Episode 380. Turning Poison into Medicine (1)
When poisoned with choo poison, the eyes become blurred, dizziness, convulsions in the limbs occur, the mouth and tongue harden to the extent that it is difficult to speak, vomiting occurs, and if the symptoms worsen, blood pressure and body temperature drop and death occurs. .
However, such symptoms did not occur in General Guan-wu’s body.
“Shaking hands and feet, numbness of the mouth and tongue, and vomiting are symptoms that appear when you eat Cho-o poison, and when you are hit by an arrow with Cho-o poison on your limbs like General Gwan-woo, those symptoms appear after a while and are much milder.”
At Obo’s calm answer, the painter tilted his head for a moment, then nodded again.
In fact, when it came to poison, the misinformation had surpassed the fireman at some point.
After becoming a feudal lord, he had many things to take care of, so he couldn’t concentrate on medicine, but Obo had a much deeper knowledge and experience because he had been devoted to the field ever since he was told to study poison by the painter.
“It could be. So, did you see any improvement after using the hunters’ antidote?”
“It was a poison similar to Chooh poison, and the symptoms of poisoning were similar, but the hunters’ detoxification method alone prevented the spread of paralysis symptoms, but the existing paralysis part is still in the state.”
The painter strongly ties the rope around the upper part of Guan Yu’s forearm while Obo speaks. Then, after stabbing acupuncture with an anesthetic solution to reduce pain and block blood circulation once more, the sensation was checked.
“General Guan Yu. I stabbed you like this… don’t you feel the pain?”
“I feel stuffy, but I don’t know if it hurts.”
“As expected, it is a paralytic poison similar to Chooh poison. How about this top?”
The fireman pinched the top of the blood vessel tied with a line.
“It hurts.”
“It’s fortunate.”
The fireman quickly removed the arrow. Since he was already used to this kind of thing, Guan Yu was cutting his flesh with a knife and pulling out an arrow while he was doing something.
The flesh of the arrow was fortunately lodged between the radius and ulna. If it was lodged in a bone, the bone might have to be cut as no antidote has yet been found.
“Until now, I didn’t know it was painful because I cut the poisoned part with the effect of the anesthetic, but from now on, I will scrape everything around the poisoned part. It will be a terrible pain, so keep this in your mouth.”
Hwabu knew that he had to touch the part where many nerve cells were distributed, so he advised Gwanwu to bite the gag.
However, Guan Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“Uncountable number of subordinate soldiers died because of my greed and foolish judgment. Can’t I just endure this much pain? Don’t worry, please do the surgery.”
The hwabu looked at Guan Yu’s bloodshot eyes for a moment, then nodded.
I wondered if just enduring this kind of pain would atone for my sins.
“I get it.”
Deaf…..
“Oooh!”
When more than the necrotic part was removed in earnest, a groan escaped from the mouth of Guan-wu with a clenched tooth.
The painter moved his hand calmly and quickly, knowing that the sooner the operation was performed, the less the pain would be.
‘Eh, if it was an anesthetic in the future, I wouldn’t have suffered like this, but since it’s an anesthetic made from poisonous plants, there’s a limit to anesthesia… Go, go! Isn’t this poison… the poison I used to make the anesthetic?’
A thought that popped into my mind.
The anesthetic made by the painter also contained the extract of hemp and the root component of the helmet flower.
‘It’s the same symptoms of paralysis… Maybe it’ll work!’
I immediately thought of doing a clinical trial.
“ouch.”
“Your master.”
Obo and Bun-ah assisted the painter’s surgery from the side. Bun-a spread the cracked part of Guan-wu’s forearm to the side to facilitate the painter’s surgery, and Oh-bo connected the blood vessels and muscles of the part that the painter cut off or supported it with a pharynx. .
“After this operation, mix green beans and green beans in a ratio of eight to two, boil them, and brew them.”
Mouse-eye beans are black beans that are smaller than Seoritae, and the name was given because the size is as small as a mouse’s eye.
“ah! Master! Do you think the antidote to this poison is similar to neutralizing an anesthetic?”
Obona Buna also knew how to neutralize it because she helped the painter make the anesthetic.
Because of this, I guessed the intention of the fireman at once.
“Mung bean and green bean have strong detoxifying power, so they are very beneficial to the body even if they are eaten as they are. Wouldn’t it be more effective than the hunters’ antidote?”
“All right.”
“Now that the affected area has been removed, go and make an antidote.”
“Your master.”
Bun-ah handed over what she was doing to the fireman and went out.
Drip-tuk…..
Hearing the sound of dripping water, the painter turned his head and was slightly surprised to find out that the water droplets were the sweat dripping from Guan-wu.
‘A normal person would have screamed for their throats to be ripped open, but what a great patience!’
“It’s all over now, so be patient.”
“Keugh, your master.”

“Before the 3 o’clock march of the Duke of Zhou, it is said that the prison of Penyang County was destroyed and about 40,000 of the Western Zhou army marched toward the city of Eopseong.”
“what! also?”
Upon receiving the report from the skirmisher, Cao Cao’s complexion turned bright yellow.
I have already heard that more than 250,000 troops passed through five counties, including Guando County, Neihuang County, Muan County, Sahyeon County, and Yanggi County, and marched to Yeopseong.
Only 100,000 troops were left for Mercury.
It’s not that I don’t believe in Janghap and Zhongyo to command them, but the difference in strength was too great.
“Juju Gong. I don’t think I can stand by any longer.”
