At the end of October in the fourth year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu surrendered.

Since then, Nanyang County has been divided into two, of which the north of Rang County belongs to Cao Cao, accounting for two-thirds, about 26 counties.There are 37 counties in Nanyang County, and Liu Biao occupies 11 counties south of Rang County, accounting for only one-third of the area.

Zhang Xiu's surrender still caused quite a commotion.

Cao Cao attacked Wancheng before, and died a son and a nephew.But regardless of previous suspicions, Zhang Xiu was still accepted, showing the generosity of distinguishing between public and private.Moreover, after Zhang Xiu surrendered, Cao Cao still stationed Zhang Xiu in Nanyang and paid homage to the prefect of Nanyang.Man Chong returned to Xudu and took over the post of Ting Wei.Then Cao Cao worshiped Zhang Xiu as General Yangwu, stationed troops in Wancheng, and asked his third son Cao Zhi to marry Zhang Xiu's daughter as his wife.At this time, Cao Zhi was only seven years old, and he was very talented and thoughtful, so he was very fond of Cao Cao.Because of this, Zhang Xiu felt relieved.

Zhang Xiu's surrender immediately disrupted Liu Biao's plan.

At this time, he visited Jingxiang from Huainan and asked Liu Biao to accept it.

After thinking twice, Liu Biao did not object, and even comforted Mizhu with gentle words, and gave up Tangzi Township for Mizhu and his party to garrison.

At the same time, Liu Biao asked Mi Zhu to try to contact Liu Bei.

In the letter, he said frankly: You and I are both clansmen of the Han Dynasty, and we should have relied on each other.

Now the world is in chaos, the Han court is weak, and traitors are disorderly governing.Therefore, Xuande is asked to come to Jingzhou to assist because of the affection of the clan...

This is a variable that Liu Bei could not predict.

When he was in Runan, he never expected that Zhang Xiu would submit to Cao Cao.

Now that Zhang Xiu has surrendered, there is an extra barrier to the south of Xudu, and at the same time, the Jingxiang gate is opened. Cao Cao can attack Jingzhou at any time.

Liu Biao needed a watchdog, so he thought of Liu Bei.

If Zhang Xiu had not surrendered to Cao Cao, Liu Biao would definitely not accept Liu Bei.But now even if he wanted to, it seemed too late.

Liu Bei has arrived in Yecheng from Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao valued him very much.

And Yuan Shao's crusade against Cao Cao is imminent, and Liu Bei will not leave Yuan Shao easily...

In short, the situation seems to have become complicated.

Cao Cao then started the final round of arrangements in Xudu, ordering Zang Ba to send troops to the two counties of Dongping and Beihai. His purpose was to pin down Yuan Tan so that Yuan Tan could not act rashly.On both sides of the river, the smell of gunpowder became more and more intense, and the situation between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out.

--------------------------------

In November, Qiao County ushered in the first snow in the fourth year of Jian'an.

The snow is not too big, and the rain and snow are mixed, making the temperature suddenly become extremely cold.

Cao Peng followed Cao Ji to Qiao County, intending to return to his family and recognize his ancestors.However, returning to the ancestors and recognizing the ancestors is not a simple matter.The importance that the ancients attached to the clan was something Cao Peng, who came from later generations, could not have imagined.It is necessary to compare generations, birthdays, experiences, and past events.Only when each generation on the genealogy is clearly confirmed can it be considered that the first hurdle of returning to the clan has been passed.

After that, the clan had to interrogate Cao Ji about his past experience.

When everything is confirmed, choose an auspicious day to return to the clan and recognize the ancestors.

This is the result of Cao Cao's supervision, otherwise it will take more time.Cao Peng wasn't in too much of a hurry, since Xu Du had nothing serious to do anyway, he could relax and visit the surrounding scenery of Qiao County to his heart's content.

How big is the Cao clan?
Great!

Counting from Cao Teng's generation, there are three branches.

