"Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have ceased fighting?" Dongjun-Taishou Mansion, Cao Cao is discussing with a group of Wenchen generals the military report he just received, the battle of Jiehe, Gongsun Zan's elite troops suffered heavy casualties, and they no longer had the heart to fight, so they withdrew to Youzhou overnight, licked their claws, and went to repair their wounds, Yuan Shao also suffered a lot of losses, and also folded the general Ju Yi, so he didn't chase after him, but concentrated on digesting Jizhou, which had just been obtained, and accumulating strength!

Everyone in the lobby was pondering, what will be the impact of the truce between the two major groups of Youzhou and Jizhou, and what will be the future development trend? Who will eat whom?

Cao Cao's military and political meetings are quite free, there are no constraints on various etiquette, and there are no restrictions on superiority and inferiority, as long as there are ideas in his heart, even a small school participating in the meeting can speak freely, everyone can whisper, can discuss openly, can also secretly hand notes, and can even bargain like in the vegetable market, than whose voice is higher!

If you want to win the war, you must tell the truth, war must not be false, and if you want to hear the truth, you must have freedom of speech, Cao Cao in order to create this atmosphere, he himself set an example,

First, don't wear formal dresses, regular clothes, armor, hunting clothes, even pajamas.

Second, the sitting posture is casual, and people can only relax their spirits when their bodies are relaxed, so in Cao Cao's meeting, you can lie down horizontally and vertically, as long as you can come up with a good idea, no one cares about you even if you take the big top!

Third, you can bring pets to attend, such as Cao Cao with the little black dog he raised!

After this period of domestication, the little black dog has obviously grown up, and at the same time it is more ferocious, coupled with Cao Cao's grace, it suddenly became a dog in his eyes, wandering around in the mansion every day, screaming when he sees people, biting when he meets people, fierce and powerful, because of its special identity, so everyone does not dare to do anything about it, as a result, this little guy is more and more rampant, today he actually pouted several strategists, although he is not big, but the momentum is terrifying!

Of course, it doesn't dare to mess with anyone, it's afraid of Xiao Yi to death, every time he sees it, he immediately runs away with his tail between his legs, and if he really can't run away, he will shake his head and tail and wag his tail, very obediently, looking like I don't bite, I'm a pug!

The reason is that the last time the little black dog was standing around in the house, he happened to be met by Xiao Yi, who was a dog lover in his previous life, he immediately got a treasure, grabbed the little black dog's neck, held it in his arms and played with it, pulled his ears, pinched his nose, lifted his tail ......, and then posed in various cute shapes, having a lot of fun, and finally even played the little black dog's Ding Ding with his fingers like a prank; Although the little black dog struggled hard, how could he escape from Xiao Yi's palm, he was abused enough, and he played until Cao Cao sent someone Cui He to a meeting, and then he reluctantly let go!

The lesson of blood wow, as long as Xiao Yi is present from now on, the little black dog will definitely obediently drill under Cao Cao's robe, and will not come out alive or dead, for its young mind, the 'black-faced demon' outside is too terrifying, I am not an opponent, let's wait until I grow up to take revenge......

"It seems to be a draw, but in fact, Gongsun Zan is defeated!" Guo Jia likes to drink and think about problems at the same time, which is said to help inspire him, "This battle seems to be a lose-lose battle, but Jizhou has a large number of people and rich money and food, Yuan Shao can quickly recover his strength, and will develop and grow, and then look at Gongsun Zan's Youzhou, located in the northern Xinjiang, sparsely populated, and nomadic tribes attack from time to time, it is difficult to recover from the trauma of war, plus this war, his white horse Yicong has countless casualties, shaking the basics, and I am afraid that he will no longer be able to compete with Yuan Shao in the future!" ”

"Xiao Lang, what do you think?" Cao Cao nodded frequently, very satisfied with Guo Jia's argument, but he also wanted to hear Xiao Yi's opinion, about the military!

"Gongsun Zan is finished"! Xiao Yi's answer was more direct and decisive, "White Horse Yicong is the soul of the Youzhou Legion, and has always been known as invincible in the world; This battle of Jiehe was broken backbone, the myth of invincibility was shattered, and the morale of the army was difficult to recover, and Gongsun Zan was not a person with a tough heart, victory is proud, defeat is discouraged, after a defeat, he may not have the courage to fight with Yuan Jun in the field in the future, once the iron hooves of the war horse can't gallop, how far can it be from destruction?

