With Feng's tireless efforts for decades, he succeeded in poaching the aristocratic family, at least half of which was destroyed.
The so-called farming and reading heirlooms of the aristocratic families, whether they were farming or reading, were all plundered and devoured by Feng and the Fu Kun he had trained.
Some Fukun were even transformed from the opponent's camp.
After all, as a disciple of the Immortal Sect, it is normal for Feng to know some summoning techniques, right?
The extremely evil summoner Feng Guiwang, ranked first on the blacklist of the wealthy family, came to Fufeng in person to threaten and induce the Dou family.
The declining Dou family, like the courtesan in a brothel who claims to be a prostitute but not a prostitute, is unable to resist the arrogant and domineering second generation. She can only say pitifully:
"Da Sima, I, the Dou family, can be considered a well-known family after all. Regardless of whether we are from the former Han Dynasty or the latter Han Dynasty, we have done a lot for the Han Dynasty, and there are even many people who have sacrificed their lives for the country."
"Now that we are asked to admit the barbarians outside the Great Wall, this will destroy our innocent reputation for hundreds of years."
Need more money!
"One textile workshop quota can be located in Jiuyuan."
When Feng Da Sima heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he raised a finger.
As long as they are willing to talk, Feng Dasima is mostly reasonable.
The head of the Dou clan was overjoyed and wanted to tweak it a little more.
Who would have expected that when he saw Mr. Feng’s half-smiling expression, his heart would be excited, and when his words came to his lips, they would become:
"Then, are the quotas at the Royal University still valid?"
"Zongzhang Dou also said that the Dou family contributed a lot to the country during the Han Dynasty. However, Emperor Huanling favored the eunuchs, which caused the disaster of the party. The Dou family was also implicated for this."
When Feng Da Sima saw that the other party was so knowledgeable, a smile appeared on his face:
"If you want to revitalize the Han Dynasty, you must gather people with lofty ideals from all over the world and work together. The Dou family of Kuang Fufeng is full of loyal people, which is admirable."
He slowed down his speaking speed, but his tone became more intense, "If a member of the clan is interested in following the example of the ancestors of the Dou family and serving the country, I would welcome him, so how could he refuse?"
Now Ji Han's talent selection is based on the imperial examination system and the inspection system in parallel.
Although the imperial examination system must be the main trend in the future.
But it cannot be denied that the overall quality of children from aristocratic families is still much higher than that of students from poor families.
This is still under the condition of attaching great importance to the investigation of objects and increasing the weight of arithmetic.
Until this gap is narrowed to an acceptable level, the inspection system will still be an important talent selection mechanism.
Of course, it is not that simple for children of aristocratic families to turn their advantages into advantages in their career.
Simply sending people to villages and counties to intern and gain practical experience is enough to persuade a group of people to quit.
Not to mention that most internship places have some kind of testing nature.
For example, if the Dou family's children go well this time, their future internship will most likely be to go to Hebei to fight against local tycoons and divide their fields.
You said you don't want to do it?
That is because he has ideological problems and is unwilling to contribute his own strength to the revival of the Han Dynasty.
How could a person with unqualified ideological consciousness be qualified to become a member of the Han bureaucracy?
To put it bluntly, it is to submit a certificate of name.
Students from Liangzhou, Shu and even Guanzhong were helping to implement the new policies in Bingzhou Hedong.
And many of those students were from well-established families.
After all, what does the life and death of the Kanto clan have to do with the children of Kansai?
When we first conquered the world, we called ourselves brothers, and we agreed to eat meat and drink soup together.
Who knew that Kanto was not a son of a man, and after taking control of the government, he did not regard Kansai as a human being.
They should discuss openly in the court hall to abandon Liangzhou and let Liangzhou fall into the hands of the barbarians.
For this reason, they even did not hesitate to forcibly drive away Liangzhou officials and people, destroying houses and fields.
If the people of Liangzhou had not fought hard on their own, Liangzhou would have long ago become a land of barbarians.
