We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

After coming out of the government office, Xi Yu felt exhausted. Somehow, he had already arrived at Tiangongyuan.

At this moment, the flowers at home were not as fragrant as wild flowers, and Mrs. Zou made him happy both physically and mentally...

The next day, a notice was posted near every gate of Xiapi City. At the same time, brothers Xu Jing and Xu Shao used their connections to spread the notice quickly. Soon, the notice spread throughout Xuzhou, causing a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys. .

An unprecedented move by a teacher!

All the children of soldiers who died on the battlefield can directly enter the school to learn all knowledge without paying any money.

Moreover, among these people, anyone who has achieved academic success can directly enter the Academy of Sciences and become an official.

Those who can make contributions to the Academy of Sciences can be directly promoted to the military camp or to local county magistrates.

As soon as such a decree came out, within two days, the people of Xuzhou City, especially the people who came from Qingzhou, were all ecstatic.

For a time, all the families with children rushed to the school, and some people even went to the front camp and the supply camp to look for people who might be familiar with the Qingzhou soldiers, so as to have a better chance of entering the school.

Within a few days, there was a sea of ​​people outside the school, like a long queue.

Dian Wei was appointed by Xi Yu to manage the school's guards and always guarded the door himself.

He had a posthumous title at a young age and was very prestigious in the supply camp, so many people in Qingzhou went to seek help from Dian Wei.

Seeing so many people taking pictures at the entrance of the school, Dian Wei was very angry and couldn't help shouting at the crowd, "Don't make any noise, you all line up for me!"

"Wang Meng, why did you come to the school? What do you want to do?"

Dian Wei suddenly noticed Wang Meng who was jumping in line among the crowd. This person was the deputy general of the transport camp. What surprised Dian Wei even more was that Wang Meng was from Changshan, so why did he come to the school to queue up.

When Wang Meng saw Dian Wei seeing him, he was very happy and quickly replied, "Dian Wei, what do you think I am doing here? Of course it is to enroll in school!!

"Dian Wei, have you forgotten who saved you in Wancheng?!"

Dian Wei's face darkened, "I..."

Dian Wei cursed secretly in his heart: Damn it, you mentioned this again in full view of everyone!

But Dian Wei couldn't pull him down after all, so he had to say, "Hurry up and take the children in first!"

Seeing this, someone immediately scolded, "How dare you jump in line in public, our child is also an orphan, why should you go in first!"

"That's right, General Dian Wei, if you can't treat everyone equally, we'll go to Mr. Xi and tell him!"

Dian Wei glared and said angrily, "You guys don't have to make any noise!"

"Without the desperate protection of the father of these children, I, Dian Wei, would have died in the battle long ago. If you are dissatisfied, just call me Dian Wei! Don't try to oppress me with your master!"

Hearing what Dian Wei said, everyone didn't know how to respond for a moment, "General Dian, this, this..."

Although they were unwilling to do so, they could only watch as Wang Meng jumped in line and brought a group of children into the school.

After coming to school, many children choose engineering studies.

Because there were not many Confucian teachers at this time, there were only two brothers, Xu Jing and Xu Shao. However, the reputation of these two people was so bad that these children really did not want to study Confucianism with them.

The remaining children chose "Mathematics". Although they didn't know what they studied in "Mathematics", after all, it was taught by the opera master himself, so the children were willing to give it a try.

After a busy afternoon, all the orphans on the battlefield have entered the school, a total of 1,830 people.

According to Xi Yu's arrangement, Guo Jia was responsible for the school's food and accommodation. Ten people lived in each large room, thus freeing up many courtyards for new students.

After a lot of work, the school built by Xi Yu was opened.

Although the students in the school were very hopeful, the Confucian students outside the school were extremely angry.

“It’s such a shame and a huge disgrace!!”

Outside Chen Deng's house, there was a sea of ​​people, all of whom were gentry and Confucian scholars. Behind them, stood a group of children from poor families. They knew that they were of low status and were afraid of being looked down upon by gentry and Confucian scholars, so they stood far aside.

"This is too much. This is simply humiliating us, the Confucian scholars of the gentry!"

"These battlefield orphans, a group of people born in humble origins, Master Xi actually allowed them to enter the school, and even allowed these people to enter the Academy of Sciences in the future!"

"That's right, Mr. Xi's plans for running schools and even official positions are really childish!!"

