Practicing Medicine in Three Kingdoms

The purpose of Li Yinzhou's trip north to the front line was to prevent the epidemic!

The snow covered the sky in the boundless moonlit night, condensing the deep cold of early spring into frost white visible to the naked eye.Cao Pi's eyes were bright and dark in the wind and snow, and he murmured for a moment: "The reversal of cold and heat is indeed an ominous sign, but how can he know that there will be a major epidemic?"

Sima Yi also looked up at the bright and cold moon outside the window, and his sharp eyes deepened: "This is naturally his ability, and it is also the capital of his daring to act. But such important news, he did not hide it much, even It is implying us that there must be a deeper intention."

Cao Pi's eyes shook.

Although this person had a small unspeakable cooperation with them, the purpose of that time was to rescue Zhang Ji while they were staying in Yecheng.I heard that Mr. Zhang Zhongjing has recently traveled to the west of Hexi, who is Li Yinzhou's painstaking efforts all this time for?

Is it possible...

"He wants to use our hands to prevent the epidemic in exchange for our army's withdrawal from Ruxu and a truce to show peace?" As soon as the words came out, he paused as if he couldn't believe it, "How could Sun Quan have such a temper! "

With Sun's lord's consistent style of vengeance, ruthlessness, and ruthlessness, if he knew that the epidemic was coming and he was holding the prescription for epidemic prevention in his own hands, how could he simply ask for a retreat?It will take advantage of the right time and place to fight back and wash away the shame of the previous battle in Xiaoyaojin!

"So..." Sima Yi's eyes fell back on the chessboard, and he raised his eyebrows, his eyes seemed to be interested in meeting his opponent, "Then Mr. Li is definitely not my kind, but this time, he may not be an enemy anymore."

There is no eternal enemy or friend on the battlefield, only changing positions.

Sun Quan's character is domineering and domineering, and he does not show mercy. Li Yinzhou is also well aware of his temperament, so he must have never told the truth, but would have chosen to go to Weiying in person.

So this time, he will take advantage of the epidemic to become a Wei guest again, and at the same time, he will become the spark that ignites the one-party secret war between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

Just look at where the east wind will go after the raging fire starts a prairie fire?

There was a moment of silence, and the master and servant each felt a kind of tranquility that was almost still before the decisive battle.

Cao Pi pondered for a while, forced himself to stabilize his mind, and humbly asked Sima Yi to continue to express his next strategy.

Sima Yi flicked his hands firmly on the chessboard, he didn't care about the messy moves under his hands, the deeper his smile, the more interested he was: "Since he has expressed his consent, we must also do our best as landlords, Take the initiative to welcome guests."

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

"gentlemen!"

The soldiers Ling Tong borrowed were all soldiers directly under Sun Quan, and they were no strangers to Li Yinzhou. In the past few days, they had done a lot of trivial chores under his orders, and they had to complain a little.

"If you want us to go into battle to kill the enemy, even if we risk our lives, we are willing to accompany the gentleman, but every day we are either looking for flowers or picking grass, and I have never seen anyone brewing medicine for you?"

Li Yinzhou divided the 600 people into four teams, and bought four types of medicines in the anti-epidemic soup, one was peony and rhododendron, the other was acacia, the third was cinnamon, and the fourth was asarum, dried ginger, and aconite.The first three are daily necessities that are not often used as medicine, and the latter three medicinal materials have little effect when used alone.In this way, ordinary soldiers who are not good at medical skills can't figure out this prescription at all, and even don't know its meaning.Even if Cao Jun, who was wary of him, could find out the movement in the army and notice his small movements, he would never be able to find out the prescription clearly in a short time.

Hearing their murmurs, Li Yinzhou rolled his eyes: "Want to fight?"

The soldier didn't expect him to actually talk to him, and scratched his head shyly: "No."

As if afraid of being misunderstood by him, he hastily added: "We are not afraid of death, nor are we warlike. We just think that if we win as soon as possible, if we win Cao Cao and Liu Bei, we will never have to fight in the future. gone."

It sounded like a dream at first glance, I am afraid that even Sun Quan would not dare to be so arrogant.

Li Yinzhou couldn't help laughing: "Want to fight just to avoid war in the future?"

The soldier nodded seriously.

