    In the future, when escorting grain and grass, just equip the team with some such weapons, it can have a great deterrent effect on the enemy. Cao Cao, who was originally somewhat disapproving of Liu Bei, chose to cooperate with him. Not only that, even Jiangdong  Sun Quan was also among Cao Cao's allies. After all, the Liang Kingdom was too strong, so strong that it was intimidating. Facing the Liang Kingdom's army, it was difficult to resist, especially one that could directly blow up the city gate.  Cao Cao couldn't think of a solution in a short time even if he opened the weapon. The only way was to completely block the city gate with big rocks and not give the Xiliang army a chance.  The retreat route of the soldiers and civilians in the city is blocked, and the morale of the army is unstable. How to fight.  Fortunately, the Liang Kingdom was busy with scientific examinations and had no time to take care of other things, so it gave Cao Cao time to prepare. Under the stimulation of the Xiliang Army, Cao Cao also had the idea of ????upgrading Cao Jun's equipment and increased his control.  In the craftsman reward system, the families under Cao Cao's rule basically all have decades of foundation. They are not comparable to emerging forces like the Liang merchants, and the resources they control are particularly strong.  Under the encouragement system, Cao Jun invented a kind of kerosene. This kind of kerosene burns very violently. It is about ten times stronger than ordinary oil. It only needs a tiny spark to burn a huge amount of fire in an instant.  flame.  With the thunderbolt chariot and kerosene equipment, Cao Cao gained confidence when he faced the Xiliang army again. The Xiliang army could blow open the city gate, just to let the soldiers approach the city gate, and then he only needed to use the fire  The oil dropped was enough to disrupt the Xiliang army's attack.  The grand scientific examination in the capital is over. There are about a hundred talents selected. These people are all talented people who have emerged from all over the Liang Kingdom. Their writing skills are absolutely first-rate.  There are more than a hundred students in the main hall. Standing inside, they don't feel crowded at all.  "Your Majesty has arrived." After a high-pitched voice, Jia Rong walked out surrounded by the maids and walked slowly to the emperor's throne.  "Long live my emperor, long live the emperor." All the students bowed in greeting. This was also a compulsory course for them before entering the palace, the basic etiquette for meeting the emperor.  When Jia Rong saw the talented people in the room, he was also very happy and said with a smile: "Let's live together." "The topic of the scientific examination is people's livelihood." The gray-haired Cai Yong personally said the topic of the scientific examination.  Cai Yong is a well-known scholar in the country, especially in the Liang Kingdom. He has a status that ordinary literati cannot reach. It is said that the books on scientific research in the Liang Kingdom were compiled by Cai Yong himself. When future generations mention Cai Yong, they will definitely think of him.  contribute.  The students frowned and thought deeply. In front of Emperor Liang, they were already a little excited, and some even lost their usual composure.  After waiting patiently for an hour, a thick stack of answer sheets appeared in front of Jia Rong.  Jia Rong personally promulgated the rules. Talents who can stand out in various places can be named scholars. The first place is Jieyuan. The talents who can emerge from the scientific examination in the capital are Juren. The first place is Huiyuan, who will also be the Ming Dynasty  That system was directly copied and classified into levels of literati.  Most of the selected students entered the six departments, and even the juren were given official positions. In the eyes of ordinary people, a scholar was already a very important person. The Liang State had regulations that scholars should not meet the county magistrate.  There is no need to kneel down. As for Juren, he is already at the same level as the county magistrate, but he does not have an official position. Once Juren can soar in the scientific examination, his future is limitless, so officials will definitely not offend Juren.  The scientific examinations in the Liang Kingdom greatly stimulated the learning craze of the people under the rule to a certain extent. If you want to get ahead, you must first do business and secondly become an official. This has become an unwritten rule in the Liang Kingdom.  After the founding of the country, Jia Rong did not deliberately suppress businessmen, but instead improved the status of businessmen a lot. After all, businessmen played a very important role in many battles, and the source of intelligence was closely related to businessmen.  In the third year of Kaiyuan, Jia Rong once again proposed war in the court. At this time, the Liang Kingdom was already rich and powerful, and the land governed by the other three princes combined was not as good as the Liang Kingdom. More importantly, the Liang Kingdom was rich.  "Since I came to the throne, the weather has been smooth, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, but the rebels in Xuzhou, Jingzhou and other places are still there, the people are determined, and it is imminent to pacify Jingzhou." Jia Rong glanced at the officials in the palace and said slowly, sitting on the emperor  On the throne, one has the power to look down on all living beings, and at the same time has the responsibility to safeguard the world. Power and responsibility complement each other.  "The words of the Holy One are reasonable. Liu Bei in Jingzhou does not want to surrender. Instead, he hoards troops and horses in Nanjun and Jiangling and trains day and night. His intention is obvious. I think that we should send envoys to Jingzhou to persuade Liu Bei." Chen Lin said.  