He held his helmet in one hand and his sword in the other, walking silently on the main road extending in all directions of the fortress.
"General." The soldiers passing by recognized him and greeted him one after another.
"Hello everyone." Huo Ling answered patiently.
"General," the guards around him stared nervously around, "I wonder which battalion you are going to?"
"Why are you panicking?" Huo Linghun looked around carelessly, "I'm just walking around."
Dingxi County has been fighting for so long, and there have been many disadvantages, but there are also some advantages.
Almost all the people who used to be active in the fortress to inquire about information have disappeared.
Either they were withdrawn by their masters, or they died on the battlefield.
The fortress in front of you is very peaceful and peaceful.
While walking and walking, Huo Ling chatted with the soldiers passing by from time to time and asked about each other's situation.
After going round and round, the group of people arrived at the military medical camp before they knew it.
Huo Ling stopped.
"Xiao Li," he told the little black guard next to him, "go and call Mrs. Zhang. I am going to meet all the military doctors."
"Yes!" Li, the errand boy, hurriedly mounted his horse and ran away.
Generally speaking, for the convenience of management, most of the military doctors in the fortress live in the military medical camp.
But Mrs. Zhang is an exception.
In order to avoid suspicion, she has always lived in a house by herself.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves sounded.
Mrs. Zhang rushed over with her little apprentice, sweating profusely, carrying a medicine box on her back.
Turning over and dismounting, she quickly looked Huo Ling up and down: "General, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Ha ha.
Huo Ling patted his chest and said, "Madam, please rest assured, I will be fine. I came here just to meet all of you who have saved so many brothers."
"It's okay," a group of military doctors, including Mrs. Zhang, all breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Ling nodded and looked towards where the two came from.
"I remember that you have a black dog, and its name seems to be Dahei. I should remember it correctly, right?"
"Where is it?" Huo Ling asked.
"This..." Mrs. Zhang hesitated.
"Back to General, it's called Dahei. The reason why I didn't follow him is because it was sleeping in."
Mrs. Zhang explained cheerfully, "The fortress is quite clean now. There is no mess like before. Plus I was in a hurry to go out, so I didn't wake it up on purpose."
Huo Ling was noncommittal and his eyes fell on Mrs. Zhang's young apprentice.
"Is what your master said true?"
The young apprentice couldn't help but puff up his chest, but when he caught Madam Zhang's warning gaze from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
After hesitating for a while, he finally confessed.
"Back to General, Master is lying. During the counterattack a while ago, Dahei went out to fight with us and was killed in the battle."
Everyone was silent for a while, but no one looked surprised.
"Xiao Li," after a while, Huo Ling suddenly ordered: "Find a little black dog and bring it to Mrs. Zhang within three days. There must be no mistake."
"Go now."
"Yes! General." Xiao Li immediately climbed on the horse and turned around to leave without even frowning.
Entered the military medical camp.
Huo Ling stood on the stage and looked over one by one, as if he wanted to remember them all.
It's just that military doctors are difficult to train, and they have to go to the battlefield from time to time. The tasks are arduous and dangerous. Therefore, the number of them has always been small.
"Thank you for your hard work, doctors."
He suddenly bowed deeply.
"On behalf of all the soldiers, I would like to thank you."
"It is precisely because of your tireless efforts to rescue us that the frontline soldiers have no worries when they rush to the front line, and those unfortunately injured brothers can survive on the battlefield."
"It can be said that behind every battle, you have a share of credit."
"Thank you all, General!"

Feudal society was very hierarchical. To bow with the dignity of the Duke of Huoling Town and say such words was a big deal.
All the military doctors stood up excitedly, their faces flushed with excitement.
"Thank you for the compliment, General. The glory is not worth mentioning. It is just the duty of my subordinates."
"That's right. If you want to win the war, you have to rely on the unity of all the fortress soldiers and even the entire empire. It can be said that everyone is indispensable. The subordinates are just doing their best."
…
Huo Ling listened silently, chatted with them for a while, and then asked each military doctor what they were short of.
As long as someone spoke, he would ask his guards to write it down one by one. Then, like Mrs. Zhang's black dog, they would set a solution and a time limit for the solution.
After a long time, Huo Ling looked around and asked, "Does anyone else have questions?"
Mrs. Zhang stood up when she saw no one around her.
"General, Xiliang is ambitious and determined to destroy me. They will come back sooner or later. A war in the future may be inevitable."
Everyone nodded.
Madam Zhang continued.
"Nowadays, the military doctors in the fortress are obviously short of manpower. This was evident during the last counterattack. There was medicine on hand but it was too late to use it. As a result, some soldiers did not receive timely treatment."
"Therefore, my subordinates suggest cultivating more military doctors."
Huo Ling nodded, "I think so too, the general. The problem is that there are not many young people in the fortress willing to study medicine."
To study medicine, you first need to be literate, which in itself blocks a large number of people.
In addition, Yun Chui's military merits are only awarded to generals who go to the battlefield.
No matter how great a military doctor's contribution is, the court can only reward him with some silver. It is impossible to get promoted to a higher rank like other soldiers.
This is the reason why the soldiers have no interest in studying medicine.
"General," Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject, "I read the latest newspaper, and there was a sentence in it that touched me deeply."
oh?
"I wonder what it means?" A group of people became curious.
cough!
Mrs. Zhang coughed slightly.
"It says that women can hold up for half a day. Women can do most of the things that men can do."
"Why don't you try asking the girls outside the fortress if they would like to learn medical skills?"
Rather than letting them go back to their hometown to get married when they are older, and then godfather looks after their children, this is a way out.

The other military doctors murmured for a while, but soon calmed down.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Madam Zhang’s current medical skills are seen by everyone.
She can cure what they can cure; what Mrs. Zhang can't cure, they can't do anything either. So there's nothing to blame.
Ha ha.
Huo Ling came back to his senses and couldn't help laughing.
"Can a woman hold up half the sky? I don't know who wrote this article, but she dared to say such groundbreaking words. If the old masters of Xingji City saw it, they would be scolded bloody."
"But..." He changed his tone, "If my mother sees it, I think she will become a confidant."
Everyone below was stunned and quickly reacted.
Huo Ling's mother, Princess Yiguang, was a top general of the empire.
Her military rank was achieved by leading the army on the battlefield to fight with swords and swords, which is a real achievement in combat.
Including Emperor Changxing, no one in Yunchui dared to say in front of her that women are inferior to men.
"This can be considered." Huo Ling first set the tone, "We are on the frontier here, and survival is more important than any bullshit rules. The girls are careful, so being a life-saving doctor shouldn't be a problem for them."
Everyone couldn't help but nod.
During the previous Dingxi counterattack, in the villages outside the fortress, the common people in Dingxi City, men, women, old and young, picked up tools and went into battle to kill the enemy. The girls, let alone saving people, even charging into the battle and cutting people down, no one was worse than the other.
"I will go back and plan carefully in a while and implement it as soon as possible."
"That's right." At this point, Huo Ling slapped his head: "I almost forgot to say one thing."
"The Ministry of Industry and the Imperial Physician ordered a document to be sent over. They said that because the medical skills in the border areas were relatively backward, many soldiers or border residents used a large amount of medicine. As a result, minor illnesses turned into serious illnesses, and even the big doctors failed to cure them. Therefore, they planned to recruit a group of people.
Military doctors have returned to Star City for training."
