"Report!"
"Come in."
Kong Min was sitting upright behind the writing desk, and Qi Zhen and Zhuge Liang were sitting below.
As a local official, Kong Min could not imagine that there were people in the world who were so knowledgeable and talented. Even though Qi Zhen and Zhuge Liang were simply dressed, their speech and behavior were extraordinary, whether it was about the general situation of the world, medical horoscopes, or military management. Taoists are like dragons and phoenixes among people, and they can often hit the key points in just a few words, which really makes Kong Niao look at him with admiration.
It has been nearly a week since Qi and Zhen arrived in Yuzhou. They lived in the governor's mansion and had nothing to do every day. The most common thing they did was to chat with Kong Nian in his room. Kong Nian liked this very much. , so the three of them talked about the situation for nearly a week.
The division of labor between Qi Zhen and Kong Ming is extremely clear. Kong Ming is responsible for integrating current affairs, and Qi Zhen is responsible for popularizing science methodology. Often when Qi Zhen's arguments come out, not only Kong Nian but also Kong Ming will praise them repeatedly and be shocked again and again.
Although Qi Zhen didn't know which famous people in which dynasty had inadvertently spread those famous quotes, but they undoubtedly came about after the Han Dynasty, so it was not surprising that they were shocked.
Today, Qi Zhen was talking about the small hermit hiding in the wild, the middle hermit hiding in the city, and the great hermit hiding in the court. As soon as this theory came out, Zhuge Liang was shocked. He secretly savored it for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more profound he felt what Qi Zhen said, and It was secretly pointing at herself, and Qi Zhen couldn't help but feel a little grateful.
Zhuge Liang was about to find a famous person in history to give an example of this sentence, but he heard a soldier outside the door reporting something important, so he stopped talking.
Qi Zhen and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and nodded.
Of course, the two of them were not idle. They talked loudly with Kong Niao all day long. The two of them were waiting for the reports from the spies who went to Luoyang and Xuzhou.
The spy who rushed to Xuzhou two days ago had already reported that Qi Zhen and Zhuge Liang were present, and they were fooled by Qi Zhen without any surprise.
The spy was dressed in the clothes of ordinary people. After entering the door, he looked at Qi Zhen and Zhuge Liang with a look of embarrassment on his face.
After all, they were investigating the identities of Qi Zhen and Qi Zhen. It was normal for them to be surprised and at a loss for words.
"It's okay, just tell me." Kong Min said.
In fact, since he learned that Tao Qian was indeed going to attack him from Xuzhou, he had already believed Qi Zhen and Qi Zhen's identities. Moreover, the two of them had never shown any greed, and they shared the same interest in talking with him. , after forgetting the identity of the prime minister's secret envoy in the past few days, the two sides actually felt a bit sympathetic to each other.
At least that's what he thinks.
"The imperial court received Tao Qian's report half a month ago and sent two secret envoys on the same day. However, the identity and name of the secret envoys are unknown, and their whereabouts are unknown. The subordinates cannot find out in any way." The subordinate replied loudly.
"What are you still investigating? Aren't these two emissaries right in front of you?" Kong Min said with a smile.
"Go down."
"yes."
The subordinate turned and left. When he was approaching the gate of the government office, he was still wondering why the lord was still smiling even though he had clearly said that the imperial court had not sent any secret envoys? Could it be that something new has happened during the few days since I left?
"Two worthy brothers, it is I who judge the gentleman's belly with a villain's heart." After his subordinates left, Kong Niao stood up and bowed deeply to Qi Zhen and Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen concealed her Sharingan, laughed with Kong Ming, and returned the greeting.
"In this case, it's not appropriate to delay. We'll be on our way soon," Qi Zhen said.
"Ah? So urgent?" Kong Min was shocked. He didn't expect Qi Zhen and Qi Zhen to leave in such a hurry.
"Yes, we had no evidence before, and we stayed in your house to prove our innocence. Now that we are completely clear, we have to go to Xuzhou non-stop to persuade Tao Qian. It would be great if we can reduce the number of fights. Things." Qi Zhen said.
"This... blames me for complaining. It's better to stay at home for two more days. Why is it so urgent?" Kong Min then asked.
"On this trip, I wanted to go east and west with Brother Zhuge to keep Xuzhou and Yuzhou safe, but Brother Gongxu didn't seem to have this intention, so it's really inconvenient for the two of us to disturb each other." Zhuge Liang continued.
"This... is my problem." Kong Min walked down the stairs, bowed deeply in front of Zhuge Liang, and said sincerely: "I would like to worship Mr. Zhuge as a military advisor."
"I dare not accept such a big gift from you." Zhuge Liang hurriedly helped Kong Min up.
If you don't dare to accept the big gift, then the military advisor dares to accept it.
Qi Zhen was walking on the way to Yingchuan, and she was still thinking about why the ancients liked to be polite. You must be polite when you come here, and I will be polite when I go back. If you didn't give in, you would be embarrassed to put this thing in your pocket. inside.
For example, Liu Bei surrendered to Xuzhou three times.
