Chinese medicine is magical.

Based on the harmony of yin and yang and the five elements, often with the right medicine, the yin and yang in the body are quickly balanced, and the medicine can be eliminated.

This is like the relationship between husband and wife, the man is yang, the woman is yin, one party is too strong, and the other party is too weak, which often leads to disharmony in the entire marriage and family, and even cannot be continued.

And when the two sides are "evenly matched", that is, when yin and yang are balanced, the family can survive.

For example, Zhang Zhongjing's condition is like this.

Speaking of which, the medicine used by the two disciples for him is nothing more than from the "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", and this book was originally from the 14th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Among the symptoms recorded in it, there are also several times more serious than Zhang Zhongjing's "severe typhoid fever".

And in the Southern Song Dynasty...

A condition similar to Zhang Zhongjing is actually not a big problem at all.

It is necessary to know that the development of Chinese medicine has leapfrogged in every dynasty.

If you put aside the "greatness" and their respective eras, Sun Simiao can beat Zhang Zhongjing, and Zhang Zhongjing can also beat Bian Que.

It's not that Zhang Zhongjing and Bian Que's medical skills are not good, but... The "breadth" of medical skills and the "refinement" of medicinal materials cannot reach the level of successor doctors.

At this time, Zhang Zhongjing's high fever had subsided, and although he still had visual and auditory weakness, it was already better than every day he had been bedridden for half a year.

Originally, his stomach was empty, but now with a bowl of porridge, the whole person suddenly recovered a lot of strength.

This is not the first recovery from a serious illness, it can only be said that the condition is improving.

Even so, it made him feel like he had been reborn, and his spirit was exceptionally good.

At this moment, Zhang Zhongjing listened to the two disciples silently recite "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription"...

He asked, "Is this the medical book written by the fourth son of the Guan family?" Did you use this recipe to save your teacher? ”

"It's... Neither is it. Du Du hurriedly replied: "It is true that this recipe saved the teacher, but... This recipe was not written by Guan Sigongzi, and according to him, he also copied it from the hands of some mountain medicine practitioners..."

"Mountain medicine practitioners?"

Zhang Zhongjing squinted... He was a little unconvinced.

And at this moment, in addition to listening to the prescriptions that treated him, he also specially wrote down many strange prescriptions in the "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription".

For example, a stomachache...

The recipe is very simple, drink tempeh soup, drink and vomit, and you're good to go!

Another example is malaria.

The recipe is to put a spider in a meal and swallow it in one bite, or hold a rooster to get rid of all malaria.

And when malaria strikes.

Stand by the water with a stone, then recite a mantra as haste, and then throw the stone into the water without looking back.

These...

There's really a bit of a taste of Yamanoro.

But... Zhuyu is in front of him, and Zhang Zhongjing can be cured, which shows that although the treatment methods in these mountains and fields are incredible, they are not necessarily wrong.

Zhang Zhongjing became more and more fascinated the more he listened.

After listening to "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", he asked his disciple to recite "Qianjin Fang" again... Then there is the Compendium of Materia Medica.

I didn't feel anything when I heard the "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", but as soon as the "Qianjin Fang" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" came out, Zhang Zhongjing realized that something was wrong with the problem.

Those who can write such medical books must have far better medical skills than him Zhang Zhongjing.

How can it be a mountain healer?

And if you can collect all of these together and write them all silently, how can the so-called Guan Sigongzi not be a medical master?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he is not a medical expert.

At least... He is also a pharmacy master.

That being said...

This fourth prince of Guan is not only his benefactor Zhang Zhongjing, but also a hidden 'leader of the apricot forest!' ’

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly commanded.

"You don't have to carry it..."

"Is my father-in-law going to rest?" Diao Chan asked hurriedly.

"Go and rest, all of you." Zhang Zhongjing said with emotion: "Early tomorrow morning, we will take the teacher to the city, and take the teacher to thank this fourth prince of Guan!" Thank you for his saving grace! ”

"Together, you will go and make amends to him, especially... It's you, Hongchang! We have people in the apricot forest to save the world, but some rules need to be remembered, there is kindness to be repaid, and there is a repayment! ”

Zhang Zhongjing looked meaningfully at Diao Chan.

Diao Chan nodded heavily, he knew... The Father-in-law was referring to the beating of the "drum."

