Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 12 The Banner is not rolled Section 7

Chapter 12 The seventh section of the flag is resolutely opposed, she doesn't have the heart to ask about these things now, she only knows to stay by Li Hong's side, guarding Li Hong day and night, lest he suddenly leave her.

Huang Da went to beg Mrs. Xiaoyu and Mrs. Fengxue again. Feng Xue heard that she was going to disembowel, and immediately refused, this method of treatment she had never heard of, compared to her, she believed in the witchcraft of the grassland people and the Taoism of the Central Plains people.

Xiaoyu hesitated for a long time and asked,

"Have you ever healed people in this way?" This sentence stopped Huang Da, and he was stunned for a long time before he said with a wry smile,

"When I studied medicine with Master Hua Tuo, I saw the master use this method to treat people." Xiaoyu sighed, looking disappointed.

Huang Da hurriedly explained,

"Madam, the master treats people, generally based on medicine, supplemented by acupuncture, if the lesions are gathered, acupuncture and medicine can not reach, it is necessary to break the abdomen and back, and extract and accumulate. For a serious illness like a general, if the lesion is in the stomach and intestines, it is necessary to cut off the wound and wash it to remove the filth, and then suture the wound and apply divine ointment, so that the wound can be infatuated within four or five days. If all goes well, it will be cured in more than a month. Huang Da spoke earnestly, bowed down and pleaded,

"Madam, please believe me, I will be able to cure the general. When the master treated this serious illness, I did it to him, and I knew exactly what to do. Xiaoyu sighed for a long time, was miserable, and didn't say a word.

Huang Da begged bitterly,

"Madam, the general's illness cannot be delayed any longer, and if it is delayed any longer, his days are numbered. Instead of watching him die at a loss, give me a chance. God will bless the general, he will not die, absolutely not. Xiaoyu was moved.

Sitting still is not the way to go, you have to fight.

"Are you really sure?" Xiaoyu asked. Huang Da nodded without thinking,

"Disemboweling requires Ma Boiling Powder to relieve pain for patients, but Ma Boiling Powder is a special medicine made by the master, and I don't have it in my hand, so I have never dared to make this suggestion. Yesterday, my friend Changle Daoren arrived in Jinyang, and he had hemp boiling in his hands. As long as there is hemp boiling, I can cure the general. Will Madame give me this opportunity? Xiaoyu was silent for a long time, and decidedly decided to take a risk,

"Ask Zikan to prepare. The eldest princess, I will go and persuade her. Huang Da was overjoyed and left in a hurry. Xiaoyu invited the Left Guard General Lu Bu, the auxiliary general Yan Wuxing, the Duliao general Xu Huang, the Bingzhou Assassin Shi Zhang Baiqi, and the eldest princess Mansion Governor Shi Huangyue and other civil and military ministers to ask for their opinions.

Hearing the news, Yu Liu Bao, the Hun Dadan who rushed to Jinyang, was also invited to the Marquis Mansion of Jinyang.

"That can cure the disease, too?" Liu Bao heard that he was going to give it to the general

"Disemboweled", his face changed at that time.

"Ma'am, is this what the traitor said? I'm going to cut off his head. No, absolutely not. Yan Wuxing and Zhang Baiqi also objected.

Lu Bu, Xu Huang, and Huang Yue supported Mrs. Xiaoyu's suggestion.

"In the Central Plains, Jianghuai and Jingxiang areas, Master Huatuo and his disciples often treat people like this, and I heard that the effect is very good." Lu Bu said,

"Although the method of curing the disease is a bit sensational, then again, people have reached this point where they have to fight no matter what. We can't just watch the general die. ”

"I've decided." Xiaoyu said very resolutely,

"I invited you to come mainly to seek your support and help me persuade the eldest princess and Fengxue together. Now the two of them don't agree, and you both go and persuade them. "The persuasion of the ministers had no effect.

