Chapter 1202 After the War

...

Everyone who returned to Jincheng County calmed down and began to count the number and strength of their troops.

The final result of the count made Cao Chun's face look ashen, and he went straight into a state of despair.

Even Cao Ang, who followed the army, knew how badly they were defeated this time.

Ma Chao's army, which took the lead and dared to fight, was deeply trapped in the enemy's formation, looking for retreat and assisting the rear. The final casualties paid were close to 3,000 people.

A legion has lost so many troops. In terms of strength, it can be said that it is completely damaged.

Especially this unit is still pure Qiang cavalry. Even though their strength and experience have improved after the battle, their overall strength has dropped significantly.

They are carefully selected Qiang cavalry, which means that it is relatively difficult to recruit troops. When suitable Qiang cavalry can be trained and added to the army, I dare not think or guess.

The final result made the young Ma Chao drink a little sadly, and his whole person was full of unwillingness.

When he looked at Cao Chun, he no longer had the awe and respect in the past, but only calmness.

As for what his true thoughts were, even Cao Ang did not dare to guess.

After all, what Ma Chao did, even as a bystander, he could understand that Ma Chao definitely tried his best.

Even when cutting off the rear, it was equivalent to putting his own life on the line to ensure that the Cao family's elite tiger and leopard cavalry could withdraw safely.

From this aspect, they owe Ma Chao a huge favor.

Although Ma Chao's behavior and the final results were in line with their idea of ​​weakening Ma Teng's power.

But for some reason, Cao Ang always felt that there was something wrong with this method.

Weakening can be achieved in other ways, which are gentler and weaker, rather than through such orders on the battlefield.

As for Pang De's army, which helped Ma Chao break off the rear and assisted in the attack, it was much better, with only more than a thousand casualties. Overall, its strength was still there!

In addition, it is a Han cavalry unit. As long as it is allowed to replenish troops, it will be relatively easy to replenish them.

However, he spent more time comforting Ma Chao, who was in a bad mood.

Although in the battlefield fighting, Ma Chao's strength has also been greatly improved, and he can jump quickly.

After all, the kind of environment where if you can't kill others, you will be killed by others, it stimulates Ma Chao's physical condition, and he unconsciously learns and strengthens himself.

But after the first battle, most of the comrades who used to get along were lost.

Ma Chao, who had never experienced such a tragic war, found it difficult to accept it for a while.

After all, the young Ma Chao, influenced by his father, still values ​​friendship and emotion, unlike the profit-seeker after middle age.

During the final retreat, the entire infantry army lost nearly 10,000 troops compared with the troops who had taken the initiative to break off and stayed behind. It can be said that more than half of the troops were killed or injured.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by Cao Chun also suffered more than 3,000 casualties.

The most elite troops of the Cao family have suffered heavy losses, and it is still unknown when they will be replaced.

As for Cao Xiu's army, the price of almost total destruction was deeply imprinted in Cao Ang's mind.

Cao Xiu, who was able to survive against Liu Bei's army, now fell here, which made people feel chilled.

For the first time, since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the face of foreign armies, the elite regiments were wiped out by non-Huns.

This tragic price made Cao Ang no longer hesitate. He wrote down all the direct results of the battle and the reasons for what happened. Finally, he regarded it as a letter asking for help and ordered the soldiers to send it back as soon as possible.

… ˆ ˆ Liu Tong, who was in Fenggao City, was still helping Chen Xi to hold the first imperial examination and had no idea what was happening in Liangzhou.

But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care too much.

Although she can laugh at Cao Cao's behavior, she will never laugh at Cao Cao's abilities.

Cao Cao's own ability and judgment, with such strength, who knows what will become of him.

In this unknowing situation, Liu Tong handled his own affairs somewhat seriously and arranged the rules and procedures for the first imperial examination.

Although the first imperial examination was open to the public, all men, women, old and young could participate, regardless of status.

But Liu Tong didn't even have to think about the talents who could be selected in the end. He knew that these people must come from aristocratic families.

The final result will definitely satisfy the family, and naturally there will be no thoughts of stopping it.

And this means that a small hole can be opened in this aspect of the promotion channel.

And put the road there, waiting for those who come after you to join.

As long as there is such a road, sooner or later, real strong people will emerge among the common people, and through this road, they can hold a position.

At that time, the proportion of power of the aristocratic family can be further suppressed and weakened.

After all, the aristocratic families of this era are not rotten to the core.

I can still accept that those strong men who stand out from the common people are extremely confident in their own abilities and life.

I believe that I will not lose to those common people and the so-called imperial examination system.

In the eyes of many children of aristocratic families, it is a system that allows ordinary people to recognize their abilities.

Let ordinary people understand how huge the gap is between them as ordinary people and the children of aristocratic families.

Recognizing this gap will be more conducive to their stable rule.

The different thinking gaps between the two sides ultimately promoted the birth and smooth development of the imperial examination system.

As a candidate for the first imperial examination, Liu Tong, who had nothing to do, was given the title of question maker by Chen Xi and needed to write questions.

It is not the common Four Books and Five Classics, but the number among the Six Arts of the Gentleman!

"For things like this, you should go to Zibo or Zhaoji. They are the professionals in this field!" Liu Tong looked at the dense papers in front of him and said without any heartache.

Although she can choose to copy and paste, there are not many math questions she can choose from.

Because in this era, most mathematical formulas have not officially entered the stage of history.

Some seemingly simple math problems are fatal in this era.

Based on this, it would be even more outrageous to consider step-by-step and hierarchical questions.

And the people she had contact with, Lu Yi and Chen Xi, were both masters in arithmetic, so naturally they couldn't be used as reference candidates.

In the end, the seemingly simple process made Liu Tong feel numb.
