Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 131: The old trick is repeated! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friends 2024…2257～)

After listening to Xun Yu's words, many mysteries gradually became clear.

From this perspective, many things become reasonable!

Why did the bodies they threw into the city have no effect? ​​Why didn't Sun Ce send troops to support Runan...

If it was the master behind Liu Bei who gave the instructions... then it wouldn't be surprising.

Cao Cao frowned slightly.

This was the first time he had felt such a strong sense of powerlessness since he started the rebellion!
How could someone calculate everything so accurately?

Is it really possible to tell fortunes, or is there some other reason?
After pondering for a long time, Cao Cao suddenly clenched his fists, his eyes were like a hawk, and the resentment in his heart turned into a trace of anger:
"This general just doesn't believe that this man can really calculate everything in detail!"

Cao Cao immediately ordered:

"Since throwing the corpse once is not enough, let's throw it again!
“Many of the soldiers who were infected by the corpses before must have died, right?

"Kill all those who are still alive and throw them all into the enemy city!
"If it doesn't work this time, just attack the city!"

Xun Yu's face changed, and he quickly advised:

"My lord, you must not do that! If we abuse the bodies of our soldiers, it will have a serious impact on the morale of our army!"

Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu coldly:
"Then they will be promised huge profits, so that they will be willing to be killed and their bodies thrown into the ground.

"Secure the news from the army, and secretly dump all their bodies into the city tonight!

“The last time the bodies were dumped was during the day, giving the enemy a chance to react.

"This time, the body was dumped late at night. There is a high probability that they will not be able to react in time!"

Seeing that Xun Yu was about to say something, Cao Cao interrupted him forcefully:
"Zhongde will handle this matter. Anyone who objects will be executed immediately!"

Xun Yu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Cheng Yu, on the other hand, looked excited and immediately took the order and left.

Looking at Cao Cao with his back to him, Xun Yu could only sigh and retreat helplessly.

……

In Yundu City.

Dong Xi looked at the enemy camp in the distance, his expression as solemn as ever.

Now three days have passed, and some people in the city have developed symptoms of coughing and fever.

But they were all sent to separate wooden houses for isolation as soon as possible, and very few people's conditions worsened.

With the help of Zhang Zhongjing, a large-scale plague finally avoided breaking out in the city.

The only person we need to worry about is the military advisor Kuai Liang.

His situation is not good.

From the initial cough to the subsequent fever and difficulty breathing...

If Zhang Zhongjing hadn't kept prescribing medicine for him to drink, he would probably have been a cold corpse by now.

I hope General Sun Ce can bring the herbs back soon, otherwise Kuai Liang might not be able to hold out for a few days...

At this moment, the muscular Ling Cao hurried over, clasped his fists towards Dong Xi and said:
"General Dong, Mr. Kuai asked me to deliver a message to you.

“It is said that in recent days, the plague in the city has not achieved the effect the enemy expected.

"The enemy is likely to take action in the near future, so we must strengthen our nighttime defenses."

Hearing this, Dong Xian was quite touched.

I didn't expect that even though the other party was so sick, he was still considering the city's defense.

Dong Xi nodded solemnly:

"Don't worry, I will increase my vigilance!"

That night.

Dong Xi ordered the patrolling soldiers to rest in batches, and he and Ling Cao took turns to take turns on duty.

In the second half of the night, Ling Cao couldn't help yawning.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a series of long whistling sounds in the air, accompanied by the sound of machine expansion vibration!
Ling Cao was very familiar with this voice.

Since following Sun Ce, he often led the charge, and the sound of the catapult was particularly familiar to him! At this moment, the sound of the catapult was heard, which must be the enemy's attack!

"It's an enemy attack! Enemy attack! Sound the alarm quickly!" Ling Cao shouted to his men.

The sound of gongs and drums soon spread throughout the city wall!

Dong Xi was suddenly awakened from his sleep, rushed out of the barracks immediately, climbed up to the city wall to help Ling Cao command the soldiers.

However, soon, when a corpse tied with stones fell on the city wall, Dong Xi and Ling Cao's faces changed drastically at the same time!

Familiar means, familiar scenes!
There is no need to guess that these corpses are infected with the plague!

And seeing that these corpses were wearing soldiers' uniforms, there was no doubt that they were enemy soldiers infected with the plague!

His grandma’s!

The Cao army is so vicious that they even use the corpses of soldiers as weapons...

Dong Xi cursed in his heart and immediately said to Ling Cao:

"Go to the city and ask Dr. Zhongjing to direct the soldiers to prevent the epidemic. I will monitor from the city wall!
“Since the enemy is using the same old trick again, I believe they will not attack the city at this time.

"We must find the source of all the plagues that have entered the city!"

"As ordered!"

Ling Cao responded and immediately went downstairs to find Zhang Zhongjing.

With the experience of dealing with the situation last time, everyone gradually calmed down after the initial panic.

Zhang Zhongjing immediately began to command the soldiers to find the bodies thrown into the city.

Compared with the last corpse, this one is much fresher.

Fresh corpses are often not very contagious and are much easier to handle than those that are highly decomposed.

But the difficulty was that it was dark and many bodies fell into the city and could not be found.

Over time, it will also become a huge hidden danger!
Moreover, after the last consumption, many of the anti-epidemic medicines he brought were almost used up.

If this incident is not handled properly, more people will be affected!
Last time, in addition to Kuai Liang, dozens of people also showed symptoms.

There were even a few people who died because of their poor physical condition and lack of adequate medication...

Zhang Zhongjing could only ask Ling Cao to lead the soldiers to carefully check each area.

He went to the determined location where the bodies were found and personally directed the soldiers to move the bodies.

Fortunately, there were only dozens of corpses thrown in this time, which was much less than last time.

Finally, with the joint efforts of Zhang Zhongjing and the soldiers in the city, all the corpses were finally gathered together.

Zhang Zhongjing followed the same method again and chose one of the four corners of the city according to the wind direction.

Use the same method as last time to burn the body and let the ashes fly out of the city.

After doing all this, Zhang Zhongjing and others finally sat down on the cold ground exhausted.

Although it was already morning, the sky was still dark.

Zhang Zhongjing forced himself to stand up and used kudzu vines to boil water for the soldiers to bathe in order to eliminate the hidden dangers on their bodies...

Cao Jun's camp.

Cao Cao looked at the thick smoke rising from Yundu City with an extremely gloomy expression.

No wonder the bodies thrown in before didn’t work.

It seems that just as Xun Yu guessed, Zhang Zhongjing is in the city right now!

As expected of an expert in treating plague, Cheng Yu’s vicious plan was easily foiled by the other party.

It seems that this time's corpse dumping will most likely not work...

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and suddenly ordered people to blow the horn of attack!

At this moment, the enemy had just dealt with the corpses in the city and must be extremely tired.

If we launch an attack at this time, it will definitely achieve the best effect!
