Zhang Ji sent this disciple surnamed Xu Mingke to diagnose and treat Shixun, he pressed his pulse for a long time, and asked him to find the previous diagnosis and medication records, read them against each other, and came to the conclusion: "What he has judged is yes, but the treatment is not lawful." "I re-prescribed the decoction at the moment, and I was able to boil it and pour it into Shixun, and it worked that night.
When Shixun woke up the next day, he felt refreshed, his throat was no longer hoarse, and his head was no longer painful, but he had been sick for a few days, and he had very little food, so he was weak in his limbs. So Xu Ke boiled the medicinal porridge again, Dong Meng held it personally, fed it to Shixun and drank it, and then he felt a little stronger.
Xu Ke pressed Shi Xun's pulse again, and said when he finished: "It's gone." "That's basically good, drink the medicinal porridge I prescribed for a few more days, recuperate your body, and the waiter can act as usual. When he was done, he asked for a small boat, so that he could return to Changsha County. Guo Huai and the others hurriedly stopped them, saying that if my lord recovers, will I send someone to Linxiang to pick you up? You can stay for now. Before Xu Ke could refuse, Qin Yi pulled out a knife from his waist and made a gesture on his neck: "Die or stay, only the king chooses." I was scared to pee on the spot, so I had to obey my fate.
Over there, Xun felt that his body was slightly restored, and immediately sent Dong Meng to invite Liu Rui, the Taishou of Wuling, to come over. Dong Meng dissuaded: "The lord is not healthy yet, why rush for a while? Shi Xun smiled bitterly: "If I am not in a hurry today, Zhang Xian will be more delayed, and Zhang Xiu will be in a hurry." "We don't have time to procrastinate!
In fact, in the past few days when he was seriously ill, Liu Rui had also come to visit in person, but he knelt down in front of the table and asked the waiter to rest in peace, so he didn't have a chance to talk to Liu Rui about business-of course, even if he had a chance. You have to have that body and energy to do it, and your head is still dizzy. Speaking can only turn things upside down, but it will mess things up.
When Liu Rui was invited this time, Shi Xun was supported by Dong Meng on his mattress and reluctantly sat up. Liu Rui hurriedly waved his hand: "The illness in the service is at the beginning, so you should rest and recuperate, if you have an order, lie down and say wisely." Shi Xun shook his head slightly: "How dare you be so disrespectful?" ”
He looked at this Wuling Taishou and saw that the other party was in his forties. Medium in stature, but born with delicate eyebrows, but unfortunately the beard is sparse and untidy, a bit like a rat's whisker. He didn't have much time to go around in circles with Liu Rui, so he asked straightforwardly: "Xun is here today, and his meaning is known to Deming (Liu Rui's words)." ”
Liu Rui sat next to Shixun. With his hands in his sleeves, his eyes widened: "Wise and sensitive, unknown." "It's Xunxin who said that your expression is too exaggerated, and it's not professional at all. Although you refused to get on Zhang Xian's thief ship, echoing the army like Guiyang Zhao Fan and Lingling Liu Du, you promised that Zhang Xian would watch from the wall. The two don't help each other, you don't know Zhang Xian's intentions, you don't know that I just came from Zhang Xian, is it possible?
If you lobby, you have to make a big statement as soon as you open your mouth. bluff the other person, and then hold his nose. Slowly enter the room. So Shi Xun said expressionlessly: "I came here today to save Wuling, but it's a pity that Deming is unconscious." ”
Liu Rui's expression was still so exaggerated, and he looked at Shi Xun in a daze: "What is the disaster of my Wuling, and how do you want to save it?" ”
Shi Xun pursed his lips: "Liu Jingsheng and Zhang Boyuan (Zhang Xian) have not been harmonious for a long time, and Qing also knows it." Now Bo Yuan wants to join Guiyang and Lingling, in order to cut down Jingsheng, and the soldiers go up along the river, then Jingsheng should make Jiangxia Huangzu Yuzhi, and send a general to pass through Wuling to pull his back. Qing has been in Wuling for a long time, there is kindness and righteousness between Huayi, and Jingsheng is jealous, and now he comes to the false road, first to destroy Yu, and then to destroy Yu, Qing is inevitably tied up. Therefore, Xun came to the rescue. ”
Liu Rui is a native of Wuling and was hired by the former Taishou Cao Yin as Gong Cao. When Liu Biao entered Yicheng and pacified the northern part of Jingzhou, because of the execution of many heroes, the hearts of the people were shaken for a while, and the county magistrates abandoned their posts one after another, including the Cao Taishou. Liu Biao originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to insert his henchmen and succeed him as the Taishou of Wuling, but who would have thought that Liu Rui would take the lead in uniting the big clans and elders in the county, and sent Liu Biao an invitation to take over and stand on his own.
