Hearing the soldier's words, Huo Guang immediately questioned: "Nonsense, my brother is invincible and in good health, how could he fall ill?"
It's early 117 AD!
Huo Qubing in history did happen this year.
Previously, Huo Guang thought that changing Huo Qubing's murder of Li Gan would change his brother's fate.
Why is it that this year, my brother is still sick?
Huo Guang couldn't understand!
But the soldier said: "Really, General Chariot and Cavalry, don't you know that His Majesty has assembled soldiers from the Beida Camp to prepare for another war against the old and new Shanyu forces in Mobei who are not surrendering."
"Beida Camp has been practicing continuously these days."
"The Cavalry General fainted on the school grounds today!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is preparing to conquer Mobei again?
Why haven't you heard of it yourself?
oh!
correct!
In recent days, the entire general's residence has been busy with the marriage between the general's uncle Wei Qing and Princess Pingyang, but they have not paid much attention to the outside world.
No wonder, on that big day, my brother came back, drank some wine, and then left in a hurry.
The entire Princess Pingyang was extremely dissatisfied with this!
Good guy.
It turns out that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wants to fight again!
However, at this time, the Huns were no longer in danger. After more than ten years of recuperation, it would not be able to harm the Han Dynasty's border areas.
so.
The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to attack the Xiongnu this time was just because the remaining Huns who were still lingering did not surrender?
But there is absolutely no need to continue this battle!
The desert is far north, cold and miserable.
Not much turf will grow, let alone recuperate.
What did the Han army gain when they fought?
This is not like the Battle of Hexi, directly taking back the Hetao area.
and!
The most fertile land of the Huns, Monan, was already within the territory of the Han Dynasty's actual control and had an absolute advantage.
It would be a bit irrational to target the Huns again.
At this time, the best way for the Han Dynasty was to recuperate and renew with the people.
After the economic losses from the Mobei War have recovered, we can then attack those countries in the Western Regions.
The land of the Western Region is much better than the depths of Mobei.
Huo Guang didn't know what Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was thinking, but he was the emperor, and his current strength could not influence the thoughts of this great man who could rival Qin Shihuang, the emperor of the ages.
but.
Now that his brother has fallen, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che should also give up the idea of sending troops to Mobei again, right?
Thinking of this, Huo Guang couldn't help but murmured, "Could it be that Huo Qubing died suddenly from overwork in history?"
"Eh"
"No matter what, I'll hurry up and see my brother."
Huo Guang hurriedly got into the carriage and rushed all the way to the general's mansion.
Huo Guang sitting on the carriage.
At this moment, I really feel what it means to live like a year.
He wished he could immediately ride on Dahei and run all the way back.
pity.
I came in a carriage and did not come back on a big black horse.
"Hey, this man is stupid when he is in a hurry. I should have led a war horse back from the military camp!" Huo Guang sighed in annoyance.
Fortunately, the carriage was not too slow, and Huo Guang finally made it back to the general's mansion.
After entering his brother's room.
Huo Guang found that his brother was sweating profusely and struggling to get out. He was still mumbling about why Beida camp needed him for the expedition.
However, the next moment, he passed out.
Everyone carried him back to the bed.
Huo Guang hurriedly walked in and looked at his brother who was sweating profusely on the bed and kept mumbling nonsense. He was extremely anxious in his heart.
He looked at Sun Ying aside and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's going on, brother?"
The sister-in-law was also very anxious at this time. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. The soldiers from the Beida Camp brought him back. They said he suddenly fell ill."
"Then let the medical staff come and see you!" Huo Guang said directly.
Sun Ying immediately said: "After seeing it, the medical workers said that the champion's condition is extremely serious. They couldn't see it either. They even asked us to invite the imperial physician Cheng."
Hear the words.
Huo Guang continued: "What about the Imperial Physician Cheng?"
Sun Ying said: "My uncle has entered the palace and asked your majesty to let the imperial doctor come over."
Generally speaking, the imperial doctor Cheng was the highest official position among the medical officers in the Han Dynasty.
His medical skills cannot be said to be the best in the world, but he is absolutely top-notch in this era.
pity.
This is from the Han Dynasty!
How advanced could medical skills be in an era more than 2,000 years ago?
What's more, the imperial physician Cheng during this period did not leave his name in later generations, which shows that he was just a tall man among short men.
Traditional Chinese medicine needs to be developed.
The heyday of traditional Chinese medicine was before the late Qing Dynasty.
