When he looked at Yan Shao, Cao Cao's gaze was a little envious.

Yes, now the four generals of Qingzhou are also famous, and they can be called the leading figures in Qingzhou, but in fact, the talents in Qingzhou are definitely not only these four people, in addition to Guan Hai and Sun Guan who followed Yan Shao at the earliest, there are also many talents under Yan Shao's account.

Many of these people are running for Yan Shao's reputation as a Bole.

The ancients once said that Maxima is common, but Bole is not. The so-called natural talent must be useful, not to say that everyone really has their own advantages, but at least there are definitely not a few people with ability and talent in this world, and the reason why they are unknown is nothing more than that they have no chance...

Just like Huang Zhong, if it weren't for Yan Shao's factor, I'm afraid he would have spent most of his life in Jingzhou like in history, and he wouldn't meet Liu Bei until he was old.

And there are countless examples like Huang Zhong in history.

This is especially true in periods like the Han Dynasty...

I don't know how many people in this world feel that their talents are overwhelmed, and they hope to meet a master who appreciates themselves, but unfortunately this thing is too difficult to meet. This is also the reason why many of Cao Cao's generals in history were generals, but they were loyal to him.

Think about the so-called five good generals, except for one Le Jin and one Yu Ban, almost all of them were generals obtained by Cao Cao's campaign. Zhang He originated from Yuan Shao, Zhang Liao originated from Lu Bu, Xu Huang originated from Yang Feng...

Among them, except for one Zhang He, who had the prestige of Hebei Siting Zhu, the remaining two did not have much fame when they took refuge in Cao Cao, if it were not for Cao Cao, how could they have the prestige of later, and it is no wonder that they would be willing to die.

It's the same now, since Yan Shao's reputation for knowing people has spread, many people who feel that their talents have been submerged have come to defect, making Yan Shao's account full of talents.

And Yan Shao has indeed discovered a lot of talents through the advantages of the traverser. And this also attracts more talents to defect to Yan Shao, which further expands Yan Shao's camp.

Of course, we all know very well that Yan Shao himself does not have a vision for people, at least not more outstanding than Cao Cao or Liu Bei, but others don't know this, right?

So Yan Shao's reputation of 'knowing people' is spreading more and more, and now, it has spread all over the country, and it has also attracted more talents, one by one, one by one, in fact, it is really not very strange, no matter how Yan Shao can now be regarded as the master of one party, Qingzhou can also be regarded as strong, even if it is not as good as a big state like Jizhou or Yuan Shu, who occupies a rich land, at least it can be ranked in the top five.

With such strength and a master who is good at discovering talents, if you don't defect to such a thing, will you defect to Liu Bei?

However, it should be noted that most of the people who defected to Yan Shao were from poor backgrounds...

The reason is also very simple, the children of the real family do not need to worry about the problem of being a leader, because their background has already decided many issues. At this point, you only need to look at how many children of the family are under the accounts of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

And because the children of the family have been educated since birth, at least they have been fully cultivated. Even if these people's qualifications are a little worse, at least the lower limit is still much stronger than that of ordinary farmers.

Not everyone can be like Zhu Yuanzhang...

The vast majority of people, even if they are talented, are not well trained enough, not to mention that someone needs to give them opportunities.

Chaos is the ladder...

The reason why some people always say that heroes are born in troubled times is because the chaotic times can give those who have no chance a chance to give a chance to climb up.

This can be seen from the Three Kingdoms period alone, such as Liu Bei, the most grassroots. Although he also has the name of the emperor's uncle, but that is in history, and after Liu Bei already has some fame and strength, in the early days, he was just the most grassroots people, living by selling straw shoes, no wonder Yuan Shu looked down on him.

His brother Guan Yu is a mung bean seller, and the other brother is only middle-class.

As for the name of the so-called imperial uncle, at least in the early days, he really didn't have any leverage at all.

And it was precisely with the sudden arrival of the troubled times that Liu Bei finally had a chance to climb up, and it also allowed him to achieve his ambitions and long-cherished wishes.

