Chapter 185 People are suffering and not satisfied. Now that they have gained Long, they look back to Shu.
Chinese medicine is magical.
Based on the harmony of yin and yang and the five elements, if the right medicine is often used, the yin and yang in the body can be quickly balanced, and the medicine can cure the disease.
This is like the relationship between husband and wife, where men are yang and women are yin. If one party is too strong and the other party is too weak, it will often lead to disharmony in the entire marriage and family, and even the inability to continue.
When both parties are "evenly matched", that is, when the yin and yang are balanced, the family can survive.
Such is the case with Zhang Zhongjing's condition, for example.
Speaking of which, the medicine the two disciples used on him was nothing more than "Emergency Prescriptions", and this book was originally written in the 14th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Among the symptoms recorded in it, there are some that are several times more severe than Zhang Zhongjing's "violent typhoid".
And in the Southern Song Dynasty...
A disease similar to Zhang Zhongjing's is actually not a big problem at all.
You need to know that the development of traditional Chinese medicine is a leap forward in every dynasty.
If we put aside "greatness" and their respective eras, Sun Simiao can defeat Zhang Zhongjing, and Zhang Zhongjing can also defeat Bian Que.
It’s not that the medical skills of Zhang Zhongjing and Bian Que were not good, but that the “extensiveness” of their medical skills and the “fineness” of medicinal materials could not reach the level of subsequent doctors.
At this time, Zhang Zhongjing's high fever had subsided. Although he was still weak in vision and hearing, he was better than every day in the past six months when he was bedridden.
Originally my stomach was empty, but now after eating a bowl of porridge, my whole body suddenly regained a lot of strength.
This is not considered recovery from a serious illness, it can only be said that the condition is getting better.
Even so, it felt like he had been reborn and was in particularly good spirits.
At this moment, Zhang Zhongjing was listening to his two disciples silently reciting "Emergency Prescriptions"...
He asked: "Is this the medical book written by the fourth son of the Guan family? Did you use the prescriptions in it to save my master?"
"Yes... and no." Du Du quickly replied: "It is indeed this prescription that saved my teacher, but... this prescription was not written by Guan Si Gongzi. According to him, he copied it from some mountain doctors.
Coming..."
"A mountain healer?"
Zhang Zhongjing squinted his eyes... He didn't believe it.
At this moment, in addition to listening to the prescriptions to treat him, he also specially wrote down many strange prescriptions in "Emergency Prescriptions".
For example, stomachache...
The recipe is very simple. Just drink black bean soup and vomit after drinking it, and you’ll be fine!
Another example is getting malaria.
The recipe is to put a spider into the rice and swallow it in one bite, or hold a rooster, which can get rid of all malaria.
There are also times when malaria attacks.
Hold a stone and stand by the water, then recite the incantation as quickly as a law, then throw the stone into the water and don't look back.
These…
It really has the flavor of a mountain man.
But... Zhu Yu is the first, and Zhang Zhongjing can recover, which shows that although the treatment methods of these wild doctors are incredible, they are not necessarily wrong.
Zhang Zhongjing became more and more fascinated as he listened.
After listening to "Emergency Prescriptions", he asked his disciples to recite "Thousands of Gold Prescriptions"...and then "Compendium of Materia Medica".
I didn't think anything about "Emergency Prescriptions", but as soon as "Thousands of Gold Prescriptions" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" came out, Zhang Zhongjing realized that something was wrong.
Anyone who can write such medical books must have far better medical skills than Zhang Zhongjing.
How could he be a mountain doctor?
And if you can collect all these together and write them down silently, then how can the so-called Fourth Young Master Guan not be a medical master?
To take a step back, even if he is not a medical expert.
At least...he is also a pharmaceutical expert.
in this case…
This Fourth Young Master Guan is not only Zhang Zhongjing’s benefactor, but also a ‘Xinglin Leader’ who is hidden from the world!
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongjing quickly gave instructions.
"You don't have to carry it anymore..."
"Is my adoptive father going to rest?" Diao Chan asked hurriedly.
"You all should go and have a rest." Zhang Zhongjing said with emotion: "Tomorrow morning, you will take me to the city and take me to thank the Fourth Young Master Guan! Thank him for saving my life!"
"You also need to go and apologize to him together, especially...it's you, Hongchang! We people in the apricot forest help the world and save others, but we need to remember some rules. If you have a favor, you must repay it, and if you have a fault, you must repay it!"
