Time flies!

Time is coming to the beginning of winter without realizing it!

At this time, northern China had long been covered by wind and snow, and in Jingzhou, it was also filled with the slaughter of winter!

At the beginning of winter, the first frost has been beaten down, and the visible bamboo leaves have also begun to pull up the leaves. A thin layer of thick ice has formed on the pond, but it is not as good as a person. As soon as your fingers are exerted, these thin ices will disperse like a mirror, allowing your fingers to directly touch the cold water in winter.

In the early morning, the outside world was also white, and at noon, the less enthusiastic rising sun drove away the little frost and snow.

It has been more than a month since Cao Chong came to this front line.

More than a month of military career made Cao Chong look much stronger. Because he often walked around the military camp and visited wise men, Cao Chong's face turned much darker than before.

Cao Chong was originally a noble young man. Even though he didn't apply powder on his face, he still felt as if he had applied powder, which made people feel weak. But now, Cao Chong's dark skin and some sized muscles on his arms are not easy to underestimate.

In the past few days, after Cao Cao comforted the people of the four counties of Jingnan, he quickly moved the temporary capital to Jiangling City in Nanjun.

Nanjun is penetrated by the Yangtze River, and now his other half is still in the hands of Sun Quan!

When Cao Cao left Changsha City, he pulled out most of the soldiers from Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling County. A total of 30,000 people were drawn out and organized into a single army. Now it is Han Xuan's command. Of course, Cao Chong also had an official position of marching Sima in it.

This is also one of the reasons why Cao Chong has been busy recently.

Because Han Xuan and others were rewarded by Cao Cao, even if they were a little dissatisfied, they would not dare to say anything. What's more, this army of 30,000 people was still under their own command, which made the families of the four counties in Jingnan even more have nothing to say.

Cao Chong became the marching Sima, so naturally everyone around him had an official position.

Zhou Buyi was a literati and did not need any official position. As long as he was recruited and Cao Chong was in contact, his official position would not be very small. Instead of letting his first official position in his career be in the military, it would be better not to have an official position. Zhou Buyi, as an aide, made suggestions in the big tent.

Hao Zhao was originally a goalkeeper, and his military title was actually quite high. Although Cao Chong was the marching Sima, he could not promote Hao Zhao.

Zhou Dufu Gao Yi was the centurion commander and was directly promoted by Cao Chong to Qu Wei. He was only still responsible for his own safety and was the role of a guard.

As for Guo Xiao and others, they were not particularly enthusiastic about military positions, so they became Cao Chong's aides. For a time, among the more than 30,000 people in the four counties in Jingnan, 10,000 were controlled by Cao Chong.

If another person controls these ten thousand people, Han Xuan will naturally have an objection, but Cao Chong is the son of Cao Cao and is familiar with him, so this does not arouse Han Xuan's disgust.

In these days, the water of the Yangtze River is getting smaller and smaller day by day. In some gentle river sections, there are even some floating ice. One-third of the river channels are exposed to the river sand. On the narrowest section, you can stand on the river bank and even shoot arrows to the other side.

At this time, the natural danger of the Yangtze River was almost useless.

Logically speaking, this was Cao Cao's best attack time, but Cao Cao did not take action. The biggest reason was naturally the disease.

A month ago, this disease was a sign of premonition, and it spread like a plague in the military camp. Fortunately, under Cao Chong's suggestion, there were many doctors in the army, but as time passed, more and more people were sick.

Originally, a doctor only had to be responsible for one patient, but now he needs to be responsible for five or ten. Not to mention whether these doctors have the energy to be responsible for these people, even if they have the energy, they don’t have enough medicinal materials.

It should be noted that schistosomiasis is difficult to treat in this era. The main function of those medicinal materials is to inhibit the disease and kill the schistosomiasis inside to achieve the level of control of the disease.

But having medicine can suppress the disease, it does not mean that medicine is enough!

Chen Ming and Chen Liangpu's prescription are called Qingpi Yin. The prescription is 12 grams of Bupleurum, 12 grams of Scutellaria baicalensis, 6 grams of Green Peel, 10 grams of Magnolia officinalis, 10 grams of Grassberry, 10 grams of Pinellia ternata, 12 grams of Poria cocos, 12 grams of Gardenia, 10 grams of Coptis chinensis, 15 grams of honeysuckle, and 6 grams of licorice.

Although these medicinal materials are not particularly difficult to find, they cannot withstand many people!

Tens of thousands of people get sick together, what are the medicinal materials needed?

At this time, there are so many medicinal materials in the world. Even if there are so many medicinal materials, it is impossible to transport them to this place so quickly.

So even though Cao Cao used all his strength, he still only got enough medicinal materials for 10,000 people. As for others, there was really no medicinal materials. Whether it was life or death, it was a headache for each person in charge.

Plague (schistosomiasis) is rampant, and the morale of the army is also a little unstable.

This is the reason why Cao Cao didn't take action. He had to eliminate the hidden dangers in the army first.

Fortunately, this plague is not without trace. As early as the eve of the war, Cao Chong wrote a letter to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao did not pay much attention to it at that time, which led to the current situation.

Cao Chong's previous letter explained that it was because of water, so Cao Cao made a quick decision and issued a military order in the army at that time: he could only eat and drink with boiled water. The sick soldiers were not allowed to eat and drink with the unsick soldiers, and directly isolated the patients.

Because of Cao Chong's previous letter, Cao Cao even went to see Cao Chong in person once, hoping that Cao Chong could have a solution, but Cao Chong was not a doctor, and the previous letter was also predicted by his time traveler's eyes. As for the treatment method, Cao Chong really didn't know.

Cao Chong was familiar with books and knew that there were many miasma in the south, so he advised Cao Cao to boil the water before drinking it.

Cao Cao praised Cao Chong for his knowledgeable knowledge on the surface, but the sadness on his face did not decrease much.

If even Cao Chong, who wrote to himself, has no choice, then who else can have a solution?

Cao Chong naturally had no choice, but immediately elected Chen Ming, and Chen Ming did not disappoint everyone's expectations. Although there were very few medicinal materials, he still temporarily controlled the epidemic. In addition, Cao's army was concerned about preventing disease in the military, so there was not much problem with disease in the military for a while.

Of course, this is just an illusion!

If there are not enough medicinal materials, the disease will still break out. At that time, they will have a big belly and lose their hands and feet?

How to fight?

How to win a battle?

Therefore, everyone in Cao's camp understood that what they faced was a quick battle. If they could fight quickly, with the reserve of medicinal materials that had not been fought in Jiangdong for many years, they should be able to treat these tens of thousands of people.

But if we cannot fight quickly, even if Cao Cao is unwilling to give up, he will have to retreat and ask the aristocratic family for herbal medicine.

So quick battle is a crucial matter for the current Cao army!
