Chapter 57: The Grace of Saving Lives
Saving?
Zhuge Liang was a little surprised.
He dared to guarantee that he Zhuge Liang didn't know Wen Ping before, let alone have any life-saving grace for Wen Ping.
Of course, in order to assist Liu Bei in achieving hegemony, Zhuge Liang did think about Wenpin, but he didn't have time to have anything to do with it. Besides, it's not a life-saver, is it?
After sitting back at the table, Wen Ping said: "Mr. 's life-saving grace, Wen Ping didn't dare or forget, he should have gone to Longzhong to thank Mr. in person, but he had no choice but to leave the station, and he only thanked Mr. in person until now." ”
There is a way that the grace of saving life should be reciprocated by the spring.
Wen Ping can't repay him, and he always wants to thank Kong Ming in person, right?
It's just that Zhuyang City is more than 100 miles away from Longzhong, and Wen Ping is the main general stationed in Zhuyang City, so he can't easily leave Zhuyang City too far. Therefore, even if Wen Ping wanted to thank Zhuge Kongming in person, he couldn't do it for the time being.
Fortunately, Zhuge Kongming came to Chuyang, and Wenpin's wish to thank him in person was finally achieved.
Zhuge Liang held the feather fan in his left hand, stroked the feathers on the fan with his right hand, groaned a little, and asked: "What General Wen said about the life-saving grace, Zhuge Liang really doesn't know, and please let the general know." ”
Wen Ping asked: "It is rumored in the world that Zhuge Pox was initiated by Mr. Kong Ming, yes or no?" ”
Zhuge Liang bowed his head, but Wen Ping smiled: "That's it." ”
"Sir doesn't know, my wife is from Fangling County, and the promotion of Zhuge pox has not yet spread to this county."
Fangling County is adjacent to Shangyong, and behind Zhuyang Pass, it is the boundary of Hanzhong.
At present, although Zhuge Pox is being fully promoted, its primary promotion place is still in Jingxiang Seven Counties. Boundaries like Jiangdong and Hanzhong, which are adjacent to Jingxiang, before and after the New Year, it would be good if Zhuge pox could be promoted. It's not that Zhuge Liang and Zhang Zhongjing cherish themselves, it's really that the number of doctors is limited at present, and the promotion of Zhuge pox can't be popularized throughout the country in a short period of time.
Therefore, Wen Ping said that Fangling County has not yet popularized Zhuge pox, which is the truth.
"More than a month ago, my wife took the dog back to her mother's house to save relatives, but my father-in-law's Zhuangzi coincided with smallpox. Fangling County was blocked and isolated in time, and although smallpox did not affect the entire territory of Fangling County, my Yue's Zhuangzi was really miserable. ”
Speaking of which, although Wen Ping is a martial artist, he also seems to be unbearable.
Every smallpox outbreak is a great plague.
If it is blocked in time, it will be a disaster to a Zhuangzi at most; If the lockdown is not timely, a county, or even several counties, may be ravaged by the smallpox virus, which is not without lessons in history.
Smallpox is not like dysentery.
With proper preparation of medicine, there is still a cure for dysentery, but smallpox is a disease that cannot be cured.
Therefore, every time smallpox broke out, hundreds or thousands of people died tragically, not to mention men, women, and children.
Under the jurisdiction of Fangling County, smallpox broke out in Zhuangzi, where the old man's house was located, and the results can be imagined.
Moreover, according to Wen Ping, his wife and son happened to go back to their parents' house to save their relatives during that time.
At this time, Zhuge Liang somewhat understood why the life-saving grace that Wen Ping said came.
……
I only heard Wen Ping continue: "Mrs. and the dog have not returned, after asking the lord, I took my own soldiers to greet them, and witnessed the tragic situation of my Yue's Zhuangzi, there are nearly 2,000 people in the village, and the rest are less than 100 people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is purgatory on earth!" ”
"Fortunately, the Zhuge pox initiated by Mr. has already been popularized in Zhuyang City, and his wife and children have been vaccinated, so there is no problem."
Wenpin is stationed in Zhuyang City and cannot leave the station without authorization.
However, his wife and son have not returned from Fangling County for a long time, and he can still ask Liu Jingzhou for permission, and only after obtaining permission can he lead troops to meet him. Of course, you can only bring a few personal soldiers.
After all, although Liu Biao asked Wen Ping to garrison Zhuyang City, he had no plans to enter Hanzhong at present.
And Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, at present, is also wholeheartedly smashing Liu Zhang in Shuzhong, and he has no idea of making enemies with Liu Biao.
Because of this, Liu Biao and Zhang Lu are currently relatively fine.
If Wen Ping entered Fangling County with a large army, no matter what he did, he was afraid that Zhang Lu would not be able to sleep well.
