The great man will live forever

Chapter 288 The Prince sets off to the expedition

Before leaving for the expedition, Liu Xiu found Ayimei again.

"Why do you like him?"

Ayimei said calmly, "Smart, handsome, young, and a prince. How many women don't like him?"

She didn't see her parents being nervous at all. She lived several times as long as Liu Xiu, so she could be his great-grandmother.

Good guy, Liu Xiu was speechless for a moment.

After he was silent for a moment, he said tactfully, "The age gap between you and him is a bit big. You are a strange woman, so you are naturally worthy of him. Unfortunately, you were born at the wrong time, and people outside are talking about you. This is not good for him... …”

"I will kill anyone who treats him badly, and anyone who talks about him, I will kill him."

"What if it's everyone in the world? What about me?"

Ayimei didn't answer, but looked at Liu Xiu calmly. Liu Xiu saw the unhesitating persistence, fearless support and belief in his eyes.

"I won't be such a bad person anymore. I hope you are not acting on a whim. This time..."

Liu Xiu repeatedly urged her to take good care of Liu Han, "These are some strategies for marching and fighting that I wrote. You can give them to the prince and you can also read..."

He said, handing her what he had written.

Immediately, Liu Xiu called for Wang Ba, the governor of Shanggu, the Marquis of Huailing, Ma Cheng, the governor of Zhongshan, the Marquis of Quanjiao, and Jiantan, the minister of the Ministry of War of the Marquis of Hefei. These three people were all later one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, and they can be regarded as the only remaining ones. several generals.

Beauty has been like a famous general since ancient times, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair.

The generals under Liu Xiu had died a long time ago, some were injured, some were assassinated, some died of old age, some died of illness...

Liu Xiu lived longer among them. After all, except for the early stage, although he personally went to the battlefield later, he did not personally go to the battlefield to boost morale like those generals.

In the ancient cold weapon era, generals went to the battlefield in person, which had a great boost to morale. For example, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, generals dueled each other frequently.

Although it is not so exaggerated, many generals personally commanded the battles and even went to the battlefield to fight with swords and guns. However, they wore fully armed armors and charged like later generations sitting in tanks, so their safety was naturally much higher.

No matter how high the safety is, it will not last for many years, and there will be hidden injuries, which will cause great harm to the body.

Even if there are no hidden injuries, if you live for a long time, you may not be able to succeed and be killed early.

Liu Xiu came to them and gave them a lot of advice, asking them to take good care of the prince, and also expressed some of his thoughts.

"This time, we have to be prudent and work step by step. We are sure that they have not been defeated yet. Liu Dewang is still very capable. I have to say that the prince has foresight.

Be the best..."

Liu Xiu explained to them in detail how to fight this battle and how to march. The three of them also patted their chests and promised that even if they died, the prince would never be harmed.

Liu Han naturally knew about this news and seemed to be a little touched in his heart. It was good to have such a father.

Ayimei said with a smile: "It seems that he has a good feeling for you, and he trains you as his successor, but he doesn't know that you have fought more battles than him, and killed more people than him. If If he knows, he probably won't tell you this."

Liu Han smiled, "You still have to be careful, they are behind you."

"It's true. We're not afraid of them being upright, but we're afraid of their small tricks behind their backs. With thousands of years of experience, it's hard to guard against them."

"You are a thief if you are too old to die!"

Liu Han then went into the palace to meet his cheap mother. At this time, Guo Shengtong was still in the Beigong, a little deserted, but he also enjoyed fine clothes and fine food, and had no worries about food and clothing.

She had not yet learned about Guo Kuang's rebellion because Beigong was closed down many times, and she felt like she was under house arrest.

"Why did Huang'er come to see me today? Did you miss me?" She was very happy to see Liu Han coming.

"These are the clothes I made for you. Put them on and see if they suit you." She took out the embroidered clothes and gave them to Liu Han to try on.

"It's quite suitable." Liu Han wanted to refuse, but seeing his expectant eyes, he tried it on anyway.

"It's a bit big." Guo Shengtong circled around him several times, looking over and over again.

"It fits very well. It's not too big at all. My mother's craftsmanship is very good."

