Why did Cao Cao kill Hua Tuo as a rat? What's the secret behind it?

The doctor said the eleventh of the three kingdoms: an analysis of the deep-seated reasons why Cao Cao killed Hua Tuo. Some people say that Hua Tuo devoted himself to the medical career he loved all his life, and took it lightly, so he made great achievements. Some people say that he is actually a secular man who is keen on utility, because he was killed by Cao Cao in pursuit of fame and fortune. Is that really the case?

1. Why do some people say that Hua Tuo is a layman? Jian 'an period is a troubled era. Frequent wars and rampant plagues brought pain and disaster to people living in that era. Such an era is usually also an era in which famous doctors come forth in large numbers, among which Hua Tuo is the most famous and is called "imperial doctor" by later generations.

Hua Tuo is a native of Peiguoqiao County, in the same county as Cao Cao. In their hometown of Bozhou City, Anhui Province, Hua Tuo's popularity is no worse than that of Cao Cao.

Both the History of the Three Kingdoms and the History of the Later Han Dynasty have biographies of Hua Tuo. The reflection said that he had characteristics, and the later Han Dynasty said that he had characteristics.

Hua Tuo's date of birth is unknown. According to his life story, he was born in the first year of Yongjia (145), older than Cao Cao 10 years old. Like most scholars at that time, Hua Tuo devoted himself to the study of Confucian classics when he was young. He went to Xuzhou to study and was familiar with several Confucian classics, which was similar to getting several diplomas at the same time.

Chen Deng's father, Chen Dangpei, recommended him as Lian Xiao, and Qiu Huangwan once recruited him as an official, both of which were rejected by Hua Tuo.

Being an official at that time was very different from being a doctor. In people's minds, the status of doctors is very low, and occupation is the pursuit of most scholars. When Hua Tuo was elected Xiaolian, he was qualified to be an official and could start his career. This is something that others are eager for, and some senior officials have offered it. If Hua Tuo is willing, his career will sail far and wide.

Perhaps Hua Tuo's choice is too difficult to understand, so some people speculate that Hua Tuo is actually a person with a strong sense of fame and fortune in essence, and should not be recruited as a means of fishing for fame and fame, with the aim of raising his own worth and waiting for greater opportunities.

There is no denying that there were quite a few such people at the end of the Han Dynasty. Some people have shirked their policies for more than ten times in a row, and as a result, their reputation is getting bigger and bigger every time. The more they shirk, the more hidden they are, and they regard refusing to become an official as a means. But such people can't really let go of their official career, and their energy will keep speculating and observing, and they can't drill down in another field.

Hua tuo may regard his career as his life plan at first, but when he has a clear understanding of himself and a firm belief in the future direction, he becomes absent-minded. If he is still half-hearted, I believe it will be difficult to achieve such success in the future.

There is a kind of person who has a natural talent for a certain cause that others don't have, and that is love and desire, so he can't hold anything else in his heart. In the end, they became unparalleled in that field. Hua tuo is such a person. Second, why is Hua Tuo called "an imperial doctor"? Many stories of Hua Tuo are recorded in the History of the Three Kingdoms and the History of the Later Han Dynasty, which shows how superb his medical skills are.

There is a man named Deng, who is the head of the work supervision team sent by the county. He is ill and feels that he has recovered. Hua Tuo felt his pulse and warned him: "Although your illness has recovered, you should rest and wait for a complete recovery, otherwise your life will be worrying."

But the team leader didn't listen, and he was a little tired and soon died of illness.

There is also a patient named Xu, who is ill in bed because of stomach trouble. Hua tuo went to have a diagnosis. I asked a doctor to prick the stomach tube with a needle yesterday, and then I coughed and got upset.

After the diagnosis, Hua Tuo said to him, "That was a mistake. Acupuncture is not accurate. It does not go to the stomach, but to the liver. If you eat less and less every day, something will happen in five days. "

Sure enough, the man ate less and less and died five days later.

So everyone thinks that Hua Tuo is a god, and he can know life and death. In order to save a life, Hua Tuo sometimes uses some special means. There is a county satrap suffering from an incurable disease. Many doctors were not optimistic, so Hua Tuo was invited to have a look.

Hua tuo looked at his illness. He didn't say how to treat it, and he didn't prescribe medicine. Instead, he is arrogant and asks for huge medical expenses. After that, he left a letter and scolded the satrap for no reason.

The satrap has long been unhappy, and now he can't stand it. In a rage, he sent someone to kill Hua Tuo, but there was no one at all. The more he thinks about it, the angrier he gets. He was so angry that he vomited blood for several liters, and the blood was all black. Unexpectedly, the disease actually recovered.

It turns out that this is a kind of treatment deliberately adopted by Hua Tuo. By angering the satrap, the blood stasis that has not been circulated in his body can be discharged. This technique used by Hua Tuo can be regarded as psychotherapy.

Some people are very ill, but they don't have to spend too much money on expensive medicine. Hua Tuo often treats people who have no money, and he has done a lot of exploration in this respect.

