The lady who is a miracle doctor arrives and makes the general blush and his heart beats

The Western Xia Kingdom was founded by nomadic tribes forty years ago. The current ruler, Tuoba Zhaoying, is the son of the previous Western Xia King, Tuoba Xuanhao.

Since the defeat of Western Xia in the west more than 30 years ago, the country's national strength has declined rapidly due to the change of domestic regime. The situation was not eased until Tuoba Zhaoying came to power.

Tuoba Zhaoying was good at selecting the right people for the right positions. He imitated the court system of the Song Dynasty and implemented many reforms. He developed trade with neighboring countries, developed the economy, and vigorously carried out military reforms. After more than ten years, the power of the Western Xia Dynasty was prosperous and had recovered to the level of the early days of the founding of the dynasty.

The Western Xia army is powerful and in recent years has repeatedly sent troops to harass the border of the Song Dynasty. Although the harassment is small-scale, its ambition is hard to eliminate.

In particular, secret agents in the territory of Western Xia reported that the Western Xia general Mi Qin was preparing to gather troops from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and as expected, he was going to attack the Song Dynasty.

Ye Shiheng arrived in Kyoto, changed his clothes, and without even having time to say a few words to his family, he hurried into the palace to report on the military situation in the western border.

In the warm room of Xiangning Palace, the charcoal in the brazier was burning red. When Ye Shiheng stepped over the threshold and walked in, he felt a surge of warmth that dispelled the coldness in his body.

"Your Majesty, your servant Ye Shiheng pays homage." Ye Shiheng bowed.

It has been a year since the late emperor passed away. When the late emperor passed away a year ago, Ye Shiheng received a letter from his son Ye Zelin, which said that the Prince of Qinghe had forced the emperor to abdicate, Zhao Zixu had passed away, and the Prince of Qin had ascended the throne. The late emperor had passed away, and the new emperor had ascended the throne. It was a time of instability in the country, and he was afraid that the Western Xia would take the opportunity to attack the western border, so his son specifically told him not to return to Beijing unless necessary.

Over the past year, Ye Shiheng has been concerned about the movements of the Western Xia, and has fought several small-scale battles with the Western Xia army. Some time ago, he received news that the Western Xia general Mi Qin, who was about to lead his troops to attack the Song Dynasty.

It is now the middle of winter, the western border is cold and the environment is harsh. It is not the best time for a war. If nothing unexpected happens, when the weather warms up in late spring and early summer next year, Western Xia will launch a large-scale attack on Song.

Ye Shiheng gave a detailed account of the military situation in the western border and the time when Western Xia might launch a war.

Qin Youran frowned and looked serious. He listened to Ye Shiheng's report for a long time before he said, "General Ye, do we have to fight this battle?"

Ye Shiheng, "Your Majesty, as a soldier, what I hate most is killing. The barbarians are invading our territory and slaughtering our people. We have to fight this war."

Qin Youran pondered for a moment and asked, "If Xixia launches a massive attack, do you have a plan to deal with it?"

Ye Shiheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, before I returned to Beijing, I asked General Liang, General Lu and others to strengthen the defense of the border. Yumen Pass is the first pass on the border between our dynasty and Western Xia. I have sent General Zhong to lead a group of people to Yumen Pass to guard Yumen Pass together with General Zhou Fuqin. Our spies have also sneaked into Western Xia territory to investigate the military movements of Western Xia and find out the specific time of Western Xia's attack."

"Our dynasty has not fought a large-scale war with Xixia for many years. I expect that Xixia will go all out to attack the Song Dynasty this time. This will be a fierce battle!" Ye Shiheng speculated on the form of the upcoming war. "Your Majesty, in addition to reporting military intelligence, another thing I have to do when I return to Beijing is to prepare food and grass."

Before the troops move, food and fodder must be sent first. Food and fodder are always the guarantee for supporting the soldiers in the front line to fight.

Not only food and fodder, but also weapons, armor, clothes, quilts, and medicinal materials are all indispensable.

