The first thing, Xichuan Liu Zhang set up two lines of soldiers and horses, one way to Hanzhong, the other way around and went straight to Xiliang, Hanzhong, Xiliang two ways of soldiers and horses, just said hello to Cao Cao, and rushed back to the rescue, Cao Cao's army suddenly lost 150,000 people.

If the impact of this incident on Cao Cao is not too great, another thing made Cao Cao have a headache, the officers and soldiers in the army do not know what disease they are suffering from, vomiting, diarrhea, high fever, trembling legs when walking, and what is even worse is that the disease is still contagious to each other, there is a flood of posture, the soldiers are sluggish, weak, and have no strength to even hold weapons.

Tracing back to the source, Cao Cao finally focused his suspicions on those Jiangdong poultry, because since eating these poultry, he began to have this symptom one after another.

Wuyou Dao Chang noticed Cao Cao's doubts, and immediately scared to pee, how could he slap himself, and quickly explained that when those poultry were robbed, they were very healthy, and after cooking, the meat was also very delicious, the taste was excellent, and it was not sick at all, unlike it should not be and would not be the source of the disease.

Cao Cao nodded, feeling that what the Taoist said made sense, but where did these epidemics come from? No one can answer, it is still important to save people first, and this matter can be investigated slowly in the future.

Wu You Dao Chang also has some ability, and immediately prescribed a prescription, first gave it to a few generals with more serious symptoms, it can't be said that the medicine can cure the disease, but it can also alleviate some symptoms, Cao Cao is quite satisfied.

But new problems followed, at this time, the weather was freezing cold, and it was very difficult to find a doctor and ask for medicine, not to mention that this is still an army of hundreds of thousands, where to raise so many medicinal materials?

"Lord, we must attack Jiangdong with all our might, otherwise in the long run, our soldiers will lose their combat power, and if Sun and Liu jointly attack, they will be defeated!" Xun Yu hurriedly built yì road.

"I didn't want to put my soldiers at risk, but now it seems that I can only do it quickly." Cao Cao nodded.

Cao Cao immediately ordered to go down, while collecting medicinal materials to treat the sick soldiers, and on the other hand, he ordered Yu Ban to lead 200,000 elite sailors, preparing to attack Jiangdong with all his strength, and at the expense of the soldiers, he also wanted to take Jiangdong quickly.

On the south bank, Wang Baoyu and Zhuge Liang have been very busy these days, and Cao Bing will inevitably attack in a big way, there is no doubt about this, and they are still ready for the next step.

Wang Baoyu mentioned the fire attack several times, but Zhuge Liang still got into his heart in the end, which can not only reduce the frontal conflict, but also cause a wide range of extremely strong lethality, which is worth a try. After some hard thinking, Zhuge Liang came up with a bold idea, which was to use Kong Ming lanterns to attack Cao Jun.

Kong Ming lanterns are only used to transmit signals, and the higher they fly, how can they be used as weapons? Of course, in order to make improvements, you have to float very far, and you have to fall and burn in the designated place.

The idea is good, but it is difficult to implement. Every time it is difficult to think of her relatives, this kung fu, Wang Baoyu really misses her sister Huang Yueying, if she is here, I am afraid that this kind of thing is a piece of cake, she can drum it out in one night, and she still stares at her eyes at this time.

No one is perfect, Zhuge Liang's plan is still successful, and his hands-on ability is much worse, so this important task has to be placed on Wang Baoyu. Wang Baoyu was also very worried, there was no one to discuss, fortunately, he was quite good in junior high school physics, he made some calculations with great effort, and conducted several experiments, and finally changed the Kong Ming lantern to resemble a hot air balloon, but the volume was really not able to be exquisite, and it was several times larger than before.

Zhou Yu personally realized it, and felt very satisfied, even if it couldn't succeed, it could disrupt Cao Bing's plan.

Zhou Yu also raised a key question, that is, it is winter, and the wind is coming from the northwest, how can the Kong Ming lantern drift over to the wind? If you don't do it, you may burn down your own camp, wouldn't it be miserable and miserable?

"If the Metropolitan Governor wants the southeast wind, Kong Ming can borrow it from the Wind God." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"This ......" Zhou Yu glanced at Zhuge Liang, the expression on his face was very complicated, surprised, suspicious and a little sour, and said: "If this can be done, Cao Cao's army will be defeated, and there is no doubt about it!" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor can build a high platform on Nanping Mountain, called Qixingtai, and Liang will go to do it and ask for the help of the wind god." Zhuge Liang said.

"A qiē Baoyu deputy governor can arrange it!" Zhou Yu said.

"On the twentieth day of this month, the southeast wind blows, and the governor of the capital can attract the Cao soldiers on that day, then everything is ready, and the Cao soldiers can be broken." Zhuge Liang said.

"Then the Oolong Dao Master will come again, and I will lead Cao Bing out at that time." Zhou Yu said.

The war was stalemate, and with the precedent of borrowing arrows from grass boats, Zhou Yu decided to take a gamble, and while arranging for the soldiers to make this kind of offensive Kong Ming lantern according to the drawings, the more the better, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to prepare as soon as possible, prepare more strategic materials, and conduct the final decisive battle with the Cao army.

Wang Baoyu and Zhuge Liang returned to the boat all the way, Wang Baoyu asked with a smile: "Sir, I didn't expect you to really have the ability to borrow the east wind, is this also written in the book?" ”

"The twentieth of this month is the winter solstice, which is in response to the hexagram of "Landmine Fu", when a yang is born, the east wind will rise in the south, this is the time of the day, and it has nothing to do with manpower." Zhuge Liang said.

"Hehe, according to that, the Seven Star Terrace was built just to fool Zhou Yu." Wang Baoyu said with a smile.

"No, you and I are far away from here, whether the southeast wind rises or not, but we can take the opportunity to return to Fankou." Zhuge Liang said.

fainted to death, Zhuge Liang never forgot to leave a way back for himself, Wang Baoyu asked puzzledly: "Don't fight anymore?" ”

"Most of Cao's soldiers are sick and can't fight for a long time, how can Cao Cao give up and return to the court? Therefore, this battle must be the last fight, no matter what the victory or defeat, we must not stay here, if defeated, Cao Bing occupies Jiangdong, we will have no place to stay; If he wins, then Zhou Yu will definitely find an excuse to get rid of you and me. Zhuge Liang said.

"That makes sense, but I think Zhou Yu has been doing well recently?" Wang Baoyu said.

"How can the side of the couch allow others to snore, Zhou Yu has long had the heart to get rid of the lord, and now we are in harmony, which is really needed to break Cao Bing, not sincerely!" Zhuge Liang broke the mechanism in one word.

Wang Baoyu didn't say anything more, beckoned his big brother Fan Jinqiang to join him, packed his things, and went to Nanping Mountain. Fan Jinqiang deeply regretted that he could not participate in the war, but he still listened to Wang Baoyu in the end and did so.

Just as the three of them wanted to leave the boat, ready to leave this place of right and wrong, there was a small boat along the river coming this way, and there was a man standing on the bow, about sixty years old, so thin that he was called a pitiful, skinny, with deep-set eyes, swaying from side to side with the river wind, as if relying on a kind of perseverance, he could stand still in the wind.
