Chapter 894

  The order of the strong man Pei Qian to cut off his wrist avoided the fate of the entire Wu army being wiped out.

  Even Tian Yu on the shore had to praise:

   "Wu Lu is also a capable man."

  Tian Pengzu looked joyful, with a lot of blood on his body, and a human head in his hand:

   "My lord, the leader of the Wu Lu bandit has already taken his head."

   As he spoke, he raised the ferocious head in front of Tian Yu, "I heard from the captives that this man is the leader of this group of Wu captives."

  Tian Yu glanced at the head unexpectedly:

   "This is a surprise!"

   Then he glanced thoughtfully at the fleet retreating to the surface of the sea, "So, at this time, someone else is in charge of the Wu people's fleet?"

  Thinking of this, his expression was a little dignified.

   It is not easy for a character who can make a decisive decision in the face of a big defeat.

   Just then, another report came from ahead:

   "General, Cheng Shijun has led the army and is ready to board the ship to pursue!"

  Tian Yu's complexion finally changed:

   "Not good! Immediately send an order to Cheng Shijun, just kill the thieves on the shore, and don't go into the sea to pursue them!"

  Just remembering that Cheng Xi has always been obedient to his military orders, Tian Yu changed his words again:

   "Come on, prepare the horse! I want to speak to Mr. Cheng in person!"

  Tian Pengzu saw his lord's extremely anxious expression, so he didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly asked someone to bring the mount, and personally helped Tian Yu get on the horse.

   Before he could sit still, Tian Yu twitched his horse's buttocks, rolled up a cloud of dust, and led the people towards the coast.

  The fight on the shore came quickly and ended quickly.

  After all, the Wu people are not good at land warfare, and they are chaotic. They were caught by surprise, and they were all taken down without even a decent resistance.

  Although the battle was not intense, the harvest was not small.

  Pei Qian's decisive decision only saved the main ship of the fleet.

  But because of the confusion of command, some ships of the Wu people still stayed on the shore and were captured by the Wei army.

   On a boat, a box was found, and the box was full of shining northern pearls, which are pearls produced in Liaodong.

  Under the shining of the sun, the bright pearl reflected the dazzling light, which stabbed the eyes of everyone in Wei Jun red.

  Seeing that there are still many Wu boats floating with the waves around, and many Wu boats are drifting away into the distance under the control of Wu people, Cheng Xi shouted anxiously:

   "Hurry up, hurry up, send out people and drag those boats back! Also, don't let the Wu people escape!"

  As early as when preparing to conquer Liao, Qingzhou had already prepared many ships.

  It's just in a hurry, how can it be pulled out?

   That is, some ships that were prepared during the ambush can only be used.

  Some generals of the Wei army were in a hurry, and drove their soldiers to board Wu ships regardless of their care, and wanted to tow those loose ships.

   Some people even wanted to go into the sea to chase the escaped Wu Chuan.

   After Tian Yu arrived, what he saw was such a chaotic image.

  He couldn't help asking angrily:

   "Cheng Shijun, when you are facing the enemy, why is the military discipline so lax?"

  Cheng Xi quietly hid a big pearl in his hand into his sleeve, and at the same time signaled the people below to move away the box containing the pearl.

   Only then did he stand in front of Tian Yu, and said with a haha:

   "General Tian, ​​our army has won a big victory, and now we are chasing the rout. It's normal to be a little chaotic. Why should we be too harsh on the soldiers?"

   "Cheng Shijun, Wu people are good at maneuvering boats, which is beneficial to them at sea. If they react, it will be too late for regret!"

  Tian Yu was not in the mood to point out Cheng Xi's tricks.

  After the death of Emperor Wu, Qingzhou soldiers "thought that the world would be in chaos, so they all beat their drums and left without permission."

  Although the current Qingzhou armies are different from the Qingzhou soldiers recruited by Emperor Wu.

  But it also inherited the tradition of Emperor Wu Qingzhou's military discipline corruption.

  Tian Yu knew this well after supervising the army in Qingzhou.

