Chapter 1959 Xianbei Freezing Point, Jizhou Examination


    Marching into the desert, the difficulty is not raising troops or food, but finding an opponent.


    So after receiving the report from the scouts, Sima Yi immediately reported to Zhao Yun, and began to arrange a plan to attack Xianbei Budugen. No one can guarantee whether Bu Dugen will change the position of Wang Ting again, so if you want to fight, you must do it as soon as possible.


    Hearing that the court of Xianbei was going to be attacked, almost all the generals under Zhao Yun had green eyes, like hungry wolves, exuding murderous aura and hunger all over their bodies.


    There are more than ten thousand people directly under Budugen, but when they are stationed, they are not gathered in one place, but scattered around. After all, if so many people are gathered together, even the best pastures will be difficult. Will be trampled flat...


    Therefore, according to the experience of the last raid on Kebineng''s court, the Xianbei people who fought directly were at most about 5,000 people, and the others were scattered around. With mental calculations and unintentional, 3,000 cavalry can defeat Xianbei''s five soldiers. Thousands of people. Of course, in order to be on the safe side, it would be safer to dispatch 4,000 or 5,000 cavalry.


    Of course, the bad situation is being surrounded by Xianbei people, but for Zhao Yun, the so-called tight siege? Hehe, it doesn''t exist at all. After all, Changbanpo can enter and exit seven times in history.


    Especially now Budugen''s troops, most of them think that they are in Xianbei territory, and no one can find out their location, so they will inevitably be a little negligent, and they will not think that Sima Yi has been looking for them very early. watching them.


    Just like playing chess, if you want to make a general, you always have to eat some soldiers to transfer them or exchange them for chariots and cannons. Attacking Budugen''s royal court is naturally a pre-war for Dingding Liaodong. How can you make other people want to die when you want to be immortal?


    Zhao Yun brought Gan Feng and some lieutenants and military officers, but the non-commissioned officers and generals who were not selected suddenly wailed as if they were owed tens of millions of money.


    Zhao Yun ordered Gan Feng to lead two troops, about 1,500 people as the front, and then lead the central army himself, followed by Sima Yi, and headed for the palace of Budugen.


    Budugen has been in a bad mood for the past two days. He drank alone at night, thinking about his own thoughts, and lay down groggy very late.


    Gongsun Du''s change made Bu Dugen very angry, and once again yelled that the Han people were unreliable, but Bu Dugen actually knew that the root cause was that he did not have enough strength. With the strength of Huaihuai, do you still need to rely on others'' breath for everything now?


    『Damn Kirby can…』


    Budugen transferred his hatred to Kirbineng again, muttering. If Kirby can support him and assist him, and don''t let Xianbei fall into division in the first place, how can the current situation be frightened because of a Han Chinese?


    In a daze, I don''t know when Budugen fell asleep, but it seemed that he was pushed by someone again the next moment, and when he woke up, there were noisy sounds in his ears, the sound of horns, and the sound of shouting, as if It seemed as if the sky was about to fall down, and then he felt the ground under his feet shaking violently, and he became a little flustered, and even a little unsteady.


    Budugen opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but he felt that his temples on both sides were swollen and painful, his mouth was dry, and his voice was hoarse, unable to say anything, he just pointed to his throat and said "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" …


    The guard quickly poured a few more sips of water on Budugen, and then Budugen accidentally choked the trachea again, which caused a cough, and even flowed out with snot and tears.


    Budugen waved his hand with difficulty and asked, "What''s going on?" 』


    『King! Chinese! Chinese cavalry! Hit, hit! Us, let''s run away! 』


    Bu Dugen couldn''t react for a while, Han? Why do Han people come here?


    Seeing that Budugen was still in a daze, a few guards stepped forward and carried Budugen out of the king''s tent.


    Budugen had just left the king''s tent, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his head buzzed suddenly, and he couldn''t believe his eyes. This was the most frightening scene in his heart. He always thought that he was scaring himself, but he didn''t expect that this naive **** scene would appear in front of him!


