Yan Qi had a narrow smile on his face: "It's still the same sentence: water is the source of life. Talents and beauties, let me ask you, who can live without water?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Fish cannot live without water, and similarly, people cannot live without water.
Yan Qidao: "Some people have done experiments. If a person does not eat, he will not die for seven days. If he does not drink water, he will not survive for three days. Therefore, water is the most important thing in our lives, as important as air."
Having said this, Yan Qi pointed to the map of the Western Region: "Look, the Western Region has all kinds of minerals, but what is missing? Water shortage! There is a serious water shortage."
"Look again, where do the water resources of the Western Region come from? If you look at the map, you will know that they are all supported by the Xihe River, and the source of the Xihe River is Weishan! It can be said that the entire Western Region relies on the snow-capped mountains of Weishan. Therefore, Weishan is the life gate of the Western Region."
"Here comes the following question: Just imagine, if we can control Weishan Mountain, wouldn't we control the Western Region?"
Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.
Yan Qi pointed at the map and said categorically: "The reason why the countries in the Western Regions have been asking for Weishan Mountain for years and even to the bitter end is to take the water resources into their own pockets and ensure their own lifeline. Otherwise, among the seventeen countries in the Western Regions, How can it be so easy to unite and claim Weishan after years of internal strife?"
Everyone nodded repeatedly, finally understanding what Weishan meant to Dahua.
"The analysis is so thorough. Listening to Mr. Yan's words is better than reading decades of books."
"It turns out that Weishan is not important. What is important is water resources. We are really stupid. This layer of window paper has been pierced. Everyone understands that if Mr. Yan hadn't revealed it, we really couldn't see through the mystery."
"So, geography is very important. We study the Four Books and Five Classics every day, recite poems and compose poems, play and sing, and think we know everything. In fact, our understanding of the world is too superficial."
…
Zhao Qing and Yi Guinong looked at each other and realized the importance of Weishan to Dahua.
In my heart, I secretly admired Prime Minister Cao: He is truly the pillar of the country.
It's a pity that Prime Minister Cao suffered misfortune.
Alas!
What a pain!
Yan Qi looked at Xie Sanjia, who was holding his neck: "Just now, you kept saying that Weishan is useless, laborious and a waste of money. Now, what else do you have to say?"
Jie Sanjia's cheeks were red, his body was shaking, and he couldn't say a word.
Yan Qi stared at He Zhang again: "Prime Minister Cao worked hard to include Weishan Mountain in the territory of Dahua. It was a shocking and generous move to open up territory for Dahua and made great contributions. However, with your short-sightedness and IQ He was so stupid that he actually said that Prime Minister Cao was full and wanted to throw Weishan away like rags."
"I tell you, He Zhang, and Jie Sanjia, whoever of you throws away Weishan will be the eternal sinner of Dahua. He will be nailed to the pillar of shame and will be infamous for thousands of years, and will never be able to stand up for eternity."
He Zhang and Xie Sanjia's face turned red.
Yan Qi's words hit their sore spot.
Everyone was also filled with emotion.
"Thankfully Mr. Yan was wise and prevented Jie Sanjia from signing the agreement. Otherwise, Dahua's control over the Western Region would have been loosened."
"Young Master Yan is full of real talent and learning, and I am not as good as him. He is also far behind in Jie Jieyuan."
"Hehe, Jie Jieyuan is just a little clever, Mr. Yan is the real great wisdom. Jie Jieyuan is not worthy of carrying Mr. Yan's shoes."
…
Listening to everyone's ridicule, Xie Sanjia couldn't bear it and shouted loudly.
"You ordinary people, what do you know? What do you know? Do you think I don't know that Mount Wei is the life gate of the Western Region? Hum, I just don't say it, but it doesn't mean I don't know."
Lin Ruoxian yelled sweetly: "Don't be ashamed if you have such a big face."
Shh!
Everyone booed.
Jie Sanjia's face turned as red as a monkey's butt, and he shouted loudly: "What are you shushing? What are you shushing? I already knew that Weishan Mountain is the gate of life in the Western Region. You believe it or not, but I know it anyway. I...I don't know anything about it." No worse than Yan Qi, on the contrary, I am much better than Yan Qi..."
The boos below became even louder.
"Blow it, you know Weishan is the lifeblood of the Western Region, so you still want to give the Western Region away."
“Bragging doesn’t pay taxes.”
"Xie Jieyuan is hypocritical and cunning, which really embarrasses scholars."
…
Jie Sanjia blushed and continued to argue: "Shut up, shut up. What are you talking about? I am a great talent. I don't know anything, and you still doubt my IQ here?"
"Let me tell you, the reason why I agreed to sign the agreement was because I had no choice but to protect Weishan."
Yan Qi pouted: "Why can't Weishan be saved?"
Xie Sanjia straightened his back and was very confident: "Just imagine, since the Western Region already knows that Weishan is the place where famous families live, how can they not fight to the death to take Weishan back?"
When everyone heard it, they also felt that it made sense.
Xie Sanjia regained some confidence: "Just now, the Saxi Imperial Guard has produced a letter stating that the Turks will unite with the Western Regions to attack Dahua. Now, Dahua has just been defeated, and the Turks have come to attack Qiuwei again, and Dahua is unable to cope with it. If the Western Regions take advantage of the situation and join forces with the Turks to attack Dahua, Dahua will suffer heavy losses. Not only will they not be able to protect Weishan, they will even lose their troops and generals."
"So, I have considered everything for Dahua. Returning Weishan to the Western Regions before the situation worsens will not only avoid losses, but also allow the Western Regions to recognize Dahua as its suzerainty. What is not perfect about such a plan? Who can find faults? ?”
Upon hearing this, everyone felt that Jie Sanjia's words made sense.
He Zhang hurriedly agreed: "I think the same way. Do you really think I can't see the value of Weishan? I have been in the Ministry of Rites for so many years, how could I not know the power of Weishan. However, the current situation is not good for Dahua, so we can only Choose to return Weishan, there is no other way.”
"Haha, there is no other way."
Yan Qi listened with a sneer on his face: "Xie Jieyuan, He Shilang, your words sound reasonable and can bluff people. But, to put it bluntly, they are just making excuses for your own incompetence! In your bones, you are weak Dan, you are afraid of the Western Region, and when you saw Saxi showing off the knife, you two were scared to death, you have no spine, let alone wisdom!"
Jie Sanjia was torn off by Yan Qi's hypocritical coat, stabbed in the spine, and jumped up in shock: "You are just standing and talking without pain in your back. Could it be that, facing the tyranny of the Western Region, facing the butcher's knife of the Saxi Imperial Preceptor, Do you have any way to protect Weishan?"
"certainly!"
Yan Qi puffed out his chest and proudly promised: "Not only can I keep Weishan, but I can even make them put down their noble attitude, lower their eyebrows and fight to recognize Dahua as their suzerain state."
