Wu State, Jinling City, Royal Palace.

The Imperial Study.

In Jiangdong in mid-June, it was already hot, and in the spacious imperial study, several powerful Praetorian Guards were fanning the wind with big pu fans, and Sun Quan felt steaming.

In these years, there are no electric fans, no air conditioning, and on summer days, barely relying on a bowl of sour plum soup, it is really not easy to boil.

But today, Sun Quan's mood is much higher than the weather.

He held a file in his hand for the registration of scholars in the imperial examination, and the files were lined up, indicating the origin, origin, and nationality of the scholars, and the more he looked at his handsome face, the happier he still became.

"Kuai Cifu, it seems that the degree of success of the imperial examination this time is beyond Lone's expectations, and it is Lonely's worry!"

The frenzy of scholars caused by the imperial examination was indeed expected by him, and he would have had a lot of means to publicize this imperial examination, but there was no need at all.

"This time, it's not just the king who is too worried, these old guys in our cabinet are shocked!"

Kuai Liang stood in front of the three steps of the imperial case, bowed slightly to Sun Quan, and said respectfully: "As soon as the news of the imperial examination came out, it was only six or seven days, and it had already caused the restlessness of all the scholars. ”

As soon as the news of the imperial examination came out, it triggered the mania of the entire Shilin, and there were waves of scholars from all over the country who rushed to the capital to take the exam, this kind of violent reaction, not to mention Sun Quan, even if he had studied all his life, he was shocked.

Until then, they all think. The imperial examination is a new policy, and it will be rejected by scholars, so I am still worried. How can we lead to the implementation of the imperial examination policy?

However, they, who enveloped those famous Confucians, may have underestimated the sentence of reading and becoming a scholar.

Studying is for the sake of career.

There is no doubt that how many people have suffered for ten years, just to be able to stand on top of the temple overnight, for fame and fortune. For the ideal, for the glory of the ancestors.

In recent years, the policy of promoting filial piety and honesty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the court, and at the same time, it has also suppressed the hearts of scholars. There are more scholars who have not asked for ten years, so as soon as the imperial examination policy comes out, it seems to be a torrent that has opened the floodgates, and it is out of control

Wu Guochaotang probably didn't expect that the imperial examination policy would cause a manic mentality of scholars who wanted to become a scholar.

"That's fine!"

Sun Quan's eyes burned. Like a brilliant sun. Shining brightly, he smiled and said loudly: "At least we can waste a little less of our propaganda means." ”

"King, it turns out that we are not as long-term as the king!" Kuai Liang is now convinced of Sun Quan, this monarch who is only twenty years old, will always have abilities that he doesn't know.

This time, there were not many people who were optimistic about the imperial examination at first. There are even officials who think that Sun Quan is unusual, but in the end it was proven. Sun Quan was right.

Regarding the rivers and mountains of Wu State, Sun Quan, the king, sees it more clearly and much more clearly than those old guys who think they are experienced.

"Don't flatter Lonely, Lone will be proud!"

Sun Quan showed a satisfied smile, waved his hand, and then said: "Kuai Cifu, this is the first imperial examination of Wu State, there must be more trivial things, and there will be some accidents in the middle, the most important thing is that Director Cai has a hard temper and can't tolerate a little sand in his eyes, you know this."

He is the chief examiner, so that the imperial examination can be fair and just, but he must not take care of all aspects of things, and you and Gu Yong are the deputy examiners, you must improve all things for him, and make this imperial examination complete, and there must be no mistakes! ”

The imperial examination is just a test now, if it is completely completed, but the national policy of Wu will be passed on from generation to generation in the future.

There is no room for surprise.

"No!"

Kuai Liang's eyes were blazing and he nodded.

The weight of the imperial examination this time, he knew it in his heart.

The first imperial examination, you can imagine the role of the Wu court, once this imperial examination is completed, then it will replace the system of filial piety and honesty, and become the system of electing officials of the Wu court.

Although Cai Yong is the main examiner for the imperial examination this time, Cai Yong's temper is notoriously rigid in the entire Wu country, and he doesn't know how to be flexible, and if he wants to run the imperial examination well, he not only needs a fair and just ruling, but sometimes he also has to relax a little boundary.

After all, the imperial examination is not only an examination for scholars, but also a way to balance all academies and major families.

When the water is clear, there are no fish.

If the relationship in this regard is not well adjusted, there will definitely be problems in the imperial examination.

There are many cabinet elders in the cabinet, and he is not the only one in the cabinet, Sun Quan gave him the deputy power of the imperial examination this time, in fact, it is to see that he has just entered the cabinet, so that he has a little political career and can gain a firm foothold in the cabinet.

