Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

Chinese medicine is magical.

Based on the harmony of yin and yang and the five elements, if the right medicine is often used, the yin and yang in the body can be quickly balanced, and the disease can be cured by the medicine.

This is like the relationship between husband and wife, where men are yang and women are yin. If one party is too strong and the other party is too weak, it will often lead to disharmony in the entire marriage and family, and even the inability to continue.

When both parties are "evenly matched", that is, when the 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 on him was nothing more than "Emergency Prescriptions", and this book was originally written in the 14th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Among the symptoms recorded in it, some are several times more severe than Zhang Zhongjing's "violent typhoid".

And in the Southern Song Dynasty...

A disease similar to Zhang Zhongjing's is actually not a big problem at all.

You need to know that the development of traditional Chinese medicine is a leap forward in every dynasty.

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

It’s not that the medical skills of Zhang Zhongjing and Bian Que were not good, but...the “extensiveness” of their medical skills and the “fineness” of medicinal materials could not reach the level of subsequent doctors.

At this time, Zhang Zhongjing's high fever had subsided. Although he was still weak in vision and hearing, he was better than every day in the past six months while lying in bed.

Originally, my stomach was empty, but now after eating a bowl of porridge, my whole body suddenly regained a lot of strength.

This is not considered recovery from a serious illness, it can only be said that the condition is getting better.

Even so, it made him feel like he had been reborn and was in particularly good spirits.

At this moment, Zhang Zhongjing was listening to his two disciples silently reciting "Emergency Prescriptions"...

He asked: "Is this the medical book written by the fourth son of the Guan family? Did you use the prescriptions in it to save my master?"

"Yes... and no." Du Du quickly replied: "It is indeed this prescription that saved my teacher, but... this prescription was not written by Guan Si Gongzi. According to him, he copied it from some mountain doctors. Coming..."

"A mountain healer?"

Zhang Zhongjing squinted his eyes... He didn't believe it.

At this moment, in addition to listening to the prescriptions to treat him, he also specially wrote down many strange prescriptions in "Emergency Prescriptions".

For example, stomachache...

The recipe is very simple, just drink black bean soup, vomit after drinking it, and you’ll be fine!

Another example is getting malaria.

The recipe is to put a spider into the rice and swallow it in one bite, or hold a rooster, which can get rid of all malaria.

There are also times when malaria attacks.

Hold a stone and stand by the water, then recite the incantation as quickly as a law, then throw the stone into the water and don't look back.

These…

It really has the flavor of a mountain man.

But... Zhu Yu is the first, and Zhang Zhongjing can recover, which shows that although the treatment methods of these wild doctors are incredible, they are not necessarily wrong.

Zhang Zhongjing became more and more fascinated as he listened.

After listening to "Emergency Prescriptions", he asked his disciples to recite "Thousands of Gold Prescriptions"...and then "Compendium of Materia Medica".

He didn't think anything about "Emergency Prescriptions", but as soon as "Thousands of Gold Prescriptions" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" came out, Zhang Zhongjing realized that something was wrong.

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

How could he be a mountain doctor?

And if you can collect all these together and write them all down silently, then how can the so-called Fourth Young Master Guan not be a medical master?

To take a step back, even if he is not a medical expert.

At least...he is also a pharmacy expert.

in this case…

This Fourth Young Master Guan is not only Zhang Zhongjing’s benefactor, but also a ‘Xinglin leader’ who is hidden from the world! ’

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongjing quickly ordered.

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

"Is the foster father going to rest?" Diao Chan asked hurriedly.

"You all should go and have a rest." Zhang Zhongjing said with emotion: "Tomorrow morning, you will take me to the city and take me to thank this Fourth Young Master Guan! Thank him for saving my life!"

"You also need to go and apologize to him together, especially...it's you, Hongchang! We in the apricot forest help the world and save others, but there are some rules that we need to remember. We must repay any kindness and repay any mistakes!"

