As soon as the horse finished speaking, a small colonel shouted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, qΒ5. / Drunken Dew Academy

When Ma and Sima Yi hurriedly looked back, they saw that there was already smoke rising in the dense forest on the left, and in less than a moment, dark red flames rose in the billowing smoke, and the fire quickly began to spread.

The surging Xiliang Iron Cavalry slowed down their horses and finally stopped at this time, only one step away from the whole army entering the glade, if it weren't for this sudden fire, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry might have crashed into the trap.

"What's going on?"

Seeing that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry stopped pursuing, regrouped and began to retreat in an orderly manner under the reprimand of the leading generals, Ma couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and asked Sima Yi: "Who set this fire?" Zhongda, did you let people put it? ”

"Nope." Sima Yi shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know what's going on." ”

Soon a fast horse returned: "General, a large number of Chu troops suddenly appeared in the forest, and they are retreating to the river under the cover of the fire. ”

"General!" An adjutant general stepped forward and suggested, "Why don't you send cavalry in pursuit?" ”

"No." Sima Yi hurriedly said, "The Chu army is taking the initiative to retreat, and the enemy must not advance lightly, not to mention that there will be a Jingzhou naval army by the river, and when our cavalry arrives around this dense forest, I am afraid that the Chu army has already escaped on the boat." ”

"Well, Zhongda is right." Ma nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Order the whole army, don't attack rashly, everything will be done after the arrival of the elder brother's army." ”

Next.

When the fire was slowly extinguished, Ma Yuecai led an army of more than 200,000 cavalry to arrive.

Ma Yue stood at the edge of the forest surrounded by Jia Xu, Li Su, Lu Su, Kuai Yue, Ma Zhan and others, just in early spring, the spring rain had not arrived, and it was the time when the weather was dry and dry. The fire would burn almost the entire forest to ashes, and the smell of smoke wafted through the air, and the scorched earth was still billowing with smoke.

"Huh. Father, what do you think it is? ”

Ma Zhan, who was behind Ma Yue, suddenly let out a startled sigh and shouted with his finger in front of him.

Ma Yue, Jia Xu and others looked in the direction of Ma Zhan's finger, only to see a black thing dumped under a boulder not far away, which looked like a board car, but it had been burned to black.

"This ......," Li Su said in a lost voice, "it's actually a ballista!" ”

"Damn it." Jia Xu also gasped. He said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect the Chu army to copy our army's ballista!" ”

"It's nothing." Ma Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said indifferently. "The structure of the ballista is not complicated, and there is no shortage of capable people under Cao Zhen. You can know how to do this thing at a glance, but a few ballistas are not enough to change the huge gap in strength between the two armies of Chu and Liang. If Cao Zhenxiaoer and Zhuge Villager want to use ballistas to resist the lonely's 300,000 army. That's looking for your own death. ”

"Report ......" Ma Yue's voice fell. Suddenly, a fast horse galloped from ahead, shouting loudly. "Xiangyang Emergency."

Ma Yue raised his head and shouted, "Speak." ”

"The armies of Xu Huang, Fang Yue, and Ma have captured Xiangyang, and the Chu army is fleeing to Jiangling."

The voice of the messenger fell, and the civilian and military generals behind Ma Yue showed excitement, but they didn't expect Xu Huang to capture Xiangyang, the base camp of the Chu army, so quickly, the smooth progress of the battle was a little unexpected, but the expressions on the faces of Ma Yue, Jia Xu, Lu Su, Kuai Yue and others were diametrically opposite, not only were they happy, but they showed a look of worry. Drunken Dew Academy

"It's a pretty fast run!" Ma Yue clenched his fist with his left hand, hit the palm of his right hand hard, and sighed regretfully, "It seems that the expectation of severely inflicting a heavy blow on the Chu army in Xiangyang will also be disappointed, and now the Chu army has retreated to Jiangling in great strides, and behind Jiangling is the Yangtze River, and it is unlikely to catch the main force of the Chu army in Jiangbei and annihilate it, alas......"

