The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 409
On the south bank of Zhangshui River, it is four quarters of the ugly hour (2 o'clock in the middle of the night).

The surroundings of the six camps on the south bank were all lit up with lights, and groups of Yellow Turban soldiers, led by their respective officers, stood on the camp walls with weapons in hand.

At the gates of each battalion, there stood several eagle wolf guard cavalry wearing black clothes and leather armor. They held the goose feather swords on their waists and stared at everything around them.

To the south of the six camps, a large area of ​​flames gathered in the south, enclosing the six camps.

Under the light of the fire, a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers covering their mouths and noses with yellow scarves are quickly building fortifications such as fences, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army holding bows and crossbows are vigilantly observing the situation in the dark.

Xu He tightened his battle robe on the iron armor, and the night wind by the bank of Zhangshui became more and more eager.

"Is it all arranged properly?"

When Xu He saw his lieutenant coming over on horseback, he also led his horse to meet him.

When the deputy general heard Xu He's question, he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly replied: "It's all right, our cavalry has dispersed, and the six camps on the south bank have also set up defenses on three sides. There is absolutely no way for people in the camp to escape. our sight."

"The patrol team has already set off. Some of the people resettled in the gathering place were awakened, and they have calmed down quickly. They are still under control. A few people with cough symptoms have been sent to the wounded camp by us. The gathering places where they are located are also listed as high-risk gathering places by us, and soldiers have been sent to block them all."

Xu He nodded, calming down a bit. Fortunately, the epidemic was discovered in time and did not completely get out of control. This is a blessing in misfortune.

"Order the entire army to shoot and kill anyone who attacks the defense line immediately. Don't show any mercy. If the disease patients are allowed to escape, more people will die due to the disease."

A stern look flashed in Xu He's eyes, and extraordinary measures must be used at extreme times.

"call out----"

The sharp whistle sound is very obvious on the open plain, and it sounds at night, which is more noticeable.

Xu He turned his head, and there was a group of soldiers gathering not far away, and behind the group were several carriages loaded with goods.

Those soldiers were dressed differently from ordinary soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army. They wore khaki Taoist robes, and they carried medicine boxes instead of weapons. Reserve herbs in.

An old talisman wearing a Taoist robe and holding a nine-segment staff walked slowly towards Xu He, and finally stopped at a place about seven or eight steps away from Xu He. The Fu Zhu heading to the South Bank camp has all assembled, a total of sixty-seven people, the general has other orders, if there is no order, I will set off for the South Bank camp soon."

When Xu He saw Old Fu Zhu approaching, he didn't dare to hold him back and got off his horse.

"The epidemic is prevalent in the camp, and it is extremely dangerous. Lao Fu wishes you to be careful during this trip."

The old Fu saluted back and thanked, "Thank you General for your concern. Since I have no other orders, then I will set off on the road later."

After saying that, the old Fu Zhu didn't have the slightest intention of staying, turned around and left.

A group of sixty-seven people, following the sound of the bell, left the periphery slowly and headed for the camp on the south bank in the distance.

Xu He raised his head and looked to the north, his eyes looked beyond the sixty-seven Fu Zhu who were walking forward, and looked further away, which was the direction of the camp on the south bank of Zhangshui River.

Just like where he was, the camp on the south bank of Zhangshui was also lit up with countless flames, and the flames danced in Xu He's eyes.

They left their hometowns, crossed the Yellow River, and traveled thousands of miles. Thousands of people died on the road to Bingzhou, and now they were attacked by the epidemic.

Now Xu He has done everything he can.

"Huang Tian, ​​please bless us to tide over the difficulties..."

Xu He closed his eyes tightly, clutched his chest, and prayed to Huang Tian.

Do everything he can to obey the destiny, so far, the only thing he can do is to pray to Huang Tian.

……

In the first camp of the South Shore camp and the barracks in the second district, the lights were brightly lit.

Hua Tuo held a book bound with yellow paper in his hand, and read it with all his attention. He didn't even know that there were many other people in the tent until his medicine boy pushed him, and he didn't reacted.

When Hua Tuo raised his head, he realized that there were only him and the drug boy in the tent, but at some point four people in different costumes had squeezed in.

One person was wearing the eagle wolf guard costume, but different from the usual eagle wolf guard, the color of this person's clothes was ivory white, and there were two banner officers wearing wolf uniforms following him, one of them was Hua Tuo's acquaintance, It was Deng Xu, the flag officer he had met before, but the other person had no memory.

Hua Tuo also recognized the last general in armor, who was the head of the barracks here.

"Greetings to Shangguan, I was fascinated by reading for a while, I am so rude, please forgive me."

Hua Tuo noticed the people in the tent, stood up quickly, bowed to everyone, and said embarrassedly.

