The Three Kingdoms: Zhaolie, the strategist, and the rise of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 195: Killing Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Guan Gong's Fame Spreads to Henan

However, Cao Cao and Liu Bei each led a team of light cavalry to Yanjin to relocate the people there.

When they reached Nanpi, someone reported that Yuan's vanguard general Wen Chou had arrived.

At Nanpi, five or six hundred cavalrymen arrived first, and then more and more cavalrymen came.

After that, countless infantrymen gathered together.

Although we don't know the combat effectiveness of Wen Chou and his soldiers, the number of them alone is very scary.

Some officers said to Liu Bei:

"The enemy is coming fast. Order the soldiers to collect the horses and retreat to Guandu!"

Xun You saw this and immediately stepped forward to dissuade him:

"This is a good way to lure the enemy, why retreat?"

"In You's opinion, this battle is the right time to capture the enemy."

As he was speaking, Cao Cao arrived.

He found Liu Bei and said solemnly:

"...Xuan De, you just advised me to abandon the baggage, and I think now is the time."

Liu Bei thought to himself that he actually shared the same opinion as Gongda.

So he followed his advice and ordered the soldiers to leave the baggage there.

As Xun You expected, Wen Chou's soldiers saw a large amount of baggage and property at the foot of the mountain.

They came over to grab the goods, and the cavalry even dismounted from their horses to fight for them.

Some of them would rush to the grain cart, take out a knife, pierce the cloth bag, let out the grain, and eat it in their hands.

The soldiers had seized a large amount of food, fodder, and carriages, and now they wanted to steal horses.

For a moment, the soldiers were not in formation and were in disarray.

Wen Chou held up his gun and shouted:
"No chaos! No chaos!"

However, once the formation was dispersed, everyone lost their direction for a while and could not return to their original position.

Seeing this, Cao Hong drew his sword and shouted:

"The bandits are in chaos, we can attack them now!"

Cao Cao hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a little longer!"

Everyone thought to themselves that Cao Cao was quite patient. Now the enemy's formation was in disarray, and by the time Wen Chou stabilized the situation, the opportunity would be gone.

After a while, Liu Bei came and said to Cao Cao:

"The time has come to strike the enemy!"

Cao Cao nodded, drew his sword, and shouted to the soldiers behind him:
"All soldiers, listen up and attack the enemy quickly!"

Almost at the same time, Liu Bei also drew his sword and said to the people behind him:

"Wen Chou is a famous general from Hebei. Who can capture him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang came out.

"Dong dong dong..."

Drums beat loudly on all sides, and shouts of killing shook the sky.

The armies of Cao and Liu, which had been gathering strength at Nanbei for a long time, suddenly rushed down the mountain.

"Report——"

The messenger rushed to Wen Chou and bowed, saying:

"General, the enemy soldiers are coming!"

Wen Chou cursed inwardly, "You still need me to tell you this? Do you think I'm blind?"

"Don't fight anymore, quickly fight off the enemy!"

Wen Chou whipped his whip and cursed, but the soldiers were temporarily in disarray because they were scrambling for the baggage at the beginning.

Now seeing the enemy suddenly charging out, they became even more panicked and didn't know how to form their battle formation.

For a time, the Hebei army was in chaos.

The allied forces of Cao and Liu took advantage of the situation to surround him, but Wen Chou stood up and fought alone.

He brandished a long spear, held his horse with the spear horizontally, and defended the formation tightly.

Come one, kill one.

Come two, I'll buy a pair.

Where the gun was raised, blood gushed out like a fountain and the body fell to the ground.

Whether it was Cao Cao's soldiers or Liu Bei's soldiers, they all knew that Wen Chou was a famous general from Hebei.

His head is worth a lot of money.

Before this, after Guan Yu killed Yan Liang, wasn’t he granted the title of Marquis of Han Shou Ting?
If they could kill Wen Chou and behead him, promotion to higher positions would not be a dream.

Then the soldiers on both sides stood up and tried to capture Wen Chou.

