————————————————————————
At the end of October of the fourth year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu surrendered.
Since then, Nanyang County has been divided into two parts. From the north of Rang County, all belong to Cao Cao, accounting for two-thirds, about 26 counties. Nanyang County has a total of 37 counties, and Liu Biao sits on Rang County.
The 11 counties in the south only account for one-third of the area.
Zhang Xiu's surrender still caused a lot of turmoil.
Cao Cao's previous attack on Wancheng resulted in the death of a son and a nephew. However, he still accepted Zhang Xiu regardless of past grievances, showing his generosity in distinguishing between public and private affairs. Moreover, after Zhang Xiu's surrender, Cao Cao still used
Zhang Xiu was stationed in Nanyang and worshiped the prefect of Nanyang. Man Chong returned to Xudu and took over the post of Tingwei. Later, Cao Cao appointed Zhang Xiu as General Yangwu and stationed troops in Wancheng. He also asked his third son, Cao Zhi, to marry Zhang Xiu.
Cao Zhi's daughter was his wife. At this time, Cao Zhi was only seven years old. He had outstanding talents and was very popular with Mr. Cao. Zhang Xiu felt relieved because of this.
Zhang Xiu's surrender immediately disrupted Liu Biao's plan.
At this time, he went to Jingxiang from Huainan and asked Liu Biao to accept him.
After Liu Biao thought twice, he did not object. He even comforted Mi Zhu with gentle words and gave up Tangzi Township for Mi Zhu and his party to garrison.
At the same time, Liu Biao also asked Mi Zhu to try to contact Liu Bei.
In the letter, he confessed: You and I are both members of the Han clan and should support each other.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, the Han Dynasty is weak, and there are traitors who are disrupting the government. Therefore, Xuande is asked to come to Jingzhou to help out of consideration for the clan...
This was a variable that Liu Bei could not predict.
When he was in Runan, he never expected that Zhang Xiu would submit to Cao Cao.
Now that Zhang Xiu has surrendered, there is an additional barrier to the south of Xudu, and at the same time, the gateway to Jingxiang has been opened. Cao Cao can attack Jingzhou at any time.
Liu Biao needed a guard dog, so he thought of Liu Bei.
If Zhang Xiu had not surrendered to Cao Cao, Liu Biao would definitely not accept Liu Bei. But even if he was willing now, it seemed that it was too late.
Liu Bei has arrived at Yecheng from Qingzhou and is highly regarded by Yuan Shao.
And Yuan Shao is about to attack Cao Cao, and Liu Bei will not leave Yuan Shao easily...
In short, the situation seems to have become complicated.
Cao Cao immediately started the final round of arrangements in Xudu, and ordered Zang Ba to send troops to Dongping and Beihai counties. The purpose was to contain Yuan Tan and prevent Yuan Tan from acting rashly. On both sides of the river, the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger, and both sides
The situation is about to break out.
——————————————————————————————
In November, Qiao County ushered in the first snowfall in the fourth year of Jian’an.
The snow was not too heavy, but the combination of rain and snow made the temperature suddenly become extremely cold.
Cao Peng followed Cao Ji to Qiao County and wanted to return to his clan and recognize his ancestors. However, it is not a simple matter to return to his clan and recognize his ancestors. The ancients valued clans so much that Cao Peng, a man from later generations, could not imagine it. It must be done
Comparison of generations, birth dates, experiences, and past events. Only when each generation on the genealogy is clearly identified can the first step of returning to the clan be passed.
Afterwards, the clan would also interrogate Cao Ji about his past experiences.
When everything is confirmed, choose an auspicious day to return to your clan and recognize your ancestors.
This is the result of Mr. Cao's supervision, otherwise it will take more time. Cao Peng is not too anxious. Anyway, Xu Du has nothing important to do. He can relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery of Qiao County.
Cao Ji visits the clan leaders to build closer relationships.
How old is the Cao family?
Very big!
Counting from Cao Teng's generation, there are three branches.
