Chapter 2884: The first step in forcing Cao Ren to surrender, trapping him in the isolated city and collapsing his ambitions
The problem Kong Xuan is facing now is actually far more complicated than Zhang Zhongjing said.
Li Cunxiao was able to withstand Lu Yue's poison because he was on guard from the beginning to the end, and he could suppress it by using his skills, or even refine the five poison seals.
Kong Xuan was in a hurry to escape and failed to suppress the toxins in time, causing the toxins to invade his internal organs. This situation was much more serious than Li Cunxiao's.
If this were the case, then it would not be a big problem for Kong Xuan. After all, if it is poisonous, then just clean it up.
As a great master, it is not difficult for Kong Xuan to use Qigong to remove toxins from his organs. But what is difficult is that due to his indulgence, the toxins on his back shoulders have penetrated deep into the bone marrow, becoming the source of the toxins in Kong Xuan's body.
If Kong Xuan wants to completely cleanse the toxins, he must first remove the source of the toxins, but the toxins on his back shoulders have already stained the bones, and it can no longer be removed by relying on his own skills and drug treatment.
When Zhang Zhongjing said that he needed to scrape the bones to cure the disease, Kong Xuandu had no reaction, but Yun Xiao, Fu Youde and others on the side were shocked.
Scraping bones, take a knife and scrape on your bones. Just thinking about it makes people's scalp numb.
Fu Youde said with lingering fear: "Fortunately there is Ma Bo scattered around, otherwise this would be so painful."
The reason why Kong Xuan was not afraid was because of Ma Fei San. Although he didn't care about the physical pain, he didn't want to go through the bone-scratching pain in vain. After using Hua Tuo's Ma Fei San, his body would fall into paralysis. , automatically shields the pain, and he will not feel any pain at that time, so naturally he will not be afraid.
But what Kong Xuan didn't expect was that after listening to Fu Youde's words, Zhang Zhongjing said: "Kong Xuan's surgery cannot be performed with anesthesia powder. The poison he was poisoned contains ingredients of Qixing Begonia. Once anesthesia powder is used, the toxin will be aggravated." "
Hearing this, Kong Xuan was completely dumbfounded, and Fu Youde stuttered: "Miracle doctor, do you know that General Kong Xuan can't take medicine and can only bear the pain of scraping his bones?"
“That’s right.”
“What’s the difference between this and Lingchi…”
Before Fu Youde could finish his words, he saw Kong Xuanzheng looking at him with a cold expression on his face, and he was immediately too frightened to speak any more.
Kong Xuan was very irritable now. He didn't know what it meant to scrape the bones without medicine, but in order to recover quickly, he could only endure it, and comforted himself in his heart that it was nothing, and it would be over if he endured it, but this guy Fu Youde reminded him repeatedly He was in so much pain that he even said such words to Ling Chi. Didn't he mean to scare himself?
“It’s just scraping the bone, so there’s no need to anesthetize the patient. Doctor Zhang, I’m ready and can perform the operation at any time.”
Kong Xuan pretended to be indifferent and said, but the tight muscles all over his body still exposed his inner nervousness. However, outsiders obviously did not know this, and they all admired him for being so calm and calm in the face of bone scraping.
Zhang Zhongjing could naturally tell at a glance that Kong Xuan was holding on, but he didn't expose it and said, "Okay, we'll do it in half an hour." Then he went to prepare the props needed for the operation.
Half an hour later, Kong Xuan’s bone curettage surgery also started as scheduled.
The founder of surgery was naturally Hua Tuo. No one in the world was better at operating on people than Hua Tuo. He could even reattach an arm to the broken arm of Bu Jingyun, as well as the limbs of anyone who matched them. Make an exchange.
Although Hua Tuo is the founder, it does not mean that he is the only one who knows it. As the current leader of the medical family, Zhang Zhongjing, although his surgical skills are inferior to Hua Tuo, he is definitely among the top three in the world.
Zhang Zhongjing used a sharp and thin dagger as a scalpel to first cut off the rotten flesh from the wound on Kong Xuan's back, and then dug deep into the shoulder blade. While digging, he wiped away the blood, and at the same time, he also wanted to prevent the poisonous blood from corroding the flesh.
