The border and the capital are two thousand miles apart. It takes ten days to send troops to the capital day and night. After the imperial court issued an order, it will take twenty days to go back and forth.

The battlefield changed rapidly. As the chief general of the border army, he had the power to take action first and then report. Everything was waiting for the imperial court to issue an order, and the daylily was cold.

Therefore, the chief general who is in charge of the 100,000 border troops must be the one trusted by the emperor. If the emperor is too suspicious, or the chief general who is in charge of the 100,000 border troops has a strange intention, it will inevitably lead to a great disaster.

The new Duke of Pingguo He Qi has been the commander of the imperial guards since he was sixteen years old and served in the imperial guards. When Emperor Xuanping was still the prince, he was very close to He Qi.

Later, Emperor Xuanping was made the crown prince, and He Qi volunteered to become the commander of the Eastern Palace Guards. Cheng Jinrong and Emperor Xuanping were as close as brothers. Emperor Xuanping's trust in Cheng Jin Rong He Qi and his wife was well known.

After He Qi was in charge of the border army for half a year, he submitted a memorial to the emperor, asking for the replacement of weapons and armor, and asking for tens of good horses. Emperor Xuanping agreed without saying a word.

This is He Qi. If it were other military generals, how could such holy relatives be there!

Now that the Tatar Khan Batu personally led his troops to invade the border, He Qi led the border troops to fight hard to kill the enemy. In just a few months, more than ten major and minor battles were fought, with both losses and wins. Especially this great defeat, the court officials were even more shocked.

However, only three days later, the border sent another military newspaper. He Qi led his troops to repel the Tatars. Two days later, the border sent another war report. Batu led his troops to attack the border military camp again...

These reports of the battle were alarming.

The person who is most confident in He Qi is Emperor Xuanping.

The Marquis of Pingxi was about to lead troops to the border to reinforce. Emperor Xuanping in a deep voice: "The border war is urgent, and war reports are delivered every day. Although I am anxious, I know that fighting is not something that can be achieved overnight. Winning and losing are commonplace in military affairs."

"After you go to the border, you will follow He Qi's orders. You will also give He Qi these words to him."

"I believe in him and will definitely defeat the Tatar cavalry! Half a year is not enough, so it will last year. If you can't win a year, you will fight for two or three years. No matter when, he will be the leader of the border army!"

This speech made Pingxi Hou feel excited.

As a military general, it would be worthwhile to be able to win the trust of the emperor even if he died in battle... Bah Bah Bah Bah! Nonsense! He Qi is a natural general and will definitely lead troops to defeat Tatars.

The Marquis of Pingxi bowed his hands and accepted the order seriously: "I will receive the order!"

...

The Marquis of Pingxi quickly led 20,000 soldiers to set off.

The army set out, and as usual, some medical officers were to accompany him. The Imperial Hospital Office sent a total of ten medical officers, and Cheng Jinghong was also one of them.

At this time, it is quite risky to go to the border army with the army.

Cheng Jinghong took the initiative to go, but no one in the Cheng family opposed it. Ye Qingyun sighed with some regret: "It's a pity that I can't go with you."

Cheng Jinghong laughed in silence. He hugged his wife and whispered: "I'll leave for at least half a year, or as long as one or two years, maybe longer. If you are alone at home, if you are lonely, go home more often, or go back to your parents' home often."

The nickname of Ye Qingyun and Cheng Jinghong is Xiaomi. He is three years old this year. He is so handsome that his eyebrows and eyes are very beautiful, and he looks very much like his biological mother.

Cheng Jinghong loved his daughter like a treasure. The ones he couldn't bear to part with this difference were his wife and daughter.

Ye Qingyun raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Don't worry! I can take good care of myself and my daughter. But you, if you don't have any skills, be your medical officer calmly and honestly, treat injuries and save people."

Only Cheng Jinghong could taste the concern of his beloved wife for him from these words. He smiled gently: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I will take good care of myself and I must come back to see you all."

Before leaving, Cheng Jinghong said goodbye to his parents.

My mother Zhao's advice was similar to Ye Qingyun. In short, you have to take care of yourself when saving people.

Cheng Fang thought a lot and whispered to his eldest son: "Your second uncle is a medical officer in the border army. After you go, you can go and find your second uncle first. When you have free time, don't forget to visit Jinrong."

Speaking of which, Cheng Jinrong's safety is quite worrying.

The court received the war report before, and the Zuo Army suffered a defeat, and one border town was in trouble. I heard that many people died. Fortunately, it was not Guyuan Town. Otherwise, Cheng Jinrong, the wife of the Duke of Pingguo and the miracle doctor of the border, would have been the first to bear the brunt of the brutality.

Cheng Jinghong responded one by one.

On this side, the Duke of Pingguo's mansion was even more worried.

Mrs. Pingguo’s wife started fasting and eating vegetarian food half a month ago. Pingguo and He Song wrote letters to the border, and each gave advice to He Qi.

Cheng Jinyi was worried about the safety of his husband, and also about Cheng Jinrong and his four sons. He mustered up the courage to ask the grandmother and wanted to go to the border with his brother.

The lady sighed and patted the back of her granddaughter-in-law's hand: "I know you miss Silang and Jinrong and his son. My old woman also cares about her very much."

"If there is no war in the border, if you want to go, I will not stop you. However, the border is not peaceful and people are in panic. You will not be able to help you even if you go, but it will cause trouble."

"Besides, the child is not yet a hundred days old, and it is the time to need his own mother. Do you want to leave the child and go alone, or do you want such a young child to travel with you?"

Cheng Jinyi was speechless and her eyes soon turned red.

The lady sighed again: "Don't be anxious first, wait a minute. When the war is settled and the border is victorious, it will not be too late to go there. At that time, the child will be older, so it's okay to take him on the road. In the future, you will lead the child and Jinrong and his son to live in the same place, taking care of each other, and you can always get together with Silang."

Cheng Jinyi responded with red eyes.

...

After the army set off, the border war reports still flew like snowflakes.

I won the battle today and suffered a defeat tomorrow. A few days later, a thousand Tatar cavalry were killed. A few days later, a few days later, a sneak attack on the military camp was attacked by the Tatar cavalry.

The battle reports were frequent, and everyone's hearts were ups and downs.

Empress Dowager Pei also began to fast and eat vegetarian food, silently praying for the border in her heart, and even praying for her daughter and son-in-law.

Guyuan Town is so close to the border and is most susceptible to war.

A few days later, Cheng Jinrong wrote a letter last month. Empress Dowager Pei was so scared that she couldn't sleep or eat, fearing that she would hear any unfavorable news. However, this worry could not be mentioned to anyone.

Empress Pei is thin every day.

Emperor Xuanping was busy dealing with political affairs every day, and was worried about border wars, so he quickly lost weight.

Queen Liang saw it and was anxious. She personally cooked midnight snacks every night, and only then did she feel at ease after watching Emperor Xuanping eat them bit by bit.

The army marched for a month and arrived at the border.

The border army was in an emergency, and it was time for Pingxi Hou to lead troops to reinforce.

He Qi led all the generals to welcome the Marquis of Pingxi into the Central Army camp. First, he received a routine order, and then the generals held a meeting to discuss military information.