Zhang Zhongjing looked at Diao Chan meaningfully.
Diao Chan nodded heavily, he knew...the adoptive father was referring to the beating of the "Dengwen Drum".
yes…
She really should make a proper apology to this Fourth Young Master Guan.
You know, the father of the Fourth Young Master Guan saved her fifteen years ago;
Now, fifteen years later, the Fourth Young Master Guan... saved her adoptive father again.
This pair of Guan family father and son are so kind...
She, Diao Chan, should repay her for being a cow and a horse!
Diao Chan really made up her mind secretly, even if she was... a slave or a maid, even if she was a cow or a horse, she would... also want to repay this Fourth Young Master Guan!
…
…
Hanzhong, the main hall of the government office.
After calling for a long time, Cao Cao, who was killing people in his dream, was finally awakened from his sleep. His hair was tied up without a crown, his eyes were condensed, and he seemed to be in a very heavy mood.
When he saw the officials in the main hall, he immediately shouted.
"Let's do something!"
Cheng Yu anxiously submitted the military report, "Prime Minister, we have just received an urgent report. The Xiangfan Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were defeated, and the two generals Cao Ren and Cao Chun were assassinated. The information is extremely urgent..."
It seems that Cao Cao already knew about this.
But Cao Hong opened his mouth in a hurry: "Brother, the purpose of Guan Yu's hidden arrows is to deceive eldest brother back, so as to relieve him of the danger in Shu. Brother, you must not be fooled!"
"That's right..." Cao Zhen also raised his hand and said: "Nowadays, people in Shu are panicking. Now is the opportunity to go south to attack Shu... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it! What's more, the Manfu Lord in Xiangyang City is still there, and the general Wenpin of Jiangxia is still there.
, Niu Jin, the general under General Tianren, also has bravery that no man can match. General Lu Chang is even said to be "unable to defeat the enemy's country, and unable to invade the surrounding countries." With them here, even if General Cao Ren fainted,
But Guan Yu may not be able to gain the upper hand."
As soon as this statement came out...
The generals here such as Xu Huang, Zhang He, Xia Houyuan, Guo Huai and others all had serious expressions on their faces, as if... they were not willing to give up this great opportunity so easily.
Cao Cao did not give these generals more opportunities to express their opinions. He just raised his hand.
He sighed in a rather heavy tone:
——"People are suffering and not satisfied. Now that they have gained Long, they will look back to Shu."
With these words behind him, Cao Cao strode out of here.
A group of civil servants and generals looked at each other and discussed...
"Why did the Prime Minister leave such a sentence: 'Having gained Long, return to Shu'?"
"Is the Prime Minister going to leave Hanzhong and rush to Jingxiang to support him?"
"Not going south? Isn't this... a pity?"
Among the civil servants, there was an inconspicuous literary figure, Sima Yi, who was also standing here.
Sima Yi is thirty-six years old this year. He stands at the end. He is not qualified to participate in such a meeting. Cao Cao specially brought him here.
At this moment, everyone was discussing. Jia Kui, who was about the same age as Sima Yi, asked him, "Zhongda, in your opinion, Prime Minister Cao left such a sentence: "Having gained Long, look back to Shuye", but he wants to give up going south and go to support.
Xiangfan?"
Sima Yi shook his head, "Did the Prime Minister say you gave up going south?"
this…
Jia Kui looked surprised, "What do you mean?"
Sima Yi held up his index finger, signaling him to speak lower, but he just said lightly: "To figure out the prime minister's thoughts... is the way to bring disaster. You and I must not bring disaster upon ourselves!"
"You... just like to show off." Jia Kui shook his head helplessly.
Sima Yi said calmly: "General Zihe and General Zixiao were assassinated, and they died and fainted. On the surface, it seemed like a disaster was coming, but blessings and disasters depended on each other, so why didn't they feel just right?"
For a moment, Jia Kui seemed to be stunned by Sima Yi, and he looked completely confused.
In fact, the biggest doubt in his mind is still:
——Will Prime Minister Cao give up heading south to Bashu and rush to Xiangfan?
…
…
Cao Cao was reading Man Chong's letter carefully.
He was slightly surprised when he read about the carriage, the crossbow, the wooden ox and the horse;
When he read that in order to snatch these weapons and equipment, Cao Chun sent troops to Sunset Valley and all the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were destroyed, his mood became even more intense.
