Chapter 43 Medicine to Cure the Disease

Xu Chu and Zhao Yun fought seventy or eighty battles, still regardless of victory or defeat, Cao Cao saw that Xu Chu always defended less and attacked more, worried that he would lose, and Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Zhao Yun also retreated to his own formation, this was the first time Liu Qi saw him sweating profusely, and he didn't blush or pant when he came back from the previous fight.

"This big fat guy is kind of interesting!" Gan Ning pouted and was eager to try.

Liu Qi said: "Xu Chu's courage is no less than Dian Wei, and he should not be underestimated when he encounters it in the future." ”

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "It's Dian Wei, I'll fight too, let me fight again!" ”

Liu Qi nodded slightly, Zhang Fei hit his horse and shouted: "Yanren Zhang Yide is here, who dares to fight to the death?" ”

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Fei and saw that his voice was like a huge thunder, like a galloping horse, and sighed: "I once heard the long words of the clouds: Yide is in a million army, and he takes the head of the general, like a bag to take things. This person's courage is not inferior to Guan Yu, and he can't fight! ”

Cao Cao's army was shaken, no one answered, Cao Cao sighed secretly, collected his troops and returned to the camp.

Looking at the ups and downs of the surrounding mountains, recalling the scene of the expedition to Wancheng back then, Yang Tian sighed: "If Dian Wei is here, why be afraid of Guan Zhang?" ”

The men and horses returned to the camp, and Cao Cao discussed with Xun You and Cheng Yu on a strategy to break the enemy. Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said: "Zhao Fan is timid and does not dare to raise troops, Sun Quan waits and sees across the river, and has the intention to sit and reap the profits, once Liu Qi's army is defeated, Jingzhou will be in chaos." ”

Xun You nodded and said: "Sun Quan does not send troops, but Liu Qi and I can fight with all our might, and Zhou Yu will control the water army of 100,000 in Chaisang, and when Jingzhou's troops are exhausted, he can go up the river and calmly take all parts of the river." ”

Cao Cao patted the case and said angrily: "Blue-eyed An dares to take advantage of me? ”

Xun You said with a smile: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, although Dongwu has the solidity of the river, it can only guard the land south of the Yangtze River. ”

"Gongda's words are extremely true!" Cao Cao laughed and said: "When I defeat Liu Qi, take Jingzhou, and go down to Jiangdong, Sun Quan is not enough to worry about!" ”

Xun You said: "Liu Qi has Liu Bei's civil and military skills, and there are Jingzhou soldiers and horses, his momentum has been achieved, and he is invincible, so he should use a plan to break it." ”

Speaking of the countermeasures in front of them, the three of them were at a loss, Liu Qi occupied a favorable position, and there was another Zhao Yun about Zhang Shouying, who had enough food and soldiers, and it seemed that there were no flaws, so they could only wait for the opportunity.

For two days in a row, Cao Cao couldn't think about countermeasures, Cao Cao had another head attack, and he was in pain in the tent.

In the evening, Cao Chun suddenly came overjoyed and said: "Prime Minister, I have visited an immortal who has a panacea, which can protect the medicine until the disease is eliminated, far better than Hua Tuo." ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao sat up with a headache and ordered him to be brought in.

I saw a crane-haired and childish-faced, clear-faced old Taoist walked in, the robe was slightly shabby, the gourd wooden sword was on his back, and he was holding a dust, a little cynical.

Lao Dao made a joke: "Lujiang Zuoci see the prime minister." ”

Cao Cao looked at the visitor and asked, "What elixir do you have, which can cure head diseases?" ”

Zuo Ci said with a smile: "The poor way to refine the pill in the mountains can only cure the diseases of the people, the prime minister is noble, and the pill is useless." ”

Cao Cao's face suddenly sank, Cao Chun was shocked and angry, pointed at Zuo Cili and shouted: "You just said that you can cure it, why did you change your words?" ”

Zuo Ci stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The prime minister's illness cannot be cured with pills, and it needs to be slowly eliminated by taking five stones." ”

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly: "What is Wushi San?" ”

Zuo Ciyan said: "This recipe is passed down from ancient Qin, and is made of dansha, realgar, alum, Zeng Qing, and Cishi. ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he leaned forward and asked, "Does it have a miraculous effect?" ”

