Chapter 165

Donglai Academy was built in search of the mountain. There is a courtyard at the foot of the mountain and a pavilion on the mountain.

There is only one open place in Qingzhou, that is Donglai Academy. It was founded by a man named Mr. Gong Tao in the sixth year after Cao Yi's defeat.

At the beginning of the establishment of Donglai college, there were only Mr. Gong Tao and a few students, and there were only a few thatched huts at the foot of the mountain. It really began to expand after the public admission.

In an age when knowledge is hard to find, having a way to acquire knowledge can be crazy enough to make people willing to pay a high price to study.

Donglai college openly teaches knowledge. In a very short time, it has a large number of students and enough manpower to start the necessary construction.

The thatched huts were soon cleaned up and replaced with brick courtyards, first one, then the second and third... Until a large courtyard group was formed.

The Academy at the foot of the mountain was established, and Donglai academy developed to a strong enough level. They began to build pavilions on the mountain.

Do you know how difficult it is to build a house on the mountain? All materials need to be transported manually, which is equivalent to leaving enough sweat brick by brick, and there may be a lot of brightly colored blood.

Of course, Laishan is one of the landmarks of Donglai county. Its altitude is not too high. I'm afraid it's difficult to have any "Fairy Spirit" in the built attic, at least there will be no thick fog.

Several bells rang in the mountains, and some scholars in white long shirts became a long line trotting. They walked through a stone hole bridge and thought about the courtyard opposite.

Donglai academy has a large number of pavilions on the mountain. Most of them are selected in areas with relatively flat terrain. Some attics seem to be deliberately selected next to steep mountain walls. Even the water of mountain streams is deliberately led to become waterfalls, so that although there is no beauty, they are close to the mountain and water.

For anyone who wants to do things well and bigger, it is inevitable to improve the style. How high the style can attract many people. For example, Mr. Gong Tao likes to choose when entertaining guests. Before a deliberately carved set of murals, there is a steep cliff like cliff in front, a real cliff on the left and a mountain path cut in a waterfall on the right.

In this deliberately planned open space, the ground is paved with green bricks. On a specially built high platform, there is a middle-aged man in a loose robe. He wears long hair at will, and his hair is dancing slightly with the mountain wind. With that faint smile on his face, he seems to be "forced".

The middle-aged man is Mr. Gong Tao! Below the high platform where he sat was a large crowd, with disciples uniformly dressed in white long clothes on the left and guests with mixed clothes on the right.

Mr. Gong Tao said a lot before. He didn't mean to learn anything, but to judge the situation in Qingzhou.

"So, the Han ministry gave up Changguang county and Dongmou County, we accepted them, and then elected the sheriffs of the two counties?"

"There are not many people left in the two counties in the Han Dynasty, but it's too early to give up?"

"No matter whether the Han ministry gives up or not, we have enough strength together, so what if we grab it."

In fact, all kinds of comments have been mixed for a while. Mr. Gong Tao, sitting on the high platform, has been listening with a smile. Who knows whether he is really listening?

Donglai academy has investigated a lot. The Han Dynasty appeared only four years ago, but it developed into a powerful local force in only four years. What puzzled Mr. Gong Tao was that he thought Liu Yan would expand in Qingzhou. He was worried about the major events that would affect them. Unexpectedly, Liu Yan first wreaked havoc on Shandong Peninsula, and then made a comprehensive withdrawal.

It's hard to understand why Liu Yan would do that when the situation is good from the perspective of normal people. That's because they don't know what will happen in the future. What's more, they don't understand that Liu Yan made a helpless choice after he couldn't capture the whole Qingzhou and upgrade the system.

Normal people should look at a thing with normal thinking. Maybe Liu Yan has a compelling reason, but the Ministry of Han is really evacuating Changguang county and Dongmou county.

Look at how many people there are in Changguang county and Dongmou County in the Han Dynasty. There have been families trading with the Han Dynasty, mostly using people to trade salt, weapons, etc.

The Han Dynasty has absorbed a large number of people for several consecutive years. If you have a heart, you will find that the number of people under Liu Yan's command (including slaves) should exceed 200000, but how many people are there in the two areas actually controlled by the Han Dynasty, Changguang county and Dongmou County?

"Prince bin agreed to our action." In a word, Mr. Gong Tao shut up the chaotic people. With a faint smile, "with the consent of Prince bin, is there any reason why we don't do it?"

Most people are nodding, but more people still hesitate.

Most of those nodding are Hu people's families. They have long been used to becoming fierce after getting the support of the strong. They will be at least a few times more fierce than usual. The situation is somewhat similar to that of a San Ge in later generations. He counsels very well, but as long as the master nods, he will bite fiercely.

