Dongchuan, Qinling Mountains.

When night came, one of Cao Wei's scouts galloped on the mountain road, and he galloped for several days and nights, and finally arrived at Hanzhong City.

He dismounted at the city gate, stumbled forward, and shouted as he displayed the token of General Xiangfan Caoren.

"Xiangfan urgent, Xiangfan... Xiangfan 600 miles is in a hurry to report to the prime minister! Open the door—"

The guards upstairs whispered, and the door slowly opened with a harsh sound.

The scout mounted his horse and leaped past, and the sound of horses' hooves woke up the dark night.

——In the twentieth year of Jian'an, on September 22, Cao Chun led the tigers and leopards to ride to Jiangxia, and 5,000 tigers and leopards rode in the ambush, most of which were buried in the sunset valley of Jiangxia.

——In the twentieth year of Jian'an, on September 24, Cao Chun crawled out of the pile of dead people, climbed over the mountains, and withdrew to Xiangyang City, and on the same night, he was stabbed to death, and Cao Ren, the general of Xiangfan Celestials, was also assassinated and fainted.

For a time, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Guo Huai and others all gathered in the outer hall of Cao Cao's bedroom.

Among the strategists, Cheng Yu rubbed his hands anxiously, and several Cao clan relatives were whispering.

Cao Xiu sighed with emotion: "Uncle Zixiao has always been steady, and he has been guarding Xiangfan for several years, so that Guan Yu can't advance an inch, how can this time, the prime minister just sent Zi and Uncle and the tiger and leopard to ride to help, and they all met in the sunset valley?" Still... Or both assassinated? One dies and one faints. ”

Cao Hong frowned, "This thing is too weird, Xiangyang Realm?" Who can stab them both? ”

Cao Zhen reminded in a whisper: "Could it be because Uncle Zixiao and Uncle Zihe are at odds?" That's why... Self-phase..."

"Impossible!" Xiahou Yuan's words seemed to be a coffin closure, "As the children of the Qian Pei Cao clan and the Xiahou clan, how can you not know the priorities and which is more important?" ”

Speaking of this, Xiahou Yuan looked at Cheng Yu, "Why didn't Mr. Cheng say a word?" ”

Cheng Yu shook his head, "Cheng really can't figure it out, I can't figure out how General Zixiao was assassinated and fainted, and how General Zihe was assassinated, maybe the truth in the middle is only known to Manfujun, hasn't Manfujun's secret document been handed over to General Xu Chu?" I'm waiting... Be patient! ”

"What about the prime minister? Why has it been a long time since I was born, and I haven't come out yet? Xu Huang on the side hurriedly asked...

Cheng Yu looked at his nose and nose, and replied softly: "Don't you hear that the prime minister killed people in his dream?" He fell asleep, who would dare to call? ”

This...

Xu Huang's face was extremely complicated, as Guan Yu's fellow countryman, he knew too well... Cao Ren's fainting and Cao Chun's death, how much chance will it bring to Guan Yu, and how much impact will it have on Xiangfan?

And this impact...

Even, it will have a pervasive impact on Hanzhong and the prime minister's plan to go south to Bashu.

"Ugh..."

Thinking of this, Xu Huang couldn't help but let out a long sigh, Zhang He seemed to see through his thoughts, pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "Gongming thinks... Will the prime minister give up Bashu and return to Xiangfan, right? ”

Xu Huang raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang He, and muttered for a long time before he said softly: "The prime minister secretly instructed you and me to go south to Ba Shu at any time, and now I have been preparing for so long!" I have a feeling that if I don't go south this time... I'm afraid that in the future, there will never be such a good opportunity. ”

Call...

Zhang He also exhaled with deep regret.

He seems to be a little more transparent:

"——Compared to Bashu, Xiangfan... There is no room for error! ”

…

At night, in Cao Cao's bedroom, an unextinguished oil lamp flickered, and Cao Cao's eyebrows were reflected in the hazy shadow.

For some reason, he slept uncomfortably and restlessly that night.

Apparently having a nightmare, Xu Chu quietly walked in, stood beside him, and was thinking about how to wake him up.

But Cao Cao exclaimed violently.

"Zihe, Zihe!"

He sat up suddenly, grabbed his hands wildly, and kept shouting: "Zihe, Zihe!" ”

Xu Chu hurriedly went to support Cao Cao, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister?" What happened to you? ”

Cao Cao covered his head and screamed miserably, "My head, my head hurts so much, I dreamed... I dreamed that Zihe died, Zihe's body was full of thorns, he was pierced through his heart by poisonous needles and died, Zihe died so miserably. ”

This...

