The World of Yellow Sky

Hua Tuo held a book bound with yellow paper in his hand, and read it with all his attention. He didn't even know that there were many other people in the tent until his medicine boy pushed him, and he didn't reacted.

When Hua Tuo raised his head, he realized that there were only him and the drug boy in the tent, but at some point four people in different costumes had squeezed in.

One person was wearing the eagle wolf guard costume, but different from the usual eagle wolf guard, the color of this person's clothes was ivory white, and there were two banner officers wearing wolf uniforms following him, one of them was Hua Tuo's acquaintance, It was Deng Xu, the flag officer he had met before, but the other person had no memory.

Hua Tuo also recognized the last general in armor, who was the head of the barracks here.

"Greetings to Shangguan, I was fascinated by reading for a while, I am so rude, please forgive me."

Hua Tuo noticed the people in the tent, stood up quickly, bowed to everyone, and said embarrassedly.

"Some of the methods written in this "Health Regulations" are really unheard of and unseen. After watching some of them, I really benefited a lot and made Shangguan laugh."

"Mr. Hua is serious."

After being polite for a while, Zhao Ji didn't beat around the bush, and asked straightforwardly.

"May I ask that Mr. Hua really has a solution to the epidemic!?"

In the camp, when everyone heard Zhao Ji's question, they also looked at Hua Tuo. Compared with this matter, other things are simply irrelevant. Now it is time for life and death. It's just a matter of indifference.

"Don't dare to lie to the superiors, I do have a solution to the epidemic, but only in the early stage of the epidemic."

Hua Tuo's face was serious, and he said solemnly.

"Typhoid fever is difficult to cure because of its many changes. Although I have known about it, I don't have many ways to solve it. However, I still have some experience in how to solve the symptoms in the early stage. If you get sick soon, [-]% of you The grasp of it makes it recover.”

After Hua Tuo finished speaking, he glanced at the pale-faced Zhao Ji, and suddenly walked up to Zhao Ji's side not far away.

Zhao Ji was a little surprised. Seeing Hua Tuo's actions, he quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Hua, don't go any further. I've already got the disease. Although I'm covering my mouth and nose with a face towel, I can't guarantee that I won't infect you."

"It's okay, I have already seen that Shangguan is suffering from the disease."

Hua Tuo sat down cross-legged, stretched out his fingers and said to the side.

"Sir, please sit down and let me take your pulse."

Zhao Ji saw Hua Tuo's confident look, and the hope that had disappeared in his heart reappeared. Although he had decided to die before, who would really want to die if he had the hope of life before him.

Even the most involved yellow angels, if they choose between life and death, if they can choose to live, they will choose to live.

Zhao Ji sat down and stretched out his hand to let Hua Tuo catch his own pulse.

Hua Tuo frowned slightly, carefully checked Zhao Ji's pulse, and then carefully observed Zhao Ji's complexion, asked about the general situation, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy look appeared on his face.

"Mr. Hua?"

Zhao Ji looked at Hua Tuo excitedly, and he saw the joy on Hua Tuo's face.

"It's more than enough, but it's not enough. Shangguan's pulse is a floating pulse. His symptoms include aversion to cold and body pain. This is a symptom of typhoid and sun disease. Shangguan should be infected with the disease for no more than three days. Shangguan has a strong physique and is not yet terminally ill. In between, it can still be healed."

Hua Tuo withdrew his hand, turned around and walked back to the desk, took a brush and wrote on the yellow paper, slowly began to write, and read at the same time.

"To treat typhoid and sun disease, you need to use ephedra soup, add four flavors, add nine liters of water, cook ephedra first, and subtract two liters..."

After finishing writing, Hua Tuo breathed a sigh of relief at the yellow paper on the desk and praised.

"I have been alive for more than forty years, and I have entered the age of [-], but I have never seen such a good paper, which prevents insects from eating, and makes books, leaving ink through the ages."

Hua Tuo raised the yellow paper in his hand, and after the ink had dried a bit, he handed it to Zhao Ji who was sitting on the ground, and instructed.

"There are a lot of patients under my doctor, and there is no medicine available in the medicine box. The Shangguan takes the medicine according to this prescription, takes it for a few days, and the disease will go away."

