Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 18 Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases

After hearing what Lu Bu said, Zhang Zhongjing couldn't help but sigh.

It doesn’t really matter whether he is a miracle doctor or not.

If he could save one more person, how could he just watch someone else die in front of him?

Seeing that Zhang Zhongjing was silent, Lu Bu took the opportunity to say:

"Doctor Zhang, one person's power is limited.

"But if you can pass on your medical skills to more doctors, wouldn't you be able to save more people?"

Zhang Zhongjing's eyes suddenly lit up!
My originally gloomy heart seemed to have a window opened, and bright sunshine shone in.

He looked at Lu Bu with a new appreciation for him.

Recently, he had also heard about the other party's righteous act of killing Dong Zhuo and supporting the country.

But I didn’t expect that such a brave man could have such insight!

Zhang Zhongjing nodded:
"What the general said is absolutely true."

Lu Bu's eyes flashed with hope, and he extended an invitation:
"In this case, I wonder if Doctor Zhang is willing to go with me to Lujiang?

"I am willing to fully support you, using our army as a base to popularize medical knowledge and develop medical technology around us and even the world!"

Looking at Lv Bu's eager eyes, Zhang Zhongjing was silent for two seconds, then shook his head:

“It is my honor to be appreciated by the general.

“But there are many patients in Nieyang County, and I need to stay here to take care of them in order to completely eradicate the disease.

"Otherwise, I won't be able to leave in peace."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Lu Bu's eyes, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope and asked:
“I wonder how long it will take to eradicate the disease?”

"At least one month, at most one year." Zhang Zhongjing answered helplessly.

"So long..."

Lu Bu unconsciously recalled an epidemic he had experienced in his previous life, and suddenly understood the other party's helplessness.

He sighed regretfully:

"Not being able to get a miracle doctor is my misfortune, but it is also a great blessing for the people of the world..."

Lu Bu could only bow and say goodbye:

“Although we cannot invite Doctor Zhang now, if there is a chance in the future, I hope that Doctor Zhang can come to Lujiang to have a look.

"In addition, I have specially sent 500 dan of grain, hoping to help the people in the city solve their urgent needs."

As he spoke, Lu Bu pointed to the hundreds of bags of corn piled up in the corner.

Seeing the food, Zhang Zhongjing was overjoyed and bowed to Lü Bu to express his gratitude:

"General, you are so righteous. Zhongjing thanks you on behalf of the people of Nieyang County!

"I will definitely go to Lujiang to express my gratitude if I have the chance someday!"

Zhang Zhongjing suddenly thought of something, took out five bamboo scrolls from his bag, and handed them to Lu Bu:

"This is the information about the epidemic that I compiled on a daily basis. I named it "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases".

“Although it is not a classic book, it may be of some help to the general.

"If the general can spread the content of this article so that people all over the world have basic knowledge of epidemic prevention, it will surely save more people!"

Looking at the small pile of bamboo slips in front of him, Lu Bu's disappointed face was instantly filled with surprise!

It’s actually “Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases”?
And it’s her native place!

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhongjing had already written it and even gave it to him directly!

As a modern man, Lu Bu felt embarrassed to accept such a gift.

But he did not want to return empty-handed after having contributed both effort and food, so he solemnly took the bamboo slips:

"Thank you for the gift, miraculous doctor! I will live up to your expectations and carry forward this medical knowledge!"

Zhang Zhongjing smiled happily:
"General, you don't need to thank me. It's inconvenient to stay in the city for long, so please leave as soon as possible."

Lu Bu looked at the other person reluctantly.

When it comes to his desire for talent, he is no less eager than Cao, a married woman.

At this time, Lu Bu suddenly thought of something and reminded seriously: "If conditions permit, Doctor Zhang can use a small amount of realgar wine to sprinkle in the patient's home for disinfection.

“Also, ask people to wash their hands with hot water before eating.

“If there are people who can sew scent bags, they can be asked to sew scent bags, fill them with moxa leaves, and let those who are not sick wear them close to their bodies.

"If we persist in this way for a period of time, we should be able to better eliminate the epidemic."

After listening to Lu Bu's suggestions, Zhang Zhongjing was surprised:
"What the general said about washing hands with hot water and using sachets to avoid illness is also mentioned in my Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases.

"The general could have thought of this? Could it be that the general also knows medical skills?"

Lu Bu smiled and nodded:

"I know a little bit."

Zhang Zhongjing nodded suddenly:

"As for the realgar wine disinfection... General, are you sure that realgar wine can suppress the epidemic?"

Lu Bu said solemnly:
"I'm sure. But the concentration of realgar wine can't be too low, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced."

After all, the theory that realgar wine can kill bacteria and disinfect was first recorded in Wu Kun's "Medical Prescriptions" in the Ming Dynasty.

It was normal that Zhang Zhongjing didn't know this at this time.

Zhang Zhongjing gained more knowledge and became more respectful to the man in front of him:

“Although the cost is a little high, you can give it a try!
“I didn’t expect that the general is not only a warrior, but also has great insights into medical skills.

"Once this matter is settled, Zhongjing will definitely come to visit and discuss medical skills with the general!"

Lu Bu was overjoyed to receive such a promise:
"Then I will look forward to that day!"

After exchanging a few final greetings with Zhang Zhongjing, Lu Bu led his group to leave Nieyang County and head straight for Jiyang County.

It was not until late in the evening that the group finally caught up with the large army that had already set up camp halfway.

Lu Bu did not enter the camp immediately, but called Gao Shun to bring a cart of wine.

He Chenglian, Wei Xu and more than one hundred soldiers smeared the lotion all over their bodies.

Take off all the clothes, soak them in alcohol and water, and disinfect them with boiling water.

After making all preparations, we entered the independent tent to rest in isolation.

After all, they have been in the epidemic area for a long time, and they must eliminate the source to prevent the disease from being brought into the army.

Fortunately, the viruses of this period were relatively primitive and not as scary as modern viruses.

The level of prevention and control he can achieve is already quite sufficient.

The next morning, Lu Bu ordered someone to give the "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" to Cai Wenji.

Let her work with other clerks to copy this unique medical book to prevent the unique copy from being lost.

It was not until noon that the group arrived in Jiyang County.

The county magistrate invited everyone to go into the county town to rest, but Lu Bu refused.

I just came out of the epidemic area yesterday, so it’s better to be cautious.

Lu Bu asked the army to take a rest outside the city, while he took Hao Meng, Diao Chan and dozens of soldiers into the city to buy food.

It is still two-thirds of the way to Lujiang.

Five hundred dan of grain were delivered to Zhang Zhongjing yesterday. There is not much grain left in the military camp.

These days, Hao Meng and Diao Chan have had a lot of in-depth communications.

The more they communicated, the more Hao Meng could appreciate the wonderful taste of the most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms.

His loyalty to Lu Bu also grew.

Lu Bu was looking forward to revenge from Diao Chan, but unfortunately, the imagined revenge never happened.

These days, Diao Chan's look at him was not as resentful as it was at the beginning.

Maybe she has gradually accepted her fate.

Without giving it much thought, Lu Bu bought some food and led everyone back to the barracks.

But halfway through, a little boy of five or six years old suddenly jumped out from the alley and bumped directly into Diao Chan!
