A sharp whistle sounded, and then someone shouted: "Rest!"

Tongguan, which was originally busy, immediately caused a small sigh.

"Don't run around, rest on the spot, don't drink raw water, there is boiled water over there, don't defecate in the open..."

The civilian husband had already sat down to rest, but the students who came from Nanxiang still had to circle around the area they were responsible for, and they took the trouble to remind them.

Until you are sure everyone has listened, you can find a cleaner place to sit down.

There were already a few people sitting there, and when they saw each other sitting down, someone came over:

"Brother Li, your speed is much faster than ours. It seems that you will get a lot of points this time."

The man known as Brother Li waved his hand and made a "shu" sound:

"It's just a hard job. I heard that those civilians helped the Wei thieves pull a bronze man the year before last. They have experience. Listening to them explain how to do it will be much faster than trying to figure it out on our own."

Speaking of Wei thieves, some people couldn't help but smack their lips:

"It's a pity that we were not selected for the Martial Arts Hall. I heard that the seniors of the Martial Arts Hall who are one year above us are now at least candidates for the military camp with an actual command of 200 people."

"Even if we have civilian husbands now, we only have about a hundred people. We really can't compare with others."

If you truly become a military lord of the upper camp, you will have truly jumped through the ranks in this life.

The treatment in the Han army was extremely high.

The salary received by a military commander is enough to support a family of five.

It is equivalent to future generations graduating from school and working, and after passing the internship period, they can support the whole family.

Of course, the risk is extremely high.

But this is not the end, but only the beginning.

The most important thing is that in times of war, if you want to be superior to others, joining the army and doing meritorious service is the fastest way.

"People gamble with their lives, how can it be the same?"

Some people don't think so, "If it were me, I wouldn't necessarily want to enter the martial arts hall."

"You have to be selected. Besides, if the martial arts hall really wants to select you, how dare you not go?"

Those who objected curled their lips and stopped talking.

If something like joining the army really falls on you, you can't refuse it.

Otherwise, overnight, not only will he be expelled from the academy, but he will also be forcibly recruited into the army, starting from a top soldier.

It's not impossible to hide one's clumsiness in the academy, but the rules in the academy are strict in entering and strict in exiting.

There are certain requirements for each skill.

Although it is not required to master all of the six arts of a gentleman, you must at least master the most basic things.

For example, Shanzhang started his career with "number". If you are not proficient in "number", how can you get out of the academy?

If you want to pass various tests without exerting your best efforts, you must be a genius.

But where do so many geniuses come from in this world?

"Brother Liu, what do you think? If you had a choice, would you rather enter the martial arts hall, or would you rather be like this?"

Brother Liu looked into the distance and said quietly:

"If given the opportunity, who wouldn't want to enter the martial arts hall? How can a man be born between heaven and earth and lose everything he has learned?"

"Besides, after leaving the academy, you have to enter the martial arts hall to study for three more years, and we have to work hard in the local area for three years."

As he spoke, he picked up a clod of soil beside him and threw it away, as if throwing away his regrets:

"Furthermore, the path to promotion at the Martial Arts Hall is wider than ours. After all, people in the military can be transferred to local officials."

"And it is extremely difficult for us to enter the military. Even if we have the opportunity to abandon literature and join the military, how can we compare with those seniors who came out of the martial arts hall?"

Some people were a little dissatisfied: "That's not necessarily the case. How about joining the army in Dingyuan?"

Brother Liu was not angry either, he just smiled calmly:

"In the past four hundred years, how many Ban Dingyuan did the Han Dynasty have?"

He tilted his chin up and pointed in a direction:

"Did you see that there is a backward leader from Hedong over there? He has the same name as the mountain chief back then."

"Besides, he is from the Pei family in Hedong. Do you know what he is doing now? He is doing similar work to us."

"We were leading a civilian to repair Tongguan. Before we arrived, he had been running around above Tongguan throughout the winter just to check the topography of Tongguan."

"They say they want to learn cartography from the seniors in the army and draw a qualified topographic map of Tongguan."

"If you don't know him, I bet you wouldn't be able to recognize him in person. He is from a noble family."

