Chapter 334: Cao Mengde is dead

"Lord, Sima Yi asks to see!"

"Pass him in!" After the soldiers brought Sima Yi in, they went down, and there were only two people left in a military tent in Nuoda. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Meet the prince!" Sima Yi bowed respectfully to Su Chen, but don't underestimate the difference in this simple title, but in fact, it has a deep meaning.

Some people call him the lord, most of these people are old ministers who followed him earlier, Guo Jia and others are called so, and even his personal soldiers and tiger guards are called so.

There are also people who call him the prince, this title is second only to the lord, most of these people came to him later, and the relationship is not as close as the old ministers who started before, and he does not trust those old ministers as much.

As for the last layer, it is called King Yan, most of this title is exclusive to foreign ministers or people who surrender, such as Xu Rong and Gan Ning, although Su Chen showed enough attention to them, but the two knew that there was a difference between relatives and relatives, so they called him King Yan, and this title also best demonstrated his authority, but with authority, the kinship relationship naturally faded.

"Zhongda is back, but there is good news for this king?" For Sima Yi, Su Chen has always been both used and guarded, in front of Sima Yi, he is very majestic, not as casual and natural as when he gets along with Guo Jia, which is also a kind of deterrent to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi also felt that the majesty of Su Chen's body was better than one day, he cheered up, did not dare to slack off, and slowly reported what he had done in the city one by one, and finally said: "Lord Wang, now the powerful family of Wancheng has been quite dissatisfied with Cao Cao, and under the contact of his subordinates, he has won over several major families, who are willing to take refuge in the prince, and are willing to cooperate with the outside when necessary, and open the city gate for the prince." But ......"

"But what?"

Sima Yi said with some apprehension: "But these people also have a request, hoping to send the descendants of their family to Taixue. ”

After Su Chen occupied Luoyang, he was ready to reopen Taixue, Taixue was the highest institution of learning in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Taixue had it since the Zhou Dynasty, but the Taixue that Su Chen was preparing to reopen was a little different, and the difference was mainly due to the different sources of students.

Yenching Academy has provided a large number of talents for Su Chen's rule over the years to help him govern the prefecture and county, and it is precisely because of this that he deeply understands the importance of education, and he has asked the cabinet to draw up a document to prepare for the grading of education.

Specifically, it is divided into county schools, county schools and universities, and his plan is to establish at least one county school in each county, and the teachers of the county school will hire local talented scholars, or directly select from the Yenching Academy, and the county school is mainly responsible for the role of enlightenment.

The county school is a managed school, so the cost is very low, even ordinary people can have the opportunity to study, as for the county school, it is to hire local Confucians or select scholars with good knowledge from the academy to serve as teachers, and there are universities on top of the county schools, and universities will not be established in every state.

So far, he is only preparing to establish five universities, first Yanjing Academy, followed by Qingzhou Academy, Yangzhou Academy, Taihang Academy, and Taixue.

Taihang Academy is based on the original Taihang Academy, re-established a university in Taiyuan, and the students of the university are examined from the county school, and those with good grades are selected to enter the university for further study, and the county school will also go through the examination when promoted to the county school.

The academy examination is a very normal thing, and this subtle influence will not be strongly opposed by the family, which is also his strategy to gradually weaken the family's power.

As for entering Taixue, he can only select talented students from universities around the country to enter, he doesn't want Taixue to become a concentration of powerful children, of course, in the early stage, Taixue will definitely be filled with a large number of meritorious children, which is also a reward for these heroes.

Taixue students need to take the graduation examination after graduation, and only after passing the examination can they be allowed to graduate, and after graduation, they will be selected by the government to serve as local officials, starting slowly from the grassroots level, this disguised imperial examination can paralyze the nerves of the family to the greatest extent, and when they react, the academies around the country have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, at that time his foundation has been formed, and the family can only teach the younger generations strictly if they want to continue to maintain the current leading position.

Taixue's sacrificial wine fell on Cai Yong as a whole, and as for other Confucians such as Zheng Xuan, Wang Lie, Le Yin, and Guan Ning, they will also serve as sacrificial wines in universities around the country and be in charge of Yizhou academic politics.

Sima Yi has been by Su Chen's side, and of course he knows about the reopening of Taixue, so he was a little apprehensive when he made this request.

Su Chen said disapprerovingly: "Yes, but each family has a maximum of two junior disciples entering Taixue." ”

Hearing Su Chen say this, Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then listened to Su Chen continue: "You enter the city again and agree with those powerful families, three days later, this king will break through Wancheng, and then you need their help to open the city gate, you go down." ”

"No!"

Wancheng has run out of ammunition and food, Cao Cao will hold on for three more days at most, and after three days, Cao Cao's mountains will be exhausted, and he will be able to attack Wancheng in one go.

To tell the truth, a Wancheng let him delay his time here, and consumed a lot of grain and grass, and he can be said to be quite resentful of Cao Cao, but now everything is coming to an end.

For three days in a row, Su Chen ordered the soldiers to rest, only to surround Wancheng, no need to attack the city again, Cao Cao also had a rare rest for three days, but he knew that this was the calm before the storm.

