Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 315 No gifts for this year's holiday

Bai Tu made a special trip to the medical school and asked Zhang Zhongjing about Liu Biao's symptoms. Indeed, Zhang Zhongjing also believed that this should be the legendary "diabetes syndrome."

However, Zhang Zhongjing only judged based on accumulated knowledge. In fact, Zhang Zhongjing had not seen it with his own eyes. The "Huangdi Neijing" records that "this fatness is caused by the person who eats sweet food and is fat."

He had seen other cases of "disappearing due to thirst", but after hearing about it, Bai Tu felt that those cases were more likely to be hyperthyroidism or diabetes insipidus...

After all, the cooking oil in the Han Dynasty was still mainly animal fat, which was not well absorbed, and there was no cooking method like frying.

Although flax flowed into the Han Dynasty during the Pre-Han Dynasty, and "sesame oil" was used as a vegetable oil, it was mostly used for lighting.

The earliest fried food in Chinese civilization appeared during the Three Kingdoms period. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, fried cold food became popular - but since it is cold food, it is probably not fried meat.

As for before Bai Tu made "white sugar", there was very little "sweet" in the Han Dynasty.

At this time, both talent and hard work are essential to cure yourself of diabetes!

Zhang Zhongjing also specifically emphasized that it is said that patients with diabetes mellitus in the "Huangdi Neijing" edition have a higher chance of stroke than ordinary people.

With Zhang Zhongjing's judgment and supporting evidence, Bai Tu became more determined to provide food for the people of Jingzhou.

……

In the morning light, Jingzhou Mansion ushered in a new day. The cook wrapped four carefully selected pipa legs in flour, fried them in a mixture of "fat" and sesame oil, and then placed them in a breathable food box. The servant sent it to Liu Biao.

When he woke up in the morning, Liu Biao made four fried chicken legs first. He felt that his physical condition seemed to have improved recently.

Well, after all, I can eat and sleep, so it should be just a moment of fatigue...

Looking at the chicken bones that had been chewed clean, Liu Biao thought about what had happened recently and felt a little better.

On the Jiangxia battlefield, after Liu Qi took over Cai Mao's position, he unexpectedly won more than he lost!
Although there were few major victories, there were constant small victories. Compared to Cai Mao who led his troops without fighting, Liu Qi had regained Zhu County in more than two months, and even defeated the Jiangdong navy in Xiakou, and occupied Xia In the water village at the entrance of the river, the Jiangdong navy could only hide in Wuchang.

This made Liu Biao happy, but also regretful - if he had known it was so easy to defend, he should have withstood the pressure of the Nanjun nobles and let Liu Qi replace Huang Zu. Maybe Jiangdong soldiers can't even get in Jiangxia now!
At the same time, he was even more angry at those incompetent nobles.

Moreover, Liu Qi was indeed as filial as before in Xiangyang. This "fried chicken" was introduced from Yangzhou, and Liu Qi first discovered it in Jiangxia, and then dedicated it to his father.

Speaking of which, when Liu Qi conquered Xiakou, he discovered that several fried chicken restaurants had opened in nearby Miancheng, and they were brainwashed every day and shouted: No gifts will be accepted during the holidays this year, only fried chicken skins will be accepted.

This suddenly gave Liu Qi inspiration - yes!From the perspective of "seeing things and thinking about people"...if you give other gifts, your father may not see them every day, especially with those people from the Cai family causing trouble. It's strange that Liu Biao can see his gifts every day!
But the recipe is different…

When Liu Biao eats it every day, he will think of his son...it's so delicious!

So Liu Qi specially collected and even secretly sent people to Yangzhou to get a batch of recipes back.

Liu Biao indeed felt Liu Qi's filial piety even more because of this. Not only did his desire to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones fade away, he even began to suppress the Nanjun nobles, especially the Cai family.

However, this move further irritated the Nanjun nobles, and the situation in Xiangyang became increasingly mysterious.

