Early the next morning, Cheng Yue, who could finally take a breath, ordered Xiao Zhen to assemble the parts of the carriage sent from Suzhou, and to use them as New Year's greetings to Kublai Khan and several empresses and concubines. He also called Guan Gao and other four concubines to listen to their reports in the study.

The work that Guan Gao took over was complicated, and she was helped by Wang, Yu, and Sun. Especially Sun, as Guan Gao said, is indeed very capable, methodical, flexible and changeable, and the things assigned to her can be handled properly, which makes Cheng Yue very satisfied.

Cheng Yue listened to Guan Gao's report, hugged Sun to his lap, kissed her red lips a few times, and praised: "Dao Gao has the wisdom to know people, you have outstanding talent, do a good job!" I want to make you more responsible in the future, are you willing? ”

When Sun heard Cheng Yue's words, he almost burst into tears, and choked up: "Yes, everything is subject to the arrangement of the officials." After speaking, he happily leaned on Cheng Yue's shoulder, smiling skillfully. After enduring for a long time, her talent was finally affirmed and valued by Cheng Yue.

There was a faint hint of loss on the faces of Wang and Yu, and Cheng Yue smiled: "Don't be disappointed, do your best in everything, people have different talents, you can't force you to perform well in everything." You are already very good, I don't blame you for being an affirmation, ordinary women will never have the ability of you. ”

When Wang and Yu heard this, the stone in their hearts fell to the ground, and they were about to be coquettish with Cheng Yue, when Mrs. Song pushed the door in and said: "Official, there is an official of the Yuan Dynasty outside who asks to see him, and he has come here once before, called Guo Shoujing." He also brought with him a sick man, an old man in his fifties or sixties, who seemed to be quite ill. The ward where the two adults were recuperating has not yet been removed. The concubines were placed there first. Do you want to go over and have a look? ”

Cheng Yue let out an "oh". said: "Guo Shoujing said that the old man has anything to do with him?" ”

Mrs. Song said: "He said it was a distant relative. The concubine saw that the old man should have been a military general before, although he was old and not lightly ill, he still walked vigorously, which made people envious. ”

Cheng Yue laughed and said, "Okay, it's good, it's right to calculate the time." You go and ask Gillian and Wan'er to change their clothes and come to the ward, and I will go over to treat this patient. ”

Mrs. Song didn't seem to understand Cheng Yue's words, so she didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly called Gillian and Wan'er.

Cheng Yue walked out of the study and went straight to the ward. This patient is very important to him, if he doesn't come again, Cheng Yue will go to him!

As soon as Cheng Yue walked into the small courtyard, Guo Shoujing hurriedly greeted him, and said with a deep salute: "Lord Wang, the lower official Guo Shoujing." Ma wants to go to the New Year but takes the liberty to visit, because he is forced to do so. Please, Lord Haihan. ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "Guo Shoujing, are you afraid that I will forget you?" Haha, no, I've been waiting for you to come somewhere. Where is General Guo Kan Guo? Take me to see his old man's house. ”

Guo Shoujing raised his head, looked at Cheng Yue with a shocked face, and blurted out: "How does the prince know that it is the clan uncle of the lower official inside?" Xia Guan didn't tell the two ladies. ”

Cheng Yue said angrily: "You person, what are you doing asking so much nonsense?" Is that time still there? ”

Guo Shoujing hurriedly respectfully stepped aside and raised his hand to ask Cheng Yue to go inside. An old man who has fought all his life, has made countless glorious achievements, and can be called the most shining star in Chinese history, is waiting for Cheng Yue to help him on the hospital bed inside.

Guo Kan, whose name is Zhonghe, is originally from Zheng County, Huazhou (now Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province), his ancestor is Guo Ziyi, his grandfather Guo Baoyu, and his father Guo Dehai are all generals under Genghis Khan. In 1252 A.D., Guo Kan followed Hülegü on an expedition to the west, and alone broke more than 120 cities of the Islamic army and more than 180 cities of the crusaders in West Asia, and defeated many countries. His footprints crossed Kashmir, and even fought against the Franks, fearing the people of the land they conquered, and even his opponents exclaimed, "General Dongtian, God and Man".

Guo Kan is brave and strategic, and is the best at using artillery, accumulating military exploits and reaching the position of 10,000 households. The march was disciplined, often camped in the wilderness, and did not enter the people's houses during storms.

The Han generals of the Yuan Dynasty, he was the only one who could lead an army composed of all Mongols, invincible and invincible, and worthy of being a legend.

Guo Kan will be 60 years old soon, and according to historical records, Guo Kan will die of illness this year. When Cheng Yue first entered the capital, Guo Kan was not valued by Kublai Khan because he was a descendant of Hülegu, and he was not assigned any official position. has no official or position, so naturally he will not go to see Cheng Yue to make that lively.

A few days before Cheng Yue returned to Dadu, Guo Kan's body became more and more uncomfortable, and sores developed on his back. The family hurriedly found several famous doctors in Dadu, but they were all helpless. When Cheng Yue returned to Dadu, his family immediately entrusted Guo Shoujing and asked him to ask Cheng Yue to come to his rescue.

As soon as Cheng Yue returned to Dadu, he was immediately promoted to the king of Zhennan, and he wanted to marry a princess, and many affairs in the two places were so busy that Guo Shoujing didn't dare to disturb, and only today did he dare to take Guo Kan to the Horse Mansion.