  Deliberately throw away property, let the pursuers loot it, and take the opportunity to escape.

   This situation is very common.

  But what Tian Yu didn't expect was that the majestic governor of a state would be so ungrateful for profit.

   "General Tian is worrying too much," Cheng Xi laughed, pointing to the Wu boats floating around, and said, "The people of Wu have lost their courage and even abandoned their boats. It's too late to escape now!"

  Tian Yu's face was livid, and he raised his talisman and said sharply:

   "The generals obey the order. Whoever dares to chase Wu people without authorization will be regarded as a violation of the military order and will be executed without pardon!"

   Fortunately, Tian Yu still has the Runan Army to command.

   Soon there was a ringing sound from behind.

  Cheng Xi's face was also extremely ugly.

  Because it was his order to pursue the Wu ships.

  What Tian Yu is doing now is basically slapping him in the face.

  He shook his sleeves and left bitterly.

   It wasn't until he got to a place where Tian Yu couldn't see that he ordered in a dark voice:

   "Let people beat the drums and continue to chase the Wu people!"

   "But envoy, General Na Tian holds the talisman given by His Majesty, just in case..."

  Cheng Xi was furious, and slapped his hand:

   "The man's talisman was given by His Majesty, and I can directly play it to Your Majesty. Just go, I have my own mind!"

   As soon as the sound of the golden ringing stopped, the drums of "Dong Dong" sounded again.

  The army of Qingzhou is naturally familiar with the sound of their own war drums. When they heard the sound of the drums, they all turned around again and went to salvage the floating Wu boats.

  Tian Yu trembled with anger when he saw the Qingzhou Army like this. His patience these days finally failed, and he jumped and cursed:

   "Bandit soldiers! They are simply a group of bandit soldiers! The majestic Wei, there are such bandit soldiers!"

  "The great defeat of the country is the defeat at the hands of these short-sighted people like you..."

  Tian Pengzu's expression changed drastically in fright, and he hurriedly dragged his lord back to his army.

  The confusion of the Wei army allowed Pei Qian, who retreated to the sea, to take the opportunity to gather some ships.

  He was not in the mood to stay here any longer, and began to flee south.

  Thus, Tian Yu's worry that the Wu people would take the opportunity to counterattack did not become a reality.

  The armies of Qingzhou dragged the discarded boats of the Wu people back to the shore, and indeed found many treasures.

  Cheng Xi was even more triumphant, and immediately divided up with the generals in private, without even intending to inform Tian Yu.

  The generals benefited, and only said that Cheng Xi commanded well, so why would they care about Tian Yu's face?

  After the anticlimactic battle, Tian Yu was so angry that he didn't even notify Cheng Xi, and led the army back to Runan the next day.

  Cheng Xi was also so happy that Tian Yu left Qingzhou. After he bought the generals, he quickly wrote the military report and asked the generals in the army to draw a pledge. Then, together with his memorial, he was sent to Luoyang overnight.

  The two battle reports of the First Battle of Chengshan soon reached Cao Rui's desk.

   One was naturally written by Cheng Xi, and the other was reported by Tian Yu.

  Both battle reports were written about the great victory of Chengshan, and at the same time mentioned the corruption of military discipline.

  The difference is that Tian Yu bluntly said that the Qingzhou Army's military discipline was corrupt and did not obey military orders, and suggested that His Majesty send someone to clean it up.

  Cheng Xi said that although Tian Yu made great military exploits, the military order was lax, and he snatched many treasures from the Wu people, but distributed them to the army instead of handing them over to the government.

   At the same time, he said that fortunately, he also led the army to fight bravely, and grabbed some spoils, and carefully selected the pearls produced in Liaodong from them, and sent people to the palace.

  Cao Rui read the battle reports of the two men, hesitation appeared on his face, he held a battle report in one hand, pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked Lian Zhao who was serving at the side:

   "Cheng Xi and Tian Yu both played, accusing the other party of lax military discipline, what do you think?"

  As Shang Shulang, Lian Zhao can be regarded as the emperor's adviser, and it is within the scope of his duties to discuss politics.