The eldest princess was grief-stricken and insisted on refusing. Lu Bu said, we went to ask the general for advice, and he said what to do, we will do it.

Li Hong agreed, but the eldest princess's words frightened the confident Huang Da,

"If the general has three long and two short, I will destroy your nine clans." Huang Da mustered up the courage to go up, and the others quit.

Wang Zhen, Xi Jian, Fei Changfang and others were worried that Huang Da would kill the general and harm the pond fish, so they spoke out one by one to stop them, not only did they not help, but they also dragged their feet back.

The eldest princess and Fengxue stayed by the general's side day and night, lest Huang Da take the general

"Disemboweled". Li Hong's condition became more and more serious, and he even began to fall into a coma. The eldest princess has no owner, and every inch is in chaos.

At this time, the eldest Sima Xu Rong of Chang'an told the eldest princess that the situation in Chang'an was tense, and asked the eldest princess to do everything possible to prolong the life of the general, at least until the beginning of December, so that she would have enough time to rush to the west to gather the army and complete the deployment of Gongwei Gyeonggi.

Two days later, Jia Xu, the general of the Chinese army, urgently wrote to Jinyang, the battle of Nanyang is very important, the army must capture Wancheng, in order to help the little emperor to stand up in a battle, for this time to gather troops and hoard grain and grass, please the eldest princess no matter how to save the general's life, in order to stabilize the army's heart.

Even if the general unfortunately dies of illness, he must do his best to conceal the news until the end of the Nanyang War. Jia Xu said that His Majesty will lead the army to launch an attack on Nanyang around mid-November, and if everything goes well, the Nanyang Battle is expected to end in three to four months, that is, at least to ensure that the general lives until about April next year, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable.

The eldest princess was cornered, and she had no choice but to pin all her hopes on the imperial physician Ling Huang Da.

Li Hong sat up with the support of light rain and wind and snow, and the eldest princess handed a bottle of medicinal wine to his lips.

Li Hong sniffed lightly, and a smile appeared on his face,

"Is this wine?"

"This is hemp boiling, and after swallowing it with wine, you don't know the pain." Huang Da bowed to the side and said,

"General, it may still hurt a little while a while, but you must endure it."

"Still hurting?" The eldest princess frowned,

"Then take more hemp boiling."

"You can't take more." Huang Da shook his hand again and again,

"The main ingredient of hemp boiling powder is scopole seeds, and eating too much will make people crazy and even delirious. This amount is enough and cannot be added more. The eldest princess was in a hurry, and tears couldn't help rolling out,

"Huang Zijian, are you okay?" Huang Da lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, and he was drenched in cold sweat.

"I believe he ......," Li Hong looked at the eldest princess and whispered,

"What I promised you, I will definitely do it, I won't die......" The eldest princess cried even harder, almost knocking over the medicinal wine in her hand.

The wind and snow held her in her arms, and the two women wept together. With tears in her eyes, Xiaoyu took the medicinal wine and fed it into Li Hong's mouth little by little.

Lu Bu, Yan Wuxing and others walked in. Li Hong smiled at them,

"During the Chinese New Year, we will get drunk again." Lu Bu and the others were so grief-stricken that they fell to their knees. As the sun set, Huang Da, with the support of several doctors, finally staggered in front of everyone.

"I succeeded, the general is still alive, he is still alive......" The eldest princess, Xiaoyu and Fengxue cried with joy.

Lu Bu, Yan Wuxing, Zhang Baiqi and other civil and military officials clapped their hands in celebration and cheered in unison. However, the general's condition did not improve, on the contrary, high fever and coma followed, and the situation became more and more sinister.

Just when people were desperate, a good news came, Master Xiangkai came. He miraculously appeared in Jinyang City on a donkey.

"I can only stabilize the general's condition for the time being, so that it will not deteriorate further." Master Xiangkai said helplessly,

"If you want to cure him, you must find Hua Tuo or Zhang Ji, today, except for the two of them, I'm afraid no one can save the general anymore." The eldest princess wept bitterly.

