Text Chapter 57 Acting Strength
"What? Infectious diseases, what is it, and is it bad? When Zhang Miao heard this, he couldn't help but become nervous. If this disease is really serious, it is not just a question of whether they can participate in the battle, but whether it will bring disaster to Chen Liu.
"This, I don't know about this, I'm too timid to look at it." Zhang Chao said with an ambiguous look.
To say that this is not such a shameful thing, in ancient times, the plague was like a poisonous snake and beast, in the absence of effective means of treatment, often as soon as the disease appeared, it was a piece of dead people, and the living would be afraid, it was really a long-term love of people.
"Ahh Zhang Miao was also stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.
However, Cao Apu, who was on the side, thought of an idea after rolling his eyes twice, and asked, "Zhiyuan, are those people all locked up together?" ”
"yes, they're all locked up in one compound." Zhang Chao nodded and replied.
"Well, in that case, we can find a ladder and stand on a high place and take a look, after all, if it is really a plague, it must be dealt with early." Cao Cao looked worried about the country and the people. As if he was really worried that this illness would bring something bad to Chen Liu, but in fact, he was just suspicious, and he didn't believe that what Zhang Chao said was true.
Why did they get sick collectively as soon as they said that they were going to fight, is it too much of a coincidence?
"Ahh That way, the windward won't be infected. Zhang Chao said with a look of wanting to shirk.
"No, no, if the wind can also be contagious, Chen Liucheng is already a dead city now." Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a very understanding look.
Having said that, Zhang Chao really couldn't say anything, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, that's it, I have to trouble my brother to prepare a few more ladders." ”
In this way, there was a very rare scene on the street of Chen Liucheng. There was no war, but there were indeed soldiers in the city carrying three long ladders walking on the street, and behind them were Taishou Zhang Miao, Cao Cao and Zhang Chao and others.
A group of people walked through the streets and alleys and came to the outside of the Zhang family's compound.
When I came here, I found that the courtyard gate was closed, and there was no figure on the entire street, giving people a sense of gloomy calmness.
"This is it, I have trained a total of two thousand sergeants, but I heard that nearly half of them have died in the past few days, alas." When he said this, Zhang Chao shook his head very sadly, showing the sadness in his heart.
"It's so serious." Hearing this, Zhang Miao was really a little scared, and couldn't help but feel like retreating. It was Cao Cao, who said with great confidence, "It doesn't matter, it's coming, there will be no problem if you look at it from a distance." ”
After speaking, Cao Cao said to the sergeant behind him: "Go, set up the ladder." ”
Three long ladders were erected above the courtyard wall under the sergeant's force, so that if you climbed up, you could see what was happening there without entering the courtyard.
After the sergeant was secured, Cao Cao was the first to climb up. Don't look at his height, his legs and feet are still quite flexible, and he climbed several grids in a few clicks, and then he didn't forget to turn back to Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao and say, "Come on, let's go together!" ”
After Zhang Miao was called, he also climbed up. Only Zhang Chao seemed to be reluctant and a little scared and reluctantly climbed up.
All three of them climbed to the top of the ladder and came to the top of the courtyard wall, where they could get a clear picture of what was happening in the courtyard.
At this moment, I really don't know if I don't know, I was shocked when I saw it, the whole courtyard was filled with a feeling of lifelessness, and as soon as I entered the sky, a bloody breath also came to my nose, making the three people who had experienced the battlefield couldn't help frowning.
There were no soldiers in the courtyard training. Some are just scenes of falling to the ground in twos and threes.
You will also see people rolling on the ground in pain. The most obvious of them was a young man in armor, who looked like a steward, and he was patrolling there with a sword in one hand, and blood was dripping from the ground under the long sword he was holding.
"What's going on?" Seeing the man with the sword, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao were confused.
"Who can't stand it, a word, as a brother, I will give him a good time." As if answering the question in Cao Cao and Zhang Miao's minds, the sword-wielding man said as he walked.
The sound was not very loud, just enough for the three people standing on the ladder to hear clearly. It also makes them fully understand what this person does.
"General, general, I can't stand the pain anymore, give me a good time." Just as the man with the sword walked to his side, the soldier on the ground suddenly rolled over and stood up with force, hugged the thigh in front of him, and pleaded.
"Okay, I'll give you a good time." As the man with the sword spoke, he slashed through the sword, and immediately blood splattered, and a large patch of crimson blood began to flow outward from his chest.
Seeing that they killed someone like this, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao both sighed in their hearts, "This disease is too painful and cruel." ”
"And me, General, I can't stand the pain anymore, kill me." The other soldier who was still seated also slowly got up on his knees, looking like he was going to die or live.
