Life is fragile, and any young person will be terrified to learn that he has little to live, no matter how wise he is.

After half a quarter of an hour, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jiacai woke up from their shock, their first thought was that this was a small trick taken by Gao Shun to subdue the two of them, they were upright and young, how could they have such a short lifespan? Second, they don't believe that there are people in the world who can see through the lifespans of others.

Thinking of this, Xi Zhicai smiled instead, and said sarcastically: "Haha, the prince is really well-intentioned, and he does everything!" ”

Guo Jia also nodded in support of Xi Zhicai's view.

Gao Shun hadn't spoken yet, Hua Tuo was unhappy in his heart, even the champion Hou Gaoshun had always been respectful to him, how could he bear the sarcasm of the two young people who were sick? Snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, doubt the old man's diagnosis?" You have taken a large amount of Wushi San, and you have drunk excessively, which has injured your internal organs, and sometimes you have poor breathing, unbearable coughing and wheezing, chest tightness and dizziness, what the old man said is right? ”

Xi Zhicai and the two couldn't help nodding yes.

When Hua Tuo heard the answer, he smiled but didn't say anything, packed up his things, turned around and left, and hung Zhicai and the others on the spot.

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia were anxious, and hurriedly took Hua Tuo's hand and asked, "Doctor Hua, Doctor Hua, can you heal?" ”

Hua Tuo stopped, shook off Xi Zhicai's hand, turned around, looked at Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia respectively, and asked, "Can it be cured?" ”

"Yes, can Doctor Hua heal?" Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia looked at Hua Tuo eagerly.

Hua Tuo is also very humorous, since the last time he healed Huang Xu, assisted Gao Shun to subdue Huang Zhong, and prying away a lot of good things from Gao Shun, this time he had already seen what Gao Shun meant, so he repeated the old trick, and said humorously: "Hehe, whether it can be cured, the old man said it doesn't count." ”

"You're a miracle doctor, who has the final say if you say it?" Xi Zhi was in a hurry.

"Haha, don't doubt the old man's medical skills, you can go out and inquire, has the old man ever been incurable? However, the old man never treats outsiders, otherwise you can't afford the medical expenses alone, so you have the final say on whether you can heal or not. ”

At this point, Xi Zhi understood that this was really Gao Shun's means to subdue them, but in the face of life, he couldn't joke, which was extremely effective for him and Guo Jia.

They are also aware of the changes in their bodies, but they don't want to admit it, now that they have been told by the divine doctor, there is no need for them to deceive themselves, what the Chinese divine doctor said is true.

Hua Tuo enjoyed a good reputation in the Central Plains, but the two did not expect to meet the divine doctor here, and he was loyal to Gao Shun.

After Hua Tuo left, the two returned to the small courtyard where they lived in despair, and it took a long time to calm down.

Both of them are wise men and understand Gao Shun's intentions, and they can only be healed if they are effectively loyal to Gao Shun, otherwise, they will not even be able to get out of Taoyuan Fort; If they are loyal and don't make any efforts, even if they are treated, Gao Shun has a way to deal with them.

How can the interests of the nobles be important to their own lives? Eventually, the two decided to pledge allegiance to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun was overjoyed, and immediately appointed Guo Jia as the military advisor, and Xi Zhicai as the military advisor, and asked Hua Tuo to cure the illness of the two at all costs.

The position of military division in the Eastern Han Dynasty has long existed, and at that time, most of them were official names of staff members.

Sacrificial wine, chief, the meaning of the director. Originated from the sacrificial custom, it is the honorific position of the banquet and the sacrificial wine.

The military priest sacrificial wine is a position set up by Gao Shun specifically for Xi Zhicai, and his status is higher than that of Tian Feng, Cheng Li and Fu Zhisan.

Other military divisions also have other positions in addition to the status of military divisions, which are convenient for governing people and commanding the army; For example, Tian Feng also held the position of the head of the General Mansion of Zhengbei in addition to the position of military advisor; Cheng Li also has the duties of captain Wuhuan and Youzhou pastor Cao Zhi in addition to the military division; In addition to the military division, he also has the post of the governor of the state and the commander of the Xiongnu Zhonglang; The positions of the three are higher than those of the average Zhonglang general, and they enjoy a salary of 2,000 stones.

