During the day, the four gates of Linxiang City were wide open, shops were open as usual, and the lives of the people were not affected. Except for the change of the flag on the top of the city, everything else was the same as usual!

The common people are like this, they will support whoever let them have food for hunger, clothes for cold, reward for merit, and punishment for crime.

"Big Sima - his achievements shine through, and his name will be left in history!"

"Win the drink! - everyone wins the drink - ha ha!"

………………

Late at night - in the grand hall of the prefect, Xiao Yi sat at the head seat and held a grand banquet. Hundreds of people attended the meeting, including military generals, local officials, and powerful family heads!

Gao Shun, Dian Wei and others sat on the right side - pushing cups and changing cups, drinking to their heart's content, celebrating another military victory. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun also joined in, showing complacent faces, obviously calling themselves heroes!

Xiao Yi has always been kind to his subordinates, and every time he sieges a city, he must reward those who have meritorious service, including official positions, property, beauties...everything, so all the soldiers in Cao Ying are willing to fight with Da Sima, seeing it as a good opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune !

Liu Pan, Huang Zhong and others sat on the left. Although they toasted frequently, their expressions were very unnatural. They peeped out of the lobby from time to time, looking worried and scared!

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to surrender. If you can return to your hometown safely, you can just be an ordinary citizen. I don’t know how many people surrendered, but they were settled by the victors.

Previously, Cao Cao sent four counties, Guiyang, Wuling, and Lingling all surrendered, only Changsha County resisted stubbornly, defeated the first crusade, killed more than [-] Cao troops, and shot and wounded the clan general Cao Hong!

Although Xiao Yi agreed - as long as Kaesong surrendered and let the past go, everyone was still uneasy, for fear that he would backtrack and invite a group of demoted officials to come.

"Since the army marched south, it has depended on the courageous fighting of the soldiers. Xiangyang was taken first, Changban was taken second, and Changsha is now taken. Eight of the nine counties of Jingzhou have been captured, and only Jiangxia is left. It is just around the corner!

It is a common practice in the army to reward meritorious service. I have already reported to the prime minister, and to the officers and men who have meritorious service - they will be promoted to ranks, promoted and reused. As for the others... Ha ha! "

In the middle of the banquet, Xiao Yi suddenly stopped drinking, held up the bronze cup in the air, and glanced at the surrenders on the left with a playful look. Wherever his eyes went, everyone's scalps exploded and their necks felt cold!

Just when the ministers were restless, thinking that they were going to throw cups as a sign, ambushes everywhere, and kill them all, Xiao Yi changed his tone and offered rewards:

"Liu Pan is honest and self-disciplined, loves the people like a son, and still serves as the prefect of Changsha County, handling public affairs in the territory, and mobilizing taxes to fund the military!"

"Huang Zhong is brave and good at fighting, and he is good at training troops. He still leads the troops in the headquarters, and he is granted the title of General Fenwei, Marquis of the Capital, and three hundred households in the township!"

"The rest of the civil and military officials, big and small, are still in their original posts and keep their posts. If there are outstanding talents and meritorious achievements, I will definitely promote and reuse them!"

………………

"Da Sima has treated you so kindly, we will do our best to repay it with death—woo woo!"

"Da Sima has a compassionate heart, he is our reborn parents, reborn parents!"

After being dazed for a while, Liu Pan led a group of surrenders, kowtowing desperately to express their gratitude, some of them were so excited that they burst into tears!

I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to save my life, keep my official position, and the possibility of being promoted to a noble. Such a huge contrast, how can everyone not be grateful, and then repay it with death?

Huang Zhong's expression was agitated, and his body trembled. He had suffered for most of his life, but he was just a little Zhonglang general. He thought he would have no chance in this life-to make contributions and become famous!

Unexpectedly, just after returning to obedience and not making an inch of merit, he was conferred the title of General Fenwei and Marquis of Duting. Although it is only the lowest level of marquis, it can be regarded as a marquis anyway. How many people have pursued the glory in their lives?

Huang Zhong was even more convinced that with his phoenix-mouthed broadsword and sunset bow, as long as he followed Da Sima closely and fought bravely on the battlefield, he would definitely make meritorious deeds, and Tinghou and Xianghou were not out of the question!

Not to kill and demote officials, but to promote and reuse them. This is Xiao Yi's brilliance. Since the army went south, although the military has progressed smoothly, it is easy to win the city, but difficult to win the hearts of the people!

Since ancient times, strong dragons have never overwhelmed local snakes. If Cao Jun wants to occupy Jingzhou, he needs huge manpower and material support. He must cooperate with the old forces, that is, Jingzhou surrenders, in order to quickly gain a foothold!

There are also many kinds of surrenders. Those like Cai Mao and Zhang Yun use their talents but not their people, those like Liu Pan use their people but not their hearts, and those like Huang Zhong use both their people and their hearts !

