Cangxu City is a stubborn disease on the western border.

The imperial court sent many military generals, but they were all lost there, almost in a state of semi-chaos. But the face of the imperial court is there, and it must be continuously sent to the past, and as many people as there are dead, as many people have to be replaced.

-- Although it doesn't help at all.

Many people mentioned giving up Cangxu City, but they were all vetoed by the imperial court. Wouldn't that seem to be incompetent in the court, and afraid of turning foreign barbarians?

Therefore, in the imperial court, this place with a big palm has become a stubborn disease. If you can't throw it away, take it in your hand and burn it!

"I hope it's not empty talk!"

Wang Tai said secretly in his heart. The barbarian zone was the one he valued the most, and he poured out a special feeling. But that doesn't mean that this topic will give him special favor.

On the contrary, it is precisely because of the special attention and the publication of "Wu Strategy", because this has been frustrated in the imperial court, so Wang Tai is particularly interested in this kind of article.

Those grandstanding, opportunistic articles are useless no matter how well they are written. And even if he writes normally, even if he can score 10 points, because the candidate chose the border trouble of "barbarian", Wang Tai will only give him a score of 7.

This is Wang Tai's situation, miscalculation, opportunism, that will be self-defeating.

"Well, I hope I won't be disappointed!"

Wang Tai sighed in his heart. Before that, he had seen the weather of this article, and he was extremely looking forward to it. The imperial court also needs such insightful articles and late learning.

But the greater the expectations, the greater the fear of disappointment.

Calming down, Wang Tai continued to look down.

At the beginning, Wang Tai was still calm and reviewed with a normal state of mind. But gradually, Wang Tai's mood fluctuated with the article. And the further you go, the more so.

Unconsciously, Wang Tai has been completely immersed in the discussion of this article. His eyes grew brighter and brighter, and at last his eyebrows and beard trembled with excitement.

The trouble of the western frontier lies in the mobility of the barbarians. When the Han advances, the barbarians retreat, and when the Han retreats, the barbarians advance. This is already a fact that is well known to everyone.

It's like a hard punch in the air. Dahan has power but nowhere to vent. But the barbarians relied on all kinds of strange beasts and birds, flying high in the air, making people helpless.

It's a dead knot!

In response to this problem, countless generals and princes have made suggestions and thought of solutions. War, espionage, bird troops, special bird catchers...... , but none of them will solve the problem.

However, this problem is a headache for everyone, and the candidates in the eastern border have come up with a new solution from an unexpected direction:

- "Tuntian"!

"Unexpected, unexpected......"

Wang Tai's heart was so excited at this time that he couldn't get more excited. They've thought of all sorts of complicated solutions. But I have never thought of this most simple, ordinary, and unexpected way.

The western frontier is turbulent and turbulent, and the terrain is complex, and barbarians are often infested. This environment is not suitable for cultivation at all, so no one has thought about the problem of "tuntian" from the beginning.

However, Wang Tai knew that if he did what the candidate said, he would be escorted by the army. If you plant a lot of crops, you can feed the frontiers. Since they are self-sufficient, they will not need a steady supply of grain from the hinterland in the future, thus solving the problem of grain shortage in the western region.

Second, the crops are low, no better than the forest, and the barbarians cannot hide in them. If it is a sudden attack, you can see it from afar and be prepared in advance.

And most importantly, this strategy solves Wang Tai's biggest problem in "Wu Strategy":

-- Those wild plants with strong vitality!

The conquest of the barbarians has never been the biggest problem, the biggest problem is the operation after the war. The imperial court has launched several major wars. Killed a large number of barbarians and occupied the territory of the Great Territory.

When the war ended, the barbarians made a comeback and redoubled their revenge.

The wild plants that had been burned out of the woods came back after a winter.

A qiē previous efforts are abandoned.

But if crops are planted there, there will be no room for those wild plants to grow......

"Genius, genius, someone can come up with such a plan......"

Wang Tai's mind is agitated, and for decades, he has taken countless martial arts examinations, and he has seen many literary chapters. But Wang Tai only has appreciation at most, and only has the mind to promote the juniors.

But this time, Wang Tai was deeply conquered!

I was conquered by a candidate from the eastern borderlands!

"What kind of person can write such an article!"

Wang Tai's heart was excited. Just now, I only paid attention to the article, and I didn't pay attention to whose it was. This is also the first time, after reading the article, he can't wait to know the name of a candidate.

Turning to the first page and seeing the name on the homepage, Wang Tai was suddenly stunned. In the place of the name, there are only two very common names:

"Yang Ji!"

Yang Ji, it's actually Yang Ji!

It's actually what Yang Xuanlan told him, the Yang Ji who has been defeated!

At this moment, countless thoughts crossed his mind, and the old general's face sank. In a trance, he suddenly understood something.

"General Yang, is this what you told me about the absurdity of nonsense and nonsense?"

Wang Tai put the test paper on the bookcase, stretched out a finger and pressed it, and said with a calm face.

It is a big taboo for colleagues to dump, and Wang Tai has no intention of criticizing, but when it comes to issues of principle, he cannot compromise a single step.