Therefore, Liu Rui is not Liu Biao's descendant, but belongs to the local powerful faction, for this kind of local powerful faction, Liu Biao has been trying in vain to divide and disintegrate, and then eradicate them one by one. But on the one hand, Liu Rui's attitude is deferential, which is completely different from Zhang Xian and others, and on the other hand, he secretly colludes with Changsha and other three counties, so Liu Biao does not dare to do it, and there is no excuse to do it. Regarding these situations, Shi Xun had already heard Zhang Xian and Huan Jie's introductions, so he threatened Liu Rui when he opened his mouth, saying that Liu Biao had long wanted to get rid of you, and this time he just took advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Xian to raise troops to destroy you and drive you off the stage.
Liu Rui listened, and secretly sneered - left and right, but this set, it's not a little new, I heard that this is a good speaker in the waiter, in my opinion, it's just that. smiled and replied: "No, if yes, the waiter is too worried." ”
Shi Xun shook his head lightly: "If I don't worry too much, I don't realize it." Now Zhang Bo aided the army, if Wuling is willing to obey, then you can jointly resist Liu Jingsheng, if not, Liu Jingsheng will be the head of the eight counties, and the Wuling soldiers will be ordered to fight. If Qing allows, but the armor is not finished, that is, the Ximan is summoned, it will take time, if the Lingling soldiers are thin on their backs, what can they do? If Liu Jingsheng is resigned, he will wave his army from Wuling, Nanjun, Wuling, adjacent to Jiangling, Linyuan, close at hand, and can be reached at dusk. Qing thinks Liu Jingsheng doesn't want to take Qinghu? For it has no mouth also. If you have a solid mouth, Linyuan is not enough. ”
Liu Rui grabbed the loophole in Shi Xun's speech, and retorted on the spot: "I also know that Liu Mu wants to replace me, but he has no words. However, if I take Zhang Changsha, won't I also give him a handle? "You said that Liu Biao didn't want to beat me, but there was no excuse, if I didn't follow Zhang Xian and them to rebel, he would have an excuse to pass through my Wuling County to fight Zhang Xian, and take the opportunity to use a false way to destroy him. But if I rebel, wouldn't he have the same excuse to send troops to kill him?
Is Xun Xin saying stupid, you dare to punch if you put a flaw? Fell into my trap this time, right? Immediately nodded with a sad expression: "What Qing said is true." Today, Zhang Xian raised troops, if Qing responded, Liu Jingsheng would enter Wuling, Qing should not, Liu Jingsheng also entered Wuling, it was to enter and die and retreat. Then you can go in or fight, rats at both ends, want to sit on the wall and watch, can you? Then Liu Jingsheng will kill Qing Ye with a mouth, and Zhang Boyuan will never save him. It's certain death! ”
If you echo Zhang Xian, then you can still take a fight. Maybe there's a chance to kill someone. Like you now, secretly hooked up with Zhang Xian, but on the surface refused to get on the thief ship, and when Liu Biao entered Wuling, he just used this charge to kill you, and Zhang Xian will not come to save you, you are dead! Advance is also death, and retreat is death. If you don't advance or retreat, you will die faster, and you still say that you don't need me to save you?
When Liu Rui heard this, he panicked a little, and hurriedly asked: "However, what is the best strategy in the service to make Wuling dangerous and restore Anye?" "According to what you say, I'm not going to kill Liu Biao, so how can I save it?
