Chapter 404: Saving Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Hua Tuo's Disciples!

If Cao Cao, who was far away in Xudu, knew what Sun Jian did, he would probably be so angry that he would give Sun Jian a rice bowl on the spot and let him taste it.

Originally, Cao Cao had absolute self-confidence. With the help of the monks, even if he lost to Liu Bei, he shouldn't be too far behind. Because the monks are mercenaries, they not only enjoy the bonus from their own characteristics, but also their martial arts. The monk also has extremely high basic attributes, almost second only to third-rate generals.

After this calculation, each monk should be almost the same as Liu Bei's subordinates.

The fact is indeed this. Compared with the monks, the ordinary soldiers under Gu Rubing's command have almost the same combat power as the monks. Only the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, Qinglong School Swordsman, and Bai Jianbing have special transfers. Only soldiers can crush monks, but reality once again severely shattered Cao Cao's illusions.

Monks can indeed compete with Liu Bei's men, but not all of his men are monks. There are only 120,000 monks in total, and the rest are no match for Liu Bei's men.

If it weren't for the 220,000 troops that Cao Cao borrowed from the Western Regions, I'm afraid Cao Cao would have been defeated by now. The reason why Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and Xu Huang are still locked in a stalemate with the men commanded by Zhuge Liang, regardless of victory or defeat. The main reason is because he has more troops.

But now, first Dian Wei was seriously injured, the northern defense line of Nanyang County in Jingzhou was broken, then Xu Chu was seriously injured, the southern defense line of Yuzhou was broken, and Zhang Liao led 800 cavalry to break through the encirclement, and the Xuzhou-Yangzhou border defense line was broken. So far, There is only one Cao Zhen left who is stubbornly resisting.

Cao Cao has also sent Cao Zhen an order to withdraw his troops. There is no doubt that his losses in this war are the greatest, but his gains are the smallest. Half of the Nanjun that was originally discussed has not yet been captured by Liu Zhang. There is also Jiangxia County that is to be divided, but it has not been captured yet, which makes Cao Cao somewhat lost.

In addition, both Dian, Wei, and Xu Chu were seriously injured and dying. Cao Cao would never allow other generals under his command to have something like this happen again, otherwise he would really be in a situation where no one could use him.

The joy of Xu Chu and Xia Houdun being promoted to famous generals was diluted by the news that Dian Wei and Xu Chu were seriously injured. However, the only thing that made Cao Cao happy was that Xia Houyuan was finally promoted to famous generals. Now that Cao Cao has five generals, the number of famous generals is as high as Gu Compared with Ru Bing, it is not bad at all, or even worse.

It's just that it's still early for Cao Cao's subordinates to be promoted to legendary generals. At this point, Guan Yu crushes all generals. In fact, if Lu Bu came to rely on Gu Rubing and Gu Rubing didn't refuse, then the first legendary general would be , it should be Lu Bu. You must know that Lu Bu's starting level is a famous general. Under Gu Rubing's command, he may have been promoted to a legendary general long ago.

This is also the reason why Ding Yuan was the first one to be praised by netizens as a good player. After all, there was such a peerless warrior. In the end, not only did he not make any achievements, he even had his head taken off by this peerless warrior himself. , became a pledge to defect to Dong Zhuo. It’s no wonder that netizens scolded Ding Yuan for not living up to his expectations, thinking that he was a good hand with a good hand. After all, this kind of start, compared with Gu Rubing, it is simply a paradise and a hell. .

Cao Cao has already suffered heavy losses, and he can't think about what Sun Jian and the others will do after he withdraws his troops. Now Cao Cao's mind is full of how to preserve his own strength and how to cure Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

Although Cao Cao now has five famous generals under his command, the ones who can really fight Zhang Fei and others for several rounds are none other than SARS Wei and Xu Chu. Both of them are solid military generals, and they are slightly inferior in leading troops. It is precisely in this way that they can still compete with a peerless general like Zhang Fei even though their bonuses in various aspects are not as good as those of Gu Rubing.

"Prime Minister, the injuries of General Dian and General Xu are too serious. Please forgive me for my incompetence."

An old doctor who was called over by Cao Cao from the imperial hospital knelt tremblingly on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Who doesn't know that Dian Wei and Xu Chu are both Cao Cao's favorite generals? He treated their injuries in the stall and they were cured." Fortunately, there are gold, silver and jewels, promotions and titles, but if it can't be cured, it will be considered a good thing if the person is dead, otherwise it will be punished by the Nine Clan.

"Ah——! Waste! A bunch of waste! Go and find someone for me. If you can't cure them, you won't be alive anymore!"

