For Jia Xu, leaving Chang'an and rushing to Hanyang County, Liangzhou, is an official trip that he can leave, but the burden on his shoulders is not light, and he must be able to persuade Ma Teng and Ma Chao to take Ma Teng to Chang'an to recuperate.

In order to strengthen his persuasiveness, Lu Bu made the boss's capital, and even visited Hua Tuo, a miracle doctor who had just been invited to Chang'an, and spent a lot of money to ask him to go to Hanyang County with Jia Xu.

Lu Bu had not been able to make his wife and concubine pregnant, and it was also after he was invited to Hua Tuo and asked him for diagnosis and treatment, which made his wife Yan pregnant in one fell swoop, in fact, it was not only that, but the concubine Minchan was also pregnant, but it was less than two months, and according to the custom, it has not been disclosed to the public for the time being.

Along the way, Jia Xu and Hua Tuo had a very happy conversation, he was already brilliant and good at grasping the psychology of others; In addition to his superb medical skills, Hua Tuo, a miracle doctor, has traveled all over the world all year round, has a wide range of knowledge, and is hearty and optimistic, so from the beginning of the road, the two have traveled in the same car, all over the world, and talk about everything.

Even though he learned in advance that Lu Bu had sent someone to escort the divine doctor Hua Tuo to come, Ma Chao still did not rush back to greet him in person, and he was working with the general Pang De in Hanyang County adjacent to Longxi County in the city of Zhengdao, trying his best to stabilize the city defense and resist the attack of Han Sui's army.

Once the road is lost, Ji County will lose a barrier, and the Jincheng army led by Han Sui can reach the city of Ji County.

The general stationed in Ji County, still Pang De's brother Pang Rou, had him go out of the city to greet him, and Jia Xu and his convoy successfully entered Ji County and settled down.

However, Jia Xu and the divine doctor Hua Tuo did not rest, and simply freshened up, that is, accompanied by Pang Rou, they came to Ma Teng's residence to diagnose and treat him.

The light of the candles shines brightly in the house, and the charcoal fire emits heat. Pang Rou accompanied Jia Xu, chatting and waiting outside, and after half an hour, the divine doctor Hua Tuo walked out of the inner room with a pensive face.

Pang Rou stood up, shook Hua Tuo to the ground, and asked respectfully: "Divine doctor, lord, how is the lord......

Hua Tuo sighed lightly and sat down under Pang Rou's guidance. Shaking his head, he replied: "The situation is not very optimistic, the patient has been poisoned for too long, and the toxin has penetrated into the internal organs, and it is difficult to eradicate it, and this poison is not good. It is not like that produced in the Central Plains. ”

"Divine Doctor Gao Jian!" Pang Rou replied with admiration on her face. "The information obtained from Kaneshiro is confirmed. This poison came from the Western Regions, and it took a lot of effort to find some antidote from Hu Shang from the Western Regions, but unfortunately, it was too late. ”

"Hmm." Hua Tuo nodded, "This poison is very toxic, but it doesn't seem to be poisoned directly, so it can save a life." Today's plan. Only by carefully recuperating and strengthening the body, and slowly pulling it out with medicinal stones, over time, it should be able to alleviate the pain, but ......"

Hearing Hua Tuo stop talking like this, Pang Rou looked concerned and asked, "But what?" ”

Hua Tuo sighed and replied calmly: "He is incompetent, he can't be cured, and he has the trust of the general of the chariot and cavalry, ashamed, ashamed!" ”

Pang Rou was silent for a while, also quite gloomy, stood up, and whispered comfortingly: "The divine doctor is too modest, the young master is leading the army outside, and the gentle acting lord and the young master, thank the divine doctor......"

After speaking, he turned to Jia Xu, bowed as well, and continued, "...... Thank you, General, sir! ”

Just when Pang Rou thanked him, Hua Tuo was already sitting on the desk and drafting a prescription, Pang Rou and Jia Xu were not good at disturbing each other at this time, sat back at the desk, and watched quietly there.

I saw Hua Tuo sometimes writing hard, sometimes frowning and pondering, sometimes lifting the pen to smear, and so on for more than a quarter of an hour, he raised his head with satisfaction, with a hint of fatigue in his smile, and said: "Well, let's use this recipe to recuperate for a few days and see how effective it is." ”

Pang Rou thanked him, immediately summoned someone inside, took Hua Tuo's prescription, and prepared a set of medicinal materials by himself.

After everything was done, Pang Rou thanked Hua Tuo and Jia Xu: "Thank you to the divine doctor, sir, the two came from afar, the young master specially sent people to tell again and again, to be gentle and entertaining, please, the cold and bitter cold land in the west, not as good as Chang'an, not thoughtful, please ask the divine doctor and Mr. Hai forgive!" ”

Hua Tuo and Jia Xu spoke humbly, accompanied by Pang Roudi, and went out.

For a few days, Jia Xu said less and watched more, not mentioning Lu Bu's intention of sending him here, just accompanying Hua Tuo to Ma Teng's residence for diagnosis and treatment every day, and occasionally when Ma Teng was in good spirits, he stepped forward to meet and greet him.

Such a move made Pang Rou secretly surprised in her heart.

Jia Xu's position in Lu Bu's army, Pang Rou is very clear, he must be able to let such an important person leave Chang'an and come to Hanyang, he must be shouldering a heavy responsibility, and this heavy responsibility, in fact, even if he doesn't say it, Pang Rou can roughly guess it.

