"Brother Rui, it stinks!" Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Lu Rui took the Cao family and Xiahouba to Bowangpo to investigate, and Lu Rui was very interested in how Chen Zhi, who was trapped in Bowangpo, escaped.

"Well, Zhongquan, what's going on?" Lu Rui also covered his nose, excrement can be seen everywhere in Bowangpo, could it be that Liu Beijun is defecating in the mountain road, this is also incredible!

"Brother Rui, this, Ba doesn't know, Ba only knows that Liu Beijun stored water in Bowang Slope, and then dug the seal, and the water flowed down the terrain into our north and south military camps." Xiahou Ba reported what he knew to Lu Rui, everything that happened in Bowangpo was incredible. So far, I haven't come back to my senses.

"Storing water? Is there a river nearby? ”

"Yes, there is a white river less than three miles away from here, and our army is divided into two parts, north and south, and is stationed by the river, guarding the mouth and tail of the valley!"

"I see!" Lu Rui nodded, Zhuge Liang probably took advantage of the terrain to introduce the water of the White River into Bowangpo, and Liu Beijun in Bowangpo did not build fortifications, but built two simple embankments.

So is this mountain road full of feces a coincidence, or is it Zhuge Liang's masterpiece?

"Zhongquan, apart from this feces, what else is abnormal?"

"Anomaly?" Xiahou Ba touched his head and began to recall.

"Brother Rui, there is another thing, I don't know if it's abnormal."

"What is it?"

"In the middle of this trail, we also found a large number of newly made simple wooden barrels."

"Simple barrels?"

"Yes, these barrels should be used by Liu Beijun to hold excrement, and there are still a lot of residues in them."

"Residue?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment. Liu Beijun is really idle. To make barrels for excrement? Mountains all over the wilderness. Where can it not be solved? Could this have something to do with everything that happened to Xiahoudun?

"Brother Rui, let's leave this place to discuss, such a foul-smelling place, I want to vomit, my mother said that I am weak and can't smell the stench of things. Otherwise, you'll get sick! Cao Chong pouted dissatisfiedly and complained to Lu Rui.

Stench? Sick? Could it be that Zhuge Liang's plan is that? Is it because of this that the horses in the army contracted the disease?

Suddenly, a terrible thought formed in Lu Rui's mind. Zhuge Liang deliberately placed these dung pieces with wooden barrels in the mountain road. Then use the water of the White River to wash it out, and the feces meet the river water, flow around, and stay in a certain area, which is likely to produce germs, is this Zhuge Liang's plan? !

Thinking of this, Lu Rui gasped, if that was really the case, then Zhuge Liang launched an ancient biochemical war, although it may have been unintentional. But its power is immense, in the event of a plague. I'm afraid 100,000, no! Hundreds of thousands of Cao troops will face a heavy blow.

"Brother Rui, let's go, go back to the camp and discuss again. It was not too late to wait for my father to report the results. Cao Chong couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly pulled Lu Rui to leave here.

Cao Cao is coming? Cao Chong reminded Lu Rui with an unintentional remark, it is impossible to use this method to create a plague, if Zhuge Liang knew this method, he would definitely not use it so quickly, at least he would have to wait for Cao Ang's backup army to arrive before using it, this kind of lethality is even greater, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong will not let go of this opportunity!

"I see!" Lu Rui smiled, it seems that Zhuge Liang used these dung, and then did some tricks and feet, causing the horses in Xiahoudun's army to be weak, this should be Zhuge Liang's real plan.

"Okay, Brother Chong, let's go, Zhongquan, let's go see the war horse!" Lu Rui pulled Cao Chong and left Bowangpo.

After returning to the barracks, Lu Rui took the Cao family to the back camp, where the horses were. As soon as I entered the barracks, a foul smell came to my nose again.

"Zhongquan, what's going on?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, Cao Cao's military discipline is strict, and he has rules and regulations for the management of horses, which are very strict, and the place where the horses are placed must be kept clean. But as soon as Lu Rui entered the back camp, he found that the horse's feces were everywhere, which was a serious violation of military regulations.

"Brother Rui, there is no way to do it, you see, the horses have become like this." Subsequently, Xiahou Ba introduced the situation of the horses to Lu Rui, since the discharge of Bowangpo, the horses have been urinating and defecating in the past few days, and they have been dehydrated. Limbs are weak, let alone fighting on horseback.

