Chapter 1022 The Banner of Heroes in Troubled Times Unrolled
The eldest princess resolutely objected, she was not in the mood to ask about these matters at all, she only knew to stay by Li Hong's side, guarding Li Hong day and night, lest he suddenly leave her.

Huang Da went to beg Mrs. Xiaoyu and Mrs. Fengxue again.When Feng Xue heard that she was going to disembowel her belly, she immediately refused. She had never heard of this kind of treatment method. Compared with it, she believed in the witchcraft of the grassland people and the Taoism of the people of the Central Plains.Xiaoyu hesitated for a long time, and asked, "Have you ever cured people with this method?" Huang Da was stopped by this question. I have seen the master use this method to treat people." Xiao Yu sighed, looking disappointed.

Huang Da hurriedly explained, "Ma'am, the master usually treats people with medicines, supplemented by acupuncture. If the lesions are concentrated inside, acupuncture and medicine can't reach them, and the abdomen and back must be cut and accumulated. Like the general For serious illnesses where the focus is on the intestines and stomach, it is necessary to cut off the jian (jian) and wash to remove the disease, then suture the wound and apply the ointment, so that the wound will heal within four to five days. If all goes well, it will take more than one Yue will be cured." Huang Da said earnestly, bowing and pleading, "Madam, please believe me, I will be able to cure the general. When the master healed this serious illness, I was the one who helped him. , I know exactly what to do."

Xiao Yu sighed, distressed, and said nothing.Huang Da begged bitterly, "Ma'am, the general's illness cannot be delayed any longer. If it continues, his days are numbered. Instead of watching him die helplessly, it is better to give me a chance. God will bless the general." , he won't die, absolutely not."

Xiao Yu was moved.Sitting and waiting is not the answer after all, you have to give it a try. "Are you really sure?" Xiao Yu asked.

Huang Da nodded without hesitation, "Mabeisan is needed to relieve the pain of the patient, but Mafeisan is a special drug made by the master. I don't have it, so I haven't dared to make this suggestion. My friend Changle Taoist arrived in Jinyang yesterday , He has Mafeisan in his hand. As long as he has Mafeisan, I can cure the general. Madam, will you give me this chance?"

Xiao Yu was silent for a long time, and decided to take a risk, "Please Zi Jian to make preparations, and I will persuade the eldest princess."

Huang Da was overjoyed and left in a hurry.

Xiaoyu invited Lu Bu, the general of the left guard, Yan Wuwei, the general of Fuguo, Xu Huang, the general of Duliao, Zhang Baiqi, the governor of Bingzhou, Shi Huangyue, the governor of the eldest princess's house, and other civil and military ministers to ask for their opinions.Hearing the news, Liu Bao, the Xiongnu grand dan who rushed to Jinyang, was also invited to the Jinyang Marquis Mansion.

"This can also cure diseases?" Liu Bao's expression changed immediately when he heard that he was going to "cut open the belly" of the general. "Ma'am, is that what the traitor said? I'm going to cut off his head. No, absolutely not." .” Yan Wuwei and Zhang Baiqi also objected repeatedly.

Lu Bu, Xu Huang, and Huang Yue supported Mrs. Xiaoyu's suggestion.

"In the Central Plains, Jianghuai and Jingxiang areas, Master Hua Tuo and his disciples often treat people like this, and I heard that the effect is very good." Lu Bu said, "Although the healing methods are a bit sensational, but having said that, people here We have reached this point, we have to fight no matter what, we can't just watch the general die."

"I've made a decision." Xiao Yu said very resolutely, "I invite you here mainly to seek your support and help me persuade the eldest princess and Feng Xue together. Now that the two of them disagree, you all go to persuade them .”

The persuasion of the ministers had no effect.The eldest princess was distraught and determined not to follow.Lu Bu said, let's seek the opinion of the general, and we will do whatever he says.

Li Hong agreed without hesitation, but the eldest princess frightened the confident Huang Da, "If something happens to the general, I will destroy your nine clans."

Huang Da plucked up the courage to go, but the others quit.Wang Zhen, Xi Jian, Fei Changfang and others were worried that Huang Da would put the general to death, which would affect Chi Yu, and they all spoke out to stop them. Not only did they not help, they even dragged their feet.The eldest princess and Feng Xue stayed by the general's side day and night, lest Huang Da "cut open" the general.

Li Hong's condition became more and more serious, and he even began to fall into a coma.The eldest princess has no master, and she is in chaos.

At this time, Xu Rong, the great Sima of Chang'an, told the eldest princess that the situation in Chang'an was very tense, and the eldest princess must try her best to prolong the life of the general, at least until the beginning of December, so that she would have enough time to rush to the west to gather the army. Complete the deployment of Gongwei Gyeonggi.

