Xuchang, Sikong Mansion.

In August, just after midsummer, the leaves on the trees were already turning yellow.

Cao Cao leaned over and picked up a fallen leaf falling into the windowsill, and smiled at Guo Jia, "In a few days, it will be a great scene of high autumn and fat horses running on iron hooves. I am filial piety, you and I are sitting in the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, and are worried about loneliness. If the Gaopiao child comes to pick it up, wouldn't it be even more lively and interesting?"

Cao Cao was short and not mighty when standing in front of the window, but as soon as he said this, Guo Jia felt a unique ambition. Whether it was a hero, a hero, a victory or a defeat, no matter whether it was famous or infamous, Cao Cao seemed to have never lost his confidence when facing all the obstacles in front of him.

"This is the lord who makes me Guo Jia willing to serve you!" Guo Jia stared at Cao Cao's not tall figure, and his mind was full of thoughts.

Cao Cao slowly turned around, picked up a soap bag on the desk, and said, "Last month, Liu Bei, the governor of Yuzhou, sent an envoy to ask for help, saying that Lu Bu was connected with Yuan Shu again, and Lu Bu has always been brave. If he was allowed to dominate Xu Si, Yanzhou might be worried. Now I personally lead a large army to attack Bu. What do you think?"

Guo Jia pondered for a while and asked, "Wenruo, how do Gongda say it?"

"Gongda said: Lu Bu is brave and fierce, and has ambition. Now he is with Yuan Shu. If he is in the Huai River and Si River, then the heroes of the world will inevitably rise up and submit. Our army can take advantage of the times when the people are not attached to him, and he will defeat him." Cao Cao said.

Guo Jia said: "Why don't Ming Gong wait for half a month to send troops?"

Cao Cao was surprised and said, "Why? Lv Bu currently has the help of Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wu Dun and Yin Li, and the city of Xia Pi is deep and solid. If you wait for the plump feathers and Ji, it may not be easy to plan."

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Lu Bu, a greedy person. Ming Gong has a good bait available, so why bother?"

"Fengxiao means———Huainan." Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he bent down and stared at the map on the desk.

Guo Jia said: "Yes. Although Huainan was under Gao Chong, the remaining troops were only one, two or three thousand people in Huang Zhong, and his defense was weak, and he had an opportunity to take advantage of it. After Yuan Shu retreated to Huainan, he must have recovered. This time he conspired with Lu Bu, which must be for this. In Jia's opinion, Lu Bu sent troops to Xiaopei to clear obstacles to attack Huainan!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "If Lu Bu raises troops in Huainan, Xuzhou will definitely be empty. At that time, we will attack him without any effort."

Guo Jia also smiled and said, "Ming Gong said so much. Let's wait a moment. It will not be too late to send troops after watching a good show."

"Zijing, do you think Cao Cao would believe Kong Rong's words?" While Cao Cao and Guo Jia were asking questions and answering questions, Gao Chong was also discussing with the important counselor Lu Su, Moling City, far away on the Yangtze River.

Lu Su shook his head and said, "Kong Rong is arrogant and talented. When he returns, he will be arrogant. I may not be able to hide it from Cao Cao."

Gao Chong nodded and said, "What Zijing said is that Kong Rong is just a madman, how can he be Cao Cao's opponent? What I am concerned about is the court's attitude towards the war in Jiangdong."

Lu Su said: "If you favor the commander, with Su's opinion, you will now attack Wujun. If Kuaiji, you will not talk about whether you can win the military battle. Just because the sergeant and officials in the court were often criticized by Sun Ce, they will definitely pursue the crime of favoring the commander against the order, so it is not advisable."

Lu Su's analysis was very reasonable. Gao Chong's repeated measures and decided not to launch an offensive against Sun Ce for the time being. However, with Sun Ce's ability, if he could recover his confidence in the future, he would probably be another fierce battle.

"People's handsome man, Bo Yan's urgent letter." While he was speaking, Xu Shu held a soap bag in his hand and shouted while walking.

"Is there anything wrong with Shentingling?" Gao Chong asked while taking the soap book.

Xu Shu replied with a smile: "No. It's good news. According to Bo Yan, there are some people in the enemy's formation who are willing to be an insider."

When Gao Chong heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Oh, there is such a thing. I wonder who is willing to betray Sun Ce?"

