Chapter 336 Balance

The fact that Hua Tuo promised Liu Yi to go to the Fishing Township Academy to teach his disciples did not spread, but Hua Tuo stayed in Xiangyang for the time being at the invitation of Liu Yi. First, to take care of Guan Yu's injuries, second, Liu Yi was worried that if he was shot one day, he would have to ask Hua Tuo to help him save his life.

After all, many things on the battlefield are unpredictable. Pang Tong and Guan Yu are the best proof. He doesn't want to die inexplicably one day under the trap.

"So, most of the diseases in this world are unsolvable in terms of current medical skills?" Liu Yi looked at Hua Tuo, speechless.

In history, Hua Tuo was a miraculous doctor. It seemed that no disease could not be cured. But now, Hua Tuo, who was so magical that later generations told him that he had no way to do anything about many diseases... The reason is this, but he still felt a little disappointed and regretful.

"General diseases can be eradicated in the early stages, but when people discover them, they often have already..." Hua Tuo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "So I have begun to try to study human bodies over the years."

Simply put, Hua Tuo is studying the science of decomposition. For example, like Guan Yu, he cut off all the necrotic rotten meat and then conditioned it, which makes him feel like a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. In other words... the second brother was actually a test subject.

Liu Yi, who got this answer, had a strange expression. In history, what Hua Tuo said to Boss Cao was trying to pry Boss Cao open his mind, so study it?

In an instant, Liu Yi suddenly felt that Hua Tuo's eyes fell on him were strange, and he felt like he was being targeted by an evil ghost.

"If you don't talk about this, I actually feel that it is better to prevent it in advance instead of waiting until the disease occurs. Have you ever thought about writing a book that teaches the world how to prevent diseases? For example, how to describe some early signs of diseases and then properly solve them?" Liu Yi looked at Hua Tuo and asked.

When Hua Tuo heard this, his eyes lit up. It was obvious that Liu Yi's idea was something he had never thought about. Instead of treating the disease when it occurred, it would be better to start to prevent it when the disease was still mild. This would make it much simpler.

The two of them suddenly became more and more topics. Hua Tuo was obviously a little moved by this idea and began to prepare.

"What do you think Tinghou and the miracle doctor are talking about?" In Liu Yi's hall, Zhou Cang and Liao Hua, who came to thank Hua Tuo for their orders, were left in the living room. The two of them didn't think there was anything, they were just a little bored and couldn't quite understand what Liu Yi and Hua Tuo had to communicate with? Could it be that Liu Yi still understands medical skills? Or Hua Tuo understands the Mo family's calculations? No matter how they think, they don't think that these two people have any common topics.

"Ting Hou is an extraordinary person. I guess he really knows some medical skills." Liao Hua said uncertainly. He knew why Liu Yi could talk to a miracle doctor like Hua Tuo and keep Hua Tuo, but it was a good thing.

"I'm tired of the two generals for a long time, and it's a mistake for Tuo." Liu Yi and Hua Tuo finally came out at this time. Looking at the two, Hua Tuo said apologetically.

"It's okay, I'll wait here, in addition to being ordered to thank Mr. Ting Hou, there is something to discuss with Mr. Ting." Liao Hua looked at Hua Tuo apologetically and said.

"Since that's the case, I will leave first." Hua Tuo stood up tactfully. Although he agreed to join Liu Yi to teach his disciples in the Fishing Township Academy, Hua Tuo was actually quite disgusted with these wars and did not want to participate more.

"Sir, go slowly!" Liu Yi stood up and sent Hua Tuo out of the house, then looked at the two of them.

"Mr. Tinghou, the Cao army has been disturbed again. We are worried that Junhou will not dare to tell him. So we came to discuss with Mr. Tinghou." Seeing Hua Tuo leave, Liao Hua looked solemn and bowed to Liu Yi.

"Oh?" Liu Yi sat down again and looked at the two of them and said, "What's the matter?"

"According to the Malay newspaper, Cao's army gathered heavy troops in the Xinye area, with at least 30,000. It seems that they want to drive troops to Fancheng."

"Fancheng?" Liu Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It was not that he was worried that he could not beat him. It was just that Cao's army had been so entangled. When would he start construction in Xiangyang?

As for what Cao Jun’s idea was? Liu Yi probably guessed that Guan Yu was injured. He wanted to use this method to make Guan Yu unable to cultivate with peace of mind?

Liu Yi is not very sure either.

"Yuan Jian." After thinking for a while, Liu Yi looked at Liao Hua and said.

"The last one is here!" Liao Hua bowed.

"You lead a team of people to Zhuyang, grab Zhuyang back, and then station troops to Zhuyang and insert more flags." Liu Yi thought for a while and suddenly smiled.

Now that Xiangyang is in the hands of Liu Bei, the initiative is not in the Cao army, but in Liu Bei. However, the reconstruction of Xiangyang has given Cao army an opportunity. But in fact, the defensive pressure of Cao army is much greater than that of Jingzhou army. In Xiangfan, even if Xiangyang City is flattened and prepared for reconstruction, unless the Cao army launches a large number of troops, it will be difficult for Cao army to attack with these three cities and Fancheng, and the troops are not weak.

