Pei Qian's order to cut off the warrior's wrists prevented the entire Wu army from being annihilated.
Even Tian Yu on the shore had to praise:
"Wulu is also a capable person."
Tian Pengzu looked happy, with a lot of blood on his body and a human head in his hand:
"Sir, the leader of Wu Lu's thieves has been killed."
As he spoke, he raised the ferocious head in front of Tian Yu, "I heard from the captured thieves that this man is the leader of this group of Wu captives."
Tian Yu slightly glanced at the head in surprise:
"This is an unexpected surprise!"
Then he glanced thoughtfully at the fleet that was returning to the sea, "So, someone else is in charge of Wu's fleet at this time?"
Thinking of this, his expression became a little solemn.
A person who can make a decisive decision in the face of a big defeat is probably not an easy person.
At this moment, another report came from the front:
"General, Cheng Shijun has led the troops and is ready to board the ship to pursue!"
Tian Yu's expression finally changed:
"No! Send an order to Commander Cheng immediately. Just kill the thieves on the shore, and don't go into the sea to pursue them!"
Just remembering that Cheng Xi had always violated his military orders, Tian Yu changed his words again:
"Come here, prepare your horses! I want to speak to Mr. Cheng personally!"
When Tian Pengzu saw his master's extremely anxious expression, he did not dare to neglect him at the moment. He quickly asked someone to bring the mount and personally helped Tian Yu mount the horse.
Tian Yu didn't wait for him to sit firmly, but he jerked his horse's buttocks, kicked up a cloud of dust, and led the people towards the coast.
The fighting on the shore ended just as quickly as it started.
After all, the Wu people were not good at land warfare, and in addition to the chaos, they were caught by surprise, and they were all taken down without even a decent resistance.
Although the battle is not fierce, the harvest is not small.
Pei Qian's prompt decision only saved the main ship of the fleet.
However, due to the confusion of command, some Wu ships still stayed on the shore and were captured by the Wei army.
On a ship, a box was found, which was full of shining northern pearls, which are the pearls produced in Liaodong.
Under the sunlight, the pearl reflected dazzling light, piercing the eyes of everyone in the Wei army.
Seeing that there were still many Wu ships floating with the waves around him, and many Wu ships were floating away into the distance under the control of the Wu people, Cheng Xi shouted anxiously:
"Quick, quick, send out men and drag those boats back! And don't let the Wu people escape!"
As early as when preparing to conquer Liao, Qingzhou had already prepared many ships.
How could he pull it out in a hurry?
That is to say, some ships that have been prepared when setting up an ambush can be used.
Some generals of the Wei army were anxious and ordered their soldiers to board the Wu ships without hesitation, hoping to tow the loose ships.
Some people even wanted to enter the sea to chase the escaped Wu ship.
When Tian Yu arrived, what he saw was such a chaotic scene.
He couldn't help but asked angrily:
"Mr. Cheng, when we are facing the enemy, why is military discipline so lax?"
Cheng Xi quietly hid a big pearl in his sleeve, and at the same time motioned to the people below to move the box containing the pearl away.
Then he stood in front of Tian Yu and said haha:
"General Tian, our army has already won a great victory. Now we are chasing the defeated troops. It is normal to have some confusion. Why should we be too harsh on the soldiers?"
"Mr. Cheng, the Wu people are good at sailing, which is beneficial to them at sea. If we let them react, it will be too late to regret it!"
Tian Yu was in no mood to point out Cheng Xi's little tricks.
After the death of Emperor Wu, the Qingzhou soldiers "thought the world was about to be in chaos, so they all went out by beating drums."
Although the current Qingzhou armies are different from the Qingzhou soldiers recruited by Emperor Wu.
But they also inherited Emperor Wu's tradition of corrupt military discipline in Qingzhou.
Tian Yu knew this well after supervising the troops in Qingzhou.
He deliberately left his belongings behind for the pursuers to loot, while he took the opportunity to escape.
This situation is very common.
But what Tian Yu didn't expect was that the dignified governor of a state would be so unjust in seeing benefits.
"General Tian is worrying too much," Cheng Xi laughed, pointed at the Wu boats floating around, and said, "The Wu people have lost their courage and even abandoned the boats. It's too late to escape now!"
Tian Yu's face was livid, he held up the talisman and said sternly:
"Generals, listen to your orders. Anyone who dares to pursue the Wu people without authorization will be regarded as violating military orders and will be executed without mercy!"
Fortunately, Tian Yu still has the Runan Army to give orders to.
A golden sound soon sounded from behind.
Cheng Xi's face was equally ugly.
Because it was his order to pursue the Wu ships.
What Tian Yu is doing now is a slap in his face.
He threw away his sleeves bitterly.
It wasn't until he reached a place where Tian Yu couldn't see him that he calmly gave the order:
"Let someone beat the drum and continue to pursue the Wu people!"
"But Sir, General Na Tian holds the talisman given by His Majesty, just in case..."