Gao Chong asked, while opening the soap sack and spreading it to watch. His face was first and then his eyes were eye-catching. When he saw it at the end, Fang Zizi said with some realization: "So it was him."

Lu Su took Lu Xun's soap letter and found that there was another silk book attached to Lu Xun's letter, which read "Xu Gongjing, the prefect of Wu County," on it.

"Xu Gong, is Xu Gong who expelled Gao Kongwen?" Lu Su said in surprise.

Gao Chong said in a deep voice: "Yes. Zijing, our army wants to defeat Sun Ce, so we should be this person."

Gao Chong was very familiar with Xu Gong. When he was recuperating from Lu Xun's mansion, it was under Xu Gong's hard pressure that Gao Chong went to Zhuzhi Camp alone to rebel against the enemy in order to rescue the trapped four-ranked soldiers.

"The prefect of Wu County - Xu Gong, it seems that Xu Gong has been doing well over the years!" Gao Chong couldn't help but think in his heart. Xu Gong is a complete villain, who is obsessed with his righteousness and is capricious, but such a person will also have the value of exploitation. Sun Ce can see this, and Gao Chong can also see it.

Xu Gong's letters came well, and it rekindled Gao Chong's confidence in competing for Wujun and Kuaiji.

After Yan Baihu was destroyed, Xu Gong changed his mind and led his family to surrender to Sun Ce. Sun Ce, who urgently needed to stabilize the rear, did not pursue Xu Gong, but instead used it, allowing him to replace Zhu Zhi as the prefect of Wujun.

Logically speaking, Xu Gong should be grateful to Sun Ce.

But that's not the case.

Under Sun Ce's close monitoring, Xu Gong's prefect was very uneasy. Xu Gong, who originally owned a large area of ​​fertile land and houses, now has no power except for a few people in his family.

The birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead, and the lackeys are cooked.

After Yan Baihu's remaining party was defeated in Haixi, the shadow in Xu Gong's heart became bigger and bigger. With his intuition and Sun Ce's attitude towards him, Xu Gong knew that Sun Ce's day to eradicate him was getting closer and closer. Just when Xu Gong was in panic all day long, the news that Gao Chong defeated Sun Ce came, which made Xu Gong, who was eager to find a backer, illuminated his eyes.

"Pampered by Xu Gong, two-faced and three-sword, is a guy who will be a mother whenever he has breasts. Such a person——!" Xu Shu advised.

"Yuanzhi, villains also have their uses. Some things can only be done by villains, such as Zulang!" Gao Chong smiled slightly. He knew that Xu Shu, who was eager to be righteous, had never had a good impression of villains like Xu Gong. To convince him, using Zulang's example in front of him was the best way.

Xu Shu remained silent. Zulang's rebellion against Gao Chong's army was so severe that Xu Shu, as a military advisor, knew it very well.

"Zi Jing, Yuan Zhi, let Mei Qian contact us for contacting Xu Gong. This time, if what Xu Gong said in his letter can be realized, there will be hope for defeating Sun Ce!" Gao Chong was excited and said.

"Assued the commander of the Praise Commander!" Lu Su and Xu Shu responded at the same time.

Xu Shu turned around and was about to leave. He looked back halfway and said, "By the way, when I entered the door just now, I saw Hua Tuo, who was known as a miracle doctor, standing at the door. After I asked, he said he had something important to report to the coach!"

Gao Chong was shocked and said, "What happened to Ziyi?" These days, he has been busy relocating the hospital and has less concern about Taishici's condition. Hua Tuo asked for a meeting. Could it be that Taishici's condition has recurred again?

"It doesn't look like Hua Tuo's expression!" Xu Shu said.

"No matter what, someone comes, invite Hua Tuo to the front hall and say I'll go right away." Gao Chong ordered.

A personal guard next to Gao Chong hesitated for a moment and stammered: "Mrs. I'm sending a message in the backyard. Please go back after finishing your business!"

The wife Su Wei mentioned was not Musa, but Da Qiao who pretended to be "Xiahou Yun". Since Gao Chong met Da Qiao again in Yuzhang Mansion that day, Da Qiao was charming and delicate and friendly, and once again broke into Gao Chong's heart. She was gentle and virtuous and did not compete for any status and identity with Musa. Every time she saw Musa, she would respectfully shout "sister".

