——Nanban Camp

Since Huang Gai was punished, the Sun and Liu coalition forces have no major military operations, but have continued to conduct tentative contacts with the Han army in Hebei, that is, scout wars.

Then in this gap, Sun Ce and Liu Qi discussed the two armies to conduct joint combat exercises. Liu Qi's head was Lu Su, and Sun Ce's side was naturally Zhou Yu.

Lu Su and Zhou Yu had similar personalities, and with Zhuge Jin among them, they soon became close friends. With the cooperation between the two, the Sun and Liu coalition forces became stronger day by day.

On this day, a ship under the banner of an envoy came to the south bank and delivered Ma Qiang's handwritten letter.

When Sun Ce received the letter, Sun Ce opened it and frowned immediately, and hurriedly called Zhou Yu.

At this time, Zhou Yu was training troops with Lu Su. When he learned that it was Ma Qiang's letter, in order to show sincerity, Zhou Yu directly asked Lu Su to read it in the big tent together.

"I have heard that there are great brave people in the world who cannot measure their wisdom and cannot control their strength. They are not surprised when they come to them suddenly, and do not get angry without me. This is a very far-reaching wisdom and a great feeling.

What do you think of? There is hungry in the world, just like the hunger of oneself, and there is drowning in the world, just like the drowning of oneself.

Therefore, all heroes practice literature and martial arts, and are selfless and selfless, so as to seek help from the people to see the purity of the people and to serve the country and to be righteous.

Since Huanling, the Han Dynasty has been full of monsters, and national affairs have been abandoned every day. They have jumped on the beams and barked wildly in the temple; hawks and dogs have been rampant, and it is difficult for people to live in poverty, and the Yellow Turbans will eventually be in trouble.

Later, Dong Zhuo was in chaos, the mountains and rivers were broken, the princes were in vain, and heroes fought in a mess. At that time, the country was in danger of survival and death, and the people were in danger of being overwhelmed.

The ancients said: A town of ten houses must have loyalty and trust! How can a country of thousands of miles of Han Dynasty have no loyal bones?

I was planning for the people and national affairs. I raised an army on the plain. The force was single and the power was small, and the generals were less than ten, and the soldiers were less than ten. I fought in Xingyang, attacked Hulao, pacified Qingzhou, wiped out Yuan Shao, killed Dong Min, surrendered to Wuhuan, pacified the Xiongnu, drove away Xianbei, captured Cao and Liu in the Central Plains, and supported the emperor in Hebei. Wherever the flags were heading, there was nothing to win. Why?

People's hearts are in line with each other!

I divided the fields and divided the land in Hebei, and I took the imperial examinations to obtain scholars. Is what I wanted to benefit myself? What I wanted is the benefit of the people! Therefore, people's hearts are invincible to me!

Today, I will hunt in the Red Cliff with you, which is why the people will no longer suffer from war, not for their own benefit.

If you fight on the battlefield and win the battle above the river, you can be convinced no matter how victorious or defeated it.

However, the plague was secretly dispersed on the north shore, causing the people to be violent in the countryside and the soldiers died on the sickbed. Is it a hero who did it?

....”

In the first half of Ma Qiang's letter, he brags about himself, and in the second half, he almost curses people.

Sun Ce and others couldn't help but frown into an M.

"Is there a plague on the north bank? Ma Ziyu started his career by curing the epidemic. How could he not know the key to the army's epidemic prevention? If there is really a plague, it is no wonder Ma Ziyu thinks that this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!" Lu Su said and looked at Zhou Yu.

I haven't done anything anyway, have you sent someone to the North Shore to spread the plague?

Zhou Yu immediately said, "Most of the troops led by Ma Ziyu are from the northerners. They are not suitable for the local environment and are normal for infection and epidemics, but they frame us. It is really hateful!"

I didn't do this, don't guess it.

"At this time, we should send someone to the North Bank to inquire. If Ma Ziyu's soldiers are really infected with the disease, we will win this battle without fighting!"

