Zhang Quan was taken to Kunyang. It was the next morning and he was brought directly to the government office to see Zhuge Liang.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by Zhou Cang. Several people in the hall looked nervous, but Guan Yu was playing chess with Zhuge Liang there.

There was a brazier burning under the stage, with medicinal soup boiling on it. Guan Yu exposed his left arm, and an old man with gray hair and a childlike face took out the props from the pot.

Zhang Quan's expression changed drastically when he saw this. He thought that General Guan Yu actually wanted to torture him. Seeing that there were so many torture instruments, they were all finger-sized knives and pointed awls with hooks. Could it be that he had to peel off his skin and get cramps?

Thinking of this, Zhang Quan trembled all over, broke out in cold sweat, and knelt down at the door with a bang: "General Guan, please forgive me, I don't know anything!"

Zhou Cang ran over quickly, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Stop making any noise."

Zhang Quan was startled and saw the old man sighing: "I am brave enough to prescribe treatment. Later I will cut open the skin and flesh and scrape off the curare poison on the bones. Your Majesty will be patient for a while."

Guan Yu held a piece in his hand, pondered for a moment, then slowly dropped it on the chessboard, turning a deaf ear to the old man's words.

Zhang Quan was shocked, only to realize that he was going to treat Guan Yu's injury. He stood up leaning against the door frame, his whole body soaked with sweat, and the cold wind blew, and he shivered again.

I saw the old man taking the knife in his hand, holding down Guan Yu's arm, and actually cut a half-foot-long incision, and then cut open the skin and flesh. Suddenly, blood flowed like a stream, and fell into the copper basin with a ticking sound.

Zhang Quan gritted his teeth tightly, not daring to look directly, and turned his head, but heard a tooth-piercing squeaking sound. When he looked over, his mouth suddenly opened wide.

The old man actually used another knife to scrape the bones, and the blade scratched on the arm bones. The sound kept coming out, and everyone present became pale, and several people lowered their heads.

On the opposite side, Zhuge Liang frowned and looked at Guan Yu's arm nervously. However, Guan Yu's expression did not change. He took a sip of wine from the bowl and laughed loudly: "Commander, it's your turn!"

Zhuge Liang was startled for a moment, then he remembered to shake his feather fan gently to fan the two of them in the cold weather. When he picked up the chess pieces and looked at them again, he exclaimed: "The king's chess skills are amazing, he actually drove the mountain man to a dead end!"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled and said: "I played chess with the military advisor, and my second son never won. I was lucky enough to take the lead today, but the military advisor is uneasy!"

Seeing this situation, Zhang Quan felt panicked for some reason, short of breath, dizzy, and a little unsteady. He leaned against the door and managed to stand. He wanted to remind Guan Yu loudly that the knife was scratching your arm!

Zhuge Liang made another move, and the two were playing chess. Only when the black blood in the basin was almost full did he stop. He first applied herbs and then took needle and thread to sew the flesh. Guan Yu's expression remained unchanged.

When everything was completed, not only Zhang Quan but also everyone was sweating. The old man also dropped the blade from his hand and collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.

In the silence, Guan Yu stood up and said with a big smile: "Military advisor, you have completely lost this time."

"Lost, lost!" Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed, stood up and bowed deeply to Guan Yu: "The king's courage is amazing, he scrapes bones to cure poison, and his face does not change. He is truly the best in ancient and modern times!"

The old man also sighed: "Hua Tuo has never seen anything like this in his whole life of practicing medicine. You are truly a god!"

Zhang Quan was surprised. He didn't expect that this old man was Hua Tuo. Cao Cao had gone to Xiangyang to seek medical treatment for his head ailment but failed.

Guan Yu helped Hua Tuo up, cupped his fists and said, "The pain and numbness in my arms have gone away. You are truly a miracle doctor."

Hua Tuo wiped his sweat and sighed: "I have been practicing medicine for most of my life. I am fortunate to be treated kindly by my lord and see the courage of my king. I have no regrets in this life!"

