Chen Qun's meaning is very close to the path he has taken in history.

Because China is a great agricultural country, before the Han Dynasty, the kingdom composition of the Han Dynasty usually could only be provided by a political elite group of a certain region as the core and the will to form a group. For example, Liu Bang and Liu Xiu had political groups with their regions as the core, and Cao Cao himself was the same.

In the great turmoil in the whole world, the most ordinary people are at most followers of these political elites. In a sense, they are also involved in the changes in national politics, but their influence is really very limited.

In the manor system of Shandong in the Han Dynasty, these ordinary people at the bottom, except for a very few people who were lucky enough to float to the surface, most of the people at the bottom were settled under the surface and could not influence political decision-making in a way that participated. They were just "national people", the people under the rule of the emperor and officials, and various "civilians" composed of various prefixes, such as the people, subjects, the people, the people, the people, the people, the untouchables, and the unruly people...

But China was the first country to realize the importance of the people.

If the saying "The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least" is only limited to Mencius' ideal, then "water carries a boat, water capsizes the boat", as well as words such as "people's opinion" and "people's hearts" have become the focus of emperors and political elites in all dynasties, and are an important constraint on the political governance of any dynasty. Many institutional practices in Chinese history have also pursued to varying degrees to follow the people's hearts and win the people's hearts.

So it is obvious that China has a preliminary awareness of the "people" or "people", but this awareness also has certain limitations.

This limitation does not mean that there is any difference between good and bad from the Western "citizens", because the Western "citizens" and the Eastern "citizens" are fundamentally different concepts formed by historical developments, and they cannot be simply compared and evaluated by each other.

Chen Qun is the embodiment of this conceptual limitation.

He understood that the collapse of the Han Dynasty was the collapse of aristocratic families. He understood that the Han Dynasty had to return to order at the moment, and could only rely on more gentry families, rather than relying on a separate aristocratic family. Therefore, Chen Qun handed Cao Cao the "Examination System", which was the "Nine-rank Zhongzheng System" in history, but for various reasons, Cao Cao did not effectively promote the "Examination System".

Chen Qun used Wei Yan's incident to deliver memorials from all over the country to Cao Pi. His original idea was to take advantage of this opportunity to promote the alliance of the gentry in Jizhou and consolidate the lower-level gentry in the "Tailing System", so that they could automatically and spontaneously find experience packages like fighting monsters and upgrading, that is, "Bandits" and "Drought".

But it's a pity...

Cao Pi did not appreciate it, or did not understand the key issues at all.

That would be a pity.

Chen Qun was not going to talk to Cao Pi for a second time.

"The system of examining the right people is judged by their qualities. People are divided into high and low, equally divided into up and down, and exam is used as the system to correct the person. Therefore, it is called examining the right people." Chen Qun said slowly, "This system aims to select talented people to serve the purpose of the court. In times of chaos, it is difficult to check the authenticity of filial piety and honest counties, and the talents are directly declining. Therefore, the chiefs of the prefectures and counties are used as examining the talents of the prefectures and counties, and their character, talents, family background, etc., to determine the quality. On the one hand, it can be avoided, and on the other hand, it can be fair."

Chen Tai looked at Chen Qun, "My father..."

"Now the bandits continue to storm the prefectures and counties, and the drought is unsolvable in the land, which is all difficult for the local area." Chen Qun said in a deep voice, "Now, under the order of the prince, he ruled the soldiers of Yecheng, attacked the bandits and Jingping places... Do you know what should you do?"

"This..." Chen Tai seemed to understand a little, but he couldn't fully understand it.

"Cui Jigui is not in Jizhou now." Chen Qun added.

Chen Tai thought for a long time, then suddenly realized, "Ah, the child understands."

Chen Qun nodded, "Then let's go and do your business. As your father... three days later, the army will be launched to attack the thieves!"

Chen Tai took a breath, "After the order, the child will leave."

...

...

While Jizhou was stirred up so much that everyone was thinking about it, the Cao army camp under the slope of Emeiling ushered in the most violent baptism of artillery.

