Chapter 148: Persuading Hua Tuo

Liu Biao was wearing a cyan costume and sat upright on the seat, extremely upright, as if he was just like what he advertised on weekdays, upright, but it added a sense of culture. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Jingzhou civil and military forces below him are also divided into two rows, left and right, with upright bodies and eyes that do not squint.

But they all know Liu Biao's habits, and they know that he doesn't like the people under his command to be too loose, especially those who are arrogant. Of course, if he is really talented, he doesn't mind being a little more tolerant, but he can't break through his bottom line, such as the overly arrogant You Heng...

But at least for the people below, Liu Biao, who is sitting on the seat now, is a rare master. No matter how people in later generations slandered him, saying that he was just a gatekeeper dog, with some ability but no enterprising spirit, an indisputable fact is that under his governance, Jingzhou has been maintained in a relatively peaceful state and has not experienced any war.

As a result, the people from all over the Central Plains fled to Jingzhou after suffering from the war, which greatly promoted the development of Jingzhou and became one of the few regions at that time...

"What's going on with the coalition forces...", with a faint look on his face, Liu Biao asked.

"Lord, after Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an, Cao Cao chased Dong Zhuo before, fought in Xingyang, and returned defeated. Liu Dai, the Taishou of Yanzhou, asked Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, to borrow grain, but Mao refused. Dai led the army into the camp, killed Qiao Mao, and surrendered to all of them. Then Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others led the army to disperse, and now the coalition army is a plate of scattered sand, and I believe it will not be long before it will disperse on its own..."It was Kuai Yue, Liu Biao's most relied on strategist, who spoke.

As the top strategists in Jingzhou, the wisdom of the Kuai brothers is beyond doubt.

Liu Biao's words, although some of them do not match the name, but they still have some ability to recognize people, and they still have some understanding of the abilities of the two, so they value the two very much. In addition, the Kuai family is also needed to help balance the strength of the Cai family, so it is very dependent.

It's just that because they fell into the hands of Liu Biao, the master of the guard, the fame of the two could not match their talents, especially after Liu Biao died and the two surrendered to Cao Cao with Cai Mao, they were completely buried.

"I don't want the so-called princes to beg Dong, they are so anticlimactic..."Liu Biao listened to Kuai Yue's words, sighed in his heart, and didn't know what he was sighing about, but while saying this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

The coalition forces failed to succeed in rescuing the Son of Heaven, which naturally made him sigh, especially the fate of the Liu family, but on the other hand...

The Son of Heaven was not rescued, but it was also his heart...

It's just that these things can't be told to these people under his command, and among the civil and military forces under Liu Biao, except for the Kuai brothers and Cai Mao, who can barely guess some, I'm afraid that few can really guess Liu Biao's thoughts.

"It's still the lord who is wise, knowing that these rabble can't do anything, so he rejected the invitation of the alliance, otherwise wouldn't it have become a joke like them..."

"Exactly, that Yuan Shao proclaimed himself the leader of the alliance and led those princes to the alliance, thinking that they could at least break through Chang'an, but he didn't want to actually kill each other, it was really a big joke..."

In fact, the reason why Liu Biao did not participate in the alliance was that in addition to not being optimistic about the coalition forces, there were many other reasons, but now listening to the praise of the martial arts under the account, Liu Biao was still a little fluttering.

"Lord, since the coalition army has been dispersed, then Yan Shao believes that it will not be long before he will return to Beihai, I don't know the lord..." glanced at Cai Mao and the others with some disdain, Kuai Liang leaned forward slightly and asked.

"Yan Shao..."Hearing this name, Liu Biao frowned slightly.

During this time, most things for Liu Biao were actually relatively smooth, but Yan Shao's incident really annoyed him. Now when I hear this name, even my originally happy mood has become bad.

However, Yan Shao was a prince in the end, and even Liu Biao had to be a little cautious, so he sat up straight and asked. "Speaking of which, what happened to Yan Shao?"

At the beginning, Liu Biao still admired Yan Shao very much.

