At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was divided into three kingdoms, with a gathering of heroes and heroes, but Liu Bei was the most talented.

Yuan Shao, not only generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but also Hebei Siting Zhu, are all generals who can take charge on their own. Cao Cao, only the clan generals of their Xiahou clan and Cao clan, are five, six, seven or eight, as well as more than ten people such as Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Li Dian, etc., who can also be regarded as a handsome man for a while.

However, the generals under Liu Bei were only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.

Regarding Zhang Zhaozai, there is no problem in charging into battle, and it is no problem to attack the city, but who will defend the territory that has been laid?

Not to mention anything else, after the defeat of Hanzhong, Jiameng Pass, Baishui Pass, Baochuan Road, Meridian Valley, these remote but critical places, there must be generals and troops stationed, right?

Counting on Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to garrison is not just a matter of overkill.

Uncle Liu Huang is not only in urgent need of military generals, but Wenchen is also a rare resource.

Sun Qian can be the Minister of Logistics; Mi Zhu can be in charge of all the business under Uncle Liu Huang; Jian Yong likes to make friends everywhere and can be the foreign minister. These three people have their own strengths, but they are not up to the task, serving as the county magistrate.

At present, Uncle Liu's territory is still small, and he can barely hold on.

Once the entire territory of Hanzhong is taken, it will be more than ten counties; Once Jingxiang and Sichuan Shu are taken, it will be twenty or thirty counties, and there will be more than one hundred or dozens of counties. There is only a gap between the county order and the county guard, where did so many civil officials come from under Uncle Liu Huang?

You can't let Zhuge Liang take charge of so many counties, right?

In the previous life, the original owner did his best to die and then died, but in this life, Zhuge Liang was not ready to bow in person!

From a high vantage point, you only need to grasp the main thing, and the following small things will naturally be solved by the officials below.

Therefore, recruiting talents for Uncle Liu Huang is also in Zhuge Liang's plan.

On the same day, when the plan was to merge vertically and horizontally, the reason why Zhao Zilong was asked to escort Pang Tong to Shuzhong was that Zhuge Liang was also selfish.

Most people don't know that Zhang Ren, the general of Shuzhong, is Zhao Zilong's senior brother. But Zhuge Liang, as a guest from later generations, how could he not know this gossip?

What's more, when Uncle Liu Huang went to Sichuan and Shu in his previous life, this Zhang Ren was angry because he shot Pang Tong, but Zhang Ren was directly killed after being captured. Later, Zhao Zilong also paid tribute.

Isn't it a pity that such a great general has not been able to make the best use of it?

If so, when Pang Tong sent an envoy to Xichuan, Zhuge Liang thought about digging Zhang Ren.

Of course, at present, Zhang Ren is likely not to be shaken, but as long as a seed is planted, coupled with the brotherhood with Zhao Zilong, when Uncle Liu Huang takes Sichuan and Shu in the future, Zhang Ren will not make any more senseless sacrifices, right?

……

Zhuge Liang is planning for Liu Bei, naturally there is not only one Zhang Ren.

Jingxiang Seven Counties, as well as Runan and other places, in fact, there are many talents who are in the opposition or have no ambitions.

For example, Li Yan, who served as a warden in Xiangyang City (seems to be called Li Ping at this time, right?) Wei Yan, who served as a city gate official in Changsha, Fa Zheng, who was preparing to defect to Sichuan and Shu, Gan Ning, who was stumbling under Huang Zu, Guan Ping, the second son of Guanjiazhuang in Jizhou, and Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, who fell into grass on a certain hill in Yanzhou.

These people, in their previous lives, most of them would be drawn into Uncle Liu's bowl sooner or later.

But now, Zhuge Liang and the mountain ahead of schedule, some things have deviated, will these people take the initiative to vote?

Zhuge Liang didn't dare to guarantee it.

So, before Zhuge Liang sent to Jingzhou, he implored Liu Bei to write a letter of solicitation.

Now, these letters have been delivered to all directions with the help of the Mi family's caravans.

As for how many people can come to defect at that time, it can only depend on their respective creations.

……

Xiangyang City, Chengnan Civilian District, Li Mansion.

"This is Li Yan's mansion?"

Zhuge Liang couldn't believe it and looked at the guy who led the way.

The guy is from the Mi family's shop.

Zhuge Liang only knew that Li Yan was a warden in Xiangyang City, but he didn't know where Li Yan's family lived, which inevitably aroused Liu Jingzhou's curiosity, and he didn't dare to blatantly find Li Yan through the official, so he could only ask the Mi family's shop.

Finally, the Mi family's shop in Xiangyang City can be regarded as a local snake, and after three or five days of hard work, they found Li Yan's home address.

So, at dusk, Zhuge Liang came to pay a visit.

In the past few days, the mission to Jingzhou has been successfully completed, and Zhuge Liang stayed in Xiangyang City, mainly for Li Yan.

Memories of his previous life, Li Yan, a scholar from Nanyang Hanmen, originally served as a warden in Jingzhou, worked diligently for one or two decades, and finally was promoted to the county magistrate of Zigui County in the thirteenth year of Jian'an.

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, everyone knows that in that year, several earth-shattering events happened.

The first is that Liu Biao died of illness, the second is that Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to go south to Jingxiang, and the third is the retreat of Uncle Liu Huang's Xinye.

Li Yan's luck was not good, and he finally turned positive, but when he entered the bureaucratic class, he ran into Cao Cao going south to Jingxiang.

In fact, if Li Yan wanted to be a second minister and surrender to Cao Cao directly, he would not be able to run away without a county order.

However, Li Yan is just a fan of the Han Dynasty, and he wants to be a Hanchen if he thinks about it.

So, when Jingzhou was captured by Cao Cao, Li Yan switched to Xichuan.

Later, when Uncle Liu Huang seized Xichuan, Li Yan naturally became Uncle Liu's Hanchen.

Then, the White Emperor City entrusted Gu, and Li Yan was also a heavy minister.

It's a pity that the young master Liu Chan is easy to coax, Li Yan's official is getting bigger and bigger, and later his heart is also wild, and he is just fighting for power with the original owner Zhuge Liang, and he actually supports the army and respects himself, and was finally demoted to a civilian and died of illness in Zitong County.

This is all the memory of the original owner's previous life, about Li Yan.

Although there are only sporadic bits and pieces of memory, combined with the historical materials of later generations, it is difficult for Zhuge Liang to understand Li Yan!

Because of Li Yan's talent, because Li Yan is a fan of the Han family, Zhuge Liang now wants to recruit Li Yan in advance for the lord.

As for whether Li Yan would embark on the road of no return in his previous life, Zhuge Liang didn't care very much.

The original owner Zhuge Liang may want to monopolize power, but Zhuge Liang in this life is still not the original owner, and he doesn't want to monopolize power. As long as he can assist Uncle Liu Huang to achieve great causes, Li Yan will have nothing to fight for power at that time.

……

Outside Li Yan's mansion.

Looking at the somewhat dilapidated courtyard, Zhuge Liang felt that the original owner's obsession with Li Yan disappeared in an instant.

After all, at this time, Li Yan was just a mere warden, and he was not in the bureaucratic class.

Li Yan's ideal of struggle at this time is only afraid that he wants to turn positive, and he is afraid that he will become a lonely minister in the future, whether he will support the army and respect himself, and he is afraid that he will be overwhelmed.

What's more, in this life, because of Zhuge Liang's early departure from the mountain, many things have already deviated.

Li Yan may still fight for power and profit, but Zhuge Liang will not give him a chance to support his own army!
