After the 15th day of the lunar month, the weather is getting warmer, and as far as the eye can see, the mountains are full of pink.
Zhang Zhongjing was sitting under the peach blossoms in the garden, thinking hard and writing a medical book. The title of the book was "Treatise on Febrile Diseases". He had such an idea as early as when he was the governor of Changsha. After experiencing the disaster of Nanyang Plague,
He could finally relax and write this medical masterpiece, which would have a huge influence on the history of medicine in later generations. But obviously, this was not an easy task.
The old butler Mao Bo came forward with his body hunched.
"Master, Huang She is gone!"
Zhang Zhongjing's pen trembled and he raised his head.
"So, the Cao family's son really kidnapped his parents?"
Mao Bo said: "It should be a success! Yesterday, the whole city of Jiyang County was under martial law, and local braves came out everywhere, which is enough to explain all the problems. Just now, the uncle came over and said that Mr. Pang De went to Xiangyang to question Liu Jingzhou face to face, which made Liu Jingzhou this New Year.
It’s not a comfortable life either.”
Zhang Zhongjing laughed after hearing this!
He is a doctor, but he is also an official.
His keen political sense allowed him to immediately grasp the key here.
Previously, the reason why he took Deng Ji in and even helped Cao Peng was out of his original intention as a doctor and also because of a promise he had made. When Huang Yueying left Niyang, she asked him to take care of Cao Peng and even stayed behind.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Huang Yueying left, Huang She transferred him to Xiangyang. Liu Biao's wife was not seriously injured, so Zhang Zhongjing solved the problem easily. However, when he returned to Niyang,
But I heard that Cao Peng followed his brother-in-law to Jiunu City to apply for the army.
Then, the sunset gathering incident happened...
The Niyang Zhang family may not be considered a powerful family, but they are also a local wealthy family.
Zhang Zhongjing even served as the governor of Changsha with a rank of two thousand shi. How could he not understand the mystery of this?
To put it bluntly, it was nothing more than the so-called aristocratic family's reputation. Huang She's plot against Cao Peng was not a big deal from the aristocratic family's perspective.
But his subsequent killing methods made Zhang Zhongjing very dissatisfied.
Therefore, Zhang Zhongjing came to help Cao Peng, but from beginning to end, he never met Cao Peng.
Zhang Zhongjing did not even send Huang Yueying's letter to Cao Peng. In his opinion, it was better not to send this letter to avoid further entanglements in the future. After all, Cao Peng and Huang Yueying were from two different worlds no matter what.
...In his heart, Zhang Zhongjing still had some bias towards Huang She. The doctors were compassionate, but the power of the family members was definitely not something that people like Zhang Zhongjing could resist.
Mao Bo said: "I heard that the Cao family mobilized a lot of force to rob people this time."
"oh?"
"The news I got from you is that there were nearly a hundred casualties in the Jiunu City camp... It is said that Chen Jiu, a general of the Huang family in Jiangxia, once led his troops to chase, but was tricked by the opponent and lost more than 20 cavalry.
Jun didn't say anything, he didn't even see the other party's shadow..."
Zhang Zhongjing put down the pen in his hand.
"It seems that there is someone helping behind the Cao family's child?"
"I'm not sure, but according to the information I got from you, the person next to the Cao family's son seems to be Dian Wei, the captain of Wu Meng under Cao Gong's account."
Zhang Zhongjing's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light.
"Dian Wei? Isn't he dead?"
"Zhang Xiu said that, but you can't see anyone alive or dead, so maybe Dian Wei is not dead?"
Mao Bo spoke softly, Zhang Zhongjing sighed, picked up the pen, thought for a while and asked: "Why do you think Pang Degong stood up for Cao Peng?"
"I can't explain this clearly."
"You have also had contact with Cao Peng. How do you feel about this person?"
Mao Bo tilted his head, thought for a while and said: "I didn't say a few words to him, but he seemed to have practiced some magic skills, and I don't know which old god he learned from. He did want to talk to me a few times.
But due to other reasons, I have never been able to really get in touch with it.
Based on my observation of him, this child is unremarkable, and there is nothing special about him. Usually, his brother-in-law Deng Ji comes forward more... That Deng Ji is a capable person, but he seems to have little regard for the child.
I attach great importance to him, sometimes even focusing on the child. I went to Jiyang to inquire about him before, but Jiyang could not explain the situation clearly. They only said that Kuai Zheng was very affectionate to him...
Master, his surname is Cao, and Mr. Cao is also surnamed Cao... Do you think the two Cao's are one Cao?"
Zhang Zhongjing fell into deep thought.
"Lao Mao, can you still contact your former Taoist friends?"
Mao Bo said: "We can contact him, but Five Pecks of Rice is limited to the southwest. I'm afraid we may not be able to find out anything else."
"Try it!" Zhang Zhongjing said: "If the person following the Cao family's son is really Dian Wei, then he will definitely go to Xudu. Although Wancheng was defeated this time, Cao Gong's vitality was not damaged. He served the emperor to order the princes,
With the name of great righteousness, he will surely take Wancheng again sooner or later. I think Cao Gong is also a man who does great things and deserves attention. How about this, you find a way to contact Ma Zhen and ask him to go to Xudu."
"But Ma Zhen has just established a foothold in Hebei..."