"Kid, the general won't die." Master Xiangkai persuaded,

"I once watched the sky at night, and found that the purple microstar is becoming more and more brilliant, and the Wuqu star is still dazzling although the light is a little less, but it is still dazzling. Master Xiangkai is famous all over the world, and his words have given everyone a lot of confidence, but in the face of the facts, everyone is still like heavy lead and panicked.

Two days later, Yuzhou Dangkou General Lei Zhong sent an urgent report with an 800-mile fast horse, Master Huatuo found it, and Master Zhang Ji was also very lucky to fall into the hands of the Han army, and now the two masters are traveling north to Jinyang day and night.

The eldest princess was ecstatic. Yan Wuxing and Xu Huang each brought a thousand iron horses and galloped to greet each other. In October, Chang'an.

The Son of Heaven decreed that the great Sima Xu Rong inspected the western frontier, and the hussar general Zhao Yun led the general military, led the Shangshutai, and acted as an agent for state affairs.

This holy decree immediately shook Chang'an, and in a short period of time, the rumor that the general had died of illness quietly spread throughout Chang'an.

On October 22, Zhao Yun led some ministers of civil and military affairs to bid farewell to Xu Rong in the Shili Long Pavilion.

"Jin Yang is secretive about the general's illness, and His Majesty asked you to act as an agent for state affairs, which is to some extent equivalent to admitting that the general is no longer good." Xu Rong looked back at Chang'an City and sighed,

"Zilong, can you suppress Chang'an?" Zhao Yunjian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his eyes showed a look of fortitude,

"Da Sima worked tirelessly and rushed to the western Xinjiang in person, and used the western Liang Iron Cavalry to deter Guanzhong, and Jinggi will definitely have no worries." Xu Rong glanced at him in surprise,

"Are you so confident?" Zhao Yun smiled confidently,

"What do you have to say?" Xu Rong groaned slightly, then looked at Taiwei Zhang Yan, who was standing in the distance chatting with Zhang He and Zhu Mu, and said in a low voice: "The purpose of Xiao Tianzi abandoning Chang'an and insisting on mobilizing a large army to attack Nanyang is self-evident, but one of the purposes is obviously to create an opportunity for Chang'an to get out of the crisis. The same is true for the purpose of my visit to Western Xinjiang, because the current situation in Western Xinjiang can only deter Chang'an, not support Chang'an by force. Once Chang'an is in turmoil, I must first ensure that the Western Liang Army is not chaotic and ensure the stability of the Western Xinjiang, and then I can take care of the Beijing Division, but at that time, even if I want to advance eastward to support, I will be constrained by the serious shortage of grain and grass, and I will not be able to defend Gyeonggi with all my might. Therefore, whether or not we can seize the opportunity created by Xiao Tianzi has become the key to solving the crisis in Chang'an. Zhao Yun nodded, and looked at Zhang Yan with Xu Rong's gaze,

"Lord Taiwei always thought that after you left, His Majesty would let the Prime Minister act as an agent for state affairs, but now it suddenly becomes me, what will he think?"

"Feiyan's background limits his opportunities to display his talents, and he has a clear understanding of this, and he will not have any contradictions with you because of this." Xu Rong smiled slightly,

"Zilong, are you still worried about Lord Taiwei about the matter of Chang'an's military advice back then?" Zhao Yun laughed.

Xu Rong glanced at him meaningfully, and said slowly: "There is another reason why I went to Western Xinjiang. I have a special relationship with Feiyan and Qizhi (Yang Feng), and it is very inappropriate for me to stay in Chang'an at this time. Zhao Yun comprehended and bowed down to be taught.

On October 24, the eldest princess wrote to the imperial court that under the careful treatment of the imperial physician Ling Huang Da, the general's condition was effectively controlled.

