In the square in front of Deyang Hall, a group of examinees looked at the figure in front of the hall gate with admiration.
Their emperor, the one they will now serve.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Hong stepped forward, looked at the group of examinees below, concentrated his energy, and said loudly:
"The fact that you candidates are here today is enough to prove that you are all rare pillars of our great Han Dynasty."
The future of the nation rests on your shoulders.
I hope that after passing the assessment, you will not forget your original aspirations and use your knowledge to benefit the people.
"How fortunate are the people! How fortunate is the Han Dynasty!!"
Liu Hong's words were clearly heard by the surrounding soldiers and reached all the candidates present, who were all extremely excited.
"We will humbly obey Your Majesty's teachings!!"
The students all bowed to Liu Hong with the respect due to a disciple.
Having listened to the emperor's teachings and participated in the examination personally presided over by the emperor, it was only natural that they would consider themselves the emperor's disciples.
"The time has come, the assessment begins!!"
With a loud shout from the invigilator, all the candidates took their seats.
Soon, all the candidates received their exam papers and began to answer them carefully.
When Mao Jie saw the title of the topic, "On Economy and Education," he immediately understood.
An hour later, the assessment ended.
This assessment was completely unexpected by all the examiners.
Because in this assessment, almost all candidates answered all three sub-questions correctly, and their scores on the main questions were also all passing.
After careful review and selection by a group of examiners, only more than 300 candidates were eliminated, and the rest were all hired.
Its quality is far superior to that of the scions of those aristocratic families before.
Looking at the list of the top ten candidates, Liu Hong immediately spotted Mao Jie at the top and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
The next day, outside the Nangong Palace, candidates gathered and discussed the list of successful candidates posted on the notice board.
The name Mao Jie, listed first, is particularly striking.
"Brother Xiaoxian, congratulations on winning first place!!"
Several of Mao Jie's friends came forward with joy to congratulate him, as their names also appeared on the list of successful candidates, and were ranked very high.
Congratulations!
Mao Jie was also very happy and exchanged congratulations with his friends.
With that, the assessment process came to a close.
Liu Hong did not rush to assign these students from impoverished backgrounds who passed the assessment, but instead arranged for them to be trained in three different colleges.
All those who failed the exam sighed in their hearts, but also understood the reasons for their failure. They then began to focus on the various knowledge of the three colleges, and many of them applied to join the three colleges.
Suddenly, the three colleges became bustling with activity, with a constant stream of people coming to apply every day.
In just two days, the three colleges enrolled more than 10,000 new students, marking the beginning of a period of vigorous development for engineering, agriculture, and medicine.
......
Bingzhou Camp.
On the vast training ground, the north wind howled, banners fluttered, and the thunderous drumbeats stirred the blood.
In the center of the training ground, five thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry were divided into three square formations: left, middle, and right. Each square formation was further divided into three rows: front, middle, and rear.
Riding a red steed, Lü Bu stood at the front of the central formation. Thanks to his gleaming armor, he shone brightly in the sunlight, exuding unparalleled majesty.
All the wolf riders silently watched Lu Bu ahead, their wolf heads looming overhead.
Lu Bu's face was serious, and his sharp eyes were fixed on a square formation three hundred meters away.
This formation is made up entirely of scarecrows, which are covered with discarded armor from the army. It looks quite spectacular from a distance.
"Thump!"
As the last drumbeat fell, Lü Bu immediately opened his eyes, raised his halberd, and the five thousand soldiers behind him immediately pulled on the reins.
"Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, charge!!"
With a loud shout, Lü Bu swung his halberd down, the tip pointing straight ahead.
Lu Bu spurred his steed, and like an arrow released from a bow, he galloped off.
"charge!!!"
The wolf riders shouted in unison and followed closely behind, the three groups of soldiers charging forward in a triangular formation.
Charging to within 200 meters of the target, Lü Bu let out a loud shout and then twirled his halberd.
The soldiers in the three formations took out their crossbows in the first row, while the soldiers in the second and third rows took out their specially made horse bows, bent them, and nocked arrows.
"Release the arrows!!"
At Lü Bu's command, the first rank of cavalry immediately pulled the triggers of their crossbows.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
Countless crossbow bolts whistled through the air as they hurtled towards the target formation.
At the same time, after the soldiers in the first rank pulled the trigger, they immediately leaned over the horse's back and took down the long gun hanging on the side.
Immediately afterwards, the second rank of cavalry loosened their bowstrings, and countless arrows whistled out again. Then they bent down to hang their bows and draw their spears, followed by the third rank.
Three waves of arrows poured out in a triangular pattern.
Lü Bu and his five thousand wolf cavalry charged toward the target formation, following behind the rain of arrows.
Five thousand wolf riders shot arrows and drew their spears in just three breaths, their movements perfectly synchronized and fluid, without the slightest hesitation.
It is clear that this situation is extremely difficult to achieve without dozens of rigorous training sessions.
"Hiss hiss hiss~"
The arrows flew at lightning speed and pierced through the scarecrow's armor in an instant, demonstrating the power of the crossbow and the specially made horse bow.
