While Liu Bei was recuperating in Nanzheng, he was hospitalized for medical treatment, and Guangling County, Xuzhou, more than 2,000 miles away from the east, was under Huaiyin County.

Several tall and strong river and sea dual-purpose sand boats are docking at the dock of Huaiyin Port. A famous doctor who was preparing to set off to treat Liu Bei was escorted by a caravan and local officials and was about to set off.

The famous doctor was nearly 50 years old, and of course he was the world's surgeon Hua Tuo and Hua Yuanhua. He had just traveled to Xuzhou from Yuzhou to avoid war last year, and this year he had to leave Xuzhou to continue avoid war.

The one who escorted him was a heroic general of the Liaodong Army, the twenty-six-year-old school captain Taishi Ci.

Why was Taishici sent here? He spoke for a long time.

At the age of 21, Taishici followed Liu Bei, who was the prefect of Liaodong, to cross the sea to pursue the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in Wusu, and made contributions in the expedition. Before he knew it, five years had passed.

Two years before he joined the army, he made some contributions with Liu Bei. After Liu Bei threw the stall to Mi Zhu, he worked with Mi Zhu for another three years.

In the past three years, there has been no war, and it can only be said that it is a lot of hard work. After all, without Taishi Ci, Mi Zhu took over, it was not so easy to sweep the East China Sea business road, nor so easy to completely clear out the occasionally recurring pirates of Shaman Island.

Although Xu Rong was far more talented in leading the army than the young Taishi Ci, he did not understand water warfare, nor did he understand sea warfare. Taishi Ci was a seaman born on the beach, which was a characteristic that most water warfare generals did not possess. Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, under Liu Bei, were just water warfare generals living on the Yangtze River, but they had never seen the sea.

In addition to the naval warfare needs in the early stages of pioneering, Taishi Ci also made contributions to Mi Zhu's early stages of pioneering the Belting County (Hanjiang River Basin in South Korea). Later, when he was inviting Gongsun Du, who was trying to seize power in Liaodong, he checked and balanced Xu Rong to ensure that everything was foolproof. After three years, Mi Zhu also promoted Taishi Ci to the commander, and later expressed his "Pingyi School Captain", guarding Donglai alone to demonstrate his achievements in defeating Dongyi.

Unfortunately, recently, Mi Zhu and Taishi Ci have had to face a serious problem - because Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian in this world are obviously weaker than the same period of history, and without the help of Liu Bei, the Qing and Xu prefectures near Donglai will soon change their ownership, and the imperial court's laws and appointments will soon become waste paper.

At that time, who can be the governor and prefect in Qingzhou and Xuzhou will have no final say for the first time. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will have the final say.

Needless to say, the Battle of Xuzhou was defeated without Liu Bei.

Now it is October 192, Tao Qian has lost the entire territory of Pengcheng and Langya. Suiling in Xiapi County, Xiapi County, has also been captured, with almost only an isolated city in Xiapi County, the prefecture-governed city, which is still surrounded by Cao Cao, and is in a state of long-lasting siege.

Currently, Tao Qian is only half of the county east of Tan County, the county seat of Donghai County, plus the entire Guangling County.

In other words, Tao Qian was left in the five counties of Xuzhou, plus a county with a large number of surrounding prefectures. The reason why Cao Cao was not in a hurry to divide his troops to Guangling was that he wanted to surround Tao Qian himself to death first, and the remaining hopes were made to make an edict.

The Battle of Qingzhou was much more dull. In history, Yuan Shao wanted to extend his hand to Qingzhou early in the morning, but was mainly stopped by Gongsun Zan, because although Gongsun Zan in history was defeated in the Battle of Jieqiao, he defeated Yuan Shao in the later Battle of Jumashui and killed more than 7,000 Yuan's army. The Battle of Jumashui and Longcui fought back for more than two years.

But in this life, Gongsun Zan did not even have the Battle of Jieqiao, but it turned into the Battle of Nanpi last year. After being defeated by Qu Yi, Yi was completely cut off the possibility of going south and side-strike (see Chapter 186 for the book friends who read last year. When writing about Mi Zhu's plot last year, he wrote about the deductions of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan)

So throughout 192, Yuan Shao actually blocked Gongsun Zan while harvesting Qingzhou eastward. During this period of history, Qingzhou's main resistance force should be the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. However, after being weakened twice by Liu Bei and Cao Cao, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in this lifetime could not withstand Yuan Shao's enterprising efforts, and they were attacked and killed or fled to Taishan County in Yanzhou.

Now the Qingzhou soldiers and the Taishan bandits have completely merged, with only three main leaders left. Zang Ba, Sun Guan and Sun Li. Zang Ba was also poisoned by Cao Cao because he killed Cao Cao's good brother Bao Xin last year and was vowed to destroy him. Kill Zang Ba to avenge Bao Xin. Therefore, Zang Ba can only survive in the cracks between Cao Yuan.

