Thinking of this, Cao Wu already regretted that he was too focused on dealing with these three envoys, but ignored the most important fake Zhang Zhao.
No matter how fickle Sun Quan becomes in the future, Zhang Zhao is still the number one civil servant in Jiangdong. The one who dares to impersonate Zhang Zhao should be the most powerful among them.
Cao Wu ran almost as fast as he could from the Chinese army's tent to the camp where Cao Cao slept.
In order to facilitate Cao Cao's promotion, the distance between the two was not far, but Cao Wu did not dare to be slower at all.
Zhou Yu and Pang Tong, what are their plans?
"Boom!"
There was thunder in the sky, and lightning, a rare sight in winter, lit up the night sky.
Cao Wu ignored him and didn't even raise his head.
He opened the tent again, and when he saw the scene inside, his heart suddenly went cold.
Blood, the tent was full of blood.
There was a man lying on the ground, who was somewhat similar to the real Zhang Zhao. He kept squirming on the ground, with several penetrating wounds on his body, and it was obvious that he would not survive.
The tiger idiot Xu Chu stepped on him with his eyes wide open.
Cheng Yu insisted on wearing his sword. This counselor who once turned human flesh into preserved meat seemed to have returned to that time, standing in front of the bed with sharp eyes.
Jia Xu and Xun You slumped on the ground, but their eyes were still sharp, staring at the assassin on the ground.
In the innermost corner, Cao Cao was leaning against the wall on the bed with his eyes closed.
Xiahou Dun squatted on the bed and stood in front of Cao Cao, staring with one eye.
Hearing the sound at the door, everyone stared at the door. When they saw that it was Cao Wu who came in, they relaxed their guard.
Cao Wu ran to the bed and jumped directly on it. After careful observation, he saw that there was no wound on Cao Cao's body. Although there was blood, it was not his. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sweat flowed down his hair. He was already sweating profusely from running and being frightened when he entered.
However, although Cao Cao was not injured, he did not open his eyes to look at him. He seemed to have fainted.
He didn't bother to wipe the sweat and asked everyone: "Brothers, how is my brother? What is going on?"
Xun You took a deep breath and explained patiently.
It turned out that today, in order to drive Jiangdong's army eastward, they set up camp in Wulin near dusk. An hour later, as soon as they set up camp, envoys from Jiangdong arrived in the dark and asked for peace.
The two armies were fighting, virtual and real. Today, the giant ship defeated the enemy. The other party responded and sent envoys over. This was a normal thing, and no one paid too much attention to it.
However, Cao Cao had been suffering from a headache since the morning. During the previous battle, he had been psyching himself up and rubbing his forehead. Now the pain was so severe that he could not get out of bed or see the envoys.
So Xun You made a decision for Cao Cao. He would hold a banquet for a day and then formally summon him tomorrow.
However, Zhang Zhao claimed that there was an extremely important matter and that he must see Cao Cao today, saying that it was a major matter that Sun Quan would explain alone.
Xun You reported the matter, and Cao Cao wondered what happened to him, so he arranged for Zhang Zhao to meet him in his camp.
Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu tried hard to persuade him, but Cao Cao insisted on showing off his strength and did not feel that he was not good enough.
So Xun You invited Xiahou Dun and explained many things to Xu Chu. He carefully searched Zhang Zhao's body and made sure that he did not have any weapons or even any threats on him before letting him in.
The three great counselors all believed that with the combined strength of Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu, no one in the world could defeat them with bare hands.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao came in and before he said a few words, he suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood on Cao Cao. Then he got angry and rushed towards Cao Cao with his bare hands.
Among the people in this room, Cheng Yu is sixty-six years old, Jia Xu is sixty-one years old, Xiahou Dun is fifty-two years old, and Xun You is fifty-one years old.
The youngest Xu Chu is already forty years old.
However, when the fake Zhang Zhao took action, these people reacted quickly. Cheng Yu, the oldest, took the lead in drawing his sword to protect him. After catching the assassin's legs, Xiahou Dun jumped onto the bed alertly and protected Cao Cao.
Xu Zhu was born with supernatural power and fought with the fake Zhang Zhao with several moves and killed him.
In the blink of an eye, within the tent, all the ministers were suddenly faced with a big change, and none of them flinched. They were all willing to replace Cao Cao with their own bodies, leaving Cao Cao unmoved and the assassins restrained.
Fortunately, Xu Chu was strong enough. Although the opponent was also a master, at best he only kicked Jia Xu and Xun You, and did not cause any harm to others.
After Xun You finished explaining the matter, Cheng Yu added some details.
Xiahou Dun said: "My lord, I'm having a headache today. He may have been a little frightened, but he should be fine."
Cao Wu's eyelids jumped wildly when he heard this. He held Cao Cao's arm tremblingly and said to everyone: "You said, he vomited a mouthful of blood on my brother first?"
The five people nodded in unison. The three counselors had already heard something was wrong from Cao Wu's tone. Cheng Yu said: "Why, is there any problem?"
"have no idea……"
Cao Wu turned around and got out of bed, tore off a piece from his own clothes, wrapped it in his hand, came to the assassin on the ground, opened his eyelids, took a look, and cut open his clothes with his own sword.
I saw that the assassin's chest was already showing signs of erosion. It was not a new injury. In many places, the flesh was black.
Cao Wu threw the skirt of his clothes on the ground, and felt his mind spinning, and he also fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
Xun You asked.
Cao Wu looked at him with dull eyes and said, "The epidemic is a disease in Jiangxia County!"
"What disease? Is it a disease that the Miaocai Pioneer Army has encountered?"
All five people stood blankly on the spot.
