Chapter 12 Banner is not volume 6

"My lord, I didn't lie to you, Master Huatuo is in Cao Cao's camp in Xiao County." The scout was anxious and shouted,

"This is news from the disciples of Dazhitang, and they are trying to find a way to rescue Master Huatuo."

"Rescue?" Lei Zhong asked in surprise,

"Cao Cao arrested him?"

"The specifics are not clear." The scout said,

"The disciples of Dazhitang said that they are weak and have little chance of success, and they hope to get help from adults."

"Help, I don't just want to help them......" Lei Zhong said excitedly,

"I'm going to kill the past, if I don't rescue Master Huatuo, I'll kill all the way to Pengcheng."

"Order the generals of all departments to go to the camp immediately to discuss." Cao Cao's army confronted Wei Xu in Shanyang, Yanzhou, and Meng Si in Suiyang, Yuzhou, in the area of Peicheng and Xiaoxian in Peiguo.

Cao Cao himself is in Xiao County, in recent months because

The "head wind" disease attacked, the pain was unbearable, and people were sent around to find famous doctors. There are three of the most famous medical craftsmen in Jingxiang and Jianghuai, one is Zhang Ji (Zhang Zhongjing) from Nanyang, one is Huatuo from Yuzhou, and the other is Zuo Ci from Lujiang, Yangzhou.

Hua Tuo and Cao Cao are fellow villagers, and they also knew each other in their early years, but Hua Tuo practiced medicine everywhere, and his tracks were erratic and difficult to find.

Zhang Ji is now the Taishou of Changsha, and without the Xiangyang Holy Decree, of course Zhang Ji would not leave Changsha and go north to Xuzhou without authorization in order to treat Cao Cao alone.

Zuo Ci was a monk, famous for his immortal arts and alchemy, and in terms of medical skills, he was inferior to Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo.

Cao Cao had a splitting headache and couldn't be a director, and the situation in Jianghuai was very tense, so he urgently wrote to Liu Biao in Xiangyang, asking him to take into account the overall situation, find an excuse to make an order, and let Changsha Taishou Zhang Ji go north to Xuzhou to see a doctor for himself.

Before Zhang Ji arrived, Hua Tuo appeared and was invited to Xiao County. Hua Tuo's two-pronged use of medicinal decoction and acupuncture quickly alleviated Cao Cao's condition, but Cao Cao had lingering palpitations about this stubborn disease that had tormented him for many years, worried that he would die at any time, and hoped that Hua Tuo would find a way to cure it.

Hua Tuo said that if you want to cure this disease, it is best to dissect the skull and remove the lesion. Cao Cao knew that he was good at disemboweling and disemboweling people to treat terminal diseases, but this was the first time he had heard of a craniotomy.

If you open your head, how can you not die? Hua Tuo said, of course, there are risks associated with craniotomy, but I can guarantee that you will not die after a craniotomy.

Cao Cao didn't dare to take the risk and immediately refused. Hua Tuo wanted to leave, Cao Cao disagreed, and graciously retained,

"It's a war now, it's dangerous everywhere, so you better stay here." Hua Tuo didn't listen and insisted on leaving.

Cao Cao was angry.

"If you die, there will be one less famous doctor in the Han. Many people will die because of it, and I will feel guilty. Hua Tuo scoffed,

"No matter how many people I heal, it's not enough for you to kill." Cao Cao was furious, slapped the case, and ordered his subordinates to arrest Hua Tuo and several of his disciples.

A few days later, Lei Zhong led an army of 20,000 to the Bishui River, and Meng Si, who was stationed in Suiyang, also led an army of 10,000 to join him.

The Han army then launched an attack on the Xuzhou army. The Han army and the Xuzhou army have always maintained a state of confrontation, in the Jiangdong army Chen Binghuai River threatened Yuzhou, the Jingzhou army was attacking Yingchuan, Lei Chong was desperate, led the main force to attack Xiao County, obviously an extremely wrong defensive strategy.

Cao Cao and his subordinate martial arts officials all thought that Lei Chong would not make such a low-level mistake, and the reason why he suddenly attacked Xiao County was most likely for Master Hua Tuo.

