Chapter 176

Jia Xu suddenly stood up and persuaded: "Everyone, don't misunderstand the meaning of the lord. The lord's desire to withdraw troops is actually the intention of Jia Xu and Yuanzhi! Because the recent war is unfavorable, Huainan and Hulao spent a lot of military supplies, food and money but failed, which shows that our army The preparations are not sufficient. Sun Quan is attacking the general situation at this moment, it is not appropriate to fight head-on with Cao Cao, it is also appropriate to avoid the edge for the time being. What do you think?"

Wen Chou's stern face, like an iceberg, frowned and said: "Sir, what does it mean that you are not fully prepared? I'm sorry Wen Chou disagrees."

Jia Xu did have doubts in his heart, so he expressed his worries loudly: "Everyone, the reason why Huainan and Hulao were hit by unexpected constraints is indeed that we were not prepared enough politically, especially because we ignored the strategy of long-distance and short-term attack. The situation of the Great Han Dynasty at this time is exactly like the Warring States Period. The so-called death of lips and teeth, and the death of rabbits and foxes hurt others. Sun Quan and Ma Teng have seen this. Starting from the long-term perspective, they do not want to see either Yuan Cao become bigger, so they sent troops to intervene with all their strength. Under such circumstances, there is no possibility for our army to win. This withdrawal is to change this situation, rebuild politics, make friends with the princes, seek foreign aid, and make a comeback again.

Jia Xu's words are very reasonable, much more convincing than my dream, and no one is talking about it.Xu Shu coughed and said, "Since that's the case, everyone should go down and get ready to leave Guandu in two days."

Han, Jian'an Seventh Year October [-]th.After the Jizhou Army and Cao Jun signed an alliance, they returned to Jizhou City.Only Zhang He Wenchou was left to guard Suanzao, and Cangba guarded Yanjin and Baima.Due to the small population in Jizhou, I ordered the relocation of the residents south of the Yellow River and north of Sishuiguan to enrich Jizhou and implement large-scale farming.This was also done to strengthen the wall and clear the field, so that Cao Cao could not gain a foothold on the south bank of the Yellow River.

The sky was dark and cloud-covered, and the sky was so low that it could overwhelm you.Under the old mottled black-gray city walls of Jizhou City, there are civil and military generals in brocade robes and jade belts standing in the city.These people stood in two factions, leaving a wide white stone corridor in the middle for five horses to walk side by side.On both sides of the hundred officials, there are [-] personal guards of the general's mansion wearing red tassels on their heads, carrying treasured swords on their ribs and wearing white armor.These people are all extremely sturdy, with bright eyes, full of spirit, fierce and fierce, not only showing the majesty of the general's mansion, but also revealing infinite loyalty and strong fighting power.After the incident of Yuan Shang's rebellion, I personally selected it.This guard army is directly under the command of Shen Rong, and no one has the right to control it except General Yuan Xi.Behind the guards is a row of long rows of horse-repelling guns, consisting of more than fifty layers of overlapping defensive offensives, which are enough to block the impact of any powerful cavalry.This is also a strengthened measure taken after the rebellion, in order to ensure the absolute safety of my wife and children.Unexpectedly, under such strict control, something happened to Cai Yan——

The leading civil servants Xinpi, Mi Zhu, Cui Yan, Juhu, Yin Kai, Shen Rong and other generals all had pale complexions, pale lips, and drumming in their hearts.They didn't know how to explain to the master, and they felt uncomfortable.

On the main road leading to Liyang from Jizhou City, there is a large and clean army brigade with numerous swords and spears, clanging and rigorous pace, forming dozens, hundreds, and thousands of cavalry and infantry squares, stepping neatly towards the city gate.Be the first to be a general, with the flag flying, and write a letter to Yuan, the general of the Han Dynasty.

The tyranny of the army is in stark contrast to the dark and quiet city wall behind Simpi.Like a city wall, his heart was covered with a thin layer of ice, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down his hair, freezing into crystal icicles in front of his eyes.How can I explain this to the lord!

When the army arrived at the base of the city, all the officials knelt down and kowtowed at the same time under the leadership of Cui Yan: "Welcome to the triumphant return of the general."

