Zhang Liao nodded and said, "What the master said is naturally right, and the disciple should remember the teachings." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Jia Xu shook his head and smiled: "You have always seen big things, why should you be so humble." ”

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "The disciple can see the big things clearly, but the small things can't see through. ”

In order to conquer the world by the imperial court and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, this strategy Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, and Fu Zhu have all mentioned it, and now Jia Xu mentioned it again, and Zhang Liao himself has thought about it for a long time.

It is difficult to say the pros and cons of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, for princes like Yuan Shao who have a good background, high reputation, and can gather people, but for princes like Cao Cao and Zhang Liao, who are from poor backgrounds, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

After Cao Cao's Yanzhou was captured in history, although he finally defeated Lu Bu and took it back, he lost the hearts of the people in the land of Yan and Xu.

For Zhang Liao, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes to do the same, his reputation is now in the people, if he can implement this strategy, his reputation will be spread all over the world, talents from all over the world will return, and many of his decrees will also try to be promoted throughout the world, and more importantly, he will fight whoever he wants, and it is justifiable to find a reason.

On the contrary, if the other princes welcomed the Son of Heaven, then his situation would be extremely unfavorable, in history Yuan Shao was difficult to weigh the pros and cons of his own welcome to the Son of Heaven, hesitated, and finally vetoed, but he ignored the influence and blow of others to welcome the Son of Heaven, even if he didn't want it, he couldn't give it to others.

Therefore, it is imperative for Zhang Liao to welcome the Son of Heaven, but he must also choose the opportunity to welcome the Son of Heaven, and he can't do it early, otherwise in the eyes of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, he will have the same image as Li Dao and Guo Yan, which is difficult to reverse, and the gains outweigh the losses, so it is necessary to wait for the Son of Heaven to act when he is in trouble, which is the best time, and the role of saving will make his relationship with the Son of Heaven relatively harmonious in the future.

Now that the difficulties in Guanzhong have erupted in advance, it is already time to act on their own.

Zhang Liao said a few words to Jia Xu, and saw Jia Xu start to gasp, he touched Jia Xu's forehead, and began to have a fever again, and immediately took a basin cloth towel to cool Jia Xu's forehead, although his medical skills are not fine, but after all, he is a human being in two lives, and he is stronger than Zhang's in daily care.

Seeing that although Jia Xu was still in a serious condition, his eyes became calm, and he lost the gloom and decadence just now, Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as Jia Xu's desire to survive was strong and he no longer had a desperate heart, the situation would be better, and now he is just waiting for Zuo Ci to come over.

At this time, Zhang's came in, the husband and wife were connected, he suddenly saw the change in Jia Xu, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and was about to speak, when a voice came from outside: "Boy, the poor road is here." ”

Zhang Liao was overjoyed, and when he opened the door, he pulled in Zuo Ci, who was dressed in a Taoist robe: "Niubi, why did you come here after a long time?" ”

Zuo Ci's face darkened suddenly, and he was about to have a seizure, but he saw Zhang Liao prostrating himself on the ground: "Dao Chief, please!" ”

On the couch, Jia Xu wanted to get up when he saw this, Zuo Ci's face softened, he helped Zhang Liao up, and sighed: "Poor Dao will do his best, but this epidemic is not what Poor Dao is good at." ”

He did it to the side of the bed, checked Jia Xu's pulse, and said in a moment: "Acupuncture and decoction, the poor way can ensure that the old fox's condition will not deteriorate, as for whether it can get better, it depends on the old fox's own creation." ”

Zhang's face showed joy, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Daoist." ”

Jia Xu also saluted Zuo Ci on the couch: "There is a long way to go." ”

Zuo Ci shook his head: "Don't thank me, Poor Dao was also pulled by this kid, and he was concerned about your old fox's illness." ”

Jia Xu smiled but did not speak.

