But the matter has come to this, Zhang Huaiyang has died in the battle, what else can be done?
Killed all nine other clans?
Emperor Jing Xing had always been kind to his ministers, and would not do anything like this.
With no choice but to raise food and troops again, they went to Yizhou to suppress the rebels.
However, whether it is food, troops, or even military pay, it takes time to raise it.
Li Huaian of Yizhou obviously would not give the court time to breathe.
With no other choice, Emperor Jing Xing could only transfer Jiaozhou to know the state, command the troops and horses of the state, and resist for the time being.
The magistrate of Jiaozhou, Sheng Jin, was known to be talented and learned. In his early years, he had learned military skills and fought on the battlefield. He was a man of real talents and practical skills.
Over the years, Jiaozhou has been governed in an orderly manner, but the rebellion in Yizhou has become strong and has become a climate. No matter how talented he is, he may not be able to quell the rebellion for a while.
We can only stabilize the situation temporarily and wait for reinforcements from the court.
After the news spread, Zhang Huaiyang became a street rat, and everyone shouted for him to be beaten.
Literary men speak with one mouth, and their words are always sharp. Zhang Huaiyang suffered a huge defeat, and naturally he was going to be sprayed with blood.
As for the nobles, originally if there was a scolding war between the two sides, the nobles would more or less stand up to support one or two of them.
But this time it was different. They really couldn't understand why Zhang Huaiyang, who was born in the military, could lose to a small magistrate of Yizhou!
And it was a huge defeat, a disastrous defeat!
With this defeat, Yizhou could be said to have completely fallen, the imperial court's majesty was completely lost, and it might even affect Jiaozhou.
Overall, the impact is not insignificant.
The honorable circle is a place that emphasizes strength and military exploits.
Zhang Huaiyang made such a big mistake. It would be nice if he didn't criticize him. How could he still speak for him?
Even not only in the court, but also among the people, they cursed Zhang Huaiyang and other defeated generals.
However, in the past, it was the scholars who scolded the most harshly, but this time, the scholars did not have such thoughts.
The test is coming soon, and this is the moment that determines the fate of countless people.
Han Chuang has been studying hard for more than ten years. Whether he can succeed or not depends on today!
In Qiandu City, what the common people have talked about the most after dinner these days, apart from Zhang Huaiyang's defeat of Yizhou, is the Chunwei Trial!
…
Taipingfang, Nanhe Lane.
Tianfu Restaurant!
There was a table where two scholars were sitting, complaining openly to each other.
"Brother Zhang, I think you still have a lot of hope this year. Why did you make plans to return home so early?" one of them asked in surprise.
"Brother Li, I have to do the same. Do you know who are participating in this year's examination?" The scholar named Zhang had a look of helplessness on his face, and his words revealed that he was born at the wrong time.
"Who is it? These days, I have just been immersed in reading, and I don't know much about the popular figure who is the number one scholar this year."
"If I tell you, I might scare you."
"What are you talking about? We, the scholars, are strong when we encounter the strong. How can we feel sorry for ourselves and others when we encounter some setbacks? If we act like this, wouldn't we have read so many articles by saints in vain?" The scholar named Li looked angry.
So said.
"This...Brother Li is right, it's because I'm in trouble." The scholar surnamed Zhang looked ashamed.
"Stop using the ink and tell me who are the influential figures in this examination." The man surnamed Li urged.
"Not to mention anything else, the names of these two people alone can scare away 80% of the scholars. Yingzhou Chen Dao and Ganzhou He Taibai!"
"Chen Dao of Yingzhou? Could it be Chen Dao of the Chen family in Yingzhou?"
The scholar surnamed Zhang nodded and sighed: "Yingzhou is a century-old family, and the Chen family is the most prominent among the seven families in Yingzhou."
"And Chen Dao is the most outstanding descendant of the Chen family in Yingzhou, the Duke Xie Yuang of Yingzhou Provincial Examination!"
"It is said that when Chaoge Lao read his article, he praised it highly!"
When the scholar surnamed Li heard this, he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva: "The Yingzhou Chen family is a scholarly family with a history of hundreds of years, and has always had outstanding people. Since Chen Dao is the most outstanding descendant of the Yingzhou Chen family, he should not be underestimated.
."
"What about the other one? Ganzhou He Taibai? This Ganzhou has always been a big state for the examination, with academies all over the land and a popular literary style. I remember that in the first year of Jingxing, the top ten candidates on the examination list were all from Ganzhou.
Seven!”
"This He Taibai, I wonder which one of the Eighteenth Academy in Ganzhou is from?"
"White Deer Cave!" The scholar surnamed Zhang whispered three words.
After the scholar surnamed Li heard this, his tongue trembled a little: "The leader of the Eighteenth Academy, the Bailudong Academy that claims that half of the Imperial Academy has left Ganzhou, and all the imperial palaces are full of white deer?"
"Besides this Bailudong Academy, which other academy in Ganzhou dares to use the three characters Bailudong in its name?"
The scholar surnamed Zhang said in an increasingly decadent tone: "And this He Taibai is a little different from the previous Ganzhou candidates."
"The essays he wrote in the provincial examination surpassed those of the second-tier students by more than half. It can be said that he is the best in the world. With an overwhelming advantage, he topped the entire White Deer Academy!"
"Hiss!" The scholar surnamed Li took a breath and smacked his tongue: "To be the best at Bailudong Academy, doesn't it mean that it is the best among nearly 80% of the scholars in the world?"
The scholar surnamed Zhang glanced at him and uttered two words: "Ninety percent."
When the scholar surnamed Li heard this, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched.
"Not only that, there is also a figure in the north this year. Li Mojie from Jizhou is also the Jieyuan of Jizhou's rural examination."
"Jizhou has a vast territory and a large number of people. It can be said to be the largest state in our country. Needless to say, the Jieyuan of Jizhou is valuable. Even if this person is slightly different from the two in front, I'm afraid he is not far away."
"Even if you don't care about these people, they just say that we are responsible for the capital."
"Aren't there also Li Long, Li Jieyuan and Zhang Xun, the son of Duke Dingguo?"
"Although Zhang Xun is a noble person, his writing style is restrained, and every word in his writing is full of talent."
"Li Jieyuan is even more remarkable. He is the youngest General Anbei in the court in the past few decades and Li Anbei's apprentice!"
"In addition, his writing style is sophisticated and full of courage. I wonder if you have heard about his previous bet with Lu Heng's disciple Lu Junda."
"In my opinion, this person is also very good. He may not be worse than the previous ones."
"Eh? Brother Li, you're right, what are you doing when you get up?" The scholar surnamed Zhang looked at the scholar surnamed Li who had already gotten up to pack his things and was about to leave, and asked in surprise.
"What else can I do? Of course I go back to the inn to pack my things and go back to my hometown early!" The scholar surnamed Li said angrily: "After living with such monsters, how can I get ahead? I am really born at the wrong time!
"
"It's better to check out of the room early and go back to your hometown to wait for the next exam."
"This inn in Qiandu City is extremely expensive!"
The scholar surnamed Zhang was dumbfounded after hearing this. He hesitated for a long time before he finally managed to say: "That's not what you just said."