The fine snow fluttered one after another, smearing the strong sunset into an extremely gorgeous sunset glow, and the thick clouds were also covered with rays of light at this moment, fading the heavy ink color of the whole day, gradually turning into a piece of magnificent pink and deep purple, reflecting a touch of red gold The setting sun finally submerged in a piece of sparkling river flowers.

The soldier's rough cheeks were soaked in the soft light, looking forward to the distant place with infinite longing.

"When the war is over, I will go back to farm and give birth to two sons and a daughter..."

woo-

The horn suddenly blew to cut off his unfinished words, and the chilling wind swept over his face.

The slack expressions of the soldiers tensed up like bowstrings in an instant, and the swords in their sleeves came out, blowing away their armor and rustling!

When they came out to buy things, they stayed within [-] miles of Ruxu City, not daring to confront Cao Ying who was in the north, but they didn't expect that this inconspicuous team still attracted the opponent's attention, and suddenly appeared in front of Cao Ying. This kind of wilderness.

"Sir!" The soldier who was talking to him just now took him back to the river bank first, covering his whereabouts with the help of the twilight and the sound of the waves, "I took a look just now, there are not many enemy soldiers, maybe they are just walking around. A team exploring the terrain. Our trip is not for fighting, it is better to retreat as soon as possible.”

Although he said to finish the fight quickly and win quickly, he made a judgment reflexively as soon as the fighter plane sounded.

Ling Tong's leadership is indeed very much like his father's.

Li Yinzhou couldn't wait to feel relieved, as soon as he quickly stepped into the luxuriant forest of reeds on the river bank, his bright vision was dimmed in the reed flowers reaching the sky.

Hearing no approaching footsteps, the nervous expressions of the soldiers calmed down a little. Following the footsteps back to the camp, they carefully looked back at the place where they had reported the news just now. When there was no armed conflict, they breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that they avoided it. We also..."

The voice hung like a thread, and was cut off by a pain on the neck in an instant.

The words "go back" that he hadn't finished speaking were choked in his throat, and with a thud when his body fell to the ground, he was immediately dumbfounded by the sound of the waves.

Li Yinzhou retracted the dagger, and carefully covered the fainted soldier deep in the bushes.

To ensure that its position was stable, he pushed aside the densely covered clumps of reeds, stepped on the ground of reed flowers that were as fine as snow, and walked back step by step along the way he came from.

……

It's night, Cao Ying.

The news that the reconnaissance army captured Li Yinzhou alive has spread like wildfire in the army, or there are young and inexperienced soldiers who have never experienced the Battle of Chibi, and have never been dumbed down by this unattractive village witch doctor. Curious about who was captured, the soldiers of the Manchu army showed a happy expression of revenge.

"It's him!" The older soldier almost gritted his teeth and told the old story, "He supported Zhou Yu and Huang Gai in our army, and caused us to lose Chibi! How many brothers did we lose!"

Most of the Wu army generals who participated in the war in the past are no longer on the front line.

Then let these thieves pay with blood!

All the way, Li Yinzhou stared straight ahead indifferently with gazes like he was grinding his teeth and sucking blood, and only used the rest of his eyes to examine the massive and endless army.

He had already expected that someone in Cao Jun would be able to see through his actions, especially Sima Yi, who was so wise and close to a demon, would never miss any unusual details in Wu Jun.With his careful and bold handling of things, he must have considered the front and back clearly.

If Cao Ying were to withdraw from the army with the aid of epidemic prevention, Li Yinzhou, a mediocre commoner, would of course have no status and prestige.Once the prescription is given, it is by no means impossible for Cao Cao to go back on his word and kill people to silence him on the spot, given Cao Cao's usual behavior.

Therefore, only when he went to Cao Ying in person and watched Wei Jun withdraw from Ruxu with his own eyes, could he let Fang go.

However, Li Yinzhou's bargaining chip was the lives of tens of thousands of Cao Jun's soldiers, so King Wei had to take a step back and show his sincerity first.

Since Sima Yi wanted to help him, of course he also considered this step.

With the cooperation of the Shenhui of both parties, Li Yinzhou once again stepped into the Wei army's camp in an open and honest manner.

Unexpectedly, among the enemies of the Manchu army, the first one to see him was Wei Wang Cao Cao.

