Treacherous ministers have deep routines

The army quickly rectified and was ready to go to Suanzao.

When they set off, they also met Yuan Shao and others.

Yuan Shao's team was also preparing to go to Suanzao today, because more than half of them were killed or injured, and they were afraid that someone would sneak up on the road to break through, so Yuan Shao led the team to wait for Wei Man at the gate.

When Yuan Shao saw Wei Man, he immediately went up to him, smiling all over his face, the tit-for-tat confrontation from yesterday was gone, as if the person from yesterday was not Yuan Shao, or Yuan Shao from yesterday was possessed by a ghost.

Yuan Shao's face was full of bruises and bruises. When he saw Wei Man, he immediately strode up, took Wei Man's hand kindly, and said, "Oh, brother Mengde! You are here, old brother!" We are waiting for you to go on the road together."

As soon as Wei Man saw Yuan Shao and met him being so attentive, he knew what Yuan Shao's purpose was, so he smiled knowingly and said, "How can I let the old brother wait?"

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "No, no, I just waited for a little while, it's not going to get in the way."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and Yuan Tan came with a brocade box in his hands, and opened it with a "click", and inside were not precious gold and silver jewels, but some medicinal materials.

Wei Man couldn't quite understand these medicinal materials, but what Yuan Shao could get his hands on must be some rare medicinal materials.

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "It was thanks to brother Meng De who healed the child himself yesterday, so I take these as my brother's gratitude to brother Meng De."

Wei Man thought that Yuan Shao did have two brushes, and he was quite good at matching them. If Zhang Rang took these medicinal materials, Zhang Rang would be happy.

happy...

Thinking of this, Wei Man's expression suddenly stiffened.

As the son of a dignified captain, why do you want to curry favor with that eunuch Zhang Rang?Whether he likes it or not, what does it have to do with me?

What's the matter?

Yuan Shao suddenly saw the change of situation on Wei Man's face, he wondered if he had said something wrong, he was confused, and said, "Brother Meng, Meng De?"

Only then did Wei Man regain his composure, and he turned cold, waved his hands, and said very coldly, "Old brother, it's a waste of money."

Yuan Shao didn't know what Wei Man was thinking, anyway, he was very enthusiastic just now, but suddenly he became cold, and without saying a few words, Wei Man set off in another group.

Yuan Shao's current troops are just over 6000, which doesn't take into account the number of wounded and wounded soldiers. If the seriously injured and disabled soldiers are counted, another [-] will have to be counted.

Calculated in this way, there are only more than 4000 intact soldiers, and their morale is declining, so it is not appropriate to go on the road like this.

Therefore, no matter whether Wei Man's face is hot or his butt is cold, Yuan Shao has to bite the bullet and follow Wei Man's team, so as to be in case and not be plotted against again by Tong Gao's minions.

Because Zhang Rang was injured, he took a cart to Suanzao. They were not fast, but they could reach Suanzao before sunset.

Before Wei Man arrived at Suanzao, he purposely walked to Zhang Rang's carriage on the pommel horse, and "knocked" on the carriage.

Zhang Rang opened the curtain of the car and looked at Wei Man.

Wei Man said in a low voice: "There is Suanzao in front of us. The brigade alliance is here. Don't show your face. You can come out after we enter the tent and we are all our own people. There are many old Luo people in this alliance place. The people from Yangcheng must also know you, we can deceive one Yuan Shao, if there are too many people and it is difficult to deal with, it will be hard to argue."

Knowing his worry, Zhang Rang nodded and said, "I understand, but it's up to Colonel Wei to arrange."

When Wei Man heard it, for some reason, although Zhang Rang said this sentence very coldly, but the words were extremely "well-behaved", which made Wei Man feel very happy when he heard it, and his whole body felt comfortable for a while, as if all the hair on his body had been straightened out generally.

Jujube here is the junction of Jizhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou. It has been an important place for military strategists since ancient times, and it can be said to extend in all directions.

When Wei Man and the others arrived in Suanzao, there were already many troops stationed in Suanzao, and they waited for the other troops to arrive, and then they drank wine and swore together, built an altar and made an alliance, and jointly attacked Tong Gaotyao/zheng.

In addition, since the Zhangjiao riot of the Yellow Turban Army, the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty devolved military power in order to "save trouble", and ordered each state and county to recruit troops by themselves, manage them by themselves, and fight against the Yellow Turban Army riots by themselves.

As a result, the emperor really saved trouble, no need to prepare food and grass, no need to arrange wars, and no need to work hard. During the Yellow Turban Army riots, warlords from all over the country took the opportunity to expand their own strength and buy up legal troops on a large scale. Greater than the central government, it opened up a warlord separatist situation that did not obey command orders.

Up to now, warlords in various places have developed their own set of armies and processes. Over the years, profit has rolled over, and snowballs have snowballed. The warlords have been constantly rubbing against each other, stationing troops, and fighting with money, food, and military power. There has never been a place where there is forever ally.

Suanzao Huimeng is no exception.