The news of Li Hong's serious illness had already reached Cao Cao's hands, and he also knew that Lei Chong had been sending people to find Master Huatuo, and from these abnormal signs at present, it was inferred that Li Hong's condition might be aggravated and in danger, and he urgently needed to be treated by a famous doctor.

Cao Cao decided to kill Hua Tuo. It is better to kill three thousand by mistake than to miss a single person. Cheng Yu, Mao Jue, Guo Jia and others strongly opposed it.

Master Hua Tuo is famous in the sea, and if he is killed for no reason, it will definitely lead to the wrath of the heavens and the resentment. Cheng Yu said, just lock him up, you can't kill him.

However, the people of Dazhitang infiltrated the camp to rescue Master Huatuo for several nights, and once even ran into Cao Cao's military tent by mistake and almost assassinated him.

Cao Cao was furious and ordered Hua Tuo to be killed. At this moment, Changsha Taishou Zhang Ji hurried to Cao Cao's camp and rescued Hua Tuo at the last moment.

Zhang Ji was born in a family in Nanyang, studied under the famous doctor Zhang Bozong of the same sect, and traveled to the Quartet when he was young. Nanyang celebrity He Hao once commented on Zhang Ji and said it

"Jun with fine thinking and rhyme is not high, the future will be a good doctor", he was very highly evaluated, since then famous, and was raised by the county guard filial piety.

Ten years ago, Jingxiang and Jianghuai broke out in succession

"Typhoid fever", seven or eight out of ten, Zhang Ji and doctors and craftsmen from all over the country tried their best to treat it, and his reputation was greatly enhanced.

After Liu Biao stabilized Xiangyang, he worshiped him as the Taishou of Changsha, and Zhang Ji's prestige immediately surpassed that of Hua Tuo, Zuo Ci and others.

Zhang Ji knew why Cao Cao killed Hua Tuo, so while interceding for Hua Tuo, he raised his hand and swore that he would take Hua Tuo to Changsha and never let him go north to Chang'an.

Cao Cao's killing of Hua Tuo was purely a helpless move, and now that there is Zhang Ji's plea and guarantee, he is also happy to be a favor and agrees.

Zhang Ji left some treatment

The prescription and medicine of "Head Wind" took Hua Tuo with him. Hua Tuo was very angry and scolded Cao Cao for being wolf-hearted and dog-hearted.

"Lord Cao also has a last resort." Zhang Ji persuaded,

Li Hong has been seriously ill for several months, and his life is in danger. The Son of Heaven of Chang'an issued an edict to the officials of Yuzhou, ordering them to find you at all costs. That's the real reason why Lord Cao killed you. Hua Tuo suddenly realized.

"Have you treated Li Hong?" Zhang Ji asked.

"That was five years ago." Hua Tuo sighed,

"At that time, I told him that he must not go to the battlefield again, otherwise his life will be in danger, but it is a pity that ......" Hua Tuo frequently looked north, sighing.

"You can't go north now." Zhang Ji saw through Hua Tuo's mind at a glance,

"It's true that it's right to treat the disease and save people, but the problem is that Li Hong's survival is related to the safety of the society, and it is not something you can save if you want to. Cao Cao's people are watching from behind, as long as you go north, you will be killed. Hua Tuo smiled bitterly,

"Even if I go, I may not be saved. He is a good person, it's a pity to die, it's a pity to die......" The news that Zhang Ji had taken Hua Tuo away was quickly discovered by the disciples of Dazhitang, and they immediately asked Lei Zhong for help.

Without hesitation, Lei Zhong sent a thousand elites, day and night, straight into the hinterland of Xia Pi State, and successfully intercepted near Xiaqiu.

Both Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo were intercepted by the Han army. Lei Chong was overjoyed, and while riding 800 miles to report to Jinyang, he wrote to the counties along the way, asking officials from all over the country to arrange a stagecoach, and strive to send the two masters to northern Xinjiang in the shortest possible time.

In mid-October, Xiao Tianzi led his army to cross the Yellow River south. The music of the great Sima Xu Rong was sent to Puyang. The development of the situation in Chang'an made Jia Xu, Fu Gan and others worried.

