Lu Bu's Sims

Chapter 231 Top Civil and Military Rankings (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)

Hulao Pass.

"what!"

Li Jue and Guo Si, who had fled all the way for eighty miles, began to gather the defeated soldiers. However, the scouts sent out said that after Luoyang was captured.

They rushed all the way to Hulao Pass in a hurry, but when the two were considering who to take refuge in, they suddenly heard the battle report, and the two of them stared wide-eyed.

The scout below said in a low voice with a bitter face: "Lu Bu Baiqi captured Luoyang City, and Gao Shun led the army to Luoyang three days later."

Li Jue's ferocious expression was even more frightening, and he slapped the table angrily and said angrily, "Damn it, I was tricked by Lu Bu. There were only five thousand cavalry a few days ago."

Aggrieved!remorse!
What a shame!Not only did Li Jue and Guo Si have hot faces, they even roared with gnashing of teeth.

"Damn it, Lu Bu, you actually cheated!"

Who would have thought of this, from the very beginning when Lv Bu came out suddenly, they thought that Lv Bu's army had captured Luoyang City, and even secretly dispatched scouts to investigate on the night of their retreat.

The information returned from the investigation is that the walls of Luoyang City are covered with Beiliang flags, and they are still broken and bloody flags. It can be seen that they have experienced a war.

The two were even more frightened when they thought that Luoyang was such a fortified city, and they still had more than 20 troops in Luoyang city, and none of them ran out to report the letter. They thought that Lu Bu had at least [-] troops besieging the city.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that they were the ones who were frightened, what a shame!
"Brother Guo, there is not much food in Hulao Pass, what should we do?"

Li Jue's face was ugly, and Guo Si said in a deep voice with a livid face, "Cao Cao, let's not think about it. Let's not talk about the battle just now. The opponent is even more welcoming to the emperor. If he goes there, he will be killed by the sword."

"Either go north to Yuan Shao or seek refuge in Bingzhou Zhangyang like Zhang Xiu's children, but the princes of the world Lu Bu, Zhang Yang and Gongsun Zan are obviously allies, and there is also Liu Bei who is unclear."

"Go south to Jingzhou!"

Li Jue gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Liu Biao of Jingzhou! Either we surrender to Lu Bu."

Guo Si sneered when he heard this, "Lu Bu's generals are like a cloud, what are we going to do? We can't be left out in the cold."

"You and my brother have also tasted the taste of this person, will you suffer if you go to rely on others?"

"Let's go south to find Jingzhou!"

Hearing Guo Bang's words, Li Jue pondered, and finally said darkly: "Liu Biao is not a good person, I'm afraid he will only arrange us in the Wancheng area of ​​Nanyang, and let us guard the gate for him."

"Humph!"

Guo Si sneered even more, "So what, at least you and my brothers are still masters right now, this world is in chaos, and no one can save it since the grand master, let's find a place to recuperate and watch the world Things change."

When they said this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"That's right, you and I, with the [-] elites in our hands, will sit back and watch the world change. Whoever is stronger, we can at least rely on the [-] troops and be rich for the rest of our lives."

The two laughed loudly, finally found a place to go, and immediately ordered the army to start reorganizing.

Three days later, Hulaoguan, where the fire was raging, was empty.

Luoyang!

After the army of Northern Liang took control of Luoyang, the remnants of Xiliang forces left by Dong Zhuo have completely announced their withdrawal.

"My lord, Li Jue and Guo Si of Hulao Pass led the army and left. Before leaving, they burned everything that could be burned in Hulao Pass."

After hearing the report, Lu Bu couldn't help showing a smile. At least he didn't have to fight against the [-] troops of Li Jue and Guo Si. The situation was too urgent now, and he couldn't transfer too many troops from Chang'an in a short time.

"Let Chen Dao lead [-] soldiers to take over Hulao Pass and repair the pass."

promise!
In the autumn of the fourth year of Chuping (AD 193).

The emperor fled from Luoyang, Cao Cao led the elite to welcome the emperor to Yanzhou, and finally made Xuchang his capital.

