In the early Warring States period, there was such a story.
Once, Duke Huan of Qi, who was famous during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, invited the miracle doctor Bian Que to see him.
The State of Qi had two Dukes. The first was Duke Huan of Qi Jiang Xiaobai, the leader of the famous Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period. The second was Duke Huan of Qi Tian Wu, the first king after the Tian family seized power in the State of Qi in the early Warring States Period.
The Duke Huan of Qi whom Bian Que met was the second Duke Huan of Qi, Tian Wu.
This man is domineering and arrogant, and his body is unusually strong.
One day, Duke Huan of Qi was practicing martial arts in the harem and accidentally sprained his foot. He was so painful that he couldn't stop sweating.
The imperial doctor was so anxious that he could not do anything about this kind of trauma, so he invited Bian Que, who specialized in treating bone diseases in Linzi City.
Bian Que stared at Qi Huangong's injury for a moment, then grabbed Qi Huangong's ankle and turned it violently. He heard two sounds of "Crack - Ouch!", and Qi Huangong suddenly relaxed. .
Upon closer inspection, I saw that the redness and swelling on my feet gradually subsided, and I could walk as normal within half an hour.
Duke Huan of Qi was very happy and ordered a banquet to thank him, hoping to establish friendship with Bian Que, a god of the time.
Unexpectedly, when Duke Huan of Qi raised his rank to propose a toast to Bian Que, Bian Que did not raise his rank, but instead raised his hand and said seriously: "The Duke is seriously ill and should not drink alcohol."
Duke Huan of Qi looked displeased and said, "I have no disease."
Bian Que stood up and said politely, "The Yue people are just a doctor. The Duke is not ill, so he should retire. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he left.
Duke Huan of Qi smiled at his ministers and servants and said, "Doctors love to make money. They always describe people who are not sick as sick, just to make money and become famous."
A few days later, Duke Huan of Qi had a whim and sent the imperial physician to invite Bian Que. He asked angrily, "Sir, do you think that I am so full of life, do you still have any illness?"
Bian Que watched intently and solemnly said, "The Duke is seriously ill and should be treated as soon as possible."
Duke Huan of Qi waved his hands angrily and let Bian Que go without saying a word.
But Duke Huan of Qi was stubborn by nature and could never forget this incident. He always wanted Bian Que to say that he was not sick, so he summoned Bian Que again a few days later and asked, "Sir, are you still sick?"
Bian Que said, "The Duke's disease has penetrated into the intestines and stomach and is difficult to cure."
Duke Huan of Qi laughed loudly and patted his chest, "Sir, is there such a strong patient in the world?"
Bian Que didn't say anything and left silently.
A few days later, Duke Huan of Qi thought about it and felt strange. Why did a miracle doctor who traveled all over the world always say that he was sick? And he said it more seriously every time? Could it be that he really has a disease that the imperial doctor cannot detect?
It's better to summon him to take another look. After all, his life is at stake. Otherwise, there will always be a lingering shadow. Unexpectedly, this time Bian Que only glanced at Qi Huangong after entering the palace and left without saying a word. Duke Huan of Qi was greatly surprised and sent his servant to catch up with Bian Que immediately to ask what happened.
Bian Que said to his chamberlain, "The king is seriously ill and there is no cure. What can I say?"
The waiter was surprised, "Sir, didn't you say you could heal someone a few days ago?"
Bian Que smiled and said, "If the disease enters the body, it can be cured by ironing. If the disease enters the blood vessels, it can be cured by moxibustion. If the disease enters the intestines and stomach, good medicine and wine can cure it. If the disease enters the terminal stage, even if God orders it, there is nothing you can do. What about people?"
Five days later, Duke Huan of Qi fell ill. He sent people everywhere to ask Bian Que for treatment, but Bian Que had already left Linzi.
The famous Duke Huan of Qi died suddenly in his prime!
Bian Que has since been regarded as a holy hand in the world.
...
The reason why I tell this story is not to show off Bian Que's superb medical skills, but because the Duke Huan of Qi back then was very similar to the current King Gao Zhao of Goguryeo and the current Liu Huai!
The King of Goguryeo, Gao Zhao, did not believe in heaven or fate, but only in himself. When he first came to the throne, he was very confident that in his hands, the Kingdom of Goguryeo would be able to expand its territory to thousands of miles and stand on the same footing as the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.
Gao Zhao himself was actually considered a wise man. He was always driven by his desire to seek governance. He never gave up on himself when the mountain was on his shoulders. He sacrificed his family, his love and his heart for the country, and developed a small, weak and remote country. is booming.
However, he forgot one sentence: The moon waxes and wanes, and people have joys and sorrows. This is a difficult thing in ancient times!
Unfortunately, fate plays tricks on people, and fortune plays tricks on people. Everyone knows Gao Zhao's ambition. Because of his ambition, his country was trampled twice by Mo Jingchun's iron hoof in the past twenty years, and the capital was burned twice by Mo Jingchun. Burning; the Han people left, and there were still Qin people. In order to get Goguryeo to surrender, Qin kept asking the Qin army to pretend to be pirates and plunder Goguryeo's coastal ports.
One city today, one port tomorrow.
Twenty years passed by in a blink of an eye, and my hair turned gray in the blink of an eye.
In the end, his empire was still in a corner.
In the end, his army never crossed the Zeon River.
His dissatisfaction and resentment cost Qingqing half of his life!
...
Liu Huai was different from Gao Zhao. He was born as a unique true dragon emperor. He was destined to have thousands of miles of land when he was born, so he believed in destiny.
He believed that all this was God's blessing.
However, he does not believe in people.
