The military subordinate in charge of the dical center was General Ming Wei’s first wife, Madam Ming.
General Ming Wei was over 50 years old and was an old general in the army. He had guarded the North for more than 30 years and had assisted two Kings of the North. To King Li of Zhou and King Yue Fei, he was a capable general under them and was also the commander who had taught them to ride the battlefield. General Ming Wei was a fourth-grade general, but his prestige in the army was second only to King Yue Fei.
After the Marquis of Changxing guarded the North, he wanted to subdue 300,000 You soldiers, but he suffered because of General Ming Wei. He had too much prestige in the army, so General Ming Wei was sent to Fuxin City to guard it.
Fuxin was the first barrier to resist the Northern Barbarians. After General Mingwei guarded Fuxin, there were three years of stability in the North, and the Marquis of Changxing could rest easy.
After Yin Huaixi was conferred the title of King Yue Fei, the King of the North, there was one point when he wanted to transfer the old General Ming Wei back to Xiangping, but he was rejected by General Mingwei.
General Ming Wei was wise and righteous. The Marquis of Changxing had caused the You army to be in a ss. Just as there were internal and external troubles, it was urgent for King Yue Fei to reorganize the You army, take in the old troops, and revive the power of the You army.
King Yue Fei could only be free of worries if General Ming Wei continued to guard Fuxin and intimidate the Di people.
Madam Ming had a straightforward and spicy personality. She was warm-hearted and followed General Ming Wei. She was extrely famous in the army and often gathered the family mbers of the soldiers to do so sewing and washing for the soldiers.
During the war, she was even less afraid of danger. She personally went to the front line to deliver food and dicine to the soldiers and treat the injured. The soldiers in the army kindly called her “Auntie Ming”.
Back then, when the Princess Consort established the military doctor’s office, Madam Ming had contributed.
Madam Ming was also a “field dic.”
However, she was getting old and weak. After the Marquis of Changxing
guarded the North, she had already retired.
This ti, it was also because her old lumbar spine had relapsed that she had no choice but to go to Jinzhou to recuperate. When she heard that Eldest Princess Shaoyi wanted to imitate the Princess Consort and establish a dical center, she was imdiately very interested.
Madam Ming knew about Eldest Princess Shaoyi’s life and especially admired her, so she wanted to help her. She recomnded herself and added herself to the list of the first batch of soldiers to participate in the basic training arranged by Eldest Princess Shaoyi.
No one knew that Madam Ming had co to Jinzhou to recuperate. In addition, the respectful title of “Auntie Ming” had almost beco a symbol of Madam Ming. Therefore, Yu Youyao did not know in advance, nor did she think about Madam Mings identity. It was only because Madam Ming had displayed outstanding managent talent during her basic training that she had noticed her.
Madam Ming had contributed greatly to the successful establishnt of the dical center.
“There’s news from the front line that ng Duo is calling for a battle outside the narrow Yu Pass. The two armies are facing each other, and a battle is about to break out.” As soon as Madam Ming entered the room, she ntioned the situation outside the narrow Yu Pass.
Seeing Yu Youyao’s head scarf and hair tied up, wearing a gray cloth outfit and thick armor tied to her chest and back, she seed to see the forr Consort Zhou Li again. She couldn’t help but sigh.
“ng Duo has just sent out a battle invitation the day before yesterday, but he’s already calling for a battle outside the pass today. It’s obvious that he’s co prepared.” Yu Youyao had a bad feeling in her heart, and her right eyelid kept twitching. “Military Advisor Huang has ntioned that due to the drought, the internal division of the Northern Barbarians is very serious.
Although ng Duo is a fierce general, in terms of experience, he’s still a little inferior to so old generals. Why can ng Duo take over the right to speak and be the commander-in-chief of the main battle faction?”
ng Ying was a famous old general in the grassland. Back then, he was the one who led the enemy to defeat Zhou. Like father, like son. ng Duo inherited his father’s bravery and was also incomparably brave. After ng
Ying died, he took over his father’s army. It had only been eight to nine years.
Madam Mings heart skipped a beat. “Unless…”
“Unless…” Yu Youyao quickly finished Madam Mings sentence and couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat. “ng Duo has grasped the plan to defeat the Great Zhou and has obtained the approval of the pro-war faction.
Sothing might have happened at the narrow Yu Pass.”
There were more than ten branches of the Northern Barbarians, and there were dozens and hundreds of generals of various sizes. All of them were experienced and incomparably brave. A plan that they unanimously approved of…
Madam Mings heart skipped a beat. “I’ll send soone to the narrow Yu Pass to send a ssage imdiately…”
“It’s too late.” Yu Youyao’s eyebrows were gentle and firm. “The battlefield is changing rapidly. All we can do is trust Your Highness and the soldiers at the front line. We’ll spare no effort to support the rear.”
Outside the narrow Yu Pass, the two armies were a thousand feet apart, facing each other. The war drums were like thunder, and the flags were fluttering.
The confrontation of the two armies was a test of the strength of both sides. During this process, neither side would easily send out their troops. Either side could withdraw their troops at any ti, and the other side was not allowed to pursue.
As the saying went, they would try peaceful asures before using force.
It expressed the reverence of those who used troops towards war, their respect for their opponents, and their reverence for the heavens.
At the sa ti, it tested the ntal fortitude of the main generals of both sides.
In history, the famous Wang Jian had led 600,000 troops to attack Chu. He had used most of the Qin army, but he still did not have the confidence to defeat Xiang Yan of Chu, so he did not dare to act rashly.
The two armies faced each other for four to five years. Then, at that ti, the King of Chu couldn’t take it anymore and ordered Xiang Yan to send troops that Wang Jian had no choice but to send troops to provide the opportunity to defeat Chu. Only then did Wang Jian succeed in attacking Chu.
There was no chaotic charge like in operas.
anwhile, a face-off tested the morale of the army.
During the battle, the two sides would either fight verbally or physically. The morale of the winner would increase greatly, and the loser would inevitably lose their morale. This provided a favorable opportunity for the winner to attack.
This thod was to find an opportunity to attack and reduce casualties as much as possible to win at the lowest price.
No army would send a huge wave of soldiers. It took a thousand days to raise them, and the cost was unimaginable, Therefore, the main general often cherished their soldiers and tried their best to reduce casualties.
It had beco an unwritten rule to challenge the opponent before the battle.
Victory depended on one’s ability.
ng Duo rode among the thousands of troops and shouted, “Don’t you people from the Central Plains pay attention to courtesy before resorting to force? l, ng Duo, have galloped on the battlefield and respect the young hero of King Yue Fei. Today, I’ll do as the Romans do and give King Yue Fei a big gift.”
He deliberately emphasized the words “do as the Romans do”, making him look extrely arrogant. It was as if all the rivers and mountains in the Great Zhou had already submitted to his cavalry.
He imdiately angered the You army on the other side.
General Ning Yuan even retorted, “The Northern Barbarians eat raw at and drinks blood. You simply don’t know what’s good for you in front of your grandfather. Co, co, co. Kowtow a few tis to your grandfather so that I can teach you what it ans to do as the Romans do…”
The army imdiately burst into laughter.
Both sides imdiately cursed.
When the You army scolded others, they would first “greet” their entire family. Then, they would pull out their eighteen generations of ancestors and “greet” them eight to ten tis without any repetition. Clearly, the Northern Barbarians were no match for them and were imdiately defeated.
The You army had won a complete victory. The drums shook the sky, and the soldiers jeered into the sky..
