Chapter 693 Identity
“Bo Dao!”
Xu Miao screamed in fright when he saw Hao Zhao vomiting blood.
“Come on, please go and ask the Korean medical workers to come over!”
Hao Zhao grabbed Xu Miao's hand and said, "Ming Gong, listen to me first!"
Looking at the servant leaving in a hurry, Xu Miao turned around and said, "Bo Dao, I'm here. You should have a good rest first and don't get angry again."
Hao Zhao shook his head and held Xu Miao's hand tightly and refused to let go: "Ming Gong, please listen to me first."
Xu Miao saw Hao Zhao refusing to let go until he spoke out, so he quickly said: "Bo Dao, please speak slowly, I'm listening!"
Hao Zhao ignored the blood stains on his chest and took a strong breath: "Ming Gong, you are new to Liangzhou, and you may still not understand the situation in Liangzhou."
"Liangzhou is a place where Qiang rebellions are frequent, which is very different from Youzhou (Xu Miao is from Youzhou). Most of the Hu people in Youzhou are invaders from outside the country. The Qiang Hu people in Liangzhou all rebel within the country."
“Therefore, it is easy to defend against the barbarians in Youzhou, but it is difficult to defend against the barbarians in Liangzhou. The Bald Hair tribe is inherently brave and good at fighting, but they are unruly and difficult to tame.”
“If they live together with the Qiang and Hu people in Liangzhou for a long time and become rebellious, it will be difficult to check and balance them.”
“Although the Qiang Hu people in Longxi’s Phanhan area are large in number, even if they temporarily have the upper hand over the Bald Hair tribe, it is difficult for dogs to stop a pack of wolves, and they will definitely not be the enemy of the Bald Hair tribe in the end.”
"Today the Bald Hair tribe seems to be obedient, but in fact it is like the Yiyi in Huangzhong who followed the Hu people in the past. Don't be careless! If you let them occupy the land of Wuhan and swallow the Qiang and Hu people of Wuhan, disaster in Liangzhou will be imminent!"
Hao Zhao said this in one breath, coughed again, and finally uttered a few words: "The Bald Ministry... must not be allowed to grow!"
Then he felt like the world was spinning and he fainted.
“Bo Dao!”
Xu Miao tremblingly put his finger under Hao Zhao's nose, and found that he was still breathing weakly, so he was slightly relieved.
At this time, I could only hear footsteps approaching outside the door.
“Ming Gong…”
As soon as the Korean medical worker who entered the room said something, Xu Miao immediately stepped forward and pulled him to Hao Zhao's bedside, and said urgently: "Sir, please save General Hao!"
The Korean medical worker looks to be in his late fifties, and his manners are elegant, giving people a personable feeling.
If they didn't know his identity, others would only think that he was a learned man, and would not think that he was just a medical worker.
His eyes are very soft, and at first glance they look like humility, but deep in his eyes, there is a little bit of imperceptible calmness and indifference.
It seems that because of his identity, he has seen too many lives and deaths, so he has become accustomed to it.
He seemed not to notice the blood on the couch. He stretched out three fingers and gently placed them on Hao Zhao's wrist. Then he closed his eyes slightly and checked his pulse carefully.
After a while, he opened his eyes again, turned to Xu Miao and said, "General Hao's blood is attacking his heart, his heart is too angry, and he needs to rest."
“Is it going to be serious now?”
Xu Miao asked anxiously.
“It doesn’t matter, I’ve prepared a thousand-year-old ginseng soup for a long time. As long as the general takes it, it will calm down his mind.”
The Korean medical worker looked calm and said confidently.
“Thank you so much, sir.” Xu Miao said to the Korean medical worker.
Xu Miao was from Youzhou, so he naturally knew that the old man’s ginseng produced in Liaodong was a life-saving medicine.
“It’s just a little effort.” The Korean medical worker waved his hand and glanced at Hao Zhao, who had his eyes closed tightly. “Ming Gong only needs someone to serve General Hao and take the ginseng soup, and then let him have a good rest.”
After the Han doctor finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the room. He waved and saw a servant coming over with two jade boxes.
The Korean medical worker took one of them and opened it, only to see a human-shaped ginseng inside.
“You only need to cut a small piece at noon every day, boil it into soup and drink it, and you can save General Hao’s life.”
After speaking, he handed the jade box to Xu Miao who followed him.
Then he took another jade box and said, "In this box, there is medicinal powder to treat General Hao."