"Where's Ah Shi? Where's Cao Ah Shi? Let her come quickly!"
Cao Wu shouted anxiously.
Xun You then woke up from a dream, stepped out of the military tent, and asked someone to call Cao Ashi who had returned with the scribes.
Cao Wu returned to the bed, grabbed Cao Cao's arm, felt his pulse, and relaxed his chaotic mentality.
But then he remembered something and looked around.
Cao Wu was stunned as his hands dropped.
Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu all had the assassin's blood on their bodies.
Cao Wu looked up to the sky and sighed: "Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, what a ruthless plan you have!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly there was a thunderous explosion in the sky, which seemed to also tell Jiang Dongjun's viciousness.
…
"Boom!"
The same thunder exploded in the sky above Jiangdong Army.
Zhou Yu stood on the building boat, his eyes wandering.
Lu Meng, Lu Xun, and Pang Tong were not here.
Zhou Yu actually already knew what the three of them were planning.
Since Pang Tong learned about the Jiangxia epidemic, he has used several strategies.
Today's plan is not without cruelty. Even though there are countless capable people in Cao Cao's camp, who would have thought that the envoys sent by Lu Meng and Lu Xun did not carry any deadly weapons, but they could shake Cao Cao's millions of troops.
Just because they themselves are weapons.
Pang Tong got a group of soldiers infected with the disease. After speculation, he believed that with the current epidemic, normal people may not become infected if they come into contact with infected people, but normal people will definitely get sick as long as they are stained with blood.
Lu Meng hit it off with him, and the two of them looked for soldiers from the army who were eloquent and similar to Zhang Zhao and the other four. They trained for two days. As dead soldiers, they first contracted the disease on their own initiative and were then sent to the enemy camp.
Once Cao Cao's thieves are promoted to camp and all the civil and military generals are present, the four of them will commit suicide and splash their blood all over Cao Ying's civil and military generals.
This is the most vicious part of this plan. In this era, no one would deny envoys access to their tents, because this is the rule.
However, once the envoys enter, there is a chance that important figures in Cao's army will be infected, so this plan will definitely be effective.
Especially the soldier pretending to be Zhang Zhao. He was from Xuzhou and fled to Jiangdong. When Cao Jun attacked Pengcheng, his hometown was massacred and turned into white ground.
All his martial arts skills were to avenge this great revenge.
Lu Meng and the others thought they had hidden these things from Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu actually knew about them.
He has absolute prestige among the Jiangdong Army, and nothing can be hidden from his eyes.
If it had been before, he wouldn't have let the three of them do such a thing.
Fighting on the battlefield depends on one's ability, and it is not impossible to attack from outside the opponent's position, but this kind of assassination is too cruel after all. Disdainful of him.
But the battle during the day changed his mind.
Those three five-toothed ships are like his human arsenal that cannot cross domains. He has already concluded that the opponent's weakness is slow to turn around, but that is just a weakness - if they cannot attack the enemy ship, the enemy ship will always be a threat.
Apart from piling them with human heads, he didn't even think of any way to deal with them.
As long as the three five-toothed ships are there, he can't win.
At this moment, he no longer thought about the kindness of those women.
With his tacit approval, the assassination plan took place.
He just secretly told the fake Zhang Zhao that Cao Cao must be killed. No matter what, Cao Cao is the first target.
"Shuisha——"
After the lightning, the rain came as expected.
Zhou Yu has never been to the north in his life. He heard that it rarely rains in the winter in the north, but it always snows.
This kind of rain may be like heavy snow in Sili and Jizhou.
Will there be heavy snow in Sili at this time? Will there be any problems with Cao Cao's food supply?
He didn't dare to bet that there was only rain in the south.
Suddenly, the rain on his head stopped. When Zhou Yu turned around, Da Qiao was holding a black umbrella to cover him.
"Mrs. Sun, the rain is cold, please go back to the military tent quickly."
Da Qiao shook his head and stood side by side on the bow of the boat.
"Gong Jin, is there any way to deal with the big ship in the daytime?"
In fact, after Sun Ce's death, Da Qiao had been a widow for many years. Except for Sun Quan, whom he had watched since childhood, he rarely talked to men. When he saw Zhou Yu, he only called him a general.
Even she, a woman, could see that there was no way to win against those big ships.
Jiangdong's army retreated more than ten miles to the stronghold today. What about tomorrow?
What about retreating to Xiakou?
Zhou Yu himself said that the two armies of Cao Cao should not be allowed to join forces. Once the enemy armies join forces, they will no longer be able to make a comeback.
But if Xiakou is lost, the Yangtze River will be unimpeded for thousands of miles. Cao's army can go all the way to Danyang and Wujun, and there will no longer be a Jiangdong Sun family in the world.
Da Qiao bit her lip tightly. She knew that from the moment the five-toothed ship appeared, the Sun family could no longer win.
Zhou Yu looked at the woman wearing a helmet and armor in front of him. She and Xiao Qiao were both of national beauty, but they had two completely different personalities.
Xiao Qiao is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, while Da Qiao is strong on the outside and soft on the inside.
Xiao Qiao never wears jewelry, but she is as gentle as jade and as bright as moonlight. Da Qiao is used to being ostentatious, but he is as pure as a child. Everything he does is just for the Sun family.
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, we have a plan, but I'm afraid it will hurt Tianhe. Does Mrs. Sun think that such a plan should be used?"
Da Qiao nodded without answering, and there was only the sound of rain all around.
After a while, Da Qiao held up his umbrella and left, leaving only Zhou Yu.
Her answer floated in the air: "Gong Jin, Jiangdong is the foundation of the Sun family for three generations. If Jiangdong is gone, what's the use of Tianhe?"
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
