"Who do you think wants to go to Yuyang for medical treatment?"
Xu Yue looked at the sneaky Sima Yi who suddenly came to the door and asked doubtfully.
Sima Yi cupped his fists and replied: "It's my old father."
Xu Yue suddenly felt strange: "A big noble family can't find a famous doctor? What kind of difficult and complicated disease is it?"
"Headache."
"Why does it hurt?"
"It hurts from time to time. When it hurts, I can't eat or sleep. The doctor prescribed medicine, but it doesn't help."
"Oh, that sounds pretty serious."
Sima Yi raised his head and glanced at Xu Yue, "My father is in Xuzhou now. The land route to the north has to pass through Jizhou. I'm afraid there will be something wrong. I wonder if I can let my father board the ship on the coast of Xuzhou and go north?"
Now the Xu family's army occupies Youzhou, Gongsun Zan occupies Bingzhou and Jizhou, the Cao family occupies Sili, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and the Sun family occupies Yangzhou and half of Jingzhou.
Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, was the holder of the original shares of the Cao family and belonged to the elite level of the Cao family. If he crossed Gongsun Zan's territory from Jizhou, it would definitely be a dead end.
It's not worth losing your life for medical treatment, and it's normal to want to change your path.
But Xu Yue didn't think that just a headache could make an old fox like Sima Fang willing to take risks and travel all the way north to seek treatment.
"I remember, isn't Cao De a famous doctor named Hua Tuo? Your father is also a backbone after all. Isn't he going to lose this kind of treatment?" Xu Yue was simply curious.
Sima Yi smiled inexplicably, as if Xu Yue's words had inspired him, and suddenly said:
"Zhongda is in the Xu Jiajun. Not to mention credit, there is always hard work. According to the rules of the Xu Jiajun, all staff members in the Xu Jiajun have preferential treatment for their families. Zhongda wants his father to come over for treatment. Chief, will you approve it?"
Hearing this, Xu Yue also laughed and thought to herself, you don't even know who your old father is!
The backbone elite of the Cao family, the original stock holders of Cao De, is it really as simple as coming here to see a doctor?
I'm afraid it's not a spy sent by Cao De!
Sima Yi, don’t forget which camp you are from!
Xu Yue suddenly stopped smiling and stared at Sima Yi with sharp eyes, "Give me a reasonable reason."
It would have been fine if Sima Fang had come overland by himself, but now he had to take a boat to go north. For Xu Jiajun, it was extremely risky to take a detour to pick up such a person.
Sima Yi saw Xu Yue's expression and knew what she was worried about. He stood up and said respectfully:
"Zhongda is a member of the Xu family army. There is no need for the leader to question this. Zhongda's actions cannot be said to be completely without selfish motives, but in total, they only account for 10%."
"The remaining 90% are all plotting for the leader and the Xu family army!"
Xu Yue raised her eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.
Sima Yi explained: "The Cao family is powerful in the south. After several years of recuperation, the Cao family will go north at any time."
"The first one to bear the brunt is Jizhou. Although our Xu family army has stopped and focused on internal construction, according to the ideas of the leader and General Wang, it is imperative to go south."
"And the first step for our Xu family army to go south must be in Jizhou."
"If Jizhou at that time was under the Cao family instead of Gongsun Zan and Beidi, then for us, it would be a fierce battle for us to fight against the five states with one state's weak strength, even if there are magic soldiers descending from the sky."
Xu Yue nodded. It was undeniable that Xu Jiajun was not ready to confront Cao De yet.
But that doesn’t stop them from getting ready now!
Sima Yi added: "In my opinion, there is actually no conflict between our Xu Jiajun and the Cao family at the moment. It would be better to turn enemies into friends and then slowly work towards it."
Of course Xu Yue understands the truth, but is Cao willing to give up the fat piece of Jizhou?
"Has the leader forgotten that Jingzhou is also a blessed land?" Sima Yi reminded.
Xu Yue nodded, she had not forgotten, and in their family's plan, they had already made preparations to enter Yangzhou from the sea and Jingzhou via the Yangtze River.
But.......
"Why would the Cao family give up Jizhou because of our Xu Jiajun? Didn't the Cao family try to win Jingzhou? Why can't they win it?"
"Moreover, the opponent's military strength is several times stronger than ours, so why don't they covet Youzhou?"
"For the Cao family's military strength, it is not a problem to capture Jizhou and directly enter Youzhou. One day we will face each other." Xu Yue said solemnly.
"Also, if I ask Gongsun Hao to go to Xuzhou to pick up your old father, can you guarantee that he will not seize our ship and take it directly for himself?" Xu Yue asked sharply.
It’s not that she doesn’t believe in Sima Yi, it’s that she doesn’t believe in Sima Fang.
Some fathers will not even let their sons go if they cheat them.
For example, Taoist priest Xu Qingyang of her family never showed mercy when cheating his son!
He never expected Xu Yue's reaction, and Sima Yi was stunned for a while.
He had always thought that with Zhou Xuan and Cao in the middle, he and his father would be able to slow down their plan to invade Hebei and Youzhou for a year or two.
But now Xu Yue tells him that his father is unreliable?
This is something Sima Yi never imagined.
It's not that he's not smart enough, it's that he regards his old father as his father, not the elite backbone of Cao's camp.
Xu Yue looked at Sima Yi's "I've broken my guard" look, stood up and patted his arm to comfort him:
"Don't be too sad. Sometimes my father cheats on me. Who makes me her son? If you don't cheat on me, who will cheat on you?"
Xu Yue thought for a while and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's not easy for your father. He still has to worry about his master's career at an old age."
"Having a headache is really torturous. Let's do this. You write a letter to your father and ask them to take a boat into the sea. I will ask Gongsun Hao to wait for him at sea and take your father over and let Dr. Gu take a look at it."
"Oh, let them go to Zhuo County. This year we will go to Zhuo County to celebrate the New Year."
After saying this, Xu Yue made a cheering gesture towards Sima Yi, went back to the house with her hands behind her back, and sent a telegram to Gongsun Hao.
...
In mid-September, three large sailing ships slowly sailed into the waters near Xuzhou and stopped in the deep sea area one mile away from the shore.
According to the usual arrangement, the crew will not stop here, but continue to walk north for another four days, enter Qingzhou Bay, and anchor at the dock there for repairs.
After all, that is the fleet's own territory, and safety is guaranteed.
Unlike the sea area like Xuzhou, where large ships are parked, they may encounter small patrol boats of enemy forces at any time.
But the captain Gongsun Hao is not afraid of them either.
As long as it is on the sea, he can guarantee that their sailboat will be the fastest sailing one and no one can catch up.
The climate at sea is completely different from the climate on land. At this time, Xuzhou has entered autumn and the temperature has dropped.
The sea is still as warm as spring.
Gongsun Hao likes to return in August the most, because starting from September and lasting until December, he can catch the northwest wind.
There is a favorable wind, the ship is fast, and the sea climate is also suitable. He will not be exposed to the sun and will not get cold or catch a cold.
But what made Gongsun Hao sigh was that the students of Xu Jiajun knew these experiences he had gained from his own experience from the very beginning.
