Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 204 Wry smile
Zhong Yao smiled bitterly and said: "Zhongde, have you forgotten that we have just captured Xinye, and Xinye was the place where Liu Bei used to gather grain and govern. The people here support Liu Bei and regard him as his benefactor. Now the people in Xinye don't buy it at all. Our account will be considered good if we don’t stumble secretly!”

A few people were chatting, and unknowingly, the noise outside the tent gradually became louder, and a ray of morning sun replaced the moonlight of last night and projected into the tent.

"Mr. Cheng, there is a visitor outside the camp, claiming to be Mr.'s old friend and eager to see him!"

Outside the big tent, the captain guarding the city gently knocked on the tent door and whispered.

"Old friend?"

Cheng Yu, who had stayed up all night, did not feel sleepy at all. Instead, he became more energetic because of the news.

"I have no old acquaintance here. Could it be that he is Xu Du's friend?"

Cheng Yu made a guess in his mind and walked out of the tent.

Although his hometown was in Dong'a, Yanzhou, in the past, Prime Minister Cao was distressed and agitated due to the lack of food in the famine army, so Cheng Yu volunteered to lead his troops to go out to collect food and returned home fully loaded.

Later, someone discovered human flesh and blood bones in the grain and grass. It turned out that Cheng Yu directly led his troops to his hometown, killed countless villagers and elders, and made military rations to help Cao Cao tide over the difficulties!

It is precisely because of this incident that Cheng Yu and his hometown formed a sworn feud. Naturally, no friends from his hometown would come to visit him!
……

Xiahou Dun's swordsmen and axemen were about to push everyone out when three people walked in. The leader was Xun You, the military counselor, followed closely by Jia Xu and Zhong Yao.

At this time, Cao Pi slowly walked out of the inner hall, looking haggard, and lowered his voice and said: "Father just fell asleep in the inner room, but you are here shouting and disturbing the peace!"

"Who knows!"

Xiahou Dun's one-eyed man was ferocious, and his words contained a roar of despair, which made him even more murderous and terrifying!
"summer……"

Xiahou Dun was murderous by nature, and it was known to everyone that he massacred all the women and children of Fu Quan's family in the capital a month ago. When he said these words, several military advisors were so frightened that they fainted immediately!

"How is the Prime Minister's illness?"

The swordsmen and axemen swarmed forward and surrounded the dozen or so military doctors.

Xiahou Dun sneered: "So, you are all useless? If you stay for half a day longer, it will be a waste of half a day's food! Now our army is short of food and grass. Since you are useless, why not make you into army rations, which will be worthy of the cultivation of the Prime Minister in the past? "

Xiahou Dun was fully armored, leading thirty sword and axemen behind him, and pushed the door open menacingly.

In the lobby of Cao Cao's mansion.

"Have you researched any cure for the Prime Minister's illness?"

Xiahou Dun glared at the shrunken military doctors: "They are helpless losers. You can imagine that the Prime Minister is suffering from the headache day and night! I am about to push them out and kill them to vent my anger for the Prime Minister!"

Xun You drew back his sword and axe, took a few steps forward, looked at Xiahou Dun and asked.

"Wait a minute, do it!"

"General Xiahou, there is no breakthrough yet. If we can delay it for half a day... we will definitely be able to..."

An old military doctor with white eyebrows and white eyebrows, who had been fighting with Cao Cao for many years, took two steps forward and begged.

Xun You took a step forward, reached out and grabbed Cao Pi's sleeve, pulled it aside and asked in a low voice: "How is the prime minister's illness?"

Cao Pi shook his head, lowered his head, and said with tears in his eyes: "When I relapsed yesterday, I just complained of pain, and it hurt for half an hour every two hours. Since last night, my headaches have become more frequent, every hour. I have a faint headache for half an hour.”

"Besides... my father hasn't had enough water or rice since The Art of War. I'm really worried that his body won't be able to bear it..." Everyone was shocked!

Although the headache is torturous, I can barely bear it. After all, the prime minister's perseverance is amazing. But people are like iron rice or steel. If they lose both food and diet, they will definitely not last long!

"Sir..."

Xun You looked at Jia Xu and Zhong Yao, and they both nodded slowly.

"Now the Prime Minister is seriously ill and cannot govern, but the three armies are out and spending money day and night. We discussed this matter all night long. We want to take the Prime Minister to stop the army for the time being and return to Xudu first. It will be convenient for the Prime Minister to recover from his illness and we can come here. Take advantage of this opportunity to stock up on food and supplies. Once the prime minister recovers from his illness, there is nothing wrong with a second southern expedition."

"What did the unknown prince see?"

While they were talking, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, Cao Zhen and other generals also came to visit Prime Minister Cao's condition. After hearing what Xun You said, they all had the intention of withdrawing their troops and returning to the capital.

Only Sima Yi kept his head down and said nothing, standing quietly aside and looking at everyone coldly.

Cao Pi lowered his head, tears streaming down his face, and kept shaking his head.

I don't know whether he is grieving for his father's illness or disagreeing with Xun You's withdrawal.

But everyone saw his filial piety, and they were too embarrassed to ask him at this moment whether he agreed to withdraw from the army. Suddenly, the entire hall was filled with gloom, and negative emotions filled everyone's hearts.

"Prime Minister!"

"The Prime Minister has been saved!"

Just when everyone was silent and only Cao Pi was crying softly, Cheng Yu, who had never been seen before, walked in through the door, accompanied by a thin old man with a slight beard in a commoner robe.

This old man was only over five feet tall, but he had piercing eyes and a kind face. He looked like a fairy and had a strange and extraordinary look. There was a red wooden box hanging on his shoulder, and I didn't know what was in it.

"Zhongde? Where are you from, and who is he?"

Xiahou Dun was concerned about the safety of Prime Minister Cao, and would not let it go if he had the slightest chance. However, he was a rough man and spoke straightforwardly. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Yu's hand, pointing at the old man behind him and asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, how is the Prime Minister doing now?"

Cheng Yu didn't have time to elaborate to Xiahou Dun, so he broke free from his hand and turned to ask Cao Pi.

"It's getting worse and worse. Now it's hard to even speak..."

When Cao Pi saw the old man, he couldn't help but be startled. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the tears on his face, and said with sobs.

"It's okay! It's okay! My lord is alive!"

"As long as you don't die, there's still a lot to be done! Quickly lead my husband to check the Prime Minister's pulse!"

Cheng Yu raised his forehead with his hands, looked at the sky repeatedly to celebrate, and then urged with an anxious look on his face.

Xun You looked at the Qingqi old man. He was very friendly, but he couldn't remember who he was. He couldn't help but took two steps forward and came to Cheng Yu. He asked in a low voice: "I don't know where this elder is from." Miracle doctor?”

He could tell from the old man's clothes and the medicine box he was carrying that he must be a good doctor.

"The Prime Minister's life is only short, and it is important to save people first. It will not be too late to introduce him after the Prime Minister has been diagnosed and treated."
