Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Famous Doctors

Jiangdong has also been pacified for the time being. The military strength is increasing day by day, and the prestige is blowing far and near, and Sun Ce's great cause can be said to have reached a new level. "Now is very important. Now, what should I do?" Sun Ce asked himself and answered, "Yes, it's time to pick up my mother." He came up with the answer. Since the death of the pillar Sun Jian, Sun Ce's mother and other family members have lived in the remote countryside of Qu'a for a long time, suffering from various persecutions. Bead curtain Yu, brocade cover car.

He also sent many generals and guards to Qu'a to welcome his mother and other family members. Sun Ce took care of his old mother in Xuancheng, held her hand after a long absence, and said, "You can enjoy your old age with peace of mind. Sun Ce has grown into an adult." The gray-haired old mother was overjoyed, instead she kept sobbing and said: "If the deceased husband is still alive..." Sun Ce said to his younger brother Sun Quan, "I have sent General Zhou Tai to you. You must guard Xuancheng and honor my mother for me." After speaking, he set off again to fight for hegemony in the south.

Every time he captured a place, he first immediately announced the law and order to win the hearts of the people. He upholds the law, saves the poor, supports industries, and severely punishes violators of bad nature. "Sun Ce is here!" With just this sentence, the good people hurriedly gave way and bowed to the side of the road when they heard the sound, but the bad people lost their souls and disappeared after hearing the sound. "Sun Lang loves the people and recruits people of faith." Knowing this, many officials who had abandoned the prefectural and county government cities and fled to the mountains and fields returned to their hometowns one after another, and there was an endless stream of applications for office.

Sun Ce also hired civil servants to make the best use of their talents, so that they would do their best for peace and revival. He also personally marched south in order to ensure security in the future. At that time, Yan Baihu of Wu Jun (where the government is located in today's Suzhou, Jiangsu Province) claimed to be "Eastern Wu Dewang" and was domineering. Hearing that Sun Ce was about to attack, he had already taken the southward route. "Ah! It's terrible!" The whole army was in commotion. Yan Yu, the younger brother of Yan Baihu, sent troops to Fengqiao (near Suzhou, Jiangsu today) to defend.

"A small town!" At this time, Sun Ce came to the front line in person, planning to break through in one fell swoop.Zhang Hong persuaded: "The life of a general is the life of the three armies. You should be in the central army and respect your body given by heaven." "Really?" Sun Ce accepted the advice and ordered General Han to be the vanguard. The two generals Chen Wu and Jiang Qin circled behind Fengqiao in small boats and pinched the enemy.Yan Yu couldn't hold on and retreated into Wucheng. Sun Ce approached Wucheng, not allowing the enemy to take a breather, and immediately moated the riverside, commanding the army to attack.

At this time, from the window of the tall watchtower in Wucheng, a man who looked like a general leaned out half of his body, holding the beam with his left hand, pointing at Sun Ce with his right hand, and yelling foul words. "Damn guy!" Sun Ce looked back and saw that Tai Shici had already bent his bow and set his arrows, aiming intently. Tai Shici's fingers let go of the string, and with a bang, the arrow that left the string hit the beam of the archery tower without leaning to one side or another.And he nailed the hand of a man who looked like an enemy general to the beam.Sun Ce hit the saddle and praised: "Beautiful!" Everyone in the army was impressed by Tai Shici's ability and cheered happily.That momentum has already overwhelmed Wu Cheng.

His hand was nailed to the beam of the archery tower by Tai Shici's beautiful arrow. The general wailed and struggled and said, "Who will quickly pull out this arrow for me?" Soon a soldier ran over, pulled out the arrow, and helped him down. This will be a big joke.But Tai Shici is well-known far and wide, and was praised as: "The best shooter recently!" "How can you be insulted like this!" Yan Baihu, who has been entrenched in Zhejiang for many years and has always called himself "King of Eastern Wu", began to shake his self-confidence for many years.

