Spring passed to summer solstice. In the past two months, several major events happened in the world. First of all, the Yellow Turban army, which had already arrived at Shouchun City, signed an alliance with Emperor Zhong Yuan Shu. After the alliance, 300,000 people
The Yellow Turban Army returned with a staggering amount of gold and silver, which Yuan Shu had used to "labor the army" 400,000 dans of grain and grass, and exited Yangzhou territory.
Another thing was that Cao Cao took the initiative to order Han Sui, who was preparing to launch an attack on Luoyang, to retreat and return Hulao Pass to Qin Yang. Qin Yang was not polite and re-sent Ma Teng to garrison Hulao Pass. At this time, Ma Teng
Teng was seriously injured due to the dispute with Han Sui, so he simply joined Qin Yang's command like Gongsun Zan and became the general of the Yellow Turban Army. The entire Xiliang land also belonged to Qin Yang.
After these two things, the northern war that was about to break out suddenly came to nothing. Those southern princes who were waiting to reap the benefits of the northern war were disappointed and couldn't help but start to feel insecure. Everyone understands
, the two strong men in the north will never be content with the status quo. If the two do not fight each other, then they will definitely covet the large territory in the south.
The first to take action was Liu Biao of Jingzhou. Liu Bei had brought His Majesty the Emperor Xian of the Han Empire to Jingzhou from Xuchang, and Jingzhou City was designated as the temporary imperial capital of the Han Empire. Liu Bei and Liu Biao, one in charge of the government and the other in charge of the army, would
The banner of the Han Empire was raised high again. Sun Ce, who was gaining momentum in Jiangdong, was granted the title of Marquis of Wu, making Sun Ce take charge of the military and political power in Jiangdong. Liu Zhang of Yizhou in Xichuan was granted the title of Marquis of Shu, and Lu Bu of Xuzhou was granted the title of Marquis of Xuzhou.
, ordered Lu Bu to mobilize the Xuzhou army stationed in Lingbi to continue the crusade against Zhong Emperor Yuan Shu.
Not only that. Liu Bei also sent two edicts from the Emperor of Han to Hanzhong and Jizhou respectively. Liu Bei knew very well that the attitudes of these two people were particularly important now. Whether they recognized the orthodox status of the Han Empire would have a great impact on the current situation.
big.
Hanzhong City, the residence of Prince Huangjin Ming.
This time Qin Yang allied with the princes of the world to send troops. Although they won successive victories and successfully extended their tentacles to the hinterland of the Central Plains, they did not finally kill the two emperors Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. So in Qiao
Under Xuan's harsh questioning of half-truths and half-falsehoods, Qin Yang could only bid farewell to his "future father-in-law" and return to his house in despair amid the disappointed eyes of Erqiao sisters.
In fact, for Qin Yang, he and Er Qiao sisters have feelings and righteousness. If he insisted, Qiao Xuan might not be able to stop him. But Qin Yang did not do that.
The reason is very simple, that is Cai Yan. The melodious sound of the piano like flowing water came from the back house of Prince Huangjin Ming's residence, and Qin Yang's mood was also moved by the sound of the piano.
When the Yellow Turban Army was still under Shouchun City, a mysterious old man suddenly came to the Golden Summit tent. As soon as he saw Qin Yang's face, he aggressively asked Qin Yang to call him "Master"...
Qin Yang also had to be in awe of this "cheap master". Not only did he show extraordinary strength in front of Qin Yang, but the most important point was that he actually used a magical spell to stop Cai Yan's body.
The rapid passage of vitality helped Cai Yan recover from the state of "living like years" after being seriously injured.
It's just that he came too late. Even though Cai Yan's life has stopped passing, his appearance is fixed at that of an old woman in her sixties. Now Cai Yan is living in the back house of the mansion. If it weren't for Qin Yang
If you persist in this way, I am afraid that Cai Yan has already left to find a place to live his whole life. At this moment, Qin Yang was afraid that something would happen that would irritate Cai Yan. So although he was rejected in Qiao's house today, Qin Yang secretly grew something in his heart.
