Out of a hero's pity for heroes, Liu Bei ordered his subordinates to cooperate and searched for Zhang Ji all over Jiangxia. After finding Zhang Ji, he sent a warship to escort Zhang Ji all the way to Baqiu to treat Zhou Yu.
As soon as Sun Shangxiang heard about this, he insisted on going to Baqiu with Zhang Ji. Zhang Xi was quite helpless because of the commotion at home, and he was worried that the girl would go alone, so he had to ask for leave from Liu Bei to accompany the girl.
Of course, I don't just accompany my wife to see my uncle, but also have other tasks. This is not easy to explain to Sun Shangxiang.
Saving people is rescuing people, but how is Zhou Yu's condition and whether he will recover in time to head west again? Anyway, Zhang Xi needs to arrive at the scene and act according to the situation.
Sun Shangxiang urged him hard along the way, and finally sent Zhang Ji to Baqiu to diagnose Zhou Yu who was still breathing.
Zhang Ji's diagnosis result came out quickly - wind evil entered the body and damaged the lung meridian.
Moreover, Zhang Ji also bluntly told Zhou Yu’s family and Jiangdong generals that Zhou Yu’s illness had been lingering for too long, and sometimes he often had high fevers that would not go away. Even Zhang Ji was not sure that he could be completely cured, and there was no cure after he was cured. Be sure there will be no side effects.
But what can Mrs. Zhou say? Zhang Ji is the only person who can give her hope these days.
Then it’s treatment time.
Zhang Ji naturally treated Zhou Yu carefully, but Zhou Yu's illness could not be cured in a day or two. It needed to be adjusted slowly, so Zhang Xi and Sun Shangxiang settled down in Baqiu County. .
Sun Shangxiang also cared about Zhou Yu very much. He visited her every day and kept talking to Mrs. Zhou and Xiao Qiao to relieve their boredom, fearing that they would think too much.
It was impossible for Zhang Xi to participate in such a conversation, so he stayed in Baqiu City on weekdays, observing Jiangdong Army's preparations for the expedition, and occasionally checking on Zhou Yu's situation.
Now all preparations for the expedition in Baqiu City seem to have come to a standstill. Jiangdong has no intention of sending any more food or weapons, and the training of soldiers outside the city seems to have not been carried out since Zhang Xi arrived.
It seems that all preparations for the expedition have come to a standstill.
Zhang Xi didn’t think that Jiangdong’s generals were deliberately showing off to Zhang Xi. After all, none of them expected Zhang Xi’s appearance. The current army is not that organized and efficient. This kind of pause should It's been going on for a while.
This made Zhang Xi breathe a sigh of relief. If Zhou Yu really went out to fight at this time, then Liu Bei Group might really have to go hard with Jiangdong.
Fortunately Zhou Yu was ill at this time.
Zhang Ji's treatment of Zhou Yu lasted for several days.
After all, he is a medical sage, and he showed his skill as soon as he took action. In just a few days, Zhou Yu was able to stay awake for a while.
Although the coughing still couldn't stop, the fever slowly subsided.
Zhang Xi later realized that Zhou Yu's illness was most likely pneumonia caused by a cold and fever. It was uncertain whether it was viral or not.
After all, Baqiu belongs to the depths of Yunmengze. Even after hundreds of years of development, this place is still full of miasma. The so-called miasma is most likely caused by germs and viruses.
The treatment of such a disease in later generations, even if it is delayed for so long like Zhou Yu, is unlikely to be fatal, but in this era without antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, it is really fatal.
No matter how superb Zhang Ji's medical skills are, they are limited by this era. That's why Zhang Ji said that he was not sure. After all, traditional Chinese medicine is slow to cure diseases. People like Zhou Yu who delay for too long can only take care of themselves slowly.
Zhang Ji also clearly told Zhou Yu and the Jiangdong Army generals about this, so Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to send troops out as soon as he woke up.
Besides, Sun Quan wouldn’t give in.
The day after Zhou Yu regained consciousness, Sun Quan's order arrived.
Lu Su brought it personally.
Sun Quan ordered Lu Su to be the captain of Fenwu School and stationed in Baqiu to control all the Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers currently in Baqiu.
