The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 31
At this time, Kong Ni had just received the battle report from Runan, and after reading the victory report in his hand, his face was both surprised and happy, and Xu Jing who was on the side asked, "My lord, is there a war in Runan?"

Kong Ni did not answer, and handed the victory report to Xu Jing. Xu Jing took it with both hands and quickly read it. After reading it, his heart was exactly the same as that of Kong Ni. They were just as powerful, but they defeated the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who came to invade in just one day, and they still won a complete victory. The good news is that the remnants of the Yellow Turbans were finally wiped out, so they didn't have to be on guard all day long.

Xu Jing said: "My lord, since Li Yuan defeated the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, he should be rewarded by the emperor."

Kong Ni nodded in agreement, but worried: "It's right to play the emperor, but I'm afraid I won't be able to pass Zhang Rang's test. Zhang Rang is a rebellious minister and gangster. I have heard for a long time that he is jealous of Zhongliang. He often intercepts the local memorials to prevent the emperor from letting him go." Review."

"It's okay, the important thing is that we have at least done this thing, whether it can be passed on to the emperor is beyond our control."

"Wen Xiu's words suit me, so I will do as you say."

So Kong Ni posted a memorial, narrating Li Yuan's victory over the Yellow Turban Bandits in Runan, and begged the emperor to reward Li Yuan as the prefect of Runan to show his merits.

A few days later, the memorial arrived in Luoyang. Emperor Ling was very happy when he learned that Li Yuan had won the Yellow Turban remnants in Runan, and wanted to reward him. Going south, it can be said that it is not doing business properly.

However, Wang Yun and other Zhongliang all said that meritorious service should be rewarded, otherwise the hearts of soldiers will be chilled, and Li Yuan defeated the Yellow Turban Bandit with endless troubles, so he should be rewarded even more. Contribute to the Great Han Dynasty.The mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right, and the public said that the public was right. Suddenly, it turned into a vegetable market again, and it was very lively.In desperation, Emperor Ling had no choice but to look at Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang pretended to be deep, and then said slowly: "I think what Wang Situ said is reasonable. As the saying goes, those who have made merits should be rewarded, and those who have done so should be punished. Li Yuan's defeat of the Yellow Turban Bandit is a great achievement, and he must be rewarded."

Seeing that Zhang Rang, Wang Yun and others supported the award, Emperor Ling ordered Li Yuan and others to be rewarded. However, Zhang Rang's help this time made General He Jin resentful and determined to eradicate the eunuch.

The reward from Luoyang soon spread to Runan, and the herald read the imperial edict in public. Emperor Ling appointed Li Yuan as Huben Zhonglang General and Runan Prefect, Xu Zhu as partial general, Huang Zhong as the guard, and Xi Zhicai as the army. Sima and Chen Qun are the long history.After Li Yuan received the reward, he granted Liu Pi the title of Lieutenant of Zhongyi and the captain of Xidu Fenwei, who assisted Huang Zhong in leading the troops.

Kong Ni was very happy when he learned of the emperor's reward. In order to better capture Li Yuan's heart, he decided to transfer Qiao's thousand soldiers and horses to Runan for Li Yuan to use. Li Yuan was very grateful for this move.

At this time, Li Yuan had 200 soldiers and horses under his command. In Runan County, he had the most troops except Kong Ni, and he had become a small prince. He decided to expand the Tiger Guards from 500 to 500 people. In command, Wang Wu is the deputy, and the remaining [-] people are led by Huang Zhong, with Liu Pi and Xidu as the deputy.

After dealing with the political affairs, Li Yuan immediately arranged for Zhang Ji to treat Xi Zhicai.In the prefect's mansion, Li Yuan, Zhang Ji and Xi Zhicai sat on the ground. After Li Yuan came back from Nanyang, he found that Xi Zhicai's complexion became worse and worse. It seemed that his condition was getting worse, which made him very worried.

After taking his pulse, Li Yuan asked anxiously: "Doctor Zhang, I wonder if Zhicai's illness can be cured?"

Zhang Ji patted his beard and replied: "It can be cured. Xi Junshi's illness is six points similar to Huang Xu's, both caused by wind and cold. However, Xi Junshi is naturally fond of alcohol, and drinking too much can cause severe damage to his lungs. That's why his cough is getting more and more serious. The treatment of this disease is not difficult, but it is not easy."