If things are done well, he can be regarded as a stable cabinet deputy in the position.

"That's right!"

Sun Quan suddenly remembered one more thing, he looked at Kuai Liang, and said, "There is one more thing, Lone needs to be personally led by you to establish a Hanlin Academy under the command of the cabinet!" ”

"Hanlin Academy?"

When Kuai Liang heard this, he was a little confused in his heart.

"Kuai Cifu, excellent reading does not mean that he can be an official, and a perfect exam does not mean that he can become a good official for the country and the people, after the imperial examination, all the students on the list must stay in the Hanlin Academy for a year, and you old-timers who have worked hard all their lives in the court will personally train them as officials."

Sun Quan paused and continued: "As for the main duties of the Hanlin Academy, then the cabinet will mainly do miscellaneous work, and the establishment of the Hanlin Academy can be regarded as a supplementary source for officials from all over the country, and the Hanlin Academy will be directly managed by the cabinet, but you have to communicate well with the Ministry of Officials, and I don't want to have any conflicts between the Ministry of Officials and the Cabinet in this regard!" ”

"Understood!"

Kuai Liang listened very carefully, he was not stupid, and naturally understood the meaning of Sun Quan's establishment of the Hanlin Academy, but he sighed a little in his heart: "The king's actions are really well thought out, and everything is covered. This is what the minister can't wait! ”

The imperial examination has not yet been held, and Sun Quan can think so long-term, and he is indeed extraordinary. That's the rhythm of one step and three steps.

There are many people who read, but there are not many who can become a bureaucrat well.

There is a real need for a buffer time in this regard.

Before, he didn't think of this as an old Jianghu and a few old guys in the cabinet, but Sun Quan directly made this point clear to him.

"Okay, don't come to flatter Lonely, go and do your own thing!"

Sun Quan waved his hand and handed him the file. Said lightly: "The preliminary examination will be held in August, you communicate with the Ministry of Industry and choose a site in Jinling City." In addition, the cabinet will also issue examination questions, and proper arrangements will be made for scholars from all over the country. Poorer scholars should not be neglected. Arrange suitable inns and inns, as well as the selection of invigilators...... It's all a thing, your time seems loose, but it's actually a little tight! ”

"Then Weichen will retire first!"

Kuai Liang nodded, and after saluting, he left the imperial study with some hurried steps, and headed towards the cabinet hall, the imperial examination was in September. It's only mid-June, but it's the first imperial examination. I couldn't get busy for three more months.

After Sun Quan left Kuailiang, he reviewed more than a dozen copies of the recital, but there have not been many things in various places recently, and after passing through the six ministries, the cabinet, there are not many recitals submitted to his imperial case.

He put down the pen, loosened his shoulders, looked a little tired, stood up and loosened his muscles, then took a sip of water, looked at Cao Yang standing in front of the emperor and asked, "Cao Yang, what time is it?" ”

"My lord, it's almost past three to five o'clock in the afternoon!" When Cao Yang heard this, he looked at the scale of the big hourglass next to him, and said in a low voice: "It's unitary time soon!" ”

"Unitary time?" Sun Quan's eyes lit up and said, "It's time to go home!" ”

Now his daughter-in-law is pregnant, and he gets off work relatively early during this time, so that he can go back to accompany his daughter-in-law.

"King, you said you were going to the Military Aircraft Pavilion in the morning!"

Cao Yang thought about it, and looked at the joy on Sun Quan's face, but he could only bite the bullet to remind a certain homesick king.

"Military Aircraft Pavilion? Cao Yang, you are conscientious, it's really a reminder! ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he immediately remembered that now that the Jingzhou battalion had sent troops to Hanzhong, the Military Aircraft Pavilion was planning and calculating, so he would take a look in the morning.

"Hehe, this is the work of the subordinates!" Cao Yang smiled, he was not just a eunuch, if it was about identity, he was a secretary of Sun Quan, arranging Sun Quan's one-day itinerary.

"Yes, things can't be delayed until tomorrow, so let's take a trip!"

Sun Quan looked at the sky, the sun was about to set, he didn't want to go, but he still nodded.

"Swing the Military Aircraft Pavilion!"

Cao Yang hurriedly motioned to a few soldiers of the forbidden army around him and set up a military machine pavilion.

Sun Quan is now the person sitting on the supreme throne of Wu State, the heaven of Wu State, and a large number of people are followed by him when he takes a step, and it has been half an hour after he walked to the Military Aircraft Pavilion.

