Two years after the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu, who was only 36 years old, died of illness.

In this era of poor medical care, it is not unbelievable that anyone can die from a minor illness, anyone can suffer from a serious dark disease, and anyone can lose their life because of quacks.

Of course, you can also look at it from another angle, in this era of poor criminal investigation, even if you are plotted by the insects in Jiangdong, even if you are sent by Cao Wei, even if you are plotted by Xiao Qiao, who has endured humiliation for ten years just to take revenge, there is a high probability that you will not be able to find out, and you can only deal with it as if you died of illness.

Although Zhou Yu admired Lyle very much, the two had actually only had a few encounters before, and then one went to the front line to direct the Northern Expedition process, and the other stayed in Wu County to learn practical techniques, not to mention how deep the friendship was, and Lyle was not at all interested in whether there was an unknown truth about Zhou Yu's death.

He just took advantage of this incident to take advantage of everyone's mentality of being in danger, and played a trick to play -

"Xianggong, how are the famous doctors from all over the country arrested?" Sun Shangxiang, who came back from outside, inquired about Lyle, who was already writing the side of the bookcase.

"What 'catch'? This is called 'invitation', the lord set up a medical school, invited famous doctors from all over the world to discuss medical skills, and trained doctors, which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. Lyle said solemnly.

"Yes, Xianggong did not secretly speak to the second brother, and arrested the doctor who was unwilling to come on trumped-up charges." Sun Shangxiang glanced at Lyle, who asked Sun Quan to carry the black cauldron, and said with a coquettish smile, "Xianggong is not for the needs of future navigation, and invited famous doctors from all over the world to hollow out their experience. ”

“…… Got smarter? Lyle finally stopped what he was doing and looked at Sun Shangxiang with a strange expression.

If anyone examines what he has written down at this time, they will find that it is related to the disease, but it is not the same as the way it is recorded in the existing medical books.

Sun Shangxiang, who was implicitly ridiculed by his father-in-law, glared, but he didn't really get angry with his father-in-law, who was still like a younger brother, and continued to ask: "So, what is the level of those famous doctors?" ”

"With my current shallow medical attainments, where am I qualified to judge their level," Lyle had only read a lot of medical books, but his clinical experience was zero, and he still had self-knowledge, "but in the face of the same patient suffering from wind and cold, the prescriptions they wrote down were already slightly different...... If you encounter a serious illness or a complicated disease, you will probably have a completely different opinion, right? ”

Sun Shangxiang was dumbfounded and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

"Who knows, there is not even the 'right answer', and I don't know who to learn from when I want to learn deeply." Lyle shook his head and sighed, "Besides, the existing medical skills are all lessons learned, and if I want to find the 'right answer' on my own, I may need to do something deviant." ”

"What deviant?" Sun Shangxiang asked subconsciously.

"......" Lyle shook his head and didn't answer.

For example, in traditional Chinese medicine, the phrase 'external evil enters the body and paralyzes the shoulder' summarizes the cause, the symptom is 'shoulder and arm pain', and finally there is a prescription for the treatment of this disease.

This prescription can indeed cure this disease, and Lyle believes in the experience of his ancestors, but all the famous doctors cannot give answers to the questions of 'what is an external evil', 'how can an external evil enter the body', 'how can an external evil cause the qi and blood not work?', 'why can this prescription cure this disease', and 'why can this herb drive away evil spirits'.

This is not the outcome that Lyle wants, and according to his thoughts, the truth of the disease must be inseparable from the 'dissection of the corpse' and the 'dissection of the living'.

…… Rest assured, in this life, he chose to sail to see the world, and it is enough to taste the medical skills.

Four years after the Battle of Chibi, the war between the North and the South gradually subsided.

It is impossible to say whether the situation of 'if Zhou Lang had not passed away' would have been better, but Lu Su, who took over Zhou Yu's position at the front, and Zhuge Liang, who was entrusted by Sun Quan with important internal political affairs, have both made achievements, and there is no need to feel sorry for themselves while maintaining internal stability.

