Chapter 461 Gambling, Success [Subscription Request]

"Who is in contact with Xu You?"

"We in the Great Wei encourage commerce. We cannot prohibit it by allowing merchants to enter the country. Spies from all sides often use the trade routes to enter our Shenzhou."

Jia Xu talked to Cao Cao, "From my analysis, the other party is probably related to Buddhism, but it is also closely related to the Xianbei."

The war between Wei and Xianbei was imminent, and both sides were doing their best to find out information about each other.

The other party contacted Xu You, obviously connecting with the clue left by the Buddhists.

Da Foshou and Afu Yu had teamed up to ambush and kill Cao Cao in Wusun, and the two sides had been in contact for a long time.

The top Buddhist leaders dare not come to China again.

But they must have been hiding behind the scenes to provide information clues to the Xianbei.

It must be the Buddhists who revealed the clues that Xu You could use to the Xianbei.

The Xianbei sent people to enter Han territory by means of traveling merchants and reconnected with Xu You.

"What are the women who are close to Zixiu doing these days?"

"Your Majesty suspects it was her?"

"She wants to stay dormant in our Wei for a long time, and won't do anything that might expose her. But the two parties may not be disconnected, so we have to keep a close eye on them.

If the Xianbei are at a disadvantage in the war with our Great Wei, it is possible that they will use poison on Zixiu to threaten me.

If there is any unusual movement, he will be killed without mercy."

Cao Cao changed the subject: "Wenhe, although Xu You has some scheming, it will be difficult for him to succeed in putting the medicine into Fengxiao's cup."

"Think of an idea and give him a hand.

If he fails, you take action.”

Jia Xu's whole body tensed up: "I will help Xu Ziyuan put the medicine into the Fengxiao cup?"

Jia Xu visibly swallowed his saliva, and a risk assessment report was quickly generated in his mind:
"If Fengxiao finds something wrong afterwards, he will think back and find out the reason."

Cao Cao: "It's okay. You are doing this for his own good. If he finds out, you can say that I asked you to do it."

He doesn't dare to look for you, Your Majesty, but he dares to look for me... Jia Xu's thoughts raced. Is there any way to do it without leaving any trace so that Guo Jia won't be able to find him afterwards?

Guo Jia secretly visited brothels and refused to change his behavior despite repeated warnings.

After so many years of treatment, the situation is the same as in previous years, neither better nor worse.

Those best medicinal herbs were eaten into the dog's stomach.

When Zhang Zhongjing consulted Hua Tuo, Guo Jia said with his neck stiff that he abided by the rules and never disobeyed the doctor's advice.

This time it's just right, to teach him a lesson he will never forget.

It's getting late.

Cao Cao left the study.

On both sides of the corridor, lights flickered and windproof lanterns were hung.

To the east of the Tongquetai Palace, on the adjacent long street, there is a square-shaped hall.

You can smell the medicinal aroma from this building across the long street.

Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo took turns opening the clinic and practicing medicine.

Because of the presence of these two people, this clinic has become a holy place for doctors.

There are always patients coming to seek medical treatment and medicine, and many colleagues also come to learn from each other about the art of medicine.

Not long ago, a man came to discuss medical principles with Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji. It turned out that he also had outstanding medical skills and profound attainments.

When Cao Cao arrived, he saw the new doctor was there too.

Hua Tuo was decocting medicine in the inner house, while Zhang Zhongjing and the new doctor were sitting in the yard chatting.

Seeing Cao Cao coming in, the two of them stood up quickly:

"His Majesty."

[Dong Feng, courtesy name Junyi, alias Baqian, from Changle]

[Dong Feng is good at health preservation and internal and external treatment, and is also good at gathering wind and drinking dew, the art of Qi Huang's elixir, and medical practice]

Dong Feng was another famous doctor in the late Han Dynasty who was comparable to Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji.

He studied medicine when he was young and is thirty years old this year.

In history, he lived in seclusion at the foot of Mount Lu in his later years and died at the age of 110.

There are records that say that someone saw him at the age of eighty, still looking like a middle-aged man, without a single strand of white hair, picking herbs in the mountains, walking briskly, like an immortal.

He has excellent medical skills and treats patients without asking for money.