Although I was anxious in my heart, I still turned over and dismounted; "My lords, please stand up, everyone has worked hard for Jizhou, thank you very much."

A few ignorant guys from behind immediately ran up to flatter and brag. "The general strategizes, and wins thousands of miles away—" "The general is invincible." All kinds of scalp-numbing praises are endless, and the city walls of Jizhou, which are flattering, shake and vibrate.

How could I have the heart to accept praises, so I immediately pulled Simpi and asked softly: "Sir, is something wrong with Mrs. Cai?" Instantly condensed into ice, and said sharply: "Madam Cai, something happened, right?" Shen Rong's face also changed color, tremblingly said: "My lord, ma'am - Madam has an accident - maybe I can't live -"

My eyes were blood red like a hungry beast, and I stared at him and cursed: "You bastard, why didn't you report to me earlier? You have caused the military situation to lie, you should be punished."

Xin Pi knelt on the ground and waved his hands in fear: "This matter has nothing to do with the trial of Rong. I didn't let him pass the news to the front. Pi was afraid that it would affect the morale of the army and shake the confidence of the lord in the decisive battle with Cao Cao."

Xu Shu didn't see it well, the lord was really anxious, and immediately dismounted and ran over and asked, "So, Madam is still alive?" Simpi didn't hide anymore, and said calmly: "I'm dying, unconscious, and all the doctors in the city are helpless. I can’t even find out what disease I’m suffering from.”

Tears welled up in Shen Rong's eyes, and he choked with sobs: "My lord, you can kill me. I'm sorry for Shen Rong, I didn't take good care of my wife, and I will die to apologize—" With a 'clang' sound, he drew out his saber, swiftly and fiercely Wipe it vigorously towards the neck.Thanks to my fast enough speed, I stretched my right arm into the shadow of the knife, and there was a series of "chi chi", and the blade rubbed against the fish scale copper plate of the black light armor to produce a series of dazzling sparks, and more than a dozen fish scales fell to my feet sparingly. Blood spattered on my arms.The distance was too close, Shen Rong used too much force, and actually cut off the armor. The sharp, pale and cold blade cut a deep gash three feet long on one of my forearms.

Shen Rong closed his eyes and waited for death, opened his eyes when he heard the voice, jumped up and cried, "My lord, how can you make me live—" he fell to his knees in a plop.

I was worried about Cai Yan, and I didn't have the time to buy people's hearts like Liu Bei, and shouted loudly: "You son of a bitch, it was my wife who had the accident, I didn't die, why did you die, get out of here and go to defend the city, like Unlike a man, isn’t he a general? If you want to stay like this in the future, don’t mess around in Jizhou anymore, the Hebei Army doesn’t have a coward like you.”

Shen Rong's crying stopped: "Master, the last general has committed a crime, and the last general will not die. Even if I die, I will die on the battlefield." But he said in his heart that a person like the lord is a real man. I don't know how many times stronger those princes who are fishing for fame and buying people's hearts are.

Jia Xu hurriedly said, "My lord, go to the city quickly, my wife may be saved—" One sentence reminded me, I got on the horse, and all the officials immediately divided a path. At this time, who would dare to block the lord's horseshoe.They only saw a black light flashing in front of their eyes——

When I rushed to the General's Mansion, Zhen Mi had already led the maidservants, women and children in sackcloth and filial piety, preparing to send funerals to Cai Yan, a confidante with a miserable fate.There is a sea of ​​white clothes and white armor inside and outside the General's Mansion. The penetrating white reflects the sad light in the sun, which makes my scalp numb and my hair stand on end.The two black and white python papers, symbolizing death, swayed in the air in the wind.The horseshoe stopped in front of the gate, and the gatekeepers panicked. Some went in to report and some came to bow and greet me. I got off the horse and looked straight at the funeral post in front of the gate. The skeleton of my whole body was whipped in an instant. Lie, exhausted, exhausted, could it be that I am too late?

I picked up a boy who was shaking in a ball on the ground, and roared: "Madam, is Madam dead?" The boy was almost fainted by the terrifying expression, and he shook his head again and again: "No, no—soon—" I Throwing him on the ground is like throwing a lifeless sack.The boy's wailing did not arouse my sympathy at all.People are so selfish!If throwing this boy to death can bring back my lover's life, I will smash him into meatloaf without hesitation.

