Practicing Medicine in Three Kingdoms

The wind and snow were blowing outside, but there was no light in the deep prison. In the silence like stagnant water, the soft sound of the medicine box being put down was particularly harsh.

The faint candlelight illuminated the scene, Guan Yu seemed to have aged a lot overnight, his proud long beard was stained white with frost, and the corners of his sharp eyes were a little tired, but his eyes were as quick as lightning. It landed on the uninvited guest and the medicine box in his hand.

The green shirt and cloth shoes, which looked thin but not shrinking, were covered with a coir raincoat and bamboo hat to cover the snow, which was also taken off at this moment, and the powder snow was shaking.

Clean and slender fingers unlocked the copper lock on the box with a click, and opened the roll of sheepskin tied with needles and threads very calmly. The owner of the medicine box turned his back on the rumored Guan Gong: With a needle and thread, I have silk thread to help it heal."

Guan Yu snorted and sneered: "Stop pretending to be benevolent and hypocritical. You Wu dogs stab your allies in the back and forget about profits. Do you still expect to cheat Gu's trust by giving small favors? Dreaming!"

Li Yinzhou chose a needle of appropriate thickness and a painkiller pill, and walked in front of him as if he had never heard of it: "Guan Gong, please take medicine."

Guan Yu stared coldly at the thin thread hanging from the tip of the needle, but refused to take the medicine: "The cicada's silk is pure white, but its chrysalis is dirty. The nobler the appearance, the more evil it is."

With the old story of Sun Shangxiang feigning death and escaping marriage, he would never believe that the Mr. Wen Ruo in front of him is such a kind person who is easy to get along with.

In the palm of his hand, it is not sure whether it is medicine or poison!

Li Yinzhou said noncommittally: "Guan Gong is now a low-ranking guest, even if we want to kill or cut, we can't use indiscriminate methods to dirty our hands."

"The next one?" Guan Yu laughed mockingly, "You are the ones who took advantage of Gu Xiaoze's funeral to cross the river, and you are the ones who attacked me with false illnesses. Is it still some kind of gentleman? You wait for the scumbags, and I will be punished sooner or later!"

These few questions were like thunder, shaking the dim light.

Li Yinzhou blew on the torch, twisted the tail of the needle to burn and sterilize it, his eyes rested on his hand peacefully and focused.

After a while, Guan Yu leaned over and stretched out his hand to tear off the muddy armor, revealing a bloody wound: "Jingzhou? Guan Gong probably has forgotten the origin of Jingzhou."

It was when thousands of dead soldiers of the Wu army followed Zhou Yu in the bloody battle of Jiangling, Liu Xuande secretly led his troops to divide the troops to take the four counties of Jingzhou, which were like no one in the land.

The Shu people borrowed a piece of covenant against Cao Cao to the most important port on the Yangtze River as a natural danger, but now they use it to defend their allies instead.

I'm afraid that more than ten years have passed, and the truth and falsehood have been reversed, but these old accounts should have been settled long ago, and they should have been repaid long ago!

Li Yinzhou looked straight at the deep, naked, naked wound without moving, and slowly pressed his fingers: "Besides, after the general's northern expedition, who do you want to swing the knife at again?"

As the thick needle pierced through the flesh with a bang, Guan Yu's originally unmoving expression showed a faint crack.

After the Northern Expedition?

Wu should have been defeated.

What Li Yinzhou said was nothing more than to refute him. The old covenant had already been torn up.

It's a pity... Most of the Yangtze River's military line is in the hands of Jiangdong. The natural danger is like a rock barrier. It is by no means an easy task to win it in one fell swoop.

Guan Yu raised his head high amidst his faint rhetorical question, and a bright moonlight suddenly appeared in his bloodshot eyes.

The top of the extremely high wall was eroded and mottled by wind and frost. When the strong wind blows, a line of wall cracks hidden under the withered vines is opened.

In the dark line, the lone moon hangs high, and the snow falls.

Such a familiar scene reminded him of the time when Cao Cao's army was on the border, and the same wind and snow swept the river, and they swore by the river——

Wu did not fail Shu, and Shu did not fail Wu.

