After three dynasties, Lu Yi became busy.

On the first day of the Three Dynasties, he gathered the officials of Wu County, worshiped heaven and earth, and then went to the immortal monument of Ou'a to worship.

Since the establishment of the Immortal Monument, Lu Yi has determined the status of the Immortal Monument: to be able to engrave his name on the Immortal Monument is an incomparable glory.

After that, Lu Yi and Chen Deng, Zhang Hong, Gu Yong, Chen Gong, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, and Yan Xiang determined the specific official position change of the civil and military officials after the founding of the Wu State.

After all the official positions are determined, they will be issued to each position in the form of an edict, so as to ensure that important officials on the front line will not change positions frequently, which will cause hidden dangers on the defensive line.

In addition to this, the questions for the second imperial examination have come out.

Lu Yi has to review the questions himself to ensure that the questions are not too patterned.

After Lu Yi finished reviewing the questions, these exam questions had to be reviewed by Chen Deng and others.

Half a month before the second imperial examination, all the examination questions must be checked.

The venue of this second imperial examination is still in Wu County.

The third exam, that is, from next year's exam, will be extended to the nine counties of Wu State.

If the response is not bad this time, it will be implemented in all five prefectures: Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou.

On the first day of February, the second imperial examination was officially held in Wu County.

This exam is three days.

After three days, the examiners will review the candidates' results.

The process is the same as last year.

However, the number of participants in the second imperial examination was more than three times that of last year!

Last year, a total of 3,172 people took part in the first imperial examination.

Moreover, these candidates are basically concentrated in Yangzhou, and there are a small number in Jingzhou.

In this second imperial examination, there were a total of 9,392 people!

The range of candidates has changed from the original main Yangzhou to the main Yangzhou and Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Qingzhou.

Even, there are nearly 200 candidates from Yanzhou and Yizhou!

Originally, it was Zhuge Liang who was responsible for the registration, but this year, Zhuge Liang, Lu Ji, Zhou Budo and Liu Ba were jointly responsible for it, so that it could be completed within a limited time.

Among these four people, Lu Yi's favorites are probably Zhuge Liang and Zhou Budo.

Zhuge Liang has more or less the filter of a time-traveler after two thousand years, as well as the composition of the second brother-in-law.

likes Zhou Budo, but simply because of the other party's unforgettable memory, and a little bit of cleverness.

Despite this, Lu Yi still transferred Zhou Budo to his side and asked him to do some low-level work on weekdays.

When he was too busy, he was asked to be with Zhuge Liang and others.

The reason why he did this was very simple, he was afraid that he would become "Fang Zhongyong" in Wang Anshi's mouth.

This time, Zhou Budo's uncle, Liu Xian, a fellow villager of the former Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, also participated in the imperial examination!

Although the imperial examination is now being introduced, the county election is still dominant.

Jingzhou Zhizhong Hengjie recommended Liu Xian as Maocai, but was rejected.

Liu Xian's uncle, who is undoubted this week, is more willing to prove himself with his exam results.

Lu Yi looked at the family history of these registered candidates, and his heart was quite sad.

Even in the imperial examinations, these students who took the examination were all from the scholar family.

The worst so-called poor family, the ancestors have also been glorious, and none of them are really poor people.

Lu Yi could only urge the papermakers of Wujun University to continue to increase the research and development of paper.

The paper they developed last time was not cheap enough, the raw materials were not common enough, and the quality did not reach the quality that Lu Yi had in mind.

In order to increase their enthusiasm, Lu Yi asked Yan Xiang to set up a heavy reward.

The second exam took nearly 20 days to correct the questions.

The number of officials participating in the marking and answering of questions has increased from 50 last year to 150 this year.

The results are still divided into three, six, nine and so on.

As soon as the results come out, the government will post a notice.

However, Lu Yi and the civil and military officials discussed that starting from next year, that is, the third imperial examination, the candidates with the top three scores will be sent to the candidates' homes by officials from various counties and counties, so that the candidates can also enjoy being admired, so as to increase the desire of more scholars to participate in the imperial examination.

Because the number of candidates participating in the imperial examination has greatly increased, and the results of the examination are indeed good, Lu Yi and the civil and military officials have discussed and decided to completely abolish the previous recommendation system starting from the third year of Tai'an, that is, the third imperial examination year.

Although many officials objected, they were all in favor of the overwhelming majority of opinions, especially Lu Yi himself.

