Chapter 1089: Epidemic Outbreak
Although Zhao Feng took away Tai Shici, Guo Jia, and Zhao Yun's subordinates, there were still more than 10,000 people from Wang Ling and Wang Chen in Youzhou, more than 8,000 people from Bao Jian, and the remnants of Gongsun Zhan.
Gongsun Chan had a miserable defeat before, and he couldn't recruit troops without authorization in Zhao Feng's territory, and he was not Zhao Feng's direct general, so Gongsun Zhan's specific strength did not need to be reported to Zhao Feng's side.
But according to Zhao Yun's estimates, Gongsun Chan has at least more than 2,000 people, and no more than 5,000 at most.
More than 2,000 people are Zhao Yun's estimated troops, and 5,000 people are the food and salary that Gongsun Zan asked Zhao Yun for.
Sending Gongsun Chan to assist Wang Chen in recovering Shanggu County was not only to test whether Gongsun Chan had a heart, but also to indirectly inquire about the specific strength of Gongsun Chan.
After all, if you want to send troops to fight, you will naturally leak a lot of clues.
In this way, there are at least 30,000 available soldiers in Youzhou.
Also, there are more than 15,000 troops in the Daijun Taishou Wang Ze.
Dai County originally belonged to the jurisdiction of Youzhou, but because of special circumstances, Youzhou was to be governed by Liu He, and Dai County was included in the jurisdiction of Merge State.
Now that Liu He is dead, Youzhou is basically occupied by Zhao Feng, and Dai County should naturally return to the jurisdiction of Youzhou.
It's just that you still need Yuan's side to issue an official document.
But at a critical time, the 15,000 troops of Daijun can also be slightly moved.
After all, Wuhuan has destroyed more than 70,000 troops, and as long as Shanggu County is recovered, it will be able to rearrange defense lines in the area of Dai County and Shanggu County to resist the invasion of Wuhuan.
In addition, Hu Chuquan was frightened by the 'immortal arts', and led 70,000 or 80,000 cavalry to Liaoxi County to fight, which was a powerful force in a short period of time.
At the very least, if the Xianbei army wants revenge, it must first fight with the Hun army in Huchuquan!
Zhao Yun bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Yun, this is the order!" ”
With that, he turned around and exited the chamber.
The army was reorganized for a day, and early the next morning, Zhao Feng left Changping with more than 14,000 troops.
Although Guo Jia was 'seriously ill', Zhao Feng was worried that the distance was too far, and the soul chain might not be able to inject soul power into Guo Jia, so he left with Guo Jia.
It only took eighteen days for Zhao Feng to cross the Yellow River with an army of more than 14,000 and arrive at Yin Chenggao, Henan.
As soon as Zhao Feng arrived in Henan Yin, he automatically became the supreme commander of Henan Yin and took over all the armies of Henan Yin.
Henan Yin's battle reports from all sides were also sent to Zhao Feng.
The reason why Zhao Feng rushed to Chenggao with a large army was also because Chenggao was now at the forefront of the battle with Cao Cao.
In addition to the county towns that were lost before, now Xingyang, Juan County, Yangwu, and Yuanwu are all lost.
Henan Yin is still under the control of Lusu County, and there are only Pingyin, Pingxian, Gucheng, Henan, Luoyang, Yanshi, Wuxian, Gongxian, and Chenggao.
Of course, there are also the six major passes to protect Luoyang!
Once Chenggao is lost, he can only retreat to the revolving gate.
Pingyin is the last retreat of Henan's Yin army, once Henan Yin can't hold it, the remaining remnants can cross the Yellow River from Pingyin and retreat to Hanoi County.
Then.
A sentry rode into the council hall and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi, Dagu Pass is urgent!" ”
After speaking, he presented the battle report in his hand with both hands.
The little colonel quickly walked in front of the sentry horseman, took the battle report with both hands, and then handed it to Zhao Feng.
After Zhao Feng opened the battle report, he carefully read it.
