"Where does Nephew Ye Xian think Gan Liangzhi is?!"
Being in the Cao family is not like being in the Wang family. This is where the generals are, and they speak and do things freely. Even if they invite you to drink tea, they will watch you drink the tea into your mouth before they give up.
And now Cao Wei said his "examination questions" without hesitation. Yes, this was an exam from the beginning, an exam presided over by Cao Wei. No wonder the atmosphere was so tense that Sun Laizi and others
The worshiper stood quietly at the edge of the flower hall.
Ye An looked at the expressions of these people with hands on their hips, and was very suspicious that Cao Wei would suddenly throw a cup to show off...
"The younger generation believes that the key to Ganliang lies in its geographical advantage. These two states are the strategic points of the world, and the country's vassal guards must not lose anything! In the second year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Hussar General Huo Qubing to lead his army to the west twice to capture Hexi.
Expelling the Xiongnu, he controlled the entire Hexi region and formed a corridor, so that the northwest gateway was in the hands of strong men! Later, four counties in Hexi were established to open up the road to the Western Regions. This move seemed to be for the Silk Road wealth, but in fact it cut off the Huns.
His right arm has great talents! It also shows that the two states of Gansu and Liang attach great importance to the Central Plains and cannot be missed!"
Cao Wei nodded, looked at Ye An, smiled and then shook his head: "That's right, but these are things in books, the opinions of civil servants, and records in history books! I'm not here to listen to you.
Regarding these, tell me about your own things!”
At this time, Ye An was like a student facing the questions from the division commander. You must not be careless in military affairs. In front of the experienced generals on the battlefield, you have no cleverness to show off.
"The two prefectures of Ganliang and Gansu are very important to us in the Song Dynasty. This place is the gateway to the northwest. Our government has jurisdiction over Xiliang Prefecture and the five counties of Linggu Zang, Shenniao, Panhe, Changsong and Jialin. It is the key to the defense of the northwest.
, it can not only stop the Uighurs and Tubo in Xizhou, but also suppress the Dangxiang. If the Dangxiang invades Qinfeng Road, the two states of Gansu and Liang can quickly send troops to check and balance.
The two prefectures of Lingqing and Lingqing can arrive at dawn and dusk!"
Following Ye An's words, Cao Wei's eyes finally softened, and he nodded with satisfaction and said: "What my nephew said is true. This is how important the two states of Gansu and Liang are to the country. It can be seen that these are already more important than the country."
The harsh Confucianism among them is much stronger, but this is just an appearance. What’s more important is that the existence of the two states of Gansu and Liang is a kind of deterrence, deterring the party items, deterring the Uighurs in Xizhou, and even making the Tubo tribes not dare to act recklessly!"
But Cao Wei soon changed the subject and said: "To tell you the truth, the Tubo tribes set up the Xiliang Prefecture Zhebu Ge Zhi in Xiliang Prefecture. Pan Luozhi, the leader of the Liugu tribe in Xiliang Prefecture, and others have the power to dominate the country.
As for the forces deployed by party members, they have penetrated the state boundaries! The chaos in the two states of Ganliang and Ganliang is far beyond your imagination! When you go to Ganliang, you have the appointment of the court and the name of the country, but the real power you can really use
Very little!"
Cao Wei's words made Ye An's heart sink to the bottom. He originally thought that the two states of Ganliang and Ganliang under the control of the Song Dynasty still had at least some strength, but he did not expect that foreign enemy forces had already intervened so deeply.
The land of Ganliang was important to the Song Dynasty, and it was also important to Dangxiang, Tubo, and even the Xizhou Uighurs. The Song Dynasty was slack in attitude, so it gave opportunities to foreigners.
Glancing at Cao Yi, Cao Wei coughed repeatedly and then closed the distance between himself and Ye An and whispered: "If the saint insists on letting you go to Ganliang, you have to be careful. If you go there voluntarily, you should stick to Liangzhou.
But Ganzhou is... not allowed!"
In Ye An's shocked eyes, Cao Wei tightly grasped Ye An's right arm: "In the 13th year of Yizong's reign, the Uighurs captured Ganzhou, set up tents, and established a khanate. Although its power was unstable, it was still spread all over the country.
In Ganzhou, the imperial court has never issued an edict, so the power of the upper and lower court officials should be unknown!"
