Time flew by, and soon it came to the beginning of July of the fourth year of Jian'an.

Although a lot of things happened during this time that were enough to change the situation in the world, after a major event came, all these things stood aside!

This major event is - Cao Cao and Yuan Shao finally sparked a spark of love and killing, Yuan Shao has officially released a crusade against Cao Cao, and mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to prepare to wave their troops south to fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao!

After Yuan Yao heard the news, he immediately had a lot of joy, the battle of Guandu was finally about to begin, before the battle of Guandu was decided, Cao Cao definitely didn't have time to take care of himself, and by the way, Liu Bei, the big-eared thief, definitely didn't have time to stare at himself!

In this way, his current enemy is only Sun Ce, with the help of Li Siye and Zhang Xutuo, even if he can't make progress, there is still no pressure to hold the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang.

I can finally relax a little bit, and I can finally enjoy the free air a little!

It's really cool!!

At this time, ten days have passed since Yuan Yao issued the order to seek talents, and Yuan Yao has finally dealt with Yuan Shu's funeral during this period of time, of course, this is also related to Yuan Shu's 'death deserved', Yuan Yao's everything is simple and has nothing to do with most of it, otherwise these ten days will definitely not be enough.

In these ten days, Yuan Yao's order to seek talents in Jingxiang, Jiangdong, Jianghuai and the Central Plains caused a lot of waves, countless scholars and heroes gathered towards Shouchun, and Shouchun City, which had just recovered its vitality, became a lot more prosperous, and you can see high-minded scholars and celebrities and heroes with swords and knives everywhere in the city.

Shouchun City, the main hall of the county guard.

Yang Hong, who had previously sent an envoy to Xuchang, finally returned to Shouchun today, Yang Hong had just entered the city and hurriedly came to meet Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao saw Yang Hong come in, laughed and stepped forward to greet him, and said: "Hahahaha, my uncle is finally back, this time I sent Xu Du, it's really hard uncle." ”

Yang Hong bowed down and said: "The lord must not be like this, the minister is the lord and the minister, how can he be called uncle!" What the minister did was just his duty, the lord killed Liu Xun to seize the Lujiang River, and Yang I Shouchun was powerful, this is the real hard work! If there is no lord to show the prestige of our army, this time to send Xu Du, the minister will definitely be in a difficult situation, how can it be so easy! ”

Yuan Yao let out an 'oh' and said, "Listening to what Changshi said, it seems that Changshi's trip was a great success?" But Cao Cao agreed to my father's succession as a general? ”

Yang Hong took out a volume of edict from his arms and said: "The lord is wise, Cao Cao not only agreed to the lord to inherit the position of the old lord's general, but also crowned the lord as the marquis of Guannei, and the edict is here." ”

Yuan Yao took the edict and opened it to look at it, and said: "The position of the rear general, the marquis of Guannei, it seems that my uncle Chu has brought a lot of pressure to Cao Cao, if it is in normal times, how can Cao Cao be so generous, it is really fate!" ”

Yang Hong stroked his short beard lightly and replied: "What the lord said is very true, Yuan Benchu hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered on the north bank of the Yellow River to look at the Central Plains, at this time Xu Capital City has almost become a pot of porridge, it is estimated that Cao Cao will personally lead his troops north to fight with Yuan Benchu in recent days." ”

Yuan Yao looked at the north and thought for a while, and said, "I don't know if the long history can see Cao Cao himself?" What does Changshi think about Cao Cao, and who has a better chance of winning this battle? ”

Yang Hong pondered for a moment, arched his hand and replied: "The minister is ashamed, did not see Cao Cao himself, after the minister arrived in Xudu, he was arranged to live in the post house, and then the news of the lord's victory over Liu Xun came, Cao Cao's adviser Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao met with me, and gave me this edict to seal the lord, after the minister got the edict, in order to prevent recurrence, he rushed back to Shouchun overnight. As for who wins and who loses in this battle, the minister does not dare to speculate on the army, and please forgive me! ”

Yuan Yao also flashed this section when he heard that Yang Hong had not seen Cao Cao with his own eyes, and said: "Since I haven't seen Cao Cao, forget it, Changshi sent Xu Du on my behalf when my life was in danger, not only eliminated Cao Cao's hostility, but also retrieved the sealed edict for me, which can be described as an outstanding meritorious service." Now Lujiang County is new, I have no one available, only the general Zhang Xutuo is the lieutenant of Lujiang County to sit in Shu County, Zhang Xutuo is proficient in military strategy but does not understand political affairs, I want to let Changshi serve as the position of Lujiang County Guard to take care of Lujiang County political affairs, I don't know what Changshi means? ”

When Yang Hong heard Yuan Yao's words, he understood what he meant, you just need to do your county guard and take care of political affairs, and you don't need to interfere in the military aspect, just leave it all to Zhang Xutuo.

However, although the right of this county guard is much smaller, Yang Hong is already very happy to know that Yuan Yao's subordinates are only two counties, and he can get the position of a county guard, and Yang Hong is also clear about his ability and positioning, he has no problem dealing with the political affairs of a county, but he is really not this piece of material in terms of military affairs.

