Until the time of crossing the river, Xiang Tuo had not recovered from the huge shock, and the three hundred heavy armored iron cavalry of General Meng Yan was not mentioned, although the power was incomparable, but after all, the number was limited, and it was difficult to become a decisive combat force on the battlefield, but the next 20,000 cavalry queues, cavalry shooting, and slashing performances really surprised Xiang Tuo.

To say, Xiang Tuo has not seen cavalry, and there was also a huge cavalry under Xiang Yu in the past.

However, Xiang Yu's cavalry is completely different from Xiang Zhuang's cavalry, Xiang Yu's cavalry can't fight in close combat, and they have to stop first when shooting arrows, but Xiang Zhuang's cavalry can not only participate in close combat, not only can they directly kill and stab on the horse, but they can also pull their bows and release arrows in galloping, which is what Xiang Tuo is really surprised about!

Because of this, the cavalry has truly become a formidable combat force.

The dozen or so generals who followed Xiang Tuo across the river were obviously also greatly shocked, and the cavalry who were gathering behind Xiang Tuo to discuss Xiang Zhuang were both admired and naturally contemptive.

"Amazing, really powerful, the general has this cavalry, it is enough to sweep the world!"

"Hey, it's a dream! Xiang Zhuang's cavalry is powerful, but Huaisi, Jiangdong rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the mountains are dense, how powerful can his cavalry exert? It's better for our infantry army and navy to cross mountains and mountains, cross rivers and rivers, and come faster! Not to mention anything else, at least in Jiangdong, we are categorically not afraid of Xiangzhuang's cavalry. ”

"Koto? Why did the general's cavalry fight in Koto? ”

"That is, you need to know that we are also the Chu army, how can there be a reason for the Chu army to fight the Chu army?"

Obviously, after Xiang Tuo showed his attitude and Xiang Zhuang showed his strength, the mentality of these generals has changed subtly, although there are still people who can't turn around, but most of the generals have accepted Xiang Zhuang's status.

Early in the morning, Shusun Guan, Qu Yi, Wu Qi and other clan elders gathered again at Xiang He's Ling Yin Mansion.

Xiang He paced back and forth on the mat with his hands behind his back, and suddenly looked back at his uncle Sun Guan and the others and said, "Until today, Xiang Zhuang's army has not crossed the Wujiang River, what do you think about this?" ”

Qu Yi clapped his hands and said: "Ling Yin, the old man has long said that General Xiang Zhuang is wise and wise, and he is by no means a simple-minded and murderous martial artist, even if his confidant Gao Chu was assassinated outside Wuzhong City, and the general still did not lead the army across the river in anger, is this not enough to explain the problem?" ”

Wu Qi, who was sitting opposite, frowned, but rarely did not refute, Wu Qi hated Xiang Zhuang, but he also had to admit that Xiang Zhuang was much more mature than Xiang Yu politically, in other words, Xiang Yu, if his confidant would be assassinated, he was afraid that he would have already killed Jiangdong with a large army, and he didn't care whether Jiangdong was Chudi or not.

Xiang's gaze turned to his silent uncle Sun Guan again.

Uncle Sun Guan stroked the long hair under his chin, and when he was about to speak, suddenly a small official came in and reported to Xiang Tayu: "Ling Yin, General Xiang Tuo has come to visit the mansion." ”

"Xiang Tuo?!" Xiang He was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Please let him in." ”

"Whoa!" The little official under the door took the order and left, Qu Yi got up and asked, "Ling Yin, are you going to avoid it first?" ”

"No need." Xiang He waved his hand and said thoughtfully, "Xiang Tuo just came back from Jiangbei, and he hurriedly went straight to my Lingyin Mansion, and he must have been entrusted by Xiang Zhuang to send us a message." ”

Uncle Sun Guan bowed his head slightly, and Qu Yi, Wu Qi and other clan elders sat back on the table.

After less than a moment, Xiang Tuo, dressed in military uniform, entered the hall proudly under the guidance of the little officials under the door.

"Xiang Tuo, see Ling Yin!" As soon as he entered the hall, Xiang Tuo bowed to Xiang He on the main seat, Xiang He quickly got up and saluted, and more than a dozen clan elders present also got up and saluted.

Seeing the salute, Xiang Tuo turned back and waved his hand again, and said, "Present it all!" ”

Dozens of family members in the Yin Mansion had already entered the hall carrying more than a dozen large wooden boxes.

Xiang He, his uncle Sun Guan, Qu Yi, Wu Qi and other clan elders were stunned when they saw this, what is this? Could it be a gift from Xiang Zhuang to them?

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Xiang Tuo stepped forward and opened one of the wooden boxes, there was no imaginary gold and silver, nor was it a rare treasure, but a square and square-shaped thing like a brick, however, what puzzled Xiang He, Shusun Guan, Qu Yi, Wu Qi and others was that the blue surface of these bricks was actually written. …,

"Shangshu?!" Qu Yi's eyes were sharp, and he immediately found that the "bricks" contained in the box were written with the words Shangshu, but the writing of these two words was a little unfamiliar, it looked square, very stiff and obscure, neither as good as the seal pictogram, nor as mellow as the official book, but barely recognizable.

