Chapter 63: Cao Shuang wants to expose Sun Quans scars, leaving Sun Quan with eternal pain in his heart
The hot wind in July always makes people sweat. When it is hot, the sun in the sky seems to scorch everything on the ground before it stops. Although there is a cool breeze blowing from the river at Jingzhou Ferry in the afternoon, it still carries with it the same feeling as other places.
The same July heat…
Cao Shuang smiled and said: "He Zhonglang, Colonel Ding, please go slowly, I will send you here. After you two go back, please ask your father-in-law for me if you are okay.
After all, I am now his son-in-law, so I still have to care about his body, even if it is for Dahu."
He Shao smiled and said: "I would like to thank the general for my majesty. The eldest princess is concerned. Although my majesty is old, his body is still very strong. He will definitely live a long life!"
He Shao and Ding Feng looked at each other and said, he understood that Cao Shuang was testing how long His Majesty's body could last.
He must have gotten some information from the school affairs office in Jianye, so he asked this question, taking the opportunity to test the condition of his majesty's dragon body to determine the timing of riding to the east of the Yangtze River.
Ding Feng said calmly: "Thank you, General, for caring about your Majesty's dragon body. Your Majesty is very well now. Before the general went on an envoy, your majesty even specially ordered the general to go hunting with him on horseback.
!”
Cao Shuang thought to himself that most of what these two people said were false. If his cheap father-in-law was really in good health, how could these two people be so artificial and full of traces of acting.
Cao Shuang said with a smile: "My father-in-law is in good health, so I can rest assured. Come and bring the things I prepared to the Soochow envoy to take back to my father-in-law to nourish his body!"
After Cao Shuang finished speaking, the attendant behind him carefully carried six long red sandalwood boxes and handed them to the soldiers behind He Shao and Ding Feng.
He Shao opened two of the long boxes in front of Cao Shuang and smiled: "This is a rare Codonopsis ginseng in a century-old condition, Liaodong ginseng! On behalf of your majesty, I would like to express my gratitude to the general for your kindness."
The earliest written record of ginseng comes from "Ji Ran", a work from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It contains the following text: "Ginseng came out of Shangdang, and those with humanoid shapes are good", which also proves that ginseng was first produced in Shangdang.
In the party area, it also shows that ginseng shaped like a human has better curative effect.
In addition, Xu Shen during the Eastern Han Dynasty recorded in "Shuowen Jiezi" that "ginseng herbal medicine came from Shangdang", and ginseng was written as "ginseng" in ancient times, which is a good confirmation that ancient ginseng came from Shangdang.
"Shen Nong's Materia Medica" records that ginseng: tastes sweet and slightly cold. It mainly nourishes the five internal organs, calms the spirit, calms the soul, relieves panic and palpitations, removes evil spirits, improves eyesight, makes people happy and improves intelligence. Long-term use can lighten the body and prolong life.
At that time, the efficacy of ginseng was already well understood, indicating that ginseng had been widely used at that time, otherwise there would not be such an accurate summary of experience.
Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wrote "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", which contained hundreds of prescriptions, many of which used ginseng, such as Xiaobuihu Decoction, Lizhong Decoction (also known as Ginseng Decoction), Baihu plus Ginseng Decoction, and Sini plus Ginseng Decoction.
Etc., ginseng is mainly used to fill deficient and damaged body fluids, which is obviously different from the use of ginseng in later generations.
The surface of Codonopsis pilosula is yellowish-white to grayish-yellow, and the dense annular horizontal stripes under the roots often reach more than half of the total length. There are many cracks in the cross section. The bark is grayish white to light brown, and the wood is light yellow. It has a special smell and a slightly sweet taste.
The best ones are those with thick, thick roots, tight skin, many horizontal stripes and a beet flavor.
Liaodong ginseng is shaped like a human body, with thin and deep horizontal rings on the upper end, slender rhizomes, dense reed bowls, sparse fibrous roots, and obvious wart-like protrusions, also called pearl spots. The skin is thin and smooth, and the taste is sweet and slightly bitter.
.
Cao Shuang said calmly: "This is all my wish, and this Shangdang, Liaodong is my land of Wei, so I can still do it by giving some local specialties to my father-in-law."
He Shao thought to himself that taking out the Codonopsis ginseng could be understood as Cao Shuang's filial piety to His Majesty, his father-in-law, but taking out the Liaodong ginseng was not done with good intentions.
