Shuhan

The next morning.

Yang Wanwan had a dark circle under his eyes. When he saw Ma Su and Lei Ding again, he was told a shocking news.

Yuezhi City has been controlled by the Han army!
this.
Are you kidding me?
How can it be?

Regarding Yang Wanwan's confused expression, Ma Su was secretly pleased with himself.

I heard that you, Yang Wanwan, think you are very powerful?
Now that I have seen the kingly laws of the Han Dynasty, I know that your so-called power is nothing compared to your majesty's kingly laws, just like the light of a firefly compared to the bright moon.

Ma Di tried his best to hold back his smile and said to Yang Wanwan: "Yang Tiao, a man from Anding, planned to capture Peng Tianci, the magistrate of Yuezhi City. Yuezhi City is already under our control."

So smooth?

After digesting the news for a while.

Yang Wanwan still had a look of disbelief on his face.

"I heard that Yuezhi City is a fortified city. There are five hundred elites and thousands of auxiliary soldiers in the city. I thought that even if there was an internal response, there would be a lot of casualties, but I didn't expect it to end like this."

Lei Ding nodded, he thought so too.

He had surrendered to the Han Kingdom early and was very clear about Liu Bei's methods. This was the first time he had seen with his own eyes the methods of the current Jia family.

I had heard those outrageous rumors before about how powerful His Majesty was, and I thought they were just what everyone else said.

But now it seems.

That's not the case at all.

The rumors were true, and the reality was even more outrageous than the rumors.

Wherever Master Wang went, the people wholeheartedly welcomed him!

We haven’t attacked the city yet!
The people in the city then came out of the city. What kind of magic is this?
Notice.

In Anding County, the number of Han people is far less than that of the Hu people. It would be fine if His Majesty has such a great influence in a place where there are many Han people.

This is Anding, a place where Lu Shuihu has a large number of people. So your Majesty’s reputation is still useful?

It's simply off the mark.

Ma Su obviously saw the shock of the two people.

He patted the corner of his clothes and said to the two of them: "If you read the "Records of the Words and Deeds of the Heavenly Family" written by His Majesty, you will know the trick."

"Records of Tianjia's Words and Deeds"?
Yang Wanwan and Lei Ding were stunned.

Ma Su explained on the side:

"This is a book that every student in the Martial Arts Hall needs to read and memorize to pass the exam. It records His Majesty's ambitions, His way of looking at things, and His comments on some moral matters."

After saying that, Ma Su showed a look of fascination on his face.

"I heard that when students from the Jiangwu Hall graduate, if they don't score above ninety-nine points in the Tianlu class, they have not understood the true meaning of His Majesty and are not qualified to be taught swords by His Majesty. Many people have scored eighty-nine points in the exam and have failed. You must take the Tianlu test again one month later in order to receive the sword instruction from His Majesty himself."

The students of the martial arts hall are the disciples of the emperor.

He is already his own faction in the military.

Or it cannot be said to be a school of its own.

Young disciples from many factions have integrated into the martial arts hall.

These people who come from martial arts halls often get promoted quickly and are envied by their peers.

It is precisely because of this that more and more people want to join the martial arts hall, which has led to the involution of the martial arts hall and the talents produced have become more and more high-level.

The examination items for entering the martial arts hall have also changed unknowingly.

Not only are there more subjects and they are more practical, but they are also subdivided.

Not only are they used for fighting, but many are also used for building the rear.

Those used for fighting are divided into four parts.

They are the headquarters, political department, logistics department, and equipment department.

There are various types of subjects used to build logistics. Often when the Han State needs it, a new subject will be added.

Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of Medicine.
Covering almost all walks of life.

The rise of the martial arts hall has a feeling that all the outstanding people in the world have been trapped in the urn of the Han Dynasty.

in fact.

This is also a way for Liu Chan to break through the family's monopoly on talents.

An alternative imperial examination system.