First, it is okay to look good, and secondly, it can be regarded as a young hero, so when Yan Shao arrived in Jingzhou at the beginning, Liu Biao invited Yan Shao to a banquet almost every day, which can be regarded as a rare honeymoon period between Yan Shao and Liu Biao.

But...

Who gave up a Huang Zhong...

Liu Biao didn't know much about Huang Zhong's ability, he only knew that he was a sharpshooter in Nanyang, so he was famous. It stands to reason that this can't make Liu Biao and Yan Shao have such a quarrel, but who let Zhao Yun have such a precedent?

That Zhao Yun was originally just a pawn under Yuan Shao's account, and he was even inferior to Huang Zhong in terms of fame or something, but he was recognized by Yan Shaohui and became one of the most brave generals under his account.

Lu Bu's reputation is thunderous even if it is Liu Biao, and if the martial arts of these two can be tied with Lu Bu, they must be at a super-first-class level. Liu Biao asked himself that there were many good generals under his command, but the fierce generals who could reach this level were...

That's really not a single one...

Maybe Wenpin can also be regarded as a fierce general, but on the one hand, Wenpin at this time has not yet emerged, on the other hand, even if it is Wenpin at its peak, there are many gaps compared with Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, etc., which is how Liu Biao can not be hot.

Tai Shi Ci he had never seen it, but Zhao Yun had seen it.

Not to mention anything else, at least just by selling out, Zhao Yun can already kill all the generals under Liu Biao's account in seconds, and the heroic appearance of the white robe and silver armor makes Liu Biao remember it deeply, and he loves it very much.

Even if Huang Zhong's martial arts are not as good as Zhao Yun, since he can make Yan Shao so polite and virtuous, I believe that it will definitely not be bad, how can Liu Biao let go of such a talent?

Besides, because of a Zhao Yun incident, Yuan Shao has almost become the laughing stock of the world, if Yan Shao really took this Huang Zhong away, wouldn't he be reduced to the same fate as Yuan Shao?

Although he said that a gentleman does not win people's love, as long as he thought that there was such a fierce general in Xiangyang City, Liu Biao couldn't help but think about it. This is also the reason why he will let Cai Mao test it later. Of course, it's just a test, after all, Yan Shao's side has already seized many opportunities, even if it fails, it's not surprising, but Liu Biao feels that he still has some opportunities, who made him the assassin of Jingzhou, and Yan Shao is just a Beihai Taishou?

Of course, if Huang Zhong took refuge in him because of this, Liu Biao would be happy, but he would also look down on Huang Zhong because of this. After all, for a scribe like Liu Biao, such a power-hungry person is not worth paying attention to. Huang Zhong's decision can be regarded as correct...

Originally, even if he failed, Liu Biao might not be angry, and he might not even be so stiff with Yan Shao because of this. As the lord of Jingzhou, at least he still has this bearing.

But who let Cai Mao play right and wrong in the middle? As the person who is the best at figuring out Liu Biao's heart, Cai Mao knows very well how to provoke him.

In addition, after Cai Mao got another belly from Huang Zhong, so...

And that's how it turned out...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Dividing Lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Cai Mao has always been in charge of the affairs on Yan Shao's side, and Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang don't know much about this aspect, so they didn't rush to interject, but looked at Cai Mao who was sitting opposite.

After listening to Liu Biao's inquiry, Cai Mao hurriedly walked out and saluted Liu Biao. "Back to the lord, Yan Shao didn't know where to invite a doctor, it is said that the medical skills are very good, and now he is treating Huang Zhong's son, it seems that there is some effect..."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Liu Biao couldn't help frowning.

Noticing this scene, Cai Mao hurriedly leaned in and chuckled. "My lord, don't worry, I have already asked the doctor in the city, Huang Zhong's son's illness is very troublesome, no matter how good Yan Shao's favored doctor's medical skills are, it is impossible to diagnose and cure it in a moment or three. The lord has cut off the grain and grass of Yan Shao, although this guy has also purchased some in the city, but how long can he hold on, I am afraid that he will have to leave within two or three days, two or three days, even if the doctor has great ability, what is the use..."

Hearing this, Liu Biao's face was also relieved.