The main reason why we now say that traditional Chinese medicine is not good is because from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China, traditional Chinese medicine basically stopped developing.
even.
It also started to go backwards.
If you can't even inherit it, how do you expect it to develop?
The current level of Chinese medicine in China even requires teaching from abroad.
Putting the cart before the horse.
It is a yes for my son to ask me to do something.
While Huo Guang was talking with his sister-in-law, General Wei Qing came with several imperial physicians, including the previous imperial physicians, to treat the champion.
at the same time.
General Wei Qing brought not only the imperial physician Cheng, but also Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che came.
Everyone saluted.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, ignored all the people who were saluting and said to the imperial doctors: "My hussar general was so lively when he came to the palace a few days ago. Why did he suddenly fall ill?"
"You must cure my hussar general."
"I will be greatly rewarded!"
However.
When it was the turn of the Imperial Physician Cheng, who had the top medical skills in the Han Dynasty, to treat illnesses, they were basically terminal illnesses that were hopeless in this era.
Medical skills, whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine.
In fact, most of them rely on drugs to enhance or assist the body's self-healing ability.
The main reason why Western medicine has such a big impact on Chinese medicine is that Western medicine can perform surgical procedures.
They can directly cut those lesions that the human body cannot heal on its own.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
If it weren't for a certain guy named Cao, there would be Chinese medicine as well, even more than Western medicine.
The earliest anesthetic was invented by traditional Chinese medicine.
Ma Fei San!
After the imperial doctors examined Huo Qubing, they all couldn't help but frowned and remained silent.
This made everyone in the room even more anxious.
Finally, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spoke up and asked: "Why don't you say anything after reading this? What is the condition of General Hussar?"
The emperor asked.
These imperial doctors, who were ministers, had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, the pulse of the Champion Marquis is extremely weak at this time, indicating that evil has entered the pericardium. His symptoms include coma, delirium, and febrile convulsions. It should be febrile disease!"
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he immediately said: "Since you know what the disease is, let's cure it!"
These imperial doctors looked at each other and did not dare to respond to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
finally.
He was still an old man and said: "Your Majesty, this is the first time I have seen such a serious febrile disease as the champion."
"I dare to ask, veteran!"
"Why is this champion named 'Qubing'?"
Hear the words.
General Wei Qing then spoke: "Qubing was weak and sickly when he was a child. We hope he recovers soon, so we named him Qubing."
When the old man heard this, he immediately said as if he had a reason: "That's it. The champion has left the root of his disease when he was young."
"Later, he led the army to fight everywhere. His body had already been injured, and the energy and spirit in his body was in a state of being thirsty for water."
"I'm afraid his febrile illness won't last for a day or two."
"It's just that the champion has amazing perseverance and has been able to survive."
"Until today, the energy and spirit in my body were completely empty, and evil entered my heart. Only then..."
The old man said nothing, only to hear Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shout: "That's enough!"
"I don't want to hear this nonsense from you!"
"I'm just asking you, can you cure my hussar general?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che often said that the Hussars General was born to be noble. This was a sign that he completely regarded Huo Qubing as his own son.
Although as an emperor, he is very suspicious.
But Huo Qubing was an exception.
This is the hussar general he has trained since childhood!
at this time.
It was also the time when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to go to Mobei again, and the Northern Army Camp needed a general like Huo Qubing to take charge.
How could Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not be anxious?
When the imperial doctors saw Emperor Wu's roar, they all knelt down and said, "I am incompetent. The champion is already terminally ill. We are unable to save him. I hope your majesty will forgive me!"
Seeing these imperial doctors, they all said they were unable to cure him!
Immediately, the female relatives in the general's house burst into tears.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even cursed angrily: "You rice-baskets, rice-baskets, the imperial court supports you with so much salary every year."
"But you can't save my hussar general."
"Get out, get out of here!"
Seeing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty telling them to get out, these imperial doctors were relieved, secretly wiped the sweat from their heads, and then prepared to leave.
But just at this moment, a voice sounded: "Hold on, I have a way to save my brother!"
Hear the words.
Everyone looked at the speaker.
Especially the imperial doctors who were about to leave, when they heard this, they immediately wanted to make a mockery, but when they saw it was Marquis Bolu, they shut their mouths angrily.
First of all, the status of Marquis Bolu is noble.
Secondly, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was here, so they naturally did not dare to speak.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, suddenly heard this and his face was overjoyed. He looked at Huo Guang and said, "Marquis Bo Lu, since there is a way to save the Hussars General, why don't you come and tell me."