Although everyone said they were filled with righteous indignation and fought against Tong Gao, it was actually because Tong Gao was too powerful. If Tong Gao really controlled the Luoyang capital, then the good days of these warlords would come to an end.

That's why everyone "worked together" and prepared to gather Suanzao together to discuss the plan to defeat Tong Gao!

But when it comes to this, the warlords do not trust each other, and they still retain great vigilance.

Warlords from all walks of life are stationed here. Although they are alliances, they still set up their own tents. After all, everyone "recognizes their beds." .

Wei Man looked at the Suanzao meeting place, everyone set up their own camps, which suits his mind, Wei Man is the most suspicious person, he can't trust others, it's a good thing to set up camp and manage it yourself.

Wei Man immediately drew a site and ordered the soldiers to set up camp quickly, and when Yuan Shao and his party arrived in Suanzao safely, they stopped pestering Wei Man, found a suitable site, and set up camp as well.

Wei Ying quickly settled down, and Zhang Rang's luggage cart entered the camp, and Wei Man let Zhang Rang get out of the cart.

He carefully supported Zhang Rang to step down from the carriage, and said, "How is it? After traveling for a day, are you not feeling well?"

Zhang Rang shook his head and said, "I don't feel any discomfort."

At this moment, Xia Yuanyun ran over quickly and said, "My lord! Something is wrong, Zhang Ji seems to be dying."

"what?"

Wei Manahan said, "It's not enough?"

Xia Yuanyun said: "Exactly! When Zhang Ji was captured a few days ago, he seemed to have suffered some injuries and refused to seek medical treatment. The water and rice were not exhausted from yesterday to today, and he had traveled for half a day, so he suddenly couldn't do it anymore. He was coughing and vomited blood."

As Xia Yuanyun said, he glanced at Zhang Rang again, and said, "How about... how about letting Mr. Zhang go and have a look?"

When Wei Man heard this, he sneered and said, "What are you looking for? Will Zhang Ji let go of his surrender?"

Xia Yuanyun hesitated and said, "This...not yet."

Wei Man knew this, and said: "Since he is a hard-headed person, I will fulfill him today. Whether he wants to live or die, he will be up to him. If he doesn't let go, let him die of illness!"

Wei Man said again: "That Zhang Ji's ambush injured Zhang Rang, I think I spared his life, but Zhang Ji is lucky, he doesn't know how to flatter him, so how can I beg him to live?"

Hearing this, Zhang Rang's eyes remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Since there are injuries, let me go and have a look."

Hearing what Zhang Rang said, Wei Man said, "You don't bear any grudge against him? The cold arrow on your shoulder is Zhang Ji's good deed!"

Zhang Rang's face was already very calm, and he said: "Whether there is hatred or not, there is no conflict with Rang's treatment of the wounded."

What Zhang Rang said made Wei Man and Xia Yuanyun admire him. They both said that doctors need to have medical ethics, but many people can't understand what kind of bottom line and what kind of heart medical ethics is, and they can't do it. arrive.

In fact, this is very easy for Zhang Rang. After all, Zhang Rang's objectivity will not be mixed with some subjective feelings, so things that are difficult for others to distinguish are extremely simple for Zhang Rang. easy.

You say Zhang Rang has a kind heart, but he is indeed a heartless person.

You say that Zhang Rang is unintentional, but he is indeed a person with a clear bottom line.

Wei Man saw that there was no wave in Zhang Rang's eyes, so he squinted his eyes, and after a second thought, he kept it in his mind, so that's fine.

Now that Zhang Jining would not surrender, and the armies are here to form an alliance, and there is no detailed work to know Luoyang's news, it would indeed be a good thing if they could instigate Zhang Ji's rebellion.

If Zhang Rang can heal Zhang Ji, it can be regarded as a combination of kindness and power. Give a red date with a stick to let Zhang Ji eat some sweets.

Wei Man squinted his eyes, and his eyes flashed brightly. Although Zhang Rang didn't think too much, he had to treat Zhang Ji as a patient, but Wei Man was different. He just used Zhang Rang to influence Zhang Ji.

Wei Man then smiled and said: "Sir, you are right, I am narrow-minded, otherwise... I will take my husband to visit Zhang Ji?"

Fortunately, Zhang Rang was fine, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

Because Zhang Rang was injured on his shoulder, Wei Man personally carried the medicine box for him, and everyone went to the camp where Zhang Ji was detained.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

"Cough cough cough..."

"You wait for a traitor, why don't you kill me with one knife! I, Zhang Ji, will never surrender! Cough cough..."

Before everyone entered the camp, they heard Zhang Ji's shout, the voice was loud, but hoarse, like rough old bark, very unpleasant.

Hearing Zhang Ji's shout, Wei Man subconsciously frowned, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, thinking that if Zhang Rang could not make Zhang Ji surrender even if he healed his illness, there would be only one way left for him. Zhang Ji.

That is of course a dead end.

Xia Yuanyun opened the tent curtain and invited Zhang Rang and Wei Man in.

