On November 15, it was the day of the release of the imperial examination.

In addition, when it was the fifteenth day of the holiday, many ordinary people in Jinling also came to watch the "title of the gold list".

Although there are three lists for the imperial examination, what everyone pays the most attention to is naturally the most elite "gold list".

In the second imperial examination, without the flood effect of the first session, the gold content of the gold list decreased slightly, but the number of participants increased significantly......

After all, for the scholars of Jingyang and Yangzhou, the truly talented ones had already participated in the first imperial examination three years ago.

2nd ...... Most of them were unsuccessful in the last session, or because of unsatisfactory results, and outside of the Chu State, they were inspired by the first imperial examination, or were attracted by the increasing national strength and Chu studies of the Chu State, and rushed to the Chu State to seek a career!

Top talents of this level, such as Fa Zheng and Zhuge Jin, will appear in the imperial examination for gimmicks and cheers in the first session, but there are no talents of this level in the second session.

But even so, there are still many folk heroes, and there are many names that Bai Tu is familiar with......

is like Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang's brother "Zhuge Jun"; "Yin Mo", who was born in Yizhou, studied in Jingzhou, and was recommended by Sima Hui to come to the imperial examination; Ma Liang's younger brother, the fifth brother of the Ma family's five constants, "Ma Tan"; Born in Huainan, he was the "Jiang Ji" of the three dukes of Cao Wei in history......

Although the fame is not very big, throughout the whole history, there is no "Three Kingdoms Circle", and even the reputation of Ma Tan is still a little tearful...... But during the Three Kingdoms period, it was also a temporary choice, and it was a talent who could leave a piece in the history books, or even a separate biography!

After the seven subjects, the most surprising thing for Bai Tu was the military science - Hao Zhao, Guo Huai's fellow countryman who was named on the gold list last year, after seeing Guo Huai's encounter, came from Taiyuan and won the first place in this year's military science list in one fell swoop.

Hao Zhao's most famous battle in history was in Chencang, where he led more than 1,000 defenders to fight against Zhuge Liang's 30,000 troops, and held on for more than 20 days, making Zhuge Liang's second Northern Expedition return in vain!

At that time, it was the time when Wei and Wu were in order to control Huainan, and in the Battle of Shiting, Wei was newly defeated, and the main forces were piled up in the Jianghuai area, so Zhuge Liang saw the opportunity and sent troops out of Chencang and pointed at Guanzhong......

However, a year ago, Hao Zhao garrisoned in Chencang, diligent in fortifying the city, and finally defended it for more than 20 days with more than 1,000 people, and insisted until Zhang He led troops to help, Zhuge Liang retreated.

To a certain extent, this also dampened the spirit of the radicals led by Wei Yan - Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition has always been biased towards Longyou, that is, Yongliang west of the Guanzhong region, as the strategic goal, while Wei Yan advocated a shuttle and directly advanced into Guanzhong.

Just like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, "Ming repairs the plank road, and darkens Chen Cang", he directly attacked Guanzhong from Chen Cang, first destroyed Sanqin, and then fought in Kanto.

Won Chang'an Fuhan, lost the bid and sold the first......

Hao Zhao's record in Chencang all shows that Guanzhong is not so good!

It's a pity that after this great achievement, when Cao Pi was preparing to important Hao Zhao, he fell seriously ill and died.

Although it was able to hold "1000v2000" for more than 20 days in the face of Zhuge Liang, a large part of the factors were because of the solidity of Chen Cang itself, but ...... The reinforcement of Chen Cang itself was supervised by Hao Zhao on order.

Even only in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" is "ordered", that is, a sentence is added to strengthen Chen Cang on Cao Zhen's order, which invisibly touts the movement of Shu in Cao Zhen's expectations, but other historical materials only write that Hao Zhao and Wang Shuang garrisoned here......

If he did not "obey the order" and strengthened Chen Cang by himself, it would be more obvious that Hao Zhao was cautious and unscrupulous, and ...... The performance of Wei State at that time, it is difficult to say that it was expected Zhuge Liang's movements, otherwise why did he go to Huainan and Wu to fight hard?

In any case, Hao Zhao is a good general, and like his fellow countryman Guo Huai - good guard!

The current Hao Zhao is about the same age as Guo Huai, but he is only one in his twenties, and he can just combine it with reality, and gradually accept the new strategic thinking after the application of Zhenqi bullets and crossbows and artillery.

And Quan Cong, who ranked second in the military department, although he is "meat in a bowl", but his talent is also favored by many high-level generals in the Privy Council - Quan Cong's father Quan Rou is Sun Ce's general, and Zhou Yu specially let Quan Cong take the route of the imperial examination without internal recommendation.

In history, Quan Cong, as a general of Wu State, should not have met Hao Zhao, but the two have some indirect connection, that is...... In the battle of Shiting mentioned earlier, the commander of Wu was Lu Xun, and one of the deputy commanders on the left and right was Quan Cong.

And Quan Cong is very capable of "rubbing" in the history without the White Rabbit effect - from Lu Meng's attack on Jingzhou, to Lu Xun's command of the Battle of Yiling, and then to the later Battle of Shiting, Quan Cong has achieved military exploits.