Within a year, Yuan Shao steadily captured Jinan, Qi County, Le'an and other places. Beihai County, which was left with Kong Rong in Qingzhou, seemed a little independent and autonomous, blocking the west barrier of Donglai. Once Kong Rong also waited for Pingkaicheng to join Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao would also have an excuse to get involved in Donglai.

After all, Mi Zhu was just the prefect of Liaodong. He took the opportunity to occupy Donglai, just because "Donglai was still in the hands of the Yellow Turbans and the court had no time to send officials", so he asked him to buy the Duwei Taishici to manage it, and later he asked his younger brother Mi Fang to take charge of civil affairs.

If Yuan Shao succeeded in expressing the Qingzhou Governor, Mi Zhu would not be able to fight by force at all. Donglai was not like Liaodong, and it was not dangerous enough, and Mi Zhu would not have the financial and military strength.

Even if Yuan Shao didn't take it, Cao Cao, who took Langya, might go east to Chengyang, and then want to get involved in Donglai.

In grief and helplessness, Mi Zhu had to make preparations: First, diplomatically try to show goodwill with Yuan Shao, and then give up some land rhythmically in exchange for Yuan Shao to have a good alliance with him, and promise not to infringe on Mi Zhu's rule in other regions and fields in the future.

Yuan Shao wanted some of the broken lands in Donglai. If he wanted to leave behind a harbor city of Huang County, which was controlled by Mi Zhu, Yuan Shao set up another county seat, that would be the best. Anyway, Yuan Shao didn't understand business, all he wanted was farmers and land. All he allowed was to trade. Yuan Shao could collect more commercial taxes.

The second preparation was that Mi Zhu began to move Donglai's physical wealth that was easy to take away and tried his best to move it to Liaodong for transportation. Taishi Ci and Mi Fang also made other arrangements.

After Mi Fang escorted the fleet for the last time, he would return to Dashi County, Liaodong. Taishi Ci was persuaded by Mi Zhu to go to Liu Bei to make achievements because Donglai really had no place to use his skills.

Before parting, Mi Zhu had a sincere drink with Taishi Ci and gave some gifts and money to practice:

"Ziyi, I know you have the talent of a great general. Now Liaodong is safe. Three Han and Fuyu have not seen a hero who can threaten Liaodong. After the troubles of Gongsun Du were lifted, Xu and I met completely honestly, abandoned all the knots and cooperated sincerely.

Duke Xuande promoted to the King of Hanzhong and raised the banner of righteousness to support the Han Dynasty. If you go with him, you will definitely be able to make a special honor again, and your future is far better than being trapped in a corner of Donglai.

Gongsun Zan was not in harmony with us before, but fortunately, the King of Yan was suppressed by the superiors and Yuan Shao was restrained by the outside. Gongsun Zan could not have the strength to threaten us. Now I am afraid that Gongsun Zan will last for at most two or three years. Yuan Shao’s alliance with us is not credible.

After Gongsun Zan's destruction, it will take up to five years at most. Yuan Shao may have plotted on Liaodong unless we pay a large amount of money every year to stabilize him. I hope that the King of Hanzhong will bring peace to the world again by then."

The King of Yan mentioned in Mi Zhu's dialect is naturally Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou. Liu Yu received the enthronement edict at the end of July because of the long road. Wang Yun was already dead at that time. So Liu Yu's resignation made the envoy know that he could not go there before he could reach Chang'an. Liu Yu was half-rejected and half-received as King of Yan in September, and it was almost the same as Liu Bei's time to be the King of Hanzhong.

However, Liu Bei was defeated in Wuzhangyuan and found the place to fight Dong Yue and Fan Chou, and delayed more than two months from the time he received the imperial edict before he became emperor, while Liu Yu was simply delayed because of the long journey.

Yuan Shao even mentioned the old story again at that time, and used the excuse that "the emperor was kidnapped by the Liangzhou army again", hoping to support Liu Yu as emperor again, and completely attacked and destroyed Gongsun Zan with the guise of Liu Yu, but was rejected by Liu Yu. I don't know what Liu Yu was thinking, maybe it was similar to Liu Bei's idea.

Unfortunately, Liu Yu did not know how to fight and lacked the loyal military power of his direct descendants. Although Yuan Shao supported and respected him on the surface, he was completely self-talking in military affairs. Even when attacking the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, he used the banner of "the King of Yan, who replaced the military affairs of the six states of Qingji You and Yanxu, suppressed the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army."

Taishi Ci's answer to Mi Zhu was: "The emperor is noble and righteous, and Ci remembers it in his heart. If the emperor needs a general to fight in the future, Ci will definitely try to help. However, he believes that using the means of the emperor, he can definitely maintain peace and stability in Liaodong without fighting. If he is worried about Yuan Shao's great power, it is better to expect to divide Yuan, Cao, or the two Yuans fight each other, and Yuan Shao may not have time to look around."

The reason why Taishici said this is because Cao Cao still nominally respects Yuan Shao. In Yuan Shao's view, Cao Cao was his general and younger brother. In history, the two officially became different camps, and it was Cao Cao who welcomed the emperor and changed the era to Jian'an.