Zhang Zhongjing looked at Diao Chan meaningfully.

Diao Chan nodded heavily, he knew...the adoptive father was referring to the beating of the "Dengwen Drum".

yes…

She really should make a proper apology to this Fourth Young Master Guan.

You know, the father of this Fourth Young Master Guan saved her fifteen years ago;

Now, fifteen years later, the Fourth Young Master Guan... saved her adoptive father again.

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

She, Diao Chan, should repay her for being a cow and a horse!

Diao Chan really made up her mind secretly, even if she was... a slave or a maid, even if she was a cow or a horse, she would... also want to repay this Fourth Young Master Guan!

…

…

Hanzhong, the main hall of the government office.

After calling for a long time, Cao Cao, who was killing people in his dream, was finally awakened from his sleep. His hair was tied up without a crown, 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.

"Show trouble!"

Cheng Yu anxiously submitted the military report, "Prime Minister, we have just received an urgent report. The Xiangfan Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were defeated, and the two generals Cao Ren and Cao Chun were assassinated. The information is extremely urgent..."

It seems that Cao Cao already knew about this.

Cao Hong hurriedly opened his mouth: "Brother, the purpose of Guan Yu's hidden arrows is to deceive eldest brother back, so as to relieve him of the danger in Shu. Brother, you must not be fooled!"

"That's right..." Cao Zhen also held up his hands and said: "Nowadays, people in Shu are panicking. Now is the opportunity to go south to attack Shu... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it! What's more, the Manfu Lord in Xiangyang City is still there, and the general Wenpin of Jiangxia is still there. , Niu Jin, the general under General Tianren, is also brave enough for thousands of men. General Lu Chang is even said to be "unable to defeat the enemy's country, and unable to invade the surrounding countries." With them here, even if General Cao Ren fainted, But 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, Xia Houyuan, Guo Huai and others all had serious expressions on their faces, as if... they were not willing to give up this great opportunity so easily.

Cao Cao did not give these generals more opportunities to express their opinions. He just raised his hand.

He sighed in a rather heavy tone:

——"People are suffering and not satisfied. Now that they have gained Long, they will look back to Shu."

With these words behind him, Cao Cao strode out of here.

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

"Why did the Prime Minister leave such a sentence: 'Now that we have gained Long, we will return to Shu'?"

"Is the Prime Minister going to leave Hanzhong and rush to Jingxiang to support him?"

"Not going south? Isn't this... a pity?"

Among the civil servants, there is an inconspicuous literary figure-Sima Yi, who is also standing 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 here.

At this moment, everyone was discussing. Jia Kui, who was about the same age as Sima Yi, asked him, "Zhongda, in your opinion, Prime Minister Cao left such a sentence: "Having gained Long, look back to Shuye", but he wants to give up going south and go to support. Xiangfan?"

Sima Yi shook his head, "Did the Prime Minister say you gave up going south?"

this…

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

Sima Yi raised his index finger to signal him to speak lower, but he just said lightly: "To figure out the prime minister's intentions... is the way to bring disaster. You and I should not bring disaster upon ourselves!"

"You...just like to show off." Jia Kui shook his head helplessly.

Sima Yi said calmly: "General Zihe and General Zixiao were assassinated. They died and fainted. On the surface, it looks like a disaster is coming, but blessings and disasters depend on each other. How can it not be a little bit just right!"

For a moment, Jia Kui seemed to be stunned by Sima Yi, and he looked completely confused.

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

——Will Prime Minister Cao give up heading south to Bashu and rush to Xiangfan?

…

…

Cao Cao was reading Man Chong's letter carefully.

When he read about side carriages, repeating crossbows, wooden oxen and stray horses, he was slightly surprised;

When he read that in order to seize these ordnance, Cao Chun sent troops to Sunset Valley and all the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were destroyed, his mood was even more intense.

I read that two generals, Cao Ren and Cao Chun, had a fight late at night. In the end, Cao Chun smashed the Lian Nu, and the hidden weapon in the Lian Nu was triggered. Cao Chun and Cao Ren died and the other fainted.

