Chapter 881: The Second Imperial Examination of Great Wu

In late June, Jinling City.

Today's Jinling City, lively and noisy, the people's attention to the Keju event is still going on, has reached the level of competition for the championship.

At this time, the cabinet issued a preparatory order for the second imperial examination of Dawu.

Since the imperial examination scored a very good and spectacular result last year, it has become a way for scholars to embark on the golden steps.

The imperial examination also began at this time, which somewhat surprised the scholars.

The imperial examination of the Great Wu Dynasty is not once a year, the annual examination is only a county examination, the biennial is a county examination, and the national imperial examination is only held once every three years.

But today's Great Wu Imperial Court is really lacking in talents.

Lu Dai, the governor of Guishan, and Guan Jing, the governor of the prefecture, in order to manage the one-third of an acre of land under their command, these two people have been on the book N times to ask the court for talents.

Sun Quan can't get people at all, and the only inventory is the group of people from the Hanlin Academy, but it's not enough.

The Western Expedition is imminent, Sun Quan is very confident in taking Shu, it is only a matter of time, once Shu is taken, it will also need a group of grassroots officials to stabilize order.

Talents are needed everywhere, so Sun Quan personally made the decision, and then let the cabinet support it, and the second imperial examination was still a national imperial examination.

Of course, this time is different, we must follow the regulations, but the schedule is a little tighter, and from July to October, we will complete the township examination, the county examination, the county examination and the general examination, and the quadruple jump.

This year is hotter than last year, last year's imperial examination was actually just a transition to filial piety, many people were recommended to take the exam, and there were not many places.

But this year, I was admitted from the following level by level, and every reader had a chance, which made readers everywhere start to get excited.

Most importantly. There is another difference between this year's imperial examination and last year's, this year's civil and military imperial examination, on top of the literary examination, the subjects of the martial arts imperial examination are added.

This made many people talk about martial arts and martial artists who were born in martial arts also began to be restless.

So on the whole, the atmosphere of this year's imperial examination is better than that of the first imperial examination last year. More hot, more lively.

The entire Jinling City has once again become a big city focused on by the people of Wu.

It's just that Sun Quan's attention didn't care about this at this time, and he put all his attention on the two bloody battles of Hanzhong and Bingzhou.

Military Aircraft Pavilion, Taiwei Palace.

The Taiwei Hall is naturally as its name suggests, it is a large hall where the Taiwei of Dawu works on weekdays, and the Taiwei is the No. 2 person in the Military Aircraft Department of the Dawu Dynasty.

Today's Great Wu military system is completely different from the system left over from the previous dynasty, the generals and captains of the previous dynasty all opened their own mansions to manage the troops, and now the great generals and lieutenants of the Great Wu Dynasty have never opened their own mansions.

They don't have their own so-called independent soldiers.

But the general is the head of the military aircraft and controls the overall situation of the military. He has the right to mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the world, which is much greater than the power of the previous generals.

In the previous Han Dynasty, the position of the general was sometimes high and low, sometimes pressed by the great Sima, sometimes pressed by the Taiwei, and could only control the soldiers and horses under his command.

Nominally, he is the first person in the military, but he does not have the right to mobilize the three armies in the world.

The main job of the lieutenant in the military aircraft department is to assist the general to stabilize the military. He is also regarded as the chief of staff of the military, and controls the staff department of the three divisions of the military.

Status in the army. The lieutenant is between the military department and the hussar general.

On the top of the main hall, Sun Quan was drinking tea, and Taiwei Ju Yi was reporting to Sun Quan the battle report from Hanzhong: "Report to Your Majesty, in the first battle of Dingyuan Town, General Zhao used his less than 20,000 soldiers to fight against the Han Chinese army and the Wei army with more than 60,000 ......troops."

This battle has ended, and at the same time shocked the world.

Zhao Yun once again played a miracle. It is not a sneak attack, nor a surprise attack, nor is it a defense of the city with favorable terrain, but a hard encounter, with double the number of soldiers. Defeated three times as many enemy forces.