There are many other heroes, although they have not become powerful overlords like Liu Bei, but at least they have become heroes. For example, Zhang Liao under Cao Cao's account, Gan Ning under Sun Quan's account, etc., and a series of other characters, if it weren't for the troubled times, there would be no chance at all...

So...

Chaos is a ladder...

It's a pity that the person who said this said it died himself...

As far as the family is concerned, there is no need for them to take refuge in Yan Shao, even if they don't take refuge in Yan Shao, they have a chance to get ahead. Whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu or other good people, they are also from a family, and they will definitely treat them well, and the only people who will defect to Yan Shao are those who are from a poor family...

Only Yan Shao will really treat them well...

With the advantage of Yan Shao's traverser, he can select all the famous talents in history, and Dong Zhao, Cheng Yu and Li Ru under Yan Shao's account also have enough vision, plus Zhao Yun and others, it can be said that Yan Shao's account is indeed full of talents now. Even if there are some fish that slip through the net, it is not impossible to climb up.

Of course, there are also people who are resentful, feeling that they are obviously talented, but they are not taken seriously, and more importantly, they feel that Yan Shao's so-called wisdom is absolutely just nonsense.

However, in the case that the vast majority of people are satisfied, it doesn't matter if a small number of people are ignored, not to mention that in this kind of layer-by-layer screening, there are actually very few fish that slip through the net. The rest of the incompetent people, even if they are resentful, what waves can they afford?

No matter what, Cao Cao is still very envious of Yan Shao's talents, but the most important thing at the moment is to hurry up to meet the Son of Heaven, which is also the main face of their coming. Unlike Cao Cao in the later part of history, at least he was still very loyal and patriotic during this period, otherwise he would not have taken the risk of assassinating Dong Zhuo back then, let alone led the army to chase after him when the princes were all stagnant, but he was ambushed and almost died.

In comparison, Yan Shao's attitude towards the Son of Heaven is much simpler.

It doesn't matter, even if he is caught back by Li Dao, as long as he is not taken away by Cao Cao. The reason why he rushed over this time was also because he was worried that he would be taken away by Cao Cao or other princes, which would add a lot of variables to him...

"Let's go!"

Yan Shao and Cao Cao took the guards around them and soon came to the frame of the Son of Heaven.

Perhaps because he had just run out of Hangu Pass, the Son of Heaven and his entourage were obviously surprised, and they were very nervous, and they were startled when they saw the large number of soldiers and horses that suddenly appeared in front of them, until they saw the big flag on the soldiers and horses and the words on the big flag, and finally reacted.

After some briefing, Yan Shao and Cao Cao were soon allowed to meet the Son of Heaven, and the two were not polite.

"General Cao Cao of the Eastern Expedition..."

"Come and escort!"

Strictly speaking, Cao Cao's figure belongs to the five short figures, which also leads to Cao Cao not being very confident in his appearance, but he is definitely the kind of domineering side leakage.

In comparison, Yan Shao does not have Cao Cao's domineering, but he is one meter eight and five tall, and he can definitely be called burly in this era, plus if he is still handsome, at least he is tall and handsome. With a beautiful armor, it looks heroic and extraordinary.

Of course, Cao Cao has nothing to envy about this, after all, if he is really envious, then he is afraid that he will be envious all day long, how troublesome. Not to mention anything else, his little Yuan Shao is definitely the kind of very handsome person, otherwise he is just a concubine, how could he get the attention of the elders in the family, and then be discovered for his talent.

In addition to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu's appearance is still okay, although it is not as good as Yuan Shao, but at least it is much stronger than Cao Cao, at least his height.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Liu Xie also showed a different color, but he still showed an excited expression.

"The ministers are late for escort, and I hope Your Majesty can atone for your sins..."

"It's already a great achievement for Qing and others to come, if it weren't for the soldiers and horses sent by Qing and others, I'm afraid I would have fallen into the hands of thieves now..."

This is the truth, if Yan Shao and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses arrive a little later, I am afraid that Liu Xie has been caught by Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses, if it is like that, this operation is at least half of a failure, and the reason why it is half is because at least Liu Xie was not taken away by Cao Cao.

