Chapter 147: Hope
After Cao Jun successfully delayed the breakthrough date of the Xuzhou Army, Zhang Zhongjing's side also began to study the method of Artemisia annua for the treatment of malaria.
There was no way, Guo did not provide him with how to use Artemisia annua to treat diseases, but only provided a general idea of using Artemisia annua to treat diseases. Zhang Zhongjing also had a headache, if it weren't for the identity of a disciple of Guigu, and Guo Jia had also proposed the concept of disinfection with higher concentration of wine and hot water, he would definitely doubt the correctness of this recipe.
Zhang Zhongjing used countless methods to decoction Artemisia annua and made a decoction of medicines, which was given to many Cao soldiers who were already terminally ill, but without exception, none of them had any medicinal effects.
Zhang Zhongjing's desk has already fallen a lot of black hair, since entering this isolation camp, he has only slept two or three hours a day, and the rest of the time is busy studying the role of Artemisia annua.
"Imperial Doctor's Order! Tai Yi Order! It's working! ”
Zhang Zhongjing's bloodshot eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked outside the tent, and a imperial doctor rushed into the tent in a hurry.
"Take me to see it!"
Zhang Zhongjing came to the Cao soldier who was found to be cured, and carefully inspected his physical condition, and his condition was indeed much better.
"What's going on? Who decocted the decoction? ”
Zhang Zhongjing looked around, but none of the imperial doctors admitted that he did it, Zhang Zhongjing couldn't help but wonder, this is not a bad thing, even a good thing that has been passed down through the ages, why didn't he admit it?
Subsequently, a Cao soldier who did not get sick told him the facts.
In fact, it was because the Xuzhou army attacked the granary outside the city of Xiapi last night, and the soldiers stationed in the outer city had some losses, so the soldiers who originally stayed outside the city and the soldiers in the outer city changed their guards. Unexpectedly, just half an hour later, his condition improved significantly.
Zhang Zhongjing's body trembled, and he laughed, "The old man actually forgot that some herbs can't be decocted!" Hahaha! Hurry up, wait for me to collect Artemisia annua again! ”
Zhang Zhongjing ran out excitedly, leaving the wide-eyed imperial doctors and Cao Jun soldiers.
Under the mistake of this Cao soldier, Zhang Zhongjing understood how Artemisia annua should treat these sick Cao soldiers.
Because the ancient Chinese botanical classification has not really been established, today there are hundreds of known species of Artemisia annua in China, among which only Artemisinin can treat malaria in Artemisia annua, and the most critical point is that it cannot be decocted. But this can easily be modified by later generations of doctors. Therefore, the disorder of plant classification and the modification of the method may lead to the fact that even those who try it will find this recipe completely useless.
This method is actually recorded in Ge Hong's book "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", but this book is mostly for emergency use of doctors or patients, so as far as possible, plants and minerals that can be seen everywhere in daily life are used, and there is no theoretical explanation, pure experience. Therefore, when empirical medicine was upgraded to what is called Chinese medicine today, the evaluation of this work became lower and lower, and it was even considered unworthy and unelegant. Today, under the pressure of modern medicine, home remedies are rarely denounced as heresy and absurd by mainstream Chinese medicine, but this is not the case in history.
In addition, most of the treatments in "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" are difficult to make money, they are all ordinary flowers and plants, and the cost of medicine has been a problem since ancient times, and things that are too cheap are easy to be eliminated, unless they are really effective.
In addition, there are more than 30 prescriptions that can be tried to treat malaria, among which the drug that is as effective as artemisinin today is Changshan. This can be experienced from the proportion of schemes, there are Changshan in the fourteen schemes, and even two schemes use Changshan alone. Moreover, Changshan does have curative effects, but its side effects are larger, which the ancients also recognized, so that there is a great controversy over whether or not Changshan is a good place, and licorice (which is one of the most commonly used Chinese medicines) that was considered to be able to detoxify all kinds of poisons at that time could not fight the violent vomiting caused by Changshan. In the past, when infusions were not available, I am afraid that this could easily lead to serious problems and even death, which tested the courage of doctors.
Unexpectedly, this method was studied by mistake, and at the same time, Zhang Zhongjing also discovered that only Artemisia annua can play a role, so he personally collected a lot of Artemisia annua as a sample, so as not to collect the wrong ones from the imperial doctors and Cao Jun soldiers.
A few days later, a team of several hundred people also appeared near Cao Ying, and Cao Jun almost attacked, but fortunately, the young man who led the team explained his intention in time.
The young man's face is unusually handsome, three points better than Guo Jia, and his body shows a bookish anger and a personable temperament.
"My name is Zhou Yu, the word Gongjin, the head of the Zhou family in Lujiang, the second subordinate of Weiwei Zhou Zhong, and the righteous brother of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong!"
Yes, this sentence is enough, whether it is true or not, they will not continue to shoot, Sun Ce has a high status in the Cao army, although he has never heard of it, but if he is really mistaken, Sun Ce's violent temper will kill them in minutes? However, they still demanded that Zhou Yu's team hand over their weapons, just in case. Zhou Yu thought that his uncle was not angry, and wanted to scold these Cao Jun for their rudeness, but was stopped by Zhou Yu.
Although Zhou Yu comforted this uncle on the lips, he did not have any dissatisfaction in his heart, as a general, especially as a patrolling army, he should naturally be cautious and cautious, so Zhou Yu was very satisfied with this Cao army in his heart. Cao Jun's patrol can have this vigilance, Cao Jun is really the elite of the world! He was more interested in this Cao army, Cao Cao and Guo Jia, but what he wanted to see most now was Sun Ce.