You must know that he faced not the peasant soldiers of the Taiping Army who picked up hoes and were not trained, but the elite.

Whether it is the Hanzhong army or the Wei army, they are all elite.

In this case, it is absolutely a miracle that he resisted three times the soldiers and horses with one double of his troops.

Sun Quan was holding a teacup, drinking tea, and listening to Ju Yi's report very carefully, his amber eyes flashed with a trace of smugness.

Zhao Yun's record is an affirmation of vision, and it is also the supreme glory of the entire Great Wu Dynasty and his Eastern Wu Emperor.

Who is not proud of such a fierce general?

Ju Yi's voice echoed in the main hall: "General Zhao followed the example of the former overlord of Western Chu, broke the cauldron and fought against the water, directly let go of the defensive wall of Dingyuan Military Town, led the enemy into the city, and put the battlefield in the city of Dingyuan Military Town. ”

"If he relies on Dingyuan Military Town, how long can his troops hold it?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he suddenly asked.

"It depends on how much food they have, I estimate how much grain he has, and he can keep it for as long as he can!"

Ju Yi heard this, thought about it, and then replied: "Although Dingyuan Town is just a small town, it is also a fortress military town, not much worse than ordinary cities, easy to defend and difficult to attack, with Zhao Yun's strength and combat effectiveness, 100,000 soldiers and horses can't be attacked!" ”

"What about the lack of food?"

"That's just going to be besieged alive!"

Ju Yi said with some admiration: "General Zhao's initiative to face the battle is nothing more than not wanting to be surrounded to the end, running out of food and grass, and being unable to fight, so that he takes the initiative to control the rhythm of the battle!" ”

"Keep talking!"

Sun Quan nodded in agreement, and then asked him to continue to report.

"Yes!"

Ju Yi nodded, and then continued to report: "General Zhao faced the enemy army coming from the east and west, he had to choose one side as the breakthrough, and finally he chose the strong Hanzhong army as the direction of the breakthrough. ”

"He arranged the strength of the three regiments, with Xu Kun, the commander of the 2nd Southern Division, and Chen Mu, the commander of the 8th Flame Division, as the main generals, and laid a defensive line on the eastern front, focusing on defense."

And he personally led the main force to meet Zhang Lu on the Western Front, his move was not only to break through, he wanted to successfully break through. Zhang Lu must be defeated, otherwise he is mainly a foot soldier after all, even if he breaks through, he will be chased and killed by Zhang Lu.

This added a high degree of difficulty to this battle, because he had insufficient troops. ”

But General Zhao created a miracle of winning more with less, and he beheaded Yang Ang, the general of Lu Ai. Taking the lead, the brave three armies, no one can stop him, even Zhang Lu used the unique weapon of the Heavenly Master League to thunder and blast his chest, and the blood flowed all over his chest, he still stood at the forefront of the army, fighting to the death, and after a night of bloody battles, he finally crippled Zhang Lu's Hanzhong army. Successfully break through! ”

"Thunder?"

When Sun Quan heard this, his turquoise eyes flashed a fierce color: "Hehe, soon I will let them know what is the real heavenly thunder, compare this with me, don't torture you, my name is written upside down!" ”

"Your Majesty, this thing is very evil, and ordinary rangers know the horror of the Heavenly Master Alliance's unique weapon. Even if it is the realm of practicing qi to become gang, take gangqi as the armor. If you get hit head-on, you'll get hurt too! ”

When Ju Yi was in his teens and twenties, he was also a great ranger of the Xiliang generation in Guanzhong, and he had some understanding of the unique weapons of the Heavenly Master League: "This thing can't be made much by the Heavenly Master Alliance, I heard that it is very dangerous to make secret methods, if there are more." I'm afraid General Zhao will die in Dingyuan! ”

"Don't worry, in less than a year, we will have it too!" Sun Quan said lightly: "And it's the kind that is mass-produced!" ”

"Is Your Majesty serious?" Ju Yi gasped.