Zuo Ci nodded and said: "Three doses can be effective, but the refining of this medicine is extremely time-consuming, and the ratio will fail if it is slightly careless, so the price is ......."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "If you can cure the disease and strengthen your body, it is not a pity to have a thousand gold." ”

Zuo Ci shook his head and said: "The poor Tao is a person who is an outsider, what is the use of asking for money?" If you can use this medicine to exchange for a promise, it will be enough! ”

Cao Cao said: "Let's hear it." ”

Zuo Ciyan said: "The appearance of the prime minister of the poor Taoist view, there has been a disaster of fire and water recently, the south is a fire, and the prime minister should not move troops to the south, it is better to leave early." ”

"Bold!" Cao Cao was furious, and shouted: "My military aircraft is a big event, how can you allow you to talk nonsense?" Aren't you here to be a lobbyist for Liu Qi? ”

Zuo Ci sighed: "Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the world has been in turmoil, and the lives of Kyushu have been ruined, only Jingzhou has a pure land, and the prime minister assists the Son of Heaven, and benevolence should be the ......."

"Presumptuous!" Cao Cao interrupted Zuo Ci and said in a deep voice: "If you break into the military camp to be a lobbyist in the name of curing your illness, do you know that my military law is ruthless?" ”

Cao Chun drew his sword and shouted: "Old Dao, you dare to play tricks on the general, you really don't know whether you live or die." ”

"It is true that the poor are cured, and it is also true that they are face-to-face......"

Zuo Ci shook his head helplessly, took out the pouch from his back, took out a yellow cloth bag, and said: "There are five pairs of Wushi powder here, and the prime minister takes three pairs, and the head disease heals himself. ”

Cao Chun opened the package and saw five small paper packets inside, which contained golden powder and a faint medicinal smell.

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the paper bag and muttered for a moment, and ordered: "Please ask the Taoist chief to take a dose first!" ”

Zuo Ci hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, this medicine is priceless, how can it be wasted?" Poor roads don't need to be ......"

Cao Chun had already understood, and Zuo Ci had just spoken wildly, and he was angry, so he immediately asked someone to grab Zuo Ci, forcibly pour down the packet of medicinal powder, and take it to the tent next to him to rest.

After dark, Cao Chun came to report that Zuo Ci's face was ruddy, and he couldn't even get drunk after drinking a jar of wine.

Cao Cao then asked, "Where did Zihe get this person from?" ”

"Zuo Ci is actually recommended by He Yan!" Cao Chun replied truthfully: "Zuo Ci is his teacher, and He Yan's illness is cured by taking five stones!" I heard that the prime minister had a seizure, and Hua Tuo was not in the city, so he secretly recommended it to me. ”

"Wu'er has a bit of filial piety!" Cao Cao finally showed a smile, rubbed his head that was as painful as a needle prick, and motioned for Cao Chun to take a pair.

He Yan is the grandson of the general He Jin, his father died early, Cao Cao accepted his mother Yin as a concubine, adopted He Yan, and married his daughter to him when she became an adult.

He Yan is intelligent, but does not treat the classics, likes the study of Lao Zhuang, because of his addiction to sound and lust and poor health, although his daughter has sued many times, Cao Cao does not care, but because of his peers, he is very fond of him.

After Cao Cao took the medicine, he lay on the bed for a quarter of an hour, and felt that his body began to heat up, spreading from his chest to his limbs.

Not only the headache has been greatly reduced, but even the backache has disappeared, especially the abdomen is hot, and it spreads to the perineum acupoint, like a spring breeze, and there is a faint tendency to erect.

Half an hour later, Cao Cao was sweating profusely, and when he looked down, the quilt between his legs bulged like a tent, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.

Shaking his head again, although he still had a faint pain, he was no longer uncomfortable, and he got up and laughed: "The fruit is an immortal medicine, there is Zuo Ci, why Hua Tuo?" ”

Cao Chun entered the account when he heard the voice, and saw that Cao Cao was also ruddy and radiant, and said in surprise: "Congratulations to the prime minister!" ”

Cao Cao wiped his sweat and said with a smug smile: "Find two prostitutes tomorrow!" ”