"Lord Wang, you don't need me to remind you. I have enough autonomy to mark the essay exam, and I don't need you to teach me. ”

Yang Xuanlan said coldly.

This is quite unkind, Wang Tai is an old-timer, an old general. If Wang Tai didn't interfere, Yang Xuanlan would also be willing to work with him without violating the well water.

But Wang Tai helped Yang Ji again and again.

First, when Wu Ke reported his name, he deleted Yang Ji's name. Later, in the battle with Zhou Qun, he came to ruin his affairs again.

Now when it comes to the crucial part of the literary examination, he will not give in the slightest anyway.

This time, Yang Ji can't be on the list no matter what. If you miss this time, there will be no next time. This is the last chance.

He can't always be so lucky, and he can always be the chief examiner when Yang Ji participates in the martial arts examination!

Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. Could it be that Yang Ji personally delivered it to him. Can't let it go anyway, it's a good opportunity to do it once and for all!

"Yang Xuanlan, you are dereliction of duty!"

Wang Tai stared at Yang Xuanlan and said coldly. The rumbling sound echoed throughout the hall.

"Phew!"

All the civil and military officials present gasped, from the loss of the test paper to the confrontation between the two examiners, which no one expected.

Langya County has hosted so many sessions of the martial arts examination. Nothing has ever happened yet.

Watching the two examiners tense and-for-tat, everyone had a kind of scalp tingling and trembling, neither sitting nor standing.

When Yang Xuanlan heard this, his face suddenly became even colder.

The accusation of "dereliction of duty" is not a trivial crime, especially when it comes to martial arts.

"Lord Wang, pay attention to the wording of your speech!"

Yang Xuanlan flicked his sleeves and said abruptly:

"This kind of article, I say he's full of ridiculousness. Something wrong with this nonsense. What a big deal in a heavy border area, and what kind of candidate can think of using Tuntian to solve the problem? It's simply naïve!"

After a pause, he said:

"Lord Wang, I can understand that you care about the wilderness. However, you are a famous man in the army, an old-timer. Such obvious things, -- you can't fail to see it, do you?"

In the end, he looked at Wang Tai coldly. The skin of the face has been torn. Even if Wang Tai insists on grasping this point, then there is no need to be polite.

"Where is childish? People who don't know about this article will feel naïve. But you are the chief examiner, after reading it, do you also feel naïve? The tuntian here is not only a tuntian, it is simply a desperate plan. If the imperial court can follow the strategy of this article, it will be just around the corner to suppress the barbarians in the future and pacify the border troubles!"

Wang Tai said in a deep voice:

"And. Can an article full of absurdity have such an atmosphere? General Yang, you don't understand, do you?"

"Hmph, Lord Wang, if we only look at the weather when we read the article, what else do you want us to do? I said no. It just doesn't work. If there is a big thing on the side, how can it be child's play. It's like a child's house. -- Lord Wang, I know that you are advocating in the imperial court, and I understand the feeling that you want to calm the barbarians and share the worries of the imperial court. ”

"But I feel like you're overly concerned now, and you don't know what to do with it!"

Yang Xuanlan said coldly. The last sentence is directed at Wang Tai's position on the barbarians, so he treats this article specially.

Wang Tai was furious, and it was true that he had a position on the barbarian issue. But for the affairs of the imperial court, he came to be fair, and he also adhered to the principle of fairness and justice.

In the position of the barbarian martial arts, he never denied it. But Wang Tai will never take the initiative to avoid suspicion because of his position.

In this regard, Wang Tai has always adhered to a principle:

-- Only those who are beneficial to the court, useful to the court, and can protect the border people, whether it is similar to his position or not, or if it involves barbarians, he will adopt it.

And if it is useless to the court, useless to the people, and rhetoric, no matter what he says, no matter how flattering he is, Wang Tai will not hire him.

Even if it is related to himself, Wang Tai's requirements are often very strict.

This is Wang Tai's principle in dealing with people. Yang Xuanlan's words are already questioning his personality.

"General Yang, do you have to say it?"

Wang Tai stared at Yang Xuanlan, his eyes were like torches, pointing directly at people's hearts:

"I don't want to say whether I am public or private, I will ask the court to investigate in the future and see my innocence. But you have been denigrating and depressing this article, what is the intention will not be known to the old man. ”

"Yang Xuanlan, do you want to announce your personal vendetta in the martial arts examination to express your personal grudge?"

The last sentence was deafening, and the vicissitudes of life and wise eyes were so bright that people couldn't force them to see.

Swish!

In an instant, Yang Xuan's face changed.

And in the main hall, there was a deathly silence. All the civil and military officials looked at the capital in the main hall and were stunned.

This, this...... , are the two examiners blaming each other?!

"Go down!"

Yang Xuanlan waved his sleeves and suddenly said sharply.

"This ......"

Several henchmen brought by Yang Xuanlan glanced at Wang Tai, who was not angry but mighty, hesitated for a moment and retreated. And the other civil and military officials in the main hall were even more like avoiding the plague, and they hurriedly withdrew, and the matter of reconsidering the examination papers could not be taken care of for the time being.

When the boss quarrels, the subordinates do not get involved, but quickly avoid it. (To be continued......)
