Chapter 382: Five Diseases of the Gods and Humans, Four Parties Form an Alliance
"Xu'er, hurry up, Uncle Liu has brought a miracle doctor to diagnose you."
Huang Zhong walked to the bed and whispered to Huang Xu who was on the bed. Hua Tuo put his medicine box next to the bed. Huang Xu was only thirteen or fourteen years old. His face was pale, but his eyes were bright. It was Huang Zhong's talent that he inherited.
Huang Xuqiang braced himself and wanted to get up to pay his respects, but his body was too weak and it was difficult to even sit up.
"See Uncle Liu, cough... cough, please forgive me, Uncle Liu, cough... cough, I cannot salute you."
"It's okay. The emperor's uncle is here this time just to treat you. Don't worry."
Seeing such a sensible child, Gu Rubing couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"Ahem, thank you Uncle Liu Huang."
Huang Xu's voice was extremely weak, accompanied by several coughs. He stretched out his arm and placed it on the small table. Hua Tuo placed three fingers on Huang Xu's pulse. The more he touched, the more Hua Tuo frowned. This scene made Huang Zhong's heart twitch as he watched.
"I'm not afraid that Western medicine doctors will smile, but I'm afraid that Chinese medicine doctors will have low eyebrows. This sentence is really concrete now."
"When Huang Zhong saw Hua Tuo's frown, he became visibly panicked."
"This shouldn't be difficult for Hua Tuo, right? Back then, Zhang Liao had become a bloody man, and his breath was extremely weak, but Hua Tuo saved him. It feels so easy to have tuberculosis and wind-cold!"
"Western medicine tells me to quit smoking and drinking, but I sneer at it. Chinese medicine tells me to eat and drink well, but I cry bitterly!"
Hua Tuo's frowning expression aroused the emotion of netizens in the live broadcast room.
After a long time, Hua Tuo picked up the three fingers that took the pulse, took a long breath, and then said to Huang Xu who was lying on the bed.
"It doesn't matter, your disease can be cured, so don't worry. You have to rest first. I will prepare tonight's meal for you later."
When Huang Xu heard that his disease could be cured, a flash of light burst out in his eyes, staring at Hua Tuo, as if to confirm whether what Hua Tuo said was true.
"Really? Really? Can my son's disease really be cured?"
Huang Zhong was even more excited. He held Hua Tuo's hands and looked at him excitedly. Hua Tuo smiled slightly and patted Huang Zhong's hand.
"Don't worry, General Huang. Of course it's true. My son's condition was delayed by those quack doctors. My son's disease must not be eaten lightly. Consumption has little to do with whether the diet contains meat or fish. On the contrary, because of the weak constitution caused by consumption, You need to eat more meat to strengthen your body to resist diseases such as wind and cold.”
After listening to Hua Tuo's words, Huang Zhong wanted to slap himself in the mouth. After he believed the doctors' words, he never gave Huang Xu any meat. Now that he thought about it, he was really harmed.
"Son, you are saved."
Huang Zhong was sitting next to Huang Xu. This man who had killed enemies on the battlefield was crying like a tearful man. Gu Rubing coughed lightly.
"Han Sheng, let's go out first and let Xu'er rest for a while."
Gu Rubing, Hua Tuo and Huang Zhong walked out of the house. Zhao Yun was waiting quietly outside the house. After coming out, Huang Zhong knelt down in front of Hua Tuo.
"Thank you, the miracle doctor, thank you, the miracle doctor!"
"General Huang, in addition to tuberculosis, the young master has another illness, which is very serious."
Hua Tuo helped Huang Zhong up, and Huang Zhong looked at Hua Tuo in shock. He originally thought that Huang Xu only had tuberculosis, but he never thought that there were other diseases.
"What disease? How serious is it? Can it be cured?"
Huang Zhong asked eagerly.
"The five debilitating diseases of heaven and man."
"The Five Decline of Heaven and Man?"
"Yes, his heart may suddenly stop beating, or it may continue to fail until death."
This news hit Huang Zhong like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, making him sit on the ground, numb, and stopped thinking.
"General Huang, there is no need to be so depressed. This disease is not incurable, but it requires long-term medication. I will nurse the young master first and let him get better, and then I will slowly nurse him back to health."
"Can it be cured?"
"It can be cured."
"real?"
"real!"
After hearing the confirmation reply, the veteran finally could no longer restrain his emotions and broke down crying. Gu Rubing winked at Hua Tuo and motioned for them to leave first, leaving Huang Zhong to calm down alone.
Late at night, a team of 100 people came from Yangzhou to Xudu, the current capital. At the gate of Xudu, Cao Cao's men awarded Xiahou Dun, and Xia Houyuan waited for the team's arrival together. It was already late at night, but Cao Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion was still brightly lit. , a group of people were taken directly to the prime minister's house. The two leaders, wearing hoods and unable to see their faces, were led by the two Xiahou brothers to Cao Cao's study.