    In the flickering flames in the distance, Bu Dugen saw that the entire royal court area was already in chaos. There were people running wild everywhere, and those crying for their fathers and mothers were running around, some were naked, some were wearing half-clothed leather armor, but most of them are just wrapped in a leather robe, and their weapons are not complete. Some are carrying bows but looking for arrows everywhere, some are holding shields but have no knives, and many people have not found any weapons. Bingren, with his hands empty, screamed heart-piercingly, panicked and terrified.


    In the dark night, the Han Chinese cavalry skillfully formed an array like a huge iron cone, carrying a deafening roar, roaring crazily all the way with overwhelming momentum, and rushed in like a crushing one.


    This time, Zhao Yun did not rush to the front line. He commanded in the center, watching the Xianbei people lose their sense of direction, their ability to resist, and even their will to fight under the impact of the forwards led by Gan Feng.


    In the faint light, Zhao Yun still saw the huge silhouette of a black shadow that was completely different from ordinary tents. With a whistling sound, he pointed in the direction of the Budugen king''s tent, ordered his troops to turn around, and rushed towards the king with murderous intent. Kill the account!


    Budugen''s face was pale with fright, his legs didn''t know why, and he didn''t need much strength. Although the sleepiness just now was gone, but facing the current situation, Budugen didn''t know what to do better. ? Want to resist? Or, run away before the Han people get here?


    Budugen is still hesitating, but his guards have already acted. A few guards didn''t care about anything, they rushed to the side with Budugen on their backs, and when they ran into the clansmen who were frowning like headless flies, they didn''t have time to issue orders and stop them, so they just slashed at the head and cut them open. A **** path.


    "horse! Find a horse! 』


    All the Xianbei people are looking for horses, and the few war horses that belonged to Budugen, can''t find any now...


    A guard saw a centurion passing by on a horse in a panic, so without saying a word, he raised his hand and shot him. The unfortunate centurion fell off the horse with a howl. Several other guards roared and rushed up, hacked and killed several Xianbei tribesmen who were blindfolded and wanted to **** the horse in the chaos, and protected the horse.


    The other two guards carrying Budugen rushed over and pushed him onto the horse.


    『King! The Han people come from the right, hurry to where the Zuo Xianwang is! Pointing in the direction of the Han cavalry, the guard put the reins of the horse in Budugen''s hands and roared.


    Before Bu Dugen could react, the guard slashed the horse''s **** with a knife. The horse hissed in pain, jumped up with all his strength, and rushed all the way.


    In the dark night, the attack of the Han army was unstoppable, like a huge black hurricane, sweeping through the royal court, getting faster, crazier, and bloodier. Bu Dugen''s clansmen near the king''s tent were powerless to stop them, like broken branches and fallen leaves. Under the gust of wind, they could not slow down the horseshoes of the Han cavalry at all, and they fell apart in a blink of an eye.


    Budugen didn''t know whether he was frightened too much, or he was under too much pressure under such a situation. He shouted nervously, waving the saber in his hand frantically, and blocked his horse. The guy in front of him was cut and fled in all directions. He wanted to escape, to escape from this **** place, to save his own life, he didn''t dare to look back at all, and when the huge roar crashed into the Xianbei king''s tent, he fled into the darkness.


    The sky was too dark, the battlefield was too chaotic, and the attack speed of the Han army was too fast, all of which caused the irreparable defeat of the Xianbei royal court. Budugen tried to flee to the left wing to regroup, but in fact the Xianbei people had lost their fighting spirit, and they didn''t even have any idea of ??resistance.


    The Xianbei soldiers suffered heavy casualties under the fierce attack of the Han army''s iron cavalry. The Xianbei people who escaped into the darkness did not know the direction and ran all the way. There was only one thought in their minds, that is, to stay away from the battlefield. Afterwards, the sound of horns and horns sounded one after another, but they also fell on deaf ears.


    So far, the two royal courts of Xianbei have been ravaged by the Han cavalry, and the reputation of Xianbei people in the desert has also dropped to freezing point. With the decline of Xianbei''s reputation, the actual control over the desert has also declined, which immediately caused More and more complicated chain reactions...


    …(●￣()￣●)…


    Cao Cao is not aware of the changes that are taking place in the northern part of Youzhou. He is still working hard for Jizhou.


