Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 254 Talented
After hearing Yuan Xi's words, Guo Jia asked, "My lord, if we go to Yangzhou with all our troops, can we defeat Sun Ce?"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "I can't."

Guo Jia asked again, "If Liu Yao surrenders Wu County to the young master, can the young master keep it?"

Yuan Xi felt a little pricked, but still shook his head and said, "I can't."

He understood that his own strength was still too weak, and he couldn't even swallow these territories in front of him.

Guo Jia sneered and said: "The three parties joined forces that day, plus Cao Jun, to force Sun Ce to retreat in the end. Now we can't defeat Sun Ce based on our strength alone."

"What's more, he has Yuan Shu's other army to help him."

"Young master, this is a ten-year-old boy. If he wants to lift a hundred-jin heavy stone, if he still wants to plot against Yangzhou, he can only say that he is beyond his capabilities."

Yuan Xi deeply agreed, and said, "If that's the case, what about Liu Yao's proposal?"

Guo Jia said, "It's enough to delay and deal with it."

"Liu Yao is also the lord of a state with tens of thousands of soldiers. With the thousands of soldiers of the Guangling Army, you can't be compared with him. Naturally, he looks down on him and can't talk on an equal footing."

"Young master's advantage is that he can transport troops back and forth between Youzhou and Guangling, but his shortcomings are also obvious. The city of Guangling is not yet stable, and the surrounding cities are even more popular."

"It's indeed a coup for the young master to use the Chen Deng family system to gather the local gentry, but within a year and a half, I'm afraid we can only hide our strength and bide our time to gradually stabilize the situation in Guangling County."

"Although we can't cross the river, we can make some promises. If Liu Yao is in trouble, Guangling is willing to accept them."

Yuan Xi thought it was true, if he didn't rely on Chen Deng to buy off the local forces, he would not even be able to recruit soldiers.

He said: "Then what should we do after mastering Guangling?"

Guo Jia said: "We still need to control Jiangbei first."

"Whenever we can win Hefei, we can plan Jiangdong."

Yuan Xi turned to Tai Shici and said, "What do Ziyi think?"

Tai Shici heard this, and said: "Ci very much agrees with Mr. Wang's idea. The commander of our army is a cavalry soldier, and it is really not suitable for fighting on the big river."

"Now it's best to recruit troops on the spot and focus on training water warfare units."

Yuan Xi nodded, "That's the deal. We want to help Liu Yao, but we are powerless. We can only clean our house first."

"Since Liu Yao's envoy is rude, let him wait for a few days."

Several people laughed at the same time, seeing that the matter was over, Tai Shici wanted to get up and leave, Yuan Xi called him back and said, "I have already made an agreement with Mr. Yuanhua, Ziyi will go and see him when he has time."

Tai Shici heard this, and said nonchalantly, "Ci's body is still good, what's there to see?"

Yuan Xi thought to himself that your health is really good, why did you die so early?Immediately said: "Mr. Yuanhua is not an ordinary doctor, Ziyi better take a look."

Seeing Yuan Xi's insistence, Tai Shici had no choice but to agree.

He turned to Guo Jia, "Sir, remember to go too."

Yuan Xi was still not at ease, fearing that the two of them would prevaricate, he said, "Tomorrow I will personally take the two of you to see Mr. Yuan Hua."

Guo Jia heard this, and resentfully said: "Life and death are fate, if you really see something, won't it affect my mood?"

Both Tai Shici and Guo Jia didn't take it seriously, they were in their prime of life, and their lives were better than most people these years, so what could be wrong?
However, after Hua Tuo diagnosed and treated the two of them the next day, his face was a little dignified, and he said, "Neither of you is a sign of longevity."

When Tai Shici and Guo Jia heard this, disbelief appeared on their faces. They felt energetic all the time, and there was no sign of physical discomfort. How could they be so short-lived?

If Yuan Xi hadn't been around, they would have questioned it long ago.

Yuan Xi sighed in his heart, as expected, there was indeed a problem.

Seeing the dubious look of the two men, Hua Tuo first turned to Tai Shici and said, "The general has already suffered a lot of injuries in the battle."

"Especially between the chest and lungs, there are quite a lot of congested blood clots, blocking the meridians. If things go on like this, life will definitely be shortened."

Tai Shici was puzzled and said, "I haven't been injured, how could there be blood congestion?"

Hua Tuo thought for a while, "General, can I show this old man how to kill the enemy on the battlefield?"

After hearing this, Tai Shici got up immediately, picked up his double halberds, and walked into the courtyard.

One of his two short halberds weighs more than ten kilograms, which is quite heavy as a one-handed weapon.

Yuan Xi watched intently, he hadn't seen Tai Shici make a move for a long time, today is a good opportunity!
Tai Shici pointed his halberd at the sky and leveled his finger with his halberd. He made a posture, and suddenly parted his arms, and the two short halberds leaped like swimming dragons.

In the first few moves, Yuan Xi could still see the trajectory of the short halberd dancing, but Tai Shici's arms shook, and the trajectory instantly exploded into silver light all over the sky.

Accompanied by the whistling wind, two short halberds suddenly appeared around Tai Shici's body, appearing and disappearing for a moment, seeming to disappear for a moment, and appearing in another place the next moment!
Yuan Xi stared at Tai Shici's arm, and found that his muscles were knotted, as if he was going to tear his robe, obviously he had used his real skills.

But at the same time, he also noticed that there were patches of abnormal flushes on Tai Shici's face, and at the same time, Tai Shici's chest kept rising and falling, and when he took a big breath, his voice was like a bellows.