Wen Chou pulled himself together and shouted:
"kill!"

He leaned forward slightly, and as the spear passed by, one could hear the sound of weapons clashing.

Dazzling sparks shot out from the tip of the gun.

The soldiers who surrounded him with long spears could not get close to Wen Chou for a while.

Wen Chou shouted again and thrust out with his spear.

Puff puff……

The move was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen soldiers fell to the ground unwillingly.

Well……

Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who were watching the battle from afar in Nanpi, couldn't help feeling sad when they saw Wen Chou fighting like a trapped beast.

Wen Chou is indeed a general who can be compared with Yan Liang in fame. He is able to hold his own even in dangerous situations.

Liu Bei was attracted by such a powerful general and shouted to the people below:

"General Wen, you are a famous general in Hebei, but helping Yuan Shao is a waste of talent."

"Listen to my words and quickly abandon the dark and join the light."

"If you can help me support the Han Dynasty and be a loyal minister, I will guarantee that you will be promoted to a higher position, and your wife and children will be honored!"

"If you insist on being stubborn, don't say you are ugly, Yan Liang has already been killed by my brother."

"Once the knife is on your neck, it will be too late to regret!"

Liu Bei used both soft and hard tactics to call out to Wen Chou.

Wen Chou was charging around in the chaos, and when he heard the shouts from the bank, he became furious, pointed his spear, and cursed:

"A little boy weaving mats, a dead old man with big ears!"

"I have received great kindness from Lord Yuan, how can I betray my master and surrender to the enemy?"

"Your brother killed my brother. I swear to take your two brothers' heads and offer them as a sacrifice to Yan Liang!"

Liu Bei was also furious when he heard this:
"I mean well, how dare you do this, you rat!"

So he drew his sword and went down to the pond to fight in person.

Cao Cao stepped forward hastily to dissuade them, saying that we are few in number, so a few will defeat the many.

This battle depends on victory by surprise, and we cannot afford to lose.

Big Ear Brother, if you go down, if something happens, won’t our morale collapse?
Wen Chou will be able to turn the tide and win immediately.

Liu Bei refused to listen and insisted on going down. Cao Cao held him back and repeatedly advised him against it.

Xun You also came over to persuade Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's anger gradually subsided.

Cao Cao laughed and said jokingly:
"It's good that Xuande loves talents, but you must know that we won this battle by surprise."

"If you want to win this battle, you must get Wen Chou's head."

In ancient times, the commander-in-chief of an army played the role of a stabilizing force. In many cases, once the commander-in-chief died, the morale of the army would immediately collapse.

This is also the reason why Guan Yu's killing of Yan Liang is so significant. Killing Yan Liang alone directly lifted the entire siege of Bai Ma.

Liu Bei heard this and said:
"I have sent Zhang Wenyuan and Xu Gongming to take Wen Chou's head."

Seeing this, Cao Cao also said to Cao Hong beside him:
"Zi Lian, you should also lead the troops down to help him."

Cao Hong took the order and led a dozen riders to rush down the pond, heading straight in the direction where Wen Chou was.

At this time, Wen Chou was still fighting, unlike Yan Liang who was beheaded on the chariot.

Although Wen Chou was also caught off guard, he was riding a horse and was involved in a melee between the two armies.

The advantage of a melee is that it is difficult for enemy generals to capture your specific location.

You stand on a high place and use your bird's-eye view to better judge the location of the enemy's main general.

But when you actually join the battle, you often lose your sense of direction.

You can see the route to penetrate the headquarters from a high place, and once you actually break in, you will find people everywhere.

Including both our own people and enemies.

This is also why Guan Yu’s killing of Yan Liang is difficult to replicate. Not only is beheading difficult, but it is also very difficult to encounter such an opportunity.

If a fight really breaks out between two armies, you would be extremely lucky if you could meet the enemy's main general.

Cao Hong was extremely lucky. He rode a green horse and charged straight into the army formation.

I didn't know where he was heading to, but he ran into Wen Chou.