Jia Xu persuaded: "As long as this battle can capture the two counties of Nanjun and Jiangxia north of the Yangtze River, plus Nanyang County, our army has already occupied three of the seven counties of Jingxiang, even if Cao Zhen's whole division retreats to the south of the Yangtze River, its governing territory is only a few hundred miles, and the people are only a few hundred thousand, just like grasshoppers after the autumn, it will not be able to jump for a few days." ”

Ma Yue pondered for a moment and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, let Xu Huang lead 20,000 cavalry to the south first, and approach Jiangling, Fang Yue and Ma will not move for the time being. ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "Xu takes orders." ”

……

Yizhou.

The Xiqiang rebellion was quelled, Ma Zheng selected 20,000 young and powerful Qiang soldiers to go with the army, and the rest of the old and young women and children who were willing to return to Xiqiang were all sent back to their hometowns, and those who were unwilling to return to their hometowns were resettled on the spot, and the Xichuan scholars arranged land for tuntian. Half a month later, Ma Zheng and Zhang Song joined forces and marched south with an army of 70,000 cavalry.

When Fanwang Meng heard the news, he immediately gathered a total of 20,000 elite soldiers from all walks of life to confront the Xiliang army in Sanjiang City.

Ma Zheng according to the law in the Sanjiang City outside the snake valley ambush and set fire, and made the vanguard general Ma Yantuo deceive the defeat to lure the enemy, Ma Yantuo ten battles and ten defeats, defeated the snake valley, Meng Shu did not know that the plan led the soldiers to chase straight into the snake valley, is the column of pursuit, suddenly heard the drums on both sides of the valley shook the sky, the sound of killing, Meng Shu hurriedly looked up, the valley rockets rained like rain, ignited the valley buried in the fire of the ground.

In the Coiled Snake Valley, the fire filled the sky in an instant, and the poor king Meng was reduced to ashes by the following 20,000 elite soldiers.

……

Gangneung, Ma Yuexing's residence.

When Ma Yue was discussing with Jia Xu, Lu Su, Kuai Yue, Sima Yi and others, Li Su suddenly hurriedly walked into the side hall and said to Ma Yue: "Lord, there is news from Wulin Port. ”

"Oh?" Ma Yue said happily, "Is it that General Xu Huang has already captured Wulin Port?" ”

"Nope." Li Su shook his head solemnly and replied, "General Xu Huang is in trouble. ”

"Trouble?" Ma Yue asked, "What's the trouble?" ”

Li Su said: "Because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, more than half of the soldiers in the army have fallen ill, and a large number of war horses are losing fat like crazy

Not to get up, General Xu Huang commanded 20,000 vanguard iron cavalry, and now only the soldiers can barely fight, the only thing to be thankful for is. The Chu army does not seem to know the reality of our army. Didn't take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, if not. The consequences are unimaginable. ”

"Not adapted?" Ma Yue frowned and said, "It's early spring right now, and it's far from the rainy season. The weather hasn't warmed up yet, so how can it be unadaptable? And even if it's not adaptable. The situation can't be so serious! When the lone rate of 8,000 iron horsemen swept through Jingyang. I have also encountered the problem of not adapting to the soil and water. But it's not that serious. ”

At the beginning, Ma Yue led 8,000 iron horsemen to sweep Jingyang. Li Su also went on expeditions with the army. Of course, this situation is the clearest.

Li Sushen nodded approvingly and said: "I am also very confused in my heart, and it is also Xiliang Iron Cavalry." Why is the cavalry of the main public land not afraid of the water and soil in the south, but the cavalry of General Xu Huang is so poor. It's a strange thing. But now General Xu Huang and 20,000 soldiers are in danger. The lord should still send reinforcements to the rescue as soon as possible. So as not to miss a big thing. ”

"Wait." Kuai Yue suddenly interrupted Li Su. asked, "Zi Yan just said that even the war horse is losing fat like crazy, right?" ”

Li Su said: "Exactly. Drunken Dew Academy"

Kuai Yue asked again: "Did the messenger sent by General Xu Huang say that the sick soldiers had any symptoms?" ”

"Yes, I said it." Li Su said, "It seems to be a headache and fever, a swollen abdomen, and weakness all over ......."