Those who sought his treatment and whose serious illnesses were cured only needed to plant five apricot trees in the mountains, while those who recovered from minor illnesses only needed to plant one apricot tree.

Ten or so years later, there were tens of thousands of apricot trees, forming a lush forest.

When apricots were ripe in the summer, Dong Feng built a straw warehouse under the tree to store them.

Anyone who needs apricots can exchange them for millet. The millet earned can then be used to help the poor, and the reputation of doing good deeds will be known throughout the world.

The allusion of "warmth of apricot forest" that was used by later generations to praise doctors originated from Dong Feng, praising his medical ethics and skills.

He, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji were collectively known as the "Three Great Doctors of Jian'an" in the late Han Dynasty.

Dong Feng was of ordinary stature, with calm eyes, and was wearing a long brown linen robe.

"If Your Majesty has something to ask, just summon me over. Why come here in person?" Zhang Zhongjing said.

After Cao Cao established the country, he appointed Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo as the top medical officials.

Therefore, Zhang Ji regarded himself as a minister.

The two of them were also responsible for handling many of the elixir recipes and medicinal stones obtained from tomb raiding over the years. They screened out the useful ones and used them to treat diseases and save lives.

"I just came out for a walk."

Cao Cao: "After taking the Yin-Yang Suspension Potion you made, will the effect disappear on its own over time, or will it require targeted treatment to recover?"

“The Yin-Yang Reversal Potion was prepared by me and Yuanhua according to the ancient recipe. Our original intention was to test the effect of reversing the Yin-Yang process.

Among them, a thousand-year-old corpse-attracting jade was used, which was then crushed into powder with a moonlight bead. They are both medicines of great yin and great yang, and when stimulated by a fierce fire, the medicinal power is extremely powerful.

Taking the medicine can reverse the yin and yang, men will shrink their penis, women will have the opposite effect, their body hair will grow thicker, their voices will become rougher, they will grow beards, etc. Men will have the opposite effect.

Without targeted treatment, recovery will take three to five years."

"That's good."

Cao Cao was relieved and said, "Fengxiao did not follow the doctor's advice. No one is allowed to save him this time."

"If he comes to seek medical treatment, you and Yuan Hua can only say that you can't tell what disease he has and that it is difficult to treat, and let him be punished."

Zhang Zhongjing also had no way to deal with Guo Jia. He quickly agreed to the emperor's instructions and said in a somewhat strange way:
"Before your Majesty came, Wenhe had someone take away the last bottle of Yin-Yang Suspension Potion."

It seems that Jia Wenhe is preparing to take action himself... Cao Cao thought.

……

Guo Jia simply called it bad luck that he could meet an acquaintance even when visiting a brothel.

Cao Cao and Jia Xu kept it a secret that Xu You was used to fish. Guo Jia did not know that Xu You was a bait. At that time, the Buddhists were found because of their contact with Xu You.

But they themselves didn't know what went wrong.

Therefore, I will contact Xu You again.

Guo Jia entered the courtyard he rented in the bridal chamber.

In order to avoid acquaintances, he usually chats with high-level customers in a private courtyard.

Guo Jia sat down at the main seat: "I covered myself up, but Xu Shuling still recognized me at a glance. Could it be that he was waiting for me here?"

Just one encounter made Guo Jia alert... Xu You felt a chill in his heart:
“I heard there are many foreign singers here.

The dancers from the Kucha people in the Western Regions are famous all over the world, so they came over to walk around. Just as they were about to leave, they ran into Guo Jijiu at the door. "

"Don't worry, Master. I'm not a talkative person."

Guo Jia was accompanied by a few trusted guards.

He was not completely unprepared for Xu You's strange appearance.

Xu You soon discovered that there was no chance for him to take action at all.

time flies.

However, two beautiful girls came in from outside and each of them toasted Guo Jia with a glass of wine.

The wine and drinks were also checked by Guo Jia's entourage and found to be normal.

These backbone members of Cao Wei are all extremely smart, and there are no loopholes in the security because it was designed by Jia Xu.

Xu You was extremely anxious and took the initiative to leave the table and go forward to toast Guo Jia.

He said that he had a nephew who was studying military affairs and wanted to join the army. Now that he had met Guo Jia, he asked Guo Jia for his help.

That's a good excuse.