Cao Hong was secretly delighted, thinking that since Lord Guan had killed Yan Liang before, the credit for killing Wen Chou should be attributed to me.

Cao Hong was not conceited. The difference between him and Guan Yu was that Guan Yu broke into the battle formation alone.

There is a melee between the two armies now, and Wen Chou's soldiers are currently in disarray, so it is a good opportunity to lead people to kill him.

With this in mind, Cao Hong picked up a red copper knife and urged his horse to kill Wen Chou.

Without saying a word, he started chopping with his knife.

Wen Chou did not recognize Cao Hong and thought he was an unknown man rushing out from the chaos of battle, so he drew his spear and pointed it at him.

The two generals immediately started fighting in the crowd.

After fighting for only a few rounds, Cao Hong realized that Wen Chou was indeed Yuan Shao's trusted and beloved general, and that his martial arts were indeed extraordinary. It would be impossible for him to defeat him in this battle.

Especially Wen Chou was fighting like a trapped beast. As the saying goes, one must fight to the death before he can survive. He knew very well that if he didn't fight hard, he would die.

Therefore, they broke out into amazing fighting power.

Under normal circumstances, Cao Hong could still fight him, but now seeing Wen Chou fighting for his life, he felt a little timid.

Fortunately, there were many people and Wen Chou couldn't kill him.

He simply put away his sword, turned his horse around, and quietly retreated from the battlefield.

After Wen Chou defeated Cao Hong, he became more eager to fight and more energetic.

While they were fighting, they suddenly heard someone shouting from behind:
"Wen Chou, don't leave!"

Wen Chou looked over and saw that they were two brave generals.

They are Zhang Liao and Xu Huang.

Seeing that the two generals were in a hurry, Wen Chou held down his iron spear and rushed into the crowd.

Xu Huang and Zhang Liao were chasing after him.

Wen Chou lowered his body and secretly drew his bow and arrow.

Xu Huang shouted, "Stop shooting from behind, thief!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Chou turned around and shot an arrow at him in the face.

Xu Huang hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse, the horse raised its front hooves, and the arrow hit the horse right in the face.

The horse let out a painful wail, fell to its knees, and Xu Huang fell off with it.

Zhang Liao quickly swung his sword and tried to chop Wen Chou.

Wen Chou had already nocked the second arrow and turned around to shoot another arrow.

Zhang Liao was already on guard at this time and ducked his head to avoid the attack.

An arrow hit the helmet and knocked off the tassel.

Zhang Liao was furious and chased after him with all his might.

Seeing that Zhang Liao was on guard, Wen Chou knew that he could not shoot him, so he turned around and attacked him with a spear, aiming at his heart.

Zhang Liao raised his knife to block it.

Wen Chou missed the first shot, so he shot again.

His attacks were as fast as lightning, each shot was as quick as a gunshot, and as fast as a violent storm.

In an instant, Zhang Liao was covered by layers of gun shadows.

The two generals fought each other, their swords and spears clashed, and they met their match.

After fighting for twenty rounds, Wen Chou realized that he could not defeat Zhang Liao for the time being.

Looking around, he saw that the enemy troops were surrounding him, and thought to himself that if this continued, it would be difficult to escape.

At this moment, Wen Chou had only two choices.

the first,

While the armies of Cao and Liu have not yet fully controlled the battlefield situation, they stopped the losses in time and withdrew.

second,

To catch a bandit, you must first catch the leader. If you kill Cao Cao or Liu Bei, the bandit army will be defeated.

Previously, Yan Liang was killed and the Hebei army suffered a setback, so Wen Chou took the initiative to lead the troops to seek revenge.

Although we have fallen into the enemy's trap, overall there are still more troops in Hebei and fewer in Henan.

Although there is a slight disadvantage, it is not completely impossible to escape.

Therefore, Wen Chou chose the second option, which was to capture the leader first, so he captured Cao Cao first!
The Hebei generals hated Cao Cao more than Liu Bei.

When there was civil unrest in Yanzhou, the people of Hebei actually came forward to help Cao Cao.