    Obtaining Jizhou was only half the battle, and Jizhou had to be stabilized to obtain the capital to continue arm wrestling with Hussar General Fei Qian.


    For people in Jizhou, the first wave of "exams" is undoubtedly a very important weathervane, but the first thing Cao Cao did after arriving in Yecheng was not to hold "examinations" immediately, but to go to Yuan Shao''s tomb first.


    Later generations have two opinions about Yuan Shao''s tomb, both of which are actually correct, but they may also be incorrect.


    The so-called Yuan Shao’s tomb in Hebei in later generations may be the tomb of Yuan Shao’s clothes, and Yuan Shao’s body was transported back to Yuan Shao’s hometown for burial.


    Yuan Shao is from Nanyang. As a custom in the Han Dynasty, funeral is a very important thing, and one can even go bankrupt for the funeral. Therefore, the Yuan family of the crown family in the world may casually find a place to bury Yuan Shao in Jizhou , and then prevent Yuan Shao from returning to his hometown, and become a lonely ghost?


    Of course, it may be the other way around. After all, according to the conditions of the Han Dynasty, even if Yuan Shao had supernatural powers to return to his hometown after holding the coffin for thousands of miles, it would probably stink. It is the tomb of the real body.


    But right now, Yuan Shao''s tomb is still near Yecheng.


    After Yuan Shao''s death, the three brothers of the Yuan family were not very concerned about Yuan Shao''s funeral in order to compete for Yuan''s inheritance, and they did not have time to hold a grand funeral ceremony, so that at this moment, Yuan Shao''s cemetery looked a bit bleak, even Cao Cao came to the scene , I can''t help but get a little angry.


    When a person dies, karma disappears.


    Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also beat their lives to death, but before the two of them turned their faces, Yuan Shao used to be the man standing behind Cao Cao. When Cao Cao was helpless, he stretched out his hand to support Cao Cao''s waist. Still only Yuan Shao.


    Cao Cao looked up at the stone horse standing in front of Yuan Shao''s tomb, then stretched out his hand to pat it, sighed, and then waved his hand to signal the accompanying servants to step back...


    Cao Cao stood in front of Yuan Shao''s tombstone, took a pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and filled in the engraved text on the tombstone, filling in some faded places, "Brother Benchu, you said you raised three sons." , what is the use? You still want me to help you describe this…”


    『Brother Benchu, I originally thought that I would call that guy Chen Kongzhang to read the proclamation again in front of your grave... Hehe, later, after thinking about it, forget it...』


    『Brother Benchu, Nanyang, it’s not in my hands now, what about you, if you want to go back, you may have to wait...』


    『Brother Benchu, I see the stone horse and elephant in front of your tomb. This handicraft is... probably built by your most beloved third son, right? Look, what do they look like? Are you under the Nine Springs, do you regret it? 』


    『Brother Benchu, if it were me, I wouldn’t want to build such a big tomb. Isn’t this a target? If the children and grandchildren are up to date, it’s okay, if not, hehe, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep well...』


    『Brother Benchu...』


    Cao Cao babbled while tracing from top to bottom. As his body bent more and more, his voice became lower and lower, and he couldn''t hear what he was saying clearly.


    On the stone table in front of Yuan Shao''s tomb, between the three animals, a drop of water suddenly fell on it, and then blurred.


    Cao Cao finished the last stroke, threw away the pen and cinnabar, stretched out his hand, and patted Yuan Shao''s tombstone, as if patting someone''s shoulder.


    『Brother Benchu, I wanted to ask you to bend down a long time ago, let me take a pat...』


    Yuan Shao was originally taller than Cao Cao, so Yuan Shao was the one who patted Cao Cao on the shoulder before.


    Cao Cao closed his eyes, he couldn''t feel any temperature in his palm, only cold and hard.


    『Ah...』Cao Cao withdrew his hand, took two steps back, reached in front of the stone table, lit the incense, then bowed slightly, put it in the incense burner in front of the tomb, then took two steps back, and stood with his hands together.


    The wind howled all around, blowing the treetops.


    After a long time, Cao Cao turned around and left slowly. He never looked at Yuan Shao''s tomb again, but left a sentence that was mixed in the wind.