Zhuge Jin's words were recognized by everyone, and when it was dark, the scouts sent to the North Bank reported the news.

There was indeed a plague on the north bank, and the scope was very wide. Not to mention Jiangxia, even the Jingzhou capital Xiangyang was in the epidemic.

In addition, the scouts also found out that the plague was extremely fierce. Anyone who had the disease was almost dead. Some people even said that the Han army in Hebei on the north bank was digging pits and burying corpses every day, and thousands of people had died.

Zhou Yu and others all thought that it was exaggerating to see thousands of deaths in Ma Qiang's army, but the epidemic would inevitably lead to a significant reduction in the combat effectiveness of the Han army in Hebei.

"General Sun, this is an opportunity! We should immediately send troops to attack Ma Ziyu's Wulin Camp, and our army will win this battle!"

Lu Su felt that the plague was not transmitted by himself anyway, so it would be normal to take advantage of your illness to kill you.

Zhou Yu also thought it was feasible, so he nodded and looked at Sun Ce and said, "Bo Fu, this is indeed a fighter, please send troops!"

"Since Ma Ziyu wrote this letter, would she be unprepared?"

"Even if you are prepared, you are not afraid. The morale of the Northern Army will definitely be very depressed at this time. Even if you cannot win, you will not be defeated!

And as long as Ma Ziyu knows that our army will not show mercy because of the plague, maybe Ma Ziyu will burn the ship and withdraw the troops themselves!"

Sun Ce nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

I have to say that Zhou Yu's words make sense.

"Bo Fu, what are you still hesitating about?"

....

"good..."

Sun Ce returned to his position, gritted his teeth and pulled out the order Fu and was about to give the order, but he stopped again when he saw the letter placed on the table.

"Bofu?"

"If we attack now, even if we win, we will be defeated without any force!

A hundred years later, how will we say in history?”

???

Now is the time of a decisive battle, are you thinking about this?

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and continued to ask, "If this is defeated, wouldn't it be confirmed that the plague on the north bank was caused by us?"

What will the world say about us a hundred years later?

For the victory of the war, countless people were infected with the plague?

Will this be praised or ridiculed by the military strategists in later generations?"

The more Sun Ce said, the more firm his eyes became.

"This is not the military tactic of my Sun family, and it cannot be done!"

???

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce with a firm expression, so angry that he didn't know what to say.

When is this time? If you don’t take his life while he is sick, we will be the one who will be killed in the future!

But Sun Ce had made up his mind. Not only did he not ask Zhou Yu to send troops, he asked Zhuge Jin to go to the North Bank for the envoy to inquire about the epidemic situation on the North Bank and express his condolences.

Although Zhou Yu did not agree with Sun Ce's decision, who said that this was his good brother Sun Ce?

What are brothers?

No matter how you choose, no matter what is ahead, I will accompany you!

——Wulin Camp

After seeing off Zhuge Jin who came to express condolences, Ma Qiang became confused.

Is this Sun Ce used his voice to attack the world, or is this Black Death really having nothing to do with Sun Liu and others?

Ma Qiang was a little unsure, so he could only ask Cai Mao and other naval forces to be more careful and patrol the river day and night.

Two more days have passed, and the Sun-Liu coalition forces have disappeared, let alone attacks, and even the previous temptations have been gone.

Ma Qiang couldn't help but wonder if the epidemic was really because of his own bad luck.

Otherwise, there would be no reason why the Sun and Liu coalition forces did not come to attack?

At this moment, Sun Ce received bad news.

A few days ago, the scout who went to the North Bank to find out the news suddenly became ill and died.

When the scout died, he had dark spots all over his body and vomited blood in his mouth, which was extremely terrifying.

Zhuge Jin recognized this symptom at a glance.

Isn’t this the Black Death that is causing a big Black Death on the North Bank?

Could it be that this scout was caught when he went to the North Bank to inquire about the news?

Scream~ It's comfortable now~

The Sun-Liu coalition forces are also preparing for epidemic prevention.