As the wind gradually shrieked, the silver light formed by the tip of the halberd had already enveloped Tai Shici's whole body like a hood.

Just when Yuan Xi thought it was about to end, the cover suddenly shattered the next moment, and the whistling wind stopped instantly!
Yuan Xi was facing Tai Shici at this moment, and found that at this moment, the surrounding scenery seemed to be dark, and only Tai Shici was left in front of his eyes.

This is an illusion, because Tai Shici is too conspicuous.

His arms swelled up a bit, his chest rose and fell several times in an instant, obviously he was breathing rapidly, the sound from his mouth was already whistling, and his face turned purple.

And the cover formed by the tips of the double halberds in his hand exploded like an explosion, and Yuan Xi couldn't even see where the halberd tips were, as if they had disappeared!
But Yuan Xi knew that Tai Shici increased the speed of the short halberd several times at this moment, to the point that it exceeded the limit of what his own vision could capture!

Following the thunderous explosion, strong winds appeared around Tai Shici, spread out around his body, and blew on everyone's faces, stabbing like winter wind knives, forcing everyone to retreat.

Only then did Tai Shici put his halberd back and stand still, his chest heaved continuously. At this moment, his body was a little bent, as if he had lost all strength.

Even if the people present did not understand martial arts, they also gave out loud applause at the same time. Taishi's kindness made everyone empathize with him!

Yuan Xi was dumbfounded and shocked. Is this Tai Shici's real strength?

It seems that after the battle with Sun Ce, Tai Shici's martial arts improved a lot!
However, he also noticed that Tai Shici's face was flushed red, and the blood remained unabated for a long time.

At this time Hua Tuo said: "That's it."

"The general's breathing method is extremely unique. It can quickly inhale and exhale a large amount of heaven and earth energy in a short period of time, so that the strength increases dramatically and the movements become faster."

"But the price is that the general's body can bear it, but his internal organs can't bear it. After this set, he has already suffered a lot of hidden injuries."

Hua Tuo asked Tai Shici to take off his shirt and sit down, and ordered his disciples to bring a set of gold needles. While speaking, he inserted more than a dozen needles into the acupuncture points on Tai Shici's chest, and then pulled out all of them with a shake of his hand.

Tai Shici only felt a sweet voice, and immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly felt his chest lighten, and the feeling of boredom disappeared.

When Hua Tuo saw it, he said, "If you don't spit it out in time, it will turn into congested blood, stagnate in the heart and lungs, and damage your body."

"Afterwards, I will prescribe medicine for you. Go back and recuperate your body first. Don't use your energy like this for ten and a half months."

Tai Shici respectfully said: "Sir, your medical skills are indeed superb!"

Hua Tuo sighed and said: "The way to preserve one's health lies in peace and harmony, but the battle formation is to kill and raise blood. The two run counter to each other."

Seeing Tai Shici's blushing slowly receding, Yuan Xi realized something in his heart, he suddenly remembered that although Guan Yu blushed in this life, it was far from the point where his face was as heavy as a jujube.

However, according to his memory of meeting Guan Yu several times, it seems that Guan Yu's face is getting darker and redder?

As Hua Tuo said, Guan Yu may also have a breathing method similar to Tai Shici's, which can suddenly improve his combat power, and it is unknown.

Tai Shici's method of inhaling and exploding suddenly hurt his heart and lungs, and his face would turn red when he started it. This may be the reason for his untimely death.

As for Guan Yu's method, although the blood congestion on the face is more obvious, maybe the heart and lung damage is less than Tai Shici's, so he can live longer?
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi advised Tai Shici: "Ziyi still has to be careful in the future, and it's better not to use this kind of method unless it is absolutely necessary."

Tai Shici bowed his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said with a smile: "When a man is born, he should carry a seven-foot sword to ascend to the rank of the Son of Heaven. Now that he has not fulfilled his ambition, how can he look forward and look backward!"

After hearing this, Hua Tuo sighed: "Everyone has his own ambitions. Since the general has this awareness, I won't say anything."

"But you can usually take medicine to recuperate, supplemented by Wu Qinxi, and it can relieve some hidden injuries to some extent."

After hearing this, Tai Shici clasped his fists in thanks and said, "Thank you sir."

Yuan Xi sighed inwardly, it seemed that Tai Shici had made up his mind, with his character, he would definitely not be afraid to face the enemy on the battlefield because of his health.

Hua Tuo called Guo Jia over to feel his pulse again. Guo Jia saw that Hua Tuo had real skills, so he was a little uneasy.

As a result, Hua Tuo checked Guo Jia's pulse with both hands in turn, looked at his tongue and pinched his body, asked Guo Jia's daily diet and work and rest habits, and asked Guo Jia to get up and do a few sets of movements. It was a lot of trouble.

Finally, after working for a long time, Hua Tuo returned to his seat and closed his eyes in silence.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "You"

"amazing."

Everyone was startled, what does Hua Tuo mean by this sentence?
Only then did Hua Tuo say, "Your physical condition has deteriorated worse than that of General Taishi."

"If this goes on, you're afraid that you will die soon."

After hearing this, Tai Shici lost his voice and said: "How is this possible? Could it be that Mr. Feng Xiao also practiced martial arts and hurt his body?"

Hua Tuo sighed: "Of course not, he knows kung fu."

"What the old man admires is that his body damage is far more than that of General Taishi who fought in the battle just because of his indulgence. He is really serious."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
