Chapter 149: Recovering from illness.

ps: Some of the medical knowledge about malaria in the previous chapters is obtained from books and the internet. Although I have consulted many books, it may not be entirely accurate, so please do not consider it as a reference. These ideas were conceived on a whim, but personally, I feel they provide a good connection between the encounters of Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo, as well as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. It also serves as a response to those who previously criticized me for not mentioning the care provided by figures like Cao Zhen, Cao Xu, and Xiahou Shang, who, unlike Sun Ce, did not enter the quarantine camp to take care of Guo Jia.

Then, the plot about the epidemic will quickly come to an end, and the Battle of Xuzhou will also reach its climax. After that, besides recuperating and briefly mentioning the struggles between other warlords, the next major event will be the war between Cao and Yuan.

————————————————————————————————————

Zhou Yu, who was sent to the isolation camp, immediately tackled Sun Ce as soon as he saw him. He then pinned him down on the ground.

One punch!

Two punches!

Three punches!

Zhou Yu's fists ruthlessly landed on Sun Ce's face, showing no mercy. Rather than retaliating, Sun Ce just smiled foolishly. Caoren, Cao Xiu, and Xiahou Shang, who were watching on the side, were dumbfounded. Could it be that Sun Ce had been beaten senseless? How could he smile while being punched? Moreover, someone was actually able to beat Sun Ce without any resistance? However, if it weren't for Guo Jia stopping them, based on their close relationship with Sun Ce, the three of them would have already gone up and given Zhou Yu a good beating, regardless of whether he was a pretty boy or not. Who cares if he doesn't have Sun Ce's charm?

When Guo Jia saw Zhou Yu, he had a suspicion in his mind. Only someone as fierce as him could beat Sun Ce so severely, and Guo Jia guessed it was probably Zhou Yu. However, Guo Jia did not expect Zhou Yu to actually be here, and he even came with Hua Tuo.

The meeting between Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo can be described as lively and bustling, with drums and firecrackers, red flags waving, and a sea of people. Well, among the sixteen words mentioned above, "a sea of people" is indeed true. Isn't it? It's just that the quarantine camp with over ten thousand people is not exactly a sea of people.

说实话,郭嘉真想不到华佗也会来到这个地方,难道真的是天无绝人之路?

华佗更擅长外科和针灸,张仲景更擅长药石医理,二人的合作倒是相得益彰。张仲景用黄花蒿治愈感染士卒的病情,张仲景则通过针灸加强黄花蒿的治疗效果,同时通过针灸调理他们的身体,隔离营的士兵们的病情都在往好的方面发展。尤其是郭嘉,本来一副骨瘦如柴的模样,如今面色已经渐渐红润,身体也不再是那一副饿死鬼一般的模样了。

Next, within the camp, Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo directed the imperial physicians and soldiers without symptoms to set up hundreds of large iron pots. Each person was responsible for overseeing one pot. After boiling the water, various medicines were added. Translated:

川芎、白芷、麻黄、白芍、防风、荆芥、紫苏、羌活、甘草。。。。。。共计数十味之多呢,皆是驱邪扶正、清热解毒的良药,每人再来一碗绞出的黄花蒿汁液。染病将士们,也都自觉的排好队伍,在汤药熬好之后、依次喝了两大碗,不少人怕浪费了汤药,就连碗底都舔的干干净净。至于那些病情严重,无法自己取药的将士,则由太医们一个一个进帐喂药,确保一个人不落下,一口汤药不剩下。

————————————————————————————————————

Half a month later, all the soldiers in the quarantine camp have fully recovered, but they still feel somewhat weakened. After recovering from a serious illness, their bodies need to be replenished. Hua Tuo taught his self-created moxibustion method to many physicians in the Imperial Medical Office and instructed them to perform acupuncture on all recovered soldiers every three days to restore their vitality. Please note that "@" is used as a variation of ellipsis in this text, so it does not have a specific meaning or translation in this context.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the essential energy in the human body is known as zhenqi, zhongqi, and jingqi, and it is further divided into stomach qi, liver qi, heart qi, kidney qi, and so on. Zhenqi is the proper name, while yuanqi and zhenqi are alternative names or nicknames. Zhengqi indicates the function of zhenqi in resisting pathogenic factors, while zhongqi is actually a part of zhenqi, referring to the qi of the spleen and stomach, or the qi of the middle jiao. In fact, zhongqi, along with liver qi, heart qi, and kidney qi, are all parts of zhenqi. Since zhenqi is the fundamental driving force of life, it fills the five zang organs, the six fu organs, the limbs, muscles, meridians, and skin pores, making it the source of power for the functions of various organs and tissues.

Without vitality, a person's life comes to a halt. Although "qi" has various meanings, we usually refer to "yuanqi" when talking about vitality. "Yuanqi" is the foundation of life and the driving force behind it. Whether one's vitality is abundant or not determines their health and lifespan. Sufficient vitality leads to good health, while compromised vitality leads to illness, and depleted vitality leads to death. The rise and fall of vitality determine the aspects of life such as birth, aging, illness, and death. For those with depleted vitality, it is necessary to replenish it. The so-called replenishing of vitality is about balancing the yin and yang of vitality. Yin and yang balance is essential for vitality. Insufficient yin leads to yin deficiency, and insufficient yang leads to yang deficiency. Yin and yang balance is the basis of healthy vitality. Balancing yin and yang requires moderation, as excessive measures can lead to illness. The greatest effectiveness of the declaration of life lies in replenishing vitality and regulating the balance of yin and yang. It is neither about replenishing yin nor replenishing yang but focuses on naturally adjusting the balance of yin and yang based on replenishing vitality. Therefore, one can replenish vitality for an extended period, treating diseases when they occur and nurturing health in the absence of illnesses, thus promoting longevity. Please note that the translation might not accurately convey the philosophical or cultural nuances present in the original text.

However, if there is a battle, apart from those soldiers who were severely ill at the beginning, the current Cao army should have no problem taking up weapons against the enemy. At most, their combat strength might be slightly impaired, but it would be sufficient to deal with the Xuzhou army.

Cao Jun deliberately demonstrated to the military officials in Xuzhou the situation where the problem of "adjustment to the local environment" had been effectively resolved. The soldiers of Cao Jun were all happily smiling. If it weren't for many soldiers still recovering from serious illnesses and being physically weak, Cao Cao would have held a banquet directly to celebrate the recovery of all the soldiers.

However, it's no harm to postpone the banquet. The soldiers of the Cao army are all holding a grudge in their hearts, determined to give a good beating to those damn soldiers from Xuzhou! Although the epidemic was not spread by them, the soldiers of the Cao army inexplicably directed their anger towards them. Of course, there are also deliberate provocations from the Mingjing Hall among them.

If it weren't for dealing with you people from the Xuzhou army, why would we have stayed here for so long and coincidentally encountered a plague?

This is also a normal human mentality, always needing to find someone to blame for unwarranted calamities. It's impossible to make Cao Cao or Guo Jia take the blame, right? So, who can we make the scapegoat? Obviously, the Xuzhou army is a perfect punching bag and scapegoat.

Two days later, at night, the breakout operation of the Xuzhou army also began.

Alright, soldiers, charge!