In Cao Cao's generation, there are more than a dozen branches of the clan house, that is, descendants of direct descendants; and other sub-family houses, there are always more than a dozen houses. The entire Cao clan adds up, and there are thousands of descendants of the Cao surname alone. Not to mention the intertwined relatives.

The Cao family and the Xiahou family have an extremely close relationship.

At the same time, it also has a close relationship with another large local clan, the Fahrenheit.

Fahrenheit is not very prominent now, and in terms of his clan house, it is not in Qiao County, and it is an outsider.But it has been rooted in Qiao County for many years, and its history even exceeds that of the Cao family and the Xiahou family.Hua's clan house is in Gaotang County, Pingyuan County. The most famous one today is the former Yuzhang prefect, Hua Xin Hua Ziyu who is now serving as a guest in Sun Ce's residence.However, the relationship has become somewhat estranged, Qiao County Huashi and Gaotang Huashi have already cut off contact.

Fahrenheit in Qiaoxian County is mainly engaged in medical practice and business, and the clan has nearly a thousand people.

It doesn't sound bad, but compared with Cao's and Xiahou's, it's obviously far behind.

"You say Hua Tuo is a member of the Hua clan?"

Cao Peng asked in surprise.

In front of him was a son named Cao Rong named Cao Rong.

He is also the brother of the clan house, and is responsible for receiving Cao Ji and Cao Peng and his son.The two sat in the restaurant and chatted about the customs and customs of Qiao County. The words unknowingly involved local prominent families.When it comes to famous families, it is natural not to mention Qiaoxian Fahrenheit.

"Yes, that old man is extremely skilled in medicine.

Two years ago, when my grandmother was ill, it was still the old man who took care of her.It's just that he is away all year round, traveling around, and doesn't often stay at home.

But after returning from Nieyang years ago, he never went out again.

I've heard people say that he compiled some medical books at home, closed the door all day to thank guests, and never saw anyone.That old man has a weird temper, what kind of medical book do you want to write?With his ability, opening a medical clinic in Qiao County must be a prosperous business, but he committed a temper tantrum, so that he relied on the relief of his tribe.Some time ago, I heard people say that he offended the adults in the family, so he intentionally cut off his family's monthly law..."

"So, Hua Tuo's family is not well-off?"

"It's not just bad, it's very bad."

Cao Peng couldn't help but move in his heart.

He beckoned Xia Houlan to come over, "Take my assassin, go to Washington, tell Hua Tuo, and ask him if he would like to be the imperial physician of the Shaofu. If he wants, he can read the medical books in the Shaofu at will... ...Also, tell him that Zhang Ji will go to Xudu."

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the status of doctors was not too high.

In the imperial court, however, two imperial hospitals were set up.

One belongs to Taichang, which is responsible for medical treatment for the poor.It seems that the Huichun Medical Center in Xudu is under Taichang's treatment.Without the permission of the Imperial Physician Order under Taichang's rule, Xiao Kun would not be able to practice medicine.The current Taichang Imperial Physician Order is Dong Xiao, a student of Zhang Zhongjing.

He was recommended by Cao Peng and was recommended because he cured Guo Jia's disease.

He has been in Xudu for three years, and was later recommended by Xun Yu to the Taichang Tai Hospital as an imperial physician. Overall, he has done a good job.

Another Tai Hospital belongs to Shaofu.

Specifically aimed at the court and the dignitaries in the court...

The medical books left by the past dynasties are all hidden in the Shaofu Tai Hospital, and ordinary people cannot read them at all.

Shaofu Tai Hospital is much more relaxed than Tai Chang Tai Hospital, and the benefits are better than Tai Chang Tai Hospital.But the responsibility is even greater.

The previous Imperial Physician Order of the Shaofu was named Ji Ping.

Because he was involved in the Yidai Zhao case, he was copied and executed by all the families.