Not only did Yuan Shao give money to people, but the generals from Hebei also went to the battlefield in Dongjun to participate in the battle in person.

This is also the reason why Yuan Shao always kept saying that he had done a favor to the Cao family and that Cao Cao would have died several times over if he hadn't lived up to his words.

Now that Cao Cao has grown powerful, he no longer respects Big Brother and even dares to rebel, calling Big Brother a traitor.

How could the Hebei generals not be angry?
Wen Chou had fought several battles in a row and had lost a lot of physical strength.

Therefore, he saved enough strength and charged towards the pond with all his might, heading straight for Cao Cao.

A scout had already informed Cao Cao, saying:

"Report to Minister Cao! The thief general Wen Chou is coming to kill our troops!"

"Wen Chou is coming at me!?"

Cao Cao was both shocked and angry, thinking to himself, is Wen Chou looking for death?

Although he did not leave many men on the bank, they were all his most elite and trusted soldiers.

As the commander-in-chief, how could Cao Cao not have strong warriors around him?

"Kill him quickly!"

Cao Cao didn't even bother to take a look. He just waved his hand and continued to look at the battlefield below the pond.

Unexpectedly, Wen Chou, faced with the layers of defenses of Cao's army, actually reined in and whipped his horse, risking his life to charge forward.

Wen Chou was shot several times, his wounds were oozing pus, his helmet was crooked, and his armor was tilted.

He still risked his life to go up the pond and kill Cao Cao.

At this time, Wen Chou had no time to withdraw his troops.

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Now he has only one thought.

If Cao Cao is killed, his army will surely be defeated, and the few remaining Liu troops will hardly pose a threat.

Wen Chou was able to turn the situation on the battlefield around.

"Well!"

When Cao Cao turned around suddenly, he saw that Wen Chou had actually broken through layers of obstacles and was getting closer and closer.

No one could stop them and Wen Chou broke in.

Wen Chou did not kill them, but just chased Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao saw this, he felt a little frightened and quickly reined in his horse and retreated.

Under the escort of several brave cavalrymen, he headed straight for Liu Bei's army.

"...Xuan De, save me!" Liu Bei was drawing his sword and supervising the battle when he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind.

Looking back, I realized it was Cao Cao.

Just when he was wondering, he saw that there was a general chasing after Cao Cao.

The general was covered in blood, his eyes were red, and he rushed forward without caring about his life, like a god of death.

Liu Bei rarely saw such a scene, so he waved his hand and said:

"Lord Cao, come to my army quickly!"

While shouting, he glanced at Guan Yu beside him.

Guan Yu did not go into battle just now because he had to protect Liu Bei.

There was chaos and noise at the foot of the pond. No one knew how far the battle had gone and whether Wen Chou was dead or not.

As a result, they saw that Wen Chou had already rushed up the pond on horseback and was chasing Cao Cao.

Guan Yu thought to himself, Cao Gong gave me the claw Huang Feidian, and the horse he sat on was not strong enough and was chased by Wen Chou.

If anything happens, it will be Guan's fault.

Without thinking, he urged his horse to charge out of the battle formation, almost at the same time as Liu Bei's shout.

When Wen Chou was chasing Cao Cao, he suddenly saw a man coming in a hurry.

He dragged the dragon sword backwards and rushed towards him with great momentum.

Seeing his appearance and words similar to those of the spies, he shouted:
"Could the person coming here be named Guan?"

Guan Gong had confirmed that this person was Wen Chou, and immediately replied:

"It was Guan."

Wen Chou became angry and shouted with his spear in hand:

"Red-faced thief, you are so bold to kill my brother!"

"I am here on Lord Yuan's orders to avenge Yan Liang."

"I wanted to kill the traitor Cao Cao before, but I didn't know you would come here to die. Please hurry up and let's fight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Gong suddenly jumped up and struck him in the face with a sword.

Wen Chou immediately raised his gun and held it.

All I heard was a loud "clang, clang..." and sparks exploded.

