Cao Cao led the army into the river, thousands of warships broke through the river, the river wind howled, the river water slapped the hull of the ship, and the warship swayed and swayed towards the east.

At the same time, Liu Bei and Sun Quan also integrated the army, with Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu as the left and right governors, leading 40,000 people, going up against the water to block Cao Cao's army. The other was 10,000 men and horses, and they took advantage of the Haikou on the west side to hold the 40,000 sailors in Qingzhou.

When they reached the Red Cliff, they met Cao's army, but at this time, they found that there seemed to be an outbreak of plague among Cao's army.

At the same time, the newly formed naval army of the soldiers from the north had little combat power because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and the naval army of Jingzhou was not sufficient to run in with the rest of the military horses, which can be said to be fighting separately.

The two armies tried each other for a few rounds, and Cao Cao suffered a dark loss, so he had to temporarily retreat and lead his troops north to fight the army. On the north bank of the river, the troops were stationed in the Ulin area, and the army was trained and military affairs were rectified.

And Zhou Yu led the army to be stationed in Chibi on the south bank of the Yangtze River, facing Cao Jun across the river.

······

In the tent, Cao Cao's figure looked a little tired, and the gray hair on his temples had become more numerous these days.

He sat down at his desk and remembered the children who had run past the convoy a few days earlier.

"Plague ······"

More than ten years ago, there was indeed a large-scale plague outbreak in the army, and most of the soldiers were infected with diseases, and their faces were pale and they could not fight, otherwise he would not have withdrawn from the army.

Now all the sick soldiers were isolated in a military camp, and he kept the news closed, if the soldiers and horses of Jiangdong learned about it, it would definitely hinder morale.

He closed his eyes and thought back to the children who had run past the car, and no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't understand it at all, they were just passing by the city, not going to the city.

There was no village in front of or behind, but I met a few children who didn't know where they came from in the mountain road, and they happened to be singing that little tune. And when he went to look for them, the children were gone in a blink of an eye.

Is it really providence?

Cao Cao opened his eyes and called out to the tent: "Come on." ”

A soldier walked in to obey the order, and Cao Cao waved his hand: "Spread the matter." ”

Cao Cao's generals and advisers all arrived in the camp, and the atmosphere was dull, and many of them wore towels to cover their mouths and noses. They could all guess what Cao Cao was going to discuss today, but they couldn't help it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in recent days, the Japanese army has been plagued, and the soldiers can't fight, but there are countermeasures?"

Cao Cao's voice was low on the seat, and there was no answer from the seat.

"General." The dullness of the tent was broken, and everyone in the seats looked at the man who spoke.

It was a white robe on the side, and the hat on her head was low, and for some reason, she still had a faint smell of medicine on her body.

"I can cure this disease."

The words shocked the four seats, looking at the white-robed man with an unbelievable look in his eyes, there are very few epidemics that can be cured since ancient times.

Cao Cao's eyes showed a gleam, his hand tightened his sleeve, and he confirmed to Gu Nan.

"Sir, is that serious?"

"I still know a little about medical skills, and it's not difficult to cure this disease."

"How about a bet between the general and me?" Gu Nan asked Cao Cao with a smile, and stretched out a hand as he spoke.

"Bet a big one, five hanging money."

Plague is not a disease, but a combination of SARS, plague, smallpox, and influenza, which can all be called epidemics. Overall, plague is an infectious disease due to some strongly pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses.

She just happened to know the treatment of the epidemic this time, and she had been running back and forth between the camp and the mountains during this time, and she had already prepared a prescription that could be used. I was about to report it, but I didn't know that a meeting was held.

Cao Cao chuckled, then turned to laughter.

He knew that Gu Nan always relied on this hand to swindle around, and he himself had been cheated of money several times, and every time he made him cry and laugh, but today, he was willing to gamble and lose.

"Good! As long as Mr. can cure this epidemic, don't say that it is five hanging money, and I am willing to lose to you a thousand times. ”

The people in the four shook their heads and laughed, there are few epidemics in the world that doctors can cure, but they were used by this military advisor to gamble a big one, as big as five hanging money.

As long as the epidemic can be cured, why can't you overcome Jiangdong?

Soon, someone also began to think about the future questions, and asked Gu Nan in a loud voice.

"Strategist, we don't have any herbs in the army for the time being, how can this be good?"

"Nothing." Gu Nan said clearly.

"The matter is urgent, a few days ago, I have asked my students to go to several nearby cities to buy medicinal herbs, and I think it is almost there, which can be used as the first batch of medicines. However, in the future, the general will need to send a special procurement. ”

Gu Nan has also had some savings over the years, but this time it is estimated that he will use up all these savings at one time.

"Nature." Cao Cao said, looking at the smiling crowd under the seat.

The depression in his chest was swept away, and he smiled heroically, he had Mr. Gu, and there were so many capable people with lofty ideals to help him, even if it was really impossible to disobey his destiny, he could not be defeated.

A few days later, several carts and horses loaded with medicinal herbs were transported into Cao's camp.

Gu Nan took Lingqi and a team of people into the camp, most of the people in the camp had been tortured to the point that they couldn't get up, couldn't eat, and their bodies were as thin as skin and bones.

