My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 140 Hua Tuo Returns
The first good news was that Hua Tuo returned from Pei State.

Lu Yi immediately fulfilled his promise on the spot, gave Hua Tuo a preferential status, opened the limited medical clinic built in Luwu to him, appointed Hua Tuo as the director, and let him handle all matters in the clinic, no matter how big or small, as he pleased.

Moreover, Hua Tuo was given one million coins of funding every year to spend as he pleased, and Lu Yi would never stop him.

One million is less than half of what Lu Yi earns from doing business.

It is such a great deal to be able to purchase the right to use the great god Hua Tuo for one year.

Lu Yi's only request was that Hua Tuo could carry forward his surgical and pharmacological methods in Jiuyuan.

Lu Yi didn't care whether he found disciples or how many disciples he had, nor did she want to care.

You just need to teach the students recommended by Lu Yi.

In the late Han Dynasty, the death rate on the battlefield was so high.

Just increasing the cure rate by 10 percent would mean saving countless wounded soldiers from the brink of death.

These wounded soldiers are veterans who have received rigorous training, fought on battlefields and seen blood.

As long as one person is rescued, an elite soldier can be added immediately.

What's even better is that while our own healing rate has been greatly improved, the enemy's casualty rate remains at a terrible level.

As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, it eventually leads to an all-out war.

It's not just the small difference of saving a single soldier.

Rather, it is a revolutionary change that alters the entire strategy.

After all, a soldier is selected, recruited, enlisted, trained, fights in battles, survives the war and becomes an elite soldier.

Each of these steps will consume considerable resources from the force.

Moreover, no matter at which stage, as long as the soldiers are disabled, it is a waste of effort. All the resources spent before are equivalent to being wasted. Not only that, there is also an extra mouth to feed who has lost his labor and combat effectiveness, or after they are killed or injured, the families of the soldiers have to be compensated, the elderly and the young have to be taken care of, and orphans have to be raised.

Therefore, among a hundred soldiers, there may not be one veteran soldier who has fought in hundreds of battles.

Therefore, what Lu Yi said before, that with Hua Tuo's help, it is better than 100,000 soldiers, is not false!

And as Lu Yi's strength grows, and the scale and level of the battles grow, Hua Tuo's role will become even greater!
Moreover, Hua Tuo was just one of Lu Yi's plans.

Having obtained Long, one is greedy for more.

In the future, he also plans to invite the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing to join his team.

After all, fighting in this era.

Especially cross-regional and ultra-long-distance battles.

In addition to combat casualties caused by cold weapons, non-combat casualties are even more serious.

Whether it is southern troops entering the north or northern troops entering the south

Countless classics and historical books have recorded that due to unfamiliar climate and water, there was a major epidemic in the army, with seven to eight out of ten soldiers dying.

Cao Cao suffered a great loss during the Battle of Red Cliffs. His soldiers were all from the north and could not adapt to the humidity and heat in the south. An epidemic broke out in the army, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

When Zhuge Liang went to the south, he also suffered greatly in the miasma-filled Yunnan. He was unable to penetrate deep into the south to wipe out Meng Huo and other southern barbarians who were accustomed to the environment and climate. Therefore, he could only use the strategy of psychological warfare to capture and release seven people.

In the late Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan also sent a general to lead a fleet of more than 10,000 people to develop Yizhou, which is now Taiwan Island. If the soldiers had not been unable to adapt to the local miasma and environment, all of them would have been killed or wounded. Later, when the Jin army advanced eastward along the river, even if his descendants could not defeat the Jin State, they would not have become slaves of a conquered country. By crossing the ocean and living in Taiwan, they could at least preserve the destiny of the Eastern Wu state and wait for changes in the world.

The Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing was the most experienced, most capable, and most effective doctor in treating diseases such as plague and miasma in the Eastern Han Dynasty and even in ancient China! However, there was no rush to invite Zhang Zhongjing. Lu Yi would focus on Hebei, Central Plains and other places in the next ten years or so, so he could hold off for a while.

Hua Tuo accepted all the courtesies shown to him by Lu Yi and was very grateful for Lu Yi's arrangements.

However, when Lu Yi secretly brought a whole cart of processed corpses to the clinic and placed them in front of Hua Tuo, he immediately felt like he had found a treasure.

I couldn't help but start researching immediately.

To him, these horrific, purple and pale corpses were like peerless beauties, lying there quietly waiting for Hua Tuo to undress them and learn the most mysterious secrets within them.

If Lu Yi didn't need him to immediately treat the people injured in the battle, Hua Tuo would probably have locked himself in the clinic and would not come out without chatting with these quiet friends.

Not long after Lu Yi arranged for Hua Tuo to treat the wounded.

The second good news came later.

It turned out that it was Jiuyuan County Magistrate Wang Li who sent someone to deliver the message.

Wang Zhi, the prefect of Wuyuan County, finally remembered Lu Yi and prepared to meet him.

Let him arrange some suitable gifts and rush to Jiuyuan County. Wang Li will personally lead Lu Yi to Wuyuan County to meet Wang Zhi.

"Are you finally free to see me?"

"Humph! The eunuchs in power are so powerful that they even use their own brothers to bully others. I have to wait two months to see them!"

Lu Yi snorted in his heart and began to hesitate.

He couldn't remember the exact day when Wang Fu fell. He only knew that he was brought down by Yang Qiu when he was resting at home.

It's already early October, and Lu Yi doesn't have much time left.

If he really wanted to surrender to Wang Fu, he would not only have to climb aboard his pirate ship as quickly as possible, but also immediately report Yang Qiu's actions to him so that he could launch a Jedi counterattack.

If he happened to board Wang Fu's pirate ship after Wang Fu fell from power, he would be implicated and wanted, and might have to flee to the border for his life, so he had no choice but to be cautious.

"Although it's a little late now, we still can't give up this opportunity. We can only take it one step at a time!"

After making the decision, Lu Yi did not bother to visit the newly built mansion. After settling Lu Wu down, he immediately ordered Gao Shun to lead dozens of his most capable men and bring millions of dollars to Jiuyuan County.

These several million coins were all the cash that Lu Yi could currently use. Although it was not a lot, the traveling merchants and the horses seized in September had already been bought by Zhen's resident manager in Mayi.

Among them, Lu Yi accounted for the largest share. Excluding the cost, this order could make Lu Yi a profit of nearly 20 million.

Now that Luwu has complete soldiers and sufficient food and grass, there is no need to spend money elsewhere for the time being. Therefore, even if these several million are not enough, Lu Yi is prepared to invest all 20 million.

More than 20 million is enough for Lu Yi to be the prefect of any other county in the country except Wuyuan County, and it is more than enough to buy a filial and honest official.

The selection of Xiaolian is related to a series of actions that Lu Yi will take afterwards, so Lu Yi is determined to win it.

However, just when Lu Yi was full of confidence and prepared to take a further step to obtain the qualification of filial and honest official, the atmosphere in the Su Mansion in Zhongshan was almost depressing to the extreme.