"Master Xi's move is indeed extremely unreasonable. According to customary rules, a person with such a humble status must first be inspected by the village and then his filial and honest character can be inspected before he can become an official!!"

"No, we will never agree to Mr. Xi's plans for running a school or even for official positions!!"

…

A group of gentry and Confucian scholars blocked Chen Deng's door. They were all filled with indignation and were very angry.

It seems that the only way to vent the anger in my heart is by yelling constantly.

Because in their opinion, the opera master's current school-running strategy compared Confucianism with other late-school studies, which was like treating them like beggars, and the design of official positions after graduation was like a meager amount of money given to them.

This made a group of Confucian scholars feel very ashamed.

However, the very angry person at this time was Chen Deng who was squatting at the door.

Seeing a group of nobles and Confucian scholars yelling and cursing casually, Chen Deng was very annoyed. He glanced at the long sword in his hand from time to time, but he thought it was a long sword!

A group of people who claimed to be well-educated in Confucianism actually gathered around his door and shouted abuses. How could this be rude?

My Chen Deng family actually has a fence. If you are dissatisfied with Xi Yu, you can go to Xi Yu or even Cao Cao to make trouble. Why are you making trouble in front of my house?

Chen Deng could not wait to slash at these people with a long knife!

"In my opinion, it is better to go to Xuchang and complain to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Yes, if the Prime Minister doesn't care, we will go to the palace and complain to the Emperor!"

"What you said is true, what you said is very reasonable. Master Xi is such a deviant, someone must control him!"

"You're right, we must not allow such things to continue, otherwise, where will the face of us literati be put?!"

Seeing that the Confucian scholars from the gentry were leaving, Chen Deng was about to breathe a sigh of relief when someone suddenly shouted at the door, "Gentlemen... Prime Minister..."

This man, dressed in ragged clothes, ran in with great strides. He was panting heavily due to too much anxiety, "Prime Minister... Your Majesty's legitimate son... Sili Colonel Cao Ang... is here in Xiapi!"

"Is this true?" Chen Deng said excitedly after hearing this.

"Really, Master Cao Ang is already in Xiapi!"

"Haha, great!!" Chen Deng laughed.

A group of gentry and Confucian scholars were also very excited when they heard this, "Young Master Cao has come at the right time, let's go, we'll go quickly, Young Master Cao has a good life!!"

"Yes, let's go to Mr. Cao to sue Mr. Xi. He must make Mr. Xi cancel the current policy of running a school!"

When they first resigned, these people were so free and easy.

However, after a period of time, these poor people and the noble class had to face the problem of money, rice, oil and salt. They had no way to make money, and it was a problem to face and eat.

If this continues, they will have to borrow grain from lowly farmers for many days...

Although this move is very shameful, when the time comes to untie the pot, it is better to live than to starve to death.

There is also a group of nobles who are even more uncomfortable at the moment. Compared with some single people with five families, they have many wives and concubines, and they are almost at the end of their rope. They will not sell their wives in exchange for money to survive...

For the current plan, they urgently need to become officials, so when they heard that Cao Ang came to Xiapi, they were all overjoyed and rushed to Cao Ang's place.

"Hurry up, let's go together to visit Master Cao Ang. In my opinion, we should give him a good reception!"

"I have a close relationship with Mr. Cao's family. I think back then, I had the honor to meet Mr. Cao Song, Mr. Cao's grandfather. We were both familiar with the family. We are also considered to be prominent in Xuzhou and we must not be used by the Langya Zhuge family. And That common man Mi Shi stepped on him!"

"This statement is very reasonable!! I also want to ask Mr. Cao Haosheng to tell me, I have studied hard for ten years, and I also have a strategy for governing Xuzhou!

But someone in the crowd suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, you are from a humble family and want to meet Mr. Cao to discuss governance strategies. You are simply asking for humiliation!!"

The man from a poor family retorted with a smile, "It's ridiculous to be pedantic! Since you come from a poor family, you don't have knowledge? Haha, whether you have knowledge or not will be revealed in a long interview!"

Seeing how excited everyone was, Chen Deng immediately entered the room, hung his sword on his waist, and said loudly, "Everyone, listen to me!"

"The sudden arrival of Mr. Cao shows that Mr. Cao of Xuchang has learned about the establishment of a school in Xuzhou. We must seize this opportunity to advise Mr. Cao. We must not let Mr. Xi act recklessly and insult Confucianism!"

