Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 221 Zhongliang feeds the wolf

Zhang Fei couldn't say anything profound, but he always felt:

A famous general shouldn't die like this.

Or die fighting in a national war like Talas.

Or be like a champion and be competed by heaven for your destiny, shining brightly.

But in short, it should not be like this, waiting for the enemy, only to be slandered and killed by the eunuchs on the battlefield.

Emperor Xuanzong is too impatient. He is afraid that the Tongguan garrison will win or something?

Zhang Fei muttered something to the side.

Liu Bei glanced at it and said casually:

Perhaps Emperor Xuanzong is old.

Liu Bei said this, and Kong Ming also recalled:

It has been said before that when comparing the length of time emperors have been on the throne throughout the ages, Liu Chan reigned for forty-one years and was ranked eighth. Xuanzong was even worse, ranking seventh.

Furthermore, Xuanzong had already ascended the throne when Wang Zhongsi entered the palace as a child, and Xuanzong had been in power for more than thirty years when he died...

Even if he was younger during the Anshi Rebellion, he was still sixty years old.

Then I understand.

Zhang Fei put it there and muttered:

It's like the eldest brother bursting out of Yiling fire in anger.

Xuanzong was so angry that he killed himself with three swords of Tang Dynasty.

Liu Bei was still deep in thought when he suddenly heard this and said angrily:

I told you it was a bet... but I lost the bet.

Xuanzong just listened to slander and reported personal grudges, which is not the same thing.

Liu Bei's feelings towards Xuanzong were very complicated.

Although he was later called Emperor Zhaolie, to be honest, there is a gap between an emperor and an emperor...

Therefore, Liu Bei's heart was still mixed with a kind of sorrow for Xuanzong's prodigal behavior:

His shoes are my treasure.

But Fazheng doesn't care about this and just wants to have fun:

Quick, quick, quick, how many times have you talked about Xuanzong's personal conquest?

Let me wait and see how the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally conquers!

[Xuanzong's personal expedition is like a boss painting big cakes to satisfy his hunger. Cao Cao's Looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst is just a way to boost morale. If you really believe it, you will lose.

However, Tongguan gathered 100,000 troops. At this time, both generals were killed by Xuanzong. The situation was more or less embarrassing.

After all, it was impossible for Xuanzong to control the Tongguan troops and horses in Chang'an. He still needed someone to take the blame... ah, no, he's in charge.

Feng Changqing came back from Anxi to report on his work, and he bumped into him with all his loyalty.

Gao Xianzhi resigned and returned to Chang'an to become an official, so he had to take the job as a last resort.

Seeing that Xuanzong planned to choose a new coach for Tongguan, all civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads, fearing that something bad would hit them.

At the critical moment, someone suggested: Isn't Shu Han, the Duke of Liang, the governor of Hexi Province, in Chang'an?

So the officials, as if they had been granted amnesty, rushed to count Ge Shuhan's achievements, and Xuanzong soon issued an edict to Ge Shuhan.

So why is Ge Shuhan in Chang'an at this time?

After Wang Zhongsi was slandered and killed, Ge Shuhan temporarily acted as the Hexi Jiedu envoy.

Faced with Xuanzong's obsession with Shibao City, he used the concept of fighting a tough battle with Jiedai Village and built Yinglong City nearby, slowly encroaching on it, and finally conquered Shibao City and became a regular official.

Later, Ge Shuhan took the post of Hexi Jiedushi, conquered several Tubo cities, occupied Jiuqu of the Yellow River, and successfully expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty again. For a while, Ge Shuhan was also high-spirited, but soon a turn of fate came.

Ge Shuhan could be called a famous general, but in his private life he was greedy for money, drunkenness, and indulgent.

At the beginning of 755, Ge Shuhan visited Hengzhou. The weather was cold, so he took a hot bath here. As a result, he suffered a stroke and was temporarily paralyzed. He was sent to Chang'an to recuperate.