Didn't you expect that?
As things turn, you too will have today!
Don't talk about being angry at the same time, and don't talk about being sad when a rabbit dies and a fox is killed. I just want to sell wool.
This time, I am going to kill you guys from Guandong!
As for the people of Bashu, their thoughts are even simpler.
What is said about the merits of following the dragon, but who knows, but I ended up feeling lonely.
Seeing the Liangzhou guys selling wool at such a high price, it almost hit me.
If it's a little later, the general trend of the world has been decided. If you don't show your loyalty, there will be no chance. Who will be replaced?
Moreover, if you kill those Guandong guys, you will have one less competitor in the future, so why not?
When it comes to Bingzhou and Hedong, it's half push and half give.
As a part of Guandong, we originally supported the Wei Dynasty, but the Wei Dynasty failed to live up to its expectations.
The big man's stick was very thick, and it was extremely painful when it hit him.
However, Dahan’s dates are also very sweet, and you will feel sweet to your heart when you eat them.
So in order to be able to grow cotton in the east in the future, the big families in Shandong had better die early!
It’s not like no one saw this divisive plan to drive away wolves and tigers. The early Shu families and the Shangdang wealthy families in the early years all tried to resist.
It's just that the result is a little not so good.
Someone went to Wenshan County, Hanjia County, and played hide-and-seek with Shengman.
Some people went to Jiuyuan, a frontier fortress, and other places to ask Hu Yi how to herd cattle.
Fufeng Dou didn't want to hide and seek, nor did he want to herd. He just wanted to have people help him herd, so he sent people to follow General Zhendong to the outside of the Great Wall.
——
In the last month of the ninth year of Yanxi's reign, Zhennan general Jiang Wei led his army northward and surrounded Wen County. However, he failed to conquer it. He then moved around to collect the people around Wen County and moved to Luoyang.
Jiang Ji saw that the Han army was spreading troops everywhere to plunder the people, so he wanted to attack them.
As a result, a conflict broke out between the two sides fifteen miles north of Wen County.
It is called a conflict because the scale of the battle is not large.
This conflict ended with a minor defeat for the Wei army, with the loss of more than 300 men.
Winning the fight would have been a good thing, but Jiang Wei didn't have much joy on his face.
He sighed and said to his partner Liu Yin:
"I wanted to lure the thief here, but I didn't expect the thief to come, but he was so cautious."
Liu Yin originally stayed in Luoyang to prevent the Wei army from Xuchang from making any movements.
It's just that in this cold weather, the old dog will almost freeze to death.
Not to mention the Wei army, not even the Han army could attack the city.
They say they are staying behind, but in fact they are just taking precautions.
When Jiang Wei moved around to resettle the people in Hanoi, Liu Yin rushed over immediately after arranging matters in Luoyang.
He came here not to fight or attack the city, but to cooperate with Jiang Wei in taking over the people.
Hearing Jiang Wei's sigh, Liu Yin couldn't help but smile:
"Why is Bo Yue so greedy? He crossed the river to the north, surrounded Wen County, collected more than 3,000 people, and defeated the thieves. It was enough to send good news to Chang'an."
"Such a small achievement is meaningless." Jiang Wei said, but his eyes were looking in the direction of Wen County, "Only if we can capture Wen County can it be considered a great achievement."
Liu Yin was shocked when he heard this, and quickly advised:
"Boyo, don't act rashly. Attacking the city in winter is a big taboo. The casualties of soldiers are unpredictable."
Hearing this, Jiang Wei looked away from Wen County with some reluctance, and turned to Liu Yin and said:
"Xiuren, how can I be so ignorant of the importance? What I just said was just out of reluctance."
Liu Yin then breathed a sigh of relief, "Bo Yue scared me, but I told you that you wanted to attack Wen County."
He couldn't guarantee that his old partner knew the severity, but he was definitely a bold risk-taker.
