Guo Jia's words made the pottery merchant feel very depressed.
Although he knew that Cao Cao's rise was inevitable, Tao Shang felt uncomfortable.
Tao Shang looked at Guo Jia with determination, and suddenly protested: "He is also a famous scholar in Yingchuan, why can Xun Yu bring a steady stream of talents to Cao Cao, but you can't bring some to me?"
Guo Jia didn't look ashamed at all. He raised his head and took another sip of wine. He said cheerfully: "The only person Guo can control is myself. I don't have the background and reputation of Xun Yu.
He is the head of the Yingchuan gentry, so it is normal for people to listen to him... As for me? Hey, who of those celebrities in Yingchuan is willing to listen to Guo? You don't have to worry about me... I
I advise you to be kind to me recently, lest Xun Yu remembers one day that when he persuaded Guo to surrender to Cao Cao, I could not control my heartbeat."
Tao Shang couldn't help sighing after hearing this, and said regretfully: "Cao Cao's rise in Yanzhou has been so rapid. Has your school office recently investigated the composition of his current staff?"
Guo Jia proudly puffed up his chest and said: "Yanzhou is our close neighbor to Xuzhou, and such a big thing has happened recently. Guo will naturally find out the situation in Cao Cao's army and the main talents in it.
Why do you ask this?"
Tao Shang's face became a little nervous, and he whispered: "Can you tell me some of the people Cao Cao recently promoted in the army, or the cronies who helped him take charge of the Qingzhou Army... Can you remember their names?"
Guo Jia looked at the pottery merchant in confusion and said, "Guo can roughly remember the main figures in the army. The question is, if Guo mentions them, do you know them?"
"Don't worry about whether I recognize him or not, just say so."
Guo Jia didn't understand the pottery merchant's thoughts, but since he wanted to listen, he simply said so.
Guo Jia has a very smart mind and basically has a photographic memory of the information he has read.
The prodigal son cleared his throat and said slowly to the pottery merchant: "Now that Cao Cao has captured Qingzhou's population of one million, and with the support of his friend Zhang Miao and the Dongjun gentry Chen Gong, he has taken control of Yanzhou, and after Bao Xin's death
, Cao Cao also took over the army and annexed Liu Dai's troops, which greatly increased his military strength. With the help of Xun Yu from Yingchuan, there was no shortage of talents... As for the army, Cao Cao used his clan's descendants
Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun and others are assisting the army. I heard that Sima Zhao Chong under Zhang Miao has a brave subordinate named Dian Wei, who is now also under Cao Cao's account, as well as under Bao Xin.
Du Bo Yu Jin was also accepted by Cao Cao as a military commander. Li Qian, a hero of the Cheng family, led his nephew Li Dian and thousands of diners to help Cao Cao defeat the Yellow Turban Army in Shouzhang County, and he also belonged to him... Oh, by the way,
There is also Le Jin, the captain of Chen Dudu, who is also on duty under Cao Cao. I heard that he is quite capable..."
When he said this, Guo Jia laughed, waved his hand, and said: "They are all unworthy little people! Just listen to them and forget about it!"
Fuck your sister!
A humble little guy? Do you know what a luxurious lineup this is?
And maybe, his lineup will become even stronger in the future.
The pottery merchant buried his face deeply in his hands. Cao Cao now wanted to have troops and territory, and the talents under his command were constantly being recruited and organized.
Although he had his own help, Tao Qian did not become an enemy of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao this time, thus avoiding the first time that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao jointly sent troops to Xuzhou to massacre various counties. However, with such a strong neighbor by his side, sooner or later it would be a disaster.
Time waits for us.
Tao Shang pulled his face out of his palms and said with a sad expression: "Let the school affairs office closely monitor the movements of Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. The good days of Xuzhou and Danyang County are probably coming to an end."
Guo Jia did not refute the pottery merchant this time. Instead, he nodded solemnly and said, "Guo feels the same way."
…
…
Just when the pottery merchant was worried about the rapidly rising forces of Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, there were two people, one from the south and one from the north, a man and a woman, walking towards the direction of Jinling City.
The woman who came from the north was Mi Zhen, the sister of Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family in Xuzhou. This time, she was stationed in Jinling City on behalf of the Mi family under the order of her brother to discuss private salt export cooperation with Tao Shang.
Mi Zhu was still very smart. Taking advantage of this opportunity to cooperate in selling salt, he actually pushed the younger sister to Jinling City where the pottery merchant was located.
It's very obvious what this old boy wants to do.
It's really heartbreaking.
As for the other person, the potter had never seen him before, but he had definitely heard of his name.
This man is nearly middle-aged, just in his early forties. He has traveled thousands of miles from Nieyang County in Nanyang to come to Danyang County to meet someone.
The person he came to meet this time was none other than Tao Shang, the prefect of Danyang County.
The man who wanted to see the pottery merchant was named Zhang Ji, also named Zhongjing.
In fact, the two of them didn't know each other at all and had no friendship. They were not related to each other for several generations in the family.
But Zhang Ji must meet with the pottery merchant this time.
Because a few months ago, a doctor who returned from the north came up with a prescription in Nanyang called Guizhi Decoction.
The efficacy of this Guizhi Decoction is mainly for treating symptoms such as exogenous wind-cold, headache, fever, sweating and bad wind.
