Yuan Shao Barracks
The plague was spreading, many soldiers vomited up and down, and hundreds of people died in the plague every day. Before long, Yuan Zhao's army would be defeated without a fight.

Due to the continuous resurgence of weather, the food was moldy. The soldiers ate the moldy coarse grains, and they had to be wet by the heavy rain every day, and then it was troublesome to take a bath. Because the expedition was too hasty, they did not prepare enough clothes for washing, and they smelt every day. With the mosquitoes as companions, the physical condition is even more unbearable. At this moment, Yuan Zhao's army is just like the original 42 Xinmang army, which has been subjected to various negative effects.

Unclean diet and living environment will cause [cholera] in the plague in densely populated areas, but the doctors of this era do not understand the principle of cholera, they also call cholera a plague, and the way to prevent and control it is to evacuate population, improving diet and living environment.

Yuan Zhao soldiers often suffered from vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, high fever and other symptoms, and many died.

However, even with so many negative effects, Yuan Shao still refused to withdraw his troops, and he still insisted on going south to conquer Jingyang.

Of the 20 troops, 18 died from the plague alone. Of the remaining 15, 3 were infected with the plague, and only 3 were healthy. Unfamiliar with water combat, often get seasick during training.

Yuan Shao couldn't wait any longer, he couldn't wait for the soldiers to be trained to fight on the water, because if he waited any longer, his 20 troops would be wiped out by the plague.

Therefore, he decided to go south when the northwest wind blows in autumn.

Two months later
fall
With the northwest wind, Yuan Shao chose to go south in this season, so he didn't have to worry about the fire attack, because even if the Jiangdong water army attacked with fire, it would only burn themselves.

More than [-] soldiers with pale faces, vomiting, and seasickness boarded the ship. They had hallucinations before their eyes, their limbs were weak, their heads were excruciatingly painful, and their seven orifices were about to bleed from time to time.

It is in such a situation that they are about to set off!

More than [-] infected people are attacking Chibi in mighty force, which is very terrifying.

What Yuan Shao didn't know was that there was a "resurgence day" in the south, which was mainly affected by the air mass above the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, even in autumn and winter, there would occasionally be a special situation of southeast wind blowing. Under this kind of weather, Temperatures will warm up for a few days.

Although people at this time did not know why the "resurgence sky" appeared, they knew the existence of the "resurgence sky" in the south through daily observation, and roughly grasped the law of the "resurgence sky".

This is knowing what it is but not knowing what it is, and it belongs to the summary of experience.

And Zhuge Liang is a person who has mastered the law of "Resurgence Sky". He has lived in the south all year round. He often observes the local climate and sums up some climate laws.

All Yuan Zhao soldiers are packing up their things and making final preparations, and they will set off in about half a month.

at the same time
Chibi
"According to my observation, the southeast wind is about to blow. Yuan Shao and other northerners can't expect it. It's a good opportunity for fire attack!" Zhuge Liang pointed out his valuable experience.

If it was spring and summer, Yuan Shao would be on guard and worried about being attacked by fire, so even if he pretended to surrender, it would be difficult to succeed.

But in autumn, the northwest wind usually blows, so Yuan Shao would definitely not think that Jiangdong dared to attack with fire, so Yuan Shao would be more likely to be fooled if he pretended to surrender at this time.

For more than half a year, people from Jiangdong and Jingzhou have been running to Yuan Shao's camp to surrender, so Yuan Shao is used to it, and he should not be on guard against false surrenders.

This is actually very understandable. From the perspective of future generations, we may feel that the person concerned was successfully surrendered, which seems stupid.

But from the perspective of the parties concerned, you will find that it is strange that the fraudulent surrender fails.

Because in the past half a year, people have surrendered to you almost every day, hoping to be your dog. As a result, one of the ordinary days that seemed impossible for spies to actually appear in a false surrender, who would have expected it? ?

Before Huang Gai's false surrender, countless Jiangdong people like Huang Gai had surrendered. This is the key to the success of the false surrender!
It is also a false surrender, and Yuan Shao's use of this trick against Sun Quan will definitely not work, because no one from Yuan Shao's camp surrendered to Sun Quanzhen, so if someone from Yuan Shao's camp suddenly appeared to surrender to Sun Quan, Sun Quan would be very suspicious.

