A small carriage stopped in front of the tent. The soldiers rushed up and carefully carried one person in the tent, then carried it into the tent, carefully placed it on the couch. The military doctor who had been waiting for a long time immediately stepped forward to take his pulse.

Yuchi Dun was covered with a thick blanket, his body was trembling slightly, his face turned red, his lips were white, and his forehead was hot, and he was already a little confused.

Cui Zishu and several generals were sitting restless, watching the military doctor take the pulse and the doctors boil medicine. They wanted to help but were afraid that the more they helped, the Prime Minister was suffering from a cold. This disease could be big or small. If the condition worsened, it would be bad.

The prime minister personally led his troops south to deal with the enemy troops attacking Song Ping. The reason for this was that the King Yuwen of Xiyang, who was guarding Xuanhu, was very likely to escape from the city and fled to the southern Guangzhou Prefecture Zhiguang City. Yuchi Dun tried to annihilate the enemy troops in Chai Village, but was defeated.

Nearly 20,000 cavalry troops besieged and defended the small village. The enemy troops with a force of barely more than 10,000 will be defeated. Cui Zishu couldn't believe his eyes when he received the battle report, but what worried him was that the prime minister fell ill because he caught a cold in the water.

In the evening of that day, the official army was defeated, and the enemy cavalry chased Yuchi Dun and chased him until late at night. Yuchi Dun and his party finally got rid of the pursuers and intended to go north across the Huai River and enter Songping, but they had an affair at the guard camp on the southern bank of the Huai River.

In the chaos, the Huanglong soldiers who were accompanying him covered Yuchi Dun and rode his horse across the river. As a result, Yuchi Dun fell into the river, soaked all over. When he continued to ride his horse across the river, he fell ill that night.

As the saying goes, the illness comes like a mountain falling down. Yuchi Dun's forehead is hot and he is so hot that he keeps talking nonsense and is unconscious. There is no good doctor in Songping City, so the guards dare not be careless. They quickly sent troops to escort Yuchi Dun back to the camp outside Xuanhu.

As for the defeated soldiers in the Battle of Chai Village, they could only be gathered by other generals. The approximate casualties are now: at least 8,000 casualties.

Almost half of the casualties were killed and the battle was defeated very badly, but for the generals in the camp, the Prime Minister's condition was even more worrying, because the Prime Minister not only suffered from wind and cold, but also choked a lot of water because he fell into the river. If he was unlucky, he would suffer from tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis was later called tuberculosis, a modern disease of tuberculosis. In this era, the name was tuberculosis or pulmonary fatigue. It was a terminal illness that could not be cured. After the patient became infected, he would cough continuously, his body became thinner and eventually he would cough up blood and die of death.

Yuchi Dun fell into the river during the cold weather and was stimulated by the cold river water. Later, he was rescued. His whole body was wet and blew by the cold wind. The wind and cold were light. If he had tuberculosis, he would be finished.

As the confidant of Yuchi Dun, Cui Zishu knew some inside stories about the Yuchi family. Originally, the position of Prince of Shu should have been the Duke of Yuchi Shun of the Kingdom of Shu, but the King of Shu considered it from many ways and appointed Silang Yuchi Dun as the prince.

This decision caused a lot of criticism, but Yuchi Dun led troops outside for many years in the past, and had a prestige, which could barely suppress doubts from all parties. Therefore, since the throne of Shu, the power of the Prime Minister's Office has been smoothly handed over.

However, the calmness on the surface does not mean that there is no undercurrent in secret. Yuchi Shun, Duke of the Kingdom of China, has a high reputation in the family and has many supporters. The brothers Yuchi Qin and Yuchi Jing are obviously biased towards him.

If Yuchi Dun is here, even if the two brothers Yuchi Qin and Yuchi Jing have any objections, they can only complain in person and ask for more power to Yuchi Shun. What should I do if Yuchi Dun has a good or bad situation?

Cui Zishu knew that once Yuchi Dun had a short and empty Shu throne, Shu Taifu Wang would never let Yuchi Shun sit there. Even if this is the most natural thing, Shu Taifu would not agree to the best choice for Yuchi.

The Shu Concubine would inevitably let Yuchi Dun's son succeed to the throne, give Yuchi Shun a noble and noble throne, called "assisting nephew", and give real power to Yuchi Youqi, and even let Yuchi Youqi succeed to the throne. This practice would only intensify the conflict.

This irrational choice, based on Cui Zishu's understanding of Wang, knowing that this extremely biased concubine Shu is very likely to make it.

By that time, there will inevitably be internal strife in the Yuchi family. Just like the Erzhu family back then, when Erzhu Rong, who was the one who said that he was the one who died, the Zhuerzhu family would only have internal strife and be taken advantage of by outsiders, and everything was over.

