Lu Xun said: "After Liu Bei became the king of Hanzhong, he immediately made personnel arrangements for the attack on Cao Cao, and he was a military general. Guan Yu was named a former general, and immediately sent Fei Wei to Jingzhou to confer the seal festival for Guan Yu. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu refused to be awarded because Huang Zhong was the general. After Fei Wei's righteous and strict words, Guan Yu immediately woke up and happily accepted the seal. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Although General Guan has an arrogant temper, he can listen to the correct words, and he will immediately correct his mistakes. ”

Lu Xun continued: "After Guan Yu received the seal of the former general, he immediately launched an attack on Fancheng, where Cao Ren was stationed, and began the great Battle of Fanxiang. ”

Zhao Yun added: "The delivery of war reports during the Three Kingdoms period was very fast. Many people do not understand this, thinking that the mountains and rivers are long, and the transmission of intelligence information is very slow. In fact, in July, Fei Wei made a round trip from Hanzhong to Jingzhou, and Jingzhou to Hanzhong. ”

Lu Xun continued: "Guan Yu's Jingzhou army won a hundred battles, and all of a sudden, Cao Ren was beaten to an embarrassment, and he had no power to fight back. At the same time, Guan Yu continued to send troops to Liu Feng to cooperate with his Jingzhou Corps to form a horn offensive posture, and at the same time asked Wei Yan of Hanzhong, who had always advocated a surprise attack on Tongguan, for strategic cooperation. At the same time, Guan Yu also rushed the jade seal obtained in the Xiangyang River to Hanzhong to make a contribution, and asked the direction of the CD Jiangcheng to immediately give logistics reinforcements, grain and grass supplements, and personnel reinforcements. At this time, in the east, there was our Eastern Wu army to attack Hefei, and in the west, the Shu Han army was pressing step by step, directly threatening Chang'an and Wancheng, while Guan Yu's Jingzhou army directly attacked Cao Cao's henchman Xiangfan, and faced Cao Cao's capital Xudu. ”

The water princess said: "I heard that Guan Yu is full of confidence in victory, so while commanding the big battle, he also asked a famous doctor to perform a major operation on the battlefield. ”

Lu Xun nodded and said, "Yes, this is Guan Yu's famous bone scraping and healing. In the big battlefield of life and death, it is indeed extremely unusual for the coach to dare to do such a major operation because of an old injury. Back then, Cao Ren's poisonous arrow pierced Guan Yu's left arm, and although the surface had been restored, it would be sore on a rainy day. In this operation, the wound was re-opened until the bone was visible, and the remaining toxins of the poisoned arrow were scraped clean. After surgery, it takes several months for the wound to heal. This is a great test for commanders who need to charge forward on the battlefield. ”

The water princess said: "I heard that the famous doctor Hua Tuo operated on Guan Yu. ”

Lu Xun shook his head and said, "At this time, Hua Tuo has been executed by Cao Cao for ten years. There are other famous doctors who scrape Guan Yu's bones to heal his wounds. ”

The water princess sighed: "A generation of famous doctors was innocently killed by Cao Cao. Cao Cao has a reputation for loving talents! ”

Lu Xun said: "This is indeed the great tragedy of the times. Cao Cao knew that Hua Tuo's superb medical skills were outstanding, far beyond anyone else in his time. When Cao Cao's youngest son, Cao Chong, died, Cao Cao sadly said that if Hua Tuo was still alive, his beloved son would not have died. ”

The water princess asked, "In that case, why did Cao Cao have to kill Hua Tuo?" ”

Lu Xun sighed: "Politics! Cao Cao had to kill Hua Tuo at that time. ”

The water princess asked, "Hua Tuo is just a Confucian doctor, and he doesn't get involved in politics?" ”

Lu Xun said: "Cao Cao had suffered from head wind at that time, and he was in pain from time to time. Regarding his illness and the number of years he remains, Cao Cao discussed it in detail with Hua Tuo. I think that with Hua Tuo's serious attitude and Hua Tuo's ignorance of political sinisterness, Hua Tuo will definitely tell Cao Cao the seriousness of Cao Cao's illness and how long Cao Cao can live. In this way, Cao Cao will naturally arrange his posthumous affairs according to the life span time that Hua Tuo told him. ”

The water princess said, "That's good! Didn't Hua Tuo do great things for Cao Cao and make great contributions? ”

Lu Xun said: "But politics is not thinking like this. Hua Tuo's medical plan for the complete eradication of Cao Cao's head wind was a craniotomy to remove the wind (i.e., open the skull and remove the benign tumor in the brain). Hua Tuo's medical skills were far beyond the level of our time, and this kind of surgery was so shocking at that time that Cao Cao was completely unacceptable. Hua Tuo saw that the patient (Cao Cao) was so secretive about illness and avoided medical treatment, so he could only adopt conservative treatment methods for Cao Cao. According to Hua Tuo's prediction of Cao Cao's longevity, Cao Cao will see that he will suffer the most sudden blow (sudden death) at the most critical time in the last stage of his life. Therefore, Cao Cao did not allow anyone to know his lifespan, not his own sons, let alone his enemies. So Hua Tuo, the only one who knows this secret, must die. ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "No wonder Hua Tuo wanted to pass the medical book to the jailer before he died, but the jailer didn't dare to accept it. It must be Cao Cao's strict order that he does not leave a piece of paper. ”

