Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 336: Divine Doctor Hua Tuo
All parts of the northern border have been on high alert these days.

Although the army suffered heavy losses this time, Liu He had left behind nearly 30,000 infantrymen to guard various cities and Yanmen Pass and other places, so the public security in various places was not affected by the war.

Although Yanmen Pass is no longer threatened by the northern Hu people, because it is the gateway to Yanmen and Taiyuan counties and is connected to Taihang Mountains in the east, it is still guarded by 3,000 elite troops for a long time. The garrison commander is none other than Pan Yun, who had led Da Meng to the camp of Wulu Army, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army.

He was injured during that camping trip and was left with a hidden illness. Although it was not serious, it caused him to fail the selection of several elite troops and he had to stay behind to guard the city.

However, he often received personal care from Liu He and others on weekdays, and his younger brother was selected to join the Golden Sword Camp, so he looked happy every day.

However, he has been frowning and unable to sleep or eat for the past two days, which has puzzled the soldiers at Yanmen Pass.

"Here comes someone!"

Pan Yun called over a few of his personal soldiers.

"Have you received a detailed military report? What is the list of casualties in the war?"

The guard shook his head and said, "No news has been received. Now we only know that the lord and General Zhu Ye are seriously injured and are recruiting a miracle doctor. The other generals Guan, Cheng, Zhang, Ye, Gao are all fine. The rest are unknown."

Pan Yun sighed, his face showing a mixture of worry and joy.

One of the guards asked tentatively, "General, are you worried about your brother?"

Pan Yun glanced at him and said, "You guessed it right."

The personal soldier smiled and said, "Hehe, I am a soldier trained by you. But I would say that you don't have to worry about this matter. I saw the list of casualties in the next two days. Moreover, the lord is recruiting doctors everywhere to treat the wounded. I believe that nothing will happen."

Pan Yun's expression eased a little.

"Well, I hope so. Our Yanmen Pass is a fortress that connects the north and south. There will definitely be some doctors coming here in the next two days. But there is no guarantee that there will be spies who want to sneak through. We must be careful to investigate."

"General, don't worry. We have obeyed the lord's order and have already closed the city gates. Apart from the caravan pass issued by the lord, only doctors who have been checked by us can be allowed to pass. Nothing will happen."

At this moment, a messenger suddenly ran in.

"Report... There is a doctor who claims to be from Shangdang and is going to Yinguan City to respond to the recruitment order!"

Pan Yun's eyes lit up: "Oh? It's true what he said. Let's go and see for ourselves. If this is true, he might be the future benefactor of our Anmin Army."

Several people hurried out and came to the foot of the city.

I saw a middle-aged man with a young man, looking exhausted and anxious.

Pan Yun stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Are you two the doctors here to respond to the call?"

The young man interrupted and said, "Yes, Master heard that Governor Liu was in critical condition in Yinguan City, so he came all the way here. Why did you close the gate and not let us in?"

The middle-aged man stopped him and said, "Stop fooling around. You have no right to speak."

The young man took a few steps back in displeasure after being yelled at.

The middle-aged man smiled kindly and said, "I passed by Shangdang County not long ago and encountered a local plague, so I stayed to assist Governor Zhao. A few days ago, when I was about to leave, I heard that Governor Liu had issued a recruitment order. Governor Liu is loyal and righteous, and loves the people like his own children. I have admired him for a long time, so I asked to come and respond to the call."

When Pan Yun heard this, he was surprised and asked, "Oh? So it was the governor Zhao who introduced me. Do you have any token of trust?"

"Yes, of course." The middle-aged man took out a piece of cloth from his arms.

"This is a handwritten letter from Governor Zhao. Please examine it, General."

Pan Yun hurriedly took it and read it carefully.

"Yes, it is true. It has the seal of the governor Zhao, so it cannot be fake."

Pan Yun's face was filled with joy. "The governor of Zhao said that the plague was solved thanks to you, which shows that you are an excellent doctor. May I know your name?"

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. It's all too much praise from the governor Zhao. My surname is Hua Tuo, and my courtesy name is Yuanhua. It's just a taboo, not worth mentioning."

"Okay, okay! Doctor Hua, please come in quickly. I will personally lead the troops to escort you to Yinguan City!"

"Thank you, General!"

A moment later, a neat team of people, escorting a carriage, hurried towards Yinguan City.

"Report... General Pan from Yanmen Pass has personally escorted a miracle doctor to respond to the call..." The hurried voice of a messenger spread throughout the prefectural government.

"Oh? Someone responded so quickly? That's great. Otherwise, if it drags on, I'm afraid General Zhu and General Qian will be the first to collapse."

Cui Jun and Qian Li, who were handling government affairs in the nearby room, were overjoyed when they heard this and hurried out.

Pan Yun led Hua Tuo and his disciple into the room. When they saw Cui Jun and Qian Li, they hurried forward to greet them.

"No need to be so polite. I guess this gentleman must be the miracle doctor, right?"

Pan Yun said, "Yes, this is Mr. Hua Tuo. He treated the plague in Shangdang County not long ago, so the governor of Zhao personally recommended him to come and treat the lord."

The two were delighted: "You are truly a man of great talent to be able to cure the plague!"

"I dare not. The people I govern are only a few dozen, a few hundred, or at most a thousand. You heroes have stabilized the area and made the people live in peace. This achievement is a hundred times greater than mine."

Hua Tuo said modestly.

"Well, no need to be polite here. The injury is urgent. Please follow me to see the lord as soon as possible!"

Cui Jun led the way and took Hua Tuo to the back house.

"Please, sir. The lord will live in this house."

Cui Jun knocked on the door, but there was no answer.

"Hmm? Could it be that the lord is taking a rest?"

"Since the lord has gone to bed, why not go and treat General Zhu first."

Qian Li made a suggestion.

"Well, okay, let's go."

Just as they were about to leave, Pan Yun suddenly shouted, "No, there's a sound in the house. Listen, it seems... it seems... it seems like fingers are grabbing something..."

After he said this, everyone listened attentively and indeed, they heard a "creaking" sound.

"Maybe something has happened to the lord. Forget about the formalities and go in and take a look!"

Cui Jun pushed open the door, but the scene before them really surprised them.

Liu He was seen sitting upright, his face was pale, cold sweat was pouring down his body, and he was trembling all over. Most importantly, his two hands were tightly grasping a corner of the couch, and his nails left marks on the wood one after another. He was also biting a piece of cloth in his mouth, and his expression was so painful that even Cui Jun and others felt a little scared when they looked at him.

"My Lord, what are you doing..."

Cui Jun asked questions, but Liu He seemed not to hear him and did not respond at all.

Hua Tuo suddenly stood up and said, "Oh no! Governor Liu is poisoned!"

"What? The poison has attacked again? It just attacked again two days ago, how could it attack so quickly?"

"This Nine Flowers Heart-Destroying Powder is extremely toxic. The onset of the poison is faster and more severe each time. It is definitely not something that ordinary people can endure. I didn't expect that Lord Liu could hold on without shouting or screaming. He is truly a god. Originally, I was only 50% sure of detoxification, but now I am 90% sure!"

Hua Tuo looked at Liu He with admiration.

"In that case, please act quickly, sir!"

Cui Jun and others hurriedly pleaded.

"Okay, please go and prepare a bucket of hot water."

"What does this mean?" Everyone was puzzled.

Hua Tuo's disciple said impatiently, "Oh, of course it's for detoxification. Go quickly, or it will be troublesome if the treatment is delayed."

"Oh, I see, I see. I'll go right away!"

Cui Jun and others did not dare to delay and retreated immediately.
