Chapter 235: Riding a foot bridge to fight Sun Zhou
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
Although Cao Cao used various means of news blockade, it is estimated that the real motive of Xu Du's mutiny, and even the important element of "Jiaozhao", will be delayed for a few months before being known to the princes of other towns.
But there is no doubt that long before Dong Cheng made a move, there was already a person in the land of Dahan who knew that Dong Cheng was about to make a move, and he also knew that this move would definitely be accompanied by "resignation to His Majesty's will". This person is Zhuge Jin in Wuhu.
(Note: The original text of "Three Kingdoms" is "resignation", Chen Shou did not make any judgment on the authenticity of the edict, but only truthfully relayed the objective behavior, "Dong Cheng said that he received the decree.") )
Zhuge Liang finally wrote a letter to his eldest brother on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, according to the latest information he had collected, and after truthfully summarizing it.
At that time, there were still nine days before Dong Cheng and Lu Bu officially started.
However, in Zhuge Liang's letter, two latest key pieces of information have been caught:
First of all, the last time Sun Wei went to Xudu, he only gave Dong Cheng two pieces of chain mail, which Dong Cheng also gladly accepted, and also hinted at Liu Bei's good intentions.
Secondly, the Xudu Imperial Court had already responded to Liu Biao's closure of the river, allowing Cao Hong to change his guard and go to Wancheng, and at the same time allowing Gao Shun to go out and participate in the counterinsurgency mission of Gongdu in Runan.
Zhuge Jin received the letter six days later on the twenty-sixth day of the first month, that is, three days before Dong Cheng and Lu Bu started.
And on the basis of this letter alone, coupled with his own original knowledge of history, he decided that something was about to break out.
As a result, Zhuge Jin became the first person in the world to prepare for war, and he knew better than anyone when the war would start.
This is not an open hanging, as a prophet, there is so much intelligence support, it is normal to make judgments when you are on the verge of a kick.
"I asked the second brother to send two pieces of lock ring soft armor to Dong Cheng through Sun Wei, and this thing will definitely be copied out by Cao Cao after Dong Cheng is destroyed. If Dong Cheng is more powerful, directly acts and uses these weapons, it will be even more conspicuous.
Sooner or later, Cao Thief will find out that the lord has a good relationship with Dong Cheng, even if Cao Thief is dull, I am sure that Cao Thief will not know at the most suitable time. When the time comes, he will inevitably give Sun Ce an edict in the name of the emperor and let Sun Ce deal with us.
As long as our army is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, pretends not to be wary of Sun Ce, and pretends that Jiang Ce is lax, maybe it will have a miraculous effect when the time comes...... Well, Jiang Fang has indeed had to relax recently, otherwise if Cao Cao's secret envoy to Sun Ce couldn't reach Moling, and Sun Ce had no excuse to crusade against me, wouldn't it be self-defeating? ”
After Zhuge Jin read the second brother's secret letter, he burned the letter on the fish oil lamp, and secretly thought in his heart.
I remember that three years ago, when he just sent Ah Liang the first batch of dense rolls and "health supplies", he also taught Ah Liang to use beef ghee to light the lamp, which can brighten up and protect his eyesight.
Now this old recipe has been eliminated - no matter how bright the beef ghee is, it is not as bright as the whale oil lamp, but the ancient navigation technology is too weak to systematically hunt whales.
Later, as the fishing industry in Guangling, Danyang and Lujiang counties became more and more developed, especially after the start of trawling gillnet fishing the year before last, Zhuge Jin found that fishermen would naturally catch a lot of fatty aquatic animals, because the ecology of the Han Dynasty was too good.
Since this is the case, Zhuge Jin asked the government to set a fair price for oil recycling, which can be regarded as waste utilization.
This price should not be too high, if it is higher than the price of mandarin fish sea bass, it will encourage fishermen to go out of their way to kill thick oily animals.
Only when it happens to be cheaper than delicious fish, fishermen will not go out of their way, but they will do it after accidentally catching it.
When Zhuge Jin read and burned the letters, no matter how close he was, he didn't dare to get close.
When the letter was completely reduced to ashes, the big and small bridges quietly came over and asked him to rest early.
Zhuge Jin raised his eyes and glanced at the second daughter with a little meaning, and said in a calm tone: "Tomorrow I will go to Guangling County to inspect, these days, you will listen to the trainer and take good care of your wife." ”
To deal with Sun Ce, not only must you resist Wuhu in Danyang County, but you also have to beware of Guangling in the north.