Zhao Ji stretched out his hands, tremblingly took the yellow paper from Hua Tuo's hand, looking at the prescription written in ink on the yellow paper, even his body trembled.

"Qianhu Zhao Ji, deputy of the Eagle Wolf Guard, thank the divine doctor for saving his life. This time the epidemic is eliminated, and the name of the divine doctor will surely spread among our Taiping Taoists."

Zhao Ji knelt on the ground, bowed solemnly to Hua Tuo, and kowtowed.

"No way, Zhao Qianhu please come up."

Hua Tuo stepped forward to support Zhao Ji and pulled him up from the ground.

"Healing the sick and saving lives is the duty of the doctor."

Hua Tuo supported Zhao Ji and spoke again.

"The prescription I gave to Zhao Qianhu is for the treatment of typhoid and sun disease. Among the sun diseases, there is another disease-"stroke". , sweating, bad wind, slow pulse, it is reported that the woman has been ill for five days..."

Hua Tuo shook his head and sighed.

"If you have a physique like Zhao Qianhu's, you may still be sure in five days, but according to that woman's physique, I'm afraid the typhoid fever has changed, and there is no way to save it, but I have a prescription for early-stage 'stroke', and I will give it a try. After it is transcribed, Zhao Qianhu can treat it according to the prescription."

Zhao Ji's eyes were slightly gloomy, but life is impermanent, the epidemic is prevalent, and it was originally a fatal situation, but now there is a glimmer of life. Even if everyone cannot be cured, it is already a surprise enough.

After Hua Tuo sat back at the desk, he held the brush again and began to write quickly on the yellow paper.

"Zhang Ji, you lead someone to copy the prescription in multiple copies, gather the medicinal materials, and cook the soup outside the barracks."

Zhao Ji untied the badge from his waist and handed it to Zhang Ji who was beside him. Without delay, Zhang Ji took Zhao Ji's badge and led away. A series of footsteps sounded, and the footsteps quickly faded away, and disappeared completely in less than a quarter of an hour.

And Hua Tuo also wrote the second prescription, Zhao Ji handed the prescription to Deng Xu, and Deng Xu quickly turned around and walked out of the camp to prepare for making the decoction.

In the camp, only Hua Tuo, Yao Tong, and Zhao Ji were left.

Zhao Ji saluted Hua Tuo again respectfully, and said sincerely.

"Thank you for the help of the divine doctor. If I hadn't met the divine doctor this time, I really don't know how many people will die due to the epidemic this time."

"Healing the sick and saving lives is the duty of a doctor. Zhao Qianhu really doesn't need to express his gratitude. When he was practicing medicine in the downstream, he also encountered Fu Zhu from the Taiping Dao. It’s also very respectful.”

Hua Tuo also returned a salute, saying seriously.

Physicians are benevolent, Hua Tuo studied medicine but did not seek an official career, and he did not accept the recruitment of him as an official by counties and counties.

It is precisely because of studying medical skills that Hua Tuo has seen the lives of the people at the bottom, and even seen the evil deeds committed by powerful families. It is precisely because of this that Hua Tuo refused to be recruited as an official after he succeeded in studying medicine, preferring to Holding the golden hoop bell, he ran around and practiced medicine in various places.

In the process of practicing medicine, he naturally came into contact with Taipingdao, which was developing rapidly at that time.

Those talismans, holding a nine-jointed staff and carrying a medicine box, also wandered in the countryside to treat diseases and save lives.

Although Hua Tuo doesn't believe in Taiping Dao, he doesn't have any other views on Taiping Dao. After all, Taiping Dao's talisman wishes are really curing diseases and saving people, and they are not heresy. Many teachings lead people to be good.

It was after the Yellow Turban Uprising that the Tao of Taiping was really banned in the world.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, when the yellow scarves in Sizhou revived, Hua Tuo was practicing medicine in Jibei State in Yanzhou.

After hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves from Henan, Yan, and Xu provinces flooded into Jibei Kingdom, Hua Tuo followed the Yellow Turbans all the way to Pingyuan County, and then crossed the Yellow River and arrived all the way through Qinghe County. Anping State in Jizhou.

