Chapter 142: Serious Illness

Outside Xiapi City, the stagnant water has gradually dissipated a lot, at least not as deep as a few days ago. The cold wind blew Guo Jia's sideburns hair, Guo Jia's appearance without a crown and hat looked so bohemian and uninhibited, and it was so out of place with everyone.

Cao Cao and the other civil and military forces stood on the mountain, staring at the scene of the inner city of Xiapi City.

The Xuzhou army breaks through to the south, and the south gate must be chosen!

Although they could also go the other way and go through the other three gates, although the stagnant water outside the three gates had dissipated a lot, it was still extremely inconvenient to march. If the Xuzhou Army is still in its heyday, then it doesn't hurt to go through the other three gates, but now that they are short of food and clothing, going to the other three gates will reduce their success rate of breaking through. The water at the south gate is the shallowest and has little effect, plus their destination is Xuyi, so you can save a lot of effort by going to the south gate.

For this reason, Cao Cao deliberately transferred a lot of defenders stationed in the outer city of Xiapi City to let the Xuzhou army relax their vigilance.

"Lord, do you really want to beat them out?" Cao Hong was a little puzzled, obviously knowing the plans of the Xuzhou army, so why not directly strengthen the garrison at the south gate, tell them that he had seen through their tricks, and then continue to besiege the city. After besieging the city for another seven or eight days, the Xuzhou army will definitely not have the strength to resist, and it will be okay to directly attack the city at that time

Cao Cao shook his head, "Zilian, don't you know that the trapped beast is still fighting?" Even if you are hungry and have no strength, with a lot of spirit, it will bring a lot of casualties to our army, and the soldiers of our Cao army are not used to consume like this. ”

Xi Zhicai patted Cao Hong's shoulder and showed a sinister smile, "Zilian, have you heard of it?" It is easier for people to lose resistance when they are disappointed after they have hope. ”

Cao Hong doesn't have so much speculation about people's hearts, anyway, what you say is what it is.

Guo Jia touched his chin, thinking about something, and walked up the mountain with Dian Wei and five hundred iron guards. Five hundred soldiers dressed in black iron armor, crossed the sword and held the sword, standing neatly and solemnly around Guo Jia.

Dian Wei stood beside Guo Jia, also wearing a black cloak.

The cloak resembles a cloak garment with a fish-scale iron armor inside. This fish scale armor is made of 2,200 pieces of iron and weighs more than 40 catties. If it weren't for a powerful and burly person like Dian Wei, ordinary people wouldn't be able to wear it at all. But even such an iron armor is not for everyone. It was also Guo Jia who was regarded as a confidant by Han Ji, and all the weapons and armor created were first deployed to Guo Jia's ironclad guards, so Guo Jia had a lot of good equipment.

Reduce the defenders of the outer city of Xiapi City, and let the Xuzhou army break through the siege, and then, ambush on all sides。。。。。。

"Ahem! Ahem, cough, cough, cough! When Guo Jia was thinking about a strategy, he suddenly coughed twice, and then coughed continuously, and Guo Jia was still clutching his chest in pain.

"Sir?" Dian Wei naturally heard Guo Jia's coughing sound and also saw Guo Jia's painful face.

"Sir, you are! I'm going to call a medical officer! Dian Wei was about to run back to the camp to find a medical officer, but was stopped by Guo Jia.

"It's okay, I should have a little cold, go back and find someone to boil hot porridge for me to drink, by the way, warm my body, add some dogwood to the porridge water."

Dogwood, also known as Yue Jiao, grows in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui regions, and is also known as Aizi. Its flavor is fragrant, not Langui. The fruit is extremely spicy and edible. The stems and leaves can be used as medicine, the function is to warm the stomach and dry dampness, and the dogwood leaves can also treat infectious diseases such as cholera, and the roots can kill insects.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no such food as chili pepper, and people mostly used dogwood to enhance the flavor.

This plant, which is very common in Xuzhou, is mostly found in ravines, streams or moist slopes, and can be seen everywhere outside the city of Xiapi, so it is not difficult to find dogwood in Xiapi.

Dian Wei hesitated for a moment, but still listened to Guo Jia's words, in the cold winter, it was normal for a literati like Mr. Xiang to fall cold, but he still asked an ironclad guard to return to the camp and brought another piece of cloth for Guo Jia to put on Guo Jia's body.

Soon after, Cao Cao sent someone to invite Guo Jia back to the camp to discuss the war, Guo Jia always felt dizzy, so he also walked slowly. After entering the big tent, he found that everyone was waiting for him, and Cao Cao saw that everyone had arrived, so he started a military discussion.

Xun You offered the same strategy as Guo Jia, that is, to completely crush the morale and hope of the Xuzhou army with an ambush array on ten sides, and then surround the Xuzhou army with ten armies. Xi Zhicai pointed to the map and discussed with Cao Cao and Xun You about the suitable location for the ambush and the leading generals of the ten teams.

Guo Jia felt that people were getting more and more dizzy, and he didn't hear what everyone was saying.

Cao Cao heard the words of Xun You and Xi Zhicai, and couldn't help nodding continuously, and suddenly found that Guo Jia didn't seem to speak, but lowered his head, as if he was pondering something, Cao Cao thought that Guo Jia had some "conspiracy" again, so he asked Guo Jia for a plan.

"Bonghyo, what do you have in mind?"

Guo Jiaren was dizzy, as if he hadn't heard.

"Bong-hyo? Bong-hyo? ”

"Well, well, you can ambush the Xuzhou army with an ambush strategy from all sides." Guo Jia woke up like a dream and spoke.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, and Cao Cao also felt strange, "Gongda has already said this plan just now, didn't Feng Xiao rest well last night?" ”

"No, I 。。。。。。" Guo Jia felt that it was dark in front of him, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"Bong-hyo! Bong Hyo! ”

"Sir!"

"Medic! Military! Hurry up and pass on to the military doctor! Just go! ”

"Where am I?"

In a drowsy state, Guo Jia slowly opened his eyes, he reached out and rubbed his swollen head, and what caught his eye was the gray-white tent roof.

"General, you're finally awake!" Dian Wei, who was guarding the side, saw Guo Jia wake up, and the look on his face was full of surprise.

"How long did I sleep?" Guo Jia supported his upper body and wanted to sit up, but his arms felt particularly weak, Dian Wei hurriedly stepped forward to hold his arm and helped him sit on the couch.

Two days.

Guo Jia's face was slightly surprised when he learned the answer, his own body, he knew better than anyone else that ordinary fever and cold would not make him weak to this point at all. But now he felt that his headache was rising, there seemed to be a fire burning in his internal organs, and most importantly, he couldn't lift a little strength from top to bottom of his body.

He asked Xiang Dianwei, "What disease do I have?" ”

When Dian Wei heard this, he was distracted, his black face was full of hesitation and pain, and he gritted his teeth, not knowing how to answer.
