Chapter 168: A New Battle Plan

"What, what Tai Xueling said is true?"

"That's amazing, isn't it?"

"I thought earlier that I could become an official when I entered Taixue, but I didn't expect that I could become a military Sima after graduation."

"The last Taixue students don't have anyone who has achieved this position now."

"Why do I always feel a little unrealistic?"

Zhang Yuanjian saw that the students' reactions were very strong, and they had almost settled down.

High-ranking officials are in front of them, and that is the best attraction.

"Everyone, there are almost 800 of you, but only 100 of you can be selected.

If you want to join, you can go directly to Taixue Cheng to sign up later, and if the number of people is too much, it will be assessed again. ”

It doesn't matter what the assessment is.

It seems that as long as you can report your name, you can directly become a military horse.

All of a sudden, all the students rushed to King Wuqiu Shou's side, and the self-esteem of any literati was not seen at all.

Speaking of assessments, this time there will definitely be no assessment of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Although Zhang Yuan told the news to the students of Quantaixue, he only targeted a group of people.

That's the students who were already learning the celestial calendar.

This group of people has a foundation, and Zhang Yuan only needs to teach them about the astrological signs of the desert, which can come in handy directly.

However, Zhang Yuan did not make this condition clear.

Speaking of it, it is estimated that some people who are unwilling to be lonely will go to him for trouble again.

It's better to keep a low profile now.

Soon, with the help of some officials, King Wuqiu Shou completed the collection of information on the registered students.

The students who had nothing to do also dispersed.

"Taixue Ling, a total of 631 students have signed up."

Zhang Yuan nodded, and did not let everyone sign up, indicating that some of the students in this Taixue are still a little resistant to going to the battlefield.

"Luoxiahong, what criteria do you have for this assessment?"

Luo Xiahong has not been reused since he entered Taixue, but he is just teaching and educating people honestly, but this kind of day really makes him a little uncomfortable.

In the past few years, he has finished reading all the books he wants to read, and he is planning to resign from Zhang Yuan when he sees that there are no new students enrolled.

As a result, such an errand fell on his head.

"I haven't been to the grassland, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach students at that time."

Luo Xiahong wanted to escape, but Zhang Yuan hadn't picked up the wool from him yet, how could he let him go easily.

"I have also studied the science of astrology.

Some of the astrological signs corresponding to famous mountains and rivers can be easily deduced.

Even if you haven't been to the grasslands, the stars are constantly changing as your position moves north, and this change is regular.

Besides, how do you know I won't let you go to the grassland? ”

Luo Hong was speechless all of a sudden.

He didn't expect Zhang Yuan to take the risk of letting a group of students who were not involved in the sinister rivers and lakes be sent directly to the grassland.

And listening to this meaning, it seems that he is going too.

That's a lot of risk.

I want to refuse, but I can't.

"Okay, please also ask Taixue to set the rules, and strictly follow the implementation above."

Zhang Yuan was also very helpless, he had thought that Luo Hong's resistance was so great.

Earlier, he really should have asked his opinion first, but now he made a decision directly, and even announced at the court meeting that he wanted to make Luo Xiahong a teacher.

It doesn't feel too good in anyone's heart.

But Zhang Yuan couldn't find a better candidate.

You can't just go to a few heavenly officials, that's too irresponsible.

And now the celestial official of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Yuan only trusts Luo Xiahong alone to have the ability to locate with the stars.

Relying on astrological positioning does not mean that you can directly determine your position by looking at the position of the stars in the sky, you must also have a reference.

For example, the starting point, and then the speed and direction of the daily march of the army, many conditions can be added together to determine the position of the army on the map more accurately.

If you're not fighting on the steppe, you'll need to have a map.

However, once it comes to the special terrain of deserts and grasslands, the role of maps is really not as great as imagined.

But this guy got the armillary sphere out.

And this guy has dabbled in agriculture, astronomy, medicine, and mathematics, which are the only scientific disciplines in ancient times, and they are not just for fun.

This guy is a real genius, but Zhang Yuan has no way to measure his IQ.

Otherwise, if you test this guy's IQ, you may be able to crush some scientists in later generations.

A total of more than 600 students have signed up, and they will be assessed soon, and Zhang Yuan and the others are estimated to have no leisure days in the future.

Even on the third day of Wei Qing's worship ceremony, Zhang Yuan was not able to participate.

I just heard that Liu Che was very happy, hoping that Wei Qing could lead the Han army to eliminate the Huns in one fell swoop.

After Zhang Yuan knew, there was a lot of pressure in his heart.

I'm afraid that victory alone can't satisfy Liu Che, and a big victory must be required.

Thinking that there was a side task of the system was to establish a surrendered city in the Hetao area, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but deliberately guide Wei Qing, and the purpose of this battle was set for those Xiongnu tribes in the Hetao area.

The Hetao Plain has unique conditions for the development of agriculture.

Building a standing city there may be of great importance to the Han's next battle plan against the Xiongnu that can change the entire battle situation.

Moreover, the Hetao area is not only inhabited by the Xiongnu tribes, but also by some Qianghu tribes.

Qianghu is not only an enemy of the Han people, but also a natural mortal enemy of the Xiongnu.

There is no such thing as an alliance among the peoples of the steppe, and they are either submissive or enemies.

Qianghu was able to survive in the Hetao area, so he naturally chose to surrender.

The Huns were able to keep Qianghu under their noses, so they naturally wanted to use them.

One is to collect taxes, almost only leaving Qianghu with enough food to eat, and all the rest is plundered.

The second is to drive these tribes to war.

The Han Dynasty had slave armies, and the Xiongnu tribes naturally had them, and there were two of them.

One is the descendants of Han Wangxin, and the Han people call those people ghost slaves.

The other group is the other nomadic people on the grassland, including the Qiang and Xianbei people.

In the event of a major war, if the Huns found that there were Qiang tribes or Xianbei tribes in the warring area, they would drive them over as cannon fodder.

Zhang Yuan wanted to gamble that Qianghu's hatred for the Huns was greater than his hatred for the Han people.

When the time comes, promise some benefits and cut some taxes, maybe those Qianghu tribes will be able to immediately turn back and give the Huns a severe blow.

After Zhang Yuan thought about the goal, he began to tap on the table frequently, studying the Xiongnu tribes in the Hetao area.

These tribes are no better than other Xiongnu tribes, these people can't run.

There is no bridge on the surface of the Yellow River, and the river thaws in the spring, and these Xiongnu tribes can only call the sky and not the earth and the earth to be spiritual.
