Chapter 427: A stroke of genius

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the study.

"Lord, the north has come to report, Cao Ying raised 800,000 troops and went south."

As he spoke, a guard hurriedly walked in, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand. Dedicated to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and took the bamboo slips, and after looking through them, he shouted: "Liu Feng, you are at the end." ”

Saying that, Sun Quan said to the guards: "Summons Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and others come in to see Gu." ”

"No." The guards were ordered to leave.

After the guards left, Sun Quan did not sit back because his heart was shaken, but held a bamboo slip in his hand and kept walking around the study.

Soon after, Lu Su and Zhang Zhao arrived one after another.

Sun Quan looked at Lu Su and Zhang Zhao. One of these two people is the minister left to him by Sun Ce, and it has the effect of fixing the sea god needle. One is his newly promoted advisor, who is very resourceful.

Now is the time for great change. Whether they can reap the benefits and make progress depends on their plans.

"News came from Xu Du, saying that Cao Ying raised 800,000 troops and went south to crusade against Liu Feng. I'm afraid we will arrive in Wancheng soon. Sun Quan said.

Lu Su and Zhang Zhao's expressions moved, but they didn't change much.

Because there has been a lot of news these days, it is already an open secret that Cao Ying will go south, and now it is just Cao Ying taking action.

Nothing surprising.

After finishing speaking, Sun Quan handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Lu Su and Zhang Zhao. And sat down on the first place, looking pleasant.

Lu Su and the others circulated to each other, this bamboo slip.

"What do you think?" Sun Quan asked with a smile.

Lu Su and Zhang Zhao glanced at each other with a smile, and finally Zhang Zhao raised his fist and said: "Cao Ying's southward movement is like a flood, and Liu Bei and Liu Cong will definitely drown under it, only Liu Fengtun's heavy troops in the public security, Xiakou, can block Cao Ying." ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhao smiled again: "There is a huge difference in the power of the two, but if Cao Ying wants to swallow Liu Feng, he will definitely pay the price." It can be described as a competition between snipe and mussels. ”

"Sit and watch the mountain tiger fight." At this time, Lu Su next to him added.

"Hahaha. It's the same as what you think, it's the same as what you think. Sandpiper and clam fight, there is always someone who wants to profit. Hahaha. Sun Quan laughed.

The laughter was full of joy.

Lu Su and Zhang Zhao were also smiling. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The laughter lasted for a moment, and Lu Su raised his fist again and said: "If Cao Ying annexes Xiangyang, after Jiangling, if he wants to continue to go south, he must break through the three ferries of Gong'an, Xiakou, and Chibi. Wu County is too far away from it, and the fighter may be delayed. The lord should temporarily move the government to Yuzhang, and increase the soldiers of Zhou Yu, when the time comes, the soldiers will take advantage of the left-handed fisherman. ”

"Zi Jing is reasonable." Zhang Zhao nodded again and again when he heard this, and said in agreement.

"Good. For the time being, he moved to Yuzhang, and recruited soldiers from all over the country, increased Zhou Yu's troops, and gathered 40,000 to wait for the opportunity. Without even thinking about it, Sun Quan agreed with Lu Su's strategy.

The closer you are to the front, the easier it is to seize opportunities.

After this official crossing, the world changed dramatically again. Don't miss it.

………………

Liaodong, Xiangping City. In the study of the Hou Mansion of Liaodong.

Gongsun Kang sat on his knees, with a roll of bamboo slips in front of him.

On the bamboo slips, it is the news of Cao Ying's troops. 800,000 troops, although Gongsun Kang knew that there must be falsehoods in them, but even if it was 200,000, it was difficult for people to bear.

Gongsun Kang once blocked an attack by Cao Ying's army of hundreds of thousands. But that was because of the geographical advantage, people, and the help of Wu Huan, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Xi, so he barely fought until Cao Ying's food was exhausted and he retreated.

Now that Cao Yingbing has enough food, Gongsun Kang is worried about whether Liu Feng can stop it.

If Liu Feng's army is defeated and killed, the Gongsun clan will not be able to survive alone.

In the battle with Cao Ying, Gongsun Kang had a lot of power on his body, and he was hard and decisive.

Gongsun Kang's eyes flashed with determination, put aside the bamboo slip on the case, and then took out a blank bamboo slip from the side.

"The world has changed greatly, help Liu Feng, raise troops together, and attack Zhang Liao." More than ten words, in one go. After writing, Gongsun Kang took a look at it and immediately called the guards and asked them to send the documents to Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi.

After the guards left, Gongsun Kang stood up and looked south. said: "I restrained Zhang Liaobu and put pressure on Cao Ying. Hope to reduce your stress and be saved. ”

Lips and teeth are cold.

Since Zhang Liao led his troops to supervise Youzhou, Gongsun Kang sent troops for the first time to attack Youzhou.

Cao Ying raised an army of 800,000 and marched south, and the world shook.

Except for Ma Chao, Han Sui, Zhang Lu, and Liu Zhang, the rest of the princes all had plans.

Xiling, Taishou Mansion, in the study.

Liu Feng also received the news. However, this was completely expected, so Liu Feng did not move the crowd, just smiled slightly, and put aside the bamboo slip that recorded the news.

Immediately, he got up and went to the bookcase next to him, and pulled out a bamboo slip with a red cloth ribbon from it.

I took a look at it and rolled it up cautiously.

"Come on, bring Kou Shui." Liu Feng just stood like this and said loudly towards the door.

