Practicing Medicine in Three Kingdoms

On March [-]th, the night is quiet and the moon is full.

The boundless fine snow is spread in the sky and the earth.

Occasionally, the new wind blows thin snow and dust, rhythmically and softly beats on the half-covered panes, immersing the deep cold of the night into the brightly lit room along the wet panes.

Ruxu's prefect's mansion has been set up as a command tent. At this moment, Sun Quan is kissing here, standing in the bright light in front of the window with his hands behind his back.

The moonlight brushed against the deep eyebrows and cast a layer of faint shadows, and the uncontrollable hostility in his eyes clearly surged under the haze.Chen Sheng who was beside him could only feel a kind of oppressive feeling of rain coming and thundering thunder in the chilling air, but when he raised his eyes, he saw the lord lowered his eyes slightly, and only the tip of his eyebrows twitched slightly. He smiled angrily.

As the commander of Wuhu, he has been here for a long time, and he has listened to all kinds of places all these years. Of course, he can guess what he is thinking from the expression of the lord.

Cao Cao picked a good time for this battle.

It was a cold day, the morale of the army was low, and Zhang Liao, the ghost-faced Yasha, was sitting in the nest, which reminded the nightmare of Wu Jun's disastrous defeat two years ago. The voice of defeat and discouragement in the army has long since spread like wildfire. It is difficult for such a general to suppress a sense of depression, and Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong's generation even came from afar to invite Wei Hao.

How can the lord be worthy of the deceased Gong Jin if he can hand over the North Shore, which has been managed with painstaking efforts for several years, to Cao Cao?How can I face Jiangdong's elders?

A good situation was destroyed by Zhang Liao alone, but today who knows that Sun Quan is a joke?

Chen Shengwei saw that his eyes were terribly quiet after he laughed, and he knew that he was riding a tiger, and that his advances and retreats were all wrong, so he could only sigh, and called the soldiers to bring a bowl of hot porridge: "My lord, no matter how troubled you are, you should take care of your body. Otherwise, if you don't drink rice, how would the people below dare to eat and drink?"

These words are a tactful reminder of his mastery of the identity of the lord, so don't show dispiritedness, encourage others' prestige, and destroy our army's morale.

Sun Quan took a deep look at him, and loosened his clenched hands.

Seeing that he listened in, the porridge delivery soldier said with great insight: "My lord, today the soldiers are eating cinnamon porridge. This cinnamon porridge is a local product in my hometown. Eating some may relieve homesickness. We also asked Mr. Li said that the addition of cinnamon can drive away the cold and invigorate Qi, and it is best to eat in cold weather."

The slightly pungent breath rushed to the tip of the nose along the hot air, it was really a familiar smell.

I also know that this is not the idea of ​​a fierce general like Lu Meng Jiang Qin, and it is probably his old friend who fiddled with something.

Sun Quan's expression softened, and the corners of his lips curved slightly: "It's possible."

Seeing his face turn warm, Chen Sheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and the tip of his nose twitched slightly.

——It is very fragrant.

……

"It's fragrant, but the smell of cinnamon is too strong." Ling Tong gritted his teeth, sat cross-legged on the desk, looked down at the hot cinnamon porridge, and frowned, "He asked me to borrow someone, just For this?"

A special trip to find 600 people, to cook for the soldiers?

He doesn't believe it!

Ling Tong squinted his eyes, and stared intently at the past: "What did he ask you to do, tell me back and forth, and don't miss a single thing."

The soldier who joined him scratched his head in embarrassment.

Ling Tong kicked him lightly: "What? Two days with him is more comfortable than two years with me?"

The soldier chuckled and explained: "Mr. said that now that the badge is in his hands, we have to obey his orders, and we must not reveal anything to you. Otherwise, disobeying his orders is equivalent to disobeying military orders. It's time to lose your face."

Quite eloquent.

Ling Tong sneered, thinking that Mr. Li had calculated everything, but he didn't know the length of the barracks. Are the rules just for keeping?

Obviously not.

Violation of orders is commonplace, just looking at General Lu Meng's example as a mountain, he almost didn't make the new prefect of Yuzhang County sick, wouldn't he admit his mistake openly and dare to do it next time?

