Chapter 363: Gains and Losses
Looking at Ao Lie holding the reins of Claw Huang Feidian and leaving with satisfaction, Cao Cao felt that his heart was like being slashed by a knife, and his reluctance to Claw Huang Feidian was still secondary, the key was the arrogant Cao Cao, who had to admit that he was defeated by Ao Lie again.
Since the beginning of the Sour Jujube Alliance's crusade against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao has found that he has not been able to take advantage of the slightest advantage in various confrontations with Ao Lie. This time, Cao Cao raised 150,000 troops, planning this battle for Hanzhong, originally wanted Ao Lie and Liu Bei to fight to the death, who expected that the most difficult was far beyond Cao Cao's expectations, his own side lost troops and generals, held in Hanzhong for three days, lost 20,000 soldiers and horses, and then was successively Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Ao Lie rushed to the camp, not to mention the soldiers who were killed, there was no way to recruit soldiers, but those generals who died in battle really made Cao Cao feel sorry, especially Le Jin and Li Dian, these two people are Cao Cao's very important generals, Unexpectedly, he died tragically in the hands of Ao Lie, and the rest of the more than 60 generals were killed by Ao Lie's three people one after another, which was painful, which directly caused Cao Cao to lose a whole batch of backbones, and wanted to replenish the lost part of the strength, without three years and five years, it was impossible to do.
Now, Cao Cao deeply understands the meaning of the phrase that a thousand troops are easy to get a general, and from his own point of view, the more than 60 generals who died in this battle need Cao Cao to spend a lot of effort to make up for it; From the opponent's point of view, Cao Cao is very envious of the five tiger generals and the eight good generals under Ao Lie, if he can have a few such fierce generals in his hands, will he still be captured by Ao Lie's three successive generals? At least we can avoid the embarrassment like today.
Cao Cao's thoughts subconsciously extended, thinking back to this short but fierce battle between Hanzhong, he found that this was a war without a winner, everything he had conceived in advance was ruthlessly overturned by the cruel reality, and the losses on his side were needless to say. But at least he got the money and grain that Zhang Lu hoarded in Hanzhong City, and he could be regarded as making up for it; Liu Bei's side, with the lives of more than 50,000 soldiers, in exchange for an empty city, but he at least stabilized the gateway to the north of Yizhou, but at the same time, it also made Luoyang's son of heaven Liu Xie restless, and invisibly set up a great enemy for himself Ao Lie, whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future is unknown; Looking at Ao Lie's side again, there was almost no loss, just some money and food. With the strong foundation of the six major states of Yan State, these money and grain can be made up in just two or three months, but he failed to capture Hanzhong, and the myth of invincibility and invincibility has ended, and his reputation has suffered a certain loss.
Sighing softly, Cao Cao came back to his senses. Seeing that Guo Jia and other civil officials had also rushed over, they were looking at the generals who were bowing their heads with strange eyes.
Cao Cao clapped his palms lightly and said loudly: "Raise your head!" Look at you guys, you look like you've beaten the rooster. Don't forget, you're all great generals! It is the backbone of our army's 830,000 troops! ”
Under Cao Cao's shouting, all the generals raised their heads one after another, even Xiahoudun, who was in pain. It was no exception, enduring the pain, he raised his head. With one right eye wide, he looked at Cao Cao.
"Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and you are all generals who are familiar with military books, don't you even understand this truth? Today's failure is to lay the foundation for a better future in the future, and I hope that you will spur yourself on with today's events, so that you can do your best in the future, instead of taking this as a shame and nailing it to your heart! What's more, Ao Lie has the courage of an overlord, and it is not a shame to lose to him. Cao Cao explained the generals under his command earnestly. The pressure brought by Ao Lie was too heavy, and Cao Cao didn't want the generals under his command to have their confidence in leading troops to fight in the future to be defeated, so he helped them analyze the relationship between today's gains and losses.
After Cao Cao's explanation, the generals were finally freed from their shame, and the blush on their faces gradually faded, but a trace of perseverance appeared. As Cao Cao said, today's failure should not be a shame nailed to the heart, but should turn humiliation into strength and spur yourself to work harder in the future, which is what should be learned from failure.
Seeing that the morale of the soldiers had improved, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and took the reins, and led the horse that Ao Lie took to exchange for Claw Huang Feidian in front of him, no matter how you look at it, I feel that this horse is not even as good as one ten-thousandth of Claw Huang Feining, and there is a pity in my heart, and he cursed in a low voice: "Ao Mohan, you vampire, your martial arts are so outstanding, but your brain is still so cunning, what kind of material are you made of?" ”
Ao Lie, who was running towards the Yan army camp, suddenly sneezed twice in a row, causing the elite of the Blood Killing Army around him to turn his head and look at Ao Lie. Ao Lie himself didn't care, after learning that Zhang Fei was not worried about his life, Ao Lie's mood was like a flying kite, and he soared in an instant, as open as he wanted, these two sneezes not only did not affect his good mood, but made him even happier.
Turning his head and looking in the direction of Cao Cao, Ao Lie smiled and whispered to himself: "Cao Apu, you must be cursing this king, right?" No way, who made your brain spin slowly? You clawed yellow lightning, this king will thank you for your generosity on behalf of Yide Xie Lu, Ha Lu Ha ......"