Su Chen has not been idle in the past three days, he has asked people to shoot a large number of persuasion letters into the city, Sima Yi also mobilized those powerful families to spread rumors in the city, the entire Wancheng has become a frightened bird, the great war in the past few days has made the people miserable, and even a lot of deserters have appeared.

As soon as the three days passed, Su Chen ordered Xu Rong to attack the city immediately, Xu Rong was responsible for attacking the north gate, Cao Cao also went to the north gate in person, Xu Rong's 100,000 troops gathered at the north gate, giving Cao Jun the illusion that the Yan army would break the city from the north gate.

Secretly, Su Chen asked Xu Chu to lead 30,000 troops to attack the east gate, which was also the place where he and Sima Yi discussed the breaking of the city.

Of course, the other two gates were also attacked, but they were all thunder and rain, Cao Cao didn't find out at all that Su Chen was secretly plotting to Chen Cang, and when the soldiers told him that the east gate had been broken, Cao Cao was stupid directly.

Looking at the menacing Xu Rong army outside the city, Cao Cao raised his head to the sky and shouted: "It's God who will kill me, Su Chen, I didn't expect that I would also follow in the footsteps of the original, hahahaha!" ”

At this moment, Cao Cao seemed to be old all of a sudden, and he really didn't want to see his former "brother" as a prisoner, so after laughing, Cao Cao immediately killed himself with a sword while the people around him were not paying attention.

"Lord ......"

By the time Xun Yu was full of favors, it was already too late, Cao Cao killed himself, which suddenly disrupted Xun Yu's deployment, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is the eldest prince?" ”

"Report! The eldest prince was killed by Xu Chu at the east gate! It turned out that Cao Ang was responsible for guarding the West Gate, and when he learned that the East Gate was broken, Cao Ang hurriedly led people to rescue, but when he arrived, Xu Chu had already entered the city, Cao Ang led the Cao army to meet Xu Chu directly, Xu Chu saw that this young general was extraordinary, and his hands itched for a while, and he didn't hold back and slaughtered Cao Ang.

"What?" Xun Yu didn't expect Cao Ang to die, originally he still hoped to support Cao Ang to break through, but now everything is over, Xun Yu looked at the full favor, and then at the soldiers who were attacking wildly, and said: "Let's open the city and surrender, so that the lord can have a whole corpse!" ”

"Hey!" Man Chong also nodded and agreed, they are all people with families, not alone, now that the lord he is loyal to is dead, and the Cao family has disappeared, they have to plan for themselves.

Wancheng was broken, and when Su Chen saw Cao Cao's corpse, he sighed and said, "Burial with the gift of the prince!" ”

"Thank you, King Yan!" Xun Yu, Man Chong, Mao Jie, and others fell to the ground one after another.

Cao Cao did not claim the title of king, but Su Chen was buried with the gift of a prince, which was already a high standard, and this was the last thing Xun Yu and others could do for the old master.

Su Chen set up a banquet in Wancheng and entertained Xun Yu and the others, and then asked: "Wen Ruo, this king has also been friends with you for a long time, your Xun family is now also under this king, Gongda and Youruo are also officials under this king, this king has long heard that Wen Ruo has the talent of Wang Zuo, I don't know if Wen Ruo is willing to assist this king?" ”

Xun Yu has been running around with Cao Cao all these years, and he is already a little tired of it, plus he is already loyal to the Han family, but now that the Han family exists in name only, he has lost his heart to become a leader, and refused: "Thanks to King Yan's love, but Yu is now disheartened and lazy, and he really doesn't want to be an official, so I implore King Yan to allow Yu to return to the mountains and forests." ”

Su Chen's gaze stayed on his face for a while, and when he saw that he had made up his mind, he agreed: "Well, since you have no intention of becoming a leader, this king will not force it, but Wen Ruo is talented, and your Xun family is a family of scholars, and this king wants to rebuild Yingchuan Academy, I don't know if Wen Ruo can serve as a sacrificial wine?" ”

"This..."To be honest, Yingchuan Academy is the pride of his Xun family, and it is also the inheritance of his Xun family, Su Chen is full of fists, Xun Yu also knows that if he resigns, it will be a little bad, and it will even bring harm to the Xun family, so he responded: "I don't dare to ask for ears!" ”

"Well, Lao Wenruo will bother with the rebuilding of Yingchuan Academy, and this king will ask the Ministry of Rites to make a statement later, and Wenruo only needs to do things according to the rules."

After dealing with Xun Yu, he asked the full pet Mao rank again, and the two did not refuse Su Chen's solicitation, and expressed their willingness to take refuge in Su Chen, and then Su Chen asked the two of them to serve as waiters in the six departments.

As for those small shrimps under Cao Cao, almost all of them have taken refuge in Su Chen, for them, the future is the most important thing, Cao Cao is dead, they are not considered betrayals, and the Cao family is almost completely wiped out except for one Cao Pi.

And after Cao Pi learned that his eldest brother and father were killed in battle, he also left Lumen Academy and disappeared.
