When Liu Xiang heard him being called outside, he turned around and looked.
I saw a man approaching in a hurry. He was Zhang Huai's eldest son, named Zhang Zhao, courtesy name Yuanhou. He was seven feet eight inches tall, with ape-like arms and wasp waist. He was quite capable. He was a thief in Hunu County.
Zhang Zhao said loudly as he walked, "Yicheng, a visitor from the county came and said they were looking for you. The prefect recruited you to cure the plague. How could I not know that you also have medical skills?"
Liu Xiang stood up to greet him, "I've met brother Yuanhou. You haven't been back for many days. How are you?"
"Okay, okay, don't be polite, tell me quickly, when did you learn medicine? How did the prefect know your name? The visitor was still in the county office, so I came to see you in a hurry. When did you learn to cure the plague?
"
Zhang Zhao had an impatient temper and was always fickle and did not pay much attention to etiquette. He suffered a lot for this, but he never changed.
"Medical skills can only be learned by reading books. Even if the prefect conquers the country, is there a time limit?"
Zhang Zhao shook his head, "I don't know. I didn't ask. If I hear you, I will come back to find you."
Liu Xiang was helpless. What can you do with such a naive person?
"Don't keep your visitors waiting for a long time. After I have packed my belongings, I will go to the county office. Brother Yuanhou will go back to the county office first to reply and say that I will be there shortly."
"Okay, hurry up. I'll go back to the county office first." After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, he said to his father Zhang Huai, "Father, I'm going back first. If anything happens, send someone to the county to summon me."
Zhang Huai nodded, "Business matters are more important, so let's go now. My father is surrounded by fellow villagers and old friends, so don't worry about anything if anything happens."
Zhang Zhao obeyed and left in a hurry.
"Alas! I have also read books and know etiquette, how could I teach such a reckless and reckless person?" Zhang Huai shook his head, quite helpless.
"My nephew, please come back. Even if the eunuch summons us, we can't shirk it. It's just that the plague is fierce, and my nephew must be careful when doing things. I would rather return without success than take risks. According to my wishes... Alas! That's all, that's all.
I hope that my wise nephew will take good care of him and come back safely."
"I will keep Zhang Gong's words in mind." Liu Xiang bowed, said goodbye to Zhang Huai, and returned home.
There is nothing to pack at home. I just got home and my things are still packed in the boxes.
He loaded a few more boxes onto the carriage and headed for the county town.
Not long after, I rushed to the county government office and saw the county government visitor.
The visitor's name was Li Tong, he was more than seven feet tall, in his thirties, and had five strands of long beard. He was a standard handsome guy from the Han Dynasty.
Li Tong didn't care much about Liu Xiang. He just said that the eunuch had called and the plague was imminent, so he urged Liu Xiang to go on his way.
The group of people walked towards Yuyang. They didn't say anything on the way. When they arrived at Yuyang County, it was already late at night.
Li Tong took out the prefect's token, called for the city gate to be opened, and rushed directly to the prefect's mansion without stopping. The prefect Zhang Ju had not rested yet, so he asked Liu Xiang to wait for an interview in the side hall.
There are still more than ten people waiting in the side hall. They are all doctors who were recruited from the army. Some have been waiting here for half a day. For some reason, the prefect did not show up.
Everyone waited for a long time, and several more doctors came one after another. They were all doctors from Yuyang, Hunu, and Anle counties. They all said that the Yuyang plague was coming with a fierce force and broke out very quickly, which was unprecedented in the world.
Others said that the plague had spread throughout the army, and the two camps were completely closed. The sergeants and soldiers in the army were panicked, and they were afraid that they were going to mutiny. The army was in disaster, and the plague was imminent, and the whole Yuyang seemed to be facing an abyss.
Six thousand soldiers are infected with the epidemic. How to treat it? I am afraid that they will die this time, but I just hope that my family will not be implicated. The hall is full of depression.
"You wise men, I have something to say that can relieve everyone's worries." Liu Xiang stood on the table and shouted loudly.
"Who are you? You are so frivolous and dissolute..."