After thinking about this, he couldn't help but talk too much and reminded:
"Boyue, in half a month at most, the river may begin to thaw. Don't be greedy for credit then. You must be careful to return to Luoyang in time."
Jiang Wei looked up at the sky and sighed again:
"God is not kind to us. This year it is not as cold as before."
I remember that in the winters of earlier years, there were often extremely cold weather, and the ice and snow would also be delayed to melt. It would not matter if it retreated a few days or even ten days later.
But this year is a normal year.
Liu Yin couldn't accept this.
For as long as he could remember, freezing to death in winter had become a common occurrence.
Wouldn't it be a good thing if winter is warmer?
Of course, whether winter is warmer or colder now has no great impact on the Han people.
Jiang Wei didn't know what Liu Yin was thinking. His eyes had turned to the north and his brows were furrowed.
The thieves seemed to be sure that they would not attack the city, or in other words, they were quite confident in Wen County.
Although he had attracted reinforcements as planned, the thieves' reinforcements were stationed in the north of Wen County and were not in a hurry to come to relieve Wen County.
It was obvious that the other party was waiting to see whether they would actually attack the city.
As long as you really attack the city, the other party will be waiting for the opportunity.
If he did not attack the city, the arrival of reinforcements would be enough to give the defenders in the city enough confidence to prevent them from surrendering without a fight.
The weather is not in your hands, and this situation is what Jiang Wei hates to see the most:
"Old thief Jiang is difficult to deal with..."
"The ginger thief is very insidious and difficult to deal with!"
At the same time, Jiang Ji, who was confronting Jiang Wei, expressed the same sigh.
Compared with Jiang Wei lamenting that this year's winter is not cold enough, Jiang Ji is praying for an early warmer weather so as to force the Han army to return to Luoyang quickly.
If we let them stay in Hanoi, who knows what else will happen.
It was such a cold day that the almost sixty-year-old man was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat and almost got his back soaked through.
Are all the young people of Han so evil?
Although he suffered a small defeat, Jiang Ji felt very happy in his heart.
On the surface, the Han army seemed to be plundering the people, but in fact, it was hiding an ambush elsewhere, waiting for them in front.
If I hadn't tested it carefully, I would have suffered a big loss.
"Tianshui Youlin, Tianshui Youlin..." Jiang Ji stroked his beard and subconsciously recited Jiang Wei's nickname, feeling quite a bit frightened.
"Sneaking across the Sangchou Plain, seizing Hangu Pass, and capturing Luoyang, this man should not be underestimated."
After mumbling for a while, he seemed to think of something again. His hands shook and he actually pulled out a few white beards.
"A Tianshui Youlin is so difficult to deal with, but Han still has Hedong Yihu and three thousand cavalry..."
At this thought, Jiang Ji's face turned pale and his body swayed.
And above them, there is Feng, who is far-sighted and ruthless.
What's even more frightening is that these people are all in their prime.
On the other hand, in the Wei Dynasty, both the leaders and those in power were all elderly.
The only younger general is an incompetent person who can only bring trouble to Chao Gang.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ji's body seemed to be overwhelmed and became a little rickety.
Looking toward the southeast with a tired expression, Jiang Ji murmured:
Cao Zhaobo, Cao Zhaobo, this time is related to the survival of the Wei Dynasty. You must not be so foolish as to abandon the official position for selfish reasons.
Otherwise, the Wei Dynasty will probably perish!——
Although the winter in Qiao County is not as cold as Hanoi, on the coldest days, the earth is still covered silently by ice and snow.
In this season when no one wants to go out, you can even hear the occasional snow falling from the roof on the street.
But there was one figure that stood out particularly abruptly.
Sima Zhao knelt on the cold snow, with his hands struggling to support his thighs. His fingers were red from the cold, as if he might lose consciousness at any time.
His face was full of pleading and despair, and there was deep sorrow between his brows.
His eyes were fixed on the solemn mansion in front of him, with a faint light shining in his eyes, full of prayer and expectation, as if it was the only hope in his heart.
