An autumn rain and a cold.

In an unremarkable dilapidated house made of branches in Hadong County, a man wearing a hat leaned against a crumbling window. In addition to the wind blowing in from the window, there is also the rain leaking from the roof.

The man was motionless, as if asleep.

The wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and with a bang, several pieces of wood fell. "Mr. Jing also failed? How are you going to replace him with the master?" The visitor arrogantly said, "I usually look like an expert outside the world, but it turns out that it is not much different from our brothers? It's just that the ability to escape is not ordinary."

The man touched the new scar on his thigh and snorted: "If I really want to kill, no one can stop me. I just don't want to make too many murders."

"Oh? Hehe. Then you tell me, how did you assassinate the little emperor from the siege of thousands of people?" The Yuan family's assassin crouched down, but his eyes were full of mockery.

."

"Poison?" The assassins looked at each other and laughed, "We are not laymen, it's your turn to remind us? But the Cao family's kitchen is guarded like an iron bucket. Besides, the emperor eats Before anything, someone will try it."

"Ha, this must be eaten to take effect, it is all poison in the world." "Mr. Jing" shook the small porcelain bottle, "If you touch it, it will kill you, it is the poison of heaven. ."

The Yuan family's assassins stopped talking, and said suspiciously: "You better not brag." After that, the leader reached out to grab it.

"Mr. Jing" quickly stuffed the small porcelain bottle back into his arms. "You still don't know what Sky Poison is. Open this cork, and no one in this room can escape."

Everyone gasped.

"What do you want?"

"Prepare me an idiot, a son of an aristocratic family who can get close to Liu Xie. I think that the fool from the fifth house of Hedong Wei's family is not bad, and secretly flirting with Yuan Shu, don't tell me Yuan Shao is reluctant ."

"This... I have to report to the master."

"Oh, go, go, don't make me wait too long. I'm doing this errand with my life." He said, with a dim light in his eyes.

The "Assassination" that took place in the fall of 191 was a major crime of the century that shocked thirteen states across the country.

At the end of September, Cao Cao, who was the least victim of the locust plague that year, lined up his troops and led an army of 80,000 troops to the south, aiming at Shouchun, the capital of Yuan Shu. Along the way, counties and counties that were short of rations looked down on the wind. In less than a month after the expedition, the entire territory of Yuzhou and two counties of Yangzhou were laid, forming a siege to Shouchun.

For a time, the princes in the sea were like birds of a feather, and they all wrote to pay tribute. Even Yuan Shao sent envoys to Xuxian to deliver the New Year's gifts, which meant a lot of peace. The families of the ministers in Xu County are like a city, so the old friends and relatives keep coming and going.

The little emperor is even worse here. Posts from all over to invite him to enjoy the scenery and hunt are like snowflakes. Ninety-nine percent of them were rejected. But it happened to be the remaining 1% where something went wrong.

In October, Emperor Han visited Hedong to appease the people in Guanzhong. At that time, some children of wealthy families attacked the mountain barbarians and captured more than 100 prisoners. They shot and killed them in the hunting grounds for fun. Emperor Han stopped the atrocities and purchased the survivors from the internal treasury. Eight of them suffered from episodic sores, which suddenly erupted and wounded people. The Han emperor became ill and had a high fever.

At that time, Cao Sheng was transporting grain and grass for the front line in Yingchuan. He heard that he was riding a horse day and night.

On October 21st, the whole territory of Hedong was blocked, and entry was not allowed.

The emperor was infected with the plague, the news was like a bolt from the blue, blowing the brains of people who were addicted to the grand scene. Yang Biao, who followed the emperor to patrol Guanzhong, was about to apologize to death.

"Before Duke Zhonghua went to Yingchuan, he urged me to entrust His Majesty to me. But I ended up like this, and the old minister is extremely ashamed." He knelt outside Liu Xie's residence again and again Kowtow, the skin is broken.

Standing around the dormitory are medical officers and medical girls in blue and white uniforms, their faces are as solemn as statues, and there are only occasional expressions of sympathy in their eyes.

"Yang Gong, please get up." Finally, a young doctor came to persuade him, "Master Cao said she has encountered a sore."

"A total of seven layers of blockades have been set up in the dormitory, mansion, county town, and border. The medical officials from Xu County have rushed out, and they have to transfer people from Qingzhou. Even tuberculosis and dysentery have not been seen. Duke Zhonghua is like a great enemy." Yang Biao grabbed the little doctor girl, "Tell me the truth, what is the disease of the sore?"

"What is the disease?"

"Eight or nine out of ten the dead, and the ones who survive are covered in scars. What kind of disease is this?"

The little doctor girl is about to cry, and she can't earn it.

"Why should Duke Yang embarrass her, she is still an apprentice." A young man in his thirties persuaded, "The sore is also called smallpox. Because it was first discovered on the barbarians, That’s why the Central Plains are often referred to as scabies. Duke Zhonghua once said that fortunately there was no smallpox among the Han people, otherwise even she would not have been able to save so many people.

