The Legend of Diaoyutai - 84 84 Goddess of Victory, Goddess of Peace (6)

Why did Cao Cao, after pacifying Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, not only did not take advantage of the victory to march into Bashu, but instead retreated the army?

Fa Zheng said it well: "This is not his (Cao Cao's) wisdom and lack of strength, and there will be worries in it." ”

What is Cao Cao's "inner sorrow"?

Wuhuan in the north and Sun Quan in the south are all attacking. What is even worse is that Guan Yu has been running Jingzhou for ten years and has become a model for the revival of the Han Dynasty that the whole country yearns for, and the anti-Cao activities throughout the country regard Guan Yu's Jingzhou as the base camp for supporting the Han and anti-Cao, and they all claim to accept Guan Yu's guidance.

But the most important "internal worry" that Cao Cao most unwilling to let people know was his headache. This started with Cao Cao killing Hua Tuo ten years ago.

In 208 AD, Cao Cao executed Hua Tuo.

The sergeant came to report: "Prime Minister, Hua Tuo has been beheaded." ”

Cao Cao said lightly: "Bury it." ”

The sergeant replied, "Yes." Buried Hua Tuo. ”

After Cao Cao saw the sergeant go out, he immediately ordered: "Call the warden who is holding Hua Tuo here." ”

The warden came in, knelt down and said, "The villain respectfully listens to the prime minister's instructions." ”

Cao Cao stood up and walked over to the warden, and asked in a low voice, "What did Hua Tuo say before he was executed?" ”

The warden said, "The villain doesn't dare to say it. ”

Cao Cao said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

The warden said: "Hua Tuo said that in ten years, the prime minister will know for himself that he killed me......

Cao Cao asked, "What is it?" ”

The warden whispered, "...... Be...... is a fatal mistake. ”

Cao **** had a face and asked for a long time: "What did Hua Tuo leave before he died?" ”

The warden said: "Hua Tuo burned all the paper before he was executed. ”

Cao Cao didn't believe it, and asked, "Well, one by one."

The warden kowtowed again and again and said, "Hua Tuo did burn all the paper, leaving only a medicine book to give to the villain to make a living." ”

Cao Cao's eyes widened and said, "Medicine book? ”

Cao Cao pursed his lips greedily. This is a good thing, maybe the secret recipe for head wind is in the book!

The warden kowtowed and said, "The villain saw that it was Hua Tuo's book, so he said: 'It's not enough for this dead man to kill himself, but also to kill others!'" And he threw it into the stove and burned it. ”

Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "It's all burned?" ”

The warden kowtowed and said, "The villain reached out and grabbed it, but only got this one." ”

The warden handed over the paper.

Cao Cao took the paper and said: "The hemp is boiling, the patient takes it, although the operation is cut with a knife, it does not feel pain." ”

Cao Cao held the paper, pondered for a long time, and repeated to himself: "The patient takes it, although the operation is cut with a knife, it does not feel pain." ”

Three months later.

The maid hurriedly reported: "Prime Minister, the sixth son is seriously ill. ”

Cao Cao was shocked and said, "Quick! Hurry up and ask the Imperial Doctor! ”

Who is the Sixth Son? It is the famous six-year-old prodigy Cao Chong. Excellent in character and learning, deeply favored by Cao Cao, Cao Cao even considered whether to establish Cao Chong as the son. He was thirteen years old.

The imperial doctor knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "The villain is incompetent, and the villain has no way to return to heaven." ”

Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

The imperial doctor kowtowed again and again and said, "The little boy has passed away." ”

Cao Cao let out an "ah", was stunned for a long time, shed two lines of tears, and asked, "Imperial Doctor, can't you bring the dead back to life?" ”

The imperial doctor kowtowed again and again and said, "Those who can bring the dead back to life are divine doctors." The villain is a mortal body, unreachable. ”

Cao Cao asked, "In the world today, how many people can be called divine doctors?" ”

The imperial doctor said, "The villain doesn't dare to say it. ”

Cao Cao said: "Forgive you for your innocence, come on! ”

The imperial doctor said: "In today's world, the only person who can be called a miracle doctor is Hua Tuo. ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a long time, shook his head and sighed with tears: "If Hua Tuo is still in the world, my Chong'er will not leave me!" ”

Cao Cao is famously a man who never admits his mistakes, and this is perhaps the only time Cao Cao admits his mistakes.

