"The physical overdraft is a bit serious, but it's not a big problem. It only takes a few months to make up for it. But the mental overdraft is beyond my control." Xiangzi shook his head helplessly, "I have been traveling around the world for many years and have treated many patients.
It's not a thousand but it's a few hundred. This is the first time I've seen such a serious mental exhaustion. I really don't care about my life."
Xiangzi was not brought by Huo, but came here on his own.
Huo Dairen searched for Xiangzi in Lingshou for a month but could not find Xiangzi, so they had no choice but to return. Zhao Kuo had given up hope, but a few days later Xiangzi appeared outside the palace with two medicine boys.
.
After Zhao Kuo learned about it, he personally went outside the palace to welcome Xiangzi in.
Although the status of doctors in this era is not high, it depends on who the person is.
Even the monarchs of various countries have great respect for miracle doctors who can truly cure diseases and save people.
After all, no one would have trouble with their own life, right?
"It's okay if you can heal the body, but we can talk about the spirit later." Zhao Kuo said quickly. He had never expected Xiangzi to be able to heal the spirit. Not to mention this era, even future generations with such advanced medicine would have no way to deal with the spiritual field.
"That's all we can do." Xiangzi nodded and took out nine silver needles from the medical box. His fingers flew around and he was dazzled. "Swish, swish!" The silver needles instantly sank into different acupoints.
Xiangzi kept turning the silver needle, and as the silver needle kept vibrating, rays of milky white light emanated from the silver needle, and a peaceful aura nourished Lin Xiangru's body.
"The breath of talent!"
Zhao Kuo looked at Xiangzi in surprise. He didn't expect that a doctor could be gifted. However, he was relieved when he thought that he was a descendant of Bian Que and the leader of contemporary doctors. His medical skills were even better than those of Song Zhong.
It seems unusual for such a person to have no talent.
"I have locked down the injury and will not let it get worse. Don't do anything or think about anything for the next period of time. I will almost recover in a month or two." Xiangzi said, while thinking about the wood.
The slip says medicinal materials. "This is medicinal material."
Zhao Kuo quickly took it, glanced at it and handed it to the guard beside him, who turned around to get the medicine.
"May I ask, old gentleman, how long can I live if I cooperate with the treatment?" Lin Xiangru asked, raising his hands.
He made up his mind that if he could only live for one or two more years with good treatment, he would not need treatment. Now that the Zhao country was in crisis, it was exactly when he was needed. Recuperating at this time would have a big impact on the Zhao country.
"Ten to fifteen years won't be a problem," Xiangzi said.
"Thank you, old sir." Lin Xiangru breathed a sigh of relief. If he could live for ten years, it would be worth it.
"I will let Xunzi help Lin Qing handle government affairs. Lin Qing can rest in peace and cultivate himself. Zhao will still need you in the future." Zhao Kuo comforted.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Xiangru said with clasped fists, feeling a little moved in his heart.
"Qing Lin, please trouble the old gentleman. I have sent people to prepare the house for the old gentleman. It will be good for the old gentleman to live in peace of mind." Zhao Kuo saluted Xiangzi and then made a gesture of invitation.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Zhao." Xiangzi nodded and came to the yard with Zhao Kuo.
"I have built a college outside the city of Handan, and I would like to invite you to serve as a priest. I wonder if you can agree?" Zhao Kuo leaned over and said.
"I only know how to treat illnesses, but I don't know how to make sacrificial wine." Xiangzi shook his head.
He is not interested in the so-called sacrificial wine, nor is he interested in fame and fortune. Otherwise, with his medical skills, he would be regarded as a guest of honor in any country, so why would he travel around the world to treat ordinary people. You know, he often treats ordinary people.
There is no charge for medical treatment, and there is even a fee for medicine.
"You don't need to do anything else. You just need to teach people to treat diseases. If the old gentleman is willing, he can also set up a stall at the entrance of the college to treat people. I will not stop him."
"The old man travels alone in the world. No matter how brilliant his medical skills are, he can only cure a limited number of people. If medical skills are promoted to the world, he can heal thousands of people. This is a great merit." Zhao Kuo said.
Although the sages of this era did not refuse to teach others their academic or technical skills. However, if many people did not meet a suitable disciple, they would rather take it to the coffin than pass it on to future generations. In the end, they could only lose it.
It has to be said that it is a pity that it dropped.
"Your Majesty, you want to promote my medical skills?" Xiangzi looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise.
These days some people value Confucianism, some value Legalism, some value Mohism, and some value military strategists, but no one has ever valued doctors.
"Yes, I would like to invite you to serve as a memorial ceremony for the Medical College of Handan University, teach medicine to the world, and promote medicine." Zhao Kuo said solemnly.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the enlightenment period of traditional Chinese medicine, and it was also the period of fastest development. Acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, hearing, smelling, asking, and feeling, etc., all originated from this period, and then quickly developed into the most advanced medicine in the world.
