The Three Kingdoms: I can't be a counselor, so I have to divide the world into four parts

When the fisherman heard Tang Jian say he wanted to buy his fish, he smiled brightly.

Then he stood on the bow of the boat, exhaling white air from the cold as he spoke:

"Young general, you want to ask about the situation of Cao's army on the opposite side, right?"

But Tang Jian shook his head and said:

"I don't really want to know this."

The fisherman was stunned and jumped off the boat swiftly.

He tied the boat to the rocks on the shore.

Then he said, "There are many people coming and going on this river, asking about the strength of Cao's army."

"You are the first person who doesn't want to know the strength of Cao's army!"

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Cao Cao is well versed in the art of war and uses his troops properly. His camps must be impregnable and impregnable."

"Even if you know, it's useless."

"It's better to ask something else."

After hearing this, the fisherman immediately showed a surprised expression, then raised his thumb and said:

"This young general knows the art of war!"

"Others are asking about the strength of Cao's army and where the camp is, but they are all like what the young general said. Even if they know the strength of Cao's army, it's useless."

"The young general is smarter than those people, hehe."

"Then, I wonder what the young general wants to ask?"

Tang Jian walked to the side of the boat and reached out to pick up a fish from the cabin.

The water was very cold, but the fish was still very energetic.

Tang Jian asked, "Excuse me, old man, in this winter, when the seasons change on the river, will there be a southeast wind?"

The fisherman was a little surprised.

"Ah? This young general is knowledgeable!"

"There will indeed be a southeast wind for one or two days around the winter solstice to the Lesser Cold every year."

"But this wind will change with the season time. As for the specific day, even we old fishermen can't figure it out."

Tang Jian got a rough answer, which was enough.

After all, the old fisherman is not Zhuge Liang, and he doesn't know so much about astronomy, geography, and astrology.

There is no way to calculate the time of the southeast wind so accurately.

And Kong Ming is proficient in these hydrology and climate, and can take advantage of the weather and the terrain.

So he can play tricks, borrow arrows with a straw boat in the fog, and borrow the east wind by performing rituals.

As long as you know the approximate time period and prepare yourself, it will be fine.

Besides, if Zhou Yu is ready for the general attack, then he will also receive the news.

Tang Jian had a plan when he thought of this.

So Tang Jian shook off the water on his hands and said, "Okay, then we will take care of all the fish for you, old man."

"In the future, as long as you catch fish, no matter how many, send them to my camp, I will buy them for you."

The fisherman was so happy when he heard this.

Zhang He took out a bag of five-zhu coins and was about to count the amount to give to the fisherman.

But Tang Jian said, "Don't count, just give it all together."

"It's cold and freezing, and it's not easy for fishermen and people to make a living on the river."

"Give all the money in the bag to you, old man."

Zhang He nodded and said yes, then handed over the bag of money.

Zhou Ji quickly passed the rope through the fish gills, tied it into a string, and held it in his hand.

The fisherman held the bag of money in his hand and was a little bit unbelievable.

"This..."

"Oh my..."

"I've always seen soldiers bullying the people and officials collecting taxes. I never thought I'd meet a good man like the young general today!"

The fisherman said, bowing to express his gratitude.

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Old man, it's cold, let's go back early."

Then he took Lu Kuang and the others to prepare to return to the camp.

The fisherman seemed to remember something at this time, and suddenly slapped his thigh and said:

"Hey!"

"That's right!"

The fisherman hurriedly took the money bag and chased Tang Jian, saying:

"Young general, wait!"

Tang Jian saw the fisherman chasing him, and didn't know what he was going to say, so he stood there and asked:

"Old man, do you have anything else to say?"

The fisherman replied: "The general is so kind-hearted, I can't help but repay him."

"I just remembered that I went fishing with my nephew a few days ago and went to the other side of the river."

Zhang He heard it and asked: "Isn't that the territory of Cao's army?"

The fisherman heard Zhang He was about to speak, but Tang Jian raised his hand to stop him and said: "The people here fish for a living, going up and down the river, cutting through the waves, just to make a living, and this has been the case for generations. If there is no war, how can we tell which is whose territory?" The fisherman agreed very much, and he raised his thumb again and said: "Young general, you are the one who truly understands the suffering of the people!" Tang Jian waved his hand and brought the topic back to the main topic.Title: "Let's not talk about this, old man, what did you want to tell me just now?"

The fisherman hurriedly said: "A few days ago, when my nephew and I went to the other side of the river, we saw that many Cao soldiers were sick due to acclimatization."

"A Cao general even asked me for a local remedy to treat the soldiers' acclimatization, loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhea caused by wind and cold."

Tang Jian listened and asked: "How many people are sick in this Cao camp?"

The fisherman shook his head and said: "I don't know, but seeing that Cao general is at a loss, I think there are quite a few."

After hearing this news, Tang Jian immediately thought that most of Cao's soldiers came from the north, lived directly by the river, and trained on the boat.

As a result, they were eroded by dampness, and their own qi and the local environment were too different and could not be reconciled. There were also some other reasons, which led to wind and cold attack, vomiting and diarrhea, etc.

In later generations, this is a minor problem, and drinking a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water will be fine.

But today, medical conditions are not good, and no one knows how to treat the disease according to the symptoms.

In addition, the number of sick people has increased.

Over time, the army will lose its combat effectiveness, and even cause large-scale infectious diseases.

Thinking of this, Tang Jian had an idea in his mind.

Then, he asked the fisherman: "Old man, do you know any folk remedies to treat this disease?"

The fisherman shook his head and said: "I have been on the river all my life and have never been anywhere else. I have no acclimatization and I don't know how to treat it."

Tang Jian nodded, smiled and said:

"That's good."

"Okay, thank you for telling me, it's cold, you should go back quickly."

After Tang Jian finished speaking, he returned to the military camp with a few people.

According to the fisherman, the southeast wind occurs after the winter solstice and before the Xiaohan Festival.

The day I set out from Jianye was the Xiaoxue solar term. Now twenty-three days have passed, which should be the eighth day after the heavy snow.

It will take another seven days to reach the winter solstice.

So, there is still plenty of time to cross the river and take him down!

However, in order to verify whether what the fisherman said was true or false, Tang Jian first sent Zhang He to monitor and visit and investigate the fisherman's background.

At the same time, Zhou Ji pretended to be a fisherman and drove a fishing boat across the river for reconnaissance.

The river wind was blowing and the waves were surging.

In this huge battlefield with the Yangtze River as the stage, every day was destined to be not too peaceful.
