Chapter 183 The prescription for thousands of years in advance

The doctors recruited by Huo Guang had already arrived at Yangshan Pass one after another in two days because Huo Guang was the highest official in the name of the south of the river in the Han Dynasty. He had only drawn doctors from several counties, both the prefect of Yuzhang County and the prime minister of Changsha.

However, what made Huo Guang feel bad was that after communicating with these doctors who arrived one after another, these people had no effective prescription for preventing heat stroke. Most doctors did not even have a complete prescription on their hands. They mostly used one or a few common herbs to treat diseases. It can be said that most of them were still at the stage of treating diseases with their life experience.

Even doctors who have one or two medical prescriptions in their hands regard this as treasure, inherit it in the form of family traditions to ensure their stable and reliable returns. It can even be said that this medical prescription is the foundation of their family establishment. Huo Guang finally knew why medicine was not yet developed in this era, and even the recognized systematic theory has not been basically formed, because it is because of the fact that one's own way of self-confidence and self-realization.

"Your Majesty, this is something that Lu Shu's people sent. It is said that some tribes in the mountains in South Vietnam rely on taking this product to relieve heat." Just when Huo Guang was at a loss with the doctors, Huo Tang was excited to find Huo Guang and showed several plant leaves with jagged edges to Huo Guang.

"What is this?" Huo Guang did not study medicine at all, so he naturally did not know what was in front of him.

"If you go back to the general, this is Huoxiang leaf. There are many such objects in the South Vietnam area. The villain knows that this object has some effect on heat, but in fact it does not have much effect, so it is better than nothing." Among the recruited doctors, a middle-aged doctor from Changsha knew this thing.

"Huoxiang? Yes...Who have you heard of the recipe for Huoxiang Zhengqi San?" The word Huoxiang suddenly reminded Huoguang of the famous Chinese patent medicine Huoxiang Zhengqi Water in later generations. However, one thing Huoguang knew was that the earliest recorded in ancient books was Huoxiang Zhengqi San. As for when it was first recorded, he didn't know.

Huo Guang asked everyone, but everyone shook their heads and said they had never heard of it. Huo Guang also knew that Chinese medicine often requires several or even dozens of medicinal materials to have the best effect. Even if Huoxiang has the effect of removing heat, this one alone is useless, and the specific formula of Huoxiang Zhengqi San is now unknown.

For a moment, this clue seemed to be interrupted again. However, at this moment, Huo Tang, who was standing beside him, suddenly asked, "Huoxiang Zhengqi San? What is Zhengqi San?"

Huo Guang naturally didn't know how to answer Huo Tang. He looked at the middle-aged doctor who had just recognized Huoxiang. When the man saw Huo Guang looking at him, he knew the meaning, so he replied: "This Zhengqi San should not be anything! San means grinding the medicinal materials into powder and flushing and taking it. As for Zhengqi, it is a term for us doctors, which is a concept that fights against the evil qi of the human body. It usually refers to the ability of the human body to repair and regulate and maintain the coordination of the functions of the internal organs and meridians."

"What's your name?" Huo Guang saw that this person was quite insightful in his answer. He was not the kind of person who simply relied on the experience of his ancestors to cure diseases.

"If you go back to the general, Zhang Han, a villain in Changsha." Zhang Han bowed respectfully to Huo Guang, and then he reported his name. This can be regarded as respect for Huo Guang and his due etiquette.

Huo Guang nodded slightly to Zhang Han, then pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think there are drugs that can improve this righteousness? I have an idea. If you use Huoxiang as the main ingredient and supplemented with a medicine that can righteousness, can you make a prescription for Huoxiang Zhengqi San?"

Since there is no ready-made prescription, then make it yourself. This is a bold idea of ​​Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder. Since Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder already knows the main medicine, it is not impossible to combine it. If you can interview the commonly used medicines such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder in advance, it will have positive significance for the entire era and the development of medicine.

"I dare to ask the general, I don't know who the Huoxiang Zhengqi was dispersed. Usually, medical prescriptions are secrets. If we were asked to spy on this prescription rashly, it would be a bit inappropriate..." Zhang Han asked again.

Huo Guang did not expect that the portals of this era would be so serious, but on the other hand, these people respect intellectual property rights quite well. But Huo Guang did not want to hold a portal view on such things that benefit the country and the people, so he used his tried-and-true reason to deceive: "When I was still in Pingyang, didn't I meet an old man in Yiren? At that time, he taught me a lot of things. Originally, Huoxiang Zhengqi San was going to pass on to me, but after mentioning it once, the following text was gone. Later, the old man disappeared, and the matter was left in vain."

"That's true, this prescription belongs to the general, so it's okay for the general to order me to deduce this prescription." Zhang Han nodded, and the other doctors also nodded, expressing their willingness to improve the prescription together.

"Okay, since I have decided, let's start now. Tang Mei ordered that all the medicinal materials be opened to them. The person who tried the medicine should be handed over to the prisoners under Lu Bode. Each combination of Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder will be given to Lu Bode, and the effect of the medicine will be recorded by the military doctor. I don't believe that the real Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder will not be able to try it." Huo Guang hurriedly ordered that even the people who tried the medicine had thought about it. Although it was a bit inhumane and cruel to let those prisoners try the medicine from the perspective of later generations, Huo Guang didn't care about that now. Besides, the death of the medicine was a few people after all, and it would be better than more people who died of heatstroke. Moreover, the medicine tests must be prisoners who have already had heatstroke, which gave them a little chance of survival.

