Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"The Great Detour Strategy!"

Zhao Xu was very excited.

He is a passionate young man and naturally has the ambition to unify the world. However, unification has always been only a vague ideal.

Now that Fan Zheng has proposed the Great Detour Strategy, he instantly has a clear goal. As long as he follows the Great Detour Strategy and realizes it step by step, he will be able to dominate the world in a matter of days.

Of course, we can also look at it the other way around. If the Song Dynasty could not even destroy Qingtang, the weakest among the countries, let alone dominate the world.

"Qingtang betrayed his trust twice in a row and attacked the Song Dynasty without any reason. He should indeed be severely punished!" Zhang Dun said coldly.

Xixia and the Song Dynasty were feuding, and war between the two countries was a common occurrence. The Song Dynasty had long been accustomed to it. However, the little Qingtang dared to bully the Song Dynasty. This made all the officials in the court very angry, and naturally they had to teach Qingtang a lesson.

"Qingtang's equipment is backward, but our Song Dynasty Tiefu Tu and Guaizima have been built, which are enough to surpass Qingtang in cavalry!" Privy Councilor Zeng Bu also agreed.

The fame of the battle between Tiefutu and Guaizima greatly increased the strength of the Song Dynasty cavalry. They had defeated Qingtang on the frontal battlefield. The remaining Qingtang soldiers were naturally not a concern. In terms of force, the Song Dynasty had the upper hand.

"It just so happens that Xixia was defeated. If the Liao Kingdom wants peace talks, it will definitely not interfere with Qingtang. This is the best time to destroy Qingtang." Cai Bian agreed.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all agreed. Firstly, they wanted to use Qingtang to kill chickens and monkeys to scare the surrounding small countries so that no one would dare to invade the Song Dynasty. Secondly, the reason and time to destroy Qingtang were ripe, and at the same time, they would gain benefits for the Song Dynasty. Excellent horse breeding land, this is three birds with one stone.

"Qingtang is indeed the itch of scabies, but it is not easy to get rid of Qingtang! Have you forgotten the air epidemic in Qingtang!" Lu Dafang said with a solemn face.

"Air plague!"

Suddenly, all the officials in the court were stunned. Everyone knew that Qingtang was weak, but Qingtang dared to invade the Song Dynasty repeatedly, so he was naturally confident. First, Qingtang was a nomadic tribe, and cavalry was popular, but the Song Dynasty cavalry did not have an advantage.

The second is the air epidemic. The famous Tang army was defeated by the Tibetan air epidemic. The Song army was not as powerful as the Tang army, and it would be even worse in the face of the air epidemic.

Zhao Xu was immediately disappointed. Fan Zheng's great detour strategy gave him the confidence to pacify the world. However, the first step of the great detour strategy, the destruction of Qingtang, encountered setbacks. Victory was clearly within easy reach, but the success was in vain due to the Qi epidemic.

Yang Wei looked at Fan Zheng and said sarcastically: "Master Fan has made the first contribution to Pingxia City twice in a row. He is indeed talented, but he is too eager for quick success and instant gain. If the Song Dynasty wants to be strong, it still needs good political leadership, wise kings and wise ministers. Only then can the Song Dynasty be revitalized.”

Fan Zheng had just made his first contribution and was in the limelight. The conservative old party naturally couldn't stand Fan Zheng and ridiculed him one after another.

Hearing this, Fan Zheng glanced at Yang Wei with disdain and said, "Qi plague? Have you forgotten Fan's origins?"

"Born?" Yang Wei frowned and looked at Fan Zheng coldly. Fan Zheng was just a small imperial doctor, how could he compare to officials like them who were Jinshi.

"Wait! Doctor Tai, doctor, evil doctor Fan Zheng! Qi plague!"

Yang Wei was shocked and looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief.

Other old party ministers also reacted and looked at Fan Zheng in shock.

"Could it be..." Su Song thought of a possibility and looked at Fan Zheng in surprise.

Zhao Xu also came to his senses and said worriedly: "Maybe Fan Aiqing has a way to cure the Qi epidemic."