When Ji Ping died, the Imperial Physician Order of the Shaofu was vacated.Not everyone can take up this position. Not only must they have excellent medical skills, but also someone must come forward to guarantee it.As long as it is an imperial physician's order, it can be said that it is the highest level of a doctor.Previously, someone recommended Zhang Ji, but was rejected by Zhang Zhongjing.According to the order of the imperial physician of the Shaofu, the rank is six hundred stones; while Zhang Ji was once the prefect of Changsha, it is a serious rank of two thousand stones.Wouldn't it be demeaning for you to let a prefect who had received a salary of two thousand shi come back to be an imperial physician with a salary of six hundred shi?

Moreover, Zhang Ji did not lack this, so he was unable to take up the post in the end.

It is also for this reason that the Shaofu imperial physician's order is pending.

Cao Peng is the person who knows these things best. Before he left Xudu, Liu Ye and Cao Ji, the Shaofu, mentioned it by accident...

Hua Tuo!

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, together with Zhang Zhongjing and Dong Feng, who didn't know where he was now or whether he had been born, they were called the three great doctors with superb medical skills.Zhang Zhongjing is famous all over the world for his Treatise on Febrile Diseases; Dong Feng is known as Xinglin Miracle Doctor.But if we say that the most famous one is Hua Tuo.His situation is different from Zhang Zhongjing's. He has traveled around the world and cured many strange and intractable diseases, and the methods are extremely strange.

He once wrote a "Book of Green Bag", but he burned it himself for some reason.

There is a "Zhong Zang Shu" handed down to later generations, but it is said that it was not written by Hua Tuo... In the history of Chinese medicine, it can be said to be a huge loss.

According to history books, Hua Tuo was killed by Cao Cao because he was unwilling to be a doctor for Cao Cao.

Unofficial history records that Cao Cao had a headache, and Hua Tuo offered a craniotomy for treatment, which was suspected by Cao Cao and was eventually killed.But if it is said that Hua Tuo left the deepest impression on people, it is the story of Guan Yunchang scraping bones to cure poison.When Cao Peng was young, he loved this plot very much.

Later he learned that Hua Tuo created Wuqinxi, which is said to be the originator of Chinese pictographic boxing.

It's just that the Wu Qin Xi of the later generations, whether it is true or not, no one knows...

When Cao Peng first heard Cao Rong talk about Hua Tuo, he couldn't help but speculate.

In these days, getting a good doctor is undoubtedly the best way to save one's life.

It would be a good idea if Hua Tuo could be kept.At least in the future, Cao Cao will not kill Hua Tuo out of suspicion.

The Imperial Physician Order should be a good choice for Hua Tuo...

"Youxue, do you want to recommend Hua Tuo as an imperial physician?"

"Yes."

"You..." Seeing no one around, Cao Rong said softly, "You'd better think twice about this matter. This Hua Tuo... how should I put it, is quite weird. Someone saw him stealing corpses back then, He was punished by the government. If you rashly recommend him to the Imperial Hospital, if something happens, it is very likely to cause trouble for you. This person has many problems, and he is so weird..."

"Stealing a corpse?"

"Yeah... This incident was quite a big one at the time, and I also supported my father to mention it.

When Hua Tuo was thirty years old, one night, he sneaked to a tomb, dug up the tomb, and stole the corpse... It is said that this guy eats dead human flesh, so he stole the corpse.When the government arrested him, several corpses were found in his home, all flesh and blood gone, only white bones remained.Ask him where the flesh and blood went, and he can't tell a clue..."

"Is there such a thing?"

Cao Peng shuddered, showing hesitation.

"Then what did he say?"

"My father was working in the Yamen at that time, and he had heard his confession.

Hua Yuanhua said that he opened up those corpses to investigate the cause of death and explore the symptoms.Anyway, no one would believe it.

