    I would like to thank Gu Ah, the first helmsman of this book, for giving me a reward with my friend Yun Yan!  Haha, Qiyun is very happy to be cared for by you!

    At this time, it is impossible for anyone to hold Kong Rong responsible for the loss of Beihai.  I have nothing but deep sympathy for his similar experiences.  After a while, Emperor Xian finally restrained his cheerful smile, lowered his head and discussed a few words with Dong Cheng in a low voice.

    Then he said to Kong Rong, who was still depressed: "Mr. Kong, you should know these subordinates of yours best. In your opinion, what means should I use to successfully recruit these talented people?"  Serving the court?

    ¡°As long as Mr. Kong can win them over and we can successfully seize power.  The position of offering wine to the Imperial Academy of this dynasty belongs to Mr. Kong. Of course, in addition to the position of offering wine, I will also grant you the title of Marquis and the corresponding rewards!  look!  "

    Listening to the emperor¡¯s generous promise, the eyes of Kong Rong, the 20th generation of Confucius, have become blooming.  Although the Kong family's literary reputation is at an unparalleled pinnacle in today's world, it has always been mediocre in official circles.

    "Didn't the ancestor of the Confucius family, Kong Sheng, not have a good teaching platform at that time, which made the development of Confucianism so difficult? If in my generation, if the disciples of the Confucius family can become the master of Taixue, it will be regarded as realizing the dream of their ancestor Confucius.  Long-cherished wish.

    Representing the most talented scholars in the world, they will all be me, Kong Rong, and my direct disciples.  In this way, when I, a promising descendant, can worship my ancestors in a dignified manner, I can do so in a dignified manner.  "

    "Kong's benevolent Confucian classics can finally control the world context. In the not-too-distant future, Confucianism will become a truly handed down classic in the Han world. It can even spread to a wider area with the promotion of more knowledgeable people.  the world.

    Isn¡¯t it said that in the far west, thousands of miles away, there are many blond, blue-eyed, barbarian aliens?  We must let them also learn the traditional Chinese culture of our Han family and truly realize their ancestors¡¯ ambition to educate the world!  "

    Kong Rong, who was so excited by Emperor Xian's series of wishes, seemed to have seen the disciples of Confucius, and the day when their disciples truly filled the world had arrived.  The excited Kong Rong even expressed his gratitude to Emperor Xian.

    "The Emperor is wise, the Emperor is wise. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! The descendants of the Kong family are willing to devote themselves to the Emperor until they die!"

    The wishes of dozens of generations of descendants of the Confucius family can suddenly come true today.  Kong Rong, who was originally quite strict, was completely unable to control his emotions.

    He thanked the emperor for his kindness somewhat incoherently.

    And he made up his mind to contribute all his strength to the wise emperor and the court.  Kong Rong understood that if he joined the Jiangnan Army, he could only become a famous person in the Qunxian Pavilion at most.

    For the Confucius family, which has no shortage of literary names, how can it be more promising to be an ordinary celebrity and share the hardships with Emperor Xian?

    "Find wealth and honor amidst danger!" For his own future and the true rise of the Kong family, Kong Rong thought hard and hard as never before.

    Then he solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I think it's easy to say that Yi is a prince. Now he is just a small cavalry captain. All we need to do is to promote him to the third level and give him the position of general at will.

    The most important thing is Ziyi and Changxu. The emperor must promise high-ranking officials generous salaries so that his subordinates can lobby them.  Nowadays, many high positions in the imperial court, including generals of chariots and cavalry, chief commanders of horses, and generals, are all vacant.

    It would be better to give Tai Shici the position of general or chief Sima, so that he can lead the military.  As for giving it to Sun Shao, how about just letting him be the Master Situ of the new dynasty?  This also shows the sincerity of the court in seeking talents.

    And for them, only such a high position can be attractive enough!  "

    Hearing Kong Rong's idea of ??letting two "young men" occupy such a high position, the faces of a group of senior ministers, most of whom were already gray-haired, couldn't help but change their faces.

    Some people are wondering: "This Kong Rong himself occupied the position of Taixue Jijiu, and if he was too permanent, he still wanted to arrange for two of his old subordinates to serve as three princes! Among the three princes, his men accounted for two, could he?  Is it just for the emperor and the court?"

