Chapter 44: The Changes in Jingzhou
Han Xuan knelt in front of Dong Wan's spirit and wept bitterly, this is Dong Wan's clothed tomb, when Chen Wu buried her body in a courtyard in Chang'an after Dong Wan committed suicide. Chang'an was under Cao Cao's control, and Han Xuan couldn't go to worship.
"Wan'er! Brother Xuan failed to protect you, I'm sorry for you! Woo woo woo ......" Han Xuan glanced at the head of Li Dao in front of Dong Wanling, and suddenly there was a surge of qi and blood, as if the previous tingling angina feeling was about to appear again.
Zuo Ci had previously taught Han Xuan's Inner Dan Technique, which was to cultivate the spiritual energy in the body, and the spiritual energy in Han Xuan's body came from the original Han Xuan's soul in this world! At this time, Han Xuan suddenly fainted, and it was he who felt the sadness, which kept surging and impacting in Han Xuan's body.
When Huang Wudie and the others saw Han Xuan fainting suddenly, they hurriedly helped him into the carriage and returned to the mansion, and invited Zuo Ci to treat Han Xuan. Fortunately, Zuo Ci used Dao techniques to seal Han Xuan's meridians, fed Han Xuan the Soul Suppression Pill, and stabilized that soul.
Han Xuan finally woke up after a day of sleep, Huang Wudie hurriedly rushed over after learning about it, Han Xuan took her hand and asked, "Qiao'er, what's wrong with me?" ”
"It's 'him' who made a fuss again...... Huang Wudie's eyes dodged Han Xuan after speaking, and a sadness flowed out.
Han Xuan was not surprised to see her reaction, after all, when her soul was imprisoned before, that person occupied this body and treated Huang Wudie like that, which inevitably made her feel a shadow in her heart.
"Qiao'er, accompany me to the courtyard." Han Xuan said lightly stroking Huang Wudie's hand.
Han Xuan is busy with military and political affairs on weekdays, and it is rare to have a moment to accompany his wife and children. Seeing their daughter Han Wanqing growing up day by day, Han Xuan and Huang Wudie couldn't help but sigh that old age was coming.
Han Xuan sometimes feels that he can live a life like this and enjoy the joy of family. But God seemed to be joking with him, and all kinds of things followed.
First, the news of Sun Quan's mother's death in Wu County came. Sun Quan was previously separated by Jia Xu, and he had the intention of voting for Liu Du, and this time his mother Mrs. Wu passed away in Wu County, and he was even more worried. Sun Quan then led his troops to surrender to Liu Du, and with Liu Du's help, he defeated the pursuers sent by Zhang Fei.
Later, Sun Quan helped Liu Du capture the counties west of Nanjun, and he saw that Sun Shangxiang had a good impression of Liu Du. His younger sister has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her vision is also very picky, and now she is too old to marry. Sun Quan then proposed to Liu Du, and Liu Du also wanted to marry Sun Shangxiang to win over Sun Quan, so he chose an auspicious day to marry Sun Shangxiang.
Liu Du worshiped Sun Quan as the general of Jianwei and was named the Marquis of Wu. Feng Sun Shangxiang is Mrs. Lingze, the princess of Hanzhong. Previously, Liu Du's wife died of illness, and Wu Yi's sister Wu who Liu Du married was only a side room, and Sun Shangxiang was crowned the princess of Hanzhong as soon as she married Liu Du.
Wu Yi had a lot of complaints about Liu Du, and at this time, Peng Yi happened to lobby Wu Yi to rebel. Peng Yi was previously appointed by Liu Du to govern the central government, starting from his bare hands, with power above the people of the state, his behavior was very arrogant, and his complacent status was changing day by day.
Although Zhuge Liang said that he received Peng Yi warmly on the surface, he did not think of him in his heart, and secretly made suggestions to Liu Du many times, saying that Peng Yi was a man with great ambitions, and it was difficult to guarantee what he would do in the future. Liu Du respected and trusted Zhuge Liang very much, and he observed what Peng Yi did, so he alienated Peng Yi a little and transferred him to Jiangyang Taishou.
When Peng Yi heard that he was transferred to a distant post, he was very unhappy in private, so he came to meet Wu Yi. Wu Yi only said that it was difficult to succeed alone, and asked Peng Yi to contact a few more generals under Liu Du before he could start an incident.
So Peng Yi found Ma Chao again. Ma Chao said to Peng Yi: "Mr. is outstanding, the lord is very serious about Mr., Mr. Yan can go hand in hand with Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and others, how can Mr. be appointed to a small county and disappoint people?" ”
Peng Yi said angrily: "This veteran ruffian is ridiculous and unreasonable. What can I say to me today! ”
Peng Yi said to Ma Chao again: "The general is an external official, and I am the internal response, so why not worry about peace in the world." ”
Ma Chao has been a parasitic person for a long time, and after returning to Liu Du, he often has a sense of danger, and he was surprised to hear Peng Yi say such words, and he was silent. After Peng Yi left, Ma Chao wrote a report on Peng Yi's words and handed it to Liu Du, so Peng Yi was arrested and imprisoned.
In the end, Liu Du released Wu Yi and Peng Yi was executed. After that, the factions in Shuzhong began to be chaotic, but fortunately, Zhuge Liang was good at governing the country and helped Liu Du properly coordinate all parties.
Then there was news from the secret agent of the Shadow Tiger Army arranged by Han Xuan in Yecheng, saying that Cao Cao had another head wind attack and was in unbearable pain, so he asked Hua Tuo to diagnose his pulse and see the disease.