Yunchang's arms shook as he held the iron spear.

The two generals fought for a few rounds. Wen Chou saw that Guan Gong was too strong and could not kill him at once.

He rode alone into the dangerous situation, waiting for Cao Cao, Liu Bei and other generals to react.

What should I do if they come together to kill me?
Wen Chou then abandoned Guan Yu and rushed down the pond.

How could Guan Yu be willing to give up?

He sat down on his horse, Huang Fei, as fast as lightning, caught up with Wen Chou and stabbed him in the back of the head.

Wen Chou felt a chill on his back, and by the time he realized something was wrong, the knife had already reached the back of his neck.

All I heard was a "Shua!"

Bright red blood spurted out from behind Wen Chou's head, splashing like a fountain.

The spear fell to the ground and the body rolled off the horse.

Seeing Guan Yu kill Wen Chou, Liu Bei was overjoyed and turned around to say to everyone:
"My second brother is invincible!"

Cao Cao seized the opportunity, whipped his whip and gave orders, driving his troops to attack.

Wen Chou's army was already in chaos. Their leader Wen Chou was missing, and they saw a large number of troops rushing down from the pond.

There was chaos all of a sudden, and the soldiers trampled on each other.

Guan Yu led a few cavalrymen to charge left and right in the chaotic formation, forcing most of the Hebei army into the water.

The food and supplies that had been taken away by Wen Chou's army were once again recaptured by the allied forces.

In this battle, the Cao-Liu coalition won a great victory!
Cao Cao and Liu Bei each gathered their troops and counted the food and fodder.

Then he ordered his troops back to Guandu, hosted a grand banquet for all officials, and congratulated Yunchang and other generals on their achievements.

As for Wen Chou's corpse, he was still ordered to show it to all the camps to boost the morale of the three armies.

Wen Chou was a famous general from Hebei, and many people in the army were very afraid of him.

When he heard that he had been beheaded, he was surprised and asked who had done it.

He said it was Guan Yu, and then asked:

"Isn't it Guan Yu who killed Yan Liang and was granted the title of Marquis of Han Shou Ting?"

"Exactly."

For a time, Guan Yu became famous.

Not stated.

When Yuan Shao led his army to Yanjin, someone reported that the vanguard general Wen Chou had been killed by Guan Yu.

Yuan Shao was furious:
"This red-faced thief killed two of my favorite generals. I swear to kill him!"

Guo Tu was beside him and gave advice:
"We have lost two generals in a row, which has dampened morale. We should not fight again right away."

Yuan Shao also knew this, so he ordered his soldiers to go ahead and set up camp at the sour jujube place.

The army set up camps for dozens of miles and remained on hold for the time being.

At the same time, Yuan Shao urged Shen Pei in Hebei to quickly transport food and fodder.

On the other hand, he personally came forward to appease the officers and soldiers.

Yuan Shao's reputation still exists, and many of the generals have received favors from him.

With Yuan Shao's personal mediation, the soldiers quickly recovered from the shadow of the deaths of Yan Liang and Wen Chou in battle.

Guo Tu again advised Yuan Shao:

"The last time we lost our fighting spirit, it's not appropriate to fight again right away."

"Now that the soldiers have regained their morale, the grain and grass for the public are on the way."

"Why is Mr. Yuan still lingering here?"

Yuan Shao smiled mysteriously:
"I had originally intended to wipe out Cao Cao at the beginning of the month."

"I didn't expect Cao Cao to join forces with Liu Bei and kill two of my favorite generals. This is really a problem."

Guo Tu thought to himself, how can you still laugh?

But on second thought, Yuan Shao smiled so calmly, could it be that he had other plans in mind?
So he asked aloud:
"I am ignorant, could it be that you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Yuan Shao stroked his beard and smiled:
"This time I am leading the army to the south, intending to destroy Cao first and then Liu."

"The people Cao Cao relied on were the people from Qiao County and Yingchuan."

"If he dies, then the tiger will have no claws and the bird will have no wings. There is no need to worry about him."

