The next day, the conference continued. This time, it is no longer Zheng Xuan's proposition, but the proposition of the great Confucian Cai Yong. Although there were no casualties, you were fighting each other, the dark tide was surging, and it was extremely lively. In the battle, there were sometimes casualties, and every high platform of the martial arts competition was stained with blood.

At the end of the second day, out of the 7,000 Confucian students, only 3,500 remained. Of the eight thousand samurai, only four thousand remained.

In just two days, the vast majority of the contestants were eliminated.

However, the smaller the number of people, the fiercer the fight.

The further the debate in the discussion hall went, the more intense and targeted it became, and one by one they fought red-faced. Especially when the team is evenly matched, it is even more difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

On the third day, there were more than 1,700 Confucian scholars and more than 2,000 samurai.

However, on the fourth day, the situation changed again.

There were more than 800 Confucian scholars left, and only 600 samurai left to compete. The reason for this was that many of the victorious samurai who participated in the battle were wounded and could not afford to fight again, so they had to withdraw.

After continuous debates and competitions, only more than 100 Confucian students remained.

There are only more than 50 people left in martial arts.

At this level, the Discussion of Taoism and Martial Arts stopped fighting with each other.

All the people no longer distinguish between the east and west venues, and they all gathered in the west market, standing in a neat line in the venue.

In the very center of the venue, there is a high platform.

On the high platform, a young man stood. This person is none other than Wang Lei.

Wang Lei's eyes fell on the Confucian scholars and warriors in the venue, raised his voice, and said loudly: "First of all, I want to congratulate you, congratulations on your wisdom and perseverance, you have successfully come to the present and become the person who is in the limelight. Along the way, I firmly believe that you have gained a lot, both in insight and knowledge. ”

"Not to mention anything else, just this point, the holding of the conference on Taoism and martial arts is worth it."

"Only by forging each other and promoting each other can we be more sophisticated."

Wang Lei's voice was subdued, and he continued: "This conference on Taoism and martial arts covers talents from all states in the world, which can be described as a gathering of elites and talents. Being able to enter the top 100 of the Discussion Conference and the top 50 of the Discussion of Martial Arts proves that you are all amazing talents. You have proved your talent with your own practical actions. ”

In the crowd, both Confucian scholars and martial artists, they were all excited.

Ma Chao stood solemnly, his eyes were sharp, he saw Wang Lei, who was young but already majestic, thinking that he was still unknown in Xiliang, and secretly clenched his fists.

On the martial arts conference, he must go down.

Wang Lei said: "On Taoism and martial arts, countless talents have emerged. Self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world, all of you are full of talent and unique skills, and you all need a platform where you can display your talents. Jizhou is initially decided, and countless people with lofty ideals are needed to join in to help me govern Jizhou, and contribute to the stability of the world and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. ”

"If you are willing to go out, you can register with the person in charge of this matter. He will register your name and assign you specific positions based on the evaluation. If you don't want to go out, I will send you a coil so that you can return to your homeland. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the venue.

Many Confucian students had excited looks on their faces.

Isn't the purpose of participating in this conference to be reused?

As for the martial artists who are standing, it is the same.

A very small number of Confucian warriors who came to Ye County to participate in the discussion of Taoism and martial arts did not seek to become officials, and most of them sought fame and fortune. Wang Lei, as one of the most powerful princes in the world, threw down an olive branch, and countless people were moved.

Sima Yi pursed his lips and said, "The teacher doesn't allow me to go out, it's a pity!" ”

Zhuge Liang stared at Wang Lei on the stage, thinking for a long time, his expression tended to be calm, and he had no intention of becoming a leader.

Pang Tong, like Lu Xun, also shook his head.

For them, the emphasis is on emerging and broadening their horizons, and then they have to learn hard.

Wang Lei changed his words and said: "I talked more gossip and got back to business." To this day, the conduct of the conference on Taoism and martial arts has exerted tremendous pressure on all of you present. Take a three-day break starting today. Three days later, the final discussion and martial arts were conducted. ”

"Disband!"

Wang Lei made a move and got off the high platform.

The Confucian warriors in the venue quickly dispersed, and most of them went to find Xinbi.

The opportunity to get ahead is in front of you, and no one can turn it down.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xin Bi came to Wang Lei's study, and after he sat down, he handed over the registration list and reported: "My lord, from the morning to the present, everyone who came to register has made a record. There are 58 Confucian scholars who are willing to go out; There were 36 samurai who were willing to enlist in the army. For the rest, it is not yet possible to determine where they stand. ”

Wang Lei nodded and said, "Whether it is a Confucian scholar or a samurai, they are already halfway through, and the effect is not bad, and the purpose of recruiting talents has been achieved." However, this is not enough, the next three days are your time to act, and it is important to win over more people. I hope that there will be better results and that Jizhou can get more talent. ”

Xin Bi nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, the lord understands!" ”

Immediately, Simbi took his leave and left.

Wang Lei held the list in his hand and carefully observed the names on the list. After reading it once, none of the names are familiar. It's also a normal thing, though. The history that Wang Lei knows is the history that has been recorded, but it is just a drop in the ocean, and there are countless people in history who have not been recorded.

"Come on, please Jia Xu!" Wang Lei commanded.

The soldier went to give the order, and after a short time, Jia Xu came to the study.

Jia Xu said: "What does the lord command? ”

"Here's for you." Wang Lei handed the list in his hand to Jia Xu and said: "This list is for people who have shown their talents in the Dao and Wu Conference and are willing to join Jizhou. There are so many people, their identities are uncertain, and there may be spies of the rest of the princes, after you take the list, carefully investigate and sort out the origins of everyone. All the rest of the princes must be strictly controlled. ”

"The minister understands!" Jia Xu nodded respectfully.

Wang Lei changed his words and asked again: "Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan, is there any movement?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Xiahou Yuan frequently visits celebrities who come to Jizhou, wanting to attract our attention and give Cheng Yu a chance to act. As everyone knows, Cheng Yu is also under my surveillance. Cheng Yu came into contact with some talents, but he didn't make much moves. Therefore, no action was taken against Cheng Yu for the time being. Speaking of this, Jia Xu asked: "Lord, the assassin can act, do you assassinate Cheng Yu?" ”

Wang Lei sneered and asked rhetorically: "Sir, do you think you should assassinate Cheng Yu?" ”

Jia Xu's expression was not wavering, and he said: "But according to the orders of the lord!" ”

Wang Lei changed his posture and sat casually, and said disdainfully: "Is Mr. deliberately testing me?" There is a small friction between me and Cao Cao, which is normal and does not affect the overall situation. Once Cheng Yu is assassinated, it means turning against Cao Cao. My center of gravity is in the north, how can I abandon Cao Cao as an ally? You can teach Cheng Yu a lesson, but this degree must be grasped well, I believe in Mr. Wenhe's ability. ”

Jia Xu said: "The lord is wise, and the old minister is afraid!" ”

Wang Lei flicked his sleeves and said, "It's not easy to make you panic!" Let's go down. Book the unknown people in Ye County, don't go wrong in the last few days. ”

"Yes!"

Jia Xu nodded and exited the study.
