Practicing Medicine in Three Kingdoms

At night, the rain breaks.

The stumped branches after the shower suddenly pierced the sky, and a drop of water condensed on the tip of the branch fell heavily with the north wind blowing, making circles and circles of thin ripples on the surface of the potholes. .With the sound of marching footsteps approaching hurriedly, there was only a bang, and the bright moon reflected on the water pattern shattered into a cold white light.

After Gan Ning died alone, he finally rushed to the other side of the mountain. Just as he was wrapping up the ruptured wound, he saw a group of soldiers in black armor coming from the mountain, approaching step by step under the darkness.

He frowned subconsciously, and three sharp feathered arrows hit the fully drawn string.

"General." The person beside him also lowered his voice, his tone trembling in the cool wind, "Could it be Zhang Liao's man?"

pat.

A drop of residual rain rolled down the treetops and landed on the sharp arrows, casting a cold silver light.

Gan Ning's eyes were tense, staring straight at the slightly curved face behind the drops of water.

"General?"

The soldiers followed his gaze from afar, and couldn't help but murmur in their hearts: What kind of god is this person? Why doesn't General Gan neither shoot an arrow nor make a sound?

As if awakened by this sound, Gan Ning slightly moved the tip of the arrow and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "Lu...Captain?"

The visitor passed the sentinel and led three hundred black-clad elite soldiers into the dimly lit field of vision.

Gan Ning put down his longbow, seemed to understand something, couldn't help laughing, "It's you! Lu Boyan!"

The moment he made up his mind, he was ready to lose both sides. He guarded the tail of the army all the way, and walked ten miles with his whip, but Zhang Liao didn't come after him. Only then did he see the sparks in the mountains and forests, and he knew that there must be unknown reinforcements. Helped.

But I didn't expect it to be this person.

From a distance, I saw this person stepping on the moon, his eyes were clear and straight, his eyes were as light as a quiet shadow in the empty mountain, and he was dressed plainly in black clothes, showing a restrained and introverted demeanor.Isn't this a thick and thick military general who licked blood with the knife head, and he was clearly a writer full of books from aristocratic family.

Gan Ning has also heard of this man, the patriarch of the Lu family who is famous in Jianghuai, Lu Kang's appointed successor, the young master of a wealthy family who is attracting everyone's attention, and his life is completely different from Ling Tong's life full of corpses and blood.

It's a pity that the family declined later, and this person was also thrown away by the lord far away to open up wasteland in Haichang. He remained unknown in his thirties, and people almost forgot that there are such people in Wudi.

Lu Yi took off his armor and walked in front of him, glanced at the blood-oozing scars all over his body, and frowned slightly: "Yi is late."

Gan Ning was curious: "I heard that you have been wandering around recently, how did you end up in Hefei?"

Lu Yi smiled, but his eyes were as gentle as calm water: "Yi was ordered to raid the bandits, there were thousands of family troops, and happened to meet a soldier from Tongchuan on the road. He thought that General Lu Su's dispatch of troops might be delayed for some time, so he pretended to be a soldier. It is advocated to bring five hundred elites to come to respond. I don’t think the lord has already resorted to a clever trick of fraudulent aid, but I have not been able to help.”

This is said very humbly.

But there are also ways.

Although Gan Ning had a broad temper, he was also perceptive. In Lu Bo's words, it was obvious that he hoped that he would conceal his feigned attack and response, and completely pushed the credit for the smooth retreat to Sun Quan alone.

"My lord's strategy of fraudulent aid is really ingenious, and your arrows were fired at the right time." He didn't have any prejudices, and he took the opponent's shoulders in a familiar way, "I'm afraid Zhang Liao thought that we deliberately lured him to pursue him." , to ambush him! Otherwise, maybe there is still a tough battle waiting for me!"

In the barracks, there is no distinction of origin, only the difference between capable and worthless. Since Lu Boyan was quick and responsive to help him out of an imminent crisis, he is also willing to ask for a glass of wine with several brothers.

"However..." He changed the subject, a little strangely, "Although we didn't plan to lure the army, since he has crossed the fat water to chase after him, there will be no one to dispatch him without him in the city, why don't you take this opportunity to directly Taking Hefei City can be regarded as turning defeat into victory!"

