But he said that Cao Cao,

Since the discussion of Dong, he has led the army to garrison Dongjun.

"Big brother, now that our army is stationed in Dongjun, although we have a place to live, there is no source of soldiers, and the grain and grass will run out, what should I do next." Cao Ren asked.

"Recruitment, a certain preparation for recruitment, visit talent." Cao Cao replied without thinking.

"Big brother, I heard that His Royal Highness King Hongnong of Youzhou in the north issued a recruitment order, but he offended many families. If we do this, I'm afraid we will also be disgusted by the world's families. Cao Ren said.

"Just like the king of Hongnong said that the world is in chaos, how can the people of the family focus on their own interests and help me selflessly, this Dongjun is not a certain territory, it is impossible to recruit soldiers at all, and issuing a recruitment order is the only way out. And often in the troubled times, the virtuous people are not the people of the family, the so-called big hidden in the city, small hidden in the wild. There are more talents among ordinary people. Dongjun Qiaomao is a member of the family, and as long as we don't recruit people from the family, he will not object. Cao Cao explained to Cao Ren.

"Since that's the case, then Cao Ren will go and prepare now." Cao Ren said.

"There you go!"

……

After Cao Cao issued the recruitment order, the world was also greatly shocked, but Cao Cao was different from Liu Bian, although Liu Biao issued a recruitment order, although the family did not like it, they only scolded Liu Bian in their hearts, but Cao Cao was different, as soon as Cao Cao's recruitment order came out, he was immediately criticized by the family, and many families scolded Cao Cao Yunyun.

"Cao Mengde was stimulated by the defeat and had no way out, so he acted like this."

"Do you want to learn from the same as King Hongnong, and fight against the world's families."

"It's really whimsical to use those poor scholars and what other mountain and wild horsemen to replace the children of the family."

"Sure enough, after the eunuchs and eunuchs, they knew that they were lowly, so they could only recruit those lowly mountain and wild horsemen."

Some friends like Cao Cao sent letters to ask, such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's childhood playmate.

At this time, Cao Cao was reading the letter written by Yuan Shao.

"Knowing that Mengde is difficult, I specially sent a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, two hundred thousand copper coins, and a hundred war horses, this is my brother's heart, I hope Mengde will accept it, and persuade Mengde to recruit those mud legs, mountain and village husbands, willing to fall, if Mengde needs, my brother can recommend some scholars and talents for Mengde."

"Zixiao, this is a letter written by Yuan Benchu, take a look." With that, Cao Cao gave the letter in his hand to Cao Ren.

Cao Ren read the letter carefully, and then said, "Big brother, if you are talking about the big brother's recruitment order today, and not many people have come to defect recently, I think it's better to forget it." ”

"Zixiao, who are you saying that Cao Mengde is scolding me today?" Cao Cao asked.

"It's all a family valve." Cao Ren replied.

"Then in this world, there are many people from the family or there are many people from the poor family." Cao Cao asked again.

"Naturally, there are many poor students." Cao Ren replied

"In that case, what does it matter, have you heard any poor students scolding so-and-so?" Cao Cao laughed.

"Zixiao understands."

……

On this day, a guest came to Cao Cao's mansion.

"Meng De, my brother heard that you issued a recruitment order, so I came to see you."

"Thank you, Brother Yuanwei." Cao Cao replied.

Yuan Wei is the character of Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, so this guest is Qiaomao.

"Meng De issued the order to recruit talents, my brother also heard about it, and my brother wanted to persuade Meng De, although there are talented people among the children of this poor family, most of them are rich and abundant, although there are small plans and no great wisdom, although there are small talents but no great ability, so Meng De still gave up." Qiao Mao said earnestly and persuasively.

"Cao Cao once again thanked Brother Yuan Wei for his kindness, but as King Nahongnong said, the heroes who helped His Majesty Gaozu to conquer the Han Dynasty are almost all nobles, and Cao Cao's identity is also destined not to attract the children of the family, so Brother Yuan Wei's kindness can only be understood." Cao Cao said ashamedly.

"Alas! That's it! Qiao Mao sighed, "Brother can't help Meng De too much, now Meng De is in difficulty, Brother is ready to send you Linyi, Leping two counties, whether it is recruiting troops or paying taxes, I don't care for my brother." Qiao Mao said.

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect Qiao Mao to give him such a gift, and hurriedly said, "No, this gift is too heavy, Brother Yuan Wei has given Cao Cao a place to live, and Cao Cao deserves to give such a big gift." ”

"Mengde, let's tell you the truth, first, how can you allow others to sleep under this couch Meng De should understand, let Meng De stay in Puyang, for his brother will not be at peace, Meng De will not be at peace, and secondly, for his brother, he also knows that Meng De is a talented person, and he will soar in the future, and at the same time, he is not ungrateful. Meng De will take it! Qiao Mao said.

