Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 314 Almighty Talent - Zeng Guofan

After Han Wu nodded, he glanced at Guo Jia and Xun You again, and continued, "Feng Xiao, Gong Da, today I want to introduce you to a talented person."

"I won't chat with you, this person's political talent is better than Feng Xiao's. Perhaps, he is a little better than Gongda."

"Bohan, come in!"

As soon as Han Wu finished speaking, it was like waving at the door, letting the middle-aged man outside come in.

Originally, Guo Jia and Xun You saw this person when they entered the hall, and they all subconsciously regarded him as a servant.

Han Wu introduced directly: "Bo Han, come here to pay respects to the two seniors. This is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, and that is Xun You and Xun Gongda."

Zeng Guofan, courtesy name Bohan.

He looks mediocre, of average height, and his temperament is not outstanding. He is a typical type that is difficult to recognize in the crowd.

For the merit points this time, Han Wu spent 4000 points to summon Zeng Guofan, and 2000 points to summon Zheng He!

After taking Yangzhou, Han Wu's meritorious service reached from 5165 to 6165.

After summoning twice, Han Wu now only has 165 merit points left.

Among the many civil servants and fierce generals, Han Wuxian chose to summon Zeng Guofan, a political genius!

Zeng Guofan, strength 70, intelligence 90, politics 99, charisma 90, military command 95, loyalty 100.

Every single one is excellent, but none of them are top notch.

However, all the data are so excellent, it touches an all-round talent.

The biggest trouble in the Han Dynasty was that the aristocratic family controlled the court. This time, the Han military general Zeng Guofan was summoned as a grassroots man, so that he could help him solve the family's troubles.

Zeng Guofan bowed to Guo Jia and Xun You very humbly.

Zeng Guofan in history was not an intelligent genius, he was also a talent acquired through hard work.

Therefore, Zeng Guofan didn't have that kind of arrogance, and he looked more kind.

"Grassman Zeng Guofan, pay homage to Mr. Guo Junshi and Mr. Xun."

Bowing at ninety degrees, Zeng Guofan's politeness forced Guo Jia and Xun You to quickly return and bow.

Although Zeng Guofan does not have an official position, he is the one personally received by the lord!
To disrespect Zeng Guofan is to disrespect the lord, Guo Jia and Xun You know it well.

Guo Jia, as the lord's confidant, couldn't help but ask directly: "Mr. Zeng, since the lord likes you very much, then I won't argue with you."

"My lord wants you to participate in government affairs, what is Mr. Zeng's opinion?"

Zeng Guofan looked around and then at the lord, seeking his permission before he could continue speaking.

Han Wu smiled slightly, and said, "Let's talk! This place is all our own people, what are you worried about? Feng Xiao also said don't talk about words, just speak straight, the more earthy the better, try to be as clear as possible."

Picking up the teacup, Han Wu took a sip of tea and told Zeng Guofan to speak up.

After Zeng Guofan heard the master's consent, he opened his mouth and said, "Gentlemen, the grassroots believe that the rule of law should be the most important thing in the world."

"Rule the world with the law, just like the Qin Dynasty, in order to rule the troubled times!"

Xun You is a typical Confucian student. When he heard that Zeng Guofan was going to restore the Qin government, he immediately became anxious.

"Traveling the Qin Dynasty! My lord, this person's words are unacceptable, and it is impossible to rule the world with the law! The Qin Dynasty II died, my lord..."

Before Xun You finished speaking, Han Wu stretched out his hand and asked him to stop Zeng Guofan to continue talking.

Xun You quickly shut up and glared at Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guofan was very calm. After taking a deep breath, he continued: "My lord, the world says Qin Shihuang Yingzheng is a tyrant, but it is not."

"The wars in the last years of the Qin Dynasty came from the restoration of the six kingdoms. The first emperor built the Great Wall and migrated millions of old Qin people to the south to assimilate the foreign races in Lingnan. This weakened the Qin army and was finally defeated by Xiang Yu."

