Royal Road

"Rong'er, Liyu is cold, so use less." Seeing his son's sweetness, Liang Feng couldn't help laughing.

Since the end of the New Year, Liang Feng has been busy again. In order to cope with the upcoming victory of Jizhou, Jinyang once again opened a system department, ready to take officials. Two subjects a year is surprising. But there is no other way. The vast territory is waiting for employment, and it is not the time to be reserved. What's more, now that the state is stable and the news of the opening of the branch can be spread farther, the poor families or small gentry from other states and counties have come to look for opportunities. Under such circumstances, is it wasteful not to take it?

With this major event, other things can only be stepped aside. The exam only takes two days, but the revision of the paper is more than that. After the results of the system were announced, it happened to be a banquet on March 3rd. At that time, staff will be organized to conduct the nine-product evaluation. This is the first time in the past four years to restore the Zhongzheng official in Binzhou, which is of great significance. In addition, Guo Tong, the Zhongzheng official appointed by the imperial court, is afraid that there will be some toss.

But no matter how busy he was, Liang Feng still took a day to spend the cold food festival with his son.

The Cold Food Festival is not a big festival, but the customs of the state. Don't raise the fire for three days, just eat cold food. In such a cold spring, eating cold water and cold rice for three days is not very scientific at all. However, when Wei Wu Emperor Cao Cao issued the "Ming Penalty Order", it failed to stop the customary practice of the Cold Food Festival. In Liang Feng's hands, he made a slight change and reduced the three days of the cold food festival to one day, which was set the day before Qingming.

At this time, Qingming is only a solar term in the lunar calendar, not a real festival, and there is no festival. Liang Feng introduced the practice of later generations, cold food forbidden from fire, eating cold food; raising fire in Qingming, and going to the tomb for sacrifice. In this way, the yin and yang alternate, one mourns the dead and the other seeks new things, and it is easier to be accepted by the world. Although the cold eclipse in spring has only been reduced by two days, it is of great significance to the frail elderly and children. Just shorten the time of drinking cold water, and I don't know how many diseases and infections can be avoided.

However, the Provincial Government had no such worries. The water was boiled the day before and let cool, and a lot of cold cakes were made. Even seasonal foods such as dried porridge and yogurt were improved. Like mashed cheese, it was originally boiled with rice and barley into cheese shape, plus mashed almonds. In the hands of the cooks in Liang Mansion, they put goat milk and preserved fruit in the cooking process, cold food is refreshing, and hot drinks are pure and thick. When it comes to the Cold Food Festival, it is also considered a festival ceremony to distribute to the staff in the Fuzhong.

Liang Rong was when he was young and addicted to sweets, so he naturally loved the sweet yogurt like this dessert. Hearing his father's dissuasion, he reluctantly put down the spoon, took a piece of cut lamb and chewed it in his mouth. The meat is tender and tender, the sauce is rich, there is no fishy taint, the taste is mellow and fresh, and it is delicious when paired with sweet sauce or balsamic vinegar. In addition to these two, there are four kinds of cakes and two dishes on the table, which is nothing like a cold food festival.

How could Liang Rong know that this was a feast prepared by his father according to his own preferences. In these days, Chongwenguan officially moved to Jinyang, he also resumed his studies and spent less time with Liang Feng. However, Liang Rong never felt lonely, because he could feel his father's love for him in such subtleties. Compared with the classmates who were far away from his parents in the library, he was extremely lucky.

After finishing the meal slowly, Liang Rong could not help but ask after rinsing his mouth and washing his hands: "Father, do you want to go to the office?"

Liang Feng picked his eyebrows: "Why, does Rong'er want to accompany Grandpa to digest?"

Seeing through his mind, the little guy showed some shame on his face: "Father hasn't played chess with the child for a long time."

After being ill for a winter, Jiang Da three orders and five applications not to let Liang Feng bother, and Qinqi was among them. Now that his health is much better, Liang Feng will disappoint his son, and smiled: "Then let me see for my father Rong'er's chess skills."

Go is also an indispensable part of aristocratic education, and Liang Rong naturally wants to learn it. But at this moment, he shook his head: "Rong'er wants to play marching chess."

When staying in Liang Mansion, the father and son often played marching chess in the house, and sometimes it was just a matter of time. But after Liang Rong entered school, he played less chess. Even Liang Rong missed it a little.

The eyebrows twitched inadvertently, and Liang Feng also remembered the time back then, but Liang Rong was not the only one who pestered him to play military chess at that time.

Now Yecheng sends at most two letters a month, all of which are military secret reports that need to be decoded. What else can they say? In fact, there have been days that I haven't seen for a few months. But don't seal other states, it's really different.

However, these were quickly pressed into the bottom of my heart, Liang Feng smiled slightly: "Why, I recently learned the art of war, want to have a try? Qingmei, take the chess..."

Liang Rong's chess skills have indeed grown a bit. I don't know if he has read a lot of military books, and he has a sense of formation. However, within a few games, the game was interrupted by an urgent letter.

The place was broken by insurgents, the western captain Feng Chong died in battle, and the governor Ding Shao moved to Qinghe. Jizhou is in danger!

Putting down the letter in his hand, Liang Feng exhaled a depression in his chest: "It's about to go to war."

