Kong Rong was annoyed that Shi Xin beat Yang Xiu away, and he looked like he ignored it with a cold face. His identity has a lofty status in the Han Dynasty, the Holy Religion, and the literary world, and Shi Xin does not dare to offend too much.

Finally, after these people finished appreciating the Mobao, the five of them sat separately. Shi Xin got straight to the point and said: "Mr. Wenju, everyone is a disciple of the Holy Sect, and they are all their own people, so I won't beat around the bush." Yang Dezu shouted at me in the hall just now, as the great protector of the First Sect, my personal gains and losses have long been thrown out of the clouds, and I have always put the overall situation first, in order to maintain the majesty of the Holy Sect, I finally sent someone to defeat it. But I also did something wrong, Yang Dezu is a disciple of Mr. Wenju, and it is a sin to inadvertently offend Mr. Wenju. Shi Xin kowtows to Mr. Wenju here to admit his mistake!" After that, he slowly stood up, pulled up his robe with great movements, and was about to kneel.

Shi Xin spoke skillfully, which meant that teaching Yang Xiu was a last resort, and offending you Kong Rong was also for the sake of the Holy Sect, if you were going to be angry like this, it would be because you didn't care about the overall situation.

Kong Rong is a generation of Confucianism, reputation and character are more important than anything else, if he is worshiped by Shi Xin, won't he become a selfish and stingy person who has no overall view of the overall situation? He blushed and hurriedly grabbed it, grabbed Shi Xin's hand, and sighed, "The Great Protector doesn't have to be like this. Yang Dezu has been competitive since he was a child, and I have already reminded him, but unfortunately he still insists on going his own way, and he is also to blame for this result. It's just that...... Alas, Kong Rong and he have been like father and son since childhood, and now he is alone, he is not familiar with the life here, and he is worried!"

When Kong Rong came, he had already discussed with Yang Xiu, trying his best to fight for Yang Xiu for a high position in the Holy Sect, even if he couldn't get the sect leader, at least he would be a Dharma protector or something. Because three days later was the day when Shi Xin was promoted to the head of the Holy Sect, after he sat in the position, the position of the sect leader would naturally be difficult to shake, and even the vacant position of the Great Dharma Protector or the left and right Dharma Protector would be filled by others, and it would be difficult for Yang Xiu to have a chance to get involved.

But this is an internal matter of the Holy Sect after all, Kong Rong plans to gather all the high-level members of the Holy Sect to discuss it together, and it is a big deal to let Shi Xin and Yang Xiuwen compete in martial arts and decide whether they win or lose. Who knew that Yang Xiu would lose control of his emotions as soon as he saw Cai Yan outside the temple gate, so that he was defeated again and again in front of outsiders, leading to an irreparable situation.

But then again, if Shi Xin and Yang Xiu were allowed to compete in literature, Shi Xin really had no chance of winning. From this point of view, Yang Xiu's impulsive behavior helped Shi Xin.

Kong Rong understands Yang Xiu too well, he is arrogant, arrogant, and embarrassed in front of so many people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to accept a position in the headquarters of the Chang'an Holy Sect. Since this is the case, Kong Rong will pave the way for him, and his plans before coming to the Holy Sect will be changed.

At this time, Kong Rong never mentioned the merger of the Beihai sect, and only picked up some gossip. Zhuge Liang looked at Cai Yong and pouted at Kong Rong. Cai Yong understood and coughed, "Wenju, I brought you here this time to strengthen our momentum through the Beihai Division." You are the governor of Qingzhou, and you are in charge of the sect, and you have developed well in Beihai, so we need to show our strength to the other princes, right?"

Since Cai Yong mentioned it, Kong Rong was embarrassed to hide it anymore, he sighed, "Brother Bo, I will also open the skylight and say something." In the letters we exchanged, I did mention the merger of the Beihai Sect, but on the way I discussed it with Dezu, and there were actually many difficulties in it.

Although Cai Yong is semi-retired, he still has basic political sense. When Kong Rong said this, it was obvious that he wanted to reverse his previous decision and no longer merge the Beihai Sect. Cai Yong frowned and said, "Please explain the difficulties in the middle of the matter!" The tone was already dissatisfied.

"First, Chang'an is in the whirlpool, the Donglu Alliance controls the government, although it is very likely to disintegrate them this time, but what about the rest of their party? That's 200,000 troops, and our Northern Navy only has 30,000, how can we shake them? What if something happens here...... I'm sorry, but I mean, but that's the case, isn't it...... The whole army on this side of Chang'an has been wiped out, and there is a branch of Beihai, when you go to Beihai, you will also have a place to live; second, when it comes to our Qingzhou, the land of the four wars, it is adjacent to Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao, the three princes, which can be regarded as a strong enemy. The military strength of each of them is more than 100,000, if it weren't for each other's containment and fear, they would have launched an invasion of Beihai a long time ago, and my 30,000 troops are also for self-protection!"

Shi Xin thought about it in his heart, and felt that Kong Rong's words also made some sense. He worked hard in Beihai, and it was difficult for him to see his foundation ruined. In other words, Kong Rong's merger of the sects was originally a thing that could be done or not, if Yang Xiu became the high-level of the Chang'an Holy Sect, he would have something to rely on, and he would definitely fight hard and make a desperate bet. But now that Yang Xiu doesn't know where to go, and his relationship with Shi Xin is in trouble, he naturally wants to leave a way back for himself.

