At the moment Fang Yun finished writing the title of the poem, the Minister of Personnel Gu Mingzhou said coldly: "Fang Xusheng, the journey north is difficult and it is not easy to return, don't make mistakes!"
Gu Mingzhou's voice echoed in the air, and he actually used the power of the Grand Secretary to threaten Fang Yun.
Many scholars tried to stop him, but they did not dare to use their tongues to thunder, for fear of affecting Fang Yun.
Fang Yun ignored him and continued writing slowly.
How do you feel about being beheaded today
Starting a business is difficult and full of challenges.
I am going to Quantai to recruit old subordinates.
With a hundred thousand flags, kill Yama Luo!
Every stroke seems to have a metallic clanging sound, as if expressing Fang Yun's feelings at the moment.
Creating achievements requires countless battles. The process of slaying demons and barbarians is arduous and difficult. Even if you are killed now, what can you do? Even if you die in battle, you must summon those comrades who died in the underworld, and with the flags flying, lead all the old subordinates to kill the Lord of the Underworld, continue to create achievements, and continue to fight demons and barbarians in the underworld.
Everyone realized that this might be an unusual poem, but after reading the entire poem, they were even more surprised.
If the previous song "Man Jiang Hong" is full of intense patriotic feelings and confidence in victory, then this song "Going North to Pacify the Barbarians and Presenting a Gift to Prime Minister Liu" is full of the spirit of facing death with indifference and fighting to the end.
"Even if you die in battle, you must continue to fight. What a strong will!"
"A hero is born to be a king and will never surrender even after death!" Jiang Hechuan murmured to himself.
"My teacher, my leader!" The great scholar Zhou Junhu lowered his head slightly to express his infinite admiration.
"If you are not a man of many battles, it would be difficult to write such a poem."
"In this poem, there is no mention of demons and barbarians, but there are demons and barbarians in every sentence! In this poem, there is no Liushan either, but there is Yama!"
“But I don’t know what power this poem has.”
Under the gaze of the crowd, the war poem was shining with precious light. Although it had not been passed down through the generations, it contained great power.
The holy page was seen burning, turning into a straight black smoke stream that shot straight into the sky. When it was a thousand feet high, the black smoke rolled and condensed into clouds.
Finally, all the black smoke turned into a black cloud.
The black clouds continued to roll, and after a while, they turned into a strange city. However, that city was very strange, eerie and terrifying, like a ghost town.
Above the city gate, the words "Fengdu" are engraved.
According to legend, this is the place where people go after death and is the residence of Yama.
Everyone was filled with horror. No matter whether the Fengdu City was real or fake, no one had ever succeeded in summoning it. Not even the great scholar Gan Bao had done it. But now, this legendary place that made people feel chilled to the bone at a glance had appeared in the world.
This is an empty city, without any demons or monsters, but everyone feels that their soul is floating in the air and may leave the body at any time and be sucked into the terrifying Fengdu City and turned into a ghost.
What's the purpose
But in the blink of an eye, the gate of Fengdu opened, and two chariots made of black smoke sped away in different directions, leaving fine black smoke behind.
There were flags flying on the chariot, which was pulled by four horses. There was a general on each of them, but his face could not be seen clearly.
A moment later, the two chariots crashed into the eyebrows of Liu Shan and Fang Yun respectively.
Afterwards, Fengdu City disappeared and everything seemed to return to normal.
Gu Mingzhou shouted angrily: "Fang Yun, what did you do to Liu Xiang? Why did you use such a despicable method to attack?"
Liu Shan clenched his right hand tightly, his joints turned white, and stared at Fang Yun fiercely.
“Just as the poem says.”
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he turned around, walked down the reviewing stand, and rode on the dragon horse.
"Set off!"
Fang Yun kicked his horse's belly, raising a cloud of dust, and a thousand barbarian private soldiers followed closely behind him.
In the grand parade ground, countless people bowed to see him off respectfully.
Especially those ordinary soldiers, looking at Fang Yun's back, remembered the eight words from the Book of Songs, which were used by Sima Qian to describe Confucius.
I admire the lofty mountains and the beautiful conduct.
Virtue is like a mountain, people look up to it; actions are like the road, people follow it.
After seeing Fang Yun off, Jiang Hechuan and Chen Zhixu walked to the side of the Queen Mother, and the three of them whispered.
Officials from all places just stood there and did not leave immediately. They were all waiting for the king's orders and secretly observing the empress dowager and the other two.
Not long after, Jiang Hechuan coughed lightly and announced with thunderous tongue: "In the training ground, all those under the age of 40 and those below the level of Jinshi will be retired from the army and their student status will be unified into the Jingguo Academy. Because of the large number of people, they will all be admitted to the Tongxian Academy branch, and the outstanding ones will be selected every year to study in the Beijing Academy!"
The whole audience cheered.
Especially the more than 300,000 children of the common people, their faces flushed with excitement.
The Imperial Academy is the cultural center and the pinnacle of education of each country, second only to the Holy Academy.
Whether it is the liberal arts department, the civil service department or the military, when promoting officials, if two people have similar qualifications and rank, and if one has been to the imperial palace and the other has not, the former will almost certainly be promoted.
A national academy is a gateway to heaven in the eyes of people from all countries.
Once you enter the academy, not only are your food and clothing all free, you can even receive a considerable income, which is much higher than the military pay.
For these people, the most important thing is educational resources. There are countless books and the best lecturers. As long as they work hard, they will become scholars.
In the near future, in this large parade ground alone, 300,000 scholars may be born. Moreover, they will be scholars with a permanent "Man Jiang Hong" and have a stronger ability to survive than juren.
Fang Yun's name is engraved in the hearts of every soldier.
The Jiao horse is a first-class mount, and the barbarians are able to endure hardships and work. Along the way, everyone ate and drank on horseback. At night, the Jiao horse was too tired, so all the barbarians dismounted and ran, and continued to ride after the Jiao horse had fully rested.
In one day and one night, they can travel two thousand miles.
By the evening of the next day, the thousand cavalrymen had already seen the brightly lit Ning'an City.
But the city was empty, because almost all the people were standing outside the south gate of Ning'an City, looking forward to it.
The torches illuminate the faces full of joy and the excited hearts.
Many people came with large and small bags and families. Some were holding cotton coats and sweaters, some were carrying baskets filled with sweet dates, fruits, steamed buns and eggs, some were holding their babies and constantly reminding them to look at their fortunes, and some were pushing various small carts filled with food.
No one cares whether Fang Yun will eat or use these things. They won’t consider these issues and will only take out what they should take.
Respect it as if it were a god and offer it devoutly.
On the Yishui River outside Ning'an City, ten raging battle platforms were lined up one by one, with the most elite navy of the Yangtze River standing on them. Ao Huang, the commander-in-chief of the Yangtze River Navy, was hovering in the air with a proud look on his face, waiting for Fang Yun to review the troops.
In front of the people of the whole city were teams of scholars, demon cavalry and barbarian private soldiers.
Including those led by Fang Yun, the total number of barbarian private soldiers has reached five thousand.
The two thousand demon cavalrymen were on full alert, with a solemn military appearance, which was far more eye-catching than the four thousand barbarian private soldiers.
However, among the barbarian private soldiers, there were four demon kings and the barbarian king Hu Li, who intimidated the entire army.
Before the Demonic Iron Cavalry, there were five thousand human cavalrymen, and all of them were scholars, with an academic rank of at least scholar!
