Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 471
There are many future troubles, which need to be solved one by one.Water Gu is the most frustrating, not only causing non-combat losses to soldiers, but also causing panic. The difficulty is that there is no specific medicine, and the doctor is helpless.

Cao Cao's headache was faintly recurring. He soaked a white towel and wiped his forehead. He suddenly remembered Zhou Cang's repeated instructions to Cao Chong when he went to Yedu. "Orders, first, each battalion will not be allowed to drink raw water in the future, but must drink boiled water, wash hands before and after meals, and those who violate the order will be given fifty sticks. Second, anyone who is suspected of being infected with the epidemic will be isolated, and no one will be allowed Get close, and send people to deliver food and water at the door every day, and let him take it himself. If no one comes to take it, he will be burned. Third, fill the puddles and dig deep wells to get water."

With the three orders, Cao Cao immediately felt a little refreshed, and his brain came alive. "Ma Teng in Xiliang is nothing to worry about. With Zhao Yan's four troops around, Zhou Cang will not act rashly. Let Cao Chun lead the tiger and leopard riders back to Xinye immediately." This is a good idea. Tiger and leopard riders are not needed for water battles. It can be the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry out of the epidemic area, or it can be the policy to Xudu, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Ming Gong, Zhou Yu and Liu Bei must be responsible for the rumors in Jingzhou. Jia Xu is willing to go to Xiangyang to track down the traitors and calm people's hearts." It is rare that Jia Xu can take the initiative to ask for orders.

"With Wenhe here, I have no future worries." Cao Cao was very happy. "However, we still need a general to assist us..."

"Prime Minister, I would like to help Mr. Jia Xu." Zhang Jai said proactively.

The military generals looked at Zhang Jaw and felt a little unbelievable. This trip to the south of Jiangdong can be said to be a sure thing, and it is the best time to win military exploits. Why did Zhang Jaw give up?This is also good, there is one less powerful opponent to compete with him.Yu Jin was especially happy, wow, Zhang Liao, who was at odds with him, went to Hefei, Le Jin was in Jiangxia, and Zhang Jaw returned to Xiangyang, who else could compete with him again.

"Okay." Cao Cao drew out a command arrow. "Xiangyang soldiers and horses will be dispatched by Wenhe and Junyi..."

"Prime Minister, Liu Qi still has party members in Jingzhou, and I am willing to follow General Junyi to catch the rest." Cai Mao also took the initiative to invite Ying, and if he does not leave now, let alone when.

Cao Cao pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "We still need the assistance of Degui in the water battle against Jiangdong, so it's better to stay in the camp."

Even though there was a lot of unhappiness in his heart, Cai Mao had to endure it and dare not reveal a little bit, let alone ask Cao Cao for orders.Just when he was about to retreat, Cheng Yu said: "My lord, although Wenhe and Junyi have the ability to eliminate future troubles, they are not from Jingzhou after all, so they will inevitably attract criticism. Degui is familiar with Jingzhou, so he is from Anshi. heart of."

Yu Jin immediately followed up and said: "Exactly, I think Cai Zhong, Cai He brothers are proficient in water warfare, and they are good enough to use." But he was thinking in his heart, if I can't control you, Cai Mao, can I not control your two younger brothers?He couldn't hide his careful thoughts from Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu secretly cast countless contempt on Yu Jin.

"Alright, Degui will also return to Xiangyang." Cao Cao said. "Wen Ze, the navy still needs to intensify their drills so that there will be no mistakes."

"Yes!" Yu Jin said loudly after his plan succeeded. "It's just that since the beginning of winter, the northwest wind has been very strong, the river has been uneven, and the boats have been bumping violently..."

Cao Cao glared at Yu Jin, and then asked Cai Mao, "Is this always the case? How did the Jingzhou navy respond?"

"That's true. If we talk about the countermeasures, the Jingzhou navy is used to staying on the boat, so it doesn't feel like it. Moreover, only Huang Zu in the Jingzhou navy has fought against Jiangdong, and it has not yet entered winter."

