System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

If they cannot control such an important city, then they naturally cannot easily hand it over to others, otherwise it will become a stumbling block for their future Northern Expedition.

"I don't know how General Huang and his men are doing. Can they successfully burn down the enemy camp?"

"If it works, it can buy us a lot of time."

Zhou Yu looked towards the north and said with some concern.

"Should it work?"

"Dong's army has lived in the north for a long time and is unfamiliar with naval warfare. They will certainly not be able to anticipate our army's strategy."

Sun Ce said hesitantly.

Huang Gai and his men were indeed successful.

Moreover, it went eastward from the Huai River and entered the Zhongdu River, preparing to enter the Yangtze River estuary from the Zhongdu River and return to Jiangdong.

The plan was good, but one issue was overlooked.

Zhongdushui is located in Guangling County and almost runs through the entire Guangling.

If Zhongdushui was a wide river, perhaps Guangling County would be unable to do anything to them.

After all, it was so fast that they couldn't catch up.

However, Zhongdushui is an artificial canal that has been in disrepair for a long time.

If rivers and canals are not dredged regularly, a large amount of silt will accumulate in the waterway, making it difficult to navigate and even risking a grounding.

Why didn’t the prefect of Guangling County dredge the waterway?

Because Chen Deng is not an idiot.

Guangling County has no chance of attacking Jiangdong, but once the Zhongdu River is dredged, Jiangdong will have the opportunity to attack Guangling.

How could Chen Deng do something that would benefit others?

"Ugh~~"

“Ugh~~Ugh~~!”

Chen Deng leaned on the table and vomited violently.

The vomit was mixed with wriggling worms, which made people feel nauseous at the sight.

"Ugh~~"

"Master, there's no need to vomit anymore. You've almost vomited enough."

Hua Tuo looked at Chen Deng who was vomiting at the desk and couldn't help but speak.

"No... there's nothing in there."

"It's me who wants to vomit when I see this thing."

As Chen Deng spoke, he couldn't help but dry heave twice.

"Hurry, hurry, someone come and clean up the things."

The servants quickly cleaned up the vomit.

Only after the servants cleaned up did Chen Deng stop retching.

"Thank you so much, doctor."

"It's just a small gift, I hope the genius doctor won't refuse it."

Chen Deng cupped his hands and said with gratitude.

As he spoke, Chen Deng pushed a small wooden box in front of Hua Tuo.

After opening it, several precious medicinal herbs with rich medicinal fragrance were revealed.

Hua Tuo was actually a fellow villager of Cao Cao.

However, since Pei State was closer to Xuzhou, Hua Tuo traveled around Xuzhou for many years.

Chen Deng, who had long heard of Hua Tuo's name, naturally understood Hua Tuo's character, so he did not prepare any gold or silver, but instead asked someone to purchase a few herbs.

"Hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, this ginseng is probably hundreds of years old, and there's also this snow lotus from Western Shu, and this most precious ambergris..."

"No, that's unacceptable."

"These things are priceless. I just did a little bit of work. How can I accept such a generous gift?"

Although Hua Tuo had desire in his eyes, he still refused repeatedly.

Too expensive.

After so many years in the martial arts world, he knew too well that the more valuable something is, the less likely it is to be taken lightly.

If you take it, you owe someone a favor.

Others may owe him, but he cannot owe others, otherwise it will be difficult for him to be open and honest when walking in the world.

"Could it be that in Divine Doctor Hua's mind, my life is not worth a few medicinal herbs?"

Chen Deng stroked his short beard and asked with a smile.

"It's incomparable. Although Governor Chen has only been in office for a short time, he has repeatedly implemented benevolent policies and the people have many words of praise for him."

"By healing Governor Chen, I have healed countless people in Guangling."

"This is an act of kindness and accumulating virtue. I have already done merit, so how can I ask for a reward?"

Hua Tuo waved his hands repeatedly and refused again.

Unlike other places, Buddhism is flourishing in Xuzhou and there are many temples, so the people of Xuzhou are more or less influenced by it.

"These herbs are in the hands of Dr. Hua and can save more people."

"But in the hands of ordinary people, it is just a few supplements."

"It is not my wish to have a pearl covered in dust."

"I only hope that the miracle doctor can use these herbs to treat more of the poor people in the world, and also accumulate some merit for me."