Because this martial arts school examination system did not arise suddenly, but Liu Chan had been planning it for a long time during the war, and it already had a certain influence in the country.

If Liu Chan suddenly used the martial arts hall to divide the power of the Run family, they would definitely not be willing to do so.

Fortunately
The upstarts in the martial arts hall are gradually able to compete with the power of the aristocratic families. There is a high probability that Liu Chan's reform can be carried out.

To put it bluntly, reforms are not made casually.

Just talking with your mouth and issuing a few edicts are completely useless.

If you can create a new interest group and then let it replace the old interest group.

Only then can this reform be possible.

If we attack old interest groups out of thin air without supporting new interest groups, reform will surely fail.

Even if you succeed in reforming with your methods and prestige while you are alive, after your death, there will be no interest groups to protect your achievements. In the end, your achievements will definitely be stolen by the old interest groups. .

Liu Chan still understands this truth very well.

"Mr. Yang has always heard about the Wushu Hall and has seen several talented people from the Wushu Hall. They are indeed outstanding people."

The emperor of Han had popular support and attracted so many talented people. Who could overthrow such a powerful Han?
Who can defeat it?

Yang Wanwan, who was originally unruly, unknowingly retracted his minions.

Start to have fun singing and dancing.

He really didn't dare to be awesome.

"I have two sons, but unfortunately they only know how to dance with guns and sticks. I wonder if they can pass the examination at the martial arts hall."

When Lei Ding heard Ma Su talking about the martial arts hall, a look of worry suddenly appeared on his face.

The competition in the martial arts hall is fierce, and those who graduate will be known as Emperor's disciples. During the learning process, classmates who are in the same or even different periods with you will feel like a fellow student.

These classmates will definitely be very successful in Han Dynasty in the future. These are all connections!
There are so many benefits, which naturally makes this position too difficult to grab.

Hearing this, Ma Su laughed and said: "General, don't disturb me. Although it is difficult to enter the martial arts hall, there are fifty opportunities to enter the martial arts hall every year. Although these fifty places are equally difficult to grab, General Lei is now Now that you have settled down, it is not difficult to earn some merit! "

"I see."

Lei Ding's eyes lit up.

Originally, he performed meritorious service for the sake of his career, but now, he had another reason to perform meritorious service.

To earn a future for my useless sons!

"Since Yuezhi City has been destroyed, let's enter the city!"

Yang Wanwan was also itched by Ma Su's words.

He has many sons. If one or two can enter the martial arts hall, then the Baiqing Di family will have successors.

To be honest, he was moved.

Ma Su nodded and said: "The news of the fall of Yuezhi City has not spread yet. What I mean is to send a cavalry to surprise Xiaoguan."

Yuezhi City was destroyed too quickly because of Yang Tiao.

General Xiao Guan, who was behind Yuezhi City, must not have expected this.

In fact, even Yang Wanwan, Lei Ding and others did not expect that Yuezhi City could be taken down so easily.

If so.

Then you can take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and capture Xiao Pass.

Notice.

To capture Xiao Pass is not an easy task. ,

The Liupanshan Mountains lie across the northwest of Guanzhong and serve as its northwest barrier.

The passage from Longshang into Guanzhong is mainly the valley lowland cut by rivers such as Weihe River and Jinghe River.

The mountains in the Weihe River direction are steeper, while the Jinghe River direction is relatively easy.

Xiaoguan stands at the Liupan Mountain Pass, guarding the passage into Guanzhong from the Jinghe River.

The threats to the northwest of Guanzhong mainly come from nomadic peoples in Longxi, Hexi and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, they were mainly the Xiongnu, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, they were mainly the Turks and Tubos, and during the Northern Song Dynasty, they were mainly the Xixia Dangxiang. Xiaoguan is the outpost of Guanzhong to fight against the invasion of northwest nomads.