Cai Mao and Liu Biao were talking and laughing here, but the Kuai brothers over there frowned slightly.

For them, it is really unwise to offend a prince because of an unknown martial artist. It's just that Liu Biao was angry at that time, and they couldn't dissuade them when they arrived, and now...

Because of the cut off of grain and grass, they and Yan Shao have basically turned their faces, but it is useless to dissuade them.

"What Dezu said is very true, no matter how powerful the doctor's medical skills are, it is impossible to cure the child's condition in two or three days, you remember, when Yan Shao's army left Xiangyang, you will lead troops to surround Huang Zhong's residence..." This time, I really want to know if this Huang Hansheng can still be as hard-mouthed as before..."

But he planned to wait until Yan Shao left, and use his power to force Huang Zhong to surrender to him...

When necessary, he even plans to use some means, anyway, the last person to execute is Cai Mao, even if there is some infamy, it basically has nothing to do with him.

"The lord is really a talented person..."Cai Mao hurriedly flattered, but he was a little tired of this job in his heart, plus Huang Zhong was not polite to him before, so he couldn't help but think about whether to make a hindrance like before.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Dividing Lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Not to mention the situation of Cai Mao and Liu Biao for the time being, at Huang Zhong's residence, Yan Shao was also asking Hua Tuo about Huang Xu's condition.

"Doctor Hua, I don't know what you said earlier?" Thinking of Hua Tuo's confident look just now, Yan Shao couldn't help but ask.

Not only him, but others also looked over to see what Hua Tuo's method was.

saw Hua Tuo stroking his beard confidently and smiling. "It is indeed very difficult to make this child recover in a short period of time, and it can even be said that it is impossible, but it is very easy to let him leave Jingzhou, didn't the envoy plan to let this child leave Jingzhou by water? The land route is bumpy, and the waterway is stable, with the old man's medical skills, if he has been following him, he can completely let the child leave Jingzhou safely, and when he leaves Jingzhou, he can find a place at will, settle down for the time being, and wait until the child's condition is healed..."

In fact, Hua Tuo was even confident that Huang Xu's condition would be slightly better on the boat, at least he could bear the fatigue of the journey. It's just that there are unforeseen circumstances, and the waterway is indeed much safer than the land route, but there is a very serious premise in this, that is, the weather must be good.

Why have there been so many accidents on ships sailing at sea in history? The most fundamental cause is natural disasters. The sea is unpredictable, and any natural disaster can wipe out an entire ship. Storms, thunder and lightning, or even just a bit of fog can cause a whole host of huge problems.

Naturally, there is no need to worry about sailing in inland waters, but natural disasters are still fearful. There are never a few ships on the Yangtze River that have sunk due to sudden natural disasters, and the already sinister situation...

In case of not very good weather, not to mention the risk of subversion and sinking, just a little bump may worsen Huang Xu's condition. In this case, it is not easy to save Huang Xu's life, how dare Hua Tuo pack the ticket?

But even if this is the case, it is already a very rare thing, and it is like a lifesaver for Yan Shao and others. Hearing that Hua Tuo had a way to make Huang Xu leave Jingzhou safely, almost everyone in the room had a smile on their faces.

"If the divine doctor can really do this, Huang Zhong will definitely repay the divine doctor's kindness in the future..."Coming to Hua Tuo, Huang Zhong couldn't help but bow down.

"How dare you, a person who is just a mountain and a wilderness, how dare he let the general perform such a big gift..."Hua Tuo did not dare to be proud at all. As I said before, although Hua Tuo is a miracle doctor of the world, he does have some dusty atmosphere.

But in the final analysis, he has always been an official fan, and his biggest hobby is to be an official.

The strong man named Huang Zhong in front of him didn't mention what kind of ability he had for the time being, since he could be treated like this by Yan Shao, he would definitely be reused after waiting in Beihai in the future.

Hua Tuo's perception of himself is still very clear, and his medical skills are indeed very good, but people in this era do not look down on people who study medicine. Especially for those in power, the so-called doctors are basically people who come and go when they are called.