Lu Bu took the opportunity to send troops out of Hangu Pass, and a hundred cavalry broke through Luoyang, and even took the area around Luoyang in one fell swoop, completely connecting with the princes of the Central Plains.

Li Jue and Guo Si led more than [-] remnants of soldiers and fled to Jingzhou in embarrassment. In order to prevent Xiliang bandits from rebelling, Liu Biao pretended to accept their surrender and ordered them to lead the army to guard Wancheng.

Since then, a thorn appeared in the Wancheng area where Jingzhou was in line with the princes of the Central Plains, and Liu Biao began to concentrate on governing Jingzhou.

After the Youzhou War lasted for more than a year, Gongsun Zan lost his army and lost most of the territory of Youzhou, and Yuan Shao was even more powerful in Hebei.

After Luoyang Lu Bu left Xu Rong, Huang Zhong and other generals to guard, he hurried back to Chang'an.

Inside Chang'an City.

"My lord, Cai Daru has finished reviewing all the examination papers for the imperial examination candidates, but the top three places still need my lord."

"Although my lord has conquered Luoyang, I still ask my lord to sit in Chang'an. Once my lord takes control of Luoyang, all the heroes in the world will be afraid of me."

Returning to Chang'an is a lot of things, especially whether they should go to Luoyang or Chang'an. Once they are in Luoyang, they will say in front of the world that I am going to attack the northern part of the Central Plains.

And sitting in Chang'an, it will give the world a false impression that Luoyang is actually an opportunity to take advantage of. Right now, Lu Bu has not considered where he will march.

"Gao Shun led the army to sit in Luoyang, Xu Rong assisted."

When he said this, Lu Bu raised his head and looked at his trusted confidant minister, and finally narrowed his eyes.

"Cao Cao, a hundred officials in Luoyang, plundered a lot, and I also sent soldiers and horses to escort the rest to the feet of the emperor. After all, there must be no one around the world. I, Lu Bu, am a loyal minister of the great man."

Everyone lowered their heads one by one, but they all understood the meaning very well. He, Lu Bu, does not need the emperor's officials right now.

"Yuan Hao."

"Lord."

Tian Feng went out to look at his lord, and saw Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "The autumn harvest is coming soon, Gu Yong can't leave Chang'an, so please trouble Yuan Hao to go to Luoyang to manage it."

"It's also fortunate that Li Ru had a good foundation when he was here, and even copied our system, and it's easy to get started. We must take precautions against the autumn harvest."

"Promise!" Tian Feng knew the rigor of the matter, and even more clearly knew that once this year's autumn harvest is well managed and the people have food in their hands, then next year will be relatively easy.

Especially the people in Luoyang, these few years have not been easy.

After finishing all this, Lu Bu flipped through the top ten examination papers, and finally sighed helplessly. Tian Feng, Jia Xu and others who watched this scene also sighed slightly.

"This time, most of the imperial examinations were participated by the poor and powerful children. The aristocratic families have their own arrogance, and they came to Chang'an more because of Zangshu Pavilion."

The first imperial examination was shabby, and there were not many children from real aristocratic families, and even those who participated were mostly concubines who were not valued.

Even so, among the ten papers, there are still five children from aristocratic families, three children from poor families, and the remaining two local tyrants.

From this ratio, we can see the background of the family. Even if the bastard is not liked, he is still well educated.

"Guo Jia is at the top of the list, and the rest are also extraordinary. Although they don't have great talents, they are good enough to govern one side. They should be properly arranged."

promise!
Seeing the family's sudden silence, Lu Bu sneered even more, and said with a sarcastic laugh: "Let out the rumors, saying that Yingchuan Guo Jia is a genius, and there is a theory of ghost talent, so he is specially recruited as an aide."

Jia Xu was stunned when he heard this, and then a smile appeared on his face. He knew Guo Jia, and his master liked him very much, and he was even more talented in his words.

But now the lord is doing this, obviously to put Guo Jia on the bright side. Once Guo Jia becomes famous in the future, the imperial examination will be pushed to the peak again.

