As soon as the book came out, almost everyone present was overjoyed.

Even Sima Yi, whose face was motionless and looked extremely deep, had a strange look in his eyes, looking at the Analects in his hand word by word.

With gusto.

"That's right, my lord. Except for the withering of the literati in Wuxi, the other six counties have already prepared to open the examination, and plan to recruit 350 people between the ages of 15 and 30 in the form of assessments. In Xiling City, fifty of them will be selected to study in Chu. Three hundred and fifty copies of it may be printed and given to these three hundred and fifty people. Suddenly, Pang Degong spoke.

"Everywhere is ready?" Liu Feng was surprised.

"I sent the lord to give the order." Pang Degong nodded.

"Well, let's get ready for the exam. I will order the printing of three hundred and fifty copies to be given to those who come to take the exam. Liu Feng said softly.

This book, though it can greatly prosper the country. But how to make it circulate is also a kind of knowledge. Nowadays, the emergence of the direct selection of officials by examination is simply unprecedented.

It received an enthusiastic response from the poor scholars of each county.

Taking advantage of this unprecedented pomp and circumstance, the promotion of books may reap unexpected benefits.

…………… The thirteenth year of Jian'an, winter.

Thirty miles south of Xudu City, there is a camp.

This camp stretches for more than ten miles and covers an extremely wide area. In the center of the camp was a handsome flag, embroidered with the word "Cao".

On a large school field, 100,000 soldiers stood here.

This group of soldiers is the elite left over from Cao Ying's southern and northern wars, either a big victory or a big defeat, which is the foundation of Cao Ying.

At this moment, 100,000 people gathered. A monstrous killing machine overflowed.

Ordinary people passing by may turn pale. And the faint-hearted person passing by may be dizzy on the spot.

Today is the time when Cao Ying swore to go south, and after a year of recuperation, all aspects of the Central Plains have recovered, especially food.

It was enough for Cao Ying to start a war for the ages.

The murderous machine in the military camp in the south of the city is monstrous, in the city, in the prime minister's mansion. It's the same seriousness.

Feeling the extremely serious atmosphere, the servants and maids in the palace didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, lowered their heads, and hurried away.

The hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion has been greatly repaired. It is only a little smaller than the palace of Emperor Liu Xie.

At this moment, Cao Ying and many civil and military ministers under his account are there.

Not to mention that this hall is only a little smaller than the palace hall, and even this civil and military minister seems to have moved from the palace hall.

This group of ministers was Liu Xie's minister in the early dynasty, and they were ministers in the country.

And in this prime minister's mansion, he is Cao Ying's courtier. The future Wei Chen.

Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Man Chong, from top to bottom on the left, is a group of famous Wenchen.

On the right are Zhang Jaw, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and other generals stationed in Xudu.

The top, naturally, is Cao Ying.

He wears a crown garment and a sword at his waist. The sitting posture is rigid, the eyes are bright and bright, and the whole person exudes a majestic atmosphere, and a strong momentum.

Cao Ying asked Chen Qun, "How are the princes of Wancheng?" ”

"Qi Ming Gong, Xu Huang, Cao Chun, Yu Ban, Li Dian and others gathered 100,000 troops, as long as the Ming Gong headquarters went south, they could work with Ming Gong to defeat Jing Chu." Chen Qun straightened up slightly, raised his fist and said loudly.

"How are the military horses of the headquarters?" Cao Ying nodded, turned to ask Xiahou Xuandao.

"100,000 soldiers are ready, and there is plenty of grain and grass." Xiahoudun raised his fist and replied.

"Okay." Cao Ying's face flashed with joy, and he shouted hello, and then raised his head and looked down at the generals, and said loudly:

"Now all the armies are ready, and the grain and grass are abundant. It is advisable to kill thieves. ”

"Where is Xun Yu?" Cao Ying shouted.

"Ming Gong." Xun Yu got up from his seat and came to the center of the hall and raised his fist.

"After the army sets out, you are responsible for supervising the hundred officials of the town and stabilizing the dynasty." Cao Yingdao.

"No." Xun Yu calmly responded and stepped back into his seat. Cao Ying has always gone out to fight and guard the rear, all of them are Xun Yu, and it has become a routine for decades.

"Xiahoudun." After Xun Yu, Cao Ying turned in another direction and said loudly.

"The end will be." Xiahoudun got up and came to the center and bowed.

Xiahoudun was sturdy, and although he was blind, he did not reduce his might, but increased his power. Standing in the midst of civil and military, it has its own momentum.

See this young friend, so magnanimous. Cao Ying's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he raised his hand and said, "You are responsible for leading the troops to supervise the formation of Xu Du, and help Xun Yu to deter Xiaoxiao." ”

"No." Xiahoudun's face was nothing but that, he answered, and then retreated to his seat.

This is the rear of Cao Ying's array, a golden combination. Next, it is the generals who marched into Jingchu, as well as the accompanying ministers.

Although Cao Ying's southern expedition to the north and south also failed, they were generally victorious. In particular, he eliminated Yuan Shao, unified the north, and looked at the world, which was a well-deserved giant.

It's like a giant looking down on the south, in front of this giant, Liu Cong, Liu Feng, Sun Quan and others in the south are just a little doll wearing open crotch pants.

For the generals, this war is a feast for meritorious service.

As Cao Ying became more and more powerful, a military general of Wenchen has come to the fore, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and other ministers, as well as Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and other five good generals.

