Cao Cao's headache was unbearable, and Cao Shuo was also worried when he saw it.

For so many years, although there was a period of time when Cao Cao supported Cao Pi to compete with him.

However, after Cao Pi's face was exposed, he only thought about Cao Shuo wholeheartedly.

As a father, Cao Cao has already achieved the extreme.

Born as a son, Cao Shuo could only watch his headache be incurable.

Hua Tuo said that Cao Cao's headache was due to a polyp in his brain.

The so-called polyp is what later generations often referred to as tumors.

Cao Shuo knew that this tumor would never be malignant, and as long as it was removed, Cao Cao's headache would be cured.

However, in this era, except for Hua Tuo, who believes that the human body can be opened and completely eradicated, even Zhang Zhongjing does not believe that the treatment method can really work.

The earliest surgical operation could not be carried out only because of Cao Cao's disbelief.

Cao Shuo was also helpless.

knew how to save Cao Cao, but he couldn't say it.

Once he says it, with Cao Cao's character, he will definitely be cranky.

In case it was regarded as an attempt to murder and inherit the Cao family earlier, Cao Shuo would not be able to bear such a big sin!

The attendant fed Cao Cao medicine.

After a while, Cao Cao felt better.

Cao Shuo said: "My father has a terrible headache, and he has to always have medicine around him. Mr. Hua Tuo had returned to Shouchun, and I asked him to send him a letter and ask him to ponder how to cure his father's headache. ”

"Or are you filial." Cao Cao said: "Last time, Mr. Hua Tuo only gave an injection and prescribed a prescription. Although he taught him how to administer needles, I didn't let the doctor do that recently, but just took medicine. Maybe that's why I have a bad headache. ”

"I think both of these approaches are just a palliative rather than a cure." Cao Shuo said: "But there is always a cure for any disease, I think Mr. Hua Tuo has not figured it out yet." ”

"Since you think so, write a letter to Mr. Hua Tuo." Cao Cao nodded.

Cao Shuo bowed down and said: "Father has a terrible headache, I can't help anything here, I still worry about it, so I will leave and return to Tongguan first." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand: "You go back first." ”

Bowing again, Cao Shuo retreated.

Leaving the Chang'an Palace, Cao Shuo took Deng Zhan, Zhu Ao and others to gallop in the direction of Tongguan.

When he came, he walked for most of the day, and he left without staying overnight in Chang'an, Cao Shuo's itinerary was too hurried.

Deng Zhan asked puzzledly: "The son has just arrived, why did he leave?" ”

"My father has a terrible headache, and I can't help much here." Cao Shuo said: "It's better to leave early, there are still many things to do in Tongguan." ”

"Cao Gong has a headache again?" Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao were both stunned.

"Although Mr. Hua Tuo taught the method of healing, he did not cure the symptoms." Cao Shuo said: "I know that he knows how to heal, but my father will never accept that method, so I can't mention it." ”

"Gongzi knows the method of healing but doesn't tell Cao Gong, in case Cao Gong knows about it in the future......" Deng Zhan reminded with some worry.

"Open the skull and take out the lesions, what do you think I can say to my father?" Cao Shuo interrupted him.

Deng Zhan was stunned: "If the head is opened, isn't the person dead......

"You think so, how can my father not think so." Cao Shuo said: "The only way is to ask my husband what he can do, either let my father receive treatment, or find another way to heal, and I can't watch my father die in pain." ”

"Childe is filial, if Cao Gong can understand the painstaking work, he will definitely not think about it." Deng Zhan replied.

"If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to understand it." Cao Shuo said: "There is no need to mention this matter, wait until I ask Mr. Hua Tuo before I think about it." ”

Deng Zhan didn't say much more, and accompanied Cao Shuo to Tongguan with Zhu Ao and others.

Leaving Chang'an, it was already close to sunset, and it was almost dawn when I returned to Tongguan.

Hearing that Cao Shuo was back, Tian Feng and others, who were still asleep, got up and greeted him.

"Why did Childe come back so soon?" Catching up with Cao Shuo, Pang Tong asked.

"My father has a terrible headache, and I can't help much there." Cao Shuo said: "What's more, he also asked me to come back soon." ”

"Cao Gong didn't say anything?" Pang Tong asked with some disbelieving.

Cao Shuo certainly knew what he meant.

Sent Ma Tie to deliver a letter to Ma Chao, so that Han Sui fled and Liang Xing was killed, and it would be strange if Cao Cao didn't ask for the crime.

But Cao Cao didn't say anything this time, and behaved very indifferently, just asked Cao Shuo to come back earlier and wait for Ma Chao to lead the army to surrender.

"I didn't say anything, just reminded me to pay attention to Ma Chao." Cao Shuo asked, "Have you sent scouts to find out when Ma Chao came?" ”

"It's been dispatched, and the news hasn't been sent back yet." Pang Tong said: "At most, in two days, there should be news back." ”

"It's still early, let's go back to sleep first." Everyone gathered around him, and Cao Shuo said: "We have to do a lot of things in the past two days, in addition to transferring grain and grass from Chang'an, we also have to train the soldiers and wait for Ma Chao to lead the army to vote." The closer Xiliang is to be pacified, the more variables there are. ”

"Childe also rested earlier." The crowd answered, and they all returned to the barracks.

Cao Shuo returned to the barracks and asked Deng Zhan to put an oil lamp in his hand.

By the light of the oil lamp, he took out a piece of paper and wrote hard.

The papermaking workshops in the Huainan area can already make decent paper.

The paper is delicate and snow-white, and the ink will no longer leak out when writing.

The small seal characters are very difficult to write, and by the time Cao Shuo finished writing the letter, the window had already penetrated the color of the fish's belly.

"General Deng." He shouted.

Deng Zhan, who was still guarding the door, pushed the door in: "What do you have to say?" ”

"Send someone to send this letter back to Shouchun." Cao Shuo instructed: "Be sure to ask Mr. Hua Tuo to open it himself." ”

Taking the letter with both hands, Deng Zhan withdrew.

It didn't take long for Tongguan to rush out of a fast horse.

The fast horse spread his hooves and ran towards the pass, he was about to return to Shouchun to send a letter to Hua Tuo to Cao Shuo.

Back at Tongguan, Cao Shuo waited for another two days, and finally had a scout who went to Xiliang to come back.

Cao Shuo's barracks, the staff and generals sat on both sides, and Ma Teng and his son and Ma Dai were also invited.

The scouts returning from Xiliang were in the barracks.

"Did Ma Mengqi set off?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I had already set off, but Han Sui suddenly came out with a team of men and horses." The scout replied, "General Ma fought hard, but he was still held back and unable to move forward. ”

"Han Sui gathered the soldiers and horses again?" Cao Shuo frowned slightly: "How many people are there?" ”

"I don't know how many are black." The scout replied, "There should be a lot more than General Ma." ”

"Childe, Ma Chao is restrained, I'm afraid he won't be able to come for a while." Pang Tong asked, "What should I do?" ”