After hearing this, Guo Shengtong felt like he had eaten honey, but he still said reproachfully, "Nonsense, this is my first time doing it. What's good?"

"What mother does is good."

"Qiang'er's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."

Guo Shengtong pulled him and chatted wordlessly. The two chatted like this all morning, talking very happily. Finally, Liu Han said, "I'm going to go on an expedition."

She was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"There is a rebellion outside. I asked my father to go on an expedition. I will be leaving in a few days."

"Why is he willing to let you go to the battlefield and take those risks? What is he going to do? Does he want to dethrone you as the prince and make that bitch's child the prince?"

"Don't be excited, mother. It was my initiative. If nothing else happens, my father will not depose me..."

……

After some persuasion and assurance from Liu Han, Guo Shengtong did not constantly clamor to settle accounts with Liu Xiu, but instead gave him numerous instructions and tears to protect him on the battlefield.

Liu Han did not say that it was Guo Kuang who rebelled this time, but his uncle. He even strictly ordered people in the palace not to spread this matter, otherwise they would be executed.

After everything was settled, on June 20, the 6th year of Jianwu, Prince Liu Qiang led an army of 7 people and swore an expedition in Luoyang to attack the rebellion in Jizhou.

There was not so much wind and sunshine, it was just an ordinary day, but Liu Han didn't know that he would never come back after leaving. After all, he underestimated the human heart and human nature.

He led his army from the capital Luoyang and reached Hanoi County first.

Whether he was arranging troops, transporting food and grass, or marching, everything was perfect. It was not like it was the first time he fought. The three generals were very surprised.

Liu Han divided the army into five parts, the front army, the rear army, the left army, the right army, and the middle army. Each army had 10,000 people.

Before entering Jizhou, he began to arrange his troops.

"General Wang Ba will lead the front army to Wei County, directly to Wei, Fanyang, Yuancheng, Liangqi, Liyang, Pei, and Wushi counties to resolve the crisis in Yecheng. The thief and bandit Zhu Yao must be beheaded..."

"promise!"

"General Jiantan will lead the left army and set out from the southwest, bypassing Wei County and heading to Qinghe County. We must wipe out the rebels who rebelled against Qinghe County as soon as possible."

"promise!"

"General Ma Cheng, leading the right army, gathered the troops of the State of Zhao to encircle and suppress Song Hongwei, the prefect of Julu County. The Song and Yang families who had conspired together to rebel were killed without mercy. Julu was the top priority, and the city was not good. To attack, first destroy the surrounding area and try to lure the snake out of the hole..."

"promise!"

After these arrangements were made, Liu Han immediately asked Ayimei to lead the Chinese army, most of which were Youzhou cavalry, as fast as lightning, to support Zhending. He was afraid that Fatty Liu would not be able to support him.

Then he led the rear army towards Changshan County. As for Hejian County, he ignored it for the time being. This county was in the northeasternmost direction of Jizhou. As long as the rebellions in several other counties were resolved, it would be in his pocket.

I have to say that the elite are the elite, and they are indeed those who have been fighting and training all year round. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the imperial guards in the capital were definitely the most capable. They were just cutting melons and vegetables along the way, and good news came frequently.

However, when he was very happy, a huge change happened in Luoyang.

……

On the other side, outside Zhending City, Liu De could be said to be happy first and then sad, happy and sad at the same time, with so many threads.

At first, after five days of attacking Tianding City, he seemed very anxious. Then Guo Kuang told him that there was good news. As a result, within a few days, it was reported that several surrounding counties had basically begun to rebel, and even respected him. Be the king.

He felt like drinking cold beer in the summer. In one word, it was refreshing!

The throne that was looking shaky at first seemed to be waving to him again. He was filled with joy, boosted his morale, and was ready to win Zhending in one fell swoop.

In Zhending City, Fatty Liu's face was extremely ugly after hearing the news. He had already guessed that there was something complicated behind this, but he didn't expect that almost the entire Jizhou was thrown into chaos.

"Block the news and don't allow any news to reach everyone's ears. Otherwise, behead!"

Of course, he couldn't let the news of rebellion in several other counties spread. It was already difficult to defend the city. If this happened again, it would have a huge impact on morale.