  I saw him bowing, accompanied by a smile and said:

   "Chengshan's great victory is due to His Majesty's ability to employ people well. If military discipline is lax and corrupt, you can win, then how unbearable is the military discipline of the Wu people?"

   "This matter is nothing more than a discord between Cheng Shijun and General Tian. What His Majesty needs to do at this time is not military discipline, but how to reward and punish."

   "Otherwise, if the battle is won, His Majesty will want to clean up the military discipline instead. Wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers?"

   Cao Rui heard the words, nodded and said with a smile:

   "That makes sense."

   Saying this, Tian Yu's battle report in his hand seemed to have accidentally slipped onto the case.

  Lian Zhao saw it and understood in his heart: His Majesty seems to have made a decision.

   It is Cheng Shijun who knows His Majesty better, knowing that His Majesty likes pearls...

   Soon after, Cao Rui ordered to reward the soldiers who participated in the First Battle of Chengshan, and all the generals in Qingzhou were rewarded.

   Tian Pengzu, who beheaded Zhou He, was only rewarded with the generals of Qingzhou.

  As for Tian Yu, his achievements are not listed.

  When Tian Pengzu heard about this, he cursed angrily:

   "It must be Cheng Xi who is behind the scenes, why don't your lord go to the memorial to clarify this matter?"

  Tian Yu was silent for a long time, and finally turned into a sigh:

   "This is my slip of the tongue, Your Majesty warned me, what do you have to do with others?"

  Speaking, no longer discuss this matter.

  That's what he said, but Tian Yu knew in his heart that His Majesty is toward Cheng Xi and not toward himself.

   It is very likely that what I said before the battle was the "great defeat of the country", and was reported to His Majesty's ears, which aroused His Majesty's displeasure, so I deliberately suppressed my credit.

   More importantly, I have no background, no background of aristocratic family.

  Whether it is Wang Xiong or Cheng Xi, the background behind them is far better than myself...

  The tenth year of Jianxing is almost at the end of the year, and the Battle of Chengshan in the east is probably the only relatively big conflict in the past half a year.

   Originally, the Guanzhong area, where most of the troops of the Han and Wei dynasties gathered, was rare and calm.

  Sima Yi from Chang'an is still farming in silence, becoming an old farmer with peace of mind.

  South of Chang'an, across the Qinling Mountains, Nanxiang has ushered in its unique lively period.

  Nanxiang School has now been expanded to a small half of the inner city of Nanxiang.

   It is expanded almost every year.

  The part of Nanxiang Academy’s assets that were originally used to train foremen has already been divested, and Nanxiang Preparatory Academy has been re-established.

  Now Nanxiang Academy has seven entrances and exits.

  Today is a special day. Many people are bustling around each of these seven gates.

  Everyone wanted to squeeze in desperately, but they couldn't squeeze in, so they stood up, stretched their necks, and wanted to look inside.

   It was the porters who drove carts and the coolies who carried sacks on weekdays. Today they all had a collective holiday, gathered in a circle, and stared at the door of the school.

   To be precise, staring at the big red list at the door, everyone pricked up their ears, trying to catch the names from the innermost part of the crowd.

   Today is Nanxiang's biggest annual ceremony, the day when the list of students selected by Nanxiang Academy is announced.

  From the rich and the rich, down to the head of Guizhou, regardless of whether anyone in the family took the school exam, they all stopped what they were doing.

  Of course, dignitaries and top families do not need to participate.

   After all, they have their own way.

  The exchange is also closed for a day today to give way to Nanxiang Academy.

  The former Nanxiang School controlled the output of emerging economic management talents such as workshops and plantations.

  With the development of Liangzhou exams, the first batch of students from the school were taken to Liangzhou by Governor Feng, marking the official start of Nanxiang School to provide official talents for the great man.

  Although they are only reserve officials, and they are still low-level officials, they are finally standing at the gate of the big man's officialdom.

   Taixue is temporarily out of reach.

  Because the emperor told Xu Ci a few years ago, the most important thing now is how to restore the old capital, and the time to restore the Imperial Academy is not yet ripe.