Cheng Xi was furious and slapped his subordinate:
"That man's talisman was given by His Majesty. I can report it directly to Your Majesty. Just go ahead. I have my own thoughts!"
As soon as the ringing sound stopped, the "dong dong" war drum sounded again.
The troops in Qingzhou were naturally familiar with the sound of their own war drums. Upon hearing the sound of the drums, they all turned around again and went to salvage the floating Wu ships.
When Tian Yu saw the Qingzhou Army like this, he was so angry that his whole body trembled. His patience over the past few days finally broke, and he jumped to his feet and cursed:
"Bandits! They are simply a group of bandits! The great Wei Dynasty actually has such bandits!"
"The great defeat of the country was at the hands of short-sighted people like you..."
Tian Pengzu's face changed with fright, and he quickly dragged his master back to his army.
The chaos of the Wei army gave Pei Qian, who retreated to the sea, the opportunity to collect some of the ships.
He was not in the mood to stay here any longer and began to flee south.
Therefore, Tian Yu's worry that the Wu people would take the opportunity to counterattack did not become a reality.
The Qingzhou troops towed the abandoned boats of the Wu people back to the shore, and indeed found a lot of treasures.
Cheng Xi was even more complacent, and immediately divided it up with the generals privately, without any intention of informing Tian Yu.
The generals got the benefit and only said that Cheng Xi commanded well, so why did they look at Tian Yu's face?
After fighting a battle that started but ended, Tian Yu was so angry that he didn't even notify Cheng Xi and led the army back to Runan the next day.
Cheng Xi was also happy that Tian Yu left Qingzhou. After he bribed the generals, he quickly wrote a military report and asked the generals to sign it. Then, together with his memorial, he sent it to Luoyang overnight.
Two battle reports of the Chengshan battle soon reached Cao Rui's desk.
One was naturally written by Cheng Xi, and the other was reported by Tian Yu.
Both battle reports wrote of a great victory at Chengshan, and they also mentioned the corruption of military discipline.
The difference is that Tian Yu bluntly said that the Qingzhou Army's military discipline was corrupt and did not obey military orders, and suggested that His Majesty send someone to rectify it.
Cheng Xi, on the other hand, said that although Tian Yu had made military exploits, his military orders were lax and he snatched many treasures from the Wu people, but distributed them to everyone in the army instead of turning them over to the government.
At the same time, he said that fortunately he also led the army to fight bravely and grabbed some trophies. From them, he carefully selected the pearls produced in Liaodong and sent people to deliver them to the palace.
After reading the battle reports of the two men, Cao Rui showed hesitation on his face. He held a battle report in one hand and pondered for a long time. Then he suddenly asked Lian Zhao who was serving at the side:
"Cheng Xi and Tian Yu both complained, accusing the other party of lax military discipline and corruption. What do you think?"
As a minister, Lian Zhao was regarded as an advisor to the emperor, and it was within his own scope to discuss affairs.
I saw him bowing and saying with a smile:
"The great victory over Chengshan was due to His Majesty's skill in employing men. If military discipline is lax and corrupt, we can win, then how bad is the military discipline of the Wu people?"
"It's just that Cheng Shijun and General Tian have too high requirements for military discipline. What your Majesty has to do at this time is not military discipline, but how to reward and punish."
"Otherwise, after winning the battle, Your Majesty will tighten military discipline. Wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers?"
Hearing this, Cao Rui nodded and said with a smile:
"That makes sense."
As he said this, Tian Yu's battle report in his hand seemed to have been accidentally held unsteadily and fell to the table.
Lian Zhao took a look and understood in his heart: Your Majesty seems to have made a decision.
It seems that Cheng Shijun knows His Majesty better and knows that His Majesty likes pearls...
Soon after, Cao Rui ordered rewards for the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Chengshan, and all Qingzhou generals received rewards.
Tian Pengzu, who killed Zhou He in formation, was only rewarded with the generals of Qingzhou.
As for Tian Yu, his merits are not listed.
When Tian Pengzu learned about this, he cursed angrily:
"It must be Cheng Xi who is behind this. Why don't you go to the memorial and explain this matter?"
Tian Yu was silent for a long time, and finally he sighed:
"This is my fault. Your Majesty is warning me. What does it have to do with others?"
Having said that, I will not discuss this matter again.
That's what he said, but Tian Yu knew in his heart that His Majesty was looking towards Cheng Xi and not towards himself.
It is very possible that what he said before the battle, "the country was defeated", was reported to His Majesty's ears, which made His Majesty unhappy, so he deliberately suppressed his own achievements.
More importantly, he has no background, no background from a wealthy family.
Whether it is Wang Xiong or Cheng Xi, their backgrounds are far better than mine...
The end of the 10th year of Jianxing was coming to an end, and the Battle of Chengshan in the east was probably the only major conflict in the past half year.
The Guanzhong area, where most of the troops of the Han and Wei Dynasties were originally gathered, was rarely calm.
Sima Yi in Chang'an was still farming quietly and became an old farmer with peace of mind.
To the south of Chang'an, across the Qinling Mountains, Nanxiang is ushering in its unique lively period.