Xu Chu pondered for a while, he hesitated whether to tell Prime Minister Xiangfan's urgency, but after hesitating again and again, he still told the truth truthfully, "Prime Minister, General Zihe was assassinated in Xiangyang City, and General Zixiao was also assassinated and unconscious!" ”

"-Boom".

Cao Cao's heart "chuckled"!

His hand, which was desperately clutching his head, stopped in an instant.

His head, which was almost about to crack, also seemed to stop the pain for a short time because of surprise.

Cao Cao's tiger eyes were round and huge, and he looked at Xu Chu in horror.

"Guy... What did you say? ”

"The son and the general met... was assassinated, and General Zixiao also... Also assassinated and unconscious! This is Xiangfan... An urgent report just delivered. It was the iron-clad Xu Chu, and his words became stumbling at this moment.

Silence followed.

It was a suffocating silence.

Ten breaths, twenty breaths, thirty breaths...

Fifty breaths, one hundred breaths!

For a hundred breaths, Cao Cao pushed away the bamboo slips and case slips at the head of the bed, he staggered to his feet, and he waved his hand desperately.

Drink wildly in your mouth.

"The lonely son and the lonely tiger and leopard are invincible in the world!"

"Zixiao is the first general of my Cao army, let him attack, he destroys the city and pulls out the village, let him defend, he is solid, not to mention... Solitary... Lone specially sent Manfu Jun to assist Yu Zixiao, Lone in Xiangyang and Lu Chang, Wen Ping, Zhao Yan, Niu Jin, how could Zihe and Zixiao be assassinated! ”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible—"

"Nope! Can! Yes! ”

Cao Cao's words were hoarse, and for a while, the entire mansion was filled with Cao Cao's roar like a flood bell and a big lu.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible—"

…

…

——Jiangling controls the key road of Bakui, connects the upper reaches of Xianghan, takes the rivers and lakes, and refers to Wu Yue.

It can be seen that Gangneung City extends in all directions.

And starting from Jiangling, because the waterway was unblocked, Yang Yi arrived in Bashu after only ten days and nights.

Of course, it's not easy to walk by land...

Yang Yi rode two fast horses.

Finally... I came back tonight, back to Chengdu.

At this time, although it was already night, Yang Yi still rushed to Zhuge Junshi's mansion as soon as possible...

But when I entered the door, I ran into Ma Jian who was going out.

Seeing Yang Yi, Ma Jian was a little surprised, "How did Yang Shangshu come back so quickly?" ”

When he blurted out these words, Ma Jian suddenly remembered something, and he made a look of sudden realization, "I know... It must be Yang Shangshu who thinks... The fourth prince of Naguan is mediocre, just an ordinary gentleman, except for disobedience to his father and disrespect for filial piety, he has no strength, so he took the test casually, and then came back......"

Ma Yan blinked his eyes, and he took a step closer to Yang Yi, "Yang Shangshu? What am I saying and no? ”

Hehe...

In the face of Ma Tan's inquiry, Yang Yi didn't say a word, he just smiled, which was a perfunctory response to Ma Tan, and he himself walked towards Zhuge Mansion.

In his opinion.

This time, Ma Jian was completely blinded.

Guan Lin Guan Yunqi, although... It's true to disobey my father, but... The so-called gentlemen are serious.

Dude? Can you make artifacts like a repeater, a side car, and a wooden ox and a flowing horse?

And can the children of the gentlemen use these ordnance to set up a bureau?

Do you turn the troupes of Dongwu, Jiaozhou, and Cao Wei around, so that the Wei spies who dug out Jiangling City and introduced the tiger and leopard riders into Sunset Valley to wipe them out?

Because Yang Yi came back early, he didn't know that Cao Ren and Cao Chun were shot by the hidden weapon hidden in the repeater by chance.

I don't even know that now the generals of Cao Wei in Xiangyang City are dying.

But even so, Yang Yi's evaluation of Guan Lin is still not low.

- Although this son is contrary to filial piety, he is still a rare talent.

-- We should be good at guiding and entrusting us with important tasks.

With this in mind, Yang Yi just left.

Can... The more he didn't speak, the more energetic Ma Jian became, he blinked his eyes, and said while following Yang Yi.