Similarly, in Yuan Shu's eyes today, Sun Jian is also his general, and the territory he captured was also his territory, so he was confident of becoming emperor only a few years later in history.

Mi Zhu did not comment, so he asked Taishi Ci to go to the East China Sea from Donglai, then walked into Sichuan by water, and escorted Hua Tuo, who had just found in the Mi family caravan, to enter Sichuan.

...

"I will send you thousands of miles away. I will finally part. Chen Fujun helps us find Mr. Yuanhua and escort him here by land. The King of Hanzhong will definitely thank the King of Hanzhong for his future. Guangling is also a troublesome now, so the King of Hanzhong will take care of him. If you are unhappy and are willing to enter Shu or go to Jingzhou, the King of Hanzhong will definitely welcome him."

On the dock of Huaiyin Port, Taishici ordered the sailors to untie the cables, while bowing goodbye to Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling who was seeing him off, and also drank three bowls of wine together.

"Alas, in just a few months, three of the five counties in Xuzhou have fallen into the hands of Cao thieves. As a native of Guangling, he cannot protect the country and the people, so he is really ashamed. He only regrets that he cannot leave his hometown, so I want to wait and see for a while.

If Cao Cao could restore his conscience after Tao Gongzu's death and listen to others' dissuasion, at least in the East China Sea, the two counties of Guangling will no longer be massacred, and I can only stay with him and protect the people. If Cao Cao was really crazy and Guangling turned into a Qiuxu, then I could only go west to the King of Hanzhong in order to support the Han Dynasty and uphold justice."

When Chen Deng said this, his tone was really heartbroken.

He entered the officialdom at the age of 25. It has been five years since then, and it is considered to be thirty. In the first five years of his career, he served as the magistrate of Dongyang County for two years and the Diannong School Captain for three years. He was considered as Tao Qian's military farming officer. He was in charge of the reclaiming and reconstruction work of the Yellow Turban Army ravaged by Tao Qian, and his achievements were also remarkable.

This work has many interactions with Mi Zhu because he often needs to do business with Mi Zhu, supplement materials, and learn from Mi Zhu's experience of reclaiming wasteland in Liaodong. He is also a fellow villager of Mi Zhu, who is willing to help Mi Zhu so much.

It was only this year that Chen Deng was promoted to the prefect of Guangling by Tao Qian because of his good political achievements as the Pawnsman's Officer. When Cao Cao came, the county where only Chen Deng was left in the five counties of Xuzhou was not harmed by Cao Cao at all.

Facing Chen Deng's sigh, Taishici also advised him very pragmatically and sincerely: "Who knows how crazy the Cao thief would be? Even if he wants to protect the people, he has to stand under the dangerous wall. But the lord of the mansion might as well consider the three holes of the cunning rabbit. The children of the clan can follow Mi Fang's fleet to Liaodong to escape, or make other plans."

Chen Deng hesitated for a while, arranged a follower, and cared for Taishi Ci, and said, "This is my nephew Chen Jiao, who was led as Gongcao by me, and he was appointed as an envoy. This time, he will go to Hanzhong with you to see the people, which can be regarded as a visit to the King of Hanzhong for me. The general trend of the world is still unknown."

Chen Jiao said that he was Chen Deng's nephew, and the reason why his surname was Chen was because he had his mother's surname. His mother was Chen Deng's cousin and from Guangling.

The Han Dynasty gave birth early, so the children of brothers and sisters were not much different from those of uncles and uncles. As a nephew, Chen Jiao was only about ten years younger than Chen Deng. He was called by his uncle to be a junior official in the county.

Taishi Ci wanted to escort Hua Tuo anyway, so he brought a few more people, so he brought Chen Deng's pathfinder.

Hua Tuo, who had never spoken aside and was quietly waiting for Taishi Ci and Chen Deng to talk about the important matters, saw that they had nothing to talk about, so he finally nagged Chen Deng before parting with the kindness of the doctor:

"Mr. Chen Fujun, 'Your disease is in the stomach and intestines, and it will be worse if you don't treat it.' The prescription for garlic juice mentioned the day before yesterday, even after the symptoms of red face and dry heart are relieved, you should drink it once every ten days until the vomiting of the substance is not covered with red insects, so that it can be considered completely cured.

Do not neglect the symptoms as they subside. Do not eat fish after recovery. You should also reduce the fishy smell of fruits, clams, clams, and clams. If you follow my doctor's advice, you can live a long life, otherwise, if you don't have ten years, you may have an unexpected accident."

Although Chen Deng likes to eat sashimi and is a little unwilling to accept it, the miraculous doctor said so, so he had to agree: "Thank you for your advice and register."

Originally, after the war in Yuzhou and northern Xuzhou, Hua Tuo lived in seclusion in Guangling until the early years of Jian'an. Chen Deng only found Hua Tuo to treat sashimi parasite disease during the Jian'an period. He was already very serious. Although Hua Tuo detoxified him, he also said that he would die within three years. Later, it turned out that it was more than a year after the Battle of Guandu, and he died at the age of 40.

However, because it was five years earlier, the condition is probably not very serious.