"Some of the methods written in this "Health Regulations" are really unheard of and unseen. After watching some of them, I really benefited a lot and made Shangguan laugh."

"Mr. Hua is serious."

After being polite for a while, Zhao Ji didn't beat around the bush, and asked straightforwardly.

"May I ask that Mr. Hua really has a solution to the epidemic!?"

In the camp, when everyone heard Zhao Ji's question, they also looked at Hua Tuo. Compared with this matter, other things are simply irrelevant. Now it is time for life and death. It's just a matter of indifference.

"Don't dare to lie to the superiors, I do have a solution to the epidemic, but only in the early stage of the epidemic."

Hua Tuo's face was serious, and he said solemnly.

"Typhoid fever is difficult to cure because of its many changes. Although I have known about it, I don't have many ways to solve it. However, I still have some experience in how to solve the symptoms in the early stage. If you get sick soon, [-]% of you The grasp of it makes it recover.”

After Hua Tuo finished speaking, he glanced at the pale-faced Zhao Ji, and suddenly walked up to Zhao Ji's side not far away.

Zhao Ji was a little surprised. Seeing Hua Tuo's actions, he quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Hua, don't go any further. I've already got the disease. Although I'm covering my mouth and nose with a face towel, I can't guarantee that I won't infect you."

"It's okay, I have already seen that Shangguan is suffering from the disease."

Hua Tuo sat down cross-legged, stretched out his fingers and said to the side.

"Sir, please sit down and let me take your pulse."

Zhao Ji saw Hua Tuo's confident look, and the hope that had disappeared in his heart reappeared. Although he had decided to die before, who would really want to die if he had the hope of life before him.

Even the most devout yellow angels, if they choose between life and death, if they can choose to live, they will choose to live.

Zhao Ji sat down and stretched out his hand to let Hua Tuo catch his own pulse.

Hua Tuo frowned slightly, carefully checked Zhao Ji's pulse, and then carefully observed Zhao Ji's complexion, asked about the general situation, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy look appeared on his face.

"Mr. Hua?"

Zhao Ji looked at Hua Tuo excitedly, and he saw the joy on Hua Tuo's face.

"It's more than enough, but it's not enough. Shangguan's pulse is a floating pulse. His symptoms include aversion to cold and body pain. This is a symptom of typhoid and sun disease. Shangguan should be infected with the disease for no more than three days. Shangguan has a strong physique and is not yet terminally ill. In between, it can still be healed."

Hua Tuo withdrew his hand, turned around and walked back to the desk, took a brush and wrote on the yellow paper, slowly began to write, and read at the same time.

"To treat typhoid and sun disease, you need to use ephedra soup, add four flavors, add nine liters of water, cook ephedra first, and subtract two liters..."

After finishing writing, Hua Tuo breathed a sigh of relief at the yellow paper on the desk and praised.

"I have been alive for more than forty years, and I have entered the age of [-], but I have never seen such a good paper that can make books and leave ink for thousands of years."

Hua Tuo raised the yellow paper in his hand, and after the ink had dried a bit, he handed it to Zhao Ji who was sitting on the ground, and instructed.

"There are a lot of patients under my doctor, and there is no medicine available in the medicine box. The Shangguan takes the medicine according to this prescription, takes it for a few days, and the disease will go away."

Zhao Ji stretched out his hands, tremblingly took the yellow paper from Hua Tuo's hand, looking at the prescription written in ink on the yellow paper, even his body trembled.

"Qianhu Zhao Ji, deputy of the Eagle Wolf Guard, thank the divine doctor for saving his life. This time the epidemic is eliminated, and the name of the divine doctor will surely spread among our Taiping Taoists."

Zhao Ji knelt on the ground, bowed solemnly to Hua Tuo, and kowtowed.

"No way, Zhao Qianhu please come up."

Hua Tuo stepped forward to support Zhao Ji and pulled him up from the ground.

"Healing the sick and saving lives is the duty of the doctor."

Hua Tuo supported Zhao Ji and spoke again.

"The prescription I gave to Zhao Qianhu is for the treatment of typhoid and sun disease. Among the sun diseases, there is another disease-"stroke". , sweating, bad wind, slow pulse, it is reported that the woman has been ill for five days..."

Hua Tuo shook his head and sighed.

"If you have a physique like Zhao Qianhu's, maybe five days is still safe, but according to that woman's physique, I'm afraid the typhoid fever has changed, and there is no way to save it, but I have a prescription for early-stage 'stroke'. After transcribing it, Zhao Qianhu can treat it according to the prescription."

Zhao Ji's eyes were slightly gloomy, but life is impermanent, the epidemic is prevalent, and it was originally a fatal situation, but now there is a glimmer of life. Even if everyone cannot be cured, it is already a surprise enough.