Lu Xun said: "At this time (when Guan Yu launched the Xiangfan War), Cao Cao wanted to show that he had a strong ability to control the overall situation, but in fact he was powerless. Cao Cao didn't trust anyone at this time. During this period, Cao Cao's internal struggle for the crown prince had become open and white-hot, and anti-Cao Cao rebellions in various places had risen one after another, which was extremely fierce. However, at this time, the movement and movement of the army were very restricted and taboo. must obey the decision of Cao Cao, an old and sick man who is about to die. So this period was actually the most chaotic, weakest, and most vulnerable period for Cao Cao's camp. Guan Yu seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to launch the Battle of Fan Xiang, pointing directly at the weakness of Cao Cao's camp, for Cao Cao, this battle was already a decisive battle of life and death. This is the greatness of Guan Yu. ”

Zhao Yun said: "At this time, the first emperor chose between Zhang Fei and Wei Yan to fight against Cao Cao's frontline commander Hanzhong Taishou, to the surprise of most ministers, the first emperor did not choose his sibling Zhang Fei, but chose Wei Yan, who often suggested a surprise attack on Tongguan. At this time, all the military generals knew that the decisive battle against Cao Cao was about to begin. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun sighed and said: "If the strategic decision is carried out like this, there will be Liu Bei's victorious army in the west, Sun Quan's Hefei army in the east, and the Jingzhou army in the south. Isn't it just the immediate matter to eliminate the national thieves and revitalize the Han Dynasty? ”

Lu Xun nodded and said: "If history develops like this, Zhuge Liang will become the founder of the country like Xiao He and Zhang Liang." ”

Zhao Yun continued: "In July, Zhuge Liang hurried from CD to Hanzhong. Everyone thought that Zhuge Liang was going to Dongwu to pick up Mrs. Sun Shangxiang one by one"

Speaking of which, Zhao Yun glanced at the water princess.

The water princess (Sun Shangxiang) smiled and nodded.

Zhao Yun continued: "Everyone thought that Zhuge Liang was going to Dongwu to pick up Mrs. Sun. But after Zhuge Liang had a long talk with the first emperor, he talked to Wei Yan again. The next day, the first emperor announced that Hanzhong was too guarded by Wei Yan, and Wei Yan said to the first emperor: (I am the Taishou of Hanzhong) If Cao Cao raises the world (soldiers) to come, please refuse for the king. (If Cao Cao sends) will send 100,000 people, please swallow them for the king. ”

The water princess smiled and said, "Wei Yan can really speak. It sounds magnificent, but in fact, although I have heavy troops in my hands, I will definitely only defend and not attack. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Subsequently, Zhuge Liang took the first emperor and all our civil and military ministers back to CD. This is really a shock, and when I look back, I have turned to ashes. ”

Zhao Yun shook his head bitterly as he spoke.

Lu Xun said: "From this time on, for two whole years, all the documents and materials of Shu Han about this period disappeared, and no one was responsible for anything in this critical period. This fact shows that the decisive people in Shu Han are playing with power, changing the balance of forces in the regime, and changing and reversing the original course of history. Fundamentally speaking, it is to work against the national policy of "Longzhong Pair", so that the strategy of "Longzhong Pair" cannot be implemented. ”

The water princess asked with concern: "The national policy of "Longzhong Pair" is so good and so correct, why should the national policy of "Longzhong Pair" be impossible to achieve?" ”

Lu Xun looked at the water princess (Sun Shangxiang) and said: "The national policy of "Longzhong Pair" clearly points out that when attacking Cao Cao, Sun Quan must be made outside. If you want to marry Sun Quan, you must welcome back Mrs. Sun. If Sun Shangxiang returns to Shu Han and reunites with Adou's mother and son, their position in the Shu Han political arena will be unshakable. ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "The princess's battle-ready female barracks will make the princess and Adou's mother and son sacrosanct." ”

Lu Xun continued: "If this is the case, Zhuge Liang must bow down to Sun Shangxiang and Adou's mother and son. Such a political combination would be invincible in the world. Eliminating the national thieves and revitalizing the Han Dynasty is just around the corner. But at this time, Zhuge Liang was already a powerful minister who was pursuing power, and he was no longer the great villager of Longzhong. Such results were brought back to Sun Shangxiang one by one, and Zhuge Liang, who pursued power and monopoly, was the most jealous. ”

The water princess asked: "Why does a person sacrifice the overall situation of the country, forget his original intention, and sacrifice his great ideals when he was young for the sake of his own desire for power?" ”

Lu Xun sighed: "When many people don't have great power, they are capable ministers and pillars of the country. Once all they think about is power and power struggles, they often do things that hurt the country and hurt their loved ones. They have completely forgotten their original intentions, and they will not consider the great ideals and goals of their youth at all. ”
