33. [032] It seems that there is still salvation
In the afternoon of the same day, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses also rushed to the pass to join the large army, and only Ma Teng was still on the way. Shen Xian threw Xun You to Jia Xu for a "friendly meeting and visit", and she took Cai Yan to watch Boss Cao. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao could recognize the two of them at a glance from the crowd - Cai Yan to be exact.
"Akihime?" Cao Cao said in surprise, he ordered his subordinates to go first, and he came to Cai Yan's face: "Didn't you already leave Luoyang with the teacher?" How did it end up here? ”
"Father and Mr. Lu went to Yizhou," Cai Yan showed a very shallow smile on her face, and she said softly, "I'll stay and help Shang Yu." ”
Cao Cao's gaze fell on Shen Xian's body, and he revealed a subtle feeling: "Lord Liu, we meet again." ”
"Before I could send troops, Lord Cao had already rushed over," Shen Xian bowed to Cao Cao, and she looked regretful: "It's a pity." ”
Cao Cao smiled: "I also regret that I can't see Lord Liu's heroic posture on the battlefield." ”
The three of them chatted casually for a while, and then saw Xiahou Dun come over with a stern expression, and after he briefly greeted Shen Xian and Cai Yan, he turned his head to Cao Cao and said eagerly: "Meng De, the military advisor suddenly vomited blood, you go and take a look!" ”
Cao Cao was stunned, and left without even saying goodbye to Xiahoudun directly. Shen Xian was at a loss, but when he saw Cao Cao retreating back, he looked at Cai Yan expectantly: "Zhao Ji, I know that you are good at the art of Qihuang, can you help one of my staff?" He's not been in good health lately. ”
Cai Yan blinked, suddenly grabbed Shen Xian's arm and pushed her in front of Cao Cao: "Speaking of Qihuang's technique, you have to find this one, in front of her, I will be a class to get an axe." ”
"She is a personal disciple of the divine doctor Hua Yuanhua."
Shen Xian didn't understand how it happened, anyway, when she came back to her senses, she was already standing in Cao Cao's tent with Cai Yan.
From time to time, a violent cough came from the couch, Shen Xian and Cai Yan walked over, and saw a small human figure shrunk in the thick quilt, which made the two of them have the illusion that the quilt was going to crush people. In fact, it was because of the drama at this time that he was too thin, and he always felt that he only had a handful of bones and a skin left on his body, and an eight-foot-tall man described him as having no sense of disobedience at all.
Shen Xian's brows furrowed deeply, and she thought of the last time she had seen Xi Zhicai in Sun Jian's tent. Shen Xian clearly remembered that although she saw that Xi Zhicai was pale and in poor health at that time, Xi Zhicai was not sick until now? It's only been a few days, and it's become like he's dying, what did Cao Cao do to his advisors?
"What the hell did he do?" Shen Xian put her hand on Xi Zhicai's wrist and found that his pulse was a little weak: "It's only been a few days to make yourself like this?" ”
Cao Cao sighed and leaned down to help Xi Zhicai tuck the corner: "The battle situation in Hangu Pass was stalemate before, and Zhicai worried a lot, and his state was not very good at that time, and then we rushed to Yaoguan overnight......"
Although Cao Cao's words were vague, Shen Xian could already imagine Xi Zhicai's days and nights of studying tactics in order to break through Hangu Pass. To put it bluntly, it's tiring! Originally, Xi Zhicai's body was weak, so he didn't care well, but instead intensified his abuse of himself, looking at the two big black circles that were comparable to pandas!
Shen Xian scolded Boss Cao for not hurting anyone, and gave him a fierce look. Taking a step to the side to make way for Cai Yan, Shen Xian said, "Sister Zhaoji, you prescribe the prescription, I'll give him a few injections." ”
Speaking of which, this should be one of the golden fingers given by the system, Shen Xian learned the knowledge related to medicine without a teacher after crossing over, but this knowledge is like being shoehorned into her brain, it can be read, but it can't be used flexibly, and it is far from being able to understand it. So a certain embarrassing situation appeared: after taking the pulse, Shen Xian could understand what disease the patient had, but if she prescribed medicine to treat people, she was not good at it.
Fortunately, Shen Xian drew the Wanhua Martial Arts in the martial arts system, and attached a deviant mind method to her, under this mental method, Shen Xian only needs to pick up the silver needle according to the instructions to make the corresponding movements, and cast Tai Su Jiu to target the target Zazaza, she can carry out a series of treatments, such as secretly replenishing blood, dispelling unfavorable states, etc.
