Chapter 1091: Zhou Yu dies of illness

After that, the sentry recounted the more specific situation.

The gist of it is that Yuan Shu's army, which originally besieged Wu County, could not spend much time to eliminate the Jiangdong Sun family.

Once the Sun family is destroyed, the entire Jiangdong land will fall into the hands of Yuan Shu.

In addition, Ji Ling's department can also include Guangling County and Xiapi County in Xuzhou, and maybe even Donghai County.

In this situation, Yuan Shu was naturally very happy and excited.

However, the good times did not last long, and an unexpected epidemic directly wiped out Yuan Shu's army of more than 100,000 people.

Now let alone occupy the land of Jiangdong and some areas of Xuzhou, even Yuan Shu's current Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, and Danyang County are afraid that they will not be able to keep it.

Yuan Shu went from great joy to great sorrow in one fell swoop!

Under the rush of fire, coupled with Yuan Shu's age, he was already relatively old, and his body weakened all of a sudden.

If it's just a rush to attack the heart, resulting in physical weakness, maybe it can be cured.

Coincidentally, Yuan Shu was infected with the epidemic again, so he died directly.

After Zhao Feng heard this, he was also embarrassed, he didn't expect Yuan Shu to die like this.

But overall, Yuan Shu still made money.

After all, he lived a few years longer than the official history, and his throne was not killed by anyone.

In any case, his throne can be regarded as a normal succession to his son Yuan Yao.

It's just that with Yuan Shu's current family business, it is unknown whether Yuan Yao can continue to be a good emperor.

Of course, even if Yuan Yao is eliminated in the end, the Yuan family will also die in the second, and Yuan Shu will lose a lot of infamy.

After Zhao Feng listened, he waved his hand: "Got it!" ”

The sentry knight bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

With that, he turned around and exited the chamber.

For Zhao Feng, Yuan Shu's death is equivalent to one less shackle, which is also a good thing.

Time passed slowly, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past half a month, news came from Jingzhou that a miracle doctor named Zhang Ji was ordered to deal with the epidemic that spread to Jingzhou.

Because there were relevant treatment theories when he was in Emperor Lingdi before, the epidemic in Jingzhou was effectively controlled.

According to another grapevine, the reason why Zhang Zhongjing controlled the epidemic so quickly was because he summarized his early treatment experience into a book "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases".

As long as you get the right medicine, it's very fast!

At least Hua Tuo, who is also a miracle doctor, is indeed inferior to Zhang Zhongjing in terms of treatment in this regard.

Now, not to mention the complete control of the epidemic, even the land of Xuzhou has not been completely treated.

Fortunately, Zhang He, Wen Chou, Huang Zhong, Xiong Da and others led the army to assist in the disposal of corpses, which could ensure that no plague would occur.

And Liu Biao was ostensibly subservient to Cao Cao, Zhang Zhongjing was very good at treating epidemics, and naturally Cao Cao was recruited to Yuzhou to help the people of Yuzhou.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the epidemic in Yuzhou can be completely ended.

As long as he can quickly take Jingzhaoyin, Jiyin County, and Shanyang County before this, Cao Cao is affected by this epidemic, and he has more than enough to defend the territory, but the attack is insufficient.

In other words, even if Cao Cao solved the epidemic, he would not be able to attack Zhao Feng in a short period of time.

Another major event that surprised Zhao Feng was that Sun Quan changed from darkness to light and officially inherited Sun Ce's position as the lord of Jiangdong.

Moreover, what surprised Zhao Feng even more was that after half a month of repair, Sun Quan actually sent Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai and other old ministers to counterattack Danyang County and Lujiang County.

Previously, Danyang County and Lujiang County, for various reasons, had already besieged Wu County with Yuan Shu.

Now that these armies have all died under the epidemic, Danyang County and Lujiang County can be said to have no resistance left.

Ji Ling's tens of thousands of troops still need to protect Jiujiang County, and first ensure that Yuan Yao ascends the throne, and he can't manage so much at all.

And the reason why Zhao Feng was surprised was because the outbreak of the epidemic started from Wu County.

Yuan Shu's army of more than 100,000 all died of the epidemic, while Sun Quan's army did not seem to have been greatly affected.

Otherwise, they would not have taken the initiative to counterattack Danyang County and Lujiang County.

After all, the Shanyue rebellion in Huiji County and Yuzhang County also needed a large army to suppress it.

Since the old general can be sent to recover Danyang County and Lujiang County, at least it shows that the Shanyue Rebellion in Huiji County and Yuzhang County has been effectively controlled.

Of course, because of the outbreak of the epidemic, it is normal for Shanyue to be implicated.

It's just that Zhao Feng always feels that something is not quite right!

On this day, a sentry rode into the conference hall and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi, Tian Beijia asked his subordinates to send a document." ”

After speaking, he handed over the paperwork in his hand with both hands.

Xiao Xiao walked to the sentry horse, took the paperwork with both hands, and handed it to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng opened the document, just glanced at it, and saw the general content of the document.

The main thing is that at present, 60,000 male recruits and 15,000 female recruits have been assembled in the Yuan clan.

Who should be sent to train these recruits?

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Go back and tell Tian Feng to ask him to gather two hundred veterans and train temporarily for a month." ”

"After teaching these recruits the basics, send them to Yin Chenggao, Henan!"

The sentry knight bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

With that, he turned around and exited the chamber.

After waiting for the sentry to ride away, Zhao Feng really relaxed.

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for Cao Cao to start another war within a month.

And even if Cao Cao launched a war, the armies of all parties would be able to hold out for at least a month.

As long as he waited for this batch of recruits to come, Zhao Feng would have no fear of Cao Cao.

After all, it is just to resist the city and defend it, and there is no need to charge into battle, as long as you can shoot arrows, and you don't need archery skills to be basically up to standard, as long as you can bend the bow and arrow normally, you can effectively strike at Cao's army.

In this way, it will be possible to fill the defensive gaps everywhere.

In other words, Zhao Feng has passed the most difficult time.

Time passed slowly, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two months, a group of veteran generals sent by Sun Quan have recovered Danyang County and Lujiang County.

Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang's subordinates also took the land of Jingzhao Yin.

Xu Huang, Hua Xiong, and Wei Yan have already taken Jiyin County and Shanyang County.

Seventy-five thousand male and female recruits also arrived in Chenggao half a month ago, and Lu Su was fully responsible for training.

Lu Su had trained recruits for several years, and it was very easy to get started.

On the Yuzhou side, the epidemic has basically been solved.

this day.

A sentry rode into the conference hall and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”

"There is news from Jiangdong that the partial general Zhou Yu has died of illness in Wu County!"

After Zhao Feng heard this, he was taken aback, and couldn't figure out why Zhou Yu died at this time?