"Not bad..."Yang Biao, who had been with him, also nodded hurriedly, acknowledging the merits of the two.

It's not okay if you don't admit it, after all, the safety of the Son of Heaven is basically all on the two of them now, no matter what the reason is, he must have a better attitude towards the two.

"But it's not safe at the moment, let's get to Luoyang first and then give another reward..."After all, it's still too close to Hangu Pass now, if Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses break through the barrier, then they will be in danger...

Just listening to Yang Biao's words, Yan Shao and Cao Cao both showed embarrassed expressions.

"What's the matter, Meng De, General Yan, is there something wrong?"

Looking at the expressions of the two, Yang Biao asked a little strangely.

Because he and Meng De are also old acquaintances, they will be more intimate in words, and for Yan Shao's words, you must know that the last time Yan Shao came to Luoyang, it was when he became the Taishou of Beihai, and he never came again, and the closest one was also in Tiger Prison. Therefore, it can be said that he is not familiar with Yan Shao at all.

"This..."Looking at Yang Biao's appearance, the two knew that he didn't know anything about the current situation in Luoyang, and both of them seemed a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain to him what the current situation in Luoyang was.

To be reasonable, the situation in Luoyang is very...

Not very good...

If the Son of Heaven is allowed to go like this, it seems that there is nothing to be done except to live in the ruins for a while. And Luoyang is too big, and the soldiers and horses of the two alone can't hold Luoyang no matter what.

More importantly, in fact, it is still the problem of grain and grass0...

Over the years, there have been wars, Qingzhou is okay, because it started the Tuntian policy earlier, and it is still rich, but the situation in Yanzhou is different, and the war continues. In addition, there are all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, so it is actually not very rich, and even if the policy of tuntian is carried out, the time is still too short after all, and the effect is difficult to compare with Qingzhou.

So in terms of baggage, the problem is big ...

Although Yan Shao is not short of food, Qingzhou is too far away from here, and the problem is very troublesome, and although Yanzhou is close, it is a pity that there is not enough food...

"Could it be that the situation in Luoyang is very bad?"

"It's very bad, adults should have seen the appearance of Hangu Pass, today's Luoyang is a super-large Hangu Pass, and the situation is much worse than Hangu Pass, at least the current Hangu Pass can barely be regarded as a paradise, but Luoyang's words are..."

"Even if Your Majesty arrives in Luoyang, I'm afraid there won't be enough food, and because Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo before, it is barren, and now the people in the city are afraid that there are not even a few thousand, even if Your Majesty goes, it is useless..."

A city needs a sufficient population to do it, and Luoyang is certainly a super big city, but it can't be if there are only a few thousand people. That's right, a few thousand people are actually quite a lot, at least much stronger than ordinary small cities, but for an empire, it's not good, let alone the absolute heartfelt of an empire?

This is the case in Luoyang now, although it has a large enough scale, there are not enough people, even if Liu Xie and they can return to Luoyang, the situation is very bad, because Liu Xie does not have enough subjects at all?

"So what to do?" After listening to the narrative, Yang Biao also understood that he and the others had made a mistake in their previous plans. But it's not their fault, they have been trapped in Chang'an all these years, and they don't know much about the outside world, well, in fact, there is still some understanding, but the degree of understanding is not enough.

At least they hadn't seen some of the things with their own eyes, and they couldn't have imagined the current situation in Luoyang and other places anyway...

"Perhaps Your Majesty can choose another big city to live in temporarily, and wait until the population of Luoyang recovers..."Yan Shao quickly proposed.

"Of course, you can also move some rich families from all over the world to Luoyang, but judging from the current situation, it is somewhat unrealistic to do so..."Cao Cao also spoke.

The relocation of wealthy households is definitely not uncommon in the history of China, but unfortunately it is not suitable for the present. After all, the Han family now doesn't have much prestige, and it is impossible for the princes everywhere to let the heroes in their territory run to Luoyang, not to mention that those heroes themselves may not be happy...

"But none of this matters, the most important thing is to get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be fun to let the Xiliang Army catch up..."