Yang Hong also knows that their family foundation is still very thin, and now is not the time to intrigue for power and profit, at this time, everyone has to work together to make this plate first!

Yang Hong bowed down and responded: "Your Majesty has received the order, and the lord will take care of the political affairs of Lujiang County and help General Zhang guard the land of Lujiang County!" ”

Yuan Yao saw that Yang Hong was so knowledgeable, smiled and helped Yang Hong up, and said: "Uncle can think like this, I can rest assured, my uncle has been away from home for many days, let's go back to the house to rest for a few days, and after my uncle rests, I can go to Lujiang to take office." ”

"No, the minister retires!"

……

After Yang Hong left, Yuan Yao thought about it and asked people to find Li Siye.

"Si Ye, how is your Mo Dao Soldier training, and now it may become an army?"

Li Siye smiled proudly and replied: "Back to the lord, after the last general got the equipment given by the lord, he selected two hundred majestic soldiers from various armies (three hundred had been selected in Lujiang before), and now the five hundred Mo sword soldiers have been preliminarily organized and trained into an army, and they can become elite as long as they go through a few more battles." I don't know where the lord got the Mo Dao soldier equipment, can he still build some more? If there are one or two thousand Mo sword soldiers, our army will be invincible! ”

Yuan Yao had already asked the craftsman, and it was okay to say something about the heavy armor, but with the current smelting technology, there was no way to build the Mo Knife.

As a liberal arts student, Yuan Yao doesn't know the technology of ironmaking, he also wants to build a Mo knife on a large scale, but he really can't help it, he is also helpless!

If you had known today, you would have studied science in the first place!

Hey, now I can only wait for the time when luck can break out and pull out the advanced iron-making technology and the technology of forging the Mo Knife!

Yuan Yao patted Li Siye on the shoulder and said, "These five hundred sets of Mo Dao equipment are still made of meteorite iron that I found after searching all over the palace treasury, and now that these meteorite iron have been used up, I am afraid that I will not be able to create more Mo Dao in a short period of time." I will find another way to deal with this matter, and the current five hundred Mo sword soldiers are enough. ”

"Yang Taishou has brought back Cao Cao's edict to seal me as the Hou General Guan Neihou, I will move to the Hou General's Mansion within a few days, you will divide the five hundred Mo sword soldiers into five teams, and take turns to the Hou General on duty in the future, and the Mo sword soldiers will temporarily serve as my personal guard. Hello, prepare for it, in the next few days, I plan to use Mo Dao to show martial arts to raise the prestige of my army! ”

"No, the last general will be ordered, and he will definitely dispatch good men to prepare!"

"Well, you go down and get ready."

……

Anyway, it's nothing, so I'll go to the recruitment hall to take a look, it's been ten days now, let's go and see if the talent seeking order has attracted real talents!

After Yuan Yao made up his mind, he went straight to the Zhaoxian Pavilion.

Yuan Yao wore a casual dress in order to secretly visit Xian, I have to say that Yuan Yao's genes are really good, he looks quite elegant in a green shirt, and Yuan Yao is only nineteen years old now, and he is not very conspicuous among a group of young scholars, Yuan Yao did not attract much attention along the way.

The waiter at the gate of the Zhaoxian Pavilion saw Yuan Yao coming, and hurriedly went to report to Xiao Dezi, who heard that his boss was coming and hurriedly came out to greet him, "Lord ......"

Yuan Yao stopped Xiao Dezi with a look, and said softly: "Don't make a noise, let's go talk elsewhere, you lead the way in front." ”

Xiao Dezi nodded and took Yuan Yao to the study, and said: "The minister greets the lord, I didn't expect the lord to come over suddenly, and I ask the lord to forgive me!" ”

Yuan Yao waved his hand and said, "It was my sudden idea, I don't blame you, you bring the roster of scholars who live in the Zhaoxian Hall, I'll take a look at it first." ”

"No!"

Xiao Dezi took the roster from the bookshelf next to him, and Yuan Yao hurriedly opened it to check it.

"Jiangxia Mengli, Jiangxia Li Da,......, Xiangyang Wang Da, Xiangyang Zhao Wu,......, Runan Su Lin, Yingchuan Feng Zhang,......"

Yuan Yao took a rough look at the roster, but he didn't expect that there was not even a familiar name on it, and it didn't appear at all as he imagined.

Yuan Yao was disappointed for a while and figured it out, in this era when fame is greater than everything, talented people will generally be famous, if there is really such a person who lives in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, I am afraid that Xiao Dezi would have come to report to him a long time ago.

And in these years, it costs a lot of money to learn martial arts and study, and the really talented people are generally the children of the scholar clan, even if they are not the children of the scholar clan, at least there is a wealthy family standing behind the family.

Such a master is naturally not short of money to spend, and people would rather hide in the dark and observe you for a while than live in the Zhaoxian Hall in order to save a few small money.

Yuan Yao believed that his recruitment would definitely attract real talents and heroes to come, but these people were still hiding in the city to observe him.

Well, whether this is the case or not, Yuan Yao can only comfort himself like this now.

However, when Yuan Yao was extremely disappointed, suddenly a name that made him overjoyed appeared in front of him, and this name was - Xiangyang Longguang!