In the fourteenth year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty), the Xiongnu entered Xiaoguan and harassed Beidi and other counties, causing shock in Guanzhong.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, national strength increased and emphasis was placed on the defense of the north. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went out to Xiaoguan twice to inspect the northwest border and put troops on the fortress to intimidate the Xiongnu.

Since the late Northern Dynasties, the Turks have been dominant outside the Great Wall, and the Central Plains regime has been frequently disturbed by them.

During the reign of Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Yuanzhong was appointed as the general manager of Xiaoguan, and he commanded heavy troops to guard Xiaoguan in preparation for Turks. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Xixia established by the Dangxiang people dominated the northwest.

In the nearly one hundred years of confrontation between Song and Xia, the Xiaoguan area was the forefront of the confrontation between the two sides.

It can be seen that Xiaoguan is a battleground for military strategists.

Xiao Guanruo was occupied by the Han army.

Anding County will be undefeated.

Going straight down the Jinghe River, we can directly drive and stabilize the Peng family's nest. The tug-of-war originally expected will most likely end within a month or two.

Such a dangerous pass, if we attack when the enemy is on guard, we will definitely lose countless troops.

If you can make a sneak attack, you will naturally make a sneak attack.

At this moment, both Yang Wanwan and Lei Ding wanted to make meritorious deeds, and they stepped forward and said: "Sudden attack on Xiaoguan, leave this matter to Yang!"

"Brother Yang just surrendered to my Han army. He didn't understand the situation and attacked Xiao Pass. I will defeat him!"

The two of you stared at me, and I stared at you. The smell of gunpowder between the two was very strong, and there was quite a sense of tit-for-tat.

"General Ma, I only need three thousand soldiers to capture Xiao Pass!"

Yang Wanwan stared at Lei Ding without giving in at all!
"General Ma, I only need a thousand soldiers to capture Xiao Pass!"

Good guy, it’s even rolled up!
There was hesitation on Ma Su's face.

"this."

Volume, right?
Let me see how you roll it down!
"Eight hundred, I only need eight hundred people. Give me five days, and I, Yang Wanwan, can conquer the city, kill its master, and win Xiao Pass for the Han!"

In order to get this credit, Yang Wanwan went all out.

"Five hundred, I only need five hundred men and horses. Give me three days, and I, Lei Ding, can conquer the city, kill its master, and win Xiao Pass for the Han!"

five hundred?

Yang Wanwan stared at Lei Ding and suddenly laughed.

"Xiao Pass is an important pass, with five hundred people. Brothers of the Lei family, can you really win Xiao Pass? It's one thing to compete with me for credit, but it's another thing to put your own life on the line."

"Humph!"

Yang Qianwan snorted coldly and said, "I am sure of myself when I say this. Otherwise, can you capture Xiaoguan with less than 500 troops?"

Yang Wanwan was sure that he could not defeat Lei Ding, so he just snorted coldly, turned his head and said nothing.

He was cursing secretly in his heart: Old dog, for the sake of merit, you even risked your life, so I’m just waiting to collect your body! The credit for winning Xiao Guan in the end belongs to me, Yang Wanwan!

"In this case, General Lei led five hundred elite troops and immediately sent troops to attack Xiaoguan. General Yang sent troops to capture Wushi City to prevent the Peng family's army from coming to reinforce Xiaoguan!"

Lei Ding heard the words and agreed loudly!
Although Yang Wanwan did not come out on top, he still had an errand.

This task of breaking the city and blocking the attack must have contributed a lot.

The two men each led their troops to leave.

Ma Su took the remaining people and entered the city in a hurry.

First, let Yang Tiao bring Peng Tianci over.

The Peng family tribe in the city was disarmed early.

The auxiliary soldiers were also controlled.

As for the brave villagers
They were directly broken up and organized into the Han army's logistics queue.

Yuezhi County Government Office Hall.

Ma Di looked at Peng Tianci, who was tied up with five flowers, his face was pale and his eyes were dull, and he smiled and said: "Quickly untie Mr. Peng County, how can you behave like this?"

