Liu Xin was taken aback when she heard this, and Ma Yun had no choice but to put aside the topic just now and urged: "Husband, you better go out quickly and see what happened." Liu Xin turned around and rushed out.

A soldier stood at the gate of the garden and said, "Lord, General Zhang sent someone from Xinye to report that Wancheng has been lost!" ”

Liu Xin's heart sank: "Let's go, go to the front hall to talk in detail, and then invite all the adults over." ”

It turned out that the imperial court ordered Zhang Jiao to be arrested, but who expected that Zhang Jiao still had eyes and ears in the capital, and he had already known the news of Ma Yuanyi's arrest. When Jizhou Han Fu sent officers and soldiers to come, Taipingzhuang had already gone to the empty building. Zhang Jiao escaped arrest and sent his disciples to various places overnight to inform the leaders of the Taiping Dao to start the incident in advance. Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong", called Zhang Bao "General Digong", Zhang Liang was "General Rengong", everyone wrapped their heads in yellow scarves, and sang the ballad of "The sky is dead, and the yellow scarf should stand".

On the night of early February, there was no moon, the snow and ice had just melted, everything had not yet recovered, and there was a slight chill in the darkness. A group of black shadows quietly appeared outside the north gate of Wancheng in the night, and there were a few strange owl calls in the night, which was particularly rash. Suddenly a torch lit at the head of the city, dangled in the air a few times, and then went out again. The cry of an owl was heard again outside the city. Then, only to hear the creaking sound, the north gate of Wancheng slowly opened. The group of black shadows outside the city rushed in like cheetahs. In the cave of the city gate, through the afterglow of the torches, you can see that the helmets of the soldiers defending the city are wrapped in a yellow scarf. The black shadows that rushed into the city were led by the soldiers defending the city and went straight to Dongdajie, and outside the city, more and more black shadows were swarming in.

Nanyang Taishou Mansion is located on the East Street of Wancheng, and in the Taishou Mansion, the official document sent by Liu Xin has fallen a layer of dust on Chu Gong's desk. Liu Xinfa wanted to transfer 5,000 troops from Nanyang, but Chu Gongli ignored it, and he didn't even bother to look at it. Today is Chu Gong's good son, and he has newly accepted the daughter of the Li family in the south of the city as a concubine. This little concubine was born with a bewitching posture, graceful and lovely, Lord Chu Gong's old cow eats tender grass, and he is very happy, he naturally has to reward his officials with a few cups of wine, and even the sergeants who guard the door of the palace also get a few jars of good wine.

The group of black shadows came to the gate of the Taishou Mansion, the gate of the Taishou Mansion was closed, and a pair of red lanterns were hung on the door of the mansion, and the sergeant who guarded the door did not know where to go to drink and be happy, leaving only a pair of stone lions to play majestic there. A big man led by a big man, "Woo Woo" took a few steps up the steps, raised the iron rod in his hand, and "banged" at the gate of the Taishou Mansion. I only heard a "boom", and half of the door collapsed. Everyone shouted, and the big man swarmed in. A sergeant covered in alcohol came out to check on the sound and ran into the big man head-on, who raised the iron rod and smashed his head to pieces. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other sergeant turned around and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by the big man and asked sharply: "Where is Chu Gong?" The sergeant shuddered and pointed his hand to the backyard. The Han sergeant pushed casually and strode towards the backyard, but the sergeant didn't have time to get up, and was already slashed to the ground by the black shadow that followed behind. The Taishou Mansion was suddenly in a mess, and some of the sergeants and servants who came out to inspect when they heard the sound fell to the ground before they even had time to put on their clothes, and some fled when they saw that the situation was not good.

Chu Gong was sleeping soundly in the room, he drank a lot of wine tonight, and he did more exercise in bed, and he was sleeping deeply, and the noise outside did not wake him up. The concubine next to her had already woken up, and pushed Chu Gong hard: "Master, wake up quickly, it seems that something has happened outside." Chu Gong was dazed and still couldn't open his eyes, only heard a "bang", which startled him a lot, and was about to struggle to get up, a big hand crossed his throat and pulled him out of the bed.

