During the first few days after boarding the ship from Youjiangkou, Zhang Ji usually avoided Zhang Xi.
In fact, this general spoke too eloquently, and Zhang Ji couldn't understand many of the words he said.
But in the days approaching Xiakou, it was Zhang Xi who avoided Zhang Ji.
There was no way, Zhang Ji had drained all the knowledge about health and epidemic prevention that Zhang Xi had.
At this moment, Zhang Ji was pestering Zhang Xi, asking about the solution to miasma and water poisoning.
Miasma is a thing that always gives people a mysterious and mysterious concept. In the eyes of Zhang Xi, who has never been exposed to miasma, this thing is probably something like mist.
But Zhang Ji explained it to Zhang Xi, saying that this disease often appears in undeveloped virgin forests and can be found in places with or without fog. People often fall ill after entering these places and come out. Sweating, shaking, body aching and weak. Why does this thing sound so much like malaria? !
Although Zhang Xi knows that the good medicine for treating malaria is cinchona, this stuff is still growing wildly in North America. Who can transport it here? !
So these days, if you get malaria, you basically have to rely on your own immune system to fight it off. If you survive it, you will lose your life, but most people can't survive it.
However, Zhang Xi finally knew that malaria is mostly transmitted through mosquitoes. Bringing more mosquito repellents can significantly reduce the frequency of malaria.
Zhang Ji was dubious, but he still wrote it down.
As for water poisoning, Zhang Ji described it as mostly occurring in the spring months, when microscopic insects from streams burrow into the human body. Symptoms include abdominal distension, yellow color, abdominal tendons, etc. Well, is this schistosomiasis? !
Zhang Xi still doesn't know how to treat schistosomiasis, but he knows that the only intermediate host of schistosomiasis is snails.
The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook of the 1950s had a special explanation. The common people mobilized to eradicate the snails and eradicated schistosomiasis in three years.
Zhang Xi immediately told Zhang Ji that the scourge of this thing is the snails, and he just needs to mobilize the people to eliminate the snails.
But Zhang Ji wanted to know more than just this.
He not only wanted to know how to prevent these diseases, but also how to effectively treat them. He also wanted to know the principles of these diseases so that he could write them into "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" and give future generations an experience.
But these things are beyond Zhang Xi's knowledge.
Zhang Xi didn't study medicine in his previous life, so how could he know what medicine to use? Even if he knew it, modern medicine is basically based on Western medicine. Even if Zhang Xi said it, Zhang Ji wouldn't understand it.
This is another system.
As for the cause of the disease, Zhang Xi couldn't even burn glass, so how could he make a microscope for this medical sage?
Therefore, as time went by, Zhang Xi avoided Zhang Ji more and more because he really couldn't answer.
But Zhang Ji didn't believe it. He felt that since Zhang Xi knew how to prevent and treat these diseases, he had at least read similar medical books. There couldn't be only so many records in the books.
These days, Zhang Ji is very familiar with the culture of aristocratic families cherishing knowledge, but this is about treating illnesses and saving lives, which is different from those collections of classics and history.
The common people can survive without reading the Classics and History, but if no one treats their illnesses, the common people cannot survive.
Therefore, Zhang Ji kept chasing Zhang Xi and insisted on finding out the truth.
Zhang Xi regrets it now. He regrets that he cheated himself because he wanted to get close to Zhang Ji and to express his respect for the medical saint.
Zhang Xi repeatedly emphasized to Zhang Ji that she only knew so much, but Zhang Ji just didn't believe it.
In the end, Zhang Xi had no choice but to follow Zhang Ji's idea and say that he read it from an ancient book, but later there was a fire at home and the ancient book was burned, so he only remembered so much.
This time Zhang Ji believed him, but every time Zhang Ji looked at Zhang Xi, it was almost like looking at a prodigal son, and Zhang Xi avoided Zhang Ji even more.
The sixty-year-old man is still a medical saint with a high reputation among the people, and he comes from a noble family. Even if someone scolds you and hits you, what else can you do if you can't fight back or hide away.
After finally arriving at Xiakou, he sent the old man to Liu Bei's house to treat Mrs. Gan's illness and arranged for the old man to stay. Zhang Xi hurriedly ran to find Guan Yu.
Firstly, he can save himself from being treated as a prodigal by Zhang Ji, and secondly, he can also ask Guan Yu to surrender his orders.
Guan Yu now guards Xiakou as a partial general, and is also the person in charge of the entire military affairs of Jiangxia. Although he is not the prefect of Jiangxia, his powers are basically those of the prefect of Jiangxia.
Zhuge Liang transferred Zhang Xi back to Jiangxia, and Zhang Xi naturally asked Guan Yu to give orders and explain the situation.
Guan Yu didn't say anything about Zhang Xi's return.
Compared with Zhuge Liang's transfer of people back, Guan Yu is more concerned about the Jiangling War and the current situation of his eldest brother Liu Bei.
Zhang Xi briefly told the story of the battle in Jiangling City, and especially praised Guan Yu's achievements in Juebei Road. Guan Yu was stroking his beard after hearing this.
The Juebei Road was indeed Guan Yu's proud work, and it also played a decisive role in Jiangling's offense and defense. Zhang Xi could not overstate it.
Then, Zhang Xi mentioned that his lord went to Tun Youjiang Estuary and argued with Zhou Yu about the ownership of Youjiang Estuary. Finally, under Pang Tong's instigation, he decided to go to Chaisang to meet Sun Quan in person and ask for the Youjiang Estuary.
