Chapter 25: Secret Intelligence
"Your Majesty, urgent news from the border"
In the imperial study, a black shadow flashed in a few breaths, as if a person appeared out of thin air, dressed in black and wearing a mask, it was the leader of the Anbu, An Hui. Please remember our website
An Hui, in Qianhe Liyou's memory, was a rare talent, and the most rare thing was that he was a man. Here, court officials, civil officials and military generals must be women. There were almost no men among merchants, wealthy people, celebrities and gentlemen. There were only some men who showed up in the world, but they could not achieve much. Even at the bottom of society, some men had to work to support their families and could only do some trivial work. But An Hui was different. In Qianhe Liyou's view, except for Luo Yu, An Hui should be regarded as the most powerful man in the Qianhe Dynasty. He was in charge of the entire Anbu, and everyone in the Anbu admired him.
Qianhe Liyou took the information presented by An Hui and found it more and more interesting the more he read it.
Except for the Qianhe Dynasty in the east, there are four other countries in this place, namely Nanguo in the south, Zhongli Kingdom in the middle, Sang Kingdom in the north and Yinga Dynasty in the west. Except Zhongli which borders four countries respectively, the other four countries border three countries, and this pattern has lasted for more than three hundred years. The new policy of Sang Kingdom and the new emperor's warmongering, the constant conscription and mobilization of troops in the country are a precursor to war, and the three countries bordering it are also taking precautions. The Qianhe Dynasty even deployed 200,000 troops at Yuling Pass bordering Sang Kingdom, guarded by General Jiang Hanyang.
This piece of information came from the State of Sang, which reported that the State of Sang had secretly dispatched 300,000 troops, divided into five batches, to the border city of Wujian, which was far away from Yuling Pass, and that the weapons and food supplies of these soldiers were also being transported secretly.
"An Hui, based on your understanding of Sang Kingdom and our dynasty, what do you think will be the odds of winning or losing if a fight really breaks out?" Putting down the secret document in his hand, Qian Heliyou asked the waiting An Hui. An Hui was very tall, taller than the average man, and he had a mask on his face so his appearance could not be seen clearly. Originally, An Hui did not need to wear a mask when he went to the emperor for an audience, but because of an extremely dangerous mission, An Hui was injured on his face, and a scar was left after he healed. The emperor saw it at the time and ordered him to wear a mask when he went to the emperor for an audience in the future, otherwise he would be too ugly and people would feel uncomfortable. From then on, An Hui wore a mask, and as for An Hui's original appearance, it seemed very ordinary in memory.
"Sang country will definitely lose," An Hui replied in an unusually low voice, looking very confident. He was in charge of the Anbu, and the Anbu was scattered in the five major countries. He knew every country very well. Although the Qianhe Dynasty was not stable internally, it had the Anbu, the Hidden Dragon, and millions of troops. As long as they were used properly, they would definitely not lose.
Qian Heliyou liked An Hui's confident look, and nodded gently to signal Yun Tailing, who had been serving beside him, to grind. In less than half an hour, he wrote a superstitious letter, "An Hui, let the people in the Anbu send this secret order to Jiang Hanyang, the commander of Yuling Pass, and no mistakes can be made."
"Yes," An Hui accepted the order and left, leaving Qianhe Liyou and Yun Tailing who had been serving on the side.
Yun Tailing has been serving here for four days. Qianhe Liyou has become familiar with the medicinal scent emanating from his body and also likes the medicinal tea he makes. Moreover, Yun Tailing is very quiet and very intelligent, so Qianhe Liyou kept him for four days without realizing it.
"When two countries go to war, what do you think is the most important thing?"
"I am a concubine in the harem and am not allowed to participate in political affairs." Yun Tailing was very surprised. She had been serving by the emperor's side for the past few days, and the emperor had never spoken a word to her. The two of them had always been very quiet. The emperor suddenly spoke to him, and it was such a big deal, how could he not be surprised.
"I ask you, and you can tell me naturally."
"Can you tell me anything?" He didn't know what the emperor wanted to hear. Did he want to hear reason or his personal opinion?
"Just tell me what you think." People who are too smart tend to think too much. She just wanted to hear his thoughts.
"I feel that the most important thing is to be alive. Human life is priceless. Although it is glorious to die for the country, it is equally important to be alive. Everyone has relatives and friends, people who care about him and love him. If he dies, there will be people who will be sad for him."
For a doctor, what he values most is of course life.
Qianhe Liyou was not surprised to hear such words, she knew that this man had a kind heart of a doctor. Suddenly, Qianhe Liyou had an idea, "How is your medical skills different from your mother's?" Yun Tailing's mother was the imperial physician Yun Yangyong, a doctor with superb medical skills, and the Yun family was also a medical family, and the medical skills were passed down from generation to generation.
"I am still young, and my medical skills cannot compare with my mother's." Yun Tailing replied very modestly. He didn't know what the emperor meant, so he naturally didn't dare to say more.
"What I want to hear is the truth, not perfunctory, not hypocritical, and certainly not smooth compliments. You are very smart, but don't use this intelligence to guess what I mean, do you understand?" She admired Yun Tailing's intelligence, but he belonged to her, so she would not allow him to use this intelligence to guess and guard against her.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am still young. Although I have learned 80% of my mother's medical skills, I lack practice. Moreover, a lot of medical knowledge is not learned through learning. It requires personal experience. I only know some superficial things, so naturally I am not as good as my mother." Yun Tailing was shocked and did not dare to guess any more. He spoke frankly.
"Eighty percent, then do you want to have a chance to practice it yourself?" Qianhe Liyou felt that eighty percent was already a lot, and Yun Tailing was not as inexperienced as he said. Because he was her companion, he could enter the palace at a very young age, and naturally he could also work in the Imperial Hospital. The imperial doctors treated the emperor, concubines and adults in the palace. Yun Tailing was kind-hearted and had good medical skills. Sometimes the guards and attendants would come to him when they were sick. Many servants in the palace respected him for this reason.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean? Of course I do. If Your Majesty can fulfill my wish, I am willing to pay any price." After hearing the emperor's words, Yun Tailing was surprised and confused. He asked back instinctively, but after seeing the emperor's displeased expression, he reacted quickly and chose to answer the emperor honestly.
Qian Heliyou didn't say anything. The imperial study was very quiet. Yun Tailing felt nervous that his heartbeat was a little abnormal. He was expecting something. He knew it was just... But he didn't dare to expect too much. Where there is hope, there will be disappointment.
"You said that the most important thing when two countries are at war is to stay alive. On the battlefield, military doctors are so important. Perhaps as long as there is a good doctor, dozens or even hundreds of soldiers can survive. Do you think I am right or wrong?"
"Your Majesty is absolutely right," Yun Tailing replied very obediently this time.
Qian Heliyou nodded in satisfaction, and then continued: "Are you willing to be this important person? You should know that being a military doctor on the front line is dangerous, and the front line environment is extremely harsh, and you are facing the test of death at any time. Are you still willing to go?"
She was giving him a chance, a chance for this man to express himself, but she didn't know if he could seize it. However, looking at the shining expression in the man's eyes, she thought she already knew his choice.
"I am willing. I am not afraid of anything. As long as I can save the dying and heal the wounded, as long as I can be a real doctor, I can endure any hardship and any fatigue. Even if it means death, I am willing to give it a try."
"Okay, very good. Since you said so, I will let you go to the front line. However, I tell you that you can choose to come back at any time, but you only have one chance. If you come back, it means you have given up. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I will never give up."