"Da Sima is going to the Western Xinjiang? What is he doing in the western frontier at this time? The little Tianzi was puzzled,

"Could it be that the Qiang people in Western Xinjiang don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they have rebelled again?" Jia Xu and the others did not speak. The matter of Chang'an cannot be said to Xiao Tianzi at present.

First, Xiao Tianzi is too young, too inexperienced, and has little understanding of the power struggle in the court, saying that he is likely to simply summarize the affairs of Chang'an as who is the bad guy and who is the good guy, which is very unfavorable for him to return to Chang'an for the government.

Second, the situation in Chang'an is full of variables, and now the ministers' estimates and speculations on the future situation are based on the general's death, if the general's illness is stabilized and gradually improved, the situation will develop in a completely different direction, so the ministers dare not rashly play the matter of Chang'an, so as not to let the little emperor think that he is talking nonsense and affect his future career.

"Lord Jia, is there really something wrong with Xijiang?" Xiao Tianzi asked again.

"Nope." Jia Xu said,

"After a while, it will snow in Xijiang, and at this time, Da Sima will go to Xijiang to do a tour, which can not only appease people's hearts, but also inspect the implementation of the new policies in various counties in Liangzhou, especially the implementation of relief money and grain is very important to stabilize Liangzhou, so it is indeed necessary for Da Sima to make a trip in person."

"In that case, let it be played." Xiao Tianzi smiled,

"Look, which minister should act as an agent for state affairs?" Jia Xu hesitated for a long time and was silent.

Once the general died of illness, Chang'an was turbulent, and in the case that the eldest princess could not leave Jinyang and the little emperor in the Central Plains, only he could quickly stabilize Guanzhong with the army of Western Xinjiang.

Da Sima has commanded the army in Western Xinjiang for many years, and has a certain prestige in Western Xinjiang, and after the general died of illness, he is the only one who can control the army in Western Xinjiang.

Da Sima left Chang'an, and who acted for the state to control Chang'an became the top priority. If this person chooses well, he can eliminate the crisis invisibly, and if he chooses badly, if he doesn't wait for the general to die of illness, Chang'an may be in chaos.

Taifu Liu He has a very high reputation and is a minister of the clan, but he does not have the strength to control all parties in Chang'an, and he cannot act as an agent for state affairs.

Prime Minister Li Wei was the initiator of the Chang'an crisis, and he could not act as an agent for state affairs. If he acts as an agent for state affairs, the contradictions between all parties in Chang'an will intensify, and the consequences are unpredictable.

Taiwei Zhang Yan has strength and has a more or less close relationship with all parties in Chang'an, but he was born in the Yellow Turban, and at this critical juncture, if someone uses this as an excuse to deliberately provoke contradictions between the Yellow Turban forces and other parties in the DPRK and China, the situation in Chang'an may get out of control.

At present, there are only these three ministers in the DPRK and China, and it is not appropriate to choose who will act as agents of state affairs. Jia Xu looked at Fu Gan, Wang Ling, Jiang Ji and others.

They are also worried and at a loss. Xiao Tianzi laughed, he felt that this matter was very simple, there was nothing to think about,

"Ladies and gentlemen, you see, how about letting my teacher, General Zhao Yun, act as an agent for state affairs?" Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, Huo Ran woke up, and couldn't help but applaud repeatedly.

The great Sima Xu Rong had already transferred General Zhao Yun from the Longnan battlefield back to the Beijing Division, and played the Son of Heaven, imploring the Son of Heaven to worship Zhao Yun as the general of the hussars and temporarily lead the general's military.

The hussar general is under the three dukes, and as long as he participates in the affairs of the three dukes, he is in the same position as the three dukes, and he can act as an agent for state affairs.

Zhao Yun is one of the eight teachers of the Son of Heaven, with a very high prestige in the army and a wide range of popularity, and he and Yan Liang, Zhang He and others belong to the Hebei faction in the Northern Xinjiang Department, and they are strong.

In addition, he is Cai Yong's son-in-law, Master Cai Yong is well-known all over the world, and there are many Confucian celebrities who know and intersect with him.