Look at those who came, the commander-in-chief Sun Ce and his generals are all young and amazing. The group of cutting-edge heroes born in the new era are full of fighting spirit and come together in bridles, which is spectacular. "Yan Yu, I have a plan." He looked back at his younger brother, folded his arms and said. "Any thoughts?" "What do you think? Uh, endure the humiliation for a while, and make peace before you get hurt more deeply." "Surrender?" "Give him the false name, as long as we have the real power. They are young and will not have foresight. After making peace, I have my own way."

Yan Yu, as his brother's peace envoy, soon came to Sun Ce's army. Sun Ce received him and said, "Are you the younger brother of King De of the Eastern Wu? So..." He looked at the envoy's face unceremoniously, and immediately invited someone to set up a banquet, persuading him: "Come on, let's talk while drinking. .” Yan Yu secretly observed, thinking: "He is so brave and heroic. He is worthy of being called the little overlord of Jiangdong, but he is still a child. He is just an idealist. He suddenly got the right time, holding a soldier in his hand, and getting carried away with complacency."

He underestimated his opponent's youth and kept giving Sun Ce a high hat. When the wine was half full, Sun Ce caught him by surprise and asked inexplicably, "You are still indifferent to the matter so far?" "What do you mean by now?" Yan Yu asked back. Sun Ce drew his sword, cut off the leg of his chair, and said, "This is the end of the matter!" Yan Yu fell on his back and turned pale with shock. Sun Ce laughed loudly, and said, "That's why I speak first, but you..." He scolded the fallen party, put away his sword, and stretched out his hand to Yan Yu, who was frightened and pale, and said: " Alright, get up. It's just a drunken game...Emissary of King De of the Eastern Wu, what kind of terms did your elder brother offer me to make peace with Sun Ce? Listen to your intentions."

