Yuan Chi nodded lightly, and walked towards the second hall without stopping, and when he arrived at the study, he saw that in addition to Lu Yuan, there were also Zhang Dezhong, Ji Yan and Zhanyuan in the study, and secretly guessed that Lu Jieshuai was going to make a big move.

"Jie Shuai." Yuan Chi bowed.

Lu Yuan nodded and said: "Recently, when I was dealing with litigation on people's livelihood, I found that many people reacted that the phenomenon of collusion between officials and businessmen began to appear in Hui'an Mansion, what do you think?" ”

Since Lu Yuan was appointed as the envoy of the festival, the official affairs of the people's livelihood have been transferred to Qin Li and Dong Yuan, but he will occasionally go to their office room and pick some to look through, so as not to lose touch with the people.

"The subordinates thought that they could let the catchers focus on investigating the matter, and then handle it impartially." Zhan Yuan said.

Yuan Chijin said: "Jie Shuai, these things are thought to be difficult to put an end to, and now there is about to be a war in Hui'an Mansion, and it should focus on maintaining stability." ”

"No, the more critical the moment, the more you can't have internal problems, you should investigate it to the end!" Ji Yan retorted.

"I don't know what Zhang Shaoyin thinks?" Lu Yuan asked.

Zhang Dezhong pondered for a moment and said: "I think this shows that there are still problems in the officialdom of Hui'an Mansion, and it is not enough to rely on the rectification of officials, and it should be opened immediately to take officials!" ”

Since Lu Yuan became independent of the imperial court, many officials in other counties of Hui'an Province have been gradually replaced, some of them selected from among the officials, and some of them are recommended by other officials.

These things happened when Lu Yuan was in Jinling, and they were agreed by Qin Youyu, and Qin Youyu also reported it after Lu Yuan came back, and there was no way, after all, these officials were always more loyal than the original officials, so Lu Yuan acquiesced.

Hearing Zhang Dezhong's suggestion, Yuan Chi was taken aback, Kaike is only capable of the imperial court, although Qingyuan has also done it, but the people are strong and not afraid of the imperial court at all, he is a little worried in his heart, he is afraid that doing so will cause the imperial court to be angry.

"I'll think about it." Lu Yuan nodded.

He had long thought about the selection of talents, and in this era, the imperial examination was still a relatively fair method, but there were still many drawbacks. He planned to carry out some modernization and reform of the imperial examination, but he could not change too much at a time, otherwise the scholars would only be afraid of making a big noise.

Ji Yan said in a deep voice: "Jie Shuai, if we open the course, I'm afraid that only the students of Hui'an Mansion will come to participate, the number is too small, I'm afraid we won't be able to recruit a few people." ”

Lu Yuan smiled: "That's easy, just reduce the difficulty of the exam." ”

Yuan Chijin said: "I'm afraid it's difficult to select the right talent. ”

Lu Yuan is noncommittal, he does not think that only those who have read books and can recite poetry are talents, in his eyes, anyone who has a skill can be called a talent.

"The imperial examination must be opened, but there will be some changes, and I am going to set up a supervision institute after the opening of the department, and the personnel will be admitted from the people who are admitted to the department."

"Is it an institution like Goshidai?" Ji Yan asked.

"It can be said that the specific functions and powers are relatively similar, but we currently only have one prefecture in Hui'an, so the personnel will be more streamlined and the structure will be simpler." Lu Yuan explained.

The procuratorate he intends to set up is similar to the procuratorate of later generations, but the power will not be as great as that of the procuratorate, and at present it mainly only has the power of supervision, and it can also undertake lawsuits from the people.

For example, in the past, if the people had grievances, they could only file a lawsuit with the arrest fast, but because the arrest was a law enforcement officer, the people were more afraid, and if the subject of the lawsuit was high and powerful, the arrest was easy to be bribed or it was possible that they would not dare to accept it because of fear.

Now it is equivalent to an additional place to accept lawsuits, and it is an independent institution, and it is difficult for the power of external officials to penetrate, so that the people can have an additional way to redress their grievances.

After Lu Yuan briefly explained the functions of the procuratorate to them, the topic gradually shifted to the war, and Zhan Yuan spoke: "Jie Shuai, my subordinates heard that the Western Route Army won a big victory, I don't know if it's true?" ”

At present, the front-line military information is directly sent to Lu Yuan's study, and no one else can know about it.

"Not bad." Lu Yuan smiled.

Zhan Yuan felt a little relieved after hearing this, many civilian officials, including him, were a little worried about the military in their hearts, afraid that they would be inexperienced and unable to win the battle, and this victory made them finally feel at ease.

"I wonder what the situation of the other armies is?" Zhang Dezhong asked.

"According to the news of the Northern Route Army, the 20,000 forbidden troops of the Tang State have arrived in Xuanzhou, and I heard that when Lu Weiyi left Xuanzhou, he killed all the officials who originally belonged to the Tang State, and after he left, the bandits in Xuanzhou were rampant, very chaotic, and the Tang State Forbidden Army was cracking down on bandits and rectifying Xuanzhou."

"There is no news from Wuyue on the East Road for the time being, but recently there have been their detailed works in the city, and it is possible that they are also fighting the idea of Hui'an Mansion.

"As for the Southern Route Army, it may already be fighting against the Tang Guoan Army."

Speaking of this, Lu Yuan's heart was a little heavy, he didn't expect that when he received the military information this morning, the Anhua Army would come so quickly!

Wuyuan County.

In the marshal tent of the military camp in the city, Ma Kongming sat in the middle of the black clothes and black armor, and the big horse golden knife sat in the middle, and under him sat Qi Zhen, Yuan Qing and Wei Chidan, and there was also a bearded man, named Hu Dahai, like Qi Zhen, who was also his former subordinate of the Yellow River Gang, and currently served as the commander of his battalion.