"This is very reasonable. Let's go. When Mr. Yuan Long meets Mr. Cao, we must seek justice for us, the gentry and Confucian scholars!!"

"That's right, in my opinion, I have to ask Mr. Yuan Long to take the lead at this time!"

"I agree. Master Chen Gui will take the lead at this time. I will go with him to meet Mr. Cao to ask for an explanation!"

"It's very good at this time. Mr. Chen is our backbone! By the way, I remember that Mr. Yuanlong once had wine with the Prime Minister. He will definitely be able to speak in front of Mr. Cao!"

Chen Deng's heart sank, and he wished he could slap himself: A bunch of old foxes, I'm just being rude and just causing trouble for myself!

Only then did Chen Deng understand: Although these Confucian scholars were daily companions, they seemed to be unscrupulous, but they were actually shrewd and cunning.

…

In desperation, Chen Deng had no choice but to take this group of gentry and Confucian scholars to where Cao Ang was.

At this moment, the area around the Yamen School was crowded with people and even more noisy.

At this time, Cao Cao did not kill as much as in the original history. Instead, he promoted benevolent policies, giving the war-torn people a chance to settle down and live a life.

The people whose families were destroyed due to the Battle of Xuzhou also had new homes, which made them very grateful to Cao Cao.

Furthermore, the eldest son, Cao Ang, was filial, well-informed, and courteous. He had a good reputation since childhood, so his arrival was quickly welcomed by many people.

Not long after, the nobles also arrived.

A group of people and horses came towards me, like a long dragon.

The person walking at the front of the team was wearing a snow-white robe, with a gentle and elegant temperament and a calm expression.

This person is Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Cao!

Knowing that Cao Ang was bringing people from Xuchang, Xi Yu had already led everyone at the door to wait for Cao Ang.

Cao Ang rode to the gate of the government office. A general helped Cao Ang dismount. Cao Ang then quickly came to Xi Yu, bowed and said, "Ang'er has met my uncle."

Seeing Cao Ang coming at this moment, Xi Yu was very satisfied and said with a smile, "As long as you arrive safely, Ang'er doesn't have to be polite."

Xi Yu was even more delighted: Cao Cao really knew what I wanted. He must have known that the Xuzhou nobles were dissatisfied with the policy of running a school, so he specially sent Cao Ang to help him.

Xi Yu knew very well that although the nobles in Xuzhou City had long lost their real power and all the officials had been replaced, if these nobles secretly acted mischievously, they could definitely create a lot of unexpected trouble for him.

At this time, Cao Ang smiled and said to Xi Yu, "Uncle, please wait for me for a moment."

After saying this, Cao Ang immediately turned around and walked towards the people not far away.

At this moment, Cao Ang was majestic and resolute, somewhat like Cao Cao.

Seeing this, Chen Deng and others were very happy. A group of nobles immediately pushed Chen Deng and whispered, "Yuanlong, hurry up and say something to Mr. Cao!

Chen Deng hesitated a little, but was pushed by the person behind him. Chen Deng was immediately pushed out of the crowd and stood in front of the crowd. Someone said behind him, "Yuanlong, as long as you are the first to complain to Mr. Cao, we will follow you." Later, I will advance and retreat with you."

"Yes, Yuanlong, hurry up and find Mr. Cao. We Xuzhou nobles are all relying on you!!"

Being so recommended by everyone, Chen Deng's heart sank, and he was about to sue Xi Yu to Cao Ang, when Cao Ang suddenly pulled out his sword with a "clunk" sound!

There was a crisp sound, which was very harsh, and the sword's edge shone with light, like a cold light hitting the heart directly.

Cao Ang's move made the crowd, which was chatting constantly, suddenly quiet down.

Xi Yu even recognized the sword in Cao Ang's hand. This sword was Cao Cao's sword, the Qingzhi Sword.

This sword was forged with hundreds of steel-making methods, then tempered, and then beaten repeatedly by Dian Wei to obtain this sword.

"Everyone!!"

Just when everyone was shocked and confused, Cao Ang suddenly said in a loud voice, "I am the legitimate son of the current Prime Minister, Cao Ang, the captain of the Han Dynasty!"

"This green sword is a gift from my father. Use this sword to kill traitors and get rid of traitors!"

