Chapter 23: The Great Army Begins

Zhao Yi saw that his alarmism really scared Sun Quan, so he laughed secretly in his heart, and then reached out and stroked the fake beard under his forehead.

"General Sun, please rest assured, since you and I are allies, we should unite as one, this favor must be helped no matter what, now, please ask General Sun to let his subordinates get some warm water and bring a towel."

"Okay, come on, go get some water and get a towel at once!"

Sun Quan ordered the female soldiers outside the door to prepare hot water and towels, while he folded his hands and saluted Zhao Yi.

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Kong Ming, I thank you for saving your life on behalf of my sister."

Sun Shangxiang was lying on the bed blocked by the curtain, listening to the conversation between the two outside, although his brain was a little confused, but he was not terminally ill, he wanted to tell the second brother that he was not as serious as the thief said, and he was not poisoned.

At this moment, Zhao Yi's wrist flipped, and an antibiotic pill appeared in his palm.

"It's ......"

Sun Quan blinked, he didn't see where Zhao Yi was taken out at all, he just thought it was the other party's immortal art.

"This is an immortal medicine, it can cure all diseases, the third lady is lucky, and there is only this one on the lower body."

Zhao Yi didn't want Sun Quan to know that he could easily take out a lot of this kind of immortal medicine, although the immortal medicine was good, but if there were too many, it would not be worth much.

"Elixir? Is this the elixir? Never seen ......"

Sun Quan looked at it seriously, and in his heart, heaven and man were at war, and he really wanted to taste one for himself first, to see if it could play a role in prolonging life or immortality.

Zhao Yi seemed to see his thoughts, and said: "This thing can only cure diseases, and people who are not sick will not only not have any benefits when taking it, but will have various side effects." ”

"Oh, I see."

Sun Quan exhaled, seeming a little disappointed.

The female soldier outside the door quickly brought hot water, towels, and warm water to take pills.

"Help Miss San get up, take the immortal medicine with warm water, and rest for a while to heal."

Sun Quan hurriedly ordered the female soldiers to get into the gauze curtain to help Sun Shangxiang up, took the white pill, and watched Sun Shangxiang swallow warm water into his stomach.

"Xiang'er, how are you? How does it feel? ”

Sun Quan looked at his sister left and right curiously, while Sun Shangxiang shook his head and said, "Second brother, I'm fine, I didn't get any poison." ”

"Silly girl, you are not a doctor, and you don't know how to do immortal law, how can you know if you are poisoned? If it weren't for Mr. Kong Ming here, my brother wouldn't be able to see you in the future. ”

"Second brother, don't listen to him being alarmist, this guy ...... This guy ......."

Sun Shangxiang wanted to say that this guy was more cowardly and lighter than me, but he couldn't say the second half of the sentence for a long time, not only that, but he also made himself blush.

"The elixir has worked...... The elixir has worked! Mr. Kong Ming, my sister's cheeks are flushed at the moment! ”

Zhao Yi said with a smile: "Very good, it seems that the immortal medicine has taken effect, then General Sun, let's let the third lady fall asleep and rest as soon as possible, in this process, she is very likely to show signs of night sweats, leaving two ladies, wipe them with a cotton cloth when the third miss is sweating, pay attention to keeping warm, and the toxicity will soon dissipate." ”

"Understood, the two of you are staying by the side of the third lady and strictly implementing what Mr. Kong Ming said, do you hear?"

"Yes."

Looking at Sun Shangxiang, who fell asleep again, Sun Quan's heart finally fell to the ground.

"Mr. Kong Ming, thanks to you today, let's go, I'll let the kitchen prepare some wine and food, and you and I will dine together."

Sun Quan enthusiastically took Zhao Yi's hand and left Sun Shangxiang's boudoir and returned to the hall where the previous discussion was held.

After this incident, Sun Quan smiled a little more when he talked to Zhao Yi, and he also had a little more respect, and he could see that he was very interested in the immortal magic and immortal medicine that Zhao Yi cast, and he would lead the topic to this after a while.

As for Zhao Yi, he pretended to be profound, and when it came to his core secrets, he was just like a dragonfly touching the water, which provoked Sun Quan's heart to itch like a kitten.

