In the name of visiting Yuan Shu, not only did Yang Rui bring his condolences and greetings, but he also brought news that he could invite the Divine Doctor, Hua Tuo. Naturally, Yuan Shu was overjoyed. On the spot, he promised Yang Rui a lot of benefits.
However, among these benefits, there was not much money, only 100000 gold coins. The rest of the benefits came in the form of territory, population, and so on. Some of the territories were even occupied by Liu Bei's forces. Yang Rui could not help but feel disdain for Liu Bei.
In addition, Yuan Shu also promised Yang Rui 10000 beauties as thanks. After asking Yang Rui to state his conditions, Yuan Shu immediately began to recruit the beauties for Yang Rui. The recording officer beside him even asked about the beauties' age, physique, and other indicators.
Yang Rui despised Yuan Shu even more. At the same time, he felt ashamed of his own reputation. Judging from Yuan Shu's expression, it seemed that Yuan Shu had treated him as a comrade in the Sea of Desire.
In the end, Yang Rui directly rejected Yuan Shu's offer, stating that he was only looking for the Divine Doctor, Hua Tuo, for the sake of their friendship. He did not intend to use this opportunity to ask for anything. If Yuan Shu really wanted to express his gratitude, he could simply convert all of it into population.
Yang Rui believed that there was no need to beat around the bush with people like Yuan Shu. Directly stating his conditions was the most effective and convenient way. In the end, Yuan Shu happily agreed to hand over 10,000,000 NPC Liegeman to Yang Rui unconditionally. It was clear that Yuan Shu was willing to do anything to save his own life.
Moreover, Yang Rui believed that as long as he persisted a little longer, Yuan Shu would definitely hand over more NPC Liegeman. However, Yang Rui did not have the capacity to transport the NPCs for the time being.
Naturally, the NPC Liegeman that Yuan Shu handed over would be transported to Yizhou. With the increased transport capacity, they could transport 500,000 NPC Liegeman at a time. Calculating every 20 game days, it would take about 400 game days to transport 10,000,000 NPC Liegeman.
It would take more than a game year, and it was hard to say how long Yuan Shu could last. According to Hua Tuo's initial judgment, he probably did not have a game year to look forward to. Therefore, it would be useless to fight for more NPC quotas.
As for Hua Tuo himself, Yang Rui also made a request to Yuan Shu. According to Hua Tuo, he would need about a game month to keep Yuan Shu alive. Therefore, Yang Rui told Yuan Shu in advance that Hua Tuo would be able to restore Yuan Shu's body within a month. When the time came, Hua Tuo would have to return to Xuzhou.
Yuan Shu naturally did not object to this, especially when he heard that his body could really be restored and that it would only take about a month. This was more effective than any other words to heal the trauma in his heart.
When Yang Rui saw Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu looked like he was terminally ill. His old face was the color of bacon, his eyes were sunken and unfocused, and he spoke weakly. He was gasping for breath between words and would cough up blood from time to time.
This reminded Yang Rui, who had some medical background, of some unpleasant images similar to those in the late stages of AIDS. The two looked very similar. Yang Rui was even a little worried that Hua Tuo might not be able to save Yuan Shu's life when he arrived.
Facts proved that Yang Rui's worries were unnecessary. After Yang Rui and Yuan Shu finished their discussion, Hua Tuo returned and told Hua Tuo about Yuan Shu's situation. Hua Tuo still had an indifferent expression. Yang Rui could also tell from his words that Hua Tuo had already expected Yuan Shu's condition.
Yang Rui was relieved. The next day, Yang Rui personally sent Hua Tuo to Shouchun. As Yuan Shu's territory was in the middle of a war with Liu Bei, the teleportation formation could not be used. The two of them still used the Void Crossing Airship to travel.
Originally, Yang Rui wanted to arrange for some people to take care of Hua Tuo. However, Hua Tuo refused. With Yuan Shu's' enthusiasm 'after meeting Hua Tuo, Yang Rui was not too worried about Hua Tuo's safety.
As long as Hua Tuo could help Yuan Shu recover, Yuan Shu would be very grateful and would not do anything out of the ordinary. Moreover, Yang Rui was standing behind Hua Tuo. There would not be anything wrong.
There was another detail. After Hua Tuo and Yuan Shu met, Hua Tuo first checked on Yuan Shu's condition. After checking, Hua Tuo seemed to have an idea of what was going on. Then, Hua Tuo proposed a treatment plan.
It involved medicinal supplements, abstinence, acupuncture, and other parts of the content. Yuan Shu could accept the fact that he had to take medicine when he was sick. However, when Hua Tuo mentioned abstinence, Yuan Shu hesitated for a moment. It could be seen that he was so lustful that he didn't even worry about his life.
After hesitating for a while, Yuan Shu finally decided that his life was more important and accepted abstinence. However, the most difficult part for Yuan Shu to accept was the acupuncture.
Perhaps to reduce the gap between unnecessary treatment, Hua Tuo first showed Yuan Shu a large number of gold needles, silver needles, and bone needles used for acupuncture. All of them were very sharp. Most of them were short, but some of them were tens of centimeters long. Yuan Shu trembled after seeing them.
After that, Yuan Shu spent a lot of time explaining and being comforted by the people around him. Only then did Yuan Shu slowly agree. However, his forehead was already full of sweat.
When Yang Rui saw this scene, he couldn't help but secretly mock Yuan Shu in his heart. As a feudal lord, Yuan Shu was actually scared by some gold and silver needles. He was even sweating profusely. It was obvious that he was incompetent.
Yang Rui sent Hua Tuo off and explained everything clearly. He then bid farewell and returned to Xu Province. However, Hua Tuo insisted on sending him off. In fact, he had something to say. Yang Rui also sensed it, so he brought Hua Tuo out of Shouchun's "Inner Imperial City".
As expected, Hua Tuo told Yang Rui that Yuan Shu was terminally ill. His life was actually coming to an end. At most, he could only last for about half a year in the game. He hinted that Yang Rui should be prepared for this.
Yang Rui was also very surprised when he heard Hua Tuo's words. Originally, Yang Rui was still preparing for the game year that Hua Tuo mentioned. However, he did not expect that after Hua Tuo met Yuan Shu, this time would be shortened by half. This showed how serious Yuan Shu's illness was.
As a result, Yang Rui suddenly felt a little rushed. After Yuan Shu's death, the three civilizations' third large-scale system storyline would definitely start soon. Yang Rui still had a lot of things to prepare.
After saying goodbye to Hua Tuo in a hurry, Yang Rui quickly returned to Xu Province. He used the teleportation circle to return to Linzi City and gathered a group of strategists and generals for a meeting.