"Now, Mr. Xiyuxi is facing resistance in starting a new school. My father specially ordered me to enter the school as a teacher, and asked me to teach Confucianism, filial piety, integrity, and the principles of benevolence and righteousness!

"My father, the Prime Minister, even ordered me to teach Confucian classics. He also specially asked me to carry more than 2,000 Confucian classics books and give them to the opera master to help fund the school!"

Cao Ang paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "From today on, if there are still people in Xuzhou City who oppose Master Xi's running of the school, or who dare to obstruct the running of the school, I will kill them immediately with this sword!"

As he spoke, Cao Ang looked resolute and even more murderous.

…

As soon as Cao Ang said these words, needles could be heard all around.

After a while, Hanmen and the common people took the lead in discussing in low voices.

"Based on Mr. Cao's remarks, someone in the court must be supporting Master Xi's plan to run a school. From this point of view, Master Xi did not deceive us!!"

"Why do you want to deceive us, Master Xi? Our children are studying engineering. After completing our studies, we will go to the military camp to manufacture armaments. It will definitely be a great achievement!"

"As long as you make meritorious deeds, you will have the opportunity to rise to great heights, or even become famous!"

"So, if we ordinary people learn a good craft, we will have the opportunity to become officials, and even have the opportunity to rise to the top?!"

"Great, such a great opportunity, why should we hesitate? Enroll now!!"

"Yes, I will enroll in school too!"

For a time, the poor families and ordinary people who had been feeling inferior and hesitant before entered the school one after another to apply for admission.

Seeing this, a group of nobles looked at each other, and all of them screamed inwardly: They thought they could sue Xi Yu in front of Mr. Cao, but who would have thought that they were here to support Xi Yu.

Now that Chen Deng has been pushed out, if it is not the one who sued Xi Yu, I don’t know if he will really be killed by Cao Ang!

At this time, Xi Yu happened to see Chen Deng standing in front of the crowd. Seeing his nervous expression, he asked, "Yuanlong, do you have something to say when you come here?"

Chen Deng suddenly trembled and thought to himself: What should I do?

Suddenly, Chen Deng noticed that Cao Ang had looked towards him. Chen Deng suddenly became more nervous and frightened, and a cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Cao Ang now supports Xi Yu's plan to run a school in front of everyone. If he, Chen Deng, dares to oppose it in public, wouldn't he be asking for death?

A good man doesn't want to suffer the consequences. Chen Deng quickly clenched his fists and said with a smile against his will, "I do have something to say!"

Chen Deng paused, "In the past two days, I have been thinking hard about Master Xi's strategy for running a school. This is simply unprecedented and unprecedented. I admire you very much!"

"Last night, I was so excited that I stayed up all night, just thinking about coming to the school today, hoping that the drama master would allow me to enroll as a teacher. I will definitely try my best to teach the orphans of the fallen soldiers!"

Chen Deng's words immediately attracted Xi Yu's praise, "It's no wonder that Mr. Yuanlong is a member of the Chen family. He is truly benevolent, righteous and enlightened, and a hero in this world!!"

…

"What...is going on?"

"How about you, Chen Yuanlong?!"

"You go back on your word, you're a despicable person!"

"In my opinion, Chen Yuanlong might be an undercover agent sent by Xi Yu!"

Chen Deng's clever words made a group of nobles suddenly dumbfounded and filled with hatred in their hearts.

However, some people began to envy Chen Deng. After hearing what the opera master said, Chen Deng could become an official again?

traitor!

People in the gentry felt that Chen Deng was just acting, so they got the opportunity to become an official, and at the same time earned a good reputation for supporting the establishment of schools.

How despicable and shameless!

"Chen Yuanlong is really not a simple person..."

"With such deep scheming, this person will surely be in a high position."

"Haha, in order to please Mr. Xi, he would betray the entire Xuzhou noble clan. How can he not be in a high position with such scheming intentions!"

"I'm so angry! I'm really angry and uncomfortable. No, huh, I have to go to his house tonight to make a fuss, just to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

The group of scholars were so angry that no one expected that Chen Deng was actually an undercover agent sent by Xi Yu.

"I heard that Xi Yu has a far-reaching plan, but I didn't expect it to be so sinister!"

…

Seeing that Chen Deng had surrendered to Xi Yu, the gentry and Confucian scholars had no choice but to curse and leave the government office school. However, in order to relieve their hatred, they rushed to Chen Deng's home one after another.