Once, Hua Tuo found a seriously ill person on his way to practice medicine. His throat seems to be blocked and he can't eat anything. He looks miserable. Hua tuo went up to have a look and asked him to go to a small restaurant on the roadside to ask for some vinegar, get some aquatic plants and mash them into powder, and mix them with vinegar to drink.

As a result, the man vomited a parasite like a snake, and he recovered. Later, the patient's family went to Hua Tuo's residence to express their gratitude and found dozens of such bugs hanging on the wall.

Hua Tuo's outstanding contribution lies not only in clinical medicine, but also in surgery, health preservation and acupuncture. The "Ma Fei San" invented by him is an early one, and he can use it to operate on patients. His medical skills can't be summarized only by "superb", which is simply amazing, so he is classified as "alchemist" in history books and later called "alchemist".

There are also many celebrities who have treated Hua Tuo. Most people know that he treated Guan Yu's bones with poison, but there is no such record in official history. Some famous people have seen him, such as Chen Deng, Zhou Tai and Cao Cao.

Chen Deng's visit to Huatuo took place when Chen Deng was appointed as the magistrate of Guangling County. "The History of the Three Kingdoms" records: "Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling County, was ill, with chest tightness and red face.

Pulse:' Fu Jun has several liters of worms in his belly. If he wants to become gangrene, he will eat something fishy. Is to make two liters of soup, take one liter first, and be sure to do your best. After eating for a while, I vomited three liters of worms, my head moved, and I was covered with raw fish. The more I ate, the worse I felt.

He said,' the disease will break out in the last three stages, and a good doctor can save it.' If you start by date, you will die if you are absent. "

Zhou Tai is a soldier of Sun Wu. Once he was seriously injured, Hua Tuo cured him. This matter has a great influence, even Cao Cao knows it.

Due to long-term psychological stress and fatigue, Cao Cao suffered from head wind, and the pain was unbearable during the attack. Many doctors around me have seen it, and the effect is not good, let alone uprooting it. Someone introduced Hua Tuo to Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao met Hua Tuo, he was one of his fellow villagers. Secondly, he heard that he was famous, so he respected him very much. Cao Cao's first sentence when he saw him was: "Is Teacher Wang the one who cured Zhou Tai in Jiangdong?"

Hua Tuo treated Cao Cao and decided to use acupuncture. He inserted the needle from Cao Cao's thoracic diaphragmatic point. Without much effort, Cao Cao felt that his brain was clear and his head didn't hurt. Cao Cao is very happy.

Hua Tuo said to Cao Cao, "Your disease is a chronic disease of the brain, which is difficult to eradicate in a short time. It must be treated for a long time and slowly effective in order to prolong life. "

Hua tuo may be telling the truth, but Cao Cao is a little unhappy. He thought that Hua Tuo was mystifying himself in front of him and could cure his illness quickly, but he didn't do that in order to get paid.

However, in order that someone can cure a headache next time, I will keep Hua Tuo with me and become my own health care doctor.

3. Why did Cao Cao call his fellow villagers "rats"? At first, besides treating himself, Cao Cao allowed Hua Tuo to show it to people. After Cao Cao became prime minister, he asked Hua tuo to concentrate on treating diseases and stop serving others.

As an aspiring doctor, you can't improve your medical skills without frequent contact with patients. This is a very distressing thing for Hua Tuo, who is a little emotional.

Hua tuo later made an excuse to say that he had received a letter from home and wanted to go home to have a look. Cao Cao was allowed to take a vacation. However, Hua Tuo left and never came back. Cao Cao wrote several times to urge and sent local officials to visit, but Hua tuo still didn't mean to leave for home.

Cao Cao was furious and sent someone to verify it. He confessed that if Hua Tuo's wife was really ill, Hua Tuo would not pursue it and give her 40 yuan to welcome the extension of the holiday. If it's false, arrest him.

When I went, I found that Hua Tuo's wife was not ill. Hua tuo lied because he wanted to be a self-employed doctor and didn't want to be a full-time doctor.

Cao Cao hated the people who lied to him, so he arrested Hua Tuo and put him in the prison of Xu County.

After hearing this, Xun begged Cao Cao to say, "Hua Tuo is an honest man with high skills. Please be merciful. "

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao was still angry, not only refused to forgive, but also cursed Hua Tuo as a "mouse" and ordered Hua Tuo to be executed.

After Hua Tuo's death, he did not go back to his hometown Qiao County for burial, but was buried in Xu County, which may be due to his status as a prisoner before his death.

The History of the Three Kingdoms records that Hua Tuo took out a book and gave it to the jailer before he died, saying that the things on it could kill the living, but the jailer was too timid to ask for it, and Hua Tuo burned it in prison. Hua Tuo left many stories and legends, but there was no medical book.

If the jailer risks accepting Hua Tuo's book and passing it on to future generations, it may be another treatise on typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases.

After Hua Tuo's death, Cao Cao committed another head wind. Cao Cao said: "Although Hua Tuo can cure this disease, this person is not well treated, and he keeps putting it off and trying to respect himself. I won't kill him, and he won't break the root cause for me. "

When Cao Chong was ill, Hua Tuo was already dead. This time, Cao Cao no longer kept his mouth shut. He sighed: "I really regret killing Hua Tuo and making my son exhausted!"