In Cao's generation, there were more than a dozen clans, that is, direct descendants. There were also more than a dozen other subdivisions. The entire Cao clan added up, and there were more than 100 children with the surname Cao alone.
Thousands of people, not to mention the intricate relatives.
The Cao family and the Xiahou family have an extremely close relationship.
At the same time, it also has a close relationship with another large local clan, the Hua family.
The Hua family is not very prominent now, and its clan is not local to Qiao County and belongs to outsiders. However, it has been rooted in Qiao County for many years, and its history even exceeds that of the Cao family and Xiahou family. The Hua clan's clan house is in Qiao County.
The most famous person in Gaotang County, Pingyuan County, is Hua Xin, Hua Ziyu, the former governor of Yuzhang and now a guest minister in Sun Ce's house. However, the relationship has become somewhat estranged.
, had already severed contact with him.
The Hua family in Qiao County is mainly engaged in medicine and business, and the clan has nearly a thousand people.
It doesn't sound bad, but when compared with Cao and Xiahou, it's obviously far behind.
"You said Hua Tuo is a member of the Hua clan?"
Cao Peng asked in surprise.
In front of him was a young man named Cao Rong.
He was also a clan brother, responsible for receiving Cao Ji and Cao Peng and his son. The two sat in the restaurant and chatted about the customs and customs of Qiao County. Their words unknowingly related to the local prominent families.
As a famous family, it is natural to mention the Hua family in Qiao County.
"Yes, that old man is extremely skilled in medicine.
Two years ago, my grandma fell ill, and it was the old man who took care of her. But he was away from home all year round, traveling around, and didn't often stay at home.
But after returning from Nirvana a few years ago, I never left the house again.
I heard someone say that he was compiling some kind of medical book at home, closed the door all day long, and saw no one. The old man has a very weird temper, so what kind of medical book is he going to write? With his ability, it must be a good idea to open a medical clinic in Qiao County.
The business was booming, but he had a bad temper and relied on the tribe's financial support. Some time ago, I heard that he had offended the adults in the tribe, so he deliberately cut off his family's monthly routine..."
"So, Hua Tuo's family is not well off?"
"It's not just bad, it's very bad."
Cao Peng couldn't help but feel moved.
He waved to Xia Houlan and said, "Take my name and go to Washington to tell Hua Tuo if he is willing to serve as the imperial physician of the Shaofu. If he is willing, he can browse the medical books collected by the Shaofu at will...
...In addition, tell him that Zhang Ji will go to Xudu."
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the status of doctors was not very high.
In the imperial court, there were two imperial hospitals.
One is under Taichang, who is responsible for medical treatment for the poor. The Huichun Medical Center in Xudu is under Taichang. Without permission from the imperial physician under Taichang, Xiao Kun cannot practice medicine. The current imperial physician under Taichang,
He is a student of Dong Xiao and Zhang Zhongjing.
He was imprisoned by Cao Peng, and he was awarded the imperial title for curing Guo Jia's disease.
He has been in Xudu for three years now. Later, he was recommended by Xun Yu to Taichang Tai Hospital and served as imperial physician. Overall, he did a good job.
The other imperial hospital belongs to Shaofu.
Specifically targeted at the royal court and the dignitaries in the court...
The medical books left by the past dynasties are all hidden in the Shaofu Imperial Hospital, and ordinary people cannot read them at all.
Shaofu Tai Hospital is much more relaxed than Taichang Tai Hospital, and the benefits are better than Taichang Tai Hospital. However, the responsibilities are more important.
The previous imperial physician of the Shaofu was named Ji Ping.
Because he was implicated in the Belt Edict case, he was executed by everyone in his family.
