Chapter 1322 Talent

The rumors in Xiangyang City finally subsided. Taishici was appointed by Ma Chao as Jingzhou Pastoral and ordered 30,000 Ma soldiers to guard Xiangyang. At the same time, Gan Ning was also appointed as the commander of the first water army of the Ma family, and transferred the Jinfan water army from the Yellow River basin to Jiangxia County, and practice in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, which can almost be used in the vast waters. In addition, 5,000 water-versed Jingzhou soldiers were transferred from Cai Mao's private soldiers to join Ganning's Jinfan Water Camp.

The original chaotic situation in Jingzhou has completely established the dominant position of the Ma family over Jingzhou under the drastic personnel reform. For the water thieves and bandits who had not been subdued during Liu Biao's reign, Ma Chao's instructions hit the nail on the head. The imperial edict ordered Taishici and Gan Ning to train their troops in battle, and within a year, they created a solid iron barrel in Jingzhou.

And for the two brothers of the Kuai family, Ma Chao spared no effort to win over, and even said frankly in front of Taishi Ci and Gan Ning: "Zi Rou has a plan of Yongji, and you can ask Zirou about internal affairs; if there is a strategy of collusion, foreign affairs can be questioned. If you and the other four people work together, Jingzhou will be in no way.

After the arrangement was made, Ma Chao returned to Chang'an with Diao Chan, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others in the north under the escort of the Nanyang army. Half a month after Liu Xie's personal expedition, the people of Xiangyang once again saw the vast opening of the army. Compared with the last reluctant 'Hu Ben Army', Ma Chao's army left happily. The people of Xiangyang could not say whether they were lost or happy for a moment when they watched the army that had been outside the city for a long time suddenly leave. In a word, after two consecutive armies left Xiangyang City, it returned to its previous indifferent comfort.

After that, the silent changes of moistening things came slowly. It was not until a year later that the people in Xiangyang City were used to going to go to the street to make fast horse success reports, and when the previously unheard of life items filled the stalls of the major shops on the whole street, they began to vaguely identify, and Jingzhou was unified by Ma Chao. Treatment doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

However, at this time, Ma Chao did not expect the effect of Ou Liang on such a gentle change. He just went upstream all the way and passed Jiangling, Nanjun. Out of his special feelings for the Three Kingdoms, he stayed here for three days.

Jiangling, before Liu Biao built Xiangyang, it has always been the seat of Nanjun and the largest county in Nanjun. It is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, in the west of the Jianghan Plain, the Yangtze River in the south, the Han River in the north, Bashu in the west, and Hunan and Guangdong in the south. In ancient times, it was known as the "seven provinces". During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this was the official land of Chu and the palace of the king of Chu - Zhu Palace. After the destruction of Chu, Qin became an important town for successive kings. Therefore, Jiangling County is often called Jiangling Country.

In another world, Zhou Yu and Guan Yu once guarded this place. The governor here was not called a chief, but an order, and ate a thousand stones. In the early years of the Han Dynasty, when the state governor did not have direct jurisdiction over the eunuchs, the governor's salary was only 600 stones. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Jingzhou mentioned many times actually refers to Jiangling. The so-called Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, which is actually a place borrowed from Jiangling, because Zhou Yu took Jiangling and personally guarded here.

He is a fierce man, and it naturally has nothing to do with guarding this enclave, but later Zhou Yu died, and Dongwu had some hard time guarding this place. Liu Bei just asked for Jiangling, so the two sides reached a consensus to exchange three counties for Jiangling and other places. Since then, Wu and Shu have been quarreling about this matter, and finally turned against the situation. Guan Yu died in battle, and Liu Bei attacked Wu because of this city.

However, Ma Chao knew Jiangling, but he was the earliest in the original world, learning the poems of the poet Li Taibai: "In the colorful clouds of the White Emperor, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in a day." It's beautiful, fairy, and impressive.

Because Jiangling has such a status, his county magistrate is not an ordinary person. His name is Liu Du, and he is also an official appointed by the court. In another time and space, he will serve as the governor of Wuling in the future and died with the city when resisting Liu Bei's attack. After a three-day stay, Ma Chao spent a day talking with Jiangling Ling Liu Du. In the next two days, under the guidance of Liu Du, he rowed with Diao Chan on the lake and truly spent a calm and peaceful day.

