It was almost midnight, Cao Cao boarded the ship, and he wanted to personally wait to meet Huang Gai, who was about to come to surrender. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Chu was close to Cao Cao, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Cao Ren and other civil and military officers followed, and everyone entered the cabin and sat down.

Cao Cao frowned and asked Cao Ren, "Didn't you nail all the warships together today?" ”

"It's all nailed together." Cao Ren reported truthfully.

Cao Cao was surprised: "How did I see many sergeants on the ship just now that they are still listless, it stands to reason that this ship is very stable now, and it shouldn't be so seasick." ”

Hearing this, Cao Ren hurriedly went out to take a look, grabbed a sergeant who was standing there and couldn't straighten his waist and scolded: "What's the matter, haven't you eaten today?" ”

The sergeant hurriedly straightened his waist: "The general forgives me, I, I just feel unwell, I feel weak, and my head hurts." Before he finished speaking, his waist softened again.

Cao Ren just wanted to scold, but when he turned his head and saw that there were several people next to him who looked like this, he hurriedly reached out and touched the sergeant's forehead, and found that it was indeed a little hot.

Reaching out and touching the others, Cao Ren found that several people were sick, and hurriedly entered the cabin to report to Cao Cao: "It seems that many sergeants are sick." ”

"It's not that you haven't rested during the day, right?" Cao Cao didn't forget that he threw up during the day.

Cao Ren shook his head and said: "All of them have hot foreheads and weak bodies, and they look like they are sweating profusely, maybe it's not as simple as seasickness." ”

"You're saying that a lot of people are like that? Quick, send the doctor to question. "Cao Cao remembered that there have been plagues in many places in the past few decades, so I won't be unlucky, right?

The doctor ran over to Cao Cao and said, "Prime Minister, the army has already discovered that some people are unwell two days ago, and the inferior and other doctors have already given them medicine for treatment. ”

"However, just now Zixiao told me that there are several sergeants on this ship who are sick, how did you cure it!" Cao Cao was angry.

The doctor knelt and didn't dare to raise his head: "The number of sick people in the first two days was not much, and we were almost fine after giving the medicine, but tonight suddenly many more sergeants showed symptoms, and they didn't have time to report to the prime minister." ”

"It can't be a plague, right?" Cao Cao was worried that he would be in trouble as soon as he was infected.

The doctor hurriedly replied: "So many people have symptoms at once, then this disease is definitely contagious, and I hope that the prime minister will take measures earlier, so many patients, I am only afraid that there will not be enough medicine in the army." ”

"Hurry up, let the armies count how many people are infected with the disease. Zixiao, quickly replaced all the sergeants outside. Cao Cao touched his forehead, thinking that he had vomited today, could it be that he had been infected? No wonder I saw so many people lying on the side of the boat and vomiting during the day, it turned out that the outbreak had already begun at that time.

Zhong Wenwu also hurriedly touched his forehead and shook his head one by one: "Oh, I'm also a little dizzy, I have to take some medicine quickly." ”

"We have to hurry up and let the doctor take a look at all of us, if one of us is infected, we won't be able to discuss it together in the future, it doesn't matter if we get sick, if the prime minister is also infected, it will be a crime that deserves death!"

"Shut up!" Cao Cao was furious, didn't he just want to disturb the morale of the army, and hurriedly asked Cao Ren to catch up with the doctor, so that they would not go around preaching that many people were sick, only saying that they were seasick, and that they would gather all the patients in one place for treatment.

But where can this be concealed from everyone, the rumor of the plague has spread immediately in the army at an unknown speed of many times faster than the plague, and all the sergeants are panicked, and those who are not sick will be scared out of the sick.

Cao Cao himself was still in a panic, and after asking the doctor to check it carefully to make sure that it was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, the news came that Huang Gai had led the army to surrender.

"Come with me to the top of the boat." Cao Cao just wanted everyone to be distracted and not to be intimidated by the plague.

Dozens of clippers sailed on the river in the distance, the lights on the boats were bright, the gongs and drums were ringing, and the people on the boats could be faintly heard shouting in unison: "Surrender, we are here to surrender!" "It seems to be fighting to prove to Cao Cao that they were not ordered to attack at night, but at night.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone: "Look, God helps our army, Sun Quan doesn't know the current affairs, when I eliminate Liu Bei, the next one will be to destroy him." ”

Jia Xu and Liu Ye watched the boat sail so fast, and reminded Cao Cao: "Now it is the northeast wind blowing towards us, if Cao Gai is in case of a false landing, but the wind sets fire, it will be troublesome." ”

Cao Cao also remembered, and hurriedly ordered the clipper to be put down to check, but said to the two of them: "Since it is a tailwind, it is also appropriate to be faster." He hopes it's good news and will lift the morale of the military.

Huang Gai's fleet had already hung up the full sails and adjusted the angle, and the fierce northeast wind howled, and before Cao Jun's several interceptor ships arrived, they had already lit the ignition on the ship, jumped on the boats tied to the back of the boats and quickly evacuated.

Dozens of fireships quickly approached Cao Cao's fleet, and with the help of strong winds, Cao's ships were set on fire in an instant.

For a while, the flames were soaring, and one after another Cao Jun's warships were on fire and burning, and even the camp where Cao Jun was standing on the shore was burned.

Cao Cao fled to the shore in terror, desperately calling out to the army: "Hurry up and put out the fire!" Spread the fleet! ”

In the distance, Zhou Yu led the navy to see the fire, and the war drums had already been beaten, and thousands of ships were in unison, rushing to take advantage of the fire to rob.

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, Sergeant Guan Yu, who had been lurking in the grass for a long time, saw the fire, and immediately lit the three fires around him, and quickly passed the news to Guan Yu and Ge Liang upstream in two or three miles.

Ge Liang, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, saw the signal coming, and hurriedly shouted: "General Guan, Zhou Yu has set fire, we should also go up!" ”

Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes had already widened, and he gave an order: "Beat the drum and attack!" ”

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill! "The sailors paddled hard—we didn't have a good wind, we went with the water, and it was easy to row.

The soldiers on the forward ship of the Cao army were still immersed in the panic of the plague just now, and they were shocked to hear that the rear team was attacked by the Jiangdong naval army, and they were already in a panic, and suddenly saw the Guan Yu army rushing over in front of them, where did they still have the heart to resist, and they rushed to abandon the ship to flee to the shore, and many people were squeezed into the river.

According to Ge Liang's orders, the Jingzhou naval army did not rush to get on the boat to chase and kill Cao Bing, but drove all the way from Jiangxin, desperately shouting to kill and disturb the enemy army, and fired rockets at Cao's boat with a longbow in his hand - mainly to burn the ship!

Hundreds of warships in the rear of Cao's army were burned, but fortunately, the ships upstream removed the chains and planks in time, quickly dispersed and separated, and finally escaped the fate of being burned in a series; Cao's camp on the shore quickly cut off the connection with the fleet, and after the efforts of the army, the fire on the shore was finally extinguished.

Cao Cao ordered the sergeant to release arrows into the river to block Zhou Yu's army from landing and attacking, and suddenly got the news that the upstream was also attacked by Guan Yu's army, so he rolled his eyes angrily, drew his sword and shouted: "Attack!" We shoot arrows at their boats, too! Throw the torch! Sortie! ”