    "If Kong Rong's arrangements were followed, most of the highest official positions in the imperial court would be occupied by Kong Rong's Beihai troops.  As long as these three people really take office, their influence on the future direction of the imperial court will be huge and unparalleled.

    Even though the Beihai Group seems to be weak now, once they take power and want to take the initiative, talents who join their group will flock to them.  The Han Dynasty never lacked suitable talents; all it lacked was suitable official positions.

    Faced with Kong Rong¡¯s conditions, which were almost as big as a lion¡¯s mouth, even Emperor Xian, who was originally full of confidence, pinched his suddenly swollen forehead in silence.?.  He raised his head and was about to scold Kong Rong, but saw his uncle shaking his head gently at him.

    His heart suddenly became clear. After a while, he suppressed his anger and said calmly to Kong Rong: "Mr. Kong, don't you think that Tai Shi Ci and Sun Shao are too young to hold such high positions? This is the imperial court.  The position of the Three Lords!"

    It is not difficult at all to give Shiyi and Taishi Ci a general position.  But Kong Rong directly targeted Situ and Da Sima, who held the real power among the three princes.  This was not acceptable to Emperor Xian and his ministers.

    Emperor Xian, who had control of the overall situation, had to leave a suitable position to arrange the Yuan and Cao armies who came to serve the king.  Although the ministers in the palace are considered to be of high authority.  But the escort has done a good job, and now he is following the emperor unswervingly. Who will not go further?

    "If we first give away the most important position of the three princes, and let two young people in their thirties occupy the high position."  I'm afraid that neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao, anyone with some strength will be convinced.

    When they really come to Jinling and take control of the center, who knows what trouble will happen in the court.  Don't forget that the Jiangnan Army did not capture it by then, but instead fought into darkness within the court who was fighting for power.

    Seeing Kong Rong¡¯s face was a bit ugly, in order to successfully recruit strong support.  Emperor Xian could only patiently say: "Mr. Wenju, if Tai Shici can lead five thousand cavalry to serve the court, I will protect him as a great commander.

    "But since Sun Shao is in charge of grain, grass and taxation, what do you think if we don't let him take the post of chief agricultural officer?"  "

    ??The current emperor asked a minister who had neglected his duty so politely, this was already giving Kong Rong enough face.  However, the appointment of official positions in the imperial court required consultation with a criminal official in the law.  It has to be said that the imperial court has become extremely weak.

    But Emperor Xian, who had no military power at all, had no second way to go.  Kong Rong immediately bowed to Emperor Xian's suggestion.

    "Your Majesty is wise! If you are able to make prompt decisions and act like a wise king, our great Han Dynasty will definitely be able to recover soon! Since Your Majesty has made such a decision, I will obey the imperial edict! Your Majesty will go and get the matter done immediately! Your Majesty, just wait for your good news.  !¡±

    "Two of the three unpromising positions can at least allow Taishi Ci to control a big Sima.  What's more, Sun Shao became the great minister of agriculture, and could also be in charge of the production and use of food in the world. He was also an extremely important Jiuqing position.

    With the addition of Shi Yi, who is about to become a general, these three people plus Kong Rong himself, the Kong family¡¯s voice in the court will reach an unprecedented level.  Even if he faced Cao Cao or Yuan Shao directly, Kong Rong would not be afraid at all.

    As soon as the cheerful Kong Rong disappeared, the servant Han Rong snorted coldly.  Somewhat sinisterly, he whispered: "A rotten scribe actually wants to control the power of the imperial court! Not to mention whether your former subordinates can convince you and are willing to rebel against the Jiangnan Army with you.

    Even if Tai Shici led 5,000 troops, he still wanted to overwhelm Yuan and Cao's 200,000 troops?  What a foolish dream!  People's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants. The old master who has become stupid after reading this book is afraid that he will not know how he will die in the future!  "

    Although Han Rong's words were very soft, they could be heard clearly in the silent hall.  Surprisingly, no one wanted to refute his ridicule.  In the thoughts of Emperor Xian and his ministers, Han Rong spoke out everyone's thoughts at this moment!

