Although communication was inconvenient in ancient times, and there was no telephone or Internet, such a sensational thing about the opening of the imperial examination also spread quickly.

Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Jingzhou and other places, although not the places directly ruled by Liu Wei, but the news swept like wings.

Of course, a few families are happy, and after the news spreads, there are naturally people who are worried.

The first to bear the brunt of this is the big family, although Liu Wei also gave them some privileges.

However, the influence of this imperial examination system will sooner or later impact them, and many families will naturally be restless.

Of course, there are also those who are sorrowful, and those who are in other states and counties.

They are all eager to move immediately, and some of them are looking forward to Liu Wei being able to end the troubled times as soon as possible and dominate the world.

At that time, they do not need to leave their hometowns, and they can also take the imperial examination conveniently.

"Our Majesty is really a good means." Yanzhou, after Cao Cao received the news of the imperial examination system, he said coldly.

Even he had to sigh that this imperial examination system was indeed a pioneering achievement.

Moreover, in this way, not only can it win the support of the people, but once the examination begins, a large number of officials can be quickly recruited to fill the vacancies.

"As soon as this system comes out, it will surely be imitated by future generations." Finally, Cao Cao sighed and said.

In terms of employing people, he has always been a meritocracy, but this time, Cao Cao also had to admit the significance of this imperial examination system.

"I'm afraid that as soon as this imperial examination comes out, many people will be even more eager to do it." Cheng Yu shook his head and said with a frown.

Cao Cao naturally understood in his heart after listening to Cheng Yu's words, but he had no way to stop this.

There are really people who want to relocate, if he stops it, I am afraid that he will be even more spurned, and this imperial examination system will be a shortcut for ordinary people to turn over.

But if they are allowed to relocate, the population of the state and county will decline, and production will naturally decrease.

Money and food are reduced, a cycle is formed, and the gap in strength will be even greater at that time.

"Cao Gong doesn't need to worry, although this move is a pioneering move and is beneficial to the people, it is not conducive to the family after all."

Sima Yi thought about it for a while and then said, this imperial examination system is to take resources from the hands of the family, how can they give up.

Cao Cao naturally understood what Sima Yi said, but Cao Cao himself was dissatisfied with the monopoly of the family.

So he is also very repulsive at this point, and it is precisely because of this that Cao Cao also appreciates the imperial examination system promulgated by Liu Wei.

"But the family is weak after all, not to mention that now in troubled times, under the iron hoof, I am afraid that even the family will be afraid."

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi and said, in the troubled times, if the family does too much, I'm afraid Liu Wei will not show mercy.

"I already know the meaning of the lord, but for the lord, now is a good opportunity to win over the family."

Sima Yi actually understood that Cao Cao was also dissatisfied with the family, and he had a grudge.

"My lord, Zhongda's words are reasonable." Cheng Yu also nodded at this time, and also opened his mouth to admonish.

Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu and Sima Yi, then sighed and nodded, "I understand." ”

"Now that Liu Wei has promulgated the imperial examination system, other princes will inevitably be affected by it, and it won't be long before Liu Bei will withdraw his troops."

After a while, Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao and continued to speak.

Now that Lu Bu has been persuaded by himself, Liu Bei's continued persistence will not have any effect.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to withdraw from the army is the best opportunity for Liu Bei at present.

"Lord, I am willing to go to Liu Bei's camp, and I will let him withdraw from the Yanzhou territory within ten days."

Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao and swore that after all, even if Liu Bei was allowed to withdraw from the army, he would still have to give him a step down.

Cao Cao also understood what Sima Yi meant, and knew why he wanted to go to Liu Bei's camp, so he naturally nodded and agreed.

After Cao Cao nodded in agreement, Sima Yi went to Liu Bei's tent in the starry night.

"Sima Yi is here?" Liu Bei spoke after listening to the soldier's report.

He had already understood that his attacks on Yanzhou had failed these times, and he saw that the person who had planned Pang Ji was this Sima Yi.

