After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Logistics supply was originally a problem, but because it is backed by Jingzhou, it is not a problem.

The problem lies with the soldiers in the north.

Seasickness, vomiting, fever, limb weakness, soldiers have no fighting spirit.

The military doctor could not see the problem and suspected the plague.

But the Jingzhou navy was fine.

Not to mention where the cause of the disease came from.

One by one, the army of the imperial court fell ill, and it was impossible for even a class teacher.

This means that to fight Zhou Yu, you have to rely on the Jingzhou Navy.

In other words, although I have an army of 80.

But in fact, the soldiers who can fight don't even fight half of them.

This is the fundamental reason why Cao Cao can't eat at this time.

"Prime Minister!" Cheng Yu and Xun You hurried into the big tent with the box.

"Is the envoy Liu Xun back?" Cao Cao put down his chopsticks, but was reluctant to put down his job.

Cheng Yu shook his head: "There is no news about Liu Xun, but Zhou Yu sent someone from Sanjiangkou to bring you a gift!"

"Gift?" Cao Cao frowned, his eyes fell on the square box.

Xun You said, "Maybe Zhou Yu has figured it out?"

"Open it and have a look!" Cao Cao beckoned.

Cheng Yu held the box, and Xun You untied the rope.

The moment he opened the box, Cheng Yu screamed in fright.

"Crack!" The box fell to the ground with a sound.

"What?" Cao Cao didn't turn his head to look at the two of them.

Xun You pointed to the head on the ground and said, "Yes, yes...it's Liu Xun's head!"

"What?" Cao Cao immediately threw his rice bowl on the table, got up and went to check.

After confirming that it was Liu Xun's head, Cao Cao just stood there.

Xun You shook his head: "Liu Xun is the imperial envoy, but Zhou Yu actually killed the envoy!"

Cheng Yu shook his head crazily: "Since ancient times, the two armies have fought without fighting. This is an unwritten rule!"

"Zhou Yu, how dare you kill my envoy!" Cao Cao kicked the table angrily.

"Prime Minister calm down, calm down!"

Cheng Yu and Xun You comforted Cao Cao one after another.

Annoyance is annoyance, but Cao Cao did not forget his reason.

Going to war with Zhou Yu at this moment is undoubtedly asking for trouble.

Cao Cao waved his hand: "Pass on my order, whoever can offer a plan to defeat Zhou Yu at the Sanjiangkou, will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and made a ten thousand household lord!"

"Yes!" Cheng Yu and Xun You hurriedly cupped their hands, put away Liu Xun's head and hurriedly exited the big tent.

Cao Cao paced back and forth in the big tent, finally helped the table up, put away the half bowl of rice on the ground and continued to eat.

After eating, he still felt unsatisfied, so after thinking about it, he took Xu Chu to the supply camp to look for Liu Xian.

Intuition told Cao Cao that at this time, Liu Xian must not have slept and must be eating.

As soon as he entered the military tent, the meaty aroma of the hot pot wafted over.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, pointing at Liu Xian and said, "I knew it, you have delicious food!"

"The prime minister understands me!" Liu Xian hurriedly got up and added a pair of bowls and chopsticks to Cao Cao himself.

Lao Huang poured wine for Cao Cao, and Cao Pi picked meat for his father.

Cao Cao ate meat while drinking, and soon he was sweating profusely, sweeping away the haze in his heart.

After eating and drinking, Cao Cao lay down on Liu Xian's rocking chair again.

Lao Huang and Xiao Cao ran over to beat Cao Cao's legs.

Liu Xian tilted his head and glanced at Xu Chu, who said softly, "Prime Minister has something on his mind!"

Liu Xian nodded slightly, and immediately stood behind Cao Cao, offering to squeeze his shoulders.

"This strength is not bad!" Cao Cao showed an expression of enjoyment on his face.

Liu Xian said: "I heard that the prime minister has something on his mind?"

"Hey!" Cao Cao sighed: "There are a lot of military affairs, trivial matters are irritating, and I don't tire of them. Only this supply camp makes me feel a little bit at ease!"

Liu Xian said: "The prime minister is absurd, this is what we should do!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lao Huang repeatedly nodded.

"That's right, that's right!" Cao Pi also echoed.

Cao Cao waved his hand and stretched out his hand to signal Liu Xian to pull up the stool and sit beside him.

Liu Xian nodded, pulled the stool and sat beside Cao Cao.

"Ziyu, do you know what happened when Liu Xun went to Sanjiangkou?"

Liu Xian frowned: "Wouldn't Zhou Yu really kill him?"

Cao Cao nodded: "As you expected, he was killed by Zhou Yu. I heard that Cheng Pu also went to Sanjiangkou to report on his work. The interior of Jiangdong is monolithic!"

Cao Pi was puzzled: "Why did Zhou Yu do this if the two armies did not fight each other?"

"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded, turned to look at Liu Xian: "Why did Zhou Yu do that?"

Liu Xian smiled wryly: "Killing the envoy shows Sun Quan's loyalty, and Sun Quan then borrowed the envoy's head to send Cheng Pu who was sick at home. The old Cheng Pu was ashamed, so he went to Sanjiangkou to report on his work!"

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "My Cao Cao's envoy has made great contributions to Jiangdong instead!"

Liu Xian said bluntly: "Although Jiangdong has achieved internal unity, he has lost morality. This is the time of defeat!"

