Hua Tuo looked at it, shook his head, and said: "This is an injury from a bow and arrow, but the arrow is poisonous and has entered the bone. If it is not treated early, then this arm will be useless." Guan Yu asked: "Then How to cure it?"
He replied: "I have a good treatment plan, but I'm afraid you're afraid to tell me!"
Guan Yu smiled and said, "I'm not even afraid of death. What could be more terrifying?"
Hua Tuo said: "You have to stand next to a pillar, nail a big ring, ask the prince to put his arm through the ring, tie it with a rope, and then blindfold your eyes. I will use a sharp knife to separate your skin and flesh." Open it all the way to your bones, then scrape off all the toxins on your bones, apply it with medicine, and then sew your wound with sutures. It doesn't matter, but the process will be very painful. I'm afraid you will Feel scared!”
After hearing this, Guan Yu burst out laughing and said, "Is that all? That's too easy. There's no need for pillars, and no need to tie them up." So he ordered a banquet to be held in honor of Hua Tuo.
After Guan Yu drank a few drinks, he continued the chess game with Ma Liang and stretched out his injured arm for Hua Tuo to start treatment. So Hua Tuo took out a sharp knife and asked the principal who was with him to bring a large basin to collect the blood under his arm.
Hua Tuo said: "I'm going to take action now, please don't be afraid!"
Guan Yu said: "Just take action without hesitation. Why am I more afraid of pain than ordinary mortals?"
After hearing this, Hua Tuo nodded and began to use the knife to separate the skin and flesh until he reached the bone. He saw that the bone was already green. Hua Tuo used the knife to scrape the bone and heard a sound. Other soldiers in the tent saw it. , a little unbearable, some almost screamed, their expressions were all bad. Then he went to see Guan Yu. He was eating meat, drinking wine, talking and laughing. It seemed that his arm was not his own, and there was no pain on his face. Soon the blood was flowing very fast, and the basin was about to be filled. Hua Tuo was still scraping. The toxins on the bones were finally gone, so they applied medicine and used needles and threads to sew them up.
When Guan Yu saw that the wound was sutured, he stood up with a smile and said to everyone: "My arm is the same as before. There is no pain anymore. You are really a miracle doctor!"
Hua Tuo said: "I have been a doctor all my life, but I have never done anything like this. It is because of God's blessing!"
Guan Yu felt that his arm was much better, and he held a banquet to thank Hua Tuo again. Hua Tuo said: "Although your injury has been cured, you must take good care of it and don't hurt it out of anger. It will recover after a hundred days." It’s past time.”
Guan Yu nodded and took out a hundred taels of gold as a reward. Hua Tuo declined and said: "I heard that the noble prince Gao Yi came here to treat me. How can I ask for your reward? Besides, your brother and I have a deep relationship. It’s fate, so you should do your thing.”
Guan Yu was very surprised after hearing this and said, "Which of my brothers are you talking about?"
He replied: "More than ten years ago, there was a plague in Julu. I was lucky enough to pass by there. With the cooperation of my master Yu Yi, the plague was finally relieved. I also got to know him and gave him Wu Qin Xi as a gift. Waiting for the book, he can be regarded as one of my disciples!"
Guan Yu stepped forward and shook Hua Tuo's hand, trying to persuade him to stay, but Hua Tuo refused. He kept a patch of medicine to cover the sore and said goodbye.
Here Sima Yi returned to Xudu with the remnants and reported the situation to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was furious and said: "There is nothing you can do about these trivial matters. What use do you have?" After saying this, he prepared to send warriors to kill him. Everyone I begged for mercy and then said goodbye.
At this time, spies captured Guan Yu in Jin and beheaded Pang De. The shocking news was reported to Xudu. Cao Cao was very surprised. He gathered civil and military officials to discuss: "I know that Guan Yu is brave and unparalleled, and now he has occupied Jingxiang. Like a tiger with wings, Yu Jin was captured, Pound was beheaded, and the Wei army was defeated. What if he leads his soldiers to attack Xudu again? Am I going to move the capital to avoid it?"
Sima Yi rolled his eyes and said: "No, I heard on the road that Yu Jin was flooded. It was not because of the defeat. There was no harm to the country's plan. Now that Sun and Liu have lost their friendship and Guan Yu has succeeded, Sun Quan must be unhappy. The king can send people to Soochow to discuss the interests and let Sun Quan secretly send troops behind Guan Yu to attack Jingzhou, and then promise to grant Sun Quan the land in the south of the Yangtze River if he sends troops, and then the danger of Fancheng will be eliminated."
The chief secretary Jiang Jidao said: "Sima Yi's suggestion is very good. We can send people to Soochow immediately. There is no need to move the capital!"
Cao Cao nodded and did not move the capital. He said to the generals: "Yu Jin has been fighting with me for more than thirty years. Why is it that at the critical moment, he is not as good as Pang De! Now while he is writing letters and sending people to Soochow, he is also in need. How brave a general is to resist Guan Yu." As soon as he finished speaking, a general came out and said, "Let me go!"
Cao Cao saw that the man was Xu Huang. Cao Cao was very happy and allocated 50,000 elite troops, with Xu Huang as the commander and Lu Jian as the deputy general. They immediately set off to station at Yanglingpo to observe the situation and then go to war.
After Sun Quan got Cao Cao's letter, he read it and happily agreed. Then he wrote a letter for the envoy to take back and gathered Jiangdong civil and military officials for discussion.
Zhang Zhaodao: "Recently I heard that Guan Yu captured Yu Jin and killed Pang De, which shocked China. Even Cao Cao was prepared to temporarily avoid the attack. Now Fancheng is in danger and sent envoys to ask for help. Once the matter is confirmed, there may be a recurrence. "
Before Sun Quan could reply, someone suddenly reported that Lu Meng had returned from Lukou in a small boat, and Sun Quan called in for questioning. Lu Meng said: "Now that Guan Yu has surrounded Fancheng with his troops and horses, he can use them to fight outside and attack Jingzhou."
Sun Quan said: "I'm going to take Xuzhou from the north, what do you think?"
Lu Meng said: "Now Cao Cao is far away in Hebei and has no way to go eastward. Xuzhou doesn't have many soldiers and horses. We can certainly capture it if we go there. However, the terrain conditions in Xuzhou are not good, which is conducive to land warfare but not conducive to water warfare. Even if we can capture it, it will be a disaster." It is difficult to protect, so why not attack Jingzhou first, occupy the entire Yangtze River, and then make a good plan."
Sun Quan said: "I was planning to take Jingzhou, and what I said before was to test you. You can quickly make plans for me, and I will raise troops to meet you!"
Lü Meng then bid farewell to Sun Quan and arrived at Lukou. A scouting horse had already come to report, saying: "Along the river, some are twenty or thirty miles away, some are thirty or forty miles away, and there are beacon towers set up at high places." I heard that Jingzhou's army and horses were there. The purge is probably well-prepared.
Lu Meng looked very surprised and said: "If this is the case, then it will be difficult to plot! I swore in front of Wu Hou that I would capture Jingzhou, what should I do now?" After much deliberation, there was nothing I could do, so I just excused myself because of my illness. Someone Reported to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan heard that Lu Meng was ill and was in a bad mood.