"This matter is the top secret of Great Wu, and the general hasn't known about it yet, so it's good that you know it yourself. Before something is made, it must not be passed on! ”

Sun Quan took a sip of tea and said softly: "Go on, I want to hear what I, a loyal and unparalleled general, have made Hanzhong look like!" ”

"No!"

There was a hint of throbbing in Ju Yihu's eyes, Sun Quan was the monarch of Great Wu, and he usually made some small jokes, but when it came to the affairs of the court, he would never make such jokes casually.

Da Wu must have some secret existence that he didn't know about.

If such a divine weapon as Heavenly Thunder Boom could be mass-produced...... He shook a little inadvertently, so it may be a little difficult for Da Wu not to unify the world.

He took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and continued to report the battle situation: "When General Zhao rushed out of Dingyuan, Chang Zheng's Mad Second Division and He Tang's South Third Division raided Nanzheng.

The chance of success in attacking the city with cavalry is too low, and it is a big city with high walls like Nanzheng City, but they have become.

Because the gates of the city were opened directly.

In this battle, the credit of Jinyiwei is supreme, it was Liao Hao, the commander of the secret guard, who responded to a captain under Zhang Wei, and took advantage of the night to open the city gate! ”

"Nan Zheng is in hand, then Hanzhong is already a foregone conclusion, not to mention that he wants to dominate Hanzhong, at least he will occupy a place, at least he will not let Cao Mengde dominate!"

Sun Quan showed a satisfied smile on his face: "This move is extremely dangerous, but let Zhao Yun go right, but this bastard is too risky, compared to Hanzhong, I care more about him, use Hanzhong to exchange for a Zhao Zilong, I am not willing to do it!" ”

When Ju Yi heard this, he pursed his lips, Sun Quan was purely cheap and obedient, but he was a little envious of Zhao Yun in his heart.

Although Pan Feng and him are now in control of the military aircraft department, Sun Quan has the most high hopes in his heart, the most trusted, and the most caring Zhao Yun.

Of course, he is envious and will not be jealous.

Zhao Yun can have today's status in Sun Quan's heart, it is he who fought it out with one hand and one foot, and the Shouchun Battle of that year, even if he was present, he could be as brave as Zhao Zilong, but he might not be able to achieve Zhao Zilong's loyalty.

"What is the situation in Hanzhong now?" Sun Quan asked.

"Zhang Lu's vitality was greatly injured, he was seriously injured by General Zhao Yun, and he also lost Nanzheng, if he wants to recapture Hanzhong, he is completely hopeless, he can only survive, I estimate that he will soon be killed by Cao Wei!"

Ju Yi reported: "As for Zhang He, this is a shrewd general, when he saw Zhao Yun break through, without saying a word, he directly led the troops back to Yangping Pass, without a trace of luck mentality, clean and neat made me a little impressed!" ”

He is no stranger to Zhang He, although Zhang He in the past was not under him, but without this part of the cleanliness, people will grow, and now Zhang He is enough for him to be cautious.

"Yangping Pass and Nanzheng City?" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes: "This is to divide the situation in Hanzhong equally!" ”

"That's right!"

Ju Yi nodded and said: "Zhang He also knows that now that they have lost Nanzheng, it is impossible for him to fully take Hanzhong, as long as he stabilizes Yangping Pass, the road between Guanzhong and Hanzhong will be smooth, as long as Cao Wei has enough troops, he can make a comeback whenever he wants, and capture Hanzhong!" ”

"This is already the best situation, if Cao Wei dares to increase his troops, I will dare to increase his troops!"

Sun Quan said directly: "Ju Yi, the Military Aircraft Department and the cabinet will discuss it, and come up with a Hanzhong charter, with Zhao Yun as the governor of Hanzhong, and control the military and political power." ”

"No!"

Ju Yi nodded, the military formation of the Great Wu Dynasty was divided and ruled, and there were very few people with dual power in the military formation, but now Hanzhong is undecided, and a strong person is needed to control it. (To be continued.) )