This is an urgent report sent by Zhang Yan, Cao Piyi led an army of 20,000 troops to the Dagu Pass.
And Otani Pass has less than 3,000 defenders!
There is no way, the three passes of Yique Pass, Dagu Pass, and Xuanyuan Pass are all under Zhang Yan's responsibility.
And after Zhang Yan's counterattack against Cao Cao last year, the total number of troops was less than 12,000.
Xuanyuan Pass is directly facing Yingchuan County, and the garrison troops that need to be deployed will naturally be too much.
Therefore, the guards who stayed at Dagu Pass were only 3,000 people.
After all, Cao Cao seems to have dispatched more than 100,000 troops, but no one can guarantee that Cao Cao will not make a large army to attack Xuanyuan Pass.
After reading the battle report, Zhao Feng knew that the 15,000 army led by Dian Wei should not have attacked Xincheng yet, but it had already arrived at Lu Hun in Hongnong County, and maybe he had divided his troops to strengthen the garrison of Lu Hun Pass.
That's why Cao Pi chose to lead an army of 20,000 to attack Dagu Pass, stay behind with more than 10,000 troops, and sit in Xincheng to ensure that the retreat route would not be blocked by Dian Wei.
It can also be seen from this that Dian Wei is indeed not good at leading troops alone.
Otherwise, Dian Wei should have led an army of 15,000 to contain Cao Pi's army of more than 30,000 in Xincheng.
Zhao Feng hasn't figured out a way to deal with it yet.
Another sentry rode into the conference hall and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi, Tian Beijia asked his subordinates to send an eight-hundred-mile urgent report to Xuzhou!" ”
After speaking, he handed over the paperwork in his hand with both hands.
Xiao Xiao quickly walked to the front of the sentry horse, took the emergency report with both hands, and then handed it to Zhao Feng.
After Zhao Feng opened the emergency report, he read it carefully.
After reading it, Zhao Feng was stunned.
The content of the emergency report is that from Wu County, there was an inexplicable outbreak of a large-scale epidemic, and now the epidemic has spread to Xuzhou.
There is also gossip that Yuan Shu's hundreds of thousands of troops attacking Wu County all died under the epidemic.
Ji Ling's department was also infected with the epidemic, and the loss of troops was not small, but Ji Ling didn't have the heart to continue to occupy Xiapi County now, and he had already led his troops back to help Shouchun.
Zhang He, Wen Chou, Pang Tong and others, in order to ensure that the army would not be infected with the epidemic, have now led their troops to withdraw to Dong'an to garrison.
Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers also led an army of about 50,000 and evacuated Xuzhou.
It is equivalent to because of an epidemic, the war in the southeast is completely over.
Among them, Yuan Shu suffered the most losses!
The first thought in Zhao Feng's mind should be that there is an outbreak of an epidemic virus like 'flu' over there.
After all, in this day and age, normal colds can kill people.
If there is an outbreak of the flu, it will indeed evolve into what it is now.
And as the outbreak continues, too many people are dying, because now that summer is approaching, the epidemic will turn into a plague!
Zhao Feng temporarily put aside the affairs of Dagu Pass and began to think about how to deal with the impending plague.
After pondering for a long time: "Go back and tell Hua Tuo that he will take all the students of the medical school to Xuzhou to deal with the epidemic." ”
"In addition, Zhang He, Wen Chou and others were ordered not to let the plague break out in Xuzhou."
"If Yuan Shu needs help with this, we will help unconditionally!"
The sentry knight bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
With that, he turned around and exited the chamber.
In the early years, Zhao Feng had taken measures to prevent the epidemic, Zhang He, Wen Chou and others, now there are no corresponding medicines, so they can only stay away from the epidemic temporarily, but with the help of medical school students, there is an inflow of a large number of medicines.
Zhang He, Wen Chou and others should be able to prevent the outbreak of the plague.
Otherwise, if the disaster continues, more Han Chinese will die!
