Chapter 624: Turnaround
It can be said that Hua Tuo's idea of sacrificing himself for the world is fundamentally the values that Diao Chan has always admired, and when Dong Zhuo was at the beginning, if it wasn't for a coincidence, Diao Chan almost made a similar choice.
However, this kind of value is contrary to Sun Quan's concept. Although Sun Quan also admires such people, he himself is the complete opposite, a selfish and self-centered person. Therefore, Sun Quan is very strange, why would Hua Tuo entrust his life's research to Sun Quan such a "strange villain"?
"Why me?" Sun Quan directly asked the doubts in his heart.
"Although the general is not a healer, he has a benevolent heart. It is most appropriate to entrust it to the general. Hua Tuo said with a smile.
"Am I benevolent?"
Sun Quan was stunned, he almost thought that Hua Tuo was flattering him. Sun Quan asked himself, although he usually smiles on the surface, but behind the scenes, he can definitely be called a demon who kills people without blinking.
This Hua Tuo still boasts of knowing people, won't he be old and dizzy? I said old doctor, why don't we look at our eyes first?
"The benevolence of a doctor is a true and kind heart. The old decay will not be mistaken, the general must have it. Hua Tuo said with great certainty.
"Okay, that kid can only try to live up to his trust." Sun Quan arched his hand, according to his guess, could it be because of the Dao heart in his body?
Of course not. The reason why Hua Tuo has such a high opinion of Sun Quan is entirely because Sun Quan was born in modern times.
Sun Quan, for doctors, that is from the bottom of his heart, is by no means the superficial work of the superiors of today's era. Moreover, Sun Quan is also willing to share, and will not hide the good to show his noble identity and extraordinary.
It's like the emperor, who usually doesn't let the imperial doctor help the common people to diagnose and treat, which is simply a loss of royal status. Even if it is an important minister in the court, if the emperor sends an imperial doctor to come out for diagnosis and treatment, it is also a great reward.
As for Sun Quan, in Xiapi, Sun Quan directly asked Hua Tuo to give free medical treatment to the people, this kind of thing Sun Quan took for granted, and did not think that this kind of medical level was not something that civilians could enjoy. In addition, on Hua Tuo's side, Sun Quan also felt that he was bothering Hua Tuo, and he greeted him with warmth and respect, and Sun Quan came directly to ask him Hua Tuo for help, instead of negotiating with Princess Hongnong.
These details are not that Sun Quan thinks so much, but his habitual actions, no wonder Hua Tuo will say that Sun Quan has a benevolent heart.
Originally, in all respects, Hua Tuo should have left his medical book to the Tang family. But first, the Tang family may also be implicated this time, and the medical book may not be saved. Second, even if the Tang family keeps the medical book, it will never be passed on, but will be regarded as its own family heirloom.
Hua Tuo does not belong to any family, as he said, he is a charlatan. Compared with treating high-ranking officials and nobles, Hua Tuo had the most contact with ordinary people. Therefore, Hua Tuo hopes that after his death, his medical skills can still serve ordinary people and help more people, instead of becoming the private property of high-ranking officials and nobles. At present, Sun Quan is the most suitable big man that Hua Tuo has come into contact with, and he is the most suitable for him.

XU Du,
"Lord, over there in Xuzhou, Sun Quan took the initiative to give up Xiapi, Langxie, and Beihai to Liu Bei, and is currently retreating to Huaiyin, and it is estimated that he will return to Jiangdong to preside over the overall situation in a short time." His subordinates reported to Cao Cao.
"This Sun Quan is really courageous! Say it and break it, without delay! Instead, he let that Liu Bei pick up the cheap. Cao Cao sighed, "How did Yuan Shao react to this?" β
"Yuan Shao's son, Youzhou Mu Yuan Xi, testified at the scene, and it stands to reason that he completely accepted Liu Bei's entry into Xuzhou." The subordinate replied, "However, Yuan Shao's eldest son, Qingzhou Mu Yuan Tan, took advantage of the retreat of the Jiangdong Army and took the opportunity to seize Beihai and Langxie, so Liu Bei actually only got a place under Pi. β
"Haha, then Liu Bei is probably quite unwilling!" Cao Cao burst out laughing.
"That's right, Liu Bei immediately questioned Yuan Shao about this, and it is said that Yuan Shao also apologized again and again in his reply, saying that Yuan Tan did not know Xiapi's covenant when he acted, and as for the return of Beihai Langxie, he did not mention a word." The subordinate replied.
"Hmph." Cao Cao smiled coldly, "It really has Yuan Shao's style." However, Yuan Shao also took this opportunity to cross the Yellow River and open the passage into Xuzhou. β
Just like when Sun Quan seized Guangling, Yuan Tan occupied Beihai and Langxie, and then entered the belly of Xuzhou unimpeded.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao rubbed his brows vigorously, he had a headache. If Yuan Shao had not opened the passage into Xuzhou, then Cao Cao would have basically only had to set up defenses along the Yellow River to the north. But now, it cannot be ruled out that Yuan Shao will take advantage of the road to go down to Pi and join forces with Liu Bei to attack from the east.
Although there is a big military move, it will definitely not escape the eyes of Cao Cao's scouts, and if Yuan Shao moves, Cao Cao can also follow suit. However, as a defensive side, many military facilities need to be prepared in advance, and it is by no means as simple as transferring soldiers to fight temporarily.
"What about Koto? What's going on over there in Koto? Cao Cao asked.
"Koto over thereγγγγγγ" The subordinate hesitated, "I'm afraid the situation is a little bit not good." β
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed,
"Is it not good for us?"
Otherwise, it wouldn't be this reaction, in other words, the situation in Jiangdong has improved?
"That's right." The subordinate nodded, "Xu Kun and Sun Ben don't know what agreement they have reached, so they will stop fighting for the time being, and the two parties will form an army and go to Lujiang together, obviously preparing to recover Lujiang from Li Shu." On the side of Huiji, Yu turned to persuade the scholars to defend for a few days, Sun Wei couldn't attack for a long time, so he had no choice but to give up, tied himself in front of others, and waited for Sun Quan to go back and fall. Zhou Yu took Sun Ce's coffin back to Wu County, and I don't know what means he used, Zhang Zhao and others, who originally supported Sun Yi, are now a little ambiguous. β
Cao Cao's face sank,
"It's too bad to be bad! Shanyue, what about Shanyue who took advantage of the chaos? β
"Shanyue, which took advantage of the chaos, was also suppressed by Huang Gai with Jiang Qin, Dong Xi and other young generals, one after another." He replied in a deep voice.
βγγγγγγγβ
Cao Cao was silent, he thought that even if the situation in Jiangdong would improve, it should be Sun Quan who gradually took control of the situation after he returned. Who would have thought that the Sun family, which was on the verge of collapse not long ago, would survive on its own so quickly.
The change in the situation is certainly what Cao Cao is worried about, but the resilience and stability shown by Jiangdong are what Cao Cao fears the most. In the face of such a Sun family, what else can be done to defeat them?!
"Summoning Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu to me!"
Cao Cao commanded. This is a meeting about Cao Ying's life and death.

Huaiyin,
"Madame is pain-free and in good health." Hua Tuo whispered to Sun Quan.
"Huh?"
