Tibet

Five days later, Jincheng County and Yong County announced their rankings at the same time. The rankings in both places admitted 100 people. The top ten will be appointed as alternate judges, and the next ninety can only be civil servants.

At the same time, special quotas have also begun to be admitted, and officers will be awarded based on test scores and scoring values.

The scoring value is a comprehensive score based on contribution, family reputation, personal reputation, etc., and is divided into first class, second class and third class.

There are very few people in the first class, less than ten people. They need to be the legitimate son of a famous family, or have world fame, or have made significant contributions.

There are only seven people in the first class, but what is unexpected is that Liang Fei is ranked second in the first class. Of course, his family donated Laojun Mountain, a place where saltpeter is produced, to Helong Jiedu Mansion, and helped For mining in Jiedu Mansion, the military will of course recommend him as the first rank.

There are not many people in the second class, only about ten people. Li Ye recommended three people, Wei Yingwu, Du You and Li Boqin, and all three of them ranked in the second class.

The remaining thirty or so people are in the third class.

At noon, the news came out. Everyone went in to talk and announced their appointments. Wei Yingwu passed the exam and ranked ninth and was appointed as the county magistrate of Guzang County, Liangzhou.

Du You passed the 14th place in the examination and was appointed as the Judicial Military Officer of Jiedu Prefecture. This position was not low. In fact, he was responsible for handling legal affairs and supervision matters beside Li Ye.

Both of them were eighth-grade officials. Although Liang Fei failed in the exam, he was ranked first in the internal rating, which was the hardest indicator.

Liang Fei was appointed as Chengfeng Lang, an eighth-grade official. His position was the Chief of the Trade Department of Jiedu Prefecture. In fact, he was Zhang Ping's deputy and was based in Hanyang.

Li Boqin was appointed as the county magistrate of Chengji County in Qinzhou.

These officials are formally appointed and must be reported to the Ministry of Personnel for record.

"cheers!"

The three of them toasted and drank together in the private room. A few days ago, they were worried, but now they can laugh and laugh.

They are all satisfied with their appointments. The government basically arranges positions according to their personal wishes. Liang Fei's family has been doing business for generations. He has heard about it and is good at business. He is engaged in commercial affairs and is a minister of trade. He couldn't get over it.

Wei Yingwu was also very satisfied and appointed him as the magistrate of Guzang County, Liangzhou! For every poet, Liangzhou is their romantic yearning place.

Du You was naturally very satisfied. He didn't want to go to other places and wanted to stay in Jiedu Mansion to serve. As a result, he got the post of judicial officer in Jiedu Mansion. This was a confidential position and his status was higher than that of Wei Yingwu and Liang Fei.

"Brother Wei, are you going to work in Guzang County directly?" Liang Feixiao asked.

Wei Yingwu nodded, "Train in Jincheng County for half a month, and then go directly to Guzang County."

Liang Fei took out fifty taels of silver from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it to Wei Yingwu. Wei Yingwu was startled, "Brother Xian, what are you doing?"

"Brother's ten thousand dollars won't last long."

Wei Yingwu smiled and said: "The imperial court gave me a hundred gu of settlement money, which should be enough!"

"My brother still owes a debt of 100 guan. I know I can't drag it out any longer. The family still owes 30 guan. My brother's money to settle down is not even enough to repay the debt. How can we talk about settling down?"

Liang Fei pushed the money to him and said with a smile: "This is a congratulatory gift from my younger brother. Congratulations to my brother for passing the top ten exams and being admitted as the Prime Minister of Guzang County. If you don't accept it, you won't give me face."

Wei Yingwu was really moved. What does it mean to provide help in times of need? This is it.

"Brother Yu will always bear in mind the friendship between brothers. I would like to drink a glass to Brother Xian and congratulate you on your appointment as the Commissioner of the Trade Department."

Wei Yingwu immediately wrote a poem:

"Sending Brother Liang Fei to Hanyang in Late Spring"

Jia Shui Cangshan Road leads eastward, and the southeast mountain leads to a large river.

The cold tree is slightly far away in the sky, and the setting sun is shining brightly in the turbulent current.

The isolated village is near the river bank, and there are wild geese in the early clear breeze.

In order to repay the Yellow Crane's visit to the eunuchs, the boat is not of the same mind.

Of course, Huizhou also belongs to Longyou. It is the largest state in Longyou. It governs Huining County, which is today's Jingbian County. It is a typical Loess Plateau area with ravines, deep soil and a very sparse population. .