"I heard that during Yang Shangshu's trip to Jingzhou, this fourth prince of Guan was not very obedient, and he quarreled with his father twice, almost tense... Even the three exam questions issued by Zhuge Junshi, Guan Gong repeatedly forced him to change them, but this kid... Hehe, but he didn't move a word, and presented the random and perfunctory answer sheet as usual, which simply made Guan Gong angry. ”

This...

Hearing Ma Jian say this, Yang Yi was still a little surprised, he paused and asked Ma Jian rhetorically.

"How does the young elder know this?"

Ma Tan smiled, "Yang Shangshu don't forget, I'm from Jingzhou!" I also have four older brothers in Gangneung... And there will be no eyes for me? How can you not see the rebellious act of Guan Lin and Guan Yunqi, the 'rebel son'? ”

Speaking of this, Ma Jian let out a sneer, "Hehe... I'll just say, it's not just any cat or dog who can be a disciple of Zhuge Junshi... Guan Sigongzi is afraid that he will not have this blessing in his life! ”

He's quite embarrassed...

In his opinion, he Ma Jian is the only disciple of Zhuge Junshi! Closed disciples!

The rest of the people are unlikely to be favored by Zhuge Junshi.

Rather... Yang Yi didn't want to hear him say this, so he just strode forward, but the more silent he was, Ma Jian followed him, asking long and short questions... The topic is inseparable from Guan Lin's body.

Yang Yi's footsteps paused...

Ma Jian also stopped, and hurriedly asked, "What did Yang Shangshu remember?" ”

"Nope." Yang Yi replied lightly: "I'm thinking, if the young elder goes with me to report to Zhuge Junshi, anyway... What you see and hear in Jingzhou, you Ma Youchang is also very clear. ”

Belch...

Ma Jian was stunned for a moment, he could hear that this was the opposite, and immediately... Don't dare to follow Yang Yi anymore.

Yang Yi glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and strode into the courtyard of Zhuge Liang's study.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang was in the study, writing a reply letter with a pen.

A line of small characters is written on the outside of the bamboo slip - "Wu Changshi, Zhong Sima Zhuge Jin personally opened." ”

The text reads:

- "The elder brother is above, the eldest brother is like a father, please be bowed by the younger brother." ”

- "The younger sister-in-law Huang, who became a husband and wife in Longzhong, has a wide range of talents, and is a fisherman and a farmer. It's a pity that since the thirteenth year of Jian'an, my brother has been busy with the great cause, and he didn't even have time to say a few words to her despite the night, even in Dongwu, Jingnan, Yizhou, and Hanzhong.

- "She stays at home alone, takes care of household affairs, cultivates and weaves, she has a husband as if she has no husband, she can't be a mother, the world only knows that she is smart, but she doesn't know how bitter she is?" ”

- "Finally won my brother's pity, my brother asked my brother for a son, my brother reported to Lord Wu, sent a letter back, my brother knew that my brother wanted to pass on 'Lantian Meiyu' to my brother, that is my brother's eldest son, a son who became famous at a young age, and also my brother's flesh and blood..."

It was as if Zhuge Liang had received a reply from Zhuge Jin.

learned that Zhuge Jin had obtained the consent of Wu Hou and wanted to take Zhuge Ke to Jingzhou and pass it on to him.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang wrote a reply letter to his brother at night.

Ma Jian was there, Zhuge Liang talked to him about government affairs, but he didn't have time to write, as soon as Ma Tan left, Zhuge Liang started to write.

I never thought...

While thinking, he looked up inadvertently, and through the window, Zhuge Liang saw Yang Yi.

He hurriedly put down the pen and ink in his hand and walked quickly to greet him.

"-Wei Gong is back?"

"It's been a lot of work so fast."

"Don't dare!" Yang Yi respectfully saluted Zhuge Liang. "Shouldering the burden of a military advisor, I just arrived in Chengdu, and I didn't dare to rest, so I came directly to the military advisor's mansion to disturb me."

"Do you need to be so polite?" Zhuge Liang led Yang Yi into the house... He personally poured tea for Yang Yi, and hurriedly asked: "As soon as Wei Gong came back, he was so anxious to see me, and he wanted to come... If you go to Jingnan, you will definitely have something to gain. ”

Yang Yi hurriedly took out Guan Lin's three answer sheets.

These Zhuge Liang were not surprised, but the handwritten letterhead of Guan Yu taken out of Yang Yi's arms made Zhuge Liang's eyes light up.

He didn't expect...

Yun Chang will send the letterhead along with the answer sheet, this is not like him!

At least in Zhuge Liang's experience world, Guan Yu can't do such a thing.