After Hua Tuo sat back at the desk, he held the brush again and began to write quickly on the yellow paper.

"Zhang Ji, you lead someone to copy the prescription in multiple copies, gather the medicinal materials, and cook the soup outside the barracks."

Zhao Ji untied the badge from his waist and handed it to Zhang Ji who was beside him. Without delay, Zhang Ji took Zhao Ji's badge and led away. A series of footsteps sounded, and the footsteps quickly faded away, and disappeared completely in less than a quarter of an hour.

And Hua Tuo also wrote the second prescription, Zhao Ji handed the prescription to Deng Xu, and Deng Xu quickly turned around and walked out of the camp to prepare for making the decoction.

In the camp, only Hua Tuo, Yao Tong, and Zhao Ji were left.

Zhao Ji saluted Hua Tuo again respectfully, and said sincerely.

"Thank you for the help of the divine doctor. If I hadn't met the divine doctor this time, I really don't know how many people will die due to the epidemic this time."

"Healing the sick and saving lives is the duty of a doctor. Zhao Qianhu really doesn't need to express his gratitude. When he was practicing medicine in the downstream, he also encountered Fu Zhu from the Taiping Dao. It’s also very respectful.”

Hua Tuo also returned a salute, saying seriously.

Physicians are benevolent, Hua Tuo studied medicine but did not seek an official career, and he did not accept the recruitment of him as an official by counties and counties.

It is precisely because of studying medical skills that Hua Tuo has seen the lives of the people at the bottom, and even seen the evil deeds committed by powerful families. It is precisely because of this that Hua Tuo refused to be recruited as an official after he succeeded in studying medicine, preferring to Holding the golden hoop bell, he ran around and practiced medicine in various places.

In the process of practicing medicine, he naturally came into contact with Taipingdao, which was developing rapidly at that time.

Those talismans, holding a nine-jointed staff and carrying a medicine box, also wandered in the countryside to treat diseases and save lives.

Although Hua Tuo doesn't believe in Taiping Dao, he doesn't have any other views on Taiping Dao. After all, Taiping Dao's talisman wishes are really curing diseases and saving people, and they are not heresy. Many teachings lead people to be good.

It was after the Yellow Turban Uprising that the Tao of Taiping was really banned in the world.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, when the yellow scarves in Sizhou revived, Hua Tuo was practicing medicine in Jibei State in Yanzhou.

After hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves from Henan, Yan, and Xu provinces flooded into Jibei Kingdom, Hua Tuo followed the Yellow Turbans all the way to Pingyuan County, and then crossed the Yellow River and arrived all the way through Qinghe County. Anping State in Jizhou.

Originally, Hua Tuo didn't want to go all the way to Bingzhou with the Yellow Turban Army from the four states. He had many opportunities to leave.

It is really not easy to manage a million-strong army, and it is difficult to find a few people who have little relationship with the rest.

But as the distance to Bingzhou got closer and closer, and listening to Fu Zhu's narration of life in Bingzhou, Hua Tuo also felt a little curious.

According to Fu Zhu's description, Bingzhou is a land of paradise, where there are no powerful landlords, no bully officials running rampant in the countryside, where the tillers have their fields, those who live in them have their houses, and those who work in them have their property.

On the way of migration, Hua Tuo also saw the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who were moving in the opposite direction from the people. He knew that the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were going to resist the following Han army.

None of the retrograde Yellow Turban soldiers were strong and healthy. Hua Tuo walked on the periphery. Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, smelling, asking, and feeling. He can see clearly.

Those soldiers were disheveled, skinny, barely covered with clothes, they were holding wooden guns, farming tools, and kitchen utensils, and there were very few soldiers with sharp knives. It might be more appropriate to call them soldiers or farmers.

It is really hard for Hua Tuo to imagine how these people defeated the Han army with full armor.

Countless people died along the road, but Hua Tuo was unable to do so. These are beyond the reach of a doctor. Many people died on the road due to long-term malnutrition and long-distance travel. disease.

Hua Tuo is just a doctor, he can only heal people, not the country.

After arriving in Anping Kingdom, when Hua Tuo saw the yellow scarf soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp knives, he began to give up the idea of ​​leaving.

Because he began to recognize what kind of people those people wearing yellow scarves, the Yellow Turban Army from Bingzhou, were.

Those talismans holding nine-stalked sticks came to the crowd and spared no effort to treat the wounded.

Those soldiers wearing yellow scarves will walk on the side of the road, leaving the easier main road for the transferred people.

Those soldiers wearing yellow scarves will step forward to help when they see people in difficulty, and give help as much as they can.

None of the soldiers wearing yellow scarves was arrogant or domineering.
