Practicing Medicine in Three Kingdoms

The next day, the General's Mansion sent someone to invite Li Yinzhou to serve the sick.

It was Sun Quan's headache again.

In the years of civil strife, he had forced Liu Bei to mediate in the Han Dynasty to contain Cao Cao. Unlike Gu Shao's small troubles, Li Yinzhou used heavy hands and ruthless drugs to cover it up seamlessly. look.Later, I told him to cultivate with peace of mind so as not to be in danger, but he also knew that the overall situation was at hand, how could he ignore it, and he was tired of worrying and thinking year after year.

Walking step by step along the red wall after the rain, I ran into Zhu Zhi who was leaving in a hurry.

The two met face to face, nodding each other as a greeting.

The moment he passed by, he heard Zhu Zhi's deep voice: "I heard that Mister participated in the Battle of Chibi."

Li Yinzhou paused, and slightly closed his eyes to look at him lightly.

The afterglow of the slanting light fell along the high wall, cut into a line of light and shadow on the ground, and fell on Zhu Zhi's face, sweeping the frowning eyebrows into shadows.

After a moment's pause, Zhu Zhi sighed and said: "This old man used to boast of being frivolous, but he is nothing compared to Gong Jin. When Cao Cao came to declare war, even Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong felt that we would lose. Zhou Lang made a generous statement and analyzed the pros and cons. His words were really inspiring. Thirty thousand against 20 sounds unbelievable, and it is simply not something that can be done.”

And Zhou Yu did it.

Zhu Zhi said again: "The old man thought it was over. I didn't expect that he would dare to counterattack Jiangling's intention to the north bank, and he actually won again."

At this point, he gave a low laugh, extremely relieved.

"He has such a temper. He looks lonely, but he is actually more arrogant and mad than Gan Ning and his ilk. Now that he wants to take Xichuan, I'm afraid Xichuan is already in his pocket."

It is true that today may not be the best time to take Xichuan, but no one doubts that he can take Xichuan.

Li Yinzhou quietly listened to his words, and only asked: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Zhu Zhi's face was old and chapped with deep wrinkles, his eyes accustomed to seeing the cold and warm of the world were fixed on the young man in front of him, but he asked, "But after this time, will he come back?"

The wind picked up suddenly.

The ground was muddy and rolling gravel splashed on the ankles, which was icy cold.

Li Yinzhou's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his voice also cooled down: "If he wants to rebel, he can set up another family in Dantu ten years ago. Why wait until the lord is full-fledged today?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhi sighed.

"But others may not think so."

Hearing this, Li Yinzhou loosened his clenched fists, the cold light in his eyes faded, and with a slight blink, he seemed to be as gentle as usual.

Facing the hunting wind, Zhu Zhi smiled wryly in a moment of silence: "People's words are formidable, but people's hearts are even more formidable. My lord can trust him, but I can't help guarding against him. It was a compromise to let him station troops in Jiangling. I will still reuse him for a year and a half. But Gong Jin is too eager, how will the people of the world think of him, and how will the lord agree."

Li Yinzhou finally did not answer Zhu Zhi's words.Perhaps Zhu Zhi didn't have much hope for him, but at the time of Jiangling's great victory and Sun Quan's defeat in Hefei, Zhou Yu's call for troops directly brought the hidden contradiction to the forefront, which was almost obvious to the public.

……

After waiting in the courtyard for a while, until the sky turned dark and the stars rose, the civil servants and military generals who visited in Sun Quan's room left one after another.

Their facial expressions were very different, and they obviously held different opinions, but none of them could get a definite answer from Sun Quan.

The evening wind blows against the treetops, silently rubbing out a touch of fresh green on the withered branches, Li Yinzhou looks down at the first leaves of the new year, but hears a faint voice from behind: "It's here?"

Sun Quan was wearing a large crane feather cloak and walked slowly to his side.

At midnight, the Milky Way circulates.

The bright starlight fell into those deep and cold eyes, coating them with a layer of cold and lonely light, so cold to the extreme, it was like still water without waves, only revealing a faint loneliness.

Sun Quan looked up at Xinghe, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, when Guping Jiangxia, you and Gu Shao were both in Haichang, now it's rare to go back to Wu, but it looks like Gu lost again."

Li Yinzhou did not expect him to say this.

But if you think about it, you will understand.

Gossip is like dripping water, it seems to leave no trace when it flows through the heart, but year after year, no matter how hard the heart is, it will inevitably dig holes.Perhaps it is only in front of their old friends who have always been friends that the young protagonist occasionally removes the mask of arrogance and coldness, and says a few words that cannot be said to his subordinates.

He followed Sun Quan's eyes to look at the sky, and said softly: "How did the Lord lose?"

Sun Quan glanced at him lightly.

Li Yinzhou looked directly at the past: "My lord sent troops to Hefei to support Jiangling. Since Jiangling won, my lord will naturally win."