Oh, yes...

She should indeed make amends to this fourth prince of Guan.

You must know that the father of this fourth prince of Guan saved her fifteen years ago;

Now, fifteen years later, this fourth prince of Guan is... and saved her father-in-law.

This pair of Guan family father and son is so kind...

She should be repaid for being a cow and a horse!

Diao Chan really made up her mind secretly, even if... is a slave and a maid, even if it is a cow or a horse, she has to... I also want to repay this fourth son of Guan!

…

…

Hanzhong, the main hall of the government office.

After a long time, Cao Cao, who killed people in a good dream, was finally woken up from his sleep, his hair was not crowned, his eyes were condensed, and he seemed to be in a very heavy mood.

When he saw the officials in the main hall, he immediately shouted.

"Concert!"

Cheng Yu anxiously submitted a military report, "Prime Minister, I just received an urgent report, Xiangfan Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was defeated, Cao Ren and Cao Chun were assassinated, and the intelligence was urgent..."

It seems that Cao Cao already knows about this.

Cao Hong was busy opening his mouth: "Big brother, that Guan Yu's secret arrow hurts people, its purpose is to deceive the eldest brother back, so as to solve the danger in Shu, the eldest brother must not be fooled!" ”

"That's..."Cao Zhen also arched his hand and said: "Today's people in Shu are panicking, and at this time, they will go south to attack Shu... Once in a lifetime, you won't miss it again! What's more, the Manfu Jun in Xiangyang City is still there, the general Wenpin in Jiangxia is still there, the general Niu Jin under the general of the heavenly people also has the courage of ten thousand people, and General Lu Chang is even called 'the soldiers do not stop in the enemy country, and they do not invade the neighbors', with them, even if General Cao Ren faints, Guan Yu may not be able to gain the upper hand. ”

As soon as this statement came out...

The generals here such as Xu Huang, Zhang He, Xiahou Yuan, Guo Huai and others all have a straight face, as if... They don't want to give up this great opportunity so easily.

Cao Cao didn't give these generals more opportunities to express their opinions, he just raised his hand.

said with a rather heavy emotion:

- "People are not satisfied, they have to be long, and they look back at Shuye." ”

Leaving such a sentence, Cao Cao strode out of the room.

A cadre of civil servants and military generals looked at each other and discussed...

"How could the prime minister leave such a sentence 'Vested Long, look back at Shuhu'?"

"Is the prime minister leaving Hanzhong and rushing to Jingxiang to support?"

"Not going south? This... Isn't that a pity? ”

Among the Wenchen, there is an inconspicuous literary peng-Sima Yi, who also stands here.

Sima Yi is thirty-six years old this year, he stands at the end, he is not qualified to participate in such a meeting, Cao Cao specially brought him.

At this moment, everyone was discussing, and Jia Kui, who was about the same age as Sima Yi, asked him, "Zhongda, according to your opinion, Prime Minister Cao Cheng left such a sentence 'Vested Long, look back at Shuye', but he wants to give up going south to support Xiangfan?" ”

Sima Yi shook his head, "Did the prime minister say to give up going south?" ”

This...

Jia Kui looked surprised, "What do you mean?" ”

Sima Yi stretched out his index finger and motioned him to be quieter, he just said lightly: "Figure out the prime minister's mind... It is the way to take trouble, and you and I will not bring disaster upon ourselves! ”

"You... I like to sell off. Jia Kui shook his head helplessly.

Sima Yi said lightly: "General Zihe and General Zixiao were assassinated, this death and fainting, on the surface, it seems that a catastrophe is coming, but blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, how can there be no just right taste!" ”

For a while, Jia Kui seemed to be dizzy by Sima Yi, completely looking like he was in the clouds.

In fact, the biggest doubt in his heart is still:

——Will Prime Minister Cao Cheng give up his southern Bashu and rush to Xiangfan!

…

…

Cao Cao was carefully reading the beloved letterhead.

He was slightly surprised when he read about the vans, the crossbows, and the wooden oxen and horses;

When he read that in order to snatch these weapons, when Cao Chun sent troops to Sunset Valley, and the tigers and leopards were all buried, his mood was even more incomprehensible.

read that the two generals Cao Ren and Cao Chun fought in the middle of the night, and finally Cao Chun smashed the repeater, and the hidden weapon in the repeater was triggered, and Cao Chun and Cao Ren died and fainted.

