Winter left and spring came.
Ten thousand flowers blossomed.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
The opening of the royal library caused a sensation in the country, attracting countless Humble Class students to travel thousands of miles to read.
For a time, Luoyang City was filled with people.
The location of the Royal Academy had been chosen.
The Ministry of Works had sent out almost all of their work and spent a lot of effort to survey the 1,234 counties of the country.
Choosing the most suitable location to build the Royal Academy. The news that the academy was free of charge completely ignited the country's thirst for knowledge.
The smart merchants started to build shops beside the bookstores of the counties that did not even have the raw materials for stone and wood.
The national infrastructure boom had officially begun.
With the relentless efforts of the 400,000 young and strong Yellow Turban captives, the official road from Luoyang to Liangzhou was completely opened up. It was nearly three thousand miles long.
It was made of a mixture of sand, rocks, and soil. After being hammered with a heavy stone hammer, the quality could be said to be very high.
Originally, it would take ten days to ride a horse from Luoyang to Guzang. Now, it had been reduced to five days. The time spent on the road had been greatly reduced.
General Lu Zhi temporarily entrusted Xun Yu with the responsibility of being the chief assistant of the cabinet. He returned to the army and took charge of the Royal Forest Guards as the General of the Guards.
Marshal Huangfu Song temporarily entrusted Xi Zhicai with the responsibility of being the chief of the cabinet. He returned to the army and commanded the 100,000 Three Rivers Five Schools as the West Conquering Grand Marshal.
General Zhu Rong temporarily left his position as the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War and was replaced by Huang Zhong. He returned to the army and commanded the 200,000 troops of the Three Rivers Five Schools as the General of the Flying Cavalry.
The three military bigwigs immediately marched north after drinking the Emperor's wine.
……
Outside Liangzhou City.
It was time for the three armies to split up.
"We'll meet again in the future!"
General Lu led the 100,000-strong Royal Guards and headed north without looking back.
In this battle, he no longer just wanted to intimidate the Xianbei Royal Court. He wanted to use his weapons to kill!
"Yizhen, take care!"
General Zhu Rong cupped his hands and bid farewell before heading northwest.
In this battle, he was facing Hunye Chanyu, who had a tough attitude towards the Great Han. The moment the two armies came into contact, it would be the decisive moment.
Two hundred thousand fully-equipped Three Rivers Five Schools, facing five hundred thousand Xiongnu fluxers, the pressure was still there.
"We're the only ones left. Xiangxi, let's go!”
Marshal Huangfu ordered casually.
In this battle, he was facing the Xianling Qiang, Wuhuan, and other insignificant grassland tribes.
If the war started, there would only be one outcome.
Pushing horizontally!
……
On the way.
Lu Zhi sat in the middle of the army, staring at the distribution map of the Xianbei Royal Court, thinking about the fastest route to kill.
The palace guards.
Different from the Three Rivers Five Schools, the entire army was cavalry.
It was completely possible to quickly crush the Xianbei tribes with all their equipment and then use their mobility to fight in all directions.
"General, outside the camp, your student is seeking an audience!”
"Who is it?"
"Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei!"
"Hmm?"
" Gongsun Zan?" Lu Zhi frowned." Gongsun Zan is the general of Youzhou. What are you doing here? Please come in."”
"Teacher!"
"Master!"
Gongsun Zan and a man with big ears walked into the main tent and stood solemnly with his hands down. He could also see that the man's arms were especially long, reaching his knees.
His appearance was very unique.
"Did something happen in Youzhou Province?"
"Teacher, there are students here. It's quiet and peaceful!”
Gongsun Zan said proudly.
In recent years, the number of invasions by foreign tribes in Youzhou Prefecture had been greatly reduced. This was all thanks to the butcher's knife he wielded.
"Then what are you doing here?"
"This student heard that teacher is leading the army to the north, so I came to follow you and serve you!”
"Nonsense!"
Lu Zhi slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at his nose and scolded,"You're the general of Youzhou Province's military. After you leave Youzhou Province, what if an enemy invades Youzhou Province?”
"Master, please calm down. Senior Brother Gongsun has left all the Youzhou Army in Youzhou City and only brought over 100 white cavalries here.”
Liu Bei took two steps forward and said respectfully,""Besides, the country has changed, and you have become the chief assistant of the cabinet. You are the number one person under the emperor, and you have a high position.
This time, my teacher is going north to attack Xianbei, and Youzhou is very close. If Senior Martial Brother and I don't come to pay our respects, we will be ungrateful!”
"Liu Bei, why are you here?”
"Teacher, I obtained some military merits in the Battle of the Yellow Turban and was appointed as the county captain of Anxi County. Later, I was blackmailed and made difficult for by the Overseer. In a fit of anger, my sworn brother beat the Overseer and couldn't be an official, so he went to seek refuge with Senior Brother Gongsun!”
"After being extorted by the Overseer, he reported to the Imperial Court and fled after using force.”
"Teacher's lesson is correct, but at that time, the Ten Generals were still wreaking havoc in the country, and I had no way to complain, so I resorted to this method!”
"Forget it."
"You chased me here to participate in the northern expedition?" Lu Zhi waved his hand and shook his head.”
"Teacher, please be wise!"×2
"Since you're here, there's no reason to chase you away. Besides, the Xianbei army is lacking manpower.”
"The students are here!"
"You, under my guidance, you haven't changed at all. Sooner or later, you will die on the battlefield.”
"Thank you, teacher!"
"Praise you? Shameless thing."
"Hehe!"
"I'll give you the position of a lieutenant in the former army. Report to the former army yourself. Now, get out.”
"Thank you, teacher!"
Gongsun Zan scratched his head and quickly ran away. If he didn't leave now, he might be killed by his furious teacher.
A few years ago, when he was studying, the teachers used sticks to teach their students a lesson.
"Xuande!"
"The students are here!"
"Which army do you want to join?"
"I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to stay by my teacher's side and grind tea for him!”
"It's too materialistic. It's not a good thing.”
Lu Zhi had been in the army for many years and was far away from scheming. However, he still had the ability to see through the students 'thoughts. He sighed and said,"Go to the front line and transport the rations and supplies. When the northern expedition is over, I will ask for merit for you. You will be exempted from your past crimes and recover your innocence.”
"Student…as you command!"
Liu Bei clenched his fists under his sleeves, clenching and loosening them. He endured his dissatisfaction and accepted the order with a smile.
They were both students.
Why was Gongsun Zan able to lead an army alone as a lieutenant, while he could only be a lowly grain transport officer?
However, the decree issued by his teacher, the chief assistant of the court and the general of the palace guards, did not allow him to question it at all!
He turned around.
Liu Bei's face was extremely ferocious.
