After finally coming out of the medical hall, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He, who were carrying paper-wrapped medicinal herbs, looked at each other, and then sighed together.

Although he was in a heavy mood after talking with Doctor Zhang for a long time, Jian Yong did not accompany him on the return trip, and said that he allowed the two to relax in Chang'an City, which made up for some of his depressed mood - of course, accompanied by the guards.

As for Jian Yong, according to the sporadic words Zhang He heard when he went out, it seemed that he wanted to discuss with Doctor Zhang how to give Qiang Hu Jiaoze some simple medical skills.

Qianghu ...... Zhang He has killed a lot, and in the end, it was Qianghu's Qiang Cavalry who exhausted him to the point of being sleepy, lacking food and grass.

But you want to teach Qianghu medicine? Zhang He felt that Liu Bei's gang were either fearless people like Emperor Guangwu, or a group of ignorant people who were high-eyed and boastful.

However, it is impossible for the ignorant to force Prime Minister Cao Cheng to stumble on the left and right, and it is impossible to attack the heart and make tens of thousands of troops captured.

It is even more impossible to go from a lost dog to a male lord in the Han Dynasty in just three or four years.

After coming out of this medical hall Beppu and seeing Chang'an, which was similar to last year, Zhang He's eyes were a little confused:

This Liu, is it really exciting?

"The prime minister is just a maniac, how can he know so many things!"

Xiahou Yuan on the side complained indignantly and whispered, but Zhang He could also hear the weakness in his heart.

In addition to letting the two of them know the harm of Wushisan in detail, the old doctor did not hesitate to show the two of them whether there were any hidden diseases, wrote a diagnosis and decoction formula, and grabbed a few medicines for the two to take back.

But in addition, Doctor Zhang used serious words to make the two of them clearly remember a name: Hua Tuo.

During this period, it was inevitable to criticize and scold Prime Minister Cao Cheng, but the two of them were under the eaves and still carried a decoction in their hands, so in the end they could only pinch their noses and endure it.

It was also when he was already standing outside the door at this time that Xiahou Yuan was able to say a few words lightly.

But the two of them also better understand why this miracle doctor has a lot of affection for Liu Bei, and in the final analysis, they have to thank their prime minister.

Thinking about this Zhongjing living here, I heard the servants in the palace say that Uncle Liu Huang should treat him politely and guard him strictly.

Thinking about Hua Tuo who died unjustly in prison, this divine doctor personally said that his medical skills were several times that of him, so Xiahou Yuan, who had finished complaining, couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's go." Zhang He shook his head and dispersed the confusion in his eyes, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere at this time.

If you are serious, the two of them have spent a lot more time in Chang'an than Liu Bei, so they are no strangers to the streets.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of encountering Zhong Xuan on the return trip, the two simply chose a detour road, which could not only distract themselves, but also take a look at the style of Chang'an at this time.

Whether it is the other courtyard where Xiahou Zhang He and others are temporarily living now, or the Beppu where this divine doctor is heavily guarded, they are all located in the middle of Chang'an.

To the north is the former site of the Imperial Palace, and to the south of the city is a fertile plain surrounded by abundant water and basui, so the northern part of the city is also mostly a courtyard for ordinary people.

Along the road to the south, the courtyards along the street gradually became smaller and fragmented, and after continuing to cross two streets, Xiahou Yuan saw that the people's houses here were being demolished.

"Why is that?" Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but ask, but immediately remembered that Jian Yong was not there.

Unexpectedly, the leader of the guards looked at him twice and said:

"Level the ground, Zhuge wants to set up a workshop here."

Xiahou Yuan nodded silently, as for what the workshop area is, it is not easy to ask too much detail, but looking at the name, you can know that it should be set up for craftsmen.

Heavy medicine in addition to heavy industry? However, it doesn't seem strange to think of the soldiers and horses that Liu Bei saw after he was forced to surrender.

Xiahou Yuan was silent, but the leader of the guards seemed to have opened a chatterbox, took the initiative to lead the two to watch, and explained to the two in simple words.

"There is a workshop of this scale, and there is another one in the north of the city."

"As determined by Zhuge Military Division, the south of the city is connected to the fertile soil outside the city, and the workshop here is dedicated to providing agricultural convenience for the people, and agricultural tools and agricultural tools are made here."

"The north of the city is connected to Weishui, and the workshop there is good at iron, paper, sugar, brocade and boats, and when Chang'an has captured the population of Guanzhong in the future, it is convenient to move to the new city in the north of Weishui."

"Why don't the two generals climb the city wall and have a look?"

"Huh?" Xiahou Yuan was suddenly a little dizzy, if it weren't for Jian Yong's acquaintance with him earlier, he would have suspected that this was the death room arranged by Prime Minister Cao Cheng earlier.

So the little colonel laughed out loud and said, "The lord is fair, why not?" ”

Liu Bei agreed? Before Xiahou Yuan could figure it out, his body had already gone up to the city wall before his brain.

Ascending high and looking into the distance, the depressed mood of living in the snails these days suddenly dissipated a lot.

Xiahou Yuan, who was already too lazy to care about so much, pointed to the outside of the city and said:

"What's that for?"

