Chapter 183: A Thousand Years in Advance
The doctors temporarily recruited by Huo Guang had already begun to arrive at Yangshan Pass two days later, because Huo Guang was now the nominal supreme governor south of the river in the Han Dynasty, and he only transferred doctors from a few counties, whether it was the Taishou of Yuzhang County or the Minister of Changsha State, they were very cooperative.
However, what made Huo Guang feel bad was that after communicating with these doctors who arrived one after another, these people did not have any effective prescriptions to prevent heat stroke, and even the vast majority of doctors did not have a complete prescription in their hands, and most of them practiced medicine with one or a few common herbs to treat diseases, and it can be said that most of them still stayed in the stage of treating diseases with life experience.
And even those who have one or two prescriptions in their hands regard them as treasures and pass them on in the form of family heirlooms to ensure their stable and reliable income, and it can even be said that this prescription is the foundation of their family. Huo Guang finally knew why medicine was not yet developed in this era, and even the recognized system theory had not yet been basically formed.
"Your Majesty, this is something sent by Lu Shu's people, and it is said that some tribes in the mountains of South Vietnam rely on taking this thing to ward off the heat." Just when Huo Guang and the doctors were at a loss, Huo Tang found Huo Guang with some excitement and showed Huo Guang a few plant leaves with jagged lips.
"What is this?" Huo Guang didn't have the slightest research on medicine, so he naturally didn't know what was in front of him.
"Back to the general's words, this is Huoxiang leaves, there are many of these things in South Vietnam, and the villain knows that this thing has some effect on the summer heat, but in fact, it is not very effective, so it is better than nothing." Among the conscripted doctors, there was a middle-aged doctor from Changsha who knew this thing.
"Huoxiang? That's right....... Have any of you ever heard of the recipe for Huoxiang Zheng Qi Dispersion? The word Huoxiang suddenly reminded Huo Guang of the famous Chinese patent medicine Huoxiang Zhengqi Water in later generations, but there is one thing Huo Guang knows, that is, the earliest record in the ancient books is called Huoxiang Zhengqi Dispersion, as for when it was first recorded, he didn't know.
Huo Guang asked everyone, but everyone shook their heads and said they hadn't heard of it. Huo Guang also knows that the treatment of diseases with traditional Chinese medicine often requires several or even dozens of medicinal materials to have the best effect, even if Huoxiang has the effect of dispelling heat, but this only one is useless, and the specific formula of Huoxiang Zhengqi dispersion is now unknown.
For a moment, the clue seemed to be interrupted again. However, at this moment, Huo Tang on the side suddenly asked, "Huoxiang is dissipating?" What is a positive air dispersion? β
Huo Guang naturally didn't know how to answer Huo Tang, he glanced at the middle-aged doctor who recognized Huoxiang just now. This person also understood the meaning when he saw Huo Guang looking at him, so he replied: "This righteous qi dispersion shouldn't be anything!" Powder refers to grinding medicinal herbs into powder form and taking them with water. As for the word of righteousness, it is a term used by us doctors, and it is a concept that fights against the evil qi of the human body, usually referring to the ability of the human body to repair and regulate and maintain the coordination of the functions of the organs and meridians. β
"What's your name?" Huo Guang saw that this person's answer was quite insightful, and he was not the kind of person who simply relied on the experience of his ancestors to heal his illness.
"Back to the general's words, the villain Changsha Guo Zhang Han." Zhang Han bowed respectfully to Huo Guang before reporting his name. This can be regarded as respect for Huo Guang and due etiquette.
Huo Guang nodded slightly at Zhang Han, then pondered for a moment and said, "You said that this righteousness, can there be medicine to improve it?" General Ben has an idea, let's see if it's feasible. If this Huoxiang is used as the main ingredient, supplemented by medicine that can correct qi, can you make a recipe for Huoxiang to disperse positive qi? β
Since there is no ready-made recipe, then make it yourself, this is a bold idea of Huo Guang. Since Huoxiang Zhengqi Dispersion already knows the main medicine, it is not impossible to combine it. If you can interview the commonly used medicine Huoxiang Zhengqi in advance, it will be of positive significance to the whole era and the development of medicine.
"Dare to ask the general, I don't know who this Huoxiang righteous qi comes from, usually the medical prescription is not passed on, if I want to peek at this prescription rashly, I'm afraid it's a little .....inappropriate," Zhang Han asked again.
Huo Guang didn't expect that the portals in this era would be so serious, but on the other hand, these people are quite respectful of intellectual property rights. But Huo Guang didn't want to hold a view on this kind of thing that benefited the country and the people, so he once again used his tried and tested reason to fool: "When General Ben was still in Pingyang, didn't he meet an old man who was inhuman? At that time, he taught me a lot of things, and originally this Huoxiang was going to be passed on to me, but after mentioning it once, there was no follow-up, and then the old man disappeared, and the matter was over. β
"Even so, it is said that this recipe belongs to the general, so it is no problem for the general to order me to wait to deduce this recipe." Zhang Han nodded and said, and the other doctors also nodded, expressing their willingness to work together to perfect this recipe.