I rushed into the courtyard where Cai Yan lived, and Zhen Mi came out to meet me.She cried like tears, and her voice was a little hoarse; "Husband, I'm sorry for your wife—Sister Cai Yan——"

I asked anxiously, "Is she still alive?"

Zhen Mi broke down in tears and said, "Go and see her, I'm afraid it won't be an hour."

"Get out—" I yelled at everyone in the room, including Mrs. Gan and Diao Chan.

The black curtain, the flickering soul-inducing lamp, and the lonely flame danced in front of Cai Yan's lying body. I seemed to be trembling with fear in my heart, and I took two steps forward and lay down in front of the couch.

After just one glance, I couldn't help but burst into tears and wailed loudly.Cai Yan was wearing a plain robe, lying there motionless on his back, his cherry lips were as red as peony, pale without a trace of blood, his charming, enchanting face became dead silent, and his beautiful eyes, full of coquettish smiles, were tightly closed with.

Cai Yan's breath is like a thread, and the temperature on his body is gradually subsiding, like a cup of hot tea placed in the courtyard in winter.That cup of hot tea is like her life at the moment.It was as if a basin of cold water was poured from the top of my head, and the cold air rushed straight from my spine to my forehead, and suddenly the whole room was filled with the desolation of death.

I cried and shouted, and the wind was blowing in my ears, making a noise.It is impossible for Cai Yan to leave me like this. When I left, I was still a living person. Why can't I live without seeing each other for a few months.

Although she was unconscious, she could vaguely see the anticipation between her brows, as if she was trying her best to maintain the weak flame of life and wait for me to come back.I was so sad that I tightly held her pair of catkins lying flat on my chest.

This is how creation teases people. Just by her whispering words and the gentle touch of her delicate hands, I fell in love with her hopelessly.These jade hands create a lifetime of affection.I lost my voice: "Don't die, you don't die, I said that I want to repay these hands, you have to give me a chance—"

What is it that greets me?Is there a loving but painful second half of life?I can't stand it!
Cai Yan's fingers suddenly moved slightly in my palm, hooking my whole body numb, I bent down and shook her delicate body in shock; "You are not dead, Wen Ji, get up, get up, you can still be saved , hold on, I'll save you, turn around—"

Damn, I forgot, I am the top doctor in the Three Kingdoms; "Wen Ji, when you die, I will let all the quack doctors in Jizhou bury you with you. No, I will kill all the doctors in the world." silver needle.He took Cai Yan's arm casually, caught his pulse, and listened quietly to the melody of life that was so tiny that it almost disappeared.

No, no, my God, what is this pulse?It's fucking poisoned.Someone poisoned Wen Ji to me!I cried bitterly again, more intense than last time, all because of me, otherwise how could someone poison and murder a weak woman.Who was it, could it be Zhen Mi?Impossible, Zhen Mi Xianliang Shude is not this kind of person.I dare not think about it, my heart seems to be torn into pieces by a pair of invisible hands——

What kind of poison is this?Damn, I haven't seen it, haven't seen it.With my medical skills, I can't even diagnose what kind of poison it is.Medical classics—the medical classics, which I carried with me, I immediately took them out from my pocket. My trembling hands were as fast as the vibrating wings of a fly, and I couldn’t open them at all. After a long time, I found a way to temporarily suppress the toxicity --bloodletting.

There are three important "Ashi points" recorded in Hua Tuo's medical books. These three points are not among the 360 ​​points, but they are important for regulating the yin and yang of the five elements. If the human body is poisoned, most of the toxins will be concentrated in these three points in the end. In the "Ashi point", since these three points are the intersection of muscles and meridians, they will automatically turn around with the movement of the human body.Not easy to find.Hua Tuo is the only one who knows the acupoints in the world, and it is even more unique to know that Ashi acupoint can be healed by bloodletting.However, medical books say that this can only maintain life, but not save life. To save life, we must try to detoxify.