    『Brother Benchu, there will be a date later...』


    …_(:з」∠)_…


    The dead, no matter how much they couldn’t let go, they still have to let go, and the living, no matter how much they want to let go, they still have to bear it.


    Cao Cao understands what Xun Yu and Chen Qun''s "examination system" is for, and he also knows the deep meaning contained in it. After all, Cao Cao has hired a lot of poor and common people in the past period of time. A kind of damage to the surname. At the same time, Cao Cao can''t go to the extreme like the Hussar General Fei Qian, and he doesn''t have the foundation and conditions of the Hussar General. After all, under Cao Cao, Jizhou and Yuzhou belong to the states and counties with dense gentry .


    Therefore, adopting a more moderate "examination system" naturally became the product of Xun Yu and Chen Qun''s efforts to reconcile contradictions.


    Historically, the Jiupin Zhongzheng System inherited the imperial examination system of the Han Dynasty and the imperial examination system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In addition, the division of talents into nine grades and clear evaluation are also a great improvement in the system. As for the aristocrats, that thing has been growing since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Chen Changwen did not rely on his own strength to promote it. If it is really made by a single policy, it can create a stable one. The status of class, future generations will not be in the so-and-so primary stage for a long time.


    Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Chen Qun and others, although they do not have Fei Qian’s later thinking, they are also aware of various contradictions and problems caused by the solidification of classes since the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Cao opened the door of convenience to the poor and common people before, not only to maintain the stability of the power of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, but also made many noble families who could not get meat and soup very dissatisfied. Xun Yu and Chen The "examination and correction system" proposed by Qun is to expand the foundation of Cao Cao''s rule to the greatest extent, and wants to take the middle.


    In fact, on the whole, the quality of the personnel of the common people is actually not as good as that of the family members.


    It’s like no matter how impoverished the area is in later generations, there are still some people who are admitted to the first prize, but if you look at it as a whole, among all the people who won the exam, there are always a small number of people from poor mountainous areas. Wealthy families can provide better educational resources and have better conditions for success, so the chances of cultivating younger generations to become talents are naturally much higher than those of poor families who have nothing. Especially look at the capitalist countries of later generations. After vigorously advocating the obligation of happiness and nine years of education without any burden, how many civilians can break away from the original shackles and be promoted to a higher level?


    Of course, if there is a gangster, then there is no need to talk about it, what the gangster said is right.


    Cao Cao came to Yecheng this time with many considerations. In addition to stabilizing Jizhou, there is another very important reason, that is, the strategic depth of Xu County in Yuzhou is too poor.


    It can be seen from General Hussars'' previous jumping horse city that whether it is taking Wuguan Road or going out from Heluo, it is difficult for Cao Cao to resist effectively. Even Hussars can pass directly across the city and go straight to Yuzhou, so There is Youzhou in the north, Hanoi in the south, and Jizhou in Zhongmu in the west. In terms of strategic defense, it is much better than Yuzhou in Yimapingchuan.


    And if you want to be stable in Jizhou, you can''t say that you don''t need Jizhou people at all, but how to use it is naturally up to Cao Cao to decide, not the township evaluation. The original rural evaluation and recommendation system cannot be used. up.


    In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, relying on the struggle with foreign relatives and eunuchs, a group of famous scholars emerged from all over the country. They did not want to be officials but became officials. They seemed to be a pair of outsiders, but in fact they dared not go Being an official, because once you take office, it is equivalent to standing on the cusp of the storm...


    So these guys, pretending to be detached on the surface, directly affect the public opinion of scholars in the field. Those who want to be officials often go to the assassination and ask for comments. If the comments are good, the state and county dare not refuse If the imperial court recommends an election, if the comments are not good, I am afraid that there will be no possibility of becoming an official for life.


    This trend, even Cao Cao back then, was not exempt from the custom, so he had to go to Xu Shao and Xu Zijiang to discuss comments...


    For Cao Cao, in order to stabilize Jizhou, the so-called "hermits" in Jizhou should not be allowed to talk nonsense and make comments on Yuedan, which will affect the stability of the overall political situation. Therefore, the power of "examination" must be held in in their own hands.


    This time, Cao Cao appointed Ding Chong as the examiner in charge of Jizhou.