Hua Tuo sighed: "The king's head hurts, and he gets up because of the wind. The root of the disease is in the head, the saliva cannot come out, and the decoction is taken in vain, and it cannot be treated. There is a certain method: first drink hemp boiling soup, then cut off the head with a sharp axe, and take out the saliva before removing the roots. ”
Cao Cao was already suspicious, and Hua Tuo had failed to save Cao Chong and Dian Wei before, so he was very dissatisfied with this so-called miracle doctor. Now when he heard Hua Tuo say that he would cut off his head for healing, he couldn't help but be furious: "You want to kill Guye!" ”
Hua Tuo was speechless, and Cao Cao said: "This person wants to take the opportunity to harm me, and he is no different from Ji Ping!" ”
So he was anxious to handbook Hua Tuo and put him in prison. Hua Tuo was in prison and had a jailer surnamed Wu, known as "Wu Prison". This man offered food and wine to Hua Tuo every day, and Hua Tuo was grateful for his kindness, so he said to him: "I am going to die now, and I hate that the Book of Green Bags has not been passed down to the world." Feeling the kindness of the public, there is nothing to be rewarded; I repair a book, and the public can send someone to my family, and take the "Green Capsule Book" to give it to the public, so as to continue my technique. ”
Wu was overjoyed and said: "If I get this book, I will abandon this battle and heal the sick of the world in order to pass on the virtue of Mr." ”
Hua Tuo repaired a letter to Wu and sent it to prison. Wu was imprisoned until Hua Tuo's house, and asked the boy to get the "Green Capsule Book". After returning to prison and giving it to Hua Tuo for inspection, Hua Tuo gave the book to Wu Prison. Wu took it home and hid it, and ten days later, Hua Tuo died of illness in prison.
After Wu was imprisoned to buy a coffin for Hua Tuo's funeral, he took off his errand and went home, ready to take out the "Green Capsule Book" to study, only to see that his wife had just found a pile of books and burned them there. Wu was frightened and hurriedly rushed over, but fortunately rescued the "Green Capsule Book".
After Han Xuan learned the news, he was also worried and then happy, the death of Hua Tuo, a miracle doctor on the same level as Zhang Zhongjing, was a great loss to the medical community of this dynasty. In history, Hua Tuo's "Green Capsule Book" has not been passed down, and now this Wu Prison has rescued this book, which can be regarded as a treasure.
Looking at Jingzhou again, Liu Bei finally consolidated Jingzhou's rule after more than half a year of development. Zhou Yu suggested that Liu Bei befriend Han Xuan on the one hand, and attack the north on the other, trying to attack Xu Du and capture the Son of Heaven as soon as possible.
Cao Cao learned of Liu Bei's comeback and intended to go north, preparing to personally lead his army to defeat Liu Bei and occupy Jingzhou. Only Sima Yi retorted: "Jingzhou is a place that must be fought for in the world, how can Han Xuan sit back and watch Liu Bei grow in Jingzhou?" You can send a person who argues to Jiangdong to lobby Han Xuan, and agree to take Jingzhou together! ”
Cao Cao listened to Sima Yi's plan and sent Jia Kui to Jianye as an envoy. Han Xuan consulted with the strategists, and Xu Shu advised: "Jiangdong now has Liu Du in the west and Cao Cao in the north. Liu Bei occupies the east and west fences of Jingzhou Chengjiang, and he also serves as a tiger and bear general such as Yu Zhang Fei under his subordinates, which can be used by the lord. According to Shu's opinion, it is appropriate to unite Liu Du and Liu Bei to make a northern expedition to the Central Plains, in order to achieve a great cause as soon as possible. ”
Gu Yong retorted: "How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the couch? If Jingzhou is down, our Jiangdong naval army can crisscross the river. Today, you can send Jia Kui back, date Cao Cao, and fight each other head to end; On the one hand, people can cross the river to explore Guan Yu's movements, and they can act quickly. ”
Zhuge Jin said to Han Xuan: "When a certain Wenyun Chang came to Jingzhou that year, Liu Bei married his wife, a son, and a daughter. His daughter is still young and has not been allowed to write a person. A certain is willing to propose to the lord and the prince. If Yun Chang agrees, he will discuss with Yun Chang to break Cao Cao; If Yunchang refuses, then help Cao take Jingzhou. ”
Han Xuan groaned slightly when he heard this, and heard that Guan Yu's daughter Guan Feng was a beautiful embryo, and she was also a good match for her son Han Xing. Han Xuan remembered the doll kiss he had ordered with Chen Wu at the wine table before, and immediately vetoed: "My son Han Xing and Zilie's daughter have promised to marry, how can I marry Guan Yu's daughter again?" And Guan Yu is not willing to let his daughter be a side room, no. ”
Zhuge Jin said again: "The lord still has a daughter, but there is no marriage contract? You can marry Yun Chang's son to win over Yun Chang. ”
Han Xuan struggled for a long time, and after going back, he consulted Han Wanqing and Huang Wudie's opinions, Han Wanqing said that he listened to Han Xuan's decision, and Huang Wudie didn't say much.
Han Xuan then sent Jia Kui back to Xudu, but sent Zhuge Jin as an envoy to Jingzhou. Zhuge Jin entered the city to see Guan Yu and finished the ceremony. Guan Yu asked, "What does Ziyu mean by coming here?" ”
Zhuge Jin smiled: "I came to ask for the good of the two families." My lord Chu Hou has a daughter, who is beautiful and intelligent. General Wen has a son and has come to ask for marriage. The two families got married, and they broke Cao. This sincere and beautiful thing, please think about it. ”
