Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

In the afternoon when the birds were singing, the sun shone in the quiet courtyard. This is the Wei Palace located on the west side of the palace. Now, the owner of this palace is directly related to the lives of hundreds of people, controlling the life and death of dozens of death row prisoners.

Xu Chu's report came from outside a side hall.

"King Wei, the first death row prisoner died immediately after the sharp ax cut his head. It seems that his subconscious struggle caused blood to splatter. The second death row prisoner persisted for half an hour. When Hua Tuo's sharp ax touched him, Died, the third..."

While reporting, Xu Chu turned his eyes to the palace.

There, Hua Tuo was performing the third operation.

Craniotomy with a sharp ax is different from scraping bones to treat poison, and it is even more different from disemboweling the belly. There are far more nerves in the brain than in the body, so any slight mistake will make people unable to wake up again.

but…

Apparently, the effect of the third time is better than the first two.

It has been half an hour, and the "operation" is still going on.

at this time.

Another Huben soldier came in a hurry, "King Wei, the Marquis of Nanshou is asking to see you..."

Well…

Hearing this news, what Cao Cao immediately remembered was the message sent by Yu'er just now, that he wanted to marry Cai Yan.

Of course, this incident was shocking at first, but it was not unacceptable to Cao Cao...

Cai Yong was a representative of northern literati, and Cai Zhaoji had a special status as his daughter. If Yu'er really married Cai Yan's sister, it would be of great benefit to him to consolidate his position among literati and scholars.

Of course, if you think about it at a deeper level, there are many benefits...

It's just that Cao Cao couldn't think about it, because at that time... Hua Tuo's first case of "sharp ax craniotomy" had already begun...

It can be said that compared to Yuer marrying Cai Yan, undoubtedly...the sharp ax in Hua Tuo's hand tugged at Cao Cao's heart more.

"Let him in!"

Cao Cao still looked directly at the palace where Hua Tuo was.

Not long after, Lu Yu came...

Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, he was about to salute.

Unexpectedly, Xu Chu immediately gave him a big look...

Lu Yu understood, sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, and waited quietly for Cao Cao...

The doctors of the medical department are carrying water in an orderly manner, and taking out the writing knives and sharp axes that need to be cleaned.

finally…

Another half an hour passed.

A soldier from Huben came to report: "King Wei, Hua Tuo's operation is complete. After the death row prisoner opened his skull with a sharp axe, he stitched it up again."

This…

Cao Cao's eyes widened suddenly.

There was a bit of incredulity in his eyes, but more of a sincere shock, it became... It really did!
call…

Cao Cao let out a long breath.

He couldn't wait to ask in surprise: "This...is this a success?"

"Not counting!" Hua Tuo was not there, and Lu Yu spoke at the right time. "Stitching up is only the first step. Whether you can live or not, you have to observe for a while... The specific reasons are complicated. In short, you might as well observe for a few more days!"

The reason why Lu Yu said that...

It is because, in today's era, in an environment without advanced medical level, with Hua Tuo's superb skills, maybe craniotomy is not a problem, but after craniotomy and suture, there will be more problems, the biggest problem comes from infection, craniotomy Even in later generations, it will be an extremely difficult operation...

In addition, in the face of a hard skull, it is a huge unknown whether the craniotomy can be performed, not to mention that one or two attempts can be successful.

certainly…

Lu Yu didn't doubt China's extensive and profound medicine. China's traditional medicine has been passed down for thousands of years. It has a unique set of medical principles. After generations of exploration and research, it may have reached a level that we can't imagine. It seems that our Chinese medicine is not as good as Western medicine.

Take Hua Tuo as an example, most of the "Qing Nang Shu" has been lost, and only a few pages left are the art of ox and chicken, which has been used for more than 1000 years. It is so legendary that Western medicine cannot explain it at all.

The 5000-year-old primitive human skull unearthed from the Dawenkou Cultural Site in Shandong Province has shown that craniotomy existed in ancient times.

This, Lu Yu once saw with his own eyes when he visited the "Dawenkou Cultural Site", the opening of the skull is located at the parietal bone close to the occipital bone, and the cross-section is smooth and evenly arc-shaped.It can be seen that people who underwent surgery survived for a long time after surgery.

In other words... the "sharp ax craniotomy" mentioned by Hua Tuo probably has a precedent.

In addition, according to foreign magazines, the Russian Satellite News Agency reported that surgical instruments found in Siberia that existed 2500 years ago, including various bone-cutting saws, tweezers and other tools, and even similar to modern scalpels. "The Lancet".

These tools existed 6 to 7 years before Hua Tuo was born, and it may be inferred that surgical operations existed there at that time.

In other words, the wisdom of the ancients... must not be underestimated.

certainly…

Having said that, Lu Yu still didn't dare to say enough, let's observe, observe...

