Chapter 180: Examination and Selection of Officers (3)
The strong man arched his hand and said, "Meet General Pingdong below!" I heard that General Pingdong selected officials by assessment, so I came to try it! ”
"Well, what's your name? Who? ”
"Under the surname Xu Minghuang, the word Gongming, a native of Yang County, Hedong!"
"Xu Huang? Are you Xu Huang? Jiang Sheng wondered if he had heard it wrong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's Xu Huang down there, has General Pingdong heard of it?"
"Ah, of course I've heard of it, you are the head of Cao Wei's five good generals!" Jiang Sheng was quick for a while, and he leaked the heavenly secret again, but history has changed, and this is not a heavenly opportunity.
"Cao Wei? Five good generals? Xu Huang was confused, what is this?
"Ahem-I said it wrong, I mean you can be the head of the good generals, you don't need to take the test, you were hired." Jiang Sheng hurriedly covered up.
There were also many candidates who looked at Jiang Sheng with blank eyes, and Jiang Sheng said, "Do you want to have a discussion with Xu Huang?" ”
Everyone was silent, even Zhao Yun was difficult to fight against this Xu Huang, and they didn't dare to think about it, so they were convinced that Jiang Sheng would admit Xu Huang without examination.
Jiang Sheng said: "The martial arts exam is not as good as the liberal arts, and those who have the ability can pass the test without the assessment, but the ability is not self-appointed, but to be convincing." Now I declare that the martial arts examination is now open. ”
The martial arts examination was arranged for two days, and the morning of the first day was a cultural test to see if they could read or write, and those who were illiterate could only be soldiers; In the afternoon martial arts exam, Jiang Sheng chose several examples of ancient fame for candidates to analyze and judge.
On the barracks and school grounds, these candidates held the pen and looked at the test papers in front of them, they were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, it seems that there are not many people who apply for the martial arts examination, most of them have handed in blank papers, and some can't even write their own names, Jiang Sheng shook his head again and again.
But this is also the reality, educated people have gone to become officials, only these people who have brute strength and are illiterate will go to the army, it seems that it is necessary to engage in literacy in the army.
Jiang Sheng saw that many candidates were depressed, so he said: "The martial arts examination is divided into four subjects, and the final selection of officials is based on the overall evaluation results. ”
When everyone heard this, their spirits were lifted, but the martial arts test in the afternoon was still a difficult problem, they were illiterate and could not understand what was written on the test paper.
Jiang Sheng said: "For the sake of fairness, illiterate people can answer on the spot. ”
When the exam started in the afternoon, Zhao Yun asked the literate people to answer the questions in writing, and the illiterate people lined up to wait for the on-site exam. Before starting the exam, Zhao Yun gave everyone a test paper and read the battle examples in the test paper to him so that they could prepare in advance.
After the exam, Jiang Sheng let him answer the questions one by one, and more than 20 people who went in at the beginning were rejected by Jiang Sheng, and they didn't understand what war was at all, and a few of them were clearly literate, but they pretended to be illiterate, and wanted to recommend themselves to Jiang Sheng in person, but Jiang Sheng rejected them.
After the young man entered the account, Jiang Sheng pointed to the pen and paper on the case and said, "Write your name!" ”
The young man picked up the pen and wrote his name on the paper, Jiang Sheng looked at his posture with the pen, he must be able to write, but he was afraid that he was a liar again.
After the young man wrote the name, he handed it to Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng wanted to reject it, but after seeing the name on the paper, he changed his mind, because the name was Tian Yu.
Many readers may not know Tian Yu, but Tian Yu is indeed a famous general who is rampant in northern Xinjiang, and historical records record that Tian Yu has guarded northern Xinjiang for many years and made great contributions to Cao Cao. I didn't expect that at a young age, he would come to Jiang Sheng to apply for the martial arts exam.
"Tian Yu! Let's talk about it, why do you lie that you can't read? Jiang Sheng asked.
"Please forgive the General! I see that the examples on the test paper are not the best strategy, there are many tricks, and the analysis is not interesting, can you allow me to choose my own examples to comment? ”
"Yes! As long as it makes sense! ”
"The boy has an axe, let's talk about the example of the general's battle of breaking the water and breaking the city."
"Oh? You kid study me? ”
"Don't dare! I'm just a little puzzled, and I want to communicate with the general. ”
"Okay, you can say it."
"The water level of the Hutuo River is higher than the ground of the city of Xiaquyang, and I think the general can directly dig the moat without diversion, and flood the lower Quyang, which can save manpower and time, and completely break the will of the defenders."
"What you said, I haven't thought about it, but you must know that the city is not full of Yellow Turban Army, there are thousands of people, although flooding Quyang is a lore, but it is a disaster for the people. Our purpose in cursing thieves is not only to maintain the rule of the imperial court, but also to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”
Tian Yu, who was only eighteen years old, listened attentively, and after a while, he said: "The general is benevolent, what a shame to be here!" ”
"Have you ever thought about the Saibei aliens?" Jiang Sheng asked suddenly.
"I thought about it and deeply agreed with the strategy of the general to rule Wuhuan in three parts, but each clan has its own talents, and if each ministry is allowed to develop itself, it will be a disaster in the future. I have thought of a way to do this, for the Huns and the alien races close to my border, who have been attached to my Han in recent years, they should be cared for and rewarded, which can be the barrier of the Han Dynasty; As for Xianbei, they live nomadically, and if they are caressing, they will waste their efforts, so they should be the main ones. ”
"Well, you have a point, I'll give you a high score, you can go."
"General, I have no intention of being an official, please allow me to follow left and right!" Tian Yu did not retreat, but advanced.
"Tian Yu, if young people are aggressive, it is normal for people to know that the Lord will do things, but you are just a candidate now, and you must compete on an equal footing with others, and those who can do it will be on the top!"
"I see! General Xie pointed! I won't let you down! ”
"Okay, I'll see how you perform!" Jiang Sheng still praises this kind of motivated young people, but it can't breed their conceited thoughts, but to stimulate their fighting spirit.
The martial arts examination did not end until dusk, Jiang Sheng stayed in the camp for a day, and was very tired, so he slept in the camp tent that night, and reviewed the candidates' answer sheets by the way.
The martial arts test on the second day is divided into two parts, the morning test is riding, archery, melee fighting, instant killing and other basic combat skills, except for melee combat is a real confrontation, other items are used target obstacles, and the afternoon subject is to observe the terrain and draw a map.
Jiang Sheng asked Zhao Yun to pull the team to a hilly area fifty miles away, demarcated the examination site and sent a guard, and then organized the candidates to start the assessment, on-site screening, many candidates were directly brushed off, if there is no basic combat skills, no matter how good the first two subjects are, it is also on paper, and the afternoon assessment is to test the candidates' tactical command level, observing the terrain and drawing maps have always been the necessary skills of officers.