Originally, Hua Tuo didn't want to go all the way to Bingzhou with the Yellow Turban Army from the four states. He had many opportunities to leave.

It is really not easy to manage a million-strong army, and it is difficult to find a few people who have little relationship with the rest.

But as the distance to Bingzhou got closer and closer, and listening to Fu Zhu's narration of life in Bingzhou, Hua Tuo also felt a little curious.

According to Fu Zhu's description, Bingzhou is a land of paradise, where there are no powerful landlords, no bully officials running rampant in the countryside, where the tillers have their fields, those who live in them have their houses, and those who work in them have their property.

On the way of migration, Hua Tuo also saw the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who were moving in the opposite direction from the people. He knew that the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were going to resist the following Han army.

None of the retrograde Yellow Turban soldiers were strong and healthy. Hua Tuo walked on the periphery. Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, smelling, asking, and feeling. He can see clearly.

Those soldiers were disheveled, skinny, barely covered with clothes, they were holding wooden guns, farming tools, and kitchen utensils, and there were very few soldiers with sharp knives. It might be more appropriate to call them soldiers or farmers.

It is really hard for Hua Tuo to imagine how these people defeated the Han army with full armor.

Countless people died along the road, but Hua Tuo was unable to do so. These are beyond the reach of a doctor. Many people died on the road due to long-term malnutrition and long-distance travel. disease.

Hua Tuo is just a doctor, he can only heal people, not the country.

After arriving in Anping Kingdom, when Hua Tuo saw the yellow scarf soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp knives, he began to give up the idea of ​​leaving.

Because he began to recognize what kind of people those people wearing yellow scarves, the Yellow Turban Army from Bingzhou, were.

Those talismans holding nine-stalked sticks came to the crowd and spared no effort to treat the wounded.

Those soldiers wearing yellow scarves will walk on the side of the road, leaving the easier main road for the transferred people.

Those soldiers wearing yellow scarves will step forward to help when they see people in difficulty, and give help as much as they can.

None of the soldiers wearing yellow scarves was arrogant or domineering.

Chapter 4 Why not eat minced meat

Along the Zhangshui River, a red cavalry team of more than [-] people galloped past, causing ripples in the Zhangshui River, and the messy sound of horseshoes broke the original silent atmosphere.

The birds startled, and the beasts scattered.

Red clothes, red armour, and red banners, a fiery red banner stands first, and it is particularly eye-catching among the flags.

On the fiery red banner, a large "Wen" character was embroidered with black silk thread. Under the fiery red banner, a cavalry general of the Han army was galloping towards the south with his horse.

And behind the cavalry general, there are hundreds of knights holding red flags in their hands. As they gallop and run, a large number of banners in the cavalry also gradually straighten as the horses accelerate and gallop until they are unfolded to the maximum. .

The sound of hunting and the thunderous sound of horseshoes are intertwined, and it is daunting to hear it.

This cavalry army is the vanguard of the Northern Jizhou Army, and they are the most elite cavalry troops in the entire Jizhou.

And their commander is also one of the most valiant cavalry generals in Jizhou, the cavalry general with the reputation of being the champion of the three armies——Wen Chou!

Although Wen Chou is ugly in his name, he is not actually ugly. His face is even handsome, with eagle eyebrows, wolf eyes and sharp eyesight, and leopard head and beard.

Unlike Yan Liang who likes to wear brocade robes, Wen Chou's attire is not much different from that of ordinary Han army generals. He is also wearing the scarlet shirt that ordinary Han army generals usually wear.

Under the scarlet battle robe is an iron-cast double-breasted sleeve armor, which is also the armor that ordinary Han cavalry generals often wear.

But it's just an ordinary dress, but Wen Chou still feels extremely dangerous, like a sword hidden in a scabbard, and he is intimidated by it and dare not approach it.

Wen Chou lightly pulled the reins, raised his right hand, and a low-pitched horn sounded immediately behind him.

There are many people in the forest not far away. Wen Chou is not the son of those aristocratic families who have ascended to high positions by relying on the prestige and support of the family. The change must be the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army.