Chu Gong didn't know if he was frozen, or afraid, and his body kept shaking. The big man asked, "Are you Chu Gong?" Chu Gong was tightly strangled by his throat, unable to speak, so he couldn't help but nod. The big man laughed, threw Chu Gong on the ground, snatched the waist knife from the hand of a person behind, and hit Chu Gong's neck, "poof", blood spurted out and spilled all over the ground. "Bang", the big man flew up, and Chu Gong's skull rolled out of the door. Dahan turned his head to look at the trembling quilt on the bed, and stretched his hand that was still stained with Chu Gong's blood into it, the tentacles were soft and slippery, and he couldn't help but knead it, and laughed wildly: "What a tender girl, and let me Zhang Mancheng be happy!" ”

In Jingzhou City, Liu Xin was restless, and bad news came one after another. The Yellow Turban Army was huge, attacking the city, burning the government, and sweeping away the gentry of the noble clan, like a broken bamboo. Zhang Jiao broke through several counties in a row, captured Liu Xu, the king of Anping, and Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, Bocai conquered Yingchuan, and Guo Xun, the assassin of Youzhou, and Liu Wei, the Taishou of Zhuojun, were also killed.

The most troublesome thing for Liu Xin was that Zhang Mancheng captured Wancheng and killed Nanyang Taishou Chu Gong. Although Liu Xin did not actually control Nanyang, Chu Gong refused to obey Liu Xin's dispatch, and his death was certainly self-inflicted. But Liu Xin, as the pastor of Jingzhou, strictly speaking, Liu Xin also bears the responsibility that cannot be shirked for the loss of Nanyang. Moreover, as soon as Nanyang is lost, the gateway to the north of Jingzhou will be opened, and the Yellow Turban Army may move south at any time.

Liu Xin secretly blamed himself, was it because of his arrival that he changed history and let the Yellow Turban Uprising break out in Nanyang. In fact, there is not much deviation in history, the three centers of the Yellow Turban Uprising still broke out at the same time, and Nanyang is also one of them, but Liu Xin is not deeply impressed by this period of history, and does not remember that Wancheng was also occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. Now that the matter has happened, Liu Xin hurriedly allocated 3,000 newly recruited soldiers to Zhang He, and sent Han Opera to assist him in strengthening Xinye's defense. Zhang He had already repelled two small Yellow Turban troops, and Liu Xin was also in constant battle in Xiangyang, and sent several teams to explore the situation in various parts of Nanyang.

As Liu Xin originally imagined, the people who joined the Yellow Turban Army were poor peasants. However, it was these peasants who used to be honest and honest, and after participating in the riots, they seemed to have changed as a person, burning and looting everywhere, destroying ** women, and being more ferocious than robbers. At first, their targets were limited to the gentry and some well-to-do families, but gradually they shifted to the common people.

Liu Xin did not wait for the Yellow Turban Army in Xiangyang, but waited for a large number of people who fled from Nanyang, and in just a few days, 30,000 or 40,000 people had gathered in the north of Xiangyang, and many more people were fleeing in a steady stream.

Returning from the north of Xiangyang City, Liu Xin was worried about Zhong Zhong, these fleeing people dragged their families with their families, one by one, without clothes and food, so they slept in groups on the edge of the Han River. At this time, it is still early spring, especially at night, the weather is even colder, and many people are already showing signs of illness, and if measures are not taken in time, it will be even more troublesome to cause an epidemic of epidemics.

