Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 175 It's Time to Say Goodbye to Meng De
Chenliu County, inside the city's largest medical office.

When Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Xun You arrived, there were already many typhoid patients lying here, and the whole lobby was desolate.

Without hesitation, Cao Cao walked directly to the back hall under the guidance of Xun Yu. There was a side room there, and the person lying in it was Xi Zhicai who was terminally ill with typhoid fever...

Hearing that Xi Zhicai was suffering from this terminal illness, Xiahou Dun, who had a good personal relationship with him on weekdays, had already guarded in the wing room.

The onset of typhoid fever is slow, but every moment the patient will be extremely painful. Xiahou Dun wants to accompany Xi Zhicai through this most painful moment in his life!
When Cao Cao walked to the door, Xi Zhicai was discussing something with Xiahou Dun.

"A bird can choose a tree, but how can a tree choose a bird? If you stay with the master, you will benefit from the master... Ahem, General Xiahou, you don't understand me!"

"Ximou can assist the Ming Lord in this life, from one end to the end, even if it is only one year, it has fulfilled Ximou's long-cherished wish in life. Spring silkworms die, wax torches turn to ashes, I will do my best in this life, only hate ...only hate..."

Vicissitudes, mournful voice...

This voice reached Cao Cao's ears...

His footsteps stopped, and he seemed to have received [-] points of critical damage in his heart. When Xuzhou was conquered, he knew that Xi Zhicai was not in good health, but he was still the first one in the barracks to get up every day.

When soldiers patrol the night, they can always find that the candles in the military division's tent are usually extinguished in the middle of the night.

There were even many times when Cao Cao heard that Xi Zhicai was still up, and personally rushed to his big tent to extinguish the candles for him.

Every moment, he seems to be thinking about...

Thinking about breaking the city, thinking about the battlefield, every flaw in the plan, often a battle, he will repeatedly deduce it in his mind more than 100 times in advance, and he has made at least three different sets of reactions for each enemy's reaction. Emergency plan.

And this contributed to his unbelievably sharp reflexes before the battle.

In many cases, Cao Cao has the confidence in his heart when he is ready to fight!

How will one's own side fight, and where should the focus be?Where is the difficulty?
How will the enemy fight?Where is the change...

It's all hidden in the mind of military adviser Xi Zhicai.

Before a battle has been fought, Xi Zhicai has often reached the last step...

And this is what Cao Cao admires the most.

For this reason, during the process of conquering Xuzhou, Cao Cao and him lived together almost day and night, and the conversation between the two of them was not limited to the gains and losses of one city and one place...

They chatted all over the world, about the current situation, about a certain character, and even talked about other people's wives in Xuzhou City!

best friend...

It can be said that in Cao Ying...

Except for those clan brothers, Xi Zhi was the first person who made Cao Cao feel as if he was a close friend.

And... now, my best friend is terminally ill, and will soon leave this world.

Thinking of this, Xi Zhicai's voice came from inside the room.

"General Xiahou, in fact... Ximou, Ximou also has hatred..."

"I hate that I can't drag this sick body to complete the lord's great cause, I hate that I can't...cough cough...can no longer offer advice to the lord, and I hate...I hate to say goodbye to Meng De! But...but..."

As Xi Zhicai spoke, he had already started to cough uncontrollably. Even through a door, Cao Cao could feel the weakness of his body.

"Zhicai..." Cao Cao couldn't bear to step into it anymore, and held Xi Zhicai's hands tightly with both hands, and what Cao Cao felt was the coldness of his body, the sudden drop in temperature cold.

"Zhicai... you have suffered!"

Empathize with what Xi Zhicai is suffering, Cao Cao suffers as much as him...

Maybe this... is the unique friendship between Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai.

...

"Cao Gong, Cao Gong..." Xi Zhicai tried hard to support his body, but...he still had no strength, even so, he subconsciously said: "Cao Gong...I...I'm just suffering from wind and cold, rest for a few days That's good, that's good...Go west to Luo...Luoyang? How's it going?"

Compared with Cai Cai's voice just now, Xi Zhicai's voice is as thin as a gossamer. It is obvious that his body is going downhill.

But even so, Xi Zhicai always told everyone not to tell Cao Cao!
Even... now, what he is most worried about is the process of going west to Luoyang.