The soldiers were also frightened. It took them a while to come to their senses and hurriedly went inside to report. Zhuge Liang asked Guan Yu to rest in the hall and held a banquet to thank Hua Tuo.

When Zhang Quan was brought into the lobby, he felt cold all over. He had been sweating just now, and when the cold wind blew, his whole body was so cold that he shivered.

Zhuge Liang rarely drank three glasses of wine in public before he calmed down and said to Zhang Quan: "Do you know who designed the poison from General Guan's arrow sores?"

Zhang Quan was shocked by Guan Yu's momentum and was still in shock. He subconsciously shook his head and said: "This matter has nothing to do with me."

"If it has anything to do with you, how can we survive?" Zhuge Liang said: "This is Jia Wenhe's plan to set up an ambush with troops. We are willing to admit defeat, but using this despicable and poisonous plan is too much."

Zhang Quan was surprised. Zhang Liao and Guan Yu fought against each other half a month ago, with a victory or defeat. He heard about the fall of Kunyang a few days ago and thought that Guan Yu had won a great victory. Unexpectedly, he was also plotted by Jia Xu.

Thoughts were passing through his mind, but he said: "Although Jia Xu and my father are old friends, since they arrived at Cao Ying, they have been doing their own duties and have not had much contact. I really don't know about this."

Seeing Zhang Quan's efforts to excuse himself, Zhuge Liang asked calmly: "Do you know what the consequences will be if General Guan is assassinated by this plot, or if Huashen does not heal his injuries?"

"This..." Zhang Quan was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Zhuge Liang said: "Uncle Liu Huang was killed by Cai Mao, and the Cai family was slaughtered. The two generals Guan and Zhang were entrusted to Liu Gongzi. He always treated them as elders and close relatives. If he died on the battlefield, he would have no complaints. If he was plotted by a villain, he would not complain.

Even if I chase you to the end of the world, I will take revenge!"

Zhang Quan said in astonishment: "What does this matter have to do with me?"

Zhuge Liang sighed: "Fortunately, the king was not in danger, and the matter has been revealed. Now Cao's thieves are far away in Mobei, Cao's army is facing enemies on all sides, and General Guan has broken through the Central Plains. I believe you are well aware of the situation! You are not allowed to do this."

General Cao, who used to follow the trend and protect himself wisely, should be more aware of the overall situation."

Zhang Quan was confused when he heard this, and he clasped his fists and said, "I wonder if you have any advice, sir?"

Zhuge Liang said: "I don't want to keep you, as long as you bring something to Jia Xu and tell me truthfully."

Zhang Quan was overjoyed: "You really want to let me go back?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Is there such a thing as joking in the army? Besides, my body has been buried outside the city. You can transport it back to Xuchang for a safe burial."

"Seriously?" Zhang Quan stood up in shock.

Zhuge Liang sighed: "If the princes had not stood side by side, each with different intentions, why would there have been disputes in the world? Now the two armies are intersecting, and each has its own master. At that time, I have no choice but to bury him. Understand the situation clearly and don't be stubborn."

Zhang Quan was impressed by Guan Yu's magnanimity today, and because of Zhang Xiu's death, he was indeed a little disheartened. He clasped his fists and said, "Thanks to your tolerance, sir, I will personally hand over everything to Jia Xu. From now on, I will return to my hometown and no longer serve the Cao family."

Zhuge Liang ordered someone to get a kit and give it to Zhang Quan, and said: "I heard that Jia Wenhe is old and frail, his eyes are dim, and he is asking for a good medicine from Hua Tuo. If you give it to him, it will cure his illness.

remove."

Zhang Quan was stunned. Zhuge Liang just said he wanted to seek revenge against Jia Xu, and then he sent medicine again. What was going on?

Without waiting for further questioning, Zhuge Liang had already ordered people to take him down and prepare food and drinks.

After they had eaten and drank enough, they were sent outside the city, only to see a carriage waiting. There was a coffin in the carriage, and it was Zhang Xiu's corpse inside.

Zhang Quan was escorted out of the country. He was worried all the way. He was worried that Zhuge Liang would frame him, so he secretly opened the bag of tips.