As for Zhou Yu, after his condition stabilized, he was sent back to Chaisang to recuperate.
The arrival of Lu Su finally made Zhang Xi feel relieved.
Lu Su's position was in favor of the Sun-Liu alliance, and he came to replace Zhou Yu. Obviously, Sun Quan did not want Zhou Yu to risk another expedition, which meant that Sun Quan had temporarily given up his plan to conquer Yizhou westward.
Lu Su was different from Zhou Yu in that he didn't have much experience in directly leading troops, and he mostly made suggestions beside Sun Quan.
With Lu Su's current status and military prestige, it is unrealistic to expect Lu Su to replace Zhou Yu in the expedition to Bashu.
Therefore, Lu Su's arrival will most likely restrain the generals and prepare for possible reactions from Liu Bei's group in Xiakou and Youjiangkou.
Zhang Xi also reminisced about their old friendship with Lu Su. The two of them talked about some useless topics. For example, Lu Su asked Zhang Xi to thank Liu Bei for helping treat Zhou Yu, and Zhang Xi also thanked Lu Su for maintaining the alliance between the two. efforts made.
As for Zhou Yu, Zhang Xi and Lu Su both tacitly avoided mentioning it, because both of them actually knew Zhou Yu's position on the two alliances.
To be honest, Lu Su found it incredible that Liu Bei would help find Zhang Ji to treat Zhou Yu this time.
The two chatted with each other for a while, and Lu Su was busy taking over the military camp and sorting out military affairs.
As for Zhou Yu, after a few more days of recuperation, he was finally out of danger.
Zhang Ji wrote a prescription for Zhou Yu and asked Mrs. Zhou to take the medicine according to the prescription, and then asked Zhou Yu to take care of herself for at least half a year without any further exertion.
As for whether there will be any sequelae, Zhang Ji cannot guarantee.
After that, Zhang Ji hurriedly returned to Jiangxia to continue his research on water poisoning prevention and control work.
At the same time, Zhang Xi also left with Sun Shangxiang and returned to Jiangxia.
But before Zhang Xi left, Zhou Yu had a secret conversation with Zhang Xi.
"Yuan Chang is leaving. Dai Yu would like to express his gratitude to Uncle Liu Huang again and thank him for saving his life." Zhou Yu smiled and said a very ordinary opening statement.
"I accept the order." Zhang Xi cupped his hands and expressed his acceptance.
Next, Zhou Yu suddenly raised his eyes, stared at Zhang Xi and said, "It's just that there is something unclear about Yu. Why did Uncle Liu Huang save Yu?!"
After saying this, Zhang Xi couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then said, "My lord once said that the governor is the hero of the world. Even if he dies, he should die in battle. My lord is not saving Zhou Gongjin, but saving the heroes of the world."
Zhou Yu was silent for a while and said, "Shijun Liu is the benevolent king in the world."
Well, it’s good that you know.
"It's just that Liu Shijun is not afraid that after curing Yu, we will meet each other on the battlefield in the future?!" Zhou Yu suddenly spoke again.
When Zhang Xi heard this, he felt that this was wrong.
"The governor is joking. Now that the two families are in alliance, how can we talk about it in battle?!" Zhang Xi laughed and tested Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu waved his hands and said, "There are only two of you here. Zijing doesn't know, so why bother to pretend like this?"
Zhang Xi didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Yu, waiting for Zhou Yu's next words.
Zhou Yu did not wait for Zhang Xi's answer, but sighed and continued, "The Sun-Liu alliance is a temporary alliance. The Yuan leader should also understand this. Now the Sun-Liu family is weak and Cao Cao is strong, so we join forces Resist Cao Cao. But what if the situation changes in the future?!"
This Zhou Yu didn't succeed even after dying once. Could it be that he really changed his temper? This kind of thing is put on the table.
Well, since you are honest, there is no need for Zhang Xi to hide it. Just like Zhou Yu said, there are only two people here.
"If the situation changes in the future, we should take a long-term approach!" Zhang Xi nodded, first affirming Zhou Yu's statement, and then said, "It's just the governor, now we can only unite with three states, how can we resist Cao Cao?! Furthermore, not to mention that Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the governor is lucky enough to capture Yizhou, there are only thirteen states in the world among the four states, and the hinterland of the Central Plains is still in Cao Cao's hands, so how can the situation change so easily?!"