Perhaps...at the moment of illness, Xi Zhicai had already figured it out, since it was destined to happen, so he should learn to accept it all.

Can…

From Cao Cao's expression, Xi Zhi could tell that Wen Ruo... didn't listen to him and told Cao Cao the real illness.

"what…"

Xi Zhicai managed to squeeze out a smile. "Mr. Cao always likes to laugh, why... is he so frowning today? Will Mr. Cao still cry? Ah..."

At a time like this, Xi Zhicai... even made a joke.

"Zhicai, don't think too much, rest assured to recover from illness!" Holding Xi Zhicai's hand a little harder, Cao Cao was really afraid that he would never see him again.

"Haha...it's okay, Duke Cao doesn't have to worry about me." Xi Zhicai's voice continued. "My life is not in vain by assisting you by your side and accompanying you. If a scholar dies for his confidant, what regrets do we have? These are all predestined by the heavens!"

Having said this, Xi Zhi raised his head and took a deep look at Xun Yu.

"Wen Ruo..."

"Zhicai..." Hearing this, Xun Yu took a step forward, and tightly held Xi Zhicai's hand.

Xi Zhicai continued: "What I told Wen Ruo, Wen Ruo has to remember... I can't give advice for the lord, then... it's up to him, plan a strategy, win a thousand miles, Feng Xiao... Feng Xiao beats me ten times Times!"

Xi Zhicai is very aware of his body, the coldness in his body is rapidly spreading to his internal organs, and soon...he will be too cold to speak, and his head will faint due to the scorching heat, leaving behind His time is running out.

Entrustment... is the last entrustment.

"Okay...ok..." Xun Yu's voice was full of trembling, and he muttered the eight words: "As you told me, Zhi... Zhi will not die, Guo... Guo..."

He wanted to say that Zhicai will never die, and Guo Jia will not come out...but after all, he couldn't get out of his mouth, and he was already sobbing.

It is an agreement between Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia that Zhicai will not die and Guo Jia will not leave when they were young, and this agreement is witnessed by Xun Yu, who is also a talented person in Yingchuan.

"Okay..." Xi Zhicai turned his head and looked back at Cao Cao again. "Fate is hard to change, Meng De...Meng De doesn't have to be sad, I... I just follow the fate."

"It's time to say goodbye to Meng De... let's go, Meng De, you have to go, you still have a lot of important things to do, here... cough cough... just leave me alone! Let me come quietly, quietly leave!"

"Wen Ruo is here, Feng Xiao is here, and... Lu Gongcao is here, I... I left with peace of mind, very... very down-to-earth!"

farewell?

Cao Cao knew what Xi Zhicai was thinking.

Suffering from typhoid fever...every moment is more painful, more uncomfortable, more tormented than the last...

Zhicai, he...he wanted to keep the image of "planning and planning, whipping Yu Nei" in Cao Cao's heart, without revealing his weakest side.

From beginning to end, he was a strong man.

Cao Cao was silent, he stared at Xi Zhicai for the last time, turned around, and walked towards the door with extremely low steps...

Everyone left tacitly!

Quietly, Xi Zhi just wanted to quietly end his flashing and brilliant life.

walk to the door...

With a "bang", Cao Cao's fist slammed on the wall of the medical office, and with a bang, a loud muffled sound resounded throughout the back hall.

Some people who were also suffering from typhoid fever... looked at Cao Cao.

But with just one glance, they lowered their heads again...

There is not much time left for them.

"Damn it!" Cao Cao was rarely furious...

At this moment, he thought of every day, God!
But...but...this damned weather will not be changed because of his anger!
Helplessness... For a moment, an indescribable feeling of helplessness swept over her body.

Pain, Cao Cao is more painful than every terminally ill typhoid patient.

He closed his eyes tightly...

But at the moment when he closed his eyes, the image of when Xi Zhicai met him in the past is still vivid in his memory.

Cao Cao remembered that Yu'er first told him...there is a mastermind among the talents of Yingchuan...coming soon.

Then... Xun Yu recommended Xi Zhicai to Cao Cao. That night, even if the two discussed the art of war, it was also that night that Cao Cao admired Xi Zhicai's military skills.

Cao Cao will never forget... At the end of that night, Xi Zhicai knelt in front of him, and the words in his mouth were particularly sonorous.

