Chapter 714 Four Divine Doctors
"Alas~"
There was another heavy sigh. This was not the first time that such a sigh had sounded in Cao Cao's ears.
The epidemic that broke out in Runan County spread to every corner within a short period of time through the fleeing people and the criss-crossing rivers.
Now Cao Cao doesn't have to worry about Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Luo Chu and others coming to cause trouble for him.
Because epidemics broke out in the armies of these three families and they were unable to take care of themselves.
But he would rather fight the three families with real guns and swords than live in fear every day like he is now.
People die from the epidemic almost every day. The epidemic never discriminates against people based on their status; it strikes everyone equally.
This is the judgment!
Either you get through it or you die. There is no third option for anyone.
The powerful aristocratic families in Yuzhou, who had once given Cao Cao a headache about how to deal with, died one after another and their families were wiped out due to the epidemic.
This scene did not make Cao Cao happy at all. Instead, he became even more frightened, fearing that the Cao family would follow in their footsteps.
Cao Cao was just thinking about what to do next when Xun Yu suddenly rushed in. He, who was usually calm, said in a rare excited tone, "My lord.
Luo's son Xuan, Zhang Ji, Dong Feng, and Hua Tuo, the four of them have come together, and the epidemic will surely be cured!"
Cao Cao stood up suddenly. Each of these four people was very famous and was a world-renowned medical expert.
He has been practicing medicine all over the world over the years, established a medical organization, and is the leader of doctors in the world.
I didn’t expect that they would appear in Runan together now. They must have come for the big epidemic in Runan.
"Please take your seats, all four of you!"
Cao Cao said excitedly, and ran out without even bothering to put on his shoes, "I will go and greet the four miracle doctors in person."
Outside Cao’s camp, Luo Xuan and the other four all had solemn expressions.
The extent and severity of this pandemic far exceeded their imagination and was much more serious than anything they had encountered before.
As for why the four of them appeared here together, that is a rather long story.
…
After Luo Xuan and Zhang Zhongjing left Zhaocheng, they naturally did not need to make money. The Luo family provided them with what they needed along the way, and they also sent people to protect them.
The two discussed the establishment of a medical association along the way, and then found Dong Feng. Dong Feng was a kind-hearted man, and after hearing about Luo Xuan's plan, he immediately decided to join.
Finally, the three of them found Hua Tuo, who had just extracted Ma Fei San.
The three were shocked by the drug that could make people lose their sense of pain.
Especially Luo Xuan and Zhang Zhongjing, after studying under Luo, the two have already touched upon the scope of surgical operations.
However, it is quite difficult to relieve the pain of patients and prevent them from making mistakes due to endless suffering.
Luo Xuan and Zhang Zhongjing both firmly believed that the Ma Fei San developed by Hua Tuo must be a drug that would change the world of medicine.
But the current effect is not enough and cannot completely block the pain.
Fortunately, Luo has his own method of extracting medicines.
So the four of them conducted research at Hua Tuo's residence for several months and finally produced a drug that was several times more effective in anesthetic effects.
Hua Tuo was a little hesitant about joining the Medical Association. He did like medical skills, but his main purpose was to use his medical skills to enter the official career. He wanted to become an official.
The biggest problem with the Medical Association is that it does not allow people to hold official positions, which makes him hesitant.
But in the end, it was only after Luo Xuan, as the first leader of the Medical Association, said that Hua Tuo could join or leave the Association that he decided to join it and then leave the Association when he had the opportunity to enter officialdom in the future.
Everyone has their own aspirations, and Luo Xuan understands that she cannot use her own ideals to demand others.
As long as Hua Tuo can bring enough benefits to the Medical Association, it will be enough.
This is quite simple. Hua Tuo is a world-famous miracle doctor, and he was born into a scholar family, similar to Zhang Zhongjing and others.
In today's world, there are basically no ordinary people who can master superb medical skills. They all come from wealthy and prestigious families.
With the joining of Dong Feng and Hua Tuo, the Medical Association almost immediately became the most coveted organization for doctors all over the world. Wherever the four went, doctors flocked to join.
In this era where people basically pursue becoming an official, people who are willing to become doctors basically have a compassionate heart.
The purpose of the Medical Association proposed by Luo Xuan seemed idealistic to most people, but it was just what these doctors wanted, and it gave them a sense of responsibility to save the people of the world.
Luo Xuan and others also taught medical skills to many talented doctors.
Luo Xuan also specially planned to train a group of female doctors to treat female patients.
After all, the location of some lesions is not suitable for treatment by male doctors.
Under the professional operation and organizational structure, the Medical Association has flourished, and some epidemics that broke out in the Sanhe area have been dealt with in a timely manner.
Luo Xuan and others had heard that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were fighting, and were preparing to go to Youzhou to fulfill the old Zhaocheng agreement.
As a result, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu started fighting before they even set out, so Luo Xuan immediately decided to go to the closer Yuzhou first.