Xi Zhicai's face was as pale as flour, and he was anemic at first glance, so he gave him a few mouthfuls of milk to save his life, and as for how to recuperate, leave it to Cai Yan to worry about.
Shen Xian naturally didn't bring needles when she came out to play, so Xiahoudun went to the military doctor to borrow a set. Shen Xian rolled up her sleeves to reveal her slender and white wrists, and a strangely shaped scar flashed on her forearm. Cao Cao glanced at it and consciously looked away, staring intently at Xi Zhicai, who was lying on the bed and in a semi-comatose state.
Cai Yan helped Shen Xian pour a bowl of wine and lit it with a fire fold, Shen Xian held the needle and roasted it on the flame, and carried the mental method of deviating from the scriptures, so that the soft and warm internal strength slowly gathered on the silver needle, and then pierced it at Xi Zhicai's acupuncture points.
Shen Xian was very happy to prick the needle three times, and as more and more deviant Yi Dao true qi entered Xi Zhicai's acupoint to warm and repair, Xi Zhicai's face gradually became a lot more normal, but his back also became like a hedgehog. Cao Cao looked at Shen Xian's expression when she took the needle, and found that she sometimes had a stern face and sometimes a bright eye, feeling the same as a snake spirit disease, if it weren't for the faint flush on Xi Zhicai's cheeks, he really had some doubts about whether Shen Xian was reliable or not.
She didn't know anything about Boss Cao's belly slander Shen Xian, and after she pricked a lot of local needles, lifting needles and long needles used to add blood, she gave a sharp needle to dispel the unfavorable state in the last one. In case Xi Zhicai has some kind of debuff that continues to lose blood on his body, if he doesn't get rid of it, Shen Xian will be useless even if he is full of Xi Zhicai.
After waiting for two quarters of an hour, Shen Xian began to pick up the needle, and as the silver needles were pulled out one by one, the comatose Xi Zhi gradually woke up, his eyes were misty, and he looked at Shen Xian and Cao Cao in confusion, as if he didn't understand what was going on.
Shen Xian ignored Xi Zhicai, she put the silver needle in place, clapped her hands and stood up: "It's done, and then I'll hand it over to Sister Zhaoji." ”
"I've already prescribed the prescription," Cai Yan handed the prescription to Cao Cao: "Remember to stay in bed and recuperate." ”
"If you don't want him to die early." Shen Xian added: "Don't think I'm scaring you, it stands to reason that his age should be when he is healthy and energetic, but look at him like this - does he usually have any habits?" ”
"Drink a bar." Cai Yan picked up the small wine jar crooked at the head of the bed and shook it, and found that there was still a bottom left in it: "It's okay to drink less, but everything pays attention to a degree, and if you exceed the limit, of course something will happen." ”
"Thank you for saving me." Xi Zhicai's brain slowly became clear, and he glanced at the situation in the room to understand what had just happened. Ignoring Cao Cao's obstruction, Xi Zhicai struggled to thank Shen Xian and Cai Yan for the two of them, and he smiled bitterly: "But I know my body, and my time is running out." Actually, I don't care about this, I just hate to help the lord plan more......"
Cao Cao's face changed, and he reprimanded: "What nonsense! You are obedient and take good care of your illness, don't always think nonsense! ”
Xi Zhicai shook his head lightly: "Lord, it's useless-"
Before Xi Zhicai's words fell, he suddenly felt that the strong wind in front of him was protruding, and he saw a flower in front of him, and when he looked at it again, he saw Xiahoudun standing in front of him with an inexplicable face, and he was still holding a silver needle in his hand.
Cao Cao's face turned gloomy: "Lord Liu, what do you mean by this?" ”
Cai Yan looked at Cao Cao, who was obviously angry, and then looked at Shen Xian, who looked indifferent, and finally decided not to speak.
Shen Xian maintained the posture of throwing the needle out, not hiding the meaning of wanting to kill Xi Zhicai just now, she sneered: "To be honest, as a doctor, I hate patients like you the most, I don't care for my body, and it was in vain for me to save it; As the lord, I am also most annoyed by your subordinates, working hard, as if I am so impersonal and cruel, and treat my subordinates as donkeys. If you are my person, I will be so angry that I will play the piano for you every day, and Meng De's temper will be unbearable. ”
Although he didn't understand the connection between being angry and listening to the qin, Shen Xian's words still made Xi Zhicai fall into deep thought, and Cao Cao's face changed from angry to crying and laughing.
After that, Shen Xian didn't talk anymore, after all, this is someone else's business, just order it to the end, and leave the rest to Cao Cao to worry about.