Guangling is bordered by a river of 600 miles between Danyang and Wujun, and it is possible to cross the river everywhere.
Zhuge Jin has confidence in Guangling's defensive ability to guard Chen Deng, but Chen Deng's health has not been good recently, and it seems that he ate too much sashimi in his early years.
Although he listened to Zhuge Jin's persuasion three years ago and stopped eating freshwater fish, in the end, he only let this old disease drag on for a few more years before attacking, and he still had to find a famous doctor to be optimistic.
In order to be foolproof, Zhuge Jin must finally confirm Chen Deng's situation before starting the war. I also inspected the results of farming in Guangling County last winter to see if Chen Deng made good use of the winter slack conscription to improve his combat readiness as planned.
Moreover, Chen Deng's disease, since the attack last winter, Zhuge Jin has not kept it a secret. Now that he has crossed the river in the name of visiting the patient, even if Sun Ce's careful investigation hears the news afterwards, it will not cause alarm, and maybe he will suspect that Chen Deng's condition has deteriorated, so he is worthy of Zhuge Jin to visit the patient in person.
On the Wuhu side, Guan Yu and Lu Su are here, and there is no need to worry about Sun Ce suddenly not calming down in advance.
The big and small bridges didn't know what the master was thinking, and they didn't want to know too much, so they just agreed to it, saying that they would definitely listen to the words of the step trainer in the future.
Last autumn, Zhen Mi was still pregnant after more than half a year of marriage, and perhaps she was also anxious to leave her husband behind, so she often asked her sister-in-law Zhuge Zhi some medical questions.
Zhuge Jin originally came to see her young, afraid that it would not be good for her health, and wanted to wait. But Zhen Mi insisted on avoiding the safe period, and Zhuge Jin had nothing to say, went with the flow, and respected the other party's choice.
With Zhen Mi's physical inconvenience, Zhuge Jin's anger was only supported by Daqiao alone, and finally with the arrival of the new year, Zhuge Jin saw that Xiaoqiao and the foot trainer had grown older, so they no longer hid it.

Zhuge Jin knew that if she didn't officially accept the foot trainer, then when she was asked to command the big and small bridges, she would have no right name and no confidence - in what capacity would she take care of the two elderly maidservants who had an affair with their master?
At this point, Zhuge Jin's back house is completely stable: Zhen Mi is a wife, the foot trainer is a concubine, and Xiaoqiao is the daughter of a criminal minister and a slave.
Thinking that he was about to deal with Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Sun Quan alone, Zhuge Jin felt hard in his heart.
But thinking that he could fight while doing something else, Zhuge Jin felt refreshed again.
This sense of conquest is unimaginable to ordinary people.
……
After comforting the concubine and maid, Zhuge Jin took a boat north early the next morning and crossed the river down the river to inspect. After passing through Yang and Chu counties, he arrived in Guangling two days later.
On the Guangling Wharf, the civil and military forces of the county, who had received the news in advance, all came to greet Zhuge Jin, but Chen Deng did not appear.
Zhuge Jin saw from afar that the leading civil and military forces were Chen Qun and Chen Dao, and he knew that Chen Deng's illness was not yet well, and it was estimated that he was raised at home.
However, Mi Zhu, the Taishou of Donghai County, did not appear, which made Zhuge Jin a little surprised. Although Mi Zhu is not an official in Guangling, he should have a job to report to Zhuge Jin.
Mi Zhu's temperament is cautious, not to offend people, and should not be rude.
With a little suspicion, Zhuge Jin said to the Wenwu who greeted him on the dock, "You have worked hard", and then Chen Qun accompanied him into the city.
The group soon came to the Taishou Mansion, Zhuge Jin went straight into the atrium, only to see Chen Deng and Mi Zhu greet each other, Chen Deng's face was a little pale, but his actions were not barrier-free. Mi Zhu on the side was in good health, but his expression was cramped.
Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: Chen Deng deliberately pretended to be seriously ill, could it be that he wanted to bury some foreshadowing, so that he could use it as needed in the future?