Shouchun defeated Yuan Shao in a battle, which greatly increased Lu Yi's prestige.

The big family, which was still a little stubborn, gradually lowered their heads.

On the second day of the first month of April, Yuan Shao came to Hebei: Yuan Shao did not recognize the new emperor Liu Feng, and promoted Liu He, the Guangwu Emperor, as the emperor after Liu Xiu, with the era name Dasheng.

On April 18, information came from Liangzhou: Ma Chao, Liangzhou Mu Weikang, Hanzhong Zhang Lu Alliance, three sides of 150,000 troops, in Zuli to block Cao Cao's army!

The war between the two sides is about to break out!

Since Cao Cao's defeat in the first battle of Tongguan, he used discord to force the princes of Guanzhong to kill each other.

Later, Han Sui led a large army to surrender, which led to a great increase in Cao Cao's strength.

Cao Cao's army sang all the way and defeated Ma Chao several times.

When he arrived at Zu Li, Cao Cao's army was blocked again.

In addition to being militarily blocked, Cao Cao's army also broke a terrifying piece of information: Cao Cao had slaughtered the city three times in order to encourage the morale of the soldiers to fight, and also to force the cities to surrender without a fight!

Moreover, because when Ma Chao retreated later, he adopted the method of burning grain and grass, resulting in a lack of grain and grass in Cao Cao's army. In order to maintain the expenses of the army, Cao Cao first made the dead soldiers into dried meat, but later it was still not enough, and he even cooked and ate the living!

After the information came out, not only Liangzhou and Hanzhong, but even Yizhou were all in the mood.

In order to prevent Cao Cao from moving south, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang had already stationed troops on the border and was ready to defend Cao Cao at any time.

Liu Zhang even sent Zhang Song, a separate driver, to contact Ma Chao, expressing his willingness to send 30,000 troops to fight against Cao Cao together.

You must know that Yizhou and Hanzhong have always been incompatible.

This time, Cao Cao's army made such a bad behavior, which really scared the people of Yizhou enough.

On April 25, Cao Cao announced to the world that Liu Xie, the son of heaven, was not dead, but in Anding County, and there was a jade seal of the country.

Moreover, there was indeed cannibalism in the army before.

However, Cao Cao didn't know it, but Shang Shu ordered Cheng Yu to do it.

For this reason, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, stripped Cheng Yu of his official position and went to the dungeon.

Because Cao Cao, as a commonplace, did not fulfill his responsibility to restrain hundreds of officials, he whipped fifty military sticks and cut off his salary for one year.

Regarding Cao Cao's announcement, Yuan Shao of Hebei and Lu Yi of Wu did not admit it.

On the first day of the fifth month, the new emperor Liu He canonized Yuan Shao as the king of Zhao, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhao placed hundreds of officials such as prime ministers and generals.

On May 12, the combined forces of Ma Chao, Liangzhou, and Hanzhong fought in Zuli and Cao Cao's army, and the coalition forces were defeated!

Liangzhou Mu Weikang was killed!

Cao Cao's army took advantage of the situation all the way to capture Liangzhou.

Ma Chao and the Hanzhong coalition retreated to Ayang City.

On the first day of the seventh month, Lu Yi and the hundred civil and military officials officially determined the position of the hundred officials.

The civil servants are:

Taifu: Chen Gong

Captain: Jia Xu

Wait.

As soon as the positions of the civil and military officials were confirmed, envoys distributed the canonization documents to various places, and the hundred officials were transferred one after another.

On August 12, "Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven", issued an edict, moved the capital to Xiliangji County, and canonized Cao Cao as the king of Xiliang, founded the Liangguo, set the capital Jincheng, and placed hundreds of officials such as prime ministers, captains, and generals.

On the second day of October, Ma Chao, Hanzhong Zhang Lu and Yizhou jointly sent 100,000 troops to attack Yuzhong!

In December, hundreds of officials of Wu gathered in Wu County to discuss the establishment of the crown prince, and finally selected Lu Yi's eldest son Lu Feng as the crown prince (during the Han Dynasty, the heirs of the princes and kings were also called princes, and after the two Han Dynasty, they were changed to princes).

On the first day of February in the third year of Tai'an, the third imperial examination was officially launched in Jing, Yang, Henan, and Xuzhou.

In this year, the election system was officially abandoned in Wu State.