Qin Youran did not go to the border, but he knew that the war was necessary. If Western Xia invaded, the Song Dynasty would have troops, so why should it be afraid of fighting them all?

He thought, if the late emperor were still alive, he would definitely fight this battle!

……

Ye Shiheng had just returned to the General's Mansion when Ye Zelin, who worked in the Ministry of Personnel, also returned.

"Dad!" Ye Zelin recognized the familiar figure at the moon cave gate at a glance.

Ye Shiheng slowly turned his head, his eyes full of love, and replied softly: "Lin'er."

Ye Zelin walked forward quickly, unable to suppress the joy in his heart, and asked softly, "Dad, when did you come back?"

There was a hint of anger in his words, wondering why no one told him the good news.

"We just arrived in the capital today." Ye Shiheng's voice was as warm as the spring breeze. "Dad went to the palace to meet His Majesty and just came back from the palace."

Ye Zelin hurriedly asked: "Do mother and the others know that you are back?"

"I know. Dad went back home first before entering the palace."

The father and son walked towards Yongliyuan while talking, their shadows stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Ye Shiheng had been away from home for more than a year, and Madam Ouyang specially prepared a sumptuous dinner to welcome Ye Shiheng back. At the dinner table, the family laughed and talked happily, and it was very lively.

When Ye Shiheng went to the Western Border, Wei Jie'er was not even a month old. Now, Wei Jie'er, who is almost two years old, met her grandfather for the first time. She was not shy at all and obediently let Ye Shiheng hold her in his arms.

The little girl was eloquent and good at speaking. She called out "Grandfather, Grandpa" repeatedly, which made Ye Shiheng very happy and laugh heartily. He said that Wei Jie'er was the darling of their Ye family.

Isn’t Sister Wei the general’s darling?

In the past, Miss Ruhuan was the most favored one in the mansion, but now all the glory has been taken by Sister Wei.

Especially the old general, he doted on Wei Jie'er, almost to the heaven, which caused Dugu Lanxi to complain to Hua Fushu in private several times. She said that the old man doted on Wei Jie'er so much, what would happen if he spoiled her.

Hua Fushu comforted her, saying that the old man was a sensible man and would not spoil his child without principles.

After dinner, Ye Shiheng called his two sons to his study. He informed the brothers Ye Yunlu and Ye Zelin of the situation in the Western Territory and issued a military order, "After the new year, you will follow your father to the Western Territory."

Ye Yunlu looked solemn and said, "Yes, General."

Ye Zelin also clasped his fists and said, "My son will obey my father's orders."

Ye Shiheng continued: "I'm afraid this battle won't be that easy to fight. You should be mentally prepared."

Ye Yunlu and Ye Zelin looked at each other. They both understood the deep meaning of their father's words.

Since ancient times, the battlefield has been extremely dangerous and life and death are unpredictable. If you are not careful, you may die on the battlefield.

Ye Zelin's eyes were firm, "Father, I'm not afraid."

He was well aware of the cruelty of war, but as a descendant of the Ye family, it was his responsibility to defend his country.

Ye Yunlu chuckled, "This isn't the first time my son has been on the battlefield, so why should he be afraid?"

Ye Shiheng looked at his two sons in front of him, his heart filled with pride.

He patted the shoulders of the Ye Zelin brothers and said, "Well, you are worthy of being the sons of the Ye family."

The next day, Qin Youran spoke about the affairs of the western border at the court meeting. The ministers held different opinions. Some thought that the war should not be fought and that war would be too costly and laborious. Some believed that the war must be fought and that not fighting would not be enough to enhance the prestige of the Song Dynasty. If not fighting, Western Xia would become more aggressive and continue to invade our borders.

"In recent years, the Western Xia barbarians have repeatedly invaded our borders, killing and massacring civilians. Many people have been left homeless. I have decided to send General Ye to lead the western border army to attack Western Xia, and we will make Western Xia pay the price!" Qin Youran said angrily.

After the court was dismissed, Ye Shiheng immediately began to prepare food and supplies. A few days later, the first batch of food and supplies was transported to the western border...
