ps: I originally planned to release it all at once today, but I have to accompany my mom for a full-body check-up today, so I have been coding all day. If I'm able to finish coding five chapters, I'll release them all, if not, this is the best I can do for now. My mom's health is fine, it's just a regular annual check-up.
Translation:
pps: Last time Bai Ye Lize rewarded 6000 starting point coins, adding three more chapters; then this month there will be six monthly tickets for starting points, with an additional chapter for every five tickets, adding one more chapter. So, in total, we owe you four more chapters. Thank you for the translation.
ppps: The following chapters may seem a bit scattered, a bit disjointed. Once I have completed this part of the content, you shouldn't feel it's lacking coherence anymore.

Ten days after leaving Fu, Liu Fu personally visited Xun Yu's home. However, the dark clouds over the city of Xuchang seemed to be getting bigger, casting a shadow over the entire city.
At dusk, the common folk who had been working outside all day gradually returned to the city and started cooking their meals.
Standing on the high terrace of the palace, one can see countless lights shining in the city.
After nightfall, the four gates of Xudu City are closed one after another. By the time it reaches the second watch, the streets inside the city become deserted, with only patrol officials passing by, and no other citizens will be seen. Translated:
The usual curfew within the city serves two purposes: preventing theft and enforcing compliance with designated hours.
If someone is found walking on the streets during this time, they will be considered a robber and even if they are not, they will be apprehended by the authorities and subjected to a punishment.
应时则是顺应“日出而作日落而息”的作息时间，百姓睡得踏实，第二天才能有精力，下田耕作。
夜风徐徐，吹过城头，消去白天的炎热，令人倍觉凉爽轻快。
Xudu City North Gate
Zhang Chao, wearing armor, is patrolling the city wall. During wartime, his elder brother Zhang Mao serves as the commander of the Imperial Guards, responsible for daytime patrols; as the commander of the city gate, Zhang Chao is in charge of nighttime patrols.
Although the current Chang'an City is calm and peaceful, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao continue to fulfill their duties diligently. They patrol the city walls several times a day to ensure preparedness for any unforeseen circumstances.
Cao Cao trusts them as friends and has entrusted them with such important responsibilities. He even entrusted his family and children to Zhang Miao before going into battle. Naturally, they want to do their best to repay the trust given to them by Cao Cao.
The rank of Zhijinwu is 2,000 shi, with two Cheng and Hou, Sima, and Qianren. The subordinate officials include Zhonglei, Sihu, Wuku, and Du Chuan's four Ling, Cheng. There are also Shidao, Zuoyou Zhonghou, and Jinfu County Commanders, who are also related to Zhijinwu. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, only one Wuku was retained as a subordinate official of Zhijinwu, and the rest were all reduced. Its main responsibilities were to manage and guard the forbidden army, as well as to ensure the security of the capital and the palace. Zhijinwu had to patrol around the palace three times a month to prevent and control disasters and other emergencies from outside the palace. Translated content:
However, in order to ensure his complete control over the city of Xudu, Cao Cao reinstated the remaining subordinate officials of the Shijinwu. He gave Zhang Miao a retinue of two hundred people and a contingent of five hundred and twenty people armed with halberds. Translated content: "
The City Gate Colonel was initially established during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and became an indispensable military force in the Han Dynasty. They were responsible for guarding the city gates of the capital. Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty followed this practice. The City Gate Colonel, the Consul of the Golden Horse, and the Chief of the Northern Army were mutually constraining and not under each other's command. Together, they formed the City Guard Army in the central guard system of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
When Cao Cao moved the emperor to Xuchang, he did not increase the number of city gates in Xuchang. The city still had four gates, unlike Luoyang, which had over ten gates.
The number of city gates can certainly facilitate the people's entry and exit, and also contribute to the development of Xudu. However, the location of Xudu is somewhat awkward.
Although it is the intersection of various roads, which is beneficial to urban development, it is very close to Liu Biao and Yuan Shao's territories. The more city gates there are, the more vulnerabilities there are in the city, and the difficulty of defense also increases. Therefore, Cao Cao did not increase the number of city gates in Xudu, but he put a lot of effort into reinforcing them.
When Zhang Chao arrived at the north gate, suddenly, he clutched his stomach and fell to the ground, covered in cold sweat, his face turning pale.
"General! General! What's wrong with you!" Zhang Chao's bodyguard quickly bent down and asked about Zhang Chao's condition.
Zhang Chao opened his mouth wide, unable to speak for a moment due to the pain, pointing to his abdomen.
Zhang Chao's commotion attracted the attention of Yu Zhong, the sergeant at the north gate of the city, who quickly came down to check on Zhang Chao's condition, looking anxious and concerned.
"Are you all blind? Hurry up and call for a physician!" Yu Zhong exclaimed anxiously.
The nearby soldiers then realized the situation and went to fetch the physician.
However, within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a cavalryman arrived carrying an elderly man.
After being helped down from the horse by the soldier, the old man took a few breaths and, urged by Yu Zhong, began to feel Zhang Chao's pulse.
The old man furrowed his brow and took out some silver needles from a package around his waist. He borrowed a torch from Yu Zhong. After heating the silver needles over the fire for a while, he instructed someone to remove Zhang Chao's armor and clothing, and then pricked him with a few needles on his body.
Zhang Chao's pain quickly eased, and his complexion improved significantly.
The general asked, "Did you eat anything before the pain started today?"
Zhang Chao recalled and answered, "The Magistrate of Guangling, Chen Deng, and I have a good relationship. He gave me a lot of Hundred-leg Crabs. My family and I ate seven or eight of them tonight."
Yuan Zhong and others were completely confused by this conversation. Is the centipede crab a silly thing? A millipede?
But this old man seemed to be knowledgeable and knew what a centipede crab was.
The centipede crab is what we commonly call a crab. The earliest recorded person who ate crabs was Guo Xian during the Eastern Han Dynasty. He wrote the "Han Wu Dong Ming Ji" and in Volume Three, it is recorded: "The country of Shanyuan once offered a crab, nine feet long, with a hundred legs and four pincers, thus called the centipede crab. Boiling its shell yielded a better glue than yellow glue, also known as pincer glue, surpassing the glue of the phoenix beak."
Many people still don't understand what's so delicious about the centipede crab. It has little meat, and it's easy to get injured while catching it. They're even more afraid to eat such a creature.
"There should be more than just the centipede crab. What else did the general eat?"
"I ate two bowls of rice. Oh, and before that, I had two oranges as an appetizer. Does that count?"
"That's right. Earlier, I examined the general's pulse and found that there was a lot of cold air in his body. So, I used silver needles to extract a considerable amount of cold air. Oranges have a cold nature, so they should not be consumed together. Otherwise, it will cause a surge of cold air in the body, resulting in severe abdominal pain. The general should be careful not to make this mistake again in the future." The old man stroked his long beard, "Aconite, dried ginger, cinnamon, Chinese pepper, fennel, galangal, cloves, biota, and solanum melongena. Grind these few medicinal ingredients in equal proportions, then soak them in hot water and drink it. After a few days, you will be healed."
Zhang Chao suddenly realized and bowed to the old man, saying, "Thank you very much, doctor."
Zhang Chao's bodyguard handed the old man several coins. The old man took the money, removed the silver needle, tidied up his belongings, and then left.
Yuan Zhong then had someone send Zhang Chao back to his mansion, gazing at the city gate before him with a complicated expression.