Zhang Zhongjing was preoccupied with three things, and the entire operation process was very slow. It was also painful. Kong Xuan's lips turned white, blue veins popped out, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. However, for the sake of face, he still suppressed his silence.
An hour after the operation, Zhang Zhongjing finally dug out the source of the poison on Kong Xuan's posterior shoulder blade without damaging Kong Xuan's muscles and bones, and exposed the white bones to the air. However, Kong Xuan's shoulder blade had been stained black at this time. .
"coming soon."
After Zhang Zhongjing reminded Kong Xuan, he handed Kong Xuan a piece of wood and motioned for him to bite it to relieve the pain.
Kong Xuan was in so much pain that he didn't want to speak, but for the sake of face, he still pretended to be calm and calm. He wanted to take the wood, but when he thought that he had endured it so far, biting the wood now was not a sign of his Are you holding on, so you decisively choose to refuse.
Seeing Kong Xuan's refusal, Zhang Zhongjing did not force himself and continued to operate on him.
“Yimu’s everlasting green power.”
As Zhang Zhongjing drank, the green inner energy condensed on his body, and then the scalpel in his hand also glowed green, and then slowly scraped on Kong Xuan's shoulder blade.
…
Kong Xuan's endurance was as strong as that of Kong Xuan. Faced with the pain that was as painful as Ling Chi's, he couldn't help but gasp. He almost couldn't maintain his image, but his strong self-esteem still allowed him to resist, and in He cursed in his heart: "Shen Gongbao, just wait for me."
Shen Gongbao's poisonous arrow caused Kong Xuan to suffer so much. After he recovered from his injury, he would definitely find an opportunity to take revenge.
The process of scraping the bones was so painful. The heart-wrenching pain could not be described in words. Kong Xuan was so painful that he almost felt like he was about to leave his body. He regretted not taking the piece of wood now, but It's too late to say anything now. In order to relieve the pain, Kong Xuan thought of a way to distract himself, but it was too painful. The more he tried to distract himself, the more concentrated he became, so he simply calmed down and concentrated on feeling Zhang Zhongjing Yimu Changqing. The internal strength distribution characteristics of gong, and Zhang Zhongjing’s route of transporting gong.
Hua Tuo's "Qing Sang Jing" was created by himself, and part of it came from Yimu Changqing Gong, so Yimu Changqing Gong is one of the inherited exercises among doctors.
Just by looking at the name, you can tell that the Yimu Changqing Kung Fu is a wood-type technique, and Kong Xuan himself also practiced wood-type techniques, so under the close-range perception, he really discovered a lot of secrets.
“It’s a pity that there are no skills and formulas, otherwise my wood skills will be further improved, but this opportunity is very rare.”
Kong Xuan thought greedily in his heart. He didn't even notice that when he stole the Yimu Evergreen Kung Fu, the pain he felt was more than ten times weaker than before.
Zhang Zhongjing, who was concentrating on the operation, probably would not have thought that he had good intentions to detoxify Kong Xuan, but while Kong Xuan was suffering from the pain of scraping his bones, he still had the leisure to steal from him. This **** is unbelievable.
Half an hour later, Zhang Zhongjing carefully scraped off the toxins on the surface of Kong Xuan's shoulder blade with a scalpel, and then began the final step of the operation, sucking out the toxins from the bone marrow.
When we reach this stage, what matters is not the level of surgery, but Zhang Zhongjing’s skill. After all, no matter how high his level of surgery is, it is impossible to insert the scalpel into Kong Xuan’s bone marrow.
“This is the last step, just be patient.”
After speaking, Zhang Zhongjing put his index and middle fingers together and whispered: "Muling finger." Then he pointed on Kong Xuan's bones.
As the air flow around Zhang Zhongjing's body surged, the green internal force was transferred into Kong Xuan's body through his right hand. Then only the toxins in Kong Xuan's bone marrow were inhaled into the body bit by bit by Zhang Zhongjing, and then were absorbed from the little finger of his left hand. Drain and drip into the basin little by little.
An hour later, the toxins in Kong Xuan’s bone marrow were finally completely removed by Zhang Zhongjing, and the water basin was already completely black.
After the three-hour operation, Zhang Zhongjing acted like a normal person. He simply adjusted his breathing and then told Kong Xuan how to clear away the remaining toxins. However, Kong Xuan looked like he was still unfinished. After all, after the operation, he would not be able to steal the lesson. .
