For this imperial examination, the Jihan government invested huge manpower and material resources. And because of the relationship between the traversers, this time the marking took the method that each marking officer only fixed a certain part of the test papers. Therefore, this time in the imperial examination, the results came out quickly.

The examination will start on March 25 and end on March 27. In the early morning of April 15, people passing by Suzaku Stadium found that the results of this exam and the top 500 people in the three subjects had all been announced!

Thanks to the huge size of the stadium, Zhuge Jing ordered people to post the list of admitted personnel for this scientific expedition at all the thirty exits of the stadium. At the same time, in order to show fairness, a circle of display boards was also made around the periphery of the stadium, and the original test papers of some of the reference personnel were posted.

In the surging flow of people with hope and anxiety. Zhao Yi's eldest son, Zhao Pu, under the escort of the generals, finally squeezed into front of a big list with a report card.

Look up and swipe towards the top name. "Whew~~" Zhao Pu suddenly breathed a big sigh of relief.

The two young masters of the Guan family don't know where they have gone in the past few years, and they are all secretive when they ask the elders in the family. Zhang Zun's family, Simple family, Sun Gang's family...... The core of the Fuxing Society is the Yuancong faction, and the children in the Yuancong faction's family, except for Zhao Pu, are either young and still studying. Either you are very old and come out early. In addition to Guan Fu and Guan Hui, Zhao Pu alone has completed five years of Mongolian studies and four years of Longshouyuan Academy.

So, this time the imperial examination. Zhao Pu was under great pressure: after nine years of studying, it was easy to pass the imperial examination. But as the only representative sent by the Yuan Cong faction, Zhao Pu's task is to win the champion! This proves the success of the new education of Guan Da Sima.

Fortunately, I got three results, and I only got the third place in the first subject. The latter two subjects are the first. The total scores are added together, and I finally got the champion of the first imperial examination in the world!

……

"Your Majesty, the above is the total ranking of the top three subjects in this imperial examination. According to the regulations before the imperial examination, the top 500 students in this examination will participate in the final physical examination, and as long as they pass, they will be officially hired by the imperial court. ”

"Hmm~ Da Sima, why didn't I see the names of people like Wang Dun, Zu Ti, Tao Kan and others?"

Because of the traverser, Liu Chen also has an impression of some well-known figures in later generations. Among them, His Majesty the Emperor certainly has the best impression of Zu Ti. This time, after knowing that Zu Ti came for reference, of course, he was also very concerned.

"Hehehe, Your Majesty, in the end, you are still too young, and some things are not understood at all, and of course this result is not ideal. However, these people, the minister has already sent someone to invite them to stay in Chang'an Mengxue or Longshouyuan Academy to enroll. ”

"Good. Da Sima, so be it. However, after passing the physical test, did these people still start serving as Lang Guan? ”

"Yes, I will be a Lang official for a year first. Then they were sent to the counties to start as officials. Only by being familiar with the affairs of the most basic level can you effectively control the situation after entering the court in the future. ”

"Well, I agree with that, so be it. Da Sima, the physical test will start tomorrow, right? ”

"Yes."

"Good, Zhongshu Ling, tomorrow I will also go to Suzaku Stadium to have a look, please Zhongshu Ling order the people below to arrange it."

"Commandment."

The narrative was over, and when Guan Yi was about to say goodbye, a small yellow door hurriedly ran in: "Meet Your Majesty, meet Da Sima." Jiaozhou urgent! ”

"Huh?! What's going on? Grab it now! ”

After reading Guan Suo's urgent report in a hurry, Liu Chen said to Guan Yi with a suspicious face: "Da Sima, I am not mistaken, right?" In the past few years, I have no idea of fighting Soochow. This Sun Hao actually dared to launch an army of 50,000 to invade the Nanjiao Prefecture of our Han Dynasty? ”

"Uh...... Your Majesty, the minister is also a little in a trance. The build-up of these 50,000 troops is not a trivial matter. But recently, the minister didn't hear Si Wencao's report. ”

"Huangmen, quickly recruit the priest and order Lu Zhongle to enter the hall!"

Speaking of which, since the fall of the Jin Kingdom in June 274. The two countries have maintained peace for three years.

In terms of Sun Hao's character, this is really unthinkable.

On the one hand, there have been floods in the country in Soochow for the first two years. On the other hand, it is Sun Hao who needs to swallow the property of the Huiji family's nest in Huiji County. Therefore, under the premise that Ji Han was busy integrating Kanto and did not make any move on Soochow for the time being. Sun Hao also kept quiet.