"I promise you. Rest assured, I'll give you relief, and I'll solve it myself in a while. As he spoke, he brushed his sword a few more times, and then several of the soldiers surrounding him were one of them with blood coming out of his body, and then one by one he fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao were dumbfounded. Only then did they know that the situation was far more serious than what Zhang Chao said.
It was only Zhang Chao, who looked at these expressions and did not change. But there is indeed a cheer in my heart, "These brothers really have an element of acting, and they must give a lot of rewards when they go back." ”
Cao Cao took the initiative to climb down the ladder, and then he was silent. Until Zhang Miao said, "Don't let Zhang Chao join the coalition." He nodded in agreement.
Father-in-law and his wife are both on Dong Zhuo's territory, and the sergeants under his command have been infected with an extremely severe plague, looking at this situation, I am afraid that few people can live, and in such a situation, it is difficult for others to contribute, isn't it difficult for strong people? Even if I go, I'm afraid it won't make any difference.
Zhang Miao and Cao Cao left. Zhang Chao also looked sad and walked towards the second son's mansion. The next thing is that the elder brother and Cao Apu are discussing the matter of sending troops, and he can rest for a while.
After everyone left, some members of the Sky Eye made a code message to the compound to disarm the alarm, and immediately the soldiers who were originally listless and even fell to the ground and died all got up.
If Cao Cao hadn't left, but had seen this scene, he would have wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.
After everyone got up, in a room in the courtyard, Guo Jia, Lu Su, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Zhang Rui and others walked out one after another.
As soon as a few people appeared, they looked at all this in front of them with a smile, and then Tai Shi Ci said first: "The lord is amazing, and I don't know how to think of such a method, you see, these plasma made of chicken blood are so much like the real thing." ”
"Hahaha." As soon as Tai Shici said this, it immediately attracted the continuous laughter of everyone.
All this was naturally arranged by Zhang Chao. He knew that he couldn't hide the training of soldiers from everyone, what if Cao Cao wanted to see it? In order to prevent the real situation from being spied on by others, he thought of such an idea, and now it seems that he has successfully deceived the other party, and there is no need to participate in the joint discussion of Dong.
Of course, this is not that Zhang Chao is afraid of war, but that he has more important things to do, and if this thing is done well, it will be equivalent to ten years or even longer of struggle, which will play a vital role in his future development.
Cao Cao saw the "real" situation in the compound, that is, he no longer had any illusions about Zhang Chao, and after returning to the Taishou Mansion, he discussed with Zhang Miao, and after ten days, the two of them each raised 5,000 troops and went straight to the place where the allies were.
Of the 5,000 soldiers, most of them were recruited by Zhang Chao for Zhang Miao, but even if everyone wanted to use soldiers, he would not be stingy, so he took seventy percent of the soldiers from Shoucheng and supplied them to his brother. At the same time, Zhang Rui and 100 children of the Zhang family army were also sent to follow their brother and protect their brother's safety at all times.
Soon after Zhang Miao and Cao Cao left, a piece of paper to discuss Dong Weiwen was spread in the world for a while, heroes and heroes, princes from all walks of life, and people with lofty ideals responded one after another, and soon a powerful alliance for Dong was established, with a total of 17 people, called 17 towns.
The first town, the later general Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu.
The second town, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu.
The third town, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kongling.
The fourth town, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai.
The fifth town, Hanoi County Taishou Wang Kuang.
In the sixth town, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao.
The seventh town, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao.
The eighth town, Shanyang is too guarded by Yuan.
The ninth town, Jibei Xiang Baoxin.
The tenth town, Beihai Taishou Kongrong.
The eleventh town, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian.
The twelfth town, Xiliang is too shou Ma Teng.
The thirteenth town, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan.
The fourteenth town, the party is too guarded by Zhang Yang.
The fifteenth town, Wucheng Hou Changsha is too guarded by Sun Jian.
The sixteenth town, Hou Bohai of Qi Township, guarded Yuan Shao.
plus Cao Cao's headquarters soldiers and horses.
A total of 17 princes.
Among them, Yuan Shao called himself the general of the chariot cavalry and was recommended as the leader of the alliance. Yuan Shu was in charge of grain and grass, and the army was huge, advancing all the way to the Tiger Prison.
Zhang Chao, who did not participate in this coalition, immediately recruited three scholars and three martial arts in his hands after his brother Zhang Miao and the so-called Fenwu general Cao Cao Cao left Chen Liu.