Gongsun Zhan will be besieged by the enemy army and die sooner or later, and the princes of the world will compete for hegemony, and this person can be removed! ”

"Fengxiao, no worries is a high opinion!" Cao Cao clapped his hands and applauded, and at the same time secretly crossed out Gongsun Zan's name in his heart, this person was no longer a threat, "Everyone, then what should we do next?" ”

"In the next step, the lord should continue to recruit talents, expand his strength, and then issue an order to seek talents!" Xun got up and replied respectfully, he was born in the scholar clan and attached great importance to etiquette and behavior, so he and Xun You were always well-behaved among the crowd, which was in stark contrast to the uninhibited Guo Jia!

One wears the imprint of the scholars on his body all the time, and the other despises the powerful in the form of indulgence, this is the difference between the scholars and the poor family, they can become friends and work together, but they will never have the same values and outlook on life!

And Xiao Yi is different from them, neither polite nor casual, but unique, always maintaining the iron-blooded nature of a soldier, with armor on his body and a sword in his hand!

The three of them also represent the three different forces under Cao Cao's command, the military, the scholars, the Hanmen, and stand on their feet, this structure is relatively stable in a short period of time, and they can make up for each other's shortcomings, but in the long run, it is difficult to say!

"Well, with a few gentlemen as examples, I believe that this 'Talent Seeking Order' will be a great success!" Saying that, Cao Cao looked at the little black dog under his feet with a confident face, well, he has grown up a lot, and he is more fierce!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Regardless of background, meritocracy!

Sure enough, when Cao Cao posted the order to seek talents again, no one dared to look at it with ridicule, Xun, Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Guo Jia's four strategists joined, which was the best billboard, and suddenly all parts of Yanzhou shook!

If there is a big chaos today, whether it is the gate valve of the scholar clan or the children of the poor family, there are many people who want to come out and do some work, and the reason why people have been wandering and watching is because there are two things they have not been able to determine:

First, is Cao Cao really thirsty for talent, what if he just pretends to be and wants to get a beautiful feather, and then he goes to run away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and is raised like a pig?

This kind of thing has existed since ancient times, and the four princes of the Warring States period are among the representative figures, raising thousands of guests in captivity, but how many are really used? Most of them are not mixed and wait for death in the end, this is also a way for the ruler to eliminate hidden dangers, instead of letting you go out to make trouble, it is better to spend some money and food to raise it, just raise pigs!

There is also that everyone is not very optimistic about Cao Cao's future, the main purpose of the investment is to one day be able to mix a dragon hero, glory and wealth, and a wife and a son, this is like buying stocks, you have to buy a potential stock, if you buy the wrong one, then the chicken and the egg are beating, and now the princes are competing for hegemony, the dragon and the snake are on the land, and no one knows which one will end up with the crown, so at this time people generally chose to wait and see!

Defection is risky, and you must be cautious when standing in line!

The arrival of Xun, Guo Jia and others has undoubtedly solved all these problems, the power of example is infinite, and even the people who have defected to the four major strategists are still bad? This is like buying stocks, the four stock masters have put their entire net worth on a potential stock, and those retail investors have not immediately followed the trend, and for a while, they are like clouds, not only the children of the poor family, but also the gate valve of the scholar family!

However, unlike the children of the Han family, the gate valve of the scholar clan often scatters the bet on several different targets, and each prince who has a chance to win is sent a few of his own children, so that no matter who wins or loses, he can ensure that his inheritance will not be broken, which is the secret of the gate valve of the scholar clan for thousands of years!

The most typical is the later Zhuge three brothers, the eldest brother Zhuge Jin is in Eastern Wu, the second brother Zhuge Liang is in Xishu, and the third Zhuge Jun is in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

A large number of talents have been harvested, and the armament cannot be relaxed, Cao Cao set up a special martial arts field outside the city of Dongjun to recruit warriors from all over the world who came to join the army, and the examiner in charge of the selection was Xiao Yi!

If Xun and others are role models for scribes, then Xiao Yi is now a model for warriors, because his rise is too legendary; From an unknown mountain village boy to a well-known peerless general, Xiao Yi used his own struggle to prove how a grassroots teenager rose in this troubled world.

People clearly remember that there was an eighteen-year-old young general in the Han Dynasty, and his name was Huo Quai!

"Good! Good! Good! ...... "Outside the city of Dongjun, in the martial arts field, Xiao Yi sat on the viewing seat, watching the samurai who came to apply for the recruitment participate in various selections, riding and archery, blades, and physical ......, and various projects were in full swing, and the shouts of applause were one after another!