Xiang Tuo smiled slightly, and said solemnly: "Old gentleman, might as well come forward and take a look?" ”

Qu Yi couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, confessed to Xiang He, his uncle and grandson, and others, and strode to the open wooden box, and then took out a "brick" from it. Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Qu Yi touched the brick, and then he was suddenly stunned, as if he had found something strange.

Then, Qu Yi lifted a thin layer from the bricks.

Under the thin layer of blue that was opened, there was a white brick surface, and there were square small characters written on it, Qu Yi looked at it, and instinctively read it out: "Yu Shu, Yaodian first?" In the past, he was in Diyao, smart and thoughtful, and the world was bright. will be inferior to the position, let Yu Shun, as "Yaodian". Said Ruoji Ancient Emperor Yao, said Fang Xun...... This, this, this?! ”

Qu Yi is also very knowledgeable, and he had read the real book of Shangshu in Lu when he was studying in Lu in his early years, so after reading it, he found that this was really the content of "Shangshu", and what shocked Qu Yi even more was that this was not a brick at all, but a book made of unknown materials!

"Shangshu? This is Shangshu?! Uncle Sun Guan's shock was not under Qu Yi at all, the old man was excited, and rushed to Qu Yi's side with agility and agility that was not commensurate with his age, and immediately copied a blue book, opened the door and saw that he only saw a few lines of small characters in italics, and he was already in tears.

Xiang He and the rest of the dozen or so clan elders were also shocked and moved when they heard this.

Xiang Tuo smiled, remembering that when he just saw these books, although his performance was not as unbearable as these old guys, he was not far behind, and when he turned around and beckoned, someone had already opened more than a dozen large wooden boxes, and his uncle, Qu Yi, Xiang He and others looked around, only to see that more than a dozen boxes were filled with the same books.

"Analects?!"

"Grandson?!"

"Wu Zi?!"

"Mozi?!"

"Forty-two chapters!"

Seeing the books filled with more than a dozen boxes, Uncle Sun, Qu Yi and other clan elders screamed out in a very frustrated manner.

They can't help but be excited, many of these books are unique, although they had read them from friends when they were young and studied the world, but later these books were copied by Qin Shi Huang, although they wrote part of them with their memories, but people's memory is limited, and the record is only a fragment after all, not as complete as the real book.

Now that these real books are in front of them, how can they not be excited?

Xiang Tuo pointed to more than a dozen boxes of books, and said loudly: "Ling Yin, all the elders, this batch of thread-bound books is a gift from the general to you, these books are all the forbidden palace collections of the Great Qin Empire, and they are also the books that Qin Shi Huang copied from the Kwantung countries, such as "Shangshu", which has been lost in the world, this is a rare book. ”

"Thread-bound books?!" Uncle Sun Guan opened a thread-bound book and asked, "General Xiang Tuo, what kind of materials are these books made of?" It's as soft and light as silk, but it doesn't seem to be silk? And the handwriting on it is too neat, right? Even if you were to copy it by one person, you can't do that, right? ”

Xiang Tuo waved his hand and said, "Uncle Sun, this is not made of silk, but made of paper, and as for the words on the page, it was not copied by anyone, but printed with a printing plate. ”

"Paper? Plate printing? Uncle Sun Guan was confused.

"You'll get to the point later." Xiang Tuo knew that this matter could not be explained clearly, in fact, until now, he still did not understand what was going on with paper and printing, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "In short, these rare books are gifts from the general to the major clans, and the general hopes that the clan elders can supervise the children of the clan and study diligently." ”

"It's nature, it's nature." Qu Yi, Uncle Sun and the others nodded again and again, not to mention Xiang Tuo, after they got this batch of books, they would definitely urge the children of the clan to study and study diligently.

Xiang Tuo paused, and said in shock: "The general also asked the general to bring a sentence to Ling Yin and the clan elders, and the general said that if Dachu wants to revive, it is categorically not enough to rely on martial arts alone, but also to govern Wenzhi!" If possible, the general will evaluate the scholars of the entire Jiangdong, and those with excellent grades will be awarded knighthoods and have the opportunity to go to the local office. ”

Before the words fell, the entire hall had fallen into a deathly silence, except for Xiang He was slowly flipping through the Art of War in his hand, the rest of the more than a dozen clan elders such as Uncle Sun Guan, Qu Yi, and Wu Qi had all stopped their movements, compared to these books and classics, Xiang Zhuang entrusted Xiang Tuo to bring them this sentence is obviously more shocking.

The scholars in Jiangdong will be assessed, and those with excellent grades will be awarded knighthoods and have the opportunity to go out of the office!

What's going on? This is Xiang Zhuang showing favor to the old Chu clan, and even more promising them that as long as they support Xiang Zhuang to ascend to the throne, Xiang Zhuang will spare no effort to push the children of the clan to the position of the chief officials of various counties and counties! Obviously, these elders of the clan instinctively equated the scholars with the children of the clan.

"Ling Yin!" Shusun Guan put down the Shangshu in his hand, looked back at Xiang He, and said in a deep voice, "It's time." ”

Xiang He nodded silently, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I will cross the river overnight tonight, and remember, don't make a public announcement, especially don't let Xiang Guan's people know the news." ”。 ）
