In Shu County, Gu Yong, as the host, hosted a banquet to entertain Guo Yi. The local celebrities are also very face-saving and come to the meeting. Guo Yi asked Zhou Yu to be present by name and asked him to sit down with him.

Today is different from the past, Guo Yi has gained a firm foothold in Yangzhou, and his political achievements are also quite beautiful, and he is loved by the people. Zhou Yu's attitude towards him was naturally a lot more polite.

Although he has the intention to recruit Zhou Yu, he has no way to start. First, he is still young, and he can be dismissed as lightly as Zhu Huan. Second, Guo Yi has no experience in recruiting civilian officials, and he is not good at buying people's hearts.

After three rounds of drinking, Guo Yi and Zhou Yu didn't drink much, one didn't like wine, and the other was young.

Guo Yi knocked on the side and asked, "Zhou Yu, you are a native of Yangzhou, in your opinion, who can help me succeed?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said without a trace: "Under the general's account, Lord Fan has Xiao He's legacy, and generals such as Pang De and Long Yi all have the courage of Long and Yingbu, so why should the general worry about not succeeding in big things?" ”

Guo Yi laughed and said, "If they hear someone boasting like this, I'm afraid they will be so happy that they won't be able to sleep for a few days." Although they are all outstanding generals, if they want to calm the world and achieve great things like Qi Huan and Zhou Gong, the more talents, the better. I don't like to lead soldiers, only to have fun. ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he pointed to the bureaucrats present and said: "Wu Zhisi has many talents, Zhongshan Academy has countless heroes, if the general has a heart, why worry about no one available?" ”

"Huh." Seeing that he didn't leak, Guo Yi changed his strategy and asked, "Then according to you, how can I make talents from all over the world roll in?" ”

Zhou Yu paused, as if hesitating to answer the question. After a while, he said seriously: "Since ancient times, the king chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king. If the general is thirsty for talent, there will naturally be heroes to vote. There are countless heroes in the world, and those who can use their masters are only three or four people in one generation, and the rest may not be useful even if they have talents. Moreover, all those who have great ambitions have firm beliefs, and if they are not in agreement with the master, it is not that the monarch and the minister are suspicious of each other and have mistaken the big thing. ”

Guo Yi listened silently, and suddenly became enlightened! I am indeed quite tolerant of talents, but only my own people know. The so-called "every man's goodness is only known by the women around him." "He didn't experience anything that would win the world's credibility.

Although I want to recruit talents, I always promote them from within or train them myself. There is only one Pound under the tent who belongs to the general, and he is not convincing enough. Didn't show a thirsty attitude!

Moreover, there are only three types of people needed to fight the world: internal affairs talents, strategic talents, and command talents. Guo Yi's account has Fan Xin in internal affairs, and there is a dragoon battalion under his command. There is only one "strategic talent" left, but this position is the one he needs the least because he is a traverser, and a strategist of Wang Yi's level alone is enough.

So, in the eyes of outsiders, Guo Yi may be a good boss, but his "company" no longer has a position!

In the last one, although Guo Yi opened and closed his mouth and said "Duke Zhou, Duke Qi Huan", everyone saw that the political line he actually displayed was "deviant", a line that he had never seen before, and he did not know how effective it was. When you get to Guo Yi's account, there is a chance that your ideas don't match, so why do you come to him?

After thinking about it, except for the first one, aren't the other three the reasons why Zhuge Liang chose Liu Bei instead of Cao Cao?

Zhou Yu, as a figure between Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Liang, his requirements for the monarch will inevitably not be lower than Zhuge Liang's!

No matter who comes to work under Guo Yi, their status is definitely impossible to be higher than Fan Xin. Xun Yu and Zhou Yu's refusal is only afraid that they have this reason.

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." Guo Yi laughed, since you can't recruit it, let's see you on the battlefield in the future! Now that they occupy the place of Yangzhou, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce may only have to take Jingzhou. I just don't know if these two people will get the opportunity to become famous.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and stopped talking. When he first saw Guo Yi, he did have the idea of defecting, but now it is all gone. Fan Xin's internal affairs ability is far inferior to Zhou Yu. What he is good at is leading troops to fight, and this talent basically has no room for use here in Guo Yi.

The crusade against Shanyue is indeed a trivial matter, but the strategic level shown by Guo Yi, and the ability of the generals shown by Long Yi, Pang De and others are enough to compete in the Central Plains and claim the king. The addition of Zhou Yu will not bring about a transformation, at best, it will only add a reliable commander when dividing the troops to fight.

"It's a pity, what I want to do is the governor of the capital, and among the generals, I am the first!" Zhou Yu sighed secretly in his heart, a sadness in his heart for no reason, originally he wanted to wait for the chaos in the world, assist Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong, and then plot the world. But now Yangzhou is in the hands of Guo Yi, and there will be another three or five years, I am afraid that it will be merged with Jingzhou and Xuzhou.

There is not much time and opportunity left for Sun Ce! It's just that they are still young and can't go out of the mountain at all!

"If I had been born ten years earlier...... Alas!!! ”

Remorse is not a thing, you have to find a way. After drinking another glass of wine, Zhou Yu's eyes swept over the bureaucrats present one by one, and he suddenly had a plan in his heart. An excited smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"If I can get Guo Yi to leave Yangzhou, I can find a way to make him never come back...... Hey, there's something to be done! ”

Seeing Zhou Yu's smile, Guo Yi shivered for no reason, and always felt as if he was being targeted by the king of Hades, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: It's better to kill him!

But then this idea was cut off, Zhou Yu was only fourteen years old, and it would be at least another three years before he had the opportunity to show his strength. At that time, Lao Tzu had already settled Jingzhou and unified the south!

"Gu Yong!" Guo Yi picked up the wine glass, walked up to Gu Yong, shook his hand affectionately and said, "After I return to Jianjian, I will start arranging the matter of governing Zhenze." If it succeeds, Wu County will be a thousand acres of fertile land and abundant grains in the future! I thought, the name Zhenze is not very auspicious, it is better to change the name to Taihu Lake. 'too', pole also. It means the most abundant in the world! ”

"Thank you, sir!" Gu Yong hurriedly thanked him. He sees the treatment effect of Chaohu Lake, and he can have a bumper harvest next year. If Taihu Lake can be like this, then Wu County will really be rich in the world in the future!

Guo Yi said with a smile: "Then for the name change, I have to ask Lord Gu to convince my hometown fathers." ”

"Definitely, definitely!" This kind of good thing, Gu Yong can't wait to have anything to do with him. Being able to benefit the elders in his hometown is something that can be written on the family tree!

Guo Yi waved his hand, "Okay, let's drink today's wine here." Tomorrow I will leave for Yuzhang to see Peng Lize's situation. Stand down. ”

"No." The guests retreated one after another, and Guo Yi also returned to the room. Push away the map and look at your own territory with great ambition. Who said that Yangzhou can't win the world if it's tired? Lao Tzu just wants to come out of the south to fight the world.