"Oh?" Lu Rui listened to Xiahou Ba's description, and was even more sure that Zhuge Liang's plan was to paralyze Xiahoudun's cavalry. But how to rescue these horses, Lu Rui really has no choice, there was no professional veterinarian during the Three Kingdoms period, and some horse diseases rely on experienced veterans to treat them, in this regard, even if Lu Rui is a person who crosses, there is no way.

"Brother Rui, let's go, it doesn't smell good here!" Cao Chong asked about the stench, and he couldn't help it anymore, so he was about to pull Lu Rui out of the back camp.

"Brother Chong! Wait, take a look at it for my brother! Lu Rui ignored Cao Chong's opinion, but continued to inspect the back camp, hoping to find something from it.

"Brother Rui, don't you just want to know what disease these horses have? I know, you go back to the camp, I'll tell you! Cao Chong really couldn't help the stench of multiple blows, tugged at Lu Rui's sleeve, and dragged him out of the barracks.

"What, do you know what this condition is?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, what he didn't know, Cao Chong actually knew?

"Brother Chong, don't talk nonsense!" Cao Pi reprimanded Cao Chong on the side, Cao Chong was deeply favored by Cao Cao, and he could usually be stubborn, but Cao Pi would never allow it when doing business.

"Where do I have nonsense?" Cao Chong glared at Cao Pi with a look of disberence.

"Cangshu, this is not the time to talk nonsense, if you lie, can you know the consequences?" Lu Rui was ordered to investigate, if Cao Chong lied because he couldn't stand the stench, then the consequences were very serious, Cao Cao didn't recognize his six relatives in front of the law, of course, this refers to the right thing.

"Brother Rui, of course I know, as long as you leave here, I promise to tell the truth. If it is false, it will be dealt with by military law! Cao Chong raised his head. Express his determination to Lu Rui.

"Good. Case. Just listen to Cangshu, let's go back! Lu Rui saw Cao Chong's appearance, it didn't look like he was lying, then try it, after all, Cao Chong is a prodigy, maybe he can really know about the diseases contracted by horses. Even if it wasn't, Lu Rui could also take the opportunity to spur Cao Chong, after all, Cao Chong's identity as a son. Can't be too casual. Necessary warnings are still needed!

"Okay, Brother Rui!" When Cao Chong heard this, he happily came and Lu Rui left the back camp.

At this time, in a plain area twenty miles north of Bai County, there was a strange Cao army stationed here, saying that this army was strange, and the strange thing was that there were more prisoners than soldiers. This army was the army led by Liu Bei, and some of the soldiers changed into the clothes of Cao's army, while the rest of the soldiers were disguised as prisoners.

"See the lord!" In the military tent, Liu Bei was sitting on the main seat. The civil and military are divided into left and right.

"Strategist? Everything is arranged? Liu Bei was full of joy when he saw Zhuge Liang. Some time ago, he was still overwhelmed by Xiahoudun's vanguard army, and now he actually jumped out of Cao Cao's encirclement, and the 100,000 Cao army was still stupidly trying to besiege himself in Xinye.

"Back to the lord, things have been arranged, as long as we act according to the plan, after half a month, we will definitely be able to arrive in Hebei, and then the lord will be able to re-establish the foundation." Zhuge Liang is also high-spirited, he didn't expect that going north would be so smooth, the area around Luoyang in front is actually a vacuum area of Cao's army, as long as he crosses Luoyang is the bank of the Yellow River, crossing the Yellow River, you can reach Hebei.

"Strategist, we are dressed up like this, can we really attack Mengjin Port?" Guan Yu looked at Zhuge Liang suspiciously, since Zhuge Liang rescued Chen Dao, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's attitudes have changed a lot, at least there is no way for the two of them to rescue Chen Dao, Zhuge Liang designed to rescue him, which shows that Zhuge Liang's strategy is indeed powerful.

"General Guan rest assured, since Liang decided to assist the lord, he began to plan to go north, today's Luoyang is no longer the Luoyang of the past, just a deserted city, there are not many defenders of Mengjin Port, with our troops, we will definitely be able to break through Mengjin Port and cross the Yellow River." Zhuge Liang smiled confidently, his plan had been brewing for a long time.

Today's Luoyang is no longer the capital of the Han Dynasty, but a depressed city. Since Dong Zhuo's chaos and the burning of Luoyang, Luoyang is no longer prosperous, and now Luoyang is only left with some broken walls, and the remaining residents are just 10,000 households. The garrison around it was also very empty.

Although Cao Cao issued an edict at the beginning of the year to rebuild Luoyang City, the people from all over the country were unwilling to come to Luoyang to build it, and Cao Cao only sent the traitors and enemy troops captured from all over the country to Luoyang as coolies to rebuild the city.