After Ji Ping's death, the Shaofu Imperial Physician's Order became vacant. Not just anyone can hold this position. Not only must he have excellent medical skills, but also someone must come forward to vouch for it. Being an Imperial Physician can be said to be the highest level of a doctor. Previously,
, someone once recommended Zhang Ji, but was rejected by Zhang Zhongjing. The Imperial Physician of the Shaofu ordered that the official rank was six hundred dan; and Zhang Ji was once the prefect of Changsha, which was the official rank of two thousand dan. You want a prefect who once received two thousand dan
, wouldn’t it be demeaning to come back and make a six-hundred-stone imperial doctor’s order?
Moreover, Zhang Ji did not lack this, so he ultimately failed to come to take up the post.
It is also for this reason that the imperial doctor's order from the Shaofu Palace is pending.
Cao Peng is the person who knows these things best. Before he left Xudu, Shaofu Liu Ye and Cao Ji accidentally mentioned...
Hua Tuo!
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing and Dong Feng, who is unknown where he is now and whether he has been born, were known as the three miracle doctors with superb medical skills. Zhang Zhongjing was famous for his treatment of typhoid fever; Dong Feng was known as the miracle doctor of Xinglin. But
The most famous one is Hua Tuo. Unlike Zhang Zhongjing, he traveled all over the world and cured many strange and difficult diseases with extremely weird methods.
He once wrote "Qing Nang Shu", but he burned it for some reason.
A "Zhongzangshu" was circulated in later generations, but it is said that it was not written by Hua Tuo... In the history of traditional Chinese medicine, it can be said to be a huge loss.
History books say that Hua Tuo was killed by Cao Cao because he was unwilling to treat Cao Cao exclusively.
According to unofficial records, Cao Cao had a headache, so Hua Tuo offered advice on craniotomy, which led to Cao Cao being suspicious and eventually killed. But if Hua Tuo leaves the most profound impression on people, it is the story of Guan Yunchang scraping bones to cure poison.
When Cao Peng was young, he loved this plot very much.
Later he learned that Hua Tuo created Wuqinxi, which is said to be the originator of Chinese Xiangtong boxing.
It’s just that no one knows whether the Wu Qin Xi of later generations is truly passed down...
When Cao Peng first heard Cao Rong talking about Hua Tuo, he couldn't help but make some speculations in his heart.
In these days, getting a good doctor is undoubtedly the best way to save your life.
It would be a good idea if Hua Tuo could be kept here. At least in the future, Mr. Cao would not kill Hua Tuo out of suspicion.
The Imperial Physician's Order should be a good choice for Hua Tuo...
"Youxue, do you want to appoint Hua Tuo as the imperial physician?"
"yes."
"You..." Cao Rong saw that there was no one around and said softly: "You'd better think twice before doing anything about this matter. This Hua Tuo... how should I put it, is quite weird. Someone once saw him stealing corpses and...
He was punished by the government. If you rashly sent him to the Imperial Hospital, if something happened, he would probably get you into trouble. This man has a lot of problems, and many of them are weird..."
"Stealing corpses?"
"Yeah... This matter was quite a big deal at the time, and I was very supportive of my father mentioning it.
When Hua Tuo was only thirty years old, one night he secretly went to a tomb, dug up the tomb, and stole the body... It is said that this guy likes to eat dead human flesh, so he stole the body. When the government arrested him
, several corpses were found in his house, with all the flesh and blood gone, leaving only the white bones. When asked where the flesh and blood went, he couldn't give a clue..."
"Is there such a thing?"
Cao Peng shuddered and showed hesitation.
"Then what did he say then?"
"My father was working in the government office at the time and had heard his confession.
Hua Yuanhua said that he dug up the corpses to investigate the cause of death and explore the symptoms. Anyway, no one was willing to believe this.
Later, he was an uncle of his clan who paid for his crime and escaped jail. Later, he couldn't stay in Qiao County anymore, so he left home and traveled around. When he came back more than ten years later, his medical skills had changed.
He is much smarter, but this person has become even weirder."
anatomy!
A thought suddenly flashed through Cao Peng's mind.
In later generations, there was also a saying that Hua Tuo was the ancestor of anatomy.