As for this letter... When Yang Yi was leaving, Guan Yu specially asked him to hand it over to Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu didn't say much, but Yang Yi understood, everything was in plain sight!

Of course, it didn't take long for Guan Yu to send Zhou Cang to chase after him.

Zhou Cang is not good at riding, so he sent someone else...

It's just that this Jiangling to Bashu, dozens of counties and counties along the way... Can you catch up and find it from the vast sea of people?

Naturally, Guan Yu's handwritten letter was not recovered.

At this moment, Yang Yi's tone was quite excited.

"——Zhuge Military Division, Rong Xiaguan said bluntly, this time I went to Jingzhou, not only to gain something, but also... Surprise! It was a huge surprise, but at the same time, this surprise... It's also a fright! ”

As he spoke, Yang Yi presented the three answer sheets to Zhuge Liang along with Guan Yu's letter.

Zhuge Liang showed a faint and almost invisible smile, and said softly while taking the answer sheet, especially Guan Yu's letter.

"——Let Yun Chang send a letter at this time, and make Wei Gong both surprised and frightened, it seems... This must be extraordinary! ”

This son naturally refers to Guan Lin.

As for... The words in Zhuge Liang's mouth are extraordinary, and soon, he will feel that this evaluation is still too naïve and too hasty!

…

…

Changsha County, on the bank of the Laodao River and next to Luohan Village.

It was a night that was destined to never sleep.

Throughout Zhangjiazhuang, there were soft sobs everywhere.

Wang Shuhe, Du Du, and Wei Xun were still kneeling outside Zhang Zhongjing's house.

Diao Chan was beside the bed, taking care of his father-in-law carefully.

It seems that crying is too easy to consume people's strength, and unconsciously, in the second half of the night, Diao Chan actually ... She fell asleep in a daze, to be precise, she didn't fall asleep, just lay down for a while.

Outside the door, Zhang Zhongjing's three disciples, their heads also drooping to the side.

Crying has always been a physical job.

This night, Diao Chan slept grogily, and suddenly, a voice said: "Hongchang, there is... Is there water? ”

“……”

Diao Chan didn't react yet, she subconsciously thought that she was too reluctant to give up her father-in-law, and it was the voice that her father-in-law made to him in his dream.

When he was confused, Diao Chan hurriedly rubbed his eyes.

But all of a sudden... She felt something tugging at her clothes.

"Water, water..."

“……”

Diao Chan came back to his senses at this time, it was... Be... It is the voice of the Father-in-law.

Diao Chan thinks it's too unreal...

But the news from outside the house... The snoring of the eldest disciple Wang Shuhe, but... But it's so clear.

"The lamp... lights..."

Diao Chan shouted loudly, the light in the room was too dark, and she couldn't tell if Fang Cai's voice was a hallucination?

Wang Shuhe, Du Du, and Wei Xun were asleep, and when they heard the voice of their senior sister, the three of them jumped up almost at the same time.

The tense nerves made them subconsciously think that the master... I thought he was out of gas.

Uncle Wang hurriedly took the fire fold and went to light the candle...

With the candle flame, Diao Chan saw Zhang Zhongjing's face.

The face is obviously waxy yellow, yes, it is sallow, not the original white as paper.

What's even more surprising is that the master turned out... It turned out to be with his eyes open, neither heavy breathing nor showing any pain.

On the contrary, his expression is calm, peaceful, indifferent, kind...

It seems that it has nothing to do with the words "about to die" all of a sudden.

"Master..."

Wang Shuhe was stunned, out of the instinct of a doctor, he subconsciously touched Zhang Zhongjing's forehead, on his forehead... It's cold, it's cold.

Wang Shuhe's eyes showed surprise in an instant, and the high fever that had lasted for several days subsided...

Miraculously retired?

He hurriedly went to touch the master's pulse again...

And as the index finger and middle finger pressed against the pulse, Wang Shuhe's face changed from surprise to surprise and disbelief.

"Division... The master's illness has eased, and his pulse is very stable... It's stable... This is... This is moving in a good direction. ”

"I..." Zhang Zhongjing was able to support himself with his own strength, and he sat up.

He is a healer, and the changes in his own body...

He couldn't have known better.

He could feel that although the so-called "severe typhoid fever" may not be cured, but... However, the feedback from the viscera is positive.

This feeling is like the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys... The internal organs and six organs are born of each other, stirring up a warm air current...

Spread throughout the body.

The warmth of the body is like constantly nourishing new "soil" to bury everything that rots in the body...

