Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Hearing this, everyone saluted and left one after another. Xu Huang walked last, and wanted to say something, but Cao Cao had already closed his eyes halfway, and could only turn around and leave.

As the footsteps gradually receded, Cao Cao opened his eyes slightly, worried on his face. Although Xu Huang's army was wiped out, although he didn't say much, he was very angry in his heart. If it was an ordinary general, he would have been charged with a felony and his head would have fallen.

Now that the situation in Guandu is changing, Xu Huang can't move, otherwise the rear will be unstable, which may cause internal and external troubles.

The battle situation is rotten, and the army is suspected of being plagued by rampant plague. The best way is to stop the troops temporarily, but it is hard to gather so many soldiers and horses. This sudden strike will cause huge intangible losses.

Furthermore, even if he retreated by himself, whether Li Huiyi would retreat was another matter. If he followed and attacked all the way, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Alas!" Cao Cao sighed helplessly. This situation is equivalent to a knife resting on his neck, and there is only one way to go to the end.

Since he couldn't change it, he could only let him go. Cao Cao put away his messy thoughts and slowly fell asleep.

A few days later, Cao Cao's army pushed into Yuanwu and Yangwu. Seeing that Li Jun was well-prepared, he knew that no surprise attack could be obtained, so he had to set up camp and not attack for the time being.

At this time, Yuanwu Li Jun's Dazhai, Chen Gong's tent, was surrounded by a group of people, all of them had expressions of anxiety on their faces, obviously something big had happened.

The military doctor who was taking his pulse put down Chen Gong's arm, put it in the quilt, stood up gently and said: "I'll wait until I go out, Mr. Chen needs to rest."

Hearing this, everyone followed the military doctor and left. Chen Gong suddenly coughed up blood and fell into a coma today, causing Li Jun's Dazhai to fall into chaos for a while.

Something happened to the commander-in-chief, if it gets out, it will damage the morale of the army at least, and it will be a big defeat at worst. For Li Jun who has just gained the advantage, they don't want to see that.

A group of people came outside the tent, and the military doctor said solemnly, "Your Excellency Chen is no longer alone in the army. Today, more than a dozen people who were infected with wind and cold have the same symptoms. It seems that their condition has worsened."

"I have heard Dean Zhang say that contagious cold is a small plague. If it gets worse, it will turn into a big plague that cannibalize people."

"Ok?"

"what?"

……

General Li Jun couldn't believe this news for a while. This plague is a fatal thing, not to mention that it is still in the midst of a war.

Nearly 10 people gathered together, and if it erupted, it would be a devastating blow.

If Zhang Xi, who was more stable, asked: "Is there any basis for this statement, if you talk nonsense, you can't bear the responsibility."

The military doctor replied: "I have had this idea in my mind for a long time, but I didn't dare to confirm it before. Today, Mr. Chen's condition worsened, so I dared to say it."

What the military doctor said proved that he was already half sure that the cold was a plague, otherwise he wouldn't have said it.

No one wants to mention the terrible word plague, because it means death.

Tai Shici was shocked, and quickly asked: "Then according to what the military doctor said, what should I do now?"

The military doctor replied: "General Taishi, don't panic. I have moved the serious patients to the first battalion separately, and the mild patients have also been recorded. You generals only need to gather them together, and they should be able to temporarily control the spread of the plague."

"Yes." Tai Shici nodded and said, "Okay, hurry up and send the order, and do it according to the method of a military doctor."

Chen Gong fell ill and fell into a coma. The most prestigious person in the army was none other than Tai Shici, so it was only natural that he temporarily took over the power.

"Wait a minute." Seeing that the military doctor was about to leave, Zhang Yun hurriedly said: "If we keep this isolation, the army may become fearful, so we should think of countermeasures to avoid chaos."

"Yes." The military doctor agreed: "General Zhang is right. This matter must not be spread, otherwise I am afraid that the soldiers will not cooperate."

Tai Shici thought for a while and said, "Then how about concentrated treatment?"

Zhang He nodded and said, "Okay, this method is good, let's do it like this."

Hearing this, the military doctor rushed to prepare. Tai Shici was not at ease, and personally ordered the whole army to cooperate with the military doctor for treatment, and obeyed the dispatch unconditionally.

The military doctor left, and a group of people were outside the tent. You looked at him, and he looked at you. They didn't know what to do for a while.

At this moment, a sound of hurried footsteps approached quickly. "Report! Cao Cao's army has entered Ma Chao Dazhai."

"what?"

"what?"

……

Hearing this news, everyone was stunned for a moment. Misfortunes never come singly. The affairs of Chen Gong and the army have not been settled properly. Cao Cao has come with a large army. What should we do?

Just when everyone was undecided, a weak voice suddenly came from inside the tent. "Are all the generals outside the account, come in quickly."

Hearing this voice, everyone was overjoyed, they hurriedly opened the curtain and entered, seeing that Chen Gong was half sitting up, they all went forward to greet him.

Chapter 651 Chen Gong is seriously ill

"Master Chen, how do you feel?"

"Master Chen, are you alright?"

……

Looking at the cordial and anxious faces of everyone, Chen Gong waved his hands helplessly and said, "It's okay, it's nothing serious, I surprised you, what happened during this coma?"

Seeing Chen Gong's question, everyone didn't know whether to say it or not. After all, Chen Gong had just woken up. If he heard the bad news and his condition worsened, it would make the situation worse.

Seeing the hesitant expressions on everyone's faces, Chen Gong frowned, and said weakly: "Speak, Gong is mentally prepared."

Hearing this, Tai Shici clasped his fists and said, "Master Chen, just now the military doctor said that the current cold in our army is caused by the plague."

"Plague?" Chen Gong's pale face suddenly turned morbidly rosy, and he couldn't help coughing. "Cough cough cough..."

Seeing that Chen Gong started coughing again, the people in the tent showed worry on their faces, watching carefully, for fear that he would suddenly faint again.

"Phew." Chen Gong coughed for a while, took a deep breath and said, "Since it's a plague, does the military doctor have a way to deal with it?"

Tai Shici replied: "Yes, severe and light patients live separately to avoid spreading the infection. In order to avoid the panic of the army, we did not announce that they are being treated intensively."

Chen Gong narrowed his eyes, paused for a moment and said: "This law will treat the symptoms but not the root cause. After all, the paper will not be able to contain the fire. It seems that Dean Zhang is going to be invited here."

"General Tai Shici, I will send someone to fly a pigeon to deliver a letter later. The general's situation will be reported back to You Beiping, and the symptoms of the illness must be clearly indicated. It is best to let the military doctor write it himself."

Regarding this plague, Chen Gong firmly believed in it, because he was very aware of his own body, and the ordinary cold would not kill him at all, not to mention such a major event, no one would be stupid enough to talk nonsense in the army.

Tai Shici clasped his fists and said: "Yes, Master Chen, don't worry, we will definitely rush to deal with it soon. In addition, there is another news. The spies just came to report that Cao Cao and his army have entered Ma Chao Dazhai."

Chen Gong thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, Cao Cao probably won't be in a hurry to attack, just in time for Cao's new arrival and the camp was in chaos, he sent people to sneak into Cao's camp to check if there is the same epidemic as our army."

Tai Shici asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency, you mean that Cao Jun is also like our army?"

Chen Gong nodded slowly and said: "Exactly, this epidemic should be caused by the cold weather and the exhaustion of the march."

"Since our army has it, then the Cao army must also have it. If the same situation occurs, I'm afraid this battle will have to be suspended."