Cao Cao only felt a faint pain in his forehead.

With a "bang", he slammed his favored letterhead on the ground.

He groaned the name of the culprit.

"Huang Laoxie - this Huang Laoxie is so poisonous!"

"This time, Zixiao and Zihe fell for the trick of that old evil man. Ridiculous, Zixiao, for several years to be cautious and stubborn, but I don't want to... This time, I lost on a greedy word. ”

At this time, Cheng Yu explained by Cao Cao's side: "From Hanzhong to Xiangfan, there are two directions, land and water, and the distance is long.

Without waiting for Cheng Yu to finish asking, Xu Chu came in to report, "Prime Minister, General Xu Huang asks to see you." ”

Cao Cao raised his head, his face was extremely gloomy, "Biography!" ”

Xu Huang stepped in, because he was so anxious that he forgot to do the salute, "Is the prime minister going to Xiangfan?" ”

Cao Cao noticed his faux pas and frowned in displeasure.

"Huh?"

Xu Huang came to his senses and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, "The last will be rude, and the last will meet the prime minister." ”

Cao Cao asked lightly: "Who are you listening to?" ”

Xu Huang replied respectfully: "Is it the prime minister himself who said that he has Long, and he looks back at Shuhu?" Now it is rumored in the entire military camp, and the generals are in a mess, busy packing up their baggage, and rushing to the aid of Xiangfan with the prime minister. ”

Cheng Yu bowed: "What General Gongming said is true, the army's heart is floating!" ”

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, "I have learned to figure out Gu's mind." Gongming, you quickly go to each battalion to give orders, and say that all battalions will be cleaned up, and when Gu gives the order, the three armies will be sent to Jingxiang to fight to the death with Guan Yunchang. ”

This...

Xu Huang arched his hand, "The last general dared to ask, during this time, the soldiers who I and General Yi (Zhang He) secretly trained were good at mountain warfare, and they were... Is it all in vain? ”

In other words, Xu Huang asked, is it really not a good time to go south?

Cao Cao replied coldly: "What the lonely party just said, did you not remember or did you not understand?" ”

Xu Huang hurriedly bowed and retreated, "The last general remembers, the last general will retire!" ”

Xu Huang exited the room and said to himself in confusion, "It's a failure, it's a failure..."

He pondered for a moment, stamped his feet, and strode towards Zhang He's camp.

"Ahh

With a helpless sigh, he recalled that when he took Hanzhong before, Cao Cao specially summoned him and Zhang He secretly.

That time, the two were led by Xu Chu to a dilapidated room.

A map hangs high in the room.

The map marks three roads south to Bashu.

The first Golden Bull Road, this road named after the story of "Stone Ox Dung Gold, Five Ding Open Road" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

If you want to arrive in Chengdu from Hanzhong, you need to go to Baocheng first, to Ningqiang, through Guangyuan, Zhaohua, Jianmen, Wulian Zitong, Mianyang, Deyang and finally to go south to Chengdu.

There are many passes and dangers here, and there are countless of them.

The second is the rice cang road, cross the Nanjiang River to Bazhong, the so-called "Bashu", refers to Bazhong and Shu, this "Bazhong" is the most important place to settle grain in Shu and go north to the army.

The third is the Lychee Road, which runs from Hanzhong to Xixiang and goes all the way south to Fuling, which is the core road connecting Yizhou and Jingzhou, and its strategic location is self-evident.

See these three roads...

Zhang He and Xu Huang roughly understood something,

At this time, Cao Cao walked in briskly from outside the door, he saw Xu Huang and Zhang He, and hurriedly ordered: "Lone wants to take Shuzhong, but the soldiers are not good at mountain warfare, and they can only rely on the two." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao pointed to the Micang Road and Lychee Road in the map and said: "Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are bound to garrison heavy troops on the Golden Bull Road, and it is extremely difficult to break through a sword pavilion, so... Lone plans to personally lead the army to take the Golden Bull Road, so as to confuse the big-eared thief, Gongming will take the Rice Cang Road, and Jun Yi will take the Lychee Road! If you lose Bazhong and Fuling, then in this Shuzhong, the big-eared thief can't sit steadily! ”

Xu Huangyou remembered that when the prime minister said that when he went south, how domineering he was, and how virtuous he scolded Fang Xuan?