Just now, he heard from Huben Jun that the people who opened the skulls with the sharp ax were all death row prisoners. Dawei didn’t have many other things. Hua Tuo can achieve great success, then... is the best time.

"Ziyu is here!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Cao Cao just opened his mouth.

But, at this moment... His eyes were shining with light, which was incomparably brilliant, and full of vision and hope.

"King Wei, it's not easy to rush into this sharp ax craniotomy... You might as well ask Miracle Doctor Hua to try it for half a year to make sure it's safe..."

"I know!" Before Lu Yu could finish speaking, Cao Cao waved his hand. "You came here for Cai Yan, right?"

This…

Lu Yu lowered his head slightly, his eyes darkened, "Maybe I just made a mistake that all men make!"

"Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed.

He stood up from the stone bench, walked to Lu Yu, reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "Ziyu, your request is logically not allowed, but... you have to think about it, if Cai Yan does not enter the Marquis Mansion as a wife, then you can still have several wives in the Marquis Mansion, but if Sister Cai Yanxian really entered the Hou Mansion, no matter how many wives there are in the Hou Mansion in the future, everyone will be like a mirror, and the real wife is only Cai Yanxian!"

call…

Cao Cao's words are a reminder.

And Lu Yu bit his lip slightly, this is not a difficult choice, but it is an established fact.

If Lu Yu confirmed Cai Yan's status, then... what would Ma Yunlu, who was going to marry him as his wife, think, and what would Sun Shangxiang think about the Jiangdong Sun family's marriage?
These rich and noble girls...going to a mansion to be a "concubine" with the title of "Madam" is probably not so easy for them to accept.

certainly…

Lu Yu's attitude remained firm.

"Ever since the old days, Dongping three years ago, sister Zhaoji and I entered Cao Ying. From then on, King Wei should know my relationship with sister Zhaoji... Now, it's just a matter of course, and sister Zhaoji is not young anymore. , and she is pregnant with my heir, she should be the real wife of Nanshouhou Mansion!"

call…

This time it was Cao Cao who let out a long breath.

Is the real wife of Nanshouhou Mansion?

Hehe... She is the eldest concubine of the Great Wei, the future princess of the Great Wei, and even... the queen of Fengyi Tianxia!
The difference in titles here... how many miles apart?
"That's up to you!"

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, but still agreed to the marriage, "It's just that there are so many things to do now, I'm afraid I don't have time to officially marry the two of you! The original plan for Tongque Taili's son had to be postponed because of Xiliang's betrayal!"

When it came to the end, Cao Cao had already gritted his teeth.

"King Wei..." Lu Yu whispered softly, "The most urgent thing is to calm down the hidden danger of Xiliang!"

When mentioning such a sentence, Lu Yu actually thought of Yang Xiu... Maybe more he thought of another disciple.

"Gu also has this intention."

Cao Cao suddenly raised his spirits, but...

Well…

Subconsciously, Cao Cao held his forehead with both hands, as if, whenever he raises his spirits now, then...he can't avoid the headache.

The headwind has grown to the point of being extremely heavy.

"Ugh…"

Cao Cao slammed his clenched fist on the table, his brows frowning.

"With a lonely headache, I'm afraid I won't be able to conquer Xiliang myself."

"King Wei, in my opinion, you might as well send General Yuan Rang to lead 20 troops out of Wuguan and approach Tongguan!"

"And I will take three thousand riders from the headquarters of the Longxiao Battalion and attack from the flanks!"

Lu Yu suggested.

Cao Cao managed to open his eyes. "I'm sure!"

"Ninety percent!" Lu Yu was extraordinarily confident...

Although there were not too many words and explanations, Lu Yu's words inexplicably made Cao Cao more confident.

"Zixiao..."

Cao Cao shouted.

"The end is here." Cao Ren hurried forward.

Cao Cao then ordered: "The decree of the lonely king, these days, under the wind of loneliness, if you want to rest...Let the power of the overlord be handed over to Lu Ziyu for overall planning, and all deployments will be written by Lu Ziyu's handwriting! Those who violate the order will be executed!"

"Here!" Cao Ren cupped his hands...

Lu Yu commanded the army, he was convinced.

The most reassuring thing about Lu Yu is that he knows people well, and he attacks the enemy's heart... At least in the formulation of the general strategy, he has never made any mistakes.

Not long after, Cao Cao went back to rest, Lu Yu and Cao Ren bid farewell to Cao Cao, and slowly withdrew from the Palace of the King of Wei.

Walking side by side, Cao Ren asked Lu Yu.

"Ziyu, how do you plan to fight this battle?"

"This..." Asked suddenly, Lu Yu was still thinking about how to answer, and simply smiled, "In fact, I don't need me in this battle, even if the dog is tied to command, I can win...sure victory!"

Speaking of this, Lu Yu showed a harmless smile.

Cao Ren was confused by what he said...

