The Three Kingdoms

……

Half an hour later, Lu Yuan and He Qi conspired together before leaving lightly.

He Qi's tall body stood in front of the huge sand table, holding an imperial edict in his hand, his expression was dignified, strands of fighting spirit burst out from his eyes.

"General, why are you in such a hurry as a king?" Chief of Staff Zeng Tian took a step forward and asked in a low voice: "Not long after the battle of Langye was over, Zang Ba was eyeing him, and at this time the war against Qingzhou was launched, and the Lieyan Camp It is possible to encourage the oppression of Xiao Guan and Feng Gao!"

"Your Majesty must have His Majesty's considerations. The imperial decree has been issued, and the fight must be fought!"

He Qi squinted his eyes, his expression turned cold, he shouted loudly towards the outside of the hall, and said: "Come here, immediately notify the Third Lie Yan Division guarding Kaiyang, and the Fourth Lie Yan Division guarding Dongwu City. In the navy, the Fifth Division Fleet, the Sixth Division Fleet, and the Lie Yan Eighth Division guarding Guangling, all the generals above the regiment headquarters, will return to Yuzhou Mountain within a day to hold a strategic meeting, and those who fail to do so will be dealt with by military law!"

"promise!"

A personal guard stood outside the door to accept orders, and then left quickly.

"General, in Qingzhou, do we actually want to use five divisions?" Zeng Tian looked a little shocked.

"Not just five divisions!"

He Qi shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "The first division of Lieyan and the second division of Lieyan in Yuzhou Mountain will be dispatched, and the cavalry regiment, bow and arrow regiment, and strong crossbow regiment directly under the Lieyan camp will all be dispatched. , if necessary, even the entire Flame Legion will be suppressed!"

"General, there are less than [-] soldiers in Qingzhou, and most of them are recruits from Cai Mao. Why should we do this?"

Zeng Tian frowned.

"Do you think that if we move Qingzhou, we will only fight against Qingzhou's soldiers and horses?"

He Qi said coldly: "When the Raging Flame Army moves, all the soldiers and horses around Xuzhou will be alarmed. This is a big battle. The biggest battle between Wu and Wei has broken out in these years!"

How could the State of Wei give up Qingzhou? If this battle started, the entire border of Xuzhou would be in chaos. From Xiaoguan on the west side of Xiapi to Taishan on the border of Yanxu, it would become a battlefield.

"Before soldiers and horses go, food and grass go first!"

Zeng Tian took a deep breath and calmed down: "We don't have time to collect food and grass from the logistics department. Your Majesty's decree is very clear. We must go to war before the end of October!"

"How much is the reserve?"

"If the whole army fights, it will take less than three days at most, which is not enough for the preparation of the logistics department. With a 10,000+ army, it is not easy to consume food and grass!"

"borrow!"

"borrow?"

He Qi said resolutely: "Military orders are as big as the sky, and the timing of the war cannot be delayed because of food and grass problems. Lao Zeng, on behalf of Lieyan Camp, visit Langye, Donghai, Xiapi, and Guangling. Also pick out five days of food for me, seven or eight days of food, enough to support the transportation of the domestic logistics department!"

"Subordinates understand!" Zeng Tian nodded. (To be continued.)

[Chapter 792 of the top three imperial examinations]

On this day, the sky was high and the air was crisp, and in Jinling City, the Great Court Assembly of the Kingdom of Wu was in full swing.

After the reform of the Wu State, the division of labor between the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department was clear, and all matters were organized. The so-called court meeting is basically not a meeting to discuss matters, but it seems to be a gathering among the officials of the Wu State.

The cabinet is in charge of government affairs, and the military aircraft department is in charge of military affairs. Each has its own order, and there are very few things that can only be discussed if everyone hugs together.

Therefore, Sun Quan is now planning whether to change Wu's so-called Great Court Meeting to once a month.

But today's court meeting is something to watch.

At the court meeting, the first imperial examination, the top ten Xinke university scholars entered to meet the saint, and on the spot, the imperial court examination was held, and Zhang Zhao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, presented the questions and expressed their opinions.

These fledgling young people added a lot of atmosphere to the dull and irritable court meeting.

Of course, the most important thing in this court meeting is the selection of the number one scholar in Wu's first imperial examination. After all, things that both Cai Yong and Sima Wei can't make up their minds are new and a little tricky, and only the court can make a decision.

In this imperial examination, the candidate for the first prize has been decided, and Ma Liang, and the best performers are Jiang Wan and Yan Jian, all competing for the chance to be the champion.

Jiang Wan is a talented person, not very old, but facing the officials of the Wu Kingdom, he has no stage fright, and Yan Jian is not weak. He has been in Jiangdong Academy for many years, and he is capable and well-connected in the officialdom.

After Zhang Zhao's assessment, the two were evenly matched among civil and military officials. Zhang Zhao personally preferred Yan Jian, but Zhou Yu from the household department preferred Jiang Wan.

The two of them represent the two forces in the cabinet. In this way, they have changed from being the number one scholar to being a contender among the cabinet factions, and everyone began to fight with all their might.

Pan Feng, the head of the Military Aircraft Department, was watching the excitement. These are talents, but they have nothing to do with the military.

Zhang Hong of Yushitai had a shiny pair of hoods. He didn't pay attention to the two candidates for the No. [-] scholar, but he became interested in one of the ten new academicians, and planned to recruit new seedlings for Yushitai.

Sun Quan wore a dragon robe.Wearing a jade crown on his head, sitting cross-legged on the dragon chair, he watched His Highness's situation with amber eyes and patted his forehead.It seemed that the final decision still fell on him.

"Gong Yan!"

"The students are here!"

Jiang Wan bowed. It was also the first time he had met the King of Wu. This young monarch who was at most a little older than him had an aura that made his heart palpitate.

This is the demeanor of a superior, but it is an unparalleled aura in his heart.

"Test you alone!"

"Please ask the king to come up with a question!"

Jiang Wan took a deep breath.Stable mentality, arched hands, Wen Wu first, Wu Wu second, the title of No. [-] scholar is very novel, but he cannot lose the title of No. [-] in the imperial examination.

"In a famine year, you only have one steamed bun, but in front of you, there are two people who are about to starve to death. One is from Jingzhou and the other is from Liaodong. Who will you give the steamed bun to?"

Sun Quan asked a nonsensical question with a smile.

This has absolutely nothing to do with learning.

When Zhou Yu and the others heard about it, they each looked up at Sun Quan on the dragon chair, and couldn't help but twitched slightly at the corners of their mouths.

No matter how you listen to this question, it sounds like a dead end.

It has nothing to do with learning, it is a matter of officialdom in the state of Wu. Those who are officials are from Jingzhou and Liaodong.They are all Wu people, and they must be treated equally, so it is wrong to choose anyone.

Jiang Wan's handsome face struggled slightly.Looking at Sun Quan's emerald green pupils, it was as if he could see the playfulness in Sun Quan's pupils.

After a while, he replied: "My lord, can I break the steamed bun in half? Because one steamed bun can save two lives!"

Sun Quan listened.He just smiled, without giving him a reply, his amber eyes turned to look at Yan Jian: "Mancai!"

"The student is here!" Yan Qian was no stranger to Sun Quan, but it was the first time he faced such a majestic Sun Quan in the court, and he felt a little uneasy.

"Gu also tests you!"

"Your Majesty, please come up with a question!" Yan Yan's eyes lit up slightly.

"During the famine year, you also had a steamed bun, but in front of you was a Cao Mengde who was about to starve to death. How would you choose?"