At the same time, it also makes countless people feel competitive and want to make contributions.

Now that the situation is stable, almost everyone thinks that Cao Ying can sweep the world and create a new dynasty. The rest of Sun Quan, Liu Feng, Liu Cong and others are all Chinese food.

But then again. With only so many enemies left, there are fewer opportunities to make a difference.

In this southward battle, Liu Cong, Liu Feng, Sun Quan and others were all within the scope of the attack, and three were wiped out at once. In the future, there will be fewer opportunities to make contributions.

Therefore, when Cao Ying revealed that he was going south, and when the army was about to move, the generals were already gearing up. I hope to go down with the army in this battle.

Obtained a few meritorious deeds, in order to seal the shadow of his wife and son, and glorify his ancestors.

The eyes of the generals who are eager to fight, and the confidence that they will win. Cao Ying, who was sitting in the first place, looked at it in his eyes. Gradually, a smile emanated.

A soldier is a strong soldier, a strong general, and a plan is a good strategy. Is there any reason to win this battle?

Cao Ying took a deep breath. With this breath, the hearts of all the generals were raised, and countless people's faces showed a blush of excitement. Eager to try, ready to go.

After exhaling a breath, Cao Ying shouted fiercely, "Open your jaw, Gao Yan." ”

"The end will be." Open your jaw, Gao Lan Qi stepped forward.

Zhang Jaw is a tall and fierce man, he was originally Yuan Shao's old department, and was known as one of Yuan Shao's four major generals in Hebei. Tied with Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Ran.

Later, Yuan Shao was defeated and Zhang Jaw surrendered. When serving Cao Ying, he made many meritorious achievements. Cao Ying praised him, Zhang Liao and others as the five good generals.

Among the generals.

At this moment, Zhang Jaw's face was calm and very decent.

As for Gao Ran, he was slightly second, his face flashed red, and he looked extremely excited, as if Cao Ying was going south, and Liu Feng and the others were all falling apart.

It becomes a meritorious feat one by one.

"The two of you are mainly open jaws and pioneers." Cao Ying looked at the open jaw, his eyes were appreciative, and it was much more common to look at Gao Ran. Raised.

"No." They agreed in unison and withdrew.

The first duty of the vanguard was not to attack the enemy, but to pave bridges and roads, and generally to march first with the army.

"Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhu Hong, Xiahou Feng."

"The end will be." With the sound of Cao Ying's words, four people, who were either strong or weak like Confucian generals, got up and came to the center to greet Dao.

"Order you to wait for four people, and the commander will follow the left and right." Cao Yingdao.

"No." The four of them suppressed the excitement in their hearts, promised and returned to their seats.

"Qian Guang, Li Kun, Lu Tong, Zhang Fa." Cao Ying said again.

"The end will be." The four generals responded in unison and stepped forward.

"Order you and the other four to accompany the commander."

"No."

"Xiao Feng, Lin Yue .........."

Cao's army was vast, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Soldiers and horses are like clouds, and fierce generals are like rain.

Those who entered the stream such as Zhang Liao, Zhang Jaw and others, and there were countless people who did not enter the stream.

As a personal name spit out of Cao Ying's mouth, the generals' faces became redder and more excited, hoping that they would be next.

Because there were 100,000 troops in this battle, in addition, Cao Ying also had to consider the personnel who would defend the town after capturing Jingchu. Therefore, although countless people, did not hear their names. There are some regrets.

But I still waited expectantly, waiting for Cao Ying to call his name and enjoy this feast of credit.

But even if there are more soldiers and horses, the accompanying personnel are only that part of the people. Soon, Cao Ying stopped his mouth and stopped ordering.

The generals also knew that the generals who would go south in this battle had been decided. The people who were shouted were overjoyed, as if they had already made meritorious deeds.

Those who didn't call secretly regretted it. I almost beat my chest, regretting that I had missed this opportunity.

Seeing that in the hall, the atmosphere was strong, and Cao Ying felt satisfied. After a pause, he continued: "Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Chen Qun, etc., go south with them. The rest of the people waited and sat in Xudu. ”

"No." The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Qi Qi responded.

"Someone, an edict." Everything is ready, and the accompanying ministers of civil and military affairs have also been named. It was already ready, Cao Ying ordered.

"No." At this time, the official, who had always stood on Cao Ying's left side and held a scroll of holy decrees, bowed to Cao Ying and responded.

He unfolded the decree in his hand and read it aloud. "The traitor Liu Feng first killed Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu, and then attacked and killed Changsha, Wuling, Guiyang, Lingling County Guard, the pattern of Chudi, and disobeyed Wanghua. The emperor ordered Prime Minister Cao Ying to lead 800,000 troops to Jingchu and crusade against Liu Feng. ”

"Long live Your Majesty." The ministers bowed down. Even Cao Ying symbolizes the surname of the bow to the ground.

Immediately, Cao Ying got up and said loudly: "With the sword of conquest, the main priest is Youyou." ”

As soon as the words fell, from the side door, three officials walked out, and one of them was holding a long sword in his hand, this sword was given by the emperor, and Cao Ying must be equipped for the expedition.

Cao Ying stretched out his arms and stood straight, and when the officials arrived nearby, they untied Cao Ying's original sword and tied the expedition sword.

Immediately, Cao Ying led the generals and courtiers, and in the camp in the south of the city, the main soldier was Chiyou.

In the winter of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Ying raised an army of 800,000 troops to fight against the traitor Liu Feng.
