Chapter Ninety-Six: Selecting Talents to Establish Prestige (1)
One after another edicts were sent from Jiangdu to various places, and there were signs of troop transfer everywhere in Piling County, and Shen Faxing was very flustered when he got the news. As a result, the imperial court did not take a second look at Wu County, and Zhang Xutuo and Li Jing led the army to leave.
Before Shen Faxing could rejoice, Du Fuwei led tens of thousands of Jianghuai troops to appear, dispelling his idea of recapturing Biling County.
Yang Tong issued an edict and named Du Fuwei as the Duke of Chu, but Du Fuwei had neither gratitude nor resignation. But his silence did not arouse the anger of the imperial court, which made Shen Faxing very unwilling, why did he Du Fuwei not go to Jiangdu to be a hostage, the imperial court ignored it, and he was going to be crusaded?
Shen Faxing was not only unwilling, but also unhappy, but unfortunately no one cared
Outside the main hall where civil and military officials entered the court, there were hundreds of desks, and those who were a little more careful would find that there was a vacant space in the middle of those desks, as if it had been deliberately set aside, and the shape was an extremely regular circle.
On the cloud dragon relief, Yang Tong stood with his hands behind his back, the crown bead shook slightly, on his left side, a curtain was placed, the Queen Mother and the Holy Aunt whispered in the curtain, Li Xuanba stood on the right side of Yang Dong, half a step behind Yang Dong, and then to the right, Cai Xijiu, Ming Yi, Chen Ling and others leaned down slightly, looking at many romantic talents in the square with cold faces.
There was a chair behind each of the three of them, but the emperor was standing, so why were they embarrassed to take their seats?
The Southern Sui regime was established less than a year ago, and the imperial examination had not yet been perfected, but the imperial court could not wait to recruit talents, especially Li Xuanba's plan to send Fang Xuanling and others out, and the people available to the imperial court were even more stretched.
The Jiangdu Shi clan originally planned to recommend filial piety to enter the court as officials, but was vetoed by Yang Tong and Li Xuanba, which is why there is today's assessment.
"Today's assessment is divided into two civil and military games, both of which are in charge of Lord Zhou Guogong." A eunuch read out the edict.
There was a commotion in the square. It's just that Li Xuanba is in charge of the martial arts test, why is the literary test also handed over to Li Xuanba? Cai Xijiu is standing beside him!
Li Xuanba arched his hand towards Yang Tong, Yang Tong nodded, Li Xuanba calmly walked to the circular open space in the square, and said loudly: "You are all young talents, and you must be both civil and military. This father is a martial artist, so I will test your martial arts first. ”
At this time, the civil and military families had not yet separated, like Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others, although they were known for their outstanding strategy, they were not powerless scholars.
"Lord Zhou Guogong, dare to ask what are the rules?" Someone asked aloud.
"Those who can adhere to the three moves under this duke can enter the court as an official!" Li Xuanba's eyes were like torches, he glanced at everyone, and said lightly. The three moves are just a blink of an eye. But when the young men heard this, they looked at each other, and there was the sound of gasping air everywhere.
"Lord Zhou Guogong is a powerful enemy with the courage of thousands of troops, and we are ashamed of ourselves." Someone else got up and saluted, arched his hand and said: "The traitor Zhou Zitong is strong in martial arts, and he still died under the adult's move, so we really don't dare to compete with the adult." ”
In the two wars of Hailing and Jinling, Li Xuanba first took Li Zitong's head among the ten thousand armies. More than 600 people were killed on the wall of the Jinling Tomb, and the literary style of Jiangdu prevailed. It is indeed a little difficult for them to face Li Xuanba, who is like a murderous maniac.
"If you are allowed to go to the battlefield, how can you stabilize the morale of the army?" Li Xuanba waited for a moment, and when he saw that no one dared to stand up, he couldn't help frowning.
