Generally speaking, the examination of the imperial examination rarely involves the dispute between the saints, and most of the holy words are just a test of some common sense.

However, this year's children's examination has a question involving the controversy of the holy way, and I don't know what the meaning of the saints is.

Fang Yun didn't think much about it when he answered the question, but now that he had extra energy, he fell into thinking.

The content of the imperial examination, like the "Holy Dao" and "Wenbao", can more or less reveal some things that are difficult for ordinary people to perceive.

Shen Wei continued to read the question, and when he reached the third page, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and said: "This question seems to test the content of "Zuo Chuan", asking about the approximate distance between Qufu, the capital of Lu and the border of Qi during the period of Lu Zhuanggong. This question...... I'm afraid it's one of the problems in this children's exam. Fang Xusheng replied a lot, there are three paragraphs, it seems that during the period of Lu Zhuang Gong, the adjacent land of the two countries changed at least three times. I wonder if you have any answers?"

Deng Xuezheng shook his head and said, "If you give me enough time to answer this question, I may be able to finish it." However, this question is very tricky, the border change is one of them, the most difficult is the distance between Qufu and the border of Qi, I am still thinking after answering the test questions, so far, I have not found a book to indicate the distance between the two places. ”

Lu Hong, the head catcher, nodded and said, "When I saw this question, I was helpless. I don't know which book records the distance, and as for the border changes, if there is enough time, it may be possible to sort it out slowly, but this question alone may take an hour. I'm afraid no one will answer this question this year. Fang Xusheng said that the territory of the two countries has changed three times, can you solve your doubts?"

"Please also ask the county magistrate to solve the doubts!" Shen Huan, Tao Dingnian and the others asked loudly together.

Fang Yun glanced at everyone, Lu Hong was a member of the military family, and he really wanted to ask for advice, but Shen Wei and the others were obviously coaxing, hoping that he would be wrong, after all, knowing the answer and explaining the solution ideas in detail are two different things, one is to know it himself, and the other is to teach others.

Fang Yun had no stage fright. Dao: "If you want to know the changes in territory, you naturally need to know the number of battles between Lu and Qi during the reign of Lu Zhuang Gong, and the number of battles, the location and the final negotiation to decide. "Zuo Biography" records. In the ninth year of the reign of Lu Zhuang, the state of Lu was defeated by the state of Qi. In the tenth year of the reign of Lu Zhuanggong, the state of Lu defeated the state of Qi with Cao Di as the general, which is the famous battle of the long spoon, forming the popular Cao Di polemic, making 'one drum, then declining, and three exhausted' a good story. Take note of this. More will be mentioned later. In the nineteenth year of the reign of Lu Zhuang, the State of Qi attacked the western part of the State of Lu. This can also be regarded as a war between the two countries, however, the Qi State is in the north of the Lu State, and this time the Qi State attacks the west, no matter how much territory is lost, it will not cause a change in the distance between the north, so it is not counted. The thirteenth year of Lu Zhuang Gong ......"

Fang Yuntong Guò's "Zuo Chuan", "Ram Biography", "Gu Liang Biography" and other records of the history of the Spring and Autumn Period are determined to be in the Luzhuang Gong period. There were three changes in the border between Lu and the northern part of Qi, and these three changes changed the distance from Qufu, the capital of Lu, to Qi.

After Fang Yun finished speaking, Shen Hao and other officials were speechless. Some officials praised it.

"It is worthy of Fang Xusheng, he is quick to think, I can't wait!"

"In the world, except for Fang Xusheng. I am afraid that no one has been able to sort out the war between the two countries that has taken place in such a short period of time for decades. During the Spring and Autumn Period, wars were frequent and not carefully combed. It's impossible to sort out. ”

Lu Hong thought for a while and asked, "Fang Xusheng, you just mentioned the Cao Di Polemic and the Battle of the Long Spoon that happened in the tenth year of Lu Zhuang Gong, and said that you mentioned it later, why didn't you mention it later?"