Back in the camp, Ao Lie immediately turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to his Chinese army's big tent, where Hua Tuo was doing his best to save Zhang Fei. Lifting the tent, Ao Lie walked in gently, and saw Hua Tuo using a special needle and thread to stitch up Zhang Fei's wound, Zhang Fei seemed to be asleep, completely unaware of all Hua Tuo's movements. Ao Lie knew that this was because Hua Tuo gave Zhang Fei "Ma Boiling San", which is the most primitive anesthetic developed by Hua Tuo, which can make people temporarily lose all consciousness, and facilitate Hua Tuo to perform wound suturing and other unbearable surgeries for ordinary people.
Whenever Ao Lie sees Hua Tuo's medical skills that transcend the times, he will sigh sincerely, the saying that there is a specialization in the art industry is really true, as long as you like a knowledge, are willing to study this knowledge, and are willing to give up a lot of time to eat, drink and have fun, and spend it on the study of this science, then you will definitely achieve superhuman achievements in this science. Hua Tuo in front of him is like this, his talent is not the type of demon that is far beyond ordinary people. However, the old man spent his whole life on the study of medicine, and always studied with a modest and cautious attitude, which achieved the name of a miracle doctor that has been passed down for centuries.
Taking a handkerchief, Ao Lie walked to Hua Tuo's side gently, and reached out to help Hua Tuo wipe the sweat from his forehead, after all, the years are not forgiving, Hua Tuo is already old, and he can't complete such a delicate operation very easily.
Hua Tuo looked up at Ao Lie and showed an old smile. Then he lowered his head and continued the stitching in his hand, until he finished stitching the last stitch seriously, Hua Tuo stood up, took the towel in Ao Lie's hand, wiped his sweat, and said with a smile: "I'm old, my energy is not as good as before, I'm afraid I can't support it for a few years." King Yan still needs to find a successor for the old man as soon as possible. ”
Ao Lie comforted Hua Tuo with some reluctance: "Mr. Yuanhua, don't say that, you are old and strong." Hua Tuo shook his head and said with a smile: "The old man's own body, can he still not know the Dao?" To say longevity. That's no problem, but the old man is getting more and more powerless to treat the big guys' injuries, but it's a pity that Wu Pu's disciples haven't learned yet. I can't take over the old man's position for the time being. ”
Ao Lie was just about to comfort Hua Tuo for a few words, Hua Tuo suddenly raised his head and said, "By the way, the old man has a close friend. It's a native of Changsha, his medical skills are not under the old man, it's better for the old man to repair a book, ask King Yan to send someone to send it over, and ask him to come over to replace the old man and preside over medical affairs. ”
Ao Lie asked in surprise: "Is there still someone in this world who has the same medical skills as Mr. Yuanhua?" Hua Tuo said with a smile: "The heart of the doctor's parents, don't dare to use the word longer and shorter to compare." This person must have heard of his name in the name of King Yan, but he forgot it for a while, his name is Zhang Ji, the word Zhongjing, and he compiled the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", which is a medical ceremony. ”
Zhang Zhongjing? Ao Lie suddenly remembered, this is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, another miracle doctor after Hua Tuo, nine years younger than Hua Tuo, and he also served as the Taishou of Changsha, and he must be more skilled than Hua Tuo in terms of management. Later, he abandoned the official and did not do it, traveled all over the world, saw people everywhere, met a rich family, just collect a little money, met the shy in the pocket, he did not take a penny, free of charge to give people to see a doctor and catch medicine, his medical skills and medical ethics, won the admiration of later generations, it turned out that Hua Tuo said that he was him! If a person like Zhang Zhongjing, who has both medical ethics and medical ethics, takes over Hua Tuo's position, Ao Lie will really rest assured that Hua Tuo will take a back seat to enjoy Qingfu.
With joy on his face, Ao Lie smiled: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhongjing, a certain person has heard of him for a long time, and a certain person also thinks that he is the best candidate." Then there is Mr. Lao Yuanhua in this matter. After a pause, Ao Lie turned his gaze to the sleeping Zhang Fei, and asked Hua Tuo in a low voice: "Mr. Yuanhua, Yide is okay, right?" ”
Hua Tuo smiled and said: "General Zhang is really a blessed person, his heart grows on the right side, so he escaped this catastrophe." It's really a fateful creation, if you don't die in a catastrophe, you will have a blessing, and General Zhang will definitely achieve a career in the future. ”
After getting Hua Tuo's personal promise, Ao Lie's mood relaxed even more, and let Hua Tuo's two disciples come in to take care of Zhang Fei, and he pulled Hua Tuo into the back tent, preparing to send a letter to Zhang Zhongjing, asking him to come to Yanjing to see if he intended to take Hua Tuo's position, judging from Hua Tuo's friendship with him, presumably Zhang Zhongjing would not refuse.
As the saying goes, there must be gains and losses, after Hua Tuo gradually gets old, Zhang Zhongjing will take over Hua Tuo's title of miracle doctor, continue to hang the pot to help the world, and complete the process of alternating between the old and the new. Therefore, we should cherish the people and things around us, and don't wait until the things we care about are gradually gone, and then we know how to cherish them, just like the saying that is widely spread in the world, we should do it and cherish it.

PS: PS: Today's fourth chapter is here, and the last paragraph of the most dear paragraph is Da Kun's feelings, and it has nothing to do with the full text, so it should be Da Kun's small expression of emotion. Alas, it's not okay to be old, Da Kun is 30 years old in a blink of an eye, and he has reached the age of sentimentality, and there is no way......