Shi Xin knew that Yang Xiu had become a spy who had infiltrated Cao Cao's interior, but he couldn't tell Kong Rong. Kong Rong cared for Yang Xiu very much, and he was definitely unwilling for Yang Xiu to do such a dangerous thing, which would likely affect the implementation of the plan at that time.

Zhuge Liang was about to persuade Kong Rong again, but Shi Xin stopped him and said to Kong Rong: "Mr. Wenju, since you have decided, we are not strong. You first stay in the Holy Sect, while looking for Yang Dezu's whereabouts, while inspecting our Holy Sect headquarters, or put forward some valuable suggestions for us to improve. If you think we can build and want to change your mind and join us, then we are welcome. If you think we still can't make it, then we can leave on our own in three days. ”

Kong Rong reversed, and he himself felt that he couldn't go. In order to make up for the Chang'an Holy Sect, he promised to return to Beihai immediately after three days to prepare 50,000 gold for construction.

Fifty thousand gold is not too much, but it is a lot less, Shi Xin understands his psychology, and accepts all the orders with peace of mind, and of course he also said a lot of good things after that.

Cai Yong led Kong Rong to the guest room to rest, and Cai Yan couldn't help but ask Shi Xin: "Senior brother, why was he moved so easily? It's not like your style! According to your character, you must turn at least 10,000 soldiers from 30,000." ”

Shi Xin smiled and didn't answer, but looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, what do you think of my decision?"

"The Great Protector is clever and far-sighted, and he is ashamed of himself, so he won't lie about it, right?" Zhuge Liang smiled as if he was pointed.

Shi Xin laughed, "Kong Ming understands me!"

Cai Yan heard what the two said profoundly, but it was as if they hadn't said anything, and his heart was even more confused. She frowned and asked, "What the hell do you mean?" ”

Shi Xin finally explained, "Kong Rong's words just now reminded me. Dong Lu has an army of 200,000 people, and even if they are both defeated, it is likely that there are still many remnants of the same party. If we are lucky, the two sides will fight out half of the army, and what about 100,000? We will only have 40,000 troops with the Northern Navy, and even if we can win more with less and uproot the remnants of the party, we will also be greatly damaged. When the princes drive all the way into Chang'an, we will be easily served by others. ”

Zhuge Liang took over with a smile: "Therefore, the Great Protector gave up his original intention and let the Northern Navy stand still, once the situation in Chang'an is unstable, there is still a way back." That's why I say that the Great Dharma Protector is far-sighted. ”

The real history of the previous life is: Dong Zhuo died after the beauty plan, and Lu Bu was no match for Li Dao Guo Yan's Xiliang army, and was driven out of Chang'an, so the government was controlled by them again.

Lu Bu in this world is certainly very strong, but Dong Zhuo is also unfathomable, the two are fighting for Diao Chan, and it is really difficult to guess who wins and who loses. But it can be expected that the Xiliang army is still stronger than the Bingzhou army, even if Lu Bu kills Dong Zhuo, he will definitely not be able to retreat with his whole body, don't forget that there are many princes involved in this matter, which is not available in the previous life.

In addition, there is also an unstable factor, that is, the early birth of Sima Yi's team makes the whole thing even more confusing, and no one can predict what role they will play.

Zhuge Liang certainly admired Shi Xin's adaptability, and Shi Xin even admired that he could guess his thoughts only through his own words, you must know that Zhuge Liang analyzed it by himself, but he did not predict history.

For the next three days, Shi Xin had a lot of things to do. He had to be familiar with all the steps of the beauty scheme, and receive the princes who came from afar. It is worth mentioning that all the princes involved in the plan had already arrived on the second day, including Cao Cao, who arrived on the first day, and Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and Liu Biao, who arrived on the second day. With the participation of these four companies, everyone's confidence has increased greatly, and they are looking forward to the arrival of the day as soon as possible.

Liu Bei brought Guan Zhang, and Sun Jian brought Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Tai Shici. And Liu Biao brought Huang Zhong and Wei Yan.

Shi Xin and Liu Biao had never met, and when they remembered the bravery of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, they salivated, deliberately approached, and tried their best to stammer.

Huang Zhong is not young, about forty years old, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his eyes are bright and introverted, and he knows that he is cultivating at a glance. Shi Xin wanted to use Tianyantong to check his attributes, but found that he had reached the seventh level, and Tianyantong couldn't check it. Shi Xin was not too surprised, he was a fierce general of the Five Tiger Generals in his previous life, which was completely expected. It's just that Huang Zhong is in the prime of life, but he was born early, his beard and hair are half a hundred, and he always looks taciturn, looking full of thoughts. He was cold and indifferent to Shi Xin's efforts to please, and he was not enthusiastic.

However, Wei Yan, who is a colleague, is very up-to-the-point, and praised Shi Xin, and words such as "young hero" and "pillar of the future" came as soon as he opened his mouth, full of enthusiasm. Not only that, Wei Yan also has a great impression of Liu Bei, and often soaks in Liu Bei's "meeting late", as for what topics to talk about, it is unknown.

What surprised Shi Xin was that Wei Yan had also reached the seventh rank, and even Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Tai Shi Ci had also reached the cultivation above the sixth rank, which had to make Shi Xin sigh greatly.
