The Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo, together with Yizhou local powerful Yong Kai and others, joined forces to cause chaos.

The rebels' familiarity with the southern tip of Yizhou, their advantageous location, and the influence of miasma poisonous insects all put the Yizhou army at a disadvantage.

After the Nanman rebellion in Yizhou could not be quelled for a long time, and the Yizhou garrison fell into a passive position, Liu Chen decided to directly send more troops into Yizhou.

It is naturally the fastest to mobilize troops from Jingzhou.

If we mobilize troops from Liangzhou, we still need to cross the Shu Road and other high mountains.

Even though Hanzhong in Yizhou is now under the control of the Han army, the journey is long, rugged and risky.

Xiangyang, Jingzhou, can directly enter the Jianghan Plain, which is a vast area.

The highest general in the Jingzhou front army is the right general Zhang Jia, who also serves as the governor of Jingzhou and oversees the affairs of the Jingzhou army.

The troops stationed in Jingzhou were Liu Biao's original generals. Now that Liu Biao retired and became an idle king, they naturally fell into the hands of Liu Chen.

And Liu Bei's surrendered generals, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and other generals, were actually stationed in Jingzhou.

Although Liu Bei's surrendered generals later surrendered too late, they did not participate in many battles and did not receive many military honors and promotions.

But after Liu Chen ascended the throne as emperor, he still gave them high-level positions in the army. Even if the talents are not buried, the generals are not treated badly, and the generals are not disappointed.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both Zhenzi-level generals, and they are better than those below. Make them very satisfied.

Jingzhou has a total of seven counties and more than 100 counties, so the required military strength is naturally extremely high. There are now more than 300,000 and nearly 400,000 troops stationed there.

There are both land and water armies.

Liu Biao's original generals numbered nearly 200,000, belonging to the original Changshan Army generals. In fact, there were more than 100,000. There were more than 100,000 other generals who surrendered or were deployed by other armies.

The garrison of such strong troops and fierce generals made the country and the people peaceful and peaceful near Jingzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and no one dared to cause trouble.

Even the river thieves who caused trouble in the Yangtze River have no choice but to change careers now.

When Zhang Zha received Liu Chen's order, he immediately mobilized troops from various counties to Xiangyang.

Then let his generals gather together to discuss who will lead the troops into Yizhou for reinforcements.

Zhang Zha, the commander-in-chief of the army, naturally cannot leave his post without permission, but there are so many powerful generals in Jingzhou that he doesn't have to worry about support.

When they learned that the Jingzhou Army was preparing to enter Yizhou for reinforcements, many generals were enthusiastic and did not refuse or settle for enjoyment.

Everyone was vying to take over this important military task, and many generals even issued military orders. If you fail, let me know!

Ever since Liu Chen ended the troubled times where the heroes were divided and unified the entire Han Dynasty, the chaos among the princes has stopped.

After Liu Chen ascended the throne and became emperor, dispatched troops and generals from all over the world, arranged troops and formations, and protected the safety of states and counties, even mountain bandits, river thieves, and Xiaoxiao could no longer survive.

This allows the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and the country and the people are safe.

But for the leading generals, they lost the opportunity to obtain military honors. How can one be promoted without military merit?

Even if you manage the army well, train troops well, or obtain meager military merit in military competitions, it is not enough to promote high-level generals.

For ordinary soldiers, they only need meager military merit to be promoted. But for high-level generals, they need to accumulate great military merits before they can be promoted.

Just like upgrading in online games, the further you go, the higher the level, the more experience points you need to upgrade!

Therefore, this mission to aid the Nanman rebellion in Yizhou made many military generals see opportunities and the hope of promotion!

As for whether they will be defeated because of their lack of strength, even if they rush to rescue them. They didn't think about it at all.

Now all the generals know very well that Liu Chen is simply the son of destiny. He is favored by God. As long as the soldiers who are loyal to Liu Chen will receive ability bonuses.

Among the generals in Jingzhou, there are many first-class and superb generals.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two originally superb generals, have directly advanced to the level of peerless generals since receiving the ability bonus!

At this time, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other Liu Bei's surrendered generals finally understood why they were defeated by Changshan's army and fled in the Battle of Guandu and other battles.

It's not that they are weak, it's that Chang Shanjun is cheating!

Faced with all the losers from the Chang Shan Army, how could they compare under normal circumstances? It is normal to be defeated and captured!

This made Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shi Ci and other generals work hard to achieve military success and be promoted.

Looking at the world, among the generals loyal to the Han Emperor, they are probably the only ones who are at the level of peerless generals, but their military rank is the lowest, right?

