Chapter Eighty-Six: Grinding
On the second day of the release of the list, Ye Zhao met with the thirty-six selected students in the Hussar General's Mansion very ceremoniously.
In addition to the fact that there are only six people in the top three, there are ten people in each level of the third and second grades, which has already made up the number of thirty-six people, and the rest are all C-class students, who have no chance to participate in this selection.
Under Ye Zhaoshuai's position, the thirty-six scholars on the list were ranked once, and they were all in good spirits, even if Gan Ning was cleaned up by Guan Yu yesterday, he was pouting his butt at the moment, trying to straighten his chest, looking a little weird, the people around him wanted to laugh, but because of this solemn environment, they didn't dare to laugh, and they were very uncomfortable.
"Childe, everyone is here." Uncle Liang stood beside Ye Zhao and bowed down, as the old man of the Ye family, not only watched Ye Zhao grow up, but also when Ye Zhao came out of office and traveled to the Central Plains, it was also Uncle Liang who was helping him take care of the family affairs in an orderly manner.
Although he has no official position, everyone knows that as long as Ye Zhao is still alive and is still the lord of Shu, Uncle Liang is the kind of existence that belongs to the third level of the official university.
"This time the selection of scholars, Chengdu/Du Academy, plus the recommendation of various families, attacked five hundred and seven people to participate in the assessment, respectively, to assess martial arts, political strategy and the art of war." Ye Zhao cleared his voice, looked at the students and scholars who sat down, and said with a smile: "First of all, congratulations to you, you can be selected from among the five hundred talents, and you can be regarded as the pillar of my Shu, Ben Hou said before, do not ask about the background, only ask about the talent, as long as you can pass the assessment, you can go out, there are three counties and thirty-six counties, including Shu County, Guanghan, Qianwei three counties are extremely vassal countries, according to your ranking, arrangement, full of favor." ”
"Whoa!" Man Zhong stepped forward with a book in his hand, unfolded the book, looked at everyone, and read aloud: "Zhang Ren led the county order of Hanjia County, a subordinate state of Shu County, Guan Ping led Qianwei the county order of Zhuti County, Gan Ning led the Yinping Dao of the three roads of the Guanghan subordinate state, and Cheng Fang led the county order of Guotu County, which belonged to the Shu Army...... Le Qian leads the Mianzhu County Order! ”
As Man Zhong read out the letter of appointment, everyone's expressions gradually became strange, and Zhu Yu wondered: "Lord, has the Mandu Order been recited?" ”
Although the subject states of the three counties are nominally owned by the three counties, in fact, most of them are mixed with Qiang and Han and even dominated by Qiang people, and they are not directly under the jurisdiction of Shuzhong at all, but only nominally belonged.
"That's right!" Ye Zhao stood up and said indifferently: "Ben Hou entered the office at the age of sixteen, when he was in Youzhou Macheng, you may not have heard of it, at that time there were only more than 1,000 households in Macheng, and it was less than 50 miles away from Danhan Mountain, and it was harassed by Hu all the year round, Hu and Han lived together, the people were thin, and the land was deserted. ”
"Saying this, I am not showing you how powerful Ben Hou is, Ben Hou just wants to tell you that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the edge of the sword comes from the sharpening; If there is no experience in Macheng, Ben Hou may not have today's glory, the top three people, are the pillars of my Shu talents, governance of the anointed place, although there is no risk, but there will be no great achievements, this selection of people also has the meaning of experience, if in the prosperous place, Ben Hou is worried, these talents are corrupted by the prosperity, and finally the people, the top three six people, not only the post of the county order, but also the position of the leading Sima, this Hou can give you two hundred soldiers each, for you to dispatch, but there are five hundred preparations, as for whether the preparation can be completed, it all depends on your ability. ”
"This is not an academy, you can abandon everything and study with peace of mind, since you and the other six are the best disciples in this class, Ben Hou hopes that you and the others can make enough achievements to prove that you are the best." Ye Zhao looked at the six people and said loudly: "Of course, you can also refuse, there are other counties in the three counties for the six to choose." ”
"Lord!" Zhang Ren took a step forward, bowed down and said, "The student is willing to go to the post and fix the trouble for the Lord!" ”
"Guan Ping is also willing to clear the universe for the Lord!" Not to be outdone, Guan Ping strode out and said loudly.
"The power of the local military and government belongs to you, I don't want you to have any constraints, Benhou can provide convenience for you, but I hope you won't disappoint me!" Ye Zhao nodded with satisfaction.
Several other disciples also stepped forward to ask for their lives, and even the second-class students also hoped to be transferred to a barren place and show their talents.
Ye Zhao looked at Gan Ning, and among the crowd, only Gan Ning did not speak.
"Leaf ...... The main ...... "Gan Ning is a little embarrassed, obviously he is still loyal to Ye Zhao, why is this posture now, making him feel persecuted."
"Xingba doesn't want to go, Benhou won't be embarrassed, among the rest of the counties, Xingba can choose one, but the military power can't be given to you." Ye Zhao said indifferently.
"No...... No! Gan Ning hurriedly shook his head, and said with some reluctance: "Lord, my subordinates have brought some people from their hometown this time, and their skills are good, I wonder if my subordinates can integrate them into the army?" ”
"Two hundred is enough?" Ye Zhao asked.