However, with the expansion of the territory, the supply line was stretched too long, and it was difficult to rely on the power of artillery to attack the city and pull out the village, and at the same time, the rear side had also squeezed out the vitality of the poor army in recent years.

After a series of battles, countless Cao soldiers were captured. Because the Jiangnan region was rich and the food was abundant, Sun Wu did not directly kill all the 80,000 soldiers under Yuan Shao's command like Cao Wei, but used these manpower in production as much as possible, and then incorporated them into Wu's army after a period of time.

As for the generals and strategists who represented Cao Wei against Sun Wu, their treatment was not so good, and they were either dead or in prison, and their families were also affected and could not turn over-

"Hey, Captain, do you really want these guys to be sailors?" In front of Gan Ning was a large group of men and women in rags, these people were previously from wealthy families, or from official families, or from scholarly families, but now they are only prisoners of Eastern Wu.

"The sailors you have trained before are indispensable, but they are all men with wives and sons, and I have to rely on them for the first few short voyages." Lyle, who has been elevated, no longer has the same childlike posture as before, and he speaks with a little more courage, "But if even I don't have the confidence to come back on a long voyage, how can I use my military order to force them to take a great contribution to Dawu to take risks with me?" Therefore, I need a group of capable but hopeless people who do not accompany me on a trip to be sailors, or they will not have to die, or they will not live or die, and this is the reason why I will protect them in front of my lord. ”

By the way, it was Lyle's plan to keep these implicated, but not to make them sailors immediately, but to lock them up for a while to make them desperate.

“……！” There was life in the eyes of the prisoners.

"Okay, so what are we going to do if these guys commit crimes and rob warships one by one?" Gan Ning questioned, "Don't look at the main ship is so much bigger than the frigate, and being bombarded by a few cannons will be an instant death." ”

"There is no way to avoid this situation unless a large number of sailors are willing to risk their lives to gamble with me on a great fortune and outnumber them. Even if I use their families as hostages, I will still abandon them. Lyle smiled brightly.

“…… God, how many lifetimes of blood mold did I Gan Xingba pour before I met such a deadly boss. Gan Ning rubbed his temples.

Lyle turned around, faced the prisoners, and said loudly: "Out to sea, I am the regimental commander, he is the captain, and you are sailors, no longer prisoners!" I don't know if I can come back, I don't know when I will die on the sea, but I will protect you with a piece of freedom, and your family can also have their sentences commuted! If you want to go to sea with me and be a pirate, follow me! ”

》》》》》》》

Six years after the Battle of Chibi, the situation of confrontation between the north and the south has become a reality.

Sun Wu destroyed Liu Zhang and annexed Yizhou, Cao Wei destroyed Ma Teng and Han Sui and annexed Liangzhou, and there was no third force in the Han Dynasty. Due to the effectiveness of the Northern Expedition of Eastern Wu a few years ago, the territory at this moment is nearly three times that of Cao Wei, but the power of the newly acquired territory has not been digested, and the actual national strength is not so different.

Although Cao's army had already pulled out its artillery to fight back, the Wu army had more artillery and more experience in artillery, so how easy was it to counterattack? Theoretically, as long as the Wu army does not appear as a pig-like commander, and Sun Wu does not engage in rebellion and infighting, the person who has the last laugh will definitely be Sun Quan.

The future is bright, and some irrelevant things can finally be carried out-

"I didn't expect that the foolish words of the year would turn into reality so early." Watching the fleet flying the Flaming Skull Flag leave the port, Sun Quan couldn't help but sigh leisurely, "...... Gongjin, it's a pity that you left too early. ”

To be honest, he wasn't expecting results.

As he grew older, his ambitions faded, but this group of pirates was nothing to the mighty Koto, and it was nothing to let it go to sea to fulfill its promises.

"-Oh no, Madame sneaked on the boat with a few maids!" There was an exclamation behind him.

"............" Sun Quan was stunned, and then smiled bitterly.

No wonder my little sister didn't worry about her brother-in-law going to sea from the beginning, it turned out to be this kind of plan......
