Chapter 41 Sending Guan Gong Away

Last time, Zhou Tai blamed Lu Xun for letting Zhou Xue take risks, Lu Xun heard this, and said with a wry smile: "I really don't know what's going on, that Pan Jun must invite Miss Zhou to perform in the mansion." We analyzed that it may be that Liu Chan, the son of the world, didn't know where to see Miss Zhou's face and was fascinated by her peerless appearance. With that, Lu Xun glanced at Zhou Xue and continued:

"So we decided to use the beauty plan. And when we deliberately choreographed the show, we chose the sword dance, so that we could bring weapons into the banquet openly and facilitate assassination. ”

"Actually, you can't blame Uncle Lu, it's Xue who is willing. can worry about the snow for the main centimeter, although there is no regret in death. Zhou Xue defended Lu Xun.

Almost all the generals served under Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu died young, leaving this daughter, everyone usually takes care of her, and naturally does not want to see her in danger. It's just that this Zhou Xue's personality is a bit similar to Sun Shangxiang, he likes to fight in the military camp since he was a child, and he has been worshipping a famous teacher since he was a child, learning martial arts, and is good at light kung fu and strange swordsmanship that kills with one hit, which is very suitable for finding out news and assassination.

In this operation, Lu Xun naturally would not take the initiative to call her, but she deceived her mother, sneaked out, and joined the action group privately. For this girl who is usually spoiled like a princess, Lu Xun is also very helpless, so she asked her to pretend to be a singer to be responsible for finding out the news, she has martial arts herself, and there are a lot of secret agents around to protect her, I originally thought that there would be no danger, who knew that she would encounter a local tyrant like Uncle Fat Pig.

What's even more unexpected is that because she showed up in this matter and was invited by Pan Jun to perform in the palace, Lu Xun planned this assassination operation.

Not to mention that the Dongwu group was overjoyed because they were rescued, and not to mention that they talked about everything after parting, let's talk about Liu Hou's side.

After Liu Hou inquired about the treatment of the wounded, he also asked about the prison to fight fires and transfer the masses. Fortunately, for security reasons, it is strictly forbidden to build houses in the surrounding area, although there are some privileged classes who have crossed the line, but after all, there are not many.

Therefore, the fire did not spread this time, and after the troops were dispatched to fight the fire, the fire was quickly brought under control.

Then, Liu Hou carried out the last agenda item of emergency handling: to prosecute the responsible person and investigate the responsibility of the negligent.

The biggest person responsible in this matter is actually Liu Hou himself, and it was his excessive demands that forced the Dongwu people to take risks. But of course, this can't be said, he doesn't say it himself, and a few other smart people who understand it don't dare to say it, but most people can't figure out the mystery of it.

And the second person responsible is Pan Jun. This banquet was organized by Pan Jun, and the song and dance troupe was also recruited by Pan Jun, and he even allowed a show like sword dance that can be entered with weapons, even if he is not the mastermind, he has negligence in his work. Therefore, Liu Hou ordered him to be charged first and wait for interrogation.

Then there was Guan Xing, who was in charge of the city defense, but after all, he was too young to be too harsh, so he had to hand over the city defense to his brother Guan Ping. Guan Ping is an experienced general who can independently unify the army, and he should be relieved to have him.

Then there was the intelligence department, and Liu Hou asked Liu Guicai, the head of the Jingzhou branch of the CIA, to come over, scolded him severely, and ordered him to immediately rectify the situation and strengthen the investigation of the intelligence department to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

After Liu Guicai left in disgrace, Liu Hou personally interrogated Pan Jun. Pan Jun actually didn't know about it, and he was a character who was used from beginning to end, so naturally he couldn't judge anything. Liu Hou also knew that he was a person who was flattering and bullying, ambitious and talented, greedy for money and lustful, as for saying that he would do this kind of assassination of the prince, Liu Hou believed that he did not have the guts.

