The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 303 The Storm Is Hidden in the Waves
The ensuing fight was extremely simple and quick.

After Cheng Yuanzhi jumped onto the ring, he knocked Kua Nagu off the stage with one punch in just three rounds, vomiting three liters of blood.

It only took Amu a dozen rounds to lift Kua Cha Gu, the youngest member of the Kua family, high into the air and slam him down onto the stage, causing him to faint from the shock.

Ah Hu fought fiercely with the weakest Laowu Kuabagu for a while, and finally used a lunge to raise his knees and bend his elbows, severely injuring his opponent and successfully winning the ring.

So far, the second day of fighting has ended, and the biggest winner has become Shamoke, with Xiongximan occupying four rings and firmly ranking first.

As long as tomorrow can continue to finish with this result, then Sha Moke is likely to be the winner of the first round of fighting.

As for Chenximan, who originally occupied six rings, now there are only four rings left, Kua Nai Gu and Su Gai, and they are No.2.

At night, when twilight comes, bonfires rise in the Xiongximan village, and handsome men and women sing and dance to celebrate the victory.

Samoko sat on the throne, laughed loudly, and drank one cup after another with everyone, his face full of pride.

Cheng Yuanzhi sat beside him with a wine bowl in one hand, feeling an unpleasant feeling rising in his heart for no reason.

Although the situation in Xiongxi Man is very good, this bad feeling is getting stronger and stronger uncontrollably.

Cheng Yuanzhi immediately frowned and pondered secretly: Wuximan, who has never made a move, what strategy will he adopt tomorrow?

Tian Ji races a horse or secretly cheats on Chen Cang?

No matter which strategy they used, the Wuxi barbarian leader was so sure that all five of his men would win?

It's not easy!

The level of martial arts can only be known after fighting, and the strength of an individual cannot be measured by visual inspection alone.

For example, today's Kwaba Gu, although he is the weakest of the five Kua family brothers, Ah Hu almost never beat him.

So, why does the Wuximan leader think that his tribe can have the last laugh?

Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't figure it out.

The next day.

The twelve arenas are surrounded by crowds of people.

The leader of the Wuxi barbarians waved his hand, and the five majestic men beside him stepped out in unison, heading straight for the ring.

The five warriors did not come to challenge Sugai and Kua Laosi, nor did they come to challenge Sha Moke and Cheng Yuanzhi, but to challenge five of the other six rings.

After a while, after five fierce fights.

All five of them won the five rings without any risk.

In this way, the final winner of the first level was Wu Ximan. Shamoko's Xiong Ximan was reduced to No. 2 after four stages. Chen Ximan, who was coaxed before the start of the game and was determined to win the championship, only Got No.3.

It wasn't until this time that Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly realized that it was a pity that the overall situation was settled and there was no way to recover.

After this incident, he also deeply realized that there are still capable people among the barbarians, and not all of them are as incompetent as he imagined.

The three-level final victory meeting is still going on.

All the barbarians regrouped and tried their best for the next two levels, vowing to win the title of barbarian king.

But let's not mention this for now.

On the other side, Changsha County, Lingnan Houfu.

All the civil and military people gathered together, arguing fiercely with each other.

Sun Quan sat high on the throne, frowning deeply.

There were so many things today, one after another, without giving him the slightest chance to breathe.

Fortunately, most of them are good things, otherwise Sun Quan felt that his meeting would definitely be broken.

After successively dealing with the three major events of his subordinates persuading the king of Wu to enter Wuling, deploying defenses in Wuling to prevent Liu Bei's eastward conquest, and requesting marriage with the state of Wei, Lu Meng said that the Wuxi barbarians had recently disobeyed the rule and were about to make a move, and proposed an immediate crusade.

Because of this incident, the civil and military forces were divided into two factions, and they quarreled endlessly in the hall, which made Sun Quan dizzy.

The main combat faction, headed by general Lu Meng, advocated that when the Wuxi barbarians were unprepared and all the ministries were still in a state of scattered sand, they should divide their troops into [-] groups, and wipe out their minions with the speed of thunder and steal the bell, eliminating hidden dangers.

The Zhuhe faction, headed by the civil servant Lu Su, advocates appeasement, and should not use weapons rashly unless it is absolutely necessary.

Lu Su listed two reasons: First, Jingnan needs to defend Wei in the east and north, and Liu Bei in the west, and it is impossible to send as many troops as the Twelve Route Army.

Secondly, Wuxi Man has [-] to [-] capable fighters, and the number of soldiers sent is small, so the outcome is unpredictable. If they fail, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, appeasement is the top priority, and military warfare is the bottom.

Sun Quan rubbed his forehead helplessly, and asked, "This matter will be discussed later, do you have anything else to do?"

Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and said, "My lord, there is one more important matter."

Sun Quan asked, "What's the big deal?"

Zhang Zhao organized his speech and spoke eloquently: "Yuan She attaches great importance to the selection of talents. Recently, he first adopted Chen Qun's suggestion and implemented the nine-level Zhongzheng system; then he asked his eldest son Dabai to supervise the country and issued a 'recruitment order' ’, it seems like there is a big move.”

As he spoke, Zhang Zhao recited the contents of the "Nine Grades of Zhongzheng System" and "Recruitment Order" for everyone to listen to.


It is no small matter that Jiupin Zhongzheng is a talent selection uniform that is ahead of its time.
Sun Quan's name is Wei Chen, but in fact he regards Wei as an imaginary enemy all the time. He often compares his own policy outline with Wei's and chooses the best one. When he suddenly heard about this system today, he was immediately shocked, closed his eyes and shook his head, and chanted softly. think.

Most of the people in the hall are people of insight, and they were all shocked when they heard it.

Only Lu Meng heard that his head was as big as a fight, and asked Zhuge Jin beside him in a low voice: "Doctor Zhuge, what is this Jiupin Zhongzheng system talking about? I just have a half-knowledge."

Zhuge Jin knew that Lu Meng was a crude warrior in the past and was ignorant of literature. Although he had been studying hard recently, he was still a dabbler. Just when he was about to explain, he suddenly heard Lu Su say: "We have been separated for three days. How come Ziming still doesn't understand?"

This sentence actually has something to say.

When Lu Su succeeded Zhou Yu as the Commander-in-Chief and took office on the front line in Changsha, he saw that Lu Meng was holding the scroll every day, so he asked him: "As a military general, is it too late to think about studying hard when you are older?" Who knew that Lu Meng would not take it off? But he said: "If you live and learn, the governor will be impressed by the three days apart."

That's why Lu Su asked this question today, implying, "You have been studying for so many years, how come you still don't understand the Jiupin Zhongzheng System?"

Lu Meng shook his head and said: "I only understand half of what I heard, and I haven't figured out the mystery yet, so I hope Zijing can enlighten me!"

Sun Quan was happy to see the harmony between the civil and military groups under his command, but he didn't like to see them confronting each other. Seeing this, he looked at Lu Su and said, "Zi Jing, just tell me what is the secret of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. I want to hear it too."

Lu Su nodded, went out and cupped his hands and said: "Needless to say the recruitment order, the power of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system is that it allows officials at every level of the prefecture, county and county to screen talents from all over the world and register them in the book, no matter where the celebrity lives. He will give a professional evaluation of whoever he is. According to his own rating, he can directly enter the Wei State to be an official, ranging from ninth-rank officials to first-rank officials."

Seeing that Lu Meng was still puzzled, Lu Su paused for a moment, and then said: "For example, you, Lu Ziming, live in Jingnan, and you are not from the Wei State, but you were rated as a third-grade scholar by the Wei State. You can judge based on this. Go straight to the state of Wei and become a third-rank official."

"According to the current official system of the Wei State, the third-rank official position corresponds to the governor of the state and the governor of one party. Can you, Lu Ziming, be tempted by such an important position?"

"Even if you are not tempted, what about the others?"

Everyone in the hall was silent for a while.

Especially Sun Quan shivered inexplicably, and his back felt cold.

That's right, Lu Meng himself is the governor under his command, so maybe he won't be tempted by it, what about the others?It's hard to guarantee that they won't be tempted either.

This system is simply an unbreakable conspiracy!

Lu Su continued: "Zi Ming, Wei Guo is so disregarding the position and selecting talents regardless of the region, why worry about the country's prosperity? And the prosperity of Wei Guo is very unfavorable to us. This is the power of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan sighed, and said: "This system has so perfectly solved the problem of the connection between the lower-level nomination and the upper-level expropriation. It is really a good system. Wei Guo has such a great talent as Chen Qun. Alas, God does not help." My grandson's family!"

Lu Su continued: "I have pondered over and over again that this Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System was first created by the State of Wei, but it is also in line with the current situation in Jing, Jiao, and Guangxi. I am willing to ask my lord to promulgate and implement this system in the territory to counteract the State of Wei. "

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "No, Wei is a big country, and Gai has already taken the lead. If I follow suit, it will be a mere imitation. First, I might make people laugh, and second, the effect will not be as good as Wei."


Sun Quan shook his head and said: "Zi Bu's words are right. He has talents in Wei, so don't we have talents in Jingzhou? I beg you to think more about it after you go back, and come up with a good system that is not inferior to the nine-rank Zhongzheng system."

"Yes, I'll take the order!" All the civil and military officials responded with their hands raised.