The most important thing is that Liu Bei's army can also send troops directly from Shangyong and directly capture the Cao army's retreat. As long as Zhuyang is taken down, Cao's army will not dare to attack further regardless of whether there are troops or horses in Shangyong's direction. For Nanyang, the biggest disadvantage for Cao's army is that the initiative is taken away. Now the initiative is in the hands of Liu Bei. He has no confidence in the northern expedition to the Central Plains. However, if he wants to attack Nanyang, it is too convenient for Liu Bei to send troops here. If the troops from Hanzhong and Xiangyang are sent, they can be intercepted by the Nanyang Cao army and can only be passively defended.

Zhuyang is just a small pass. Although it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, if there is no support, it will not be difficult to conquer the Jingzhou Army with the equipment.

When Liao Hua heard this, his eyes lit up, and he understood Liu Yi's intention. He immediately agreed and bowed to retreat.

No one thought about war, at least Liu Yi didn't want to. If Cao's army was smart after capturing Zhuyang, he would naturally withdraw his troops. If he was not smart, he would contact Shuzhong and send troops from Shangyong to directly seize the other party's retreat. Not to mention taking Nanyang, it would be no problem to plunder the population of Nanyang.

"Mr. Ting, where is me?" Zhou Cang looked at Liu Yi with some expectations.

"You go to Fancheng and cooperate with the defenders to defend the city. Remember, if he only defends but not attacks, if his Cao army is so strong, let them attack by themselves. If he doesn't have the courage, then stay obediently." Liu Yi smiled. During this period, he had to help Guan Yu here, and Xiangyang's city construction work can only be temporarily put on hold, but it should not be put on hold for too long.

Three days later, Liao Hua led his army to raid Zhuyang and transmitted the news of Zhuyang's capture to Cao's army camp.

"Not good!" Cao Ren and Li Dian reacted at the same time, their faces becoming ugly.

"This should be Guan Yu's bluffing plan. It is impossible for Hanzhong soldiers to arrive so quickly." Cao Ren pondered.

"But if our army continues to entangle here, it may not be possible. Then Liu Feng and Meng Da are now stationing troops in Shangyong, and their troops can arrive at Zhuyang at any time. If we insist on attacking Fancheng, the other party will probably directly capture our army's retreat!" Li Dian said with a wry smile.

If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something. If Liu Bei really came from Hanzhong and they were entangled with Guan Yu here, then even if he took Xiangfan, Nanyang might be lost. He had already lost Xiangyang. If Nanyang was lost, I really don’t know how to face Cao Cao.

In fact, whether Cao Cao or Liu Bei has fought for many years, he probably doesn't want to start the war rashly. Because of this incident, the battle in Nanyang was started, which is probably a result that neither of the two families would want to see.

When Cao Ren heard this, he sighed. The battles have not been very smooth in the past few years. He attacked Shangyong, but was blocked by the opponent in Fangling and failed to advance. Cao Hong was also lost. When Xiangyang behind him was also led to attack Xiangyang, he found that the situation had changed and the initiative was captured in the hands of the enemy. That feeling was really not very wonderful.

In the end, Cao Ren chose to compromise and gave up the great opportunity of Guan Yu being injured. Nanyang had just experienced a large-scale rebellion, and the rear was unstable. If Liu Bei was determined to fight alone and Liu Bei really came from Hanzhong, the possibility of defending Nanyang was really slim. The most urgent thing is to stabilize Nanyang first and wait for an opportunity to seize Xiangyang after the time is ripe.

At this time, even though Liu Yi and others deliberately refused to let Guan Yu know, Guan Yu was the commander of the three armies after all. It was not easy to hide such a big thing from him. Soon he got the news and was ready to go to Fancheng to compete with Cao's army, but was told that Cao Ren and Li Dian had withdrawn, which made Guan Yu a little dissatisfied.

"Why didn't Bo Yuan tell me about such a big event?" When he returned to the military camp, looking at Liu Yi, Guan Yu's tone was a little nervous.

"Don't blame me, lord." Liu Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Yuanhua has instructed me, lord, not to get angry within a hundred days, nor to go to the battlefield. Otherwise, the arrow sores will recur and the gods will not be able to save me. Therefore, let Liao Hua and Zhou Cang not inform me of this matter, so as not to affect my cultivation."

Guan Yu was still a little unhappy, but after all, this matter was for the sake of his injury. He could not blame Liu Yi. He could only turn the topic away and ask if Cao's army would return this time to withdraw his troops?

"I don't want to fight now, and Cao Cao has the same idea. After all, the war will take a long time. If I'm not sure, how could Cao Cao easily move his troops?" Liu Yi shook his head and said, "Unless he is sure to win, the Cao army will not take the initiative to provoke for a long time."

Of course, the premise is that Cao's army has no choice but to take advantage of it. There is still a need to stick to the three cities. At least before the new Xiangyang City is established, you cannot move around. Otherwise, if Cao's army catches obvious flaws, then Cao Ren and Li Dian are not vegetarians, and they may immediately rush over to retake Xiangfan.