On April 11, Ma Jun, the minister of generals, led a group of craftsmen from Wujun University, as well as Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Cao, to develop the Zhuge Repeater, and was awarded a large number of productions to equip the Xuzhou Legion and the Lujiang Legion.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, Ma Jun, the minister of generals, created the first horse chopping knife, and was awarded a large number of productions to equip the Jingzhou Legion.

On the first day of July, the 100,000 allied troops of Ma Chao, Hanzhong, and Yizhou broke through Yuzhong.

On July 15, the combined forces of Ma Chao, Hanzhong, and Yizhou were defeated by Cao Cao's army again!

Cao Cao's army advanced from Yuzhong to Ayang.

Ma Chao fled to Hanzhong and married Zhang Lu's daughter.

On August 20, the "Son of Heaven Liu Xie" appointed Zhang Lu as the king of Hanning, Zhang Lu wanted to surrender, and his brother Zhang Wei led an army of 50,000 Yangpingguan.

On the fifth day of October, Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 to Wudu and confronted Zhang Weijun.

On the outskirts of Zhengcheng in the south of the Hanzhong Governance Office, Ma Chao's military camp is marshal tent.

Ma Chao knelt alone in the handsome tent and looked down at a bloody strip of cloth placed on the desk.

His face was horribly gloomy.

His eyes were bloodshot.

After a while, Ma Chao raised his head, looked at the outside of the tent and said, "Come on, call the military advisor over!" ”

Not long after, Deng Zhi hurried over from outside.

After saluting Ma Chao, Deng Zhi asked, "General, what's the matter?" ”

Ma Chao handed the bloody cloth strip to Deng Zhi and said, "See for yourself!" ”

Deng Zhi took the bloody cloth strip suspiciously, glanced at it, and sighed.

It was from the fine work that lurked beside Zhang Lu.

Although Zhang Lu's brother Zhang Wei was resolutely opposed to surrendering to Cao Cao.

However, Zhang Lu, who is now the king of Hanning, did not dare to confront Cao Cao.

Cao Cao had previously written to him, asking him to remove his brother Zhang Wei from his military power, surrender, and hand over the head of his son-in-law Ma Chao.

Zhang Lu was afraid of Cao Cao, and was now discussing with the ministers of the humerus to design a plan to lure Ma Chao into the city, and then ambush the knife and axe men, cut Ma Chao into meat puree, and send his head to Cao Cao.

Ma Chao saw that Deng Zhi had finished reading the content on the strip of cloth, gritted his teeth and said: "I treat Zhang Lu as my father, but he wants to take my head because he is afraid of Cao Cao, what should I do?" ”

"Soon, Zhang Lu is going to send someone over."

"Today, I have less than 3,000 soldiers."

"What should I do?"

"If it is revealed that I know that Zhang Lu is going to kill me, I am afraid that the army will immediately surround us."

"But if I go, I will surely die."

"Bo Miao, I want to go south to join Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, what do you think?"

Deng Zhi: "."

Ma Chao has several generals who are very good at riding and shooting.

Moreover, they know the terrain of Liangzhou well.

It has been five years since Wu Guo recuperated until this year.

Next year you can collect taxes and start fighting.

If you want to attack Liangzhou and Hanzhong, Ma Chao and others can definitely use it.

Instead of letting Ma Chao take these people to Yizhou, it is better for Ma Chao to surrender to Wu.

However, I can't open my mouth.

In the past two years, although he has made suggestions, he has not been able to reverse Ma Chao's defeat against Cao Cao, and Ma Chao has begun to doubt his ability.

Once he directly surrendered to Wu State, Ma Chao was likely to come in the opposite direction and insist on taking refuge in Yizhou.

Nowadays, there is only one way -

That is to assist Ma Yunlu to take away military power.

Ma Yunlu's words, it is impossible to take refuge in Cao Cao, she has always wanted to avenge Ma Teng and others.

If Ma Chao takes refuge in Yizhou Liu Zhang, then Ma Yunlu will definitely come the other way around.

Thinking of this, Deng Zhi nodded and said, "General, I also think it's better to take refuge in Yizhou Liu Zhang." ”

Ma Chao frowned and said, "You don't have any other proposals?" ”

Deng Zhi shook his head.

Ma Chao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's go and prepare immediately, we'll set off later!" ”

Deng Zhi answered and turned to leave.
