Since Chaisang escaped, Cao Wudu was lying in his clothes, and the sword was at the head of the bed.

Hearing the shout, he immediately rolled over and got out of bed, taking his saber in his hand.

"Last time it was Gan Ning's night attack, who is it this time?"

He leaned against the window with his sword in hand, and sure enough, he heard the sound of a bow and arrows.

Xiao Qiao wanted to ask about the situation, but in the moonlight, Cao Wu made a silent gesture towards her.

Xiao Qiao immediately shut up, clutching the quilt at a loss.

Cao Wu gestured for her to wait there, and made a small crack in the window.

He saw some soldiers outside, walking around with torches, and at every door, he let the people inside come out, and the villagers were taken out of their homes, and if they did not come out, they were thrown into the courtyard by a fire.

Cao Wu roughly estimated that there should be twenty or thirty soldiers outside, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he has not studied martial arts, after all, he has really been on the battlefield, and he can cut people when he lifts a sword, and he can wait for a few soldiers, there are little red horses, and there are iron pipe guns, but there is no need to be afraid.

It's just that I wonder in my heart, who are these people? If it is really the Jiangdong Army, is it that the Jiangdong Army is already short of people and must go to the village to catch strong men?

He returned to the bedside and said to Xiao Qiao: "Maybe it's Jiang Dongjun, you follow me first, don't tell your identity." If it's Jiang Dongjun, I'll communicate with them again to see if I can find Zhou Yu and Da Qiao. ”

Only then did Xiao Qiao calm down, covering his mouth, and nodding like a chick pecking rice.

Cao Wu took the little red horse and sat in front of the horse, Xiao Qiao sat behind him, hesitated, and grabbed Cao Wu's waist.

Cao Wule turned the little red horse and ran to Hua Tuo's residence next door, but Hua Tuo was no longer there, so he simply ran straight to the place where the villagers were escorted.

……

At the gate of the village, where everyone besieged Hua Tuo today, most of the people in the whole village were pressed here.

The villagers dared not speak out in anger and lined up according to the instructions.

Yang Laosan was in the crowd, and he kept looking back at his room, not knowing if his wife and children were hiding.

A leader with a whip was shouting at them: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are not here to kill! Someone in Lijia Village has an epidemic and needs everyone's help to transport the corpse, everyone don't have to be afraid, after transporting the corpse, they will naturally come back! ”

An old man asked in a trembling manner: "If this is the case, we old bones will just go, and I hope that the soldier will release the women and children!" ”

He was answered with a "snap" of the whip, and the leader struck him hard.

"Everybody has to go, military orders!"

The leader said coldly.

The villagers immediately became in an uproar, and everyone had been popularized by the divine doctors, knowing that if they came into contact with the corpse of the epidemic, there was a great possibility of contracting the epidemic, and they dared to go.

The leader drew his sword and pointed at the sky clearly: "If you don't want to die, just shut up and be obedient!" ”

Su Lao was supported by the villagers, but he trembled and stopped the villagers from moving.

Seeing that the villagers were no longer squeaking, he sneered: "That's right, give you a way to live, don't know what to do!" ”

As he was talking, suddenly a child cried in the village, and the leader said, "There are still people inside, get out!" ”

Seeing that the soldiers were about to catch their children, Yang Laosan was in a hurry, hurriedly rushed forward, hugged the leader's horse, and cried: "That's my newborn child, let him go!" ”

The leader impatiently swung his sword and slashed straight at Yang Laosan's neck.

The villagers were shocked, the old man sat down on the ground in fright, and the woman closed her eyes in fright.

However, the situation they imagined would not have happened.

Suddenly, a bolt of red lightning pierced through obliquely, slamming directly into the leader.

Hearing a loud "bang", the leader was knocked out of the air, drawing a parabola in the air, and slammed to the ground, life and death unknown.

Quiet, at that moment, whether it was the surrounding soldiers or the villagers, they all quieted down and watched this scene with their mouths wide open.

The leader who flaunted his might was gone?

Even the whip and sword don't know where to fly!

And the one who caused all this was the man from before!

He said that he followed Huang Taishou to fight, and it turned out that he was really brave and had excellent martial arts!

The villagers suddenly felt that they had come to a savior, and they were in a commotion.