"Nonsense! At that time, the Qin Dynasty had 40 soldiers, so how could it have no soldiers?" Xun You couldn't bear it anymore, and directly refuted.

Zeng Guofan was not angry. He continued: "Mr. Xun, may I ask where Zhang Han's 40 troops come from? Workers who built temples and palaces, and where did these workers come from? Prisoners!"

"The 40 prisoner army was defeated by Xiang Yu's elite, which makes sense. But did the generals of the Qin Dynasty who guarded the south of the Lingnan have the King Qin who went north? Did the generals who guarded the Great Wall against the Rong and Di went south to the King Qin? If they brought a large army to the King Qin, Xiang Yu could break into the Xianyang?"

Xun You still ignored it, but said angrily: "40 prisoners! There are 50 million prisoners in the world, this is tyranny!"

Veins popped up on his forehead, and Xun You was obviously extremely angry.

Zeng Guofan was not in a hurry, and continued to explain: "Mr. Xun's words are right. I agree that the Qin law is a tyranny."

"The first emperor's biggest mistake was to be eager for quick success. He cared too much about merit, so that the crime in the present age and the merit in the future."

After Guo Jia heard this sentence, his heart trembled immediately, and he clapped his hands and applauded: "Good! Such a crime lies in the present age, and the merit lies in the future!"

"Qin's tyranny makes the people of the six countries dissatisfied because they don't adapt to Qin's laws. But it is this kind of law that allows Qin to unify the six countries!"

"What your Excellency is going to say next is that in troubled times, the world should be ruled by law, and the law cannot be shaken."

"Once unified, the place ruled by the enemy should be governed with benevolence and morality, and let them return to their hearts! Only after returning to their hearts can the world be ruled by law. What is the purpose of the city gate pillars? It is to let the people of Qin return to their hearts!"

Zeng Guofan stood with his hands on his arms and said calmly.

"Gongda, this person's knowledge and insight are good, he is indeed superior to you and me. You have to deny that the Han Dynasty followed Qin's law, and when the world returned to its heart, it used Qin's law, and only then did the Han Dynasty prosper today. !"

Xun You narrowed his eyes, thinking carefully.

What Zeng Guofan and Guo Jia said made sense, but Xun You didn't want to just admit it.

After all, he is a student of the Confucian school, and he does not support the Legalist legal system in his bones.

Seeing that Xun You took a step back, Han Wu said: "Gongda, you don't need to be too eager. What Bohan said is just a blueprint."

"At the very least, I'll have to wait three years before I can let him deal with it."

"In three years, I have more important things to deal with! Zheng He, come in!"

With a wave of Han Wu's hand, Zheng He, who was outside Hou, also came in together.

Guo Jia and Xun You also saw this person before, but they originally concluded that this person must be a servant.

Because judging from his appearance and development, this person looks like a eunuch.

Han Wu stood up and introduced: "This person is Zheng He. I am going to let him sail with Qi Jiguang's navy to explore the truth on the other side of the sea."

"For this reason, I also asked Liu Ye to develop the most sophisticated compass, hoping to help them. It has been said in ancient times that the sky is round and the earth has the ends of the earth. I just don't believe it. Because no one has been to the ends of the earth. This is just a so-called sage Just full of nonsense."

"Don't be so suspicious. Zheng He is also my confidant. He used to be a little eunuch next to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty."

"Fleeing to Jizhou, I liked his talent, so I took him in."

After introducing Zheng He's identity, neither Guo Jia nor Xun You took it seriously.

The exploration of the world mentioned by the lord is just a joke to Guo Jia and Xun You.

Xun You is more concerned about Zeng Guofan's rule of law. Now he doesn't trust or like Zeng Guofan!

After Han Wu saw the performance of Guo Jia and Xun You, he smiled slightly, quite satisfied.

The fact that Xun You was angry with Zeng Guofan proved that Zeng Guofan was talented enough to be recognized by Xun You.

If Xun You thinks that Zeng Guofan has no talent, then no matter what he says, he will never care.
