Chapter 120: Breaking Through

"The overdraft is a bit serious, but it's not a big problem, and you can make up for it as long as you raise it for a few months. But the old man who is overdrawn in his mental power can't do anything. Xiangzi shook his head helplessly, "The old man has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has treated not a thousand but hundreds of patients, and it is the first time that he has seen such a serious mental overdraft, and he really doesn't take his life seriously." ”

Xiangzi was not brought by Huo, but came by himself.

Huo Dairen searched for Lingshou for a month and did not find Xiangzi, so he had no choice but to return, Zhao Kuo had no hope, but he didn't expect Xiangzi to appear outside the palace with two medicine boys a few days later.

After Zhao Kuo learned about it, he personally went to the outside of the palace to welcome Xiangzi in.

Although the status of doctors in this era is not high, it also depends on who the target is.

For the miracle doctor who can really cure diseases and save people, even the monarchs of various countries are very respectful.

After all, no one is going to have a hard time with their own lives, right?

"It's okay to heal the body, and the spirit can be talked about later." Zhao Kuo hurriedly said. He didn't expect Xiangzi to be able to heal the spirit, not to mention this era, even in the later generations where medicine is so developed, there is no way to take the spiritual field.

"That's all there is to it." Xiangzi nodded, took out nine silver needles from the medical box, and his fingers flew around, dazzling, "Whoosh!" "The silver needle instantly submerged into different acupuncture points.

Xiangzi kept plucking the silver needle, and as the silver needle kept trembling, the milky white light of the Dao emanated from the silver needle, and a peaceful breath nourished Lin Xiangru's body.

"The breath of talent!"

Zhao Kuo looked at Xiangzi in surprise, he didn't expect that a doctor would also have talent, but he was relieved to think that the other party was the descendant of Bian Que and the leader of the contemporary doctors, and his medical skills were even better than Song Zhen's.

Such a character seems to be abnormal if he has no talent.

"I've locked up the injury, it's not going to get worse, I'm not going to do anything for a while, I don't think about anything, and I'm almost back in a month or two." Xiangzi said as he wrote medicinal herbs on the wooden slab. "It's a medicinal herb."

Zhao Kuo hurriedly took it, glanced at it, and handed it to the guard beside him, who turned around to get the medicine.

"Dare to ask the old gentleman, if I cooperate with the treatment, how long can I live?" Lin Xiangru asked.

He made up his mind that if he was treated, he would only be able to live for one or two more years, and then he would not be treated, and now Zhao Guo was in crisis, and it was the time when he was needed, and recuperating at this time would have a great impact on Zhao Guo.

"Ten to fifteen years won't be a problem." Xiangzi said.

"Thank you, sir." Lin Xiangru breathed a sigh of relief, if he could live for ten years, it would still be worth it.

"I will let Xunzi help Lin Qing deal with government affairs, Lin Qing can cultivate with peace of mind, and Zhao Guo will still need you in the future." Zhao Kuo said with relief.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Xiangru said with his fists clenched, and couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart.

"Lin Qing will trouble the old gentleman, I have already sent someone to prepare the house for the old gentleman, and the old gentleman can live in peace of mind." Zhao Kuo saluted Xiangzi, and then made a gesture of please.

"Well, thank you Zhao Jun." Xiangzi nodded, and came to the courtyard with Zhao Kuo.

"This king has built a college outside Handan City, and wants to invite Mr. to serve as a sacrificial wine, I wonder if Mr. can agree?" Zhao Kuo leaned over and said.

"The old man can only heal diseases, and he won't do any sacrificial wine." Xiangzi shook his head.

He was not interested in the so-called sacrificial wine, nor was he interested in fame and fortune. Otherwise, with his medical skills, he will be regarded as a guest in any country, so why walk the rivers and lakes to see a doctor for ordinary people. You must know that he often does not charge money for medical treatment for ordinary people, and even has to pay for medicine.

"You don't need to do anything else, just teach people to heal, if the old gentleman is willing, you can also set up a stall at the entrance of the academy for the people to see a doctor, this king will not stop it."

"The old gentleman walks the rivers and lakes alone, even if the medical skills are very skillful, the people who can be treated are limited, if the medical skills are promoted to the world, you can heal thousands of people, this is a great merit." Zhao Kuo said.

The sages of this era did not refuse to teach their scholarship or skills to others. However, if many people do not meet a suitable disciple, they would rather take it to the coffin than pass it on to future generations, and in the end they can only lose it, which has to be said to be a pity.

"The king wants to promote my doctor's skills?" Xiangzi looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise.

In these years, some people attach importance to Confucianism, some people attach importance to Legalism, some people attach importance to Mohists, some people attach importance to soldiers, and no one has ever attached importance to doctors.

