Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 165 Kong Ni's Confidence

  When Yuan Shu summoned Yang Hong and Yan Xiang to discuss, Xun Yu from Yingchuan was a little worried at home. Not for the affairs of my own family, but for the current situation in Yingchuan.

  As a child of Yingchuan who was born and raised in Si, Xun Yu has always felt that he is responsible for this area. After all, the Xun family is a prominent family in Yingchuan, so it is natural to think more far-reaching.

Xun Yu felt very pessimistic about the current situation. Although the Yingchuan gentry elected Kong Ni as the representative of Yingchuan to raise troops to challenge Dong, it has been a long time. It seems that Kong Ni not only issued an announcement, but also recruited some Soldiers, there is no other action...

  This is literally…

  Xun Yu thought about it, and felt that he still needed to pay a visit to Kong Ni tomorrow, to find out what Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, was thinking and what he was going to do.

   Speaking of this hole, it is also very interesting. It turned out that Kong Ni had been granted the title of Inspector of Yuzhou since last year, but he did not hold the position for long. Because of Yuan Shu's appointment, he wanted to take away the position of Inspector of Yuzhou from Kong Ni's hands to Sun Jian, and then the court was also baffled It was passed, and then an imperial edict was issued to ask Kong Ni to return the seal.

In desperation, Kong Niyuan had no choice but to obey. He expected that he would miss his official career, but he did not expect that the Kwantung gentry would launch a war against Dong. Kong Ni did not hand in the seal in time, but stayed in Yingchuan to wait and see. The gentry of Yingchuan elected them to serve as the representatives of Yingchuan, corresponding to various places, and raised troops to challenge Dong together.

  But to lead the army of discussing Dong, there must be a position, so Kong Ni still calls himself the governor of Yuzhou, anyway, the seal is still in his hand, which is more or less justified.

  Early the next morning, Xun Yu went to Kong Ni's residence, cast a famous assassin and waited to be summoned. Kong Ni did not live in the barracks outside the city, but took his servants to set up a small courtyard in Yingchuan County for living.

   Not long after, someone came and led Xun Yu into the door, but Xun Yu didn't see Kong Yu when he arrived in the hall. The servant leaned forward and explained that the governor of Kong Ni must read the scriptures for an hour every morning, rain or shine, and never stop. He asked Xun Yu to sit in the hall for a while, and it was estimated that the time would be almost...

   No wonder after entering the hall, you can faintly hear the sound of Oh Yin reading...

   Well, we can only wait.

   Xun Yu was sitting on the mat in the hall, and the sound of Kong Ni reading came from the study behind the hall, as if he was still expressing emotion while reading—

   "... The Master said: "The government of civil and military affairs is laid out in the right direction. If a person survives, his government will act; if a person dies, his government will cease... How subtle is this statement! Sri Lanka's government depends on man's actions. If you want to govern, you must first seek its people..."

"...Therefore, a gentleman must not cultivate himself; if he thinks about self-cultivation, he must not ignore his relatives; if he thinks about his relatives, he must not be ignorant of others, and if he is thinking of knowing others, he must not be ignorant of heaven... Goodness is good! How many people are there in the world? Yong, the Dade of the three worlds..."

  Xun Yu couldn't help but feel a little cold when he heard this.

   What time is this, Kong Ni and Kong Gongxu are still thinking about reading this book?

It’s not that the books that Kong Ni read just now are not good, nor is it that the content in the books is unreasonable, but that these principles are too correct, correct to a certain degree, that is, the kind that is universally applicable. degree.

only…

well! Xun Yu sighed in his heart, he really didn't know what Kong Ni was thinking in his heart now, did he think that the current battle against Dong was a certain victory?

   This is literally...

   Fortunately, Xun Yu didn't have to wait for long, Kong Ni turned out from the study, greeted Xun Yu with a smile, and said, "It's rude to keep Wen Ruohou for a long time!"

  Xun Yu smiled and said, "Kong Yuzhou manages a lot of things every day, but he still keeps reading intensively. It's really amazing!"

  Kong Ni brushed the beard on his chin, shook his head and said, "The way of learning is like sailing against the current. Since I was a child, I have been reading every day, with constant wind and rain. It has been nearly thirty years..."

  —Kong Ni obviously failed to understand what Xun Yu said, and said it proudly.

"..." Xun Yu twitched his eyebrows, still smiling, and said, "This time, Kong Yuzhou commanded elite soldiers to save the people of Yingchuan from fire and water, and contributed to the country. "Study is close to knowledge, hard work is close to benevolence" is really a model for us!"

  —Is that clear enough?

  But I didn't expect Kong Ni to accept it happily, and said: "This is my job, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning, haha..."

   "..." Xun Yu lowered his head slightly, twitched the corner of his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a while—could it be that I really didn't speak bluntly enough?

   Really...

  Xun Yu finally felt that the language level needed to be lowered, so he asked directly: "I don't know what the odds are for Kong Yuzhou to win this crusade against Dong Ni?"

ah? We had a good talk, why did you suddenly change the subject and ask about this matter?

Kong Yu couldn't help being taken aback, stopped brushing his beard, frowned, thought for a while, and finally realized that Xun Yu seemed to be saying that he didn't do military affairs, so he was a little worried The situation of the crusade against Dong Zhuo...

  However, Kong Ni felt that this kind of worry was unnecessary. Dong Zhuo’s tyranny was unpopular, so what more consideration should be given to this outcome? Still need but what heart? It's a bit mediocre.

  Therefore, Kong Ni said firmly: "This battle must be won! Wen Ruo need not worry!"

   Xun Yu was a little speechless. Where did Kong Gongxu's strong confidence come from? He just went to the military camp outside the city yesterday to see it. It was chaotic, no one presided over the drill, not to mention, even the equipment was not fully equipped...

   Must win?

  How to win?

  Xun Yu hesitated for a while, but finally decided to try again, and said: "Kong Yuzhou, please forgive me for taking the liberty, in the army outside the city, there are mostly new recruits, and they have not yet fought, so I am really worried."

   Kong Ni laughed and said: "If the text is poor, the strength of soldiers does not lie in the battle formation, but in the hearts of the people!"

   "People's hearts?" Xun Yu arched his hands and said, "I beg Kong Yuzhou to enlighten me!"

Kong Ni shook his head and said, "The Dong thief ruined the country and poisoned the people. This is the common anger of the world. He lost the hearts of you. Mencius once said, 'Jie and Zhou lost the world and their people; those who lost their people lost their hearts. Also. If you gain the Dao in the world, if you gain the people, you will win the world. If you win the people and the way, you will gain the hearts of the people, and you will win the people.” ?And there is a saying in military equipment, "One man is desperate, a hundred men are unstoppable, ten thousand people will die, and they will run rampant all over the world!" , Can Aneng Mantis be used as a car?"

  Xun Yu was speechless after hearing Kong Ni's impassioned words. It turns out that Kong Ni thinks so, he is really good and powerful...

   Confidence...Hehe, have any brothers and sisters met with their bosses to give specific feedback to them, and then the boss used confidence to talk about things...Hehehe...Chinese culture has been passed down in one continuous line...I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival! Sit with your family and chat more... Another year has passed...By the way, the years are not forgiving, and I feel much older... 2017.2.9 Thanks to Magic Leaf Gucheng, Tang Chao Lizi, 勷￠Kuang, Xu Yishiqingyuan, d Xianyun Yehe f, even changed the nickname, Bingyang Tianxia, ​​Pingya Stone Carvings, Crying Poor 582, Book Friends 201.702.092..., Wu Xingchen's support and encouragement!