Guan Yunchang's scraping of bones to cure poison, and his craniotomy to cure Cao Cao's illness all seemed to involve the principles of anatomy.
So, the reason why Hua Tuo dissected the corpse is quite reasonable. Which medical student in later generations has not experienced this kind of thing?
After hearing Cao Rong's explanation, Cao Peng not only did not shrink back, but also strengthened his idea of saving Hua Tuo.
***Cao must know Hua Tuo!
Not only do the two come from the same hometown, but their age gap is not particularly large either.
The reason why Cao Cao refused to believe Hua Tuo was largely due to Hua Tuo's misdeeds in his early years.
After thinking about it, Cao Peng stood up suddenly and said to Cao Rong: "Brother, I want to visit Hua Tuo in person, but I don't know if eldest brother would be willing to lead the way?"
"ah?"
"You don't understand... When I was learning to read with an alchemist, the alchemist once said to me: The human body is the most wonderful structure. If you can't observe it intuitively and truly, it will be difficult to grasp the truth.
...I think Hua Tuo's purpose in stealing corpses was to understand the body structure so that he could more clearly find the root cause of the disease...
This is an incredible talent. If you let him go, you may regret it in the future."
If Cao Peng were an ordinary person, his words might be regarded as a madman.
But he is the famous 'Cao Babai', a disciple of Mr. Wolong Kongming. In other words, what he said is like the comments of experts and professors in the eyes of ordinary people. This is the importance of fame. With fame,
No matter what you say, someone will believe it.
"Is there such a thing?"
Cao Rong couldn't help being extremely surprised. He quickly got up and led Cao Peng out of the restaurant.
Hua Tuo did not live in Qiao County, but in the suburbs.
Because Hua Tuo had a bad reputation, no one wanted to be his neighbor. So Hua Tuo lived alone by the water, surrounded by deserted people. A small courtyard looked dilapidated and deserted.
, which makes people feel frightened.
Cao Rong took Cao Peng and knocked on the firewood door.
After a while, a wealthy family member came out and said with dim eyes, "Who are you looking for?"
"May I ask, is this Mr. Hua Tuohua's home?"
"yes."
"I am Cao Peng, a son of the surname Cao from Qiao County. I am the Lieutenant Commander of the Northern Army. I would like to pay a special visit to you sir."
"My master told me not to see anyone."
When Cao Rong heard this, he suddenly became furious, "You..."
Cao Peng grabbed Cao Rong, looked at the old man, and suddenly laughed.
"I know that Mr. Hua has suffered a lot of grievances, and he is not understood by the world.
However, I have something to say, please bring it to Mr. Hua. Please tell Mr. Hua that I understand what he is doing. Anatomy of a corpse is not a monster, but a good thing that benefits the people. Some things, since they have been done, please
He persisted to the end... Although Bu Cai was only a lieutenant in the Northern Army, he was willing to vouch for Mr. Hua and recommended him as the Imperial Physician of the Shaofu, giving him access to all the books in the Shaofu.
If he is still willing to persist, I will try to get enough corpses for him to continue his research.
In short, I can understand what Mr. Hua did. But if he gave up halfway and became depressed, then I have nothing to say...
I will stay in Qiao County for a while. If Mr. Hua figures it out, he can come to me at any time. I live in the official post next to the county government... If others don't understand, it doesn't mean they can give up; if others misunderstand, it doesn't mean they can give up.
This is not a reason to be depressed. Please take care of yourself, Mr. Hua."
After that, Cao Peng took Cao Rong away.
"Youxue, are you really willing to get his body for him?"
Cao Rong shuddered and asked softly.
Cao Peng nodded lightly, "If he is willing to continue, I will do everything possible to prepare a body for him."
"Crazy, really crazy!"
Cao Rong shook his head gently.
He was willing to believe Cao Peng, but he still didn't understand what he was doing.
It would be better for you to be less involved in this kind of thing...
————————————————————————————
In the middle of November of the fourth year of Jian'an, a piece of propaganda suddenly spread all over the country.