Later Chinese medicine was almost eliminated by Western medicine. It is not that Chinese medicine is inferior to Western medicine, but that Chinese medicine is no longer suitable for that materialistic and fast-paced society.
When a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner needs to study for more than ten years, or even decades, before he can truly become a practitioner, and the salary before becoming a practitioner is not as high as a screwdriver in a factory.
When a Chinese medicine practitioner is scolded for not being able to cure a disease, but when he is cured, he is said to be a blind cat and a dead mouse.
When a person proudly says that he is a Chinese medicine doctor, but is scolded by countless people and called a liar.
What can we rely on to inherit the essence of our country?
By mouth?
This world has never been about survival of the fittest, but it must be about survival of the fittest.
Those who are unfit can only be eliminated!
Therefore, Chinese medicine is just like the hundreds of schools of thought after they deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. It was pushed into a corner.
Are the various schools of thought lagging behind Confucianism? Are the various schools of thought inferior to Confucianism?
no!
It’s just that the rulers need a tool, and this tool is not them!
So, as time went by, layers of dust buried them, and it was not until descendants were cleaning the room thousands of years later that they were discovered in the corner.
It turns out that Chinese medicine also existed!
It turns out that hundreds of schools of thought have existed!
"Not only that, I also plan to summon all the doctors in Zhao State to compile a medical masterpiece and leave it to future generations. All doctors participating in the compilation will be able to leave their names in the medical book. I originally wanted to ask Mr. Song Zhong to serve as the
Chief writer, Mr. Song strongly recommends you."
The road to hegemony is not just about fighting and killing, Zhao Kuo must eventually leave some wealth for future generations.
Even if traditional Chinese medicine is eliminated in the future, Zhao Kuo can proudly say: "It once stood at the top of world medicine."
"Teacher." The medicine boy behind him tugged on Xiangzi's sleeve and whispered.
"Okay, I agree to stay in Handan."
…
"Your Majesty, all the rewards and letters have been sent out." As soon as Zhao Kuo returned to the palace, Yu Xin and Chu Long rushed over.
"Send someone to keep an eye on it. All rewards and letters must be delivered safely to each soldier's home. No letter is missing a grain of rice." Zhao Kuo warned.
Considering that it might take another month or two for the soldiers to return home, Zhao Kuo ordered all the soldiers to write letters home and send them to their homes together with their rewards.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will keep an eye on you personally." Yu Xin said with his hand in hand.
"Yeah." Zhao Kuo nodded, he still believed in Yu Xin.
Moreover, although Yu Xin is about the same age as Lin Xiangru, his body is extremely strong, and it will not be a problem for him to continue to shine for Zhao for decades.
"Your Majesty, the five kingdoms of Qin, Han, Wei, Qi and Yan have formed an alliance and sent troops." At this time, Liu Ping rushed in from outside with the information.
"Didn't Chu come?" Zhao Kuo was not surprised that Qin, Han, Wei, Qi and Yan formed an alliance, but he was a little surprised that Chu did not join.
"The East Vietnamese and South Vietnamese rebels in Chu State are in the process of sending troops to suppress them, and they have no time to take care of our country." Liu Ping said.
"This is a good thing for our country, Zhao." Zhao Kuo said happily, "Immediately summon everyone to discuss the matter."
"promise."
Soon, all the officials in Handan rushed to the main hall.
Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice: "There is an urgent report from the front line. The five kingdoms of Qin, Han, Wei, Qi and Yan have formed an alliance, with Wei as the leader. Qin has Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, as its general and has sent 100,000 troops. South Korea has Bao Yuan as its general and has sent 100,000 troops.
, the State of Wei appointed Jin Bi as its general and sent one hundred thousand troops."
"The State of Yan, with Prime Minister Li Fu as its general, sent 250,000 troops. The State of Qi, with its clan member Tian Sheng as its general, sent 250,000 troops. The five countries have a total of 800,000 troops to attack our Zhao State. Counting the time, it should be now
We have arrived at the border of our country. What do you think?"
Although he had been prepared for it, Zhao Kuo was still worried when he learned that the five countries had dispatched 800,000 coalition troops. Except for the army guarding the Great Wall in the north, Zhao Kuo could only move less than 300,000 troops!
"This is a disaster for our Zhao country, but it is also an opportunity. If we can defeat the five countries, no country in the world will be our Zhao country's opponent in the future." Zhao Bao said with some excitement.
"Are the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Qin integrated into one place or separated?" Le Yi asked immediately.
