"We have entered the territory of Yan State and need to capture Luoxia Pass as quickly as possible."
"This way, the injured soldiers can rest well in the city."
Zhu Danxi nodded slightly.
Time flies and he grows old.
The wrinkles on his face became more and more, like the lines on the bark of a dead tree.
His walking posture is not as agile as before.
And a little hunchbacked.
After walking for a distance, I was a little out of breath.
Even coughing sometimes.
This made Cao Cao very concerned about his physical condition.
"I heard that Doctor Zhu has been very tired recently and needs to rest well."
"Leave the task of curing illnesses and saving lives to the subordinates. You shouldn't have come on this expedition."
"If you want to leave, I will arrange for you to leave immediately and recuperate in the rear."
The Qin Dynasty has had a tradition since ancient times, which is to support the elderly.
Especially the treatment received by the elderly who have made contributions to the country is even more enviable.
For example, Cai Jing back then.
Although he was praised as Wenzong by the Qin State, he offended many people in his life.
Especially when he decided to pledge allegiance to Ying Yuan, some nobles had already regarded him as a thorn in their eyes.
Even in the later years of his administration, he offended Qin Hui because he suggested that Cao Cao be appointed as prime minister.
After stepping down as prime minister, although he was still under the care of the royal family, he had lost his power after all.
It is okay for people like Qin Hui to make things difficult for Cai Jing.
However, they did not do so, and even in the last two years of Cai Jing's life, they showed more respect for him.
Of course, Cao Cao was no exception when it came to his treatment of Zhu Danxi.
"Prime Minister, do you know why I decided to join the army this time?"
Zhu Danxi asked.
Cao Cao frowned and said, "Tell me about it."
Zhu Danxi smiled and said, "That's because I know my time is up."
"I am deeply grateful to Your Majesty for his grace, and I have no way to repay him. However, Your Majesty is a cavalry emperor, and when you go to war, you will inevitably fight in the battlefield."
"If Your Majesty is in danger of death like he was at Hangu Pass, I, an old man, can at least be of some use."
After hearing this, Cao Cao was obviously stunned.
I was immediately touched.
It turned out that the other party came here with this plan.
Hearing the word "deadline", Cao Cao finally understood why such a good doctor like Zhu Danxi did not take care of his body.
This is because the source of energy has been exhausted, the qi and blood have been depleted, and there is no place to recuperate.
However, even so, Zhu Danxi still came.
For Ying Yuan.
After Zhu Danxi finished speaking, he returned to the tent to rest.
Cao Cao stared at his departing figure and sighed:
"Even you are old."
Thinking back to those days, we served the great Qin Dynasty forever.
Zhu Danxi went deep into the enemy camp and poisoned Xiang Yan to death. How heroic he was.
However, heroes will eventually become old.
It's sad and lamentable.