"Shut up. Your life is at stake. You don't know how to work hard to survive. Instead, you are barking here. Do you want to die? Do you want to be punished by the clan?"
Liu Xiang interrupted the doctor's words and had to seize the right to speak as soon as possible. He was the youngest among everyone, even younger than some people's children and grandchildren, and had no prestige at all. If they all criticized him, it would be unfinished.
Gone.
Seeing that they were frightened, Liu Xiang went on to say: "A disaster is approaching. Do you want to kill them at the first sign? Six thousand troops are caught in the plague. The prefect does not ask if it can be cured. The prefect only wants us to cure it. But if something goes wrong, we will be killed."
Landed.
At this moment, we must work together, no longer criticize and blame, and take chances. Only by finding a way to cure the plague can we have a chance of survival."
Hearing Liu Xiang's words, an old man said: "Unless we are willing to do our best, there is nothing we can do."
"This epidemic is extremely ferocious. What can we do? If we are powerless, we can't stop it!" A group of doctors were harassed and lamented, and they all said that they would definitely die. Everyone was depressed, and even those with weak temperaments cried endlessly.
Seeing that everyone was about to get into chaos again, Liu Xiang shouted loudly,
"Shut up!"
Seeing everyone raising their eyes to look at him, he added: "It won't help to lament and hurt myself here. I have a method that can cure the plague, but I need your help. All the wise men are willing to work hard with me, give it a try, and earn a way to survive?"
The old man who had spoken earlier pushed aside the crowd, walked up to Liu Xiang, bowed his hands and said:
"The old man's name is Zhao Pu, and his courtesy name is Guangting. He is now sixty-one years old. He has experienced countless plagues. Many of his neighbors and relatives have been in mourning. Thinking back to this day, it breaks my heart. If Sir, I have a good way to cure the plague, I will be devastated. I would like to share my thoughts with you.
tail!"
Liu Xiang jumped off the desk and returned the greeting:
"Mr. Guangting, I have a good prescription for treating plague. I have been practicing medicine in various places in the past few days and many people have been cured. This time the prefect came to me because he knew that I can cure the plague.
It's just that he is young and has little virtue, and his strength is weak. He needs the help of all the wise men to do great things and turn the tide."
Having said this, Liu Xiang extended his hands in all directions and said: "Please help me all the wise men."
Everyone returned the gift one after another, saying that they would like to have Wing Tail, but no one knows how sincere they are. They are either treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, or they are just following the crowd.
Liu Xiang also knew that it was impossible to win over people's hearts with just a few words, and superficial compliance was enough. He talked to these doctors about how to isolate the path of the plague's spread, and discussed how to use medicine for the patients.
Liu Xiang had never studied Chinese medicine, but the medical concepts he heard about in later generations were truly shocking and unimaginable in the Eastern Han Dynasty two thousand years ago.
When it comes to practicing medicine and giving medicine, Liu Xiang is nothing; when it comes to medical theory, Liu Xiang can boast that the ancients could not find any clues!
The doctors were debating prescriptions and medical theories, and before they knew it, the sky turned white.
Seeing that it was almost dawn but the prefect still did not show up, Liu Xiang said to everyone, "I see that the prefect is busy, so why not write down the methods of dealing with the plague that I have studied before and ask someone to forward it to the prefect."
Everyone spoke highly of the good deeds and made suggestions one after another. They also asked writers who were good at swordsmanship to record it, and Liu Xiang gave a final overview, either adding to it or deleting it.
It didn't take long to write it, and named it "A Note on All Matters Ordered to Prevent and Control the Plague". I summoned the servants in the palace and asked them to forward it to the prefect. Everyone was exhausted by now, so they took a rest in this side hall.
However, Zhang Ju, the prefect of Yuyang, had read "All Matters", handed it to Xian Yuyin, the captain of Yuyang next to him, and said in a deep voice: "This plague is not a trivial matter. Can the camps of the two armies be kept?"
Xian Yuyin's face looked sad, "The governor thought twice, there are two large camps with 6,000 people on foot and on horseback. Although they are infected with the epidemic, their combat power cannot be underestimated. They cannot be stopped or massacred unless they are private soldiers."