"Well, now that you've decided, let's get started. Sister Tang ordered to go down, and all the medicinal herbs were open to them. The person who tried the medicine was handed over to Lu Bode's prisoners, and a copy of each combination of Huoxiang Zhengqi was quickly sent to Lu Bode, and the military doctor was asked to record the effect of the medicine. I don't believe that I can't try the real Huoxiang Zhengqi to disperse. Huo Guang hurriedly ordered, and even the person who tested the medicine had thought about it. Although it is a bit inhumane and cruel to let those prisoners come to test the medicine and use it in the eyes of the future generations, but the current situation Huo Guang can't take care of that much, and besides, it is better for a few people to die after all, than more people to die of heat stroke. And the people who tested the medicine must have been prisoners who have suffered from heat stroke, which gives them a chance to live.
Huo Guang led it, and these recruited doctors immediately became busy, most of them still wrote prescriptions on their own, but there were also a few people who gathered together in three or five of them, first discussing how to combine medicines, expressing their opinions and finally finalizing a medical prescription. Huo Guang also nodded slightly when he saw these people, and Huo Guang couldn't eliminate it for a while, but these few people were willing to discuss, at least it was the beginning of cooperation between doctors, and things were developing in a good direction.
These healers wrote down the medicine and began to grasp and grind it, which was then sent to Lubode by fast horses. The next step is to wait for the medication to observe the effect of the drug, and during this waiting time, those doctors who have collaborated to improve the prescription also began a preliminary exchange of experience under Huo Guang's intentional or unintentional intervention.
"Sister Tang, write down the names of these people, I will be useful in the future. In addition, is there any news from the lobbyist sent to King Cangwu? Huo Guang said to Huo Tang beside him while dealing with this military affairs.
At this moment, Huo Tang was also looking at the business newspapers, and sometimes annotated them. Hearing Huo Guang's inquiry, she put down what she was doing and wrote down on a piece of paper what Huo Guang had just said about writing down the names of those doctors who were willing to communicate. This is a habit of Huo Tang's work, she will write down some things that she thinks are important and need to be done immediately with small notes. After writing this note, she replied to Huo Guang: "Listening to Lu Shu's news, King Cangwu just met with the envoy sent by Lu Jia a few days ago, and at present, King Cangwu is also wavering, in order not to backfire, Lu Jia said that he hopes to wait a few more days, and he will personally meet King Cangwu at the right time, so as to be foolproof." β
"Lu Shu also came to South Vietnam? Tell him not to take too many risks, now his life is worth more than the King of Cangwu. Huo Guang was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that Lu Shu would come to South Vietnam to do this in person. However, although Lu Shu was his secret subordinate, Huo Guang didn't want to influence the actions and judgments of these subordinates too much, he believed in Lu Shu's ability, and he didn't doubt the decisions he made.
"There are a few other things I need to tell you." Huo Tang continued, originally these things were also to be told to Huo Guang, but at the beginning Huo Guang was busy, she felt that there was no need to interrupt Huo Guang's train of thought, but now that she had talked to Huo Guang, she reported to Huo Guang once.
"Speak" Huo Guang said one word very simply.
Huo Tang picked up another piece of paper on the side of his hand, which was all the news he sorted out and needed to report to Huo Guang. Then he said: "Some of this is our own information, and some of it is the information of the imperial court. His Majesty, the king of Dongyue, said that he was willing to send 8,000 troops to attack the South Vietnamese army with General Lou Chuan. His Majesty has agreed to his request, and Chang'an's order has been received by our Pingnan Army. However, our information shows that as early as before our army went south, the king of Dongyue received LΓΌ Jia's envoy and received a large amount of gold treasures from LΓΌ Jia. β
"Huh? How could there be such a thing? Immediately ordered Yang Fu to secretly monitor the army of the king of Dongyue, maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times, and allow him to attack the Dongyue army if there is any abnormal movement. Huo Guang also realized that this news was very important, for the sake of safety, he not only did not dare to use the army of Yu Shan, the king of Dongyue, but even had to guard against the black hands behind the back of the Dongyue army.
"Go on." Huo Guang knew that Huo Tang had more than enough to say.
"General He Yi came to report that a total of 30,000 prisoners from Bashu and Yelang have been assembled to cooperate with the soldiers, and another Qianwei Taishou has entered and Lan, and 10,000 people have been levied and sent to the Lan ** team, which will converge with He Yi's army and go down the river to South Vietnam." Huo Tang continued.
"Well, let He Yi and Zheng Yantian's army converge at Lishui Pass, where nearly 60,000 troops of my Han will be gathered, and then it will be time for Zhao Guang, the king of Cangwu, to make the final decision. In addition, Lubod was ordered to speed up the march again, and the prisoners who really couldn't do it should give up. Even if those people come, not only will they not be able to enhance the strength of our army, but they will become a burden, and these tens of thousands of army food and grass are not a small amount! Huo Guang once again ordered Lu Bode's prisoner army to speed up, the so-called inappropriate family does not know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, Huo Guang now knows how amazing the daily grain and grass of tens of thousands of troops is, and now he is even a little worried about how the grain and grass will continue after Lu Bode's tens of thousands of troops arrive.
After doing this, General Huo Guang of Pingnan knew that as the commander, leading tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops seemed to be majestic, but in fact, there were too many things to bear and face. Just like Huo Guang now, he didn't fight a battle when he went south to conquer South Vietnam, and first encountered the threat of summer illness, seeing that this matter was a little eyebrow-raising, and several armies were about to arrive at the position as originally planned, but the problem of grain and grass appeared again. I don't know how many problems I will encounter when I actually fight the South Vietnamese army?