Even if there is a little respect, it is basically only when it is used, and usually Hua Tuo can even see the contempt on those people's faces from the naked eye.

Don't look at the current Huang Zhong's identity is not as good as himself, I'm afraid that after arriving in Beihai, he will stand on his head in an instant, if he puts on an arrogant posture at this time, if he is held against him, I'm afraid...

It's better to sell more favors to the other party at this time, so that when the other party is in a high position, he remembers today's kindness, and it is very likely that he will take care of himself somewhat, so that he will really make a lot of money.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Dividing Lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

I have to say that if Hua Tuo can really save Huang Xu's life, Huang Zhong will definitely be grateful, and even if there is really something in the future, I believe that there will be no hesitation.

For these fighting men, it has almost become a creed to repay kindness.

But...

Yan Shao knew very well that it was not just the other party's doctor's parents who could toss Hua Tuo in such a short period of time, so when he saw Hua Tuo smiling, but after looking at him with some expectation in his eyes, Yan Shao knew very well what the other party wanted...

"No matter what, the divine doctor has solved a big trouble for Shao this time, and Shao Zi should do his best to repay the divine doctor..." Originally, the divine doctor helped Shao with such a great favor, and Shao should treat him in a high position, but the medical skills of the divine doctor, if it was just an ordinary mediocre official, it would be a pity, and now Shao has two ways for the divine doctor to choose..."

As I said before, although Hua Tuo has almost become the most skilled person in the world, but in fact, I regret why I chose to be a doctor in the first place, instead of choosing to be an officialβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” in fact, since Hua Tuo has the ability to become a generation of miracle doctors, at least it shows that he is definitely not stupid, if he chooses to be an official, even if he will not become such as Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu, etc., at least he is much stronger than ordinary mediocre officials, especially Jiao He and other waste.

It is precisely because he has some obsession with being an official in his heart that he chose to come to Jingzhou as soon as possible to see Huang Zhong's son, in order to give him what he wanted when Yan Shao sent someone to find Hua Tuo...

Otherwise, for this kind of miracle doctor, Huang Xu's illness is a disease, and the illness of the patient in his hands is not a disease? If it weren't for such a promise, how could Hua Tuo put down the seriously ill patients in his hands and run to Xiangyang?

Therefore, after hearing Yan Shao's promise, although his face remained calm, Hua Tuo's heart was already a little excited. "Envoy, please speak..."

"The first one is to choose an official position in Beihai County under my jurisdiction and let you hold it, so that firstly, you have achieved what you want, and secondly, it can be regarded as repaying your kindness today. The second one, now the soldiers are everywhere, the people are in the midst of fire and water, although Shao only has a meager strength, but he is willing to support the Han family and pacify the world, but if the war is pacified, then the army must be carried out, so the casualties must be very heavy. If one is not handled properly, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable, and this requires someone like you to stand up..."

"How can you save these thousands of people with your strength alone? Therefore, Shao plans to set up a special institution in Beihai to manage the doctors in the entire Beihai, one is to carry out proper management, so that in the event of an epidemic or other problems, all these doctors can be gathered as quickly as possible, and the other is the spread of medical skills, and now there are too many quacks, there are many in this Xiangyang City, otherwise Xu'er's condition will not become so deteriorating, and the epidemic, if there can be more miracle doctors like you, Wouldn't there be no need to worry about epidemics in the future? Therefore, Shao hopes that the divine doctor can take up this position and teach your medical skills to more people..."

It is said, it is just said, at least according to the name of a few decent people in Xiangyang City.

Originally, Huang Xu's condition was not so complicated, at least not so serious, but because the so-called famous doctors that Huang Zhong found at the beginning were all people who deceived the world and stole their reputations, and the prescriptions they prescribed did not have much effect, so Huang Xu's condition was so troublesome.

When Huang Zhong found the real famous doctor, the problem came...

At that time, Huang Xu's condition had already begun to deteriorate, and he missed the best time for treatment, which eventually led to Huang Xu's hanging of his life through expensive medicinal materials...

It can be said that it is precisely because there are too many quacks in Xiangyang City that such a thing happens, in fact, Huang Zhong is not the only one who has similar things, even in modern history, similar things have happened...

