[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

No matter how many supporters or opponents there are, Cao Cao's idea of ​​conquering Wuhuan is extremely firm.Cao Jun, who gathered in response to the order, rectified in place for a few days, and then moved northward in great numbers under the leadership of Cao Cao.

Before the expedition, Cao Cao issued two other orders that were puzzling to outsiders.

One is to order his eldest son, Cao Ang, to lead the army to the south and station troops near Nanyang for training.

The second is to make Guo Jia, Marquis of Weiyang Pavilion, a former military adviser, and follow Cao Ang to Nanyang.

Even Cao Ang, the commander-in-chief, only knew that the order to garrison the army was to disturb Liu Bei and paralyze Liu Biao, but he didn't know why Weiyang Tinghou, who was loved and trusted by Cao Cao, didn't participate in the trip to Wuhuan.

Only Guo Jia, although he didn't know about it before receiving the order, immediately understood the reason after receiving the order——

The journey to the north was long and the march was arduous.It must be that Zi Cong was worried about his health and didn't want him to come and go. Knowing that he was always restless, he let him follow Cao Ang to station the army in Nanyang, using Liu Bei and Liu Biao as a cover to give him something to do.

Guo Jia had no intention of resisting this blatant "Yangmou", and acquiesced to this arrangement.

Before marching, Hua Tuo made another diagnosis and treatment for Guo Jia, asking about the current situation.

After learning that Guo Jia had stopped using Chuanwu, he had severe headaches for the past few days, Hua Tuo slightly adjusted the prescription, and said in a soothing voice:

"Although the head disease is difficult to cure, the matter of the human body's qi is extremely mysterious. In the pre-Qin period, there was a sick man who was suffering from a chronic disease, and the medicine and stones were ineffective. Everyone said that he was waiting for death. The sick man knew that his life span was short. , playing with dogs every day, and having fun... Who would have thought that, decades later, that man would still be alive. The king was so surprised that he ordered the doctor to ask him for his pulse, and finally got a healthy pulse..."

Guo Jia had already read Hua Tuo's intentions, but he deliberately smiled and said: "I think it's a misdiagnosis by a quack doctor before, which made this person obsolete for many years."

Hua Tuo was choked hard, blowing his beard and staring angrily:

"It's 'healing without medicine', not a misdiagnosis. I mentioned this to tell Guo Hou: the headache you are suffering from may heal on its own. Thinking. If you can persist in this way, supplemented with drugs that dredge collaterals and strengthen bones, the day of recovery is just around the corner.”

These words sounded reasonable, but Guo Jia was never a fool:

"For Zi Cong's entrustment, the miracle doctor specially made up such a story to forgive me. Please rest assured that Jia has never planned to give up on himself, nor has he been depressed."

He has no obsession with life and death, and his only reluctance is the one in his heart.

But it was this reluctance that made him reluctant to die and sleep forever, and he just wanted to do his best and live in accordance with his selfishness.

The motive was exposed by the patient, and Hua Tuo blushed a little.Fortunately, he already paid attention to health preservation, and his complexion was rosy, but it was not unusual to see it.

While slandering smart people for being difficult, Hua Tuo considered Wan Zun: "It's not entirely true. Cui Xiaoyou's 'placebo theory' is just one aspect of it, and the miracle I just mentioned is not a random fabrication."

Hearing this, Guo Jia was aroused a bit of attention, but Hua Tuo's next sentence turned the attention into shock.

"Cui Xiaoyou originally suffered from palsy, and it was difficult to live through the weak crown. This disease is similar to Guo Hou's disease. There is no cure for the disease, but Cui Xiaoyou was able to recover when he was weak. I have asked Cui Xiaoyou's medical girl, Qiao Ji, What Cui Xiaoyou took was nothing more than ordinary nourishing and heart-nourishing food, which shows that this incurable disease still has some vitality."

Guo Jia endured again and again until Hua Tuo finished speaking. He couldn't restrain himself anymore, and eagerly grabbed Hua Tuo and asked, "Now that he has recovered, will he relapse again?"

Hua Tuo originally wanted to answer "Of course he won't get sick again after healed", but he had never seen this kind of "self-healing" situation before, so he couldn't answer too definitely, so he said ambiguously:

"At present, there is no sign of recidivism. But it is not certain. After all, the heart is the root of the five internal organs, so we still need to pay more attention."

An attributive of "uncertainty" grabbed all of Guo Jia's mind.He was never anxious about his physical condition, but now he was a little restless because of Hua Tuo's secret.

No wonder when he met Zi Cong for the first time, his maid insisted that he drink the potion of invigorating blood and nourishing blood.Guo Jia originally thought that it was because Zi Cong had been filial for many years and had lost his strength, but he didn't expect there to be such a reason.

"Wuhuan is a long way off, and the march has been tiring. If Zi Cong's old illness recurs, what should I do?"

Hearing the uncontrollable worry in the other party's words, Hua Tuo didn't react for a while, and said with some surprise:

"Why do you ask this question? This disease has no tendency to attack for the time being, and it will not hinder you even if you march. Although marching is hard work, but with Cui Xiaoyou's physique, there is no need to worry about it. Moreover, before the consultation, Guo Hou asked me Your government selects medicinal materials, and makes pills of nourishing, relieving heat, and dispelling acclimatization and other medicines to Cui Xiaoyou, and also invites several highly skilled doctors to accompany the army... Now that the perfect plan has been prepared, Guo Hou has nothing to worry about of?"

What is there to worry about...?Guo Jia couldn't help laughing at himself, he was worried about being separated from Zi Cong and letting Zi Cong go to Wuhuan alone with the army, now Hua Tuo brought up the matter of heart paralysis again, on his already burning heart Another layer of oil has been poured, how can we "not worry".

Accompanied by the lingering sorrow, he found Cui Song, and bluntly expressed his worries and intentions to go to Wuhuan together.

Out of understanding of Cui Song, Guo Jia also used some unconventional tricks.If it weren't for Cui Song's deep understanding of the difficulty of the trip and his firm determination, he would have been almost bewitched by the beauty, so he agreed in a daze.

However, according to historical records, Cui Song did not dare to risk Guo Jia's life at all. He could only be as hard as iron, and mercilessly rejected Guo Jia's request.

In order to ensure everything is safe, Cui Song knew that he had to go to this Wuhuan battle.If he can't solve this serious problem, he is afraid that the torrent of history will ruthlessly swallow everything, leaving behind cold words that are no different from history books.

In the end, what Guo Jia waited for was not Cui Song's change of heart, but Xi Zhicai who entered Cao Ang's garrison in the name of Zuo Junshi and stared at him covetously.

How Guo Jia is feeling, I will not mention it for the time being.Jia Xu, who was planning to retire in Cao Ying leisurely and rarely offered advice, also sighed deeply after Cao Ying's army left.

Cao Cao issued two military orders on the surface... But in fact, he issued three orders.

This third military order, apart from the person involved and the planner, no one in Cao Ying's civil servants and generals knew about it.

Therefore, Jia Xu, who was "entrusted with a heavy responsibility", could only silently swallow this big trouble that fell from the sky, sighed, and greeted the other two synonymous with trouble with an extremely complicated mood.

Lu Bu, who hadn't led the army for a long time, sat on a tall horse, and his bravery remained the same as before: "Get out of the camp."

At the position of a horse's head behind him, Chen Gong was expressionless, like a servant.
