Han Dao world

Seeing Liu Xie staring into the distance and remaining silent for a while, Xun Wenqian felt uneasy, thinking that Liu Xie was dissatisfied with her answer, but she did not respond because of her status or taboo.

Such an answer can express disapproval without causing direct conflict. It is a common reaction of gentlemen who are harmonious but different, and Xun Wenqian has been used to it since she was a child.Only the kind of close friends who are cited as confidantes, or scholars with a straightforward temperament, will speak out.

But after thinking about it over and over again, she still couldn't think of which sentence she said was wrong, so she could only keep it in her heart silently.

Liu Xie was immersed in his own thoughts, and did not notice the change in Xun Wenqian's mood.

Until Cao Ang, the servant of Sanqi, galloped to the foot of the mountain.

"Let's go, we have something to do." Liu Xie reached out to hold Xun Wenqian, his movements were calm, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Xun Wenqian looked at him suspiciously, but stretched out her hand naturally, and it fell into Liu Xie's hand.When he reacted, his feet had already moved down with Liu Xie.

"There is no way to see the scenery in front of you, and you can steal half a day of leisure." Liu Xie said with a smile: "If you have time in the future, you should come out more often."

"Wei." Xun Wenqian responded, and then said, "Did Your Majesty just write a poem?"

Liu Xie tilted his head and thought for a while, then laughed dumbly.

In fact, he doesn't know how to write poems, but occasionally he feels something, and he just pops a few famous lines.The two lines just now are definitely not in the same poem, and he is not even sure if they were written by the same person.

As time goes by, he and the real Liu Xie are gradually indistinguishable from each other, and the poems he used to memorize for pretense are now gradually blurred.

"how do you feel?"

"Okay, it's a pity that my concubine's literature is limited, so I don't know what is good about it." Xun Wenqian raised his voice, "Ling Shi, have you heard of His Majesty's new poems?"

Not far away, Cai Yan looked back with an excited expression. "Your Majesty is composing poetry again?"

Seeing this, Xun Wenqian gently broke free from Liu Xie's hand, and asked Liu Xie to go down the mountain first, because she wanted to watch Cai Yan paint.Liu Xie didn't force her, told her to be careful, and went down the mountain on her own.

Xun Wenqian walked behind Cai Yan, looked at the sketch she had just outlined, and praised: "Ling Shi is really versatile. He is good at calligraphy and painting."

"Morality, benevolence and art, art is the last, not worth it." Cai Yan disagrees. "In terms of painting, my paper is full of landscapes, and it is not as good as Hua Taiyi's paper of human body."

"What kind of human body diagram?" Xun Wenqian asked curiously.

"It seems that the nobleman hasn't been to the camp for a few days." Cai Yan laughed and explained while writing. "The Imperial Medical Office has recruited many new apprentices. Imperial Physicians Ji and Imperial Physicians Hua have no time to guide them, so they write their medical skills as handouts, so that the apprentices can learn by themselves from time to time. Among them, Imperial Physician Hua drew many pictures with his own handwriting on the parts of the human body. List them one by one, so that the apprentices can cast spells on the map..."

Xun Wenqian was stunned. "How can such a picture be compared with Lingshi's Danqing?"

"No." Cai Yan stopped the pen and pointed to the painting in front of him. "My painting is just a whitewash. It doesn't matter if there is more or less. It can even be fabricated from the wall. But the human body drawing can't be corrupted, otherwise the teaching is wrong. Not only will it not save people in the future, but it will kill their lives." .”

Cai Yan paused, and then said in a low voice: "I heard that in order to draw these pictures, Imperial Physician Hua dissected dozens of human bodies alone."

"Anatomy?"

"It is to cut open the skin and flesh of a person, decompose them one by one, and then draw the flesh and blood into a picture. It is said that in order to understand the heartbeat, he also dissected two living people. One was opened from the front chest, and the other was opened from the back... ..."

Xun Wenqian was startled, her face turned pale. "Ling Shi, stop talking."

Cai Yan glanced at Xun Wenqian in surprise, and suddenly realized that she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xun Wenqian looked at Cai Yan anxiously. "Ling Shi, you... don't you think it's scary?"

There was a trace of fear in Cai Yan's eyes.After a while, she said lightly, "I've seen something scarier than this."

-

When Liu Xie went down the mountain, Cao Ang greeted him and saluted, saying that it was Han Sui, the general of Zhenxi, who asked to see him.