What hesitates is the big family of Jin people. They don't have much ambition. It is also the environment that makes them dare not have too much ambition. Under the leadership of the Hu people, the Jin people are ambitious and will only become victims. Even if their actions win in the end, they get too little and pay far more than they think.

The Han Dynasty is actually quite good in the eyes of many jin people. Liu Yan usually doesn't embarrass anyone, and he doesn't collect taxes too much. He will show his ferocious side only when he is provoked.

Yes, if you can easily get Changguang county and Dongmou County, it's good for you to join the big guys, but although there are signs of withdrawing from the two counties in the Han Dynasty, it's not really withdrawing?

"The Li family and the Wang family have deep contact with Liu Yan." Mr. Gong Tao is definitely talking about the Li chunjia and Wang Xiaojia, some of whom were detained by Liu Yan. He continues to use a peaceful tone: "the Han Dynasty likes islands. Only the islands near Donglai have no less than 50000 people."

Those news are no secret. As long as we pay attention to the Han Dynasty, who doesn't know that the Han Dynasty has spent a lot of time building many islands.

In fact, after the Han Dynasty developed the Miao islands, those who learned that they could farm on the islands were completely stupid. I don't know how many regret that they didn't develop first.

Just when Mr. Gong Tao wanted to say something, someone came with a hurried footsteps.

The visitor went directly to the high platform and whispered a few words in Gong Tao's ear. He could see that the people below were stunned.

The smile on Mr. Gong Tao's face was obviously stiff. He waved his hand and asked the messenger to step down. He was silent for a while and said to the people below: "the Han Ministry... Has sent troops back to Qingzhou."

There is no need to hide it. The Han ministry has mobilized thousands of troops. I don't know where to come back. The movement will not be small. It's strange to be able to hide it.

The scene was quiet for a long time. Li Chun stood up first with a gloomy face: "Shanchang, I have something to do next. I'll leave first."

Li Chun was followed by the king's school, but the king's school left with only one salute without any hesitation.

Some people take the lead, and many others stand up and leave. The difference is that some people say good things, while others seem in a hurry.

Those who left are basically the families of Changguang county and Dongmou county. Many are close to the two counties. They are afraid that their families will be attacked after the Han Army returns. They must go back and make relevant preparations.

"Hehe, who else wants to leave?" Mr. Gong Tao's voice was much louder than before: "they are a little stupid."

In fact, there are many people below. Most of them showed a surprised expression when Mr. Gong Tao said that.

"Since Liu Yan returned to the army, he must know what happened." Mr. Gong Tao smiled for a while, narrowed his eyes and said, "since they know, they should stay and discuss. How did they leave?"

This time everyone nodded in agreement.

"Liu Yan has returned to the army, which proves that the Han ministry does not want to give up Changguang county and Dongmou county." Mr. Gong Tao said in a loud voice, "war is inevitable. Go back and prepare!"

At the last moment, he said to negotiate, and at the next moment, he called someone to go? At this moment, everyone stood up. Some people looked dignified and some were relaxed. It depends on how far they are from the Bingfeng in the Han Dynasty.

"Master?" Wang Yu was slightly confused: "you... Let them go?"

However, Mr. Gong Tao showed an unfathomable smile and kept smiling and silent.

He thought that the Han general team would not be transferred back for fun. There must be a large-scale military operation. In that way, as long as Liu Yan attacks anyone and participates in the negotiation to carve up Changguang county and Dongmou County, the families will be frightened and will eventually unite with Donglai Academy.

Mr. Gong Tao, what's the hurry? It's the families that should worry.

A wise man must make a mistake. What he said is that this is the situation now. If Mr. Gong Tao knew that Liu Yan's first target was Donglai academy and the army was already on the way, he would not remain "forced". But I don't blame him. Who makes Liu Yan always take an unusual road?

The troops of the Han Dynasty landed from Penglai. It should be about two days for the infantry to arrive at Laishan. The cavalry can arrive in one day. As a result, when Mr. Gong Tao earnestly taught Wang Yu, someone reported in a panic in the afternoon that a large number of cavalry were approaching Laishan.

Mr. Gong Tao's face flashed panic for the first time. He was stunned for a while, but he still didn't forget to "force Ge". It seemed that he calmly ordered: "dismiss the students."

How many students are there in Donglai college? In fact, it's not too much. It's probably less than 500. If you add a group of servants or something, there are two or three thousand people in Donglai college here in Laishan.

Is there an army in Donglai academy? On the surface, there is no army at all. If there are troops in the dark, it takes time to assemble, and it takes more time to deploy defense. Unless you know in advance that someone will attack, it is absolutely difficult to arrange effective defense for half a day.

Mr. Gong Tao listened to the bell ringing eagerly, looked at the evacuating crowd, and whispered in a tangled voice: "why not follow the routine? It should be the first to do it, but also to the families in the two counties. Why... Come here first?!"