Two days later, Jia Xu, the general of the Chinese army, urgently wrote to Jinyang that the battle of Nanyang was of great importance, and the army must capture Wancheng to help the little emperor fight. It takes time to gather troops and stockpile food and grass. Please don't worry about it. How to save the life of the general to stabilize the morale of the army.Even if the general dies of illness unfortunately, he must do his best to conceal the news until the end of the Nanyang War.Jia Xu said that His Majesty will lead the army to attack Nanyang around mid-November. If all goes well, the Nanyang War is expected to end within three to four months. That is to say, at least the general must live until April next year. Left and right, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable.

The eldest princess was driven to a dead end, she had no choice but to pin all her hopes on the imperial physician Ling Huang Da.

Li Hong sat up with the support of Xiaoyu and Fengxue, and the eldest princess handed a bottle of medicinal wine to his mouth.Li Hong sniffed it lightly, with a smile on his face, "Is this wine?"

"This is Mafeisan. After swallowing it with wine, you won't know the pain." Huang Da bowed aside and said, "General, it may still hurt a little later, but you must bear it."

"It still hurts?" The princess frowned, "Then take more Mafeisan."

"Don't take too much." Huang Da waved his hands repeatedly, "The main ingredient of Mafeisan is scopolamine (dang) seeds, if you eat too much, it will make you go crazy, or even insane. This amount is enough, we can't add more."

The eldest princess was anxious, tears rolled out uncontrollably, "Huang Zijian, can you do it?"

Huang Da lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, his whole body was dripping with cold sweat.

"I believe in him..." Li Hong looked at the eldest princess and whispered, "I promise you, I will definitely do it, I won't die..."

The eldest princess cried even harder, and almost knocked over the medicinal wine in her hand.Feng Xue held her in his arms, and the two women cried together.With tears in her eyes, Xiao Yu took the medicinal wine and fed it into Li Hong's mouth bit by bit.

Lu Bu, Yan Wuwei and others walked in.Li Hong smiled at them, "During the Chinese New Year, let's get drunk again."

Lu Bu and the others fell to their knees in unbearable grief.

As the sun was setting, Huang Da, with the support of several medical craftsmen, finally appeared staggeringly in front of everyone, "I succeeded, the general is still alive, he is still alive..."

The eldest princess, Xiao Yu and Feng Xue wept with joy.Lu Bu, Yan Wuwei, Zhang Baiqi and other civil and military officials clapped their hands and cheered in unison.

However, the general's condition did not improve. On the contrary, high fever and coma followed one after another, and the situation became more and more dangerous. Just when people were desperate, a piece of good news came. Master Xiangkai came. Appeared in Jinyang City.

"I can only temporarily stabilize the general's condition so that it will not deteriorate further." Master Xiangkai said helplessly, "If you want to cure him, you must find Hua Tuo or Zhang Ji. In today's world, apart from the two of them, I'm afraid no one will be able to save the general again."

The eldest princess burst into tears.

"My child, the general will not die." Grandmaster Xiangkai persuaded, "I used to watch the sky at night, and found that Ziwei star is getting brighter day by day, and Wuqu star is still dazzling although its light is slightly dimmed. , and the general will also turn danger into good luck."

Master Xiangkai was famous all over the world, his words gave everyone a lot of confidence, but facing the facts, everyone still felt heavy and fearful.

Two days later, Lei Zhong, the general of the rebels in Yuzhou, sent an urgent report with a fast ride of [-] miles. Master Hua Tuo found it, and Master Zhang Ji was also very lucky to fall into the hands of the Han army. Now the two masters are traveling northward to Jinyang day and night .

The eldest princess was ecstatic.Yan Wuwei and Xu Huang each brought a thousand cavalry and galloped to Huguan to meet them.

Under October, Chang'an.

The emperor decreed that Xu Rong, the great Sima, inspected the western borders, and Zhao Yun, the general of hussars, led the general's military and the minister's desk to act as an agent of state affairs.

This edict immediately shocked Chang'an, and within a short period of time, rumors that the general had passed away quietly spread throughout Chang'an.

On October 22, Zhao Yun led some civil and military ministers to bid farewell to Xu Rong at Shili Changting.

"Jinyang keeps secret about the general's condition, and His Majesty asked you to act as an agent of state affairs. To some extent, this is tantamount to admitting that the general is no longer good." Xu Rong looked back at Chang'an City and sighed, "Zilong, you Can you control Chang'an?"

Zhao Yun's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his eyes showed determination, "The Great Sima went to the western border in person without hesitation, and used Xiliang's iron cavalry to deter Guanzhong. There must be no worries in the capital."

Xu Rong looked at him in surprise, "Are you so confident?"

Zhao Yun smiled confidently, "What orders does Da Sima have?"

Xu Rong pondered for a while, then looked at Lieutenant Zhang Yan who was chatting with Zhang He and Zhu Mu in the distance, and said in a low voice: "The little emperor abandoned Chang'an and insisted on mobilizing an army to attack Nanyang. The purpose is self-evident. But one of the purposes is obviously to create opportunities for Chang'an to get rid of the crisis. The purpose of my trip to Xijiang is also the same. Given the current situation in Xijiang, it can only deter Chang'an, and cannot support Chang'an with force. Once Chang'an is in chaos, I will first Ensure that the Xiliang army is not chaotic and the stability of the western border can be ensured, and then the capital can be taken into account. But even if I want to go east to support, I will be constrained by the serious shortage of food and supplies, and I will not be able to defend the capital with all my strength. The opportunity created by the emperor has become the key to solving the crisis in Chang'an."