What Sima Yi can see through, Cao Cao can't ignore.

But did he see through Sima Yi again?

When Li Yinzhou was pushed into the big tent, Cao Cao was sitting in front of the case reviewing official documents.

I haven't seen him in the past ten years, but he is so old that he seems to be a different person, with gray hair, wrinkled forehead, and so thin that it is almost unbearable to look at him directly.Only a pair of gray eyes are hidden in the drooping eyelids, and they still have insight into everything in the world.

Li Yinzhou knew that although Cao Cao was old and sick, his ambition was unabated and he would never die.

Otherwise, what power can support a dying old man to live to this day and ten years under the double torment of illness and medicine?

Spreading out the dim light of Jin's candles in the room, Cao Cao's eyes reflected a faint torch. When he saw Li Yinzhou approaching, he only sighed slightly: "I heard that Mr. Zhang Ji passed away, but it's a pity that I can't send anyone to mourn. But the remembrance is the same."

The moment he saw him, Li Yinzhou knew he was not lying.

Decades of grievances and grievances, those who accompanied him through the world and were ridiculed in every possible way, were killed by his own hands, and those who helped him climb to the top of the ten thousand people gradually disappeared and never returned.So much so that the opponent he likes, admires, and hates has changed without realizing it, leaving him as a bad old man to watch the vicissitudes of the world alone on this uninhabited peak.

What a sight.

How lonely.

Many words flashed through Li Yinzhou's mind, and finally he only said: "Master passed away peacefully."

Cao Cao smiled: "It's a blessing that I can't envy."

The two had also met with swords and blood spattered on the spot, and when they met again, they talked so peacefully.Cao Cao exchanging a few words of greeting, he took the hand of his attendants and walked to the window, not knowing whether to look at the moon, the snow, or the thousands of lanterns in the middle of the night.

"Gu should be grateful to you." He said slowly, "Without your medicine, Gu might not be able to survive today."

Li Yinzhou stared at his emaciated back, and said softly: "You are a man of destiny, not someone whose fate can be controlled."

"Destiny?" Cao Cao murmured these two words in his throat, shook his head noncommittally, raised his finger to point at himself, and then nodded Li Yinzhou's forehead. Gu's disease, no matter how capable you are, no matter how unwilling Gu is to die, there is nothing you can do about it."

Li Yinzhou followed his words, and straightforwardly stated the purpose of this evening talk: "But you have successors, and some things haven't happened yet, so you can stop them."

Cao Cao said calmly: "You have to exchange the anti-epidemic prescription for lonely soldiers."

When he said this, the wrinkles on his forehead did not move at all, only a very faint and ordinary smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Li Yinzhou looked at him deeply and didn't answer immediately.

Cao Cao's smile deepened, and his eyes showed an old and immortal light: "I'm alone...but not."

Li Yinzhou frowned slightly.

Cao Cao's eyes grew longer and longer, as if he wanted to peel off his thoughts one by one, revealing the tricks and ambitions hidden in it.

He slowly walked up to Li Yinzhou: "If you have the confidence to completely cure the epidemic, why don't you just help Sun Quan defeat the lonely army in one fell swoop? It's because you can't control it yourself. You are worried that this epidemic will spread to the world, So you have to retreat, and you can only retreat alone. Therefore, your bargaining chips cannot threaten Gu, even if Gu does nothing, you will eventually hand over the prescription."

The snow outside the window flew silently.

After only stopping for a moment, Cao Cao's cloak was covered with a thin layer of snow like frost, and there was a slight chill under the lamp.

Cao Cao is Cao Cao after all.

Even without the prophecy of the astrology and the cognition from later generations, those shrewd eyes easily grasped the trajectory of fate with just a glance.

It is indeed difficult to be an enemy of him.

Li Yinzhou stood quietly for a moment, listening to the sound of the wind blowing down the snow, the sporadic footsteps in the military camp in the middle of the night crushed the snow into ice slag, and made a slight creaking sound under his feet.

He turned his head to look back at Cao Cao, and then said: "But if there are other bargaining chips?"

Cao Cao stood side by side with him, his eyes moved, and they fell straight on the door that was swept by the wind.

Just listen to the footsteps approaching.

Xiao Bingtong's voice came in one after another.

"My lord, please see me, my lord."