Especially when Lü Meng attacked Jingzhou......

At that time, Lu Meng and Sun Quan had already made up their minds to attack Guan Yu, but for the sake of secrecy, they did not inform others, and Quan Cong also wrote a letter at this time to suggest attacking Jingzhou, so naturally Sun Quan did not respond.

However, after Lu Meng's victory, Sun Quan specially mentioned the matter, and thought that Quan Cong also had merit, and sealed Quan Cong, who didn't know before, a pavilion marquis!

Later, when Quan Cong was the deputy general, he was able to make many contributions, not only assisting the coach, but also playing a big role, but ...... When the middle and late Wu Kingdom, Quan Cong began to be the coach, especially because he was senior enough and became the governor of Eastern Wu, his performance was lackluster.

Being able to win the second place in the military science this time can be regarded as proving that Quan Cong's foundation in the military battle is still very solid, and he is innocent, and he can be regarded as a usable person.

In addition, what caught Bai Tu's attention was that Sima Shi, Sima Badazhong, Sima Lang, and Sima Yi, the third eldest Sima Fu after Sima Lang and Sima Yi, actually participated in the imperial examination of Chu State.

Unlike Zhuge Jun, Sima Fu should be regarded as a signal for the Hanoi Sima clan to choose to officially share a part of the Chu State!

Sima Fu won the first place in the household department, and also won the first in the Like department, if it wasn't for the back door for Shi Kuang, maybe he would be able to be the top three in the two subjects.

Historically, Sima Fu was considered to be the more honest of the Sima clan...... Or is more cautious and cherishes feathers, compared with Sima Lang and Sima Yi, in fact, Sima Fu's character is more in line with the concept of "family".

In the history without the White Rabbit effect, when the Gaopingling Revolution just happened, Sima Fu could be said to be the mainstay of the Sima family, and he was full of existence before.

However, after Sima Yi gradually took control of the Wei dynasty, Sima Fu began to fade out of the core decision-making level, and after his nephew Sima Yan officially usurped the throne, Sima Fu still regarded himself as a Wei minister.

It is difficult to say that Sima Fu is a loyal minister of Wei, after all, he didn't do anything other than verbally, but when Sima Yi and Sima Zhao were in power, Sima Fu restrained himself from doing something.

Sima Yi lived to be seventy-two years old, and in terms of the times, he was already considered to have a very long life gene, and Sima Fu ...... Apparently he inherited the longevity gene more obviously than him, and lived to be in his nineties!

For Sima Fu, there is no harm in calling himself Wei Chen - his nephew Sima Yan can still be held accountable for this? is still an official and a knight, and every time Sima Fu enters the palace, he is also sent by car and treated with family courtesy.

At the same time, Sima Fu's talent is indeed there, but it's just ...... It's not comparable to Sima Yi.

However, in terms of temperament, Bai Tu can also rest assured, if Sima Yi abandons Zhenghou Zhang Yan now and defects to Chu State, Bai Tu may also be very conflicted, and he will be a little wary of him!

Of course, Sima Yi didn't dare to come - the state of Chu didn't give him room to play now, not to mention, and ...... And Zhang Chunhua is here!

Who among the "outsiders" does not know the relationship between Zhang Chunhua and the King of Chu? Sima Yi is also worried about being blown to death by the pillow wind!

What's more, even if the "scandals" rumored outside are not substantiated, can Sima Yi still not know Zhang Chunhua's temperament?

Now that he has really come to the Chu State, he is afraid that he will be calculated step by step - in terms of talent, Sima Yi will naturally not be afraid of Zhang Chunhua, but in terms of calculation...... Zhang Chunhua is at least an opponent who can make Sima Yi be careful.

What's more, Zhang Chunhua is now in Chu State, he is already Shang Shulang, and there is also the old poison Jia Xu, who is a scholar of the palace pavilion, behind him, Sima Yi will not come to find this unhappy......

And under Zhang Yan's command, Sima Yi feels that there is also room to play!

Although compared with the King of Wei and the King of Chu, Zhang Yan was weaker, and even inferior to the Marquis of Qi within the Auxiliary Han forces, at least Zhang Yan was easy to control.

How easy is it?

Sima Yi has now stood up to facilitate his movements—Zhang Yan is convinced that this is a medical miracle.

Moreover, Zhang Yan's forces, mainly in Guanzhong, were the closest to Chang'an among the princes of the Fuhan Dynasty......

Although now in Chang'an, the Emperor of Han has his own army, and the six marquis of the auxiliary Han Dynasty each have 3,000 people stationed in the cities around Chang'an, which can be regarded as mutual constraints, Zhang Yan's control range is closest to Chang'an, and it does not mean that he can have so much influence on the imperial court like Li Dao, Guo Yan, or Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo.

But for Sima Yi, he saw a lot of operability from it......

However, it can be seen from Sima Fu's arrival in Jinling that Sima Shi does not want to accompany Sima Yi to "stud" at all now.

The most striking thing now is not Sima Fu or Hao Zhao, but ......

