29. Lumbar protrusion
Two months ago, the largest group of yellow turban thieves in Yizhou invaded Yongning from Jiangyang County, and its first name was Xu Xi, who had been in trouble for many years, and was one of the top criminals in the imperial court and Liu Zhang's reward of 1,000 taels of gold and the sealing of the Neihou.
After several battles, although they won, they failed to inflict heavy losses on the Yellow Turban bandits, but instead made them hide in the mountains and turned into zero, and sent small groups of thieves to attack and disturb the grain roads of the officers and soldiers or loot the places.
It's a pity that although the bureau set up a traitor to find out, but the traitor has some backbone, he would rather die than recruit, and finally he will be tortured but die, and the rest of the traitors are still ambushed, and the rest of the traitors are more cautious and difficult to detect, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to divide the army into several parts to guard the county, and he first returned to Jiangzhou to deal with some important matters and supervise the grain and grass by the way.
You have to deal with Liu Zhang's constraints, you have to be careful of the yellow scarf messing up, and you have to beware of the ulterior motives of the villains around you, and Zhao Zhen is very distressed in the face of an increasingly complicated situation.
Of course, Liu Qi will not sit idly by, not only out of personal friendship with Zhao Zhen, the grace of volunteer help, but also he has already decided to follow Li Mao's advice, let Zhao Zhen stay in Yongning, for the stability of his own rear, he must also exterminate this group of yellow turban thieves, at least they will not dare to commit Yongning again.
When it comes to internal traitors, Liu Qi first locked on Yan's family, but Zhao Zhen did not believe Liu Hong's internal intelligence, although Yan Yan and Zhao Zhen were inseparable from the battle for military power, but Yan Yan's strict military discipline and strict discipline were not committed to the people, and Yan Yan himself also hated the Yellow Turban thief very much, so not only Zhao Zhen, his confidants also called Yan Yan's name of loyalty and righteousness was widely spread among the people, and it was impossible to fornicate with the thief.
Zhao Zhen and the others are not familiar with Liu Hong, but Liu Qi knows that with Liu Hong's seriousness, he will never report the information without analysis and filtering, and Yan Yan's personality actually does not matter, because he is not the only one in his family, not everyone is active under his nose all day long, especially those Yan clansmen from Guling, under the command of their former family master, they can completely bypass Yan Yan to probe the military situation and report to the Yellow Turban thieves.
In this way, the whole thing is very clear, Guling Yan Zhan, who has a history of colluding with people to make trouble, repeats his old tricks, and uses his cronies who have moved into the Yan Yan clan as the internal thief, intending to turn Yongning upside down and complain, so that Liu Zhang can take the opportunity to intervene again, and Yan Zhan can fish in troubled waters to benefit from it.
Liu Qineng's imagination of the ambitious Yan Zhan's wishful thinking, the best result is naturally to take advantage of the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army and the official army led by Zhao Zhen, Yan took the opportunity to seize Yan Yan's military power with the support of Liu Zhang, defeated the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and replaced Zhao Zhen and the Li family behind him in one fell swoop.
Even if it fails, it can greatly weaken the foundation of Zhao Zhen and the Li family, who rely on military power, which can be described as beneficial and harmless.
It is not difficult to prove whether it is really Yan's troublemaker, at Liu Qi's insistence, Zhao Zhen will gather the soldiers with suspicious fanfare to load and unload ordnance, grain and grass, and set off from the south gate in the middle of the night out of the city, soon, the guards who secretly closely monitored the guards found that a city gate official left the city gate under the pretext of leaving the city gate, sneaked into the back door of a very ordinary house at the foot of the city wall, and returned to the city gate after staying for a while, and the whole process was just a cup of tea.
And there was a person in the inconspicuous family who quietly climbed over the wall and disappeared into the cobweb-like alley, even the guards who had been prepared for a long time couldn't keep up with their tracks at all, and they were escaped by the prey in the blink of an eye, fortunately, the power of hundreds of guards was beyond the reach of one person no matter what, and two people took turns to monitor every section of the wall and every dog hole in the Yan family's mansion, and the person was still found when he climbed over the @ wall and entered.
After the rooster crows in the early morning, the side door of the Yan family's mansion is wide open, and the people go out to start their work as usual, unaware that they are stared at by several eyes, even the few small cars that go out of the city to dump feces.
The meticulousness of the guards was rewarded with the best, and sure enough, not long after the cars were out of the city, one of the men who was driving the cart changed his previous listless and lethargic appearance, and galloped south on a healthy horse mixed with the mules and horses pulling the carts.
Ten miles away, under the siege and interception of Zhao Zhen's personal guards, the dead man resisted fiercely, and committed suicide after having no hope of escaping.
Not surprisingly, no one recognized the person, and only a very brief letter of informant was found on him, from which no information could be obtained about the writer and the recipient.
For this fruitless action, Zhao Zhen and the others were extremely annoyed, and scolded this treacherous and cunning, but Liu Qi didn't care about it, this little trick to lure the snake out of the hole could target them on Yan's body, if it weren't for Zhao Zhen's lack of clues and didn't make any moves for many days, Yan relaxed his vigilance, if it weren't for the backwardness of communication conditions, how could Yan's be exposed so quickly.
If the Yan clan is exposed, they can avoid internal disagreement and disperse the already small amount of manpower and material resources.
