Chapter 300: Strategist Comes to Defect

"Your Majesty, these are the talents who have come to defect to our Han Empire these days. The person beside me is the nephew of Master Xun Yu of the Yingchuan Xun family, Xun You, Xun Gongda. This person is a great talent. After Your Majesty ordered me to issue the Recruitment Proclamation, he was the first to come to defect."

In the main hall, after everyone sat down according to their positions, Lu Zhi looked at a middle-aged scholar with an elegant temperament sitting below him and introduced him to Liu Bian.

"Master Lu has worked hard these days and has recruited quite a few talents for our Han Empire again. I will record a merit for you first. After the court session, I will reward you together."

Hearing that this person was Xun You, Liu Bian was also overjoyed. He was just thinking about when he would meet Xun Yu to tell him, but he never expected that Xun You would come himself.

"Sharing worries for Your Majesty is this old minister's duty. This old minister does not dare to claim merit..." Lu Zhi hurriedly stood up and said respectfully to Liu Bian.

Signaling for Lu Zhi not to be formal, after sitting down, Liu Bian used the Probe Eye on Xun You.

Name: Xun You

Age: 29

Realm: Unranked

Identity: Commoner

Talent: Heaven Grade Upper Quality

Constitution: Asking Heaven Immortal Body (Unawakened)

Technique: None

Loyalty: 75

"Your Majesty, this is Gongda's good friend, Xi Zhong, Xi Zhicai...

This is Zhicai's classmate and good friend. He and Zhicai are both disciples of Master Sima Hui of the Yingchuan Academy...

This is Tian Feng, Tian Yuanhao...

This is..."

As Lu Zhi introduced them one by one, Liu Bian used the Probe Eye to check everyone's attributes.

Name: Guo Jia

Age: 18

Realm: Unranked

Identity: Commoner

Talent: Heaven Grade Supreme Quality

Constitution: Plotting Heaven Sacred Body (Unawakened)

Technique: None

Loyalty: 70

He discovered that among the people here, except for Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Tian Feng, Chen Gong, and Xu You—these six people whom he knew—the others were all people who were not famous.

However, through Liu Bian's chat with everyone, he discovered that they all possessed true talent and learning. Being a commandery governor was not a problem at all.

Presumably, they were people who did not appear for long before they died; otherwise, how could there be no deeds passed down?

Among the crowd, Guo Jia's constitution was the strongest, reaching the Sacred Body level: Plotting Heaven Sacred Body.

Xi Zhicai possessed an Immortal Grade constitution: Adjudication Immortal Body. Chen Gong and Tian Feng possessed Emperor Grade constitutions. Xu You possessed a King Grade constitution. The other six did not have special constitutions.

From this, one could see the importance of historical celebrities; the worst were King Bodies.

However, everyone's loyalty was not very high, all reaching above seventy. As long as Liu Bian was not muddled, there was no danger of rebellion.

Liu Bian did not care much about this. Firstly, everyone had just come to defect, so loyalty could not be very high. Secondly, as everyone started to cultivate, loyalty would slowly reach the maximum.

Soon, everyone chatted enthusiastically. After Guo Jia and the others obscurely asked Liu Bian a few questions, Liu Bian replied perfectly.

They instantly felt that Liu Bian was the wise monarch they could serve and assist, and they expressed their loyalty to Liu Bian one after another.

"I am very happy with your loyalty. You are all pillars of talent for our Han Empire. Following me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. I hope you will all serve me, the Han, and the people of the world well in the future. Here with me, I do not fear how high your talent is; I only fear that you have no talent." Liu Bian began to paint a big picture for the few.

"My vision is not just the entire Han Empire...

This world is very big; do not just be limited to within the Han Empire." These historical scholars were not easy to fool and were all very shrewd!

If it weren't for Liu Bian having the memories of his past life, plus having the system as a backer, he might not necessarily be able to suppress these people.

"Master Lu, look at these people and see where there are still vacant positions. Arrange them temporarily. Currently, there are still some vacancies for local officials in the entire Sili region. You must help everyone arrange them well." Liu Bian scanned the crowd with a solemn face and said to Lu Zhi solemnly.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. This minister has already arranged corresponding positions according to each person's specialties." Lu Zhi hurriedly said to Liu Bian.

"Good. Minister, you handle things, and I am at ease. As for Guo Jia, Xi Zhong, Chen Gong, Tian Feng, and Xun You, I will arrange their official positions personally!" Hearing this, the crowd on the side all cast envious gazes at the five.

Being able to obtain Liu Bian's favor, they would definitely be core figures of the Han Empire in the future.

"Gongda will succeed to the position of Jingzhao Yin. Yuanhao will succeed to Henan Yin. Chen Gong will succeed to Xiliang Army Strategist, assisting Lü Bu. Xi Zhicai will succeed to Bingzhou Army Strategist, assisting Zhang Liao. Guo Jia, you will follow me first, can participate in court politics, and receive a Fourth Rank salary. I will have you hold important positions in the future."

Liu Bian quickly arranged the appointments for everyone and immediately conferred positions on the crowd.

"We ministers thank Your Majesty and are determined to die for Your Majesty!" The crowd immediately knelt to the ground and thanked Liu Bian excitedly.

"Now, you are all officials of our Han Empire. Then the secrets of our Han Empire can also be disclosed to you. I will now transmit the Martial Dao cultivation technique of our Han Empire to you. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask Master Lu."

Since everyone's loyalty was sufficient, Liu Bian planned to transmit the cultivation technique to everyone, so as not to let the few fall too far behind the crowd.

"System, transmit the 'Vast Righteous Qi Art' to them." After finishing speaking to the crowd, he ignored the confusion of Guo Jia and the others and issued an instruction to the system.

Just as the few were confused, a massive amount of information surged into their minds. Just as the few were about to faint from the impact of this massive information, Liu Bian's deep voice suddenly sounded in their minds.

"Steady your minds and go all out to receive the memories."

Lu Zhi on the side watched the embarrassed appearance of the crowd and could not help but shake his head and smile.

Thinking back to when he and the others felt they were about to be exploded by that powerful information, it was so similar to the appearance of the few now.

Soon, everyone finished receiving the information in their minds.

The few immediately bowed to the ground to Liu Bian and said excitedly: "We ministers thank Your Majesty for transmitting the techniques!!!"

"All rise. These are not secrets. All officials of our Han Empire have cultivated the Martial Dao technique. You have cultivated later than them; you must cultivate well in the future and must not fall too far behind."

Looking at the few people who stood up and looked at him with burning gazes, Liu Bian exhorted with a solemn face.

"We ministers obey the decree and will definitely cultivate well in the future to share worries for Your Majesty."

Looking at the solemn promises of the few, Liu Bian nodded immediately.

"By the way, Master Lu, you arrange a mansion for them later, closer to my Imperial Palace." Finally, Liu Bian remembered that among Guo Jia and the others, some were commoners and did not have a place to live in Luoyang city, so he arranged it for Lu Zhi.

"This old minister obeys the decree!"

"We ministers thank Your Majesty!"

"Everyone's matters have been arranged. Next, follow me to see the military generals and see how many military generals Master Lu has recruited for our Han Empire." ===== CHAPTER 301 =====