"So I said, how can Ban Dingyuan be so good? The mountain chief once said, if you can rule a hundred people but not get what they want, how can you rule the world?"

"This is the reason why everyone has to take exams for three years. It is better to do a good job in practical matters first and then pass the exams."

Some people who were originally a little arrogant and reluctant to lead the peasants to work finally stopped talking after hearing these words.

Brother Liu looked to the north of Tongguan, where the rumbling river passed through Luoyang.

It is different from the excitement in Guanzhong.

Luoyang is in chaos throughout the winter.

During the emperor's Eastern Expedition, the Guanzhong army was defeated in Luoyang, and then Cao Rui died in Xuchang...

Luoyang, the nominal capital of Wei State, had not had time to adapt to the arrival of more than 100,000 troops from Guanzhong.

Then the news that the new emperor ascended the throne in Xuchang plunged Luoyang into panic and confusion.

Fortunately, Sima Yi could be regarded as a veteran of three dynasties, and as an auxiliary minister of two dynasties, he also relied on the support of Hanoi, which was only across the river from Henan.

After the beginning of spring, after it was confirmed that the Shu captives had no intention of crossing the ancient Xiaohan Road and Zhi Pass, the people of Luoyang finally calmed down a little.

After the emperor ascended the throne in Xuchang, there was no definite news about when he would return to Luoyang.

There are even rumors that Emperor Wei moved the capital to Xuchang because Luoyang was too close to the Shu captives.

In other words, return to the land of Wei and Chang in order to revive it.

It was under this situation that Sima Yi took charge of Luoyang temporarily as an auxiliary minister and a tutor.

Naturally, the palace cannot be lived in. After all, Taifu Sima is an old loyal minister of the Wei State.

But given his high status, it is the most normal thing for him to run a government and have the right to appoint officials in the government.

The news that the false prime minister of Shu had died of illness finally passed through the tight defense lines of Han and Wei and reached Sima Yi's hands.

"Sir, the news is absolutely true. I heard that Thief Feng is currently in charge of all affairs in Guanzhong."

Master Sima hurried in from outside. Before he could take a breath, he couldn't wait to tell Sima Yi the news.

Since the Fuhua case was forced to remain silent for so many years, with the new emperor's accession to the throne, and the current changes in the situation in Wei.

Master Sima was finally able to participate in the affairs of Taifu's residence openly and openly.

When Sima Yi heard the news that Zhuge Kongming had died of illness, he kept sitting in a dazed posture, his eyes dull and his face expressionless.

After a long time, he sighed:

"On that day when Zhuge Kongming sent an envoy to the army, I asked him about his food and drink. I found out that he had many things to do but had little food. At that time, I expected that his fate would not be long."

"But I didn't expect that he would die so quickly."

When Master Sima heard what his master said, he also said with regret:

"The Ge thieves must have known that he was going to die soon, so he has been eager to ask for battle many times. He is really full of tricks."

"If it weren't for Na Cao... the late emperor was too impatient and forced me to fight against the Ge thieves, and only followed my original plan to stalemate with the Shu thieves."

“It’s still unclear what the current situation in Guanzhong is like!”

Sima Yi's eyes flashed, but in the end he shook his head:

"I could predict his life, but not his death. Besides, Zhuge Kongming was anxious, and the late emperor was equally anxious. Didn't he know that his illness could not be delayed any longer?"

All I can say is that this is God's will.

To say the least, if it had not been for the late emperor's excessive persecution, he would have been a veteran of the three dynasties of the Wei Dynasty, no, he would have been a veteran of the four dynasties of the Wei Dynasty.

As a veteran of the four dynasties of the Wei Dynasty, how could he have taken such a step?

Everything is God's will.

Although Master Sima said that the responsibility for guarding the battle in Guanzhong was placed on Cao Rui.

But he also knew that after all, his master would personally lead this battle, and it would be bad to talk too much.

So I changed the topic:

"Sir, there is news from Hebei that Feng Mingwen sent Wei Wenchang across the river to capture Shangdang. What should we do?"

Regarding this matter, Sima Yi was calm and calm:
To be continued...