Guan Yu looked at the sky that was far away, and suddenly laughed, only to feel that the pent-up spirit that had not been expressed in a great war had been completely wiped out in more than ten years of grievances and enmities, leaving only endless regrets: "...in the past During the Battle of Chibi in [-], I made an oath in the snow alone that I would fight to the end with the soldiers of the Shu Army and Wu Army in the bloody river. It has been a long time since I thought about it. Today is considered as soon as my wish is fulfilled, but it is a pity that I will not be able to watch it in the end. When the deer dies, whoever wins will rule the world."

He turned his eyes to look at Li Yinzhou: "I heard that you are good at divination and fortune-telling in the early years. You are the one who calculated the flooding of the Seven Armies?"

It was Lu Ji who figured out the natural disaster.

But even if it is not today, there will be a day.

Before Li Yinzhou could answer, Guan Yu laughed and shook his head, leaving the matter aside, "Forget it, I lost alone."

Shu once defeated Wu, and Wu finally defeated Shu.

It's just a win or loss.

He fixedly looked at Li Yinzhou: "But Gu never regretted it. He never regretted it when he desperately fought against Cao, and he never hesitated when he occupied Jingzhou. Even today, as long as there is still a grievance left by Gu, don't try to step on it." Half a step into Shuzhong, even if it turns into a gust of wind, Gu will only raise the Hanzhong flag!"

The fine snow from nowhere was swept into this bottomless prison by the wind, and fell on his brow like a knife, condensing into a layer of hard ice.

Li Yinzhou pulled up the last silk thread, raised his head in the flickering candlelight, and looked directly at him: "That certain also told the general that the Shu army will never be allowed to set foot in the land of Wu. There will be a day that the general wants."

Guan Yu looked down at the tight wound, as if he was extremely tired, and stopped talking.

He never asked, what Li Yinzhou said about a hundred years later, what would Central Shu look like.

He doesn't need to ask.

When Li Yinzhou stepped out of the prison, the wind and snow hit his face, and only the sound of Wu Song was heard in the vast world, echoing in the bitter and chilling new wind, and there was a thin nostalgia in the comfort of the post-war rest.

A silver-armored figure slowly emerged from the snow, and the long spear fell behind and drew a dark trail in the snowy field. Ling Tong walked up to him and frowned: "He won't cooperate?"

Li Yinzhou glanced back at the deep prison: "I didn't ask."

"That's right." Ling Tong said casually, "I heard that when he was in Beiyuan in the past, Cao Cao's courtesies failed to keep him, but Liu Bei left a general by his side. It's a pity..."

His eyes were fixed, and his expression was complicated: "My lord is not the kind of kind person who cherishes enemies."

Li Yinzhou glanced at him: "Can't bear it?"

Ling Tong's voice paused: "...Liu Bei's heart is smaller than that of the lord. We have taken Jingzhou this time. I'm afraid he will be so angry that he will jump. I am afraid that the war will start soon."

In any case, Guan Yu can no longer be kept.

To show mercy to the enemy is to be cruel to one's own people, and the fierce battle is yet to come.

Li Yinzhou turned his eyes to look directly at the snow blowing in front of him, and stepped into the wind.

After a while, I looked back at Ling Tong, who was looking more and more sternly, and calmly woke him up: "Aren't you leaving?"

Ling Tong turned his eyes away, grabbed his gun and followed.

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

Guan Yu was beheaded seven days later, but he failed to fulfill his last wish, so Lu Meng sent his body back to his hometown for burial.

The cross-river surprise attack finally came to an end in this cold winter, and the ensuing legacy problems were rather embarrassing—before the battle, in order to paralyze the opponent, Sun Quan deliberately created a situation where Lu Meng and Lu Yi were fighting each other several times. However, the conflict between the soldiers contained a lot of real feelings. When the same enemy was against Shu, they could join forces temporarily, and it was inevitable that some sparks would be sparked when it was time to rest.

Lu Meng's soldiers were full of ambition: "What Dudu Lu? That's all Dudu Lu's plan. Doesn't he have to obey Dudu Lu? Let him get over his addiction!"

Lu Yi's personal guards also refused to give way: "Without our general's interception and cooperation, Guan Yunchang would have withdrawn his troops and returned to the city long ago, and the outcome is uncertain. Besides, the Lord's order has not yet been issued, and you still have to listen to our Commander Lu!"

A war of words is no easier than fighting on the battlefield.

"It hurts, hurts..." Lu Meng leaned against the window, listening amusedly, when Li Yinzhou injected the needle, the corners of his mouth were pulled to his ears, and his eyes, which had never blinked in the wind and sand, turned red.