"Brother said..." Yan Yu endured the pain in his back and regained his dignity and said, "that's...it's better to have a long-term peace with the general and share the land of Jiangdong equally than to fight to no avail and lose the army. This is what my brother meant. " "Equality?!" Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and scolded, "Do you and other contemptible people want to divide and rule Jiangdong with us on an equal footing? You are too self-sufficient! Go back!" Seeing that the reconciliation is not going well, Yan Yu is silent and ready to return.Sun Ce rushed forward from behind, chopped off his head with a knife, and blood spattered everywhere. "Pick it up and go back!" Sun Ce wiped his sword, turned to Yan Yu's followers who were trembling in a corner, pointed at Yan Yu's head that had fallen to the ground, and urged, "Our answer is his head. Wait until you go back, Report the truth to Yan Baihu." The entourage carried the master's head and fled back. When Yan Baihu saw that his younger brother came back with his head in a different place, he was more trembling at Sun Ce's fierce challenge than he wanted to take revenge. "It's dangerous to fight alone," he thought.It's better to retreat to Kuaiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) for the time being, and ask the heroes of Zhejiang to plan a plan. He was terrified, and suddenly abandoned the city and fled in the middle of the night. Tai Shici, Huang Gai and others who were attacking chased after them fiercely and won a complete victory. Yesterday's "Eastern Wu Dewang" is now completely devoid of prestige, and is beaten by pursuers wherever he goes.On the way, he threatened people's families to collect food, avoided the mountains and fields, and finally arrived at Kuaiji. At that time, the prefect of Kuaiji was called Wang Lang.Wang Lang wants to help Yan Baihu, mobilize an army, and try to resist Sun Ce's invasion. One of Wang Langchen's subordinates named Yu Fan and Zhongxiang remonstrated: "The time has come! If you act blindly against the time, you will only kill yourself. Please avoid this battle." "What's the time?" Wang Lang asked. "The time of day is the tide of the times." Zhong Xiang replied before Wang Lang finished speaking. "You mean to tell me to let foreign enemies invade and do nothing?" "Please arrest Yan Baihu, dedicate it to Sun Ce, and make friends with him for safety. This is called following the direction of the times." "Stop talking nonsense! How can Kuaiji Wang Lang flatter Sun Ce? He will become the laughing stock of the world." "No. Sun Ce respects faith and righteousness, widely spreads benevolent government, and has been esteemed by the people recently. In contrast, Yan Baihu is arrogant and extravagant, commits many evil policies, and has not done a single good deed. He is still a man of the old age with conservative thinking. You don't do it Save him, he will also perish with the times." "No, no. Yan Baihu and I have a deep old friendship. Sun Ce is a foreign enemy who disrupts our peace. It is time to join forces to fight against the invading thieves." "Ah, you will also be useless in the next era." Zhongxiang sighed, and Wang Lang was furious. "You bastard, do you want me to perish?! I don't want to see you. Get out!" Wang Lang issued the banishment order. Zhongxiang was willing to go into exile. When he was expelled from the mansion, he didn't bring anything with him, he just murmured: "You don't want to be raised by a master who has no backbone." He carried the skylark out of the cage and left Kuaiji. The turmoil of the times he said to Wang Lang, on the one hand, recruited sages who lived in seclusion in the mountains, and on the other hand, drove many sages who were in the old forces such as the government office and Wufu into the mountains. Zhongxiang was one of the sages who were driven into the mountains. He walked silently on the field, looking for a hermitage. When he came to an unnamed mountain in the countryside, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go back to your hometown too." Saying that, he let the bird in the cage fly into the blue sky. Zhong Xiang smiled and watched the little bird melt into the blue sky.The bird figure he saw was exactly the same as the figure he insisted on living. Just when Zhongxiang released the bird in the cage to the vast sky, in the lower realm, the defenders of Kuaiji City and the attackers like the tide had been fighting fiercely for several days. One day, Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji, opened the city gate, galloped through the battle dust himself, and shouted: "Sun Ce, son of Huangkou! How dare you come to me?!" "Sun Ce is here!" A young general, shaped like a bulbul, came out in response to the sound, with his sword and armor clanging, and came to Wang Lang. "Oh, you are the leader of the unscrupulous youths who disturb the peace of Zhejiang?" Sun Ce didn't listen, and replied: "Old pig! Don't talk too much! You wait for the thieves to suck the people's fat and people's ointment, fatten themselves, and be lazy and greedy. When the army comes, I will drive you out of your proud lair! Open your eyes and sacrifice the city quickly!" Wang Lang was furious, and rushed forward, saying: "Don't talk about yourself!" Sun Ce was about to fight with his halberd, when a bannerman behind him jumped out and said, "General, how can you use the king's sword to kill a pig?" As he said, he pointed his spear at Wang Lang. This person is Tai Shici. Ahhhh... Zhou Xin also leaped out under Wang Lang's banner, and went straight to Taishici. "Hugh is leaving, Wang Lang!" "Take Tai Shi Ci!" "Surround Zhou Xin!" "Catch Sun Ce alive!" The shouts of both sides intertwined, and there was a