Just returned to the state governor's mansion, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and Kuai Liang accompanied a kind-looking thirty-year-old scribe to greet him. When the scribe saw Liu Xin, Shi Li said: "Changsha is too shou Zhang Ji to see the state pastor." ”

Liu Xin didn't have a good impression of the county guards now, if it weren't for their reluctance to transfer troops to come, he would have had enough strength to recover Nanyang, so he said lightly: "Oh, it turned out to be Zhang Taishou, no need to be polite." ”

Kuai Liang saw Liu Xin's cold expression, and hurriedly introduced: "Lord, this Zhang Taishou, the word Zhongjing, is a native of Nanyang County, Jingzhou, he has been fond of medicine since he was a child, and worshipped the famous doctor Zhang Bozu as his teacher. When he was in Changsha, he was even more honest and honest, loved the people, and won the hearts of the people. ”

Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, it turned out that the person in front of him was the legendary medical saint Zhang Zhongjing! Needless to say, this must be a very good person, and hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhongjing, please come in quickly, please come in quickly." ”

It turned out that Changsha Taishou Zhang Ji's term of office expired this year, and he was supposed to return to Luoyang to report on his work, but he happened to receive the transfer order of the new Jingzhou Mu, so he took 5,000 Changsha elite soldiers to Xiangyang. Who knew that when they passed through Wuling County, they were blocked by Cao Yu, the Taishou of Wuling, and they were not allowed to cross. Zhang Ji negotiated with Cao Yu for many times to no avail, so he had to take a long detour to cross the river, and he arrived in Xiangyang today.

Zhang Ji often treated the people for free during his tenure in Changsha, and also helped those poor people for five years, not only did he not save any savings, but even his own money was put into it. According to Liu Hong's regulations. Zhang Ji's term of office has expired, whether it is retention or promotion, he must pay according to the corresponding official position, he came this time on the one hand to report to Liu Xin, on the other hand, he also came to resign, because he felt that this official himself could not afford to do it, it was better to concentrate on being a doctor and concentrating on treating diseases and saving people.

After listening to Zhang Ji, Liu Xin couldn't help but be in awe of the medical saint in front of him, and said, "Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and being an official is not to make a fortune, so I won't come", it is really rare to be an official to do Zhang Ji's way.

Liu Xin comforted him and said, "Mr. Zhongjing, it's different now. Liu became the pastor of Jingzhou, and the officials below did not have to pay money to the court as before. With Liu in Jingzhou for a day, Mr. can continue to be your Changsha Taishou with peace of mind. ”

Zhang Ji said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, I studied medicine when I was a child, and it has been more than 20 years. Now that I have made up my mind, I will concentrate on practicing medicine in the future, hang the pot to help the world, and ask the adults to make it convenient for Zhang to go. ”

Liu Xin pondered for a long time and said: "Whether it is an official or a doctor, it can help the world and the people. If Mr. is not an official, he will have no money, although he wants to help the world and save the people, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it. Liu wanted to set up a medical school in Xiangyang, and asked Mr. to be the dean, recruit disciples, and teach skills. I wonder what Mr. thinks? ”

Zhang Ji bowed his head and was silent, looking hesitant.

Liu Xin continued to persuade: "Even if Mr. Bian Que is reborn, with the strength of Mr. alone, how many patients can he cure in his life?" If the gentleman receives ten high-ranking disciples, it is like the strength of ten people, how many patients can be cured? Please also ask Mr. to think twice and help Liu. ”

Zhang Ji listened to Liu Xin's words and suddenly came to his senses: "The lord's words made Zhang Mou's mouth suddenly open, and Zhang was willing to obey the lord's dispatch." ”

Liu Xin was overjoyed and said, "With Mr. Zhongjing's help, I won't be worried about the people who fled outside the city." There are already the first signs of an epidemic there, and Mr. Zhongjing is asked to bother more. ”

Zhang Ji happily accepted the order and said: "Please rest assured, this is a matter within Zhang's share, and he must do his best." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll be relieved to hand it over to Mr." Liu Xin said happily, and turned to Tian Fengdao again, "Yuan Hao, go and inform everyone to come over, I want to send troops to recover Nanyang!" ”
