"Why do you want to chain the ships together?" After another five days, Cao Ren couldn't hold back anymore, because Cai Mao's behavior had already made her angry.

Cao Cao sent a letter saying that the enemy might attack with fire, so he ordered them not to connect the ships. At the same time, they were told to be careful of Zhou Yu's tricks to make them kill each other, and to clear the camp to avoid being hurt by the fire attack......

Cao Ren actually wanted to complain at the time, it was not the first time she led the troops, could she use it in such detail? As a result, look at the Jingzhou Legion, what good things have been done?!

The separation zone has not been done well, and now the soldiers under her command are not allowed to approach the barracks, the key is that in the past two days, they have also begun to connect the warships with iron cables, saying that the ships are more stable and the soldiers are better to control.

"A group of well-trained sailors, where do you need to use this method?" Cao Ren scolded directly. first got lost in Dongting Lake, resulting in having to set up a formation on the Wulin side. Later, there were all kinds of mavericks, how do you feel that the enemy did not intend to attack with fire, but as a result, he kept inciting the other party to attack with fire?

"Commander Cao, General Cai, please enter the account." Zhang Yun walked out slowly, his face was not very good-looking.

"What the hell is going on?" Cao Ren felt that something was strange about things, so he couldn't help but ask.

"There are some things that can't be hidden...... It's also for your own good that you don't let you come to our side. Zhang Yun sighed, and then led the way in front, "It was about more than ten days, and a few soldiers in the camp were uncomfortable, and they just thought it was because they were not adapted. Who knows that the situation will get worse and worse later, and more and more soldiers will be uncomfortable......"

followed Zhang Yun in, just when he saw the soldiers inside, he knew that what Zhang Yun said was true. Most of them looked panicked, for fear that they would be infected with the epidemic. Far away, some of the tents were isolated and separated, and the people who came inside were all infected soldiers.

"You're here......" came to the side of the handsome tent, and Cai Mao was also lying on the marching bed at the moment. In recent days, I always vomit and diarrhea, which is very uncomfortable, and I have lost a lot of weight because of this.

"Why haven't you seen ...... for a few days," Cao Ren looked at Cai Mao in surprise.

"I don't know...... At first, I thought it was a wind chill, but who knew it was getting worse and worse. Cai Mao endured it, but then suddenly her stomach churned, and she took a basin suddenly, and spit it out with a "wow".

"The general has been vomiting and diarrhea these days, he can't eat much, and his body is getting weaker and weaker......," Zhang Yun had to explain.

"Have you seen a doctor?" Cao Ren immediately asked.

"I found it, I took medicine, but it didn't work......" Zhang Yun shook his head.

"I'm sorry......" Cai Mao said weakly, "too much...... Naval ...... Fell ill...... So ......"

"Because too many sailors were sick and unable to control the ship, we had to urgently deploy some infantry to try to do so. But they couldn't help it, they didn't have any experience in handling ships before, so we had to make this decision. Zhang Yun knew that Cai Mao was working hard, so he had to help make the words clear.

"That's it, how are we going to fight this battle?" Cao Ren was a little annoyed, it was she who advocated uniting the Jingzhou Army to attack Sun Quan's forces together. As a result, a decisive battle has not yet begun, at most a few small-scale water battles on the river in the past few days.

Although each has its own victory and defeat, it cannot determine the general trend of this battle in the end!

"But you're not worried about the other party's fire?" Cao Ren knew about the problems of the Jingzhou Legion, but she also expressed her concerns, "If you connect the ships in tandem like this, if Zhou Yu attacks with fire at that time...... I'm afraid I can't clean it up! ”

"Haha......" Cai Mao smiled, "Winter...... Where does the southeast wind come from......"

"I discussed it with the general......," Zhang Yun added, "There will be no southeast wind in winter, it will be a north wind, and if the other party attacks with fire, I am afraid that it will burn itself." ”

"There seems to be some truth in what you said...... Cao Ren didn't know how to refute it for a while.

"The main reason for inviting Commander Cao to come over this time is to explain the situation, if this epidemic spreads further, it is estimated that our Jingzhou Army may have to leave first...... If you can, it's best to have a general attack in the next few days, otherwise, it is estimated that we will be exhausted before we fight......" Zhang Yun said helplessly.

"I'll go back and talk to them......" Cao Ren sighed, then turned to leave. As far as the current situation of the Jingzhou Army is concerned, if it deteriorates, it is estimated that it will really be completely decombative. If you take 10,000 steps back, it will even implicate the Yangzhou Army......

"Southeasterly? Yes, it is estimated that in another ten days, there may be a southeast wind from time to time! When I returned to the camp, I found Gan Ning and told Cai Mao's statement, but she directly refuted it, "I used to cruise here on the Yangtze River, and in winter, it was indeed this period, and occasionally there would be southeast winds, mostly in the middle of the night. ”

"In other words, is it really possible for the other party to attack with fire?" Cao Ren was taken aback, he didn't expect Cao Cao to be far away from Xu Du, and he had already expected the possible changes here!

"Seriously, at the moment the Jingzhou army is like this, if there is really a southeast wind, if the other party still can't attack with fire, then there is no need to continue to resist, it's better to surrender directly." Gan Ning thought for a moment.

"It's just that what kind of epidemic is it, it can spread so fast, and the key medicine stone is hopeless......" Cao Ren was a little puzzled.

"Your Excellency!" At this time, the military medical officer of the barracks came out. Originally, there was no such position in the army, but since the establishment of the Dahan Medical College and the emergence of marching doctors, the position of military medical officer has appeared.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, then realized something, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be, there is an epidemic among our soldiers, right?!" ”

"The pandemic? Our army has also been in Yangzhou for a period of time, and the problem of not adapting to water and soil has long been overcome. And in winter, where is there a large-scale plague? But the problem is real, but it's a parasite problem! The military doctor replied, and then brought a jug, "General, please see!" ”

Cao Ren looked down, but saw a few undetectable insects in the jug, wriggling there.

"It's ...... Parasite? Cao Ren also knew some about this, but she was surprised how these bugs came from and why the military doctor would bring them.

"Today, a medical officer from the Jingzhou Legion secretly came to me for treatment, saying that he had the plague. However, as a result of my diagnosis, he was not sick, but his body was weakening, but his abdomen began to bulge slightly, and there was a sound of water, so I tried to give him sumacy green sticky powder according to the regulations, and the result was that these insects were successfully vomited. The medical officer replied.

"The source of these parasites is unknown at the moment, but it is very likely to be related to water...... The point is, in a situation like this, it is said that the Jingzhou Legion is ......," the medical officer said slowly.

"Don't tell me that the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who are infected with the plague are actually parasitic diseases?" Cao Ren exclaimed.
