(Thanks to the Great Alliance!) Thank you Zhao Wuxian 2014, ufgw, ethereal vs, northern wind and snow, good baby 555)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the third day of June, it is the hottest weather of the year, but on the big boat in the riverside water village, bathing in the river breeze, the whole body is cool, and it feels really refreshing.

Zhou Yu, who had just finished inspecting the river defense, and his subordinates stood under the flying house of the warship, feeling the refreshment from the inside out. Jiang Feng can only bring coolness to the outside of the body, and a secret report in his hand makes him and his subordinates drink cold water like dog days, inside and out, and the whole body is comfortable.

The secret report is a copy handed over to Yu who completed the mission of the mission, passing through Xiakou Water Village, and hand-handed over to him when he visited Zhou Yu.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Since the beginning of May, the heat has become hotter, the swamp has become thick, and some of the soldiers of the Dragon Wolf Army have been unable to adapt to the water and soil, and they are unable to vent. As I saw in the army for half a month, there were soldiers infected with diseases every day, ranging from a dozen to a dozen. Military medical workers have concentrated the treatment of patients and set up a special village, and there are now 300 people suffering from deaths. Li Dian, the left governor of the Dragon Wolf Water Army, also contracted illness and was replaced by Gan Ning...... After many observations, I am sure that it is undoubtedly a plague, and at the moment, the people in the dragon and wolf army are panicked, their morale is low, and they will have no fighting spirit and no will to fight......"

"In the past, Ma Han left the army and returned to the north, and then there was a dragon and wolf sergeant infected with the epidemic, God bless Jiangdong, God bless the Sun family." Cheng Pu was relieved and happy.

The generals were also smiling, but Zhou Yu was silent. He's waiting for further conclusive news.

Two hours later, the scout reported: "The dragon and wolf army is in the five-mile mountain pass north of the water village, and don't set up a village." It can accommodate 1,000 people. There are 100 wooden houses and tents in the village, and the sick are inhabited, and there are white-clothed medical workers coming in and out. The inside and outside of the village are sprinkled with white ash, diffusing the medicinal gas, and a large number of medicinal residues are found at the edge of the woods outside the village......"

Zhou Yu took the package presented by the scout and opened the outer layer. The inner layer is wrapped in lotus leaves, some black dregs.

Zhou Yu summoned three medical workers and asked them to identify them. The three medical workers took turns watching, twisting, sniffing, and licking, and finally came to the same conclusion: "This is a prescription for the treatment of the plague." However, the dose seems to have increased or decreased, and new drugs have been added, which is even more clever. ”

Zhou Yu smiled at this time: "Gentlemen, the wolf king is out of the group. The wolves are weak. The time and place are right, help me but the enemy, this Jiangbei giant beast finally lay down. ”

There was laughter for a while, and the house was full of bullet crowns.

Zhou Tai immediately proposed: "Why don't you drink it to celebrate?" ”

Zhou Tai is good at wine, every time he drinks a jar, as long as the wine is stimulated, he will charge into battle. There is nothing to be afraid of. But during this period of time, he has faced the high pressure of the dragon and wolf army led by Ma Han. Everyone seems to have a big stone in their hearts, almost out of breath, who dares to drink? Now it's okay, the boulder hits the ground, the haze in the sky dissipates, the eyes are empty, and you can drink freely.

Zhou Yu didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin glanced at each other, feeling disappointed. At this moment, a voice floated in: "Wine is allowed, but not in the barracks." ”

Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Lu Meng, Dong Xi, Pan Zhang and other generals all hugged their fists and bowed: "Xie Zhong leads the army." ”

The next few days were as calm as waves. There was a steady stream of news from the dark posts along the river: the general's fleet had passed through Exian; Today, when the pheasant is dismounted, the general disembarks and enters the city to rest; Another day, the ship arrived at Chaisang, and the general held Guo Jia's hand, and said goodbye; After inspecting the Chaisan barracks, he rested for a day and boarded the ship to head north......

During the whole process, the general's shining golden armor became a living signboard, and the sentry didn't need to get close, and the bright and blind golden light was enough to completely expose the target, which was too convenient.

When the generals were developing from drinking to drinking, Zhou Yu always remained sober and kept a close eye on the situation of the Hummer's fleet heading north. In particular, Ma Han's whereabouts must be closely monitored to prevent changes. It wasn't until the fleet sailed out of Jiangxia, turned north from Chaisang, and "watched" Ma Han board the ship, that Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others really fell into their hearts.

……

On the ninth day of the first month of June, Cao Cao, Cao Pi and his son, together with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, each led dozens of followers and went to Xiakou Water Village by boat. At the invitation of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, they went to Xiakou to celebrate their birthday.

Whose birthday do you wish? Yellow covered. This is also the reason why Sun Quan came to Xiakou again. As an old minister of Jiangdong, Huang Gai has always been quite trusted by Sun Quan and has great prestige in the army, but he is not popular among the civilian officials of the Jiangdong department. Therefore, most of the people who celebrated the birthday this time were military generals, and few civilian officials came under the pretext of a long distance.

It's not that Huang Gai chose the place to celebrate his birthday in Xiakou Water Village, but that he didn't want to celebrate his birthday, so he still performed his duties in the Xiakou Army and patrolled the camp in armor. So Sun Quan didn't say hello either, and personally carried wine to condole.

When Huang Gai received the report from the sergeant, he couldn't believe it. Rushing all the way to the dock, when I saw the young lord smiling at the bow of the ship, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart and my old eyes moistened. Long bow to the ground, long and long.