Judging from his personal life, Ge Shuhan should also be a patient with high blood pressure. Cold weather will cause capillaries to constrict, causing blood pressure to remain at a high level. If you suddenly take a hot bath, the capillaries on the body's surface will expand rapidly and there will be a large amount of blood. pour into the body.

At this time, the temperature of the cerebral arteries has not yet risen and is still in a contracted state. The large influx of blood will either directly burst the small blood vessels of the brain, causing a hemorrhagic stroke; or the blood vessel infarction will cause cerebral ischemia, an ischemic stroke.

Ge Shuhan is better, probably the latter, and still saved.

Half a year passed after he was sent to Chang'an. Ge Shuhan's health slowly recovered, and he was about to ask for orders to go back and take up his post.

Unexpectedly, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were killed, and Xuanzong's edict was delivered to him. 】

In his heart, he despised Xuanzong who only talked but did not do anything. Li Shimin immediately turned his attention to Sun Simiao.

Yao Wang was not surprised. After all, if what Guangmu said was true, he would be afraid of this if he also suffered from head wind.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Simiao nodded first:

Excessive consumption of fat, sweet and alcoholic wine will cause the spleen to lose its health, causing liver wind, excessive liver yang, qi and fire, and forcing the blood to rise. Head wind will occur spontaneously, or it may be what later generations call high blood pressure.

This brother, General Shuhan, is in line with the Su Wen saying that if the cold is left alone, the blood will coagulate, and coagulation will lead to the symptoms of blocked pulse.

On the contrary, the theory of later generations is very novel. The blood vessels should be called meridians. This theory of capillaries...

Sun Simiao stretched out his hand, looked at the back of his hand and pondered, capillary meridians?

On the other hand, Li Shimin is more concerned about another aspect:

Then this bath...

He didn't want to be unable to move one day and be taken out of the tub by the chamberlains. It was really hard to accept.

Sun Simiao disagreed:

Why do you worry, Your Majesty? Chang'an rarely gets cold in winter, and there will be a charcoal basin for your Majesty's bathing. As long as you don't bathe in hot water or warm your body in cold water, you'll have no worries.

After speaking, Sun Simiao also explained:

And your Majesty also needs to remember that you should avoid anger with your mouth. If it causes liver wind, the head wind disease will become more severe.

As he spoke, Sun Simiao glanced at the ground, where there was a cup thrown by Li Shimin after drinking wine.

Li Shimin made a hahahahaha, it’s a little difficult to avoid food, but avoid anger...

Glancing at the screen, Li Shimin felt that at least it wouldn't happen today.

I have temporarily given up, even if this brother Shu Han is sentenced to death again...

Li Shimin clenched his fists slightly, and he could only praise that he was indeed his good son and grandson.

In the Chengdu government office, Doctor Zhang was also taking notes, thinking intently while writing.

I am both surprised by the medical knowledge of later generations, and also surprised by the theory of stroke in later generations.

Kong Ming, who was next to him, came over and smiled:

Doctor Zhang, when will the Treatise on Febrile Diseases be handed over to me? I hope it will be printed as soon as possible to benefit the world.

Zhang Zhongjing was writing with his right hand, stroking his beard with his left hand and thinking, and at the same time said, It'll be fine soon.

Kong Ming laughed: Last year, the miracle doctor said he was almost healed. At the end of the year, he also said he was almost healed. He said it again now.

Could it be that by looking at the fragments of medical science from later generations, I might gain new insights?

Zhang Zhongjing nodded without hesitation and sighed:

The Picture of the Five Internal Organs already has the feeling of clearing the clouds and seeing the fog. It is more than just a few words?

Kong Ming shook his head and did not urge him. He just watched Zhang Zhongjing write down his thoughts, and there was an idea that he had been thinking about for a long time that kept churning in his mind.

The Nei Jing contains several chapters on the intestines and stomach, meridians, bones, and pulses. These chapters are clearly organized, so it is impossible to describe the human body using magical means.