"The toxins in the bone marrow have been basically eliminated. Now the remaining toxins in your body no longer pose a threat to you. You only need to take medicine for treatment, and the remaining toxins can be completely eliminated within half a year. However, bone scraping will cause a greater trauma to you. Even if the remaining toxins are It is recommended that you wait for more than half a year to fully recover.”
Hearing Zhang Zhongjing’s words, Kong Xuan was naturally overjoyed. After all, such a serious injury could be recovered in just one year, which was already very fast.
And during the year of recuperation, Kong Xuan is not unable to do anything. He can still practice and use this year to understand the techniques. By then, his strength will be further enhanced.
【Ding dong, Kong Xuanda achieved the achievement ‘Scraping Bones and Healing Poison’, the reward...】
Hong Xuan was basically fine after being treated by Zhang Zhongjing. He only needed to recuperate from his injuries. At this time, Bai Qi launched his final clarion call to Cao Ren.
Dingtao was captured by the Qin army. The retreat of Chen Liu's 100,000 Cao army was cut off, and it was completely turned into a lone army. The Qin army could capture it at any time if it wanted, but in order to minimize casualties, Ying Hao decided to force the surrender. Cao Ren's 100,000 Cao army, so Bai Qi, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun led the army to encroach on the cities around Chenliu.
In fact, the Qin army does not need to attack these cities. As long as Cao Ren's 100,000 Cao troops are eliminated, these cities can be settled with just an edict.
However, in order to create pressure on the Cao army led by Cao Ren on a psychological level, Bai Qi chose to attack the cities one by one, thus reducing Chen Liu's Cao army to a lone army and eventually gradually disintegrating its will to fight.
Facing the Qin army's attacks in all directions, his own space for movement was compressed step by step. Cao Ren knew clearly that Bai Qi was cutting his flesh with a blunt knife, but he had no choice, because there was no point in going out to rescue the city, and he would die even more. quick.
Under the attack of more than 200,000 troops from Bai Qi, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun, Yongqiu, Weishi, Fugou, Yuxian, Xiangyi, Jiwu, Kaocheng, Waihuang, Jiyang, Donghun, Xiaohuang, and Jun The sixteen counties of Yi, Fengqiu, Pingqiu, Changyuan and Suanzao were all defeated by the Qin army after only holding on for three days.
So far, among the seventeen counties of Chenliu County, only Chenliu, the seat of government, was still in the hands of Cao Jun. Among the four counties in the west of Yanzhou, Chenliu was the only one left. Cao Ren's 100,000 Cao Jun troops were completely trapped in the poor Chenliu City.
Of the sixteen counties that Chen Liu controlled, ten took the initiative to open their cities and surrender, and there was not much resistance at all.
Among them, Yongqiu, Suanzao, and Fengqiu were important grain-gathering areas for Cao's army. The grain and grass seized in these three cities alone amounted to one million dan, which could barely solve the Qin army's problem of insufficient grain and grass supply.
As for the stubborn defenders of the six counties, they could not hold out for long under the attack of Bai Qi, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun. After the city was broken, they would naturally end up dead, thus frightening other people who opposed Da Qin.
After taking the sixteen counties of Chenliu, the armies of Bai Qi, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun also completed their rendezvous under Chenliu City. After discussion, the three decided to pay tribute first and then attack, so they sent a county magistrate who had just surrendered as an envoy to enter Chenliu to attack the defenders in the city. To persuade to surrender.
Bai Qi's price was naturally not low, but he knew that Cao Ren would definitely not agree, so the purpose of his move was just to test and see if Cao Ren's control over Cao Jun was strong enough.
Bai Qi was already prepared for the envoy to be beheaded, and the envoy was also mentally prepared to die, but he did not expect that the envoy came back alive.
Bai Qi was also surprised by this, so he asked: "Tell me, what happened after you entered the city?"
"Yes, Grand Governor, after his subordinates entered the city and before they expressed their intention to come, Cao Ren wanted to kill his subordinates to sacrifice the flag to show his intentions. However, he was opposed by his generals, so Cao Ren did not kill his subordinates."
"hehe…"
A smile appeared at the corner of Bai Qi's mouth. Just as he thought, Cao Ren's army began to become unstable. It seemed that this plan to force Cao Ren to surrender would go more smoothly than expected.
