Chapter 496: Contest

"Huge influence, now can't talk about it, only when we occupy enough places, and form an influential system in the political arena, this kind of move, can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, from now on to change the hierarchy of this world, otherwise just by the implementation of the imperial examination in this place in Jiaozhou, there is not much change, really learned scholars, all hit in the Central Plains."

Liu Zheng still knows his own situation very well, although he knows that the birth of the imperial examination will inevitably change the talent structure under his command, so that he can have more available people, but after all, he only occupies Jiaozhou, a remote place like Jiaozhou, even if there are some talents, it is definitely not as many as the Central Plains.

If he really wants to make the imperial examination and the military academy have enough performances, then Liu Zheng must expand his influence, continuously promote talents in these two places, and at the same time make more people join the military academy.

"No matter what happens in the future, just for now, I have seen the foresight of the lord, and I know that you are a person who truly serves the people. I, Lu Jun, didn't look at the wrong person. ”

Lu Jun's words at this time came from the bottom of his heart.

"If it weren't for the fact that Lu Xun was too young, only five years old, I really wanted him to enter the military academy directly."

Lu Jun's son Lu Xun is indeed a talent, which is also the reason why Liu Zheng values Lu Jun, and Lu Xun will definitely be thrown into the military academy by Liu Zheng in the future, but now, he has to study with Lu Jun for a few more years.

During the time when Liu Zheng and Lu Jun were communicating, Wen Ping and Sun Ce, who were on the school field, finally decided the winner.

Wen Ping's wooden spear slapped Sun Ce's back, with huge force, Sun Ce, who was hurting on it, gritted his teeth, but Sun Ce could still bear this level of pain.

He held back the pain and scrambled to fight back, but he was still a step too late, and was shot by Wen Ping, hitting him sideways, directly making Sun Ce's body unstable and falling to the ground.

Seeing Sun Ce fall to the ground, Wen Ping put away the wooden gun and then laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, Sun Ce, I won again."

Wen Ping was a little excited that he had defeated Sun Ce.

Sun Ce got up from the ground and patted the dust on his body with his hand, the expression on his face was obviously a little frustrated, after all, the challenge failed, making Sun Ce lose face in front of so many people.

However, for Sun Ce, he is not a failure, after all, the age gap is so big, if Sun Ce reaches the age of Wenpin, Sun Ce may not know how awesome he will be.

"Hmph, let you get lucky to win once, don't be too happy, I'll continue to challenge you."

"Now I can hold fifty moves under you, and when I have two more people, I will definitely be able to fight with you equally, and I will definitely defeat you before I graduate!"

Although Sun Ce failed this challenge, he did not admit defeat, and saved a breath in his heart, thinking that he would practice first and continue to challenge next time.

"Okay, I'm waiting for you to challenge."

Wenpin is also generous, and does not refuse, only the two of them sharpen each other, can promote Wenpin to make progress.

"Sun Ce, are you okay?"

Seeing Sun Ce get up from the ground, Zhou Yu hurriedly ran over and wanted to ask his little brother if something had happened.

Sun Ce shrugged his shoulders and signaled that he was fine, and Zhou Yu hugged Sun Ce and cheered Sun Ce on.

And the battle between Liu Zheng and Lu Jun's computer was over, so he walked up, clapped his palms, and applauded the wonderful battle between the two just now.

Bang bang bang.

Liu Zheng applauded, and Lu Jun, Yuan Zhou and others also clapped their hands.

Immediately attracted the attention of those onlookers, as soon as they saw that it was Liu Zheng coming, they immediately looked serious, even Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not dare to slack off, and a group of people began to greet Liu Zheng and salute.

"Lord!"

"Your Excellency!"

"Master!"

Different people have different names for Liu Zheng, but looking at Liu Zheng's look, they all have the same respect, after all, the man standing in front of them, but in this troubled world, many of them have been carried by Liu Zheng.

"No need to be polite."

Liu Zheng waved his hand and told them to stand up.

"Sun Ce, I haven't seen you for a few months, your strength has grown."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Liu Zheng saw that although Sun Ce and Wen Ping lost the competition, he played his own spirit, which was still very worthy of Liu Zheng's praise.

Sun Ce was also praised by Liu Zheng for two sentences, and his heart was happy, after all, he was still happy to be recognized by Liu Zheng.

"But you have to train yourself diligently, I have high expectations for you, at least you will not be worse than your father in the future."

"Thank you for your high hopes, Sun Ce will definitely not insult the family style."

After saying Sun Ce, Liu Zheng continued to look at Wen Ping, and praised Wen Ping a few words.

However, unlike Sun Ce, after Wen Ping was praised by Liu Zheng, he did not show any beauty in his heart, but saluted Liu Zheng very calmly.

Wenpin doesn't have a good background like Sun Ce, he can have today, completely relying on himself, following Liu Zheng, and coming out step by step.

"If you continue to work hard, it is estimated that there will be a battle soon, and when the time comes, maybe you will also have the opportunity to go into battle and kill the enemy."

Liu Zheng inspected these students in the school grounds, and then went to the barracks of Wenpin, Tai Shici, and Gan Ning to inspect the morale of his side before the war.

Because Liu Zheng got married before, the good wine and meat in the barracks were entertained for a few days, and at this time, with the help of this atmosphere, the morale was very high, and as soon as the news from Yuan Shu's side arrived, Liu Zheng could directly set off from Yichun City and go directly to Changsha County.

The advance of the army only takes two or three days to directly approach the city of Changsha.

It's just that Liu Zheng knows that the current Changsha County is guarded by Cai Mao, so let him fight Cai Mao directly, and he can't erase his face, but this battle still has to be fought, and sooner or later he will point his troops to Jingzhou, and it will only be a matter of time.

Try not to use the sword soldiers and persuade Cai Mao to surrender, which is the best choice.

Liu Zheng wanted to persuade him to surrender, but as soon as Yuan Shu made a move, Liu Zheng decided to let Yuan Zhou send a letter of persuasion first.

This time did not wait too long.

At the end of May, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were almost assembled, and he couldn't wait, and when June, Dongting Lake was flooded, and the flood season came, and the march would be even more difficult, and it would be difficult to conquer Jiangxia at that time.

Therefore, Yuan Shu wanted to take advantage of the flood season before it arrived, and directly took Jiangxia in one go.