Well, let’s just say that Xuzhou was a hot potato at the time. Liu Bei knew he couldn’t hold it when he took it over, but when he changed hands and wanted to give Xuzhou to Lu Bu and Chen Gong, those two people were still very jealous of Xuzhou. As a result, Chen Gong still refused to occupy the magpie's nest again and again, but he had to sneak attack from behind when Liu Bei was attacking Yuan Shu, and forced Liu Bei to Xiaopei.
So sometimes Qi Zhen really can't understand the brain circuits of these ancients. Why, I can't take what you gave me for free. I have to rely on my own strength to snatch it away to feel at ease?
Thinking that Zhuge Liang could finally settle down in Yuzhou City, Qi Zhen felt relieved.
Naturally, he couldn't really go to Xuzhou as Zhuge Liang said. Tao Qian ruled the Qingming Dynasty and was a nice person, so why bother bothering such a benevolent and righteous man.
The destination of his trip was Yingchuan, Yangdi to be precise.
There was someone there whom Qi Zhen had to win over no matter what.
If Zhuge Liang is the number one counselor in the Three Kingdoms in name, then this man is actually the number one counselor in the Three Kingdoms.
It was only because of his untimely death at the age of only 38 that Zhuge flourished in the Three Kingdoms for a long time.
Some people say that it was precisely because of his existence that Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion. It was not until he died of illness that Zhuge Liang came out to rule the world.
This person is also what Huang Yueying said, "that person" in Yuzhou.
If he were here, Zhuge Liang's light would also be overshadowed by him.
History books call him "a genius in strategy and a wonder in the world."
Chairman Mao once commented that he was an outstanding resourceful man in history, with extraordinary talents, resourcefulness, suggestions, and outstanding achievements. His theory of ten victories involves almost every aspect of Chinese military thinking. Rarely.
This is also the most important reason why Qi Zhen chose Yuzhou as the last place to stay before the Eighteenth Route Princes gathered for an alliance.
The so-called "Ten Victories and Ten Defeats" is the counselor's analysis of strategies for victory and defeat between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, establishing his core position in Cao Cao's think tank in one fell swoop.
Later, there was a plan to imprison Liu Bei without killing him, defeat Lu Bu, and defeat Wuhuan. Each one of them proved this man's amazing talent.
This person was the later Weiyang Tinghou, the still unknown Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao.
In fact, Qi Zhen often doesn't quite understand why these top counselors in the Three Kingdoms choose to live in seclusion, no matter whether they are hiding in the wild or in the city. She probably feels that she will not be taken seriously by others if she comes to visit people and introduces herself so carelessly. One by one, thieves are waiting for the price, waiting to discover their true talents after meeting the master, and then choose to shine.
Thanks to the team's familiarity with the history of the Three Kingdoms, otherwise they wouldn't be able to be so targeted.
Zhuge Liang has been living in seclusion in Nanyang, and Guo Jia has been living in seclusion in Yangzhai. Before Pang Tong followed Liu Bei, he was just the county magistrate of Leiyang, and he was still the kind of magistrate who did not do his job properly.
All in all, if the mountain doesn't come to me, then I will go to the mountain. In a time of troubled times like the Three Kingdoms, Qi Zhen doesn't want to miss out on those amazing celebrities. Every time he misses one, he is undoubtedly delivering ammunition to the enemy. When the time comes, it’s you who will suffer the consequences.
Yuzhou is an inconspicuous place among the thirteen states in the world. Again, it has never produced a unique hero or a general who can defeat ten thousand enemies. Therefore, throughout the Three Kingdoms, almost no one is too I have never cared about Yuzhou, a place that doesn’t seem to be very important.
But Yingchuan County is an outlier among Yuzhou.
Lu Buwei, Zhang Liang, and Han Feizi all came from Yingchuan County. After Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, seven of the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai came from Yingchuan. In later generations, it was said that half of the counselors of the Three Kingdoms came from Yingchuan.
It can be said that Yingchuan is fashionable and not well-known here, but if you look at it in the entire history of the Three Kingdoms, this place is simply the cradle of conspirators.
Therefore, Qi Zhen prefers to regard Yingchuan as a separate place rather than Yuzhou as a whole.
Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have used Xuchang as the capital of the princes to hold hostage from the emperor.
Xun Yu was from Xuchang; Xun You was from Xuchang; Chen Qun was also from Xuchang; Xu Shu was also from Xuchang.
Xi Zhicai was recommended to Cao Cao by Xun Yu, who was from Yangdi. Later, when he died, he recommended Guo Jia, who was also from Yangdi.
Whether it is Xuchang or Yangzhai, they are definitely the boundaries of Yingchuan County.
So this place is really a bit magical. Even before the people of Qizhen arrived in Yingchuan, they had vague expectations for this trip.
In fact, Qi Zhen prefers Xun Yu to join the team compared to Guo Jia.
Counselors are also divided into categories. In the words of later generations, they have specializations in their crafts.
In terms of counselors for foreign wars, Qi Zhen's first choice was Guo Jia, Lu Xun, Zhou Yu, and Pang Tong. If she could get two of them, Qi Zhen would laugh out of her dreams.
Zhang Zhao and Xun Yu were not selected as military advisors for internal affairs.
Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying are not counted, they are all-rounders.
There is also Sima Yi, King Gou. It's not that Qi Zhen has never thought about that person, but he just wants to think about it now. If he decides to recruit him, it will not take a year and a half.