Cao Cao only felt a dull pain in his forehead.

With a "bang", he slammed Man Chong's letter on the ground.

He groaned out the name of the culprit.

"Huang Laoxie—this Huang Laoxie is a vicious scheme!"

"This time Zixiao and Zihe fell into the trap of Huang Laoxie. It's funny, Zixiao, he has been cautious and stubborn for several years, but he didn't want to...this time, he lost because of the word greed."

At this time, Cheng Yu explained beside Cao Cao: "From Hanzhong back to Xiangfan, there are two directions, land and water, and the distance is relatively long. If we follow the rules set by the Prime Minister to 'not take the night road', then..."

Before Cheng Yu could finish asking, Xu Chu came in and reported, "Prime Minister, General Xu Huang wants to see you."

Cao Cao looked up, his face extremely gloomy, "Pass!"

Xu Huang stepped in. Because of his anxiety, he even forgot to do the courtesy, "Is the Prime Minister going to Xiangfan?"

Cao Cao noticed his rudeness and frowned displeased.

"Um?"

Only then did Xu Huang wake up and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, "I will be disrespectful and I will pay my respects to the Prime Minister."

Cao Cao then asked calmly: "Who did you listen to?"

Xu Huang replied respectfully: "Did the Prime Minister say it himself, now that we have won Long, we will return to Shu? Now the whole military camp is spreading the word, and all the generals are in a mess, busy packing their baggage, and rushing to support Xiangfan together with the Prime Minister. "

Cheng Yu bowed: "What General Gongming said is true, the morale of the army is fluctuating!"

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, "You have learned to figure out Gu's thoughts. Gongming, go to each camp quickly to convey the order, and tell each camp to pack everything up. When Gu gives the order, the three armies will be sent to Jingxiang to fight to the death with Guan Yunchang."

this…

Xu Huang held up his hand, "I would like to ask you boldly, did all the soldiers who were good at mountain warfare secretly trained by me and General Junyi (Zhang He) during this period of time... were all in vain?"

The implication is that Xu Huang asked, is such a good opportunity really not going south?

Cao Cao replied coldly: "You didn't remember what I just said or didn't you understand?"

Xu Huang hurriedly bowed and stepped back, "I will remember this, I will retire!"

As Xu Huang exited the room, he muttered to himself in confusion, "What a failure, what a failure..."

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

"well--"

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

That time, Xu Chu led the two of them to a dilapidated room.

There is a map hanging high in the room.

Three roads leading south to Bashu are marked on the map.

The first Golden Bull Road, this road is named after the story of "Stone Cow Dung Gold, Five Ding Opened the Road" during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

If you want to reach Chengdu from Hanzhong, you need to first go to Baocheng, then Ningqiang, pass through Guangyuan, Zhaohua, Jianmen, Wulianzitong, Mianyang, Deyang and finally go south to Chengdu.

There are numerous passes and dangerous passes here.

The second is the Micang Road, which crosses the Nanjiang River and reaches Bazhong. The so-called "Bazhong" refers to Bazhong and Shu. This "Bazhong" is the most important place for grain storage and troops stationing northward in Shu.

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

Seeing these three roads…

Zhang He and Xu Huang roughly understood what was going on.

At this time, Cao Cao walked in quickly from outside the door. He saw Xu Huang and Zhang He and quickly ordered: "I want to take the middle of Shu, but the soldiers are not good at mountain warfare, so I can only rely on you two."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao pointed to Micang Road and Litchi on the map and said: "Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are bound to station heavy troops on the Golden Bull Road. It is extremely difficult to break through a sword pavilion, so... I plan to lead the army to the Golden Bull Road to confuse people. That big-eared thief, Gongming took the Micang Road, and Junyi took the litchi road! If Bazhong and Fuling are lost, then the big-eared thief in Shu will not be able to sit still!"