In addition, Master Xiangkai has arrived in Jinyang, and Master Huatuo is also traveling north day and night, and the general's body is expected to recover.

This news made the imperial court excited, and the rumors about the death of the general were self-defeating. On the same day, Zhao Yun took Xu Shao and Xiaolan as special envoys to visit the generals in Jinyang on behalf of the imperial court, and ordered Zhang Liao, the captain of Sili, and He Lin, the captain of the city gate, to lead a thousand guards to escort the two to Pubanjin, and then Yuan Ba, the Taishou of Hedong, sent people to escort them to Jinyang.

In the following days, Zhao Yun and the imperial historian Xun You, Ting Weiqing Chen Qun and others frequently met with the family of gate lords and wealthy merchants, and re-appointed Dong Zhao, Liu Yi and other Yanzhou celebrities, Xin Bi, Wang Lang, Hua Xin, Han Song, Yang Xiu, Gao Tanglong and other ministers were promoted, and a group of deposed bureaucrats such as Lizhong also re-entered the official office, and Kong Rong, Zhang Miao and other former protégés and disciples of the former Qingyan Confucianism were also recruited into the court in large numbers.

Zhao Yunzuo invited the Son of Heaven to defeat Nanyang, and ministers such as Yang Feng, Yuan Yao, and Wang Dang had an unshirkable responsibility and should be severely punished.

The Son of Heaven played on the spot, dismissed Yang Feng's general Che Cai, Yuan Yao's General Pingnan, and Wang Dang's General Long Xiang, and demoted the rest of the generals to use.

Zhao Yun played again, at the beginning, the Great Sima and the Taiwei strongly opposed the attack on Nanyang, but Prime Minister Li Wei resolutely supported it, and the Prime Minister was jointly and severally responsible for the defeat of Nanyang.

The Son of Heaven reprimanded Prime Minister Li Wei for his guilt, fined him for one year, and deprived him of the right to participate in Shangshu affairs.

Zhao Yun then continued to the table, today's son is in power, and he should centralize power in Shangshutai and reduce the number of auxiliary ministers.

The Son of Heaven quasi-played, and removed the Taifu Liu He, the Taiwei Zhang Yan, and the Imperial History Daxun Yu from the right to participate in the affairs of Shangshu.

State affairs were handled by the great Sima Xu Rong, the hussar general Zhao Yun and the monk Shang Shu Ling Tian Chou. After this holy decree arrived in Chang'an, everyone in the court was shocked.

Within a few days, Zhao Yun made a series of heavy moves and monopolized power. In early November, before Zhao Yun could wake up from the central ministers, he issued successive orders in the name of the Son of Heaven to recruit and transfer the army.

Zhong Xuan, the general of the expedition to the south, immediately went south to Yuzhou and commanded the first-line armies of Luyang and Qingyang. General Yan Liang led 20,000 southern troops to immediately leave Wuguan and prepare to attack Nanyang.

General Yu Poison led the fourth battalion of the Northern Army to immediately withdraw from the Longnan battlefield and rushed to Wuguan to meet General Yan Liang.

Removed Zhang Xiu's Hongnong Taishou from his post, worshiped him as the general of Jianwu, and asked him to immediately rush to Luoyang to meet the right general Wen Chou, and lead the army to attack Nanyang with the Son of Heaven.

Ordered Yang Hua, the general of Lou Chuan, to lead the main force of the naval division to the east, and join the Qingji naval division in the area of Laizhou Bay in Bohai, Qingzhou, expand and retrain the Han naval division, and prepare to recover Jiangdong.

Zhao Yun took the opportunity of the Son of Heaven to attack Nanyang and transferred all the troops in the Gyeonggi area, and Chang'an and Luoyang were gone.

Prime Minister Li Wei, Taiwei Zhang Yan and other ministers opposed it in unison.

"Your Majesty wants to build a war, how can you fight Nanyang without troops?" Zhao Yun blocked their mouths with a word.
