Chapter 335 Mr. Yuanhua
Cui Jun and Guan Yu quickly ran over to support him.

"My lord, there is no need to do this. After such a great battle and being schemed against by a villain, it is already very rare for our army to win. This kind of loss is also... also a blessing in disguise..."

"Yes, brother, it is important that you take care of yourself."

Liu He's face was filled with sorrow, and he cried out in pain: "I, Liu He, am so sorry for them!"

"Don't blame yourself, big brother. This is all because of that traitorous villain who secretly colluded with the two major Hu tribes to fight against us and poisoned you. If not for that, how could this battle be so difficult?"

Guan Yu was furious when this matter was mentioned. He regarded loyalty and righteousness as the foundation of his life, and hated such traitors even more than he hated the Hu people.

Liu He sighed and said to Cui Jun: "The wounded soldiers must be compensated generously and generously. The parents of the martyrs who died for the country should not be left without support, and their wives and daughters should not have a hard time making ends meet."

"Don't worry, lord. There are a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and various treasures seized in this battle. Jun has notified Anhan Trading Company to send people to count and sell them in batches. It will be enough to provide relief to the soldiers. But lord, you have to take good care of your health. This is the most urgent matter."

"Yes, the supplies and war horses seized this time are so many that they are more than enough to rebuild the army. Big brother, you must recover soon and take charge of the overall situation."

The two of them comforted him repeatedly, and Liu He's mood finally eased a little.

Cui Jun said: "The notice for recruiting miracle doctors has been published in various cities. My lord, please wait for the Flying Eagle Guard to spread the news to other states and counties by carrier pigeons. I have also released them. I believe there will be results soon. My lord, don't worry, just relax."

"Well, I hope so. My life is not in danger for the moment, I am just suffering a little. But Fifth Brother and Zijing may not be able to afford it."

Although the injuries of Guan Yu and others were serious, they were all superficial wounds. They would be fine after applying medicine and bandaging them and resting for a period of time. However, Liu He, Zhu Ye and Qian Ning were more troublesome, especially the latter two. Their pulses were getting weaker and weaker. If they didn't get medical treatment, they would really die.

The three of them chatted about some trivial matters. Cui Jun and Guan Yu did not dare to disturb Liu He for too long, so as not to delay his recuperation, and they left.

Shangdang County, in Changzi City, inside the prefect's mansion.

The governor of Zhao who had fought against Zhang Jue together with Huangfu Song and Liu He was now seeing off another middle-aged man with a beaming smile on his face.

Although this man's temples were gray at an early age, his complexion was ruddy and his face had few wrinkles, giving him the appearance of an old man with youthful appearance. There was a young man following behind him.

Governor Zhao had a smile on his face and bowed repeatedly to the middle-aged man.

"This time there is a plague in our county and the situation is urgent. If it weren't for Mr. Yuanhua's help, the people of our county would have suffered heavy casualties. Mr. Yuanhua deserves my respect!"

He was about to bow down, and the middle-aged man quickly held him back.

"No, no, I am just a commoner who knows a little bit about medicine. I studied medicine to cure diseases and save lives. This time I passed by your place and encountered an epidemic. How could I sit back and watch? The governor loves the people like his own children. He is very different from the many local officials I have met while practicing medicine over the years. I really admire him."

Zhao Yu was very happy to receive the compliment, and he stroked his beard and laughed.

"To be honest, sir, I was not like this before. I have been an official for half my life. Although I am not like many local officials who oppress the people and act recklessly, I have never cared about the affairs of ordinary people as much as I do now. Zhao's transformation today is all due to the efforts of one person."

The middle-aged man asked curiously, "Oh? The governor of Zhao is a high-ranking official and a wealthy family in this county. Who is so capable that he dares to teach you how to be an official?"

A hint of admiration suddenly appeared on Zhao Yu's body.

"Speaking of this man, he is a rare young hero in the world. He has royal blood and at a young age, he defeated Zhang Jiao's bandit army, stabilized the local area, and appeased the refugees. In a few years, he made hundreds of thousands of people live and work in peace. Later, he went north to Yanmen to fight against the barbarians and won many battles. Even Zhao and his useless son were influenced by his guidance and admired him very much."

The middle-aged man suddenly realized: "Could the prefect be referring to Liu He, the prefect of Yanmen?"