As a result, Liu Hou did not really investigate his criminal responsibility, but only demoted him by one level, deprived him of his military powers, and put him full-time in charge of repairing the sunken ship, digging the moat and repairing the urn city. It is equivalent to transferring him from a military position to a civilian position, and such a punishment is extremely severe for a general.

Pan Jun, who knew that he had made a mistake, was lucky to be able to pick up a life, so he naturally didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, not to mention that the prince also put himself in charge of so many big projects, it was all fat. Thinking of this, Pan Jun, who was greedy for money and lustful, couldn't help but feel hot again.

In the next few days, Liu Hou spent the follow-up work, visiting Guan Gong from time to time. Guan Gong's condition is very bad, new injuries add old ones, and he is seriously injured. Most of the past few days have been spent in a coma, because the wound is infected, so I have a high fever and often talk nonsense. Occasionally woke up, but his eyes were at a loss, and the two miracle doctors, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, were helpless.

After all, there are no antibiotics in this world, and it is still a bit weak to control infections with traditional Chinese medicine. Liu Hou was very afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive, and didn't he work hard to save him in vain? Liu Hou was thinking about whether to try to get penicillin out. But how easy is that said?

In fact, Liu Hou had already told these two miracle doctors about the concept of penicillin, after all, one of the reasons why Liu Hou fooled Hua Tuo at that time was to find a way to prevent the wound from becoming infected. Naturally, the two miracle doctors started their research in this area very early, but without a microscope, it was difficult to carry out bacteriological research. And the manufacturing conditions of penicillin are not so easy to meet, they have been preparing various equipment for many years, but penicillin has not really been manufactured.

In later generations, Liu Hou liked to read time-traveling novels and time-traveling dramas, and once he saw a clip from the Internet that I don't know if it was a stick drama or a Japanese drama, which demonstrated the whole process of making penicillin by the local method, Liu Hou was very curious, and watched this clip several times. But Liu Hou was skeptical that the penicillin produced by this method could be used.

Not to mention anything else, the purification process of penicillin made by this soil method is so simple that it is outrageous, and the purification methods of later generations cannot remove some impurities that make people allergic, can it be used by this soil method?

"Two miracle doctors, may I ask what Master Zuo said about penicillin before, I don't know how far I am studying now? No eyebrows, no. On this day, Liu Hou, Hua Tuo, and Zhang Zhongjing were discussing Guan Gong's condition, and the development of the disease was still desperate, so he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Qi Qi Shizi, according to this Zuo Xian Weng, this penicillin has a great effect on both internal medicine and surgery. We've been trying our best to get it out for a few years now. According to the method taught by Zuo Xian Weng, we found some plants that secreted resin, and collected this resin to make some hoses. As for the transparent containers, we also found some crystals and built a set with a lot of money. Fortunately, with the full support of the prince, he can have the financial resources to do these things.

As for the so-called syringes, we also had craftsmen make a few, in which the needles are made of silver and the syringes are still crystal. This is Hua Tuo's answer.

Hearing this, Liu Hou was depressed, why didn't that guy burn the glass out for a long time? I'll have to tell them to speed up their research and burn more.

Since Liu Hou didn't remember the specific raw materials for the production of glass, he could only draw a rough range and let the people of the research institute mix these things with each other at will. It burned a lot of strange things, including colored glass, tinted glass, but he couldn't burn transparent glass, so he didn't talk about a microscope now, and he couldn't even make a telescope or even a beaker, which made Liu Hou depressed.

"By the time we left the Ministry of Industry, the Medical Research Institute had cultivated a batch of penicillium and filtered and purified some white powder, but it was uncertain whether it was penicillin, because the quantity was still very small, and the production time was still short, and we had not had time to make animal and human products." Hua Tuo continued.