Later, he was still an uncle of his family, and he spent money to buy him a crime, so he escaped from prison.Later, he couldn't stay in Qiao County anymore, so he left home and traveled around.When he came back more than ten years later, his medical skills had become much better, but this person had become even weirder. "

anatomy!
A thought suddenly flashed through Cao Peng's mind.

Later generations, there is another saying that Hua Tuo is the ancestor of anatomy.

Guan Yunchang's bone scraping to cure poison, and Cao Cao's craniotomy to treat diseases all seem to involve the principles of anatomy.

Then, the reason why Hua Tuo dissected the corpse can be justified.Which of the medical students in later generations has not experienced this kind of thing?

Cao Peng listened to Cao Rong's explanation, instead of shrinking back, he became more determined to save Hua Tuo.

Cao Cao must know Hua Tuo!

The two people are not only from the same hometown, but also the age difference is not particularly disparate.

The reason why Cao Cao refused to trust Hua Tuo was largely due to Hua Tuo's misdeeds in his early years.

After thinking for a while, Cao Peng got up suddenly and said to Cao Rong, "Brother, I want to visit Hua Tuo in person, but I don't know if I can lead the way?"

"what?"

"You don't understand... When I was learning to read with an alchemist, that alchemist once said to me: the human body is the most wonderful structure. If you can't observe intuitively and clearly, it is difficult to grasp the truth ...I think that the purpose of Hua Tuo stealing the corpse was to grasp the body structure, so that he could find the root of the disease more clearly...

This is a remarkable talent, if he is let go, he may regret it in the future. "

If Cao Peng was an ordinary person, his words might be regarded as a lunatic.

But he is the famous 'Cao Babai', a disciple of Mr. Kong Ming in Wolong.In other words, what he said, in the eyes of ordinary people, is like the comments of experts and professors.This is the importance of fame. With fame, people will believe everything you say.

"There is such a thing?"

Cao Rong couldn't help being extremely surprised, got up quickly, and led Cao Peng out of the restaurant.

Hua Tuo did not live in Qiao County, but in the suburbs.

Because of Hua Tuo's bad reputation, no one wanted to be his neighbor.As a result, Hua Tuo lived alone beside the water, surrounded by desolate people.A small independent courtyard looks dilapidated and deserted, which makes people feel apprehensive.

Cao Rong took Cao Peng and knocked on the firewood door.

After a while, an old Haoshou family member came out, staring with dazed eyes and asking: "Who are you looking for?"

"Dare to ask, is it Mr. Hua Tuohua's home?"

"Yes."

"I'm Cao Peng, a son of Cao's surname in Qiao County. He is a military marshal of the Northern Army. I'm here to pay a special visit to you, sir."

"My master said, but no one has been seen."

Cao Rong was furious when he heard this, "You..."

Cao Peng grabbed Cao Rong, looked at the old man, and suddenly laughed.

"I know that Mr. Hua has suffered a lot of grievances, and it is not understood by the world.

However, I have a word, please bring it to Mr. Hua.Please tell Mr. Hua, I understand what he is doing.Dissecting the corpse is not a monster, but a good thing for Fuze common people.Now that you have done some things, please stick to it...Although Bucai is only a military marshal in the Northern Army, he is willing to be a guarantee for Mr. Hua. He recommended him as the Imperial Physician Order of the Shaofu, and he can read all the books in the Shaofu collection.

If he's willing to keep at it, I'll try to get enough corpses for him to continue his research.

In short, it is not possible to understand what Mr. Hua did.But if he gives up halfway and just gets depressed, then I have nothing to say...

I will stay in Qiao County for a while. If Mr. Hua has figured it out, he can come to me at any time.I live in the official post next to the county government... If others don't understand, it doesn't mean you can give up; if others misunderstand, it's not a reason to be depressed. Please take care, Mr. Hua. "

After all, Cao Peng took Cao Rong away.

"Youxue, are you really willing to get a corpse for him?"

Cao Rong shuddered and asked softly.

Cao Peng nodded slightly, "If he is willing to continue, I will try my best to prepare a corpse for him."