They were stunned for a moment when they saw someone come in, and then they heard something that made them want to cry, and they were cured.

The fire was lit, the herbs were boiling, the smell of medicine spread through the camp, and the light smoke rose and drifted to the riverside.

······

Lingqi opened the door of a camp tent, and the camp tent was very clean, which Gu Nan specially ordered to clean. There were more than ten soldiers lying inside, and Gu Nan was beside one of them to check his pulse.

"The pulse is much calmer, and the illness should be cured in a few days." Softly, she lowered the soldier's hand.

The lying soldier had some blood on his face, and he was able to eat something, much better than he had been a few days ago.

He listened to Gu Nan's words, nodded, opened his mouth, and said a little weakly.

"Thank you, Strategist."

"No thanks, take care of yourself." Patting the soldier's shoulder, Gu Nan stood up.

Lingqi walked to her side: "Master, the medicine from Dongying has been delivered." ”

"Well, that's fine."

Gu Nan breathed a sigh of relief, she had been cooking medicine in the sick camp for half a month to check the pulse of the soldiers, even she was a little tired.

Just as she and Lingqi were about to go out, a soldier lying on the bed suddenly cried.

"Strategist, the grace of saving lives cannot be repaid."

Just this sentence actually made more than ten men in the camp cry, wiped their eyes, and said in unison.

"Strategist, the grace of saving lives cannot be repaid."

Originally, when they were sent to the sick camp, they were already waiting to die, and they never thought that they would be able to survive.

The military advisers came every day, and they looked at the camp tent after camp. They all saw these in their eyes, and it was also these that let them know that the military advisor really regarded their lives as their lives, not mustards.

They have never seen it in this world, and they will take the lives of these people as if they were the ones who are destined.

"Hmm." Gu Nan turned his back to the soldier and replied lightly.

"If you really thank me, you can fight this battle well, and don't die in the war again."

After saying that, he lifted the curtain and walked out.

"Yes!" The soldiers in the tent clenched their fists in front of them and shouted with red eyes.

"The pawn commands!"

After more than a month, the epidemic gradually disappeared, and they spent life and death together, but the barrier between the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou and the soldiers and horses of Cao Jun was eliminated a lot.

One night, Cao Cao held a small banquet on a warship, and not many people were called, nothing more than a few strategists and generals, a total of more than ten people.

The bright moon hangs high on the river, the moonlight splashes the river, and the moonlight looms between the waves.

A musician on the boat stroked the harp, and everyone drank wine with each other, and occasionally there were a few laughs.

Guo Jia looked depressed, Gu Nan sat beside him, he had to helplessly obey the doctor's advice and couldn't drink.

Although Cheng Yu is old, he still sits quietly and drinks heroically, which attracts applause from the audience.

Cao Cao drank a few glasses of wine, looked at the banquet, and added another glass to himself with a drunken smile.

stood up, raised his wine glass to the moonlight: "Singing about wine, what is life?"

For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past.

······

The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep.

Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the world returned to the heart. ”

The ode rose and fell in the sound of the river, and Cao Cao opened his hand to the river and drank all the wine in the cup.

"Good!" Guo Jia praised loudly, and took advantage of the situation to raise his wine glass to pour wine.

"The general is so literate, when he is a big white!"

"Ahem." Gu Nan, who was sitting on the side, coughed helplessly, she had only conditioned Guo Jia's body before, and he was not suitable for drinking during this time, otherwise she would have to trouble again.

Guo Jia's hand that was about to pour the wine paused, turned around to see Gu Nan, and put down the wine glass with a forced smile.

"Don't drink, don't drink."

And everyone on the side has already laughed and drunk a drink.

"Take down Jiangdong, and the world can be decided." Cao Cao didn't know whether to sigh or speak, and let out a long breath from his chest.

He turned around and looked at the crowd.

"Guys, maybe Jiangdong?"

Between the wines, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu looked at each other and laughed together. They had already guessed that Cao Cao would ask about this, and they had already taken countermeasures.

"If Mr. Gu hadn't cured the epidemic before, it would really be difficult to deal with the enemy." Cheng Yu poured himself a glass.

"But now." Guo Jia picked up a wine glass with wine poured and played with it in his hand.

"If Jiangdong soldiers and horses stick to Chibi along the river, it will not be an overnight thing to attack. However, at this time, they all thought that there was a great epidemic in our barracks, and the soldiers could not fight, and the horses could not walk. Jingzhou and the general's soldiers and horses had many discords, and they could not enter the battle. ”

"As long as our army continues to make this appearance, the princes of Jiangdong will think that our army will be defeated and turn defense into attack. At that time, flaws will definitely be exposed, and our army will be able to win the battle in one battle. ”

"So." Guo Jia hooked his mouth and smiled: "The general only needs to be full of sadness, just wait for the Jiangdong princes to enter the urn." ”

As he spoke, he brought the glass to his lips.

"Ahem." Gu Nan coughed again with a dark face.

Guo Jia looked at the wine glass in front of him, smashed his mouth, and finally put it down bitterly.
