"The son of the Minister of Rites, Ling Zhiheng."
"I'm Yu Chisu."
"My name is Mu Qing."
General Lu welcomed Hua Fushu and others into the military camp, and assigned more than 20 soldiers to unload the medicinal materials, rice and other items from the vehicles.
In the tent, General Lu asked someone to brew the best tea in the camp. This was the front line battlefield, so this tea naturally could not be compared with famous teas such as Longjing and Biluochun. Hua Fushu has never been picky about food and drink, so on the battlefield full of dangers, it was already very good to have tea to drink.
Ling Zhiheng was born into a wealthy family and lived a life of luxury. When he decided to come to the western frontier, he had made all the mental preparations. Ye Yushi was fighting on the front line, and he would definitely not hold Yushi back.
Yu Chisu was never a spoiled young lady; she was a swordswoman who roamed the world with her sword. She had followed Hua Fushu to the Western Border to help her. The Xixia barbarians were plundering their Song territory, and as a Song citizen, she had to do her part.
Ye Zelin, the commander-in-chief, was not in the barracks at this time. Instead, he led his men to the outskirts of Jiayu Pass to inspect the terrain. To the east of Jiayu Pass stood towering mountains and dense jungles, making the terrain extremely complex.
The day before yesterday, they fought fiercely with the Western Xia army in the east of Jiayuguan and chased the Western Xia army all the way to the mountains and forests. However, the Western Xia army fled into the mountains and forests and soon disappeared without a trace. They searched in the mountains and forests for a long time but did not find even the shadow of a Western Xia soldier.
The mountains were covered in lush vegetation and the terrain was complex. Ye Zelin was convinced that the Xixia soldiers could not have simply vanished. He reasoned that the Xixia must have hidden a plank road within the forest, or perhaps a secret route for their retreat.
The golden crow gradually sets in the west, night slowly falls, and the stars reveal their faces.
It was early summer, and the heat from the west had not yet arrived. Only the night wind gently blew the military flags, making them rustle.
Ye Zelin returned to the military camp under the stars.
A long arm lifted the curtain of the military tent. Hua Fushu looked up and saw a young man walking into the tent. He was wearing silver armor and had a handsome face. His features were as three-dimensional as a sculpture. His eyes, as deep as a pool of ink, were even more captivating.
This was the first time Hua Fushu saw Ye Zelin wearing armor, and he was exactly as she had imagined.
The moment Ye Zelin saw Hua Fushu, he was obviously stunned, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You're here. I just received your letter from Xijing a few days ago."
Before deciding to come to Jiayuguan, Meihua Fushu had already written a letter to Ye Zelin, informing him that she would escort the medicinal materials to Jiayuguan, and she also said that she would not return to the capital, but would stay in the military camp as a military doctor.
"I just arrived today." Hua Fushu smiled and said, "Don't mention sending me back to Tokyo. I said I'm not going back."
Ye Zelin smiled and would not force Hua Fushu to return to Beijing. "It is a blessing for our army to have a miracle doctor like Madam to help us. However, the conditions in the army are difficult. Can you bear it?"
"I am a medical practitioner and I am not afraid of hardship." Hua Fushu raised his head and looked at Ye Zelin, his eyes full of sincerity.
Ye Zelin extended his hand, and Hua Fushu responded with his own. The two held hands tightly, "Okay, in that case, we will be comrades from now on."
A short separation is better than a new marriage. Couples who haven't seen each other for several months will naturally take a good time to reconnect.
Looking at her husband sleeping beside her, Hua Fushu felt that as long as she stayed by the side of her beloved man, she would be satisfied.
…
Hua Fushu became a military doctor, and Mu Qing also became a military doctor at the same time.
Mu Qing has some knowledge of medicine. His medical skills were actually taught by Hua Fushu when he was in Meixijian. In a sense, Mu Qing can be considered half-disciple of Hua Fushu.
The war had entered a white-hot stage. Ye Zelin and General Lu led the army in several fierce battles with the Western Xia army. A large number of wounded were sent in every day. The army had only a few military doctors, and faced with so many wounded, they were overwhelmed.
Yu Chisu volunteered to help the military doctors and boil medicine for the soldiers. Even Ling Zhiheng, the pampered young man, came to help.
The accompanying Tianxuanwei brothers and four medicinal herb masters also lent a helping hand.
The wounded initially refused to let Hua Fushu treat them because of the gender difference and the fact that Hua Fushu was General Ye Zelin's wife.
Hua Fushu was furious. "What? I'm not afraid, so why are you afraid? My medical skills are unparalleled in the world, are you afraid that I can't cure you? Just lie down!"
Seeing this, the soldiers lay back like quails. Why is General Ye's wife so fierce? She's like a tigress!
The war has been going on for a long time, and the Western Xia army has not yet withdrawn from Jiayuguan.
The Western Xia army was powerful and attacked fiercely. Seeing that they had been unable to capture Jiayuguan for a long time, the commander-in-chief Yelining Lingge sent another 10,000 troops to reinforce.
In the afternoon of that day, Yelining Lingge personally led the army to attack Jiayuguan. The two armies fought fiercely on the battlefield, with both sides evenly matched. The battle lasted from noon to dusk without stopping for a long time.
On the Jiayuguan city wall, Hua Fushu gazed at the scene before him.
She saw the bravery and fearlessness of the Song Dynasty soldiers, fighting with the enemy and guarding Jiayuguan at the risk of their lives, and she also saw the enemy's relentless pursuit.
Smoke billowed and the battlefield was dyed red with blood. Soldiers fell one after another, and then more soldiers rushed forward to continue fighting the enemy.
Looking at the scenes before him, Hua Fushu was filled with emotion.
War is cruel, bloody, and requires one to die on the battlefield.
But if it weren't for these soldiers fighting to the death and guarding the peace of the border, how could the people live in peace?
Seeing that the Song army's offensive was really fierce, Yelining's brother was worried that if they continued fighting, they would suffer heavy losses. In addition, it was getting dark, which was not conducive to fighting, so he signaled the soldiers beside him to sound the retreat.
The soldier quickly struck the bronze bell, ordering the soldiers to retreat.
The Western Xia army retreated in a hurry, and Ye Zelin and General Lu led their soldiers in pursuit until the Western Xia army retreated far away from Jiayu Pass.
General Lu rode up and asked, "Do you want to chase when it rains?"
Ye Zelin retracted the spear in his hand, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "What do you think?"
General Lu said, "Don't pursue a desperate enemy."
Ye Zelin waved his hand and smiled, "Brother Yelining has at most returned to the army, but he's not a defeated enemy yet. But you're right, we can't pursue him! Haha, just wait. Within a month, I'll have Brother Yelining withdraw from Jiayuguan and return to Sakzhou in disgrace."
The two led their troops back to Jiayuguan City.
night.
Ye Zelin was covered in the smell of blood, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He took off his armor, took his underwear and went to wash.
Hua Fushu suddenly felt nauseous, as if something was churning in her stomach. Over the past few months, she had adapted to the climate of the Western Territory. Everything tasted delicious, and she hadn't lost her appetite. She no longer felt sick to her stomach even after eating a steamed bun.
Am I too pampered and pretentious?
She is not that kind of pampered and pretentious woman.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.
Her right hand tightly clasped the joint of her left hand, and her slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
Her hand gently stroked her belly, and a gentle smile appeared in her eyes, as lingering as the warm spring sun. "When I was looking forward to you, you didn't come. When I stopped looking forward to you, you came."