Cao Cao frowned, which meant that the Jingzhou navy had never fought in winter.How should this be done?
"Hehe, is this difficult for you?" Cao Cao had a flash of inspiration. "You can make iron cables to connect the ships end to end, and put wooden boards between the sides of the ships, so that both people and horses can pass." Cao Cao is planning to build a mobile long fortress on the water. Each fleet is a Great Wall on the water, riding the wind and flowing And then the Jiangdong ship was smashed into pieces.

Cheng Yu was shocked: "Master, absolutely not."

"Why not?"

"Connecting the warships into one body, although advancing and retreating at the same time, the momentum is great, but it will also be damaged. If Jiangdong attacks with fire, he will not be able to escape."

"Well, Zhong De is worrying too much." Cao Cao laughed. "Fire attack must rely on wind force. In winter, I have only heard of west wind and north wind. Where does the southeast wind come from? If Zhou Yu set fire, wouldn't he burn himself?"

"There are unpredictable things in the sky, my lord needs to be cautious."

"Hahaha, even if God deceived me Cao Cao and cared for him Jiangdong, Zhong De imagined how Jiangdong warships could go up against the wind and approach my warship? Before he gets close, I can shoot back with all my arrows, and he can't get close How can I set fire? What Zhong De said, I have already thought about it. And my warships joined together to attack Chibi, even if Zhou Yu has the ability of Sun Wu, he can do nothing to me."

"This?" Cheng Yu's persuasion was ineffective, so he had to back down.

Jia Xu, Zhang Ja, and Cai Mao led the order to Xiangyang.Cao Cao ordered that Yu Jin and Mao Jie summoned the blacksmiths in the camp to forge iron chains day and night. If the irons brought by the army were not enough, they would collect them from the people. If they were still not enough, Yu Jin ordered the confiscation of the Jingzhou soldiers' weapons, and nearly ten thousand Jingzhou soldiers turned into sticks in their hands. With bamboo spears and bamboo swords, he even pretended to practice and fight, which was ridiculed by Cao Jun.

The Jingzhou soldiers were already grievous, and now they were even more angry. Together with the Jingzhou soldiers who had not confiscated their weapons, they cursed Cao Jun in private, hating Cai Zhong and Cai He for their incompetence.Cai Zhong and Cai He were even more distressed. They used to draw soldiers' cream and drink their blood to fill their private pockets. First, they were robbed by Liu Bei, but now they were cut off by Yu Jin.

The Jingzhou soldiers were negative, so Mao Jie saw it. He was quite dissatisfied with the practice of banning and suppressing the Jingzhou soldiers. He found Xun You and Cheng Yu and expressed his concerns.

Cheng Yu smiled instead: "Xiao Xian thought we didn't know, but the Lord didn't know?"

"Could it be that there is a deeper meaning in it?"

"Liu Jingsheng has ruled Jingzhou for decades, and there are so many party members. After Huang Zu's death, all [-] soldiers under his command were under the command of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and [-] to [-] people surrendered. How can he obey without strict discipline?"

Mao Jie shook his head and said: "Even so, beheading a promise is enough to shock his heart, and it is the best policy to pay equal attention to grace and power."

Xun You said: "Listening to the text, it is said that the Jiangdong army is coming, Cai Mao is too timid to fight, and Jingzhou soldiers are embarrassed. Although it is the best policy to pay equal attention to kindness and power, but the war is urgent, we cannot tolerate it first." Speaking of this, Xun You believed it with a click. Jia Xu once proposed to suspend the dispatch of troops to Jiangdong. Could it be because of this consideration?

Cheng Yu persuaded Mao Jie: "As long as I defeat the Jiangdong navy, everything will be solved. At that time, Jingzhou soldiers and horses will march into Wujun for the front."

Mao Jie thought about it, and it seemed that what the two said was also reasonable. Jingzhou soldiers and horses were indeed difficult to deal with. It would be a hidden danger if so many people stayed in Jingzhou. They surrendered completely, then let them slowly consume as a forward.
