Chapter Eighty-Eight: Gan Ning Retreats to Huiji City Three Watches
Chapter 88 Gan Ning retreats to Huiji City
The next day, Ma Tan got up early in the morning, washed up, walked to the courtyard, and after taking a deep breath in the face of Dongfang Ziqi, he thought to himself: "It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed, don't think about those military and political things."
After saying hello to his eldest brother Ma Feng, Ma Jian went out and wanted to walk around the street, if he could find something to do!
Walking to the morning market, Ma Tan looked at the lively street, people coming and going, shouting and shouting, fresh vegetables, come, look, freshly caught fish and other shouts!
Ma Tan suddenly saw a teahouse, and many people surrounded the door, and there was a clear banner on this teahouse, which read, "Chess fighting, just one defeat"
Ma Jian looked at it and thought to himself, really, this is a group of people who have nothing to do to spend time here? And Ma Tan looked at the family opposite, it happened to be a private school!
Ma Jian thought about it, if I become a gentleman and a student, I should be able to reassure Chen Gong and them! So Ma Jian walked to this very small private school.
After entering the private school, an old gentleman saw Ma Tan and stepped forward and asked, "What is the matter with the son?" ”
Ma Jian replied: "May I ask the old man, do you want to ask Mr. Shu here?" ”
The old gentleman took a large number of Ma Jian this person, this person is only twenty years old, how can he think of me teaching here, it is really ashamed, but after all, the old gentleman is a scholar, did not say it directly, but said to Ma Tan: "Although my private school is small, the students who can study here are all students who are above the bundle of hair" (bundle of hair, refers to the age of fifteen years old, and the ancient people should have words when they reach the age of bundling hair, such as Ma Tan's character is young, this word is on behalf of his adult meaning)
Ma Tan said: "What about bundling hair? Knowledge is not judged by age."
When the old gentleman heard Ma Tan say this, he was no longer reluctant, and said directly: "The gentleman we invite here must go through the assessment, if you pass the assessment, we should be hired."
Ma Jian said confidently: "Please ask the old gentleman to ask the question."
The old gentleman said, "Please follow me up to the second floor."
Ma Tan followed the old gentleman to the second floor, the second floor is the classroom, there are about three desks, the old gentleman did the main position on the lectern, and told Ma Tan, "Son, please sit down, I will make the question, you can write"
Ma Jian should also sit down and listen to the old gentleman's question!
The old gentleman said: "The first question is to compose a poem, please write a poem on the topic of your own side."
Ma Tan just wanted to write and put down the pen and said: "
Teaching and learning from Schronen,
The teacher's words are cautious and keep the hearts of children.
Fast horses gallop to the day of success,
Happy to see the peach and plum full of things. ”
After listening to Ma Tan's poems, the old gentleman stood up in surprise, and then went on and said: "The second question is a couplet" and "The upper couplet is: Ten years of study and hardship without regrets and complaints"
The old gentleman's psychology is so happy, because this couplet has never been piled up by himself!
Ma Tan naturally touched his chin, then glanced at the old gentleman and said:
"I'm right: once I have achieved and then remembered, I will do my best, there will be pain and joy"
After listening to it at the time, the old gentleman almost cried, because this couplet was the first dean of the private school that year, and no one had ever made a couplet!
The old gentleman walked down in person and said to Ma Yan: "Gongzi is really talented, he is so talented at a young age, why should he be a gentleman, isn't this Qu Cai?" ”
Ma Jian said: "I just want to find a worry-free thing to do, I have no other ideas, if I go to be an official, it will be too troublesome."
The old gentleman said, "What is your surname? ”
"Under the surname Ma, the name Hao, the word is young"
"Youxian, come to my private school in the afternoon to give a lecture, I will listen to it too"
Ma Jian didn't use his real name, but used a fake name, why, if they really fled, it was impossible to use their real name with great fanfare, this is too arrogant, not cautious at all!
Ma Tan said to the old gentleman: "Ma Hao said goodbye, arrive on time in the afternoon"
Ma Jian went home directly, and after a person hurriedly followed Ma Tan's house, he hurriedly ran to Chen Gong's mansion and told Ma Jian about Ma Tan's whereabouts in the morning!
Chen Gong listened to the news of the spy report and learned that Mr. Hao from the private school opposite the tea house was shocked by Ma Yan's talent, which made Chen Gong notice.
Why did Chen Gong pay attention to the expression of the old gentleman in the private school?
This old gentleman in the private school is a famous literary madman in Xuzhou, although he is old, he is talented, and he is famous, and no one looks down on him on weekdays.
If I can shock him, then Ma Yan's talent seems to be beyond my expectations!
In Jiangdong, Ganning's army had already arrived at Jianye and set up camp ten miles away, and the spy newspaper said: "Nanban Meng has sent 200,000 troops out of the mountain, and it is less than 30 miles away from Jianye."
Gan Ning laughed and said, we don't have to fight, Meng Shu alone can settle Sun Quan!
Sun Quan's spy newspaper: "Meng Huo's army has reached twenty-five miles north of the city"
Sun Quan summoned Zhang Zhao and went out of the city five miles with Zhang Zhao to meet Meng Huo's reinforcements!
Two hours after Gan Ning's army was encamped, Gan Ning's spies reported: Sun Quan personally went out of Jianye to welcome Meng Huo's 200,000 troops into the city.
When Gan Ning heard the news, the wine cup in his hand fell to the ground, and he thought again and again, this means that Meng Huo has formed an alliance with Sun Quan to deal with us together!
There are 200,000 troops, and they are all barbarians, who are deep in the mountains all year round, and their combat power is much higher than that of ordinary infantry. What's more, most of my Ganning's army is a water army, and if it is on the ground, it will definitely not be able to defeat Meng Huo's 200,000 army, even if it is Meng Huo's 100,000 army, we will fight it hard!
Gan Ning immediately ordered: "The whole army will be drawn out of camp and will be garrisoned in Jicheng"
After Gan Ning's army pulled out the camp, he quickly left Jianye and returned to Huiji City the same way! Gan Ning wrote a letter to the messenger and quickly passed it to the lord!
The content is: "Meng won 200,000 southern barbarian troops and Sun Quan merged to build Ye, our army is a naval army, afraid that Meng will be besieged, so retreat to Huiji City, waiting for the instructions of the lord"