Compared with Musa's fire-strength character, this meekness is one in heaven and the other in earth.

Different women always have different touching features.

Da Qiao's temperament is not only moved by Gao Chong, but even Musha is "sister, sister" and screaming, as if Da Qiao is her own girl. This time, this time he moved to the capital, Musha took the initiative to ask Da Qiao to follow him.

Since ancient times, heroes love beauty, and beauties love heroes even more!

Although he became the governor of a state at a young age, the young Gao Chong, like many people of his age, had the desire to have and appreciate beautiful women. By chance, Da Qiao became Gao Chong's wife. Gao Chong felt an indescribable excitement about such a result.

"You go and tell your wife first, and I know." Gao Chong replied as he stepped out of the study door.

The Yangzhou Governor's Office is used to meet officials from all over the country who come to report the situation.

Hua Tuo was restlessly drinking the tea that had just been brewed on the desk table, and his eyes kept looking at the decorations in the front hall. In Hua Tuo's eyes, Gao Chong, the furnishings of the Yangzhou governor's mansion were really shabby. Many furniture and desk tables were old, and many places had faded colors, even revealing one or two mottled colors.

"Is this the governor's residence?" In an instant, Hua Tuo almost thought he had walked into the wrong door.

"The world is in conflict, and the people are displaced and have nothing to do. Now that Chong has this house to rest, it is enough. How can you dare to hope for anything else!" On the same day, when he was relocating to the "New Mansion", Gao Chong said to Lu Su, Xu Shu and others.

Gao Chong's sentence is really an exaggeration. If it is explained according to the meaning of the words, as long as there are people without a place to live, Gao Chong will live in an old house for the rest of his life. This is obviously impossible.

Farewell to the old and welcome the new is a common sense for people to do so.

But Gao Chong knew that he could not do that now.

The current mansion is the old house of Sun Jing, but it has been slightly renovated on the original basis. Originally, Gu Yong, Xu Shu, and Lu Su were planning to rebuild a new house to show Gao Chong's "different and past" demeanor, but Gao Chong insisted on stopping it. After experiencing a arduous battle, Gao Chong knew that the little financial resources he had accumulated had been squandered. If he built a large-scale project for his own selfishness, the people would definitely complain.

This is not what Gao Feng, who is determined to be the world, expected.

Just when Hua Tuo was surprised, he could only hear footsteps, and a man said loudly: "But Mr. Hua?"

Hua Tuo turned around and saw a young man with a dark complexion in his usual Geburu robe looking up and down. Although Hua Tuo had heard that Gao Chong was a young man in his early twenties many times, he did not expect Gao Chong to be so young.

I was stunned and said, "That's right."

Gao Chong, the name of Hua Tuo, was heard by Lu Ti. A few days ago, during the battle with Sun Ce, Chen Deng mentioned that Liu Ye accompanied Hua Tuo to Liyang to treat Taishi Ci, so he never met.

Gao Chong looked at the person in front of him carefully. Hua Tuo did not disappoint his name as a "miracle doctor". He was strong and tall. When he stood in front of him, he was very imposing. Ordinary people stood side by side with him and lowered his head straight. However, Hua Tuo's pair of rolled fish-pig eyes made Gao Chong feel uncomfortable.

How could such a good figure have such worldly eyes?

However, no matter how disgusted you, Gao Chong did not neglect in terms of etiquette. He signaled his follower to make tea for Hua Tuo, and asked, "Sir, this time, is because of Ziyi's condition. If there is any problem with money or herbs, it is okay, and Chong will do his best to do it!"

Seeing Gao Chong's words so polite, Hua Tuo was a little flattered and hurriedly said, "Thank you, filial and honest Hua Tuo learned from Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling that the coach of Chong Zheng had moved to the capital, so he would like to congratulate him."

"Oh——, as sir, I wonder when Ziyi will recover?" When talking to Hua Tuo, Taishici's injury was always the focus of Gao Chong's concern.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Hua Tuo's eyes and said vaguely: "General Taishi's injury has almost healed, and his life should be fine. However, if the internal organs are completely cured, it still needs to be carefully recuperated. Tuo cannot judge when it will be better."

Hearing Hua Tuo's ambiguous answer, Gao Chong's long-awaited heart was knocked to the ground again. Apart from Taishi Ci, he really didn't know why Hua Tuo came to him.