   The implication is that Taixue will not be able to do it before regaining Chang'an.

  So Nanxiang Academy has become a transition of Taixue, which is also a matter of course.

   After all, the royal family is the original shareholder of the school.

  As early as a few years ago, eunuchs and maids were sent to study inside.

  A considerable part of the royal servants who manage the inner palace are from Nanxiang Academy.

  Xiang Lang, who is most loved by the scholars, has always lived in Nanxiang Academy.

   Xu Ci, who yelled "restore Taixue" the loudest, also went to Nanxiang Academy to eat and drink the year before last...

   It can be said that Nanxiang Academy has been involved in the four items of "government industry, education and media", and has begun to form a strange mixture.

   Transport official talents for the great Han.

  Transport management talents for various plantations, workshops and other emerging economies.

   Break the intellectual monopoly of the aristocratic family, and open up a channel for all classes to acquire knowledge.

  As for the matchmaker, it is unique to Nanxiang Academy.

  Although the previous wind reviews can be regarded as the embryonic form of media.

  But for new media such as storytelling, storytelling, and rap that are popular in Nanxiang, the traditional wind reviews are not enough.

   Students who want to enter Nanxiang Lecture Hall will have an internship period.

  This internship period is to go everywhere to tell stories, rap, or organize raps.

  Or enter the printing workshop, paper mill, Xinhua Bookstore...

  Anyway, it is to enter the unique industrial practice of Nanxiang.

   It is called exercise ability.

  According to some gossip, after entering the army, the students in the lecture hall should often teach the soldiers how to read and give them lectures.

   Most importantly, they can boost the morale of soldiers.

  Whether it’s true or not, it must be a fact that you start off higher than others in the military.

  So Nanxiang Academy has affected the interests of countless groups. Students who can pass the exam and officially enter Nanxiang Academy are indeed qualified to attract the attention of everyone in Nanxiang.

   "Wang Sheng! Wang Sheng!

   "Who is Wang Sheng?"

  Everyone who hears this name wants to know who this lucky guy is.

   Soon, there was a burst of cheers in the distance.

  Of course, more people sighed together.

   One less quota...

  Especially for Cangtou Guishou, this may be the only chance to change the fate of the family.

   "Luo Hei, Luo Hei..."

  Listening to the name passed from the inside out, many people twitched.

   Why is this **** famous? This kind of reputation can also be admitted?

  Among the crowd of coolie porters, a man straightened up suddenly, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

  He held his breath, his swarthy face glowed with oil, and his ears were pricked up.

   Instead, the worker next to him pushed him and shouted excitedly:

   "Luo Hei, it's Hei Wa, is it Hei Wa?"

   "Yes...listen again, listen again, don't get me wrong..."

  The black-faced man tightly held the worker's arm with his backhand, and murmured.

   "No mistake, it's Hei Wa!"

  Someone pushed forward again, and shouted loudly to the black-faced man:

   "Hei Wa from Class Seven, I can hear you clearly! That's right!"

   "Really? Don't lie to me!"

  As the righteous master, the black-faced man couldn't believe it.

   "No mistake, no mistake!"

   "Hey! I passed the exam!" The black-faced man clapped his hands and stomped his feet fiercely, with ecstasy on his face, and he laughed wildly.

   All the workers who accompanied him cheered.

  Hearing the undisguised laughter of these coolie porters, someone couldn't help but secretly cursed:

   "I'm not the son of man! How can these poor people in Nanxiang go to school without paying?"

  Remembering that he paid the boss’s price but failed to send the child to school, this man let out a fierce “Bah”:

   "Fucking mother! Nanxiang people are given priority even when entering the hospital to give birth. Is there any reason! Ah tui!"

   A mouthful of thick phlegm just spit out onto the trouser leg of the black hat that maintained order.

   A pair of fierce lights under the black hat immediately looked over.

   This person trembled and his face turned pale!

  Nanxiang black hat, with a reputation of viciousness, I heard that even the prime minister was fined by them...