It is equivalent to taking out His Majesty's persistence in Liaodong over the years, but has always failed to do it. Isn't this because his father-in-law is not in good health?
The "evil relationship" between Sun Quan and Liaodong began in the Jian'an period. From the Jian'an period to the fourth year of Qinglong (AD 236), Sun Quan sent envoys to the Liaodong area six times to establish good relations. He was very active. Firstly, he was so active.
Territory, the second is also for war horses.
However, although Sun Quan was extremely enthusiastic about making peace with Liaodong, the Gongsun family did not appreciate it very much.
When Sun Quan sent an envoy to Liaodong for the first time, the Gongsun family was still in power at that time, Gongsun Yuan's father, Gongsun Kang.
In order to show goodwill to Wei, Gongsun Kang chopped off the envoys neatly, and Sun Quan's hot face was firmly attached to his cold buttocks.
The envoy was killed, and Sun Quan was naturally very angry. But strangely, a few years later, Sun Quan seemed to have completely forgotten about this incident, and began to send envoys to Liaodong one after another.
Sun Quan's enthusiasm made these envoys suffer. Not only did they have to endure the bumpy sea route, but they were also in danger of losing their heads at any time.
In December of the first year of Qinglong, Sun Quan sent ministers to the Gongsun family for the fourth time. The envoys at the head were Taichang Zhang Mi, Jinwu Xu Yan and other senior officials, leading a team of tens of thousands of people and nine gifts to Gongsun Yuan.
There are tin ceremonial guards, as well as countless gold, silver and goods, which can be said to be unprecedented in scale.
But when the envoy finally arrived in Liaodong, Gongsun Yuan, who had been very respectful before, suddenly turned against the pressure of Wei and sent a large army to make dumplings for the Soochow envoy. Only a few envoys such as Qin Dan were lucky.
He fled to Goguryeo and returned to Soochow after a narrow escape.
Gongsun Yuan beheaded Zhang Mi and Xu Yan, the envoys sent by Sun Quan, and sent them to Luoyang. As a result, Gongsun Yuan was granted the title of Grand Sima and Duke of Lelang by Cao Wei.
Gongsun was also well aware of Sun Quan's intention. He knew what Sun Quan wanted, so he kept Sun Quan's fingers firmly in mind.
Sun Quan's bottom line was to grasp the key point of Soochow.
In the second year of Jingchu in Cao Wei (AD 238), the Gongsun regime that had been in Liaodong for fifty years finally ushered in its end.

In this year, Sima Yi, who succeeded in killing Zhuge Liang, his greatest enemy in his life, finally got out of the Guanzhong area and marched northward on the orders of Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui.
Together with Guan Qiujian and other famous generals, they headed straight for Liaodong.
Gongsun Yuan was the first to think of asking Sun Quan for help. Logically speaking, after suffering such a big loss, Sun Quan should hate Gongsun Yuan to the bone. But Sun Quan really wanted the territory and war horses in Liaodong so much, so he
Able to endure things that ordinary people cannot endure.
When Gongsun Yuan sent people to Soochow to ask for help, although Zhang Zhao and other important officials in the Soochow Dynasty wrote letters asking for revenge by killing the envoys, and even built a mud wall with Zhang Zhao to fight against him,
In this way, Sun Quan not only did not take the advice of the important ministers in the court, but also sent Yang Xi, Zheng Zhou, Sun Yi and others to lead an army thousands of miles to aid Liaodong. It can be said that "Gongsun abused me thousands of times, but I treated Gongsun like my first love."
However, by the time Sun Quan's army arrived in Liaodong, Gongsun's regime had already been crushed by Sima Yi's army.
But the army has already come out, and it cannot be in vain. Therefore, the Soochow army fought a battle with the Wei garrison in Liaodong and returned victorious, which can be regarded as a breath of bad breath for Gongsun Yuan who was under Jiuquan.
As Cao Wei pacified Liaodong, Sun Quan's massive efforts finally came to nothing.
Since then, Soochow, which lost the key chess piece to contain Cao Wei and the source of horses in the north, was no longer able to compete with Cao Wei for the world.
Separating Jiangnan became his only choice, and the land of Liaodong became a pain in Sun Quan's heart that would never be erased.
Now Cao Shuang sends Sun Quan Liaodong ginseng just to expose Sun Quan's scars. After all, Sun Quan is already so old. If he faints from anger, the hundred-year-old ginseng may not be able to save Sun Quan from the gate of hell...