fierce melee.At some point, the two generals Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu in Sun Ce's army had circled behind them, blocking the retreat.The army in Kuaiji City was in chaos. Wang Lang finally withdrew to the city and saved his life, but suffered heavy losses.After that, he closed the gate of the city tightly, resembling a salamander snail, ordered "don't leave the city rashly", concentrated his troops, concentrated on defense, and remained motionless. Yan Baihu, who fled from Soochow, hid in the city.He also thought: "Sun Jun came from a long way, so after one month, the soldiers and food will be short. They are not suitable for long-term battles. As long as the defense is strengthened, Sun Ce will naturally be at the end of his strength." . Sure enough, Sun Ce was at a loss what to do about it.No matter how challenging it is, the soldiers and horses in the city just don't come out. "The wheat is not yet ripe, and the road to transport grain is far away. Even if we rob the good people's savings and use them as military rations, they will be used up soon, and our righteousness will also exist in name only. What should we do?" "Sun Ce. I have a plan." "Oh, it's uncle. Please tell me your plan." Sun Ce's uncle, Sun Jing, replied, "Do you know that Kuaiji's gold, silver and military rations are not in the city?" "have no idea." "They are all hidden in Chadu, which is dozens of miles away. Therefore, Wang Lang must not just sit back and watch in silence if he suddenly attacks Chadu." "That's right!" Sun Ce accepted his uncle's advice.That night, each camp and village lit many bonfires, raised countless flags, and put on a suspicious strategy, as if they were about to attack Kuaiji City.In fact, the army has turned to Chadu like a gale. The soldiers and horses in Kuaiji City didn't know that it was a suspicious strategy. Seeing that the enemy's bonfire was strong, they stayed up all night and deployed their defenses, saying: "Don't be careless!" One pawn. "Chadu is under attack!" Wang Lang was shocked when he heard the words, so he came out of the city.On the way to Chadu, he encountered Sun Ce's ambush again.Wang Lang's soldiers and horses were finally defeated and wiped out. Wang Lang finally fled in despair, and had to escape to the corner of the sea.On the way to escape to Yuhang (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang), Yan Baihu was drunk by a man named Yuan Dynasty, and his head was cut off while he was asleep. In the Yuan Dynasty, Yan Baihu's head was presented to Sun Ce and received a reward. In this way, Kuaiji City also fell into the hands of Sun Ce, and almost all parts of the south came under his rule.So he appointed his uncle Sun Jing as the lord of Kuaiji, and his confidant Junli as the prefect of Wujun. At this time, the fast horse from Xuancheng reported a small commotion in his house. "One night, the bandits living in Jinye Mountain joined forces with the remnants of the defeated generals from various prefectures, and suddenly attacked Xuancheng. The younger brother Sun Quan and the general Zhou Tai tried their best to defend. In order to save the younger brother Sun Quan who was killed by the bandits, , Zhou Tai did not wear armor, naked body, fought against the thieves, and suffered more than 20 injuries all over his body. Now his injuries are serious and he is on the verge of death." After hearing what the messenger said, Sun Ce hurried back to Xuancheng.The mother he was worried about was safe and sound, but Zhou Tai's injury was more serious than expected, and he suffered day and night for this. "I want to try to save him, what's the trick?" He asked his retainers. The Yuan Dynasty, who previously offered Yan Baihu's head to become a minister, said: "Seven years ago, I was attacked by pirates and was seriously injured by arrows. At that time, Yu Fan of Kuaiji said that there was a famous doctor among his friends who could introduce him to me." After accepting the treatment of that famous doctor, my injury was healed in only 15 days." "Yu Fan, isn't it Zhongxiang?" "You know him." Yuan Dai's eyes widened after hearing Sun Ce's words. "No no. Although that Zhongxiang is Wang Lang's subject, Zhang Hong is recommending him to me, saying that he should be recruited. Please find Zhongxiang quickly, and bring that famous doctor along." "Where is Zhongxiang now?" With Sun Ce's order, officials in all counties were ordered to look for Zhongxiang. Zhongxiang had just returned to the mountains and was found again soon.Hearing Sun Ce's order, he said: "If you can save someone's life..." Then he accompanied his doctor and friend and quickly came to Xuancheng. As expected of Zhongxiang's friend, that doctor is also different. He is an old man, but with white hair and childlike face, he is extraordinary and refined. Holding a bouquet of white flowers in his hand, like wild roses, he smelled them as he walked.Judging by his expression, it seems that he has come to a place where the smell of the world is strong, and he is nostalgic for the fragrance of the wild. Sun Ce received him and asked his name, and he replied, "Hua Tuo." He said that he was born in Qiao County, Peiguo, and he was characterized.Although he has a family background, he doesn't want to say more. He saw the patient on the spot, and said to himself, "It will probably take a month." Sure enough, within a month, Zhou Tai's wound healed, as if it had been wiped away. Sun Ce was very happy and said, "You are really a famous doctor!" Hua Tuo smiled and said: "You are also a famous doctor who governs the country. But the treatment is a bit rough..." "Do you want any reward?" Sun Ce asked. "Nothing! As long as you hire Zhongxiang, I will be grateful." Hua Tuo replied.