It was Xun who said his intentions: "When you want to save Qing." There's only one way. Qing can pretend not to know, let Zhang Zhong reinforce the troops in Xiaoling, Liu Jingsheng is not allowed to enter the county, isn't it a plot? ”
Oh, Liu Rui nodded, it turns out that you have this idea - a good idea. can resist Liu Biao, but-"If Zhang Boyuan takes the opportunity to take my tomb and covets Linyuan, what can I do?" "I don't want to turn away wolves at the front door and tigers at the back door.
Shixun replied with a smile, "Yi Ye." There was Liu Jingsheng in front of Zhang Boyuan. Then there is Qing, and he will not be willing to be enemies...... "Where does Zhang Xian have this kind of strength." Fight both Liu Biao and you on your turf, fighting on two fronts? - "If Jingsheng can be defeated on the front line, it will take time, and Qing Zi can summon Ximan to the north to defend Linyuan." "The key is that as soon as they take over the battle, you will have time to breathe, and you can summon Wu Lingman to protect you.
Liu Ruixin said that this is a servant who has considered everything, and he really has to do what he said, as long as Zhang Xian does not lose, my Wuling County can protect the peace, and even if Zhang Xian loses, Wulingman should also arrive at that time, and I may not be afraid of Liu Biao...... However, he is just a scribe, he is most afraid of war in his life, and he always hopes to be able to sit on the wall and watch the conflict between Liu Biao and Zhang Xian, so although he listened to what Shixun said, there was no harm to himself, but he still hesitated, and it took a long time before he spoke:
"I watched the heavens before, and Yingfu and Taibai violated each other, and there will be a big war. However, Taibai was in the south of Yingchao, and the south of the Lord was defeated...... Instead of Zhang Changsha, why don't you dedicate the county to Liu Jingsheng? ”
It's Xun Xin who said it, you bastard really started talking to me about horoscopes!
Liu Rui is a celebrity of the horoscope, so Liu Biao once asked him to collect the old sayings of Tuwei, pick out the content related to astronomical astronomical horoscopes, and compile a book "Jingzhou Zhan", also known as "Jingzhou Astrology" - this matter was heard of before Xun came to Wuling.
Astronomy is a very esoteric science, and when combined with superstition, it is even more mythical and inexplicable. The astrology belongs to a kind of prophecy, and the modern literature and scriptures are originally mixed with a lot of superstitious content, and after the Eastern Han Dynasty, the prophecy is even more popular - because Liu Xiu himself believes in this. Although the late Han Dynasty and the modern literature declined and the ancient literature flourished, on the one hand, the modern literature is an official study after all, and its influence in Shilin is still very great, on the other hand, although the ancient writers are anti-prophesy, most of them still can't get rid of superstitious thinking, and only Wang Chong dares to publicly expose superstition and promote materialism, so the astrological theory is still very marketable.
In addition, the Han Dynasty was not like some later dynasties, which strictly forbade ordinary people to study astronomy and stargazing. Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many superstitions and strange tales, and there were many people who understood astronomy, among which Liu Rui could be said to be one of the best.
Of course, Shi Xun was confused about this, not to mention that "Jingzhou Zhan" was quickly dispersed, just a miscellaneous book, even if there was a whole book circulating, he was not interested in finding it to read in his previous life. Not to mention in this life, although he once talked about the earth as a ball in front of Xun Chen, pretending to be deep in geography, in fact, let alone astrology, he hasn't even touched the astronomical knowledge of this year and month. Not to mention anything else, just those weird terms, if you mention Taibai, he can know that it is Venus, and if you want to mention fire, pheasant, hook Chen or something, he knows that it is all haT? He can't even memorize all twenty-eight nights!
So on the way here, he has been pondering, what if ...... No, there is at least a fifty percent chance that Liu Rui will talk to himself about the astrology, and may even use the results of the astrology as an argument to obstruct Zhang Xian's garrison, what should he do when the time comes? Tell him that the earth is a ball, or tell him the difference between stars, planets, and moons? He's going to be a fart!
I thought about it all the way, but until I fell ill, I couldn't think of a good countermeasure. However, time was pressing, and he was not allowed to continue to procrastinate, so in the end, Shixun had to put his heart on the sidelines, and I would give you something more direct!
