Chapter 76: Become famous and spread widely! [Seeking follow-up reading]

Afternoon application time.

"This is the information Chen Ying collected from various places."

Jia Xu sat opposite Cao Cao and reported in the study:

"After Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor, officials and nobles from all walks of life felt insecure, and many submitted to him out of fear.

But the counterattack force in secret also became stronger, trying to contain Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's response was violent suppression.

Yesterday in Nangong, 21 officials were beaten to death, just because the officials he appointed arrived and the subordinates refused to acknowledge them. "

"The day before yesterday, in order to raise food and military pay, he ordered the surrounding counties to send food to Luoyang. Those who raised less than what he required were boiled in boiling water and then compensated for the missing food by weight. Some people were so frightened that they lost their minds."

Cao Cao thought that Dong Zhuo's evil deeds had been greatly restrained because of the current situation in Luoyang, which had restrained him.

But a dog will always eat shit, and he will only become more violent when encountering problems.

"I will expedite the delivery of this information to various places to spread it widely."

Jia Xu: "Although Yuan Wei was captured by Dong Zhuo, the power of the Yuan family is working hard to deal with Dong Zhuo, both openly and secretly. Now is the most critical moment for him to depose the emperor."

"You mean Dong Zhuo will do his best to destroy the Yuan family."

"Eliminating the Yuan family would consolidate his power over the court and further intimidate others. But then... the upper army might become his target."

"Dong Zhuo is trying to solve the problem of food and wages for his troops. Although there is great resistance, his deterrent means are effective in the short term. We must be prepared for the weaknesses of the upper army. Once Dong Zhuo has recovered, he will attack with all his strength."

"Instead of waiting for him to recover, why can't we take action first?" Cao Cao sneered.

He always takes the initiative and never lets his opponent take the initiative.

Jia Xu: "What the upper army means is... we should lure Dong Zhuo in first?"

Cao Cao hummed, then asked, "Are you making any progress on what I asked you to do?"

"Looking for the two doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing?"

"They are not difficult to find. Zhang Zhongjing retired from his post as governor of Changsha last year. He did not want to be an official and only loved practicing medicine.

When he was the governor, he still opened the clinic regularly to see patients. "

"The year before last, there was a major epidemic. The court sent a special envoy to ask Zhang Zhongjing to write a prescription, which was used in areas where the epidemic was widespread, and effectively controlled the spread of the epidemic."

"He resigned from his post as governor last year and still runs a clinic in the area. He also compiled a medical book called Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases."

"After finding Zhang Zhongjing, we sent people to stake out his clinic. Was there any progress?" Cao Cao asked again.

Regarding Huang Zhong, he had a son named Huang Xu, who caught a severe cold and was unable to recover for many years, which is what we call asthma in later generations.

Huang Zhong was a man of great courage but he was not famous in his early years because he was always seeking medical treatment everywhere and had few opportunities to demonstrate his martial arts skills.

Zhang Zhongjing was good at treating typhoid fever.

With his fame, he might have attracted Huang Zhong, who was seeking medical treatment everywhere.

According to Cao Cao's judgment, Liu Biao must have gone to Jingzhou to serve as the governor and obtained Huang Zhong's loyalty.

In other words, Huang Zhong will go to Changsha!
If you wait in Zhang Zhongjing's clinic, you will most likely get something in return.

Cao Cao and Jia Xu were discussing something, while outside Cao's house, the old man looked at the plaque for a long time and said, "Who wrote this? I can't understand it at all."

The plaque in the mansion was written in cursive script by Cao Cao himself, with vigorous strokes.

But the old man didn't recognize cursive writing.

He walked up to the guard outside the mansion and asked, "Is this Cao's mansion?"

The old man had a weather-beaten face and was quite tall. He was wearing a clean but old yellow-brown Hanfu, and when he smiled he revealed two gaps in his teeth.

Inside the mansion, Dian Wei, who was standing outside the study, suddenly brightened up and became excited. He walked into the study from the door:
"Sir, my master is here. I'm going to pick him up."

Before this, Cao Cao had the idea of ​​finding Dian Wei's master, the legendary Old Zhang.

Although he was very confident about the situation in Luoyang, he believed that the more experts there were, the safer it would be.

Having more powerful people gathering around you is also a kind of luck and is of great benefit.

Dian Wei also wanted to drag his master to taste the donkey meat so that they could share the happiness together.

After he separated from Old Zhang, he also didn't know where he was, so he sent someone to the place where the two had lived and left a letter.