At this moment, the sun on the horizon has set in the west, and under the reflection of the slanting sun, the blue bricks and red tiles of the palace of the Military Aircraft Pavilion are reflected vividly.

The generals Pan Feng, Zhao Yun, Ju Yi, Xu Shu, Chen Gong and others were still in the Military Aircraft Pavilion, and several people were discussing what was going on in a conference hall with scattered sand tables, and the voice was loud and somewhat controversial.

"The last general will meet the king!"

Suddenly seeing Sun Quan's appearance, several people hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"What are you waiting for?" Sun Quan came up, this is the splicing sand table of Jingzhou in Nanyang, Hanzhong, his eyes moved slightly, and said: "Outside the main hall, Lone can hear your voice, it seems that it is not appropriate!" ”

"King, we are now arguing, how the Jingzhou army should break the situation and surprise out, in order to achieve the effect of directly assaulting Nanzheng!"

Zhao Yun bowed down and returned respectfully.

"Where is the Jingzhou army fighting now?"

When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly asked.

Hanzhong, this is a buffer land, but it is very important for Wei and Wu, whoever can get it will have the initiative in the future western competition.

"Mean!" Ju Yi stood up, pointed to the terrain on the sand table, and said: "Now it is Yang Bai, a general under Zhang Lu, who led eight thousand elite soldiers to stick to Shangyong City, Cao Ren fought fiercely for three days without taking half a step, Chen Wu led his troops to cross Fangling and directly entered Shangyong, Cao Ren contracted his forces in the north wing of Shangyong, and the south wing of Shangyong became controlled by Chen Wu. Now Shangyong has formed a situation where Cao Ren and Chen Wu want to snatch Shangyong! ”

"Mean?"

Sun Quan looked at it, groaned for a while, and then asked, "This is a strong city." If you want to knock it down, I'm afraid it's not that easy! ”

"It wasn't that hard!" Pan Feng sighed and said: "But now that there is a situation of tripartite competition, it is really difficult, Cao Ren will not push half a step, Chen Wu wants to break through, and he will face more than just the forces in the city." And the safety of the north wing may not be easy! ”

"So, it's a stalemate!"

Sun Quan's face became more rigorous, and he started a war this year. What I am afraid of is not a difficult decisive battle, but I am afraid of a stalemate and dare not move.

The reason why the Three Kingdoms situation occurred at the end of the Han Dynasty was because of the stalemate, historically. The reason why the three countries have been able to maintain the situation for so many years. That's because of the relationship.

In history, the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, Wu aimed at Shu to defend against Wei, Shu aimed at Wei to defend against Wu, Wei was hugging left and right, wanting Wu and Shu, but it was necessary to prevent Wu and Shu from uniting.

In the end, they didn't dare to fight with all their might, and naturally there was no victory. Calling back and forth like this, but it's a cheap Sima Yi.

This is probably the most interesting thing in history.

"It's a stalemate. It is very beneficial to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, if it continues to be so deadlocked, we can only retreat in the end, and now if you want to break the situation, you can only fight a blitzkrieg! ”

Zhao Yun said categorically.

"Where's the assault?" Sun Quan asked.

"Naturally, it's Nan Zheng!" Zhao Yundao: "Only when the soldiers come to Nanzheng can they win the sovereignty of Hanzhong!" ”

"But Nanzheng is far away, there is an important pass in the middle of Xicheng, Xicheng also has heavy troops, if we want to enter Nanzheng, we must increase troops, for the Jingzhou army, at least to use all the cavalry, in this point, we have some disputes!"

Ju Yi said in a deep voice.

"It's a good thing that there is a dispute between you, and the strategic plan that fights for it is a good plan, but it is Lu Bu who started this battle, and the main will be Chen Wu, do you also have to consider the ideas of Lu Bu and Chen Wu!"

Sun Quan's gaze swept over the three of them and said lightly.

"That's what the king said!"

Xu Shu, director of the General Staff Department, stood up, nodded, and said: "But we want to come up with a complete strategic plan in the General Staff Division, and then give it to the Jingzhou battalion for reference, after all, they are here in person, we are just talking on paper, all we can do is tell them what we think!" ”

"You're doing a great job of that!"

Sun Quan smiled with satisfaction, what he wanted to do when he established the Military Aircraft Department and the General Staff Department was this effect, talking about the army on paper was not a bad thing, the more people had the idea, the more ideas he could have about meeting the enemy's commander-in-chief, and before the war, the more adequate the preparations, the smaller the casualties would be in wartime.