Liu Xie got on his horse and returned to the camp.

Han Sui waited outside the tent, with no personal guards around him.Seeing Liu Xie approaching, he bowed and saluted from a distance with a respectful demeanor.Seeing this, Liu Xie had an idea in his heart.

If you are polite to others, you must ask for something.Han Sui, who was always arrogant and conceited, was suddenly so polite, he must have something embarrassing to ask for instructions.

Liu Xie entered the account, ordered someone to prepare hot tea, and asked Han Sui to sit down.

When marching in cold winter, it is inconvenient to sit on the ground, so Maza is used.The monarch and his ministers sat opposite each other, each holding a cup of hot tea, drinking and talking, but it was also enjoyable.After a few gossips, Liu Xie asked about the situation ahead.

Han Sui quickly put down his teacup, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty Tianwei, Song Jian knew the fate as soon as the army arrived, and sent someone to come down. I dare not make my own claims, so I specially ask for an edict."

Liu Xie lowered his eyelids and took a shallow sip of tea.

I knew it was no good for this old boy to take the initiative to come to the door, and he really caused me a problem.

Song Jian didn't surrender early or late, and asked to surrender as soon as the army arrived. How could it be so easy?This is clearly a tacit bargain.

Otherwise, why didn't you come directly to me to ask for surrender, but went to find you, General Han?

"What does Han Qing think of Song Jian's request to surrender?"

"Your Majesty, I think that Song Jian is just a poor man who is not close to moral education and does not know etiquette. Although he is a Han Chinese, he is actually no different from those barbarians in the mountains. He thought he had fought with Duan Gong for several years and had some knowledge, so he I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, occupying this small city of Fanghan, and establishing myself as the king. It is ridiculous to argue with him. Moreover, in this vast mountain, there are countless rulers and hegemons, and they cannot be wiped out one by one. Since he If you know your way back and ask for surrender, Your Majesty might as well spare him and let him live."

Liu Xie was noncommittal. After a while, he raised his head and put down his teacup.

"Han Qing and Song Jian are old friends?"

The smile on Han Sui's face was a little unnatural. "So we can't talk, and we have met a few times. He is closer to Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others. In the past few years, because of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou's affairs, he has lost contact with his ministers, and has little contact. "

"Oh, that's how it is." Liu Xie said lightly: "Then you don't have to care about him. The court has its own system. Those who besiege and then surrender will not be pardoned. If he volunteers to surrender, his crime can be reduced by one level, and he does not need to be punished by the family. Only punish the chief villain, and the others are not officials and servants."

Han Sui's face changed slightly, and he said immediately: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, Song Jian may not surrender, so he can only attack by force."

Liu Xie raised his eyelids. "Hasn't Han Qing prepared for a strong attack?"

Han Sui wanted to argue a few words, but when he saw Liu Xie's eyes, his back felt chills, and he quickly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Called tens of thousands of soldiers from the county, held a military parade, and drove hundreds of miles to Fanghan. If he said that he was not prepared for a strong attack, then he would be suspected of disobedience.

Compared with his own wealth, Song Jian's life and death are not important, nor are the sacrifices of soldiers.

Han Sui made a decision instantly. "I'm stupid, I just replied to Song Jian."

Liu Xie stopped talking and lowered his eyelids again.

Han Sui looked embarrassed, got up to leave, and stepped back out of the big tent.Standing outside the imperial tent, when Han Sui turned around, he took a peek at Jia Xu's tent next to him. After hesitating for a moment, he dismissed the idea of ​​asking Jia Xu for advice, and strode out of the camp.

Chapter 434 Unconventional

Han Sui returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, recruited Han Yin and Cheng Gongying, and conveyed the emperor's oral edict.

Han Yin became anxious immediately. "How could Song Jian surrender under such conditions?"

"If you don't surrender, you will be killed." Han Sui's face sank like water. "Prepare for a strong attack. After capturing the city, not only will he die, but his entire family will die."

"Siege will kill people." Han Yin became anxious, and his voice became louder. "I don't know when the preparations will be completed for this icy and snowy mountain logging. If not, I will have to spend the New Year on the battlefield. Ah Weng, are you not afraid of opposition from various ministries?"

Han Sui took the case against him. "Shut up! Do you think I don't know this? The emperor refuses to accept surrender, what can I do?"