"Be careful to take it with warm water every day, and the disease will be cured after the medicine is finished. The only thing to worry about is that General Hao should not think too much anymore. If the heart is too angry, it will be difficult for the gods to save him."
Xu Miao handed two jade boxes to the servants in the house. Hearing the words of the Korean medical worker, he asked with some uncertainty: "Are the Korean medical workers ready to leave?"
The Korean medical worker nodded: "That's right."
Seeing Xu Miao's worried look, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Ming Gong. I will only leave after General Hao's condition stabilizes in the next two days."
Seeing that he was so sure, Xu Miao finally felt relieved, but then he felt a little reluctant: "From what I saw in Mr. Han's conversation, he is not an ordinary person. He must not be a foreigner, right?"
Han Medical Engineer smiled calmly: "My ancestors also had some reputation, but it has declined to this point. I dare not mention it again, lest I humiliate our ancestors."
Xu Miao suddenly said: "No wonder."
Then he asked doubtfully: "I heard Mr. Han's words a few days ago, which are quite insightful. I think he must be talented, so why are you willing to associate with foreigners?"
Hearing Xu Miao's question, the usually indifferent Korean medical worker's expression finally changed slightly. He was silent for a moment, and then said: "I was forced by my enemies to leave Sawai'er."
Xu Miao was not too surprised when he heard this.
Whether the barbarians enter the pass or the Han people leave the pass, there are many reasons, and vendetta is only one of them, which is common in the north.
He invited the Korean medical worker to take a seat in the hall and brushed his beard on his chin: "I have something to say to you, sir, but I'm afraid of being rude to you."
The Han medical worker's eyes flashed: "A villain is just a person with a lowly career. Ming Gong is a person in a high position. If you have anything to say, please just give me your instructions."
Xu Miao waved his hand: "No. Mr. Hao has a life-saving grace for General Hao. His words and deeds are all good. I think he must be a capable person, so I treat him with courtesy."
At this point, he looked at the Korean medical workers: "Nowadays, the world is boiling and the country's fate is very difficult. All ambitious people in the world show their abilities in order to become famous."
“Sir, since our ancestors have a good reputation and are now forced to associate with the barbarians, why not just stay here and try to revive the family?”
The Han medical worker's eyes flashed brightly, and then quickly dimmed: "This villain is just a stupid man who does despicable things. How dare he talk about reviving the family?"
Xu Miao said sternly, "Mencius once said: Shun was born among the acres of land, Fu Shuao was raised among the board buildings, among the rubber leather and fish salt, Guan Yi was raised by the soldiers, Sun Shu'ao was raised by the sea, and Baili Xi was raised. Raise it to the city.”
“Before they became prominent, the above-mentioned sages may have been in lowly professions or served as servants to their subordinates, but once they became determined, they gave their best.”
"Although I am not talented, I can see from my observation of Mr. Sir's words and deeds that he must be a man who has studied scriptures for a long time. Even though he has succumbed to the barbarians, he still speaks Chinese and wears Han clothes."
"It can be seen from this that Mr. China is still unforgettable. A certain person is the governor of a state. If Mr. Wang is interested, I would like to recommend him to serve as an official."
With Xu Miao’s status, it is considered sincere to be able to speak on this topic.
Han Medical Engineer's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Xu Miao and asked, "Dare you ask about Duke Ming's ambition?"
"Of course it is for the emperor to destroy the unconquered ministers and stabilize the world." Xu Miao said, sighing, "However, the rampant Shu captives and the cunning Wu invaders are really the source of trouble for the world!"
When the Korean medical worker heard this, he lowered his eyes so that no one could see the sneer flashing in his eyes. When he raised his head again, his expression had become solemn.
“Since Ming Gong’s ambition is to make peace in the world, in the battle of Longyou, the Shu people occupied four counties and cut off the connection between Liangzhou and Guanzhong, but I don’t know what countermeasures Ming Gong could have?”
Xu Miao was horrified. He saw that Korean medical workers were different from ordinary people, so he tried it out.
At this moment, I heard his words reveal the biggest crisis in Liangzhou, and I was even more sure that this person had extraordinary insight: "This is the person I worry about day and night. I wonder what you can teach me, sir?"
The Korean medical worker declined: "This is the general trend of the world. I am just a fool, how dare I say it lightly?"
"Otherwise. Sir, you must have some concerns when you mentioned the situation in Liangzhou just now. I sincerely ask you to elaborate."