Take a breath.
"Your Highness, the edict from the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has arrived..."
Just when Qin Yang was standing by the garden of the mansion, immersed in his own thoughts, Guo Jia walked in from the outside, came to Qin Yang and said softly.
"Edict?" Qin Yang suddenly came to his senses and casually took the edict in Guo Jia's hand.
After reading it, Qin Yang couldn't help but smile and said lightly: "I didn't expect that the once arrogant Han Empire has now even the emperor become a plaything in the hands of these people. First Dong Zhuo, Dong Xiangguo, then Cao Cao, Prime Minister Cao, and now
Another great uncle of the Han Dynasty has come to make Liu Bei the king of Han. But now that the emperor is in the hands of Liu Bei, he is becoming less and less valuable..."
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Although it is not valuable, he is still the nominal co-owner of the world. I wonder whether we will accept this edict or not?"
Qin Yang pondered for a moment and asked: "Cao Cao should have received the same edict, right? Liu Bei has not removed him from the position of prime minister of the empire. It seems that he is deliberately trying to win over him and want him to recognize the orthodoxy of the Han Empire.
position."
Guo Jia nodded and said: "Your Highness, it is clear that according to reliable information, Liu Bei has also issued the same edict to Cao Cao, asking Cao Cao to send the head of the traitor Yuan Shao to Jingzhou."
"Send Yuan Shao's head?!" Qin Yang's heart moved. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Liu Bei is as scary as a hunter when he is smart, but he is as naive as a child. Yuan Shao is now a member of the Northern Four in name only.
The head of the master of the state is more valuable than the emperor of the Han Empire! Cao Cao will definitely not agree to such conditions. It is so perfect. Then you can help me reply to Uncle Liu and tell him that I, Qin Yang, accept the imperial edict and will rule under my rule.
Hanzhong, Guanzhong, Xiliang and Yuzhou are all under the banner of His Majesty the Great Han Xian Emperor!"
"Your Highness is wise." Guo Jia saw that Qin Yang had made a decision and immediately prepared to follow the order.
Seeing that Guo Jia was about to turn around and leave, Qin Yang couldn't help but suddenly felt something in his heart. He stopped Guo Jia and said, "Commander, has there been any result about what I asked you to inquire about?"
Guo Jiayi looked at Qin Yang in confusion and said, "What is your Highness talking about? Well, since Military Advisor Jia and Military Advisor Xi left, there was indeed some slight turmoil in the army, but it has calmed down now. Your Highness, please
But rest assured, as long as His Highness is here, the morale of our Yellow Turban Army will not be in chaos."
Qin Yang's expression darkened, he shook his head and said, "Stop pretending to be confused with me, you know what I want to ask!"
Seeing that Qin Yang was about to get angry, Guo Jia had no choice but to say: "The matter does have some clues, but..."
Qin Yang's eyes lit up, he quickly grabbed Guo Jia's hand and asked, "Tell me quickly. Tell me in detail."
Guo Jia hesitated for a moment and then said truthfully: "According to our army's scout report, a doctor who knows the art of rejuvenation was recently discovered in Xuchang City. According to legend, this man is a disciple of the miracle doctor Mr. Hua Tuo. This incident even alarmed Cao Cao
, Cao Cao specially sent someone to Xuchang to ask him to take up a post in Jizhou, but this man was quite aloof. He only hung a pot in the city of Xuchang to help the world, and he was a general practitioner for everyone, whether they were from aristocratic or poor families. And I also heard that, except for Cao Cao,
In addition, various forces want to win over this person. After all, there are too few people in the world who can possess the art of rejuvenation."
"What is this man's name? Where does he practice medicine?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Please don't mention this person's name. No one knows even his appearance. He bought a large house in Xuchang City specifically for the purpose of practicing medicine and giving alms. Although he often visited the clinic, there was no one there.
I’ve seen his appearance.”
"Mysterious, I always feel a little unreliable..." Qin Yang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard Guo Jia's introduction. After muttering in a low voice, he asked again: "Is there any news about Mr. Hua Tuo?