Bai Qi commanded an army of three hundred thousand from the Three Kingdoms, and Bai Qi commanded a hundred thousand troops, Bao Yuan commanded a hundred thousand troops, and Jin Bi commanded a hundred thousand troops. They are two completely different concepts.
"We don't know yet." Liu Ping shook his head.
"Report, report to the party urgently." At this time, the guard led a soldier and walked in quickly from outside the main hall. When he saw Zhao Kuo, the soldier quickly knelt down on one knee and reported.
"Nian." Zhao Kuo said.
"Bai Qi of the Qin State commanded an army of 100,000 to attack Shangdang again and asked for support. - Shangdang is guarding Fengting." the soldier read.
"It seems that Qin State has not merged with Han and Wei." Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief.
If Bai Qi commanded an army of 300,000 to attack Zhao from Hanoi, then Zhao would have only one way to trade space for time, and this method may not be effective because Yan is still attacking from behind.
Now the troops are not united, and Bai Qi is fighting Shangdang, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This is a good thing for Zhao.
"It seems that South Korea and Wei don't trust Qin." Tian Dan said with a smile.
"If Qin fails to attack Shangdang for a long time, it is very likely that it will turn around and attack Wei Hedong. I think we need to remind Wei that although Wei has violated the alliance between the two countries, Zhao is not a grudge-bearing person."
Qi tapped his fingers on the table and said meaningfully.
When Tian Dan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found a like-minded friend, he nodded and said, "What a great idea!"
"It is a good thing for Zhao that the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han are not united. However, after all, the five countries combined have 800,000 troops. It may be difficult for Zhao to defeat them." Chulong was very worried. He has never seen such a big battle. Even when the six countries conquered Qi, the total army did not amount to 800,000!
"Do you have any good ideas?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"I suggest that the troops be divided into four groups, three for defense, one for attack, and each one defeated." Le Yi said.
"Which country should be attacked first?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"The State of Yan. The State of Yan is the weakest, and the combat effectiveness of its soldiers is also the weakest. Although it has an army of 250,000, its actual combat effectiveness may not be as good as that of Qin's army of 100,000. It is the easiest to defeat among the five countries."
Le Yi pointed at the map and said, showing no mercy towards this old club, and he immediately exposed the weakness of Yan State.
"After defeating the State of Yan, he immediately led his army south and combined the defensive forces to attack the State of Qi. As long as the State of Yan and the State of Qi are defeated, the other three countries will naturally retreat."
"Who is willing to support the Shangdang and resist the Qin army?" Zhao Kuo asked in a deep voice, his eyes scanning the faces of everyone.
Every time it touched someone, that person lowered his head unconsciously.
Everyone knows that although the Qin army only has 100,000 soldiers, its generals can be slaughtered in vain!
No one can guarantee that they can stop Bai Qi.
"I wish to go." Just when Zhao Kuo was about to order his generals, Le Yi stood up and said with clasped fists.
"How many troops do you need, please?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"Thirty thousand is enough." Le Yi said solemnly.
Le Yi felt that it was impossible for Qin to attack Shangdang with all his strength. Coupled with the superior terrain, 30,000 soldiers were enough to stop the Qin army.
"Okay." Zhao Kuo said loudly, "Who is willing to support Yecheng and defend the Han and Wei coalition forces?"
"I would like to go." Tian Dan stood up immediately and said.
If he doesn't lead the army, he will arrive at the Qi State. If no one asks for his orders, Zhao Kuo will most likely ask him to resist the Qi State. Although Tian Dan has decided to sincerely surrender to the Zhao State, he is still unwilling to become an enemy of the Qi State.
"How many troops does Lord Duping need?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"Thirty thousand." Tian Dan quoted the same number as Le Yi.
"The combined forces of South Korea and Wei have 200,000 troops," Zhao Kuo reminded.
"The combined forces of Han and Wei are not as powerful as the Qin army, and they have a fortified city in Yecheng. Thirty thousand soldiers are enough." Tian Dan said confidently.
"General Lian Po is willing to resist the Qi army." Finally, Zhao Kuo looked at Lian Po.
"I am willing to go." Lian Po said with clasped fists.
"Okay, in that case, let Wang Zhujun lead an army of 30,000 to support the Shangdang. Lord Duping led an army of 30,000 to support Yecheng and defend the Han and Wei coalition forces. General Lian Po led an army of 70,000 to resist the Qi army. The rest of the people General, I and I will lead the remaining 100,000 troops to attack the State of Yan." Zhao Kuo ordered.
"No." All the generals said in unison.
"Food and grass will trouble the ministers. In addition, during the expedition, all affairs in the rear can be discussed and handled by the ministers. If there is a dispute, Yu Qing's opinion will prevail." Zhao Kuo bowed to the other ministers and bowed.
"I accept your orders." Yu Xin and others returned the greeting.
