Xu Yue handed the prizes belonging to the winner's red team to Sima Yi and Yuan Song and asked them to award them to the winners.
A team of twenty-five people each received a ceramic cup, a pair of white sneakers, and a collective certificate.
Sun Shangxiang and other students received the prizes and were so happy when they saw "First Place in Dragon Boat Competition" written on the cups that they wanted to kiss them twice.
In this era when supplies are not abundant, these two small objects are already great prizes.
The students in other teams were so greedy that they almost cried.
I secretly vowed to practice dragon boating hard next year and win the first place!
Amid people's rising enthusiasm, the first Dragon Boat Race ended successfully.
Xu Yue stood up and was about to leave when she suddenly caught sight of Sun Shangxiang holding the prize she won from the corner of her eye and running towards a young man wearing a thin Confucian shirt.
"Teacher Yuan, this is for you."
The youthful girl boldly put the ceramic cup into the young man's hand, turned around and ran away.
Halfway through the run, he looked back at the young man shyly, and then left with a bright smile under the joking eyes of his companions.
The young man in Confucian shirt named Teacher Yuan held the cup and stood there blankly.
After a long time, a red cloud appeared on his handsome face, and he seemed to realize it. He raised his cup and wanted to call the girl.
Unfortunately, the students have already gone away.
He had no choice but to take his hand back, and amidst the jokes from his companions, he seemed to be running away with the cup in his arms.
Xu Yue witnessed the whole process and raised her eyebrows in surprise.
If she remembered correctly, the young man in Confucian shirt was the second son of the Yuan family.
"How old is he?" Xu Yue turned around and asked Yuan Song, who was following behind and flattering him.
I have to say that human ears are so wonderful. When you hear good words, even if you know they are false, your mood will still become wonderful involuntarily.
Yuan Song was also stunned by the scene just now. When he heard the leader's question, he came back to his senses and answered with a smile:
"Second Young Master will be twenty-two this year."
Xu Yue did the math in her mind, "The age difference between the two of them is seven years, so it's not too exaggerated."
Yuan Song's eyes dimmed when he heard this. What does the leader mean?
Did she agree to the marriage?
Xu Yue glanced at Yuan Song speechlessly. She didn't even have a single horoscope. Don't think too much.
"Let's go, Mr. Sima, didn't you say there is news in Liangzhou?" Xu Yue motioned to Yuan Song to stop looking, and the group walked quickly towards the county government office.
At the beginning of the year, the next month after Xiliang joined the Xu family army, Xu Yue appointed his brother Xu Dalang and Zhuge, one as the commander and the other as the military advisor, and led 20,000 troops to Xiliang to recapture the Hexi Corridor.
It's already May, and after the troops were sent out for March, some good news should come back.
Facts have proved that Xu Jiajun is very lucky this year.
The armistice agreement was signed with the Cao family on the front foot, and good news came back from Liangzhou on the back foot.
The Hexi Corridor was recaptured!
It is said that three months ago, Xu Dalang and Zhuge Liang led 20,000 cavalry into Liangzhou. After understanding the details of the local situation, the two quickly formulated a blitzkrieg strategy.
In mid-March, Xu Dalang personally led three thousand light cavalry from the central road into the Hexi Corridor.
Ma Chao led five thousand troops down the road, forming a defensive position with the central army, and was responsible for intercepting it.
Zhuge Liang led the remaining 10,000 troops to outflank the Xiongnu from the upper road to prevent the Xiongnu from asking for help from the east.
The three groups of troops set off at the same time, and with the help of a compass and a twenty-fold enchanted water bag, they caught the Huns off guard.
In particular, the middle route army led by Xu Dalang attacked the Huns' tent all the way, killing the Huns until they cried for father and mother.
Later, they were intercepted by Ma Chao on the bottom road, and all the remaining soldiers were trapped and died in the desert.
Zhuge Liang, who led the largest number of troops, had no chance to confront the enemy head-on.
Because the Huns who had just escaped from the Central Army were so frightened that they turned around and ran away when they saw the Xu Jiajun's flag fluttering in the wind.
When the Huns ran away, Zhuge Liang led his troops to pursue them. He chased the Huns until they collapsed, and finally shot all the Huns to death in the valley with flying arrows.
The sophisticated equipment of the Xu Jiajun also became famous in this battle, which frightened the Huns and fled from Monan to Mobei. Finally, they were forced to move to the Western Regions, and the pursuit of the Xu Jiajun stopped.
In order to prevent the Huns from coming back, Zhuge Liang put forward the proposal to rebuild the Silk Road.
This coincides with Xu Yue's thoughts.
As soon as she received the news from Liangzhou, Xu Yue had someone take the five-year reconstruction plan she had prepared and give it to Zhuge Liang.
And he will be fully responsible for the reconstruction.
Faced with his lord's trust, Zhuge Liang was so moved that he wrote a 30,000-word review of the "Five-Year Reconstruction Plan" overnight and sent it to the leader.
"What a talent!" Xu Yue took this review and felt as if she had found a treasure.
Then, he took out the walkie-talkie and asked Zhuge Liang directly: "What are you missing? Tell me, I will give you my full support!"
Zhuge Liang is not polite either, he doesn't want anything else, he just wants people.
The Huns have been driven away, and there is so much vacated territory now. How can anyone defend it without anyone?
"Chief, as you said in the plan, the Hexi Corridor is a vast stretch of fertile land, and the soldiers can be completely self-sufficient."
"But soldiers are not enough. We must take root here deeply and have an endless supply of descendants. Only then can we prevent the Huns from coming back."
Hearing this, what kind of bicycle does Xu Yue want?
He asked domineeringly: "How many people are needed?"
Zhuge Liang replied: "Fifty thousand."
Xu Yue took in a breath of cold air. Fifty thousand is not a small amount.
But she will find a way to solve it.
"Wait for my news."
After leaving these words for Zhuge Liang, Xu Yue hung up the intercom and looked up at Sima Yi and Yuan Song standing in front of her.
"What do you think?"
Sima Yi picked up the tea cup and drank tea, as if thinking.
Xu Yue looked at Yuan Song.
Yuan Song suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen and hugged his abdomen with a look of pain on his face.
Xu Yue sneered and spoke before he could speak: "This move is no longer new, next one."
Yuan Song wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a flattering smile: "Why don't we gather the great Confucian students together and brainstorm, we can always come up with countermeasures."
Xu Yue nodded, "This sounds like a human saying."
Yuan Song showed a smile that was uglier than crying, cupped his fists and bowed to Sima Yi: "Mr. Sima, are we together?"
Unable to hide, Sima Yi had no choice but to put down his teacup, stand up, and go looking for someone with Yuan Song.
Don't blame him for not actively earning performance points. It's really that it's too difficult to earn performance points this time.
They don't have enough manpower themselves, so where can they find 50,000 people to send to Zhuge Liang?
But the leader has already agreed. As workers, what else can they do.
It is impossible to refuse rejection, you can only cheer up and deal with it seriously.
So, in the next three days, Sima Yi and Yuan Song used facts to prove to Xu Yue the authenticity of the proverb "three stooges are equal to Zhuge Liang".
Sima Yi said: "How about sending the reformed prisoners in the prison to Liangzhou?"
"We have calculated that there are currently 35,428 reformed prisoners in prisons in Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou."
