The reason is that the plague suddenly broke out in the army and spread very fast.

When Cao Cao found out, it was already too late.

Most of the sergeants were basically infected with this plague, vomiting, diarrhea, high fever, and pain.

If you go to war in this state, it is basically the same as sending yourself to death.

Soldiers who have been infected, let alone fighting, have problems standing up with weapons.

Such a vicious disease made Cao Cao frown all day long.

"Wenhe, Zhongde, how's it going?"

Seeing Jia Xu and Idiom who had just rushed over from the barracks, Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.

Cheng Yu's face was extremely ugly at this time, and he said under his throat:

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the situation is still not optimistic."

"Although all the medical officers have gone to battle and tried their best to treat them, it has not been effective."

"The plague is still spreading, I'm afraid..."

Having said that, Cheng Yu didn't continue talking.

Everyone knew in their hearts what would happen if the plague continued to expand like this.

Forget about Nanzheng!

"What is the disease, has it been found out?"

Cao Cao sighed and continued to ask.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said:

"Report to the Prime Minister, this disease should be malaria, but it is not exactly the same."

"I'm afraid it should be a unique disease in the south. It is precisely because of this that the medical officers are helpless."

malaria?

Hearing these two words, even Cao Cao couldn't help but gasp.

With malaria alone, it is basically confirmed that there is no way to fight Jiangdong.

What's more, this is not ordinary malaria, but a disease that doctors can't do anything about!

None of them can be cured, and morale will be seriously affected.

Even soldiers who are not infected with the disease probably have no fighting spirit at all!

"Prime Minister, rumors spread from somewhere in the army."

"It is said that this disease is the curse of the Yangtze River, and we should not attack Jiangdong."

"To do so is to offend the gods."

Cheng Yu pursed his lips, but said it anyway.

"absurd!"

Cao Cao slapped the table heavily, and said in a deep voice:

"Spreading rumors is forbidden in the military."

"Start to investigate immediately, find the rumor spreader, behead!"

"Here!"

Seeing this, Cheng Yu hurriedly took orders and hurried out of the camp.

Jia Xu also frowned at this time, a little helpless.

In fact, not only that, but also a little fear in my heart.

The disease spreads very quickly.

If it cannot be stopped in time, I am afraid that everyone will be infected with this disease.

A serious illness swept across, not to mention a war, it was not even a question of whether his life could be saved.

"Can't one of them be cured?"

"Aren't these medical officers worthless?"

Cao Cao only felt a little pain in his head and rubbed his temples.

Jia Xu said slowly:

"Some soldiers with mild symptoms were cured, but with little effect, and those with slightly more serious symptoms could not be cured at all."

After all, Jia Xu seemed to want to say something more, but she held back.

At this time, Jia Xu already had the intention of retreating.

However, this kind of words can only be said by Cao Cao, and no counselor can persuade him.

The battle with Jiangdong has been planned for so long, but now it has retreated without a fight due to a plague.

If this kind of thing gets out, I'm afraid it will make others laugh out loud.

Of course, this is only secondary.

The main reason is that it will still bring psychological shadow to the armed forces.

If you want to fight Jiangdong again in the future, the morale of the soldiers will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, once Jiangdong and Liu Bei are given a chance to breathe, there is no telling what will happen afterwards.

Jingzhou is unstable, and if Jiangdong cannot be dealt with in time, Liu Bei will definitely attack Jingzhou.

At that time, if you want to capture Jiangdong again, it will be far from as simple as it is now.

This is the best opportunity, once you miss it, you don't know when the next time will be.

What's more, Cao Cao was very old at this time, and no one knew how long Cao Cao's life span would be.

The great cause is unfinished, and sooner or later this matter will become a heart problem for Cao Cao.

If anyone dares to talk about the retreat at this time, I am afraid they will be punished for the crime of spreading rumors.

At this time, Cao Cao was also tangled in his heart.

Cao Cao was very clear about these things.

But there is no better way right now.

"Go out and see where the rumor spreader is with Zhong De."

"You must keep your mind steady!"

Cao Cao waved his hands and continued rubbing his forehead.

"Here!"

Jia Xu felt relieved and left in a hurry.

But now everyone knows that the important thing is not to deal with the rumor spreaders, but the malaria.

Once malaria is cured, any rumors will be self-defeating.

At this moment, Cao Cao seemed to have suddenly remembered something, sat up straight suddenly, and said in a deep voice:

"Come here! Take my brocade box!"

Hearing the words, the guards beside him hurriedly gave orders.

Tips!

The kit left by Bai Chuan before he left!

Cao Cao vaguely remembered that the only difference between these three kits was the characters on the top.

On the first kit, there is a word "disease" written on it.

sick, sick...

At that time Cao Cao was still puzzled, but Bai Chuan repeatedly told him not to open the kit until a certain time.

Since then, he has been training the navy, and Cao Cao forgets about it.

Thinking about it now, could it be that Bai Chuan had expected malaria a long time ago?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help being a little shocked.

However, Cao Cao knew in his heart that this was just his own thoughts.

If Bai Chuan really had the ability to predict the future, how could he not know that Liu Bei would steal his horse?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao shook his head and smiled wryly.

It seems that I have been under too much pressure recently.

Unexpectedly, a malaria plague actually made me start thinking wildly.

"Prime Minister Qi, the brocade box you asked for is here."

At this moment, the guards who had been called out by Cao Cao rushed over eagerly.

Just as he opened the curtain, there was a humming sound from outside.

This is the sound of the wailing of the sick soldiers.

Feeling helpless, Cao Cao could only quietly look at the box in front of him.

Cao Cao slowly opened the brocade box.

The three kits with "sickness", "decline" and "ugliness" lying quietly in the distance.

Cao Cao slowly opened the kit with "disease" written on it, and spread out the note inside.

After seeing the content on the note, Cao Cao was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, his eyes lit up.

This reaction caused the surrounding guards to panic.

In the past few days, I feel that something is wrong with the prime minister, what is going on now?

"Quick! Call me Cheng Yu and Jia Xu!"

Cao Cao slapped the table, excitedly looking at the note in his hand.

Although the guards were a little confused, they still hurriedly took orders.

On the top of this note, the word "Cure the Epidemic" is impressively written!

Chapter 70 Cure Malaria?Bai Chuan's method!

"Since the establishment of our army, there has never been a plague of this scale."

"Is it true, as the rumors say, this is God's punishment?"

Cheng Yu looked at the soldiers who were suffering in every possible way, and couldn't help sighing quietly.

Jia Xu waved his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Master Cheng, don't talk nonsense."

"If it is heard by someone with a heart, it will definitely disturb the morale of the army with this excuse!"

Hearing Jia Xu's persuasion, Cheng Yu was helpless:

"Mr. Hua Tuo is here?"

Jia Xu nodded:

"It arrived yesterday."

"If Mr. Hua Tuo hadn't come here, I'm afraid no one can be cured so far."

"But Mr. Hua Tuo is just one person after all."

"If you want to cure all of these, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as reaching the sky."

At this time, both of them stopped thinking about attacking Jiangdong.
