Chapter 1479: A Red Apricot Comes Out of the Wall

On the twenty-sixth day of the first month, the third day when the Lumen army arrived in Zhucheng, the Marquis of Lumen issued a military order, and the armies rested for five days, and the troops and horses were reorganized, and the equipment was reorganized.

The official study room on the left side of the main hall of the Marshal's Mansion was extremely busy, with a large number of scholars and scholars coming in and out, many of whom held all kinds of documents in their hands.

The marshal would give orders to the various parts of the army, and he would draw up a document and give it to his staff, and then to the official office, whose clerk would go to the printing workshop and print out enough paperwork.

Every day, the imperial court would send books to various places, and the contents of the letters would arrive at the official office as soon as possible, and the official library would be responsible for printing them and delivering them to wherever they were needed.

In order to communicate with each other, it is also necessary to go through the official office.

In the eyes of the official office, there are no secrets in the army, so the official library is an important place in the army, and once the secret is leaked, the whole army will suffer a catastrophe.

The official library is also the most painful and tiring place, there are basically only two kinds of people, one person keeps writing documents, and the other person keeps running errands to distribute documents.

The busiest task in the office is to write, organize, or distribute letters to the soldiers.

With an army of more than 400,000 people, even if each person writes only two letters a year to his family, the official office will receive more than 2,000 letters a day, and more than half of the documents are written by the clerks of the official library.

Some of the clerks in the official office would go to the armies every day to write letters for some people, after all, literate soldiers may not be able to write family letters.

After Fang Yun joined the official office, he was very leisurely in the first few days, holding the official seal, and going back to the room every once in a while to sign or stamp the official seal, and most of the rest of the time he walked around the official office to observe the office of the clerks. Occasionally, I would follow some clerks to other barracks to learn about all the processes of the official library.

At first, the people in the official office thought it was a novelty, but they were too busy with official business, and they quickly ignored the Zhujiang Marquis, who liked to walk around.

"Pearl River idler!"

The nickname that Wei Changxian gave to Fang Yun quickly spread throughout the camp.

Fang Yun didn't care, the reason why he was so leisurely was because he found that he was in a hurry to be promoted to a university scholar a few days ago. I was nervous, but fortunately I found it early, and I had already begun to pay attention to the combination of work and rest, otherwise the promotion to university degree would inevitably be delayed.

It's too much.

Fang Yun was very idle, but the entire army was nervously preparing.

On the first day of the second month, a Hanlin general of the Lumen Army led an army of 30,000 to leave Zhucheng and began to search for the barbarian tribes.

On the fifth day of the second month, the army triumphantly beheaded two thousand. Our army suffered less than 500 casualties, which was a rare victory, and the Marquis of Lumen personally took the wind and washed the dust for the soldiers who returned from victory.

On the sixth day of the second month, General Zuo of the Pearl River Army led 40,000 troops out of the city, and returned in embarrassment on the second day, with more than 4,000 soldiers killed and more than 10,000 wounded.

Lumen Hou was furious, and he only found out when he asked. The army was ambushed by the barbarians, and it took all their strength to withdraw.

After Fang Yun got the news. Shaking his head slightly, this general Zuo obviously underestimated the enemy, otherwise he would not have been ambushed. Fortunately, the basic principle of reciprocity between the human race and the barbarian in the literary world is observed, and unless there is a special period, the attacking side will never send too strong generals, for example, the strongest enemy in this ambush is only a barbarian.

If the barbarian king participates in the ambush. These 40,000 troops have long since been wiped out.

While Fang Yun was doing his own official duties, he was learning the battle between the human race and the demon barbarians.

Compared with ordinary cold weapon battles, the battle between the human race and the demon barbarian has many differences.

In an ordinary cold-weapon war, if the two sides fight head-on, one side will lose more than one-third of the battle losses. Morale is likely to collapse, the other side's advantage will be incomparably greater, the morale-shattering side will flee, and the other side will launch an easy pursuit.

But in the battle between the human race and the demon barbarians, there are very few routs, either successfully retreating or fighting to the death.

In a frontal battle, there is not a single case of a Terran or a demon barbarian fleeing.

In ordinary cold weapon battles, frontal battles will last for a certain amount of time, but in the frontal battles between the human race and the demon barbarians, there will be two extremes, either they will last for a long time, or they will quickly separate the winners and losers, after all, both sides have terrible strength, and the intensity of the battle is far greater than that of ordinary cold weapon battles.

It is precisely because of various differences that Fang Yun will often abandon some of the ancient Chinese art of war, and at the same time, he will also deepen his study of the art of war applicable to the human race.

On the tenth day of the second month, the Marquis of Lumen led an army of 200,000 to sweep away all the large number of barbarian tribes in the south of Zhucheng, and returned to Zhucheng safely before the barbarians counterattacked.

In this great victory, all parties in Chu sent congratulatory letters, and even countries that were friendly with Chu sent congratulatory letters.

After the battle spread throughout the country, the families of the Zhujiang Army and the Lumen Army began to mail letters, and within a few days, the main task of the official library was to sort out letters from all over the country and distribute them to all armies and battalions.

Fang Yun once again tried to ask for battle, but was rejected by the Marquis of Lumen, and when he visited again, he was blocked out and had to try it from the backyard of the Marshal's Mansion, but in the end he returned in vain.

On the same day, Fang Yun wrote a poem "It's Not Worth Visiting the Garden", which spread in Zhucheng.

Pity the moss of the tooth prints,

The small buckle firewood has not been opened for a long time.

The garden is full of spring and can't be closed,

A sprig of red apricot came out of the wall.

The first two sentences of this poem are mediocre, and they use humor to say that the owner is afraid that the tooth marks of his clogs will damage the moss, so he has not opened the door for himself.

But the last two sentences not only sparked discussions in Zhucheng, but even became the hottest topic of the day in the literary circles.

The understanding of the last two sentences was quickly divided into two factions, one praised Zhang Longxiang's state of mind, even if he was suppressed in Zhucheng, he also had ambitions, like apricot blossoms in the garden, he could still stand out.

The other school thinks that this poem is a satire on the Marquis of Lumen, and the poet is saying that no matter how good the Marquis of Lumen is, he will break through the barriers and get ahead like a red apricot.

After this poem appeared on the literary list, the readers of the Shengyuan Continent did not understand it too much, but simply thought that this poem was extremely excellent, and there was an upward spirit in the gloom.

Some people also compare the famous sentence of Li Wenying's "Early Plum" "In the deep snow in the front village, a branch opened last night" and "The garden is full of spring and can't be closed, and a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall".

The appearance of this poem set off the climax of the spring literary meetings in various parts of the human race.

On the second day, Zong Ganyu, the head of the Zong family, personally commented on the poem "Red apricots bloom in spring, and a branch overwhelms the world".

And Lei Tingzhen, the great Confucian of the Lei family, called "The Garden Is Not Worth It" as "last night's flowers bloomed, the first flower of the New Year".

The high praise of the two great Confucians immediately sparked heated discussions in the Shengyuan Continent, and many scholars in the Shengyuan Continent were not convinced, hoping that Fang Yun would come out and "teach a lesson" to the arrogant Zhang Longxiang.

If there is controversy, there will be a topic, and if there is a topic, there will be a literary name, and Zhang Longxiang's literary name began to improve rapidly in the Shengyuan Continent.

No matter how strong the opposition is, "a red apricot comes out of the wall" quickly became a household name.

When the outside world was in turmoil, Fang Yun continued to deal with official documents in the official room, and near noon, Wei Changxian led people to break in.
