Under the corridor, Cao Pi was riding on Xu Chu's back. Xu Chu was crawling on the ground. Cao Pi was holding a rope in his hand, waving it constantly and shouting loudly: "Drive! Drive! Horse, run faster."
Ah... too slow, too slow... run faster, drive..."
It was midsummer, the sun was in the sky, and in the hot weather, Xu Chu asked Cao Pi to ride him up and down the corridor. He was already sweating profusely. When he heard that Cao Pi was still slow, he said: "Second Young Master, why don't I take you with me?"
How about riding a real big horse?"
"Okay, okay, but you have to carry me!" Cao Pi suddenly stretched out his little arms and hugged Xu Chu's neck, and lay on Xu Chu's back but couldn't go down.
Xu Chu had no choice but to carry little Cao Pi on his back and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He happened to see Cao Zhen walking into the courtyard with an old man with a childlike face and heavy hair holding a mahogany crutch. He hurriedly asked: "Captain Cao!
Is this the miracle doctor Hua Tuo?"
Cao Zhen nodded and said: "It is the Divine Doctor Hua. General Xu, has your Majesty eaten?"
"Well, I've already eaten." With that, Xu Chu walked up to Hua Tuo and said hurriedly, "Miracle Doctor Hua, hurry up and go in and treat my king. My king has a severe headache, and you are the only one in the world, Doctor Hua.
It can be cured."
Hua Tuo has a broad forehead, high buns, swollen cheekbones, and his boyish face and fair hair. At first glance, he looks somewhat immortal. The difference is that he is not wearing a Taoist robe.
, but wearing a very ordinary piece of clothing
He was wearing clothes, and the crutch he was leaning on was made of peach wood and looked to be quite old. There was a huge gourd tied to the crutch, and there was a baggage on his left shoulder. His clothes were covered with dust, and his trouser legs and shoes were all covered with dirt.
Dried mud.
He glanced at Xu Chu's anxious look and comforted him: "General, don't be anxious. Since I'm here, I will cure the disease with medicine. Please take me in to see King Wei so that I can prescribe the right medicine."
Xu Chu turned to the little Cao Pi on his back and said: "Second Young Master, it seems that you can't ride a big horse today. I will teach you riding skills another day. Divine Doctor Hua is here to cure the king's headache. You don't want to
Will the king continue to be sick like this?"
Although Cao Pi was young, he still loved his father very much. He immediately said: "Put me down. I will take the miracle doctor to see my father. When the miracle doctor cures my father's illness, my father can personally
Taught me how to ride."
At this time, Cao Ang and Cao Xiu also ran over. After seeing Hua Tuo, Cao Ang hurriedly asked: "Are you Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor?"
Hua Tuo laughed and said, "It's just a false name. The word "miracle doctor" is just what others call it."
Cao Ang was so eager to save his father that he didn't care about the trivial matters. He took Hua Tuo's hand and walked into the room, anxiously shouting: "Father...Father...The miracle doctor Hua is here...Father."
Some of the illnesses were cured..."
Cao Cao was lying on the bed, leaning against the bedside, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, and was reading it carefully. After hearing Cao Ang's cry, he raised his head and saw Cao Ang pulling a man with gray hair and childish face.
He broke in, put down the bamboo slips in his hands, and asked, "Zixiu, please don't be rude to the Chinese miracle doctor."
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao sat up slowly. Just as he was about to get out of bed, Cao Ang pulled Hua Tuo to the bedside, pushed Hua Tuo and said nervously: "Doctor Hua, please give my father a quick look and cure him."
Well, I will be rewarded with many rewards!"
Hua Tuo pushed Cao Ang's hand away, looked at Cao Cao's face briefly, and then said to Cao Ang with a smile: "The King of Wei is not sick and does not need my treatment."
Xu Chu led Cao Pi and Cao Zhen, and Cao Xiu walked in together. He happened to hear Hua Tuo's words, and there was a burst of surprise on his face.
Cao Ang said: "How is this possible? Are you a miracle doctor? My father has had a splitting headache these past few days and has not thought about food or food. He is either sick or something. Why do you say you are not sick..."
Having said this, Cao Ang turned his head and glanced at Cao Zhen, and immediately shouted: "Cao Zidan, where did you find this old man? Was he deceived?"
Cao Zhen looked ashamed and cupped his hands and replied: "My eldest son, this person is indeed the miracle doctor Hua Tuo. I specially invited him here from Xiangyi. At that time, I saw with my own eyes the miracle doctor Hua Tuo's rejuvenating medical skills, which brought people back to life. It was really unbelievable.
Okay. I want to ask, who else in the world can have such medical skills?"
Cao Ang wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Cao Cao's cough.
"Miracle Doctor Hua, I am indeed suffering from a headache. I have a splitting headache and feel extremely uncomfortable. I have been bedridden for two or three days in a row. I have even entrusted all major military and political matters to my subordinates. Please ask the miracle doctor to give me a prescription.
Here is a prescription to cure my king's illness." Cao Cao slowly stood up and said to Hua Tuo respectfully.
Hua Tuo laughed and said: "King Wei, I still say that King Wei is not sick and does not need my treatment. However, heart diseases still need heart medicine. I can give King Wei a prescription to clear his stomach. That's OK.
Increase King Wei's appetite, but as for this heart disease, I can't cure it."