Seeing that Han Sui was angry, Han Yin faltered.He knew Han Sui's temper, if he hadn't been in a hurry, he would never have lost his composure like this.No matter how much you talk back, it is possible to slap him in the face in public.

Han Yin secretly glanced at Cheng Gongying, hoping that Cheng Gongying could persuade Han Sui.A strong attack is definitely not a good way, not even the original plan.Otherwise, they wouldn't spend so much time on the road, or even send troops now, but wait until next spring.

To siege a city requires the preparation of a large number of siege equipment, all of which must be cut and built on the spot, and it will not take a month to get it done.

But now that there are only a few days left before the New Year, accepting Song Jian's surrender is the most worry-free way.

Celebrating the new year on the battlefield is definitely not an ideal choice.All battalions will come to beg for wine, meat and rewards, which is a huge expense.If Song Jian's surrender is accepted, Song Jian can bear all these expenses, and Han Sui can still make a fortune from it.Now Han Sui has to bear it himself, which is tantamount to letting Han Sui cut his flesh.

Cheng Gongying frowned and said nothing.

After a while, Cheng Gongying said: "Does the general hope that after this battle, he can lead the army to march east?"

Annoyed, Han Sui nodded.

Cheng Gongying is a confidant, there is no need to hide it, and he can't hide it.After the emperor gave him a promise, he revealed the news to Cheng Gongying, even before Han Yin.

"Since that's the case, why don't you treat Yanhan as the city of Ye and have a real review?"

Han Sui rolled his eyes, thoughtful.He motioned Cheng Gongying to continue.

Cheng Gongying made two points: the biggest enemy of the emperor is Yuan Shao.Although Yuan Shao did not claim the title of king or emperor, his heart of disobedience was obvious.Yecheng is equivalent to his royal city.If you want to take Yuan Shao, you must attack Yecheng.

Yecheng is strong, and attacking Yecheng will be an arduous battle, which will test the general's command ability.

When Huangfusong and others pacified the Yellow Turban, the field battle was overwhelming, but they encountered great troubles when they attacked the city.Zhu Jun attacked Wancheng, and Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song attacked Guangzong, all of which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.Lu Zhi was also dismissed because of ineffective siege.

It is recognized that the Xiliang army is good at field warfare and not good at attacking cities.

The emperor refused Song Jian's request to surrender, not necessarily to make things difficult, but to see Han Sui's ability to attack the city.

Of course, there may be another intention, to see if Han Sui really contributes to the court.

Song Jian and Han Sui are not old friends.If Han Sui refused to be cruel to Song Jian, how could the emperor trust Han Sui?

After listening to Gongying's analysis, Han Sui slapped his thigh. "Yuan Wei, I think so too." Immediately he shouted at Han Yin: "Zhu Zi, learn a lot, don't shout and kill at every turn, use your rock-like brain."

Han Yin was scolded inexplicably.But he was used to it and shrugged as if nothing had happened.

When Han Sui saw this, he became even angrier, and couldn't help but think of Jia Xu's words.

With Han Yin's incompetent appearance, the Han family may really have to rely on the help of their daughter and son-in-law if they want to grow rich.

Han Sui ordered people to enter the city to spread the word, ordering Song Jian to surrender unconditionally, and at the same time summoned the generals to prepare for a strong attack.

Just as Han Yin was worried, when he heard that there might be a strong attack on Fanghan, all the generals showed embarrassment.

Han Sui had been prepared for a long time, and promised that after the city was broken, the spoils would be distributed according to the credit.Before breaking the city, he will provide enough wine and meat for all the soldiers to ensure that everyone will have a good year.

Seeing Han Sui's generosity, all the generals were a little surprised.

Han Sui was not a rough man like Dong Zhuo, who could slaughter the family's cattle and entertain guests.He has always calculated carefully, on the premise of not losing money.With such a large amount of money now, even if he wins the city of Fanghan, he will not be able to recoup the cost, so he will be at a loss.

Unreasonable.

Han Sui also knew that his behavior was abnormal, but he couldn't explain it, he could only show it with practical actions.

He distributed a batch of wine and meat that day to boost morale.Immediately afterwards, he discussed with the tribal leaders in the nearby valley to buy a large amount of cattle and sheep from them, and recruited Li Shen, the prefect of Longxi, and asked him to send someone back to Didao to purchase a large amount of supplies.

With the wine and meat, the morale of the camp suddenly rose, and there was joy in the camp, and scenes of singing and dancing could be seen everywhere.