This time, Guo Jia did not object to sending reinforcements.
“Attach 100,000 soldiers to Seo Huang to help Jang He and Zhong Yao.”
“I take orders.”
In this situation, if you take out 100,000 soldiers, you may lose the victory you barely caught, but it was an unavoidable choice because the business should not fall into the hands of the enemy.
After a while, when Seo Hwang, who received the order, withdrew to the rear with 100,000 troops, the front line that had been pushing Hwabu’s army for a while swayed greatly. And soon, with a loud shout, Hwabu’s army advanced again and began to push Cao Cao’s army.
“Haa~ 2 million troops is absurd, but they even had the strength to attack the castle with 300,000 troops behind them!”
Jojo’s face darkened like the dark night sky.
The fight that started in the morning continued into the night.
In the meantime, he had seized the victory and retreated in terms of strategy, but if you look at it, his strategy worked well, and he was reaping a lot of benefits from winning the game until a little while ago.
However, as many as 100,000 troops had left, there was no capacity to fill the void.
In the Hwabu’s camp, 100,000 troops would not be so empty, but in Jojo’s camp, which only filled the number of one million by requisitioning children and the elderly, 100,000 elite soldiers could be said to be 20% of the total strength.
Now, there was no choice but to retreat gradually and return to the castle to prepare for the siege.
* * *
“Master Hwasa, I think we should stop attacking the castle now.”
The pot made a puzzled expression at Bangtong’s sudden suggestion.
Although the business was solid, the initial inducement plan was successful, and almost half of the cavalry led by the opponent’s general, Jang Hee, were destroyed. As a result, Zhang He led the remnants of the defeated army and fled toward Gokryang County, where Cao Cao’s camp was located.
Usually, when defeated, they return to the castle, but when an ally who joined them attacked the castle while they were fighting, the castle gate was firmly closed, forcing Janghap to take the damage and escape.
Flowerpot waited for all other troops to join as the battle disappeared, and when 300,000 troops gathered, they attacked the castle at once, and the enemy was greatly staggered with that one shot.
After that, the enemy somehow blocked it, but the blockade was complete, so it seemed that if we did well, we might be able to capture the castle before dawn after tonight.
However, in such a situation, when Bangtong said to stop the attack, he made an expression that he did not understand.
“Almost half of the castle gates have been broken, so why stop all of a sudden?”
“It must have reached Cao Cao’s ears that we were attacking the castle. So Cao Cao must have sent a relief army to defend the castle.”
“Don’t you think we can capture the castle before the relief army arrives?”
“There is a possibility, but the enemy general’s skill in handling soldiers doesn’t seem easy. It is not a problem if the castle is captured, but if the enemy’s relief army arrives quickly, we will face the enemy from the front and back. So, it is better to avoid it at this point.”
Flowerpot listened to Bangtong’s words and looked at the castle.
The enemy seems to be about to be captured, but is not able to, and is persistently holding on.
‘Boo had asked Shinsin to unconditionally follow the opinion of the defense forces. I think I’m right… but maybe I’m greedy as I said. Even if it’s wrong, I think it’s right to follow his words.’
“Okay. I think the military commander’s opinion is valid. Hello. Beat the drum and hand over the soldiers.”
“Stop attacking and defeat the soldiers.”
Doong Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
of the drums changed, the soldiers attacking the castle stopped attacking and began to retreat.
Flower pot asked Bangtong again as the soldiers retreated.
“Then, how should we greet the enemy relief forces?”
“I’d rather not do anything. Let the relief forces return to the castle, and we must prepare to meet Cao Cao’s main force.”
“what? the main body? Are you saying that Cao Cao will retreat even after sending a relief army?”
“yes. I’m sure it will. No matter how great Cao Cao’s skills are, 800,000 can’t face our main force. So I will try to step back slowly and invisibly.”
Excluding the soldiers sent to the relief army and those who died or fled during the war, it was estimated that about 800,000 remained.
“hmm! So, are we going to tie that foot up?”
“yes. Exactly. If you are stranded in the middle of retreat, you will be attacked from the front and back on the other side. Cao Cao’s army will never be able to withstand the attack of our main force.”
“her! That’s an ingenious trick. Then I’ll have to let go without encountering the relief army.”
“Your enemy will be in a hurry, so he will definitely come via the quickest route, Naehwanghyeon. So I think we can avoid it in the direction of Sahyun.”
“Isn’t it going too far if it’s Four Hyeonu? I think it would be convenient and appropriate to come back to Beonyang-hyeon.”
“Peonyang Prefecture is too close to escape the eyes of the enemy. Even if we get caught, I think it’s better to avoid it to the extent that we think we’ve retreated.”
“exactly? To be honest, I don’t understand it with my head, but I’ll follow the meaning. Hey, all commanders, lead your troops and move towards Sahyun!”
“I take orders.”
The pot collected Bangtong’s opinion and repeated the fireman’s words several times in his head.
A new request to follow the opinion of broadcasting.
If I hadn’t listened to that request, we would have clashed several times in the conversation just now.
* * *
The fireman treated the longevity’s wounds and fed them water with a mixture of mung bean and green bean. Then, the symptoms of hardening of the mouth and tongue of the longevity disappeared and the vomiting stopped.
When the longevity saw the effect, all the injured soldiers showing symptoms of poisoning were also made to drink water infused with green beans and green beans.
“Master, the symptoms of those who complained of being cold with trembling hands and feet have alleviated.”
“Yes, I’m glad. You are lucky.”