He paused, his eyes lowered, and a faint shadow fell under his eyelashes.

"Other people watch the stars, but I feel that the night sky is vast and all-encompassing."

These words are not purely to comfort Sun Quan.

Later generations always speculated about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers with unkind eyes, but ignored that when the army was overwhelming and the soldiers approached the Yangtze River, only Sun Quan entrusted his trust to Zhou Yu unswervingly; Without hesitation, Zhou Yu's glory and glory were fulfilled.

The vastness of the night sky, illuminated by the stars.

Sun Quan would not understand this truth, and he would not be afraid of Zhou Yu because of it, but the word "lord" is on his shoulders. Above it is the turmoil, and below it are millions of people, and there is no room for missteps.

Hearing what he said, Sun Quan turned his head and smiled lightly.

The cold frost in the eyes is like winter snow, shining with a delicate light.

Li Yinzhou only felt that this sincerity was so dazzling that he couldn't look straight at it.

After chatting for a few words, he diagnosed his pulse.

This time it wasn't pretending to be sick, it was because he really had a severe headache that he was willing to show his weakness. I don't know how he survived these few years, but he didn't show his weakness in front of others.

After the prescription was prescribed and handed over to the servants, Sun Quan personally sent him to the gate of the mansion.

"My lord." At the time of parting, Li Yinzhou finally uttered the words that weighed heavily in his heart, "What you have is not just Gongjin."

Sun Quan looked at him thoughtfully, nodded and said, "I understand."

On the second day, Sun Quan agreed to Zhou Yu's request to march west.

Gu Shao couldn't believe it: "What did you say that actually moved him?"

Despite the rush of time, there are not a few people who are in favor of the Western Expedition. This group of high-spirited main battle parties failed to please Sun Quan. How can he make a big difference with a few words?

Li Yinzhou glanced at him, and said, "I just spoke from his heart."

Sun Quan had the courage to face Cao Cao at a huge disadvantage, and his ambitions were of course not limited to an inch of land in the east of the Yangtze River. What's more, Liu Bei was recharging his energy in Xishu. If he could win Xichuan, it would almost be equivalent to occupying the military high ground.From this point of view, there is no contradiction between his and Zhou Yu's opinions.

He is only afraid of the concentration of military power, which is difficult to deal with.

After all, he may not always agree with Zhou Yu.

The deployment along the river has been scattered and decided, and the military power that can be given out has been carefully estimated.Compared to this, it might be better to say that he never doubted Zhou Yu's loyalty, and his previous actions were more to shake the mountain and remind those who have evil intentions who is the real master.

But the rumors continued to intensify.

Everyone firmly believes that Zhou Yu can win.

But what about after winning?

Under a group of suspicious eyes, Xi Zheng's footsteps are finally moving forward in Jiangling.

In the short and peaceful few days, there was also an inconspicuous order passed down.

Sun Quan ordered Gu Shao to replace his young neighbor Sun as the prefect of Yuzhang County, and he took up his post immediately.

Of course, this is not a big deal in the eyes of others. Sun Linyuan was only nine years old, and all the affairs in Yuzhang County were handled by the principals of the surrounding counties. Waiting for the lord's own confidants.

Gu Shao's status as the direct son of the Gu family is dignified, and he became famous at a young age with outstanding writings. This decision cannot be wrong in terms of emotion and reason.

Only Gu Shao was silent for a moment.

He planned to stay in Haichang for a long time.

"In fact, teaching in Haichang is very good." Facing the rustling river wind, he complained half-jokingly, "When I wanted to become an official, the lord always quarreled with me. Now I am happy to educate one side, but he can't see it." I am used to leisure, if I knew he was so difficult to serve, I should have severed ties with him since I was a child."

When he said this, his eyes fell on the vast land that gradually regained its vitality after the disaster in Wu County, and a nostalgic smile stained his lips.

After all, this is where he grew up for many years, leaving too many memories.

Li Yinzhou knew that there were some things that Gu Shao should not ask, and he would never mention them again. He just chatted like a chat: "I heard that the patients who moved out for quarantine have also recovered, and they are going back to the city soon. You just stay and do it." Hard work, it is better to go early."

Seagulls spread their wings and slid towards the blue sky, and gusts of river wind rushed in, bringing a free flow of air from south to north.

Gu Shao narrowed his gaze, slammed Li Yinzhou's shoulder with his arm, and finally said: "...There will be a period later."

Li Yinzhou watched him leave.

Gu Fan Yuan Ying gradually swallowed into the boundless blue sky.

As in the past, there will be no turning back.

……

The refugees dispersed and the noisy Gu Shao was sent away, and the medical clinic in the south of the city suddenly became deserted.In just a few days, I feel that the world has changed a new look, and everything seems to be revived in the spring breeze and rain.

The tranquility was broken on the seventh day of the Jiangling army's westward expedition.