It’s also because they were stationed in Jingzhou because the weather was so smooth and the country and the people were at peace. Not even a thief made trouble.

Like Yizhou and Jiaozhou, there are barbarians in trouble.

Jiaozhou was dealt with by the Jiangdong Army, and there was no chance for them to intervene, as Zhou Yu and Lu Su, the marshals who planned the battle and won the battle thousands of miles away, had no chance of intervening.

Now in Yizhou, they finally have a place to use them!

After Zhang Jia thought deeply, he finally decided to let Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals rush to the rescue. The main reason is that Xu Shu managed Jingzhou Jiangxia well and gave him a favor.

What's more, the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are peerless and powerful generals, and there will be no big abnormalities in supporting Yizhou.

Whether it's love or stability, they are the best choice.

This surprised Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals, and made them feel helpless and regretful for the other Jingzhou guards.

After driving away the irrelevant personnel, Zhang Zha left behind the generals who rushed to aid Yizhou. Looking at Guan Zhang and other generals below, he opened his jaw and said:

"This time to help Yizhou, you not only need to support the Yizhou army in countering the rebellion, but you also need to find the secret Silk Road connecting Yizhou and Shan.’"

After hearing about the secret silk road, Guan Zhang was a little surprised!

"General, is it possible that you want to launch troops against the Shan Kingdom?"Guan Yu asked in confusion.

Liu Chen planned the whole world and wanted to push things around the world. Do you knowThere were many people, but they were all high-level military and political officials.

Although there are some guesses among middle- and high-level generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they are not so sure.

Moreover, Jingzhou is peaceful and the people are safe. It is surrounded by Yizhou and Jiaozhou. It cannot participate in the frontline layout at all, so it does not fully understand the interests and benefits.

If it is the Yizhou front line, Jiaozhou front line, Xiliang, Northeast Liaodong and other places, the middle and high-level people on the front line will make guesses because of the arrangements for sending troops to war!

Zhang Jia did not hide anything, nodded and said:"It is not to mobilize troops against the Shan country, but to recharge our batteries and plan for the entire world!" Guan Zhang did not understand the word world, and after Zhang Jia explained, they took a breath of air.!

The world under the Han Dynasty was already extremely vast, but I didn’t expect that the Han Emperor would plot the entire world!

This is to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty infinitely and push across the Eurasian and African continents!

"I understand! If we can find the secret silk road from Yizhou to Shan, we can continue to move westward and attack other countries!"

Zhang Fei clapped his hands and said with a sudden realization.

He opened his jaw and nodded, explaining:

"Behind the Shan Kingdom (Xiandian) is the Shendu Kingdom (Yindu). There is a vast Ganges Plain nearby. The land is more fertile than the land in Nanyang, Jingxiang, and the yield per mu is more abundant.

However, according to intelligence, the Shan Kingdom is surrounded by tropical rainforests and dangerous mountain peaks, where miasma poisonous insects are everywhere, making it difficult for humans to survive and to enter the Shendu Kingdom from the west.

Therefore, the layout of His Majesty and his military advisers is actually to advance from the Xiliang front with the land force, and the Jiaozhou Jiangdong Army and the navy to bypass Southeast Asia and enter the Indian Ocean from the Strait of Malacca.

By the way, it doesn't matter if you don't know about Southeast Asia, the Strait of Malacca and the Indian Ocean. You just need to know the way to the west. The south side can only be passed by water, and it is difficult to attack by land."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly, but looked puzzled.

"General, if we can't attack westward, why are we looking for a secret silk road? Anyway, it can’t pass through tropical rainforests and dangerous mountain peaks."

Zhang Fei said with a depressed look on his face.

"Ordinary people can’t cross tropical rainforests and dangerous mountains, but our abilities are enhanced……"

He opened his jaw and coughed slightly and said:"With God's blessing on our ability, we may not be unable to cross the rainforest!

Think about it, if there is a road to the west, our Jingzhou army can directly set off and become a springboard for the westward march! These are all It’s military merit!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei understood!

Zhang Jia wants to find or open a road through the tropical rainforest and dangerous mountains that can be passed by the army!

Directly from Shan country, attack Shendu country!

"As long as you find this secret Silk Road and open up a path to the west, you will be doing your best!

He opened his jaw and looked at the generals and said encouragingly:"It is not impossible to go further!""

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals were immediately excited!

They are at the Zhenzi level. If they go one step further, they will be at the Zhengzi level!

"The final general will definitely go all out to wipe out the Nanman rebellion in Yizhou, and then find the secret silk road. He will definitely fulfill his mission!"

Guan Yu cupped his hands and said.