Sure enough, Nanshouhou still maintains the same self-confidence and strong conviction...

A tethered dog can win. If others say this, Cao Ren will be beaten up if he doesn't keep it. But what Lu Yu said... hehe, Cao Ren believed it.

...

...

Xiliang, above Tongguan.

A huge map was hung up, and Han Sui and Ma Chao were discussing military affairs with the generals.

Sima Yi was also among them, but he stayed far behind the crowd.

Going west to Xudu City, after all, he failed to assassinate Cao Cao, and all the warlords had their own ghosts, but it ended with a lot of thunder and rain, leaving a mess.

Thinking about it with his toes, he knew that Da Wei would not suffer from this dark loss.

Ma Chao said coldly: "Cao Jun will come if he wants, and it happens to be a battle under Tongguan..."

His words quickly ushered in the echoes of many generals...

"Hmph, when you come to Guanzhong, even a dragon has to be coiled by me, and even a tiger has to be crouched by me."

The one who spoke was Cheng Yin...he was a native of Hedong, and what was recorded in the deduction were the "Eight Generals" under Ma Chao's command, but in fact, what are the "Eight Generals"?

Ma Chao also deserves it?

The so-called "Eight Generals" are the eight most powerful warlords in Guanzhong. Han Sui and Ma Chao went west to Luoyang, and they just wanted to get a share of it!

Having said that, who doesn't yearn for the luxury and gold fans of the Central Plains?
Who is willing to eat sand in Guanzhong?

"I heard that Cao Cao has Lu Ziyu under his command, planning strategies, attacking the enemy and attacking the heart, haha... What is I thinking in my heart, but he can figure it out. Which bitch is I going to ravage tonight? Can he figure it out? Hmph...I was just thinking about it What about him!"

This time it was Li Kan who spoke.

It is also a warlord in Guanzhong...

Besides Cheng Yin and Li Kan, there are Ma Wan, Yang Qiu, Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng...

It is no exaggeration to say that they are all masters with well-developed limbs and simple minds!

Only Han Sui's son-in-law, Yan Xing, has a bit of resourcefulness, but... it's just a bit, not much.

All of a sudden, all the warlords in Xiliang made bold statements one after another, wanting to fight Cao Cao.

Only Han Sui, his brows were frowned, his eyes were flickering... At first, he was fooled by Wang Yue, so he went west, never thinking about the consequences... let alone thinking that he would really become an enemy of Cao Cao in the future.

Now that I think about it, I'm a little scared.

Han Sui belonged to the kind of person who was never lacking in evil intentions, but lacked some courage in critical moments.

now…

Hearing that Cao Jun's hundreds of thousands of troops have returned to aid one after another, his courage seems to have turned into dust...disappeared invisible.

From the corner of the eye, he glanced at everyone in the account.

It happened that his eyes met Sima Yi's eyes...

"Zhongda...how did you stand at the end, come, come here..."

"Tell me, is there any clever strategy to resist Cao Jun!"

Han Sui greeted Sima Yi...

Hearing this, Sima Yi bowed his head and walked to the front, first bowed his hands to the generals...

It seems that the generals don't buy it.

"Where did this Confucian scholar come from? Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid his martial arts are not very strong, right? He came from Kanto again, hmph, maybe it's not a fine work?"

Some Xiliang warlords questioned...

Han Sui hurriedly introduced: "This person is Sima Zhongda, the second son of the Sima family in Hanoi. The Sima family was destroyed by Cao Cao. Zhongda had nowhere to go, so he could only join me. He and we all share the same hatred..."

Oh…

Having said that, the big guy let go of his guard against Sima Yi.

"Ahem..." Sima Yi coughed lightly. "Generals, I dare to ask, what is the difference between the Xiliang Army and the Cao Army? What are the advantages?"

this…

Yan Xing tried to answer: "The advantage lies in my Xiliang iron cavalry being invincible in the world, and I am very good at field battles! The disadvantage, of course, is that I am at a disadvantage in attacking fortifications and defending the city!"

"That's right..." Sima Yi nodded. "So, sticking to Tongguan... isn't it falling into a defensive battle? In this way, the characteristics of Xiliang cavalry that are good at field combat cannot be used. Is it possible that the generals plan to fight Cao Jun in street fighting?"

Speaking of here…

Sima Yi continued: "In addition, Chang'an is a newly captured city by our army, and the people's hearts have not yet been stabilized. I heard that the generals of the Wei army headed by 'Zhang Ji' and 'Zhao Ang' were lurking in it and secretly burned my food and grass. It’s not stable enough either, half of the battle has already been lost!”

this…

Unlike other warlords who were excited, Sima Yi's words seemed to pour cold water on them.

But...however, this cold water is very reasonable.

"Then Zhongda, tell me? How about it?"

Han Sui asked...

Sima Yi's eyes were deep, and then he whispered four words - "Give up Tongguan!"
