Chapter 1333 Choice (2)(1/2)
The Han army recaptured Luoyang, forcing the Wei monarchs and ministers to move their capital again, ah no, it should be to patrol farther east again.
This incident not only set off a storm in the Wei court, but the aftershocks of the news also affected most of Guandong.
It is even foreseeable that the aftershocks will continue to spread until they reach Wu State.
A person as sharp as Cao Zhi knows that the situation is irreversible and immediately seeks a way out.
And even if they are not as good as Cao Zhi, the Cao family has already fallen into confusion and doubt - is there really hope for the great Wei?
The loss of Luoyang was a huge blow to the entire Wei State.
But the bigger blow was that the Wei Dynasty was forced to move its capital twice in a row, and its fear of thieves was clearly revealed.
One has to wonder how much courage the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty still had to face the rebel army.
As for General Cao's incompetence in pulling his hips this time, it further highlighted Sima Taifu's ability and excellence.
Although Sima Taifu failed to capture Taiyuan, he at least captured Shangdang.
Although Luoyang was lost, at least they defeated the elite cavalry of the Han army, which was said to be invincible in the world, in Youzhou and killed five thousand thieves.
At the same time, a large number of horses and livestock were captured, which was a great victory.
Instead of pinning their hopes on Sima Yi, more and more people are turning their attention to the west in the direction of Chang'an.
Could it be that the Han Dynasty is really trying to revive itself?
Anyone who knows the importance of Luoyang knows what kind of situation Guandong will face next.
This cannot be said to be exactly the same as the eve of Qiang Qin's unification of the six kingdoms, but it can only be said that there is not much difference.
Even to the south of Wei State, there was also a Wu State similar to Qi State.
No, Qi State just stayed out of the matter, but Wu State wanted to coordinate with Han State at any time.
Yang Hu, who had been studying behind closed doors for some time, was also shocked and speechless after receiving the news.
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel deep admiration for my sister.
After returning from Han, he originally thought about traveling to Hebei and taking the opportunity to observe Taifu Sima.
Let's see if Taifu Sima is really as rumored, he is a pillar of the Wei Dynasty.
I just didn't expect that my sister's scolding would actually scold me very badly.
Now it seems that what my sister said to me was indeed far-sighted.
So, he went to find Yang Huiyu again and said:
"Luoyang has been lost, and the general trend of the world is indeed, as my sister said, irreversible."
Yang Huiyu knew her brother well. When she saw Yang Hu say this, she asked:
"What do you want to do?"
"It's better that my sister knows me." Yang Hu first flattered Yang Huiyu, and then said:
"In my opinion, if the Han Dynasty captured Luoyang, it would be equivalent to gaining the world's chess eye."
"I want to see the chess players, and then see the players."
Yang Huiyu's originally peaceful face was slightly disturbed: "Have you made a decision?"
Yang Hu nodded first, then shook his head:
"Last time I went back to Chang'an, I was unsettled. I was in a hurry and didn't get to know the Han Dynasty carefully. This time, I want to go there and have a good look."
"Just traveling?"
Yang Huiyu knew Yang Hu, but Yang Hu didn't know his sister.
At this time, I heard something was wrong with her tone, so I couldn't help but asked weirdly:
"Sister, it sounds like you have something on your mind?"
Yang Huiyu's face looked a little unnatural:
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just a woman. Most of what I said to you before was brought up by my aunt (i.e. Xin Xianying) when she was chatting with me in private."
"You went to Han Dynasty last time and visited your aunt's ancestral land. If you really want to go this time, you'd better go see your aunt and see what suggestions she has."
Yang Hu nodded: "Even if sister doesn't say anything, I will go. Let's see if my aunt wants me to deliver the letter."
Although the Xin family in Longxi has declined, it is still under the rule of the Han Dynasty.
And some of his children have already participated in the imperial examinations of the Han Dynasty.
But what will happen to the Xin family in Yingchuan of Wei State in the end is still unknown.
Having made his decision, Yang Hu no longer hesitated.
The Yang family of Shandong was also very concerned about the affairs of Luoyang and Qiao County.
More importantly, compared to the last taboo temptation.
This time, Shandong Yangshi's attitude has changed, and they need to urgently open up channels to the west.
Yang Hu, who had been to Chang'an once and even dealt with someone like Feng, was naturally the best choice.
Therefore, it is only natural for Yang Hu to go west again.
However, when Yang Hu went to see his aunt Xin Xianying, Xin Xianying reminded Yang Huiyu:
"Last time, you escorted the Xiahou clan to Chang'an. It was out of friendship, so you will naturally receive preferential treatment."
"But this time is different from that time. You went here this time because you wanted something. In addition, you rejected Feng Mingwen's solicitation."
"With this person's current status, even if he doesn't care, there will be people below who don't like you. If you go on this trip, the treatment you receive will be much worse than before."
Yang Hu nodded and smiled bitterly:
"Thank you, aunt, for reminding me. My nephew is already mentally prepared."
As he spoke, he pretended to smile lightly:
"Actually, the last time my nephew went there, he wanted to enter the Royal Academy in Chang'an to study."
"I heard that there are many great Confucian scholars there, and even Feng Mingwen brought arithmetic and the study of things from the mountain gate."
"This trip, in addition to traveling, is also a chance to see if I can fulfill my wish."
After the development of the Royal College over the years, the teaching staff of the college has changed from what it used to be.
In addition, the Han Dynasty continued to regain lost ground, and its momentum was soaring.
When the emperor moved the capital to Chang'an, he must have the world in mind.
Therefore, the Royal Academy naturally needs to keep pace with the times, and has released limited quotas to allow non-academic students to pass the academic assessment and enter the academy to audit.
Of course, most of the auditors came to listen to the classics explained by great Confucian scholars.
After all, without a certain foundation in arithmetic and studying things, it is basically impossible to understand them.
"Oh? So you already have an idea?"
Xin Xianying was a little surprised, and then asked doubtfully:
"I have heard the name of the Royal Academy a long time ago. It is probably similar to Taixue, right? You are coming from Wei State, can you go in?"
After thinking about it for a while, it suddenly dawned on me:
"Maybe you want to ask your uncle for help?"
Although the college can pass additional assessments to audit, in fact, the number of seats is limited, and even if you are an audit, you must have a recommendation.
The Xiahou family is considered a descendant of the Han Dynasty.
If they are willing to help, it shouldn't be a problem.
Who would have expected that Yang Hu hesitated for a moment and then said:
"If it doesn't work out in the end, I'll naturally ask my uncle if there is any way."
It is different from what outsiders think.
Yang Hu also went there and found out that his uncle had not served as an official in the Han Dynasty in these years.
He even had a rather bad relationship with Feng Mingwen.
Anyway, Yang Hu himself knew that whenever Feng Mingwen was mentioned, his uncle's face would look very ugly.
Therefore, in Yang Hu's mind, Xiahou was not the first choice - of course it was possible to go to Xiahou Mao, but Xiahou Mao had just defected to the Han Dynasty and was not yet stable, so looking for him might not be of much use.
Seeing Yang Hu's appearance, Xin Xianying couldn't help but feel a little strange:
"Besides your uncle, do you have a better way?"
Yang Hu hesitated a little, not knowing what he was worried about. After thinking for a while, he decided to confess to his aunt:
"My aunt also knows that my nephew once visited the Prince's Mansion in Jibei after returning from Chang'an."
"Actually, my nephew's trip was to deliver a message for Feng Mingwen. My nephew had heard with his own ears that the King of Jibei called Feng Mingwen his uncle."
Xin Xianying's face suddenly showed surprise, which could even be said to be horror:
To be continued...
