Chapter 113 The general trend
In a pavilion in Fanlou, Jia Kui, Zhang Yu, Hebin, Yang Sui, Lu Zheng and Li Hao sat around and drank with each other.
After taking a sip of wine, Zhang Yu slapped the cup in his hand: "I heard from the people of the Privy Council that the court now has a regular discussion, and the military academies will also have a scientific examination in the future. Only those who pass the examination can be commanders, just like the Jinshi in the civil servants. I am a thief. I only know how to kill enemies in front of the formation and regard thousands of troops as if nothing is there. What scientific examination articles are done by people like me!"
Jia Kui said: "You don't have to worry. The scientific examination in the military tests test the knowledge of the school and middle school, and they don't test poetry and essays."
Zhang Yu said, "So what? What I learned from the military is to dance with swords and guns, not planning and calculations. Although we have not entered the school, we also know what we teach in the military school. I can't know many words, so I can understand the documents and it's enough for the military. How can I learn those? I see, it's not interesting to be a vocational official. Why would I hire a military post and go out to have fun."
Jia Kui said: "Baochen, the Taiwei just doesn't want us to waste time, so he recruited him into the capital and sent him to study in the military academy. If he only wanted to do a military position, why should he recruit him into the capital? How happy you are to be the commander of Guangxi Road!"
Zhang Yu shook his head, drank with his head down, and did not speak.
These people were Di Qing's capable subordinates, and they made great contributions in the battle of Nong Zhigao. Jia Kui and Di Qing were soldiers in the Gongsheng Army, and the two were only two years apart. Zhang Yu was younger and famous for his bravery in the northwest. When he was with Di Qing in Qing's city, a general of the Xia army challenged him. Zhang Yu brought an iron mace to fight alone, and took the head and his horse back to the formation, and he was called Zhang Tiemace.
Jia Kui was older and had higher official positions. After Guirenpu, he was promoted to the envoy of Xiranyuan, the governor of Jiazhou, and the envoy of Zhengyao County. Zhang Yu's official position was very low, and he was the right ban, which was lower than that of Yang Wenguang's official position when he first arrived in Suizhou. After the war, he was promoted to the inner palace Chongban. After the martial arts performance in the capital, he was promoted to the inner palace commander. Since he was a child, he was promoted to the envoy to the ambassador. Most of the other people were powerful generals in the northwest, who had participated in the battles of Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan, Dingchuanzhai and other wars. Among them, Yang Sui had participated in the King of Pingbeizhou, and one of the later generations of Sui in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes of the Sansui Pingye".
After the war, most of these people were promoted and were assigned to various places. Zhang Yu and Lu Zheng stayed in Guangxi and became the commander of Guangxi Road. Jia Kui became the commander of Qinfeng Road, but because of his mother's illness, he never took office. The Beijing Military Academy was built and the imperial guards carried out large-scale training. Di Qing specially transferred these old troops to the military city, preparing to let them enter the Beijing school and study for a while, and have a future. Unexpectedly, before he entered the school, he would first pass on the news of the scientific examination.
Among the few people, Zhang Yu had the lowest level of education, which was the most resistant to this. After fighting Nong Zhigao back to the capital, he demonstrated in Chongzheng Hall, and the commander was Zhang Yu. Zhao Zhen was very happy with this brave general. Unexpectedly, after a few months, the situation changed.
Hebin said: "The overall situation of this matter has been decided. What's the use of us fighting? Entering the military general early, truly learning skills, and making a future is the right way. There is no use to complain here. Even the Taiwei, who went to Hequ Road, inspected the military academy there?"
Zhang Yu said coldly: "What skills can you learn when you go inside? She has an iron mace, which is traversing and crossing several ways, and there is no rival!"
Yang Sui shook his head: "Baochen, this is not as good as before. In the Hequ Road Army, wars do not rely on archery and horse skills at all! No matter how brave you are, there is no use under the guns and cannons! Besides, how many military achievements are there in front of Dangxiang people? 30,000 soldiers on Hequ Road, first destroy the Heishan Military Supervision Office, and then destroy the White Horse Military Supervision Office. Dangxiang tens of thousands of Dangxiang people have no power at all! The world has changed, and we can only change."