The soldiers saw that it was rare for him to laugh out loud at the critical moment of the military aircraft, but they thought that Mr. Li was really a genius, and even General Ling's reaction was accurate.

Then the truth came out in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, the general, we don't know what Mr. Li did. He divided us into four teams to buy medicine, pick flowers, pick acacia, and borrow cinnamon."

Ling Tong supported the desk with one hand, and twisted the gun habitually with the other hand, vaguely suspecting that Li Yinzhou had planned something again.

It's understandable to buy medicine, and cinnamon is actually used in porridge.

But if it's freezing cold today, and the flowers and plants are withering, Li Yinzhou's search for flowers and honey locusts can't be for bathing, right?

His gaze sank, he turned his wrist, and suddenly raised the tip of the spear!

In an instant, the silver light flashed down.

The cold tip barely stopped in front of the suddenly constricted pupils on the opposite side, and moved up and down threateningly.

The soldier was almost suffocated, and after a while, he heard Ling Tong's condensed voice: "He really only did this?"

"...It's absolutely true." The soldier blinked nervously, wishing he could cry for him, "We don't know what he's going to do."

Ling Tong glanced at him, then slowly withdrew the gun.

Of course his own soldiers can't really fight, he feels distressed.

But there is nothing else to scare like this, it seems that there is no reason to ask.

He tilted his head and thought for a while, then said decisively, "Prepare me a pen and paper."

The soldier almost thought he heard it wrong: "...you want to write a letter?"

Can you still write?

Ling Tong didn't look like he was joking.

He didn't doubt that Li Yinzhou wanted to borrow someone, but because he was one of his own, he should express his thoughts openly, and he should never go to such great lengths to hide the purpose of this trip.It's not that he doesn't trust Li Yinzhou, it's just that he is soft-hearted and trusts the wrong person!

In a moment, pen and ink are ready.

Ling Tong quickly drew up a letter, hurriedly rolled it up and threw it into the arms of the soldier: "Go."

The soldiers stopped laughing and said, "It's for..."

Ling Tong squinted at the flying snow, and said in a low voice, "Lu Boyan, Kuaiji County."

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

Same snowy night, Wei Ying.

Cao Pi sat in front of the case, quietly staring at the chess game in front of him.

"It's hard to advance or retreat, so what's the next step?" Sima Yi pinched a white ball between his fingers, raised his arm high above his eyebrows and stared at it distressedly, as if talking to himself, "As the saying goes, wealth comes from danger. If you don't give up this discarded piece to change the situation, anyway, there are many other pieces that can fight back."

Cao Pi reminded him coldly: "Sun Quan has no chess pieces left that can kill him."

Sima Yi moved the chess piece and glanced at him: "Oh?"

"I'm afraid Lu Su has more energy than he wants." Cao Pifu looked at the chess game again, "All the generals under him are aging, and the only ones who can really be seen among the rising stars are those who can really be seen. Unfortunately, although Lu Meng is brave, he is just a man after all. As a general, Ling Tong is careful, but he has no fighting spirit to expand the territory. As for those new aristocratic children..."

At this point, the tone that was still plain turned sharply: "Standing for nothing, not worthy of virtue, I am afraid that even the soldiers of the Wu army will not accept them."

Hearing his comments, Sima Yi rubbed his fingers together, threw the chess pieces up, and said with a smile, "I heard from General Zhang Liao that last time they were tried by a small team to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but they failed to capture Sun Quan. It's a pity." .”

Who is the person who can implement this strategy?Why didn't even Wu Jun reward him for his merits afterwards?Was it because he offended someone by his actions, or was it because he was carefully hidden by Sun Quan as his trump card?

Cao Pi followed his lead to think of this point, unconsciously clenched his five fingers and squeezed the chess piece in his hand, and forced out a smile from the corners of his lips: "Zhongda said that one useful chess piece is enough. Sun Quan is by no means general, we still have to be careful."

One key chess piece is enough, just like he has Sima Yi's stalemate.

No matter how much his father favors his naive younger brother, he can't choose his favorite in the battle for the son, and he has Sima Yi who has been pretending to be sick and acting foolishly in the court for many years, who knows that he also has this trump card in his hand!