Zhang Ji's face was pale, and he was lying on his back on the couch in heavy ties, with blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth. When he coughed, blood gushed out of his mouth. Seeing Wei Man walk in, he stared, his eyes seemed to be able to spew out flames, and his eye sockets burst He glared at Wei Man angrily.

"Wei Man is a thief!!! If you have the ability, you kill me! Imprisoning me here is nothing but a coward!"

When Wei Man heard it, he immediately "bang!!" put the medicine box on the table with a loud bang, and looked at Zhang Ji coldly.

But in a blink of an eye, he changed into a warm smile and said: "Zhang Ji, you are a tough guy. I respect you as a hero. How could you kill you? Isn't that right? I brought Mr. Changqiu to treat your illness! Don't worry, you can't die..."

When Wei Man spoke the last half of his sentence, his gentle smile was mixed with a hint of sinister laughter, but it was fleeting.

Zhang Rang didn't care about their battle of wits and courage, he would go up and feel Zhang Ji's pulse right away.

Zhang Ji was very uncooperative and yelled: "You dog thief!! Let me go! You coward! Fight me!"

"Hey! What kind of hero!?"

"Wei Man! You eunuch's grandson! I rely on money to donate to officials, and shit is worse!"

Zhang Ji suddenly started to curse like this, of course he was accusing Wei Man's grandfather of being the great eunuch Wei Pei, and Wei Man's father of being a grand lieutenant bought with money.

Although Wei Man was from a famous family, it was not a very prestigious family after all. Zhang Ji's roar immediately poked Wei Man's weakness.

Wei Man's expression "Shua!" changed in an instant, with a hint of ferocity in his coldness, veins popped on his forehead, and blue blood vessels protruded, like a beast about to attack.

But after a while, Wei Man laughed again and said, "Eh? I came today not to argue with you, but to bring a doctor to treat your illness. Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Zhang Ji wanted to anger Wei Man, so he deliberately abused Wei Man's father and grandfather, but Wei Man easily saw through, immediately turned ashamed, and repeated, "Kill me, kill me, it's like being humiliated here... ..."

Zhang Rang was unmoved, regardless of whether Zhang Ji was spouting abuse or not, he just felt his pulse, then wrote Zhang Fangzi, and soon went to boil the medicine.

After a while, he brought back a bowl of decoction and said: "It's just caused by anger and fire, plus internal injuries and wind and cold. After drinking the medicine and resting for a while, it's unbearable to die."

Upon hearing this, Wei Man smiled and said, "That's good, Mr. Lao."

Zhang Rang walked over with the medicine, and asked Xia Yuanyun to help Zhang Ji, who was tied up all over the place, from the couch, and feed him the medicine with his own hands.

When Zhang Ji heard that he was not going to die, his face was ashen, his lips trembling, and when Zhang Rang fed the medicine to his mouth, he suddenly roared and hit Zhang Rang hard.

"Bang!!"

"Clap!"

Xia Yuanyun grabbed Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji fell ill and was very weak, who knew that Xia Yuanyun would not be able to pull him with such force if he suddenly exerted all his strength.

Zhang Ji bumped into Zhang Rang and knocked over the hot medicine bowl in his hand, half of the medicine soup was splashed on Zhang Rang,

"hiss……"

Zhang Rang took a deep breath, his forehead was hot, and he quickly shook his hands.

When Wei Man saw it, he immediately rushed to his forehead with anger, rushed over to hold Zhang Rang's hand, and said, "How is it? Is it too hot?! It's red!"

Wei Man spoke incoherently, and before Zhang Rang could answer, he saw the back of Zhang Rang's hands were a little red, and he was so angry that he drew out his sword with a "chih—" and said in a hoarse voice, "You're looking for death!"

Just as Wei Man drew out his saber, Zhang Rang grabbed Wei Man's hand and shook his head at him.

Although Zhang Rang is a forensic doctor, he doesn't understand these tricks, but it's a coincidence that because Zhang Rang has few things in his mind, he can also see that Wei Man wants to use this to subdue Zhang Ji.

If because of this incident, Wei Man wanted to kill Zhang Ji in a fit of anger, wouldn't it be a loss?

Zhang Rang stopped Wei Man and prevented him from doing anything.

Seeing Wei Man lose his composure, Zhang Ji knew that he cared about Zhang Rang, so he yelled: "What kind of bullshit soup?! I can't drink it! Get out! You shitty doctor! Dogs are worse than pigs!"

Zhang Rang heard Zhang Ji's scolding, but he ignored it, and there was no trace of anger on his face. After all, in Zhang Rang's ears, scolding him was almost the same as praising him, and it didn't make him feel angry at all.

However, Zhang Rang's eyes were a little cold, and also a little serious, not because of Zhang Ji's abuse, but because he ruined a bowl of soup.

Zhang Rang looked at him coldly, with a flat voice, without a trace of tone, and said: "I will cook another bowl, which is exactly the same. If you still waste it like this, don't blame me for being rude. I'm pouring you, can you hear me clearly?"

Zhang Ji roared madly, who would have thought that the seemingly gentle doctor in front of him could speak with such dignity...
