Chapter Sixteen Yuan Benchu, the Turtle in the Urn(1/2)
The warm fragrance of nephrite is intoxicating.
The two hugged each other passionately for a while, until they were stopped by a candle, and they let go of each other.
Cai Yan fondly touched Princess Wannian's head to show that he had not ignored her.
"What are you writing about when Madam is so involved?" Liu Qing returned to the topic he was thinking about.
While asking questions, he led Cai Yan to the case and looked over what she had written.
"Yiluo Jingwei, Wei Ji's boat. Clouds and rain are falling, fog, dew, snow and frost. New times, sun and moon, stars and morning order. Winter is cold and summer is hot, mysterious energy is yin and yang..."
Liu Qing consciously skipped over the unfamiliar words, such as clouds and rain, sun and moon, yin and yang, like some kind of common sense book.
Liu Qing looked at Cai Yan confused, "What kind of article is this?"
Cai Yan looked surprised, "Hasn't your husband read it?"
Liu Qing was even more confused. Didn't you make this? How could I have read it?
"This is the "Cangjie Pian" compiled by the great calligrapher Jia Li. It is an elementary reading. My husband comes from a clan, so he may have learned other readings." Cai Yan said.
Well, I studied nine-year compulsory education, Liu Qing thought.
"Is this what you stayed up late to write?" Liu Qing stared at Cai Yan's eyes, and several streaks of blood were clearly visible in the whites of his eyes.
"The original book is at home in Yuxian County and has not been brought yet. My father was here earlier and he taught this chapter. There is no need for the original book, but my father said that he would go to Luoyang to serve as an official."
Sure enough! Dong Zhuo began to recruit famous people from all over the world, and his two father-in-laws were both hit by arrows.
"Do you know what kind of official you are?" Liu Qing asked again.
"The position of being a censor is very attractive to my father." Cai Yan said.
Liu Qing didn't know what official position he was in, but the official position related to books was indeed attractive enough to Cai Yong.
Because he was going to Luoyang to serve as an official, Liu Qing's plan to establish a large school should have come to nothing.
Cai Yan wanted to write "Cang Jie Pian" silently, obviously hoping that the school could continue to run. Cai Yong was about to leave, so she wrote silently overnight.
Liu Qing looked at the delicate and neat handwriting, which was like a calligraphy post, and then looked at a stack of manuscripts beside him. He held Cai Yan's hand tightly and said, "Why don't you hurry up and send someone to get it."
"It will take half a month to go back and forth, and I will be able to finish it in two days." Cai Yan said, pointing to the manuscript and looking at Liu Qing.
Liu Qing understood that she wanted to sit down and continue writing.
It is easy to open a school, and it is also easy to hire literate people to serve as teachers. What is difficult is what to teach.
Usually Mongolian studies and classics are monopolized by the gentry. For example, Cai Yong is a famous teacher. What he masters is taught by him personally and his disciples become his disciples. Although the school system envisaged by Liu Qing is supported by Cai Yong, it is currently
It is only piloted in Yuanshi County and has not been promoted even in Changshan.
Perhaps we can take advantage of this opportunity to write "Cangjie Chapter" written by Cai Yanmo. It is a Mongolian literacy classic that has been continuously revised and improved by great scholars of all ages, and it can fully serve as a so-called "teaching material."
Now that the unification of Jizhou is imminent, many ideas can be gradually put into practice.
"Take a rest and walk with me in the courtyard to see the greenery." Liu Qing rejected Cai Yan's idea of continuing to write, took her hand and walked out of the study, "Wannian, are you leaving?"
Wan Nian didn't really care about anyone, so he held his aunt's hand.
In this way, Liu Qing led Cai Yan, and Cai Yan led Wan Nian, out of the study and walked towards the courtyard.
Liu Qing suddenly remembered that when he renovated the courtyard in the past, he ordered people to plant a few peach trees. It was already April, and he didn't know if the peach blossoms had withered.
Glancing at a corner of the courtyard from the corridor, Liu Qing saw trees full of peach blossoms in full bloom.
Liu Qing paused, turned around and covered Cai Yan's eyes.
"Husband, what are you doing?"
"Go forward, I'll take you, no peeking." Liu Qing said with a smile.
Because Liu Qing's bookstore and dormitory were in the same area, and Cai Yan stayed up late for days to write, Liu Qing guessed that she had not gone to the courtyard, so he wanted to give Cai Yan a surprise.
After walking a few steps, Princess Wannian found it interesting, grabbed Cai Yan's hand to cover her eyes, and followed the two of them in the dark.
After several twists and turns, Liu Qing carefully brought Cai Yan into the courtyard. Although there were only a few peach trees, the branches were densely covered with flowers, making him feel like he was in a peach forest.
Liu Qing released Cai Yan's eyes.
"Wow!" Cai Yan sighed involuntarily, obviously fascinated by the scenery in front of him.
"Husband, I have never noticed that there are peach blossoms planted in my house." Cai Yan said excitedly.
"Wow! Uncle, I never noticed that there are peach blossoms planted in the house!" Wan Nianxue said.
Liu Qing really wanted to find a reason to move the small candle away. He had finally lived in a world of two, and he had to follow him like a follower.