Today, the Military Aircraft Service and the General Staff Department have achieved little results.

"King, if Lu Bu is willing to implement this strategic plan, it will be very troublesome for the cavalry!"

Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "The Jingzhou battalion is only those two cavalry divisions, once it moves, it will be a variable for the defense of Peicheng and Xinye!" ”

"Borrowed soldiers?" Ju Yi squinted slightly.

"There is still a cavalry in Gyeonggi!" Sun Quan said suddenly.

"Overlord Iron Rider!"

The eyes of the giants of the Military Aircraft Department suddenly brightened.

"Does it work?" Sun Quan asked with a smile.

"It works!"

When Pan Feng, Ju Yi, Xu Shu and others heard this, they didn't dare to interface, but Zhao Yun, as Sun Quan's confidant, opened his mouth and said, "But don't dare to use it!" ”

Overlord Iron Cavalry, that is the descendant of Wu Guojiang Marquis Sun Bofu, although he has been deprived now, but he has to worry about it somewhat.

"Who's jealous?" Sun Quan's eyes were like blades, swept over, and said coldly.

"Jiang Hou!"

Zhao Yun said calmly.

"Zilong, you send someone to ask Lu Bu, or ask Tai Shici of Jingzhou's martial arts hall, dare to use it, can you use it!" Sun Quan's words were light, but they made several people feel a little cold.

The first sentence is to ask Lu Bu, and the second sentence is to ask Tai Shici.

"No!"

Zhao Yun hurriedly responded.

"Lone came here today, in addition to the matter in Hanzhong, there is another point, I want to know your opinion on the Battle of Hedong!"

Sun Quan sat down with a golden knife, his amber eyes scanned a few people, and said lightly: "Compared with Hanzhong, Gu cares more about Guanzhong!" ”

"King, the battle of Hedong is mainly on Pang De!"

Xu Shu groaned for a while, and handed a file to Sun Quan: "This battle Ma Teng is obviously a bit like the former Huaiyin Marquis to destroy Wei's battle, and the strategy of attacking the east and west has divided the attention of the Jin State, this is some speculation of the General Staff on the Battle of Hedong, and today the news that Pang De has broken through Liyi has been passed by the people of Jinyiwei, and we have just sorted it out, please take a look!" ”

"In this way, Han Sui must have lost!" Sun Quan looked at the detailed articles on the file, his eyes shrank slightly, and said in a low voice.

Pang Dedu has already broken Liyi City, and it is Xia Yang when he fights, once he crosses the river and returns to Anyi, Han Sui is flanked before and after, the formation will be chaotic, and Pujin Pass will not be attacked.

"Not necessarily!" Xu Shu said: "Jinyiwei still has some news, it can be pointed out, the Wei army seems to have intervened here, Hedong is adjacent to Hanoi, Hanoi sent troops, very quickly, now there are a lot of Wei soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, and there is a master of strategy Guo Jia, he has been moving a lot recently, but I don't know what they have planned!" ”

"Do you still have to guess?"

Sun Quan smiled coldly, closed the dossier, and said: "Cao Cao's heart is very big, he must let Han Sui and Ma Teng be destroyed, so that he can take Guanzhong and Xiliang in one fell swoop, and it is certain to send troops!" ”

"Sandpiper and clam compete, fisherman profit!" Ju Yi said in a deep voice: "Liang and Jin will fight to the last moment, Cao Cao will definitely send troops to clean up the mess in one fell swoop, if it is in cooperation with the changes in Chang'an City, Wei may be able to get the entire Guanzhong and Xiliang without much effort!" ”

"But if Wei wants to grasp this opportunity, it may not be so easy!"

Zhao Yun sneered: "Han Sui and Ma Teng are not vain princes, if he sends troops early, the two families will unite, he will suffer heavy losses, if he sends troops late, I am afraid that he will also give Ma Teng and Han Sui the opportunity to slip away, and there will be endless troubles!" ”

"It depends on Guo Jia's reaction!" The corners of Sun Quan's mouth raised a faint smile: "Lone also wants to see what kind of performance this ghost has performed!" ”

The battle of Guanzhong, on the surface, seems to be in the battle of Hedong, however, this battle is probably mainly in Chang'an City.

So for the battle of Hedong, Sun Quan didn't care very much, and it didn't matter whether Ma Teng and Han Sui were dead or alive.

The important thing is whether Ma Chao can fight back.

The rise of Ma Chao was able to suppress Cao Cao's intention to take Guanzhong and Xiliang in one fell swoop. (To be continued......)