Xu Miao cupped his hands with a solemn expression and a formal demeanor, just like he was asking someone.
Seeing Xu Miao's appearance, he knew that he could not refuse, so he made a request.
"Ming Gong wants me to try to say something, but I can't be around, and I have to make an agreement with Ming Gong in advance. No matter whether what the villain says can reach the ears of Ming Gong, I will not vent my anger on the villain."
Hearing what the Korean medical worker said, Xu Miao quickly responded and stepped back.
“Sir, please give me a try.”
Xu Miao asked solemnly, sitting upright.
“One is to switch sides and surrender to the people of Shu…”
As soon as he said this, Xu Miao's face changed. His face became bright and he stood half-upright, about to speak.
The Korean doctor raised his hand and said, "Ming Ming, please sit down first and allow me to finish my words first."
Xu Miao remembered that he had asked the other party, and he had to sit down forcibly.
“Think of the Shu people as occupying only one state. If Ming Gong raises a state and surrenders it, it will be twice the size of Shu’s territory, and Ming Gong will definitely not lose his title of feudal lord.”
Xu Miao interrupted and said: "A certain person is deeply valued by the emperor, how can he betray the emperor and ask for glory?"
When the Korean medical worker heard this, he smiled lightly and did not refute. He just kept talking.
"Both, Ming Gong can use the strength of Liangzhou to fight against the Shu people in order to regain the pass through Guanzhong. However, now there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Guanzhong, and they still dare not move westward. Minggong currently has the Liangzhou troops in his hands to attack eastward. , can you defeat the people of Shu?"
Xu Miaomo couldn't answer.
This is what he wants to do most, and it is also difficult to do.
The Shu captives have been plotting to move north for a long time. Once they succeed, how can they easily give up Longyou?
The Korean medical worker looked at Xu Miao, with a smile finally showing on his face.
He could only hear his tone increase: "Therefore, in my opinion, the safest way for Ming Gong is to defend himself in Liangzhou."
Xu Miao suddenly opened his eyes.
Han Medical Engineer met Xu Miao's gaze and continued: "Liangzhou has been unpopular with Guandong for a long time, and Liangzhou officials have long been alienated from Guandong."
“Especially in the past few decades, more and more people with lofty ideals in Liangzhou are unwilling to go east to Tongguan to serve as officials unless they have no choice but to stay in Liangzhou.”
“If Duke Ming wants to raise troops in Liangzhou to fight against the Shu people and return to pass the pass, I am afraid that the officials in Liangzhou may not be willing to use their full strength.”
At this point, the Korean medical worker lowered his voice, turned sideways towards Xu Miao, and said seductively: "But if you still call yourself Wei Chen in public, secretly you are connected with the Shu people."
“In fact, I am sitting and guarding Liangzhou, watching the fight between the Shu people and the Wei people. I believe that the officials of Liangzhou will happily follow me and support Duke Ming as the lord of Liangzhou.”
Xu Miao couldn't sit still anymore, stood up suddenly, and said sternly: "Who are you?"
The Korean medical worker sat up straight with a calm expression: "As Ming Gong sees it, the villain is just a medical worker. My foolish opinion has stained Ming Gong's ears. I hope you will forgive me."
With that said, he stood up, bowed and saluted, turned around and walked out.
Logically speaking, if this person made such treasonous remarks, he should be arrested and interrogated.
But Xu Miao watched his figure disappear at the door, but remained silent for a long time.
When Hao Zhao proposed to transfer the Zhang family from Dunhuang to the east to help defend Liangzhou, Xu Miao was able to raise questions about the Zhang family, which is enough to show that he is not a person who knows nothing about Liangzhou.
It is precisely because he knows something about Liangzhou that he knows that what this person said just now is that if you defend yourself in Liangzhou, you will most likely get the full support of the Liangzhou officials.
Two days later, Hao Zhao finally regained consciousness and stabilized his condition.
The Korean medical workers stopped staying and headed southwest with their own troops.
Xu Miao’s guests left Guzang, and Feng Yong from Shouyang welcomed an unexpected guest.
"Bald Khotan?" Feng Yong heard someone coming from the west specifically to find him. He repeated the name, and then looked at the servant who reported the report, "Are you sure it's this name?"
“Huijunhou, that’s exactly what he said.”
“Invite him in quickly.”
Feng Yong was in a daze for a moment before he said.
The surname Tufa had an extremely important influence on Liangzhou in later generations.