Because he knows that after returning to Chang'an, he will no longer be in such a calm mood in Jiangling for at least a year. He wants all his energy and wisdom to complete the rest and recuperation in the seven states, one Sichuan and four counties of the Ma family. In the days of competing every minute, he fought a development war with Cao, the Sun family and Liu Bei.

The battle without swords completely determined the direction of the period when the world was surging a year later, and he had to be undiscipited and cautious.

Ma Chao thought so, and after he went back, he did the same.

The first thing he did after returning to Chang'an was to open another Enke. Because with his ideas that transcend this era, he knows what is the ultimate driving force of the development of an era. Rather than science and technology and innovation are the primary productive forces, the carrier of science and technology and innovation is still talents. Especially in the founding of the country, all kinds of talents are in full bloom and compete for beauty, which is a necessary cornerstone for a sound and prosperous country.

The last Enke in autumn ended before October in early winter. After all three examinations, including liberal arts, martial arts and miscellaneous examinations, the dragon gate opened and the students left the examination room. Ma Chao urgently asked Cai Yong to hand in the papers of liberal arts and science and have a look at them in person.

To Ma Chao's surprise, there are really many talents emerging from Enke this time. In the political defense of current affairs, the topic of "unification of the world" is the most, and the content is diverse. The most common saying is to govern the world with benevolence and righteousness, and finally accept all rivers; there are also those who use domineering and strong soldiers to rule the south to unify the world; the most strange thing for Ma Chao is that some students from merchants actually write about the classics. The infiltration finally realizes the failure of the army without a war.

However, there are many fewer specific topics such as 'breaking Cao Wei', ' destroying the Sun family' and 'taking Yizhou'. After reading a few articles, although the vocabulary is still smooth, most of the content is not new. In fact, compared with the strength of the Ma family and the Cao Wei and Sun families, as long as the Ma family takes the lead in restoring their vitality and can launch at least 300,000 troops and a large-scale hard battle within a year, it is possible for the Ma family to destroy any force.

Although in the original history, Cao Wei, who accounted for three quarters of the world, attacked the weak Shu Han for more than ten years. But it is different in this time and space. Ma Chao's birth has greatly impacted the pattern development of this era. Historically, Zhuge Liang made seven large-scale battles such as Qishan, but only had more than three months of grain and fodder, and the real combat strength was less than 50,000. But Ma Chao and Cao fought against Yuan Shao. The three parties actually gathered an army of 1.5 million and fought for more than half a year, which was completely an endless and protracted battle.

In this era, under the unintentional influence of Ma Chao, it has moved towards a war mode of great killing, great consumption and great victory or defeat, such as the back and forth tug-of-war between the Tuoba Department of Bingzhou and Xianbei. In the view of the Ma family, it is just like a child's family. Therefore, in this situation, the prerequisites of launching a battlefield are much more serious than history. However, most of those young students are still at the stage of talking on paper and have not seen through the vertical, horizontal and complex relationship between the four families in politics.

However, even so, Cai Yong, the chief examiner, has been smiling with joy. For this group of outstanding students, Cai Yong has a great sense of great satisfaction and the two contradictions of the end of the Yangtze River.

After that, he organized a palace examination, and more than 30 filial piety on the list entered the palace. Ma Chao personally asked questions to plan the test. After entering the Deyang Hall, Ma Chao suddenly found that half of the brilliant and general students this time were students from Jingzhou.

For example, Jiang Wan, a native of Lingling County, Jingzhou, was won the first place by Ma Chao. The future Sima of Shu is still at ease among the students gathered by the heroes. He talks about Ma Chao's questions and is very organized. And Ma Chao, after hearing Jiang Wan's name, he had already decided that he was the champion of this palace examination.

Interestingly, after Pang Tong, who accompanied Ma Chao, saw Jiang Wan, he couldn't help testing him. And the problem is very tricky, which is more important, the rule of law or the rule of virtue. Jiang Wan said that the rule of virtue is the way for saints to govern the country, and the rule of law is the foundation of strengthening the country. In the end, he concluded that there is no difference between the rule of law and the rule of virtue. It is the best choice to use it from time to time and govern according to the place...

Pang Tong still wanted to argue again, but was stopped by Ma Chao - he didn't expect that the two people also left an indescribable entanglement because of himself.

And that entanglement has nothing to do with the two, which is all thanks to Lao Luo in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which led to a historical misunderstanding.
