The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 297 Chapter 296
It's night, Cao Jun's camp.

The news of Cao Cao's poisoning has spread throughout the army, and everyone knows that his life will not be long.

The entire Cao Jun camp was lifeless, the night sky covered with dark clouds covered the entire moon, and the entire land was shrouded in darkness.

In Cao Jun's central army tent, Cao Cao was lying quietly on the couch, surrounded by generals Dian Wei, Guo Jia, Xun You, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Guo Huai, and their expressions were extremely sad.

At this time, Doctor Zhang walked in from the outside, seeing the dignified expressions of everyone in the big tent, he walked straight to the side of Cao Cao's bed without saying a word.

"Doctor Zhang, my lord, is it really hopeless?" Xia Houyuan asked with tears in his eyes.

Doctor Zhang sighed heavily at first, then shook his head, still without saying a word, he looked around at the people in the big tent, and said slowly: "I'm going to practice medicine for General Cao, all of you Go out for now!"

Everyone went out one after another, only Dian Wei stayed by Cao Cao's side, quietly standing by his side, his face was as iron as steel, and he was very resolute.

Seeing that everyone had gone out, Doctor Zhang opened his medical bag, took out a silver needle, and pierced Cao Cao's chest directly.

After a while, Cao Cao slowly opened his eyes.However, Dian Wei and Dr. Zhang never felt the slightest surprise. They looked at Cao Cao with expectant eyes, as if they already knew what was going to happen.

After Cao Cao opened his eyes, he stretched his arms and managed to sit up. He said gratefully to Dr. Zhang who was sitting on the edge of the couch, "Thank you Dr. Zhang for your help. Meng De is really grateful." .”

Dr. Zhang shook his head and said: "General Cao saved my life back then. This time, I helped General Cao to repay my life-saving grace. From now on, there will be no relationship between the two of us."

The miraculous doctor, surnamed Zhang Mingji, styled Zhongjing, was from Nanyang and was a famous doctor in the world.

Ten years ago, Zhang Zhongjing was gathering medicine in Mount Song when he encountered a ferocious beast. He thought he was going to die in the mountain. Fortunately, Cao Cao led his subordinates to pass by here, and together with his subordinates, he shot the tiger and saved his life.

This is how Cao Cao and Zhang Zhongjing met.After that, Zhang Zhongjing always kept Cao Cao's life-saving grace in mind.

Just yesterday, Cao Cao and Zhang Zhongjing ran into each other in the army, and only then did they know that Zhang Zhongjing traveled to Jizhou as a doctor, cured many people, and became a famous local doctor.

This time Yuan Shao led the army to the south and sent someone to invite Zhang Zhongjing to be a doctor with the army.Zhang Zhongjing refused, so Yuan Shao threatened with the lives of the common people, so Zhang Zhongjing begged for perfection and followed Yuan Shao to the army.

After the two met by chance yesterday, Cao Cao no longer recognized Zhang Zhongjing, but Zhang Zhongjing still remembered Cao Cao, so he mentioned the past, and Cao Cao remembered such a thing.

When Cao Cao learned that Zhang Zhongjing was Doctor Zhang, on a whim, he asked Doctor Zhang to put him in a state of suspended animation, and the two of them performed a good show together for Yuan Shao to watch.

Cao Cao came here this time after receiving Yuan Shao's warrant. He had roughly guessed that Yuan Shao was worried about him, and that he might let the army he led charge into battle.

In order to dispel Yuan Shao's motive, Cao Cao came up with this clever plan, intending to return to Bingzhou in a state of suspended animation and leave the battlefield.Moreover, Cao Cao was also very clear about Yuan Shao's behavior. Once he knew that he would die soon, he would definitely feel compassion, and then let his family members in Yecheng rush to Jinyang in Bingzhou to mourn.

Cao Cao has worked hard in Bingzhou for five years, and has placed his cronies everywhere. Even the army only listens to his orders. He has been reluctant to do anything, because he is reluctant to part with his family in Yecheng.

Ever since Cao Cao took refuge with Yuan Shao, his whole family had been left in Yecheng. No matter how hard he managed in Bingzhou, he couldn't abandon this family.

After all, more than a dozen of Cao Cao's sons and daughters were held as hostages in Yecheng. If he rebelled against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao would be the first to take his family.And Cao Cao is not young anymore, even though he can marry another wife, whether he can have so many children in the future is a question.

Moreover, he was reluctant to let Cao Cao's family die.

This time, Cao Cao and Zhang Zhongjing, who wanted to repay their kindness, jointly staged an Infernal Affairs, taking the opportunity to paralyze Yuan Shao. Not only can he get out, but he can also rescue his family.

Because this matter is too confidential, except for Cao Cao's personal bodyguard Dian Wei, no one in Cao's army knows about it anymore. Even Guo Jia, Xun You, Xia Houyuan, and Cao Hong are close confidants, Cao Cao has been hiding it. .

There is only one purpose for doing this, that is, the less people know about it, the better the drama will be performed.

Cao Cao thanked Zhang Zhongjing again and again. If it weren't for Zhang Zhongjing's amazing medical skills, he might not be able to fool Yuan Shao and Tian Feng.

Although he was in a coma, he was very conscious and listened very carefully to everything outside.

"What is the general's plan in the future? Do you really plan to disappear from the world?" Zhang Zhongjing asked Cao Cao while continuing to give acupuncture.

There was a strange smile on the corner of Cao Cao's mouth, and he said slowly: "I don't need to worry about this matter, I have my own plan. When I get to the top in the future, I will try my best to repay the help of Zhang today. .”

