The isolation measures formulated by Lin Mo do not seem to have much effect, the patients are still on the rise first, and there is a great sense of intensification, and now more than 30,000 people in the barracks have vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms, and even Gao Shun, who is as strong as an ox, has fallen ill.

For this reason, Lu Bu was very anxious, and he realized for the first time that the number of troops was not all-powerful, and sometimes the defeat was not necessarily man-made, but the way of heaven.

In an army of 400,000, more than 30,000 people who fell ill do not seem to affect the overall situation, but the problem is that the number is still growing, and once the number exceeds 100,000, the soldiers have no intention of fighting at all, and such an army will not be able to fight.

Lu Bu, who believed in my orders, even considered whether to take advantage of the epidemic not to spread, simply play a stud, mobilize elite infantry cavalry to forcibly cross the river and attack the city, on the other hand, let the navy cover the grain and grass all the way, and if the coalition army dares to come, they will fight with them.

Of course, such an idea was vetoed by Lin Mo, although the situation was precarious, but it was not to the point where it had to be broken.

You must know that once this cavalry army passes, then your naval army will only be allowed to win and not defeat, and once defeated, their food, grass, and ordnance supply lines will be cut off, which is too risky.

Such a large-scale quarantine has no effect at all, and it is likely that it is not an epidemic, but it is just a lack of adaptation, so it will lead to the failure of isolation methods.

However, at the same time, it may also be that the masks and disinfection methods in this era are too backward to control the spread of the epidemic.

Lin Mo couldn't tell what the reason was, and all he could do now was wait.

Fortunately, the sergeant who went to Jiangliu City to find Hua Tuo did not rush into the air, and the carriage traveled all the way, and finally rushed over.

In the face of this contemporary miracle doctor, Weng and his son-in-law treated them with the courtesy of a national soldier and went out of the camp for five miles to greet them.

Hua Tuo is also a real person, and he rushed to the barracks to check without eating any reception.

The first patient to see was of course Gao Shun, looking at Hua Tuo who was pressed on Gao Shun's wrist with one hand and a white beard with the other, Weng and his son-in-law were very nervous.

It's all good, but don't be an epidemic, otherwise this thing can really destroy these hundreds of thousands of troops.

After Hua Tuo called for a while, he rolled Gao Shun's eyelids again, and even went to check his vomit, and after some operation, he slowly got up, and said slowly in the nervous expressions of Lu Lin and Weng Weng's son-in-law: "It can be confirmed that it is not an epidemic disease." ”

Hearing this, the boulder hanging in Lin Mo's heart finally fell, but fortunately, it didn't matter.

Lu Bu also breathed a sigh of relief, and said respectfully: "Thank you Doctor Hua, then ask Doctor Hua to come up with a prescription quickly, the accompanying medicine is still enough." ”

As he spoke, Lu Bu also beckoned to the medical officer who was studying on the side to step forward and obey the order.

Hua Tuo quickly sat down and wrote a prescription, in fact, this prescription can also be prescribed by the medical officer, after all, it is not an incurable disease, but they didn't find out that it was the pathogen at first.

After all, there are still great differences in the performance of people in different places who are not adapted to water and soil.

Therefore, Hua Tuo just started to write the formula, and several of them were worried, and when Hua Tuo finished writing the recipe and handed it to them, they didn't dare to quit.

"What are you doing?" Lu Bu asked unhappily.

"Captain, this. Most of the medicine on this prescription is available in the military camp, but only this Fulong liver, please forgive the officials for not being able to do anything. The medic bowed his head in fear.

"Nonsense, you are a medical officer, you will go to other places to find the medicine that is not available in this barracks, and if you don't send someone to Xiling City to purchase it, it won't be that such a big city can't buy this medicine, right?"

"If you don't have Fulong liver with you, then this matter will be troublesome."

As soon as Lu Bu finished scolding, Hua Tuo sighed, looking at Lu Bu's suspicious gaze, Hua Tuo said in a deep voice: "Taiwei doesn't know, this Fulong liver is not an ordinary herb, but the soil of the hearth. ”

"Hearth soil?"

Lu Bu was stunned, "This is too easy, aren't the tens of thousands of stoves in the barracks enough?" ”

Hua Tuo shook his head slowly, "The soil of this hearth needs to be taken from the hometown, and the soldiers are experiencing such symptoms now because they can't get used to the terroir of Jingxiang, so they need the soil of their hometown to be used for medicine." ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu took a step back, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he ate: "Where can I get you the land of your hometown?" ”

Isn't that a joke?