"Huh?" Everyone realized that Shen Wei immediately became energetic, this may be Fang Yun's negligence, or maybe it is a breakthrough.

Fang Yun smiled and said: "Lu Catcher, you are still a soldier." Others don't know how to calculate the approximate distance from Qufu to the border of Qi State, how can you not calculate it! You, dead reading, dead reading!"

Fang Yun said at the end, put away his smile, and the sound shook the ears of the people around him.

Fang Yun was dressed in white, standing in the pavilion, his expression was stern, and he was not angry and arrogant.

Everyone present instinctively felt a chill all over their bodies, even Shen Wei couldn't help but lower their heads, Fang Yun is a county order, but it is also a false saint!

During the temple examination, Fang Yun could not use the privilege of the Void Saint, but everyone could not ignore his status.

If Fang Yun accused Lu Hong of government affairs as a county magistrate, the officials present could directly refute it. But Fang Yun is now discussing knowledge, and everyone must listen first, and only after Fang Yun has expressed all his views can everyone object.

Lu Hong looked at Fang Yun, feeling that the person standing in front of him was not a young man, but a strict teacher, he didn't dare to have the slightest annoyance, bent down, and said humbly: "Please Fang Xusheng for guidance." ”

Fang Yun said: "You recite "Cao Dizhi Chen" again!"

Lu Hong was still a little puzzled, thought for a while, and recited in public: "Lu Zhuang Gong will be a big bell, the type is complete, Cao Di entered the view, and said: 'The seal of the former Zhou room is Lu, seven hundred from east to west, and five hundred ......from north to south'."

Lu Hong continued to recite.

"Cao Di's Chen", also known as "Cao Mo's Chen", is a book that records the discussion between Cao Di, a general of the Lu military family, and Lu Zhuanggong's discussion of political affairs and military affairs, and it is a military book. It's just that due to its age, even more than 100 years before the birth of Confucius, many books have been lost.

For readers, the history before the birth of Confucius is relatively vague, which is also the difficulty of this question.

Lu Hong recited the whole "Cao Di Zhi Chen", and he was still a little puzzled, and the rest of the officials also thought about it with all their might, not knowing what secrets were hidden in it.

Seeing that everyone couldn't think of it, Fang Yun sighed and said, "Lu Hong, let me ask you, what is the terrain between Qufu and the border of Qi?"

"It's plain. Lu Hong replied.

"How did the State of Lu and the State of Qi fight at that time?"

Without thinking, Lu Hong replied: "The chariot is in front, and the soldiers are in the back." There is a single terrain, and naturally the tactics are also single. ”

"Let me ask you again, how many days will it take for the Lu State to fight against the Qi army in "Cao Dizhi Chen"?"

"Two or three days at most. ”

"How fast the chariots and soldiers are moving, you might estimate?"

Lu Hong was stunned, and all the officials were also stunned.

Almost instantly, everyone suddenly realized that they were happy, as if they had gained something from reading.

Lu Hong immediately replied: "I see, in the tenth year of Lu Zhuang Gong, Qufu is about one hundred and ten miles away from the border of Qi State. ”

"Good. Fang Yun nodded slightly.

Some officials restrained their joy and looked at each other, and they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

It was almost impossible to fight with eight poles, but Fang Yun was able to find out the connection from it, and through the details of the armament scheduling, battle time, and chariot speed in the Guò Book of Soldiers, he calculated the distance between the two places, which was simply incredible. The most important thing is that a qiē is only done in a few breaths.

Deng Xuezheng threw away the test paper in his hand and said: "With this question alone, the lower official is far inferior to Fang Xusheng, and the lower official admits defeat first." ”

Lu Hong also threw away the test paper in his hand and said, "The student also admits defeat." The wisdom of genius is far beyond it. ”

The other eleven participants in the competition looked embarrassed, but they didn't give up, but their momentum was completely crushed by Fang Yun, and they were all like students who were criticized by the teacher, with sad faces.

Yuan Jun said in a deep voice: "Next question." ”

Next, Shen Hao continued to answer and check one question at a time. (To be continued......)