After Zhang Zhongjing heard it, he smiled lightly, and after finishing the needle, he said in a soft voice: "If the old man wants to be rich, he is already rich enough to rival a country. Besides, the old man said it very clearly before." , After this incident, I have nothing to do with the general. When the general is in full swing, no matter where the old man is, just ask the general not to look for the old man again."

Zhang Zhongjing also served as an official, and was deeply disgusted by the darkness in the officialdom, but the bureaucracy was corrupt and the government was weak. Since he was unable to heal the country, he abandoned the official and studied medicine and specialized in treating patients. He had already seen through fame, fortune, and money. There is no such a picture of fame and fortune back then.

When dealing with poor patients, he is a genius doctor who does not receive a penny, but when he is dealing with rich and powerful brothers of officials who do not care about the common people, a life-saving elixir is enough to make that person spend all his wealth. I have to take a detour.

He has thousands of elixirs hidden in his chest, walks around the world with a silver needle in his hand, hangs a pot to help the world, and "doctors" the rich and the poor.

After Zhang Zhongjing treated Cao Cao, he left the camp. As soon as he got out of the big tent, all the generals who were anxiously waiting outside hurriedly surrounded him. Xia Houyuan asked eagerly, "Master Zhang, is my lord really hopeless?"

Zhang Zhongjing said: "I'm a doctor, not a god, and I can't cure any disease."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhongjing left the big tent with the medicine box on his shoulders.

Guo Jia, Xun You, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Guo Huai and other confidants all walked into the big tent with gloomy faces. Who knows, as soon as they entered the big tent, they saw that Cao Cao had disappeared on the couch.

Everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly glanced around the big tent, but saw Cao Cao sitting in a corner of the big tent safe and sound, with a table of wine and vegetables in front of him, eating and drinking, and Dian Wei was standing by his side all the time.

Seeing such a scene, everyone was even more surprised. They never thought that Cao Cao miraculously came back to life.

Everyone walked towards Cao Cao at the same time, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and cried out with joy, "My lord!"

Cao Cao took a sip of wine and immediately said, "Get up!"

Seeing that Cao Cao looked good, the cloud on his face disappeared immediately, and then they all praised Zhang Zhongjing vigorously, saying that he had excellent medical skills, brought back the dead, Bian Que was alive, etc., and everyone in the big tent was also full of joy.

They just experienced great sorrow, and now they have experienced great joy, and their emotions have changed so quickly that everyone is now laughing and crying.

Cao Cao cleared his throat, raised his hands and pressed down, and the big tent suddenly became quiet.

"Actually, I wasn't poisoned." Cao Cao said truthfully.

After hearing this, all the people present, except Dian Wei, were all confused for a while.Blinking and blinking two big eyes, it seems to be asking, is it not poisoned?Then why were you like that before?

Cao Cao seemed to be able to guess what everyone was thinking, and then said: "All this is a little trick of mine, I didn't expect to deceive everyone, hahaha..."

Cao Cao was laughing, but the others couldn't laugh. They all looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Cao Cao's gourd.

Cao Cao looked around and saw the confusion on everyone's faces, so he revealed his plan.

After hearing this, everyone sighed for a while, but they didn't expect that all of this was Cao Cao's plan.

However, Cao Cao's plan was only half successful, and the remaining half was more dangerous and difficult than this half.

Those who can appear in this big tent are all Cao Cao's confidantes. Among them is a young man named Guo Huai who has only followed Cao Cao in the past two years.However, this does not affect Guo Huai's loyalty to Cao Cao.

Guo Huai, whose name is Boji, just turned 20 this year, is a native of Taiyuan County and Yangqu County.Guo Huai's grandfather was Guo Quan, a great farmer in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his father was Guo Yan, a prefect of Yanmen in the Eastern Han Dynasty.In the third year of Jian'an, Guo Huai was promoted as Xiaolian in Bingzhou, and then he was selected as Maocai. Since then, he has gained a small reputation in Bingzhou.Since he was born among officials and his father had been a general, he can be considered as a general. He began to practice literature and martial arts since he was a child, and when he grew up, he was an all-rounder.

The Guo family and the Taiyuan Wang family were family friends. Guo Huai was not only talented in both civil and military affairs, but also handsome. After being attracted by Wang Ling, he married his younger sister to Guo Huai and became in-laws with Guo Huai.After that, Wang Ling recommended Guo Huai to Cao Cao.When Cao Cao and Guo Huai met, they chatted about some topics casually. He felt that Guo Huai answered the questions fluently and had his own views on things.

Therefore, Cao Cao arranged for Guo Huai to serve as Sima in Xiahouyuan's army.Last year, when Xianbei invaded Bingzhou, Xia Houyuan led Guo Huai and others to resist Xianbei. Guo Huai took the lead and rushed into the Xianbei army with his own strength, cut down the king's flag, beheaded the invading Xianbei leader, and became famous in the first battle.

Cao Cao rewarded Guo Huai for meritorious service, so he arranged for Guo Huai to serve as a school lieutenant, leading [-] soldiers and horses alone.Since then, Guo Huai has become Cao Cao's confidant, following Cao Cao wholeheartedly without complaint.

Cao Cao uttered the whole plan in front of everyone, and then gave some instructions to keep everyone secret, not to leak the news that he was healthy, and decided to let Cao Zhen escort him back to Bingzhou tomorrow. The rest of the ministries are all performing their duties here, waiting for Yuan Shao to dispatch them, but they all take preserving their strength as the most basic need.

In addition, Cao Cao also specially gave Dian Wei a task.After Dian Wei received this task, he took a secret letter with him and went to Xiancheng at night...
