Chapter 1960 Xianbei Freezing Point, Jizhou Examination
When marching into the desert, the difficulty is not raising troops or foraging, but finding an opponent.
Therefore, after receiving the scout's report, Sima Yi immediately reported it to Zhao Yun and began to arrange a plan to attack Xianbei Bu Dugen. No one can guarantee whether Bu Dugen will change the position of the royal court again, so if he wants to attack, he must
ASAP.
When they heard that the Xianbei Royal Court was about to be attacked, almost all the generals and commanders under Zhao Yun had green eyes, like hungry wolves, and their whole bodies exuded murderous aura and hunger.
There are more than 10,000 people directly under Bu Dugen, 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 grassland will
Will be trampled to pieces and eaten away...
Therefore, according to the experience of the last raid on the Kirbineng Palace, the Xianbei people who fought directly were only about 5,000 at most, and the others were scattered around. With mental calculation or unintentional calculation, 3,000 cavalry could defeat the five Xianbei people.
Thousands of people. Of course, to be on the safe side, it would be safer to dispatch four or five thousand cavalry.
Of course, the worst situation is to fall into a tight siege by the Xianbei people, but for Zhao Yun, the so-called tight siege? Haha, it does not exist at all. After all, in history, Changbanpo can enter and exit seven times.
Especially now, most of Bu Dugen's troops think that they are in Xianbei and no one can find their location, so they will inevitably be a little careless, and they will not think that Sima Yi has been searching and keeping an eye on him very early on.
Hold them.
Just like playing chess, if you want to general, you always have to eat some soldiers first to move away or exchange chariots, horses and artillery. Attacking Bu Dugen's royal court is naturally the first battle to determine the Liaodong. If you don't kill the Xianbei first,
How can you make other people want to die?
Zhao Yun brought Gan Feng and some captains and generals with him. The non-commissioned officers and generals who were not selected suddenly felt as if they were owed tens of millions of money and wailed endlessly.
Zhao Yun ordered Gan Feng to lead two troops, about 1,500 people, as the front, and then he led the middle army, followed by Sima Yi, and headed towards the palace of Budugen.
Bu Dugen has been in a bad mood these past two days. Did he drink alone at night? Thinking about something on his mind? He lay down in a daze very late at night.
Gongsun Du's change? Bu Dugen was very angry, and roared again that even the Han people were unreliable. But Bu Dugen actually knew that, after all, it was because he did not have enough strength. If he could have the power of Xianbei King Mao Dun
Ordinary power? Do you still need to rely on others for everything now?
"Damn Kirby can..."
Bu Dugen transferred his hatred to Kebi Neng again, muttering. If Kebi could support him? Assist him? If Xianbei was not allowed to fall into division in the first place, how could there be the current situation? Because of a person.
Are the Han people terrified?
In the daze, I don't know when Bu Dugen fell asleep? But it seemed that he was being pushed again the next moment. When he woke up, his ears were filled with noisy sounds, horns, and shouts, as if
It felt like the sky was about to fall down, and then he felt the ground under his feet shaking violently. He became a little flustered and even became a little unsteady.
Bu Dugen opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but he felt that his temples on both sides were very swollen and painful, and his mouth was dry. He was dumb and couldn't say anything. He just pointed at his throat and said, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
…
The guard quickly gave Bu Dugen a few more sips of water, but Bu Dugen accidentally choked on his trachea again, causing him to cough, and his nose and tears flowed out.
Bu Dugen waved his hand with difficulty and asked, "What's going on?"
"Your Majesty! Han people! Han people's cavalry! Fight, they are coming! Let's, let's run away!"
Bu Dugen couldn't react for a moment, Han people? Why did Han people come here?
Seeing that Bu Dugen still looked dazed, several guards came forward and carried Bu Dugen out of the king's tent.
Bu Dugen just came out of the king's tent and saw the scene in front of him. His head suddenly buzzed and he could hardly believe his eyes. This was the most frightening scene in his heart. He always thought that he was scaring himself, but he didn't.
Thinking of this day being so bloody in front of him!