Huining County has a population of about 10,000. The biggest specialty here is pottery. Half of the city's population is making pottery. The various pottery produced is famous for its thin and strong skin. It is sold in all states and counties inside and outside the Guan. In Longyou, Hexi is also very popular.

When Li Ye went to the Western Regions for the first time that year, he crossed the Yellow River from Huining County and was chased by Yang family warriors.

Now that he comes here again, everything has changed.

The 55,000-strong army set up camp outside Huining County. In the Chinese army's tent, Li Ye and several generals were listening to the report of the scout captain Li Xiaoguo.

"Your Highness, all generals, I have humbly led thirty brothers to investigate the intelligence of the Tubo army in Shuofang. With the assistance of Shuofang's intelligence spies, we went deep into the Tibetan soldiers and collected various information. We are now reporting as follows."

Li Xiaoguo was sharp-minded and well-organized. He reported in detail: "Currently, there are 20,000 Tibetan troops in Shuofang, all concentrated in Lingwu County. However, this Tibetan army is composed of Tubo Han recruits with no combat experience. Their mission in Shuofang is They were working in the fields, and I saw them training with my own eyes, and they were still training formations, and the most basic recruit training."

"Tell me about their equipment!" Xin Yunjing said again.

"The opponent's equipment is very simple. The weapons are spears and bows. The bows and arrows have a range of about sixty steps. They are wearing leather armor and nothing else."

Li Ye asked again: "Is this Tubo army cruel?"

"It's not too brutal. Our intelligence agent Chen Fangliang said that he opened two small shops selling daily necessities in the city. Many Tubo people came to buy things and basically paid. There were no atrocities of rape, burning and killing. Recently they When young men were captured to farm, there was no mass murder. However, after they were caught after escaping, they were tied to a tree and given thirty lashes. I saw this with my own eyes."

Li Ye nodded, "In this case, this army can accept the surrender and use it to mine."

At this time, Nan Jiyun reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, our real opponent is not the Tibetan army, but the Uighurs!"

Of course, Li Ye would not forget his main enemy. He said to the scout general Zhang Dian next to him: "Next, the task of the scout army is mainly to pay attention to the Uighur army. Of course, the Tubo army in Shuofang also has to pay attention to its every move. Therefore, the scout army must Multiple routes are dispatched, please make good arrangements!"

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Zhang Dian bowed and went away.

At this time, Lei Wanchun, who had been silent all this time, smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, I have a way to lure the Tibetan army out of Lingwu."

Spring in Shuofang is very short. Not long after the ice on the Yellow River melted, it entered early May and the weather began to get a little warmer. At this time, it is the transition from late spring to early summer. If there is enough sunshine, walking on the road will feel a bit a bit... It's hot.

On the official road south of Lingwu County, a caravan consisting of thirty camels was walking towards Lingwu County. The leader was a Qiang merchant, and several of the waiters behind were also Qiang people.

They brought the Tibetan soldiers' favorite cargo, barbecue spices.

The caravan went directly to the city and found the purchasing point of the Tibetan army. A Tibetan official received them.

The guys started unloading the goods, and the leader bargained with Tubo. After reaching an agreement, they started weighing.

"You guys came from Longyou and didn't meet Tang soldiers, right?" the Tubo official asked casually.

"Of course, we were checked and searched yesterday by the Tang Army's cavalry."

"yesterday?"

The Tubo official was stunned, "Where did you meet him yesterday?"

"It's in Anle County in the south. We wanted to go to Anle County to replenish water and food, but we met the Tang Army there. They didn't allow us to go north and asked us to go back. We pretended to go back and went around to Mingsha County."

The Tubo officials became a little nervous. Anle County is only 150 miles away from Lingwu County. Tang troops actually appeared 150 miles away? This is a big deal.

"How many troops does the other side have?" the official asked urgently.

"About three thousand people."

This must be the forward of the Tang army. The Tubo official asked another man to come and greet the goods, and he hurriedly reported to the captain.

Although the main body of the Tubo army in Shuofang was Tubo Han, the generals above centurion were all Tubo, and there were even a thousand Tubo troops to suppress the formation.

The Tubo captain's name was Lunbu Zharen. He heard that a Tang army cavalry of three thousand people appeared in the south. His face suddenly darkened. Did he come to provoke him with only three thousand people?

He immediately shouted: "Send the order for the entire army to assemble!"