Cao Cao laughed: "Zhou Yu stole Sanjiangkou from me and killed my envoy. People in the world are not ashamed. If I send troops to attack Sanjiangkou, it will be justified!"

"Yes!" Liu Xian nodded heavily.

Cao Cao shook his head: "But there is a problem inside the camp, and the soldiers can't get out!"

Liu Xian smiled: "The prime minister said that there were soldiers in the barracks who fell ill?"

"Exactly!" Cao Cao nodded, "Every day tens of thousands of northern soldiers fall ill, and the military divisions deal with the plague, but the Jingzhou navy is safe and sound!"

Liu Xian shook his head: "This is definitely not a plague!"

"How do you know that?" Cao Cao sat up straight after hearing this.

Liu Xian said: "Soldiers in the Northland are not familiar with water warfare, and they faint when they get on the boat. This is one of them!"

"Well, that's right!" Cao Cao nodded.

Liu Xian continued: "The south is humid, and the soldiers in the north will find it difficult to adapt to the basic necessities of life in a short period of time. With these two conditions, they will naturally fall ill!"

"Sir, what you said makes sense!" Cao Cao nodded, and asked again: "Then, can you do something?"

"Yes!" Liu Xian said.

"Please teach me, sir!" Cao Cao's eyes flashed with light.

"Haha!" Liu Xian laughed: "This disease is acclimatization!"

"Unacclimatized?" Cao Cao felt very unfamiliar with this word.

But Liu Xian is not unfamiliar at all.

In this era, the flow of people is very small, and large-scale migration can only be war.

But marching and fighting has always been difficult, and four people are common. In addition, the medical conditions are not developed enough, so I don't understand what acclimatization is.

"That's right!" Liu Xian nodded: "The Prime Minister can order someone to fly a letter back to Xudu, and order Xun Lingjun to send someone to send the thick soil outside Xudu City to Jiangxia City!"

"What's the use of soil?" Cao Cao was puzzled.

Liu Xian continued: "Boil the soil of Xudu into water and distribute it to the sergeants to take it every day, and the medicine will be cured within half a month!"

"Soil can cure diseases?" Cao Cao was shocked.

Liu Xian said: "The prime minister can give it a try!"

Cao Cao shook his head: "It's not difficult to transport the soil for half a month, but Zhou Yu killed the envoy, and our army didn't move at all. It's hard to convince the army!"

Liu Xian smiled: "It's impossible, the prime minister can order someone to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender again!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao was shocked: "At this time, does anyone dare to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender?"

Liu Xian smiled: "Jiang Gan, this man is full of courage, he must dare to go!"

Cao Cao smiled: "Sir, are you serious?"

Chapter 158

Liu Xian said solemnly: "There is no lie, Jiang Qian and Zhou Yu are classmates, and the relationship between the two is not very close, but Zhou Yu will definitely never kill him!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Okay, I will act according to Mr.'s plan!"

After all, Cao Cao got up and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, Prime Minister!" Liu Xian hurriedly stopped Cao Cao.

Cao Cao turned around: "Sir, do you have anything to say?"

"Prime Minister wait a moment!" Liu Xian immediately took out his pen and ink, wrote a note and stuffed it into the kit.

Cao Cao took the kit and was about to open it.

Liu Xian grabbed Cao Cao's arm: "Prime Minister, don't take it apart at this time, we'll see it when Jiang Gan returns!"

"Okay!" Cao Cao nodded, "I'll listen to you sir!"

Liu Xian said again: "Prime Minister, don't forget, or you will make a big mistake!"

"Remember it!" Cao Cao nodded and left the supply camp immediately.

After returning to the Chinese army, Cao Cao's first order was to send people to fly pigeons to send letters back to Xudu, ordering Xun Yu to dig soil from outside Xudu city and send it to Jiangxia. The more the better, the better.

A few days later, Xun Yu received a letter from Feige from Jingzhou.

Don't make any doubts, send someone to do it immediately, just give the people below a word, the sooner the better.

Of course, this is something.

On this night, Cao Cao also summoned Jiang Gan.

"Meet the prime minister!" Jiang Gan gestured with his fists in his hands, his face was full of joy.

Cao Cao smiled: "Zi Yi, do you know why I called you here?"

Jiang Gan also laughed: "The Prime Minister must be angry because Zhou Yu killed the envoy!"

"Exactly!" Cao Cao nodded.

Jiang Gan said bluntly: "Prime Minister, based on my understanding of Zhou Gongjin, he did this only to reassure Sun Quan. At this time, send someone to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, and this matter will be accomplished!"

Cao Cao smiled, pretending to be casual and asked: "Once the envoy is killed, who else would dare to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender?"

Jiang Gandao: "Prime Minister, whoever dares to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender at this time must have a deep friendship with Zhou Yu, be full of courage, and be a loyal minister among the loyal ministers around you!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao smiled, and fixed his eyes on Jiang Gan: "In this way, this job must belong to you, General Ziyi!"

Jiang Gan smiled and cupped his hands: "I am not talented, and I am willing to go for the prime minister to facilitate this matter!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Okay, I'm going to do it for the wine!"

"No need!" Jiang Gan waved his hand: "The prime minister just needs to give me a light boat, and I'll take a bookboy to go!"

"That's all?" Cao Cao was shocked.

"That's all!" Jiang Gan nodded to confirm.
