Chapter 586 'Ouyang Shangshu' is dead, but you are alive
In this turmoil, the most popular among the ancient literature school was obviously Lu Zhi.
Because Lu Zhi's position as Taiwei and Liu Bei's position as General were really attractive.
Many people want to be brothers with Liu Bei and take the shortcut to becoming an official. They all know how advantageous it is to be a brother with Liu Bei for an official career.
But this is obviously not an easy task.
The scholars in Luoyang still remember the extremely high elimination rate when Lu Zhi recruited his disciples. In addition, Huan Dian and others also sent people to spread rumors that Lu Zhi would not save his disciples until death, so they decided to
It slightly stopped some people who wanted to join Lu Zhi's disciples.
But despite this, even if they did not choose Lu Zhi, they would not choose the Jinwen school.
At this point, those who are still willing to join the school of modern literature are either weirdos or weirdos among weirdos. It cannot be said that there are none. I can only say that most people are normal people and will not do weird things.
Therefore, the scholars have voted with their feet, voting for the death penalty of the Modern Literature School and the glorious future of the Ancient Literature School.
However, the Jinwen school was still unwilling to admit defeat. They tried their best to refute and counterattack in the classic meeting nominally chaired by the little emperor Liu Xie, and even used the trick of burning both stones to delay time——
They took the initiative to send suicide players to beat officials of the Ancient Literature School in court, in order to disrupt the order of the court, prevent normal court discussions from continuing, and turn literary fights into physical fights, trying to buy more time for their school.
.
At the same time, they have not given up hope and are still making final attempts to persuade Huang Wan and Yang Biao.
Huang Wan is too often, as long as he is willing to speak, he will be able to save the situation. Although Yang Biao does not have an official status, with the background of the Yang family, he can definitely turn things around.
The Jinwen School has tried its best and even expressed its willingness to accept Huang Wan into the Fanyue family system, allowing Huang Wan's family to successfully enter the Fanyue family and become one of the most noble families in the entire Han Dynasty. The descendants of Fuze
.
But Huang Wan remained unmoved.
When the car reaches the end, you know you have stepped on the brakes, and you don't know until you have a big nose and snot in your mouth. Does this mean anything?
Do you really think that the status of the famous family can be maintained?
Huang Wan almost stopped laughing.
"Liu Dadu, I won't be killed if I scold him a few times in court, and maybe he just needs someone to talk back to him in the court, but if I go against him on this matter, I won't be able to hold my position as too often."
Yes, you compensate me?"
"It is true that I have been favored by the Jinwen School, but what does that have to do with you? My mentor is Mr. Yang, and it is Mr. Yang who came to persuade me. What are you doing here? You want to put me on fire.
To bake?”
"Go quickly! Stop talking!"
Huang Wan used a very perfunctory attitude to drive away Huan Dian who came to lobby.
Huan Dian was very sad and angry about this, but there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't persuade Huang Wan and could only look forward to Yang.
On the other hand, Yang Biao claimed that Zhang Xi was ill and sent his son Yang Xiu to deal with Zhang Xi, who rushed to Hongnong's hometown to ask him to come out.
"My father is very ill and cannot see guests. Even if you kill me today, I will not let you see my father!"
Yang Xiu sat at the door of Yang Biao's room and refused to let Zhang Xi in. Zhang Xi couldn't get in no matter what, and was in despair.
"The modern literature school is about to fall! The foundation left by our ancestors will be overturned by the gang of treacherous villains from the ancient literature school! Even so! Aren't you willing to help me?!"
"Once the Jinwen School collapses! How can the Yang family survive alone?!"
"Mr. Yang! You have never been short-sighted! Can't you see the current situation? If we die, can you live alone?!"
"Mr. Yang! If you turn a blind eye! Then a hundred years later, how can you have the face to see your father!!"
Zhang Xi shouted at Yang Biao's house, which made Yang Xiu very unhappy, so he called the servants at home and took Zhang Xi out by force.
After Zhang Xi left in despair, Yang Xiu walked into Yang Biao's house, looked at Yang Biao lying on the couch with his back to the front door, and sighed.
"Father, do you really plan to do nothing and wait for the ancient school of literature to replace the modern school of literature? If so, my Yang family biography will also lose its meaning."
Yang Biao was silent for a long time, then slowly stood up and looked at Yang Xiu.
"Xiu, "Ouyang Shangshu" is dead, but you are alive. As long as you live, as long as you live well, the Yang family will not lose hope no matter what. For a family, the most important thing is people."
Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then sighed deeply and bowed deeply to Yang Biao.
"The son must work hard to respond to his father's expectations."
"Um."