After the rope fell off Peng Tianci's eyes, there was finally some light in his eyes.

But his mouth is still very tough.

"If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please!"

Seeing this guy pretending to be tough, Yang Tiao sneered and said: "I put a sharp knife on your neck yesterday. If you have such courage, Yuezhi City will not be killed by Master Wang without shedding a drop of blood." Take it."

"you!"

As soon as Yang Tiao said this, Peng Tianci's face turned red from suppressing it, but he was speechless.

He was totally embarrassed last night.

No one in Yuezhi City died, and no battle was fought, so it was lost.

With such a performance, he was afraid that he would not survive even if he returned to the Peng family compound.

It must be served by the clan law.

Thinking of this, Peng Tianci felt that his life had become gloomy.

"Why did the Yang brothers say this? Mr. Peng County is just a man who knows the current affairs and is a hero. He has merit in bringing order to the chaos at the critical moment."

Credit?

Peng Tianci was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Ma Di's half-smiling face, and couldn't help but feel a little hope in his heart.

"Yes! I have merit, and I am willing to be the man's dog!"

very good!

Ma Su nodded with satisfaction.

That's a good attitude.

"Have you ever understood His Majesty's arrangements for stabilizing the Peng family?"

Peng Tianci was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, so he could only nod.

"What do you think?"

Can I say something bad?

Peng Tianci just wanted to live now, and immediately said: "His Majesty's will, Tianci naturally knows it. Whatever your Majesty says, Tianci is willing to obey. In Anding County, Tianci is willing to be your Majesty's minions to stabilize the Lushui and Hu tribes in Anding County. !”

With a strong desire to survive, Peng Tianci also found the value of his own life.

He was born in the Peng family and was a direct descendant.

It still has appeal to stabilize the Lushui and Hu tribes.

If Your Majesty wants to control the various ministries of Lushuihu in peace and stability, it is not enough to rely on weapons alone, you also need a leading party.

And he, Peng Tianci, is very suitable to be such a person.

"Yes, Peng Tianci, you are very good!"

The smile on Ma Su's face became brighter and brighter.

"As long as you are obedient, wealth and honor will be yours."

As for authority?

Excuse me.
Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.

The power of Anding County is naturally in the hands of His Majesty!

the other side.

November 10th, the first year of Tianming.

Yang Wanwan led his elite troops outside Wushi City.

A sneak attack at night.

But he didn't expect that the people who defended the city were very skilled, so he failed to make a sneak attack, so he had to besiege the city and build siege equipment to prepare for a storm.

Fortunately, Wushi City was not as strong as Yuezhi City. Yang Wanwan estimated in his heart that even if there were more than a thousand corpses, it could still be captured.

Before, Yang Wanwan would never have attacked the city.

In his opinion, the life of the Di warriors in more than one thousand hectares was exchanged for the credit of the Han Dynasty. This deal was too bad.

But now he doesn't think so.

This is paving the way for his son. Not to mention the lives of more than a thousand Di warriors, even two thousand, if they can exchange for a place in the martial arts hall, that is a profit!
It should be noted that the enrollment quota in the martial arts hall represents a stepping stone to a high-ranking official with two thousand stones, which can bring glory to the ancestors.

Dead people, what does it matter?
. . .

In Wushi City.

Peng Dangbo, the guard of Wuzhi City who was under siege, had a hard time.

It can even be said that it is very difficult.

Heads are almost falling to the ground.

Because he was surrounded by the soldiers and civilians in Wuzhi City.

Good guy!
Are Chinese folk songs so powerful?
First, Yuezhi City was conquered, but now Wuzhi City will also be lost?
A large number of people, so dark that one could not see the end, actually surrounded the general's mansion.

Peng Dangbo's heart felt a lot cold!

Could it be that Wushi City cannot be defended even for a day? (End of chapter)