Because someone really surrendered, it can only succeed when there is a fake surrender.

Because someone really rushed into the empty city recklessly and was ambushed, so when the empty city appeared, the timing could be successful.

Today, an ordinary day, looks the same as yesterday.

Yesterday, everyone vomited in the plague, and today, everyone vomited in the plague.

Yesterday, we were missing our hometown, and today, we are missing our hometown.

Yesterday, someone came to surrender, today, someone came to surrender.

As before, Yuan Zhao's army didn't pay much attention to the Jiangdong people who came to surrender. After all, Jiangdong people come to surrender every day. You can't pay attention to it every day, you won't be exhausted!

But after the person who came to surrender came into the dock, suddenly!
crackle crackle crackle!

His ship suddenly began to burn, and the arrows on board were firing.

???

Why is the Jiangdong man who surrendered today a little different, what are he doing?Performance Art?
suddenly!

shhhhhh!
Many arrows were shot into the fleet of Yuan Zhao's army, and after a while, more burning ships attacked.

"Fire out!"

"Fire out!"

Cai Mao, who was training the navy, hurried to get people to put out the fire. However, the ships full of raging fire had already collided.

How did the promised surrender turn into a fire attack?
But don't be afraid, it is autumn now, and the northwest wind is blowing. It won't take long for the fire to be extinguished.

Even though they were attacked by fire, Yuan Zhao's soldiers still did not panic.

Just kidding, it's autumn now, and the wind is blowing towards your Jiangdong, what's there to be afraid of?

however……

Huhu——

The southeast wind began to blow in the resurging sky, and the fire that was about to be extinguished suddenly swept towards Yuan Zhao's fleet.

crackle crackle crackle!

"what!--"

"Run!"

"The southeast wind can still blow in autumn, hell!"

"help me!"

Suddenly, Yuan Zhao's army's fleet was in chaos, and everyone frantically fled towards the land. However, how could their two legs run faster than the speed of the flames, and it was still in such a crowded situation.

A large number of Yuan Zhao soldiers were burned to death, and some jumped into the river and were drowned alive. The Yuan Zhao soldiers who managed to escape back to the shore brought panic to the barracks. More and more Yuan Zhao soldiers who could not bear the torture of the plague began to Take the opportunity to escape from the battlefield.

"Don't run! Come back! Come back!" Seeing the 10,000+ army crumbling in the chaos, Yuan Shao ordered the supervising team to suppress it quickly, but it was of no avail, because the supervising team was also infected with the plague, and the supervising team ran faster than ordinary soldiers .

"General, our supervising team has also run away!"

"General, retreat quickly, Jiangdong soldiers have come ashore!"

"Duke Ming, we have no choice but to retreat!"

More and more generals and counselors of Yuan Zhao are trying to persuade Yuan Shao to retreat quickly, otherwise he will die here today.

"kill!"

"Whoever captures Yuan Shao alive will receive a reward of [-]!"

The Jiangdong soldiers had already killed, and even Liu Bei hurriedly took his soldiers across the river by boat to chase and kill Yuan Shao after seeing the fire burning.

Seeing the 20 troops he recruited with all the power of the whole country were defeated in the plague and fire, the 73-year-old Yuan Shao was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"If you regret not listening to He Yu's words, you will be defeated today!"

Yuan Shao regretted it, he shouldn't be in such a hurry to unify the world, now it's all over, all the accumulation of many years has been wiped out.

If you take it easy and prepare the soldiers with a change of clothes, healthy food that is not moldy, various medicinal materials to prevent diseases, and a large number of military doctors, maybe there will be no plague. , at least the scale of the plague will not be so large.

The main reason for the defeat was that he, Yuan Shao, was too impatient and hurried south without preparing anything. As a result, a plague caused his 20 army to lose nine levels of fighting power, and a fire left another 20 army. One layer of combat power was also burned out.

In fact, without the burning of Wulin, Yuan Shao would have already lost. This terrifying plague alone was enough to defeat his 20 army, and the burning of Wulin was just to defeat him in advance.

Although it is burning Wulin, because Huang Gai's burning boat departs from Chibi, it is also called "Shaoshao Chibi".