His lips were turned purple from the cold, but they were still trembling with difficulty as he shouted hoarsely:
"General, please send troops to save Hebei!"
"The army of thieves is pressing down on the territory. Thief Feng personally leads the invasion. Hebei is in critical danger!"
…
The voice echoed in the deserted street, looking so pale and weak in the wind and snow, but his throat was so hoarse that he was still unwilling to give up, as if to tell the world his determination and perseverance.
It was the end of the year, and the general canceled the last few court gatherings at the end of the year in the name that the emperor was young and the cold weather should not cause too much trouble.
Sima Zhao, who originally planned to come to Qiao County to cry court, did not even have a chance to see the emperor.
In desperation, he could only send the invitation to the general's mansion.
It's just a rift between Taifu Sima and the general. Who doesn't know about it?
Therefore, Sima Zhao's greeting invitation was naturally like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing any ripples.
Sima Zhao stayed in front of the General's Mansion for several days, but was not received by Cao Shuang. In desperation, he had no choice but to kneel in front of the General's Mansion in this humiliating way to ask for an audience.
"Zi Shang, Zi Shang, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"
Just as an unknown number of people were secretly watching this wonderful show, a group of cars suddenly appeared from the side. Before the cars stopped, someone got out of the car.
But seeing this man rushing over regardless of the slippery snow, he wanted to help Sima Zhao up personally:
"Why are you like this? Get up quickly!"
Who would have expected that when he pulled him, he didn't know whether it was because Sima Zhao had been kneeling for too long and his body was stiff, or because Sima Zhao was unwilling to get up, so he didn't pull.
"It's Zhaosu," Sima Zhao raised his head stiffly, saw the person clearly, and said with a wry smile:
"Zhaosu, I am here this time on your orders to ask the general to send troops to save Hebei."
"If I can't fulfill your orders, how can I face you in front of you? I might as well freeze to death here."
The person called Zhaosu was Cao Xi, the brother of General Cao. When he heard Sima Zhao's words, he was shocked and said:
"Why did your Majesty say this? Did he say that he froze to death for interceding for state affairs? You get up first, follow me into the mansion, and go with me to beg the general."
Hearing this, Sima Zhao followed Cao Xi's arm and stood up.
After he stood up straight, his body still swayed. It was obvious that he had been kneeling for too long and his legs were numb and weak.
"Make Zhaosu laugh."
Sima Zhao held Cao Xi's hand and whispered.
Cao Xi shook his head, looked at Sima Zhao's miserable appearance, and said apologetically:
"If it's a joke, it's up to me to say it. I came back too late. Please follow me first."
After saying that, he led him towards the General's Mansion.
"Mr. Lang..."
The concierge of the General's Mansion shouted.
Facing the concierge, Cao Xike did not have such a good temper and shouted angrily:
"Go away!"
After Cao Shuang took sole control of the government, he appointed his second brother Cao Xi to be the leader of the central army. He also abolished the middle camp of the five battalions of the Forbidden Army and appointed the captains of the two battalions as commanders. The soldiers of the two battalions were placed under the direct command of Cao Xi.
In addition, Cao Xun was appointed as the general of the military guard, commanding the military guard camp of the imperial army, and Cao Yan was appointed as the regular attendant of the scattered cavalry. The Cao brothers then completely controlled the imperial army of the capital.
Among so many brothers, only Cao Xi had some knowledge.
He repeatedly advised Cao Shuang not to act too arbitrarily, but unfortunately Cao Shuang did not accept it.
At this time, seeing Sima Zhao being humiliated in front of the general's palace, Cao Xi was already filled with fire:
How unwise my brother is!
This move seemed to humiliate the Sima family, but in fact it made people think that his brother, as a general, was a man who neglected public affairs for personal reasons and was looked down upon for nothing.
This time, even if he was trying to be scolded by his brother, he still wanted to understand how his brother could do such a stupid thing.