"It's broken!" "This must be an acute big belly disease." ”

"Pot-bellied?" Ma Yue, Jia Xu and others looked at each other and said, "What is a big belly disease?" ”

Kuai Yue said: "I also have a little study of medical skills in the next, and I know that there is a disease in Jingzhou, and the severe ones are often as big as a drum and in pain. Therefore, it is called big belly disease, which is not harmful to southerners, and it is easy to heal itself even if it is infected. But it is very harmful to the northerners, and once the northerners are infected with this disease, they will have an acute attack. The light ones are unconscious, and the heavy ones are dead. ”

Ma Yue's heart was suddenly taken aback, and he thought coldly that Jia Xu had used the Earth Plague Poison Meter before Hangu Pass. He asked sharply, "How is this disease infected?" ”

Kuai Yue said: "You can get sick by drinking or touching unclean raw water. ”

Ma Yue asked again, "How should I be healed?" ”

"There is no cure." Kuai Yue shook his head. "But there is one characteristic of this disease. Once you get used to the water and soil in the south, you can be cured without medicine. ”

"Is there no cure?" Ma Yue frowned and asked, "Can the soldiers of the Sichuan Army be cured without medicine?" ”

Kuai Yue thought about it. He replied: "The soldiers of the Sichuan army belong to the southerners, and their physique is no different from that of Jingxiang people, even if they are sick, they will not have an acute attack, even if they drink unclean raw water, they will only suffer from chronic big belly disease, which is no different from normal people at this time, and it will not affect physical strength and combat effectiveness." ”

"That's fine." Ma Yue nodded and said, "Where are Yan Yan and Wang Ping?" ”

Yan Yan and Wang Ping hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "The last general is here." ”

Ma Yue shouted: "With Wang Ping as the main general and Yan Yan as the deputy general, he led 50,000 Sichuan troops from Jiangling to Wulin Port to meet Xu Huang, and after meeting with Xu Huang, the troops were divided into two roads, and Yan Yan led the troops to escort Xu Huang's cavalry back to Jiangling to rest, Wang Ping led the army to stay outside Wulin Port, closely monitoring the Chu army water village in the port, and remember not to act rashly. ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Yan Yan and Wang Ping agreed to the promise and took the order.

Ma Yue said again: "The rest of the Sichuan army divided troops to guard various dangerous cities to strictly prevent the Chu army from taking the opportunity to sneak attack. ”

After the generals of the Sichuan army were ordered to leave, Ma Yue said to Kuai Yue again: "Different degrees can gather in Jiangling to prepare for the treatment of 30,000 soldiers in Nanjun and Jiangxia counties. ”

Kuai Yue replied: "Kuai Yue takes the order." ”

Ma Yue finally shouted: "The rest of the generals will lead their headquarters and return to Xiangyang on the same day......"

"Report ......" Ma Yue's voice fell, and suddenly saw Dian Wei hurriedly enter and kneel on the ground and said, "Lord, Yiling is urgent!" ”

"Yiling?" Ma Yue asked, "Zhang Xiu arrived at Yiling?" ”

Dian Wei said: "General Zhang Xiu told Malai to report that the Chu army has dug up the Yangtze River, diverted water to irrigate the mountains and rivers in the north of the Yangtze River, and the mountains and valleys between Yiling and Maicheng have become Zeguo, and the flood flows north for hundreds of miles from the vicinity of Maicheng into the Xiangjiang River, which has completely blocked the road between Xiling and Jiangling, and the army led by General Zhang Xiu has been unable to rush to Jiangling to join the main gong as scheduled. ”

"What!?" Ma Yue frowned. "The road from Xiling to Gangneung has been washed away by floods? The river water is poured north and flows hundreds of miles into the Xiangjiang River? What do you want to do? It is not to rush out a new Yangtze River channel north of Gangneung. Then learn from Zhou Yu to come to a naval blockade and trap the 300,000 troops in the lonely land in Jiangling? ”

"The terrain of Jianghan is very different from the terrain of Huainan, which is not conducive to the vertical and horizontal of the navy." Jia Xu said, "Zhuge Liang's intention should just be to trap our army in Jiangling for a period of time, so that the big belly disease that Yidu said will break out on a large scale in the army." Once this big belly disease broke out on a large scale. Our army will be completely incapacitated, if the Chu army launches a counterattack at this time. Our army is more than lucky. ”

"Hmph, how can you let Zhuge Villager get his wish!" Ma Yue snorted and said to Jia Xu. "Wenhe."