After a few people had a meal together, Zhao Yi and Lu Su left together, because the army led by Zhou Yu would be ready tomorrow morning, and they still had a lot to prepare today.

"That...... Brother Kong Ming, what did you do to Miss Three? Is there really an elixir? ”

Facing Lu Su's question, Zhao Yi smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Zijing, guess." ”

"I guess? Hehehe~ I can't guess, but we are finally going to act, listen to the return of the horse in front, Jiangling City also has frequent troop and horse transfers, Cao Cao's goal seems to be the area of Wulin in Jiangbei, and our army can occupy the Chibi south of the Yangtze River, and fight to the death with Cao's army here. ”

Zhao Yi was familiar with some of the details of the Battle of Chibi, so when Lu Su talked about the visit of Zhou Yu's classmate Jiang Gan, he knew what was going to happen.

What level is Jiang Gan? He was still 108,000 miles away from playing with Mei Zhoulang, and this time he was going to abolish his martial arts when he went back, and cut off the heads of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who had just fallen from Jingzhou, which was also the beginning of Cao Cao's defeat in this battle.

But it was said that in Jiangling City at this moment, Man Chong was returning to Cao Cao with the news he had discovered.

"Prime Minister, find out clearly, this person's name is Zhao Yi, the word Hongfei, is the brother of Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, he rarely performed after following Liu Bei, and in this battle of Changbanpo, he suddenly resorted to the so-called immortal law, and even beheaded several generals of our army, in addition to this, his subordinates also found that there was another strange force that was also chasing and killing him, this force is quite mysterious."

Cao Cao leaned back on the bed, listening to Man's report with interest.

"Oh, and there's a mysterious force that wants to take his life? It's so good, it saves us effort, so can Sun Quan's little baby move? ”

Man Chong continued: "According to the report of the spies, Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang and that Zhao Yi went down the river and arrived at Chaisang in Eastern Wu, and the two sides seem to have reached an alliance and have no intention of surrendering. ”

"Hmph, Sun Zhongmou...... Does Liu Bei think that if he grasps this life-saving straw, he will be able to compete with my army? Joke! ”

Cao Cao sat up from the bed as he spoke, and said in a loud voice: "Come on, notify the generals of all departments, come and see me!" ”

Seeing that Cao Cao was going to hold a military meeting, Man Zhong retreated with interest, with his current rank, although he can be regarded as Cao Cao's henchman, he is still a lot worse than those generals.

After a while, Cao Cao's council hall was full of people, and he himself sat on the main seat, although he sat lazily, but his momentum was compelling, and he was worthy of being the actual ruler of northern China.

"I believe you also know why I summoned you here, then the Jiangdong Sun clan ignored my letter, insisted on going his own way, and united with Liu Bei with the intention of blocking the pace of our army, since they want to fight, then fight with them, pass on my military order, the army will go east from the Yangtze River, advance by water and land at the same time, take Jiangdong in one go, and capture Liu Bei!"

"Yes! Prime minister! ”

Although Cao Cao claimed to have an army of 800,000 this time, he actually had a lot of water, and in order to win a quick victory, he ordered the army to move east along the Yangtze River, and at the same time let the main army of Xiangyang go south at the same time, planning to converge at Xiakou.

Cao Cao's journey included the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun, and the army of Jingzhou with a total of 80,000 people, as well as thousands of warships of various types.

The northern land route was due to Ban, Zhang Liao, Zhang Jaw, Le Jin, Feng Kai and others, leading an army of 100,000 people.

Cao Cao also ordered the general Cao Ren to be stationed in Jiangling to deter the ill-intentioned Xiaoxiao in Jingzhou, and also to monitor Liu Zhang's movements.

At the same time that Cao Cao went east along the river, Zhou Yu also led 30,000 elite sailors to the west, and joined Liu Bei at Fankou, and the Sun and Liu families combined with a total of 50,000 people, continued to advance, and Cao Cao's navy fought a small encounter in Chibi.

Due to Zhou Yu's strategy, he killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the original generals of the Cao army, by the hands of Jiang Gan, and in desperation, Cao Cao could only let Yu Ban and Mao Jue temporarily take over the water army.

But these two people have no experience in water warfare at all, in fact, by this time, Cao Cao has vaguely felt that he has been tricked, but he doesn't want to admit it.