    In the eyes of a group of cunning monarchs and ministers, Kong Rong was just a target that could be exploited.  At least having him active outside can add some chaos to the Jiangnan Army.  Secondly, it can also attract the attention of Jiang Nanjun.

    With the actions of Kong Rong, Emperor Xian and others can still have some cover even if they make some small moves.  The most important hope still lies in the tripartite alliance between Yuan Cao and the Hu tribe.  Of course, if Kong Rong could really instigate the important ministers of the Jiangnan Army to join the imperial court.

    Naturally, the emperor's monarch and minister were also inconceivable.  An action that can not only weaken the Jiangnan Army from within, but also significantly increase its own strength.  Who wouldn¡¯t like the monarchs and ministers who really want to restore the Han Dynasty?

    Jiangbei, sixty miles south of Yixu City, is located in a remote town near the river.  This once peaceful and peaceful town has now fallen into hell.  The entire town has been occupied by a group of semi-crazy barbarians.

    Killing and looting were carried out almost continuously throughout the town.  All the men in the town, young and old, strong and weak, were turned into corpses.  And all women, as long as they have some appearance, become the target of being robbed.

    In the wilderness outside the town, seven or eight thousand cavalrymen obviously belonging to one force were tightly surrounding each other.  There were many knights on horseback looking anxiously at the town while shouting something loudly.

    The right virtuous king of the Xiongnu, Qubei, looked gloomy.?Listening to the complaints of his subordinates, he sat upright on his horse like a rock, unmoved at all.

    Yin Siyue, King of Youguli, rode out of the town and shouted from afar towards Qubei: "King Youxian, the Yanzhou people did not lie to us. There are no officers and soldiers stationed in the town! Both the Qianghu and Xianbei people have occupied it.  Most of it, if we don¡¯t take action, we won¡¯t be able to catch it!¡±

    A group of arrogant cavalry surrounding King Youxian of the Xiongnu immediately started making noises.  They looked at their generals with longing eyes. As long as they got a positive signal, they would rush into the town and grab a good deal.

    Although they arrived relatively late, the fattest two-legged sheep must have been occupied by cavalry from other tribes who arrived first.  But I arrived late, so I could still make some money.  What's more, the Huns cavalry are not easy to bully. If they can't get the benefits they deserve, why can't they take it from others?

    In the expectation of everyone's return, King Youxian Qubei finally spoke.  But his cold voice, like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguished the almost uncontrollable enthusiasm of the Huns cavalry.

    "Shut up, everyone! If you don't want to die, get off your horse and eat the dry food you brought with you, and drink some highland barley wine and butter tea. Have a good rest! Siyue! Watch your own subordinates. I will take you when I don't want to.  Come and sacrifice your head to this king¡¯s military flag!¡±

    "Ah! Righteous King, Righteous King, you, you"

    The Huns cavalry shouted in confusion. Yin Siyue, who had never dared to disobey the king's orders, was a little confused this time.

    But he took the lead for his brothers and called out to Qu Lai: "Wise King, brothers have come all the way here, can't they do nothing but watch others plunder? Then it is better to let the brothers stay at home.  He¡¯s accompanying his own woman!¡±

    Being contradicted by his most loyal subordinate, the veins on Qubei's forehead popped out, and his face turned black and red at the same time.

    "Bold, you bastard, shut up! Yin Siyue, don't think that you can question my decision just because I trust you! If you want to lead your men to rob and kill, go ahead.  ! But don¡¯t forget what happened to that boy Liu Bao!¡±

    The master¡¯s scolding made Yin Siyue, the King of Youguli, suddenly speechless.

    But the dissatisfaction in his heart made him mutter involuntarily: "No! That boy Liu Bao, the wise king, died at the hands of Jiangnan Army! But this is still the land of Jiangbei. No matter how long his Jiangnan Army's hands are, how can he still reach into Cao Cao's territory?  Come?

    "Besides, it was only because Liu Bao was so ruthless that he directly used Han people as military rations, which caused the Jiangnan Army to counterattack.  We are just seizing the territory of Jiangnan Army's enemies, so what does it matter?

    The most I can do is order my brothers not to kill people or eat human flesh, but only to grab what they need.