In the flickering firelight in the distance, Bu Dugen saw that the entire royal court area was already in chaos, with people running around everywhere, crying for their parents and running away in all directions. Some were naked, and some were wearing half of their clothes.
Leather armor, but most of them are just wrapped in a leather robe, and their weapons are incomplete. Some carry bows but are looking for arrows everywhere, some carry shields but no knives, and many people have not found any.
Weapon, with his hands empty, shouted heartbreakingly, panicked and terrified.
In the dark night, the Han cavalry skillfully formed an array like a huge iron cone. Carrying a deafening roar, with an overwhelming momentum, they roared crazily all the way, and fought their way in like a crushing force.
This time, Zhao Yun did not rush to the front line. He commanded from the center and watched as the Xianbei people lost 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 outline of a huge black shadow that was completely different from ordinary tents. He suddenly roared, pointed in the direction of King Bu Dugen's tent, ordered his troops to start turning, and headed toward the King with murderous intent.
Kill the tent!
Bu Dugen's face turned pale with fright. He didn't know why, and he couldn't use much strength on his legs. Although the sleepiness just now was gone, but facing the current situation, Bu Dugen didn't know what to do better. He went up to kill him.
? Do you want to resist? Or, run away before the Han people get here?
Bu Dugen was still hesitating, but his guards had already taken action. The guards held Bu Dugen up and ran to the side without hesitation. They encountered the dull-headed tribesmen who were bumping into each other like headless flies.
, there was no time to issue orders or stop him, he just slashed his head and cut a bloody path.
"Horse! Find a horse!"
All the Xianbei people are looking for horses. None of the war horses that originally belonged to Bu Dugen can be found...
One of the guards saw a centurion riding a horse passing by in a panic nearby. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and stabbed the centurion with a gun. The unlucky centurion fell down from his horse with a howl.
Several other guards roared and rushed forward, killing several Xianbei tribesmen who were trying to snatch the horses without opening their eyes in the chaos, and protected the horses.
The other two guards carrying Bu Dugen rushed over and pushed and lifted him onto the horse.
"Your Majesty! The Han people are coming from the right, go to King Zuo Xian quickly!" The guard pointed in the direction of the Han cavalry and shouted while putting the horse's reins in Bu Dugen's hands.
Before Bu Dugen could react, the guard slashed the horse's butt with a knife. The horse neighed in pain, jumped up with all his strength, and ran away wildly.
In the dark night, the Han army's offensive formation was unstoppable. It was like a huge black hurricane, sweeping through the royal court, getting faster, crazier, and more bloody. Bu Dugen was in the king's tent.
The tribesmen nearby were powerless to stop them. They were like broken branches and leaves. Swept by the strong wind, they could not slow down the horses of the Han cavalry at all, and they fell apart in an instant.
Bu Dugen didn't know whether he was frightened or too frightened, or was under too much pressure in such a situation. He yelled nervously, waving the sword in his hand wildly, and blocked his horse.
The guys in front of him were chopped and fled in all directions. He wanted to escape, escape from this bloody place, and save his own life. He didn't dare to look back at all. When he crashed into the Xianbei King's tent with a huge roar, he
Fleeed into darkness.
It was too dark, the battlefield was too chaotic, and the Han army's attack was too fast, all of which resulted in an irreversible defeat for the Xianbei royal court. Bu Dugen tried to escape to the left wing to regroup, but in fact the Xianbei people had lost their fighting spirit and could not even resist.
No idea at all.
The Xianbei soldiers suffered heavy casualties under the fierce attack of the Han cavalry. The Xianbei people who luckily escaped into the darkness ran away without knowing the direction. They had only one thought in their minds, which was to stay away from the battlefield. In fact, they also meant staying away from death.
Later, the horns sounded one after another, but they fell on deaf ears.
So far, the two royal courts of Xianbei have been ravaged by Han cavalry. The reputation of the Xianbei people in the desert has also dropped to a freezing point. With the decline of Xianbei's reputation, the actual control of the desert has also declined, which immediately caused
There are more and more complex chain reactions...