In contrast, the emperor's imperial camp seemed a little deserted. The soldiers continued to train, study, and perform their duties as usual, and there were not too many changes due to the approach of the new year.

-

Liu Xie bent down and walked into the central tent of the Imperial Medical Office.

Standing in the center of the large tent, Hua Tuo was dissecting a sheep under the light of a few tallow candles. Both arms were covered in blood, and the leather apron between the chest and abdomen was also stained red with blood.He said while dissecting, and there were two young men next to him, one was working hard to draw a picture, and the other was recording Hua Tuo's explanation.

More than a dozen people gathered in a circle, each holding a pen and paper in their hands, while listening to the memo, all of them stretched their necks, opened their eyes wide, and concentrated, without noticing that Liu Xie appeared behind them.

"For doctors, sheep intestines are the most precious." Hua Tuo carefully lifted a piece of sheep intestines. "The wound is sutured with suture made from sheep intestines. After the wound recovers, it is not necessary to remove the stitches, and it can avoid a second laparotomy when dealing with visceral injuries. Even when dealing with trauma, if the wound is too large to be sutured, the sheep can also be used. The intestines were cut open, covered the wound, and then bandaged with a clean cloth..."

"So that's the case." A young apprentice laughed. "The next time a sheep is slaughtered, no one is allowed to eat the intestines."

The others laughed too.

A young apprentice raises his hand to ask a question. "Doctor Hua, the cow is bigger, can the intestines be used?"

"It might work, but I haven't tried it yet, so I can't give you an accurate answer." Hua Tuo put the intestines on a plate aside. "If you have a chance, you can try it. But before experimenting, you must learn how to deal with sheep intestines and cow intestines. If you don't handle them well, even sheep intestines will cause wounds to fester."

"Why does the wound fester? Is it because sheep are livestock and are not suitable for use on humans?"

"The specific reason needs to be investigated. What I can tell you now is only the method I have found out, and it is a feasible method." Hua Tuo said while dissecting: "You should remember that medicine is a practical knowledge. There are many medical skills. It's all learned from practice, and there is no ready-made reason for you to follow. So, don't be superstitious about anyone. Whether I am good or Ji Ling, there may be mistakes. If you find something that we haven't talked about Things, even the opposite, don’t be afraid, just try to prove it with your heart. As long as it works, it’s right.”

Chapter 435

Liu Xie listened and blurted out. "Physician Hua said well, he is a man of insight."

Before everyone could react, they subconsciously agreed.

Hua Tuo turned his head and saw that it was Liu Xie. He was taken aback and was about to put down the knife in his hand when Liu Xie shook his hand at him, motioning him to continue.Hua Tuo was surprised, but also a little inexplicably excited.After hesitating for a moment, he accepted Liu Xie's suggestion and continued to explain.

With the Son of Heaven listening, Hua Tuo’s emotions became even more agitated. Not only did his voice clear, but the content of his speech was also wonderful, which made the apprentices on the side mesmerized.

Xun Wenqian followed Liu Xie. She was a little scared when she saw the bloody scene, but after hearing it, she felt something was wrong.

Liu Xie came to listen to Hua Tuo's lecture because she conveyed what Cai Yan said. She heard that Hua Tuo dissected a living person, and wanted to ask what happened.Now after listening to Hua Tuo's explanation of medical skills, it is not difficult to see that he is deviant, but Liu Xie listened with great interest, not only did not get angry, but praised him greatly.

This is a bit worrying.

If Liu Xie's thoughts are in line with what Hua Tuo said, that would not be a good thing.

Hua Tuo said that medicine is a practical knowledge, and medical books are gradually accumulated, and there are no sage classics.According to this statement, are the sage's classics still meaningful for governing the country, and is it possible to realize the kingly way proposed by the sage?

Some things seem to make sense, but as soon as they are deduced, they know that the problem is serious.

Xun Wenqian was both worried and uneasy, but she didn't say anything, she just stood beside the emperor quietly, interlocking her fingers.

Liu Xie felt her hands were cold and looked back at her.

Xun Wenqian smiled and shook her head, holding Liu Xie's hand even tighter.Liu Xie lifted the cloak, put Xun Wenqian's hand inside, and pressed it against his chest.Xun Wenqian not only felt Liu Xie's warmth, but also Liu Xie's heartbeat, playfully broke away from Liu Xie, and moved her hand to Liu Xie's heart.