From the current information, we can know that Cao Cao's brain should have a benign tumor. Hua Tuo should have treated similar cases before, so Hua Tuo was able to accurately estimate how long Cao Cao (without surgery) would survive. Only then did he dare to boldly propose a craniotomy treatment proposal to Cao Cao, a traitorous male who dominated the world.

Of course, Hua Tuo's medical plan was shocking at the time. Cao Cao couldn't understand it, and of course he couldn't accept it. So Cao Cao had to endure intermittent headaches for a long time. I just hope that there is some secret recipe to cure my headwind.

Ten years after Hua Tuo's death, Cao Cao's brain tumor grew bigger and bigger, Cao Cao's headaches became more and more severe, and the intermittent periods became more and more frequent. At this time, Cao Cao also recognized Hua Tuo's diagnosis and the medical plan of craniotomy to remove the brain tumor more and more in his heart, and he knew that if Hua Tuo was still alive in the world at this time, as long as Hua Tuo took out his brain tumor (that is, Hua Tuo said "wind disease"), he would be a completely healthy person. But now he could only die in agony.

Who would dare to open Cao Cao's craniomy to remove a brain tumor now?

People who have Hua Tuo's technology do not have Hua Tuo's courage. People who have Hua Tuo's guts do not have Hua Tuo's technology!

Cao Cao has now actually entered the countdown stage of his life. At the same time of such a tragic illness, to come to such a difficult battle, we have to admire Cao Cao's tenacious will and strong physique (except for brain tumors).

In October 218, Wancheng Taishou Houyin rebelled against Cao Cao, claiming to be under the leadership of Guan Yu Jingzhou. The people of Wancheng are supportive.

Cao Rentun soldiers in Fancheng, mainly facing Guan Yu in Jingzhou. At this time, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to send troops to suppress Wancheng Hou Yin.

In January 219 AD, Cao Ren poured Fancheng soldiers to conquer Wancheng, beheaded Hou Yin, slaughtered Wancheng, and then immediately returned to Fancheng to guard Jingzhou Guan Yu.

In the military tent on the front line of Yangpingguan.

Liu Bei and Fa Zheng were discussing military intelligence.

The scout hurriedly reported: "Lord Qi, Cao Cao's 200,000 troops have been drawn from Chang'an and are coming to Hanzhong." ”

Fa Zheng asked, "Which way does Cao Jun go?" ”

The scout reported: "Cao's army came straight to the valley. ”

Liu Bei said with a stern face: "Cao Cao took the slope valley directly, it seems that he is in a hurry to meet with Xiahou Yuan of Yangping Pass, and he should join forces outside to encircle and annihilate our army." ”

Fa Zheng said: "Our army should eliminate Xiahou Yuan in Yangping Pass as soon as possible, so that we can turn around and calmly deal with Cao Cao's 200,000 army." ”

Liu Bei said: "Yes! If you want to advance, you will retreat. Our army immediately withdrew from the Yangpingguan camp, crossed the water and set up camp on the opposite side of Dingjun Mountain, condescendingly, and all the movements of Xiahou Yuan Yangpingguan were in full view. ”

Fa Zheng said: "That's fine. Our army is approaching the city, and Xiahou Yuan refuses to fight with the strong defense of the city, and it has been more than a year, and it is not a way to do it. ”

The Shu army crossed the water and marched towards Dingjun Mountain.

Liu Bei and Fa Zheng crossed the river successively.

Liu Bei pointed to the highest mountain next to Dingjun Mountain on the opposite side and said, "Xiaozhi, what do you see on the top of that mountain?" ”

Fa Zheng looked at it for a while and said, "Lord, Xiaozhi didn't see anything. ”

Liu Bei sneered: "That mountain is one of Xiahou Yuan's eyes. ”

Fa Zheng was taken aback and said, "What? That mountain is one of Xiahou Yuan's eyes? ”

Liu Bei smiled: "Xiaozhi, you will see it soon." ”

Fa Zheng is looking up.

Sure enough, among the green trees on the hill, a waving red flag appeared.