Cao Cao had already heated up the tea and was waiting for the arrival of the two of them. The two of them entered the room and took off their hoods. They were surprised to see Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. They cupped their fists and held their hands.
"See Prime Minister."
"Gong Jin, Bo Fu, hurry up, hurry up, sit down quickly, it's very humid after driving late at night, drink a cup of hot tea to get rid of the moisture."
Cao Cao said with a smile, and pushed two cups of tea in front of them at the same time. Since the tea was poured in advance, they both kept it in mind and did not drink it. They just thanked Cao Cao one after another.
Looking at the appearance of the two of them, how could Cao Cao not understand what they meant, but naturally Cao Cao would not pour it out and refill it for the two of them. That would be disrespectful. So, just put the two cups of tea there, Cao Cao took a sip and ignored the two of them, waiting for them to speak first.
"Prime Minister, we are here to discuss with you the handling of the land in Jingzhou."
Finally, Sun Ce couldn't sit still anymore and spoke. Cao Cao was still drinking tea leisurely.
"Jingzhou? A few months ago, didn't His Majesty give the order for Liu Qi to take over the post of Jingzhou Mu? What do you mean by this, Bo Fu?"
Cao Cao smiled and said, staring intently at the tea cup in his hand without looking at Sun Ce, and his tone was even more careless. Zhou Yu held Sun Ce's legs under the desk and asked him to stop talking. It was obvious to Cao Cao While pretending to be confused, what he wanted was for Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to say that they wanted to attack Jingzhou, so that when the time came, whether he succeeded or failed, he would have a way out.
"Jingzhou Liu Qi joined forces with Liu Bei and invaded our Yuzhang County. My lord is planning to launch a counterattack during this period to take back our Yuzhang County."
Zhou Yu was worthy of being someone who had been in the officialdom for a period of time. He spoke more mellowly than Sun Jian. He didn't give Cao Cao a chance, and Cao Cao didn't accept the move. However, he finally put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at the two of them.
"Of course this matter is possible. It's natural to get your own territory back. But there's no need to come and talk to me about this kind of thing. You two came to me for other things."
Cao Cao, an old fox, was easy to deal with Zhou Yu. He didn't follow Zhou Yu's lead at all, and returned the quarrel to the two of them.
"After all, it is Jingzhou Mu that His Majesty has just appointed. If we attack at this time, it will be a bit of a disgrace to His Majesty. Gong Jin is afraid, so he came to ask the Prime Minister to know what His Majesty's attitude is."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it doesn't matter. This is your private matter. I think there is no need to say it publicly. Otherwise, Your Majesty will only be troubled if he knows about it and will not be able to help you solve the problem."
Cao Cao still had a tepid attitude and had no intention of cooperating at all. He was not even willing to mention it. Seeing that Cao Cao still had this attitude, Zhou Yu no longer fought with Cao Cao and released his hand on Sun Ce's leg. , indicating that Sun Ce could continue speaking?
"Prime Minister, we all have the same enemy. An enemy's enemy is a friend, and an enemy's friend is also an enemy. Our common enemy is Liu Bei, and Liu Qi is a friend of the enemy. We are here this time to invite the Prime Minister. Attack Jingzhou together and cut off the connection between Jingzhou and Liu Bei."
After Zhou Yu let go of his hand, Sun Ce told him everything like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. Cao Cao then smiled and motioned to the maid standing beside him to pour another cup of tea for the two of them.
The two of them had been traveling all night and were already thirsty. They didn't dare to drink just now for fear that Cao Cao would drug them. Now they drank a pot of tea with Cao Cao and they felt relieved. After they both finished drinking, Cao Cao suddenly became evil. Smile charmingly.
"Aren't you two afraid that I drugged you under the quilt?"
Zhou Yu's expression changed after hearing this, but he quickly changed back, clasping his fists.
"The Prime Minister is a tycoon, how could he use such a trick, not to mention that we are here with full sincerity."
As he spoke, Zhou Yu clapped his hands, and among the hundreds of people he brought, one person walked out again and took off his hood. However, the face revealed made Cao Cao extremely unfamiliar. He searched his mind and couldn't find anything about this person. A little bit of news.
"Who is this?"
"This is the younger brother of Jiaozhou Prefect Shi Xie, Shi Yi, who is responsible for commanding the Jiaozhou infantry. This time, he will lead the Jiaozhou army to attack Jingzhou from the south. This is our sincerity."
Shi Yi cupped his fists and raised his hands to Cao Cao.
"The general will finally meet the Prime Minister."
