Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 777

The imperial examinations were being held in full swing, and all the paper boxes for the first exam had been delivered to Prince Wu's Mansion.

Soldiers in heavy armor guarded outside, and countless officials in the temple were reviewing volumes of answers.

The signatures on each roll paper were covered, and the names of the test takers would only be known after all the criticisms were completed. All this was to prevent someone from cheating.

The strict and orderly imperial examination system tries to prevent any possible fraud.

Even the officials who approve the papers are not allowed to take out or bring in any prohibited items without permission.

After the imperial examination was over, thousands of scholars walked out of the examination room tiredly like rabbits with red eyes.

The disheveled one still had an energetic improvement at the beginning, as if they had experienced a big battle.

Luoyang seemed to have become a prosperous metropolis due to the grand imperial examination, but Liu Bian from Jiangdong's face was gloomy and terrifying at this time.

bang~
Slamming his fists on the desk, Liu Bian gritted his teeth in anger and shouted hoarsely, "What a Lu Bu! The painstaking efforts of being alone for so many years can't be worth one day's fame."

For the same imperial examinations, Luoyang had an unprecedented prosperity, but Jiangdong was in depression.

This time, the number of people who came to Jiangdong to participate in the imperial examination was pitifully small, at least seven or eight levels lower than before.

Originally, Liu Bian's rule had offended the aristocratic family, and few children from the aristocratic family came to take the imperial examination, most of them were scholars from poor families.

But as a result, a book library in Luoyang turned his painstaking efforts accumulated over more than ten years into nothingness, and no one could understand his anger and bitterness.

Jiang Dong was originally a casual person, and he faced countless difficulties from the very beginning of the imperial examination. He has spent a lot of hard work step by step to get to where he is today.

poor family!How many scholars can a poor family have? It took him more than ten years to distribute paper and print for the imperial examination.

As a result, the number of scholars in the world gradually increased, but I didn't expect to make a wedding dress for Lu Bu in the end.

Liu Bian was angry and the officials in Jiangdong lowered their heads one by one. They knew how much the Luoyang imperial examination had changed the world.

"Send a letter to Gu Gu to Liu Bei in Shuzhong and Li Shimin in Xiliang that Lu Bu has become a force. If you don't stop them, then they will all sit and wait for death."

promise!
"Allocate food, grass and supplies to the Huainan and Jingzhou areas. After Liu Bei and Li Shimin reply, I will personally lead the three armies to attack the Central Plains!"

promise!
Facing the most powerful Lu Bu, Liu Bian chose to take the initiative to attack. This time, even his confidant minister Liu Bowen did not stop him.

Because the Luoyang imperial examination has shaken the foundation of Jiangdong, unless there is a victory to defeat Lu Bu's prestige, or the army directly enters the Central Plains, the situation in the world is still unknown.

Lu Bu dug Jiangdong's foundation with naked conspiracy, so Liu Bian also used upright warfare to rebuild Jiangdong's prestige.

Liu Bian's heart was bleeding, and he watched helplessly that the country he had spent more than ten years laying down was actually being pried away.

He can be sure that the high-yield grain seeds were stolen by Lu Bu. When he learned of the grain output in the four prefectures of Hebei, he was angry and also comforted himself.

At the very least, high-yield food can keep more Chinese population, so as not to cause too many casualties due to the war.

But this time the imperial examination really touched Liu Bian's rebellion, because Lu Bu's move in Luoyang, not to mention the world, even Jiangdong has attracted many children from poor families.

"My lord, contact Liu Bei and Li Shimin, as well as our preparations for the transfer of food, grass and supplies. I suggest that we send troops in February next year."

This time Liu Bowen is also firmly on the main battle side, and after preparing for so long, it is obvious that this is going to start the war with all his strength.

Seeing that Liu Bowen supported him, Liu Bian showed an ugly smile in relief, "Okay! Let's all go down and prepare. Next year, I will enter the Central Plains alone."

promise!
All Liu Bian in Luoyang knew clearly that countless spies, flying pigeons, passed on letters, continuously sending news about Lu Bu's rule.

Similarly, Jiangdong's blatant move this time also made the spies of the various princes who stayed in Jiangdong know.

Liu Bei from Western Shu looked at the letter sent by Liu Bian, and looked at his military adviser with solemn eyes.

Zhuge Liang also paid more attention to this matter than ever before. All the feather fans stopped stirring, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, it's time. If not, the longer it is delayed, the stronger Lu Bu will be. On the other hand, we will become weaker."

How could he not know Luoyang's actions, Zhuge Liang showed a wry smile when he thought of this, this Lu Bu is too cruel.

This is digging out Liu Bian's roots and completely driving Liu Bian crazy.

At the same time, I have to admire that among the three kings in the world, their power is the weakest, but correspondingly Jiangdong Liu Bian's power is not weak, even very strong.

Without Lu Bu's move, relying on Jiangdong would hardly have any aristocratic background, coupled with business contacts, Jiangdong's Liu Bian's development would be the most terrifying.

But this is troubled times!A war can tear them apart, and Lu Bu is just the prince with the strongest military ability in the world.

"Kong Ming, I have been waiting for this opportunity for too long, this time I must do my best!"

Liu Bei, who is nearly fifty years old, has gray hair. Although his momentum is still good, but at this time Liu Bei is already showing old fatigue.

Stroking the short beard on his chin, Liu Bei knew that he had reached the age of destiny, and now he still has ambition and ability, if a few years later, he might not have the energy he has now.

"Military division, let's start preparing. Since we can't cover it up, then we should order the various ministries to send food, grass and luggage to the front line in a steady stream."

promise!
"Decree that all the soldiers of the three armies will be drilled, and next year we will fight against the country's thieves together with Gu!"

Xi Liang!

Li Shimin looked at the letter sent by Liu Bian and Liu Bei, with a look of tenacity in his eyes. He had endured for so long, and the opportunity finally came, and it was also his last fight.

If successful!Then the name of Li Tang will once again appear on the territory of the Han Dynasty.

He still has self-knowledge, he doesn't want much, as long as he can recapture the land in Chang'an Pass, it is enough for him to crack the soil and become king.

It is obvious that Liu Bei and Li Shimin's goals are in conflict, but all of this will not happen before Lu Bu is defeated.

With a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Shimin turned his head to look at the dissatisfied Li Yuanba, and said with a smile, "Yuanba, next year my second brother will take you to Chang'an personally, and see that the thief Lu Bu is still handsome."

After hearing what the second brother said, Li Yuanba hurriedly said excitedly: "Second brother, is what you said true? Don't go back on your word."

Li Yuanba looked like second brother, you are not allowed to lie, which made Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, he stroked his short beard on his chin and nodded with a laugh, "Second brother won't lie to you."

Under the laughter, Li Shimin was tired. He was too tired. Facing the three kings of the world, his power was pitiful, and the future of Xiliang's development was even more pitiful.

He is not like Liu Bei in the middle of Shu. Even if he is defeated, the road of Shu is a natural danger, and relying on the power of the middle of Shu is enough to protect himself.

Liu Bian of Jiangdong is the second king in the world, but the civil and military ministers under his command are more outstanding than each other, as if the once barbaric land has become a holy land of outstanding people.

All kinds of able men and strangers were born one after another, even Lu Bu with the strongest background was slightly inferior to Liu Bian in the Minister of Cultural Relics.

　Thank you brothers for your support. Passing water is fine, and writing books with code words will not have much impact, so brothers, don't worry.