A surge of anger rose from Ye An's heart and went straight to Tianling Gai. He knew that the Song Dynasty was slacking on Ganliang, and he also knew that external forces took advantage of the situation, but he never thought that the two states of Ganliang and Ganliang, which were so important to the Song Dynasty, would be corrupted.
That’s it!
"The country has unified the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years, but they don't know the importance of Gansu and Liangzhou at all? How can they be allowed to rot like this?! All the civil and military talents of the entire dynasty have been learned in the belly of a dog?!"
Seeing Ye An yelling and swearing, Cao Yi beside him was shocked, while Cao Wei looked up to the sky and laughed. Such laughter also caused him to cough repeatedly.
"Ahem, cough, cough... Well done, well done! The civil and military ministers are full of knowledge. Since Ganliang is so far away, the cost of sending reinforcements is staggering. It is better to give it up. With such extra money and troops, they can stick to the Central Plains. Little did they know that it is better to give up.
The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the border is in chaos! You Ye Changsheng is actually willing to go. I was really surprised when I heard about it at first. I thought that Da Lang accidentally made friends and met a fool! Now it seems that Da Lang is lucky! Boy, I will be here tomorrow
Drag this sick body into the palace to meet the saint, and ask the saint to send Dalang to Ganliang. Boy, do you dare to set foot in Liangzhou and regain Ganzhou to reach the ancient Ganliang Road?!"
Having said this, Ye An folded his hands and saluted solemnly: "How dare you spare your life?!"
Only Cao Yi on the side was stunned, frozen in place like a wooden man.
He didn't expect that his second uncle would actually send him to Ye An, or even actually go to Ganliang. It was not a good place to go. He could gain a foothold in Tokyo city by guarding Huanzhou, and it would not be a problem to fool the Cao family.
, why do you have to endure this hardship?
There will be no shortage of military achievements in Ganliang, but there are many foreign enemies and barbarians there. A slight mistake will be a disaster, so military achievements must be received by someone!
In Cao Yi's surprise, Cao Wei shouted out the door: "Old Sun, bring the wine! I want strong wine, the strong wine from the Changsheng family!"
Ye An smiled bitterly. The old man still wanted to drink even though he was coughing like this. However, Ye An was very surprised that the Cao family could not hire famous doctors, or even imperial doctors, so why was Cao Wei still coughing like this?
The sound of a dry cough was irritating, and Ye An also didn't see Cao Wei coughing up blood, which ruled out the possibility of tuberculosis, which meant it was pneumonia.
The pneumonia has not been cured for a long time, and there is still a risk of infection. Ye An turned to Sun Laizi and said: "Sun Zongfeng, would you please go to the Marquis Mansion and invite the county prince here? My father-in-law must be hiding something secret if he is not cured for a long time."
Cao Wei waved his hand and said: "This is an old disease. I have asked many doctors to see it, and they all said it was tuberculosis. I drank a lot of decoctions, but there was no effect at all, so I stopped drinking..."
Ye An said strangely: "If you haven't coughed up blood, it doesn't mean you have tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is incurable, so how can it be delayed for so long?"
"Who knows! It's just the irritability of coughing that is life-threatening. When the saint comes to the palace to meet the saint, many officials will give him decoctions, but it's useless, so it's like this!"
But Ye An still insisted: "My wife knows a little about the art of orpiment, can I let her have a look?"
Cao Yi was slightly stunned and said in a low voice: "No, you Ye Changsheng is very knowledgeable in medical skills. When you were injured in Huanzhou, all the wounded soldiers in the camp relied on you to treat them. How come your county commander is also very knowledgeable in medical skills?"
Ye An said shyly: "The medical skills of Changsheng were all learned from my wife...that's why she is a wonderful healer."
Everyone was dumbfounded. Qin Mumu actually knew medical skills, which was a great shock to them, but Ye An curled his lips. A psychiatrist is also a doctor!
Especially Qin Mumu, who originally planned to engage in criminal investigation work, also has a certain understanding of forensic medicine and can treat common diseases. However, in this era, she can only see doctors and cannot prescribe medicine...
But as long as the cause of the disease can be determined, it will be of great help to Cao Wei's condition, so Ye An insisted on letting Qin Mumu come. According to the time calculation, Cao Wei is probably not going to die soon, which is obviously not unrelated to this disease.
