-- The book continues --

At night, in front of the longboard bridge, the river is rolling, Zhang Fei led the cavalry to stop in front of the bridge, looked at the woods on both sides, Zhang Fei waved his hand to the cavalry behind him, the horse's tail was tied with a branch and leaf on the ground, as the cavalry ran back and forth in the forest, the smoke and dust rolled, the sound of hooves did not stop, Zhang Fei immediately stood at the head of the bridge, looking at the end of the road.

Not long after, a Cao Qi appeared in his eyes, Cao Chun narrowed his eyes, after Zhang Fei broke off?

In the forest on both sides of the bridge, the smoke and dust were billowing out, the figures were shaking, and there was the endless sound of horses' hooves. ”

The war horse under Cao Jun unconsciously retreated, Cao Chun was also frightened by the roar of this life, he waited for a while, the sound of horses' hooves in the woods was endless, hooking the corners of his mouth, and with a wave of the long knife, the shouting of killing broke the quiet night.

"Big brother, in the next life, Taoyuan will talk again!" Zhang Fei greeted Cao Jun who rushed towards him and grinned.

Although Zhang Fei's brave and silent corpse was surrounded by a sword, and the countless wounds on Zhang Fei's body made him almost a bloody man, Zhang Fei once again grasped his spear and swung it towards the bridge behind him.

Cao Chun's eyes shrank and shouted, "Stop him!" ”

A log on the bridge was also smashed, and at the same time, countless spears pierced Zhang Fei's chest from behind, and the battle finally fell.

"Cut Zhang Fei's head into minced meat and send it to Liu Bei" Cao Chun ordered to the tiger and leopard: "Cut down trees and build bridges, cross the river as soon as possible!" ”

Zhang Fei was turned directly into minced meat, just like the pork he used to be a butcher.

Because Yuan Shao didn't think about history, he retreated to Yecheng, there was no ambush plan on all sides, and Zhang Fei was not killed by Zhang Dafan Jiang after Guan Yu's death.

The dew is white from tonight, and the moon is the hometown of Ming.

There are brothers who are scattered, and there is no home to ask about life and death.

The drums cut off the pedestrians, and the sound of geese on the autumn side.

Cao Cao watched Yin Lihua finish reading "Remembering Brother on a Moonlit Night", and it was an incomplete poem, which made Cao Cao depressed to death.

On the other side, Zhao Yun caught up with Liu Bei, Liu Bei learned that his wife was no longer there, when Liu Bei took over the infant child, his hands trembled a little, holding the child in his arms, Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said: "For you, I almost lost my love!" ”

Just when Liu Bei threw his son Liu Chan to Zhao Yun, someone came to report that Zhang Fei was chopped into minced meat by Cao Chun, Liu Bei and Zhao Yun were stunned for a moment, Liu Chan had no one to catch him, Liu Chan was killed by Liu Bei in this way, Liu Bei fainted with a scream, Guan Yu was silent, there was no sadness or indignation in his expression, he just calmly walked behind Liu Bei who was sitting by the river.

Zhuge Liang sighed and ordered a few scouts to explore the surrounding area, until it was late, and the scouts reported that a white-clothed general wearing a veil and a tie army attacked.

Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned when he heard the two words of the veil, Liu Bei was staggered and helped onto the boat by Guan Yu, when Liu Bei left, he let Zhao Yun stay behind to guard, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun sat on it and docked on the riverside with a small boat and waited.

Liu Bei led his army to withdraw at the ferry, and met Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, in Jiangxia, and after Zhuge Liang returned, Liu Bei also met with the people who came with the ship, and he said that his name was Lu Su and that he was from Jiangdong.

"Zhuge Kongming."

"Lu Su, Lu Zijing."

"Mr. Zhuge has relatives in Jiangdong?"

"Zhuge Ziyu is my brother! Bright row two, for the middle! ”

"I see!"

According to statistics, the population of Huaxia in the heyday of the Eastern Han Dynasty was more than 56 million, but the population was less than 8 million at the lowest point. So that time can indeed be said to be the largest population extinction in the history of Huaxia.

On the second day, Liu Bei's fleet did not go to Cangwu County, but turned along the Yangtze River to Jiangdong, where Cao Cao entered Jingzhou under the command of Cai Mao and Zhang Yunlai, and the next target was Jiangdong.

Cao Cao wrote a letter to Sun Quan: I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to crusade against rebellion, the military flag pointed to the south, and Liu Cong surrendered. Now, I am in command of 800,000 sailors, and I want to hunt with the general in Wu Land.

Of course, these 800,000 were Cao Cao's nonsense, and all of them were 240,000, but when this letter reached Jiangdong, it really made the people in Jiangdong panic, and they were divided into two factions for a while. One faction fights, and the other faction surrenders.

A few days later, news came from Jiangdong that Liu Bei's military division Zhuge Liang fought against the Confucians, and strongly persuaded Sun Quan to fight the main battle, and Sun Quan drew his sword and said bluntly: Whoever speaks again will be like this table!

The Battle of Chibi was approaching, Jiangdong was armed, and Cao Cao also began to mobilize troops and horses to prepare to move eastward.

At this time, Liu Bei asked the whole army to wear linen and filial piety, sacrifice the dead Zhang Fei and his son Liu Chan, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu saluted Liu Bei, and then left the army deployed against the enemy.

Cao Cao entered the river the next day, thousands of warships broke through the river, the river wind howled, the river water slapped the hull of the ship, and the warship swayed to the east.

At the same time, Liu Bei and Sun Quan also integrated the army, with Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu as the left and right governors, leading 40,000 people, going up against the water to block Cao Cao's army.

When they reached the Red Cliff and met Cao Jun, they found that there seemed to be an outbreak of plague among Cao Jun.

The two armies tried each other for a few rounds, and Cao Cao suffered a dark loss, so he had to temporarily retreat and lead his troops north to fight the army.

On the north bank of the river, the troops were stationed in the Ulin area, and the army was trained and military affairs were rectified.

And Zhou Yu led the army to be stationed in Chibi on the south bank of the Yangtze River, facing Cao Jun across the river.

In the tent, Cao Cao's figure looked a little tired, and the gray hair on his temples had become more numerous these days.

More than ten years ago, there was indeed a large-scale plague outbreak in the army, and most of the soldiers were infected with diseases, and their faces were pale and they could not fight, otherwise he would not have withdrawn from the army.

Now all the sick soldiers were isolated in a military camp, and he kept the news closed, if the soldiers and horses of Jiangdong learned about it, it would definitely hinder morale.

Cao Cao's generals and advisers all arrived in the camp, and the atmosphere was dull, and many of them wore towels to cover their mouths and noses. They could all guess what Cao Cao was going to discuss today, but they couldn't help it.

Since ancient times, there are very few epidemics that can be cured, and the plague is due to some infectious diseases caused by some strongly pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses.

Yin Lihua took Lu Wen and a team of people into the sick camp, most of the people in the camp had been tortured to the point that they couldn't get up, couldn't eat, and their bodies were emaciated like skin and bones.

The fire was lit, the herbs were boiling, the smell of medicine spread through the camp, and the light smoke rose and drifted to the riverside.

After more than a month, the epidemic gradually disappeared, and they spent life and death together, but the gap between Jingzhou soldiers and horses and Cao army's soldiers and horses was eliminated a lot, but the incurable 29,705 people gave Cao Cao a headache, because these nearly 30,000 people seemed to have signs of explosion.