Looking at the unconscious Yuchi Dun, Cui Zishu was anxious. This time, the young new king was in charge of the army. In order to prevent the unexpected, the imperial physician was accompanying him, and the medical skills of the military doctor were also very good, so Cui Zishu placed all his hopes on the military doctor.

The military doctor who finished taking the pulse took out a thin stick from the basket, which seemed to be made of glass, then lifted up the bedding covered by Yuchi Dun, and then took off his clothes.

Cui Zishu felt that this move was inexplicable. He wanted to ask but was afraid of disturbing the other party, so he could only exchange glances with other generals and continued to watch patiently. The military doctor put the thin stick into Yuchi Dun's armpit and took out a pocket watch to look.

Pocket watches, small things produced in Xiyang, Huangzhou, can be used to see the time. Cui Zishu has seen them, but he doesn’t think it has any practical significance. Ordinary civilians cannot use them, nor can they afford them. The gentry, cold people, and powerful people can afford them, but they are useless and are easy to break.

I don't know how long it took, the military doctor looked at the time, then picked up the thin stick sandwiched under Yuchi Dun's armpit, looked at Guang, asked the doctor to put the thin stick away, and then took out a cup from the basket.

The military doctor untied Yuchi Dun's clothes, exposed his chest, then placed the cup on it, pressing one end against his chest, and he put his ear on the other end, as if he was listening to something.

After a while, the military doctor packed up the utensils and asked the doctor to bring gauze soaked in ice water and put it on Yuchi Dun's forehead. He walked towards Cui Zishu and others who were guarding the side.

"How? How is the Prime Minister's condition?"

"The Prime Minister suffered from a cold wind and the lower officials had prepared herbs and ordered people to suffer. After the Prime Minister took it, his condition would improve."

“Then…”

Cui Zishu suddenly stuttered. With his identity and status, he shouldn't have been like this in front of the humble military doctor. It was just that he was afraid of getting a terrible answer to the questions he asked, and he couldn't help but get a terrible answer.

As a doctor, of course, you must be familiar with the world. The military doctor knew that the high-ranking official and several generals wanted to ask, so he took the initiative to say it without waiting for the other party to ask: "Please rest assured, Shangguan, the Prime Minister just suffered from cold and has not been infected with tuberculosis at the moment."

You have to establish a letter to guarantee it!

Cui Zishu almost said this sentence. When the military doctor said that the prime minister was not infected with tuberculosis, he almost cried with joy. Although the cold is too heavy, it will also cost people a life, but the two harms are the least. Tuberculosis must not be infected.

Facing the eyes of several generals, the military doctor explained calmly: "The lower official has heard it with a stethoscope. The prime minister's breathing sound is not abnormal. If he is infected with tuberculosis, his breathing sound should be like a breaking wind..."

Xiyang, Huangzhou not only produces hot-selling goods such as fabrics, books, glass products, soaps, white porcelain, etc., but also produces special medical supplies such as thermometers, single-ear stethoscopes, human skeleton diagrams and models, human internal organ distribution diagrams and models, etc., which are really diverse.

For some reason, Huangzhou doctors have made breakthrough progress in the research on the human body. They have also printed many medical books, summarizing various diagnosis and treatment experiences, including the summary of the initial symptoms of tuberculosis and the preliminary diagnosis methods, which has excited doctors from all over the world.

Cui Zishu listened to the military doctor's long discussion about how to diagnose the patient with tuberculosis. He felt that there were flies flying in his ears and felt quite irritable. However, he heard that the Prime Minister at least has not been infected with tuberculosis.

Falling into the water causes choking water and then catching a cold. This makes it easy to get tuberculosis, but the condition varies from person to person. Not everyone falls into the water, and catching a cold after choking the water will cause tuberculosis.

The Prime Minister has led the troops for many years and is in good health. I think he can survive it, but if the wind and cold worsen, it may also cause tuberculosis.

The military doctor was nagging, which was indeed annoying, but the other party was very sarcastic. Cui Zishu and several generals were a little relieved. Seeing Yuchi Dun open his eyes, they seemed to be a little more awake, so they hurried to the edge of the bed.

"Prime Minister!!"

"This...is this...you...you guys have returned to the camp?"

"Prime Minister! Please rest assured and not to do military affairs."

Seeing that Yuchi Dun could speak, Cui Zishu was very excited. He was worried that he would consume his energy when he talked too much, so he wanted to take his leave first, but Yuchi Dun grabbed his hand.

"What's going on in Xizhou?"

"Prime Minister please rest assured and recuperate. The officials and the last generals should make arrangements."

Yuchi Dun pulled off the gauze applied to his forehead and struggled to get up. A general rushed up to help him. Yuchi Dun forced himself to sit up and looked at the people in front of him, and then his eyes showed a cold light.

"Arrangement? You are so bold, why arrange for the withdrawal of troops!!"

"Prime Minister, the war is happening now..."