"
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Mr. Hua Tuo's trace is uncertain. So far, no one has found out about him. However, many people speculate that this famous doctor in Xuchang is so mysterious. It is very likely that Mr. Hua Tuo is practicing medicine in disguise.
maybe……"
"Practice medicine in disguise?" Qin Yang shook his head and smiled faintly. Since he was practicing medicine in disguise, he didn't want others to know who he was, but he just put up the sign "Disciple of the miracle doctor Hua Tuo". Presumably this is also a person unwilling to be lonely.
man of.
But when I think about it, some people would speculate that the doctor in Xuchangzhong was probably Hua Tuo in disguise. This also shows from another aspect that this person's medical skills are extremely superb. Maybe he really knows the legendary rejuvenation technique.
…
Seeing Qin Yang's eyes flickering, Guo Jia couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, could you be..."
The light in Qin Yang's eyes flickered. He smiled and said: "Military advisor, after I leave, the military affairs of Hanzhong will be handed over to you. Oh, by the way, please help me and Mr. Ma, Zhang Baiqi and the others tell them that this time I leave
I will be back in a month or half a month at most, so let them not worry. In addition, if you know this, please don't spread it."
Seeing Guo Jia's grimace and what he wanted to say, Qin Yang immediately turned around and left without giving him a chance to speak. As he walked, Qin Yang said, "Don't worry, I will take Zilong and Guan Hai with me."
They are traveling together. If anything happens, just ask the scouts from Xuchang to contact me."
As he spoke, Qin Yang's figure had disappeared from Guo Jia's sight, leaving Guo Jia alone in a daze.
There is an extremely elegant courtyard in the back house of Huangjin Prince Ming's residence. Qin Yang vaguely remembers that a few years ago, this was the boudoir of Zhang Ning, the saint of the Yellow Turban sect. The refreshing and melodious sound of the piano came from that room.
After hurriedly reaching the door, Qin Yang stopped suddenly. After taking a deep breath, his face instantly changed to a cheerful expression.
"Squeak!" The door was gently pushed open by Qin Yang. When Qin Yang stopped abruptly, Qin Yang's excited voice sounded from the door: "Yan'er, I have found a miracle doctor who can cure you! Hurry!
Pack up and we’ll set off right now…”
Yizhou, the land of Bashu, Qingcheng Mountain.
Although this place has beautiful scenery and looks like a fairyland, it is far away from the Central Plains and seems a little lonely. However, recently, the small village at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain has suddenly become lively. Officials from all over the central Sichuan have car frames and honor guards arriving one after another, just like a pilgrimage.
.
Outside a relatively prosperous private house at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, there are many soldiers standing guard. This place has been requisitioned by Liu Zhang, the Marquis of Shu of the Han Empire, who has just been conferred as a temporary Marquis Mansion.
At this moment, the officials of Yizhou were gathering in the slightly small hall. A man dressed as a civil servant bowed to the middle-aged man sitting at the head and said: "My lord, you have condescended to come here.
You gave that guy a lot of face. What's more, you went up to the mountain to visit him twice with the dignity of a marquis. I think this man is just a person seeking fame, so I don't dare to come out of the mountain."
A military general with a hideous scar on his face immediately stood up and retorted: "My lord, Master Zhang Song has never seen Mr. Xi's ability, but I, Yan Yan, have seen and experienced it with my own eyes. Mr. Xi is indeed the best in the world.
What a rare talent for Wang Zuo! Now that Mr. Xi has left the Yellow Turban Army and comes to Xichuan, this is a great opportunity given by God to make great contributions to my lord! Please think twice, lord!"
The middle-aged man who was called the lord by Yan Yan hesitated slightly, nodded and said: "General Yan Yan is right. I have long heard that Xi Zhicai has a reputation for being arrogant. Even Qin Yang suppressed him.
Don't stop. If I want him to help me, I must be Corporal Li Xian. You don't need to say anything anymore. Tomorrow I will go to Qingcheng Mountain to ask Mr. Xi to serve me in Xichuan."