"Crazy, really crazy!"

Cao Rong shook his head lightly.

He was willing to believe in Cao Peng, but he still didn't understand what he did.

It's better to be less involved in this kind of thing...

——————————————————————————————

In the middle of November of the fourth year of Jian'an, a call to action suddenly spread throughout the country.

Gai Wenming's main plan is to control change by danger, and loyal ministers worry that it will be difficult to establish power.Therefore, there are extraordinary people, and then there are extraordinary things; there are extraordinary things, and then extraordinary achievements are made.

……

But Cao Sui inherited capital and domineering, acted violently, cut and stripped Yuan Yuan, disabled the virtuous and harmed the good.

Therefore, the prefect of Jiujiang, Bianrang, is talented and famous all over the world;

……

Cao then set his mind free, and specialized in threatening relocation, and was banned by the imperial province.

Regrets the royal family, defeats the law and violates discipline, sits in the leadership of the three, authorizes the government, rewards the nobles with his heart, and kills with his mouth.The five families are loved, and the three families are hated.Those who talk in groups are punished by the public, and those who discuss the secrets are killed by secrets.

……

The one who gets to be the leader will be granted the title of Marquis of 5000 households and rewarded with [-] million yuan.

Don't ask any questions about those who are partial to the generals and school officials.Guangyi Enxin, Banyang Talisman Reward, announced to the world, so that the salty emissary knew the difficulty of detention during the holy pilgrimage.

Like a law!
The person who wrote this essay was named Chen Lin, whose style name was Kong Zhang, and was born in Guangling, Xuzhou.

He Jin, who used to be the master book of the great general, wanted to kill the ten permanent servants, so he summoned strong generals from all directions and led troops into Beijing to intimidate the queen mother.Chen Qun opposed it at that time, but he couldn't make any progress.After He Jin's death, Chen Lin took refuge in Jizhou and joined Yuan Shao to handle the articles for him.

This piece of appeal to thieves was exactly what Chen Lin was ordered by Yuan Shao to do.

It was almost the end of the year, and Cao Cao was bedridden because of a headache. After reading the call to action, he broke out in a cold sweat and got up from the bed.

Yuan Shao, this is a war against me!

Although Cao Cao had already made preparations for the battle, he was still a little panicked when the battle started.

He hurriedly called Guo Jia over, "Feng Xiao, Yuan Shao's call to action, have you ever read it?"

Guo Jia said, "Jia has already read it."

"What does Feng Xiao think?"

"Yuan Shao has already decided to go to war, and it may be just around the end of the year.

However, the lord does not need to care about Yuan Shao, the lord and Yuan Benchu ​​will fight sooner or later, this is something we have long expected.Now, Yuan Shao pretends to be a million-dollar army, but he is not afraid.The lord can make Zang Ba contain Yuan Tan; let Wen Yuan sit in Hanoi and contain the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou, so that Yuan Shao's two wings can be cut off.As for Yuan Shao's actual military strength, Yi Jia estimated that it was only more than one hundred thousand people, my lord can rest assured.

However, Yuan Shao is not afraid.

Jia's concern is the little overlord of Jiangdong. "

"The lion of the Sun family is evil?"

"Exactly!" A cold light flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, "Sun Ce now dominates the six counties in Jiangdong, and his strength has greatly increased. Wen has Zhang Zibu, Wu has Zhou Gongjin, and Cheng Pu Huang Gai Han Dang and other Jiangdong veterans. If Yuan Shao Combined with it, he praised the conquest of Xuzhou, which would lead to disaster.

My lord, Jia thought that what was arranged last year can be carried out.

As long as Sun Bofu is removed, Jiangdong will be in chaos... At that time, the lord will be able to fight Yuan Shao with all his strength and defeat him in one fell swoop..."

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "Jiangdong lion, it's really a trouble in my heart."

When Guo Jia heard this, he immediately laughed...