※

"General, Zhao Jun thieves and bandits have been wiped out. Annihilate a thousand enemies and retake the three counties of Zhongqiu, Pingji, and Gaoyi."

Outside the broken city wall, flags and soldiers are all ready. The former Zhao Jun governorate has now become a large army camp. After the Xindu City was broken, Yiyan led his troops to enter the country along Zhao County to clean up the bandits. It has been several months since the looting by the insurgents, but the order in the counties has not been restored. Only because the rebellious army invaded the city, the county government was destroyed and officials opened up positions. Without the officials of herdsmen, the people below naturally became headless flies. In just a few short months, the city was ruined, like a ghost.

Even if the banditry is cleared, can the city be restored to its original state?

"Order to join the army into the city and take over defense!" Yi Yan said to the army Sima standing next to him.

The biggest difference between this dispatch of troops and the past is the configuration of the staff battalion. Most of the Union State Army is equipped with staff officers, but these people are not the generals' private divisions, but are directly assigned by the governor's mansion. They are grouped into one to provide the generals with reference to the battle strategy and other military support. Because such talents are limited, the number of staff members is not very large, and an army of 10,000 may not be able to match ten people. And this time the staff in Yiyan's army has a battalion system!

These people are all old officials selected from the counties and counties of the combined state. After several assessments, they have outstanding achievements and abilities, and they also have a lot of experience in dealing with crises. Their duty is not to fight, but to quickly enter the city after the war and take over the government of a city.

This time the rebellion was a disaster, and the cities that had been looted were no longer able to establish effective administrative institutions, creating a power vacuum. Neither the imperial court nor the governor of Jizhou had time to manage these occupied isolated cities. This is the best time to infiltrate Jizhou counties.

As long as these officials are stationed, a series of government affairs such as pacifying the people, nurturing the people, establishing an effective defense mechanism, and even reclamation and sheltering refugees can be carried out in time. Grain and grass materials seized in the war can also be quickly digested and turned into human resources. You must know that this time the rebels looted not only the city, but also a large number of gentry officials. Many of the heavy supplies that cannot be taken have been burned and abandoned, but more of the property is still in the hands of the rebellious army. If you can make a lot of money, you can make a fortune.

Jiang Yingfei said quickly: "The subordinates will arrange this. But does the general only attack Zhao County? What about Changshan County?"

Changshan County is under the jurisdiction of Xingdao, which is a must for the two states to fight. Isn't it a pity to just let it go?

Yi Yan shook his head: "It's unstoppable. Within ten days, Wang Jun will definitely send troops!"

Jizhou is not only staring at him, Wang Jun from the north has long been salivating. How can you abandon the news that the letter has been broken? His Xianbei soldiers are best at rushing, and within ten days, the army will approach the city. The opponent has one hundred thousand cavalry. How can he be able to win a mixed cavalry with less than ten thousand on hand?

Now is not the time to take a slow picture, we must make a thunderous blow!

Jiang Ying is also a man who is proficient in military affairs. Hearing this, his expression changed a little: "But the thieves have more than 30,000, and they have won their first victory. They are very proud. Fighting immediately is difficult.

The governor had set up many strategies, one of which was to invade more Jizhou city while Wang Jun sent troops. However, the decision is the decision, and the specific command is still in the hands of Yiyan. As long as he orders, tactics will be adjusted accordingly.

"The enemy horse army has a large number. After the big victory, it is very likely to escape Jizhou. If you want to stop it, you must start a decisive battle with it as soon as possible." Yi Yan's voice was cold, without any hesitation.

This is no longer just a matter of land occupation, it is also an important opportunity to intercept a large number of materials and seize military exploits before Wang Jun. Yi Yan thought clearly that what the lord wanted was the land of this state. If it were just Champa, it would be taken sooner or later. What if he won the title of Governor of Jizhou because of his military merits? That would be very different!

Now there are no leaders in Jizhou, and even the governor is at stake. Procrastinating at this moment is the biggest loss!

Hearing what Yiyan said, Jiang Ying took a breath: "The general is very concerned. It's just that our army's strength is far inferior to the thieves!"

This is not a warrior in Binzhou, but a recruit who has just drilled and has not yet been on the battlefield. It's not much better than the Rebellion Army. What's more, there are only seven thousand people, which is less than one-third of the enemy. Can you win the battle like this?

"It's okay. You can try this battle." Yi Yan replied in a deep voice, looking at the ruined city wall to his side.

When cleaning up Zhao County thieves, Yi Yan actually made a lot of pre-war preparations and carefully investigated his opponents. The leader of the chaos is also a Jie general. A tribe who is far away from his homeland and has never defected to the lord, but is a disaster in the prefecture. This made Yi Yan aroused a strong sense of war in his chest. He was no longer the stunned man who would say "to persuade those from the chaotic tribe to take refuge in the lord".

The leader of such a rebellious army, not only can't be pacified, but should be killed! If it is allowed to sit still, it is not good to have an impact on other tribesmen. Under the arrangement of the lord, Binzhou finally accepted the Jie tribe, allowing them to live in a stable life in the Shangdang, just like other people. If it changes, who can save them?

This leader is not a simple character! For the lord, to merge the state, we must eliminate the hidden dangers as soon as possible!