Jia Xu hurriedly replied: "What does the lord command?" ”

Ma Yue said: "Order the 100,000 cavalry troops in Jiangling City, except for the Sichuan army, to stay away from the river and camp separately. With 5,000 people as a village. Each village dug its own wells to get water. It is strictly forbidden to drink river water. Drinking well water also needs to be boiled; All officers and men of the army are not allowed to leave the camp without permission. Violators shall be beheaded; Each village communicates with each other with flags and beacons, and it is strictly forbidden for idle people to enter and exit except for transporting grain, grass, and heavy ground servants; Once it is found that there are any officers and soldiers in the army who are abnormal, they will immediately come to report it. The generals who dare to conceal it privately will be killed! ”

This time. Ma Yue finally showed the advantages of modern people and land.

At that time, there was a sudden **. Almost all the people of China have become experts in the prevention and control of infectious diseases. Since Kuai Yue knows the infection route of this big belly disease. Ma Yue naturally knows how to prevent it, and it is precisely because he has personally experienced the horror of the worst and seen the horror of Jia Xu's poisoning of hundreds of thousands of Kwantung soldiers that Ma Yue is particularly vigilant against the big belly disease

As the saying goes, it's better to believe it. Not credible.

The safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers is at stake, and we must not be careless.

Li Su was stunned and said, "Lord." Isn't it a bit of a fuss that this will cause great inconvenience to the whole army? ”

"No, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Ma Yue said categorically, "It's nothing for the soldiers to endure some hardships, it's better than the annihilation of the whole army." ”

After saying this, Ma Yue asked Li Su again: "Ziyan, where are the 8,000 Huainan Navy in Ganning?" ”

Li Su replied: "Judging from the time, we should have arrived in Xiangyang." ”

"Good." Ma Yue said, "Ling Gan Ning led 8,000 Huainan naval troops to immediately go south to Maicheng, lay a barrage near Maicheng, and then erect a pontoon bridge to meet the army to cross the river, and then sent people to rush to Chengdu with 800 miles, move Shu County Taishou Zhang Ren to Nanjun Taishou, and control the 100,000 Xichuan army stationed in Nanjun and Jiangxia to prevent the Chu army from coming back." ”

……

Hanshou, Chu Wangfu.

Seeing Liu hurriedly walking into the hall, Cao Zhen hurriedly got up and asked, "Ziyang, is there any news from Jiangbei?" ”

Liu gasped twice and replied, "Lord, the situation is not good. ”

"Oh?" Cao Zhen's heart sank when he heard this, and he asked, "Tell me about it." ”

Liu Dao: "In return, the horse butcher ordered the 100,000 Sichuan army to divide troops to guard the dangerous cities everywhere to strictly prevent our army from sneaking attack, and ordered the hundreds of thousands of elite Liang troops under his command to camp in a village with thousands of people, each battalion dug wells to get water, and it is strictly forbidden to drink raw water, and it is strictly forbidden to communicate with each other between the villages, and only the beacon fire flag is allowed to transmit the message, so far, there has been no large-scale outbreak of big belly disease in the Xiliang army. ”

"Huh?" Cao Zhen was disappointed when he heard this, "How can this be? ”

The elegance and calmness on Zhuge Liang's face finally disappeared without a trace, a pair of thick eyebrows were already deeply frowned, and he said puzzledly: "The horse butcher's actions can be said to have hit the key point in the prevention and control of big-bellied disease, but he is clearly a northerner, how can he know the prevention and control strategy of big-bellied disease?" Could it be ...... Ma Yue has people from Jingzhou who are familiar with big belly disease to give him advice? ”

Liu sighed, and then said, "Lord, there is bad news. ”

Cao Zhen's brows tightened more and more, and said, "Speak." ”