However, what Shen Xian didn't expect was that she could eat indiscriminately, she couldn't talk nonsense, and if she talked too much, she would set up a small flag for herself, and in the near future, she would be much more bitter than the current Boss Cao. No matter how you train others confidently, when something really happens to you, let alone forcing others to listen to the piano, you can't even shout at a loud voice, so you can only chase someone every day and coax him to drink medicine with good words.
After returning to her camp, Shen Xian told Xun You what had just happened, she focused on criticizing Xi Zhicai's behavior of working hard, and swore that she would never let her subordinates be tired to death.
Xun You poked his head out from behind the military newspapers piled up into a small mountain, and he stared at Shen Xian expressionlessly: "Really? ”
Shen Xian felt a chill all over her body, she smiled, and took the initiative to pull a few bundles of Kumon cats to the side to look.
Xun You tied up the military report that had just been corrected, stood up and walked out. Shen Xian called him: "Hey, Gongda, why are you going?" ”
"Take a walk, combine work and rest, isn't this what you just said, my lord?" Xun You said lightly: "Oh yes, lord, those texts on the table must be corrected today, Mr. Gongqi is waiting for it, and it must not be delayed." Since you have said so, then all the subordinates will be handed over to you, don't be too tired. ”
After Xun You finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the stunned Shen Xian, and took Cai Yan out for a walk.
"You leave Sister Zhaoji behind!" Shen Xian tried to make a final struggle.
"Akihime is also your beloved subordinate." Xun You gave Shen Xian an encouraging look: "Lord, do a good job, I am optimistic about you." ”
The depressed Shen Xian drove Cai Yan and Xun You away.
Cai Yan softened: "Why don't I help her?" That's too much, you've got a backlog of days. ”
Xun Youhehe: "I'm the only one working, don't accuse me of being slow." ”
"I didn't mean that." Cai Yan sighed.
"Ahem." Xun You decisively changed the topic: "It's okay, I received a reply from my little uncle, he said that he was ready to set off, and he would arrive in two days, and then there would be more people and fewer lives." ”
As if remembering something interesting, Xun You asked Cai Yan: "You just said that the lord said to Cao Mengde that she hates subordinates like Xi Zhicai?" ”
"It's not a nuisance." Cai Yan recalled Shen Xian's expression and speculated: "I just don't like it...... I don't like a person to be so sloppy with her health, she's not right about people. ”
"Hah, that's interesting." Xun You rarely showed a gloating expression: "The little uncle said in the letter that he came this time in addition to moving his family, and also brought a friend. Coincidentally, my little uncle, his friend, and Xi Zhicai, the three of them used to study together in Yingchuan Academy, and they were all classmates and friends. If nothing else, the little uncle and his friends will be under the command of the lord in the future. Let me remind you first, my uncle's friend is a person with the same personality as Xi Zhicai. ”
Cai Yan: "......"
"Sue the lord?" Xun You was eager to try: "Let her have a preparation." ”
"Still don't." Cai Yan shook his head: "It's not too late to talk about the shadowless thing." ”
"That's right." Xun You nodded: "They are all the kind of people who look at the edge of their eyes, so I said that whether the lord can let my little uncle stay depends on her creation, if it is not pleasing to the eye, the little uncle will leave the clansmen to me to take care of, and then find someone else to assist." ”
Cai Yan sighed: "Xun's Wenruo, Wang Zuozhicai, if you can't come, it's a pity." ”
Xun You suddenly asked, "...... What about me? ”
"Huh?" Cai Yan didn't seem to understand what Xun Yu meant, and she blinked innocently.
This time it was Xun You's turn to feel depressed, he touched his nose and twisted his head: "There is no little uncle and there are others, and the lord himself doesn't know when he will catch up with Jia Wenhe." ”
Thinking of Shen Xian throwing him in front of Jia Xu just now to dig the foot of the wall, Xun You felt congested. He and Jia Xu are both smart characters, and they are a bit of a king without seeing the king, plus the two are not in the same camp at present, and if they don't mock each other a few words when they meet, they are all good cultivation. Xun You and Jia Xu were tied after a mild, brief verbal confrontation, but think that Jia Xu played Quanyizhou alone...... Xun You no longer wants to admit that he lost half a move.
Still digging the foot of the wall? Xun Yu slandered, does Jia Xu still need to dig that guy? He has done so many things, from sabotaging Liu Yan's plan to writing a letter to Shen Xian to inform her of the changes in Chang'an City, from sending Diao Chan to Xieyu Pass to oppose Lu Bu to going out of the city to send a coffin to Shen Xian, one by one seems to contradict each other and is meaningless, but look at Shen Xian's reaction? Shen Xian said the four straightforward words "I want him" in person, or after learning that Jia Xu's plan indirectly killed her two brothers.