——"A scholar dies for his confidant, and he is highly regarded by the lord. I will do my best, and I will do my best!"

And just now, in front of the door, Cao Cao heard the conversation between Xi Zhicai and Xiahou Dun.

——"I hate that I can't drag this sick body to complete the lord's great cause, I hate that I can no longer offer advice and suggestions to the lord in the future, and I hate...I hate to say goodbye to Meng De!"

Meng De?Cao Cao likes Ting Zhicai to call him that... yes, they are more like close friends than master and slave, more like brothers!
When thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes were already filled with tears.

"Where is the medical officer? Medical officer! Where! Where is it!"

Roaring shouts...

"Mr. Cao!" Several medical officers hurried over...

"At all costs, no matter what precious medicinal materials are used, we must... definitely let Zhicai..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused for a moment. He wanted to say that Zhicai must be cured, but... even he himself did not believe this nonsense. Typhoid fever is a terminal illness. How can it be cured?
"As far as possible...to relieve Zhicai's pain as much as possible? You...do you understand?"

In a word...

The medical officer nodded heavily, but remained silent. In fact...even if it was to relieve the pain, with his medical skills, he...couldn't do it.

Having said that, in the face of this terminal typhoid fever... Who else is there in the world?Can it be done?

"Big brother..."

At this moment, a vigorous voice came from Cao Cao's side.

It was Xiahou Dun's voice. Before Cao Cao could reply, Xiahou Dun's voice continued to come out. "Perhaps... maybe the typhoid fever of the military division can be cured... also... maybe!"

ah... ah...

As soon as this remark came out, let alone Cao Cao, even the medical officers were dumbfounded and stunned.

General Xiahou doesn't understand medicine...how can he talk nonsense?
"General Xiahou, Xi Junshi is suffering from typhoid fever...not wind-cold syndrome!"

The medical officer replied, the meaning is very clear, dammit... don't use your spare time to challenge me to eat, okay, if you really say it can be cured, then... you can cure one, if you can cure this typhoid fever, The medical officer thought he dared to wash his hair upside down!

"The general is talking about typhoid fever, I'm not kidding you..."

Xiahou Dun retorted...

"Yuan Rang..."

Xiahou Dun's firm tone and inexplicable confidence really brought Cao Cao a glimmer of hope. Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "Yuan Rang? Can you cure this typhoid fever?"

Waving... Xiahou Dun waved his hands again and again. "I definitely can't..."

that…

Cao Cao frowned slightly, seeming to refute, but Xiahou Dun's words continued: "My second brother can be cured..."

Second brother?

What Cao Cao subconsciously thought of was Xia Houyuan, his clan brother, or Xia Houdun's own brother Xia Houlian...

But it’s not right, Xiahoudun would not use the title “Second Brother” when talking about them, but Miaocai, or Brother Lian… Then… who is the second brother?

and many more…

Cao Cao subconsciously thought of something, something that made Cao Cao scratch his head.

That's right, it was exactly five months ago... the brother Xiahou Dun and his eldest son Yu'er married Jinlan!

At that time, Cao Cao was almost crazy, but he was helpless!
Isn't the second brother that Yuan Rang is talking about...

Before Cao Cao was surprised, Xiahou Dun's voice came out one after another, but what he said next surprised Cao Cao even more.

"Brother, my second younger brother Lu Yu knows medical skills. In my opinion, not to mention these medical officials, even the famous Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing are willing to bow down to his medical skills!"

Huo... Yu'er knows medicine?

Cao Cao's eyes widened in vain, as big as a copper bell...

He felt that he had heard an unbelievable thing, Yu'er...how could she know medical skills?

Even if he is good at medicine, given his age, he can at most have a superficial knowledge, so it's not... so mysterious as Xiang Yuanrang said?
Also...Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing are willing to bow down!

You know...one of these two traveled among the people, and the other healed patients in Changsha County. The world called them "miracle doctors" and "medical saints" respectively!
In Dahan, anyone with the word "God" or "Sage" in their title is amazing!

And how old is Yu'er?Even if you have a photographic memory and read a few medical books, how many people can you actually heal?How could he... surpass those two in medical skills?
"Yuan Rang, don't talk nonsense!" Cao Cao's tone became a lot more dignified. If Xiahou Dun was not in front of him, he would have sent someone to pull down the army stick to serve him.

