Looking at Ah Shi's look, Cao Wu knew that if he told her to rest, she must not have had a good rest.
In this era, doctors are similar to witches and are not valued by people, but Ah Shi has a medical kindness that transcends the times. As soon as he arrived in Guangxin, he couldn't stop and went to check on the soldiers protecting the prefect's mansion.
Because Cao Wu wanted to lure the snake out of the cave, these soldiers were carefully selected. They had no injuries, but Ah Shi learned about the situation in the camp from them.
Ah Shi introduced: "In the smoky land of the south, the soldiers are not accustomed to the climate and the soil. When they come here, they become sick."
When she said this, Cao Wu felt relieved. It turned out that it was just because he was not accustomed to the acclimatization and it was not an infectious disease like in Chibi.
On this land, the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River separate the north and the south, and the Five Ridges further divide the south. The ancient people called the miasma land, referring to the special hot and humid climate in Lingnan.
Not to mention this era, even if Cao Wu had no previous life, he would still feel a little uncomfortable when he suddenly moved from the north to the south. It is normal to catch a cold or get a fever.
In fact, Cao Wuben cared about this matter, so he transferred soldiers from those stationed in Jingnan. This not only shortened the transportation time, but also because these soldiers had been buffered in Jingnan for a period of time, and they would not be acclimatized to Lingnan again. It's always going to be lighter.
However, this resulted in the soldiers not being seriously ill. The generals of the various departments had not yet reported the matter, and the attentive Ah Shi discovered it first.
"How sick you are, can you be cured?"
Cao Wu asked.
"Not many people fell ill, but quite a few got minor illnesses and needed to take decoctions. They can probably be cured in ten days."
"Okay, you are an expert, this matter is up to you."
Cao Wu breathed a sigh of relief again. Looking back for five thousand years, Zhang Zhongjing was one of the best doctors in dealing with epidemics. Under Cao Wu's arrangement, Cao Ashi studied medicine with Zhang Zhongjing and learned the true medicine. Although he was still a little short of master, he It's enough to deal with this ailment.
As for the tenth day, it was just enough time for all the troops to rest and recuperate, and for Zhang He to get familiar with the Cangwu soldiers.
These ten days were a rare buffer. He was also planning to make Jiang Wan work harder to inquire about the situation in the four counties controlled by Shi Xie.
With Ah Shi relieved of his worries, he could continue with the layout below.
Jiang Dong's entry disrupted the established strategy he had discussed with Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun when he was in Beifu. He could only adapt to the situation and let Zhuge Liang go south to Jiuzhen County to look for opportunities, and then rest and recuperate while thinking of ways to disrupt Jiang Dong's plan.
…
With a "dong" sound, a small boat docked. Zhuge Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped onto the shore with his robe in hand.
He looked back at the woman behind him and said helplessly: "It's really hot here, and the records in ancient books are true."
Ah San, who was dressed in white and snowy, nodded without saying anything. There was sweat on her forehead, but she didn't wipe it away.
The two walked on the shore for a while. Zhuge Liang wanted to find a topic several times, but seeing that Ah San didn't want to pick it up, he gave up. He thought that the maids in Beifu had different tempers. If Ah Liu were here, he would have followed her. He talked about many topics.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was not a noisy person. Asan ignored him and he thought about how to open up the situation in Jiuzhen County.
He didn't notice that within a few steps of landing, the sweat on Ah San's forehead had disappeared. Her body had adapted to the hot environment and was no longer what it was before.
The two walked for a while, and suddenly several figures appeared and rushed towards them.
Zhuge Liang was shocked and confused at first, but when he saw those figures clearly, he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
It turned out that although those people all looked like men, they were very short in stature, much smaller than Zhuge Liang's eight-foot figure.
Those people only wore animal skins to cover their lower bodies. Their upper bodies were not exposed and they had no clothes.
They roared, holding wooden weapons, and rushed towards the two men while shouting.
Zhuge Liang's eyes were dazzled. Ah San was already standing in front of him. She took off one of the two long swords behind her and held it in her hand for warning.
Perhaps realizing that these savages were not a big threat, Ah San's sword was only less than 30% unsheathed, glowing with cold light, but he did not take action.
"Don't worry, I'll do it."
Zhuge Liang calmed down, stepped forward, and said loudly to the savages: "This is the new county magistrate here. Who are you, and which tribe are you descended from?"
When the savages heard him speak, they all slowed down, but they seemed not to understand what Zhuge Liang was talking about. They looked at each other and howled again.
Zhuge Liang frowned: "Being a foreigner and not understanding the language is troublesome."
While he was talking, a savage rushed forward, said a few words that he couldn't understand, and then threw a wooden spear at Zhuge Liang.
There was a "swipe" sound, and before anyone could react, Asan's sword was unsheathed.
The sword comes out and the gun breaks.
Before the wooden gun that was broken into two parts hit the ground, the tip of Asan's sword was already in front of the savage's throat.
With just this move, all the barbarians who rushed up fell silent. They subconsciously grabbed the weapons in their hands and looked at Zhuge Liang and the two.
Zhuge Liang didn't expect Ah San to act so decisively, but fortunately the effect looked very good, and these savages were frightened.
Of course he would not let this opportunity go. He came here to find opportunities through his sharp tongue.
When he first came here, he thought he was in danger. Now it seems that Cao Wu sent the woman in front of him here to protect him. Cao Wu didn't want him to be in danger, especially this kind of danger. Cao Wu persuaded Cao Wu several times to take the necessary risk. Zhuge Liang insisted on clearing the obstacles for Cao Wu and came here.
Zhuge Liang took a step forward and said, "I am the new county magistrate here. Is there anyone here who can speak Chinese?"
The savages looked at each other again. The savage pointed at by the sword was shaking a little. He seemed to be aware that as long as he moved even a little bit, the woman would stab him to death.
He didn't seem to give up hope and didn't want to sit still and wait for death. There was a slight movement of his hand back.
Several savages from behind saw this and immediately rushed up, shouting and screaming. Their target was still Zhuge Liang. They seemed to want to take Zhuge Liang hostage in exchange for their companions who were pointed at by the sword.
As a result, none of them could rush to Zhuge Liang.
Ah San still had one hand unmoved and a sword unsheathed.
When this sword also released a cold light, all those who were still charging had their weapons broken.
Zhuge Liang licked his lips, he himself was shocked.
After joining Cao Wu's camp, he also began to meet various powerful generals, but none of them were as accurate as Cao Asan. Maybe Cao Asan and Xu Chu were far apart in terms of strength, but in a real life-and-death fight, Cao Asan might not be able to lose.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang sighed.
He was a scholar, and he wanted to communicate with these savages through a scholar's way, but unfortunately, the savages didn't seem to think so.
With no other choice, Zhuge Liang took another step forward.
Here a savage was startled and fell to the ground as his weapon was cut off.
Zhuge Liang stepped on the savage's head and said in a deep voice: "This is the county magistrate here. Find someone who can speak Chinese!"