At the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty, another rebellion broke out in Liangzhou because of the Western Jin Dynasty's wrong policies towards the Hu people.
The leader is a man named Bald Tree Function.
In this Liangzhou Rebellion, Sima Yan sent almost all the famous generals of the Jin Dynasty to the northwest battlefield. Four northwest frontier officials died in succession. This rebellion greatly shook the rule of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Let Sima Yan lament that "Although the bandits of Wu and Shu have been restored, they have not reached this point."
At the same time, it also proves that Xianbei, the bald man, is brave and good at fighting.
Although I don’t know what the connection is between Bald Hair Kheli and the Bald Hair Tree’s function, the surname Bald Hair is really too special. Feng Yong can be sure that the Bald Hair Tree’s function definitely comes from the Bald Hair Department.
Because no one else in the world has this surname except Baldness.
The reason why Feng Yong knew about the Qin Liang Rebellion was because Bald Tree Function was defeated by Ma Long.
And Malong is the successor of the Eight Formation Diagram.
The Xianbei Bald Hair Division was originally a piece of free chess that I randomly arranged by chance.
However, Bald-faced Khotan really did not forget his previous promise. After listening to his words and finding a place for the tribe to settle down, he even sent someone to give him a gift.
Then, I was intercepted by that guy Zhao Guang.
Although the gift was not in his hands, the way this person acted made people feel that he could hand it over.
Feng Yong was thinking when he saw a foreigner wearing a woolen cloth and a felt hat walking in under the leadership of his servants.
“The barbarian is bald and standing, and I have seen Feng Langjun.”
The visitor took off his felt hat, then knelt on the ground and gave a big salute to Feng Yong.
Feng Yong looked around and saw that only the man lying below had his chin exposed. The middle was bald, and only the sides of the head had hair left.
“Get up.”
Feng Yong said.
The visitor then raised his head. Who was the Bald-faced Khotan who had made a white-horse alliance with him back then?
When Feng Yong saw that it was really him, he couldn't help but laughed and said, "Bald Khotan, why do you look like this?"
Bald-haired Tienli was overjoyed when he saw that Feng Yong had not seen him outside. He quickly explained: "Back to Feng Langjun, the villain is already married, so I have my hair styled according to the clan's rules."
“Oh?” Feng Yong raised his eyebrows, “So that’s it.”
Then he pointed to the seat and said, "Come, sit down and talk."
“Thank you Feng Langjun.”
Baldy Khotan sat down in a dignified manner.
Seeing the servant preparing to pour him tea, Feng Yong was moved and ordered: "Young Master has come a long way, and it's very cold along the way. Go and get the strong wine I have collected."
Then he asked the bald-haired Kheli: "Why did the Young Lord come to Shouyang at this time? I remember, didn't you send someone to deliver a message last time, saying that your tribe had settled on the other side of the West Sea? "
“It’s a long way from the West Sea to Shouyang. I’m afraid we have to set off in winter, right?”
Bald-haired Tianli lowered his head slightly and said respectfully: "Back to Feng Langjun, it is indeed the case. The villain set out from the West Sea in winter and walked for more than a month before arriving at Longxi."
Feng Yong nodded, picked up the ear cup, took a sip of tea, and pondered for a moment: "I remember, during the Battle of Longyou, it seems that your Bald Hair Division also participated?"
Bald-haired Tianli heard Feng Yong mention this, quickly stood up, and lay down again: "This villain is here to apologize to Feng Langjun for this matter."
"Feng Langjun, our bald tribe has settled in the West Sea, but the east is the territory of the Wei people. They are much stronger than us, and we have to obey their orders."
“Last year, they forced most of our warriors to come to Longyou, and we had to listen.”
"The villain and his tribe have received great favor from Feng Langjun. If the Wei people had not threatened the lives of the entire tribe, how would they dare to fight against the Han Dynasty?"
"When we were in Pingxiang, the Wei general ordered us to cut off our rear, but he escaped first. After the villain learned about it, he only dared to make a show and retreated with his people."
Feng Yong listened to his words and nodded: "Okay, you get up first. I know all what you said, and I was also in Pingxiang at the time."
Bald-haired Tianli then dared to stand up, with a look of great surprise on his face: "So Feng Langjun was also there at that time? Why didn't you send someone to deliver a letter to the villain?"
"If the villain had gained the trust of Feng Langjun at that time, he would have turned against the Wei people and prevented them from returning to Liangzhou."
Feng Yong smiled.
Just listen to this kind of hindsight.