If he were an ordinary person, he would be helpless in the face of the Qi epidemic. However, Fan Zheng is an evil doctor. Even Fan Zheng had a way to crack the epidemic in Luoyang, so it was easy to crack the Qingtang Qi epidemic.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly became short of breath. If the Song Dynasty could crack the Qingtang Air Epidemic, there would be no obstacles to destroying Qingtang, and the Great Detour Strategy would be implemented smoothly.

Fan Zheng nodded solemnly and said: "From the medical point of view, air plague is not a plague, because air plague is not contagious and only appears in the Qingtang area of ​​Tubo."

Su Song nodded slightly. It was precisely the Qi epidemic that could not be explained by doctors' ideas that made the doctors puzzled.

"Yes, according to the records of the past dynasties, as long as you arrive in Tubo, you will be infected with the air plague. However, as long as you leave the Tubo tribes, the air plague will be cured without medicine. This is also the reason why Qingtang is so confident. The alignment of the past dynasties can only be comforted. Lord." Zeng Bu said with a headache. It was the existence of Qi plague that made Tubo a headache for all dynasties.

Fan Zheng looked around and said: "Recently, doctors have been studying temperature and have discovered a phenomenon, that is, the higher the mountain, the lower the temperature. There are even many high mountains where the snow on the top does not melt all year round, but the summer is hot at the foot of the mountain."

Yang Wei was unconvinced and asked: "What does this have to do with the Qi epidemic?"

Fan Zheng solemnly said: "Of course it is related, because the temperature difference between day and night is huge in both Qingtang and the various tribes of Tubo. Even in summer, there are frosts. Wherever I go, there are glaciers and snowfields and high mountains covered with snow. So I think Qingtang The climate is generally the same as the climate at the top of a mountain.”

Yang Wei opened his mouth wide, looked up and said, "You are saying that the people in Qingtang are like living on top of our heads."

The ministers laughed loudly, thinking that Fan Zheng was just dreaming.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "No, Fan believes that the terrain of Qingtang is higher than the mountains we have seen, and it is connected into one. Fan prefers to call it a plateau. The tribes in Qingtang live all year round. On the plateau, people have already adapted to the local climate without any discomfort, but people in the Song Dynasty live in low-lying plains all year round. When they suddenly come to the plateau, their bodies will be extremely uncomfortable. Fan calls it altitude sickness."

"Altitude sickness?"

Su Song suddenly felt enlightened and nodded solemnly. Perhaps only this situation could reasonably explain the Qi epidemic.

Zhao Xu couldn't wait and asked the question that everyone was most concerned about: "So the gas epidemic is not a disease? How to treat it?"

Fan Zhengdao: "In the land of Tubo, there is a medicinal material called Rhodiola rosea. This medicine can alleviate gas plague. If you want to cure gas plague, you only need to live on the plateau for a few days. The body will slowly adapt to the plateau terrain. The same is true for gas plague." It can be cured without medicine.”

"I see?"

"It's so simple?"

All the officials in the court suddenly said.

"As for Qingtang, most of its grasslands are concentrated in the low-lying Hehuang land and near Qinghai Lake. There is no obvious altitude sickness here. The Song army did not need to worry about altitude sickness when they captured this place. The other territories in Qingtang are also not prone to altitude sickness. In Lhasa, the highest place, altitude sickness is not strong. As long as you take Rhodiola rosea and slowly march to adapt to the plateau environment, the Qingtang air epidemic can no longer stop the Song army." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"Okay!" Zhao Xu applauded.

Without the air epidemic, Qingtang would not be a concern at all, and the first step of the Song Dynasty's roundabout strategy would no longer be hindered.

"The officials are wise!"

All the officials bowed their heads.

This time, even the old party agreed. Without the gas epidemic, Qingtang would not be a concern at all. In addition, Qingtang refused to change despite repeated admonitions. It was perfect for the Song Dynasty to use Qingtang to scare the monkeys.

"Taking advantage of Qingtang's defeat, I asked the officials to order an immediate attack on Qingtang." Zeng Bu couldn't wait to say.

At this moment, the Qingtang cavalry had just lost troops and generals in the Six Prefectures of Xihe. This was a great opportunity to beat the drowned dog.

Zhao Xu's heart suddenly pounded.