Gai Wenming's master wanted to control the situation through danger, and loyal ministers were worried that it would be difficult to establish power. Therefore, if there are extraordinary people, extraordinary things will happen; if there are extraordinary things, extraordinary achievements will be made.
…
And then the emperor took over the capital to be domineering, do all kinds of evil, cut off Yuanyuan, destroy the good and harm the good.
Therefore, the governor of Jiujiang gave way to the throne. He was a talented person and was well-known in the world. He was outspoken and honest and never flattered. His body and head were hanged by an owl and executed.
…
The emperor set his sights and dedicated himself to coercion and eviction, and was responsible for the provincial government's ban.
I humbly regretted the royal family, corrupted the law and discipline, sat in charge of three platforms, controlled the government, rewarded people with honors, and slaughtered them with my mouth. I loved the five sects, and hated the three tribes. Those who talked in the group were punished, and they were discussed in secret.
Those who were hidden were slaughtered, the roads were visible, the ministers were still in court, and the ministers were regarded as members...
…
The person who wins the first prize will be granted the title of 5,000 households and a reward of 50 million yuan.
Don't ask any questions about those who surrendered to the generals and officials in Buqu. The generals should be kind and trustworthy, and the banyans should be praised and rewarded. Announcements should be made to the world, and the envoys should be aware of the difficulty of being detained by the imperial dynasty.
Just like the law!
The person who wrote this memorandum is named Chen Lin, courtesy name Kong Zhang, and is from Guangling, Xuzhou.
He Jin was once the chief secretary of the great general He Jin. He Jin wanted to kill the ten regular servants and summoned powerful generals from all directions to lead troops to the capital to intimidate the Queen Mother. Chen Qun opposed it at that time, but He Jin could not take it. Later He Jin died, and Chen Qun
Lin took refuge in Jizhou and attached herself to Yuan Shao, where she took charge of the canon and articles.
This piece of propaganda against thieves was written by Chen Lin under the orders of Yuan Shao.
It was near the end of the year, and Mr. Cao was bedridden due to a headache. After reading the memorandum, he broke out in a cold sweat and rolled over from the bed.
Yuan Shao, you are going to start a war with me!
Although Cao Cao had already prepared for war, he still felt a little panic when the war started.
He quickly called Guo Jia over and said, "Fengxiao, Yuan Shao's message, have you ever read it?"
Guo Jiadao: "Jia has read it."
"What do you think of Fengxiao?"
"Yuan Shao has decided to start a war, probably at the end of the year.
However, the lord does not need to care about Yuan Shao. The lord will fight Yuan Benchu sooner or later. This is what we have expected. Now, Yuan Shao pretends to be a million-strong army, but there is nothing to be afraid of. The lord can use Zang Ba to contain Yuan Tan; Ling Wen
Sitting far away in Hanoi and containing the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou, we can cut off Yuan Shao's two wings. However, Yuan Shao's actual available troops are estimated to be only more than 100,000, so the lord can rest assured.
However, Yuan Shao has nothing to fear.
The person Jia is worried about is the little overlord from Jiangdong."
"The Sun family lion is evil?"
"Exactly!" A cold light flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, "Sun Ce now dominates the six counties in Jiangdong, and his strength has greatly increased. He has Zhang Zibu in literature, Zhou Gongjin in military affairs, and even Cheng Pu, Huang, Gai Handang and other Jiangdong veterans. If Yuan Shao
Combined with him, he praised the conquest of Xuzhou, which would definitely lead to disaster.
My lord, I think that what you arranged last year can be carried out.
As long as Sun Bofu is removed, Jiangdong will be in chaos... At that time, the lord will be able to challenge Yuan Shao with all his strength and defeat him in one fell swoop..."
Mr. Cao's eyes flashed, as if he was saying to himself: "Jiangdong Lion is really someone's innermost concern."
When Guo Jia heard this, he immediately laughed...