As long as he can remember, his queen mother Li Fengjiao taught him: The world and the people in the world are all your chess pieces of Liu Huai, including your six masters, they are all your chess pieces of Liu Huai. You can only use them, not trust them, so , the king is always lonely.
Not trusting people is a secret buried deep in Liu Huai's heart.
Under the control of this secret, he believed that only by following his own path could he reach the other side of victory. Therefore, he went his own way and listened less to others. In this expedition to Goguryeo, he insisted on going his own way, which was because he did not believe in These three words "people" are the best explanation.
The results of the two of them may be better than Qi Huangong, but they are not much better. .
...
The book returns to its true story.
The pure white flying flowers in the Taibai Mountains have always been worshiped by the people of the surrounding two countries and considered to be a symbol of purity, peace and happiness.
However, in today's Taibai Mountains, there are countless crises lurking under the vast sky.
...
"Marshal! Marshal! Push it up, push it up again! We will see the light soon!"
Hu Yanwuyou gently shook Fu Wen and kept calling him. He was afraid that Fu Wen would fall asleep and not wake up.
Fu Wen slowly woke up from his memories with Ling Xiao. He smiled gently at Hu Yan Wuyou, wiped his face with snow, rubbed his temples slightly, and remained motionless again.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the sounds across the mountain.
Listening to the sound of horse hooves across the mountain, Huyan Wuyou couldn't hold back his excitement and trembled under the snowdrift and said, "Marshal! Marshal, you hear the sound of horse hooves, it's so dense, I think all the main force of the Han army must be here Come on. Haha!"
Fu Wen was also filled with surprises. He clenched his fists and joked, "I'm not deaf!"
Suddenly, in the blue sky, a big bird with a pure white body and pure black irises spread its wings through the forest and snow, flying towards Fu Wen. Fu Wen took a closer look and saw that it was the most precious bird among the great Qin birds, with white cold feathers. Falcon.
Fu Wen's gray eyes shone brightly and he clenched his fists.
When he was about to leave, Fu Wen made an agreement with the generals in each department not to interact with each other during the period of hiding. Once the time was right, he would immediately send a message with a cold-feathered white falcon. At that time, the five armies would come out to attack the Han army.
Fu Wen suddenly grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth. His eyes were already filled with murderous aura.
The time has come!
The time has come!
.......
An irritable temper is due to few experiences, and a calm mind is due to too much torture.
Liu Huai, the commander-in-chief of the Han army, was a young man with good clothes and good food. Li Fengjiao's doting on him made him live in a hotbed for a long time. Not to mention fighting while sick, he did not experience it even when he led troops on parade.
Let alone lead an army of 150,000 to attack and destroy a country.
Under his "wise command", the Han army, which was separated by a mountain from the Qin army, was unaware of this dangerous situation and was still marching slowly in the snow ditch.
The soldiers led by Liu Qin and Liu Han were walking in the front and rear armies, with their heads drooping and listless, surrounded by snow.
Ai, the sky is clear and blue, they would never have thought that this place is already full of dangers.
During the journey, a goshawk with brocade feathers flew through the wind in the sky and found Li Changhong accurately.
Li Changhong raised his head and took a closer look, and saw that it was the sacred bird in front of His Majesty. He knew that something important was going on and did not dare to neglect it.
He hurriedly took down the secret scroll and opened it. He was shocked and sweating profusely. He immediately used his unique movement technique "Flying Swallow into the Forest" and flew quickly through the army. In a moment, he rushed in front of Liu Huai, without caring about the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers. He said urgently, "Urgent report! Urgent report! Grand Governor, Great Qin has sent out troops! Great Qin will send out troops before the end of the month!"
Liu Huai, who was snoring and drowsy, was surprised at first when he heard this letter. Then he pretended to be calm and shouted loudly, "How can Captain Li make such a fuss about a mere barbarian attack from the Qin Dynasty? How unbecoming is it to be so unruly!" If your heart cannot take on big things, why should you take on big things?"
Li Changhong was stunned on the spot, unable to answer.
He really didn't know what mood, attitude and tone he should use to face the question from the future emperor of the empire. He could only think of the word "lonely and angry".
Wang Biaozhi and Huan Wen, who were beside Liu Huai, also looked at each other in shock when they heard Li Changhong's urgent report.
It’s going to be difficult for Da Qin to send troops!
The two of them had been engaged in military affairs for many years, so they naturally knew that during this expedition, Liu Huai was often dissolute and arrogant in underestimating the enemy. The reason why the two of them remained silent and indulged was because, in addition to being an official and being a favored minister, the biggest premise was that Da Qin stood still and watched from the sidelines.
Wang Biaozhi and Huan Wen believed that as long as the Qin Dynasty did not send troops, even if Goguryeo succeeded in spreading troops, it would be difficult to restore the defeat.
But once the Qin Dynasty sent troops, things would be completely different. What's more, the date of the dispatch of troops was added with the words "more than a month ago". According to the temperament of the tigers and wolves of the Qin Dynasty, I am afraid that the troops have already reached Goguryeo. If the Han army is still acting like this , then the road ahead will be worrying!
When he was speechless, Huwei Zhonglang, General Liu Bi, stepped forward to admonish, "Grand Governor, the best way at this time is to retreat immediately, return to Chisong territory, carefully explore the news, verify the intelligence, and then discuss countermeasures."
Wang Biaozhi and Huan Wen also echoed, "Captain Commander, the Qin army should not be underestimated when it sends troops. It is a safe and sound strategy to retreat back to Chisong County, wait for the situation to be discovered, regroup and start again!"
Liu Huai was full of dissatisfaction, "How can it be reasonable for a large army to go out and return without seeing the enemy's blood?"
The scene became quiet again.