Just as Xu You approached to toast, there was a strange noise from the window and a figure flashed by.

Several of Guo Jia's entourage immediately became alert, and two of them jumped over to check.

Guo Jia also looked in that direction.

Xu You thought that God was helping him, so he flicked a pinch of powder with his fingernails and put it into Guo Jia's cup, where it dissolved immediately.

Xu You was unaware that Guo Jia was suspicious of his actions, so he deliberately revealed a flaw, and had already noticed his movements from the corner of his eyes.

Guo Jia pretended to drink the wine, but actually covered his face with his sleeves, and the wine poured into his sleeves. He then dropped his hands under the low mat, leaving no flaws.

Xu You thought Guo Jia had drunk poisoned wine and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This was a silent contest.

Guo Jia didn't know that he had already been tricked.

But it was not Xu You who gave the drug, but Jia Wenhe who followed Cao Cao's orders and acted unintentionally.

One of the two singing girls who came in to toast just now was a spy from Cao Wei, and was ordered by the big boss Jia Xu to do something.

Later, a figure flashed by. It was Jia Xu who wanted to frame Xu You.

When Guo Jia found out something was wrong later, he would think of Xu You.

Director Jia took great pains to give Guo Jia the medicine.

That night, everyone went home, and Guo Jia turned around and reported to Cao Cao that he had discovered something wrong with Xu You.

But he didn't mention anything about his visit to a brothel.

People from all parties felt that they had achieved their goals.

The next three to five days were peaceful and calm.

However, Guo Jia felt very bad since that night.

He discovered a shocking change: for the past four or five days, he had become pure and had no desires. He didn't want to drink or think about women.

He used to not be able to sleep well if he didn't drink or hold a beautiful woman in his arms.

These days, I haven't thought about that at all.

What was even more horrifying was that something was as silent as death. Not only was there no ripple in the mind, but it also seemed to have lost its actual function.

Guo Jia secretly observed carefully at home and confirmed that he seemed to be not doing well.

It's okay, it can be cured.

Guo Jia went to see Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, and the conclusions they came to made him really worried.

The two said that they had never seen his symptoms before. He was a man, but his pulse was like that of a woman.

The two of them jointly concluded that Guo Jia had a strange disease in which yin and yang were reversed.

After a period of time, it may shrink*.

Guo Jia was horrified: "Is there any way to treat it?"

Hua Tuo was afraid that scaring the patient too much would have a counterproductive effect, so he said he wanted to observe the situation.

But it may be difficult to cure in a short period of time, so let Guo Jia be prepared.

After leaving Hua Tuo, Guo Jia returned home in a daze. He asked Cao Cao for two days off and did not dare to go out. He stayed at home day and night to observe whether his symptoms had changed.

Mid-February.

Xu You went out again and came to a county next to Yecheng and passed on the relevant news.

The other party probably wanted to use Xu You for a long time, so he gave him the antidote.

Over the past half month, the unbearable numbness and itching symptoms have completely disappeared after taking the medicine.

When the other party got the news from Xu You and learned that Guo Jia had taken the medicine, they were overjoyed.

A few days later, this man who was suspected to be a Xianbei spy ventured into Yecheng, dropped off a visiting card, and asked if Guo Jia was feeling unwell.

He was able to cure it and successfully met with Guo Jia.

In fact, the Guo Jia he met was the same as Goguryeo's current king, Go Yeon-woo. They were both ace spies of Cao Wei who had been selected over the past few years and temporarily transformed into Guo Jia's appearance with the help of Buddhist magical powers.

The spy, pretending to be Guo Jia, actually took the medicine that the other party wanted to give him.

Its symptoms, manifestations, and every aspect are flawless.

Guo Jia was then threatened with poison to control his life, but in fact he was following Cao Cao's orders and gave a map of Cao's army's defense at the North Gate.

After the spy succeeded, he immediately retreated.

After completing her mission, she will send this crucial information back to Xianbei as quickly as possible.

Cao Wei had completed its plan and sent fatal false information to the Xianbei, so it was time to close the net.

"We will first clean up all the problematic people we have spotted recently. This is in line with our eagerness to recover the losses as soon as we discover the problems."

Cao Cao: "Including Xu You, there is no need to keep them any longer."