At this moment, Xu Huang gathered his mind.

Flash... That was three months ago.

In the past three months, he and Zhang He have not dared to slack off every day, and have been training the soldiers in mountain warfare every day.

Moreover... I heard that after Liu Bei entered Shu, there was chaos in Shu, and people's hearts were fluctuating, which was a good opportunity to go south!

But who would have thought...

Still... But because... Because of a Xiangfan, because of Cao Ren's assassination and fainting, he will fall short!

"Alas... Alas..."

Xu Huang retreated and sighed for a long time.

Cao Cao thought about it and sneered, "Look, these martial artists today are already so blatant to figure out Gu's thoughts." ”

Cheng Yu said cautiously, "If the prime minister intends to support Xiangfan, then he should leave as soon as possible, so as to stabilize the morale of the two armies in Hanzhong and Xiangfan, and avoid the fluctuation of the army's morale!" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu, "When did Lone say that he was going to leave Xiangfan?" ”

"Ah..."Cheng Yu was stunned, "Didn't the prime minister say, 'Vested Long, look back at Shu'?" ”

"Haha..."Cao Cao laughed heartily, "You all think that Lone will leave for Xiangfan, so, then Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will also think so, so that the Shu army is all lax, in this way, the battle between Micang Road and Lychee Road can be determined, isn't this a God-given opportunity to go south?" ”

This...

Cao Cao blurted out this, and Cheng Yu was stunned...

But soon, he came to his senses.

Prime Minister: This... Is this "saving Xiangfan in the open and going to Shuzhong in the dark"?

What a clever plan!

…

…

The night was deep, and under the warm yellow light, Zhuge Liang's lupine scarf was holding Guan Yu's letter.

Walking on the smooth bluestone ground, he is pacing slowly and thoughtfully.

The so-called - see the words as obscure.

Seeing Guan Yu's handwritten letter, Zhuge Liang seemed to see Yun Chang himself.

——"Kong Ming is fine, since Jingzhou, it has been three years, and Yu is full of emotion. Thinking about the past, the three of my brothers married in Taoyuan, and looked at Mr. Yu for eight years... Mr. Shuijing once said that Wolong, phoenix chicks, one person can win the world, and then because of his brother Corporal Lixian, fortunately Mr. Shuijing's words, Mr. Wolong in Jingzhou ......"

- "Kong Ming is teaching Yunqi, this is a fortunate thing for the Guan family, this son is arrogant, and his temperament is like Guan Mou, and he is angry with Guan Mou when he answers the questionnaire, so there is some prevarication and nonsense in the answer sheet, I hope Kong Ming doesn't mind!" ”

Hundreds of words are sprinkled throughout.

It is mostly Guan Yu's praise for Zhuge Liang.

However, these are not the point, the point is on the last sentence... Guan Gong's sentence to excuse his son Yunqi.

- "Yun Qi is a little prevaricating and nonsense in his answer, I hope Kong Ming doesn't mind!" ”

This...

When reading this, Zhuge Liang paused slightly.

He was surprised, was this what Guan Yu could say?

Guan Yu has been arrogant all his life, even if he had exchanged letters with Zhuge Liang before, which were full of the four big characters of "high-spirited", even Zhuge Liang had to lower his figure.

But this letter, his posture is so low.

Zhuge Liang couldn't imagine...

In the end, this fourth prince of Guan makes Yun Chang so important that he can write such a letter that is "humble" to the bone marrow.

There is no pride, no conceit, such a Guan Gong makes Zhuge Liang feel at ease, and he can rest assured!

In addition, this Guan Lin Guan Yunqi made Zhuge Liang even more curious.

Yang Yi reminded, "Zhuge Military Division has read General Guan's letter, next, you might as well take a look at Yunqi Gongzi's answer sheet..."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang knelt down and sat back in front of the desk, and he waved his hand gently.

Said lightly towards Yang Yi.

- "The exam paper is dead, and judging a person just from the exam question is one-sided, Wei Gong, I'm curious... What do you think of this Guan Lin Gongzi, tell me. ”

Zhuge Liang took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Yang Yi and pushed it in front of him.