It took a long time for him to regain his composure, and looked at the gentle and gentle Mr. Li with a helpless look, and hummed: "What Ling boy said is true, you are just a white-faced steamed bun with a white skin and a black heart!"

Li Yinzhou slowly turned the silver needle, staring at the moss marks on his tongue without turning his eyes: "Thanks to the general himself for committing crimes, crossing the river and encountering snow, and if he didn't lose his life, it will be the New Year's Eve. Go and thank you."

Lu Meng was reprimanded, his old face was as thick as a city wall, and he didn't feel guilty at all.

He has always had the temper of protecting the calf. When he was not acquainted, he would not accept the account of the emperor. Once he was included in the category of his own people, he would be the first to help bear even the most heinous crimes.What's more, Mr. Li is only occasionally venomous, but most of the time he is still kind-hearted, unlike that old man Cai Yi, who has a bad temper and a bad temper!

Recently Cai Yi also reported illness.

When a person reaches his age, he can't accept it. He is a general with injuries all over his body, and he will eventually leave the field.

Thinking of the turmoil in the past, the blood of drinking ice for many years is still surging in my heart, hot and crazy.

His eyes fell directly on the angry face of the young soldier outside the window, and his voice was a little hoarse, but he smiled: "I think I was just an orphan without a wife back then, why did I suffer? My brother-in-law entered the army camp, and thanks to Zhou Lang's promotion, I had a chance to be a leader. At that time, I thought, I will fight wherever the governor wants to fight, and I will never be stage-frightened if the governor wants me to kill the enemy. One day I will be the majestic governor."

Li Yinzhou smiled and said, "The general has fulfilled his wish."

Lu Meng laughed and shook his head, then nodded again, his resolute eyes glowed with soft and warm light: "I have no regrets."

Li Yinzhou's throat was a little choked.

Sun Quan had repeatedly ordered Lu Meng to return to Jianye to recuperate, and refused to let him continue to defend the city while suffering from illness.

Lu Meng looked at him and raised his eyebrows easily: "Speaking of which, I haven't heard of Boyan's name very much before. When the Lord asked him to guard Lukou, I was really worried. Guan Yu's tactics in his ambush It's a novelty, and I can't find this strategy in 36 strategies."

Speaking of dispatching troops, Lu Meng's eyes lit up again, and he urged Li Yinzhou to listen to the story.

Li Yinzhou said: "Bo Yan has been in Haichang for several years. Apart from farming, he was fighting against bandits. Haichang's mountains are rugged. These are the tactics of those rogues. They are clever and ingenious. Later he was transferred to Kuaiji County to fight against rebels. , so I borrowed this method, and today I am repeating the old trick, but fortunately the Shu army was already demoralized, so it was only possible to disturb the enemy and win."

Lu Meng nodded thoughtfully: "Everyone says that the young master of the aristocratic family is a dandy and uninhibited, so it can be seen that what everyone says may not be true, Lu Boyan..."

He paused and stopped talking.

Li Yinzhou also lowered his eyes, quietly administering the last injection for him.

……

The next day, Lu Meng, who had been at odds with Sun Quan for several days, finally led his troops back to Jianye.

As if to keep a close eye on him, Sun Quan directly brought him into the inner hall with both soft and hard tactics, and personally urged him to take medicine to cultivate himself under his nose.

And Lukou, which everyone expected, sent another person to garrison it.

"Zhu Ran?" Ling Tong's pupils shrank, his expression unpredictable, "My lord, what is he planning?"

I heard that Lu Meng recommended Lu Yi as the governor when he was seriously ill. Who would have thought that Sun Quan would repeat his old tricks and support the aged Zhu Ran to take office? Could it be that...

Li Yinzhou only looked south indifferently, watching the lone geese passing by the snow-like clouds, the cold mist gathered on his lips: "Bo Yan is not suitable to take office right now."

Ling Tong was puzzled: "What's wrong, who still refuses to accept him now?"

Li Yinzhou slowly gathered his hands tucked into his sleeves.

A small bamboo slip was stuck in the palm of his hand a little stiffly.

That was a letter from Lu Ji two years ago, and two of the three prophecies have come true, helping them retreat Cao Bing and defeat Guan Yu.

He closed his eyes deeply, slowly suppressed the surging emotions, and said: "He can't take office because he is currently in the filial piety period."
