Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer, you dare to steal my horse!

Chapter 70 Cure Malaria?Bai Chuan's law!
"Since the establishment of our army, there has never been a plague of this scale."

"Is it true, as the rumors say, this is God's punishment?"

Cheng Yu looked at the soldiers who were suffering in every possible way, and couldn't help sighing quietly.

Jia Xu waved his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Master Cheng, don't talk nonsense."

"If it is heard by someone with a heart, it will definitely disturb the morale of the army with this excuse!"

Hearing Jia Xu's persuasion, Cheng Yu was helpless:

"Mr. Hua Tuo is here?"

Jia Xu nodded:

"It arrived yesterday."

"If Mr. Hua Tuo hadn't come here, I'm afraid no one can be cured so far."

"But Mr. Hua Tuo is just one person after all."

"If you want to cure all of these, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as reaching the sky."

At this time, both of them stopped thinking about attacking Jiangdong.

Whether or not the lives of these 80 troops can be saved now is already considered thankful.

"Report to the two lords, the prime minister has an order, and please go to the camp to discuss the matter quickly!"

At this moment, a guard rushed over and said out of breath.

Hearing this, the two couldn't help but look at each other, their faces stunned.

"The prime minister has made up his mind?"

Cheng Yu couldn't help but speak.

Jia Xu sighed quietly, but did not answer.

But also acquiesced.

At this moment, both of them thought that Cao Cao couldn't stand the situation and chose to give up the march.

Giving up at this time is undoubtedly a pity, but it is the most correct choice.

……

Just when the two came to Cao Cao's camp, they saw a strange scene.

Cao Cao actually had a smile on his face? !
Cheng Yu and Jia Xu couldn't help being stunned.

Could it be... the prime minister is crazy?
"I don't know why the prime minister is laughing?"

Cheng Yu said with a puzzled expression.

"Hahahaha, Zhongde, Wenhe, come here!"

"Jing Ming is really a heavenly man!"

While talking, Cao Cao handed the note to the two of them.

Cheng Yu opened the note with a puzzled expression.

Jingming?Shirakawa?
Bai Chuan had obviously been away for several days, why did he suddenly mention him?

But when the two saw the content on the note, the doubts on their faces disappeared immediately.

Instead, there was a look of surprise and ecstasy.

"Is this method really effective?"

Jia Xu said in shock.

"Malaria is treated with Artemisia annua, which is unheard of!"

There are not many words on the note, but it clearly describes the current method of dealing with this malaria.

There are many blood-sucking worms in the south, and the so-called malaria is schistosomiasis.

For treatment, take Artemisia annua boiled and take it.

Just two sentences can cure malaria?

Both Cheng Yu and Jia Xu had doubts about this matter.

So is Cao Cao.

But now, a dead horse can only be regarded as a living horse doctor.

"What is this Artemisia annua?"

Cao Cao asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Cheng Yu naturally didn't know, and silently shook his head.

But Jia Xu stroked her chin and said in a deep voice:

"I have seen Artemisia annua, it can be seen everywhere, it is no different from weeds."

"This thing, really can cure malaria?"

What these three people didn't know was that in the Jin Dynasty not long after now, there was a method of treating malaria with Artemisia annua.

Ge Hong's "Elbow Backup Emergency Prescription" records: hold Artemisia annua, soak it in two liters of water, wring it to get the juice, and take it all.

It was also recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" compiled by Li Shizhen later.

Now that there are so many sick people, wringing out the juice is obviously too slow.

Therefore, Bai Chuan directly wrote to cook it and take it.

Bai Chuan, who is familiar with history, knows very well that the biggest reason for Cao Cao's failure during the Battle of Chibi was that he was infected with schistosomiasis, that is, malaria.

At that time, no one knew how to treat this disease, and the method of using Artemisia annua was discovered bit by bit by later generations.

"Since that's the case, hurry up and prepare and give it a try."

Cao Cao said impatiently.

The situation at this time is imminent, and the battle situation is imminent.

Not long ago, there was a battle report from the spies ahead, saying that Jiangdong had begun to gather troops and prepare for a battle.

At such a critical moment, if he retreats without a fight, he will be ashamed of himself.

The morale of the soldiers will definitely be greatly reduced in the future.

"Here!"

Jia Xu and Cheng Yu also knew the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly sent people to collect Artemisia annua.

Just in case, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu went to Hua Tuo and informed Hua Tuo of the matter.

"Can Artemisia annua cure malaria?"

Hua Tuo couldn't help but froze when he heard the words, his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, Hua Tuo opened his mouth and said:

"I really can't figure out how Artemisia annua can treat malaria."

"But Artemisia annua is benign, and it won't be poisonous even if you take it. You might as well give it a try."

Hearing what Hua Tuo said, the two relaxed their hearts and hurriedly sent people to pick them.

Artemisia annua can be found in both the south and the north, and there are many of them everywhere.

After Jia Xu's description, the soldiers who were not yet sick hurried to look around.

In three hours, enough Artemisia annua had been collected.

Immediately afterwards, a large pot was set up, and all the Artemisia annua was thrown into it to cook.

Soon, an indescribable smell filled Cao Ying.

This smell caused the soldiers to frown.

They don't even know what is the use of cooking this thing.

Soon, the Artemisia annua juice was boiled and distributed among the soldiers.

Looking at this bowl of soup that was green and had a strange smell, the soldiers hesitated in every possible way.

Is something made from weeds really drinkable?
So that after nearly a quarter of an hour, no one dared to try.

No one dares to be the first person to eat crabs.

Soon, Cheng Yu discovered this.

Cheng Yu knew what these soldiers were thinking.

But he also knew that if he didn't try, it wouldn't be an option to go on like this.

"Soldiers! This thing can cure malaria!"

"The malaria is cured, and I'm ready to fight Jiangdong to the death!"

Cheng Yu shouted for a while, causing the soldiers' eyes to flash.

what?
Soup made from wild herbs can cure malaria?

Simply unheard of!

But since Cheng Yu said so, they simply gritted their teeth and drank the Artemisia annua water in the bowl into their mouths in one go.

"Bah, bah, bah! What is this?"

"Bitter and astringent, disgusting!"

"Don't vomit, don't you want to cure the plague?"

"The good medicine tastes bitter, drink it up!"

……

The taste of the Artemisia annua water was really unpalatable, but the soldiers had to drink bowl after bowl until they couldn't drink a drop anymore.

The method of boiling Artemisia annua into water is not unusable, but the medicinal effect is much worse than modern medicines.

Therefore, it can only be compensated by quantity.

Even though the soldiers were miserable, in order to survive, they had to grit their teeth and swallow.

"I hope this thing really works!"