So after hearing the news that Sima Yi was coming, Liu Bei was naturally very surprised.

"At this time, Sima Yi came, I don't know what the conspiracy is?" Liu Bei looked at Pang Tong on the side and asked.

"I think Cao Cao has also learned that after Liu Wei promulgated the news of the imperial examination system, he wants to suspend his army."

Pang Tong thought for a moment, stroked his beard, and then nodded and said.

"Lord, now that Lu Bu has slowed down his offensive, it is only in vain for us to continue to attack at this time, and it is time to retreat."

"Alas, it's a pity that the success fell short, if this battle of Guandu can be extended for a while, it will be a big thing." Liu Bei sighed and said.

It was because the battle of Guandu ended sooner than he thought, so not only did Cao Cao have the opportunity to come back to help.

Even Han Sui didn't find a chance to do it, so he could only delay it, and he was looking for other opportunities to prepare to do it in the future.

"The matter has come to this, the lord should let Sima Yi in."

Pang Tong naturally felt sorry, he didn't expect that Xi Zhicai would end the battle of Guandu at the cost of his life.

is willing to use his life to allow Liu Wei to take the land of Yuzhou.

"Come in." After Liu Bei heard Pang Tong's words, he immediately raised his hand and spoke.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, but Sima Yi, as Cao Cao's messenger, can only see each other when he arrives now.

Not long after the big tent, Sima Yi walked into the big tent in a green robe and plain robe.

"Sima Yi has seen General Liu." After Sima Yi entered the big tent, he first glanced around at everyone, and then looked at Liu Bei and said.

"Don't be polite, let's say, what did Cao Cao send you for? It's just that you can't surrender. ”

Liu Bei looked at Sima Yi and mocked with a deliberate smile.

"General Liu, do you really know how to joke and surrender? Are you worthy? ”

Sima Yi immediately sneered, looked at Liu Bei and said.

"You..."Liu Bei was immediately angry, "What a big boldness, someone came to pull this Sima Yi out for me and cut it down." ”

I thought that this Sima Yi was actually making peace, and he could take this opportunity to ridicule him, but he didn't expect Sima Yi to lose face.

"Lord, no, the two armies are fighting, if you don't kill Sima Yi, Cao Cao will definitely not stop."

After hearing this, Pang Tong immediately opened his mouth to persuade, but he was also a little speechless in his heart.

"Lord, the overall situation is important, don't lose a big one because of a small one."

Pang Tong added a sentence and continued, this Sima Yi dared to speak so directly and provoked, presumably he also had a backhand.

So at this time, if Sima Yi is not really eliminated, it will be another disaster.

In today's situation, if you offend Cao Cao, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Xuzhou to be saved by then.

"Hmph." After Liu Bei heard Pang Tong's words, he waved his sleeves and snorted coldly, looking at this Sima Yi without speaking.

"In today's situation, I think you all understand that instead of fighting and losing in the end and cheapening others, it is better to take this opportunity to retire and recuperate."

Sima Yi didn't look at Liu Bei, but looked at Pang Tong on the side.

In his opinion, it only needs Pang Tong to understand what he means.

After Pang Tong listened to Sima Yi's words, of course he understood what Sima Yi meant.

Both sides lose, and the last one to get the benefit is likely to be Liu Wei, if Liu Wei continues to have the advantage at this time.

Then the end result will be obvious.

This is not the result that Pang Tong wants to see, if this is the result he wants, he doesn't need to continue to work hard here.

"I already understand what you mean, and since that's the case, then you can go back too." Finally, Pang Tong looked at Sima Yi and said.

Anyway, Sima Yi's attitude just now offended Liu Bei, obviously not taking Liu Bei seriously.

As a subordinate, Pang Tong was naturally very unhappy at this time.

But as displeasing as it is, that's exactly what happened.

After Sima Yi listened to Pang Tong's words, he smiled and turned around and left.

"Fuck off, how dare he humiliate me like this and say I'm not worthy?" Liu Bei immediately roared after Sima Yi left.