"Yes, this king wants to ask Mr. to serve as a sacrificial wine for the medical school of Handan University, teach the world medicine, and carry forward medicine." Zhao Kuo said solemnly.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was the enlightenment period of traditional Chinese medicine, and it was also the period of the fastest development, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, looking, hearing, asking, cutting, etc., all of which originated from this period, and then rapidly developed into the world's most advanced medicine.

In later generations, Chinese medicine was almost eliminated by Western medicine, not because Chinese medicine was inferior to Western medicine, but because Chinese medicine was no longer suitable for that materialistic and fast-paced society.

When a TCM practitioner needs to study for more than ten years, or even decades, before he can really become a teacher, and the salary before he is a teacher is not as high as that of the factory screw.

When a Chinese medicine practitioner was scolded for not being able to cure the disease, he was cured but was said to be a blind cat and touched a dead mouse.

When a person proudly claims to be a Chinese medicine practitioner, but is scolded by countless people and said that he is a liar.

What does it rely on to inherit the quintessence of the country?

By mouth?

This world is never survival of the fittest, but it must be the survival of the fittest.

Those who are not fit can only be eliminated!

Therefore, Chinese medicine was like the hundred schools of thought after the dethronement of Confucianism, and it was thrown into a corner.

Is it that the hundred schools of thought are backward from Confucianism? Is it that the hundred schools of thought are inferior to Confucianism?

No!

It's just that the rulers need a tool, and this tool is not theirs!

So, over time, layers of dust buried them, until thousands of years later, when later generations cleaned the room, they were found from the corner.

It turns out that there is still Chinese medicine!

It turns out that there are hundreds of schools of thought that have existed!

Not only that, but this king also intends to gather all the physicians of Zhao to compile a medical masterpiece for posterity. All physicians involved in the compilation were able to leave their names on the medical book. This king originally wanted to ask Mr. Song Zhen to be the chief writer, but Mr. Song strongly recommended you. ”

The road to hegemony is not just about fighting and killing, Zhao Kuo will eventually leave some wealth for future generations.

Even if traditional Chinese medicine is eliminated in the future, Zhao Kuo can proudly say: "It once stood at the top of the world's medicine." ”

"Teacher." The medicine boy behind him tugged at the sleeve of Xiangzi and whispered.

"Okay, the old man promised to stay in Handan."

……

"Your Majesty, the reward and the letter have all been handed out." As soon as Zhao Kuo returned to the palace, Yu Xin and Touch Long rushed over.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the point, and all the rewards and letters must be delivered safely to the home of every soldier, and not a grain of rice or a letter shall be missing." Zhao Kuo admonished.

Considering that it might take another month or two for the soldiers to return home, Zhao Kuo ordered all the soldiers to write a letter to their families and send it to the soldiers' homes along with the reward.

"Don't worry, my lord, the minister will keep an eye on it himself." Yu Xin arched his hand and said.

"Hmm." Zhao Kuo nodded, he still believed Yu Xin.

And although Yu Xin is about the same age as Lin Xiangru, his body is extremely tough, and it will not be a problem for Zhao to shine for decades.

"Great King, the five kingdoms of Qin, Han, Wei, Qi, and Yan have formed an alliance and sent troops." At this time, Liu Ping grabbed the information and rushed in from outside.

"Didn't Chu Guo come?" Zhao Kuo was not surprised by the alliance of the five kingdoms of Qin, Han, Wei, Qi, and Yan, but he was a little surprised that the state of Chu did not join.

"There are rebellions in East and South Vietnam in the state of Chu, and the king of Chu is sending troops to suppress them, so he has no time to take care of our country." Liu Ping said.

"This is a good thing for me Zhao Guo." Zhao Kuo said happily, "Immediately convene everyone to discuss the matter." ”

"No."

Soon, all the officials in Handan rushed to the main hall.

Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice: "There is an urgent report from the front line, Qin, Han, Wei, Qi, and Yan have formed an alliance, with Wei as the leader of the alliance. The state of Qin took Wu Anjun Bai Qi as his general and sent 100,000 troops. South Korea sent 100,000 troops with Tyrant Kite as its general, and Wei sent 100,000 troops with Jin Contempt as its general. ”

"Yan Guo took Xiangguo as his general and sent 250,000 troops. The state of Qi took the clan Tian Sheng as the general and sent 250,000 troops. The five countries have a total of 800,000 troops to crusade against our Zhao State. Counting the time, it's time to arrive at our border. I wonder what you think? ”

Although he had been prepared, but when he learned that the five countries had dispatched 800,000 allied troops, Zhao Kuo's heart was still tight, in addition to the army guarding the Great Wall in the north, Zhao Guo could only move less than 300,000 troops!

"This is a catastrophe for my Zhao country, but it is also an opportunity. If we can defeat the Five Kingdoms, there will be no country in the world in the future that is the opponent of my Zhao Kingdom. Zhao Bao said with some excitement.

"Are the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Qin united or separated?" Le Yi immediately asked.