Moreover, Master Cai Yong arrived in Northern Xinjiang very early, and there are thousands of his protégés and disciples, most of whom are now serving in the capital and various prefectures and counties, and have strong connections.

Cai Yong has no children, and Zhao Yun's son-in-law is actually him

"Son", he inherited Cai Yong's wealth as a matter of course

"Legacy". In the Chang'an court, there are only ministers with outstanding merits and prominent family status, and there is only one Zhao Yun.

Xiao Tianzi admires Zhao Yun and likes Zhao Yun, when the general is gone, the first thing he thinks of is Zhao Yun, but Xiao Tianzi's suggestion gave the ministers a great surprise.

"Chang'an is worry-free, Chang'an is worry-free." Jia Xu excitedly grabbed Xiao Tianzi's hand and shook it again and again,

"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise......" Fu Gan, Wang Ling, Jiang Ji and others were also overjoyed and clapped their hands in celebration.

Xiao Tianzi was very embarrassed, and his smiling face suddenly turned red. Didn't I just say something casually, as for being so excited?

I've just been in power, and you're flattering all the time, isn't it too much?

"Alright, this matter is settled." Xiao Tianzi smiled happily,

"The western frontier is very large, and it will snow again soon, and Da Sima will not be able to return to Beijing until at least next spring, and during this time, General Zhao Yun will act as the agent of state affairs. We went south, and we went south to fight Nanyang. ”

"Your Majesty, after we arrive at Chenliu, we will rest for a few days." Fu Gan said,

"Yanzhou Assassin Shi Gao Lan, Qingzhou Assassin Shi Zangba, Yuzhou Assassin Shi Sun Qin, Henan Yin Wenchou, Zhendong General Gao Shun, Zhennan General Lei Chong, Mighty General Wei Xu and other ministers have been ordered to rush to Chenliu, Your Majesty wants to discuss with them specifically about the fight against Nanyang."

"What? Is it difficult to hit Nanyang? Xiao Tianzi asked.

"The autumn harvest in October is coming to an end, and the grain from the four prefectures of Hebei, Yanqing, Henan, and Hanoi will soon be transported to the front line, and the people can be requisitioned in large quantities, but we still need time to complete all the preparations before the attack." Fu Gan smiled,

"This is the first time that Your Majesty has personally commanded a large army to crusade against rebellion, and you can only win, not lose."

"Oh......" Little Tianzi scratched his head,

"Yes, yes, if I lose, my face will be disgraced."

"We want to conquer Nanyang and conquer Xiangyang." Fu Gan said,

"After taking Xiangyang, Your Majesty will go to fight Xuzhou again. In short, after His Majesty drinks the Yangtze River and quells the rebellion in the south, he can return to Chang'an. ”

"Okay......" Xiao Tianzi suddenly became excited, slapped his hands on the case, and shouted loudly with a pair of eyes,

"I want to fight the Yangtze River, fight the Yangtze River......" Jinyang. In order to save the general's life, he took great pains to invite a large number of famous men and scholars with excellent medical skills and Taoist skills.

These people are very famous in various places, Xi Jiandao people in Yangcheng, Hedong, Fangshi Wang Zhendaoren in Shangdang County, Fangshi Fengheng in Longxi, Gan Shidao people in Ganling State, Dongguo Yannian, famous doctors in Linzi of Qi State, Tang Yu, Leng Shouguang, Bu Shi, Zhang Mink, Zhao Shengqing, Ji Zixun in Henan, Fei Changfang, Xiannu Gu in Runan County, Yuzhou, and so on.

A large group of people gathered in the Jinyang Marquis Mansion, some said this treatment, some said that it was cured, some said that it was cured, some said that it was cured, some persuaded Dan, and some said acupuncture, but no one dared to pat their chests and say that they could cure the general.

The general is not an ordinary person, he has merit in curing, but if he can't cure it, he will lose his head. In mid-October, the imperial physician ordered Huang Da's friend Ms. Lu, a Changle Taoist, to rush to Jinyang and bring Huang Da's much-needed hemp boiling powder.

Huang Dayu played the eldest princess, if you want to cure the general, there is only one last way, disemboweling and removing the lesion.
