In Yang Laosan's room, Cao Wu and Xia Houyuan were sitting on the floor.
Cao Wu once again drew a map of the Yangtze River, pointed to a point and asked: "During the last contact, should the main force of our army be here?"
Xia Houyuan nodded, and Cao Wu repeatedly deduced with him, and calculated the meeting point of the two armies based on Zhou Yu's marching speed.
When he saw that point, Cao Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Not Chibi!
It's a little further east than Chibi.
This was an unexpected surprise, and Cao Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that the unfathomable restraining power would be stronger, and the two armies would still fight in Chibi.
However, at this point in their discussion, Cao Jun stopped marching because Jia Xu, who was silent, suddenly suggested that Cao Jun should train a few simple ways to deal with Zhou Yu's naval formation. In addition, they also need to wait for the three five-toothed ships to arrive.
Zhou Yu also stopped marching because they were receiving Xiahou Yuan's warships and were also waiting for Da Qiao to arrive on the battlefield.
Because of such an unexpected pause, they were delayed by one day in marching. The place where the two armies met would inevitably be near Red Cliff.
Cao Wuhuan didn't know all this.
He and Xia Houyuan discussed for a long time, and they both believed that Zhou Yu and Liu Bei would probably send people to transport the diseased corpses, so Xia Houyuan decided to stay here until the outcome of the battle on the front line was decided.
"If our army is defeated, if Brother Miaocai stays here, he will have a narrow escape from death."
However, Xia Houyuan said openly: "The defeated general has no fear of life or death! It is my honor to be able to save my lord's millions of troops with my own strength."
Cao Wu was silent and patted Xia Houyuan on the shoulder.
Xia Houyuan wiped his spear in the firelight, chuckled, and said no more.
From the moment he selected elite soldiers to follow Cao Wu to the enemy's rear, he was determined to die.
Cao Wu walked out of the room and went to the courtyard next door.
A villager with a broken leg was carried to this courtyard, and the miracle doctor Hua Tuo was concentrating on operating on him.
Xiao Qiao pursed her lips and stood nearby, doing some auxiliary work according to Hua Tuo's instructions.
She was still wearing a veil, but she was graceful and beautiful. Just standing there calmed the irritable villagers.
Cao Wu waited patiently at the entrance of the hospital for a long time before Hua Tuo connected the patient's legs.
Unlike modern surgeries, and I don’t know what kind of medicine Hua Tuo used, the man was able to get down and walk immediately, but he still needed to rest for a period of time before he could fully recover.
Seeing such miraculous medical skills, all the villagers applauded.
"Amazing, he is indeed a miracle doctor!"
Cao Wu also admired doctors like Hua Tuo from the bottom of his heart.
If practicing medicine was for fame and gain, then Hua Tuo would have been rich a long time ago given his ability. However, he practiced medicine everywhere just to help all living beings. Even now, he is alone and poor, but he still treats patients whenever he sees them. It truly embodies the words “doctor’s parents’ heart”.
He walked up to Hua Tuo and wanted to say a few words of admiration, but he saw that this miracle doctor, who had been working hard for days, had sweat on his forehead and his body was even more stooped.
Maybe this is the true appearance of a miracle doctor. Those legendary appearances of gods are all far-fetched by the world. Hua Tuo has exhausted his energy in treating all living beings. Only at the moment of surgery can he reveal his immortal spirit.
Hua Tuo was well versed in human relations and knew that Cao Wu wanted to say flattery, so he waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to say anything.
Cao Wu insisted: "Human life is of the utmost importance, and wealth is valuable. This is what another miracle doctor I saw in my dream said. I didn't understand it before, but now I see the old miracle doctor, and I really understand. Than Those imperial doctors who sit in the imperial city to treat the emperor are called miracle doctors. Sir, you deserve the title. Your medical skills and ethics are ten times better than theirs!"
Hua Tuo then frowned and chewed on the eight words "human life is the most important thing, and a daughter is precious", and realized that the thought of the miracle doctor Cao Wu mentioned coincided with his own.
He also has a stubborn character. No matter how many compliments others give, he will not be happy if the compliments are not to the point. What Cao Wu said went deep into his heart. He was extremely happy and said: "Okay, okay! In life, you must have a confidant. It’s so obvious!”
"In the midst of this war and in my old age, I am truly lucky to meet my little friend!"
He said a few good words and was about to get the wine. Suddenly he heard a beady voice saying: "Old man, I drank so much wine yesterday. Don't drink any more today."
Hua Tuo's outstretched hand froze in the air. He looked back and saw a hint of worry in Xiao Qiao's lustrous eyes, and couldn't help but sneer.
Xiao Qiao's voice was not harsh, but she was so beautiful. When a person is beautiful, everything she says is right.
Cao Wu smiled and said: "Old miracle doctor, if something happens here, don't forget to go to Beifu to find me! I have a lot of good wine there. I also have wine from the Xiping period!"
Xiping is the reign name of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and it has been thirty years ago. When he heard that there was such a fine wine, Hua Tuo's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt comfortable. He said happily: "Okay, okay! In the future, Must go!”
When he was happy, he took out a bamboo slip from the package beside him and handed it to Cao Wudao: "Here is a health-preserving method called Wu Qin Xi, which is..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Cao Wu continued: "Five-animal play, tiger, deer, bear, ape, bird?"
