Chapter 17: Miraculous Doctor Zhang Zhongjing

"Epidemic?!"

Lu Bu's face changed drastically.

There has been no war recently in Nieyang County or even near Wancheng, so how come there is a plague?

The Three Kingdoms period was truly horrible. Countless heroes and great men in history died of plague.

Chen Lin, Lu Meng, and even pure military generals such as Jiang Qin and Xiahou Dun were unfortunately caught in the trap.

However, Lu Bu knew that the main source of the plague was the large number of unprocessed corpses.

Also, the sanitary conditions during this period were very poor.

Many ordinary people are not well fed and clothed, and their physical fitness is extremely poor.

This can easily lead to the occurrence of various diseases.

So along the way, Lu Bu asked his soldiers to boil water as much as possible for drinking.

If someone has a cough or a cold, he will be isolated.

His army encountered no problems along the way.

But now, seeing the plague appear not far away, he was still a little panicked.

Just when he was about to order the army to bypass Nieyang County immediately, Qiao Rui suddenly provided an important piece of information:
“Don’t be too nervous, Lord Wen. A doctor named Zhang Zhongjing is treating the epidemic in the county.

"Under his control, the epidemic in the county was basically under control."

When he heard the three words "Zhang Zhongjing", Lu Bu stopped where he was.

Miraculous doctor Zhang Zhongjing? !

The author of "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases"?
Is he in Nieyang County now?
After a brief pause, Lu Bu suddenly gave an order to Cheng Lian and Wei Xu standing by:
"You two must take 500 dan of grain from the army and follow me to deliver it to Nieyang County!"

The news of the epidemic made Lu Bu realize how important an excellent doctor is to a force.

There were only three great doctors in the Three Kingdoms period: Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing and Dong Feng.

Dong Feng is not born yet, so in 192 AD, there are only two miracle doctors alive!
Compared with the great doctor Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing is not as famous.

But he was an expert in epidemics, and his book "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" had a profound impact on later generations!
If we could invite this miracle doctor to join the army, the medical care of the army would be greatly guaranteed.

For the military, the most feared thing is a large-scale disease like plague!
If there is a plague expert, it will definitely play a significant role in the prevention and control of the plague.

Seeing that Lü Bu was planning to enter in person regardless of the risk, Gao Shun immediately stopped him and said:
"Marquis Wen wants to invite a miracle doctor, and your father can go for you.

"If you accidentally get infected with the disease, it will be troublesome!"

Looking at Gao Shun's serious expression, Lu Bu suddenly thought of something and immediately ordered someone to find some thick cloth towels.

After folding, it can be tied on the face to form a simple protection like a mask.

He asked everyone else who entered the city with him to wear a cloth scarf, and then patted Gao Shun on the shoulder:

"You lead your men to bypass Nieyang County and head to Jiyang first. I will go there after I finish dealing with things here.

"Don't worry, people with strong bodies are not easily infected with the disease.

"And Zhang Zhongjing is a rare miracle doctor. If I want to invite him out of retirement, I have to go there in person to show my sincerity."

Seeing that his master insisted on doing so, Gao Shun could only sigh and leave with the others.

Qiao Rui and the people who had just followed him into the county town were isolated at the end of the team.

There is no guarantee that they do not carry seeds of the disease.

Qiao Rui also understood this truth and did not feel dissatisfied about it.

Looking at the army going away, Lu Bu slowly took Cheng Lian, Wei Xu and a hundred soldiers with him.

They entered Nieyang County with more than a dozen grain-carrying carriages.

As soon as he entered the city, Lu Bu saw many skinny and pale people leaning against their doorsteps with dull eyes.

There were also adult corpses lying on the roadside, with skinny children crying beside the corpses. Such a scene would make modern people feel very uncomfortable.

Only by experiencing this scene in person can you understand how luxurious it is for these people to have enough food.

No wonder the old people in his previous life would rather eat until they were full than waste food.

Because they have been through similar times before.

For them, the pain of hunger is much more intense than the pain of being full!

Soon, Lu Bu saw a strong man in his forties directing the officers and soldiers in the county to bury the bodies and isolate the patients.

Lu Bu thought that this was some officer or general in the city, but suddenly he heard someone calling the other person "Doctor Zhang"!
Lu Bu immediately realized that this strong middle-aged man was the person he was looking for.

Lu Bu dismounted and came in front of the other party, bowing and saluting:
"Excuse me, are you Doctor Zhang Zhongjing?"

Zhang Zhongjing turned around and looked at the man with a cloth on his face. At first glance, he thought he was a bandit.

But soon he thought of something and a look of surprise appeared on his face!
He ignored Lu Bu and ordered people to immediately make a scarf similar to the one on Lu Bu's face.

Let all patients in the county and those who are busy outside wear them as much as possible.

Seeing that he couldn't communicate for the time being, Lu Bu immediately ordered his men to help.

With the joining of more than one hundred people, the pressure on the officers and soldiers who were originally stretched to the limit was suddenly reduced!

After being busy for a long time, Zhang Zhongjing finally noticed Lu Bu and others who came to provide assistance.

Taking advantage of his free time, Zhang Zhongjing took the initiative to come to Lv Bu and bowed to him to thank him:
“Thank you all for your help.

"Just now I heard the warrior call out my name. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Zhang Zhongjing, whose name was Ji and whose courtesy name was Zhongjing.

However, compared to his name, his courtesy name is more famous.

Lu Bu wiped the sweat from his forehead and saluted tirelessly:
"I am Lu Bu, the governor of Lujiang. I passed by here on my way to take office. I heard that there was an outbreak of plague here, so I came to help.

"I never thought that you, Doctor Zhang, were here. I came to visit you specially!"

"Miracle doctor?"

Hearing this title, Zhang Zhongjing burst into laughter:

“Where is there any miracle doctor in this world?
"If there really is a miracle doctor, how could he watch a patient die in front of him and do nothing?"

Seeing Zhang Zhongjing falling into self-doubt, Lu Bu hurriedly said:

“Dr. Zhang, you shouldn’t look at how many people you didn’t save, but how many people you saved.

“Life and death are predetermined, but because of your arrival, fate can be changed.

“It has helped many people who would not have survived to survive.

“In my opinion, you don’t have to save everyone to be called a miracle doctor.

"If you can save many people with your superb medical skills, you are worthy of being called a god!"

Ps:

Thanks to all the godfathers for their great help, after four consecutive books failed, this book finally passed the PK1 of QQ Reading.

This means that the book can continue to be written.

Although I don’t know how the daily sales will be after it is put on the shelves, it is still a big improvement compared to before.

As long as I can meet the basic requirements of full attendance and income, I can continue writing well.

Thank you all godfathers for your support, the young author bows in gratitude (quietly puts down the Fang Tian Hua Ji that was about to stab the godfather)!
OTZ!