Next, the banquet was changed again, everyone continued to drink and have fun, and people who let go of their hearts - frequently toasted and drank happily.

"Swoosh! - Master, go back quickly, I'm afraid the eldest son will... alas!"

During the banquet, a servant in green clothes and a small hat slipped into the lobby quietly, and whispered something in Huang Zhong's ear. The latter immediately changed his face, and then asked the servant to step down for a while, and continued to celebrate his success with drinking, but It seems restless!

"Old General Huang is restless. Could it be that there is something important at home? If there is anything you need to help, please feel free to ask. Besides wielding knives and guns, I also know a little bit about Qihuang!"

Xiao Yi thought carefully and guessed that something happened to Huang Zhong's family, and most likely, it had something to do with his 'medicine pot son'!

"The dog is seriously ill, I'm afraid it will die, if Da Sima can save the dog's life, the old man will repay it with death-mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire, keep going forward!"

Huang Zhong was born in a poor family and married late. He only had a son at the age of 35. He loves him like a heart, but his son is not in good health. He has been sick for several years, and all kinds of medical treatments have not improved, but he has become more and more heavy!

The tiger is the king of beasts, even if he pities the youngest son, how can Huang Zhong be an exception? Moreover, he has also heard that Xiao Lang with a ghost face - the appearance of a celestial being, is proficient in martial arts, archery, riding, calligraphy, painting, playing cards... He has excellent medical skills, not inferior to the genius doctor Hua Tuo!

............................................................

"Da da da!"

Rescuing people is like fighting a fire, not daring to delay for a moment, leaving everyone to continue drinking, Xiao Yi took dozens of personal soldiers, and commonly used medicine boxes, and under the leadership of Huang Zhong, he left the prefect's mansion and galloped all the way in the night...

Huang Zhong's mansion is in Beicheng, an old and dilapidated courtyard, the houses inside are low and poorly decorated, and there are only five or six old servants. It seems that the life of this tiger general is very shabby!

Everyone went directly to the bedroom. In the dark room, only two sheep oil lamps were lit, exuding a pungent smell. A young man was lying on the soft couch - a slender figure with a resolute face. He was seven or eight points similar to Huang Zhong. It's his only son Huang Shu!

There was an old woman sitting next to her, weeping unceasingly. It was Huang Zhong's wife, the Qin family.

"This is Zhuojing-Clan Qin, come and pay homage to Master Sima!"

"Old Mrs. Huang Qin, I have met Lord Sima!"

"Your Madam, you don't need to be too polite. I heard that your son is not feeling well, so I have a little understanding of the art of Qi and Huang, so I came to visit for a while!"

...........................

The Qin family is just an ordinary woman, she usually does not leave the gate, and the biggest official she has ever seen is the prefect of Changsha. Hearing that the black-faced young man who came here is the great Sima of the court - ghost-faced Xiao Lang, she was at a loss for a while up!

Fortunately, Xiao Yi's attitude was easy-going, and after a few comforting words, he sat on the edge of the soft couch, touched Huang Shu's pulse with his fingers, his face suddenly became serious, and he began to ask about the past...

The matter is related to the life and death of their son, so the couple naturally dare not hide it. It turned out that Huang Shu had no physical problems when he was a child, but he was as strong as a little tiger. Huang Zhong passed on his martial arts and taught him very strictly!

During Huang Shu's time, he grew up to be a heroic young man with several hundred catties of strength in his arms. He was good at swordsmanship and able to open a four-stone iron-armed bow. His bravery was not inferior to his father. Huang Zhong and his wife were also very satisfied and looked forward to their son's achievements. , Guangzong Yaozu!

But more than three years ago, Huang Shu went hunting alone in the mountains and killed a tiger with his bare hands. After returning home, he suddenly felt cold all over, as if he had typhoid fever!

After that, many famous doctors were invited, and they all said that he had typhoid fever, but he took countless decoctions, but he didn't see any improvement. Instead, his body became thinner and thinner day by day.

In the past few months, the condition has become more and more serious, and coma occurs from time to time. Huang Zhong and his wife tried their best to spread their wealth, but it was of no avail. They could only resign themselves to fate!

"Based on the diagnosis of the pulse condition, the young master is not suffering from typhoid fever, but is suffering from a kind of poison - male and female ice Gu!"

After Xiao Yi felt his pulse, he tore open Huang Shu's skirt, and saw several old scars on his thin chest, which were left by the tiger's claws!

Chapter 1257 Male and Female Ice Gu

The Baiyue tribe in Jiaozhou has the custom of domesticating Gu poison. They catch highly poisonous snakes, insects, rats and ants in the wild mountains, and then put them into an object to make them gnaw and kill each other. The only survivor is ' insanity! '

There are many types of Gu, such as snake Gu, dog Gu, cat ghost Gu, scorpion Gu, toad Gu... They can kill people invisible, and the dead are in so much pain that no one who hears it will change color!