"Almost." Gan Ning nodded and said, although there are not two hundred, there are also a hundred and dozens of people.
"Then I will help you make up the number of two hundred, but these people need to be included in our army, and officials and generals from all over the country must not have private soldiers." Ye Zhao said indifferently.
"Don't worry, the lord is not worried, since Gan Ning has been loyal to the lord, they are naturally the lord's people." Gan Ning nodded.
"If there is no objection, the official seal and documents will be issued immediately, Fang Yue, Ding Li, the two of you will help the six people go to the army to select soldiers and leave immediately." Ye Zhao looked at everyone.
"Whoa!" Fang Yue and Ding Li took a step forward, bowed to Ye Zhao with everyone, and then retreated.
"Childe, will there be any accidents in doing this?" After everyone dispersed, Uncle Liang said with some worry.
The Ye family finally has today's momentum, these young talents are the future of the Ye family, Ye Zhao has such a ruthless training method, he is worried that these talents will die early before they can shine.
"They're all good people." Ye Zhao shook his head: "Uncle Liang, don't spoil them too much, without tempering, it will always be difficult to be alone, I was much more difficult than them back then, even the state capital has people who want my life, I recruit talents, not to protect them." ”
Uncle Liang just mentioned it casually, and when he saw that Ye Zhao had already asserted, he didn't say anything more, and followed Ye Zhao to the mansion together.
In the evening, Zhang Ren and the six people had already selected their own soldiers, these were all selected elites in the army, and they were not required to go to training again, and after everyone said goodbye to each other, they went home.
Guan Ping stood in front of the gate of the Guan Mansion, and helplessly glared at Gan Ning, who was pouting and following him, and said, "What are you doing with me?" ”
"Brother Guan doesn't have to be so polite, I will leave tomorrow, and I naturally came here to say goodbye to my teacher." Gan Ning pouted his buttocks, looking familiar, and seemed to have forgotten that just yesterday, the two of them were still thinking about the sword.
"My family's sword technique is a family heirloom, and it is impossible to grant it to you!" Guan Ping snorted coldly, what is the idea of this thing, he is very clear in his heart.
"I didn't expect to learn the Guan family's knife technique, but I just hoped that my teacher could give me some more skills!" Gan Ning said with a smile, his family lineage can be traced back to the Warring States Period, and there are naturally family heirlooms of martial arts in the family, but no matter how good the martial arts are, it depends on who performs them, and they need to be broadcast by a famous teacher, in Gan Ning's opinion, Guan Yu is obviously a famous teacher.
"Father may not teach you!" Guan Ping said helplessly.
"It's okay, it's okay, just go and pay a visit, you and I are the same door, why be so indifferent, the so-called don't fight and don't know each other, you and I are both men, and the feelings between these men are all played." Gan Ning smiled and hugged Guan Ping's shoulders and said: "If Brother Guan is in trouble in the future, just tell me, brother, I don't have much else, that is, there are many brothers, in this land of Bashu, there is no brother who is unfair!" ”
"Who's your brother?" Guan Ping snorted coldly and said, "Do you dare to say this in front of the lord?" ”
"This ......" Gan Ning smiled: "I'm talking about the green forest, this green forest heroes in Shu, basically have a friendship with me, you know, there are some things, the government is not suitable to come forward, but the green forest can be settled." ”
"The Major General is back!" When the two were talking at the door, they saw Zhou Cang coming out of the door, and when they saw the two, they couldn't help but be stunned: "This is ......"
"In Xia Ganning, Brother Guan is a friend of the year!" Without waiting for Guan Ping to speak, Gan Ning had already stepped forward and said to Zhou Cang with a smile: "I am also fortunate to be recommended by Brother Guan, so I got General Guan's guidance, and I came to thank you today." ”
"It turned out to be a friend of the major general, please." Zhou Cang did not follow Guan Yu to the academy yesterday, and when he heard the rumors, he did not suspect him, so he turned sideways and introduced the two into the Guan Mansion.
"Uncle Cang...... Father he ......" Guan Ping ignored Gan Ning, but looked at Zhou Cang and said, "Still angry?" ”
"The general's temper, the young general should know." Zhou Cang sighed and shook his head.
"It's just that I'm going to work tomorrow, and I won't be at home for the next year, my father ......" Guan Ping was a little embarrassed, he wanted Guan Yu to stay, this time he could be valued by Ye Zhao, and he was appointed as the county commander of Zhuti, and he had the heart to show his strength, but he was worried that Guan Yu would leave when he went to work, and he was quite entangled in his heart.
"So fast?" Zhou Cang frowned and thought about it: "Young General, go and rest, I'll go talk to the general." ”
"Then there will be Uncle Lao Cang." Guan Ping nodded and watched Zhou Cang leave.
"What's going on?" Gan Ning came up curiously.
"My family's business has nothing to do with you." Guan Ping frowned and looked at Gan Ningdao.
"That's right, and you still treat me as an outsider?" Gan Ning glared at Guan Pingdao.
"Of course."
Gan Ning: "......"
Taking a deep breath, Gan Ning came up and said, "Brother Guan, talk to me, maybe I have a way!" ”
"You?" Guan Ping looked at Gan Ning and said, "Really? ”
"How do I know if you don't tell me?" Gan Ning looked at Guan Pingdao with a gossipy face.
"It's good ......"
