As the largest dark force in the world, the relationship between Baijia and Qin Hao is very complicated.
Baijia gave Qin Hao a lot of help, but Qin Hao was very respectful of Baijia. He always tried to win over and take advantage of him, but he would never fall in favor of any one.
In order to win over hundreds of schools of thought, Qin Hao also paid a lot of money. Works, medical camps, etc. were built just for the sake of doctors and engineers.
Through a series of tricks, Qin Hao indeed gained the friendship of hundreds of schools, among which he had the best relationship with Confucianism, Legalism, Medicine, and Engineering.
As for the mysterious Strategist, he has been trying his best to help Qin Hao from beginning to end. After all, Qin Hao is the person chosen by the Strategist to join the world.
Therefore, although Qin Hao was extremely afraid of Liu Xiu, he could not push all the hundreds of families to oppose him just because of him. This was obviously very unwise.
Seven Swords also gave up on a mission that was more important than life because they knew that killing Liu Xiu would be equivalent to killing one thousand enemies and damaging oneself eight hundred.
"It's true that God will never die Liu Xiu."
Qin Hao sighed helplessly, then showed a solemn look on his face, and said to himself: "But what is the relationship between Liu Xiu and Xun Kuang? He actually let Xun Kuang sacrifice the interests of Confucianism to save him?"
Xun Kuang hoped that Qin Hao could compete fairly instead of relying on despicable means like assassination, but if Qin Hao insisted on having his own way, Xun Kuang would have no ability to stop him.
Therefore, in order to prevent Qin Hao from committing a crime and to save Liu Xiu's life, Xun Kuang promised Qin Hao in his letter that as long as Qin Hao gave up assassinating Liu Xiu, the Xun family would be completely loyal to Qin Hao from now on.
Of course, this is actually the collective will of the Xun family. After all, according to the news from Xun Yu, Qin Hao's future prospects are simply unlimited, so of course he must invest in advance.
However, Qin Hao didn't know this. He thought this was a concession made by Xun Kuang in order to save Liu Xiu.
There was a huge threat from the Bai family before, and a huge temptation from the Xun family later, which left Qin Hao with no choice at all.
It's impossible for Qin Hao to fall out with the entire Bai family just to kill Liu Xiu, let alone the Xun family.
The three major Confucian families, Confucius, Mencius, and Xun, control the lifeblood of the entire Confucianism, and all the forces of Confucianism are under these three families, and the influence of any one family is immeasurable.
Among these three families, the Xun family currently has the greatest influence and also has the most talents, such as Xun's Eight Dragons and Xun's Sanruo.
Xun's Eight Dragons refers to Xun Shu's eight sons: Xun Jian, Xun Cui, Xun Jing, Xun Tao, Xun Wang, Xun Shuang, Xun Su, and Xun Min.
Xun's Sanruo refers to Xun Shu's three grandsons: Xun Yu, Xun Kan, and Xun Yan, respectively named Wenruo, Youruo, and Xiuruo.
As long as Qin Hao can get the allegiance of the Xun family, he can get most of the talents among them.
The reason why it is said to be the majority is because Xun Shuang, the leader of contemporary Confucianism, is the head of the Eight Dragons of the Xun family, and of course it is impossible for him to be loyal to Qin Hao due to his status.
In addition, Xun Kan and Xun Youruo, among the three Xun family members, have now served as officials under Yuan Shao. Xun Yu's nephews, Xun You and Xun Gongda, have also pledged their allegiance to Cao Cao. As for Xun Yu, he has already joined Qin Hao.
In addition to these people, Xun Yan's other Xun family heroes are also world-famous talents. If they are all loyal to Qin Hao, they will definitely be a big help.
Of course, what Qin Hao valued more was the influence of the Xun family among the scholars in the world.
So Qin Hao couldn't refuse at all. After all, he was the one who had taken advantage of him, so what else could he be dissatisfied with? He could only happily give up on assassinating Liu Xiu.
Qin Hao wrote hard and quickly wrote a letter. He also summoned a guard in royal robes and said in a deep voice: "Send this letter to the Xun family in Yingchuan and tell Xun Kuang, the head of the Xun family, his conditions."
I have agreed and hope that the Xun family can move to Nanyang as soon as possible."
"No." Jin Yiwei responded, then turned and left.
Qin Hao spent a lot of effort to build Nanyang Academy. Now with Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan in charge, the academy's situation is getting better and better, and it can continue to supply Qin Hao with mid-level talents.
After the Xun family took refuge, although it was impossible for Xun Shuang to serve Qin Hao, he would definitely not refuse to stay in Nanyang Academy to support himself. By then, relying on the reputation of the Xun family and Xun Shuang, he would definitely be able to do so.
Attracted a large number of scholars to come.
Because of Bai Jia and Xun Kuang, Qin Hao could only give up the assassination of Liu Xiu, but this did not mean that Qin Hao would let Liu Xiu go. After all, Xun Kuang said that he would not be assassinated, but he did not say that he could not be killed by force.
After going around in circles, in the end it was necessary to rely on the army to kill Liu Xiu. This made Qin Hao sigh that Liu Xiu's life was really tough.
Considering Yue Fei's strength, it would be easy to defeat Liu Xiu but difficult to kill him. After all, Liu Xiu could only run away if he was beaten, so Qin Hao was going to find some allies for Yue Fei.
A hint of wisdom flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he sneered and ordered: "Come here, quickly bring Huang Zu and Han Xuan to me."
After a while, a group of soldiers arrived escorting Huang and Han. Qin Hao looked at the two people coldly and said with an indifferent expression: "Two prefects, I have something that I don't understand. I wonder if you can explain it to me.
Confused?"
"Master Marquis, please tell me, I know everything I know."
Han Xuan had a face that was flattering to the extreme. He looked like a prince who was in charge of a party.
Huang Zu was very courageous and said coldly: "I am a prisoner below the rank, and I can't help myself. If you have anything to ask, just ask it quickly, and then please give me a good time."
"good."
Qin Hao looked into Huang Zu's eyes and said coldly: "Then I would like to ask you two prefects, do I, Qin Hao, have any grudge against you?"
However, Huang Zu looked at Qin Hao without any fear and said in a deep voice: "No hatred or resentment."
"Then why do you six princes unite to attack my family?"
Qin Hao's sudden shouting almost scared Han Xuan to the point of peeing, and Huang Zu also looked thoughtful. At this time, he finally realized that the five princes had no grudges against Qin Hao.
The reason for the alliance to crusade was just because Qin Hao was the strongest in Jingzhou, which aroused the fear of the five princes. After all, no one wanted to have a sword hanging over their head.
Qin Hao looked at the two of them coldly and said in a deep voice: "You and other short-sighted people are afraid that I will unify Jingzhou by force, so you just use your weapons lightly. Little do you know that I have no interest in Jingzhou at all, and I only went south to capture Xiangyang."
It’s just self-preservation.”
Huang Zu sneered at what Qin Hao said.
Today is a time of chaos among the princes. Which prince does not want to expand his territory and then expand his power to dominate the world?
Jingzhou is a large state with vast land and dense population, and its geographical location is extremely important.
For such a treasured land, if Qin Hao had no interest in Jingzhou at all, he would not believe it even if he killed Huang Zu.