With Huo Guang's guidance, the recruited doctors immediately became busy. Most of them still wrote their prescriptions on their own, but there were also a few people who gathered together, first discussing how to combine medicines, expressing their opinions, and finally finalizing a prescription. Huo Guang nodded slightly when he saw these people. Huo Guang could not eliminate his views on the doorstep. However, these few people were willing to discuss, at least the beginning of cooperation between doctors and things were developing in a good direction.

These doctors wrote the medicine and started to grind the medicine, and then sent it to Lubode by a fast horse flying cavalry. The next step was to wait for the medicine to observe the effect. During this waiting period, those doctors who had collaborated to improve the prescription also began a preliminary exchange of experience with Huo Guang's intentional or unintentional intervention.

"Sister Tang, I will be useful to me in the future. Is there any news about the lobbyist sent to King Cangwu?" Huo Guang said to Huo Tang beside him while handling the military affairs.

At this moment, Huo Tang was also looking at business newspapers, and sometimes commenting on it. When Huo Guang asked, she put down what she had in her hands and wrote down the issue of recording the names of doctors whom Huo Guang had just said to have written down the names of those doctors who were willing to communicate. This was a habit of Huo Tang. She would write down some things she thought were important and needed to do immediately with small notes. After writing this note, she replied to Huo Guang: "Listen to the news from Lu Shu that King Cangwu had just received the envoy sent by Lu Jia a few days ago. King Cangwu is also swaying at present. In order not to backfire, Lu Jia said that he hoped to wait a few more days and he would personally meet King Cangwu at the right time in order to ensure that everything was foolproof."

"Lu Shu has also come to Nanyue? Tell him not to take too much risk. Now his life is much more valuable than King Cangwu." Huo Guang was also a little surprised. He did not expect Lu Shu to come to Nanyue to do this in person. However, although Lu Shu was his secret subordinate, Huo Guang did not want to influence the actions and judgments of these subordinates too much. He believed in Lu Shu's ability and did not doubt the decision he made.

"There are a few other things that need to be told to you." Huo Tang continued. Originally, these things were also told to Huo Guang, but at the beginning, Huo Guang was busy. She felt that there was no need to interrupt Huo Guang's thinking, but now that she had started talking to Huo Guang, she would report them to Huo Guang at one time.

"Talk" Huo Guang said one word very simply.

Huo Tang picked up another piece of paper on his hand, which was all the information he had compiled and reported to Huo Guang. Then he said, "Some of it is our own information, and some are the information of the court. The King of Dongyue wrote a memorial to Your Majesty, saying that he was willing to send 8,000 troops to attack the South Vietnamese army with General Louchuan. Your Majesty has agreed to his request, and our Pingnan Army has also received the order from Chang'an. However, our news shows that before our army went south, the King of Dongyue met with Lu Jia's special envoy and accepted a large number of gold treasures from Lu Jia."

"Well? There is such a thing? I immediately ordered Yang Pu to secretly monitor the army of the King of Dongyue and remain highly vigilant at any time. If there is any abnormal movement, he is allowed to attack the army of the King of Dongyue." Huo Guang also realized that this news was very important. For safety reasons, he not only did not dare to use the army of the King of Dongyue Yushan, but even had to beware of the attack on the East Yue army.

"Continue to talk." Huo Guang knew that Huo Tang was going to say more than this.

"General He Yi came to report that he had gathered prisoners from Bashu and Yelang to cooperate with a total of 30,000 soldiers. Another prefect of Qian was in Qilan and recruited 10,000 troops from Qilan. He will join He Yi's army down the river and heading towards Nanyue." Huo Tang continued.

"Well, let He Yi and Zheng Yantian Jia's army converge at Lishui Pass, nearly 60,000 troops of our Han Dynasty will gather there. At that time, Zhao Guang, the King of Cangwu, will make the final decision. In addition, I am told to ask Lu Bode to speed up the marches again, and those prisoners who really can't do it will give up. Even if those people come, not only will they not be able to enhance our army's strength, but they will become burdens. These tens of thousands of troops are not a small amount!" Huo Guang ordered Lu Bode's prisoner army to speed up. The so-called "not being in charge of the family" does not know the cost of food and grass for firewood, but Huo Guang now knows how amazing the daily food and grass cost of tens of thousands of troops is. Now he is even a little worried about how to continue Lu Bode's tens of thousands of troops arrive.

After becoming the General of Pingnan, Huo Guang realized that as the commander commander, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops, it seemed to be majestic, but in fact it had to bear and face too many things. Just like Huo Guang now, he went south to conquer Nanyue and did not fight a single battle. First of all, he encountered the threat of summer illness. Seeing that this matter was a little evident, several armies were about to arrive at their positions as planned, but the problem of food and grass appeared again. I don’t know how many difficulties they would encounter when they really fought with the South Vietnamese army?