Zhuge Jin didn't break it, and motioned to Chen Deng and Mi Zhu to enter the house without any waves, and asked casually:
"Yuanlong's illness should be fine, right? I heard that you have found a miracle doctor like Mr. Yuanhua (Hua Tuo) to see you, if you can't do it well, won't you smash Mr. Yuanhua's signboard. ”
Chen Deng said with a weak heart: "Actually, it's okay, as long as you recuperate." Ziyu doesn't blame me for being cured, but I don't go to the pier to greet me. ”
Zhuge Jin talked and laughed: "This is 'prepared', what a way!" ”
Chen Deng was stunned for a moment, and then gently patted Mi Zhu next to him: "Zizhong, what do I say?" So you don't have to worry about it! You and I have this little calculation, how can Ziyu not see the reason! ”
Mi Zhu smiled embarrassedly: "It's true that I'm worried about nothing." Ziyu is here today, should he be here to inspect the defense? Could it be that something is really going on in the southeast? ”
Zhuge Jin: "The day before yesterday, I received the secret order of the lord and the letter of my brother, I estimate that it will be within one or two months." And I estimate that once Xu is unstable and there is civil strife, Cao Cao will definitely worry that we will unite with Yuan Shao, so as to reward Sun Ce and let Sun Ce do it.
So now, since the news of Yuanlong's recovery has not yet spread, it is better to continue pretending to be sick. I just don't know where Mr. Yuanhua is? Yuanlong, you haven't healed for a long time, it's not good for his reputation, is he willing to spend more months in Guangling and help us get a blind eye? Consultation fees are not an issue. ”
Hearing Zhuge Jin's inferences and the first to think of this problem, Chen Dengcai couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Yuanhua travels all over the world, mostly between Henan and Xu, and occasionally goes to Yangzhou. Last year, the Yuzhou soldiers were in trouble, and he only temporarily transferred to Xu Yang.
Previously, I was seriously ill and no one else could treat me, so I tried every means to find someone to visit, Mr. Yuanhua heard that there was a strange disease, and he was happy to see the hunt, so he went back to Guangling for hundreds of miles to see a doctor. Later, I was juiced with thick garlic soup and the rest of the spices, forcing me to endure the bitterness and drink, but as a result, I vomited and diarrhea, and there were many slender red worms.
However, Mr. Yuanhua especially said that it is difficult to cure this disease at one time. I have been forced to keep him for more than half a month, and if I want to stay more, I am afraid that the non-financial resources can move his heart, so he is poor. ”
Chen Deng explained and described his condition to Zhuge Jin.
Chen Deng's first-hand rhetoric is also consistent with Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms. The statements on "The Legend of Fang Ji" are not the same, but Zhuge Jin believes that Chen Deng's first-hand description is true.
According to Chen Shou's writing, Chen Deng's parasites are all vomited, which is obviously not in line with medical common sense. Digestive parasites, whether tapeworms, nematodes, roundworms, can be spit out of the mouth, or at least pulled out.
It is possible to say that after Chen Deng took anthelmintic medicine, he vomited and diarrhea, but most of the parasites were pulled out. The ancients, who did not understand medicine, spread falsehoods, and for the sake of dramatic effect, it was also excusable.
In the past few years, Hua Tuo has indeed practiced medicine between Xu and Yang.
The light of "Three Kingdoms. The cases recorded in the "Biography of Fang Ji" include Chen Deng, the Taishou of Guangling, Xu Yi, the governor of Guangling, Yan Xin of Yandu County, the wife of Peng Chengxiang, and Mei Ping, the military official of Guangling County.
Therefore, it is logical for Chen Deng to visit and invite Hua Tuo, and there is no need to open it.
After listening to Chen Deng's full retelling, Zhuge Jin couldn't help touching his beard: "If you want to find an excuse to keep Mr. Yuanhua, I have a way." Isn't he a good doctor, last autumn, Ah Liang and I were in Xiapi and Guangling for a few months, didn't we have been studying Lao Mian and Qu Tiler.
I think Mr. Yuanhua should be interested in Ah Liang's manuscript of "Qu Tiller Theory". We can also make an exception for Mr. Yuanhua's research on yeast noodles, beer medicine, lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, and some other isolated products isolated from the Qu Tiller laboratory.
With these bait, wouldn't it be easy to keep him for a few more months? As for the external world, it is only preached that it is because Brother Yuanlong is critically ill that Mr. Yuanhua has been forced to stay for several months and cannot leave. With such a seamless fit, how can outsiders find out the truth? ”
Zhuge Jin didn't believe it, in the case that only Guangling County has the only "microbiology laboratory" in the world, there is still not a single Hua Tuo.