"Battlefield killing. It's not all about individual bravery. A middle-aged man stood up and retorted: "It's okay to defend against the enemy with a plan." ”
"If the enemy sticks to the barrier and does not come out, even if you are full of wisdom, what can you do?" Li Xuanba turned to look at the man: "At that time, apart from besieging the city, what other strategies could you use?" When Li Xuanba said this, he suddenly remembered Yao Junsu in Hedong.
"Why not besiege the city and send reinforcements?" The middle-aged man's gaze did not shy away. He replied in a deep voice.
Li Xuanba thought about it, put himself in Li Jiancheng's situation, and found that there was really no way to face Yao Junsu, who was stubbornly defending Hedong.
"You're right." Li Xuanba was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "However, as the so-called hundred secrets and one omission, who can guarantee that he will never miscalculate?" If you fall for the enemy's plan, do you sit back and wait for death? ”
"Hui Zhou Guogong's words mean below: the leader of the army, the plan is the first, and the military is secondary." The man bowed down and replied, "In the face of Lord Zhou Guogong, we have no power to resist, but it does not mean that we will do the same in the face of others. ”
"Hey, Bengong originally just wanted to see if anyone dared to fight, and he didn't plan to really compete with anyone." Li Xuanba shook his head in disappointment: "Liang Xiao, it's up to you to accept their challenge." ”
Liang Xiao walked to Li Xuanba's side in silence and bowed. A soldier brought the horse, Liang Xiao turned over and jumped up, took the horse lance without an opening, and walked arrogantly in the field.
Everyone only heard that there was a young man named Liang Xiao by Li Xuanba's side, who had good martial arts and had always protected Li Xuanba's safety, but they had never heard that he could still fight on horseback, so they couldn't help but be eager to try, but because Liang Xiao was too young, no one wanted to fight first.
Li Xuanba returned to Yang Tong's side, shook his head and smiled, and shouted: "Those who win Liang Xiao, seal the eight ranks." As soon as these words came out, several people stood up at the same time, humbled each other, and a young man in his twenties stepped forward.
Li Xuanba was not afraid of excitement, only worried that it would be cold, and when he saw someone coming out, he waved his hand to signal the start of the competition.
The young man got on his horse and chose a spear, he and Liang Xiao arched their hands to each other, and after exchanging names, they rode their horses to kill each other.
When Liang Xiao was in the Xingyang Army, he was asked by Li Xuanba to learn kung fu immediately, and now he has been abandoned for a while, and he is still a little rusty, and he has always responded to the enemy with a defensive posture. Seeing this, the young man became more and more aggressive, and in the time of a stick of incense, the two had been fighting for more than 80 rounds.
"I didn't expect Liang Xiao's kung fu to be so good." Yang Tong praised: "The one who is against him is the leader of the Xu family's generation, and it is rare for Liang Xiao to not fall behind in the face of him." ”
"No matter how good the martial arts are, what's the use of not having blood?" Li Xuanba said dissatisfied. He was not talking about Liang Xiao, but about the so-called young talents present.
"Zhou Guogong, I can't blame them, your reputation is really scary." Yang Tong laughed out loud and said, "Besides, you are so young, how can they seek shame on themselves? ”
While speaking, Liang Xiao and the Xu family made another move, the two horses staggered, and suddenly, Xu Gongzi used a move back to the horse pistol, pointing directly at Liang Xiao's back. Liang Xiao seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and on the side of his body, he steadily grabbed the spear with one hand, and then swept towards Xu Gongzi with a horse lance.
Xu Gongzi's face was fearless, and he blocked in front of him with the handle of his gun, and both horses stopped.
Liang Xiao's horse lance followed the handle of the gun and went straight to Xu Gongzi's right hand, and as soon as Xu Gongzi's right hand was released, he grabbed the handle of the gun with his left hand and pulled it hard, and his strength was much greater than when he used his right hand.
It turned out that the son of the Xu family was actually left-handed. (To be continued.) )
