Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 269
Chapter 269 Occasionally Enter The Barracks
Wei Yuanyao said, “These two things are equally important. This subordinate has a method of perfecting both of them.”
“Oh?” Yin Ji asked curiously, “Tell me.”
Wei Yuanyao said, “After the lord intercepts the army, Yin Mu and Yin Che on the frontline will definitely fail. At this moment, the army is at a loss and the lord can personally lead the troops to rescue them. At this time, this subordinate will contact the old lord and the remnants of the Fu family to force Yin Mu to abdicate.” And now that the army is in the hands of the Lord, Yin Mu will abdicate no matter what. You should be the emperor, and you should be able to make a great contribution to the battle. You really have killed many birds with one stone. ”
Yin Ji thought about it carefully and said, “You mean that I should first intercept the army, kill the generals of the army, or bewitch him for my own use, and then bring the army to the southern border to fight?”
Wei Yuanyao nodded and said, “Exactly.”
Yin Ji hesitated for a while and asked him, “But in the Battle of the Southern Region, Wu Country and Southern Barbarians worked together. Even if I brought troops over, I might not be able to win. If I lose, let alone lose the battle merit, my old battalion will probably be cold-hearted towards me.”
Wei Yuanyao said, “Could it be that the Lord wants to negotiate with Southern Barbarians after you seize power?”
“The Li Kingdom’s troops are not enough to fight against the two great powers working together. It seems that I can only negotiate this path. However, after the peace talks, the Southern Barbarians will definitely exploit our southern territory’s civilians. Our Li Kingdom still needs to pay tribute year after year. This is also something I do not want to see.”
Wei Yuanyao listened to his words and after some careful consideration, he said, “Then why didn’t the Lord follow his subordinate’s advice?” Although Li Country’s military strength was insufficient, its weapons were more sophisticated than the other two countries. Moreover, the lord could even kidnap the ninth prince, Yin Xun. With him in hand, the lord would have inexhaustible wealth. “Master, don’t underestimate the role of money. Whether it’s marching for war or plotting to usurp power, money is always in the decisive position.”
Yin Ji lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before he said, “Alright, then we will lead the troops and go over to intercept Yin Mu’s army. However, without that child, I cannot take Yin Xun hostage. Therefore, I will also send more men to find Shen Wujie and that child.”
“Yes!” Wei Yuanyao replied, “This subordinate will do it now.”

Three days later, Yin Mu and the others finally arrived at Yin Che’s camp in Chaisang. At that time, Yin Che was riding his horse to patrol the city. From afar, he saw Yin Mu and the others rushing over on horseback. All of them added together, there were no more than a hundred people.
Yin Che immediately went down to welcome him. After sitting down, Yin Mu first asked, “Fourth brother, you’ve been stationed here for a long time. Has the other party made any new movements recently?”
Yin Che revealed a slightly worried expression as he said, “Royal Brother, I lost three battles with Southern Barbarians a month ago. I can no longer fight anymore. I can only defend this Chai Sang bitterly and wait for the army to come to help. But why did Royal Brother only bring over a hundred Qingqi with him this time? This is a war, not a sightseeing trip. Royal Brother …”
Yin Mu saw that Yin Che seemed to be a little angry. He couldn’t help but sigh and say, “How many years has it been? You’re still so impatient. I naturally brought the army with me and am still walking on the road. I and the generals just hurried over by water and wanted to discuss a plan with you first.”
“So that’s the case.” Yin Che felt relieved and said to Yin Mu, “I’m impatient. I hope Brother Huang can forgive me.”
Yin Mu chuckled and looked at Yin Xun, who had been sitting on the side without saying a word. “Look at Zisu. He’s so many years younger than you, but he’s a hundred times calmer than you. He doesn’t show any emotions of joy or anger. You should learn more from him,” he said.
Yin Xun tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, “Brother Huang, you’re flattering me. I’m not as calm as you say.”
“How can I be flattered?” Yin Mu looked at him and said, “Ever since Zi Chi said the first sentence, your expression hasn’t changed.”
Yin Xun looked at him calmly and felt that Yin Mu was praising him a little too much today.
“Alright, alright, I know!” Yin Che waved his hand and said, “You guys are all powerful. I only know how to fight. I’m an old coarse man and can’t learn your tricks. Now, Royal Brother, tell me, how should we fight when the army arrives? Furthermore, when Royal Brother said that he wanted to personally conquer, I sent a letter to you to oppose you. If you come like this, aren’t you afraid that the Yu Kingdom will take advantage of the void and attack from the east?”
“Of course, I thought about what you said. Didn’t I recall Bai Xu and ask him to handle the government affairs on his behalf?”
Yin Che raised his eyebrows and said, “Strange to say, Brother Huang seems to have a lot of trust in Bai Xu. However, Brother Huang of Bai Xu’s family in Luoyang didn’t send anyone to monitor the kidnapping, right? I’m not afraid of Bai Xu …”
“Then what do you think of Bai Xu fighting you for so long?” Yin Mu interrupted him and asked.
“But in terms of strategy, Bai Xu’s tricks and schemes are all good. He is indeed a good strategist.” Yin Che said, “Losing the battle is indeed a matter of strength. It has nothing to do with him. Without him, we wouldn’t even be able to last three battles. To be honest, when Royal Brother called him back to the court, I was still somewhat reluctant to let him go.”
