Liu Bei stayed in Jiangling City for ten days, making friends with aristocratic families in Jiangling City, visiting celebrities, and under the guidance of Pang Tong, chatted and laughed with representatives of Jiangling aristocratic families.
Zhou Yu was a little disgusted.
It wasn't Liu Bei's blatant bribery that made him sick, but the Jiangling family's behavior and the Pang family's attitude that made Zhou Yu very dissatisfied.
He, Zhou Yu, was the dignified governor of Nanjun, and Liu Bei was just a passerby.
He, Zhou Yu, was born in the Zhou family of Lujiang and was a member of an aristocratic family, while Liu Bei was just a straw sandal seller who appeared out of nowhere.
Although Liu Bei is said to be a member of the Han clan, Han clan members are really worthless these days. There are several of them in Jiangling City.
If the emperor had not recognized his uncle in court today, the value of Liu Bei, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, would have been even lower.
Zhou Yu couldn't understand why Liu Bei was more popular than a member of his family, and why the Pang family would rather send someone to serve Liu Bei than themselves.
Call me jealous, a little bit, but Liu Bei is leaving anyway.
Liu Bei stayed in Jiangling City for ten days, and finally sent Zhang Xi to say goodbye to Zhou Yu, saying that he was going to Chaisang to meet Sun Quan to discuss the matter of Youjiang Estuary.
According to Zhou Yu's estimation, once Liu Bei leaves, he will basically never come out again, so Zhou Yu doesn't care how much this guy likes to win people's hearts.
On the contrary, Zhang Xi and Zhou Yu specially bought wine to treat him as a farewell.
In Zhou Yu's view, Liu Bei's trip to Chaisang this time was a disaster, and Zhou Yu felt it was necessary to win over Liu Bei's original subordinates in advance.
Especially Zhang Xi.
Zhou Yu really likes Zhang Xi.
Among Liu Bei's troops, Zhang Xi was the one who had the most dealings with Zhou Yu. The two had fought and cooperated with each other. During the Jiangling offensive and defensive battle for more than half a year, Zhang Xi did help Zhou Yu a lot.
Zhou Yu doesn't think much of pure civil servants like Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang, but he really likes generals like Zhang Xi who are both civilized and capable.
Although Zhang Xi does not admit that he is a general,
Zhou Yu specially entertained Zhang Xi, and even took the initiative to get close to Zhang Xi during the dinner. He praised Zhang Xi for free, which made Zhang Xi feel a little elated. He completely forgot that he had resented Zhou Yu for calling him "shameless" a few days ago. thing.
Zhou Yu's personality charm cannot be denied. Even Cheng Pu said, "Being with Zhou Gongjin is like drinking wine and getting drunk without realizing it." Cheng Pu, a veteran with rich life experience, felt this way, and Zhang Xi, a young man , naturally it is inevitable to fall into trap.
Moreover, Zhang Xi is still inseparable from the thinking of some later generations. Sometimes a person who is not careful will look at things outside the framework of this world.
There is a saying that Zhou Gongjin became famous at a young age, with a majestic appearance and beautiful women at his side. I don’t know how many people aroused the envy of him.
After the battle at Chibi, he achieved great success and became famous all over the world. Just when he was about to show off his grand ambitions, he died.
Really, it's a pity for Zhou Yu. It's a pity that the sky is not holidaying, and it's a pity for Xiao Qiao.
Therefore, on the occasion of parting, Zhang Xi, who was being held in high spirits, was moved in his heart and said to Zhou Yu, "Captain, take care, I don't know when we will see each other again after this farewell. The wounds of the commander's arrow must not be underestimated. I recently heard that Fan A, a disciple of the miraculous doctor Hua Tuo, recently traveled to Jiangdong. Why doesn’t the governor send someone to come and diagnose him?!”
Zhou Yu was also shocked when he heard this. He took Zhang Xi's hand and said, "Yu understands Yuan Chang's intention. Unfortunately, he is busy with official duties and can't get away for a while. Yu takes care of medical matters. Thank you very much." Yuan Chang’s kindness.”
It's okay if he doesn't grab his hand, but when he grabs his hand, Zhang Xi stops drifting immediately.
After four years in this era, Zhang Xi still can't adapt to the fact that people in this era are always grabbing hands and sleeping together. It's okay for women, but men really can't adapt.
He quickly took out his hand without leaving a trace, bowed his hands, and said goodbye.
She said some things that she shouldn't have said, but Zhang Xi didn't regret it.
Although Zhou Yu is alive, he is a hidden danger to Liu Bei, but then again, as long as Zhou Yu is alive, Sun Quan will not be able to defeat 800 with 100,000.
If Sun Quan hadn't been beaten to autistic state by Zhang Liao, he wouldn't have had to sneak attack on Jingzhou. Medicine can cure diseases, Buddha can save the destined people, it all depends on God's will.
After Zhang Xi returned to the camp to report back to Liu Bei, Liu Bei ordered Wei Yan to organize the camp, break up the camp, and set off.
The mouth of Youjiang River is opposite Jiangling City. It takes less than a few days to cross the river and return to the mouth of Youjiang River.
Xu Shu, who stayed behind, welcomed Liu Bei and was very happy to see Pang Tong. He not only congratulated Pang Tong on meeting the Ming Lord, but also praised Pang Tong in front of Liu Bei.
Then he asked about Liu Bei going to Chaisang to meet Sun Quan.
As for the letter, Xu Shu had already received it. His opinion was consistent with Zhang Xi's. He felt that there was no need for Liu Bei to risk going to Chaisang. He could just ask Sun Qian or Yi Ji to go as an envoy.