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Yes, it is this person. But Mr. Yuanhua is out of date. He has been transferred to be the governor of Shuofang and the commander of the enemy several months ago. The governor of Yanmen is now Cui Zhouping, the youngest son of Cui Tingwei of the imperial court."

"I see. I have been practicing medicine in various places and have long heard of the heroic name of this Governor Liu. He is indeed a rare and outstanding person."

"Haha, if there's a chance in the future, I'll introduce you to him."

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he ordered his servant to bring over a plate.

"Sir, your contribution is so great that it is hard to express in words. I hope you will accept this small token of my appreciation."

On the tray, there is a row of horseshoe gold, shining brightly and dazzling the eyes.

The middle-aged man was unmoved: "You are too polite, Your Excellency. I practice medicine to cure diseases and save lives, not for these mundane things. Moreover, although the plague has been brought under control, many people have suffered and need relief from the government. You should leave this money for them, Your Excellency." Zhao Yu wanted to persuade him but was interrupted by a sudden shout.

"Urgent news... Urgent news..."

Zhao Yu looked at the messenger who was running over in a hurry with some displeasure.

"You are so flustered, how can you be so anxious? Why are you so anxious? Can't you see I am discussing important matters with Mr. Yuanhua?"

Mr. Yuanhua said, "Since the governor has government affairs to attend to, it is inconvenient for me to get involved. I will take my leave now."

"Wait a minute, sir. You have been exhausted and toiled for days. Since you will not accept the gold, you should at least rest in your mansion for two days. At the very least, you should let Zhao treat you to a banquet. Otherwise, how will Zhao and the people in the city cope with it?"

The young man behind Mr. Yuanhua leaned close to his ear and said, "Master, I am indeed hungry..."

Mr. Yuanhua glared at his disciple unhappily.

"Well, since the prefect is so kind, I will not refuse. But the prefect should read this urgent report first, so as not to delay important matters."

Zhao Yu was happy to see that he agreed, so he opened the urgent message.

But then, his expression suddenly changed!

Seeing his expression, Mr. Yuanhua couldn't help but ask, "What made the governor so panicked?"

Zhao Yu almost cried, "It's not good, it's not good! The governor Liu He, whom I just mentioned to you, led his army to the north and won a great victory, beheading the Xiongnu King Xutu and the Xianbei leader."

Mr. Yuan Hua looked puzzled: "Isn't this a great thing? General Liu has stabilized the world in one fell swoop. From now on, the northern border of our Han Dynasty will be peaceful. This is an unparalleled great achievement. It is really worthy of the whole country's celebration. Why did the governor Zhao say that it was a big bad thing?"

"Hey, if that were all, it would be a great joyous occasion, but several generals are seriously injured and unconscious, and the military doctors are at a loss. Even Governor Liu himself has been framed by a villain and has been severely poisoned, and no antidote has been found yet!"

When these words were spoken, even Mr. Yuanhua was very surprised.

"How could such a thing happen? Who is so despicable as to poison and murder the general of our Han Dynasty?"

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "This matter was not mentioned in the letter. This letter was sent by my son six hundred miles away in an urgent manner, asking me to do my best to find miracle doctors to treat Governor Liu and several generals. However, they are all in critical condition. What can Zhao do at this moment?"

The young man behind Mr. Yuanhua suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, Governor Zhao is really forgetful. Isn't my master still here? How could you forget so quickly?"

Zhao Yu was stunned, then slapped his forehead hard.

"Oh, yes, with Mr. Yuanhua here, he will definitely be able to rescue Governor Liu and the generals! I hope you will spare no effort and rush to Yanmen!"

Zhao Yu bowed deeply.

"You don't have to do this, sir. I don't deserve it."

He helped Zhao Yu up and said, "This Governor Liu was loyal to his country and was not afraid of danger, which is why he encountered such a disaster. He shed his blood for our peace at the border. Now that he is in trouble, how can we ignore him? Governor, rest assured, I will set off immediately!"

As soon as he said this, the young man behind him started to grumble: "Leave now, I haven't eaten yet..."

Mr. Yuanhua glared at him fiercely: "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating! What's the point of this? Have you forgotten all the instructions from your teacher?"

The apprentice seemed a little aggrieved after being scolded by him.

Zhao Yu hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Sir, don't blame me. It's a long journey to Yanmen, how can we go on an empty stomach? I will ask the mansion to prepare food immediately. After you two have your meal, I will prepare some dry food. Then I will write a letter and personally send you off!"

Mr. Yuanhua bowed and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you, Governor!"