Lu Zheng and Zhang Yu came back from Guangxi together and sighed: "Yes, the world has changed. We have established great labor in Guangxi, but compared with the military achievements of Hequ Road, it is not worth mentioning at all. A Nong Zhigao, a barbarian thief, the army on Hequ Road can defeat the Khitan first, kill the Khitan emperor, force the military achievements of hundreds of thousands of miles, and expand the land for thousands of miles. Not to mention the defeat of Dangxiang with only 30,000 troops, and the battle made Dangxiang fear and offer the city obediently. Alas——”
Jia Kui said: "It is useless to complain now. The Taiwei asked us to come to the capital for our future. Only by making a name for the middle school can we live up to the cultivation of the Taiwei. So what if we don't know much literacy? Most of the people in the imperial guards are like us? Why can't we learn it? That is to say, the generals of the Hequ army that made great contributions in the northwest are mostly inferior to us. During the southern expedition last year, we all saw people from the Laying-Check Army, who were mostly from the Laying-Check Army. How can we compare with those of us? If they can, we can do it too!"
Hebin nodded: "That's true. If the fiber-pulling army can be trained, why can't we train it? Now the court is full of energy, and in the future, we will definitely go north to restore Youyan, pacify the Khitan, and destroy Dangxiang. We will learn it as soon as possible. Aren't these big battles all opportunities!"
Zhang Yu nodded and drank a glass of wine with everyone, but he still felt very uncomfortable.
When he went south to Ping Nong Zhigao last year, Du Zhongxiao's Yingtianxiang Army was a reserve force, and Zhang Yu and Jia Kui had met Du Zhongxiao. At that time, a civil servant with the Xiang army could not have imagined that he would make such a big noise a year later. At that time, he disagreed with Du Zhongxiao and thought that he led the Yingtianxiang Army to the south to take advantage of the military achievements of Di Qing and others. Unexpectedly, he turned north and beat the Khitan to pieces and divided it into two. He also wiped out tens of thousands of Dangxiang's people, the places where the army was in the mountains and rivers of the Hequ Road were, and they didn't even dare to open the city gate.
The Khitan and Dangxiang were defeated one after another, and the territory was expanded for thousands of miles, and the military forces of this era were hard to imagine. Zhang Yu had no objection to Du Zhongxiao, but he had very big opinions on the officers who could not learn well in the military academy and could not be a commander. Leading the generals was the focus of being brave and invincible in the battle formation. Why did he suddenly become a complete plan and the command was determined?
I ride a horse and hold a knife. I am used to killing people on the battlefield. When I go to school to study, I think it’s ridiculous.
Under Di Qing, Jia Kui and Zhang Yu are his right-hand men. Zhang Yuyong and Jia Kui's strategy complement each other. However, because of the combat mode of the Hequ Road Army, the bravery in front of the formation is useless, so Zhang Yu is of course depressed.
Zhang Yu and Jia Kui were both born as cavalrymen, starting from the lowest-level soldiers, and their future was like Di Qing. Compared with Zhang Yu, Jia Kui was born in a humble background and all three generations of white diligent. When he was not young, his father passed away and Jia Mu remarried. His stepfather was not good to Jia Kui and his life was difficult. Jia Kui was filial and later joined the army. He made a fortune in the army due to military merits. He gave his stepfather a lot of money and took over his mother to support him.
In his poor life since childhood, Jia Kui has seen the warmth and warmth of human nature. After returning from Guangxi, Jia Kui was promoted to the commander of Qin Fenglu. Because his mother was old and sick, he refused but refused. Di Qing refused, but because of his mother, he had not taken office yet. A few days ago, he knew that he would change his post to the military affairs of Goulin Mansion Road, but he no longer served as the commander of the road. He heard that he would be drawn to Hequ Road.
With Jia Kui's personality, he knew that he would not come from a military academy in the future and could not adapt to the combat methods of Hequlu, and would have no future. Now the court is talking about the imperial examinations in the army, which is probably the general trend, and this will be the case in the future. Now it is not the time to complain. The most important thing is to figure out how to take the imperial examinations, what contents to take, and even affect the way of the examinations.
This incident was a big deal in the capital, and several companions from Nanzheng drank together in Fancheng to relieve their boredom.