Nanxiang Academy has now expanded to cover half of the inner city of Nanxiang.
It is expanded almost every year.
The assets of Nanxiang Academy that were originally used to train foremen have long since been divested and the Nanxiang Preparatory Academy has been re-established.
Now there are seven entrances and exits in Nanxiang.
Today is a special day. Each of these seven gates is bustling with many people.
Everyone tried their best to squeeze in, but they couldn't, so they picked up their feet and stretched their necks, trying to look inside.
Even the coolies who usually worked as porters and carried sacks were on holiday today. They gathered in a circle and stared at the door of the school.
To be precise, they were staring at the big red list at the door. Everyone pricked up their ears, trying hard to catch the name coming from the inside.
Today is the biggest annual ceremony in Nanxiang, the day when the list of selected students of Nanxiang Academy is announced.
From the rich and powerful to the most humble, everyone stopped what they were doing, regardless of whether they were taking the school exam or not.
Of course, the powerful and top families do not need to participate.
After all, they each have their own paths.
The exchange is also closed for a day today to make way for Nanxiang Academy.
In the past, Nanxiang Academy controlled the output of management talents such as workshops.
As the Liangzhou exams began, the first batch of students from the academy were taken to Liangzhou by Feng Governor, marking the official start of Nanxiang Academy to provide management talents for the Han Dynasty.
Taixue cannot be completed for the time being.
Because the emperor told Xu Ci a few years ago that the most important thing now is how to return the old capital, and the time to restore the Imperial Academy is not yet ripe.
The implication is that Taixue cannot accomplish anything before regaining Chang'an.
Therefore, it is natural that Nanxiang Academy became the transition from Imperial College.
After all, the royal family is the original shareholder of the school.
As early as a few years ago, eunuchs and maids began to be sent to study there.
A considerable number of the royal servants who now manage the inner palace came from Nanxiang Academy.
And Xiang Lang, who was most loved by the Han scholars, had always lived in Nanxiang Academy.
Xu Ci, who shouted loudest for "restoring Imperial College", also went to Nanxiang Academy to eat and drink... the year before last.
It can be said that Nanxiang Academy has been involved in all four aspects of "government, industry, academia and media", and has begun to form some kind of strange mixture.
Provide officials and talents for the Han Dynasty.
Provide management talents for various plantations, workshops and other emerging economies.
Break the intellectual monopoly of aristocratic families and open up a channel of knowledge for all walks of life.
As for matchmaking, it is unique to Nanxiang Academy.
Although the previous wind reviews can be regarded as the embryonic form of matchmaking.
But for new media such as storytelling, storytelling, and rap that are popular in Nanxiang, traditional style reviews are not enough.
Students who want to enter Nanxiang Martial Arts Hall will have an internship period.
During this internship period, I just went to various places to tell stories, rap, or organize raps.
It’s euphemistically called training your speaking skills.
According to some rumors, students from Jiangwu Hall will often teach literacy and give lectures to soldiers after entering the army.
Most importantly, they are good at boosting the morale of soldiers.
I just don’t know if it’s true…
From top to bottom, the interests of countless groups are involved, so students who can pass the exam and officially enter Nanxiang Academy are indeed qualified to attract the attention of everyone in Nanxiang.
"Wang Sheng! Wang Sheng!
"Who is Wang Sheng?"
Everyone who hears this name wants to know who this lucky guy is.
Soon, a burst of cheers came from the distance.
Of course, more people sighed in unison.
Another spot missing...
Especially for Cangtou Guizhou, this may be the only opportunity to change the fate of the family.
"Luo Hei, Luo Hei..."
Listening to the reputation spread from inside to outside, many people were embarrassed.
What kind of bad reputation is this?
Among the crowd of coolie porters, a man straightened his back suddenly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
He held his breath, his dark face became shiny, and his ears stood straight up.
However, the worker next to him pushed him and shouted excitedly:
"Luo Hei, it's Hei Wa, isn't it Hei Wa?"
"Yes...listen again, listen again, don't hear wrongly..."
The black-faced man held the worker's arm tightly with his backhand and murmured.
"It's true, it's Hei Wa!"
Another person from the front squeezed over and shouted loudly to the black-faced man:
"Hei Wa from Class 7, I heard you clearly! That's right!"
"Really? Don't lie to me!"
As the real owner, the black-faced man was in disbelief.
"Don't be wrong, don't be wrong!"
"Hey! I'm in!" The black-faced man clapped his hands and stamped his feet fiercely. There was a look of ecstasy on his face, and he laughed wildly.
The workers who accompanied him all cheered.
Hearing the unabashed laughter of these coolie porters, some people couldn't help but curse secretly:
"You are not the son of a man! Why can ordinary people like Nanxiang go to school for free?"
Remembering that he had failed to send his child to school even though he paid the eldest price, the man just let out a loud "poof":
"You're a mother! Even if you give birth to a baby in the hospital, Nanxiang people are given priority. Isn't it God's fault!"