Zhao Yun nodded, followed Xu Rong's gaze to look at Zhang Yan, "Master Taiwei always thought that after you left, His Majesty would let the Prime Minister act as an agent of state affairs. Now it suddenly becomes me, what will he think?"

"Feiyan's background restricts his opportunities to display his talents. He has a clear understanding of this, and will not have any conflicts with you." Xu Rong smiled slightly, "Zilong, you are still worrying about the matter of Chang'an's military remonstrance. Is Master Taiwei still grudges?"

Zhao Yun laughed it off.Xu Rong gave him a meaningful look, and said slowly, "I went to Xijiang for another reason. I have a special relationship with Feiyan and Xizhi (Yang Feng). It is very inappropriate for me to stay in Chang'an at this time."

Zhao Yun understood and bowed down to be taught.

On October 24, the eldest princess wrote to the court that under the careful treatment of the imperial physician Ling Huang Da, the general's condition was effectively controlled. In addition, Master Xiangkai arrived in Jinyang, and Master Hua Tuo was also traveling northward day and night. The body is expected to recover.

The news excited the court, and the rumors about the general's death proved self-evident.

On the same day, Zhao Yun, with Xu Shao and Xiao Lan as special envoys, went north to Jinyang to visit the general on behalf of the imperial court, and ordered Zhang Liao, captain of Sili, and He Lin, captain of Chengmen, to lead a thousand guards to escort the two to Pubanjin, and then the governor of Hedong Yuan Ba ​​sent people to escort them to Jinyang.

In the days that followed, Zhao Yun, the imperial historian Xun You, Ting Weiqing and Chen Qun frequently met with powerful families and wealthy merchants, and reappointed Dong Zhao, Liu Yi and other Yanzhou celebrities, Xin Pi, Wang Lang, Hua Xin, Han Song, etc. Yang Xiu, Gao Tanglong and other ministers were promoted one after another, Qu Zhong and other deposed bureaucrats also re-entered the official office, Kong Rong, Zhang Miao and other former disciples and former officials of Qingyan Great Confucianism were also recruited in large numbers. towards.

Zhao Yunzuo invited the emperor, Nanyang was defeated, Yang Feng, Yuan Yao, Wang Dang and other ministers should bear the inescapable responsibility and must be punished severely.The Son of Heaven is ready to dismiss Yang Feng's Chariot General, Yuan Yao's Pingnan General, Wang Dang's Longxiang General, and the rest of the generals will be demoted.

Zhao Yun said again that at the beginning, Da Sima and Taiwei strongly opposed the attack on Nanyang, but the Prime Minister Li Wei firmly supported it, and the Prime Minister was jointly and severally responsible for Nanyang's defeat.The Son of Heaven reprimanded Prime Minister Li Wei for pleading guilty, fined him for one year, and deprived him of the right to participate in official affairs.

Zhao Yun then continued to make a statement, saying that today the son is in charge, so he should centralize power in Shangshutai and reduce the number of ministers who assist the prime minister.The son of heaven will play, and the Taifu Liu He, Taiwei Zhang Yan, and Yushi doctor Xun You will be exempted from the right to participate in the affairs of Li Shangshu.State affairs are handled by Grand Sima Xu Rong, Hushi General Zhao Yun, and Shang Shuling Tian Chou.

After this imperial decree arrived in Chang'an, everyone in the court was shocked.Within a few days, Zhao Yun even made heavy moves to monopolize the power.

In November, before the court ministers woke up, Zhao Yun successively issued orders to recruit troops in the name of the Son of Heaven.

Zhong Yao, the general who conquered the south, immediately went south to Yuzhou to command the first-line troops in Luyang and Wuyang.

The left general Yan Liang led [-] southern troops out of Wuguan immediately, ready to attack Nanyang.General Yu Du led the Northern Army of the Fourth Battalion to withdraw from the Longnan battlefield immediately, and rushed to Wuguan to join General Yan Liang.

Removed Zhang Xiu from the post of prefect of Hongnong, worshiped him as General Jianwu, and asked him to rush to Luoyang to join Wen Chou, the right general, and lead the army to attack Nanyang with the emperor.

He ordered General Yang Hua of the Louchuan to lead the main force of the navy to move eastward, to join the Qingji Navy in Bohai Laizhou Bay, Qingzhou, to expand and train the Dahan Navy, and prepare to recover Jiangdong.

Taking advantage of the emperor's attack on Nanyang, Zhao Yun mobilized all the troops in the Gyeonggi area, and Chang'an and Luoyang were all gone.

Prime Minister Li Wei, Taiwei Zhang Yan and other ministers objected in unison.
"Your Majesty wants to fight to build power, how can we attack Nanyang without troops?" Zhao Yun blocked their mouths with one sentence.
