XLIV. Xun You's recommendation

The tavern of the Han Dynasty is generally two floors, the upper is the wing, the lower is the hall, Xun You is obviously a frequent visitor here, as soon as the two enter the tavern, they are led by the small maid to the wing room on the second floor, obviously the material civilization in the Han Dynasty is still not very developed, there is only a low and wide square table in the wing, and after greeting Xun You and Cao Zhang, sit down face to face, the small guy will go downstairs to get wine and food.

Xun You smiled: "The third prince is young, he shouldn't drink it, right?" ”

Cao Zhang had never drunk in his previous life, let alone here, so he smiled and said, "I have never drunk." ”

Xun You smiled and said: "This time, the lord has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and you don't dare to slack off, so I am looking for the third prince to come to discuss." ”

Cao Zhang smiled: "I wish Mr. Wen a high view." ”

Xun You said: "You is a literati, and the people who supervise the transportation of grain and grass go down to the soldiers and go up to the Simas of other departments, all of them are soldiers and civilians, reckless and reckless, but I am afraid that there will be many difficulties in moderation." When the main public commissar took this important responsibility, he asked him to let the third prince go with him, and he could suppress the sergeant with the power of the third prince. ”

Cao Zhang's face was full of doubts when he heard this: "Sir, I have never brought soldiers and horses, and I am only seven years old this year, to put it bluntly, Huangkou Xiao'er, even if the sergeant is afraid of my father, my child's speech is not much better than that of the gentleman who has received the general's order." ”

Xun You said with a smile: "The third prince doesn't need to directly pass on the orders to the people's husbands and soldiers, as long as he sends orders to the generals." ”

Cao Zhangqi said: "Since the order can be solved by passing the order to the generals, what is the difference between the sermon and my summons?" ”

Xun You said with a smile: "It's very different, the third prince is not only the son of the lord, but also the favor of the saint, if the third prince is valued, it will be easier to get the favor of the lord and the saint, so the general is naturally more willing to be controlled by the third prince." ”

Cao Zhang listened to it and suddenly realized in his heart, this is the way of officialdom at all, now Emperor Xian summons him every day, Cao Cao lets him participate in every meeting, all the generals of Cao Jun see it, and he Cao Zhang has now become the best choice for them to approach Emperor Xian and Cao Cao.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhang smiled and said: "That's easy, let's just summon those other Sima of the grain transport sergeant directly!" ”

Xun You smiled slightly, and said: "The third prince doesn't know, this time the grain transportation needs 20,000 militiamen, 400 people are counted as one, and there are 50 Sima from other departments alone, if all of them are summoned to show goodwill, I am afraid that there will not be so many official positions for them in the future!" ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said: "Yes, I was negligent, in the past, when Mr. Xun Yu and I went to Anyi to meet the Son of Heaven, the two hundred tiger guards used grain carts and horses to bring four hundred militiamen to transport grain, although this time it was said that in order to help the court hundred officials transported more, but it was also a drop in the bucket, this time my father raised tens of thousands of troops to crusade against Yang Feng, that is to say, we have to supply tens of thousands of soldiers with grain and grass, and the militia used is naturally very large, so we have to find a master general for us to control the army and complete the task as soon as possible." Cao Zhang recalled the situation when he went to Anyi to see Emperor Xian, and so on, and naturally understood the difficulty of transporting grain.

Xun You nodded and smiled when he heard Cao Zhang's words: "That's right, as long as we find a competent general to control the grain sergeant, we can save a lot of trouble, you and the third prince are the same, they don't know anything about the way of marching, in addition to the difficulties of the order, the marching route also needs to be formulated by experienced people, Xu Du to Wuyang has to pass through Yingshui, Yeshui, Shui, Wushui four rivers, and there are many Qiu Lin, but not like the Heluo Plain, which can only be transported by people or livestock, and cannot use grain carts. ”

And so much trouble? No wonder Cao Cao values Li Dian so much, Li Dian is often responsible for transporting military rations when the army fights, thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and one general is hard to find, this sentence is really reasonable.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhang asked, "Then is there a candidate for Mr.?" ”

Xun You smiled and said: "When you came to Xudu, you began to understand the merits and talents of the officials under the lord's subordinates. ”

"Oh? Who? Cao Zhang's curiosity was raised, and at the same time he admired Xun You's efficiency, he had only been here for two months, and he knew all Cao Cao's subordinates? I know those heavyweights myself, and I am deeply impressed by them because of history.

Xun You replied: "This person is the commander of Xudu County. ”

"Xudu County Order?" Cao Chang has never paid attention to the county-level cadres under Cao Cao, although this person is now the county commander of the capital, but the military power of Xu Du should be Yingchuan Taishou Xiahou Yuan's moderation, and the county orders in various places can only be in charge of the local militia, as for the county order of Xu Du, maybe there is not even a local militia, the palace has Cao Anmin's guards, the city is Cao Cao's main force, and the county army under Xiahou Yuan, how can the militia be needed?

Therefore, as the county magistrate of Xudu, he should be more depressed than the county magistrate of other places.

"Exactly." Xun You said: "I have learned about this person's past achievements, this person is a native of Changyi, Shanyang, Yanzhou, eighteen years old as the county governor post, the main picket of lawbreakers, the generation of the government to govern the disorder, the means of violence, the county officials are afraid, and later moved to Gaoping County Order, because the county governor Zhang Bao took bribes to cover up the lawbreakers, full of favor to arrest this person tortured to death, so he abandoned the official, and then in the early peace three years to take refuge in the lord, open up for the engagement, after the lord occupied Yingchuan, he served as the Xuchang County Commander. ”

After hearing about this person's deeds, Cao Zhang said: "Yes, this person is really a cool official, just enough to restrain the militia transporting grain, and he is the county commander in Xuchang, so he naturally knows the terrain of Yingchuan better. "I have a preliminary understanding of Xun You's vision of people and the way of doing things.

This Xun Yu's fellow clan belongs to the pragmatic school, and pays attention to the facts, just look at the fact that he recommended the full favor can be seen, he is judging a person's talent from the past deeds, there is a well-founded basis, if he leads troops to fight in the future, he also needs people like him to select talents for himself.

Xun You continued: "By using the full pet to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, the third prince and you can save a lot of trouble, and if the third prince invites him, this person will definitely do his best." ”

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "Mr. is powerful, so that we only need to use the merits of one person, and he is the commander of Xudu County, Xudu is now the capital, and there are many constraints, which is not conducive to his performance, maybe he doesn't need to be promoted, as long as he is transferred to another county, he will be grateful!" ”

Xun You sighed when he heard this: "Wen Ruo and You mentioned the third son, saying that the third son has an incisive and unique vision, no less than an adult, and he didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that Wen Ruo is modest, how can the third son's vision be no less than that of an adult?" Much stronger than many officials! ”

Cao Zhang smiled: "Mr. is too famous, how about we go to find a full pet now?" ”

Xun You said with a smile: "At this time, Manzhong should still be on duty in the county government, and I will wait until I can have dinner before going to the mansion to visit." ”

Cao Zhang smiled: "Just according to what Mr. said." ”