Previously, Sun Quan dared to fight blatantly because he took advantage of the emptiness of Hefei. Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao, a madman, turned the tide of the battle on his own. In the morning, Zhang Liao took advantage of the victory and pursued it. Take offense as defense and strike back.

He didn't believe that this person didn't have such a plan.

It is even more unbelievable that a general who acts recklessly does not have such ambition and courage.

It was inevitable for Gan Ning to be curious about the questions Xiao Bing could think of.Lu Yi smiled: "Hefei has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times. Its city is as solid as gold, and its army and people work together. Even if there is no Zhang Liao in the city, it is not an earthen fortress that can be captured in a short while. What's more, Yi's trip is for rescue. Instead of taking risks, It’s better to keep it safe.”

There is some truth to this statement.

Gan Ning didn't ask any more questions.

……

After Sun Quan and Lu Yi's unanimous fraudulent aid, Zhang Liao really took precautions, retreated, and temporarily retreated to Hefei.

Wu Jun also didn't dare to attack this fertile soil again, and moved back to Jianye before the victory of the Hanzhong battle was decided, and re-arranged the defense line to prepare for a new battle situation.

It is a bit regrettable that the great opportunity revealed by the battle between Cao and Liu was missed like this, but the defeat in Hefei has greatly dampened the morale of the army, and it is not appropriate to go to war in the short term.

Concerned about Ling Tong's injury, Li Yinzhou also went to Jianye.Xiaofeng, full moon, flute blowing at the top of the building, the ancient capital thousands of years ago showed a simple and solemn beauty in the mid-autumn night. Tonight and today, it is shrouded in golden wind and drizzle, adding a touch of misty sorrow.

Ling Tong sat on the railing with one leg bent, looking at the full moon, his eyes sparkling with brilliance.

"When we agreed to attack Hefei, we thought we could go north through the battle of Cao and Liu in Hanzhong, and from then on the Central Plains could be explored." He leaned back against the railing and calmly looked north at Zhongtu, "No one can I didn't expect that there would be such a hero in the empty city of Hefei."

Li Yinzhou can imagine how high-spirited and hesitant Sun Quan was at that time.Taking down the three counties of Jingzhou without bloodshed, the Wu army's fighting spirit was at its peak, and the fighting spirit that had not been vented after years of painstaking preparations naturally turned to the north, hoping to take advantage of the situation to make another victory.

He didn't dare to jump to conclusions, but if Liu Bei simply cut off the three counties in order to stimulate Sun Quan's spirit to go north, then these cities can be described as unfathomable.One is that the soldiers of Shu can avoid the battle to concentrate on preparing for the battle of Hanzhong, so as to avoid encountering two-sided attacks; The slap in the face woke up Sun Quan, proving that the current Wu is unable to monopolize Beiyuan, and the Sun-Liu alliance has to continue.

Abandoning the three counties, and killing three birds with one stone, stabilized the situation where the three legs stood together and Sun and Liu joined forces to resist Cao.

This kind of retreat-for-advance technique makes people feel chills when they think about it. How can we know whether Sun Quan won the three counties or Liu Bei won the overall situation?

He is by no means alone in this kind of thinking. The depression of defeat is gradually replaced by calmness. Some of the high-ranking generals must be reflecting on the battle situation and thinking about the deployment of the future.

But I don't know how many people can understand this.

After all, not everyone is half spoiled by history like him, Li Yinzhou thought about it, but he could only sigh deeply: "My lord should discuss with Zijing about mobilizing troops, this step is too hasty and messy. "

Ling Tong also sighed: "We are just being smart after the fact. If it is before the event, no one will have the vision. I heard that his health is not as good as before. I don't know who will be there after that."

His long and straight eyebrows were full of frost, and he looked a bit tired.

Li Yinzhou turned his head to look at the young man's lonely eyes, and remained silent for a moment.

After returning from Hefei, Sun Quan gave Ling Tong twice as many subordinate soldiers and gave him the high position of general. Being able to worship a general at the age of 26 should have been a time of prosperity in life, but this glory was all bought by his three hundred soldiers with their lives.