Anyone who comes to sign up for the army will be hired, and the troops will be assigned according to your expertise:

If you are good at riding and shooting, you can be a ranger!

If you play well with the blade, you can be a battle-breaking soldier!

If you have good physical strength, you can be a shield soldier, or you can carry a load and escort grain and grass!

If you can't do any of these, it doesn't matter, you can also go to the fire to cook, the fire head soldier is also a very important type of troops, whether the food is good or not, this is directly related to the combat effectiveness of the army; In Xiao Yi's view, there is no useless person, it just depends on whether you arrange him in a suitable position.

General Han Xin, the more the merrier, that is a self-confidence, but also a realm!

"What's your name and where are you from?" After some selection, the winner who finally stood in front of Xiao Yi was a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man, skilled in arching and horse, and his appearance was dignified, but he was a little timid, standing in front of Xiao Yi with trembling legs, probably frightened by the reputation of 'peerless killing gods';

"Under the ban, see General Xiao!" The young man didn't dare to look directly into Xiao Yi's eyes, so he knelt down on one knee and saluted!

"Yu Ban? You are forbidden! Hearing this name, Xiao Yi couldn't help but be surprised, one of the 'five good generals' under Cao Cao in the future, known for his rigorous management of the army and his lack of chaos in the face of danger, but unfortunately he lacked a little blood, and finally fell into the stain of defeat and surrender, and failed to kill himself;

"Oh no, report to the general, someone outside has a fight with Captain Dian Wei?" Just as Xiao Yi was hesitating, a personal soldier ran over.

"What? Fight with Dian Wei? Who is so desperate! It's not such a way to die," hearing the news, Xiao Yi's first reaction was that someone was looking for death, "Tell me quickly, how is the other party's injury?" Dead or not? ”

"Back to the general, the other party is not injured, and now the two are still fighting, no one can separate them at all!"

"Rub! …… can fight with Dian Wei for a long time, regardless of victory or defeat, this is a peerless fierce general! Xiao Yisa ran outwards with his legs, such a talent, he must take it for his own use, "Go quickly, bring me the phoenix wings and gold boring, this general is going to persuade the fight!" ”

"No!" The soldiers looked at Xiao Yi, who had run away, and then looked at the phoenix wings and gold boring hanging on the weapon rack, he felt that his general didn't seem to be there to persuade him to fight, but to fight!

Outside the martial arts field, the crowd has formed a big circle, inside Dian Wei waved a pair of big iron halberds, and was fighting with a strong man holding a long knife, only to see the knife flashing, the halberd wind is mighty, the sound of weapons colliding is endless, the two have been fighting for dozens of rounds, still no matter the winner or loser, there is a cheer around it, even those soldiers who were originally responsible for maintaining order also ran over, watching it fascinated, such a competition, rare to see!

"Driver, do you know who that man with a knife is? Why did they fight? Xiao Yi relied on his brute strength to squeeze into the crowd, and hurriedly sounded to a pro-soldier who was watching.

"Boy, I don't know, let me tell you; This man is here to join the army, it is said that his name is Xu Chu, he is from Qian County, and he is really a good martial artist! The pro-soldier was looking at it intently, and he didn't notice that it was Xiao Yi standing behind him, his words were naturally unceremonious, and he continued without looking back, "That Xu Chu didn't line up according to the rules after he came, and he went around asking how to become a general, but he was annoyed by Captain Dian Wei who was on patrol, and the two sides fought!" ”

"I want to be a general, okay, let me try his skills!" Xiao Yi carried a boring in one hand, easily pushed away his own soldiers with the other, and rushed in.

"Why did you cut into the queue...... The soldier who was pushed away was suddenly furious, and it took him a lot of effort to grab this best viewing position, but when he saw that it was Xiao Yi who rushed in, he was suddenly stunned, "I actually called General Xiao just now...... Brat? Quack-quack! ”

Dian Wei was competing with Xu Chu at this time, the blades of the two were tightly framed together, their feet were firmly on the ground, each exerting all their strength, trying to overwhelm each other, the momentum was like two cows on the top frame, ordinary people really couldn't separate them!

"Huh! I'm coming! Xiao Yi first shouted to remind the two people in the field, and then exerted his divine power, waving the phoenix wings in his hand and smashing them into the blades of the two......

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the three blades collided in the air, like a scorched thunder, and the huge force shook the three people back at the same time, and the pace was scattered, but anyway, the two cows were finally pulled apart!

"Want to be a general? …… Hey! Beat me! ”