Like second, Shi Kuang!

This "second" discharge is very serious, and it is still reflected in the interpretation of the "scriptures" of Like, and the actual gold content is not high.

The biggest effect is probably to come out to Wang Su's Xinxue Station platform - I, a passer-by who can't come out in Jiaozhou, saw that you were so hotly discussed about Xinxue, so I paid special attention to it, and now I am starting to fan Xinxue! I bought a lot of Wang Su's books!

In fact, everyone knows what is going on.

The reason why it is "eye-catching" is because of Shi Kuang's identity......

As the son of the No. 2 person in Jiaozhou, Shi Kuang came to Chu State, which undoubtedly means that Jiaozhou is closer to Chu State.

The other princes, even if they were not happy to see it, were unable to stop it.

After all, the location of Jiaozhou is destined to be a vassal of the Chu State, and there is nothing anyone else can do if they want to interfere, unless they ...... It can be like the landing of Chu in Liaodong, and directly take the sea route to interfere in Jiaozhou.

It's a pity that neither the Marquis of Qi nor the King of Wei have such perfect sailing skills, even if the ship technology is driven by the Chu State to make rapid progress, but the sailing skills cannot be smoothed out in a short time.

More importantly, when the Chu Navy was "paying tuition", it had "teaching materials" and was facing the simple sea, but now in the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea, Bohai Port, Donglai Port, Liaodong Port, and Zhouhu Port ...... There is also Bozhou Port to the east, and Yizhou Port to the south......

There are warships of the State of Chu loitering in each!

Even if they had the ability to take the sea route to Jiaozhou, they did not have the confidence to fight with the navy of Chu, and even guarded carefully one by one, lest the 20,000 navy that Gan Ning had taken away before actually want to attack them.

On the contrary, if Wei had any thoughts about Yan Hou, Chu would be able to intervene by sea and take the lead......

It is also worth noting that this year, not only the imperial examination and academic examination, but also the pure martial arts examination, there are also many more women who have signed up to participate - after all, there are a large number of true qi cultivators among the people, and there are many women among them.

The cultivation preferential treatment given by the Chu State is equally effective for men and women, and those true qi tools have actually narrowed the gap between men and women in terms of labor after the same cultivation.

And there is really a woman who won the third ...... in the martial arts test

Different from the theoretical assessment of military science, the military examination is organized by the Privy Council itself, and only personal force and physical fitness are the definitive assessments.

It is difficult to become the main general if you only have strong force, and the natural martial arts test is not so valued in comparison.

However, martial artists who are born in martial arts can be incorporated into some special elite troops to serve as grassroots battle armor, or sent to the martial arts hall to train military science - after all, at present, the role of war armor on the battlefield will not be greatly weakened.

For a martial artist from a folk background, it is also a big opportunity.

However, the woman who is the third in this year's martial arts test cannot be regarded as a folk background, but Sun Shangxiang, who Bai Tu has known for a long time and often invited her to eat candy before!

Compared with the scheming second brother Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang's temperament is closer to Sun Ce.

Not only is he very arrogant, but he is not very interested in reading, but when Chu State was just a female official, Sun Shangxiang also read patiently for a while because of "ambition".

It's just that in the end, it's really not that material, and I gave up after a few months......

Although the Sun family is a prominent clan in Wu County, Sun Jian's style is still very relaxed, especially with Sun Ce's special status in the Chu State...... The other elders of the Sun clan not only did not restrain them, but even sometimes kept their distance from suspicion.

Although nominally every Chu army, whether it is a grassroots general or a Ji Zao soldier, is a soldier of the Chu State, not a soldier of a family, but the team under Sun Ce was left by Sun Jian at the beginning, from the grassroots generals to the high-level commanders, everything is available......

Although Bai Tu dispatched the army of Sun Ce's department from time to time, he did not deliberately break up the generals' establishment of Sun Ce's department, so Sun Ce's army still had some shadows of "private army".

If Sun Ce really had the intention to form a small circle, the question was...... Sun Ce himself did not use this to fight for any additional benefits at all, such as this Quan Cong, Sun Ce's ministry did not recommend it internally and digest it on its own, but took the imperial court channel of the imperial examination, and the shadow of the so-called "private army" is getting weaker and weaker.

In this way, the Sun family naturally did not want to touch him, lest the good things not catch up, and he would be suspected in vain.

Therefore, after Sun Ce agreed to Sun Shangxiang's martial arts, others objected to the invalidity.

Even the two Mrs. Wu usually favor the youngest Sun Shangxiang......

Sun Shangxiang's martial arts talent is also a little with her eldest brother Sun Ce, and because the battle situation is not tight, in the past year, the high-level generals of the Chu army often have the opportunity to return to Jinling, Sun Ce also instructed her a few times, Sun Shangxiang, who was a six-year-old child eight years ago, has now put on a gilded battle armor!

For this reason, Sun Ce also specially found Bai Tu in private, hoping to study the distribution of Sun Shangxiang - even Sun Shangxiang carried it, after all, Sun Ce knew his sister's temperament, and he didn't want her to know, so he helped her go through the back door......