However, three years have passed, and the property of the Huiji family in its old nest has been swallowed by Sun Hao. And the year 276 is a rare harvest year for Soochow. Therefore, Sun Hao naturally had a different kind of thought.

Today, Han and Wu coexist. This situation will not last long. This is something that people all over the world see very clearly.

Ji Han's current national strength is about six to seven times that of Eastern Wu. The reason why I don't do it now is because there are too many things at home. When you have to free up your hands, it will be an all-out attack like a plough court sweeping. Sun Hao also saw this very clearly.

Therefore, if you don't want the foundation that your ancestors have worked hard to build up, you will be ruined in your own hands, as the emperor of Eastern Wu. Sun Hao had to make a difference.

How? can only learn from Zhuge Liang and replace defense with offense.

Now, the border between Han and Wu is generally stable. But for Wu Guo, the three counties of Nanjiaozhou, which were cut off by Wang Qi through the Jiaozhou rebellion, are really like a thorn in the back: they are far away from core cities such as Jianye and Jiangling. The radiation capacity of the Soochow Center was already very weak. If Nanjiaozhou is not recovered first, Han and Wu will fight a decisive battle on the Yangtze River in the future, and the main force of Wu will be put on the northern front. And a strange army suddenly came out in the south, which was really enough for Eastern Wu.

Besides, because Soochow controlled most of the area on the southeast coast, Jihan's maritime trade was now extremely dependent on the three counties of Nanjiaozhou. Once these three counties are gained and lost. Then Ji Han's sea trade will be completely finished.

The family in Kanto has been a bit miserable by the Jihan government in the past two years, but the Jihan national rebellion that Sun Hao has been looking forward to has never come. The reason for this is that Ji Han himself has a solid foundation and strong control of the army. The most critical point is that Guan Yi pointed out the road of industry and commerce to these Kanto families, so that the family has a new way to grow.

Therefore, Sun Hao's idea is: I take advantage of your main energy in the north to take down your Nanjiaozhou first. In addition to completely eliminating the troubles of Dawu, it can also force the family that has lost a lot of land and population to become nowhere to go. When the time comes, I will be able to establish contact with the Kanto family through more convenient sea trade......

With this idea, of course, it is necessary to put it into practice. Since his accession to the throne, many military operations presided over by Sun Hao have been deflated, and good generals such as Ding Feng, Shi Ji, and Lu Kang have died one after another. So this time, Sun Hao was rarely extremely cautious and patient.

He worked closely with Shi Taohuang, the assassin of Jiaozhou in Eastern Wu, to transfer troops to Beijiaozhou in multiple batches and a very small amount at a time. Such an action is so secretive that even Zhonghui, who is sitting in Huainan, does not know. In addition, Lu Ya's Si Wencao has been busy assisting the military in suppressing and controlling the Kwantung family over the years. The forces put into Soochow are on the low side. So, this raid actually succeeded!

To be honest, when Ji Han was still Shu Han in the past, he never looked down on Dongwu. After the destruction of the Jin Kingdom, the whole country did not take Dongwu seriously. Therefore, this raid of Dongwu actually captured the Pheasant Pass at once and opened the north gate of Nanjiaozhou!

"Your Majesty, now it seems that due to the loss of Pheasant Pass, the situation in Nanjiaozhou has become difficult to maintain. The minister proposed that he directly issue an edict to Jiaozhou Assassin Shi, and if he couldn't do anything, he could abandon the three counties of Nanjiaozhou and retreat to Nanzhong. ”

The reason why Guan Yi said this is that, on the one hand, Nanjiaozhou is too far away from Chang'an, and the rescue of the imperial court has become unhurried. After losing the largest barrier of Pheasant Pass, the small space of the three counties of Nanjiaozhou alone could not compete with the Wu army. On the other hand, on the historical plane, after the fall of Shu Han, Nanjiaozhou also briefly broke away from Eastern Wu and belonged to the Western Jin Dynasty. But in the end, it was too far away from the Central Plains, after Sun Hao mobilized the main force to attack. Nanjiaozhou was still taken by Soochow.

If it doesn't matter if that's the case, the key is that Mao Jiong and Yang Ji, the guards of Nanjiao Prefecture on the historical plane, died miserably in the end. Guan Yi didn't want his third uncle to suffer an accident.

"Da Sima's opinion, I agreed. It's just that the three counties of Nanjiaozhou are the only outlet to the sea for my Han now. If these three counties are lost, then our maritime trade? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has always wanted to wait another year or two for the domestic situation to be completely stabilized before attacking Wu. However, since Dongwu is looking for death by himself, there is no need to think about anything else. Your Majesty, please raise an army of 400,000 and destroy Soochow in one fell swoop! ”