This...

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, he recalled the scene when he was separated from Guan Yu in Jingzhou.

Guan Yu said at that time. "I'm not afraid that Yang Shangshu will laugh, my son's nonsense answer will inevitably make Kong Ming feel that this son is frivolous! Correct... Guan's son, he knows best that Yunqi is by no means frivolous, but he is too much like Guan... is as arrogant as Guan and as stubborn as Guan. ”

And Yang Yi's answer was, "To put it mildly, the lower officials envy the prince of Yunqi, and the lower officials also envy Guan Gong." ”

Oh, yes...

With such a jade, how could Yang Yi not see its luster?

Immediately, Yang Yi's eyes flickered, "Does the military advisor really want to listen?" ”

"Seriously."

"Then did the military advisor listen to the smart and shrewd side of this Cloud Banner boy first? Or listen to it... The rebellious, rambling side? ”

"Let's start with the nonsense and rebellion." Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea.

Yang Yi mentioned the "first answer sheet" without thinking, and he talked eloquently.

"If you talk about this nonsense side, this answer sheet can be vividly displayed, and it is also this answer sheet that provokes tension between father and son, and even provokes Yunqi Gongzi to Guan Gong's 'fierce words', the so-called 'lack of talent is resourceful, lack of knowledge is more worry', 'insufficient authority is more angry, not enough faith is more talk'... These words are not good! ”

As he spoke, Yang Yi had already unfolded the first answer sheet for Zhuge Liang.

And Zhuge Liang was still surprised.

- "If you don't have enough talent, you will be resourceful, and if you don't know enough, you will be too worried." If there is not enough power, there will be much anger, and if there is not enough faith, there will be much speech.'"

- "Can Yun Chang condone this son to this step?"

Zhuge Liang wanted to see the rebellious side of this "Cloud Banner Prince".

That's when ...

"—Newspaper."

A guard reported: "Yu Junshi, there is a Jingzhou envoy outside the door asking to see the military advisor?" ”

Not...

Zhuge Liang raised his eyes, it was obvious that he was a little surprised.

- "Wei Gong rushed here as soon as he arrived in Shuzhong, how could there be an envoy from Jingzhou?"

"Can you ask for your identity? Can you be sure that it is the envoy of Jingzhou? ”

Zhuge Liang replied softly.

"Yes, the signal of the public." The guard said truthfully: "But this messenger said that he came to chase Yang Shangshu, saying that he wanted to recover a handwritten letter from Guan Gong." ”

Not...

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhuge Liang, but Yang Yi was also shocked.

Guan Gong's handwritten letter? Why do you want to recover it all of a sudden?

Yang Yi pondered.

- "Could it be that this Cloud Banner Boy has provoked Guan Gong to anger again?" Isn't Guan Gong going to intercede for him? This... No, it won't!'

Yang Yi shook her head.

Guan Gong's "love" for Yunqi Gongzi, Yang Yi felt it deeply, and said that it was hateful, so the depth of love was not an exaggeration.

How so?

Zhuge Liang was also a little surprised... Beckon.

"Pass him in."

Who would have thought, at this moment.

Another scribe broke into the room, saw Yang Yi there, and hesitated slightly.

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and signaled, "Wei Gong is his own person, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

The scribe hurriedly said, "The military division... I just received an urgent report from Xiangfan, Xiangfan... Something happened to Xiangfan, Cao Ren and Cao Chun were assassinated, Cao Chun died, and Cao Ren fainted! ”

This...

As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Liang's eyes widened in an instant, and he almost didn't believe what he heard.

Zhuge Liang was a cautious person, he quickly got up and asked the scribe.

"You... You repeat! ”

The scribe's words were chanted again.

- "Just now... I just received an urgent report from Xiangfan, something happened to Xiangfan, Cao Ren and Cao Chun were assassinated, Cao Chun died, and Cao Ren fainted! Lord... The lord has already sent someone to invite the military advisor to General Zuo's mansion to discuss matters! ”

With a "bang", Zhuge Liang was so surprised that his chest rose and fell.

- Assassinated!

- Cao Ren fainted, Cao Chun died...

Doesn't that mean that today's Xiangfan... Rudderless ship?

This...

This...

How could Zhuge Liang not know what this means?

…