Xu Huang especially remembered how tyrannical and virtuous the Prime Minister was when he talked about going south.

At this moment, Xu Huang calmed down.

Flash forward... This was already three months ago.

For three months, he and Zhang He did not dare to neglect and trained the soldiers in mountain warfare every day. Now that the soldiers' mountain strategy has been successful, they are fully equipped to go south.

And...after hearing that Liu Bei entered Shu, Shu was in chaos and people's hearts were in a state of confusion. This was a good opportunity for him to go south!

But who would have thought...

But...but because of...because of a Xiangfan, because Cao Ren fainted after being assassinated, he was about to fall short!

"Alas... alas..."

Xu Huang stepped back and sighed.

Cao Cao thought and sneered, "Look, these warriors today are so blatantly trying to figure out Gu's thoughts."

Cheng Yu said cautiously, "If the Prime Minister intends to support Xiangfan, he should leave early to stabilize the morale of the troops in Hanzhong and Xiangfan and prevent their morale from fluctuating!"

Cao Cao glanced sideways at Cheng Yu, "When did I say that I wanted to leave for Xiangfan?"

"Ah..." Cheng Yu was startled, "Didn't the Prime Minister say, 'Now that we have won Long, we will return to Shu'?"

"Haha..." Cao Cao laughed heartily, "You all thought that Guhui would leave for Xiangfan. If so, then Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang would also think so. As a result, all the Shu army would be relaxed. In this way, a battle between Micang Road and Lizhi Road can be decided. Isn’t this a God-given opportunity to go south?”

this…

Cao Cao blurted out these words, and Cheng Yu was startled...

But soon, he realized it.

Prime Minister... is this "rescuing Xiangfan openly and going to Shuzhong secretly"?

This is a brilliant plan!

…

…

It was late at night, and under the warm yellow light, Zhuge Liang held Guan Yu's letter in his hand with a feather fan and turban.

Stepping on the bluestone ground as smooth as a mirror, he was walking slowly, thoughtfully.

The so-called - seeing the words is like being obscure.

Seeing the letter written by Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang seemed to see Yunchang himself.

——"Kong Ming is well. It has been three years since we were separated from Jingzhou. Yu is deeply moved. Thinking back to the past, my three brothers became sworn friends in Taoyuan and visited Mr. Yu's thatched cottage three times for eight years...Mr. Shui Jing once said, Wolong , Feng Chu, one person can conquer the world, and then because of his brother Li Xian Corporal, fortunately Mr. Shui Jing’s words came to him, and he got Mr. Wolong in Jingzhou..."

——"Kong Ming took the exam to teach Yun Qi. This was a blessing to the Guan family. This son was aloof and had a temper similar to Guan. What's more, when he answered the question, he was angry with Guan. Therefore, there was some prevarication and nonsense in the answer sheet. I hope Kong Ming Do not mind!"

The whole article is filled with hundreds of words.

Most of them are Guan Yu's praise of Zhuge Liang.

However, these are not the key points. The key point is the last sentence...the sentence where Guan Gong excused his son Yun Qi.

——"Yun Qi's answer is somewhat prevaricating and nonsense. I hope Kong Ming doesn't mind!"

this…

When he read this, Zhuge Liang paused slightly.

He was surprised. Is this something Guan Yu could say?

Guan Yu was arrogant all his life. Even in his previous correspondence with Zhuge Liang, the four characters "arrogant" were written between the lines. Even Zhuge Liang had to lower his stature.

But in this letter, his posture was so low.

Zhuge Liang couldn't imagine...

How much did Yun Chang think highly of this Fourth Young Master Guan, so that he could write such a letter that was "humble" to the core of his bones.

There is no pride or arrogance. This kind of Guan Gong makes Zhuge Liang feel at ease and relieved!

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

Yang Yi reminded, "Commander Zhuge has read General Guan's letter. Next, you might as well read Master Yunqi's answer sheet..."

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

He said calmly towards Yang Yi.