Are the city walls of the Han Dynasty, the city walls of the Tang Dynasty, or the city walls of the Ming and Qing Dynasties the same?

Obviously not.

In ancient times, the earliest defense system was fences and trenches, which were used to defend against wild animals. Later, in order to defend against people, the city walls were added. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the city walls were basically formed, with rammed earth as inside and covered with bricks and stones, which became the standard for the city walls of later Chinese feudal dynasties.

However, because the methods of siege are becoming more and more cruel, the city walls have begun to develop horizontally and become thicker. Most of the city walls that can be retained in later generations are the city walls of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The early Han and Tang dynasties, because on the one hand, they were not as thick and strong as the Ming and Qing dynasties, were not much left.

Overall, the strength of the "shield" was determined based on the "spear" at that time. Therefore, when Fei Qian took out the artillery that spanned this dynasty, the city walls set up according to the old defense standards could not be blocked, let alone the camp military camp?

So didn’t Cao’s army know that Fei Qian had artillery?

Actually, I know it.

But the key is that the time left for Cao Cao is too short.

When the news that Shanshan Kingdom was bombarded with artillery and the capital was passed to Shandong, some people thought it was "fake news" created by Fei Qian...

The cannons roared.

Fei Qian only used two copper cannons and bombarded several times in a row, and then made a small gap in the Cao army camp down the slope. Although the village wall would not collapse, the morale of Cao army was obviously falling.

Even though Liu Zhu quickly organized manpower to block the collapsed part of the village wall and barely maintained the front line, the collapse of people's morale was not so easy to fill.

The formation that Fei Qian set out was like a crab, and the two large pliers were cavalry on both wings.

In the thick array in the middle are infantry artillery and baggage, and there are also some cavalry on the back line, just like the thinner feet of crabs.

The mission of infantry is not only for attack, but more for guarding the artillery array.

The duty of a cavalry is to strangle like huge pliers when there is a mistake in the opponent's formation.

This array is simple and straightforward. Whether it is one side or the enemy, you can see it clearly and think it clearly. It will not be like the eight-door golden locks, the nine-curved Yellow River, etc., which makes people confused and confused.

But the problem is that even if Liu Zhu understood it, he had no choice but to stand with his hands and prayed that Cao's reinforcements would come quickly...

At the back of Fei Qian's mid-range, Xu Chu stood aside.

"Go."

Fei Qian nodded slightly.

Xu Chu bowed, then stood up and moved forward with a high spirit.

This is the stage set up by Fei Qian for Xu Chu, and now Xu Chu is about to appear on stage.

A good general is definitely not something that can grow by talking about it on paper, but must be tested by actual combat.

And the Cao Jun camp, which is not big or small at the slope, is Xu Chu's trial site.

Winning will naturally lead to winning, but if the damage is too great or the command is in a mess, you may lose the next chance to go to power, and you will never have a second chance.

With Xu Chu's order, the infantry front gradually advanced forward.

The archer followed the big shield soldiers, fifty steps away from his own line, not far or near. It happened that the archer exerted the maximum power, and he could use volleys or diffuse to support the front-line infantry array at any time.

The war drums roared and the flags roared.

Everyone under the cavalry was full of fighting spirit and was approaching in an orderly manner.

On the other hand, the Cao army soldiers in the camp were pale and trembling.

Even if there are camp trenches and horse-resisting traps, they cannot bring any comfort to these Cao army soldiers, let alone feel no sense of security.

The soldiers of Cao's army felt deeply trapped in an endless swamp. Whether they were moving or not moving, it meant that death would come, sooner or later.

If Liu Zhu had not repeatedly emphasized that he would die if he went out of the camp and fought in the field, and that he would still have the possibility of waiting for reinforcements in the camp, these Cao army soldiers might have collapsed and fled in the previous rounds of artillery attacks.

But this is only temporary. Whether it is Liu Zhu or the Cao army soldiers, they all know this.