After all, the Yang family and his son did not do anything beneficial to the Jinwen School. The Jinwen School has also tried every strategy and begged everyone. It has really reached the point of despair and can't come up with any solution.
At this critical moment, on the first day of May in the first year of Jian'an, Liu Bei led his army in triumph and arrived outside Luoyang City. The young emperor Liu Xie led hundreds of officials to greet Liu Bei outside the city again.
This time, Liu Bei maintained his original appearance and walked to meet the little emperor without any omissions in etiquette. Moreover, he also brought a bombshell to the people in Luoyang City...
About the results of the Northern Expedition.
He had not reported the matter to the court before, but only said that he would report it in person in front of the emperor, give the emperor a surprise, and offer his own gift for the emperor's enthronement. Therefore, the whole court did not know how great the results of Liu Bei's Northern Expedition to the Grassland were.
But then again, under that kind of environment, he could still launch the Northern Expedition to the grasslands. How courageous would Liu Bei be and how tenacious his army would be?
As someone who knows the military, Lu Zhi was very amazed that Liu Bei could persist in launching the Northern Expedition under that kind of environment. He felt that his disciple had completely surpassed him in the use of soldiers and had completely become the number one man in the Han Dynasty.
.
As a teacher, he really has to give up when it comes to using troops.
So, just outside Luoyang City, in front of the emperor and all the officials, Liu Bei opened a scroll of bamboo slips and read aloud all the results he had achieved since he sent troops north.
In the territory of Youzhou, more than 20,000 Xianbei people were killed, and more than 10,000 Yuan Shao's men were killed in succession. They marched eastward to defeat Zahu, and more than 5,000 Han bandits and powerful men who raised their troops to cause chaos. They marched eastward to Liaodong County to kill Wuhuan.
There are more than 30,000 people.
Then came the Northern Expedition, which carried out an attack on the western Xianbei on the grassland, basically annihilating the western Xianbei forces, and also dealt a certain blow to the central Xianbei. A total of more than 50,000 western Xianbei and central Xianbei cavalry were killed.
A total of more than 120,000 enemy troops who destroyed Youzhou including Yuan Shao's troops, Xianbei people, and Wuhuan people were wiped out.
Then there are the captured prisoners, not counting Yuan Shao's troops. Just counting the total number of men and women from the grassland tribes who were captured by him and brought back alive, it was about 710,000.
The total number of livestock captured before and after this battle exceeded three million, and the horses exceeded half a million. There were more than 60,000 outstanding war horses available, and the entire remaining horse herd also had huge potential.
The food, daily supplies, strategic supplies, gold and silver jewelry, handicrafts, rare antiques, etc. accumulated by other tribes are countless and piled up like mountains.
"Because there were too many seizures and there were not enough vehicles to bring them back, we had no choice but to reward some of them on the spot to the generals and soldiers who made meritorious service during the Youzhou Rebellion, as well as the Youzhou area that suffered too much losses, as some compensation.
In order to appease people's hearts, I also ask Your Majesty to forgive me for taking the decision without permission!"
The little emperor failed to react quickly, and Empress Dowager Dong, who was standing behind him, responded instead of the little emperor.
"The general has done a great job and worked hard, but why do he care about trivial matters?"
Ms. Dong was in a state of wonder and admiration at this incident. She was similar to the officials who heard about it for the first time. There was no one who was not surprised and shocked by it.
Not to mention anything else, he wiped out 120,000 enemies in one battle and captured more than 700,000. This military achievement has surpassed Dou Xian, who defeated Shi Yanran in the past, and became the best in the world. He can even compete with the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai who founded the country.
Let's compete to see who has higher military exploits.
This feat was so great that it was a bit unbearable. It even made some people frightened, their eyes darkened, and their legs and feet became weak.
Such as Huan Dian, such as Zhang Xi, such as the family gossips of the Jinwen school who opposed him, and of course, there was also Dong Chong, who was uneasy in his heart.
Liu Bei didn't have anything good to say about these insects. He smiled slightly, turned around and waved, and everyone saw that the army at the rear parted through a gap, and a long carriage team came out from there. It was very long. When the leader of the team had already arrived,
Team Mo has not yet come out from the army.
"General, this is..."
Mr. Dong was a little curious, a little guessed, and a little surprised.
"This is a trophy of war. I and all the soldiers in the army carefully selected it as a gift to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. Please accept it with your Majesty and the Queen Mother!"
As Liu Bei spoke, he opened a large box on the first carriage. Inside, there were rows of gold, silver, and pearl and jade products. There were a lot of gold ingots and gold products, and they had all been treated to make them shiny, which dazzled everyone.
Everyone's eyes were so golden that many people almost couldn't stand it.