Liu Dao: "The navy returned, Gan Ning led nearly 10,000 Huainan naval troops have rushed to the vicinity of Maicheng, dozens of barrage iron cables have been twisted on the surface of the Xiangjiang River, General Cai Mao's naval ships have attacked several times, trying to fuse the barrage iron cables have not succeeded, and have been smashed and sunk several ship fighting ships by the trebuchets of the Liangjun army on both sides of the Xiangjiang River, and now, the Huainan naval army is erecting a pontoon bridge, and when the pontoon bridge is erected, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the horse butcher can safely retreat to the north. ”

"Huh?" Zhang He was greatly disappointed and said, "If the hundreds of thousands of troops of the horse butcher are allowed to flee back to the north like this, won't this battle be lost?" ”

"Alas!" Zhang Liao let out a long sigh and said with annoyance, "I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have given up Nanjun and Jiangxia County so easily, now the 100,000 Sichuan army is defending the city and the danger, and it will be difficult for our army to recapture it, and if we can't wipe out the army of the horse butcher land in Jiangling this time, the gap between the strength of our army and the Liang army will only be greater in a few years, and in the long run, the big thing will be over!" ”

"Kong Ming." Cao Zhen looked back at Zhuge Liang and asked, "What should I do now?" ”

Although Cao Zhen expects Zhuge Liang to come up with a clever plan to turn things around, the cruel reality is constantly reminding Cao Zhen that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks will be useless.

Suddenly, Cao Zhen's ears involuntarily echoed the words of his father-in-law Cao Cao on the night before he died: Kong Ming is a scholar, and he has no experience in the battlefield, and the so-called clever plan to make the Liang army undefeated is just his wishful thinking, and the horse butcher is experienced in a hundred battles and is as cunning as a fox, how can he fall for his plan?

"My lord." Zhuge Liang arched his hand and replied in an astringent voice, "So far, I can only wait and see what happens." ”

……

Chaisang, on the shore of Poyang Lake.

A leaf boat is bathed in the sun, gently swaying with the wind and river breeze, Zhou Yu is wearing a green shirt and sitting alone on the bow of the boat, a bamboo flute rests horizontally on the side of his mouth, the melodious and melodious flute sound is like crying like a complaint, is tactfully described with the river breeze, just like a pair of lovers snuggling together, is whispering, at this moment, Zhou Yu's eyes showed unprecedented melancholy......

Suddenly, Zhou Yu's slender figure floated in front of him again, and he was hiding in the clouds and mist, smiling at him, and the style of that smile made Zhou Yu fascinated.

"Metropolitan Governor, Metropolitan Governor......"

An abrupt call sounded suddenly, pulling Zhou Yu back to reality, the melodious flute stopped abruptly, and Xiao Qiao's smiling figure also turned into a sparkling wave in an instant, never to be seen again, Zhou Yu sighed in amazement, and slowly turned around, only to see a boat flying over, and a person standing in the wind on the bow of the boat, it was Lu Meng.

When the two boats were close, Lu Meng jumped and lightly jumped on the stern of Zhou Yu's boat.

Zhou Yu smiled faintly and asked without looking back: "Ziming, I think the battle of Jingzhou is over?" ”

Lu Meng bent down and got through the canopy, came to stand behind Zhou Yu, and responded respectfully: "The governor of the capital is like a god, and the battle of Jingzhou is really over." ”

Zhou Yu said: "The result must be that the Liang army occupies the land of Nanjun and Jiangxia, and the whole division of the Chu army retreats to Jingnan. ”

Lu Meng sighed and said: "Most of the governors don't leave the house, but they know everything about the world, and they will bow to them." ”

Zhou Yu said abruptly: "The coach of the Chu army, Zhuge Liang, is just a scholar, the so-called undefeated and defeated is too much to take for granted, and it is expected that he will end up undefeated in the end, and if he thinks about it seriously, the Chu army is actually defeated, after all, he lost the southern county and Jiangxia in Jiangbei, but then again, if someone else is replaced as the coach of the Chu army, the result will only be worse, Zhuge Liang at least retains 30,000 Chu army elites." ”

"What the Governor said is very true." Lu Meng nodded, and then said, "Now that the horse butcher has returned to the court, but Jingbei has 100,000 Xichuan troops stationed in Jingbei, and Zhang Ren, a famous general in Sichuan, is sitting in Jiangling, and it is impossible for the Chu army to recapture Nanjun and Jiangxia.