It has been a while since Old Zhang finally arrived.

Cao Cao said, "You go ahead." Dian Wei roared like a tiger, leaped out, and after a few jumps, he came to the front yard through the houses and buildings: "Master, why did you come so late?"

The old man at the door saw Dian Wei, grinned, and walked up the stairs.

Dian Wei rushed over and patted the old man on the shoulder without any respect:

"I have plenty to eat here. You told me that if you ate donkey meat once, you wouldn't trade it for a wife. Now I eat it every day.

The young master is a very good man. I have saved all the salary he gave me. You always said that you have never found a wife in your life. When I save enough money, I will find you a wife and I will feel at ease. "

"Stop being silly. Isn't this what I said when we parted?" the old man rolled his eyes.

The master and disciple were reunited and both were happy.

When Dian Wei said that he ate donkey meat every day, he swallowed his saliva when he thought of how delicious the meat was.

Old Zhang also seemed to be swallowing, but it was very subtle.

Dian Wei grabbed his master's shoulders, leaped up like a flying bird, and returned to the study room in the inner courtyard.

Cao Cao stood up from behind the low seat and looked at Dian Wei's master:

[Zhang Huai: nicknamed Tianji, from Chenliu Jiwu, a military strategist, in his early years he hid his identity and secretly entered the army, absorbing the military strategists' fighting spirit, and reached the peak of the supernatural power realm]

[He was worried about Dian Wei and wanted to see if the master mentioned in the letter was worth serving.]

[Zhang Huai can burst out with all his strength, and his combat power can reach 90, but he is no longer in his prime. Unless he fights desperately, his normal combat power is 86]

[Dian Wei's gluttony +3 attribute comes from his blood-fueled cultivation method. Zhang Huai is the same, he likes all kinds of food in the world and has an amazing appetite. Feed him accurately, for details, please refer to Dian Wei]

The famous Tianji Zhang Huai.

His name was briefly mentioned in the official history, saying that Dian Wei learned from a master of halberd.

This expert in using the halberd refers to Zhang Huai.

Cao Cao was looking at Zhang Huai, and Zhang Huai was also looking at him.

When Cao Cao and Zhang Huai met, at the east gate of Luoyang, Yu Wen, the head of the Yu family, lifted the curtain of the car and took a look at the towering city wall.

"There is news that Luoyang was occupied by Dong Zhuo, and the city gate was able to be saved because Cao Cao led the Xiyuan Army, first seized the city gate, and then resisted Dong Zhuo several times."

Yu Wen talked to a scholar who was accompanying him in the carriage.

This is a retainer of his Yu family, who is well versed in strategy and is highly trusted.

The doorman said: "The master is right, people in various places are currently praising Cao Cao's name.

Dong Zhuo had been in Luoyang for only twenty days when his notoriety became known to the whole world.

Cao Cao resisted Dong Zhuo, and his reputation as a wise man spread far and wide. "

Yu Wen understood, "You mean, someone is deliberately pushing for Cao Cao to become famous?"

The servant nodded: "That's right."

That was done by Jia Xu, who spread Cao Cao's reputation everywhere and exaggerated it very well. This is called building up momentum in advance.

"He's a good businessman."

Yu Wen was not opposed to the move to become famous.

Fame can bring many things, and most ambitious people need this fame.

Otherwise, how could Yuedanping attract so many scholars from all over the world?
As soon as the carriage entered the city, a group of people came to meet it and asked outside the carriage: "Are you from the Yu family? Our army sent us to escort the head of the family.

He was delayed by some trivial matter and was unable to come to greet you. He will come to the mansion later and confess his crime in person to the head of the family."

Yu Wen was surprised when he heard this.

He didn't tell anyone about his itinerary, so how could Cao Cao predict his coming?
What surprised him even more was that the head of the troops stationed on the city wall, Huangfu Song's deputy general Du Ling, actually came down from the city wall and led the troops to escort them to Cao's mansion.

Cao Cao regarded the Yu family of Yecheng as an important collaborator.

If the other party comes over, showing his strength appropriately can make the other party feel at ease to place his bet, so Cao Cao made some arrangements in advance.

Du Ling was very considerate and personally came to support Cao Cao.

Of course, he also happened to be going to Cao's house to discuss something.

Yu Wen was sitting in the car and felt that when he was the emperor's father-in-law, he didn't have such style. He was escorted by thousands of soldiers when entering the city.