What you see here is 10,000 acres of fertile land, and there are people driving oxen and plows to turn over the soil, but more people are digging pits on the side of the field.

The leader of the guards glanced at it and said:

"That is the Lord taking the lead in digging pits and fertilizing the people, so that when the summer and midmoon are over, they can fertilize the fields."

"Liu Bei?" Xiahou Yuan was stunned, and Zhang He next to him had excellent eyes, and at a glance he saw a person dressed as a farmer surrounded in the center, but he immediately noticed the title of this guard:

"My lord? I haven't consulted the daimyo yet. ”

So the guard smiled faintly: "Jingzhou Ma Yan, a nameless person." ”

Instead, he proposed: "If the two generals are interested, they might as well take a closer look, and the lord will definitely be happy to see the two generals." ”

Xiahou Yuan had a look of hesitation on his face, but finally shook his head and said, "Just leave it for now." ”

When he went down the city wall, he casually asked: "Who doesn't know this fat, why do you need to work General Zuo?" ”

Ma Jian said seriously: "Of course, this fertilizer method is different from the new law, Jingzhou has been used for two years, the production capacity per mu is increased by half a stone, if supplemented by iron farming tools and seedling care, and then open a canal to divert water for irrigation, the production capacity per mu increases by nearly one stone, from Jingzhou to Yizhou, Hanzhong, the lord attaches great importance to it, this is a common practice. ”

Xiahou Yuan was also a local lord in his early years, and he was no stranger to farming, so he blurted out:

"Impossible! Why should General Ma deceive me with this remark? ”

Ma Jian just smiled and took the initiative to lead the way in front:

"Why should General Xiahou lie to himself?"

Xiahou Yuan was naturally unconvinced, but then whatever he said, this Ma Jian didn't answer a word, just laughed.

After two more intersections, a large group of people and horses passed by in front of them, and Ma Jian took the initiative to stand aside with a group of people to avoid it.

Xiahou Yuan's heart was a little confused, but Zhang He stretched out his neck to see what this group of people was around:

"Bed crossbow...... Cart? ”

The bed crossbow is actually not a stranger, but because it is too bulky, it is difficult to move for a hundred years on the ground, and it is extremely troublesome to even turn, and it is relatively cumbersome to maintain, so there are not many people who use it to defend the city.

Ma Jian corrected:

"It should be an eight-ox ballista, and the range can be four hundred steps farther than a bed crossbow."

Xiahou Yuan didn't bother to accuse, he just felt that this Ma Jian deserved to be a nobody:

The bed crossbow has a range of 800 paces, if it is farther, do you know what the concept of range is 1,200 steps?

However, Ma Jian was full of interest and said more:

"This thing was originally used by Zhuge Junshi to attack General Xiahou, but it was not used."

Xiahou Yuan's old face turned red, and then he listened to Ma Yan say leisurely:

"Now it seems that Zhuge has been repaired and wants to send it to Jingbei so that Prime Minister Cao Cheng will know the benefits of crossbow arrows."

Xiahou Yuan declined to comment.

After two more streets, the two saw a whirlwind coming from the north and kicking dust away towards the south.

Ma Tan glanced back twice, and said to himself:

"In such a hurry, it seems that there should be an envoy from Jiangdong, I don't know whether to ask for General Lu's body or to negotiate peace."

"General Lu's body? Which General Lu? When Xiahou Yuan heard this surname, he was faintly uneasy in his heart.

Ma Jian pretended to be surprised and said: "Of course it's Jiangdong Lu Meng." ”

Then Ma Tan patted his forehead apologetically and said:

"It's not mine, I forgot that General Xiahou doesn't know...... More than ten days ago, Jingzhou handed over the news. ”

"Lu Ziming's subordinates rebelled, beheaded him and dedicated him to Jiangling Taishou and begged for surrender."

As long as he said this, Xiahou Yuan was already a little stunned, and then thought of what he had seen before, and suddenly had some mixed feelings in his heart:

"Thou hast taught me what I see and know today...... Want to teach me to die in the middle? ”

Ma Jian shook his head.

Xiahou Yuan's eyes also had a little look of expectation.

"The lord said that he wanted to exchange General Xiahou for the Yizhou pawn who was detained a few years ago when Liu Jiyu sent Cao Cheng to get along."

"As long as Prime Minister Cao agrees, General Xiahou can return to the east."

So Xiahou Yuan's eyes were full of suspicion, and he smiled confidently when he saw this Ma Tan:

"What I see now, the lord agrees."

"The military advisors even said that now that Sun Cao has joined forces, why can't I wait, do you know what these have to do?"

"Anyway, in less than two years, Prime Minister Cao Cheng will be defeated."

Xiahou Yuan was stunned and speechless.

Zhang He had forgotten how he got back to this courtyard.

He stared at the chessboard in a daze, and on the other side, Xiahou Yuan was kneeling on the ground with a face full of disbelief:

"Liu Bei is cunning, he must be deceiving me!"

But after a while, Zhang Heshu unfolded the medicine bag and wanted to fry it.

But after opening the medicine bag, he was a little suspicious, and touched the paper used to pack the medicine and asked Xiahou Yuandao:

"General Xiahou thinks that this paper is better than Zuo Bo paper, how is it?"
