As Liu Bei, I am always pleased when Kong Rong expands into Dong (commandery). His long Dong territory shields me from the creepy old vassalizer Yuan Shao.
@james-972095 жыл бұрын
Well I have find that yuan shao isn't much of a problem just built and upgrade the garrison building in dong (just in case) also dong should be your only city by the river in early game again just in case and that's about it really destroy Cao Cao (good chances that xiahu dun will join you ) and then declare war on yuan shao and get over with p.s. yuan shao usually takes a while to come at you even if he declares war because he tends to declare on pretty much half of the northern factions the same can be said about his vassalising p.s.2 I heard that vassalising is all about food so make sure you produce tons of it

Its ironic in a sense, because Confucius and his ideals were also persecuted for a time in China, since they basically preached against corrupt and decadent government. So in a way, the ancestor of Confucius meet a very similar ending to his predecessor. Persecuted and murdered during his life, only to become an idealistic figure afterwards.

Kong Rong's true 'lord' is his own idealism. even Liu Bei would eventually run out of patience with him. Kong Rong has no place as leader of a faction or even as minister for a Lord. His true place is as a teacher at a school, or at best: minister of education.

kong rong has no vision, other than pursuit of his own idealism. ( he doesn't care about your ambition to rise and thrive in this world, he only want to do what's right (according to him) ) Everyone could see he's not worth following. Worth helping, yes. But not worth following. Even Taishi Ci leaves once his business is done, even to him Kong Rong is not a worthy leader. Think of Kong Rong as the absolute straight A+ student in your school absolutely the smartest guy and the person teacher loves for his great attitude, ethics and obedience... but everyone else just keep friendly distance from him... People may come to him if they need help, but otherwise... honestly they'd rather have nothing to do with him. The story would be different had Kong Rong been blessed with great martial arts prowess, being a badass warrior. He could had been a lone unstoppable free warrior helping people here and there, like a wuxia hero. Unfortunately he's not. And this was the era of blades, not internet.

The "creator of Taoism" - depends on which sect you're talking about. If you're talking about Lao Tzu himself, there are no prominent Li's at the time. As for Taoist leaders...well, the entire Yellow Turban faction are. And then there's Zhang Lu, 3rd Celestial Master of the Zhengyi Sect in Hanzhong...but at the start of the game for some reason it's someone else. The FLAG reads Zhang, though.
@travisanderson775 жыл бұрын
@@codybonds The story goes that Kong Rong 孔融 paid a visit to the official Li Ying 李膺 where the event in question took place. According to the story, Li Ying was a descendant of Li Er 李耳, another name traditionally ascribed to Laozi, the "founder" of Daoism. In Chinese, the family name comes first, in the case of both Li Ying and Li Er, 李. Confucius' name in Chinese was Kong Qiu 孔丘, but he was more commonly called Kong Fuzi 孔夫子. When Latinized, Kong Fuzi becomes "Confucius". Here again, the clue is found in the family name Kong 孔 in both Kong Qiu and Kong Rong.

Maybe a "loyal" Kong Rong could be similarly interesting, not expanding outside of Qing province and remaining loyal to the Han until the Three Kingdoms era.