Cao Wu shouted: "What are you waiting for, kill these soldiers!" ”

The villagers woke up from a dream, and the men came out of the crowd one after another and approached Cao Wu.

There are more than 30 soldiers in this group, and the soldiers have weapons in their hands, but the villagers do not, and they are still yellow and thin, and their strength is obviously not comparable.

But when the leader died, they were like lions without a head, and they did not know what to do.

Someone said: "We are more than the villagers, and we have made meritorious service by killing them!" ”

So the soldiers prepared to form a formation.

"No chance!"

Cao Wuwu took the lead, and stepped directly into the soldiers.

The scene suddenly changed to a cavalry fighting dozens of infantry, and there was still no infantry.

Cao Wu raised his sword and fell, slashing several people, and the remaining soldiers did not have the heart to form a formation, and immediately retreated.

"Catch it alive!"

Cao Wu shouted while directing the villagers to arrest people.

This battle ended in a very short time, and a group of unarmed villagers actually grabbed a dozen soldiers, tied them up, and put them at the entrance of the village.

Yang Laosan was covered in blood, and knelt down to Cao Wu and said, "Thank you Engong for saving us!" ”

Su Lao also trembled and said, "Our whole village is grateful to Engong!" ”

The villagers also hula and knelt down, Cao Wu didn't say much, but Xiao Qiao behind him was in a fluctuating mood. On the one hand, she was frightened by the bloody scene, and on the other hand, Cao Wuren broke dozens of people, which really shocked her.

Thinking that the person who had just eaten with her was almost in danger because of the coercion of these soldiers, her heart was pounding.

Cao Wu is used to seeing this situation. The war is not endless, and these villagers in the cracks of the battle sites are really worse than grass mustard, and they will die with a stroke of a sickle.

He picked up the old man and went to interrogate the deserters himself.

Unexpectedly, the deserters were so hard-mouthed, they only said that they were Jiangdong's soldiers, and asked them which Jiangdong generals were under them, but they couldn't say it.

"What do they want to do when they ask the villagers to carry the bodies?"

Hua Tuo's voice sounded, his body was covered with thatch, and he looked a little funny.

Cao Wuchai must have hidden in the thatch, so he escaped a catastrophe, it seems that Hua Tuo walked in the troubled times, wandering between life and death, and had already developed an alertness.

"Old Divine Doctor, take a step to speak."

He pulled Hua Tuo aside and sighed, "If I'm not mistaken, the bodies of these people who died of the epidemic are going to be transported to Prime Minister Cao Cao's army." ”

"What!"

Hua Tuo's eyes widened.

Cao Wu calmly analyzed: "Although I didn't guess where these soldiers were, it is not difficult to guess their purpose. They did not dare to transport the corpses themselves, but they rushed the villagers to transport them, and when the time came, they forced the villagers to get on the boat and sail against the current. All you need to do is throw the villagers and corpses into Cao's camp, and the epidemic will spread throughout the million-strong army! ”

After listening to Cao Wu's analysis, Hua Tuo's beard was shaking, he was not one of these uninformed villagers, he had already heard that Cao Cao had raised millions of soldiers, and the target was Jiangxia.

Now Jiangxia is barren, the population density is very low, and the destructive power caused by the epidemic is not strong, but if someone really spreads the epidemic to Cao Cao's army......

In this case, Hua Tuo shuddered just thinking about it.

Hua Tuo is not a virgin, the sword has no eyes, the two armies are fighting, with real swords and real guns, and no one can be blamed if he dies.

However, the spread of the epidemic is a means outside the battlefield, and it really breaks through the bottom line of human ethics.

"Not the son of man! Hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands! How dare you! ”

Hua Tuo slammed his cane on the ground, and the blow rang out.

"I hope not...... However, this village is still dozens of miles away from Xiakou, and there should be other villages in between. If nothing else, maybe the first wave of corpses has already been shipped out! ”

……

Late at night, on the Yangtze River, outside the military camp of the pioneer Xiahou Yuan, the sentry on duty suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a boat approaching on the river, and hurriedly warned him.

Xiahou Yuan was quickly woken up, and he immediately rushed to the Chinese army with his cloak to sleep, but soon received a new message from the sentry, it turned out that there were only three small boats coming, which looked a bit like the villagers' ferries, not war ships.

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly took someone to see it, but before he got closer, he smelled a smell of decay.