"Brother, I'm not talking nonsense!" Xiahou Dun scratched his head. "My second brother really knows medicine!"

"How do you know that?" Cao Cao asked back...

Xiahou Dun moved his mouth to Cao Cao's ear. "Brother knows it. Over the years... I have always had a feeling that my body has been hollowed out. I heard my second brother say that this is called 'kidney deficiency'. He...prescribed a prescription for me casually. I...my little one and I The brothers were all stunned, and then...all stood up!"

While talking, Xiahou Dun squeezed his kidney. "The me now is very fierce. My little concubine asked the doctor before because of me..."

Xiahou Dun originally wanted to say that it was because of my "vigorous miracles"... But when it came to this, Cao Cao directly called stop!
This... is too ridiculous.

Even if Lu Yu can cure kidney deficiency, but...typhoid fever is not kidney deficiency!
Cao Cao doesn't understand medicine, but he also knows...these are two completely different parts!

How can it be confused?

Cao Cao wanted to refute, but Xiahou Dun's tone became more solemn. "Brother, why don't you go to Cai's mansion? You can tell if it can be cured. I know my second brother best. Since he can cure my kidney, then...he can probably cure the typhoid fever of the military commander! "

Based on Xiahou Dun's understanding...

It seems that the difficulty of treating kidney deficiency is far greater than that of treating typhoid fever...

It’s no wonder Xia Houdun concluded that although there are many patients with typhoid fever, they are not as many as those with kidney deficiency. Taking Dragon Kingdom as an example, among all the hospitals, andrology and Tongji Hospital are particularly popular, and... very expensive!
Why do you know this, because the author has a friend...cough cough...you understand!
As the so-called ten kidneys and nine deficiencies, according to Xia Houdun's incomparably clear brain circuit, Lu Yu can cure kidney deficiency, then... surely curing typhoid fever is no longer a problem, right?
This…

Seeing Xiahou Dun being so determined, Cao Cao's "stop" that was about to blurt out immediately stopped.

Treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor... Let Yu'er try it anyway, besides, is there a worse ending?
Of course…

Even though he had such an idea, Cao Cao still didn't have much hope for "Yu'er can cure typhoid fever".

I can only do my best and obey the destiny!

"Yuan Rang, let's go to Lu Gongcao's place and ask." Cao Cao ordered immediately.

"Okay, okay!" Xiahou Dun hurriedly led the way.

Tapping.

The footsteps became farther and farther away, and soon, the two of them disappeared from everyone's eyes.

After Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun left, the medical officer was stunned.

He was too close to Cao Cao just now, so he really heard Xiahou Dun's words...

This…

He was a little puzzled.

This... can cure kidney deficiency?Is there any relationship between it and being able to cure typhoid fever?

Shaking his head, shaking his head like a rattle.

Despite General Xiahou's vows, he still feels that it's outrageous, it's outrageous!

"A layman...General Xiahou doesn't understand medicine, this is a layman guiding an expert!"

"Besides... Lu Gongcao? He... How old is he? Even if he has studied medicine, it's just a superficial... How can he cure typhoid fever? Isn't this a rush to the doctor?"

"Alas...why Mr. Cao...has started messing around with General Xiahou too. This...this typhoid fever has been an incurable disease since ancient times. How can it be so easy to treat?"

At this moment... a bold idea reappeared in his mind.

If Lu Gongcao can cure typhoid fever, then he...will wash his hair upside down in this winter!

"Nonsense...nonsense!"

You Zi chattered endlessly in the mouth of the medical officer.

At this moment... Xun Yu and Xun You in the medical office looked at each other.

"Gongda, do you think Lu Gongcao can cure Zhicai?"

"I can't tell..." Xun You still maintained his usual cherishment of words. "It's just... but there will always be a lot of incredible things about Lu Gongcao! Uncle, what do you think?"

Heh...is it a miracle?
Xun Yu's eyes narrowed all of a sudden, Gong Da was right, the miracles that happened to this kid didn't happen once or twice!

This time... Will it be the same as before?

call…

Exhale gently, let alone... After Xun You's reminder, Xun You is full of expectations for Lu Yu's healing of Zhicai!In other words, this is the last straw they can grasp now!