But Xu Shu's letter was never sent, because he wanted to wait for Zhuge Liang's reply before sending it out together. The lord of the province had to wait twice.
But now Liu Bei is back.
Not only did he come back, he also brought back Pang Tong and his decision to go to Chaisang to discuss the Youjiangkou.
This matter was suggested by Pang Tong. Xu Shu couldn't say anything. After listening to Pang Tong's analysis, Xu Shu was a little shaken.
According to Pang Tong's analysis, Liu Bei should not have any major problems if he goes there this time, and the danger Zhang Xi mentioned is just in case.
These are troubled times, and people cannot guarantee 100% safety in their lives. They may face war one day. What can Liu Bei do without risk? !
So Xu Shu was a little shaken this time and felt that what Pang Tong said made sense.
Now, there are three counselors under Liu Bei at Youjiangkou. Pang Tong and Zhang Xi have different opinions. Xu Shu is a little biased towards Pang Tong. In addition, Liu Bei has already made a decision. As the leader, he cannot speak without speaking. Forget it.
Therefore, Liu Bei did not wait for Zhuge Liang's letter to arrive, but took Pang Tong with him, prepared gifts, boarded the boat directly at the mouth of Youjiang River, and set off for Chaisang.
Three days after Liu Bei left, Zhuge Liang's letter arrived - he did not agree with Liu Bei going to Chaisang for the same reason as Zhang Xi, a gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall.
But what's the use? !
Everyone is gone, but your letter is here.
The seedlings have dried up to death, so you have rain.
Now Zhang Xi and Xu Shu can only hope that Pang Tong's judgment is correct, and that Pang Tong can rely on his own resourcefulness to adapt to changes and protect their lord.
Along with Zhuge Liang's letter, there was also a transfer order.
Zhuge Liang wrote to Xu Shu, saying that if Zhang Xi and others had ended the Battle of Jiangling, Zhang Fei and Wei Yan would be left to guard at the mouth of Youjiang River to guard against Jiangling Zhou Yu, and Zhang Xi should quickly return to Jiangxia to assist Guan Yu.
There is Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Kou Feng, Hao Pu and others in the four counties of Jingnan, so there is no need to worry too much.
The geographical location of Youjiangkou is very important. There was only one Xu Shu there, and Zhuge Liang was not worried. After all, Xu Shu had never directly led an army, so he asked Zhang Fei and Wei Yan to stay and help.
As for Jiangxia, Guan Yu was good at both civil and military affairs, and Chen Dao and Wenpin were both momentary heroes, but without advisers in charge, Zhuge Liang was still not at ease, so he asked Zhang Xi to go back quickly.
By the way, Zhang Xi was also asked to protect an important person and go to Jiangxia together.
Zhang Ji, Zhang Zhongjing.
Zhuge Liang searched for a long time in the four counties of Jingnan before he found Zhang Ji from the mountains of Jingnan and asked him to return to Jiangxia to treat Mrs. Gan.
Zhang Ji was from Nanyang and came from a noble family. However, Zhang Ji himself had superb medical skills and extremely noble moral character.
When he was the prefect of Changsha, he directly used his prefect's mansion as a medical clinic to treat the people for free.
Note, it’s the common people.
Although Zhang Ji was from a Nanyang family, he only saw patients. There was no distinction between nobles and commoners. He treated everyone who came.
As a result, Zhang Ji had a high reputation among the people, but among the aristocratic families, the children of the aristocratic family could not understand at all why a son of a well-established family would practice medicine and treat the common people when he was not a high-ranking official. It was putting the cart before the horse.
Therefore, the Zhang family in Nanyang was quite dissatisfied with Zhang Ji's behavior, and Zhang Ji lost his position as the governor of Changsha. However, Zhang Ji didn't care. He just wanted to see a doctor and had no official duties. He just happened to organize his medical practice. Based on his experience, he wrote "Treatise on Injury and Miscellaneous Diseases".
At this time, Hua Tuo in the north had been killed by Cao Cao, and his disciple Fan A was afraid of being implicated, so he ran to Jiangdong for refuge.
Zhang Ji in the south was alive and well. But he was not easy to find. Zhuge Liang used his connections in the four counties and searched for him for two months before digging him out of the ravine.
It just so happened that Zhuge Liang wanted Zhang Xi to go back to Jiangxia. On the way, he asked Zhang Xi to take Zhang Ji back to Jiangxia to see Mrs. Gan.
To be honest, even Zhuge Liang admired Zhang Ji's noble character, but he also couldn't understand why Zhang Ji neglected his good job as the governor of Changsha and became a doctor.
You know, being a county guard can save more people than being a doctor.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang didn't treat Zhang Ji particularly well. He felt that he was indeed putting the cart before the horse. He just wanted to ask Zhang Ji to treat Mrs. Gan, so he treated him with courtesy.
Zhang Ji had seen this attitude so many times that he was no longer surprised by it.
But this new acquaintance, General Zhang Xi, Zhang Ji has lived for more than sixty years, and he has never seen him before.
When others communicated with Zhang Ji, it was mostly about the way children from aristocratic families get along with each other. They talked more about knowledge, and they were too shy to mention medicine.
But this General Zhang was good at communicating with Zhang Ji about "epidemic prevention and control" as soon as he came up.
Didn't it mean that this person also came from a poor family, and was known to be well-read and knowledgeable? !
I am a scholar, why don't you talk to me about classics and history collections, discuss literature, and why don't you talk to me about medical books? !
But even if this person has read medical books, this wording is quite strange.
What is an "epidemic"? !