As an official of the Ministry of Rites, although Chen Lin is not the leader, her status in Luoyang is not low either.In charge of the newspaper office, he controls the public opinion in Luoyang. His name will appear in every newspaper. In Luoyang, everyone knows Chen Lin's name.  "Ai Qing's words are reasonable. The mission to Jingzhou is of great importance. The Ministry of Rites should seize the time to prepare." Jia Rong said calmly: "The three armies have not moved, food and grass go first. The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Finance should do a good job in the food and grass problem, so as not to arise."  "Wrong." "The Ministry of War is responsible for the main task of sending troops, dispatching generals and deploying troops, and will return the documents to me." At this time, Jia Rong can be said to be a complete hands-off shopkeeper, even in the war.  Everything is left to his ministers, and he is only responsible for the final decision. Looking at the past dynasties, there are only a handful of emperors like this.  However, Jia Rong's behavior not only did not make his officials feel arrogant, but also made them more dedicated. Among the three provinces and six ministries, there are many capable people. Being in a high position, naturally many people will peep. Once there is any omission, they will be reported immediately.  When it reached Jia Rong's ears, it was revealed that Jia Rong did not care about the affairs of the court. In fact, no matter how small, he could not hide the punishment from heaven.  To attack Jingzhou, the Ministry of War tentatively decided to have 60,000 soldiers and horses, and the commander was naturally drawn up by Jia Rong himself.  The situation in Jingzhou became critical. The Liang State enlisted veteran Huang Zhong and led 60,000 troops to Nanyang. The momentum spread throughout Jingzhou.  Liu Bei was frightened and hurriedly sent an envoy to Cao Jun.  As soon as Liu Beijun's envoy left, the envoy from Liang Kingdom came. The envoy to Jingzhou was Bing Yuan. Like Guan Ning, he was a well-known scholar. If Liu Bei dared to take action, he would have to consider the gains and losses.  The influence of the great Confucians is extraordinary.  Liu Bei received Bing Yuan with the highest etiquette, which fully demonstrated Bing Yuan's status. After entertaining him with good wine and food, Bing Yuan explained his purpose of coming.  Liu Bei heard this and sneered: "Bing Daru is well versed in history books and classics. Why should he help the Liang Kingdom? Four hundred years of Han Dynasty has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Does Bing Daru want to act against nature?" "Haha, General Liu is joking,  It was already sunset for the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty, but the Holy Emperor inherited God's will and unified most of the world, and the people under his rule were peaceful. He was a rare wise king. General Liu must have understood this already. The Xiliang army was strong and many times  He went to war without defeat, and was as strong as Xianbei outside the Great Wall. He also became the ruler of Liang State. Could it be that General Liu couldn't see the situation clearly?  Bing Daru stayed down to rest and see how my general defeated the Xiliang army. "We'll see," Bing Yuan turned and left, his tone full of disdain.  Liu Bei's face turned pale with anger. Even great scholars like Bing Yuan and Guan Ning had defected to the Liang Kingdom. Could it be that, as the rumors in the world say, the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty have been exhausted?  , To be honest, Liu Bei was not willing to give in. The Xiliang Army was very powerful. He had to admit that even if the forces of the three families were to unite, they would not be able to be confident in fighting against the Xiliang Army. Now the Liang Kingdom is in the process of defeating the Xiliang Army.  Despite the rapid development, the people of Jingzhou are still worrying about food and clothing.  Huang Zhong commanded an army of 60,000 men without slacking off at all. There were capable men like Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou, and there were many elite soldiers and generals among them. A slight slightest contempt could lead to the loss of troops and generals under his command.  Explosives are the most strictly supervised weapons in the Liang Kingdom and cannot be given to the princes. As the commander-in-chief, Huang Zhong carried ten packets of explosives this time. This will definitely become the key to changing the situation on the battlefield.  .  Huang Zhong first chose to attack Jiangling, which was guarded by Wei Yan. Jiangling was the most important city in Jingzhou. Once it was conquered, it meant that the entire Jingzhou would be paralyzed. One-third of Jingzhou's money and food came from Jiangling.  .  Pioneer Lu Bu led 3,000 soldiers to open roads in the mountains and fill bridges when encountering water. They marched very fast. They arrived at Jiangling City in just over 20 days.  Jiangling is an important town in Jingzhou. It has a tall city, thick walls, and a wide moat outside the city. Even if the Xiliang army had weapons such as explosives, they would not be able to swim across and blow up the city gates. They could only fight step by step.  Looking at the dense Xiliang army outside the city, Wei Yan felt his scalp numb. Since Liu Biao died and Liu Bei took charge of Jingzhou, he naturally became the general of Jingzhou. From a penniless general to the current guard, he also felt the pain.  own value.  Liu Bei's kindness to him was as high as the sky. No matter how powerful the Xiliang army was, it could not shake his belief in holding on to the city.  When the Xiliang army sent troops, Cao's army also moved, hoarding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Dongjun, intending to attack Hanoi. Faced with this situation, Jia Rong ordered Zhao Yun to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Hanoi. At this time, the Liang Kingdom had already  You won't be intimidated by Cao Cao's petty tricks.  When Huang Zhong arrived in JianglingAfter about a month, we set up camp and rested for three days before starting to attack Jiangling.