I read about the two generals Cao Ren and Cao Chun fighting each other late at night. In the end, Cao Chun smashed the repeated crossbow, and the hidden weapon in the repeated crossbow was triggered. Cao Chun and Cao Ren were both dead and the other fainted.
Cao Cao only felt a dull pain in his forehead.
With a "bang" sound, he slammed Man Chong's letter on the ground.
He chanted the name of the culprit harshly.
"Huang Laoxie—this Huang Laoxie is a vicious scheme!"
"This time Zixiao and Zihe fell into Huang Laoxie's scheme. It's funny, Zixiao, he has been cautious and stubborn for several years, but he didn't want to...this time, he lost because of the word greed."
At this time, Cheng Yu explained beside Cao Cao: "From Hanzhong back to Xiangfan, there are two directions, land and water, and the distance is long. If you follow the rules set by the Prime Minister and 'don't take the night road', then..."
Before Cheng Yu could finish asking, Xu Chu came in and reported, "Prime Minister, General Xu Huang wants to see you."
Cao Cao looked up, his face extremely gloomy, "Pass!"
Xu Huang stepped in. He was so anxious that he even forgot to do the courtesy, "Is the Prime Minister going to Xiangfan?"
Cao Cao noticed his impoliteness and frowned displeased.
"Um?"
Only then did Xu Huang wake up and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, "I will be disrespectful and I will pay my respects to the Prime Minister."
Cao Cao then asked calmly: "Who did you listen to?"
Xu Huang replied respectfully: "The Prime Minister said it himself, now that we have captured Long, we will return to Shu? Now the whole military camp is spreading the word, and all the generals are in a mess, busy packing their baggage, and rushing to support Xiangfan together with the Prime Minister.
"
Cheng Yu bowed and said: "What General Gongming said is true, the morale of the army is fluctuating!"
Cao Cao's face was gloomy, "You have learned to figure out Gu's thoughts. Gongming, go to each camp quickly to deliver the order, and tell each camp to pack it up. When Gu gives the order, the three armies will be sent to Jingxiang to fight to the death with Guan Yunchang."
this…
Xu Huang held up his hand and asked, "I would like to ask you boldly, during this period, the soldiers who are good at mountain warfare that General Junyi (Zhang He) and I secretly trained... were all in vain?"
The implication is that Xu Huang asked, is such a good opportunity really not going south?
Cao Cao replied coldly: "You didn't remember what I just said or didn't you understand?"
Xu Huang hurriedly bowed and stepped back, "I will remember this, I will retire!"
As Xu Huang exited the room, he muttered to himself in confusion, "What a failure, what a failure..."
He thought for a moment, stamped his feet, and strode towards Zhang He's camp.
"well--"
With a helpless sigh, he recalled that when he captured Hanzhong, Cao Cao secretly summoned him and Zhang He.
That time, Xu Chu led the two of them to a dilapidated room.
There is a map hanging high in the room.
Three roads leading south to Bashu are marked on the map.
The first Golden Ox Road, this road is named after the story of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period: "The stone is made of cow dung and gold is made, and the five dings open the way."
If you want to reach Chengdu from Hanzhong, you need to first go to Baocheng, then Ningqiang, pass Guangyuan, Zhaohua, Jianmen, Wulian, Zitong, Mianyang, Deyang and finally go south to Chengdu.
There are many dangerous passes here, and they are countless.
The second is the Micang Road, which crosses the Nanjiang River and reaches Bazhong. The so-called "Bazhong" refers to Bazhong and Shu. This "Bazhong" is the most important place for grain storage and troops stationing in the north.
The third is the Lychee Road, which reaches Xixiang from Hanzhong and goes all the way south to Fuling. This is the core road connecting Yizhou and Jingzhou, and its strategic location is self-evident.
Seeing these three roads…
Zhang He and Xu Huang roughly understood what was going on.
At this time, Cao Cao walked in quickly from outside the door. He saw Xu Huang and Zhang He and quickly ordered: "I want to take the middle of Shu, but the soldiers are not good at mountain warfare, so I can only rely on you two."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao pointed to Micang Road and Litchi on the map and said: "Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang is bound to station heavy troops on the Golden Bull Road. It is extremely difficult to break through a sword pavilion, so... I plan to lead the army to the Golden Bull Road to confuse people.