When Cao Cao heard this, he also understood, he also knew that he couldn't stay in Dongjun for a long time, since someone gave him a place to live, although he was still in Dongjun, but at least this was his own territory, and there was only a favor on the left, so he was happy to accept it.

"Brother Yuan Wei's kindness today, Cao Cao will definitely repay him, if there is something, Brother Yuan Wei will give orders." Cao Cao said.

Meng De said so, and he was relieved. I said goodbye to my brother. Qiao Mao said, Qiao Mao also knew that this was just Cao Cao's kind words, but at least the favor was in hand, and there would be an extra way back in the future.

"Brother Yuan Wei, Cao Cao will send you."

After Qiao Mao left, Cao Cao convened his subordinates to discuss the matter.

"I didn't expect this Qiao Mao to send such a big gift, big brother, your recruitment order is really right." Xiahoudun said with a smile.

Cao Ren, Cao Hong suddenly glared at Xiahoudun.

"Okay, it's decided that tomorrow the army will go to Linyi." Cao Cao said.

"By the way, the eldest brother was ambushed by Xu Rong last time, the younger brother felt that the eldest brother was missing a warrior as a guard, and there was a person named Dian Wei under my command, who had the courage to chase the tiger and drive the bear, so that a pair of eighty pounds of iron halberds, no one in this army was his enemy, and I couldn't carry Shihe when I was fighting." Xiahoudun said.

"There is such a brave general in a certain army, but I never knew it, if it is really as Yuan Rang said, let him be a certain guard, I am afraid it will be overkill." Cao Cao looked surprised.

"The life of the eldest brother is the most important thing, and besides, Na Dian Wei is not good at riding, so it is better to let him be the eldest brother's guard." Xiahoudun retorted.

"Alright then, then let Dian Wei be my bodyguard." Cao Cao didn't say anything either. After all, the last incident scared him so much that his soul came out, and it would be better to have a fierce general by his side to protect him.

……

The next day, Cao Cao went to Linyi with his army.

……

At this time, Liu Wei, who was far away in Youzhou, couldn't smile bitterly when he heard Cao Cao's recruitment order, and thought in his heart, "My recruitment order was originally learned from your Cao Cao." Unexpectedly, but now it's you Cao Cao who learned from me Liu Bian, it's really providential. ”

"Fengxiao, what do you think of this Cao Cao's recruitment order." Liu Wei said to Guo Jia beside him that since Guo Jia took up the service that day, he has been taken by Liu Wei's side.

"This Cao Cao is a bold man, who dares to risk the world to do nothing." Guo Jia said.

"Feng Xiao seems to have forgotten that Lone is the first person." Liu Wei said with a smile.

"It's different." Guo Jia said,

Guo Jia continued, "If it weren't for Wen Ruo, maybe Guo Jia would go to Cao Cao, at that time, in Guo Jia's opinion, this Cao Mengde was the most talented person among the princes, of course, after this period of time with His Royal Highness, Guo Jia was also glad that he and Wen Ruo came to Youzhou at that time." ”

"Fengxiao, Fengxiao." Liu Wei looked at Guo Jia and smiled.

"A capable minister who rules the world, a traitor in troubled times. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it also shows Cao Cao's ability. Liu Wei said.

"As soon as this recruitment order comes out, I'm afraid that there will be many talents like Fengxiao who will go to Cao Cao." Liu Wei continued.

"Yes, I heard Wen Ruo say that many people want to go to Cao Cao, so they didn't come to Youzhou with him." Guo Jia sighed.

"Haha, Lone still wants to thank Wen Ruo, if he hadn't brought you, how could Lone get you Guo Fengxiao." Liu Wei said with a smile.

"Your Highness has won the prize." Although he said it modestly, there was no modesty on Guo Jia's face.

"Fengxiao, Lone is also going to send some things to Cao Cao. What do you say is good? Liu Wei asked.

"Guo Jia doesn't know what His Highness thinks, so it's better for His Highness to decide for himself." Guo Jia said.

"You!" Liu Wei pointed at Guo Jiadao and said, "Gu decided to give him two quilts and some cotton seeds. ”

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, but he nodded after thinking about it, "That quilt, cotton is a good thing." ”

"Otherwise, Lone will also give you a quilt." Liu Wei said with a smile.

"Then thank Your Highness, Guo Jia wants things very tightly." Guo Jia said without hesitation.

"You!"

"So I decided to send someone to give him two quilts and some cotton seeds." Liu Wei said.
