Returning to his big tent, Zhang Ji took out a roll of paper from the medicine bag. After looking at it for a moment, he tore the roll of paper into pieces and then came out of the bill again.

As the hope of Cao's army to control the epidemic, Zhang Ji got the greatest freedom in Cao's camp. He could go anywhere, and even if he came to Cao Cao's tent, no one would stop him.

After a moment, Zhang Ji came to Cao Cao's tent and smiled at the guards, "Please report to the Prime Minister, I have something to ask for my meeting."

The guard immediately ran in, and for a moment the guard came out and said, "Prime Minister, please come in."

In the past few days, Cao Cao's mood has been mixed. The epidemic has been controlled. There are not enough new infections in the past few days. Moreover, the main fleet from Jiangling has arrived and successfully entered the water camp.

The worries were that Zhu Ling's army was wiped out, and even the chief general Zhu Ling was unfortunately killed, which disrupted his plan and forced him to pay a tragic price to seize Jiangxia.

But Cao Cao still has no clear idea of ​​how to fight, which is also one of his worries. He needs to find the weaknesses of the enemy.

Cao Cao was walking back and forth in the big tent with his hands on his back. At this time, Zhang Ji walked into the big tent and bowed, "See the Prime Minister."

“Mr. Zhang, please sit down

Cao Cao smiled and asked Zhang Ji to sit down. Although Cao Cao felt that Zhang Ji's motivation for coming to Cao's camp was not pure, no matter what, Zhang Ji helped him control the outbreak of the epidemic, and Cao Cao was still full of gratitude to Zhang Ji.

"How is the epidemic now?"

"Now it has been controlled by 80%." Zhang Ji bowed and smiled.

"Oh," Cao Cao was slightly stunned, "Mr. I mean, there are still 20% of the dangers."

Zhang Ji nodded, "Unless the last patient is cured and there will be no new patient within a month, then it will be considered completely controlled. It is too early to cure."

Cao Cao was silent. This was true. Although thousands of patients were cured, more than a thousand people died of illness, and more than a thousand people were between life and death. It is indeed too early to say that they are fully controlled. As long as they are not careful, the disease will retaliate and the disease will break out again.

"Where is the next step that gentleman is going to start?"

Zhang Ji smiled, "I am going to start to prevent and control people who have not had any epidemics, that is, senior officials, advisers and major generals, including the Prime Minister, should not be taken lightly."

Cao Cao deeply agreed that these strategists and generals were his most precious wealth, and no problem could occur. He nodded, "I fully support Mr. Mr.'s plan. From now on, Mr. Mr. Mr. can go anywhere in Cao's camp, including my tent."

"Thanks to the Prime Minister for his trust."

At this moment, a guard rushed to the door of the tent and reported nervously: "Prime Minister, there were dozens of enemy warships found on the river."

"What kind of warship is it?" Cao Cao asked nervously. Today was Nanfeng, and he was worried that the coalition forces would start a large-scale attack.

"It's a small warship, it seems to be a black briggish warship."

Cao Cao was relieved and immediately ordered: "So quickly lead 10,000 crossbowmen to support the water camp."

He stood up and said to Zhang Ji, "I want to go and have a look, I can't accompany you anymore."

At this time, Zhang Ji smiled faintly and said, "This black briggish warship should be a marching warship from Jiangdong. Does the Prime Minister know where the weaknesses of the Jiangdong army's water battle are?"

Cao Cao was stunned and turned around and stared at Zhang Ji. His eyes were sharp, but Zhang Ji seemed to be nothing, and he smiled and asked, "Will the Prime Minister listen?"

Cao Cao suddenly laughed, "Very good, I'll listen carefully."

...........

It was already early winter, and the north wind and cold air invaded Jingzhou, ending the cold and rainy season of nearly ten days, and the sky became clear. But in contrast, the Yangtze River surface is basically dominated by north wind, with few east winds or south winds. However, today, the south wind unexpectedly appeared, so Huang Gai took advantage of this opportunity to lead his army to head towards Cao's water camp.

Huang Gai led five elite navy troops and ten two-stone double-brigged clutches. This kind of clutch is also called a marshal warship. It is wrapped in raw cowhide, with two layers of upper and lower layers, with crossbow holes, which are mainly used for patrols. It can not only use wind power to advance, but also use manual boating to sail on the river surface as if flying.

This is the advantage of a small boat. For a large ship with a thousand stone, it is impossible to row with manpower and must use wind. Therefore, in winter, the warships cannot cross the river and head north, and there is basically no large ships with a capacity of more than five stones on the river surface to reverse the westward direction.

There is another special advantage of this type of warship, which is fire protection. The hull is covered with raw cowhide and will not be easily ignited by fire. After the Jiangdong Army was scared by the Jiangxia Army, the warship developed rapidly in Jiangdong.