……(●￣(?)￣●)……
Cao Cao was not aware of the changes taking place in northern Youzhou, and he was still working hard for Jizhou.
Obtaining Jizhou is only half the battle. Only by stabilizing Jizhou can we gain the capital to continue fighting with the hussar general Fei Qian.
For people in Jizhou, the first wave of "examinations" is undoubtedly a very important indicator. However, the first thing Cao Cao did after arriving in Yecheng was not to hold an "examination" immediately, but to go to Yuan Shao's tomb first.
Later generations had two opinions about Yuan Shao's tomb. In fact, both of them are correct, but they may not be correct either.
In later generations, the so-called Yuan Shao's tomb in Hebei may be the tomb of Yuan Shao's clothes, while Yuan Shao's body was transported back to Yuan Shao's hometown for burial.
Yuan Shao was from Nanyang. According to the customs of the Han Dynasty, funeral was a very important matter, and he would not hesitate to bankrupt his family and property for the funeral. Therefore, the Yuan family, the most noble family in the world, might 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, if Yuan Shao returned to his hometown thousands of miles with a coffin, even if Yuan Shao had magical powers, he would probably be stinky. Therefore, it is also possible that the tomb in Yuan Shao's hometown is a tomb, while in Hebei
is the true tomb.
But 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 had no time to hold a grand funeral ceremony. As a result, Yuan Shao's cemetery at this moment seemed a bit desolate. Even Cao Cao arrived at the scene.
, can’t help but feel a little angry.
When a person dies, his karma disappears.
Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were fighting to the death, before they fell out, Yuan Shao was once the man standing behind Cao Cao. When Cao Cao was helpless, he stretched out his hand to support Cao Cao's waist.
There is still only Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao looked up at the stone horse standing in front of Yuan Shao's tomb, then reached out to pat it, sighed, and then waved his hand to signal all the accompanying servants to step back...
Cao Cao stood in front of Yuan Shao's tombstone, took a pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and traced the engraved words on the tombstone, filling in the faded areas again, "Brother Benchu, you said you raised three sons."
, what's the use? You actually want me to help you draw this..."
"Brother Benchu, I originally thought about asking that guy Chen Kongzhang to read the proclamation again in front of your grave... Haha, then, after thinking about it, forget it..."
"Brother Benchu, Nanyang is not in my hands now. As for you, if you want to go back, you may have to wait a little longer..."
"Brother Benchu, I see that the craftsmanship of the stone horses and elephants in front of your tomb is...probably made by your most beloved third son, right? Look at it, what does it look like? Do you regret it after being under Jiuquan?
?』
"Brother Benchu, if it were me, I wouldn't want to build such a big tomb. What's this but a target? If the descendants live up to their expectations, it's fine. If they don't live up to their expectations, haha, I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep well..."
"Brother Benchu..."
Cao Cao rambled while tracing from top to bottom. As his body became more and more bent, his voice became lower and lower, and he was mumbling so much that he couldn't hear what he was talking about.
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 spread out.
After Cao Cao finished the last stroke, he threw away the pen and cinnabar, stretched out his hand, and patted Yuan Shao's tombstone, just like patting a person on the shoulder.
"Brother Benchu, I have wanted to ask you to bend down and let me pat you for a long time..."
Yuan Shao was originally taller than Cao Cao, so it was Yuan Shao who patted Cao Cao on the shoulder before.
Cao Cao closed his eyes and felt no warmth in his palms, only coldness and hardness.
"Alas..." Cao Cao withdrew his hand, took two steps back, went to the stone table, lit incense, bowed slightly, and inserted it into the incense burner in front of the tomb, then took two steps back and stood with his hands folded.
.
The wind howled all around and blew the treetops.
After a long time, Cao Cao slowly turned around and left. He never looked at Yuan Shao's tomb again, leaving only a few words that were mixed in the wind.
"Brother Benchu, see you later..."
……_(:з ∠)_……
The dead must let go no matter how hard they were alive, and the living must carry it on no matter how much they want to let go.