Zhang Zhongjing can be sure.

Well, he's been a big deal.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law..."

"Master..."

Diao Chan and the three disciples all cried with joy.

Zhang Zhongjing showed the rigor of a doctor, "Quickly take the pen and record the prescriptions you prescribe... This prescription may be able to... may be able to save hundreds of Li Shu in the world. ”

Hear the master's coherent and powerful words.

Wei Xun couldn't help himself, "Master, you don't need to remember it at all... The prescription is... Yes..."

Without waiting for Wei Xun to finish speaking, Du Du covered his mouth and hurriedly persuaded: "Master's condition has improved, and he should recuperate... It is not too late to inform the master of this special medicine after he has completely recovered..."

This...

Zhang Zhongjing suddenly understood, it must be where these two disciples found a good prescription.

"I'm all right!"

Zhang Zhongjing's eyes opened, he went directly to the ground, stood firmly on the ground, he tried to walk a few steps left and right... Although my legs and feet are a little stiff because of the long bed rest.

But... Undoubtedly, he felt a lot more strength in his body.

Zhang Zhongjing immediately took a pen and a general outline of "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", and he sat down at the table.

"What is the prescription, tell me quickly... As a teacher, it should be recorded in the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", so that it can benefit the world. ”

"And where did you get this prescription? Which holy hand is the famous doctor... Can you find a way to help the world? ”

This...

Wei Xun and Du Du glanced at each other, but Wei Xun opened his mouth.

"This prescription... Actually, it's from a medical book, as for... Where did this prescription come from, and it was... It's Guan Sigongzi! ”

- Guan Sigongzi?

Zhang Zhongjing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, he felt that this name was familiar, and it seemed... It's right on the lips.

Oh...

He remembered that the two disciples who had kidnapped Wei Xun and Du Du before... It is Guan Lin, the fourth son of Guan Gong.

Zhang Zhongjing also specially instructed that there is no doctor in this world who asks for the truth of sin from people who come to seek medical advice?

So...

Zhang Zhongjing couldn't figure out the reason for this for a while.

Du Du was worried about the master's condition, and hurriedly said: "The master has only taken the medicine twice, according to the medical book, he needs to take it again tonight, and the disciple will decoct the medicine." ”

"Go for the teacher!" Zhang Zhongjing's eyes were full of urgency...

In his world, the severe typhoid fever he suffers from, that is, the most violent of the "typhoid fever", is the one that makes "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" helpless.

And if this one is defeated, there is no doubt that "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" will be completely complete.

He Zhang Zhongjing dared to pat his chest and speak.

Dahan - no longer ravaged by typhoid fever.

Dahan - no longer have to be empty because of typhoid fever.

This piece of medicine is the last and most important stroke in the compilation of "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases".

"Father-in-law, you have just recovered..."Diao Chan pursed her lips, she was persuading Zhang Zhongjing. Isn't it... Should I finish the porridge first to replenish my strength? ”

Zhang Zhongjing was in good spirits, as if he was driven by the "magic elixir", he was full of energy.

"I won't drink the porridge." He shook his head softly at Diao.

Immediately, he solemnly instructed the two disciples, Du Du and Wei Xun: "The prescription given to you by Guan Sigongzi, every medicine, every dose, must be seen clearly by the teacher... If he has any medical advice, you two should also tell him everything. ”

Wei Xun subconsciously replied: "There is no doctor's order... Guan Sigongzi just gave us eight medical books and tens of thousands of prescriptions, and asked me and my senior brother to memorize them all. ”

I blurted out this...

Zhang Zhongjing's eyes flashed, and his heart "clicked", he was like... I heard something that is extremely important to Yu Xinglin and the benevolence of the doctor.

His tone became serious and meticulous, "Eight... Eight medical books, counting... Tens of thousands of pills! That... That..."

After a short period of silence, Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly said: "Guan Sigongzi asked you to memorize these, and the teacher asked you to write them all down silently... Now, now! Not a single prescription is missing! ”

“… Yes! ”

Wei Xun was startled, and then realized that it seemed that he had said the wrong thing.

Du Du glared at him, and hurriedly persuaded: "Master, dictation is not a problem, but... The master should take the medicine first. ”

"Well... Okay..."Zhang Zhongjing's voice became hoarse.

He sighed with emotion: "I can't imagine it, I can't imagine that the real Xinglin Medical Immortal... It's Guan Gong's son! It's Guan Sigongzi, good... All right... Okay, God treats the apricot forest well! ”

…
