I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 29 Don’t take the usual path

"Since Mr. Ling is here, we take good care of him on weekdays. I think our benefactor will not be alienated from us."

"No, although Ling'er is smart, he is not mature enough. It would be nice not to be led away by that kid. How do you expect Ling'er to influence him? Difficult!"

Hong'er thought for a moment and then said

"Then there's no need to be so anxious. My benefactor has a charming temperament and will only get closer to us if every drop of water gets through."

The old man shook his head and said
“It’s true that a drop of water can reveal a stone, but do you know that time waits for no one?
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and it is the time for the country to employ people. This boy has performed so dazzlingly this time. How can he stay in our pool for a long time?
I'm ready, I'll just wait here and ask the three elders from Shangxiang County to recommend him to the new governor."

Three elders?
Hong'er was shocked when she heard this. You must know that he was the third old man, the most famous old man in the place.

Not to mention the county governor or the governor, I heard that even when the emperor meets the three elders, he should also respectfully invite the three elders to take a seat. Even for some highly prestigious three elders, the three elders will eat first. Only then will His Majesty move his chopsticks to show respect.

For example, this old master has always wanted to be elected as the third elder of the township. This time, he actually wants to ask the three elders of the township to recommend his benefactor.

When she thought of this, she felt sincerely happy. She knew that this benefactor would definitely become a great person.

"So now you know my good intentions."

Compared to Hong'er, who was simply happy, some of the precocious girls from aristocratic families felt a trace of regret in their hearts.

Why are their moods so different?

Why does this old head of the Wang family value Su Yao so much that he even takes the lead in recommending it himself?

This has to mention the unique official selection mechanism of the Han Dynasty, which is the inspection and examination system.

Since the establishment of the imperial examination system by Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, this system has replaced the past aristocratic official system and became an important way for the Han Dynasty to select officials.

This bottom-up system, in which local governors inspect and select talents at any time within their jurisdiction and recommend them to superiors or the central government, and then appoint officials after trial evaluation, achieved revolutionary success as soon as it was launched.

The selection method of the imperial examination system, which does not take family background or title as a consideration, is regarded as a hope for promotion by the poor families nowadays. After its implementation, not only did it quickly show a burst of talent, the admiration of many people, but also the emergence of strangers. Moreover, due to the diverse selection subjects and the guiding spirit of emphasizing moral character, a solid foundation has been laid for the shaping of the Han nationality.

However, the good times did not last long. With the passage of time, since the Later Han Dynasty, the rules of this system have been familiar and controlled by local aristocratic families, and they have gradually monopolized the channels.

Although the Wang family of Qixian County here can be regarded as a famous one in the local area, they still cannot compete with the Wang family of Jinyang in the same county. The most obvious manifestation is that they have never had a turn since Wang Yun. The new quota is something they will never forget for a long time.

What's more, even the hope of the whole family, Wang Yun, a high-ranking official, has been dismissed from office, and the future of the Wang family in Qixian County is even more gloomy.

And now Su Yao's appearance lights up a light for them in the darkness.

This is because in addition to the Xiaolian Department, which is almost monopolized every year, there is also a special department: the Brave Knowledge and Art of War Department.

As the name suggests, this section is specially designed to select generals who are brave in battle or familiar with the art of war and can lead their troops in battle. It is an extraordinary section that will not be available in normal seasons.

But when the world is in chaos, ever since the first year of Zhongping, when the emperor issued an order to the public officials to recommend people with knowledge of the military and civilian affairs of the world, and since those who have a clear understanding of the battle strategy have taken up their posts in the government office, this special department has been opened every year to recruit military and military talents from all over the world to deal with this chaos. current situation.

As for the martial arts, it is the most difficult to fake. Compared with the subjects that make jokes about talents, ignorance of books, filial piety, father's separation, etc., the requirements for the candidates to be promoted in the martial arts are extremely high, and at the same time, it is relatively low. Harder to be buried.

Therefore, when the old village chief saw Su Yao, he immediately thought of this. He could enter the governor's office through the township examination, and then the governor would recommend him to the court. They could quickly move him from the countryside to the local government, and then from the local government to the central government. The ascent of class is a leap to the dragon's gate.