"No." Immediately, there was a sound of promise outside the door, and a moment later, Kou Shui walked in.

"My lord." After entering the door, Kou Shui bowed to Liu Fengyi.

"Send someone to hand this over to Wen Ping, and ask him to lead 20,000 troops south into the public security, and wait for Xu Shu's transfer." As he spoke, Liu Feng handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Kou Shui. After a pause, he said, "Send someone to contact Xinye at all times, I want to know their every move." Especially Mrs. Gan. ”

"No." Kou Shui took the bamboo slip and promised to leave.

After Kou Shui left, Liu Feng raised his head and looked at the north, exhaled, and said softly: "Mother, my son is going to pick you up." ”

Recalling Gan's loving-kindness, maintenance. There was also the two-year appointment, and Liu Feng was excited in his heart.

His current strength, power, and fame are much higher than he originally imagined. The original goal was just to steal the four counties of Jingnan.

Now it's seven counties.

In this way, he welcomed back his mother Gan and also had the ability to protect.

Thinking about it, the corners of Liu Feng's eyes were slightly moist, two years. Long enough. It's finally time for now.

At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Liu Feng wiped the corners of his eyes and wiped off some of the moisture.

After men, he is the Son of man. In front of people, he is the lord and the prince.

"Lord, this is the exam question set by Dr. Pang, Dr. Huang, and Dr. Sima, and I invite my lord to take a look." A moment later, Jiang Wan walked in, still holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

handed it to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng took the bamboo slip and put it in his hand.

Liu Feng set up Chuxue in order to gather talents from the seven counties. Start with the county examination, select 350 people, and then conduct the general examination in Xiling, the first 50 people can enter Chu Xue, and after the completion of their studies, they will have the opportunity to be directly awarded official positions.

However, now Wuxi County is a wilderness, and there is nothing.

As a result, only exams were set up in the six counties to recruit talents. However, surprisingly, only 311 people came to take the exam.

Not even the expected 350 people were recruited.

Liu Feng also knew that this was the first time, and the credibility was not enough.

Of course, it was not possible to change the regulations temporarily, so Liu Feng simply didn't even need to take the exam, and directly took the three hundred and eleven people to Xiling, preparing to conduct the assessment after three days. Fifty people were selected to enter Chuxue.

For this first issue of Chu Xue, Liu Feng did not report any hope. I hope that in more than ten years, it will improve.

However, Liu Feng still opened the bamboo slip, and there were only two words written on it.

"The general trend."

Trend. Two words, almost endless. Everyone can write a unique set of ideas.

It can include strategy, statecraft, diplomacy, and so on.

Now that there is a big chaos today, Chu Xue has just started school, and the first phase of recruiting students is using this general trend as the subject of the assessment, which is atmospheric enough.

However, after Liu Feng thought about it, he shook his head and threw the bamboo slips aside.

"Do those scholars know the news of Cao Ying's southward journey?" Liu Feng raised his head and asked Jiang Wandao.

Jiang Wan was asked inexplicably, what does the news of Cao Ying's southward journey have to do with the scholars who took the exam this time.

But Liu Feng asked, Jiang Wan still said honestly: "There are many scholars in Jingchu, and they are strong and move their families south. The news has spread quite a bit. However, because the group of scholars were arranged in Xiling and protected by soldiers, they did not know the news of going south. ”

Liu Feng nodded, took out a blank roll of bamboo slips from the side, picked up the pen and wrote six words on it. "Loyalty, courage, vision."

After writing, Liu Feng waited for the ink to dry a little before handing the bamboo slip to Jiang Wan.

"In this assessment, just these six words, all the qualified people will be left." Liu Feng stood up and said.

After finishing speaking, he walked out from next to Jiang Wan, seven counties, a huge force. When his ambitions first started, he was unwilling, and he was trying to protect Gan.

Cao Ying is getting closer and closer, these words, Liu Feng will raise his spirits, and then lead his troops north to meet the Gan family.

Liu Feng doesn't want to interfere in many affairs for the time being.

Liu Feng walked chicly, but Jiang Wan was stunned.

Loyal? Courage? Insight? What kind of exam question is this? Is it to let the examiners write how loyal they are, how bold they are, how bold they are? How to look like a torch?

Jiang Wan is a smart person, he is just slightly blinded by the literal thing. Soon, Jiang Wan realized Liu Feng's intentions.

I couldn't help but show a look of admiration on my face.

Liu Feng set up Chuxue in order to recruit talents. For Liu Feng, there are actually only two kinds of talents.

One is a loyal person. The other is a capable person.

Loyalty, courage, vision. These six words, coupled with Liu Feng's question about whether the news of Cao Ying's southward journey had spread, the answer was about to come out.

This assessment is Cao Ying's southward journey.

When Cao Ying went south, people's hearts were scattered. Some people are definitely reluctant to do anything and are in a hurry to leave.

And there are only two kinds of people who can stay, one is the loyal people. Liu Feng sat in seven counties, did a lot of practical things, and greatly developed Jiangxia, Changsha, and Jiujiang.

There are many people who are loyal to Liu Feng. This group of scholars will stay and live and die with Liu Feng.

The second is a person with vision, who can see that Liu Feng has a chance to block Cao Ying. But it's not enough to have vision, you have to have guts.

Even those who have vision and courage will stay.

Of these three hundred and twelve people, those who can pass the assessment and stay are either loyal and outstanding, or those with outstanding ability.

Useful talents for Liu Feng. It's a stroke of genius.