Very useful!
For a time, doctors in Nanyang County were arguing about this prescription one after another, and they were all surprised by the ingredients in the prescription. They all said that the person who could make this prescription was really a medical genius. For a time, Guizhi Decoction was popular for treating typhoid fever.
In the land of Han River, I didn’t know that this recipe has been widely spread in the Northland.
What is particularly interesting is that nowadays in the Central Plains and Sili areas, it is widely rumored that this recipe was not made by a medical practitioner, but by one of the princes who went to Luoyang to conquer Dong Zhuo on behalf of the Xuzhou governor and the current prefect of Danyang County, Tao Shang.
.
Zhang Ji was in Niyang and didn't pay much attention to this matter at first. Later, he heard that this prescription was widely praised among the Hanjiang medical practitioners. He couldn't help but be curious, so he sent someone to find the prescription for him.
Come and see.
Why are these people making so much noise?
After the prescription was brought, Ji Ran took a look and was shocked. Zhang Ji's eyes darkened and he almost lost his breath.
He hurriedly took out a recipe for treating typhoid fever that he had just painstakingly prepared last month to compare with it!
Putting the two prescriptions together, Zhang Ji's eyes almost popped out of his head.
These two soup recipes are almost identical!
There are occasionally some differences in the prescriptions made by doctors. If they are all due to differences in the dosage of medicines for patients with different constitutions, it is harmless. What is scary is that these two prescriptions are exactly the same in terms of dialectical selection of medicinal materials.
It should be noted that it is simply impossible for medical practitioners to create their own prescriptions, even if they are similar in pharmacological dialectics, but they must be consistent in the dosage of medication and general dialectics!
That all requires hands-on practice and personal tasting of the medicine.
How can anyone in the world have the same head and the same thoughts!
Such a thing is completely incomprehensible and unacceptable to Zhang Zhongjing.
He really couldn't understand that the universal recipe that he had finally developed to treat injuries after spending many years and trying countless medicinal materials could be figured out so easily by an unknown boy? And it was done with the same purpose.
Is your score correct?
Of course, Zhang Zhongjing's recipe has not yet been published. If it is said that the pottery merchant really copied his recipe, Zhang Zhongjing really can't provide evidence. Not to mention others who don't believe it, he wouldn't believe it either.
But the fact is right in front of us.
If in the future he is a master of medicine and a masterpiece, and once it comes out, he is suspected of plagiarizing others, wouldn't Zhang Zhongjing, with his arrogance, commit suicide by jumping off a building?
Zhang Zhongjing cannot afford this kind of reputation for plagiarism.
After tossing and turning for several days and nights, Zhang Ji finally made up his mind and went to Danyang County to ask the pottery merchant about Guizhi Decoction.
For him, this is actually a major event in his future life.
Zhang Ji inherited the family and was promoted to Xiaolian ten years ago, and served as the county magistrate in Jingzhou three years ago.
However, after Sun Jian forced Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, to death, Zhang Ji temporarily reported illness and returned home due to the turmoil in the current situation, and devoted himself to studying medicine in order to benefit the people of the world in his favorite profession.
But the problem is, after more than two years of research in the countryside, what I found was that someone else stole my research results and took them away.
Zhang Ji's heart was broken.
Therefore, he had to go to the pottery merchant to find out.
Otherwise, sooner or later he will die of mental and physical exhaustion from worrying about this matter.
…
…
Luyang.
Today, Yuan Shu is summoning his generals to discuss a major matter.
It is a major event about how to divert the army to conquer Yangzhou.
Sun Jian was ambushed and killed by Liu Biao's general Huang Zu in Xiangyang. Liu Biao relied on this battle to completely establish a foothold in Jingzhou.
As for Nanjun and Jiangxiajun to the north of Jingzhou, under Liu Biao's call, they are like a piece of iron, tightly connected. It will be very difficult for Yuan Shu to infiltrate his power.
Under this unfavorable situation, Yuan Shu decided to temporarily abandon Jingzhou, change his route to the east, and give up the strategy of slowly encroaching on Jiujiang and Lujiang counties based on the Runan gentry, and marched in a large scale to conquer Yangzhou!
Of course, there is another strategy, which is to march northward to Yanzhou territory.
Today he summoned all the civil and military officials under his command to discuss this matter.
Is it going east or north?
Yuan Shu was sitting on the main seat, his face full of murderous solemnity, and his eyes turned a little red.
Continuous defeats have made him feel irritable. Now, he no longer has the usual humility and arrogance, but has a fierce and violent demeanor.
The civil and military officials below couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when they saw Yuan Shu like this. No one dared to make any unauthorized remarks or talk nonsense.
"Yanzhou...Yangzhou...which one to fight?"
Yuan Shu asked his subordinates coldly.
Among the generals under Yuan Shu, in terms of status, Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun, and Liu Xun should be the leaders.
Among the three, Liu Xun had the highest prestige and status in the military. He was once the magistrate of Jianping County in Pei State and came from a noble family. Before the chaos in the world, Liu Xun had personal relationships with Yuan Yuan, Cao Cao and others.
Others did not dare to speak, but Liu Xun was able to speak out because of his relationship with Yuan Shu.
Liu Xun decided to stand up and state his opinion.