When Wang Mang dissected the corpses of executed prisoners, he used bamboo strips to guide the veins and measure the five internal organs in order to cure the disease.

Nowadays, we have paper making and printing. If we want to further improve medicine, should we start dissecting the body to identify diseases?

[Ge Shuhan faced Xuanzong's call and resisted even to death.

After all, the heads of Feng and Gao were still hanging on Tongguan City, and he was not stupid.

The two sides went through a lot of pulling and pulling, and finally Yang Guozhong, Ge Shuhan's big benefactor, came to the door in person, and Xiaozhi persuaded him with affection and money.

But Ge Shuhan also had conditions: If you want me to go on an expedition, you can, but I have to make the decision alone about Tongguan.

At that time, there was really no one available in Chang'an, so Xuanzong held his nose and agreed.

But after Ge Shuhan took office, he made a new request to Xuanzong: Your Majesty, I want to kill someone.

Who to kill? An Sishun.

In 746, when Wang Zhongsi concurrently served as the governor of Longyou Town in Hexi Province, Wang Zhongsi promoted An Sishun to be the envoy of the Great Dou Army, and promoted his brother Shuhan to be the deputy envoy of An Sishun.

An Sishun was from the ninth surname of Zhaowu, and he was self-denial and devoted to the public; Ge Shuhan was a Turkic man, and he was indulgent and sensual.

No matter which aspect they looked at, the two of them refused to deal with each other, so the conflict continued for ten years.

After An Lushan rebelled, because An Sishun had always reported this cheap brother, he was spared death and was conscripted into Chang'an.

Ge Shuhan was very dissatisfied, so he told An Sishun directly that he wanted An Sishun to die.

Xuanzong did not dare to say anything at this time, so he arranged for someone to forge a secret letter written by An Sishun to An Lushan, and arranged for a messenger to be captured in Tongguan.

Everyone gets the stolen goods. Ge Shuhan punished Chen An Sishun for his seven crimes. Xuanzong did not hesitate and ordered An Sishun and An Yuanzhen to be put to death, and their families were exiled to Lingnan.

Under such circumstances, Ge Shuhan finally worked conscientiously and assembled the 80,000 Tang troops transferred back from the two towns of Longyou in Hexi Province. Together with the 100,000 imperial troops recruited by Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, they fought against the 100,000 rebels outside Tongguan. The army began a stalemate that lasted for six months.

When An Lushan led the rebels below Tongguan and stared at Ge Shuhan with big eyes, the whole Hebei was in a turmoil.

An Lushan led the army southward at the beginning of the rebellion, and Tang officials in Hebei temporarily surrendered for the sake of one hundred thousand troops.

After An Lushan went far away, he immediately took down An Lushan's flag and put back the Tang Dynasty flag:

The men have revolted!

At its peak, the Hebei Rebel Army reached a size of nearly 200,000 people, and the leader of the anti-Anti-Tang Army they elected is also familiar to all of us:

There was Zhongliang in Hebei, whose name was Yan Zhenqing. 】

It's quite a show.

Li Shimin commented lightly.

Since nothing Xuanzong did was surprising, there seemed to be no need for him to get angry.

After all, what he did before was outrageous enough, and now he is not surprised even if he feeds loyal ministers to hungry wolves.

It is indeed something that this descendant can do.

I just wonder if this descendant ever regretted killing Feng Gao and Feng Gao so easily when he was threatened by Ge Shuhan?

However, Xuanzong is at a loss in advance and retreat, and the prime minister has no virtue or talent. This brother Shu Han's move is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

Li Shimin looked calm and thought about it for a moment before making a fair evaluation.

After all, since this hungry wolf has been fed, it should go and bite the enemy.

If there were no achievements, then Xuanzong, who had already killed three loyal ministers: Feng, Gao and An, would definitely not mind hanging another head on the corner tower of Tongguan.

Shaking his head, Li Shimin had a smile on his face:

The hearts of the righteous people of Hebei are the heart of the Tang Dynasty.