Before setting off, he had looked at the map, and they were very close to the river crossing point of the Yellow Turban Army, and the presence of scouts here proved that the large army of the Yellow Turban Army should be nearby.

"Lin Geng, Tian Er, each of you lead a hundred riders ahead, spread out to investigate, and report back as soon as you see any traces of the Yellow Turban Army, and you are not allowed to engage in battle without authorization."

With one stroke of the whip, Wen Chou named two commanders from among the generals and schools behind him, and issued a military order.

Without hesitation, the two took the command flag and blew the flag.

A moment later, under the leadership of the two, more than two hundred cavalry roared past Wen Chou, and swept away into the distance with the sound of rumbling horseshoes.

Looking at the cavalry going away, Wen Chou's expression didn't change much.

Cheng Feng, who was following Wen Chou, was a little surprised and found the trace of the Yellow Turban Army. Wen Chou's face not only did not show a trace of joy, but also showed a trace of worry.

It's strange to say, but it's true. Cheng Feng and Wen Chou are from the same village. They joined the army with Wen Chou all the way. After going through dozens of battles, they naturally know Wen Chou's temperament.

Logically speaking, they were ordered to crusade against the Yellow Turbans and found traces of the Yellow Turbans. This is military merit, and this is merit.

If he could break the Yellow Turban in Zhangshui, he would undoubtedly be able to take advantage of this wind to go a step further and become a school captain, which would be better than the military achievements he gained from fighting to the death with those barbarians in the borderlands in the past.

Most of the military merits gained from fighting the enemy with all their lives belonged to those officers from powerful families, only a small half could be taken into their own hands, and even a lot of money was required.

If Yan Liang and Wen Chou's official positions depended solely on their military merits, they were not from aristocratic families, so how could they have attained the post of Army Sima.

Lv Bu spent half his life as a soldier, having gone through countless battles, big and small, and his reputation for bravery spread throughout Bingzhou, but he was just a small military lord.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were able to ascend to the official position of military commander, in fact, a big reason was money, and they spent a lot of money to bribe the superiors, so they earned this military position.

It's ridiculous to say that they have no courage. If the eunuchs were not in power and openly sold their officials and nobles, Yan Liang and Wen Chou would have stopped at the position of military marquis at most. If they wanted to become military commanders, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream.

The former Puppet Yan Army's Wuhuan Qiao Wang went south, and Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Lan were defeated and did not stop them. If the war hadn't ended yet, Jizhou had caused great turmoil because of the embroidered clothes messenger, and everyone in the army was terrified. Almost unbearable, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, the official positions of the three of them were retained.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Lan knew very well that if the war ended and they could not make up for their crimes, then dismissal would be the lightest punishment, and punishment for crimes is not unusual.

Those high-ranking officials don't care how powerful the enemy is or how many problems the frontline soldiers encounter. They only care about the result.

Victory is victory, and defeat is defeat.

After the Battle of Shijian Mountain, Zhang Jaw was captured, and Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Lan were punished for their defeat. However, at that time, the civil unrest in Jizhou had not stopped, and they were still useful, and Wang Fen had already started plotting to abolish the emperor. , wanting to take the opportunity to win over people's hearts, so he just fined his salary and settled the matter.

But today is different, Wang Fen was sentenced for treason, and the three of them have already been branded as Wang Fen.

Without exception, the generals and schools who were defeated in Youzhou before were all thrown into the prison in Guangyang County by the embroidered clothes emissary, and they were going to be punished for their crimes. If it hadn't been for the Jizhou Incident, they might have issued specific punishment orders.

Those generals from powerful families in Youzhou were still punished, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were from relatively wealthy backgrounds, and their official positions were already the highest, so even if they wanted to ask someone to intercede, they had no way to make connections.

The only way to get them out of the predicament is to defeat the troops behind the Yellow Turban Army, and pay off their merits, so that they will not be dismissed from office, or even sent to prison for their crimes.

"Sima."

Cheng Feng's complexion changed several times, and finally he shouted.

"Ok?"

Wen Chou tilted his head slightly, and looked at Cheng Feng with some doubts.