This is hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and they are not all from the same place, there are Liangzhou, there are Central Plains, there are Northern, and so they bring the soil of their hometown from all over the country, and the daylily is cold.

Not to mention how many people will die in this time, just running out of time will not be able to do it in two months, God knows what will happen in two months?

Judging from the current rate of growth of this disease, it can spread to half of the military camp in two months.

The medical officers lowered their heads, and Hua Tuo could only sigh: "Other medicines can temporarily suppress the condition, but after all, the most effective cure is this Fulong liver." ”

"Could it be that the sky is really endless?"

Lu Bu raised his head and sighed, feeling that the way of heaven dictated that many things really couldn't be forced.

At this time, the son-in-law behind him spoke: "Lord Yue, don't panic, there is no Fulong liver in the military camp, but there is still land in my hometown, and all of it is placed at the end of the baggage camp with Xi Ash." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Bu and all the medical officers looked at Lin Mo, "Yunwen, this matter is related to the lifeblood of my three armies, so you can't joke about it." Our army cavalry comes from different states and counties, where did you conjure up so much hometown land? ”

"Lord Yue, don't worry, from Liangzhou to Xuzhou, I have prepared the soil of each state and county, and all of them are good."

Then Lin Mo looked at the medical officer, "You just have to go to the baggage camp to get it, and prescribe the right medicine according to the soldiers in different places." ”

"Whoa!"

Several people bowed their hands in unison, "Thank you Sikong!" ”

This thank you is from the bottom of my heart, after all, if they can't get this medicine in the end, they have an unshirkable responsibility as medical officers, and if it leads to the defeat of the army, then this head will not be saved.

After the medical officers ran away, Lu Bu didn't seem to react, his eyes turned several times before he muttered, "No, when did you prepare it?" ”

"Didn't you let Zhen Rong run back and forth a few days ago, and transported it with Xi ash and saltpeter."

In fact, this matter also relied on the prophetic skills to a certain extent, after all, during the Red Cliff War, many people in Cao Jun were unwell.

It's just that Lin Mo didn't dare to determine whether it was unadaptable, anyway, he was prepared to take it.

In the past, every time Lin Moxiu operated with the prophet, the old father-in-law would always be surprised that his mouth had grown long enough to put an egg.

It's different now, heroes are used to seeing ordinary people, and after seeing too much, they become numb, and they spit out a sentence after a long time: "When you are ready, you will say that you are ready, and you will not say it early, so I will worry for a long time." ”

It's not that Lin Mo is a little confused, why don't you praise me a few words.

Don't you wonder how I prepared in advance?

Don't you wonder how much force I used to get the soil of the states and counties?

That's it?

People love to listen to good words, okay, even if the ears are calloused, I don't want to listen to it, but you can't help but say it.

Lin Mo let out a breath of turbidity, that's it, forget it if the old father-in-law doesn't say it, when the matter spreads, the soldiers will definitely praise this divine prophetic skill.

"Captain, Yunwen."

Jia Xu, who hurriedly walked in, obviously had something, and when he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of Hua Tuo and stopped his mouth, "Oh, Doctor Hua is also there." ”

"It's too often a polite adult."

When Fang just went out to greet him, Jia Xu was also there, and the three princes and nine Qings all went, which gave Hua Tuo enough face

Xu saw that Jia Xu had something to say, Hua Tuo still arched his hand very interestingly: "Tai Lieutenant, Sikong, you don't have to accompany me when you are busy with military affairs, I'll go to other military camps to have a look." ”

"There's Mr. Law."

After the three of them transferred Hua Tuo out, Lin Mo asked, "What happened." ”

"Yellow shot back."

Jia Xu explained the situation in general, of course, including Huang Jie's regret that he couldn't win over Huang Zhong because of time problems, and of course, the more important thing was the problem of wanting Lu Bu and Lin Mo to deploy ambushes.

If it is really like Cao Cao said that he will bring the elite here, then there must be a strong general accompanying him, Hao Zhao and Guo Huai's people alone are of course enough to protect Xiling City, the problem is that there is no certainty of intercepting Cao Cao.

Therefore, Huang Jie hoped that the battalion would send elite generals to ambush and strive to uproot Cao Cao at one time.

Lin Mo chuckled, so, Huang Gai is dead, and he will become Huang Zhong, right?

However, on the whole, in fact, except for Huang Zhong's suitable identity, others are really not good at using bitter meat tricks.

Moreover, there is another advantage to using Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong has a certain friendship with Huang Zu, and now that Wei Yan is in the barracks again, there will be someone to help him talk when the time comes.

"So, they're ready to do it in nine days."