"The peach blossoms in the north bloom late, but they bloom just right!" Liu Qing said.
Cai Yan stretched out her hand and caressed the peach blossoms. She looked at them quietly with a pair of beautiful eyes. The flowers were reflected, as if flowers were blooming in her eyes.
She originally liked peach blossoms, but because she was in love with Liu Qing, she became more fond of peach blossoms. Now that she knew that these peach trees were planted by Liu Qing, sweetness filled her heart and showed on her face.
The peach blossoms on the human face reflect each other's red, and the so-called happy smile may be like Zhao Ji in front of her.
…
Yuan Shao personally led an army of 30,000 people, crossed the river from Yanjin, and marched directly to Hanoi County to govern Huai County.
The current governor of Hanoi is Zhu Jun, who was granted the title of Luoyang. Zhu Jun was not from a noble family, and all his promotions were obtained through military exploits. Moreover, he was a conservative. Since Liu Xie was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he should abide by it.
How can we establish another one?
Before Yuan Shao's army attacked, the document had been circulated several times, urging him to surrender and submit to the emperor. Zhu Jun frowned, faced the envoy directly, and burned the document.
Now his old partner Huangfu Song is an official in the Luoyang Dynasty. Although he is not a military commander, since he accepted it, it shows that he is also abiding by the system.
On one side is Huai County, which is in danger and has few soldiers, and on the other side is Yuan Shao, who is pressing down on the border. Just when Zhu Jun was about to defend, a document from Taiwei Dong Zhuo came.
"Zhu Jun's troops withdrew from Huai County and retreated along the Qinshui River to defend Yewang."
Putting aside the Taiwei's orders, Zhu Jun also understood that Dong Zhuo's move naturally had other plans.
After Dong Zhuo helped the young emperor, and he also heard about the defeat of the coalition forces south of the river and outside Hulao Pass, Zhu Jun now did not dare to underestimate Dong Zhuo.
This deployment was naturally Jia Xu's idea. With Zhu Jun's two battalions of soldiers and horses, even if they guard Huai County and delay it for a while, the fall of Huai County in the face of Yuan Shao's army is inevitable.
Why waste these two battalions of soldiers.
Jia Xu stood at the pass, with the gentle south wind blowing slowly. Looking to the north was the river, and on the other side of the river was Hanoi County.
As the leading general, Wang Fang followed Jia Xu. He followed Jia Xu's example and looked far into the distance. However, except for a few birds flying by, he didn't seem to see anything.
"Sir, if Zhu Jun withdraws his troops, then Yuan Shaoke will be in a deserted situation!" After thinking about this matter, Wang Fang still mentioned it.
"The longer the battle line, the more difficult it is to supply. If Zhu Taishou is stationing troops in the wild king, it won't matter if he asks Yuan Shao to fight, or if he doesn't fight."
Wang Fang looked confused, "What does it mean that it doesn't matter if you fight? It doesn't matter if you don't fight?"
Jia Xu glanced at Wang Fang and gave him a look that you can understand for yourself.
To have to explain such a simple question would be too demeaning.
The Wild King is in the north, and Yuan Shao's goal is Xiaopingjinguan and crossing the river to the south. It can be said that attacking the north is contrary to his goal.
"Sir, I heard that Yuan Shao's army is three times as strong as ours. Can we hold it?"
Jia Xu looked at Wang Fang again. This question is related to the morale of the army and must be explained.
Gu Zhan
"General Wang, Duke Dong ordered us to come here not to defend this place, but to defeat Yuan Shao's army."
"Destroyed?" Wang Fang was stunned, a little hard to understand. Yuan Shao had an army of thirty thousand. When he was about to say something, he saw that Jia Xu had already left.
"Henan has already won a big victory, maybe Hanoi can also win a big victory!" Wang Fang murmured.
…
Wherever Liu Qing went, a large number of letters were delivered, and when Liu Qing moved, the letters were often moved with him, which was very troublesome.
Liu Qing has thought about this problem many times, but unfortunately he has not been able to come up with any solution.
In the Han Dynasty, post stations were set up every thirty miles. Now that the world is in chaos, for example, in Jizhou, many post stations have been abandoned. Almost all the imperial official announcements are sent to each county by special personnel.
In the study room, Liu Qing curled up on the carpet in a lazy posture, reading letters and newspapers one by one, while Cai Yan sat at the main desk and continued to write the "Cangjie Chapter" in her memory. .
After further investigation, she found out that the classics she wanted to memorize contained more than 7,000 words. Just hearing this number made Liu Qing feel numb and reminded her of the fear of being dominated by "memorizing and reciting" in her previous life.
"Kang Kuang, the king of Zhang Miao, defeated Xingyang."
Liu Qing looked at the concise, clear and informative letter and couldn't help but sigh, is Xu Rong wearing four clothes?
Would it be fun to fight one of four and get counter-killed?
How to ask for Xu Rong?
With a bunch of questions, Liu Qing opened another one.
"Yuan Shao's army crossed the river at Yanjin and entered Hanoi County."
The invasion of Hulao Pass failed, and Yuan Shao chose to attack from north to south. In other words, Yuan Shao's army is now in Hanoi!
Where is Hanoi? It is east of Hedong County, north of Luoyang and west of Wei County.