Zhuge Liang also planned to turn Liu Bei's soldiers into captured soldiers, pass through the defense area of Luoyang, and go straight to Mengjin Port.

"Yes!" Guan Yu saw that Zhuge Liang was so confident, so he naturally didn't ask much, after all, Zhuge Liang's performance since he came out of the mountain did make Guan Yu respectful, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong still have two brushes.

"Cangshu, tell me, what disease is the horse of our army? What is the reason? If you can't tell it, don't blame me. As soon as he returned to the military tent, Lu Rui dragged Cao Chong in front of him and questioned Cao Chong, Cao Chong was not allowed to mess around with military and political affairs.

"Hey, Brother Rui, this is a book in your house, why are you asking about me? Well, let me tell you about it. Subsequently, Cao Chong told Lu Rui his thoughts.

It turns out that there is a kind of horse mosquito in the records of ancient books, this horse mosquito is a kind of mosquito, in the southern region of Jingzhou, the most like to bite the body of horses, often cause these horses diarrhea and limb weakness.

The first records were discovered by Zhao Tuo in the late Qin Dynasty when he was defending against the southward Qin army, and this horse mosquito could quickly lose the cavalry's combat power in a short period of time. Later, after Zhao Tuo became the king of Nanyue, he often used this method to deal with the Han army that went south, and finally, a doctor found a way to treat this horse mosquito, which was to pick an antidiarrheal grass in the south of Jingzhou to cure it.

"Brother Chong, you said that our horses were bitten by horse mosquitoes and developed this disease?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, could it really be a swarm of mosquitoes that made the horses lose their combat power?

"Brother Rui, this is what you said in the book in your house, if you don't believe it, you can send someone back to Xudu to check it, as for the antidiarrheal grass in the south of Jingzhou, I have some on me, these are all given to me by the doctor in your house, just to prevent me from disobeying the water and soil in the south." Cao Chong rolled his eyes, as if to tell Lu Rui, Brother Rui, these are all things in your house, and you still ask about me?

"Really? Where are those antidiarrheal herbs? Lu Rui saw Cao Chong's appearance, of course he knew what Cao Chong was thinking, Lu Rui's house had a lot of books, in addition to the ones copied in the Cao family and the major families, the rest of the majority were books obtained by Lu Rui sending Cao Jin to rob the tomb.

Lu Rui doesn't like to read much on weekdays, but Cao Chong goes to Lu Rui's house to read books all day long, and this record should be found in ancient books.

"It's in the burden of my military tent, Brother Rui, you can send someone to try it, boil the antidiarrheal herb into a decoction, and give it to the horses, according to the book, after seven days, the horses will regain their strength."

"Okay, Zihuan, you and Cangshu go to see if the antidiarrheal grass is useful!"

"No!" Cao Pi arched his hand and took Cao Chong to get the antidiarrheal grass.

Soon, the results of the antidiarrheal herbs came out. After feeding the horses, the excretion of the horses was stopped, and it seemed that after seven days, the horses that had eaten the antidiarrheal herbs would regain their strength.

Cao Pi took Cao Chong back to restore his life, Lu Rui hurriedly went to ask Cao Ang for instructions, and sent people to the south of Jingzhou to purchase antidiarrheal herbs, after all, 20,000 war horses, the herbs needed are a lot. After listening to Lu Rui's explanation, Cao Ang immediately sent someone to inform the generals stationed in Jiangdong to go to the south of Jingzhou to purchase herbs through Dongyue.

"Terrible opponent!" At night, Lu Rui was alone in the military tent, thinking about the strategy set up by Zhuge Liang of Bowangpo.

In folklore and romance, Zhuge Liang is a military advisor who is similar to a demon with many wisdoms. In the past, Lu Rui didn't think so, according to the records of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang was an internal political and military advisor, and Liu Bei's success was mostly based on the conspiracy of Pang Tong and Fa Zheng. The legendary Zhuge Liang is just a romance.

Now, Zhuge Liang's performance has given Lu Rui a new view, maybe Zhuge Liang is the first person in the internal affairs of the three countries, but his strategy is not bad, and Zhuge Liang's myth-like legends may also have a realistic basis.

Ancient Biochemical Warfare? Maybe Zhuge Liang can't call the wind and rain, but Zhuge Liang's talent may really be the first in the Three Kingdoms, especially some practical knowledge. Judging from this battle, Zhuge Liang's strategy may have really been underestimated by himself.

Zhuge Kongming? A formidable opponent! (To be continued......)
