It is obviously impossible to test top historical figures such as Pang Tong, Lu Su and Xun You solely through the imperial examinations.

This kind of defense policy is only one part of their abilities.

Lin Han did not stay at Pang Tong's position for too long. He walked to other positions and took a look around before leaving with satisfaction, allowing the many scholars to continue answering.

The palace examination lasts for three days, and all officials can come and go freely. After they finish answering the questions, the Ministry of Rites will judge them and select the top three.

"Your Majesty, the first top scholar has been selected."

Cai Yong found Lin Han and presented the results of the first imperial examination.

The top three lists are all out.

The top scorer was Lu Su, the second place was Chen Qun, and the third place was Pang Tong.

Lin Han was surprised when he saw the list. Xun You was not among them, and Pang Tong, who was as famous as Crouching Dragon, was only ranked third.

However, in this first imperial examination where so many geniuses gathered, it did not seem too surprising that Xun You lost the top three spots, and it also seemed understandable that Pang Tong lost the first place.

Because the palace examination is, after all, just an examination, it only represents a part of their abilities, not all of their abilities.

Lu Su and Chen Qun were also very capable and were considered top talents.

"The papers from the palace examination all had their merits. The four most outstanding candidates were Pang Tong, Xun You, Lu Su, and Chen Qun. They all had the same scores, so theoretically, they were neck and neck. There wasn't much debate about who would take first place.

"But Lord Xun Yu said that in order to avoid suspicion and the perception of favoritism in the first imperial examination, Xun You should be withdrawn from the competition for the top three. "We, the officials, have voted to determine that Lu Su will be the top scholar, Chen Qun the second, and Pang Tong the third," Cai Yong explained.

Lin Han nodded in understanding.

He didn't care too much about the ranking. To him, it didn't matter who was number one among these people. They were all people he wanted to use. The top scholar was just a title.

"Lu Su was assigned to the Ministry of Rites as Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs. Chen Qun was assigned to the Department of Cleaning Officials as Director, responsible for managing official ranks and promotions. Pang Tong was assigned to the Secretariat as a clerk. Xun You was assigned to the Secretariat as the Imperial Court Assistant Minister."

Lin Han assigned corresponding positions to the four people, all of which were jobs they were good at.

Although Pang Tong was a clerical secretary when he entered the Secretariat, he would be able to come into contact with the core layer and core decision-making content in the future. Promotion would be relatively beneficial and would also help him to display his talents.

…

"Report to the general, Luoshui is thirty miles ahead." The scout reported the military situation.

After destroying the Donghui tribe, Zuo Xi's troops marched straight into the areas of Fa Qiang and Tang Mao, and were unable to match their enemies.

In front of us is Lhasa, the political center of Tang Mao, which belongs to the royal city.

Military intelligence from Bai Qi arrived early, and the Tangmao people in the Pamir Mountains area south of the Tianshan Mountains had been destroyed.

If Luoshui were captured, it would mean the end of the Tang Dynasty. The southwestern plateau would fall under the control of the Great Xia Empire.

"Form an army and advance." Zuo Xi ordered.

The God and Demon Guards immediately formed an army formation and slowly advanced towards Luoshui.

Half an hour later, Luosi, the central city of Tang Mao State, came into Zuo Xi's sight.

Lhasa does not look prosperous, and is not much different from the small cities in the Central Plains. The dynasty palace is built on a high mountain and has an amazing spiritual energy.

The Tangmao people responded quickly to Zuo Xi's arrival, and a large number of them began to gather and sharpen their swords.

Soon, Zuo Xi's troops arrived at the city.

Gray fog slowly emerged from the military formation.

Demonic array!

A terrifying black snake rose up from the army formation, its red eyes looking cruel.

The killing began.

…

The imperial examination was completed successfully, and the martial arts examination was also completed at the same time, and the list was delivered to Lin Han's desk.

After comprehensive evaluation of multiple projects, Chen Dao became the top martial arts champion, Yu Jin ranked second, and Lu Xun, who was only sixteen years old, came in third.

Compared with the competition in the imperial examinations, the competition for talent in the military examinations was not as terrifying.

The ranking is not controversial.

Chen Dao's martial arts skills reached the Golden Elixir realm, and he became the best in the selection of martial arts champion.

Whether in terms of military strength or leadership, Chen Dao was at the forefront. Lu Xun was young, and although he was an outstanding military strategist, he lacked personal strength.

Lin Han arranged for Chen Dao to join the Jinyiwei as a captain; Yu Jin and Lu Xun to join the army as deputy commanders, allowing them to rely on their own strength to establish military merits and further promotion.

The rankings of the imperial examinations and military examinations were announced to the world.

This caused an uproar among players.

With one move, Lin Han gathered all the talents in the world and brought them into his possession. Now, all the heroes of the late Eastern Han Dynasty have fallen into Lin Han's hands, and no player can match him.

Now the Dynasty China server is almost certain to be ruled by Lin Han.

"Zuo Xi, under the player's command, led the Divine and Demonic Guards to capture Tang Mao's capital, Luoshui. Tang Mao was destroyed, and the player's territory expanded, and the country's fortune increased."

The sudden appearance of the system prompt cheered up the bored Lin Han.

The Fa Qiang and Tang Mao states were destroyed, and the Himalayas, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Kunlun Mountains, and Tianshan Mountains were incorporated into the territory. The national strength of Daxia soared again, and its national fortune soared.

As soon as the system prompt came out, the guard in charge of communications hurried over to report.

The Divine Demon Guards commanded by Bai Qi successfully destroyed the Fa Qiang and Tang Mao nations.

Lin Han immediately summoned Ma Yuanyi, Xun Yu and others.

"Just now, we received victory news from the front lines. The Fa Qiang and Tang Mao nations have been annihilated, and their territories have been incorporated into Great Xia. Immediately arrange for the Ministry of Works to construct cities along the border in preparation for the war beyond the border in two years."

Upon hearing this, Ma Yuanyi and Xun Yu were overjoyed.

The territory of Daxia has expanded again, which is a good thing. They have greater strategic depth to deal with the upcoming war outside the domain.

The two of them arranged for the most elite craftsman camp of the Great Xia Empire to be transported to the old territories of Fa Qiang and Tang Mao.

Three large cities were quickly built under the auspices of the artisan camp.