Yang Biao raised the doctor's neckline with red eyes.

The young man showed a painful look on his face: "Dong Huagong personally took care of His Majesty inside, but also took the risk of contracting the disease. I will finish the work of the blockade, and prevent the epidemic from leaving Hedong to Yanzhou. Going to Qingzhou can be considered as helping her."

Yang Biao let go of his hand, as if he was more than twenty years old in an instant.

At this time, a doctor girl pushed open the door, revealing a crack. The fully-armed white mask and white gloves swept the whole body up and down, revealing only a pair of eyes that were quite agile.

"Decoction." She said, "Ren Bai listens to the prescription."

The young man who had just talked to Yang Biao rolled up his sleeves, sat down on the table under the corridor, and picked up his writing brush.

"Two liang of Bupleurum, one or two halves of honeysuckle, six coins of cohosh, one liang of kudzu..." [1] After writing it, I checked it twice, and then the medical officer Ren Bo went to personally Grab medicine.

Yang Biao was about to follow, but was stopped by the female doctor inside. "Yang Gong. Zhonghua Gong said that the sores seldom appear in the north of the Dajiang River. This is a strange thing. I am afraid that someone sent the patient to the east of the river for His Majesty."

Yang Biao's eyes almost popped out.

I only heard Cao Sheng's voice from far away from the crack of the door: "I have to take care of two children now, and I can't get away, so I will leave this to Taiwei Yang."

."

The door was sewn together, and the light in the room dimmed again.

Liu Xie was lying on the huge couch, and there was another one on the small bed beside it, which was Xia Houchong of Xiahou Dun's family. Both children were flushed and had pimples on their chests and backs.

"Cao Zi, itchy, woohoo." Liu Xie cried in his dream, dazed. Ah Sheng had to have someone hold his hand to prevent him from scratching the abscess on his body.

As for Xia Houchong, he has more strength, and it takes three people to hold down this bear child.

"It's my fault." Ah Sheng said, then rubbed a towel with cold water and covered the two children's foreheads.

"How can you say it's the master's fault?" The medical officer next to him continued, "The first is the assassin, the second is the poor guard of Yulin Guard, and the third is the arrogance of the Hedong family. Nothing."

"I was the first to take the emperor out of the city, naturally it was my fault." Ah Sheng lowered his eyes and stared at the little emperor's face full of pustules, as if suppressing the endless darkness, "I Claiming to be the second best in the world in medical skills, it is my fault that I failed to anticipate the enemy's opportunities."

"Master, even if Your Majesty stays in Xu County, this sore will also sneak into the school. If you have no heart, how can you prevent them from doing this? And sometimes the manpower is exhausted, even if Master Hua, there are also people who cannot be cured."

A Sheng raised his head: "If you have the skill to speak, it's better to cook some sweet porridge. Children are now relying on themselves to cook, and taking medicine is not as effective as eating."

"No."

At the same time, on the Shouchun front, Cao Cao was calling the door under the city. On the opposite side, Yuan Shu was setting a table on the tower to drink and sing.

"Cao Amo, you're running too fast, you can't keep up with the food now. I have ten years' worth of food in my Shouchun City, and the city is 20 feet high. Let's see who can afford it. Who."

Cao Cao laughed: "Yuan Gonggong, you have looted all the surrounding counties, so naturally you have ten years of food. I, Cao Cao, can't help you, I can only live in Yangzhou and not leave. Let's waste, waste. After ten years, Lujiang County, Danyang County, and Kuaiji County have forgotten who you are, and it will not be too late for you to come out of Shouchun City."

"You—"

"I have already played to Your Majesty, and asked His Majesty to appoint the prefects of the five counties of Yangzhou, who will be appointed soon. You should guard the lonely city of Shouchun and live your Spring and Autumn Dreams."

Although he knew that Cao Cao wanted to go beyond Shouchun and directly rule Yangzhou would be ruthless, but Yuan Shu was still on top. "Bah, just that sick boy Liu Xie, he had no idea how many secret injuries he suffered outside the customs in his early years. I'm not sure when the serious illness will be gone."

Cao Cao's face changed: "How dare you curse the emperor."

Yuan Shu: "Who is not the emperor anymore? I am also the emperor, so I said, he won't live to be a child, what can you do to me?" King, joke!

At this moment, the messenger galloped to the front of the battle on horseback, almost rolling and crawling over to Cao Cao's feet. "Dalang, Xu County urgently reports."

It's an old man from the spy department, he's seen it before. There was no problem with the facial management of the spy staff, but Cao Cao was keenly aware that this was probably bad news. "Let's go, let's go back to camp."

Yuan Shu was even more proud when he saw that Cao Cao was silent. "Look at it, when Liu Xie's little thing whose blessing was so thin that the emperor's mausoleum collapsed dies, you still have to come and apologize to me."

The author has something to say: [1]: The traditional Chinese medicine prescription for smallpox was made up by me.