Guan Yu's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"My son Zhou Yu, how could he have captured Jiangling if I hadn't cut off the northern route?! The mouth of the Youjiang River is only occupied. Why does the eldest brother need to cross the river in person to see Sun Quan? If something goes wrong, wouldn't the eldest brother be in danger?"
Guan Yu was full of energy, stared at Zhang Xi, and asked, "You have always been scheming. Don't you see the risks involved? Why did you let your eldest brother cross the river alone, and you didn't give me any advice?!"
No, don’t come at me about this, I am opposed to it.
"General Guan, calm down. This matter is decided by the lord himself. We have no choice but to obey orders!" Zhang Xi could only explain vaguely.
This time it was really not that he was overwhelmed by Guan Yu's momentum, it was purely to save Liu Bei's face.
Even though Guan Yu is Liu Bei's brother, Liu Bei is always the boss.
Before the boss makes a decision, everyone can express their opinions and make suggestions.
But after the boss makes the decision, all everyone has to do is obey the order. At this time, it makes no sense to say "I didn't agree before". On the contrary, it will damage the boss's authority.
Guan Yu also understood. When Zhang Xi said that it was Liu Bei's own decision, Guan Yu could only sigh, and then wrote a letter to Wenpin stationed in Echeng, asking him to always pay attention to the trends in Jiangdong and prepare his troops carefully in case something went wrong. Then Guan Yu will lead his army to Chaisang in person and ask Sun Quan for help.
After writing the letter to Wenpin and making arrangements, Guan Yu felt a little relieved.
Next, Guan Yu chatted with Zhang Xi for a while, talking about Jiangxia's defense, and by the way, they talked about Wenpin.
Wenpin came to Jiangxia and went to Xiling to meet Liu Qi. He was taken under Liu Qi's account and took charge of the thousands of Jiangxia soldiers who were directly under Liu Qi.
Originally Wenpin thought that when Liu Bei settled in Jiangxia, with Liu Bei's methods, Liu Qi would have been sidelined even if he was not under house arrest. However, when he arrived in Xiling, he saw that this was not the case at all.
Liu Qi not only occupies Xiling, but is also responsible for the defense of the counties in northern Jiangxia. He also has more than 7,000 soldiers and his own leading general. This does not look like he is being ignored.
This actually shocked Wenpin. Could it be that Liu Bei was really a humble gentleman? !
But then Wenpin understood that it was not Liu Bei who was so benevolent, but Liu Qi who was really not a threat.
After more than half a year, Wenpin has realized that Liu Qi is greedy for pleasure, addicted to wine and sex, and has left the entire military and political affairs of Jiangxia to others, without even a trace of fighting spirit and ambition.
Even later Wenpin couldn't stand it anymore and repeatedly advised Liu Qi to cheer up and control the military and personnel power. Liu Qi promised to do it every time, but he just didn't do it.
Later, Liu Bei announced that Liu Qi was the governor of Jingzhou. Liu Qi immediately danced with joy. He couldn't wait to change all his carriages and horses into governor-level carriages. He also asked to expand his mansion and recruit all kinds of beauties into the mansion. .
If Liu Qi was trying to paralyze Liu Bei, privately still clinging to military power and ready to make a comeback at any time, then Wenpin would not be unable to accept it.
But Liu Bei has already led his troops to conquer the four counties in Jingnan, and Guan Yu has also gone to Juebei Road. Only Chen Dao and Chen Zhen are left in Jiangxia. , plus watching beautiful women dance.
By this time, Wenpin had completely given up.
Coupled with the persuasion of Su Fei, who was also an old minister of Liu Biao, Wenpin finally decided to forget about out of sight and out of mind, and asked Liu Qi for orders to guard Echeng and Zhu County to guard against sneak attacks from Jiangdong.
Wenpin from the three northern counties didn't want to go, as he would be embarrassed if he met someone from Cao Jun's army.
But Dongmian... Haha, after fighting with Jiangdong's people for so many years, Wenpin will not feel embarrassed at all.
Furthermore, now that the Sun and Liu families are allies, if Jiangdong dares to send people to raid Sanjiangkou, then the Jiangdong soldiers who Wenpin really dares to beat will not be able to take care of themselves.
Later, Liu Qi became seriously ill.
As soon as he heard that Liu Qi was seriously ill, Wenpin personally led his troops back to Xiling without any orders. The only purpose was to find out whether Liu Qi was really seriously ill or whether he was assassinated by Liu Bei's people.
But Wenpin not only successfully met Liu Qi and understood the cause of Liu Qi's illness, but even Wenpin asked to take over the defense of Liu Qi's house, and Chen Zhen agreed without even thinking about it.
Now Chen Zhen is more worried about Liu Qi's condition than Wenpin. You must know that if Liu Qi dies, Liu Bei will lose a banner of righteousness.
Therefore, Wenpin personally took care of Liu Qi until Liu Qi finally passed away.
After Liu Qi's death, Wenpin finished Liu Qi's funeral and returned to Jun'e County to guard Jiangdong.
Liu Qi's death completely ended Wenpin's idea of serving his old protagonist Liu Biao.
It wasn't until Guan Yu officially came to power that he sent a clerical official seal to Wenpin. Wenpin did not refuse in the end, but chose to accept it.
Accepting the documents and official seal means that Wenpin has completely fallen into Liu Bei's camp and is no longer Liu Qi's subordinate.