Then there were fierce siege battles. Liu De and Guo Kuang, who originally thought they had a chance to win, ended up defeated again.

At dawn, everything was still hazy.

A faint layer of red gradually appeared on the horizon, gradually lengthening and turning into a red ink painting, gradually covering the entire sky.

At this time, everything on the ground still looked dull. The city wall in the distance was just an outline, and no specific details could be seen.

However, as the sun climbed up little by little, the sky began to show brilliant colors, the clouds became colorful, and the sunlight was like a pair of golden scissors, cutting off the curtain of the night.

At this time, the entire scene is covered by the freshness of the world, giving people a refreshing feeling.

However, the world is like this, but the world's conditions in the world are not like this.

The walls of Zhending City are not big, but almost every brick has blood stains on it. Under the sunlight, it reflects red light, and some of them have begun to dim...

There was a stench of corpses down there, like rotten eggs, along with dead rats. No one went to collect these corpses. Fortunately, it was not particularly hot in Hebei at this time, otherwise people would have been suffocated to death.

"General, they have retreated!" A soldier called softly to Fatty Liu, who was sleeping leaning on his sword. He was really, really tired.

At first, Guo Kuang asked these soldiers to attack mostly during the day. After several attacks failed, he divided the soldiers into several waves and took turns attacking during the day and night, just to kill Fatty Liu in the city.

Now he only has about 1000 elites on hand, and more than 3000 people have lost 2/3. Those are all elites he has trained for a year, and many of them are still injured.

He had to summon young and middle-aged men from the city, and desperately gathered about 2000 people, and finally gathered 3000 people, but it was obvious that his morale and physical strength were far less than before.

"General, tell me, do you think we can still hold on?"

The speaker was one of Fatty Liu's personal guards. There were knife marks on his face and blood stains on his body. He looked extremely tired and had heavy dark circles under his eyes. It wasn't just him, most of the soldiers were like this, even Fatty Liu. His armor was covered in blood.

"So what if we can't hold on? The only option is death. In the current situation, will they let us go?"

They were a little discouraged, and so was the situation outside the city.

"Cousin, why is this Zhending city so difficult to attack? The city wall is not high, and there are not many people inside. I think there are only more than 2000 troops, but we have a full 10 people. It has been almost half a month, and there are still We can’t capture this small county.”

Liu De sighed. It was so difficult to capture a small Zhending. He could not imagine how difficult it would be to capture the capital city of Luoyang.

"Indeed, Liu Dewang is a talented person, but it's a pity that he can't be used by all of us."

Guo Kuang also lamented that he had tried various methods to persuade him to surrender, but to no avail. He asked people to spread the news about the rebellion in the surrounding counties, but Fatty Liu was already prepared and said that he was false news.

He even ordered that anyone who spread the news would be killed without mercy. He also said that the imperial army would be coming in the near future, but no one knew how long it would take.

"Then what should we do now? Cousin!"

"No rush, take your time."

Guo Kuang looked calm, and Liu De quickly said: "Why are you not in a hurry? I got the news that Prince Liu Qiang has led an army to go on an expedition. They are all the best of the best. The target must be us..."

"It's okay, time is running out soon,"

Even if Zhending City was not captured, Guo Kuang was not worried at all. He had not thought about doing anything militarily. What he wanted was for Liu Han to come out in person.

"What's so fast?"

Guo Kuang didn't answer him, and looked far away into the distance.

Suddenly, a breeze blew gently, bringing a bit of coolness. As time went by, the breeze gradually became stronger, and the whistling sound gradually filled the air.

The leaves began to rustle, as if the trees were celebrating the arrival of the wind. As the wind increased, the branches began to sway, as if they were dancing.

The grass also swayed with the wind, like waves of green waves. The wind blew through the grass, and the flowers on the ground swayed with the power of the wind, like a rainbow blooming in the sky.

The people around also felt the arrival of the wind, their clothes were fluttering, and their hair was flying in the wind.

"The wind is blowing!" Guo Kuang smiled.

At the same time, the city of Luoyang was sealed off inside and outside the city.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty, you're still not awake?"