Liu Hou was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Regardless of whether those white powders are penicillin or not, you have to give it a try." Looking at the second uncle like this, I don't know how long it can last. Try, there is still a glimmer of opportunity, if you don't try, even this glimmer of opportunity is gone. ”

"Yes, I have also discussed with Mr. Zhong Jing that now Guan Gong's medicine stone is ineffective, and I can only rely on Mr. Zhong Jing's Zixue Pill (Note 1) and my life-saving pill plus my acupuncture three times a day to save my life, but Zixuedan is slightly poisonous, and I can't take it more, and the effect of my life-saving pill will be reduced after taking it for a long time, which is not a long-term solution. For today's time, only the legendary Zuo Ci miracle drug penicillin still has a trace of vitality. ”

"Since the two gentlemen also think so, then without further ado, send my second uncle back to Chengdu immediately, and ask Doctor Hua to accompany you all the way, so that he can be acupuncture to continue his life." Liu Hou didn't say a word, and immediately decided to send Guan Gong back to Chengdu to try penicillin nearby; Second, if he really has three strengths and two weaknesses, he can also let Liu Bei and his family see him for the last time.

"Dare to disobey?" Hua Tuo replied and agreed.

"I also asked Shizi to send someone to hurry up and inform the people of the Medical Research Institute, so that they could speed up the preparation of penicillin first. According to our previous experiments, the yield of this thing is very low, often a large pot of broth, only a small amount of white powder can be extracted, enough for one person, and maybe more preparation. At this time, Zhang Zhongjing spoke.

"This is not a problem, I will immediately fly the pigeon to pass the book and send the letter back to Chengdu in an expedited manner of 800 miles." Liu Houdao.

The discussion has been decided, Hua Tuo is about to go back to prepare for the departure back to Chengdu, at this time, Liu Hou suddenly remembered something and said: "Doctor Huashen, please remember to do a skin test before you give penicillin to your second uncle." It is said that some people will be allergic to some impurities or by-products in penicillin, and once allergies occur, the gods will not be saved.

"Old man remembers." Hua Tuo agreed. When Liu Hou taught Zuo Ci about penicillin before, he naturally emphasized allergies, so Hua Tuo also knew about this matter, and when Liu Hou reminded him, he naturally agreed.

So, Liu Hou sent Guan Gong away, Hua Tuo accompanied him to renew his life every day, and Zhou Cang led 500 soldiers to protect him along the way. Liu Hou deliberately built a smooth four-wheeled carriage that could allow Guan Gong to lie on it and rush to minimize his bumps.

However, most of the distance was by water, and Liu Hou chartered a super-large merchant ship to transport them back. This kind of boat is big enough to sail smoothly on the Yangtze River, and the impact on Guan Gong's injuries has been minimized.

Looking at the team that transported Guan Gong away, Liu Hou sighed, he had tried his best to get rid of him before, but he didn't expect to send him away in this form and for this reason. If he had to choose, he would rather not be in this form. He would rather that this martial saint, who was regarded as the embodiment of righteousness in later generations, and the second brother Guan who was worshipped in both black and white, would be safe and sound, rather than gain the dominance of Jingzhou in this way.

But since this is the case, he can't help but think about it more, and besides, it's not his fault that he caused the current situation, it's useless to think about it, so let's look forward. There are many more challenges to be faced.

Note 1: Zixuedan was first seen in the Song Dynasty's "Taiping Huimin and Pharmacy Formula" volume 6, also known as Zixue, Zixue San, originated from the "Zixue" in Tang Sun Simiao's "Qianjin Yifang", and it is estimated that it has nothing to do with Zhang Zhongjing.

I just thought the name was a bit cool, so I just used it. You can replace it with other names that you think are cool, such as the Nine Turns Great Returning Pill, the Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill, and so on. It's just a name, so don't be obsessed.

In terms of efficacy, Zixuedan is used to treat fever and faintness, and it is a bit similar to Guan Gong's current symptoms, but I don't know if he can use Zixuedan in this situation, please don't test the medicine indiscriminately according to this book.