A small, paper-thin spatula was taken out of the needle pouch, and was heated and sterilized on the oil lamp above Cai Yan's head. It burned red and turned blue, and the black smoke turned green.My hands groped back and forth on the soles of her feet, lower abdomen, and top door, looking for the deeply hidden "Ashi point". According to medical books, if there is toxin in Ashi point, it will become hard and slightly cold.

I tentatively lowered the knife, when the tip of the scraper touched the delicate skin, there was a light hissing sound, and the smell of scorched skin filled my nostrils.A stream of black blood flowed from the wound pierced by the knife, and the smell of scorching was immediately replaced by a stench.I got down on my knees, sucked out the foul-smelling and disgusting black blood, and spit it out on the ground. I felt relieved, it seemed that it was poisonous blood.The second knife was on the bottom of the foot, it was not difficult, it was carefully disinfected like last time, pierced in a measured manner, released black blood, sucked it out, and spit it out on the ground.The most difficult is the third knife, which is near the spiritual platform above the head, if you are not careful, it may be self-defeating.I held the knife in both hands, prayed to God, and whispered to Cai Yan: "Wen Ji, if this knife goes down, you and I will be separated, and we will see the difference immediately. You should bless yourself, you will die and I will die." I don't know how to live!"

The black blood on the top of the head oozes out along the fragrant hair, I let out a long breath, just now the knife was half an inch off, and this person is finished.

There were two soft "squeaks", Zhen Mi pushed the door open and came in, she was startled and at a loss when she saw my actions.I wiped the cold sweat from my brow, and said in a deep voice, "I can't die for the time being."

Being unable to die for a while does not mean that she will be able to survive. One day, if the poison on her body is not cured, she will not be able to wake up, and her life will be in danger at any time.More importantly, what kind of poison is this?Who poisoned her?

This matter was entrusted to Pei Bao and Ma Dun to lead the special team to handle it, mobilizing secret agents and secret posts throughout the city to search for all possible clues.My instruction to them: "I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

And my task is to study detoxification day and night without sleep.It's useless, Hua Tuo can't help, maybe this kind of poison has never been seen before, and it can't be solved, it can't be solved.

Five days later, when Mrs. Gan opened the door to look at me, she found that I had a layer of white hair on my head.No progress, no progress.The despair in the silence, like the lifeless wilderness in winter, makes people feel crazy.It looks like it's all over, and there's nothing left to do but take her into the 21st century.But that's simply impossible!
I was the only one breathing in the room, and when I looked at her, I could hear her giggling in my ears; when I walked to the yard, I saw the chirping birds in winter, as if I saw her holding Yuan Zheng's little hand and feeding; When I was on the couch, I looked at the row of writing brushes, paperweights, and inkstones neatly arranged on the desk in front of the window, and I thought of her patting paper, dipping ink, swiping brushes, and composing poems.A book was still placed on the bedside, and four pages were opened, separated by a bamboo stick, which was her habit.Her life is very regular, and everything stays on the established track.Everything in the house is still in order, it seems that she doesn't know that she will be in danger.Zhen Mi said that she didn't collapse suddenly, but became weaker and thinner day by day.The last sentence that fell down was: "Can I see him for the last time?" She had held this sentence in her heart for a full month.

Every table and chair here, every needle and thread can evoke infinite memories in my heart.I couldn't save her, and I began to become extremely desperate.

On the sixth day, Pei Bao suddenly ran in from the outside and said excitedly, "My lord, we have a clue, and we have caught someone." His face was covered with sweat.

I stood up abruptly, rushed over and grabbed his collar: "Who, who did you catch?"

Pei Bao panted along his saliva and said, "It's a Hun who came up from the desert. He has a poison in his hand, which is extremely powerful. The whole city has arrested two hundred people like this and killed more than fifty. In the end, even after scaring and investigating, it was confirmed that it was the poison of this guy, and he also said that the poison was——snake venom.”

Venom!No wonder I tried so many detoxification drugs for Cai Yan, but none of them worked. It turned out to be snake venom!It's a chronic neurotoxin!Only serum can save lives!
"Bring him up, quickly, no, take him to the prison, tell your people to come over and guard this room, no one can come in except me, not even Madam, go. Don't let the wind go."
