Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 386 Saltpeter making ice to fight inflammation
Neither Zhu Rong nor Meng Huo thought that this good show between them had already been scouted by Cao Peng's Shu Wei.

Everyone in Shuwei was a good player in Jinyiwei before.

It can be said that the ability to covertly spy on information has long been perfected, so it was possible to detect the information back without being noticed by anyone.

After Cao Peng listened to the report, he was also very interested.

Meng Huo's wife, Zhu Rong, is now in her prime, and it is rumored that her face is like a delicate wild rose.

Although he is a foreigner from the Southern Barbarians, he is a rare person with high martial arts skills, and he is also good at using throwing knives, with a hundred shots.

I heard that this woman is quite knowledgeable in the art of war.

Such a strange woman naturally aroused Cao Peng's interest.

Chen Qun at the side saw that Cao Peng was in a daze, so he guessed that he must have no good intentions.

I couldn't help complaining secretly, this Cao Peng is really not picky, even this southern barbarian woman wants to say something.

"The order is passed on, and the whole army marches in quickly, pressing down on Meng Huo tightly. Let's see what other tricks he can do?"

After Cao Peng's order was passed on, Cao Jun immediately took action.

……

On the other hand, Meng Huo was also very fast.

He quickly stockpiled troops on the shore.

Originally, there were only a few remnants of soldiers under his command, but he responded to everyone in this southern barbarian land.

After all, he is the king of the southern barbarians, and many chiefs have given him face.

These stadiums brought soldiers, so Meng Huo gathered nearly [-] people in an instant.

They docked all the boats on the shore, built another earthen city, dug deep ravines, and placed countless bow and ballista stones on the earthen city.

After completing this series of projects, Meng Huo felt that he was really resourceful and resourceful.

"Very good, let's see what else Cao Peng can do?!"

In order to please Meng Huo, all the chiefs tried their best to flatter him.

After Cao Peng's army arrived, they stopped far away.

It is Cao Peng's consistent principle that even if the eagle is pouncing on the rabbit, he must do his best. The way to win is to fight steadily.

Therefore, Cao Peng took out a telescope, which was the one in his backpack.

Through the binoculars, he looked over.

Seeing clearly, all this was placed in Meng Huo's camp.

Guan Yu who was on the side couldn't help but said: "General, what did I say, this Meng Huo is simply a coward who is afraid of death!

Now that it's all over, he won't be able to stick to it at all. What should we do if we become a turtle? "

Cao Peng said with a smile: "Yun Chang, you are just too impatient. He won't be able to defend for a while, and it's easy to catch him."

Guan Yu couldn't help curling his lips, "General, I want to remind you that it's hot summer now. Half of the clans we brought this time are from the north. They can't stand the heat."

Cao Peng didn't take it seriously, and signaled that he knew it.

Guan Yu had no choice but to retreat, and he took the soldiers under his command to a place with lush trees.

Here is very close to the water source, Guan Yu ordered the soldiers to build sheds to cover the horses and let the soldiers enjoy the shade.

However, I still couldn't resist the scorching heat.

Even though Guan Yu respected Cao Peng very much, he couldn't help but want to complain at this time.

If Cao Peng hadn't insisted on letting Meng Huo go, how could there be so many troubles?

He worried that under such extreme heat, the soldiers would eventually be unable to bear the heat.

When Meng Huo rushed out suddenly when he was most exhausted, even he was not absolutely sure that he could defeat his opponent.

At this time, it was Cao Peng's personal guards who pulled a large iron cart to Guan Yu's residence.

"Why are you here? Are you General Cao Peng? What are your orders?"

Guan Yu, who was leaning against a tree to enjoy the shade, stood up and asked.

The soldiers said to Guan Yu with a smile: "The general is worried that everyone is too hot, so he ordered us to send you something to relieve the heat!"

Something to relieve the heat?

Guan Yu was skeptical, stepped forward, and opened the lid of the iron cart.

As soon as it was opened, a gust of cool air hit his face, making Guan Yu, who was in the heat, immediately feel refreshed.

The iron cart was actually filled with ice, and there were some fruits picked on the spot in these ice cubes.

The south is hot, and this season is when the fruits are ripe, and there are countless mountains and plains.

It's just that the soldiers of Cao Jun have never seen these foods, and they dare not pick them at will, for fear of being poisoned.

But Cao Peng is not afraid. As a modern man, he has seen a lot and taught soldiers to pick edible fruits.

"God, hurry up, share these things with everyone!"

Although Guan Yu didn't know how Cao Peng did it.

However, there is no doubt that this thing is a life-saving baby in this hot summer.

Soldiers can not only eat iced fruit, but also drink iced water.

In this way, even if it is consumed, they can remain invincible.

In addition to the ice cubes in this car, Cao Peng also sent people to send medicine for heatstroke.

These anti-heat medicines are all the secret recipes of the god-level Hua Tuo.

As early as when he went south, Cao Peng had already realized that he would encounter hot weather, so he had Hua Tuo prepared for it.

As for the ice-making technique, it's even simpler.

Before leaving the mountain, Cao Peng had someone find enough saltpeter.

The main ingredient of this thing is calcium nitrate, which has a white taste, and the bitter crystal color is like frost. When it dissolves in water, it can absorb a lot of heat.

This principle should be known to all those who have gone to school in later generations.

After Cao Peng proposed this idea, Huang Yueying immediately suggested that it might as well make a double-layer iron car.

The boat car is for the convenience of movement, and the double-layer iron sheet forms a simple refrigerator.

With such a design, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun's generals couldn't see the mystery at all.

However, Chen Qun and other counselors were astonished.

They had to admit that Cao Peng's brain was really different from theirs, and the things he thought of were all very powerful.

Meng Huo thought that Cao Jun would retreat because of exhaustion, but all the food and grass had to be brought in, and Cao Jun was still there.

Meng Huo sent soldiers to visit the camp more than once, but the news he got after returning was that Cao Jun's morale was blooming, and he didn't look tired at all.

All the chiefs have already fried the pot.

The rations they were allocated became thinner and thinner, and the military rations they ate almost turned into gruel.

If this continues, the remaining soldiers may rebel.

Meng Huo was so disturbed by this group of people that he had no choice but to say: "It seems that there is no way to continue dragging on. We can only go out of the village and face the enemy for a decisive battle!"

Although everyone was afraid of Cao Peng's attack, they knew that there was no other way, so they had to go back to rectify their troops and obey Meng Huo's orders.

Such a big movement was naturally detected in advance by the Shu Wei, who had first-class espionage capabilities.

The news that Meng Huo was about to raise troops also reached Cao Peng in advance.