Behind the Huanggai fleet, Zhou Yu also led a Thousand Stone Warship to follow the battle and cheer. The sound of drums on the river was like thunder, and ten brigs bulged their sails, lined up, rushing towards the Cao army's water camp like arrows...

The eight main fleets of Cao's army had arrived at the North Bank Water Village, and the more than nine warships sailed from the Han River, gave more than 1,08 warships in the Cao's army's water village.

As the epidemic has been effectively controlled, the morale of the Cao army gradually began to recover. Tens of thousands of northern soldiers from Cao army trained the riverside in the water camp every day to prepare for crossing the river and fighting with the Southern Alliance.

At this time, Cao Cao had received urgent reports. An enemy army came to attack the water camp. He and several confidant generals rushed to the water camp and stood on a large ship. Cao Cao looked into the river from afar and saw dozens of small boats rushing towards his water camp.

Zhang Yun stepped forward and bowed to report: "The Prime Minister is the Jiangdong Army's warship. The Jiangxia Army does not have such a two-stone brig sailboat. Each small boat carries up to twenty people, so the enemy will not exceed six people."

Cheng Yu next to him also reminded: "Today it happens to be the south wind, so we must prevent the enemy from attacking the water camp with fire ships."

Cao Cao smiled when he stroked his beard. At this time, he was confident and nodded and said, "Who would lead the army to fight to intercept it?"

Yuan Shao's surrendered general Zhang Nan, Jiao Chu stepped forward and said, "We can fight on the Yellow River, and we are willing to share the worries of the Prime Minister."

"good"

Cao Cao praised the courage of the two and said, "I will give you fifty speedboats and a thousand navy troops to stop the enemy ships."

Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu turned around and were about to leave, but Cao Cao stopped them and whispered to them. The two nodded, "Don't worry, Prime Minister, we know what to do."

The two jumped onto the Clippers, Zhang Nan pointed a spear and said, "Go to fight at the Prime Minister's order."

The gate of the water village opened, and fifty fast ships headed towards the Jiangdong Army to fight with the wind. At this time, Yu Jin had already led 10,000 crossbowmen to the wall of the water village, and set off bows and arrows, waiting for the battle.

At this time, Cheng Yu looked into the distance for a while and whispered: "Prime Minister, it's a little strange."

"Zhongde discovered something strange"

Cheng Yu pointed to the distance, "There is a large ship of thousands of stones behind it. The flag should be the Jiangdong Army. This is their first attack by the coalition forces, and it is of great significance. Why don't the Jiangxia Army go together to fight?"

Cao Cao's heart was as bright as a mirror at this time, and he smiled and said, "Maybe there was some estrangement between them or suspicion between them."

Cheng Yu was a little confused. He felt that the Prime Minister seemed a little different today, and he was confident. Did he know any news?

"There is also this kind of feeling in the humble position. There must be some problems between the Jiangdong Army and the Jiangxia Army, whether big or small."

Cao Cao concentrated on his mind, and he already understood in his heart that it was the Jiangdong Army and the Jiangxia Army who were competing for dominance in the war. It can be seen from the Jiangdong Army's attack alone that Zhou Yu was not convinced by Liu Jing.

There has been a problem with the relationship between these two armies, so we can use this to make the two armies unable to fight together, thus finding a way to defeat the enemy.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and smiled. He had found the weakness of the enemy.

.........

Zhang Ji received the order that Cao Cao would further relax the passage. He led a dozen military doctors and several cooperative soldiers to the Northwest Camp, which was the camp of the strategists. During the military camp that had been swept over the past few days, the place was not affected and was ranked last.

On the one hand, the strategists have good living conditions, few people and clean people, and everyone has a tent, and they pay attention to personal tidyness, so the epidemic has not affected this place.

However, after the nest is destroyed, there will be no eggs. Once the epidemic breaks out in the Cao army camp, it will be impossible to escape here. Therefore, Zhang Ji led the military doctors and soldiers to clean up and disinfect them, and received great cooperation from the strategists.

The strategists stood outside, allowing the soldiers to fumigate and disinfect them with mugwort in the big tent. One big tent ended, and then went to another big tent.

Jiang Gan also stood outside his tent and waited patiently. Since his last mission to Qichun had no effect, he had nothing to do and did nothing all day.

When he came back from his mission, he reported that Sun Quan refused to accept the conditions, and Cao Cao did not doubt him, but Jiang Gan was always a little uneasy. He felt that Liu Jing would not let him go so easily.

At this time, Zhang Ji came out of his tent and bowed with a smile: "It's already done, please return to the account."

While people were not paying attention, Zhang Ji whispered as he walked past Jiang Gan, "Attention on the table."

After saying that, he left and greeted the soldiers, "The next one is Mr. Cheng's big tent."