Yin Lihua and Yin Xing looked at the imperial doctor and asked,

Liu Xiu was lying on the bed, her lips were white, and her whole body was wet and yellow. It was an abnormal yellow color, like the inside of a mango, and she was unconscious.

"Queen Qi, Your Majesty is suffering from dizziness and jaundice. I'm afraid she's a little nervous."

The imperial doctor said helplessly, almost crying. He felt that Liu Xiu might never wake up.

"I know about the dizziness syndrome. Your Majesty had it a few years ago, but what is this jaundice? Is there no cure?"

According to "Dong Guan Han Ji", in the 17th year of Jianwu's reign, Liu Xiu "sheltered from the main hall" due to a solar eclipse and was reading a prophecy when he suddenly "had a stroke and severe dizziness", which is dizziness.

Liu Xiu decided to challenge the disease and traveled far away in a bumpy carriage. At first, he fell ill after walking a few miles. On March 3, when he arrived in Yanshi, Henan, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was ill for several days. However, he did not faint after arriving in Fuping County, Shaanxi Province.

"Dizziness" is actually high blood pressure in later generations.

Hypertension is mainly caused by excessive sadness, overeating, and overwork. As age increases, the chance of suffering from hypertension will significantly increase. There are more patients in the age group of 40 to 60, accounting for 39.68% of all patients.

In order to promote Du Tian, ​​Liu Xiu's mental and work pressure increased sharply, and she suffered from high blood pressure.

In fact, people in the Han Dynasty had a certain understanding of high blood pressure. They believed that it was blood stasis caused by sitting for a long time. They should activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and used prescriptions such as dried angelica, Qiongrong, peony bark, lei reed, and horsefly insects.

These medicines are indeed effective, but those with Qi and blood deficiency should not use peony bark, horsefly, etc. It can be seen that this recipe is not suitable for Liu Xiu.

Acupuncture can also control the development of hypertension, but at the time of Liu Xiu, acupuncture had not yet been fully developed.

Due to the lack of good treatment methods, Liu Xiu could only resort to "running away in a carriage". Probably God's favor, Liu Xiu suddenly felt much better.

High blood pressure is more harmful to the heart and brain blood vessels. The mortality rate of patients with hypertension is about 25%. One in every four people who die will die from hypertension.

Fortunately, if detected early, most hypertensive patients will follow the doctor's advice and use antihypertensive drugs regularly and for a long time to control their blood pressure within the normal range without causing symptoms or affecting their life span.

But if it is malignant hypertension or refractory hypertension, if the blood pressure is not controlled, it can also lead to myocardial infarction, heart failure, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and sudden death.

Facing Yin Lihua's inquiry, the imperial doctor replied, "Queen, jaundice is caused by dampness and heat stagnation in the spleen, and the face and limbs turn yellow. This is jaundice. There are five names for acne. Although they are different, they are all yellow and have the same origin. There is nothing that is neither hot nor wet that can cause disease.

Dampness is also hot, so there is no difference in severity. If dampness prevails, it will appear yellow and dull; if heat prevails, it will appear orange and bright. The spleen governs the muscles, the color of the earth is still yellow, and the dampness and heat are evaporating internally, which may be heavy or light, and cannot be allowed to go outside..."

This made Yin Lihua frown and feel her head grow heavy.

Jaundice is more complex and mainly manifests as the sclera, mucous membrane, skin and other tissues being dyed yellow.

To put it simply, it means that the whole body turns yellow. In fact, strictly speaking, jaundice is not a disease, but a manifestation of the disease. The appearance of jaundice is mainly due to abnormalities in the metabolism of bilirubin.

For example, favismosis is a congenital deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in red blood cells, which leads to the destruction of a large number of red blood cells and produces hemolytic jaundice. Clinically, in addition to jaundice, anemia can sometimes occur.

When the liver is inflamed, the destruction of creatinine leads to abnormal bilirubin metabolism...

This is easy to treat, but it is also difficult to treat. The key is to find the cause.

But the level of medical treatment in ancient times is very difficult to treat. Liu Xiu combined two difficult diseases together. If one of them is not treated properly, he may die.