    Even if you can bring a few iron pots back, it¡¯s better than traveling thousands of miles only to come back empty-handed!  If this is true, then these warriors in our tribe will be laughed to death by people from other tribes!  Wise King!  "

    At the end of the sentence, Yin Siyue's voice became deeper and deeper under the cold eyes of King Youxian.  Finally, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

    Seeing that King Youguli finally lost his voice, Qubei snorted coldly: "Humph! Is this the only thing that you, the majestic King Youguli, can do? A few broken iron pots can make you completely dizzy.  , are the high heads of you and your warriors worth a few iron pots?

    "I solemnly tell you, don't look at the guys in the town who are having fun right now.  They couldn't take away anything they stole.  And even if they killed everyone in the town, they wouldn't be able to get back to the outside of the Great Wall alive!  "

    ¡°What?¡± Yin Siyue¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief: ¡°Wise King! Could it be you?

    Before he could continue speaking, Qubei¡¯s bull¡¯s-eyes had already glared back at his words.  Before I could say anything else, another fast horse galloped from the town.  A sturdy Xianbei knight on horseback shouted immediately when he saw Qubei.

    "Dear Righteous King of the Huns, you are a step too late! We have captured this town, and my young master has invited the king. The young master said that the delicious two-legged sheep has been cooked, and the king is invited to go with him.  feast!"

    Qubei and Yin Siyue glanced at each other, only to see a fierce movement in each other's throats.  It seems that both of them thought of the long-lost two-legged sheep and the delicious taste.  Back then, the two of them often ate two-legged sheep, which was more delicious than the beef and mutton on the grassland.

    But Qubei, who had worries in his heart, finally restrained his appetite. Like the oldest fox on Langji Mountain outside the Great Wall, he opened his mouth and smiled.

    "Oh! Your young master Ke Bineng is really the most polite gentleman in the world, but I have already had dinner. In addition, there are still some important matters to be dealt with in the army, so I will not go to the banquet today. Please.  On behalf of my king, I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks to your young master.

    Tell him that there will be a chance next timeI will come to the court of the Huns.  This king invites him to taste the most grand slaughtering feast!  Haha, please come back, messenger!  "

    There was a trace of imperceptible disdain in the eyes of the sturdy Xianbei knight.  He simply made a fist-clenching gesture with his hands, pulled the reins of the horse and shouted softly, then turned the horse around and rushed towards the town without hesitation.

    In his heart, he thought with disdain: "This Xiongnu Youxian King is a king, but he doesn't have the blood of a man outside the wall at all! He is timid in doing things. Not only did he stumble late in the joint operation. When he arrived outside the town, he and others  They didn't even dare to enter the town and raid the people.

    With this cowardly king like him, those Huns cavalry could only live on eating dry food. They were really a bunch of pitiful guys.  I'm afraid I've never even tasted a real two-legged sheep feast!  What a coward!

    There will be a happy life following the young master!  If you want to kill Han people, you can kill them at will; if you want to set fire to them, you can set them on fire at will.  As long as we arrive in Han Dynasty, we Xianbei warriors are the masters of the local Han people.

    Steal all their things and enjoy their wives and daughters as you please.  After enjoying those beautiful and supple men and women, there are still delicious two-legged sheep to eat.

    Men outside the Great Wall should behave like this. This is the true warrior style!

    I¡¯d better go back quickly, report it to the young master, and then have a good meal.  I heard there are enough two-legged sheep this time.  In addition to grilling and making soup, the cooks actually found a dozen large steamers from the bun shop and made a steamed two-legged lamb dish.

    It is said that such a two-legged sheep steamed alive looks like a living one.  Because there is a lot of soup, it looks authentic and the meat taste is more delicate.  Everyone who has eaten it says it is delicious!  I was the only one who wanted to deliver a letter, and this was the first time I had the opportunity to taste it.

    hey-hey!  The killing methods of these guys are just like us soldiers, and they are getting more and more sophisticated.  I must try this original two-legged sheep!  Don¡¯t let those greedy guys eat it up, haha!  "

    The horse that was already running wildly outside the Great Wall seemed to sense that its master was hungry and anxious.  Under the urging of his master, he accelerated his running speed again.  There was only a thunderous sound of hooves and smoke that quickly dissipated outside the town.