Guo Tu was startled, leaned forward and asked:
"Cao Cao has many guards around him. How can we kill him if we don't destroy his main force?"

"Could it be... um!"

At this point, Guo Tu had already guessed something in his mind.

"Could it be that Lord Yuan has instigated the guards around Cao Cao to rebel?"

"...Shh."

Yuan Shao made a gesture to keep quiet, "This matter is a major secret, don't let too many people know about it."

Guo Tu said "Oh", bowed, and whispered in Yuan Shao's ear:
"How did Lord Yuan instigate the guards around Cao Cao to rebel?"

"Cao is a suspicious person by nature. Anyone who can stay by his side must be trustworthy."

Yuan Shao smiled:
"This man's name is Xu Ta, and he is a subordinate of Dian Wei."

"Since Dian Wei's death, Xu Ta felt that he had no way out. It just so happened that my spies from Yecheng infiltrated Yingchuan."

"Xu took advantage of the situation and surrendered to me, swearing allegiance to the Yuan family."

"Recently, he has been exchanging letters with me."

"Cao Cao has won two battles in a row, and he is very proud of himself. He must have been careless in his defense."

"You can ask Xu Ta to find an opportunity to assassinate him. If this happens, Cao Cao will be dead."

"If he dies, how can Cao fight against my army?"

Guo Tu was full of admiration and kept praising Yuan Gong for his wisdom.

……

Here, Cao Cao and Liu Bei led the victorious army back to Guandu and successfully relocated the people of Yanjin back.

I thought it was a double happiness, but unexpectedly, another piece of good news came at this time.

While they were celebrating the victory, someone reported that Li Yi, Marquis of Tan, had arrived with his troops.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this. "We were just thinking about how to fight Yuan Shao. Zi Yu's arrival is just the right thing to solve my worries!"

Li Yi's arrival not only gave the Henan coalition forces at the Guandu front an extra think tank, but more importantly, Li Yi came with an army of 10,000.

Cao and Liu both had considerable numbers of soldiers and horses.

But each state and county had to retain enough manpower, especially since Cao Cao had a vast territory and Liu Bei had just conquered Qingzhou.

Qingzhou is now a war zone, and it is difficult for Liu Bei's camp to gain positive benefits from it.

So up to now, the war has been going on for a long time and both families are feeling very uncomfortable and neither can compromise.

The outcome of this war can only be victory or destruction.

Soon, someone reported that Li Yi had arrived at Guandu.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei personally led people out to meet him.

"Zi Yu!"

When Liu Bei saw Li Yi, he stepped forward, took his hand, patted it gently, and said:
"…Sir, I'm sorry for the trouble."

"...Haha, we are all on the battlefield, and everyone is suffering. How can I be the only one?"

Liu Bei told Li Yi the news that he had recommended Li Yi to the court as the governor of Qingzhou, and Li Yi gladly accepted it.

Liu Bei invited him into the camp to discuss the next steps.

"Sir, you came at a good time. The cook has just finished preparing the meal."

"Sir, here we are, just in time for the heat."

Li Yi was invited into the camp to attend a celebration banquet, and Liu Bei also rewarded Li Yi with fifty bottles of wine, fifty kilograms of mutton, and two silver bowls.

To reward their hard work and great achievements.

Li Yi himself couldn't eat so much wine and meat.

He simply filled the silver bowl with wine, drank two bowls, and then distributed the remaining wine and meat to his soldiers who had made great contributions.

Since it was a banquet, everyone was in a good mood and no one was in a hurry to get down to business.

Li Yi looked around and keenly noticed something, so he asked Cao Cao beside him:
"Why is General Cao Hong missing?"

Cao Hong was a soldier in Cao's camp, and Li Yi should not have interfered in his affairs.

But Li Yi is very sharp-minded and likes to get involved in everything. Besides, he is now the leader of Henan, so he has the right to intervene in this matter.

Cao Cao said:

"Before in Yanjin, Zi Lian accidentally injured his right arm during the battle with Wen Chou."