"Yesterday Tuo heard Yuan Long say that there was still a vacant position in the Yangzhou governor Cao's throne. Tuo was not talented and intended to recommend himself." Hua Tuo said the purpose of this.

"Does sir intend to abandon medical treatment as an official?" Gao Chong said in surprise. Hua Tuo's medical skills can be said to be outstanding. He is known as the "miracle doctor" of the world together with Zhang Ji. Hua Tuo, who is already very famous in the medical field, now wants to give up the industry of becoming famous, which really puzzles Gao Chong.

Hua Tuo replied: "Tuo was originally a scholar. Now he uses medical treatment to see his career and always regrets himself. If he is supported by a favored commander, he will not blame him for being grateful."

He was a scholar who did not know how to write, so he observed that his father was separated from his father. He was as innocent as mud, and the high-ranking general was as timid as a chicken. Hua Tuo's filial and honest identity was obtained by Chen Deng after he took over as the prefect of Guangling. Before that, Hua Tuo had gone to Luoyang to take the exam for Xiaolian, but because of his low background and no money to clear up, he was nearly 40 years old and even one in Bai Ding.

Gao Chong said: "I wonder what sir is good at?"

When Hua Tuo heard Gao Chong's tone loose, he stepped forward, took out a thin silk book from his arms, and whispered: "When Tuo was young, he traveled to Xu Tu, and was familiar with several classics. He knew some skills of cultivating his nature and the way of yu girls. Now he wrote a book, saying: Dongxuan Jing. I came to offer it to Chongshang."

Gao Chong was surprised to see Hua Tuo's words mysteriously. When he took the silk book in Hua Tuo's hand and opened a few pages, he saw that it was full of naked men and women, either with two strands or tumbling up and down. Hua Tuo even made notes on the side: One style is called tiger fighting, one style is called dragon turning, one style is called cicada bending, and one style is called rabbit tying. There are many kinds of color seduction, and all the things about men and women were written on the book, which made Gao Chong blush and red.

Seeing this, Hua Tuo approached a step closer: "In addition to this book, Tuo has recently studied the mystery of pharmacology and has also refined several pills to revive his might. If you need it, you just need to give me an order and Tuo will hold it in full!"

Gao Chong took a deep breath and pressed the impulse in his heart. No matter what, he could not have imagined that Hua Tuo, who was respected as the "miracle doctor", would be a master of studying arts in the room. The postures in the Cave Xuan Jing were similar to those in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic and Huainanzi, but the difference was that Hua Tuo added his own small notes next to each style. These small notes were the key points to prolong the time.

"Sir, go back first. Regarding the matter of discussing whether there is any vacancy in Cao, I was so busy with the relocation work a few days ago that I had no time to take care of each other. I will ask Mr. Gu tomorrow and I will give you a message in three days." Gao Chong put away the silk book and said.

When Hua Tuo saw Gao Chong put away the silk book, a hint of joy appeared on his face, he bowed and said, "Thank you so much, thank you. Tuo said you back. If you have anything to invite him, Tuo will be on call."

Looking at Hua Tuo's eyes that were turbid because of joy, Gao Chong felt a burst of contempt in his heart. In Gao Chong's mind, a person with clear medical skills was like Zhang Ji, with a fairy-like and a traitor, floating outside the world, not asking about worldly affairs, and not seeking profit.

But although Hua Tuo in front of him still seemed to be the same from his appearance, after this conversation, Gao Chong realized that Hua Tuo had the name of a miracle doctor but had no virtue of a miracle doctor, and had an extreme desire for fame and fortune. He used the method of offering the art of room to seek official positions like him, which was the same as those slanderous ministers in the last dynasty.

Gao Chong was quite disgusted with Hua Tuo's character, but now Taishi Ci's injury is at a critical moment. If Hua Tuo let go, Taishi Ci would never be able to recover. From this perspective, comforting Hua Tuo will save Taishi Ci.

What's more, although Gao Chong only took a rough look at the "Dongxuan Sutra" presented by Hua Tuo, although the key points of Hua Tuo's small notes were only a few lines, they were quite incisive, which made Gao Chong, who had just had a taste of the matter between men and women, unable to curb his desire to read it.

Although Hua Tuo's threat of "two-pronged approach" was despicable, Gao Chong could not resist.