"The enemy has reached thirty miles outside the city, and there are 5,000 people in the Malay report, so tell me how to deal with it?" Ma Kongming glanced at everyone and said lightly.

"Needless to say, Brother Ma has led us to defeat four or five times as many enemies in the past, but this time the number is only twice as many as ours, fuck it!" Hu Dahai shouted loudly.

"Marching and fighting is not the same as gang fire, and the last general thinks that he should not hold out, and send more sentry horses to look for fighters." Wei Chidan said in a deep voice.

Hu Dahai stood up violently and said angrily: "What, you look down on our Yellow River Gang? ”

"The sea, this is to discuss the military situation, you sit down for me!" Ma Kongming shouted.

"Humph!" Hu Dahai snorted coldly and sat down slowly.

"Qi Zhen, what do you think?" Ma Kongming asked.

"I think we should be cautious." Qi Zhen spoke slowly.

"Brother Qi, why have you become so timid, you weren't like this before!" Hu Dahai said dissatisfied.

"I didn't say no fighting, but I just want you to be cautious, what are you anxious about!"

"Hehe, this is my big brother Qi! Brother Ma, it's so decided, hurry up and attack, make Lu Jieshuai happy and happy, I heard that the Western Route Army just won a victory, we can't lag behind! ”

Ma Kongming looked at Yuan Qing again and asked, "Captain Yuan, what do you think?" ”

"I listen to the general, and I will fight wherever the general tells me to fight!"

"Good!" Ma Kongming stood up and laughed: "Everyone drank this cup together, and then went to those rabbit cubs!" ”

Saying that, he picked up the wine glass, and several other people got up one after another, but Wei Chidan did not get up.

"Captain Chi?" Ma Kongming looked at the past with a pair of tiger eyes.

Wei Chidan sighed, knowing that he was soft-spoken, persuasion was useless, and if he wanted to establish himself in the barracks, sometimes he had to be patient, so he stood up and drank this glass of wine with everyone.

Later, under the leadership of Ma Kongming, an army of 2,500 people drove out of the city, leaving only the 500 city defense battalions under the county commander to defend the city.

When advancing to a hillside, the sentinel came to report that the enemy's 5,000 men and horses were approaching, and Wei Chidan said: "General, why don't we wait here to ambush, and bury two men and horses behind the left and right slopes, and when the Chinese army and the enemy fight, the other two roads will be killed at the same time, and the enemy army will be chaotic!" ”

Hu Dahai laughed and said: "Why bother, when you can charge, you will know how powerful Brother Ma is, plus me and Brother Qi assist, you just wait to pick up the credit." ”

"No, I think what Captain Wei Chi said makes sense." Qi Zhen said slowly.

Ma Kongming thought for a while and said, "It's okay, then Brother Hu and Brother Qi will each lead five hundred people and ambush them on both sides." ”

"Oh, that's troublesome, I know." Hu Dahai pursed his lips.

"Command." Qi Zhen said lightly, and led an army to the right to ambush.

After a long time, a black torrent faintly appeared in the distance, Wei Chidan knew that the enemy army had finally arrived, and when they gradually approached, Wei Chidan's heart condensed, the enemy army was extremely prosperous, the formation was neat, and he knew that the combat power was extraordinary at a glance.

During the confrontation between the two armies, one of the enemy shouted loudly: "Listen to the rebels on the other side, you follow Lu Yuan, like a lonely ghost with a wild ghost, why don't you surrender early, maybe you can save the lives of your whole family!" ”

"Hahaha." Ma Kongming laughed wildly and shouted suddenly: "Charge!" ”

With his order, the army charged towards the enemy, and at this moment, a burst of drum noise sounded on the left and right, and it was Hu Dahai and Qi Zhen who rushed down from the left and right.

Wei Chidan followed closely behind Ma Kongming, only to see him slash left and right with a long-handled saber, as long as he encountered his enemy troops head-on, none of them were spared, and he was really brave and extraordinary.

But for some reason, Wei Chidan became more and more worried in his heart, because in this case, the enemy army was still in a good formation, fighting hard with his own side, if this situation continued, although his side had the advantage of being surrounded by three ways, but the enemy had more people, and the outcome was really unpredictable.

Even if it wins, it is estimated that it will be a miserable victory.

Ma Kongming also felt this way, he had been slashing with all his strength for nearly an hour, but the enemy soldiers were still rushing towards him without fear of death, and if the gang had fought the opposite side, he would have collapsed and fled.

He looked at the six roads, noticed that his soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, this was by no means a situation he wanted to see, and after a moment of silence, he decided to use the old method of the past, capture the thief and capture the king first, and find a way to kill the leader of the enemy army, thinking that the enemy would be scattered.

However, when I looked up, there were soldiers all around, and I didn't see a figure similar to the main general.

At this moment, I only heard a drum beat on the opposite side, and the enemy army began to retreat like a tide, Ma Kongming was overjoyed, knowing that the opposite side could not hold on, and shouted loudly: "Pursuit!" ”

Suddenly, an urgent voice came from beside him: "General, the enemy army is retreating without chaos, and it is not appropriate to pursue!" ”

Ma Kongming didn't need to turn his head to know that it was Wei Chidan who spoke, and according to his past experience, he knew that the pursuit could have the greatest gain at this time, so he ignored him and chased away on his horse.

Wei Chidan had no choice but to follow, and after chasing for a while, he suddenly noticed that the terrain was wrong, and suddenly stopped his horse, only to see that there were cliffs on both sides.