After hearing this, Cao Cao thought to himself: "The miraculous doctor is indeed a miraculous doctor. He even noticed that I was pretending to be sick..."
"You all go down. No one is allowed in without my order. Also, go and invite Xu Yuanzhi over." Cao Cao waved his hand and said to the others.
Cao Ang said: "Father..."
"Zixiu, didn't you hear what I said? Go and do it quickly!" At this moment, Cao Cao returned to his usual expression, with a serious look on his face, without any hint of a patient.
Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Xu Chu all went out. Xu Chu handed Cao Pi over to Cao Ang and guarded the door himself. Cao Zhen went to call Xu Shu. Cao Ang took Cao Pi and guarded the door with Cao Xiu, but he didn't
Dare to go in.
In an instant, only Cao Cao and Hua Tuo were left in the room. Cao Cao raised his hand, pointed to a stool beside the bed, and said, "Doctor Hua, please sit down!"
Hua Tuo was not polite, put down the baggage on his shoulders, leaned his crutch on a small table, took off the gourd tied to the crutch, placed it on the table in front of him, and said to Cao Cao:
"Thank you, King Wei, for granting me a seat."
When Cao Cao saw Hua Tuo's busy life, he asked: "Mr. Hua has worked hard all the way and was invited here to treat me. This heart disease is also a disease. I wonder if Dr. Hua can go out of his way to treat me."
?”
Hua Tuo heard that there was something in Cao Cao's words, so he nodded and said, "Then Hua is willing to give it a try."
Cao Cao said: "I heard that the miracle doctor's footprints are all over the country, saving countless people, and don't get any money for treating diseases. I wonder if this is true?"
"The rumors in the market are not credible. If Mr. Hua really didn't take any money, he would have starved to death on the street, not to mention that the required medicinal materials also need to be bought with money, how could he not charge money? However, the money collected is due to personal injury.
It just varies. The rich will accept more and the poor will not accept. This is the principle of my medical practice." Hua Tuo said with a smile.
After hearing this, Cao Cao felt that what Hua Tuo said was very reasonable. It is indeed feasible to help the poor with the rich. He continued: "The miracle doctor has been among the people for a long time and has traveled around the world. He must have a very good understanding of the sufferings of the people. I have something to ask you. I don't know.
I wonder if the miracle doctor can answer the questions in my heart."
Hua Tuo nodded and said: "Since the King of Wei thinks highly of Hua, Hua will naturally speak endlessly."
"The miracle doctor is from Qiaojun, and he often practices medicine in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jizhou. He must have heard the opinions of many people. I don't know who is more important in the hearts of the people compared with Gao Fei.
What’s more important?”
"Does King Wei want to hear the truth or lies?"
"truth."
"Two years ago, although Gao Fei openly proclaimed himself king, the people still supported him. He had visited Jizhou several times. Jizhou was originally the land of Yuan Shao. After Gao Fei occupied it, he could not help but exempt the local taxes and return taxes.
A lot of manpower, material and financial resources were used to build roads and water conservancy projects.
, reclaiming wasteland, so that the common people have fields for cultivators, and food for those who sow. In addition, the Yan Kingdom has never recruited a single soldier in two years, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and their expectations for Gao Fei are also increasing little by little. Looking at other things
The vassal states kept oppressing the people and recruiting troops on a large scale, making the people miserable..."
When Hua Tuo said this, he saw a hint of displeasure on Cao Cao's face, so he hurriedly changed his words: "However, the interior of the Wei State has basically become stable. If it hadn't been for the severe drought last year, it is estimated that there would have been many disasters in the Wei State.
More stable. All these are natural disasters that cannot be controlled by human power, and cannot be controlled by King Wei's talents and strategies."
After hearing this, Cao Cao said: "The people of Xuzhou must hate this king deeply. I didn't expect that the mistakes I made back then would lead to today's disaster..."
Hua Tuo naturally knew what Cao Cao was talking about. Back then, Cao Cao avenged his father and massacred hundreds of thousands of Xuzhou people, leaving no chickens or dogs behind wherever he went. Although Tao Qian was defeated and Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou were not alone.
He still hates Cao Cao.
In addition, Zang Ba traveled between Qingzhou and Xuzhou, led his troops to resist Cao Cao, and helped the Xuzhou people fight against Cao Cao, so his reputation was very loud in the Xuzhou area.
Therefore, General Zang Ba of the Yan Army entered Xuzhou with his troops. The people of Xuzhou took action upon hearing the news. First, Cao Bao, the prefect of Xiapi, led his troops to rebel in response to Zang Ba. Then people from all over Xuzhou attacked the county towns and drove away the county guards and magistrates.
, in response to Zang Ba.
After a response, Xun Yu, who was stationed in Xuzhou at the time, was under pressure and anticipated the consequences. He took the lead in leading his troops to leave Xuzhou. He had already lost the battle with Zang Ba in the hearts of the people.
"Since there is no way to make up for it, why should King Wei persist? King Wei's heartache is probably because of this war. The high-spirited King of Wei must not have thought that this battle would be lost so miserably. Since it has become a foregone conclusion, why not King Wei
Leading the people to return to justice, with the mind of King Yan, he will definitely accept King Wei..."
"Miracle Doctor Hua! Have you ever thought that when you said these words, your life was only a matter of seconds?" Cao Cao immediately interrupted Hua Tuo's words and said angrily.