Cao Cao sat on the edge of the bed and roared loudly, and then looked coldly at the old doctor kneeling in front of him. He was the number one doctor in the Imperial Hospital. Even Liu Xie would come to him for diagnosis and treatment when he had headaches and fever. This highly respected old doctor The imperial doctor was trembling and kneeling at Cao Cao's feet, waiting for Cao Cao's words.

After a while, all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital were called over. All the imperial doctors gathered together, but facing the injuries of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, they all had no choice but to line up one by one and kneel down. In front of Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, please forgive me. The injuries of the two generals have spread all over their internal organs. Their internal organs have been damaged. We are really helpless."

"Trash, even worse than trash, why do you still keep the truth in your hospital? Pull them down and kill them all!"

Cao Cao did not yell angrily, but just waved his hand to Xu Huang beside him, signaling Xu Huang to pull him down and kill him. At this critical moment, the number one doctor of the Taiyuan Hospital, the old doctor who was already 60 years old, Suddenly spoke.

"Prime Minister, I have thought of a way to treat the two generals."

"Huh? Tell me quickly, what can I do?"

Cao Cao stood up, walked quickly to the old doctor, and helped him up. Facing Cao Cao's sudden U-turn, the old doctor seemed a little frightened. He knew that Cao Cao was doing it because he said he had a way to cure Dian. It was only Wei and Wei who changed their attitude towards him. If he could not be cured, what awaited him would be the execution of the Nine Clan.

"When I traveled to Pei State, I once learned medical skills from a man named Hua Tuo. Although he was young, his medical skills were superb. Even if he was several decades ago, my current medical skills cannot match him. Comparable.”

"I know the truth, but Hua Tuo has already joined Liu Bei's army. Could it be that just because of your master-disciple relationship, you can make him switch to my army?"

Cao Cao asked with some doubts. He was not worried about whether Hua Tuo could cure the two of them. After all, Hua Tuo's reputation as a miracle doctor had been spread throughout the world. Cao Cao was worried about whether the old doctor could rely on this meager master-disciple relationship to heal the two of them. Invite Hua Tuo here, even if he doesn't surrender to him, as long as he can come. Once he comes, it is not up to him to decide whether he can leave.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, the old doctor quickly shook his head.

"The prime minister misunderstood. The old minister did not mean to invite the miracle doctor Hua Tuo, but one of Hua Tuo's personal disciples. He was the teacher at that time and taught the old minister many medical skills. After so many years, that person's medical skills must be It’s even more superb, and it shouldn’t be a problem to cure the two generals.”

"Where is that person?"

"Right now, I'm sitting in a medicine shop in Xuducheng."

"What's your name?"

"My surname is Wu Mingpu."

"Okay, as long as he can cure Dian Wei and Zhong Kang, the truth will be forgotten and spare your lives."

Cao Cao turned his hand and waved his sleeves to signal the imperial doctors to leave, and at the same time said to Xu Huang beside him.

"Gongming, please go and bring the Wu Pu he mentioned to the palace. Make sure there is no mistake."

"I will obey your orders!"

Xu Huang immediately turned around and left, not daring to delay even a moment. He picked up the old doctor and walked out of the house. After they had already walked out of the house, Cao Cao's voice came from behind again.

"Go back quickly!"

After hearing this, Xu Huang immediately quickened his pace, put the old doctor on his horse, then got on his horse, ignoring the guards at the palace gate, and rushed out of the palace gate.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Xu Huang returned with one person and the old doctor. Cao Cao was waiting anxiously at the door of the house. After seeing Xu Huang come in, he hurried forward.

"Are you Wu Pu, the direct disciple of the miracle doctor Hua Tuo?"

"I don't dare. I just studied medicine with my teacher for several years. I can't be called a direct disciple."

The visitor was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, the kind of ordinary person you wouldn't find in the crowd. He didn't have any introverted temperament, and he didn't look like a miracle doctor at all. He looked at Cao Cao with his appraising eyes. , Wu Pu has no stage fright at all.

"I heard that the Prime Minister asked me to come to the palace so that I can help treat the two injured people. Can I see the injured person first?"

Only then did Cao Cao realize that his actions were inappropriate and nodded immediately.

"Excuse me, sir, please come this way."

Cao Cao led the way and led Wu Pu into the house. When he saw the two people lying on the hospital bed, his face looked like an ancient well. There was a trace of surprise on Wu Pu's face, which was calm.

"How could it be so badly injured?"