Every day, Pang Rou would summarize Ma Teng's situation that day, the diagnosis and treatment of the divine doctor Hua Tuo, Jia Xu's speech, and the military information from Ji County and other places, and hand it over to the messenger to send it to Qidao overnight, and present it to Ma Chaomu.

Although separated by more than 100 miles, Ma Chao still knows the situation in Ji County and the recent situation of his father Ma Teng.

The night is deep, the north wind is howling, in the palace in the city, the lights and candles are still bright, the coach Ma Chao has not gone to bed, and the guards and attendants can not rest, so they can only accompany them.

However, in the study, there were only three people, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and Pang De, and it was precisely because of the fact that the road was the first barrier in Hanyang County and the stakes were very important, so Ma Chao did not hesitate to gather heavy troops to guard it.

It's just that in the face of the Jincheng army led by Han Sui, Ma Chao obviously felt a little powerless, in terms of generals, Han Sui's side was far inferior, and even Ma Dai went to war, it was difficult to send someone to meet him, not to mention Pound, and himself.

Not long ago, Ma Chao was careless, thinking that Han Sui's long-term war was unfavorable, and he wanted to withdraw from Xiangwu and withdraw to Longxi for the winter.

After learning a lesson, Ma Chao no longer dared to easily lead the army to leave the city to pursue, and at most he took turns to lead the army to call for battle in front of Han Sui's camp every day, but Han Sui had been silent, which made Ma Chao worried.

After discussing for most of the night, the three of them still got nothing, if in the past, they simply went to rest early, and after Guy fell into the night, the three of them had to take turns to lead the army to patrol all parts of the city, in case Han Sui sent people to lurk in the city and take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.

The reason for discussing it for so long today is because of Pang Rou's letter, which mentioned his speculation, and the intention of Lu Bu to send Jia Xu and the divine doctor Hua Tuo to Hanyang Ji County, etc.

Ma Chao stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples on both sides, feeling a headache, if he had a choice, he would rather fight on the battlefield with a knife and a gun, rather than face these trivial matters that were guessed and guessed.

But now that his father Ma Teng is recuperating from poisoning and can't be a director, he has to bear the burden of Ma Jiajun, and he has to face the things he doesn't want to face.

After reading his brother's letter, Pang De respectfully handed it back to Ma Chao and asked: "Lu Bu sent someone to escort the divine doctor here, this is to show goodwill to the lord and the young master, as for the solicitation, does Lu Bu think that he can get Xiliang so easily?" ”

Even if Lu Bu can recruit Ma Teng and Ma Chao, father and son, he is only controlling Hanyang County among the nine counties of Xiliang, and he is still far from controlling the entire Xiliang.

Ma Chaoyang raised the silk in his hand, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Rou said very clearly, he is worried that if Lu Bu turns to Jincheng to show goodwill and attacks from front to back, it will be difficult for our army to protect Hanyang County." ”

Pound was silent, he also noticed this passage when he read the letter just now, but he felt in his heart that the possibility of doing so was too small, so he didn't think deeply.

After pondering for a moment, he still said what he thought in his heart: "Lu Bu, Han Sui, can the two hook up together?" ”

Ma Chao looked at it a little strangely, and said in an old-fashioned tone: "Long-distance friends and close attacks, combined vertical and horizontal, Han Sui and Lu Bu are not a life-and-death feud, of course it is possible to hook up together, but ......"

But what, Ma Chao didn't say anything more, he recalled in his heart the situation when he fought side by side with Lu Bu before, at that time, he and Lu Bu got along quite well, whether it was in peacetime or in wartime, Lu Bu attached great importance to him, so thinking about it, Lu Bu took the initiative to send someone to escort the divine doctor Hua Tuo to Hanyang, and he also thought that he had this friendship.

But if Lu Bu feels that it is hopeless to recruit Ma Jiajun, in the face of practical interests, how much effect can this friendship play?

Ma Chao had a headache and found that no matter whether he wanted it or not, these annoying trivialities, he couldn't help but think about them, at this time, he very much hoped that his father Ma Teng was here, and this annoying trivial matter could be decided by his father.

"Brother Chao, what Brother Rou said is just his guess, what did Lu Bu mean, didn't the person who came have said it yet? Why not wait for someone to say what they mean before making a plan? ”

Ma Dai interjected, and Ma Chao and Pang De nodded again and again, and their hearts seemed to have put down a big stone and suddenly relaxed.

However, Ma Chao himself also knew very well in his heart that this matter was only put on hold for the time being, and it had not been resolved, once the messenger Jia Xu sent by Lu Bu explained his intentions, how should he respond?

At this time, he remembered that Jia Xu was the number one strategist under Lu Bu's account, and Lu Bu sent him, which shows the importance he attaches to Hanyang and Ma Jiajun.

Inexplicably, a sense of pride surged in Ma Chao's heart, but in an instant, this pride turned into wisps of trouble, pervasive all over his body.

"Young master, it's late at night, rest early, I'll lead the army out to inspect!"

Pound said.

Ma Dai on the side said to Pang De: "Okay, Brother De will go to inspect first, and an hour later, the younger brother will lead the army to inspect." ”

They took turns to lead the army to inspect the whole city, just to prevent the story of Di Dao being breached, repeating it here in Zhengdao, the situation that night, Pang De and Ma Dai were very clear, only Ma Chao was trapped in Chang'an at that time, and he had never experienced it personally.

Ma Chao took a deep breath and nodded in response: "Okay, you guys go, be careful in everything!" (To be continued......)