"Are you Shi Xie's younger brother?"
"yes."
"You command the Jiaozhou infantry."
"yes."
"Will you launch an attack on Jingzhou from the south?"
"yes."
"What's the reason?"
"The governor of Cangwu County, Wu Ju, defected to Jingzhou and betrayed his trust. I am doing this to Jiaozhou just to regain Cangwu County."
"Hahaha, okay! Okay! Okay!"
Cao Cao said three good words in a row, and his whole body was in high spirits.
"Since you are so sincere, I'm here to show you my sincerity. Brother Ji Yu, come out."
As Cao Cao finished speaking, a figure walked out from the screen behind Cao Cao, and then sat next to Cao Cao. Cao Cao smiled brightly.
"Let me introduce, this is Brother Ji Yu, Yizhou Mu, Liu Zhang."
Seeing this, everyone at the scene looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Since we all have the same goal, let's talk openly about anything we have to say."
Liu Zhang said with a smile, and Sun Ce also smiled and nodded.
"This time, if we send troops from all directions, we will be able to quickly capture Jingzhou. As long as we capture Jingzhou, Liu Bei will be like a cripple. It is difficult to imagine that he can separate us all by himself."
"Jingzhou is just our outpost. Taking Jingzhou is our declaration of war against Liu Bei. But the war will not end here. When Liu Bei's minions are completely destroyed, we can sit down and chat quietly like now. About this world.”
Cao Cao, as the host and the most powerful among the people present, was in the limelight at the moment.
"My brother has given instructions. Everything is going according to the plan of several people. We will attack Cangwu County on time. After Cangwu County is captured, we will immediately go north to attack Lingling County in Jingzhou."
Shi Yi's voice was very rough, which was not consistent with his age and appearance. He was also the youngest person here, so after expressing his position, he fell silent and stopped talking.
"We will attack Yuzhang County with all our strength according to the time. After all the defenders of Yuzhang County are captured, we will divide our troops into three groups, go all the way north to attack Jiangxia County, go all the way to attack Changsha County, and go all the way south to attack Guangxi County. Yang County, the hardest bone for Huang Zu of Jiangxia, just leave it to us."
Sun Ce spoke confidently and with high spirits, he took over the three counties of Jingzhou, including the most powerful Huang Zu, who was included in his attack range.
"Since Bo Fu is so grand, I can't do anything. Liu Bei's reinforcements in the north will be deployed by me in Jingzhou and Yangzhou. I will never allow Liu Bei to easily enter Jingzhou. At the same time, Nanyang County will be handed over to me. After that, I will not When attacking Jingzhou, we will use all our strength to resist Liu Bei’s reinforcements.”
Seeing that Sun Ce and Shi Yi were so happy, Cao Cao spoke up himself and took on the most difficult part of this battle, which was to block Liu Bei's reinforcements. But now Cao Cao was confident that he could confront Liu Bei head-on. After several people As time passed, those monks had transformed from being shirtless and holding white wax sticks to heavy infantry wearing heavy armor and holding fine steel. Cao Cao didn't believe that Liu Bei could defeat such soldiers?
After the three of them completed the tasks one after another, they all turned to look at Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang was also unambiguous and spoke immediately.
"You have taken over everything you should take, then leave the bones of Nanjun to me. I will teach Liu Qi, my nephew, what a real army is. In addition, Wuling County has also been given to me, so there is no need to worry. "
Liu Zhang had been dealing with the barbarians in the southwest for many years, and the attacks from various countries in the Western Regions were more murderous than the others present, and he also had a murderous aura about him.
"Then I will make the decision for my brother. After we capture Lingling County, we will send our troops north to help Brother Bofu conquer Jiangxia Huangzu."
"Okay, if that's the case, when will we start attacking?"
Cao Cao raised the most critical issue, the timing of the attack. They must grasp the time to attack at the same time, without giving Jingzhou any time to breathe. Only by capturing Jingzhou as quickly as possible can Liu Bei's support be eliminated. What's more, Liu Bei and Liu Qi will not be allowed to cooperate with each other, causing them to be unable to attack for a long time.
"A few days ago, Liu Bei passed by Yangzhou and headed for Yuzhang County. I think that after Liu Bei leaves Yuzhang County, we can start the attack. By then, we can ensure that Liu Bei will not assist and also ensure that they are on alert. Heart is low.”
"Liu Bei went to Yuzhang County? What did he do?"
Cao Cao was a little confused. What was Liu Bei doing there? Since the last time Liu Bei was unreasonable in Xudu, Cao Cao would be suspicious of Liu Bei's unreasonable actions. Even if they were in line with common sense, Cao Cao would pay more attention, for fear that Wherever he didn't notice, Liu Bei dug a hole again.