Liu Bei saw the scene of Sun Quan hurriedly getting off the boat, helping Huang Gai to get up, and the main minister holding his arms and laughing, and said with a smile: "The little overlord is under the power of his majesty, Sun Zhong is planning to break the knot and collect his heart, and the Jiangdong Sun family is really talented." ”

Cao Cao glanced at his eldest son: "Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou." ”

Cao Pi said respectfully: "Listen to Ah Weng's teachings. ”

Here, Cao Cao was mentioning Cao Pi's scheming skills, and over there, Sun Quan pointed to the wine jar that was constantly unloaded from the bow of the ship, and announced to the soldiers of the whole army: "Tonight, I, Sun Quan and the kings, drink bitterly. ”

For a moment, the whole camp cheered. If it is said that celebrating Huang Gai's birthday is the heart of the general, then drinking with the soldiers this time is the heart of the soldiers. At any time, do not forget to grasp the power, so as to be the true character of the hero.

And Zhou Yu, who has always been opposed to drinking in the army, did not say a word, but dutifully arranged the patrol camp and guarded the sentry, and left in the middle of the banquet, and personally inspected for a while. It wasn't until the second half of the night that everything was calm and he returned to the camp to rest.

This night, the carnival of the officers and soldiers of the Jiangdong Army can be seen clearly by the soldiers of the Dragon Wolf Army on the other side......

As soon as dawn broke, the river was foggy, and the Jiangdong soldiers who woke up with a hangover walked out of the camp in twos and threes, and came to the river bank to wash, and some soldiers simply took off their strips and jumped directly into the river, cleaning and penetrating from the inside out.

Pan Zhang staggered all the way to the river, unbuckled his belt, took out the words, and ignored the fluttering soldiers in the river, a yellow arrow shot out, causing an exclamation.

Pan Zhang urinated comfortably, looked at the soldiers who were fluttering and dodging, and laughed. Suddenly, his laughter stopped abruptly, his urinary muscles contracted suddenly, the yellow arrow was interrupted, and the crotch of his pants was dripping but he didn't notice it.

On the surface of the river, the fog that seemed to be stagnant suddenly surged sharply. The river fog is surging, usually indicating that there is a boat approaching, this is nothing, but the river fog belt that is more than ten miles long is churning and rolling, as if there are countless monsters hidden in it, and they are coming on the waves, this scene is terrifying.

Pan Zhang is a veteran of the water war, how is this vision still unclear? It's a sight that can only happen when a large number of ships are approaching.

"Enemy attackβ€”"

With Pan Zhang's roar, the iron ploughheads of countless warships broke through the fog, and the double-decker and three-story warships were covered with dense soldiers. The spears on the first floor are like hedgehogs, the bows and crossbows on the second floor are in unison, and on the top floor, the commanders and generals of the warships are heavily guarded. On every warship, there are two big flags fluttering: the red dragon flag and the white wolf.

Dragon and Wolf Army, undeclared!

The siren sounded, and the Jiangdong soldiers crawled ashore and poured into the camp.

A moment later, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin, dressed in armor, poured out. Looking at the dragon and wolf army warships that covered almost half of the river, the generals of Jiangdong all gasped.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath: "Raise the flag and send a message." ”

On the top of the cliff behind the side of Xiakou Water Village, a red flag suddenly rose, and three chirping birds were shot at the same time.

There was a burst of shouting sound from the reeds on both sides of the water village, the reeds were swaying, the water waves were agitated, and thirty or forty Jiangdong Army warships were drilled out, and the words "Sun" and "Lu" were clearly written on one side of the ship, which was Lu Meng; On the other side is the big banner of the word "Guan" - Guan Yu.

That's right, Zhou Yu was prepared. He had already ambushed more than 3,000 boats in the reeds around the water village, waiting for the dragon and wolf army to come.

When he learned that Sun Quan was going to Xiakou to celebrate Huang Gai, Zhou Yu dissuaded him, believing that this move was too risky and that the Dragon Wolf Army might attack.

Sun Quan said, "This is a good opportunity to test the sincerity of the Dragon Wolf Army. If there is no attack, it shows that it is sincere, and I can escape from this catastrophe; If there is an enemy attack, its wolf ambition is obvious, and we can take the opportunity to counteract. ”

Since Ma Han left, the epidemic in the Dragon Wolf Army Village has spread, and Zhou Yu is also full of confidence in the water combat strength of the Jiangdong Army. Especially this kind of ambush countermeasures, which is his forte, after thinking about it again and again, he finally agreed.

It was true that the soldiers were binge drinking, and it was also true that the ambush was true, and in the minds of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, it was the norm to fight and talk, and it was also a common method among the forces at that time to promote talks. Ma Han has just left on the front foot, and there is an epidemic, the dragon and wolf army is unstable, there will be small-scale attacks, and it is unlikely that a large-scale horizontal attack will be held, and the decisive battle will ...... I didn't even think about it.

And the posture of the dragon and wolf army in front of him is a decisive battle!

When he saw Li Dian, the rumored "sick and bedridden" dragon and wolf navy commander, standing on the bow of the ship and commanding the flag, Zhou Yu's heart tightened, not good, could it be that this plague is fraudulent?

Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others have not yet recovered from the truth of this plague, but they saw that the dragon and wolf army warships shifted to both sides and gave way to the middle, like a sandwich to welcome the arrival of the emperor.

A huge warship appeared in front of him, approaching from afar, and the red-eyed white wolf headhunter was particularly eye-catching. Under the big river, above the flying house, a person dressed in white, when the wind stands, the clothes fly, in the midst of the thousands of troops, the attitude is leisurely, like a leisurely stroll.

Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei all opened their mouths wide together, and their eyes almost protruded from their sockets, from head to toe, as if thunder, and they were numb.

This person, this person turned out to be the soul of the dragon and wolf army, the general of the Han Dynasty - Ma Han!

If this white-clothed man is a horseman, who is the person wearing a golden helmet and golden armor who is swaggering north?! (To be continued......)