That big-eared thief, Gongming took the Micang Road, and Junyi took the litchi road! If Bazhong and Fuling are lost, then the big-eared thief in Shu will not be able to sit still!"
Xu Huang especially remembered how domineering and virtuous the Prime Minister was when he talked about going south.
At this moment, Xu Huang calmed down.
Flash forward...this was already three months ago.
For three months, he and Zhang He did not dare to neglect and trained the soldiers in mountain warfare every day. Now that the soldiers have achieved success in mountain strategy, they are fully equipped to go south.
And...after hearing that Liu Bei entered Shu, Shu was in chaos and people's hearts were in a state of confusion. This was a good opportunity for him to go south!
But who would have thought...
But...but because of...because of a Xiangfan, because Cao Ren fainted after being assassinated, he was about to fall short!
"Alas... alas..."
Xu Huang stepped back and sighed.
Cao Cao pondered and sneered, "Look, these warriors today are so blatantly trying to figure out Gu's thoughts."
Cheng Yu said cautiously, "If the Prime Minister intends to support Xiangfan, he should leave early to stabilize the morale of the military in Hanzhong and Xiangfan and prevent the military morale from fluctuating!"
Cao Cao glanced sideways at Cheng Yu, "When did I say that I wanted to leave for Xiangfan?"
"Ah..." Cheng Yu was startled, "Didn't the Prime Minister say, 'Having gained Long, return to Shu'?"
"Haha..." Cao Cao laughed heartily, "You all thought that I would leave for Xiangfan. If so, then Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang would also think so. As a result, all the Shu army would be relaxed. In this way, the battle between Micang Road and Lizhi Road can be decided.
Isn’t this a God-given opportunity to go south?”
this…
Cao Cao blurted out these words and Cheng Yu was startled...
But soon, he realized it.
Prime Minister... is this "rescuing Xiangfan openly and going to Shuzhong secretly"?
What a brilliant plan!
…
…
It was late at night, and under the warm yellow light, Zhuge Liang held Guan Yu's letter in his feather-fanned turban.
Walking on the bluestone ground as smooth as a mirror, I was walking slowly, thoughtfully.
The so-called - seeing the words is like being obscure.
Seeing the letter written by Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang seemed to see Yunchang himself.
——"Kong Ming is well. It has been three years since we were separated from Jingzhou, and Yu is deeply moved. Thinking back to the past, my three brothers became sworn friends in Taoyuan, and visited Mr. Yu's thatched cottage three times for eight years...Mr. Shui Jing once said, Wolong
, Feng Chu, one person can conquer the world, and then because of his elder brother's courtesy and courtesy, Mr. Shui Jing's words came to him, and he got Mr. Wolong in Jingzhou..."
——"Kong Ming took the exam to teach Yun Qi. This is a blessing for the Guan family. This son is aloof and has a temperament similar to that of Guan. Moreover, when he answered the question, he was angry with Guan. Therefore, there was some prevarication and nonsense in the answer sheet. I hope Kong Ming
Do not mind!"
The whole article is eloquent and contains hundreds of words.
Most of them are Guan Yu's praise of Zhuge Liang.
However, these are not the key points. The key point is the last sentence...the sentence where Guan Gong excused his son Yun Qi.
——"Yun Qi's answer is somewhat prevaricating and nonsense. I hope Kong Ming doesn't mind!"
this…
When he read this, Zhuge Liang paused slightly.
He was surprised, could this be what Guan Yu could say?
Guan Yu was arrogant all his life. Even in his previous correspondence with Zhuge Liang, the four characters "arrogant" were written between the lines. Even Zhuge Liang had to lower his stature.
But in this letter, his posture was so low.
Zhuge Liang couldn't imagine...
How much did Yun Chang think highly of this Fourth Young Master Guan, so that he could write such a letter that was "humble" to the bone?
There is no pride or arrogance. This kind of Guan Gong makes Zhuge Liang feel at ease and relieved!
In addition, this Guan Lin Guan Yun Banner made Zhuge Liang even more curious.
Yang Yi reminded, "Commander Zhuge has read General Guan's letter. Next, you might as well read Master Yunqi's answer sheet..."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang knelt down and sat back in front of the desk, and waved his hand gently.
He said calmly towards Yang Yi.