As for the reason, it is partly due to the proximity, and partly because the Medical Association's regulations clearly stipulate that to prevent post-war plague, one must first prevent areas that are hotter and more humid.
It’s cold in Youzhou.
Even in summer, it is drier than in the Central Plains and the Huaihe River region, and can be dealt with by a fire, so the possibility of an epidemic breaking out is much lower.
The situation is different in Yuzhou and other places.
So Luo Xuan and others led a large number of doctors to Runan County. Even if they had a compassionate heart as a doctor, it was impossible for them to enter the battlefield during the war.
They can still distinguish between saving people and seeking death.
After the war, Runan calmed down a little and order was restored a little. Luo Xuan and others went straight to where Cao Cao's army was.
Hence, several people are waiting outside the door now.
…
Although they were not concerned about politics and military affairs regarding the Runan War, they still understood the situation to some extent.
With Yuan Shu's defeat, it now seems that Yuzhou will return to the imperial court. Cao Cao, the most powerful general in the court, will become one of the most powerful princes in the world.
Of course, the premise is that there is no such pandemic.
Although Luo Xuan's main occupation is a doctor, his political and military skills are quite good.
In this great epidemic, Runan County, which was the worst hit, must have been severely damaged.
Even if they can control the spread and harm of the plague now, considering the population that fled before and the population that Yuan Shu caused trouble for, it is quite reasonable for the population of Runan County to be halved.
The entire Yuzhou has been severely damaged, and the support it can provide to Cao Cao will be greatly reduced, and it is not as strong as imagined.
Cao Cao rushed out of the tent barefoot and saw three middle-aged men, some wearing plain clothes and some wearing Taoist robes, and a gentle and handsome young man with a holy mark engraved on his forehead. Everyone knew his identity.
"Four gentlemen, please accept my respects!"
After Cao Cao ran out, he didn't say anything but just clasped his fists and bowed. He didn't even say his self-proclaimed title. His attitude was extremely humble.
Zhang Zhongjing was so shocked that he hurried to help Cao Cao up. Cao Cao was the highest-ranking official in the world and the chief marshal of the time.
Cao Cao’s title of Grand Marshal was not an empty title. He had soldiers and generals under his command and was one of the most powerful princes in the world.
Cao Cao is the only one in the world who has both face and substance.
Hua Tuo was very excited to see Cao Cao being so polite to him and his men. He quickly helped Cao Cao up and said, "You are really polite, General."
Only Luo Xuan clasped his fists and bowed in return, saying: "Lord Cao, there is no need to be so polite. Our Medical Association has been established to save the people of the world since its establishment.
Now that Runan is hit by a major epidemic, affecting tens of millions of people in various states, it is our duty as doctors to do this!"
Cao Cao was moved and admired when he heard this, and said, "What you said really shocked me.
Is this what the saints mean by "benevolence"?
For the sake of the people of the world, one can risk one's life, not avoid danger, and go deep into dangerous situations. Even the ancient sages would probably only be able to do this.
Please accept my worship again."
As he was about to bow again, Luo Xuan did not stop Cao Cao. He believed that this was what Cao Cao should do. The people of Runan County would be his subjects in the future, so it was only right for him to bow.
After Cao Cao stood up, Luo Xuan said slowly: "Lord Cao, people today are not necessarily inferior to the ancients. You talk about the saints of the ancients, but we only want to be saints of the present.
But not the four of us.
Instead, there were thousands of doctors following behind the four of us, rushing to dangerous places with a compassionate heart.
I grew up in Zhaocheng, and my elders taught me how to read.
King Su said that the heart of a tyrant is to replace the hearts of millions of people with the heart of one person.
The heart of the Holy King is to replace his own heart with the hearts of millions of people.
The so-called heart of a saint is nothing more than seeing the hearts of millions of people, and then using one's own heart to practice the path of the hearts of millions of people.
Now that the four of us are here, it is not just us four who are willing to come here, but thousands and thousands of doctors in the Medical Association all have this wish.
Do you understand, Lord Cao?"
Zhang Zhongjing, Dong Feng, Hua Tuo, and Cao Cao were all confused and didn't understand why Luo Xuan suddenly said such a thing.
These words sound more like advice from a minister to the monarch.
But Luo Xuan's words were very serious, Cao Cao suddenly reacted, nodded and said solemnly: "Cao understands.
Everyone, please."
The rest of the doctors who came with Luo Xuan and the others were arranged by Xun Yu to go and rest.
Luo Xuan and others will start preparing to study what this plague is all about, and then prescribe the right medicine to eradicate the spread of this plague.
However, before studying the plague, Luo Xuan and others, based on the prevention of epidemics in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases, worked out some blocking methods with Xun Yu and others.
As for preventing the disease from spreading everywhere, in today's era, the best way to deal with the disease is prevention and treatment.
The most important thing is to prevent yourself from being infected with the disease. It is difficult to achieve this, but it is not impossible.