There is no conclusive evidence to use force to ensure that it will not arouse Yan Yan's resistance, the aftermath is a big trouble, Yan Yan is an official appointed by Liu Zhang himself after all, no one dares to ensure that Liu Zhang, who has always been weak, does not lose his temper, no matter how strong Zhao Zhen and the Li family are, they can't confront the entire Yizhou with the strength of a county, and it is not yet time to turn his face with Liu Zhang.
Moreover, there was only a song of personal guards and 200 men and horses who returned to Jiangzhou with Zhao Zhen, and the remaining garrison in Jiangzhou was only about 500, and all of them were old and weak or new pawns.
The strong attack did not succeed, only outwitted, Liu Qi proposed to immediately collect the detailed information of all the people in the Yan family, and the style of the Yan family in Guling was very different, so that Liu Qi was sure that the Yan family was definitely not monolithic.
Sure enough, Liu Qi found some clues in the intelligence collected in the preliminary side knock, after the Yan family moved into Jiangzhou, many people in the lower clan were deliberately supported by Liu Zhang, serving as important officials at all levels, and most of them were in the Yan Yan lineage at the beginning, but in recent years, many people have been replaced by the same clan of the Guling lineage, and the replaced person is undoubtedly Liu Qi's key target.
The Yan family moved into Jiangzhou for a short time, and their rapid rise was already hated by the local upper class in Jiangzhou, and some people in the clan got carried away and did not know how to advance or retreat, and conflicts with the locals in Jiangzhou were inevitable.
However, under Liu Qi's guidance, they didn't even have direct contact with key targets, and only from the mouths of officials, kabuki, restaurant guys and other people they often corresponded to, valuable information was easily obtained.
As Liu Qi expected, the one line that Gu Ling moved into in the Yan Yan clan inherited the strength and ambition of the former head of the family, not only competing for power and profit with outsiders, but also treating Yan Yan's "own people" in this line equally, never letting go of those who can fight, and intervening in exchange for some benefits if they can't fight, so the one and two veins that are intimate in front of outsiders are almost like fire and water in private, and Yan Yan has to let go again and again in order to take care of his face, and he struggles to maintain it.
Yan Yan suffers from a leg disease, which is getting more and more serious this year, and the people in the Guling line are even more arrogant, and they have openly asked Yan Yan to give up the position of the head of the family, so the two sides have also fought hard.
Hehe, there is a breakthrough, how to start, the story of Zhou Yu earning Jiang Gan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms gave Liu Qi inspiration, and Zhao Zhen and his subordinates soon perfected the plan and acted separately.
So soon it was reported that Zhao Taishou suddenly suffered from a leg disease and was bedridden, and the doctor Cao Pengshi Fu Hao invited a young miracle doctor, who was very skilled, and it only took two hours to completely cure Zhao Taishou.
Yan Yan's brother-in-law Deng Fu was in the medical hall opened by Fu Hao on weekdays to grab medicine for Yan Yan, and soon learned of this, Yan Yan's illness was the same as Zhao Taishou, or even more serious, after confirming from Fu Hao's mouth, Deng Fu was ecstatic, and hurriedly went home to tell Yan Yan.
The so-called miracle doctor is Liu Qi, even if the reputation left in history is aside, Yan Yan did not participate in collaborating with the enemy, and his reputation on weekdays is much stronger than that of the head of the family in Guling, so Liu Qi wants to help him, and more importantly, as a key person in the plan, Yan Yan is always bedridden.
Yan Yan, a famous doctor near and far, has seen it, and it doesn't have much effect, the highest medical skill in Jiangzhou is Zhao Zhen, but Zhao Zhen is too guarded, and treating diseases is naturally not the main business, if close relatives and friends can also enjoy Zhao Zhen's personal diagnosis and treatment, it is rare for others to have such an opportunity, not to mention Yan Yan, who has always had a tense relationship.
Jiangzhou City's medical skills are second only to Zhao Zhen is the doctor Cao Peng Shi Fu Hao, Fu Hao has personally diagnosed and treated Yan Yan several times, Liu Qi can understand Yan Yan's condition in detail, Yan Yan's main symptoms are waist pain and inability to stand upright, violent spasms in the back of the thigh when walking, according to the modern medicine of later generations is lumbar disc herniation.
Liu Qi is also worried, even in the 21st century, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is extremely difficult to treat, Western medicine believes that the root cause of lumbar disc herniation is that the patient's waist is uneven for a long time, resulting in vertebral deformation, intervertebral disc medullary ring rupture causes nucleus pulposus prolapse and compresses the nerve, there is no way to deal with this disease except for surgery to remove the prolapsed nucleus pulposus, but the operation has a great chance of failure and disability, especially the recurrence rate of more than ninety percent of people are distorted of this disease.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease stems from the lack of kidney qi, resulting in musculoskeletal weakness, and the patient's long-term heavy physical labor or improper sitting posture and other factors increase the burden on the waist muscles, and the muscle strain gradually forms inflammation, and finally swelling and compresses the meridians.
For the pathological demonstration of this disease, Liu Qi feels that it is obviously accurate in traditional Chinese medicine, and the patient only feels pain when he moves, but there is no pain when he lies still, which is enough to prove that the cause lies in the muscles, so whether it is to use traction massage to treat patients with mild conditions or acupuncture to treat severe patients, the effect is far stronger than that of Western medical surgery.
Although Liu Qi had seen his grandfather treat patients with this disease before, and he could clearly remember all the arguments and treatment processes for this disease after a little recollection, Liu Qi's hands still trembled involuntarily at the thought of presiding over the treatment himself.