After listening to Zhang Xi's words, Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head and said, "This is not the case. The power lies in the number of prefectures and counties occupied. If I take Bashu from the east of the Yangtze River and run it for several years, I will order a general to contact Xiliang and horse over Qin." Sichuan, Yu personally led the troops from Nanjun to attack Xiangyang, and my lord led the troops from Jiangdong out of Hefei. With such a three-pronged attack, how could Cao Cao be undefeated?! During the Jie Dynasty, Yongliang, Qingxu, Sili and other places were all owned by me. , Cao Cao can only occupy the land of Hebei, so what is there to fear?!"
Ha, you really dare to think about it.
Zhang Xi didn't even know how to say Zhou Yu was fine.
"Cao Cao occupies the hinterland of Hebei in the Central Plains and has many soldiers and generals. Why does the governor think that all three routes can conquer the city?!"
Please, if nothing else, your lord will not be able to pass the Hefei test. If he fights with the Jade Emperor, it would be surprising if he could win.
"Even if the situation is as expected by the governor, how can there be so many troops in Jiangdong to fight on multiple fronts?! It's better for me to enter Bashu, contact Xiliang, Ma Chaohan, and then leave Qinchuan, and the governor will lead the army to attack Xiangyang. It's just a battle in Nanjun, and the governor has my home. It took nine months of hard work to win with the help of the princes. The land of Xiangyang is close to Cao Cao's heart. I wonder how long it will take the governor to capture it?!"
Zhou Yu didn't answer, just looked at Zhang Xi with a smile, which made Zhang Xi feel a little hairy.
Finally, Zhou Yu also sighed and said, "In this case, we will inevitably meet on the battlefield one day. Yuan Chang, don't blame Yu for not remembering the past kindness."
Hey, no, what do you mean? !
Zhang Xi didn't understand, but Zhou Yu had closed his eyes, obviously not wanting to talk to Zhang Xi anymore.
Zhang Xi could only say goodbye, as he could not continue to harass someone who was still sick.
As soon as Zhang Xi left, Zhou Yu instantly opened his eyes, smiled bitterly, and said, "Zijing, come out!"
A figure flashed behind the barrier, and Lu Su appeared, and said helplessly, "Commander, this plan is a little too ungentlemanly!"
Lu Su was dissatisfied. Zhou Yu said he was having a private conversation with Zhang Xi, but allowed himself to eavesdrop in secret.
Zhou Yu just smiled, asked Lu Su to sit down, and then said, "This is indeed not fair enough, but Zijing also knows what Zhang Yuanchang said. Does Zijing still insist on the alliance?!"
Lu Su paused for a moment, thought for a while, and then said, "Su still thinks that the Sun-Liu alliance is necessary."
Zhou Yu was also stunned and looked at Lu Su without saying anything.
Lu Su continued to explain, "Now that Cao Cao is powerful, Zhang Yuanchang's words are also reasonable. Although the three-pronged attack on Cao Cao is huge, we in Jiangdong do not have enough troops. If we cannot destroy all three routes, we will destroy the two alliances." , we in Jiangdong may have to rely on the Yangtze River to defend ourselves. As for Liu Xuande's desire to take Xichuan, this knowledgeable person has made it clear that it is not a secret. The two families have joined forces to fight against Cao, and now we should maintain it."
Zhou Yu still didn't speak, but this time, he was thinking about what Lu Su said.
After a pause of about a bowl of tea, Zhou Yu asked again, "In Zijing's opinion, how long will this covenant be maintained?!"
Lu Su also thought for a moment and replied, "If Liu Shijun takes over Yizhou, leaves Qinchuan, and enters Guanzhong, we will lead his troops out of Hefei and take over Qingxu. I don't mind this covenant."
Zhou Yu thought for a while, nodded silently, and then asked, "How about Jingzhou?!"
Lu Su did not think about it this time and replied, "Divide Jingzhou equally. I will wait for the southeast, and order Liu Shijun to occupy the northwest and capture Xiangyang!!!"
Zhou Yu finally stopped talking.