For example, we all know Cai Yi...

Belch? You don't know?

Well, here's a brief introduction.

Cai Ye We all know that when Yuan Shikai was proclaimed emperor, he stood up against Yuan Shikai's general. This Cai Ye was originally the governor of Yunnan, and he was also a very powerful figure, because as I said before, the more inconvenient the transportation period, the more serious the localism.

Especially in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the rejection of outsiders was more serious, and it was also because of this that Cai Ye was one of the few governors who could gain a firm foothold in the local area as a provincial β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” was one of the warlords.

At the beginning, except for Cai Yi, most of the governors were from this province, such as Shaanxi Province, and your candidate for governor must be selected from Shaanxi.

It was precisely because of Cai Yi's outstanding ability that Yuan Shikai was deeply jealous, so he sent someone to summon him to Beijing and put him under house arrest. In order to confuse Yuan Shikai, Cai Ye began to linger in the land of fireworks, and only then did Cai Ye and Xiao Fengxian have the story.

Originally, it didn't have much to do with us, but then there was a little bit of it...

Historically, Cai Yi died of laryngeal disease, which is actually laryngeal tuberculosis, laryngeal tuberculosis is caused by pulmonary tuberculosis, and the treatment was more difficult at that time, but it was not a terminal disease that would necessarily lead to death. Cai's own military doctor, Li Pizhang, was originally diagnosed with ordinary chronic laryngitis, and tuberculosis was not detected until Cai entered Chengdu. Cai's illness began to be serious during or at the end of the Battle of Naxi, when Cai was extremely tired, ate very poorly, and his physical condition became worse and worse.

At the end of the war, Cai's condition became more serious, and Cai led his army into Luzhou to prepare to occupy Chengdu. Liang Qichao specially telegraphed a German doctor in Chongqing, Asmi, to rush to Luzhou, and Asmi took plum repellent therapy and injected Cai Ye with a shot of 'Sherfosan', which was a new drug invented in Germany at that time. What does this have to do with quacks? In fact, the German doctor Asmi used the anti-syphilis therapy is a traditional treatment specifically for syphilis, syphilis is a serious venereal disease that is not easy for patients to speak, at that time Chinese officials went to the Qinglou to become a trend, syphilis is very common, and Cai Yi has a story with Xiao Fengxian that has been spread, and the symptoms are similar to syphilis, the German doctor who practiced medicine in China obviously relied on his own experience with Chinese officials, subjectively judged that Cai Yi was suffering from syphilis, and Cai Ye also admitted to him that he had a relationship with Xiao Fengxian, As a result, serious misdiagnosis occurred, which made it difficult for Cai Ye to be saved.

Li Pizhang, who arrived in Luzhou three days late, saw Cai Yi's symptoms after the injection, and had an argument with Asme, who insisted that Cai Yi was suffering from flower willow disease. 606 was invented in Germany at that time, it was a very rare drug, it was the best nemesis of syphilis that was prevalent all over the world at that time, it was very toxic, and when it was used wrongly, the consequences were extremely serious.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Dividing Lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Yan Shao would call Hua Tuo, in addition to wanting him to treat Huang Zhong's son in order to recruit Huang Zhong, there was also a very important purpose for Hua Tuo's medical skills.

As mentioned earlier, every time there is a war, it will mean a lot of casualties, not only because of the war, but also because of the epidemic caused by the war. A plague alone can be terrifying.

Historically, more people have been killed or injured by the pandemic than they have died as a direct result of military accidents.

The reason why things like the Wuhu Rebellion happened later was also related to the fact that too many wars caused epidemics, and various reasons made the population too small.

Since it is rare for Yan Shao to come back, he naturally has to find a way to change this result, at least to ensure that there are as few epidemics as possible. So a miracle doctor like Hua Tuo has become an indispensable help, but a single Hua Tuo is not enough, after all, China is so big, unless Hua Tuo has a doppelganger technique, there is nothing to do.

