In this era, there was a distinction between Han people, Yi people, and Hu people.

Wei Shi did not expect that a Han tyrant's attitude would allow him to gain the famous general Wang Ping.

Naturally, Wei Shi would not stop Wang Ping from studying hard.

A person's origin is not something Wang Ping can decide.

But Wang Ping's hard work allowed him to surpass many people who were of nobler origin and better off than him.

Wei Shi was also deeply impressed by this.

In Wang Ping, he saw a rural boy who was eager to make progress and keep learning. It was this spirit of constant seeking that allowed Wang Ping to grow into a famous general.

"Shi looked through the history books and saw records from historians that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the sons of those who died in the army to raise Yulin, and the official taught him five soldiers, named Yulin Orphans, and the young men were ordered to join the army."

"The famous generals of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing, Zhao Chongguo, Gan Yanshou and others, were all good at riding and shooting. Now Wang Ping, Han Jin and other poor young men are eager to learn, but there is no way to learn. Shi Youyi, in

Fangling tried to build a military house to provide convenience for the children in the army."

In the following days, Wei Shi summoned Lou Gui, Huang Xu, Wei Yan and others to discuss setting up a school in the army.

Although this matter was not an urgent matter at the moment, Wei Shi felt it was of great significance.

"Ming Gong, what should be the name of this military building?" Lou Gui couldn't help but feel shocked after hearing what Wei Shi said.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built Yulin and Qimen, which were part of the palace's imperial army. The children he recruited were also from the three assistants and the six counties were good at riding and shooting, and had good talents.

Wei Shi will definitely not be able to choose a son from a good family now, but there are many poor people like Wang Ping and Han Jin. These young men come from poor families and are rarely literate, but they are loyal. Once they grow up, they will be Wei Shi.

The most reliable force.

Wei Shi pondered for a moment, thought of a name and said: "The military building is built in Fangling. It is better to call it Fangling Martial Arts. It is also easy to remember. Martial Arts corresponds to Taixue, which is only for military children to read and study. It is not easy either."

Cause strife.”

"Martial Arts is under the name of the Prefect's Mansion, and the Prefect's Mansion will fund the construction of the building. As for the doctors who will give lectures, I think we will take turns to come first, and we will make adjustments when there are better doctors in the future."

"There should be examinations for learning. The examinations can be divided into oral examinations and written examinations. The scores are divided into A and B grades. High-achieving students can be appointed to important positions such as military lieutenant, Quhou and other important positions. Those who have passed one subject can be added to the ranks of the army, and low-ranking military officers such as generals.

Job."

"This matter is related to the future plans of our Fangling Army. There is no room for error. Huang Xu, your main task next is to run the martial arts well. Let's put other things aside for now."

Wei Shi thought as he expressed his thoughts on running a school.

There are many ways to cultivate talents.

Starting a martial arts school is undoubtedly the most convenient way.

Once the martial arts school is completed, the emergence of talents under Wei Shi will be faster than that of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

"Xu should do his best to handle this matter for you." Huang Xu excitedly clasped his fists and saluted.

Beside him, Lou Gui looked at Huang Xu with envy. This matter of running a school seemed ordinary and inconspicuous, but it had far-reaching influence.

Compared to Huang Xu, who has a father-son inheritance, Lou Gui is indeed incomparable in this aspect.

"Okay, Master Lou, don't be envious. You also have important things to entrust. Now that Pu Hu and other Yi kings have retreated, the salt spring in Yuyi will be our next focus."

"Back then, the Guyong Kingdom was strong for two reasons. Salt was the most important military resource traded. Our next step is to take back the salt spring from the Shen family..."

Yuyi, also known as Yufu, is a trading place for well salt in the upper reaches of Wuxi River. It was once an important city of Yong State.

"In addition to salt, we also need to seize the tea-producing land. The importance of the tea tree is not much less than that of salt. Pick tea to make cakes. If you drink it, roast it first to make it red, and then pour it with soup.

Drinking sober up can make you sleepless."

Wei Shi strategized and confidently described his ideas and strategies for managing Fangling.

The reason why the Shen brothers were able to gain a foothold in Shangyong was because they had two important resources, salt and tea. Once the salt springs and tea trees returned to Wei Shi, the Shen family would not be able to raise troops, let alone anything.

——

The Yi king Pu Hu was severely defeated by Wei Yan, and then fled back to Brazil County, never daring to go to Fangling to harass him again.

Later, worse news came. The salt springs in Yuyi and the tea trees in Wuxia were attacked by Wei Shi's generals such as Hou Yin and Guo Peng. The salt and tea cakes they transported were robbed, and the Shen family

Hundreds of soldiers were killed.

This result made Shen Dan and Shen Yi, who were ready to watch a good show and sit on the mountain to watch the fight between tigers, very disappointed.

In Shangyong City, the situation becomes increasingly tense.

Although the soldiers of Wei Shijun and the Shen brothers were still facing each other across the water block, their morale had waxed and waned due to changes in the overall strength of both sides.

Wei Yan and Liao Hua had led their troops across the river several times and launched tentative attacks on Shangyong City.

"Brother Tan, I never thought that Wei Shi, a village man, could actually receive a gift from His Majesty. Now our reputation, righteousness, military strength, and financial resources are all inferior to ours. What should we do?"

Shen Yi came to see Shen Dan with one arm hanging and a gloomy expression.

He had just encountered Liao Hua at the junction of Guoshui River and Han River. There was a scuffle between the two armies, and Shen Yi was almost stabbed to death by Liao Hua on the shore.

Shen Dan glanced at Shen Yi and comforted him: "Brother Yi, there are wolves in front of us and tigers in the back. Our Shen family is sandwiched between Wei Shi and Zhang Lu. The situation is extremely dangerous."

"However, no matter how powerful Wei Shi is, he is still here for the first time. We still have backup methods to deal with him. For example, we can invite Zhang Shijun from Hanzhong to send troops to help..."

Shen Dan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and a fierce look gradually appeared.

"Once Zhang Daojun's rice soldiers are invited, it will be difficult to send them away." Shen Yi said hesitantly.

In the past two years, in order to compete for control of Ziwu Road in Xiping, Shen Yi led his clan soldiers and fought several battles with Zhang Lu's subordinate Yang Ren, and many people on both sides were killed or injured.

The hatred has not been resolved yet, but now they are uniting together. Shen Yi's heart cannot get over the hurdle for a while.

"At this time and that time, Zhang Lu's Taoist Master was hiding in Hanzhong and preaching. It was natural. If he left Hanzhong, he would not be tolerated by the world after all. The lessons of Taiping Tao are right in front of him."

"So, we don't have to worry about Zhang Lu first, and we can use the power of the rice soldiers to drive Wei Shi away." Shen Dan pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind.

At this time, the survival of the Shen family was at stake, and he could only choose the lesser of two evils.

The Shen family asked Zhang Lu for help, and the news spread quickly in Nanzheng. Then Zhang Lu summoned Yang Ren, Yang Ang and other close relatives from the Five Dou Rice Sect, as well as Hanzhong Sima Yanpu, Li Xiu and others for an urgent meeting.

After some discussion, Zhang Lu sent Yang Ren to lead a force of more than a thousand rice soldiers to go eastward along the Han River towards Shangyong.

The soldiers of the Wudou Rice Cult in Hanzhong were immediately involved in the war in Dongsan County.