The old father-in-law, who had already learned all the plans, clasped his hands on his chest and said with a smug smile: "Let Huang Shoot back first, I want to transfer my elite to Xiling City, and it will be easier to get it here at that time, Cao Cao is quite good at playing." ”

Lin Mo reacted and looked at Jia Xu, who probably knew what he wanted to ask, and nodded: "The east wind will rise at night in nine days, and it will stop at noon the next day, and it will return to the northwest wind after a while." ”

That is, the east wind for half a day, and I don't know if Liangzi told Cao Cao this time that he wanted to borrow the east wind.

I think there should be, after all, he humiliated him like last time, even if it is not good, it is necessary to pull up in order to gain a firm foothold in the army.

It's just a pity, this time, Ryoko-san has to be disappointed.

No.

Maybe he won't be given a chance to be disappointed, just despair.

"How's that happening to the things you asked you to take stock of?"

"I think it's almost, after their defeat at that time, Cao Cao will definitely take the waterway upstream and want to return to Jiangling, after all, there can be access to Yizhou, and in these few days, a naval army can block the passage against the river in advance.

But it is also possible for Xiangyang City to prevent him from turning to land halfway, so it is necessary to deploy a team of soldiers and horses in Huarong Road.

As for Liu Bei, he must have fled to Changsha after the defeat, but once our sailors crossed the Baqiu area, they would be wary, and it might be more difficult to block his way.

As for Sun Ce, most of the time he followed Liu Bei all the way, after all, he had to go through the Changsha Defense Area if he wanted to return to Jiaozhou. After saying it in one breath, Jia Xu picked up the teapot on the side and poured water to moisten his throat.

In the past, Lin Mo studied all these calculations by himself, but after the research was completed, he would follow the strategists to discuss it.

Now I don't treat Jia Xu as a person, anyway, the place where I can use him is definitely to the extreme.

After a long silence, Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, but Lin Mo didn't seem to be satisfied, Jia Xu couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else to add?" ”

"You are just the route of their escape after the defeat, and the route of our army's escape after the defeat is not prepared?" Lin Mo looked at Jia Xu in some surprise.

Jia Xu put down the teacup and said with a smile: "This is natural, after the defeat of our army, there are two routes to escape to the Central Plains, the first way is to return to Xiling City, take the post road back to the Central Plains, from Xiakou to Xiling, this is the only way to go, they want to set up an ambush, they will definitely choose here;

The second road is to turn to Huarong Road on Wulin Road in the west, and go northwest along the Jiangxia border, Wulin Road and Huarong Road can be ambushed. ”

"Good!"

Lin Mo rubbed his chin with satisfaction, this is a staff officer, it's different, how comfortable, but then he said in a deep voice: "Just now you said that the escape route of their defeat includes the water route, if it is purely a land route, where will it be." ”

"By land from Baqiu, they can only flee to Changsha, and they won't run in the direction of Chibi, isn't that hitting us in our arms?" Lu Bu said as a matter of course.

When Lin Mo just wanted to explain, Jia Xu took over, "Yunwen, are you really sure about this?" To tell the truth, they used the serial boat scheme to lure Wen Yuan, and then used the yellow shot to carry out the bitter meat trick, I saw all of this, and I knew that they must want to take action in the next nine days.

At that time, we will indeed be able to carry out a counter-ambush on our possible escape route, but ah, I still haven't figured out how you can use this strategy to break through Baqiu's water village. ”

Jia Xu still didn't understand this section, at first he thought it would be a strong attack, but just now Lin Mo made it clear that he wanted to block the Baqiu Ferry, such a long water village, there are more than 20 water gates, and blocking them all is obviously not something that can be done by a strong attack.

If you break through the sky, you will come to the ferry in Xiakou to make a plan and bring in the sailors on the opposite side, that is not all the ones that can be introduced, the opposite side is not blind, the situation of the front army is not on them, and the ones behind them will not come in again, and it is impossible to give you the opportunity to catch turtles in the urn.

"Do you think it will work?" In front of Jia Xu, Lin Mo didn't want to sell Guan Zi.

After a simple mention, Jia Xu fell into deep thought, and soon his eyes lit up, and he suddenly came over, "It works, it will work!" ”

After not figuring it out, Jia Xu pinched his white beard and laughed, "Wonderful, hahaha, I really didn't expect to counteract with this." ”

"Time is pressing, let's order the soldiers to prepare for the mission." Lu Bu is very smart now, and he doesn't want to delve into what these brain-playing people are studying.

Anyway, when the time comes, you will always have to send tasks when the Chinese military tent is discussed, and you will understand when the time comes.