Therefore, Yan Shao's real purpose is to make Hua Tuo the director of the medical institution, on the one hand, to manage all the doctors, and on the other hand, to spread his experience in medical skillsβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” if he has to say, is to become the dean of a super medical school first, and then slowly become the dean of all medical schools.

This kind of thinking is undoubtedly very advanced in this era, but in Yan Shao's opinion, it is necessary.

As long as he thinks that the vast majority of Han people in history died of epidemics, Yan Shao shuddered...

"Do you mean, let me take this management position..."Hua Tuo's expression was somewhat tangled...

For him, he would prefer to become an official, which is also his dream. And although Yan Shao seemed to be very generous and gave him two choices, he hoped that he would choose the second one, and the second one meant that he was back to being a doctor, although he was the most powerful among the doctors...

But...

To be honest, as the head of the doctor in Beihai County, he really has no interest in this...

But if he refused like this, it was easy to anger Yan Shao, which made Hua Tuo especially entangled...

seemed to see Hua Tuo's entanglement, but Yan Shao chuckled. "Don't take this position lightly, that's right, if you go to Beihai right now, you can really only manage the doctor of Beihai County, and Beihai County is relatively small, but you may not know very well, although a certain is only a Beihai county guard, but in Qingzhou it is also a unique person, Qingzhou six counties, except for a Donglai County, none of the other counties and countries dare to disobey the meaning of a certain one. Especially during the period when Jiao Thorn Shi has just died, Qingzhou has no owner, if you go to Beihai, I believe it won't be long before all the doctors in Qingzhou will accept your management, and even, even the doctors of the entire Hebei Province will not be impossible in the future..."

When he said this, in fact, Yan Shao was a little helpless, if it was in the era that Yan Shao had traveled over, the Minister of Health was a super powerful position, it could almost be said to be a pie falling from the sky, how could anyone dislike this?

It's a pity that there is no way, it is a super good choice for doctors in later generations, don't you see that there are always doctors in the highest-paying profession? Especially in countries such as the United States, doctors are the highest salaries among the highest, and because of the super high tuition fees, it is almost a profession that is passed down from family to generationβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” medical expenses in the United States are very expensive, if there is no medical insurance, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford, which also leads to the fact that doctors are a high-income profession, not to mention, one year there are nearly 3,700 students who want to enter Yale Medical School, but only 176 are admitted, less than 5% of the number of applicants.

But in this era, doctors are an out-and-out civilian class, which can only be regarded as a relatively high level in the ordinary profession, but there is no way to compare with the scholar class in any case, which is also the reason why Hua Tuo will regret it.

This time, Hua Tuo rushed over so enthusiastically in order to get rid of his identity as a doctor, but Yan Shao gave him the choice to continue to be a doctor, and he was the biggest one among that kind of doctors...

There is no way, in order to persuade Hua Tuo not to be so entangled, Yan Shao can only explain him as much as possible...

seemed to see Yan Shao's helplessness, Guan Hai next to him also stood up and tried his best to prove Yan Shao's words, but when he said this, he looked at Hua Tuo with some contempt.

Originally, because of Hua Tuo's medical skills, he still respects the other party very much, but just like in the eyes of ordinary people, the so-called miracle doctors are all people with noble conduct, Guan Hai naturally thinks the same way. Who would have thought that Hua Tuo seemed to be a little dusty, but in fact he was an official fan, and now he was even more entangled in the size of his official position after going to Beihai, which was too much...

Hua Tuo struggled for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.

Of course, Yan Shao's words to Guan Hai also had a great effect, and he knew a little about Yan Shao's status in Beihai. It is clear that Yan Shao in Beihai can be said to be the same, and his influence in Qingzhou is even greater than the original thorn history, and now that Jiao He is dead, Yan Shao has no one in Qingzhou who can check and balance, in other words, it is not impossible for Yan Shao to promise him to be the head of the doctors in Qingzhou...

Originally, with his ability, even if he went to Beihai, he was just an ordinary official, but now Yan Shao gave him another choice...

One is an ordinary official, and the other is the pinnacle of Qingzhou doctors, how to choose, it seems to be self-evident...

"The old man chooses the second!" (To be continued.) )