Today, it is raining.

Sun Quan stood in the rain, the splashed mist wet his eyelashes, his cold and solemn eyes were as red as blood.The distinct hostility was forced into the depths of his eyes, and his voice was as deep as the roar of some kind of wild beast——

"You already knew?"

After being separated by heavy rain curtains, his expression was distorted and fuzzy. Fate seemed to play ridiculous jokes on his life time and time again, making him always lose important people in his life when he wished, from his father to his elder brother to the present. , How much more can he lose?

Li Yinzhou stepped through the cold rain and walked in front of him.

He said: "It's only a few days earlier than the lord."

wow——

Before the words were interrupted, a sharp palm wind cut through the rain curtain and slammed heavily on the wall behind him.

A thin line of blood slid down the cracked wall pattern.

Sun Quan's eyes were almost pressed against his face.

His eyes were bloodshot.

He almost questioned: "Since you knew that he was seriously injured in Jiangling, why didn't you tell Gu? You knew that his life was dying, why did you persuade Gu to allow him to march west?"

Why?

Zhang Ji's words still linger in his ears.

"When I arrived in Jiangling, his arrow wound had already penetrated deep into his lungs. Unless there is a glimmer of life by cutting open his lungs, there is no way to save him. But he absolutely refused to agree."

How could Zhou Yu agree.

The tug-of-war in Yiling finally broke through the one-year stalemate, and the opportunity for battle was fleeting. At such a critical juncture, how could a governor bet on the lives of 3 people and the thousands of innocents behind him, on his own survival? ?

Zhang Ji only sighed deeply.

"...I promised him not to say anything, and I tried my best to help him survive, but it was limited. Ah Yin, a doctor who hangs the pot for the rest of his life, if he can't live for a hundred years, at least he should make his wish come true."

……

The eyelashes blinked, and the unstoppable raindrops rolled down the cheeks.

Li Yinzhou twisted his eyelids hard to restrain his emotions. He still has a master to wipe off the cold rain for him, but the general in front of him, he has no father or brother to help him support this world.

He could only grit his teeth and keep calm: "My lord, the Jiangling battle must be won."

For this victory, they had shed too much blood. Maybe not much was won, but there was very little left to lose.

Knowing that his time was numbered, Zhou Yu chose to cater to the speculations of others with an ambitious letter of gauntlet, and bear the suspicion alone.

This is the last thing he can do for Sun Quan and Jiangdong after the war.

The rain became heavier and louder, and the sound of the rain was so loud that it was almost empty, and the colors of the world, mountains and rivers were suddenly blurred in the cold silence.

Li Yinzhou only felt that his neck was wet.

In the cold rain, there is warmth.

Sun Quan's sinking voice was next to his ear: "He even guessed that Gu was going to cut his military power, the paper of war had been prepared long ago, only Gu is a fool, and he was played by you without knowing it. "

There is nothing more sorrowful than life and death, and the young protagonist is not immune.

Li Yinzhou stared at the supposedly ruthless general in front of him for a long time, then Fang said: "He also knows that the lord will allow him to go west."

When Zhou Yu was dying, he wrote the letter of invitation for the Western Expedition, perhaps to confirm the speculation of others, or to fulfill Sun Quan's reputation, but this was also the last journey of his life.

At the end of his life, his dream was still granted and echoed.

The rain is endless, and the world is full of vicissitudes.

Sun Quan choked with sobs for a moment, then slowly lowered the fist that had hit the wall, held it by his side, and clenched it tightly.

--------------

In early spring and February, Zhou Yu's coffin returned to Wu, and according to his last wish in Jiangling, he was buried in Lujiang River, beside Chaohu Lake.

After a few years of separation, the scenery of Shu County in Lujiang remains the same. Wind, rain and war have not destroyed this thousand-year-old county. The setting sun outlines a heavy outline, standing still like a mountain.

The people who came to welcome the coffin stood all over the embankment.They held oil lamps in their hands, and the faint lights fluttered in the river wind, illuminating the way they came.

I don't know who yelled.

"Look, they're back!"

The setting sun is like fire, igniting the blue sky and burning up the river flowers.In the smog that danced all over the river, all the warships, merchant ships, and small boats that saw them off were replaced with white sails, and slowly appeared at the end of the water and sky.

Thousands of sails flutter in the heart of the river, facing the long wind and falling like white snow.

……

Years later, young children kept asking about the past.

In the long dark night, they had to rely on the few words spoken by these dying old people to find the glory that was fading away.

"Sir, is Zhou Lang as elegant as the rumors? Is the fire in Chibi spectacular?"

"It's very spectacular." What Li Yinzhou remembered was that day, when thousands of white sails gathered like huge waves, reflecting the river sky.

He looked down at the bright, young eyes under his knees, and said with a smile: "However, the most unforgettable thing is the thousand piles of snow in the storm."