After listening to Guo Shoujing's explanation, Cheng Yue was furious, pointed at Guo Shoujing and scolded: "Human life is at stake, what's the big deal about me marrying a princess?" General Guo has fought in his life and made many world-class exploits, how dare you let General Guo suffer two more days? You bastard, don't you owe a beating?! ”

Guo Shoujing was ashamed and moved by Cheng Yue's scolding, and couldn't help but burst into tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Cheng Yue a few times while crying, and said, "Thank you for mentioning it, the next official is wrong." ”

Cheng Yue ignored him and hurried in. Guo Shoujing hurriedly got up and followed Cheng Yue into the ward.

Cheng Yue walked into the ward, and a mighty old man stood in front of him holding on to the edge of the bed, his eyes full of tears of gratitude. Seeing Cheng Yue walking into the ward, he immediately pushed the gold mountain and bowed to the ground, and said generously: "The old man has been fighting all his life, and the praise he has received is numerous, and the old man has not taken it to heart for a long time. However, just now, the king of Zhennan said that although he died, he had no regrets! ”

Cheng Yue hurriedly helped Guo Kan up, and blamed himself: "The old general, please get up quickly, how dare I bow to the old general?" Fang Cai was in a hurry, and he didn't choose what to say, he shouldn't blame Guo Shoujing like this, and the old general should not be surprised. ”

Guo Kan held Cheng Yue's shoulder and sighed: "People say that the king of Zhennan is the pride of the sky, and when I see it today, the old man is happy and convinced." ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "I've only been fighting for a few years, how can I compare with the old general?" Don't break me. Come, old general, I will talk about it in detail when I have time later, first ask the old general to lie on the bed, and let me see what the condition is. ”

Guo Kan was even more respectful to Cheng Yue, and according to Cheng Yue's instructions, he untied his clothes and lay on the hospital bed.

Cheng Yue took a closer look, and Guo Kan's back was close to his shoulder, and there was a red and swollen carbuncle, which had ulcerated and pus, emitting a foul smell. The onset of the disease is very fast, but it is not advanced, and it can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine.

Although the prescription for treating carbuncle is a traditional Chinese medicine prescription, this prescription began in the Ming Dynasty, so carbuncle was still a terminal disease in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the number of people who died of carbuncle after the Ming Dynasty was greatly reduced.

Guo Shoujing saw Cheng Yue's serious face, and asked worriedly: "Lord Wang, is this sore difficult to treat?" Most of the doctors in the capital said that they had no choice, and if there was still a glimmer of hope, it was only in the prince. ”

Guo Kan turned around and said: "Ruosi (Guo Shoujing's words), don't worry, the prince hasn't spoken yet, life and death depend on fate, am I still afraid of death at such an old age?" Don't be embarrassed. ”

Cheng Yue smiled slightly and said, "I remember that the old general is going to be sixty years old this year, right?" ”

Guo Kan was stunned: "Yes, the old decay has wasted sixty years. ”

Cheng Yue patted Guo Kan's broad back and said with a smile: "With a body like an old general, I guarantee that I can live to be over eighty years old!" ”

Guo Kan and Guo Shoujing were overjoyed, Guo Shoujing was so excited that he grabbed Cheng Yue's sleeve and said, "Lord Wang, can this disease be treated?" ”

Cheng Yue said confidently: "It's easy!" ”

Guo Shoujing didn't say a word, knelt on the ground again with a "poof", kowtowed to Cheng Yue a few times, and said: "The prince's kindness can only be repaid by the lower officials, so they can only kowtow a few more to the prince. ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "Do you want to rely on the consultation fee?" That's not going to work! ”

The three of them laughed at the same time, and the haze in Guo Kan and Guo Shoujing's hearts was swept away. It's a loss for the king of Zhennan to marry in Dadu, otherwise how could Guo Kan still have his life?

At this time, Gillian and Wan'er changed into nurse uniforms and came to the ward.

Cheng Yue saw them coming, sat down at the consultation table, wrote down two prescriptions, handed them to the two, and said, "You go and dispense the medicine, come back here after the dispensing, I will have a minor operation." ”

The two concubines took the prescription and went to dispense it separately.

Cheng Yue turned around to talk to Guo Kan and Guo Shoujing, Guo Shoujing relaxed his mind and asked Cheng Yue frequently, mainly asking Cheng Yue how to defeat Kublai Khan and the three khanates successively, Cheng Yue answered them one by one, and only those that involved secrets would be vague.

Not only Guo Shoujing, Guo Kan also opened his eyes after listening to Cheng Yue's explanation, and interjected: "Lord Wang, I heard people say that Lord Wang's gun is extremely powerful, killing people is like pinching ants to death, but why doesn't Lord Wang make artillery?" ”

Cheng Yue sighed: "Whether it is a gun or a cannon, it is very difficult to build, and it requires craftsmen to accumulate knowledge and experience little by little. ”

Guo Kan said disappreciatively: "What's so difficult about that? There are many craftsmen who can make cannons. Hearing that the prince will soon use troops against Japan and the southern countries, the prince might as well ask the Great Khan for a few craftsmen to make a cannon to bombard, which is more effective than thousands of troops and horses. ”

Cheng Yue was overjoyed, Guo Kan's concept was not wrong at all, artillery is indeed a sharp weapon of war, and the emergence of artillery will completely change the form of war. But the cannon he wanted to build was different from the cannon in Guo Kan's mouth, and Guo Kan didn't understand this. (To be continued......)
