Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 770: The Hard Bone

Gan Ning and Duanmu Ling were waiting for Yu Jin's news, but they didn't know that Yu Jin was also in a dilemma at this time.

Yu Jin set out from Pengcheng and encountered tenacious resistance from Niu Jin and Li Xu in Xiao County. The two armies fought for ten days, and Niu Jin was defeated and retreated westward to Feng County. The prefect Lu Qian rushed to support.After Yu Jin captured Xiang County, he left Zhuge Xu to garrison, diverted his route to the south, and captured Zhi County, Zhuyi County, Fuli County, Qi County, Wei County, Longkang County, and Hong County one after another.Qiao County has [-] counties under its jurisdiction, and the Han army has captured nine of them, leaving only Feiting, Kuxian, Song, Chengfu, Shansang, Feng, and Zhisuo Qiao counties in the hands of the Wei army.

"Father, our army is exhausted." Yu Gui was very helpless, Qiao Jun was too difficult to chew.According to past experience, when the army of the Wei army was defeated, the counties either surrendered to the city or fled. This was not the case in Qiao County. There were only a few hundred soldiers guarding it, but under the leadership of the county magistrate, officials and big households, they gathered one or two thousand youths. Zhuang fought stubbornly to the end, and when the city fell, the treasury was burned, which caused a lot of trouble for the Han army.

"Qiao County is the hometown of the Cao family. It has a lot of people's hearts, and he is also a stubborn and incompetent confidant." Yu Jin sighed softly. Isn't this what he didn't expect beforehand.

"Then what do we do?"

"Temporarily suspend the troops. Send people to inquire about the Huainan war, and send people to report to the Duke."

Holding the battle report, Zhou Cang frowned. The battle in Yanzhou was not satisfactory, and so was the battle in Yuzhou. What should we do?Cao Cao's painstaking efforts in Yanzhou and Yuzhou for decades are really not in vain. These two bones are so difficult to crack.

Temporary truce?Compete with Cao Wei for national power and eat him away bit by bit?Or simply increase the number of troops on a large scale, set off a battle, and win the battle quickly?Will the main battlefield of the battle continue to be in Yuzhou or change to Yanzhou?
Can't wait any longer.Zhou Cang thought about it for a full hour, and there were several more gray hairs.

Order [-], Wang Ji served as governor of Mengzhou, Boba served as General Pingbei, and Han Shu served as general to guard Mengzhou.Han Long led [-] riders south to Yuzhou to help the ban.

Order [-], Qu'a was the governor of the Northern Army, took over Lu Xun's military affairs, and worked with Cao Xing to help Zang Ba pacify the northern border.Jin Luxun was the general of chariots and cavalry, and went south to Hanoi to discuss with Zhang Jai and Xu Huang that he would go south to Sizhou and Yanzhou.

Order three, Pei Feng led five thousand Qingqi from his headquarters to Jibei, waiting for dispatch.

Proposed to the Privy Council that Cui Jun be moved to Yuzhou Governor, and the vacancy of Xuzhou Governor should be nominated by the Privy Council together with the Ministry of Civil Affairs.He was not in the court, and there was a dark ups and downs, Zhou Cang didn't mind throwing another stone to see if there would be any disturbances.The election is the rock, and things that have never happened before are the best carrier to test people.

With qualifications, fame and ability, Cui Jun is undoubtedly the best candidate to be the governor of Yuzhou. Yu Jin has already taken the first bite, and the next one will be even more difficult.Wu Gang struggled a lot in Lu County, changing people's thinking is even more difficult than fighting!
200 people from the mission department went to the fields day and night to preach everywhere. The common people listened to them with little understanding, the scholars couldn't listen to it, and the big households couldn't hide.Checking household registration, measuring and allocating land, preparing for spring plowing, and organizing popular elections, the petty officials are useless, and the newly appointed officials are too busy to touch the ground.Jin Yiwei cracked several cases one after another. Some passed information to Cao Wei, some spread rumors to slander the Han government, and some absconded at home. In the case of conclusive evidence, Wu Gang did not directly question the crime but arranged for a public trial to win people's hearts. After entering the court, the daily files only increased.Among the common people and big households, there are many people who are passive and unwilling to cooperate. Wu Gang dare not force them, and just wait to free up their hands to clean up slowly; there are also those who sing praises and show off in front of Wu Gang. What do you mean, but knowing that this is definitely not a good word, don't listen to these people, and slowly screen them.

After two months, Wu Gang lost a lot of weight. According to his words, facing thousands of troops did not take so much effort.Fortunately, the school has been in operation for more than 200 years, and the annual number of graduates has increased from the initial 3000 to [-], and the number of people engaged in politics has reached [-]. The appointment, removal, exchange and transfer documents of the Ministry of Political Affairs are sent to various places like snowflakes.

Under the strong pressure of the parliament, the emperor Liu Xie compromised and gave up the exclusive possession of the tribute.The amount below [-] yuan belongs to the inner government, and [-]% of the tax is paid if it exceeds [-] yuan.However, in order to preside over the affairs of Shenggong, Liu Xie worked hard to set up a committee, and he himself served as the chairman. Sheng Gong, Fa Sheng Gong, Yi Sheng Gong, Shang Sheng Gong, Craftsman Sheng Gong, Nong Sheng Gong, Xuan Sheng Gong.It is said that each state and county recommends and selects after six months.

When the news came out, the states and counties were shaken, and there were mixed praises and criticisms. Many great Confucians were dissatisfied with comparing the sages of merchants and craftsmen with the sages of literature.Frightened by the majesty of the emperor and hard to disobey public opinion, he could only complain in private, but in Lu County, the hometown of Confucius, the descendants of the Kong family initiated a consortium, and they must take Wen Sheng down.Not only do they want to take Wen Sheng down, but they also want to seek the shadow of their descendants.

They put forward many reasons. The merits of the ancestors are the first, the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's respect for Confucianism is the second, and the Confucian descendants have far superior morals and talents.Kong's inherited lineage is more noble than others, Kong's family education is more complete than others, Kong's descendants are more polite than others, Kong Rong knew how to make pears when he was four years old, and so on.The Confucian scholars and the scholars echoed the voice, making the students in the Academy of Arts uneasy.

Sun Lin, the editor's assistant, asked Jiang Gan, Minister of Propaganda and Education Department, for advice. Jiang Gan picked out a kit and looked at it carefully for a while, then laughed and said, "That's just right. Open the forum immediately. The topic: Let Li Speak."

Let Li speak, starting with a series of questions:
Question [-], Kong Rong was not a grown-up in the family, why did Kong Rong, who was four years old, share pears?Is it wrong for the Kong family to do so?
Question [-]: Turnips and greens have their own favorites. Why not let everyone pick them up according to their own preferences? Those who don’t like pears should be divided into large ones, while those who like pears should be divided into small ones. Is this reasonable distribution?
Question [-]: Kong Rong gave up the big pears to the elders because he was young, and gave up the big pears to the young because he was grown up. The standards were different. Could it be an excuse because Kong Rong didn't like pears.

Other problems are even more varied, such as why are the pears given by guests different in size?The size of the pear does not mean the taste is good or bad, etc.As soon as the question came out, the participants were puzzled as to why there were so many questions. After thinking about it carefully, these questions seemed to be full of deep meaning.

Questions should be answered, but people suddenly find that there is no better explanation than humility.Someone immediately pointed out, is humility and comity a disadvantage for yourself?Who would dare to divide the pears after that?Some people even sharply accused that the so-called humility and comity are to earn fame. What is the difference between this and fame?