Cao Cao understands the purpose of the "examination system" proposed by Xun Yu and Chen Qun, and also knows the profound meaning contained in it. After all, Cao Cao has appointed a large number of people from poor families and common people in the past period of time. This is undoubtedly a good thing for aristocratic families.
It is a kind of damage to the general surname. At the same time, Cao Cao cannot go to the extreme like General Fei Qian of the Cavalry, and he does not have the foundation and conditions of the General of the Cavalry. After all, under Cao Cao, Jizhou and Yuzhou are prefectures and counties with dense gentry.
.
Therefore, the adoption of a more moderate "examination system" naturally became the product of Xun Yu and Chen Qun's efforts to reconcile the contradictions.
Historically, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system inherited the imperial examination system of the Han Dynasty and the imperial examination system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was to reduce the shortcomings of the imperial examination system of the Han Dynasty and to respond to the new social situation by trying to return the power of recommendation to the imperial court. Talents were also divided into nine categories.
The clear assessment of quality is also a big improvement in the system. As for the clan, it has been growing since the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is not Chen Changdi's own effort, relying on a nine-grade Zhongzheng system to support and create it.
, if only one policy can truly establish and stabilize the status of a class, future generations will not be in the primary stage of so-and-so for a long time.
Although Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Chen Qun and others did not have Fei Qian's later generations' thinking, they were aware of the various contradictions and problems caused by the solidification of classes since the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Cao had previously opened the door to the poor and common people, except for
In order to maintain the stability of the power of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, it also made many noble families who could not get meat and soup very dissatisfied. The "examination system" proposed by Xun Yu and Chen Qun was to maximize the
In order to expand the basis of Cao Cao's rule, he wanted to take the middle.
In fact, overall, the quality of personnel from the common people is indeed not as good as that from the aristocratic families.
Just like in later generations, no matter how poor the area is, there are still those who get the top prize, but if we look at it as a whole, among all the people who get the exam, there are always a few who come from poor mountainous areas. Wealthy people can provide better educational resources, and some
Better conditions for success, so the chance of cultivating future generations to become talents is naturally much higher than that of poor families who have nothing. Especially if you look at the capitalist countries of later generations, which vigorously advocate the obligation to be happy, without any burden for nine years
After education, how many civilians can break away from their original shackles and advance to a higher level?
Of course, if a bully shows up, there's no need to talk about it. Everything the bully says is right.
Cao Cao came to Yecheng this time for many reasons. In addition to stabilizing Jizhou, there was also a very important reason, which was that the strategic depth of Xu County in Yuzhou was too poor.
It can be seen from General Hussar's previous jump at the city gate that Cao Cao could not effectively resist whether he was taking Wuguan Road or coming out of Heluo. Even the Hussar troops could directly cross 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. The strategic defense is much better than that of Yuzhou, which has a vast plain.
If you want to be stable in Jizhou, you can't say that you don't need people from Jizhou at all, but how to use it, naturally it is Cao Cao who has the final say, not the township assessment. The original rural assessment recommendation system cannot be used.
.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a group of celebrities emerged from various places due to their struggles with relatives and eunuchs. They did not want to become officials. They seemed to be worldly masters, but in fact they did not dare to go there at all.
Being an official, because once you take office, it is equivalent to standing on the cusp of the storm...
Therefore, these guys pretend to be aloof on the surface, but directly influence the public opinion of scholars in the public. People who want to be officials often go to assassinate Qian Ye and ask for evaluation. If the evaluation is good, the states and counties will not dare not to submit it to them.
If you are recommended by the imperial court and the reviews are not good, you may never be able to serve as an official in your life.
This trend was even followed by Cao Cao back then, who had to go out of his way to seek comment from General Xu Shao and Xu Zi...
For Cao Cao, if he wants to stabilize Jizhou, he cannot let the so-called "hermit masters" in Jizhou talk nonsense and make arbitrary comments, thereby affecting the stability of the overall political situation. Therefore, the power of "examination and correction" must be held in
In your own hands.
This time, Cao Cao appointed Ding Chong as the official examiner in charge of Jizhou.