Jia Xu made it clear that he wanted to defect to Shen Xian, but he wouldn't come directly, especially at this time. Yang Biao and Huangfu Song and other people from His Majesty's faction were intentionally or unintentionally guarding against Jia Xu, although Jia Xu had a very high status in Chang'an City, but in fact he was in danger. Ordinary people can withdraw at this time, and they should withdraw quickly, and it is important to save their lives. Jia Xu also spared his life, but he would not let himself leave like running away. Xun You felt that if Jia Xu wanted to defect to Shen Xian, he would definitely do something before he came, as a gift to Shen Xian.
But when it comes to Shen Xian's two elder brothers...... Xun You asked Cai Yan strangely: "Liu Jiyu is okay, but why do I think the atmosphere between the lord and her other two brothers is also a little strange?" ”
Cai Yan smiled: "This person is gone, can you not blame it?" ”
"No, don't make a fuss." Xun You smiled helplessly: "You grew up with your father-in-law since childhood, how is her relationship with her eldest brother and second brother?" ”
Cai Yan shook his head: "Liu Jiyu will come to play with her every once in a while, but her eldest brother and second brother ...... For a whole year, I never saw either of them. ”
Hearing that Cai Yan had seen Liu Zhang when he was a child, Xun You blurted out in shock: "Are you sure Liu Jiyu went to play with the lord?" ”
Cai Yan stared at Xun You expressionlessly, and Xun You hurriedly made a gesture of surrender.
"At least during the time she lived in my house to study, her eldest brother and second brother never saw her, and she never mentioned her two older brothers." Cai Yan smiled while recalling: "At that time, I was still envious of her three elder brothers, but she said that she envied me for getting all the favor alone...... It's just a child's speech. ”
Xun You nodded, and reluctantly accepted the explanation that the relationship between the three brothers and sisters had been bad since childhood, after all, they were too different in age and might not be able to play together.
The next day, Ma Teng's Xiliang army was late, and Huangfu Song convened a meeting to focus on how to fight Wuguan.
Sun Tzu's Art of War: The general will plot, then attack, then attack, and then attack the city. It can be seen that forcing the attack is the most unwise choice. War is only a means, the ultimate goal is to quell the rebellion, if there is another way to achieve the goal, then why do we have to fight at the expense of the people and money?
Guo Yan and they were trapped in Wuguan, and they couldn't go back to Liangzhou and couldn't go to merge with the state, so they either surrendered, or they waved their troops south to unite with Liu Biao, after all, Liu Biao's position as the pastor of Jingzhou was still sealed by Dong Zhuo through the mouth of the emperor, and there was a ready-made opportunity to show favor with Liu Biao! Sun Jian is attacking Fancheng, everyone should work together to destroy Sun Jian, okay?
I believe that among the Dong Thief Yu Party in Wuguan, some people will support the United Liu Biao. It's not fun to always be a cat in Sili, look at the heroes of the world who have begun to occupy their own territory one by one, how can these people be willing to fall behind. But those who support surrender are also very eloquent, because according to experience, surrender does not die, and may be entrusted with important tasks, after all, there are not many available people around His Majesty today.
Both parties think that they are reasonable, and Dong Zhuo is dead, everyone thinks that the time has come to become the boss, and no one will accept anyone. So if you let them continue to quarrel like this......
Shen Xian felt as if she had seen history repeating itself, wasn't this an enlarged version of the situation at the original Xieyuguan?
What is needed now is time, wait for the contradictions to slowly ferment, or wait until the grain and grass in Wuguan are exhausted - the supply lines of Wuguan and Hangu Pass are locked, and the supply lines of Wuguan are cut off, and sooner or later, Guo Yan and the others will have a relationship that collapses.
But the always calm veteran Huangfu Song seemed a little anxious this time, and he asked Jia Xu: "I don't know what kind of high opinion Wen He has, so that the conflict between the remnants of the Dong thief in Wuguan can occur immediately?" ”
Jia Xu honestly shrank in the corner as a background board from the beginning of the meeting, and did not make a sound, but unfortunately it was difficult to escape the fate of being named by Huangfu Song in the end.
Jia Xu slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze without the slightest emotion circled the faces of everyone in the camp tent, and finally landed on Shen Xian's body.
Shen Xian stared at Jia Xu expressionlessly.