Zuo Ci stroked his long beard: "Don't be complacent, this kid is in a hurry to cure you, it's not that you want to let him be a cow and a horse, the hard days are still ahead." ”

Jia Xu's expression remained unchanged: "It should be like this." ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly smiled on the side: "How can you make the master do his best, the master should be the master who holds a cup of tea, is accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze, and looks down on the ups and downs." ”

Zuo Ci snorted with an unkind expression: "That should be the old way, but you kid was pulled to be a cow and a horse all day long." ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "Boil the medicine first, boil the medicine first." ”

Zuo Ci immediately waved his pen to prescribe medicine, Zhang was inexplicably excited on the side, Jia Xu said on the couch: "Wenyuan, there is Zuo Daochang here to boil medicine for me to diagnose and treat, you go to deal with official business, don't miss a big thing." ”

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "Take charge of the overall situation, that's Xun Wenruo's business, handle official business, that's Du Bohou's business, my business is to accompany the master until the master recovers from his illness and jumps down to stay." ”

Zhang laughed, and Jia Xu was speechless.

In the next two days, Zhang Liao has been here with Jia Xu, Jia Xu's condition has stabilized, but it is still not good, Zhang Liao and Zuo Ci have not been infected. Generally speaking, strong people are resistant to the plague, and most of the people who are infected are weak or hungry, unless a highly contagious disease such as the Black Death kills a large area.

Zhang Liao did not know anything about the pathology of the plague like the people of the time, thinking that it was a catastrophe, most of them were extremely afraid, he was relatively calm, he observed Jia Xu's condition in the past two days, and also went to see the situation of other patients in the quarantine area, he could not determine what the plague was this time, but it would not be a violent infectious disease such as the Black Death and smallpox, because it was caused by war and rainfall, so Zhang Liao estimated that it was not a flu virus, it should be caused by some kind of pathogenic bacteria.

As for what kind of bacteria he can't determine, but what he can determine is that the route of infection is mostly the water source, because in these two days, he has ordered all the people under his rule not to drink raw water, but must drink boiled water, and then open a warehouse, and transfer grain from the east of the river, put porridge, solve the problem of hunger of the displaced people, and improve their own resistance.

It's just that Jia Xu's condition is still not improving, which makes Zhang Liao quite worried, but Jia Xu's own mood has calmed down, although he still has a fever and vomiting, he has often stayed and walked around.

Five days later, the arrival of a person made Zhang Liao very happy, this person is surnamed Zhang Mingji Zi Zhongjing, a native of Nanyang, Jingzhou, known as a medical saint by later generations, and is best at treating plagues such as typhoid fever.

After Zhang Liao learned that the plague broke out in Guanzhong and Jia Xu was infected, his first thought was to find Zhang Zhongjing, he flew a pigeon to send a letter to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and then asked Zhao Wu to find Zhang Ji in person and handed him a handwritten letter from Zhang Liao.

Zhang Ji has never seen Zhang Liao, but this person is known as a medical saint, can spend decades deep into the people, write a treatise on injuries and miscellaneous diseases, has a benevolent heart, heard that the plague broke out in Guanzhong, and General Zhengdong personally invited him, he did not hesitate to go north at Zhang Liaozhi's invitation.

It was Huang Zhong who escorted Zhang Ji to the north, and Zhao Wu originally wanted to escort him, but Liu Biao was reluctant, Zhao Wu recommended Huang Zhong, and Liu Biao agreed.

Huang Zhong is also a native of Nanyang, but his son Huang Xu is weak and has been ill for a long time.

When Zhao Wu left Zhang Liao, he was instructed to pay attention to a man named Huang Zhong, who had gone to look for him after he had settled down in Jingzhou, and told Zhang Liao about Huang Zhong's son's illness, and Zhang Liao recommended Zhang Zhongjing at that time.

Zhang Zhongjing's reputation is not obvious at this time, after Zhao Wu informed Huang Zhong, he accompanied Huang Zhong to visit in person, Zhang Zhongjing took medicine several times, Huang Xu's illness was half better, Huang Zhong was overjoyed, and Zhao Wu became close friends, Zhao Wu naturally mentioned the suggestion of the lord Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong admired Zhang Liao for a long time, this time Zhao Wu and Liu Biao asked him to see Zhang Ji off, he entrusted his family to Zhao Wu, and followed Guanzhong without hesitation.