Li Yuan and Xi Zhicai breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Nengzhi, but Li Yuan was a little puzzled by Zhang Ji's last words, and asked, "Why did Doctor Zhang say that treatment is not difficult, but easy? What do you mean by this?"

"This disease also needs to take medicine for a long time to rectify it. It will take a year and a half to be completely cured, but the most important thing is that you must not drink alcohol during this period. If I touch alcohol again, there is nothing I can do."

Zhang Ji knows that it is difficult for anyone who is a good drinker to control himself not to drink. Once addicted, it is very difficult to quit, unless he is a very determined person.

"Don't worry, Doctor Zhang, I will empty out all the wine in Zhicai's house, and let people watch him all the time, so that he can't even see the wine jar, let alone drink." Li Yuan also knew that quitting alcohol is an important task. It was a difficult task, so he just hated it a little, and sent someone to watch Xi Zhi so that he couldn't even see the wine.

Xi Zhicai said with a mournful face, "My lord, you might as well let me die if you let me abstain from alcohol."

"Zhicai, just bear with it. As long as you recover from illness, I will give you a drink, otherwise nothing will be discussed." Li Yuan patted Xi Zhicai on the shoulder.

Zhang Ji also persuaded: "Mr. Xi, I know you like wine, but as the most important adviser under General Li, you have assumed a very important responsibility. Drinking is a trivial matter, but assisting General Li is a big matter. If you don't How can a good body help him sweep the world in the future?"

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai also realized the importance of curing diseases. Zhang Ji was very right. Didn’t he choose Mingzhu to display his talent? When he was young, how could he fall ill because of good wine? After figuring it out, Xi Zhicai made up his mind to quit drinking.

After sending Xi Zhicai away, Zhang Ji wanted to leave, but Li Yuan held him back and refused to let him go. Zhang Ji couldn't help asking, "General Li, does he have something else to say?"

"Doctor Zhang, where are you planning to go when you leave?" Li Yuan held Zhang Ji's arm, as if he was afraid that the other party would run away.

"Of course I want to go back to Nanyang."

"Is there something important to go back to Nanyang?"

Zhang Ji shook his head, "It's nothing important, I'm just used to being a traveling doctor."

"Doctor Zhang, please listen to me." Li Yuan pulled Zhang Ji back to the prefect's mansion and sat down, "Since you returned to Nanyang to treat patients, you can also treat patients in Runan, so why don't you stay in Runan?" How about South Africa going back to Nanyang?"

"General Li's words are wrong. I am from Nanyang. It is natural for me to go back to my hometown. I have long been used to practicing medicine and treating people everywhere. I am not used to living in the same place for too long." Zhang Ji has already heard what Li Yuan meant. Keep him, but he doesn't want to stay.

Li Yuan was not in a hurry, and continued to ask patiently: "So for Dr. Zhang, treating patients is the most important thing?"

Zhang Ji replied without hesitation: "Of course, saving lives and healing the wounded is my top priority."

"Since saving the dying and healing the wounded is the top priority, Doctor Zhang must not leave Runan."

Zhang Ji was puzzled, "Why did General Li say that?"

"Everyone knows that Dr. Zhang is a well-known doctor with superb medical skills, but Dr. Zhang likes to travel around as a doctor. If someone who is seriously ill goes to Nanyang to look for you and you happen to be away, wouldn't it delay the best time for treatment? ?” Li Yuan said slowly, he had already thought of how to keep Zhang Ji.

"Although General Li's words are reasonable, even if I don't do traveling medicine anymore, I should go back to my hometown Nanyang instead of staying in Runan?" Zhang Ji asked again.

"Doctor Zhang, you are wrong again." Li Yuan smiled and stood up, "Doctor Zhang, although you have excellent medical skills, you are the only one after all. However, there are countless people in the world who need treatment, and there are thousands of wounded who need treatment after the war. Tens of thousands, there are countless people who need to be treated after the plague. Even in Runan County, there are hundreds of patients who need to be treated, not to mention the patients in the entire Han Dynasty. How many people can you save, Dr. Zhang? ?”

"Uh... this..." Zhang Ji was at a loss for words, and couldn't answer Li Yuan's question. After thinking for a long time, he asked, "General Li is very wise, according to what you said, how should we cure all the people of the big man?"
