After the third commander came forward to receive the order, Ye An suddenly discovered that the third commander was his immediate boss this time, Fan Yong, the bulk comfort envoy! As for the person next to him, it goes without saying that he was the captain of the cavalry, Cao Yi.
Already.
Looking at the imperial edict in his hand, Ye An finally came to his senses at this time. That's not right! He was obviously tricked by Liu E. Although as a deputy pacifier, this job was big enough, but the so-called pacifier was a big deal.
Bijiba's existence, in a sense, means that he is "working for free".
More importantly, I have the mission of Shaoqing Sinong Temple. This year I will promote potatoes and sweet potatoes in spring and summer, and I also need to prepare to expand my business scale...
Obviously Liu E didn't want to stay in Tokyo, so she used this excuse to go out. Being an official in Dongcheng and being an envoy abroad were completely different things.
Ye An, who was familiar with the official system of the Song Dynasty, immediately felt that this was Liu E's "little shoes" for him. The title of deputy envoy was of little use. He was just checking for Fan Yong and filling in his vacancies, while also serving as an advisor.
Of course, you may have to lead the troops together with Cao Yi... It can be said to be the most thankless assignment, because the credit belongs to the envoy Fan Yong, and the military merit belongs to Cao Yi. He is a soy sauce existence, and by the way, he can also give Fan Yong
Yongbei takes the blame.
But this also made Ye An a little excited and happy. He didn't know when he left the court, but he just followed the courtiers and walked mechanically outside the palace.
He had traveled a lot in the great rivers and mountains of the past. The seat of the Zhenrong Army was Guyuan in later generations. He had been there several times to visit his old comrades, but what does Guyuan look like now?
Guyuan's terrain is relatively special, located in the center of the triangle area of Xi'an, Lanzhou, and Yinchuan. Needless to say, Xi'an was Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, Jingzhao Prefecture in the Song Dynasty, and Lanzhou is now under the control of the Song Dynasty.
In fact, Zhenrong Army belongs to Qinfeng Road, not Yongxing Army Road where Huanzhou is located, but compared to the terrain, Zhenrong Army is very close to Huanzhou, and to the west of Huanzhou, Puchuan River is the boundary of Huanzhou
.
Liu E was considered smart in doing so, and this time it was not as simple as just using the security army and the Dingbian army. He even needed to mobilize troops from the Yongxing military route.
Why was Cao Yi the military commander of the Zhenrong Army instead of the general commander? Because the military commander could temporarily dispatch and command the Huaide Army and Deshun Army near the Zhenrong Army, which could be said to have great power.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the successor to the famous founding general Cao Bin, I'm afraid he wouldn't have gained such great power. Now the only generals who are close to Liu E are the Cao family.
Cao Bin is gone, but Cao Bin's son Cao Wei is the backbone of the Cao family and a famous general in the Song Dynasty. He is one of the few generals who can stand alone.
And he is also the future daughter-in-law of Zhao Zhen and the father of Queen Cao. The Cao family is about to usher in the best era. Cao Yi is Cao Wei's nephew, the late founder of Guangping County, and Cao who became Tongping Zhangshi.
Bright son.
Compared with ordinary general families, the Cao family rarely has internal strife. On the contrary, it is very united. Due to the role of family ties, it can be said that they are a prosperous existence.
And next to me, Cao Yi, who looks like a scholar, has the ability of a warrior all over his body. He speaks and acts without any sloppiness, and there is not much formality. Even when he crosses his arms, he looks quite heroic and neat.
I don't know whether it's because Ye An is slightly different from traditional civil servants, or because of his ability to kill soldiers. Most of the generals in the Song Dynasty have a good impression of him. Of course, Ye An thinks it's more because of the military skills he carries.
Lord.
Ordinary civil servants do not have any titles, but military generals are different. Those who can become generals are usually after the founding generals of the country. Anyone who knows the methods of the old Zhao family knows that in order to win over these people, they naturally give high titles to them.
They felt the "warmth" from Zhao Songtian's family.
In the eyes of Cao Yi and many of his disciples, Ye An's existence was almost the same as theirs, and his duties were the same as those of the Sinong Temple Shaoqing, but he was younger.