——"The test paper is dead, and it is one-sided to judge a person based only on the test questions. Mr. Wei, I am very curious... tell me your evaluation of this Mr. Guan Lin."

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 startled. He recalled the scene when he parted with Guan Yu in Jingzhou.

Guan Yu said at that time. "I'm not afraid that Yang Shangshu will laugh. My son's nonsensical answer sheet will definitely make Kong Ming think that this son is frivolous! However... Guan's son, I know best that Yun Qi is not frivolous, but he is too much like Guan... As aloof and arrogant as Guan, as stubborn as Guan."

And Yang Yi's answer was, "To be honest, I envy Mr. Yunqi, and I also envy Mr. Guan."

yes…

How could Yang Yi not see the luster of such a raw jade?

Immediately, Yang Yi's eyes flickered, "The military advisor really wants to listen?"

"really."

"Then, should the military advisor listen to the smart and astute side of Mr. Yunqi first? Or should he listen to his... rebellious and mischievous side?"

"Let's start with the naughty and rebellious ones." Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea.

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

"If we talk about this nonsense, it can be seen vividly in this answer sheet. It is also this answer sheet that caused tensions between father and son, and even caused Mr. Yunqi to speak fiercely to Guan Gong. The so-called 'lack of talent will lead to Too many plans, too little knowledge, too many worries, 'If too little power, too much anger, too little trust, too many words'... These words are not pleasant to hear!"

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

But Zhuge Liang was still surprised.

——"If you lack talent, you will be too resourceful; if you don't have enough knowledge, you will have too many worries." If there is insufficient power, there will be more anger; if there is insufficient trust, there will be too many words. 』

——'Yun Chang actually indulged this son to this point? 』

Zhuge Liang was about to see the mischievous and rebellious side of this "Master Yunqi".

at this time…

"——Report."

A guard reported: "Comment to the military advisor, there is an envoy from Jingzhou outside the door asking to see the military advisor?"

Well…

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

——"Wei Gong came here as soon as he arrived in Shuzhong. How could there be an envoy from Jingzhou?" 』

"Have you asked about your identity? Are you sure he is the envoy from Jingzhou?"

Zhuge Liang replied softly.

"Yes, Guan Gong's message." The guard said truthfully: "But this messenger said that he came to chase Yang Shangshu, saying that he wanted to recover a personal letter from Guan Gong."

Well…

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

An autographed letter from Guan Gong? Why do you want to recover it all of a sudden?

Yang Yi pondered.

——'Could it be that Mr. Yunqi made Guan Gong angry again? Is Guan Gong not going to intercede for him? This...can't be done! 』

Yang Yi shook her head.

Yang Yi deeply felt Guan Gong's "love" for Young Master Yun Qi. It was said that he hated her deeply, so it is no exaggeration to say that his love was deep.

how come?

Zhuge Liang was also a little surprised...and waved immediately.

"Call him in."

Never thought that it would be at this moment.

Another civil servant broke into the room and hesitated slightly when he saw Yang Yi there.

Zhuge Liang waved his hand, "Wei Gong is one of our own, but it doesn't matter."

The official said quickly: "Military advisor... I just received an urgent report from Xiangfan. Something happened in Xiangfan... 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 instantly, and he almost didn't believe what he heard.

Zhuge Liang was a cautious man. He quickly got up and asked the official.

"You...say it again!"

The clerk's words were chanted again.

——"Just... I just received the urgent report from Xiangfan. Something happened in Xiangfan. Cao Ren and Cao Chun were assassinated, Cao Chun died, and Cao Ren fainted! My lord... My lord has sent someone to ask the military advisor to go to General Zuo's mansion to discuss the matter!"

With a "gudong" sound, Zhuge Liang was so surprised that his chest heaved up and down.

——Assassinated!

——Cao Ren fainted, Cao Chun died...

Doesn't that mean that today's Xiangfan...has no leader?

this…

this…

How could Zhuge Liang not know what this means?

…

…