Wu Pu said, stepped forward and took Dian Wei's pulse. After a long time, Wu Pu put down Dian Wei's arm, turned and walked to Xu Chu's side, and then took Xu Chu's pulse. After another period of time, Wu Pu stood up. .

"Fortunately, he was still saved."

"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"

Cao Cao stood up excitedly, his words full of joy.

"Seriously, it's just that to heal the two people's internal injuries, you still need some main medicine."

"What main medicine?"

"Nine-leaf snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, eight leaves are also acceptable, only two leaves are enough."

"Okay, no problem, I'll send someone to the Western Region to get it now!"

Cao Cao agreed immediately. After all, he happened to have contacts with the Western Regions. It was not difficult to find a Tianshan Snow Lotus. Wu Pu shook his head.

"No, it's too late. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for such a long time."

Wu Pu frowned, and at this moment, a weak voice sounded from the side.

"Tianshan Snow Lotus? Is it this kind of thing?"

Xiahou Dun walked into the inner room and brought out a pot of something like a lotus flower. It was all white and clean.

"Let me see."

Wu Pu said, walked to Xiahou Dun and observed carefully.

"Yes, it is this kind, and it is the mature Nine-leaf Snow Lotus, the most powerful one."

Without the consent of the two, Wu Pu directly pulled off two leaves from the snow lotus, and then put them into the mouths of Dian Wei and Xu Chu respectively, letting them hold them. After doing this, Wu Pu turned around and drove Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun away. After leaving the house, only the few imperial doctors were left in the house.

Outside the house, Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun with some confusion and asked.

"Is this what you told me, a particularly beautiful flower?"

This was some time ago, when Xiahou Dun came back from the Western Regions, he brought a lot of things to Cao Cao in big and small bags. Cao Cao didn't bother to look at them. After all, with Xiahou Dun's aesthetics, he couldn't bring anything interesting. According to Cao Cao's needs, besides The wife has no other needs, so one of them has no brains to give, and the other has no brains to accept. Tianshan Snow Lotus is one of them.

That was picked by the tomb-raider who Xiahou Dun brought to the Western Regions on Mount Nalantuo. As for whether it was wild or picked by the tomb-raider in the medicine garden of the Western Regions, there is no way to know.

At that time, the tomb-raider gave it to Xiahou Dun, who was never interested in these things. After returning, he gave it to Cao Cao, who was not interested either. So this priceless nine-leaf Tianshan snow lotus was placed in Cao Cao's room for several months, and Cao Cao didn't even notice that there was such a thing in his room.

"Well, I didn't know that this thing was medicine. When the kid gave it to me, he said it was a good thing, and I thought it was for health."

After saying that, Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Cao with a guilty conscience. The meaning of the words just now was self-evident. He gave it to Cao Cao to replenish his body. Cao Cao's body was considered very good, but there was only one aspect that was relatively deficient, that was the kidneys. Xiahou Dun gave him this, and the purpose was naturally very clear.

"Then why don't you let me see?"

Cao Cao was so angry that he laughed. Xiahou Dun also laughed and said something that made Cao Cao's eyes go dark.

"If I had told you earlier, you might not have it now."

Ignoring Xiahou Dun no longer, Cao Cao sat on the steps in front of the house. He waited for four hours, from noon to night. The lights in the house had been lit long ago. The food beside Cao Cao was cold and hot, hot and cold. After repeating this for more than ten times, the door was finally opened.

Wu Pu walked out of the house. In addition to surprise, his calm face finally showed a second expression, a hint of joy.

"Prime Minister, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission. The internal injuries of the two generals are no longer serious, but they still need to be well recuperated. They must not go to the battlefield again in a short time."

Hearing this, Cao Cao finally felt relieved. Dian Wei and Xu Chu were not only extremely powerful, but also loyal to him. If Cao Cao lost these two generals at the same time, his strength might decline a lot, especially no one could compete with Zhang Fei and others.

As for Guan Yu? Cao Cao felt a little apprehensive when he thought of the man standing at the scene who seemed to be standing tall and proud. He was sure that if Guan Yu wanted to kill him at that time, not to mention Dian Wei alone, even if Xiahou Dun and all other soldiers and generals were added, they would not be able to stop him.

Cao Cao soon figured out why he didn't do it. He probably wanted to repay his previous kindness to him and cut off all ties with him. This time Guan Yu let him go, but the next time they met, Guan Yu probably wouldn't think of the old friendship and let him go.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao no longer loved talents. To love talents, it was necessary to do so on the premise that the other party was not a threat to him. If the other party could kill him at will, then he would still love Hammer Money.
