Royal Road - Chapter 253

[Chapter 252 | City]

“Rong’er, the cheese is cold, use it sparingly.” Liang Feng couldn’t help laughing when he saw his son’s delicious food.

Since the New Year, Liang Feng has been busy again.

In order to cope with Jizhou, which was about to be won, Jinyang opened the system again and prepared to take officials.

Two subjects a year is simply surprising.

But there is no other way, the vast land is waiting to be employed, and it is not the time to be reserved.

What’s more, now that Bingzhou is stable, the news of opening a branch can spread farther, and poor families or small nobles from other states and counties have come to look for opportunities.

In this case, would it be a waste not to take it?

With this big event, other things can only be sidelined.

The exam only takes two days, but the time to change the paper is more than that.

After the results of the system were announced, it happened to be the banquet on March 3rd.

At that time, it will also organize manpower to conduct the evaluation of the ninth grade.

This is the first time that Bingzhou is recovering in four years | □ □, which is of great significance.

In addition, Guo Tong, a middle official appointed by the court, is afraid that there will be some trouble.

But no matter how busy he was, Liang Feng still took a day off to spend the Cold Food Festival with his son.

The Cold Food Festival is not a big festival, but a Bingzhou custom.

No fire for three days, only cold food.

In such a cold spring, it is not very scientific to eat cold and cold rice for three days.

But when Emperor Wei Wudi Cao Cao issued the “Ming Punishment Order”, it failed to stop the custom of the Cold Food Festival.

In Liang Feng’s hands, he changed it a little and reduced the three days of the Cold Food Festival to one day, and set it on the day before Qingming Festival.

At this time, Qingming is only a solar term in the lunar calendar, not a real festival, and there is no customs.

Liang Feng introduced the practice of later generations, eating cold food without fire and eating cold food;

Such an alternation of yin and yang, one mourns the death and the other seeks newness, is more easily accepted by the world.

Although the time of spring cold food has only been reduced by two days, it is of great significance to the frail elderly and children.

Just by shortening the time of drinking cold water, I don’t know how many diseases can be avoided.

However, the Governor’s Mansion did not have such concerns.

The water was boiled and cooled the day before, and a lot of pastry dishes were also made, and even seasonal foods such as dry porridge and cheese were improved.

Like licorice, it was originally made of japonica rice and barley into a cheese-like shape, with smashed almonds added.

In the hands of the cooks in Liang Mansion, goat milk and preserved fruit are put in during the cooking process. The cold food is refreshing and the hot drink is pure and strong.

When the Cold Food Festival comes, it is also considered a festival to distribute it to the staff of the government.

When Liang Rong was young and addicted to sweets, he naturally loved this dessert-like licorice.

Hearing his father’s dissuasion, he put down the spoon reluctantly, took a slice of white-cut mutton and chewed it in his mouth.

The meat is crispy and tender, the sauce is rich and fragrant, there is no fishy mutton, and the taste is mellow and fresh. It has a unique taste with sweet sauce or balsamic vinegar.

In addition to these two, there are also four kinds of cakes and two vegetables on the table, which is not like a cold food festival.

How could Liang Rong not know that this was a feast prepared by his father according to his own preferences.

These days, Chongwenguan has officially moved to Jinyang, and he has resumed his studies, spending less time with Liang Feng.

However, Liang Rong never felt lonely, because he could feel his father’s love for him every time in such subtleties.

Compared with the classmates in the hall who were far away from his parents, he was already extremely lucky.

After finishing the meal slowly, Liang Rong rinsed his mouth and cleaned his hands, and couldn’t help but ask: “Father wants to go to the

yamen?”

Liang Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why, does Rong Er want to accompany Father to digest food?”

The guy’s face showed some embarrassment: “Father hasn’t played chess with my son for a long time.” After

being sick for a winter, Jiang Da made three orders to keep Liang Feng from worrying about it, and Qin and chess were among them.

Now that his health is much better, Liang Feng can’t disappoint his son. He smiled and said, “Then let my father see Rong’er’s chess skills improve.”

Go is also an indispensable part of aristocratic education. .

But at this moment, he shook his head: “Rong’er wants to play marching chess.” Back then, when they lived

in Liang Mansion, the father and son often played marching chess in the house, and sometimes it took an hour to play.

But after Liang Rong entered school, he played less chess.

Even Liang Rong was a little missed.

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

Now Yecheng sends at most two letters in January, and they are all military secrets that need to be decoded. What else can they say?

In fact, there have been days when we haven’t seen each other for a few months.

But don’t block other states, it’s really different.

However, these were quickly suppressed in the bottom of his heart, Liang Feng smiled slightly: “Why, I recently learned the art of war, and want to try it? Qingmei, take chess…”

Liang Rong’s chess skills have indeed grown somewhat, I don’t know if it’s from the book of war. There are many more, and there is a sense of dot formation.

However, after a few games, the game was interrupted by an urgent letter.

The government was overrun by the rebels, the western commander Feng Chong died in battle, and the governor Ding Shao moved the town of Qinghe.

Jizhou is in danger!