The function of the military priest is mostly a record, which is a civilian position, which is about equivalent to the secretary general, and the military advisor who is the chief of staff are two different positions; Both were entitled to 2,000 stones.

The two ignored other things, and after worshiping Gao Shun as the master, they were busy cooperating with Hua Tuo and began treatment.

After five days, in addition to the results, there was no longer any problem with poor breathing, and the two were very happy; Hua Tuo warned them that this was a long process of treatment, and they could not be in a hurry, and that they could work and treat at the same time, and they would definitely be cured after three years.

Hua Tuo also explained many precautions such as not drinking alcohol, not being close to women, etc., for the sake of their lives, the two resisted the temptation of fine wine every day; In order to distract from the experience, the two frantically threw themselves into work.

First of all, it is necessary to be familiar with the real situation of the Gaoshun forces, although they were very concerned about it before, but there is still a big gap between the news from the outside world and the real situation; The two were very shocked by Gao Shun's hidden strength, and they were not afraid even if they were enemies of the world; And was surprised by Gao Shun's abundant financial resources, rich and rivaled the country.

With a good foundation, the two of them planned a lot easier.

In order to repay Gao Shun for saving his life, the two were busy sleeping and forgetting to eat; Flipping through the large amount of information sent from various places, the two couldn't help but be surprised by Gao Shun's intelligence system.

By the end of August, the two had completely grasped the true level of Gaoshun's forces, completely exceeding their estimates, with wealth richer than the imperial court, military power stronger than the imperial court, honest officials, and rich people.

The two were even more shocked by Gao Shun's trust in them and the good treatment they provided, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, fortunately, they worshiped Gao Shun as the master, otherwise, who would be the opponent in the world?

At the beginning of September, the news from the capital made the two not calm, Dong Zhuo completely grasped the power of the imperial court, and sure enough, Gao Shun predicted.

Gao Shun also put his estimate of the imperial court and the future general trend of the world, and carefully communicated with Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, Dong Zhuo will be in chaos, the Yuan family is even more undivided, the states and counties of the Han Dynasty have successively supported troops to stand on their own, becoming warlords of different sizes, the whole country will be trapped in the warlord war, in order to end the suffering of the people, we must be strong and unify the Central Plains, and end the chaos.

Gao Shun did not mention the Wuhu Chaohua incident, for fear of intimidating the two of them, and he was sure that because of his arrival, the Wuhu Chaohua incident would happen again.

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia were shocked by Gao Shun's judgment, and according to the situation at the time and Dong Zhuo's strength, the two designed several plans for Gao Shun.

First, negotiate with Dong Zhuo and exchange Beidi County, Anding County, Shangjun and Zuo Fengyi Counties for the post of Jizhou pastor.

Second, the Xiongnu people in the area east of the Yellow River in Xihe County were moved westward, and then the Yellow River was used as the boundary to facilitate defense.

Third, Zhang Yang and his officers and soldiers in the northern area of Beidi County withdrew, shortened the occupied line, reduced the pressure on logistics and supplies, reduced the difficulty of defense, and let the tens of thousands of cavalry give full play to their effectiveness.

Gao Shun was overjoyed when he saw the plan of the two of them, Dong Zhuo's foundation was in Liangzhou, and he must be worried that Guangnian Hou Zhou Fei would threaten the safety of his rear, if it was replaced like this, Dong Zhuo would definitely be able to accept it; The method of moving the Xiongnu westward is also very ingenious, and the deployment of defenses along the Yellow River can reduce a lot of trouble; Let Zhang Yang retreat, it is a clever move.

Gao Shun couldn't help but sigh secretly, a wise man is a wise man, and he really lived up to the great names in their history; Immediately appointed Bo Dubian, the lord of Xiangjun, as his representative, and went to the capital Luoyang to negotiate with Dong Zhuo about replacing the Jizhou pastor.

If he won the position of Jizhou Pastor so easily, his territory would be connected, and he would completely occupy the land of the four states, and his strength would be much stronger than when Yuan Shao was the strongest in history, and he would have occupied the opportunity to dominate the Central Plains.