Yin Mu shook his head and said, “I’m not asking you what you think of his stratagem. I’m asking you if you think he’s against us and if he’s wholeheartedly loyal to me.”
Yin Che thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Bai Xu is extremely loyal. He is absolutely loyal to Royal Brother.”
“Then why are you worried about me handing over the government affairs to him?” Yin Mu smiled and said, “Not to mention, I didn’t completely kidnap Bai Xu’s family. Didn’t I also have a Bai Junzhuo beside me?”
Hearing this, Yin Xun’s heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly raised his head to look at Yin Mu.
However, he saw that Yin Mu was smiling casually, as if what he said just now was just an ordinary joke or a slip of the tongue.
Yin Mu patted Yin Xun and said, “Zisu, don’t you think so?”
Yin Mu looked at him. Sure enough, he was joking. Bai Junzhuo was his woman, how could she be used as a tool to threaten others?
The men in the tent were chatting and plotting. Outside, Fu Mingyue brought people to patrol the camp, wanting to personally appease the wounded and establish the prestige of her empress.
Bai Junzhuo was also following behind her and patrolling the camp with her, but he fell behind as he walked. Because some wounded soldiers stopped her, he asked her, “Are you the Ninth Princess?”
Bai Junzhuo wondered how this person recognized her, but before she could answer him, she was attracted by his exposed wound. She looked at the wound carefully and asked with a frown, “Your wound is purulent. Why don’t you treat it? Where’s the military doctor?”
The wounded soldier shook his head and said, “We suffered heavy casualties in this war. There are not enough military doctors. Those like me are minor injuries. Even suppuration won’t be a problem.”
“Who said it wouldn’t be a problem!” Bai Junzhuo didn’t have time to argue with him. Since he said that he didn’t need to treat this minor injury, there must be many other injured people like him who didn’t pay attention to his own injuries. She immediately said, “Take me to the barracks.”
The wounded soldier was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly nodded and turned around to take her to the wounded barracks.
As the wounded soldier walked, he asked, “You are indeed the Ninth Princess, aren’t you?”
Bai Junzhuo sized him up and estimated that he was an ordinary wounded soldier. He nodded and said, “Yes.”
The wounded soldier said, “I have long heard that the Ninth Princess has recovered from the plague. She was fortunate enough to see the Ninth Princess from afar. Now that His Majesty has brought the Ninth Princess here, we are all relieved. With the Ninth Princess’ medical skills, I believe we will be fine.”
Bai Junzhuo opened her mouth. Actually, she wanted to say that injuries were no worse than plagues. As long as there was a way, the shortage of manpower could be solved. However, this was a war. There weren’t enough military doctors. No matter how good Bai Junzhuo’s medical skills were, she couldn’t be busy alone.
However, if she said this, it would definitely hurt him. A low mood was not conducive to wound healing, so she decided not to say anything. However, we must find a way to solve this problem.
When they arrived at the barracks, the wounded soldier who brought Bai Junzhuo said, “Everyone, look, the Ninth Princess is here. Our injuries are all cured!”
The wounded soldiers had also heard the legend that Bai Junzhuo had no choice but to face the plague in Chang’an City. They all turned to look at him, and some even cheered.
Two military doctors who were bandaging others also ran over and said, “Greetings, Ninth Princess.”
“Hurry up,” Bai Junzhuo helped the two of them up. Judging from their attire, they knew that they were military doctors. Seeing that there were only these two people carrying medicine boxes in the entire barracks, he was shocked. “You two military doctors aren’t the only ones here, are you?”
The military doctor immediately shook his head and said, “No, it’s just that there are too many injured people. Only the two of us are assigned to this tent. The other military doctors are all in other tents.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and asked, “I saw many people with minor injuries that weren’t dressed for treatment. Is it because they don’t have enough manpower or medicinal ingredients?”
“There are two reasons.”
“It’s spring,” Bai Jun thought for a while. “We can bring people to the surrounding mountains and pick some new herbs in the woods. Although the herbs aren’t as powerful as the ones we brought, they can relieve the symptoms a little. As for the shortage of manpower …”
Bai Junzhuo turned around and looked at the injured people who were all looking at her. Looking at their hopeful gazes, she knew that these people wanted to live well and fight the enemy again, instead of staying in the barracks, becoming a burden to the army.
Bai Junzhuo walked slowly amidst the wounded soldiers. Seeing that those who were slightly injured had hands and feet, and could walk and move, he suddenly came up with an idea.
She said to those people, “From tomorrow onwards, I will go out with the military doctors to collect herbs. In the afternoon, I will teach you some simple and practical medical skills. Small injuries have to be treated, and you will be the ones to treat them yourself.”
The wounded soldiers all revealed happy expressions. Some of them were still lying on their beds, kneeling down to express their thanks. Bai Junzhuo hurriedly said, “Don’t move, and don’t thank me. This matter depends on the joint efforts of all the military doctors. Everyone, remember this matter in your hearts first. When the battle is won, you guys go thank the military doctors.”
The military doctor standing beside Bai Junzhuo hurriedly said, “This idea was obviously thought up by the Ninth Princess. Of course, it’s still the Ninth Princess who has to thank me.”
“Stop talking nonsense,” Bai Junzhuo said to the two of them. “Leave a military doctor to take care of the wounded in each tent. The other military doctors will follow me out to look for herbs. Let’s go now. There’s no time to delay!”
“Yes,” said one of the doctors hurriedly. “I’ll go to the other tents and inform them.”