Putting down the letter in his hand, Liang Feng exhaled the sullen breath in his chest: “The war is about to begin.”

※

“General, the bandits in Zhao County have been swept away. Thousands of enemies have been wiped out, and the three counties of Zhongqiu, Pingji and Gaoyi have been recaptured.

” Outside the city walls, flags and flags are fluttering, and troops and horses are ready.

The former Zhaojun government office has now become a large army camp.

After the Xindu city was destroyed, Yiyan led his troops to enter Zhao County to clean up the bandits.

It has been a few months since the looting of the troops, but the order in the counties has not been restored.

Just because the rebel army invaded the city, they destroyed the county government and killed officials to open warehouses.

After losing the official of herdsmen, the people below naturally turned into headless flies.

In just a few short months, the city was desolate, like a ghost.

Even if the bandits are cleared, can the city be restored to its original state?

“I am ordered to join the army and enter the city and take over the defense!” Yi Yan said to the military Sima who was standing beside him.

The biggest difference between this dispatch and the past is the configuration of the staff battalion.

Most of the Bingzhou Army has staff officers, but these people are not the generals’ private department, but are directly assigned by the governor’s office, and they are integrated into one group to provide the generals with a reference to the strategy and other military support.

Because such talents are limited, the number of staff officers 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 full battalion system!

These people are all senior officials selected from the counties and counties in Bingzhou. After several assessments, they have excellent political performance and outstanding 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 affairs of a city.

This time, the chaos caused by the army was too great. Those cities that had been looted could no longer establish effective administrative institutions, resulting in a power vacuum.

Neither the imperial court nor the governor of Jizhou had time to manage these occupied and isolated cities.

This has become the best time to penetrate Jizhou counties.

As long as these officials are stationed, a series of government affairs such as calming the people, pacifying the people, establishing an effective defense mechanism, and even reclamation and sheltering the refugees can be carried out in time.

The food and grass materials seized in the war can also be quickly digested and turned into human resources.

You must know that the robbery of this chaos is not only the city, but also a large number of nobles and nobles.

Many of the luggage and materials that could not be taken away were burned and abandoned, but more belongings were still in the hands of the chaotic army.

If it can be wiped out, it is not a problem to make a windfall.

Jiang Yingfei

said quickly: “This is the arrangement for this subordinate. But does the general only attack Zhao County? What about Changshan County?”

Wouldn’t it be a pity to leave it alone?

Yi Yan shook his head: “It can’t be delayed. Within ten days, Wang Jun will definitely send troops!”

Not only was Jizhou staring at him, Wang Jun in the north had long been drooling.

How could you ignore the news that all letters were broken?

The Xianbei soldiers under him were best at rushing attacks. Within ten days, the army would come to the city.

The opponent has 100,000 cavalry, and he has less than 10,000 cavalry mixed, how can he grab it?

Now is not the time for Xu Xutuzhi, we must make a thunderous strike!

Jiang Ying is also a person who is proficient in military affairs. Hearing this, his face changed a little: “But the thief has more than 30,000 soldiers, and it is the first victory

. There are many strategies, one of which is to occupy more Jizhou cities while Wang Jun is sending troops.

However, a decision is a decision, and the specific command is still in Yi Yan’s hands.

As long as he orders, the tactics will be adjusted accordingly.

“The number of the enemy’s horse army is quite large. After the victory, it is very likely to escape from Jizhou. If you want to stop it, you must start a decisive battle with them as soon as possible.” Yi Yan’s voice was cold, without any hesitation.

This is not only a matter of land occupation, but 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, and if it was just to occupy the city, it would be taken away sooner or later.

What if he took the title of Governor of Jizhou because of his military exploits?

That would make a big difference!

Now Jizhou has no one to lead the army, and even the prefect is in jeopardy.

Delaying at this moment is the biggest loss of victory!

Hearing what Yiyan said, Jiang Ying took a deep breath: “The general is very worried. It’s just that our army is far inferior to the thieves!”

This is not a warrior from Bingzhou, but just training, Recruits who have never been on the battlefield.

Compared with the chaos army, it is not much stronger.

What’s more, the number is only 7,000, which is less than one-third of the enemy.

Can you win in such a hasty fight?

“It’s okay. You can try this battle.” Yi Yan looked at the decaying city wall beside him, and replied in a deep voice.

When cleaning up Zhao County’s bandits, Yi Yan actually made a lot of preparations before the battle, and also carefully investigated his opponents.

The leader of the chaotic soldiers is also a general.

A clansman who is far away from his homeland, never defected to the lord, but is a disaster in Zhouzhou County.

This made Yi Yan arouse a strong fighting spirit in his chest. He was no longer the stunned young man who would say “persuade those who are troubled clansmen to join the lord”.

The leader of such a chaotic army, not only can’t be comforted, but also should be killed!

If it is left unchecked, it is not good that it will have an impact on other clansmen.

Under the arrangement of the lord, Bingzhou finally accepted the Jie people and let them live a stable life in Shangdang, just like other citizens.

If things change, who can save them?

This leader is not a simple person!

For the sake of the lord and for the sake of Bingzhou, we must eliminate hidden dangers as soon as possible!