Jia Xu said slowly: "I do have a plan, but I don't know if Lord Liu is willing to cooperate." ”
"What a coincidence." Shen Xian suddenly smiled, she blinked her eyes, and put on a look of regret: "Master Jia, the person you want...... He wasn't here at this point. Something seemed to have happened in Chengdu, so I sent him to take someone back to see the situation. ”
"Oh, that's a shame." Jia Xu nodded, then closed his eyes and lowered his head and stopped talking.
Huangfu Song: "......"
That's giving up? Don't you try it anymore! You really didn't make an appointment with Liu Shangyu to act? Huangfu Song thought silently.
Huangfu Song secretly suppressed the anger in his heart, and he asked Shen Xian as pleasantly as possible: "Shang Yu, what dumb riddle are you playing with Wen He?" ”
"When I intercepted Li Zhiran to attack Chang'an a few days ago, I took a group of prisoners." Shen Xian explained: "One of them is Zhang Yuanshan's nephew. I saw that he was good at martial arts, so I stayed by my side. ”
After a little thought, Huangfu Song understood Jia Xu's abacus - it was still his usual counter-strategy, sending Zhang Xiu to Wuguan with a few words, taking the opportunity to shake the morale of the army and accelerate the intensification of contradictions, so that the situation in Wuguan collapsed.
But Shen Xian has blocked the possibility of Jia Xu's scheme, and Huangfu Song can only give up even if he is unwilling.
There is no way to use stratagems - in fact, Xun You and Xi Zhicai have ideas, but these two people will not be stupid and open their mouths to make trouble for themselves, and Huangfu Song only brought Jia Xu a strategist - the matter of sowing discord can only be done temporarily, or seriously pray that the remnants of Dong Thief can do their best to make a mess of themselves.
The daily life of the coalition army has become to go to the gate of Wuguan to provoke and scold, to see if they can scold the enemy generals out of the pass to meet the battle, and if they can destroy a little bit, they are also a good means to hit the enemy's morale. The candidate for scolding and provoking is that everyone takes turns to play, and no one is left behind, and today it is Xiahoudun, Shen Xian and Zhao Yun's turn to call the battle.
To Shen Xian's surprise, Zhao Yun was still in Cao Cao's army. If it weren't for Zhao Yun not changing the clothes of Bai Ma Yicong, Shen Xian would have thought that Zhao Yun had left with Boss Cao.
However, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang were gone, and Shen Xian inquired about Xiahoudun and learned that the three of them left in Hanguguan, saying that they were going to Xuzhou to go around. Before leaving, Cao Cao seemed to be very reluctant to look like Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also promised Cao Cao to come to see him when he was free.
Shen Xian: What should I do if I don't know how to vomit if there are too many ...... slots?
Shen Xian especially wanted to tell Xiahou Tang to be careful, because Liu Bei had a cursed debuff on his body, he was unlucky wherever he went, and the people who ran to him basically hit the streets. But Shen Xian was not very familiar with Xiahoudun, so she didn't speak in the end.
Arriving at Wuguan, Shen Xian, Xiahoudun and Zhao Yun also excused themselves on the question of "who scolds first", and finally Shen Xian and Zhao Yun voted for Xiahoudun, and Xiahoudun rode indignantly to call for battle.
Xiahoudun had just taken two steps forward, when a person suddenly fell from the city tower and smashed in front of his horse. Xiahoudun was slightly startled, he hurriedly retreated and looked down.
The man was no exception, his limbs twisted and collapsed on the ground, only one face in his body was still intact, and he could barely see his round eyes freeze his surprise and anger for a moment. Even after being thrown from a tall building and falling so much, not much blood was coming out of this person's body, and it was obvious that he was already dead.
Throw a corpse over...... What do you want to do? Xiahoudun looked inexplicable.
Shen Xian and Zhao Yun stepped forward, Zhao Yun was as puzzled as Xiahou Xuan, and Shen Xian looked at the corpse and turned around and vomited.
"Lord Liu," Zhao Yun, who was closest to Shen Xian, was a little embarrassed, he tentatively reached out and patted Shen Xian's back: "Are you okay?" ”
Shen Xian shook her head, desperately pulling the reins of the Flame Black Horse to make it retreat, and after withdrawing five steps away, Shen Xian covered her mouth and said, "That's ...... Zhang Yuanshan. ”
Zhang Xiu's uncle, who had always been worried, really died in the factional struggle in Wuguan.
For a moment, Shen Xian was very glad that Xun You didn't let Zhang Xiu come to participate in this joint meeting.
