Lu Bu took it in his hand and looked at it carefully...

Liang Hongyu's strategy was to the effect that 500,000 troops were needed (not enough to be recruited), and 100,000 of them were used to defend Jiangxia and Neijiang, 100,000 to defend Yuzhang County, and 100,000 to defend Pengchengguo, so as to gain two months. Mobilize 200,000 elites to seize Qingzhou and prevent Yuan Shao's army from crossing the Yellow River in an all-round way. If the Yellow River had already been crossed, Yuan Shao should be quickly defeated, return to Pengcheng, defeat Cao's army in the direction of Pengcheng, and then go all the way to the northwest and enter Yanzhou, forcing Cao Cao to withdraw.

"Good, good."

Lu Bu said three good things in a row, and threw Liang Hongyu's test paper to Zhang Liang: "Let's see, is the strategy feasible?" ”

"Liang Hongyu? This female student, who rarely speaks and has a short temper, didn't expect to be able to write such a strategy. Zhang Liang looked at it and said: "If Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Sun Ce really call, it is not impossible to march according to this strategy." ”

Zhang Liang gave such a high evaluation, which made Chen Gong and Xu Shu all surround him.

"Very good, very good.... Chen Gong smiled.

Xu Shu said: "Military Academy, it's really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." ”

Lu Bu did not respond to them, and picked up the white test paper again.

Bai Qi's strategy was to the effect that 300,000 troops were needed (not enough to be recruited), and 50,000 of them were used to defend Jiangxia and Neijiang, and 50,000 to defend Yuzhang County. 50,000 people defended Xiapi County, and when the enemy was introduced into the territory of Xiapi County, they abandoned Xiapi and retreated to Pengcheng. Mobilize 150,000 troops to capture Qingzhou and prevent Yuan's army north of the Yellow River from rushing to help. Waiting for the opportunity to annihilate the enemy's field elite, besiege Cao Yuan's army in Xiapi, and annihilate it completely.

"Look at this paper again." Lu Bu threw Bai Qi's test paper to Zhang Liang, Chen Gong, and Xu Shu.

After reading it, they all frowned.

Chen Gong said: "It's too risky. It is not as stable as Liang Hongyu's strategy. ”

"Yes, 50,000 guards Jiangxia and Neijiang, can they hold it? 50,000 guards Yuzhang County can't hold it. Once lost, the whole of Yangzhou fell. In Xuzhou, with less than 200,000 troops, it is too difficult to annihilate Cao Yuan's 700,000 troops. Zhang Liang said.

"Yuan Zhi, what do you think?" Lu Bu asked.

Xu Shu pondered for a while, and arched his hand: "The minister thinks that if there are another 200,000 troops, it may be okay." As long as Yangzhou does not fall, there are 300,000 elites in Xuzhou, who booby-trapped Cao Yuan's chariots and war horses, making Cao Yuan unable to fight with our army in the field and trapping them in Xiapi County. Think about the 700,000 army, how much grain and grass is needed? In two months, there will be no food. However, Mr. Gongtai and Master Zhang Liang Zhang are right, this plan is too risky, and it is not as safe as Liang Hongyu's strategy. ”

Lu Bu thought back to Bai Qi in history.

The first is the Battle of Ique. In this battle, Bai Qi led 100,000 Qin troops against the 240,000 coalition troops of Wei and Han. Taking advantage of the weakness of the coalition forces fighting separately, they avoided the real and attacked the weak, broke through each one, took it by surprise, launched an attack from the flank, won more with less, and completely annihilated the 240,000 coalition troops.

In the Battle of Huayang, the combined forces of Wei and Zhao attacked Korea, and Korea appealed to Qin for help. Bai Qi led more than 10,000 elite cavalry, set out from Xianyang, traveled 100 miles a day for a long-distance attack, sent surprise troops from the sky, attacked it unprepared, defeated Zhao and Wei's 150,000 coalition army, and beheaded 130,000.