However, almost all the generals and relatives of the nobles believed that Ye An would probably stop at the third rank of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, and as for the dispatch, he should be the corresponding minister of a certain department.
Because this is the practice in the court, and this idea just met Ye An's expectations...
For civil servants, Ye An, who passed the imperial examination and wrote "Theory of Six Kingdoms", should be regarded as a civil servant, and he was an out-and-out civil servant. Why did Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian not want Ye An to go to Huanzhou?
It's to protect him.
As for the military commanders, Ye An was "their person", which completely went against Ye An's original intention at the beginning. Logically speaking, he should be a lonely minister who was not rare to civil servants and disliked by military commanders. How could he suddenly become one?
The object of traction between the two parties?
Later, when Qin Mumu explained this matter, he understood that everything was due to his age and merit.
When a person's value is shown to others, in a sense, he already has a bargaining chip for others to win over. It is precisely because of Ye An's own youth that he has countless possibilities in the future.
This allows him to be attracted by all parties.
Is this considered a mistake?
This was the case with Cao Yi in front of him, affectionately pulling him to kiss his nephew. In his words, Li Zunxu and he were playmates who had known each other since childhood. However, because Li Zunxu was awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief Prince-in-law, it was difficult for him to be with her as a relative.
The general came and went more often, so there was less contact between the two.
Hearing what Cao Yi said, Ye An didn't rush to be friendly, but became more vigilant in his heart, and used Li Zunxu to build relationships. He obviously had other agendas.
After seeing Fan Yong's frown, Ye An knew why Cao Yi was pulling him. Civil servants and military generals were not dealing with each other that way. Cao Yi was pulling him to avoid being "left out" by himself and Fan Yong.
"The embarrassment.
Because of the "story" of Taizu and Taizong, the deliberate confrontation between civil and military officials in the Song Dynasty can be regarded as a kind of political correctness.
Ye An smiled bitterly, stepped forward quickly and crossed his hands to Fan Yong and said: "Fan Shizhi, Changsheng is polite. This is because the name of Fan Shizhi has been heard in the capital, and Changsheng does not dare to disturb him, so he will accuse him."
Speaking of Ye An treating each other with courtesy among civil servants, Fan Yong's face softened and he showed a warm smile and said: "Ye Hou is very promising at a young age, and I have heard a lot about it. What he said in the court today was really shocking.
Criticize the evils of the times!"
Ye An didn't dare to say anything. Seeing that he kept looking at Cao Yi who was beside him with twinkling eyes, he smiled slightly and said: "Fan Shizhi, now you are the chief envoy and Changsheng is the deputy envoy. Everything is based on Fan Shizhi.
However, Ye An is not familiar with military affairs, and Cao Jiedu is a man who knows military matters. They can conspire together in state affairs, so they can be considered as helping each other in the same boat!"
Seeing Ye An bringing the steps to the foot, Cao Yi immediately came back to her senses, smiled and cupped her hands at Fan Yong and said: "What Ye Hou said is that this time, Fan Shizhi, Cao will respect you, and please invite Fan Yong."
Don’t hesitate to teach me!”
Fan Yong had no intention of rejecting Cao Yi. He just couldn't speak first because of the conflict between civil and military forces. Now that Ye An has become the "middle man", how could he not know what he meant? He smiled and said: "Cao Jiedu is polite.
I have always heard of your majesty’s reputation on the battlefield, so to put down the Huanzhou Rebellion this time, Cao Jiedu still needs to use his troops to plan things!”
Cao Yi also didn't dare to say anything. The three of them were now officially "meeting", but Fan Yong knew that it seemed like a word and an attitude, but how difficult it was, especially in the matter of using troops. Civil and military matters
There are many conflicts between them, and it is a good thing to have Ye An to mediate them.
But the way he looked at Ye An was even more profound. In his opinion, Ye An was quite skillful and had the style of a seasoned veteran. When he thought of his analysis of Huanzhou Land in the court, he choked.
As the privy envoy, Cao Lili could not refute, which shows that it is not unreasonable for him to be valued highly by Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian.
