Chapter 487: Going to filial piety

Zhou Yu then took out a command arrow and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Liao, Xu Huang listened to the order!"

In order to participate in this military meeting, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang just arrived from Lujiang yesterday. Zhou Yu had a secret conversation with them for more than an hour and was preparing to hand them a special task.

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang stood up, wearing military uniforms, they were full of energy and heroic postures. Zhou Yu looked at them with praise and expectations, "According to the combat plan agreed last night, you and the two of you will quickly return to Lujiang and set off at the right time!"

"Yes!" The two agreed very simply, took the arrow and then left with big strode.

Zhou Yu then continued to calmly dispatch troops.

"Lu Su, Wang Yue, Zulang, Xu Yi obeyed the order. After you took a boat north, you took Lu Su as the commander, occupied the important transportation route, built a temporary fortress, blocked Cao Cao's army in Wulin, so that he could not withdraw his troops smoothly! It is best to capture Cao's thieves when adapting to the situation in the war!"

"Zang Ba, Zhao Yun obeys the order! After you lead the scout camp and the cavalry of Hurricane camp cross the river, you will focus on monitoring Ma Chao's Western Liang army and strive to shake hands with him. If he is stubborn and tries to attack my troops besieging Wulin, he will firmly block it!"

"Huang Zhong obeys the order! After crossing the river, you lead Zhongyi Camp to attack Huarong as fast as possible. It is the supply base of Cao's army. It is very important and you must seize it!"

"Yang Ci, Lu Qian obeys the order! It's hard to make soups these days! After drinking preventive medicine, our soldiers will not be infected by the disease of Cao's army. The war is imminent. Your female barracks must plan to treat the wounded. Various medicines and equipment must be fully prepared!"

"Yang Ci obeys the order again! Using the method of relay transmission of flying pigeons, he quickly passed this secret letter to General Cheng Pu, who was stationed in Shouchun, and let him act according to the plan!"

"Lu Fan obeys the order! You are responsible for inspecting the food, arrows and equipment of the army's combat, so you must not delay the fighter planes!"

After a large handful of arrows were distributed, Zhou Yu suddenly felt much more relaxed, and at the same time felt a little empty. The upcoming decisive battle was like a large machine, connected by one another, and there would be problems if any link was missing. Now the soldiers are busy doing things that they are responsible for. As long as they complete the tasks they are in, they will be able to do. Only they can understand the overall situation and grasp the overall situation. The responsibility is heavy.

Zhou Yu turned his head and smiled at Jia Xu, "Mr. Wenhe, I have sent someone to set up a remote open space on the top of Chibi Mountain to clean it up. Tomorrow I want to burn incense and play the piano, drink with you, and enjoy the scenery on the river. How about it?"

Jia Xu replied happily: "I really want to ask for it. The lord's piano skills are unparalleled in the world. Such a good news, if a wife dances gracefully, it will be the fastest thing in his life."

Just as the Zhou army camp was united and made every effort to prepare for the war, there was a different scene in the Cao army camp.

In the dark tent, Guo Jia was lying quietly on the couch, waiting for the call of the god of death. At this moment, Guo Jia had already lost her former charm, with thin bones, dark yellow skin, thick eyebrows, and only her eyes occasionally flashed with the former spirit.

As soon as the door of the tent was lifted, Cao Cao, with a calm expression, walked in slowly. In fact, Cao Cao was already extremely anxious and exhausted at this time, but as the commander, he had to calm down in front of his subordinates without any confusion.

As soon as he entered the tent, Cao Cao asked a stench. No need to ask, it was emitted from Guo Jia. The military doctor who was serving Guo Jia in the tent was afraid that Cao Cao would be infected, so he hurried forward to persuade him. Cao Cao waved his hand with a calm face and said, "Life and death are up to fate, how can I ignore it if I am filial?"

Although Cao Cao's voice was light, Guo Jia, who was lying on the couch, could hear it clearly, and two lines of tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

Cao Cao walked lightly to Guo Jia and asked with concern: "Wangxiao, do you feel better?"

Faced with Cao Cao's care, Guo Jia's body was filled with warmth. He didn't know where the strength came from. He struggled and leaned half on the couch and said to Cao Cao: "Fengxiao is incompetent and is seriously ill. I'm afraid he can't contribute to his lord in the future..."

Cao Cao forced a smile and said, "Where is this? Just wait for Fengxiao to recover from his health. I captured Jiangdong. We will drink together at the top of Moling City. How about it?"

Guo Jia coughed twice, looked at Cao Cao with his eyes deep in his sockets, and said slowly: "I have heard the sound of God calling me... Now that the disease is rampant in the camp, my army is in danger..."

Cao Cao asked anxiously: "What should we mean by filial piety?"

Guo Jia coughed several times again, gasped for a while, Fang Youyou replied with strength: "Retreat quickly~~Retreat quickly~~"

Guo Jia's situation made Cao Cao feel a little reluctant to leave. Now the disease has spread to every corner of the camp, and everyone is in danger. At least nearly 10,000 people have died of sudden illness, and half of the soldiers have been infected, and their combat effectiveness has been sharply reduced. Not to mention crossing the river to fight, Cao Cao has no confidence even if he can defend the camp.

Indeed, what Guo Jia said about withdrawing troops was the only way out. It would be not too late to withdraw the healthy soldiers to the north as soon as possible, regroup, and then go to the south of the Yangtze River. If you continue to hesitate, the ending of the entire army being lost is something you can imagine with your feet.

However, if the troops were to withdraw, these soldiers who were infected could only be abandoned. If they were brought back, it would not only be useless, but would spread the disease to ordinary people, which would be a huge disaster. Cao Cao's heart has always been very tough. He could make a frank and abandon ordinary soldiers. However, as his most relied confidant, Guo Jia has made countless contributions to himself. How could he be so heartless?

Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's hesitation. At this time, a sensation of itchyness slowly came from the soles of his feet. His feet were no longer conscious. Slowly, his calves also lost their feelings. Guo Jia knew that it was difficult to hold on anymore, so he grabbed Cao Cao's clothes and smiled and said, "The most correct thing in his life is to follow his lord, and the most regrettable thing is that he can no longer accompany his lord. Jia is going~~ The lord retreats quickly... retreats quickly... retreats quickly..."

As Guo Jia's speech speed decreased, his hands gradually lost their strength and finally slid down weakly. Guo Jia's entire body suddenly paused and collapsed. His once tricky head could no longer be lifted.