However, in response to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's words, Huo Guang just shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please let me confirm something with these imperial doctors."
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che heard this, he immediately said: "Then ask quickly!"
The words fell.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty turned his attention to the imperial doctors again, pointed at them and said, "Don't leave yet, and listen to Marquis Bolu's questions."
Hear the words.
The imperial doctors had no choice but to stay.
Huo Guang stepped forward and asked: "Fellow imperial doctors, I would like to ask you, are you really sure that my brother is really caused by febrile disease?"
Many imperial doctors looked at each other, then nodded and said: "It is absolutely true that it is caused by febrile disease. But this is the cause of the disease. Now the champion is extremely ill and there is no cure."
Huo Guang ignored this and said immediately: "Just because you can't save my brother doesn't mean I can't do anything!"
Many imperial doctors suddenly frowned. Looking at Huo Guang's young face, they wanted to say that he was a little ignorant.
But seeing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was nearby and the other party had the status of a marquis, he immediately asked: "Didn't Marquis Bo Lu study under Dong Zhongshu?"
"how?"
"Is it possible that Dong Zhongshu's witchcraft can also save people?"
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he immediately said: "No matter what witchcraft it is, as long as it can save my hussar general, then give it a try!"
witchcraft?
Among those wizards who practice witchcraft, there are indeed some witch doctors.
but.
Huo Guang's practice was not witchcraft, but serious medical skills.
only.
This medical skill comes from the traditional Chinese medicine of the Qing Dynasty more than a thousand years ago.
Huo Guang was afraid that His Majesty would implicate him with those responsible for the witchcraft disaster in the future, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Dong did not teach me any witchcraft, and I did not learn it from him, but authentic medical skills. .”
"Okay, okay, if you have a way, try it quickly!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said hurriedly.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was anxious.
Huo Guang was naturally very anxious. After hearing this, he immediately ordered a maid to come in with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down some words eloquently.
After he finished writing, he said to the imperial doctors: "This is my prescription for treating febrile diseases. Which one of you is going to take the medicine?"
All the imperial doctors stepped forward to grab Huo Guang's prescription and check it out.
The so-called layman sees the excitement, while the expert sees the door.
Huo Guang's prescription immediately shocked many imperial doctors. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che didn't know what was going on, so he asked: "What are your expressions like? Is there anything wrong with the prescription?"
One of the younger ones, the current imperial physician, said: "Your Majesty, some of the medicinal materials written by Marquis Bolu can relieve mild febrile diseases."
"Such as bezoar, coptis, skullcap, and borneol."
"But why rhino horn, musk, pearls, cinnabar, realgar, gardenia, tulip, etc.?"
"Especially rhino horn concentrate, why do we need this? Where do we get this?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who knew nothing about medical skills, immediately turned his attention to Huo Guang.
Huo Guang immediately said: "Rhinos can be found in many states and counties in the south. They have horn-like things on their heads, which can be cut off."
There were many wild animals in ancient my country.
Rhinoceros were rare in the Han Dynasty two thousand years ago.
But then, why are there so few rhinos in the wild?
This starts from the Song Dynasty until the end of the Qing Dynasty. Whether it is rhino horn or its cortex, whether it is used as medicine, or just as a symbol of power by those in power.
Anyway, for various reasons, mass hunting began.
This makes the modern domestic wild rhinos extremely endangered.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he immediately said: "Since there are such rhinos in the south, let's kill a few of them."
Huo Guang shook his head and said: "There are many states and counties in the south, but I'm afraid we won't be able to make it in time. Your Majesty, I think we should use Chang'an as an example to search for tools or accessories made of rhinoceros horns, rather than going to the south to get them. It’s much quicker to come.”
Rhino horn tools and accessories have been unearthed in Luoyang, dating back to the Han Dynasty.
so.
There is still a chance that you can find it.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard Huo Guang's words, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let me follow the words of Marquis Bolu and let my Yulin army go search."
"Wei Qing, go!"
"I order you to mobilize the Yulin Army."
Wei Qing accepted the order and immediately said: "No."
At this time.
After discussing the feasibility of the prescription for a while, the imperial doctors asked Huo Guang, "May I ask Marquis Bo Lu if this prescription is famous?"
"Yes!" Huo Guang nodded, and then said solemnly: "This prescription is called Angong Niuhuang Prescription!" (End of Chapter)