Sun Quan is naturally the same.

Sima Yi obviously also heard the double meaning of vigilance against Sun Quan and win over himself in the words, so he made a noncommittal decision.

"Playing chess must have a view of the overall situation, but you have to be careful every step of the way. The current chess is always the most important."

Cao Pi nodded: "Yes, we must win, and I must win."

The Ruxu war is about to break out, and the father will definitely win Sun Quan.

And he must win Cao Zhi!

Sima Yi glanced at him lightly, an indifferent smile flashed in his eyes for a moment, and he shook his head imperceptibly: "That's not right."

Cao Pi stopped his movements and looked at him fixedly.

"Winning is just icing on the cake. It may not be eye-catching, and it may not be pleasing." Sima Yi blinked, his eyes dimmed in the dim light, "It's much easier to completely defeat a person, then Just let him lose, make him the culprit."

Cao Pi's eyes froze, almost unbelievable.

The meaning of these words was that he did not want to win this battle, but wanted to take advantage of the defeat to find out Cao Zhi's fatal mistake and deal him an irreversible blow!

All of a sudden, the wind and snow blew up.

Two or three snowflakes brushed his eyelids along the cracks of the panes, melting coldly in his eyes, making his eye sockets reddish and his pupils quivering slightly.

If exposed, this is...

"Death crime." Sima Yi seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and cut it off softly, "Could it be that the young master also believes that my brother has become a son, and that brothers and sisters will respectfully support you and serve you? I'm afraid Yuan Shao was not so good in the past. Thinking of Yuan Shu."

Brother Christine?

Cao Pi sneered.

If he was really so friendly and such a gentleman, Cao Zhi wouldn't be able to compete with him for the position of heir.What's more, the two of them are in the same situation now, and when his father goes west in the future, how can Yang Xiu and others bear him, the original eldest son, to stay in the eyes of the world for a long time, and become a stain on Cao Zhi's violation of the order of elders and younger generations to inherit the throne?

click.

He clenched his fists unconsciously while he was thinking deeply, his frantic emotions pressed tightly on his knuckles, and he squeezed the knuckles with a crisp sound!

"But what should we do?" Speaking of this point, Cao Pi also quickly calmed down, and slowly loosened his strength with one finger and one finger, peeling off the chess piece in his palm, "negotiate a deal with Sun Quan?"

Sima Yi knew that he had made up his mind, so he closed his eyes and smiled: "Talking with him is too risky, it's like seeking skin from a tiger."

"That……"

Who else?Please Liu Bei?It would be considered polite for him not to take advantage of the fire; please Lu Su?And I'm afraid I'll be hit by a counterattack and lose my nest.Cao Pi's eyes wandered, but he couldn't figure it out for a long time.

"Have you forgotten, young master?" Seeing that he was thinking sideways, Sima Yi pointed out, "We once made a deal with a Wu man. At first you despised him for being too greedy, but later you praised his resourcefulness."

Cao Pi immediately understood: "Zhou Yin...no, Mr. Li."

He also heard the news that this person went north to join the army, but he didn't know what his purpose was, let alone how to get in touch with him.

Under his puzzled eyes, Sima Yi's smile became more and more interesting.

"He has already given the signal, but the young master doesn't know him well enough."

Cao Pi sat up straight to show his all ears.

Sima Yi then said leisurely: "I heard that Wu Jun recently ate some cinnamon porridge, saying that it was to relieve his homesickness. Don't you think this is very familiar, young master?"

Indeed, it seems when heard.

Cao Pi squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was searching hard for something in his memory, after a while, he suddenly raised his eyebrows.

A knowing smile flashed across those somewhat cold eyes.

"In the battle of Chibi before nine o'clock, he used pumpkin seeds to cure the poison of the soldiers, and he used it to relieve his homesickness from the beginning."

Although he did not come to the battlefield in person, he was not short of eyes and ears.

Sima Yi nodded.

Those who can be his fancy will not be too stupid.

He gently took away the chess piece lying in Cao Pi's palm, and snapped it cleanly.

"So he came this time, it must be to cure some kind of epidemic!"