Bai Qi commanded the 300,000 army of the Three Kingdoms, and Bai Qi commanded 100,000, the violent kite commanded 100,000, and the Jin contempt commanded 100,000 are two completely different concepts.

"I don't know yet." Liu Ping shook his head.

"Report, report to the party." At this time, the guard led a soldier to walk in quickly from outside the main hall, and when he saw Zhao Kuo, the soldier hurriedly knelt on one knee and reported.

"Read." Zhao Kuo said.

"Qin Guobai commanded an army of 100,000 to re-attack Shangdang and asked for support. - Shangdang guards Feng Ting. The soldier read.

No anti-theft

"It seems that the Qin State has not merged with Han Wei." Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief.

If Bai Qi commanded an army of 300,000 to attack Zhao from Hanoi, then Zhao had only one way to exchange space for time, and this method was not necessarily effective, because Yan was still attacking from behind.

Now there is no unity of arms, and it is still easy to defend and difficult to attack the Shangdang, which is a good thing for Zhao Guo.

"It seems that Han and Wei don't believe in the Qin State." Tian Dan said with a smile.

"If Qin Guojiu can't attack the party, it is very likely that he will turn around and attack the east of Wei Hedong, I think it is necessary for us to remind Wei that although Wei has violated the alliance between the two countries, we Zhao are not people who hold grudges." Wei Qi tapped his fingers on the table and said meaningfully.

When Tian Dan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found a like-minded friend, nodded and said, "Good idea!" ”

"It is a good thing for my Zhao State that the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han are not united, but after all, the five countries together have an army of 800,000, and I am afraid it will still be a little difficult for my Zhao State to defeat." Touching the dragon was very worried in his heart, he had never seen such a big battle, that is, the six countries were fighting Qi back then, and there were no 800,000 troops combined!

"What do you guys think?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"The minister suggested that the troops should be divided into four ways, three ways to defend, all the way to attack, and each one to break through." Le Yi said.

"Which country to attack first?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"Yan Guo. The strength of the Yan State is the weakest, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is also the weakest, although there are 250,000 troops, but the actual combat strength may not even be as good as the 100,000 troops of the Qin State, which is the easiest of the five countries to defeat. ”

Le Yi pointed to the map and said, he didn't have the slightest mercy on this old club, and he came up to expose the weaknesses of Yan Guo.

"After defeating the Yan State, he immediately led his army south and joined forces to attack the Qi State. As long as the Yan State and the Qi State are defeated, the other three countries will naturally retreat. ”

"Who is willing to support the Shangdang and resist the Qin army?" Zhao Kuo asked in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping over everyone's faces.

Every time it swept on a person, that person unconsciously lowered his head.

Everyone knows that although the Qin army is only 100,000, the main general is slaughtered in vain!

No one dares to guarantee that they will be able to stop Bai Qi.

"I want to go." Just when Zhao Kuo was about to order, Le Yi stood up and said with his fists clenched.

"How many troops do you need?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"Thirty thousand is enough." Le Yi said solemnly.

Le Yi felt that it was impossible for the Qin State to desperately attack the Shangdang, and coupled with the terrain advantage, 30,000 was enough to block the Qin army.

"Okay." Zhao Kuo said loudly, "Who is willing to support Yecheng and defend the Han and Wei coalition forces?" ”

"I want to go." Tian Dan immediately got up and said.

If he doesn't lead the troops anymore, he will go to the Qi State, and if no one asks for his life at that time, Zhao Kuo is likely to let him resist the Qi State. Although Tian Dan had decided to sincerely join the Zhao State, he was still unwilling to be an enemy of the Qi State.

"How many troops does Du Pingjun need?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"Thirty thousand." Tian Dan reported the same number as Le Yi.

"There are 200,000 Han and Wei coalition troops." Zhao Kuo reminded.

"The combat effectiveness of the Han and Wei coalition forces is not as good as that of the Qin army, and there is a strong city of Yecheng, 30,000 is enough." Tian Dan said confidently.

"General Lian Po is willing to resist the Qi army." Finally, Zhao Kuo looked at Lian Po.

"I want to go." Lian Po said with his fists clenched.

"Okay, since this is the case, then Wang Zhujun will lead an army of 30,000 to support Shangdang. Du Pingjun led an army of 30,000 to support Yecheng and defend the Han and Wei coalition forces. General Lian Po led an army of 70,000 to resist the Qi army. The rest of the generals, together with the king, led the remaining 100,000 troops to attack the Yan Kingdom. Zhao Kuo ordered.

"No." All the generals said in unison.

"Grain and grass will trouble you. In addition, during the expedition, all affairs in the rear can be discussed and handled, and if there is a dispute, Yu Qing's opinion is the main one. Zhao Kuo bowed to the rest of the ministers.

"The ministers receive orders." Yu Xin and others returned the salute.
