Once they confirm that the Xuan Dynasty is weak, they will unite more closely, and then it will be time to launch a large-scale attack.
It looks like it won't be too far away at this time.
Maybe they will really attack the city next time. Jiang Xun sighed in his heart that there were not many resources in the city, and the arrows consumed were even greater.
Sure enough, the united barbarians appeared outside the city three days later. Jiang Xun became even more worried when he saw the siege equipment.
The scattered barbarians unite, and depending on the situation, a leader may have been born. In this way, it will not only be an attack on the city.
I'm afraid the ambition is even greater.
However, Jiang Xun was more worried about food and grass. After today, they would face a shortage of food.
"Hold it!"
Jiang Xun directed the battle and could only defend the city and wait for reinforcements, but did not dare to open the city gates and go out to fight.
"Don't let them get close!"
Another scream came from the falling rocks, but the enemy troops continued, and sooner or later they would get on the city wall if this continued.
This kind of siege method is much better than the barbarians in the past.
"Fire the arrow!"
Jiang Xun could no longer worry about the arrows. He must not let the enemy get close to the city gate, otherwise the battle would be even more difficult.
"General, general! Reinforcements have arrived!"
The soldier who reported the news ran up to the city tower. Jiang Xun turned around when he heard the words, "Which city has come to support? How many people are there?"
"General, yes, it's the capital! Your Majesty has ordered reinforcements at the border. General Cheng Wu is already outside the city with a hundred thousand troops!"
The soldiers could not hide their excitement and surprise. The dark cavalry gave them hope.
"really?"
"My subordinates saw it with their own eyes."
"Where are the people?"
Jiang Xun couldn't help but look happy and asked.
"General Cheng Wu has already led his cavalry around."
Just as the soldiers were talking, Jiang Xun had already seen the army on the tower.
Cheng Wu led his army around and surrounded the enemy troops attacking the city.
Jiang Xun looked at the reinforcements and was heartened.
"Open the city gate and kill!"
The morale of the army was greatly boosted. As soon as the city gate was opened, the troops in the city moved towards the barbarians attacking the city aggressively.
"withdraw!"
"We're surrounded!"
Shan Yulie listened to the sound of fighting in his ears and clenched the scimitar in his hand.
The Xuan Dynasty's army arrived silently. Why did the Xuan Dynasty send troops to support them so early?
Could there be a traitor among them and leak the news?
Shan Yulie's first reaction was to lead his army to break out.
The barbarian cavalry were fierce, but Cheng Wu and the others were not weak either.
As soon as Qi Yuan came to power, he guarded the border, recruited and trained troops, prepared food and fodder, and even went to great lengths to deploy defenses and increase troops.
If he couldn't defeat him, Cheng Wu's years in the army would have been in vain.
The best thing to do is to catch Shan Yulie by surprise, shrink the encirclement, and crush the troops without giving them a chance to break through.
Qi Yuan gave the order when they left Beijing. Their trip was to fight against fear and break up this united barbarian group.
The two armies fought, and the sound of killing was loud.
It wasn't until the sunset dyed half the sky red that the fighting came to an end. Outside the city, the sword fell into the sand, and Cheng Wu's armor was covered with the blood of the enemy.
First battle, great victory!
The death of Shan Yulie and the toughness of the Xuan Dynasty made the alliance of various ministries that were already hesitant become weaker.
The barbarians did not dare to invade, but the Xuan Dynasty's army did not give up.
These barbarians harassed the border and plundered every winter. They had long been a thorn in the side of the Xuan Dynasty.
Nowadays, the border is unstable. If they don't attack them in one fell swoop, how can they gain opportunities for cultivation for the Xuan Dynasty?
Quick victory!
Qi Yuan almost mobilized the whole country to arm the army, and kept food and grass close to the border. He wanted more than just defending the city.
The strength of the barbarian alliance is the weakest, and now they have suffered heavy losses. It is time to seize the opportunity to pursue the victory.
When the battle report of the first victory came back to the capital, Cheng Wu and the border defenders had already stabilized the border and were preparing for a counterattack.
With the great victory at the border, the Cheng family, who was already the Duke of the country, became even more popular because of Cheng Wu who led the army.
There is power and power, and the holy love is strong.
It made many people blush for a while.
The border is stable and the war is going smoothly. When the spring breeze blows, the first imperial examination of the new emperor's succession to the throne also begins.
While Qi Yuan was busy with border affairs, he also had to pay attention to the imperial examination and this year's spring broadcast.
All departments in the court were extremely busy, and with more things going on, the shortage of manpower became increasingly apparent.
I am increasingly looking forward to this imperial examination to select a group of talents.
The generals were concerned about the border, and the civil servants were even busier. For a time, there was a rare harmony in the court.
I have to say that it is indeed much more comfortable not having a bad official like Lin Xiang.
Soon after Juzi entered the capital, the Spring Festival that all the ministries were looking forward to began.
This time Chunwei had a large number of participants. From Chunwei, all eyes in Beijing turned to the examination room.
Soon after the Rites Examination came the Palace Examination.
Wang Huairen sat in the examination room, looking at the Golden Palace with a sense of trance in his heart.
Qi Yuan met Wang Huairen's eyes when he entered the palace.
An acquaintance...
Qi Yuan glanced at it and then looked away. Wang Huairen did this a lot.
There are noble families, some from poor families, and even disciples of great Confucian scholars.
It can be said that Emperor Xuan's purges and Qi Yuan's actions after he succeeded to the throne gave these people an opportunity to show their ambitions.
I would like to ask the scholars in the world, how many of them don’t want to leave their name in history?
The palace examination began, and when he saw the test questions, all the doubts in Wang Huairen's mind were swept away.
After the great victory at the border, many people thought that the exam questions were nothing more than war and current affairs. Wang Huairen believes that the most likely solution is people's livelihood.
But there are only two words in the test question that are vigorous and domineering, "official".
The font is domineering and sharp, just like today's Qi Yuan is full of ambitions.
The simple word "official" has different meanings for everyone. Wang Huairen raised the corner of his mouth when he saw the word "official".
Today's Qi Yuan is different from when we first met in the south, like a jade in the rough that has been completely polished to reveal its brilliance.
The great victory and power at the border did not disappoint the new emperor, who was ambitious and more benevolent and far-sighted.
Only then did Wang Huairen understand why his father must have let him become an official. There was a lot to be done.
Wang Huairen put aside his doubts and put down his pen on the rice paper.
Those who are officials are the parents of the people.
What is an official? What is a good official?
For Wang Huairen, who experienced the purges of the Xuan Dynasty, he had a deep understanding of it.
Wang Huairen wrote thoughtfully and analyzed the deficiencies in the official assessment of the Xuan Dynasty.
Everyone in the hall was stunned for a while and then started writing with relaxed expressions.
When the palace examination was over, Qi Yuan looked at the answer sheets in front of him with satisfaction.
These two words are the easiest and the most difficult.
Dividing these answer papers into two parts, Qi Yuan looked at Wang Huairen's paper and nodded.
Wang Yunyi’s training is still very useful.
After dropping the pen, he turned around and picked up another copy, which was densely written with his views on the taxation of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Military, people's livelihood, water conservancy projects, it can be said that these answers have their own opinions, and some even provide plans.
Qi Yuan's ink pen fell next to Zhao Shiyuan's name.
There are so many talented people. Now if the people in the Sixth Department say there are not enough people, they will be kicked out one by one.