The most famous battle was the Battle of Changping, which lasted for two years and was the most tragic battle in Bai Qirong's career. He used a trick to cut off the grain route of the Zhao army, so that the 400,000 Zhao army was starved of food for nearly two months, and finally was forced to break through and suffered heavy losses. 400,000 Zhao troops surrendered and were all killed by Bai Qi.

It can be seen that Bai Qi is good at using tricks to encircle and annihilate enemies who are several times his size.

If you think about it carefully, there are many similarities between the strategies on his test paper and the battles he has experienced.

Lu Budao: "I think that as long as you can hold Pengcheng and Qingzhou, and don't let Cao Yuan supply the army on the front line, it is still possible to win." Therefore, Liang Hongyu and Bai Qi should be tied for first place. ”

"Yes."

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Anyway, compared to other students, the two of them are very good. ”

"What position is the lord going to give them?" Chen Gong asked.

Lu Budao: "Feng Liang Hongyu is a five-rank Zhaowu general, and he will serve under Fan Lihua, and after making meritorious service, he will be rewarded as appropriate." As for Bai Qi, General Wupin Ningyuan, who went to Luo Cheng's army for a few years, I believe that he will be a general in the future. ”

"The lord is wise."

After reading Bai Qi and Liang Hongyu's test papers, Lu Bu lost interest in the test papers of other students. With Chen Gong and Xu Shu, go to Xiao He's Department of Internal Affairs.

"Father-in-law, the scientific expedition should be over, right?" In the lobby of the Department of Internal Affairs, Lu Bu stepped forward and asked.

"Yes."

Xiao He got up, handed the two test papers to Lu Bu, and said, "This is the student selected this year, the first place is Bao Zheng, the second place is He Shen, please take a look." ”

Lu Bu took it in his hand and looked at it, was stunned, and said, "I want to meet them." ”

"Wait a minute, my lord."

Xiao He sent two people to summon him.

The appearance of Bao Zheng and He Shen was expected by Lu Bu. Because a month ago, he had seen the two of them with his own eyes, and he went to Ling Yin's Mansion to find a job, so he had the later scientific examination. To put it bluntly, this scientific expedition is for them.

"What do you think of these two people's literary style?" Lu Bu handed the test paper to Chen Gong and Xu Shu.

After Chen Gong read it, he said: "Bao Zheng's writing is good, and He Shen is second." ”

"It's also outstanding. However, whether there is literary talent or not is a different thing from governing the country. Xu Shu said.

Yuan Zhi in a word. Historically, scientific research has only focused on literary brilliance, but ignored their ability in other aspects.... Lu Bu attached great importance to this issue and advised: "My father-in-law is in charge of the Department of Internal Affairs, and he has under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials, so he should appropriately adjust the rules of the scientific examination and conduct targeted examinations. For example, to expand the Wenxian Pavilion, to take the test to write articles, expand the household department, test arithmetic, expand the criminal department, test the criminal law, expand the etiquette department, test etiquette, etc., so that the recruited talents know how to distribute. ”

Xiao Hexi said: "What the lord proposes is that the next scientific examination must be rectified. ”

From time to time, Bao Zheng and Shen were summoned to the lobby of the Department of the Interior.

"Meet the General." The two saluted.

Xiao He introduced: "Lord, this is Bao..." ”

"No introduction, I know them." Lu Bu turned his gaze, pointed to the little fat man with a round head, and asked, "You are He Shen, right?" ”

"Yes, yes... The general has such a good memory. He Shen had a flattering look on his face.

"Are you Bao Zheng?" Lu Bu looked at the man standing next to him with a dark face and a moonlight on his forehead, and asked.

"Yes."

"Come here, I'll see what's going on with your moonlight?" Lu Bu beckoned to him.

Bao Zheng hurriedly stepped forward.

Lu Bu touched his forehead. Only then did I see clearly that he had been injured on his forehead, and the moonlight was because after the injury, the flesh bulged out, plus Bao Zheng's face was black, and the moonlight was white, which felt particularly conspicuous.