Hua Tuo looked at Cao Wu in surprise. He only informed a few people such as Wu Pu in Guangling and Fan A in Pengcheng about the Five Animals show, and they only gave him the training method of one bird each. Now that he and Cao Wu saw eye to eye, he knew how to do it. Give him the full version of Wu Qin Xi.
But how could Cao Wu know which five animals the Wu Qin Xi was?
Cao Wu actually saw it in a book when he was a child. Speaking now, I knew I was too excited and made a mistake, so I made a pretense: "I just heard it accidentally. But the ones I've seen don't seem to be practiced authentically."
Hua Tuo handed the bamboo slips to Cao Wu doubtfully, and then demonstrated a set of five-animal plays, saying: "This set of five-animal plays is originally derived from Zhuangzi's two-animal play. If you practice it correctly, it will not only strengthen your body, but also improve your health." It can recharge your body, increase your strength, and increase your pace, and the effect is excellent.”
Hearing this effect, Cao Wu was moved.
It's not like he hasn't thought about practicing martial arts after traveling through time for so long. He had also practiced martial arts at the beginning, but at best he was better than ordinary soldiers. He could fight three or five soldiers without any problem, and he could charge and kill them while riding a horse.
But let alone Lu Bu's closure, even a second-rate general like Mi Fang could probably fight him back and forth.
The reasons here are, firstly, because he has missed the best period for practicing martial arts, and secondly, because as a modern man, he really cannot bear the extreme hardship of practicing martial arts. My brother, Cao Mengde, came here to enjoy himself, as long as he could protect himself, and he couldn't even think about being brave enough to win the three armies.
However, this Wuqinxi gave him a chance. He wanted to practice hard after he went back, maybe he could really increase his strength.
Seeing that Cao Wu was fascinated, Hua Tuo stopped with satisfaction and sighed: "I am actually not good at treating diseases, but this place is like hell, but I can't bear to leave. Now what I have learned in my life, one is Wu Qin Xi, has been passed down. I gave it to you, and secondly, I don’t know who can learn this medical skill.”
Cao Wu planned to let Cao Ah Shi learn from it, but before he could answer, a female voice beat him to it.
"I want to try."
Hua Tuo and Cao Wu looked at the slim little Qiao standing in surprise.
"I want to try it!"
Xiao Qiao strengthened his belief and said.
Hua Tuo said happily: "That's great. You and your wife can each learn one subject. It's just right!"
"No, you..."
Cao Wu pulled Xiao Qiao aside and asked in a serious tone: "You should know your identity. After this battle, no matter you win or lose, don't you have to go back to Jiangdong? How can you master the medical skills of the old genius?"
Xiao Qiao said: "The people who came to rob the people are the allies of the Jiangdong people, right? General Sun and your husband may not know this, but the world will blame the Jiangdong people for what the allies did. Xiao Qiao only knows how to play the piano. Playing chess, calligraphy and painting will not help, I can only learn medical skills to rectify Jiangdong's name!"
"Then you won't go to the front line to see your sister?"
Xiao Qiao hesitated a little, and finally said: "I want to see my sister and husband, but I have already seen it. Now the war is in chaos. With my strength, it is better to stay here."
Cao Wu saw her firm expression. It was obviously not a sudden decision, but the result of careful consideration after thinking about it for the past two days.
He was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I am considering your safety. If you want to follow the old miracle doctor, you can. But before the war is over, you must return to your cage!"
When she heard the word "Fan Cong", Xiao Qiao bit her lip lightly. She wanted to reply, "Why do you care about me?" But thinking about the days and nights we spent together in the past few days, she was speechless.
Cao Wutan said: "You have never seen the defeated army. When the defeated army arrives, it will not care who you are, the wife of the governor. You must leave before the war is over!"
Xiao Qiao thought about some rumors and turned pale, but still said firmly: "Okay."
The word "good" is already a gathering of all kinds of emotions for this woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
However, she added: "Thank you very much!"
She lifted her hair from her ears and said: "If I have the chance in the future, I would also like to visit your northern mansion. Is it in Yizhou? I heard that Chengdu is full of flowers. What a beautiful place it is!"
There is melancholy, resentment, and a hint of expectation. The eyes on the veil are sparkling, like the stars in the sky, and like the orchids in the empty valley, which people cannot bear to hurt.
At first, Xiao Qiao didn't know Cao Wu's identity, but now that he met Xia Houyuan, he had some guesses, but he didn't reveal it. In her heart, she would rather believe that she had guessed wrong, and that Cao Wu was still Yizhou Biejia, rather than a certain general in Cao's camp.
Although the words were clear, Xiao Qiao knew that her beauty was the cage that trapped her in Jiangdong all her life, unable to escape. The world is so big, but she, Xiao Qiao, can't go anywhere.
Cao Wu didn't know where the impulse came from, but he hugged her.
Xiao Qiao's eyes widened for a moment, but he didn't dodge at all.
With the fragrant wind in his arms, Cao Wudao said: "When the war here ends, there will be opportunities in the future."
Warm and fragrant, Hua Tuo unexpectedly pushed the two of them into the house. He was in a good mood and joked: "You two, please don't mess up the world here!"
After saying this, Hua Tuo closed the door.
In the darkness, Xiao Qiao was still being held by Cao Wu, his whole face was red and his heart was beating faster than a drum.
After a long while, she said: "Sir, let me dance for you."
…
Wu Pushi of Guangling was more than ninety years old, with sharp ears and eyes and perfect teeth.