Zhang Zhongjing thought for a while, "Indeed, it would be a pity to give up at this time. It's just that among the children of the Zhang family, it seems difficult to make great achievements, otherwise... why not... go and talk to your eldest brother, if it really doesn't work, just
Let Boyang go and see the situation."
Zhang Zhongjing is a doctor, but he also represents the Nirvana Zhang family.
The things he has to consider are not only medical, but also include some political issues. Not putting all eggs in one basket is not only a method often used by family members, but also by local wealthy families like Zhang Zhongjing.
Out of choice.
Zhang Zhongjing said: "It's not my fault that I can't leave now because I am compiling medical skills. Otherwise, I will go to Xudu myself..."
Mao Bo smiled but did not respond.
When he saw Zhang Zhongjing lowering his head again and continuing to immerse himself in medical skills, he hunched over and quietly stepped back.
Now that I have mastered the magic of immortality, maybe...
He scratched his gray hair, and a strange smile appeared on his face: It seems that it is time to contact the old brothers.
Ah sneeze!
Cao Peng was sitting on the horse and suddenly sneezed.
"Afu, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Cao Peng rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Why is it uncomfortable? I guess who is scolding me."
Wang Mai immediately laughed, and lightly knocked the horse's belly with his feet. The horse took two steps and came to Cao Peng's side, "Ah Fu, how is Xu Du?"
"Well, I've never been there, how would I know?"
"I wonder if it is bigger than Wancheng? Haha, I have grown up and have never been to such a big place. My father and I have been to Wuyin County twice before. There are so many people... I don't know about Xu Du
Are there more people than Wuyin?" Wang Mai had a look of admiration on his face, and there was a hint of expectation in his words. Perhaps, for every child who comes out of a small city, Imperial City is a place full of hope.
Place.
Cao Peng doesn't have any special feelings... No matter how prosperous Xudu is, can it be more prosperous than the cities of later generations?
However, he will not destroy Wang Mai's dream. Fourteen or fifteen years old is not the age for dreaming...
"Daxiong, what do you want to do when you arrive in Xudu?"
Wang Mai suddenly turned around and asked loudly.
Deng Fan was not very good at riding, so he accompanied his father, Deng Juye, on the carriage.
Deng Fan said: "I just want to be rich and buy a big house in Xudu so that my father and mother can live there comfortably... Well, it's bigger than my uncle's house."
My uncle is Deng Ji’s father, the patriarch of Deng Village, a cunning, cunning, but timid old guy.
After listening to Deng Fan's words, Deng Juye couldn't help but laugh.
Because from Deng Fan's answer, he felt his son's deep filial piety.
Cao Peng smiled and urged his horse to catch up with Dian Wei.
"Uncle Dian, how long will it take for us to reach this point?"
Dian Wei pointed forward with his hand, "Going around the mountain in front, we are under the rule of Lang Ling. When we reach Lang Ling, we are basically home!"
Five days have passed since I left Laojun Temple.
During the five days, everyone traveled and stayed overnight, and the journey was relatively smooth.
Huang She did not continue to send troops to chase, so everyone gradually relaxed. Walking by the Bishui River, you can see the willows green and full of spring.
From Jiyang to Queshan, it passes right between Biyang and Wuyin counties.
Cao Cao withdrew from Nanyang County, and Zhang Xiu regained Wuyin. In order to make up for the previous rift with Liu Biao, the two sides decided to establish no checkpoints between the two counties.
Has the relationship been repaired?
God knows!
However, this made it easier for Cao Peng and others, as they had an unimpeded journey all the way down.
Langling has a very long history. In later generations, it was also called Queshan County, which was under the jurisdiction of Zhumadian City, Henan Province. As early as ancient times, there were human activities here. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the north of Langling was Daoguo, and the southeast was
Jiang State. In the fourth year of Emperor Gaodi's reign in the Western Han Dynasty, Langling was established and placed under the jurisdiction of Runan County.
Speaking of Langling, the most famous one is Langling can wine.
According to legend, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, visited Langling while he was ill. He drank the local wine and was so happy that he recovered from his illness and returned.
Since then, Langling can wine has become a very famous local product, and was even used as a tribute wine to the imperial court every year...
That was something that was passed down from the early Western Han Dynasty to BC.
Langling can wine is tribute wine, and it is true. However, in Langling County, this tribute wine can be seen everywhere. As soon as you enter Langling, you can smell the strong aroma of wine filling the air.
"To drink authentic Langling wine, you have to go to Dushan Lijia Shop." Perhaps it was because he had returned to his own territory. Dianwei seemed very excited along the way. Come to think of it, he escaped death and traveled most of Nanyang.
The county has finally returned to its own territory... It is safe and relaxed, and once back in Xudu, it can be reunited with its family! The joy in my heart is naturally beyond words.
"Don't see Langling wine flags hanging everywhere, they are all fake!
After I captured Langling with my lord last year, I traveled all over the county with Xu Laohu. If the locals hadn't told me, I would have been fooled."
Dian Wei laughed and said, "Wait a minute, I'll invite you to Li's shop for a drink."
Wang Meng, Cao Ji and Wei Yan all smiled and nodded.
Cao Peng suddenly reined in his horse, pointed forward and asked, "Uncle Dian, why is there a checkpoint in front of you?"
On a straight road leading to the county seat, a checkpoint was set up in the middle of the road. Cars, horses and pedestrians lined up on both sides...
Dian Wei frowned and said to himself: "How come there is such an extra level here?"