Therefore, when Wen Ping entered Fangling, he could only bring a few personal soldiers; And most of the troops stationed in Fangling County will not be good.
On that day, Wen Ping took more than 50 personal soldiers, regardless of the blockade of the garrison in Fangling County, and ran into the Zhuangzi where Yue's house was located. There are nearly 2,000 people in the whole village, and the rest are less than 100; The deceased was festered by blisters all over his body, and his death was horrific.
Wen Ping is a general who marches and fights, and he has seen all kinds of tragic situations on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, you can still rely on your own strength to fight your way out.
But when facing smallpox, even if it is a Condensing Gang Realm martial artist, he can only kneel and sing about conquest!
In that smallpox plague, his father-in-law's family almost died, and there was not even a single subordinate left. But his wife and sons, as well as a dozen servants and maidservants who had brought them with him, were not in serious trouble except for fear.
This is due to the comprehensive promotion of Zhuge pox in Jingxiang.
Zhuyang City is adjacent to Xiangyang, and it also belongs to Nanyang County, including the garrison, all of which have been planted with Zhuge pox.
If there was no Zhuge Pox, if his family had not planted Zhuge Pox, he was a martial artist in the Ning Gang Realm, except for watching his wife and children die, what could he do?
Facing the irresistible death, Wen Ping felt that Zhuge Pox was the lifesaver for his whole family.
And Zhuge Kongming, who discovered Zhuge Pox, is the life-saving benefactor of his Wenping family!
Of course, Zhuge Pox must not be the only one he saved.
Wen Ping felt that he couldn't care about what others did, but he needed to show something to his life-saving benefactor.
Although it is said that the divine doctor Zhongjing, the doctors of the Nieyang Zhang family, can be regarded as the life-saving benefactors hired by him.
But if there is no Zhuge pox of Mr. Kong Ming, when facing smallpox, the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing and his doctors of the Niyang Zhang family are also helpless.
If so, the first thing Wenpin thanked was Zhuge Kongming.
"Mr.'s life-saving grace, Wen Ping dare not or forget, in the future, Mr. will be sent, and he will obey his fate!"
After saying the reason, Wen Ping got up, bowed to Zhuge Liang again, and made a promise.
People in this era attach great importance to promises, and they will not easily promise them.
However, compared to saving his wife and children, Wen Ping felt that a promise was nothing.
What's more, the grace of saving lives should be reciprocated, shouldn't it?
"It's just a little Zhuge pox, it's not specially set up for General Wen, it can save the general's wife and noble son, it's purely accidental, and the general doesn't have to worry about it." Zhuge Liang replied.
Zhuge pox can make the people immune to smallpox, which has long been verified.
It is also inevitable that Wenpin's wife and children can walk around the smallpox epidemic without hindrance.
As for the life-saving grace that Wen Ping said, this is also for sure.
But for Zhuge Liang, if every citizen who planted Zhuge Pox is a life-saving grace and needs to be repaid, then the life-saving grace that Zhuge Liang has harvested is not too much!
Zhuge Liang originally launched Zhuge Pox, the main purpose was to benefit the people, in order to collect luck.
He didn't think that someone would repay him for saving his life.
……
Zhuge Liang didn't expect that the Zhuge pox he planted would inadvertently receive a promise from Wenpin.
For Wenpin, Zhuge Liang has been coveting it for a long time.
Wen Ping is a martial artist in the Ning Gang Realm, there is no doubt about this.
The loyalty of the clerk is very good, which can be seen from the historical records of later generations. Moreover, if it weren't for the loyal Ma Zai, would Liu Biao put Wenpin in the strategic place of Zhuyang Pass?
More importantly, Wenpin is brave and resourceful.
If he is just brave, at most he is like Zhang Laosan, just a reckless man, it is okay to be a general who charges into battle, but it is impossible to be alone. And now, it is the time for Wenpin to be alone.
is so handsome, Zhuge Liang has long wanted to dig it up for Uncle Liu Huang.
It's just that Uncle Liu has not escaped from Xuchang now, nor has he erected Uncle Liu's big sword, so Zhuge Liang is not rash to dig around for Uncle Liu.
Besides, it is definitely impossible to betray his father-in-law if he wants to be hired for the sake of today's mere promise.
If it's not good, there is still a possibility that the chickens will fly and the eggs will be beaten, and they will turn against each other.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang wants to dig up Wenpin, not now.
Anyway, according to calculations, Liu Jingzhou does not have a few years to live.
After Liu Jingzhou dies, or is critically ill, it will be foolproof to dig up the clerk at that time.
And now, Wen Ping is stationed in Zhuyang Pass, which is the biggest help to Uncle Liu Huang two years later.