"It is inevitable for a man to bump into others when he is on the battlefield. Zi Lian did not take it seriously at first."

"It's just that the wound seems to have worsened, and Zi Lian has lost his appetite, so he didn't come to the banquet."

Li Yi thought to himself that the wound was getting worse, so it must be infected.

"Could you please have a doctor take a look?"

"The doctor prepared several doses of medicine, but there was no improvement."

Seeing this, Liu Bei stood up and said:

"There is a miraculous doctor in the army. Why not ask him to come and see General Zilian?"

Cao Cao then asked who the miracle doctor was.
Liu Bei replied that it was Zhang Zhongjing from Changsha.

Cao Cao was overjoyed. "I have heard of Dr. Zhang's great name for a long time. If he can help, Zi Lian's illness can be cured!"

So Liu Bei sent someone to go to the camp to invite Dr. Zhang.

Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Li Yi went to visit Cao Hong at the same time.

Cao Hong was staying in the camp when he suddenly saw so many people coming to see him. He was surprised and puzzled.

After asking about the purpose of his visit, he found out that it was Cao Cao who helped him find a miracle doctor.

Cao Hong said helplessly:

"It's just a small sore, why mobilize so many troops?"

If everyone came to give him money, he would be in a better mood.

In the end, he just had to treat himself, which really disappointed him.

Li Yi said beside him:
“No matter whether it is a minor illness or a major injury, it should be taken seriously. If a minor illness turns into a major illness, it will be too late to regret.”

Cao Cao also chimed in and said:
"Mr. Li is right. Although it is a minor injury, we must be careful."

"Zi Lian is my trusted and beloved general, and I must not let him lose."

Cao Hong thanked him and accepted Zhang Zhongjing's treatment seriously.

Zhang Zhongjing asked Cao Hong to show him the wound, and Cao Hong did as he was told and took off his clothes.

It turned out that the wound was already bleeding. If it was not treated in time, the injury would really get worse.

Therefore, Zhang Zhongjing prescribed several doses of internal harmonizing medicine for Cao Hong.

"General Zilian, just follow the prescription I gave you and take care of your health."

"After resting for more than a month, the injury will heal on its own."

Upon hearing this, Cao Hong stood up and said loudly:
"The war is so intense, how can I wait for a month?"

He didn't want to move too violently and tore the wound. He cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

Everyone hurriedly helped him up, and Zhang Zhongjing reprimanded him:
"I told you to take good care of yourself, but you were so impatient."

"Now that the wound has been torn, it has to be treated again."

Cao Cao then asked:

"I wonder how Dr. Zhang plans to deal with this?"

Zhang Zhongjing sighed:

"General Zilian's wound has a piece of dead flesh left. I want to remove it."

"It's just that I'm not good at treating external injuries, so I can't make a decision."

Upon hearing this, Cao Hong tore the clothes on his chest and shouted:
"A real man is not afraid of death on the battlefield, so why should he be afraid of a knife?"

"If Dr. Zhang wants to cut the flesh, please do it quickly."

Zhang Zhongjing explained:
"General Zilian doesn't know that it's not me who can't kill me."

"Rather, they are worried that the wound will not be properly treated, which will delay the disease."

What Zhang Zhongjing is best at is actually preventing epidemics and treating internal diseases such as typhoid fever.

He's not very good at surgery.

But even so, Zhang Zhongjing's surgical skills were still far superior to those of other doctors.

Because medical skills in this era are just medical techniques and are not well-received.

Therefore, there are very few doctors, and even fewer who are proficient in the art.

The doctors in the army will only bandage your wounds symbolically.

If you can survive, you are lucky.

If you don't survive, that's your fate.

"Does Dr. Zhang have any other ideas?"

Cao Cao asked.

Zhang Zhongjing stroked his beard and said thoughtfully:
"Recently, I heard that there is a doctor who is good at treating external injuries near Zhongmu."

"He treats it for free, why not ask him to come and give it a try."