Zhang Fei also cupped his hands and said:"It will definitely fulfill its mission!"

He opened his jaw and nodded with a pleased smile.

Next,

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the three generals Taishi Ci mobilized their troops in the school field and led an army of 100,000 to march to Yizhou.

This troop strength is already very terrifying!

The Han army has increased its ability At the level of one against five, the tiger and wolf divisions are like wolves and tigers.

This 100,000 army is equivalent to the combat power of 500,000!

Although the Yizhou Army was held back by the Nanman and could not quickly put down the rebellion, it did not mean that Falling at a disadvantage. They are just in a stalemate with each other.

Even if Jingzhou only leads an army of 50,000, it can break the balance in this stalemate and wipe out the Nanman rebellion in one fell swoop.

Now Jingzhou has a reinforcement of 100,000 troops, plus The joining of peerless generals like Guan and Zhang was obviously not just to counter the rebellion.

The greater possibility was to find the secret Silk Road and then find a way to open up a way to the west.

Naturally, it would be impossible to dispatch an army of 100,000 people immediately. The relevant procedures for baggage, logistical support, troop mobilization declaration, communication with Yizhou, etc. were completed.

It took more than half a month, and generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei finally led their troops to set off.

The army advanced by land and water, taking advantage of the flow of water in the Yangtze River Basin. It is convenient to advance.

It is the end of July, the hottest season of summer.

However, with the bonus of abilities, the physical fitness of the soldiers is extremely high, their resistance to heat has also been improved, and they are not afraid of the scorching sun!

It’s just that When the army passed by Yiling, generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici suddenly recalled the past and thought of Liu Bei!

"If my elder brother's spirit is in heaven and sees our current life, he can finally rest in peace!"Guan Yu sighed and said.

Zhang Fei nodded:"The one that eldest brother is most worried about is us. Now that we surrender to His Majesty according to his wishes and lead our former brothers to gain a firm foothold, he will definitely be very pleased."

In addition to Guan and Zhang Taishi Ci, many soldiers who came from the Yellow Turban Army also had some nostalgia for

Liu Bei. No matter what other people think of Liu Bei, he is indeed sincere to his brothers!

Especially the two brothers Guan and Zhang, after Liu Bei's death In order to give them a way out, he even did not hesitate to slander his reputation and did not even give up his posthumous name. If it were not for Liu Chen's Renyi, he would not have added insult to injury and instead gave Liu Bei a generous burial. Liu Bei's reputation in future generations would not be very good..

This is also the reason why Liu Bei's surrendered generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, etc. can be loyal to Liu Chen. This matter was indeed done very kindly!

In the memory of Guan Zhang and other generals, the warships sailed away from Yiling.

Just as the Jingzhou army rushed to help When I was in Yizhou, the time came to August.

The much-anticipated and long-awaited rural examination finally arrived.

The rural examination was regarded as a selection examination for promotion, and only Mao could participate.

Liu Chen's imperial examination in this life had some details. There are slight changes in the above. But in general, they are still similar.

Scholars who pass the provincial examination can be called Juren.

Generally speaking, those who are Juren can become officials. After all, the examination brings together top talents from all over the country, and it is extremely difficult to pass the examination..

If you are unable to pass the joint examination for a long time, it is inevitable to become an official directly as a juren. You only need to pass some small tests.

Historically, people such as Hai Rui and others were unable to go further. They gave up the scientific examination and directly Become an official as a Juren.

Of course, the future of a Juren and a Jinshi, and the height they can reach, are naturally very different.

However, for some common people and children from poor families, they only need to become an official and change their destiny. They have achieved their goal.

Therefore, the provincial examination is naturally extremely important to them. In this generation, Liu Chen carried out the imperial examination. Although it is only the first session. But according to Liu Chen's decrees and rules, the scholars of the world are very interested in the imperial examination. They are also very familiar with the rules of the Provincial Examination.

They understand that as long as they pass the Provincial Examination and become a Juren, even if they cannot go further and become a Jinshi in the National Examination, they can still enter the official career. Of course, this is for Maocai who have been promoted in the selection examination. As for those who have been promoted through the selection examination.

Scholars who failed to pass the selection examination had no choice but to continue working hard next year. Of the nearly ten million scholars who participated in the selection examination, more than three million became Maocai in the end. This was also the number of candidates who took the provincial examination this time.

So the provincial examination began After that, although the number of candidates in various states and counties dropped sharply, it was still more popular than the selection examination.

Many scholars who had no reference even invited their friends to come and watch. They were all guessing that this time the provincial examination would fail again. How many candidates are there?