——"The test paper is dead, and it is one-sided to judge a person based only on the test questions. Mr. Wei, I am very curious... Tell me your evaluation of this Mr. Guan Lin."
Zhuge Liang took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Yang Yi and pushed it in front of him.
this…
Yang Yi was slightly startled as he recalled the scene when he parted with Guan Yu in Jingzhou.
At that time, Guan Yu said, "I'm not afraid that Yang Shangshu will laugh. A nonsensical answer from my son will definitely make Kong Ming think that this son is frivolous! However... Guan's son knows best that Yun Qi is by no means frivolous, but he is
So much like Guan... As arrogant as Guan, as stubborn as Guan."
And Yang Yi's answer was, "To be honest, I envy Mr. Yunqi, and I also envy Mr. Guan."
yes…
How could Yang Yi not see the luster of such a raw jade?
Immediately, Yang Yi's eyes flickered, "The military advisor really wants to listen?"
"really."
"Then, should the military advisor listen to the smart and astute side of Mr. Yunqi first? Or should he listen to his... rebellious and mischievous side?"
"Let's start with the nonsense and rebellious ones." Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea.
Yang Yi mentioned "the first answer sheet" without thinking, and he talked about it.
"If we talk about this nonsense, it is vividly displayed in this answer sheet. It is also this answer sheet that caused a tense situation between father and son, and even caused Mr. Yunqi to speak fiercely to Guan Gong. The so-called 'lack of talent will lead to
If you are too resourceful, you will be too worried, if you don’t have enough knowledge, you will be too angry, if you don’t have enough trust, you will be too talkative… These words are not pleasant to hear!”
While talking, Yang Yi had already opened the first answer sheet for Zhuge Liang.
But Zhuge Liang was still surprised.
——"If you lack talent, you will be too resourceful; if you don't have enough knowledge, you will be too worried; if you don't have enough power, you will be angry; if you don't have faith, you will be too talkative."
——"How can Yun Chang indulge this son to this extent?"
Zhuge Liang was about to see the mischievous and rebellious side of this "Master Yunqi".
at this time…
"——Report."
A guard reported: "Comment to the military advisor, there is an envoy from Jingzhou outside the door asking to see the military advisor?"
Well…
Zhuge Liang raised his eyes, obviously he was a little surprised.
——"Wei Gong came here as soon as he arrived in Shuzhong. How could there be an envoy from Jingzhou?"
"Have you asked about your identity? Are you sure he is the envoy from Jingzhou?"
Zhuge Liang replied softly.
"Yes, Guan Gong's message." The guard said truthfully: "But this messenger said that he came to pursue Yang Shangshu and wanted to recover a personal letter from Guan Gong."
Well…
As soon as this statement came out, not only Zhuge Liang but also Yang Yi was shocked.
Guan Gong’s autographed letter? Why does it suddenly need to be recovered?
Yang Yi pondered.
——"Is it Master Yunqi who has made Guan Gong angry again? Doesn't Guan Gong plan to plead for him? This... no way!"
Yang Yi shook her head.
Yang Yi felt Guan Gong's "love" for Young Master Yunqi deeply, and it is no exaggeration to say that he hated her deeply, so the depth of his love was no exaggeration.
how come?
Zhuge Liang was also a little surprised...and waved immediately.
"Call him in."
Never thought that it would be at this moment.
Another civil servant broke into the room and hesitated slightly when he saw Yang Yi there.
Zhuge Liang waved his hand, "Wei Gong is one of our own, but it doesn't matter."
The official said quickly: "Military advisor... I just received an urgent report from Xiangfan. Something happened in Xiangfan... Xiangfan. Cao Ren and Cao Chun were assassinated. Cao Chun died and Cao Ren fainted!"
this…
As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Liang's eyes widened instantly, and he almost didn't believe what he heard.
Zhuge Liang was a cautious man. He quickly got up and asked the official.
"You...say it again!"
The clerk's words were chanted again.
——"Just... I just received the urgent report from Xiangfan. Something happened in Xiangfan. Cao Ren and Cao Chun were assassinated, Cao Chun died, and Cao Ren fainted! My lord... My lord has sent someone to ask the military advisor to go to General Zuo's mansion to discuss the matter!"
With a "gudong" sound, Zhuge Liang was so surprised that his chest heaved up and down.
——Assassinated!
——Cao Ren fainted, Cao Chun died...
Doesn't that mean that today's Xiangfan...has no leader?