This is exactly the right given to them by the inspection and examination system, and it is the original intention of this system to recruit talents for the country.

But as the saying goes, if you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth.

For recommenders with such power, it is good to benefit the country, but how to benefit oneself is more critical. Therefore, how to ensure that the interests of the recommended person and the recommender are consistent is what they are most concerned about. It is under such a game that the unique benefactor relationship under the Han Dynasty inspection system was born.

But after all, these are just tacit rules of the game between the aristocratic families, not an ironclad institutional law without any compulsion, so the old village leader hopes to find a better way to establish a close bond between the two parties.

Especially since I just heard at the wine table that this kid seems to be a person without father or mother, without any basis or roots. In this case

"Then what's a better way than getting married?" "I roughly understand the matter."

When he got up in the morning, Su Yao was rubbing his head that was slightly aching from a hangover while digesting the plot told by Hong'er.

Chaju, he still knows something about the benefactor.

For example, Lu Bu, the famous father-killing master in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, actually did not worship Ding Yuan as his adoptive father in history. His betrayal of Ding Yuan was not patricide but a serious violation of the rules of the game of benefactor relationship in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which led to He overcame the hostility of the aristocratic families towards him.

As for wanting to recommend him.

The first thing Su Yao thought of was Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang. They seemed to have followed the path of Chaju in history. They were pushed to the center by Ding Yuan and entered the camp of General He Jin.

So, Su Yao felt that he understood the main plot of the game.

If you choose to cooperate with the Wang family here, you will enter the Central Line of the Han Dynasty and come down to Luoyang to witness Dong Zhuo's rebellion in Beijing and the discussion of Dong Zhuo's alliance and other historical events.

It is indeed a route that is very suitable for novice players to experience the story of the Three Kingdoms.

"However, I refuse!" Su Yao waved his hand.

"Eh?!" Hong'er held the ginger soup to relieve her hangover, paused and froze on the spot.

Hong'er thought that she had told her benefactor all the details frankly, but why was she rejected?

This is obviously a very beneficial thing to my benefactor's future. Why?

"Is it because of that Diao Chan?"

Hong'er remembered that her benefactor, who had always been sleeping soundly at night, was suddenly restless at night and talked a lot in his sleep that she didn't understand. However, she remembered the woman's stage name that she called several times while tossing and turning.

What kind of beauty is this woman who can be regarded as the only one by this benefactor and who is also said to have the appearance of Guan Yue? What is the relationship between the two of them?

As soon as she thought of this, Hong'er's heart was twitching.

When Hong'er told Su Yao this question, she got only one reply:
"A woman will only affect the speed at which I can draw my sword!"

"what?"

Although Su Yao didn't know why Diao Chan's name popped up here, it was obvious that all this had nothing to do with women, but related to fundamental route issues.

Yes, Su Yao didn't want to take the smooth novice route at all.

A game with a high degree of freedom always has different options for players to explore.

Based on history, Su Yao decided to take a more special path, that is, to save Bingzhou.

That’s right, rescue!
If the game process really simulates history, then Bingzhou will be ushered in a storm of destruction.

The current wave of Huns he was fighting were just the final raiding party left over from the previous wave of war.

Soon after, the real large force of the Huns will probably attack Zhou County in a big way while Ding Yuan deploys Bingzhou troops and the court is in chaos, cannibalizing and annexing all the counties in the northwest of Bingzhou, and stage a tragedy in which Bingzhou loses seven of its nine counties in a year.

And at the same time as this Huns crisis, or even earlier, this year, there will soon be another tragedy of white waves attacking Taiyuan.

Even the Xiongnu skirmishers could break through this small Wu Fort. What would happen here in front of the Baibo Army, which claimed to have gathered a hundred thousand people?

Su Yao is not sure, but rather than going to Hanoi to find Ding Yuan and then taking the peaceful Central Army route, he is more willing to cut a piece of the sky in Bingzhou, where the war is endless. This is the iron-blooded route suitable for high-end players.