Both Huang Chengyan and Bai Tu hoped that Liu Cong could succeed to the Jingzhou Prefecture, so that there would be a basis for launching the city dedication plan. However... this was different from ordinary heirs seizing power. In order to support Liu Cong, Huang Chengyan did not mind rebelling. The operation made Liu Biao turn to Liu Qi instead.

Because of this, the Nanjun nobles will have greater support for Liu Cong, and no one knows these nobles better than Huang Chengyan!
When Liu Biao wanted to abolish the elders and establish younger ones, although they supported it, they would not push it too actively. After all, the noble clan was not monolithic.

However, when Liu Biao made it clear that he wanted Liu Qi to succeed him, the Nanjun nobles who felt threatened would support Cai to take the throne, even if they tried to break up with him!

What Huang Chengyan wanted was not only for Liu Cong to succeed to the throne, but also to tear Liu Biao and the Nanjun gentry apart first, making Liu Cong the only legitimate representative of the latter. Only in this way could he obtain the greatest benefits for Cai Shuang, and at the same time weaken the Jingzhou Prefecture... …

Compared to Xiangyang, which was fighting openly and secretly, Liu Qi, who was still in Jiangxia, was very proud of himself at this time. The weak and receptive look he had developed in Xiangyang became increasingly majestic because of his domineering power on the battlefield.

In contrast, his cousin Liu Pan was not in such a happy mood in Jingnan at this time.

Liu Qi officially took office as the prefect of Jiangxia in September of the fifth year of Jian'an. The Jingzhou navy of Governor Jiangxia invaded Miangkou in early December, and eight months ago in Jingnan...

The Wuxi tribe, which Liu Pan originally used as a barrier, suddenly began to support the Yangzhou army!
During the New Year's Day, when he first heard that Mohuken had died and Shamoko had succeeded him as the master of the White Tiger Division, Liu Pan smiled happily.

After all, in his opinion, Mohuken was not only greedy, vicious, but also insidious. In comparison, Samoko... wasn't he just the big stupid guy next to him?
It seems that the people of Wuxi really don't have enough brains. They actually let a reckless man be their leader. God help me...

Huh?It doesn't seem quite right. Why is there still something about Chen Gong?

What?Shamoko accepted the canonization of the General's Office and served as the pacifier of Nanzhong. He was also listed as the General of Zhennan?

When Liu Pan realized something was wrong, even the envoys he sent to the White Tiger Department were driven back by random sticks.

On the other side, there are also a group of Shanyue people who have mixed into the four counties in Jingnan. However, these people's whereabouts are uncertain. Don't care about them either.

Although Liu Pan condemned Chen Gong for this,... Chen Gong's reasons were very good - those people were not in the same group as the General's Mansion. They had previously cooperated with Mohuken to ambush the Shanyue Allied Forces, and Chen Gong himself almost died. .

Therefore, Chen Gong instead claimed that the Snake Repair Department cooperated with Liu Pan!

Both sides insist on their own opinions, and the people of the Snake Tribe have been moving around. Jingnan is a sparsely populated place, and they always go deep into the mountains and forests, rarely coming out except to plunder supplies, and even... for... To avoid being retaliated against, the Snake Cultivators tried to be as restrained as possible during their raids. Sometimes they would leave after extorting a batch of food and grass, so no one was focused on annihilating them for the time being.

However, after spring, the Yangzhou Army under the supervision of Zhang Liao began to capture cities and territories in Guilin County starting from Linwu County, and Lingling County was even abandoned...

Not to mention the defeat in the war, and Wei Yan's attitude of "see if I'm right" and "make you disobey me" every day, he was resentfully sent by Liu Pan to supervise the transportation of grain and grass.

Not to mention Liu Pan, Huang Zhong was already speechless with Wei Yan's emotional intelligence.

At the same time, as Zhang Liao pressed forward step by step, Huang Zhong could only become entangled and gradually became serious...