A rising star, maybe!Thinking of this, Jia Xu suddenly smiled.

"My lord is wise." Jia Xu cupped his hands respectfully, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, at least someone would be able to share his pressure in the future.

"By the way, to publicize the plan to capture Luoyang this time is the genius of Lang Guo Jia, the number one scholar in the imperial examination."

At this time, the corner of Lu Bu's mouth showed a sneer, this time he had to make good use of Guo Jia's identity.

"My lord, will this put too much pressure on Guo Jia?" Tian Feng was obviously a good-natured person, and he saw the pressure, so he couldn't help asking hesitantly.

Sometimes being famous is not a good thing, you have to have the ability to bear it.

Regarding Tian Feng's kindness, Lu Bu waved his hands casually and said with a smile: "This man really has the wisdom to live up to the genius. You have underestimated him too much. I am afraid that few people in the world can surpass this man in terms of strategy. about."

Facing Lu Bu's remarks, Tian Feng showed even more astonishment. That young Guo Jia has such abilities, and it's not that his lord wants to take advantage of Guo Jia's status as a poor family.

And Jia Xu was even more delighted after hearing this, and now someone finally came to the fore.

"The top ten in the imperial examination must be made with great fanfare, especially on the way of appointment. Telling them directly is telling the world. First let them go to Xiliang to assist Cheng Yu in governing, and then they will be promoted according to their personal ability. Even if I am the prefect of a county, I will never Don't be stingy."

"My lord is wise."

For the first imperial examination, even if the ability of this group of people is insufficient, he, Lu Bu, has to train them with all his strength, and set an example for the future.

Otherwise, the talents selected by the imperial examination will be wiped out among the crowd, who will take the imperial examination under Lu Bu's rule seriously for the second time three years later.

Even if Cai Daru is responsible, the first time is okay, but the second time I go, I am afraid that I will be laughed at.

"My lord, for the champion of martial arts, is there any arrangement for Zilong?"

Tian Feng asked hesitantly, but Lu Bu sighed helplessly, "It is announced that all young heroes in the army, who are under the rank of lieutenant, are also eligible to sign up."

That's right, in order to avoid being left out, he even secretly sent out Zhao Yun, one of the generals.

Sure enough, in your liberal arts competition, people all over the world saw that Cai Daru and Zangshu Pavilion could make people famous in history, and even Zheng Xuan, a great scholar from Qingzhou, came all the way for this feat.

Martial arts!Although he, Lv Bu, is known as the number one military general in the world, but most of the warriors have chosen one side of the princes earlier, and there are not many people who are idle at home, and some are too young.

After all, the art of war is rare in the world, and there is a shortage of talents, especially those who have studied the art of war.

There are also those who have fallen into the grass, or those who have no ambitions, have traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an. To be honest, many people are waiting and watching.

"Hmph, spread the word, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong top the list of martial arts. His martial arts are not inferior to those of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei outside the Hulao Pass. He is more familiar with the art of war. He will definitely be a general in the future."

"Temporarily appoint Zhao Yun as the commander of my Lu Bu's personal soldiers. In the future, if there is a war, he can lead the army alone."

promise!
This time, Lu Bu showed all his strength to tell the world how much he attached importance to the selection of talents through the imperial examination.

It is to tell the world that it is not because Cai Daru's decision-making is just a formality on the surface.

When these two pieces of news spread, everyone in Chang'an was shocked, and everyone was even more curious to know who Guo Jia was.To be able to get such an evaluation from Lu Bu.

Especially after Lu Bu personally said that the strategic plan to capture Luoyang was made by this person, all the literati in Chang'an City immediately attached great importance to Guo Jia, who came from a poor family.

For the rest of Zhao Yun, to be honest, not many people paid much attention to it. After all, Lu Bu's prestige is too high, and there are many fierce generals under his command, it is difficult to reveal Zhao Yun.

However, in the future, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia, who were selected for the first time in the imperial examination, won the first place in the literary and martial arts examinations, which shocked the world and even surprised everyone.