The deep cold night wind blows in, making one shiver involuntarily——

Standing on the upper floor can pick the moon, but it is too high, too cold, and too lonely.

And how many people can endure the loneliness?

A calm and restrained face appeared in front of his eyes. From Gan Ning's cover-up report, he could probably guess what happened to the last army of the Northern Camp that day.

Can't help squinting his eyes, looking at that month: "When Gongjin left, I'm afraid not many people believed that Zijing could take over the big job. Why don't we make a bet and see if there will be a successor after Zijing?"

Ling Tong put his hands on his pillow and closed his eyes lazily: "What are you betting on?"

Li Yinzhou glanced at him with his chin up, his eyes jumped suddenly.

In the dark field with his eyes closed, Ling Tong seemed to feel the interesting gaze of the other party, and inexplicably became vigilant.

Li Yinzhou said: "Whoever loses, go and get Gan Xingba's bell back."

Gan Ning had a pair of bells, one of which returned to Li Yinzhou's hands several times, and hung it on the horse's neck to attract Zhang Liao's attention in an emergency, so there would be no dust left.

The other one was given to someone by Gan Ning, probably still in a certain family in the Central Plains.

Ling Tong didn't expect this idea from him, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the other party's provocative eyes staring at him directly, as if he expected you to go back on his word.

"..."

He bent down to pick up the spear, picked up the tip of the gun, slashed straight across the other's bright eyes, and stopped a centimeter in front of the eyebrow.

"Gamble, bet!"

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

After staying in Jianye for more than a month, seeing that Ling Tong was fine, Li Yinzhou didn't intend to stay any longer, so he got up and went back when the weather was not severe and the river was not ice.

The trip to Hefei was a tragic failure for Wu Jun, but for Li Yinzhou personally, there were gains and losses. The silk thread disappeared without a trace on Ling Tong, which means that the types of operations that can be performed in this era are greatly improved. Added, some spells that you don't even dare to think about may be possible to implement.

Hearing his excited statement, Zhang Ji couldn't help snorting, "If old man Hua knew that my apprentice could achieve what he is today, he would probably regret that he didn't survive to see it with his own eyes. I'd better wait until I go to Huangquan to talk to him in person. , pissed off his elm head."

Before he could finish his sentence, he coughed twice violently, his skinny body was wrapped in a thick quilt, and his complacent aura was unavoidably reduced by three points.

Li Yinzhou hurriedly patted him on the back, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Hua has been gone for so many years, are you still thinking about that unhappiness? Is it okay to take the medicine before?"

Zhang Ji glanced at him: "I'm a person who has stepped into the coffin with one leg. I don't need to be forced to hang with medicine. Knowing my fate and obeying my fate is already a blessing that ordinary people can't expect."

Fifty knows the destiny, not to mention that he is already in his sixties, and he knows what kind of great luck is aging in this chaotic world.

But his smart apprentice was not so enlightened when he realized his own affairs, he pursed his lips for a while and remained silent for a while, not answering his words.

Zhang Ji patted the ashes on his shoulders smoothly: "I know you are filial, but there are many things that don't need to be forced. If it is true for others, it should be the same for yourself."

Li Yinzhou looked down at his withered chest, and after a moment, he nodded: "Yes."

……

The following year, spring.

The vigor and vigor of the war stopped temporarily after the defeat in Hefei, but a less eye-catching appointment came to Haichang——

Lu Yi was appointed by Sun Quan as Captain of Dingwei because of his meritorious service in slaying bandits in Poyang.

This news spread wildly in Haichang. Although it is not an earth-shattering event, the head of the Lu family who has worked hard here for many years finally stepped onto the stage of the battlefield, and the local people were naturally proud to celebrate their captain. It's early days.

Only Li Yinzhou knew that it was impossible for Sun Quan to be concealed from Gan Ning. This was a belated award.

But for Lu Yi, this is just the beginning, just a corner of his magnificent life.

More than a month later, a letter from Wu Jun was sent into his hands accompanied by the cold river wind.

Signature——

Sun Ren.

The author has something to say: I’m afraid some friends have forgotten the plot. Xiao Lu changed his name to Lu Yi before going to Haichang
