Chapter 197: Liu Xin and Cao Cao's doubts
Liu Xin naturally couldn't let go of Tian Feng and the others, these three people were all among the best strategists in Henan, and what Liu Xin lacked was a strategist. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Besides, Liu Xin has now recruited Tian Feng and the others, and it will be much more convenient to attack Henan in the future.
Therefore, Liu Xin said to Yuan Shao: "Second brother, then it will be more troublesome for you, if you can, you will go to recruit Feng Ji for me tomorrow, if Feng Ji has any requirements, as long as I can meet him, you will first help me promise Feng Ji, in short, let Feng Ji feel our sincerity." ”
Yuan Shao nodded with a smile and said: "I understand, eldest brother, don't worry, although Feng Ji is tactful, but he doesn't ask for much, the only thing he wants may be a good official position, because his family is just an ordinary small family, and there has only been one county order in the family, so Feng Ji has always wanted to glorify his ancestors, big brother, as long as you promise to give him a county order first, plus my persuasion, he will definitely accept your solicitation." ”
Liu Xin nodded, it turns out that Feng Ji is still an official fan, but this is much easier to do, and it is convenient for him to recruit Feng Ji.
On the other side, Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shao introduced three talents to Liu Xin, and Cao Cao was naturally unwilling, not to mention that he really had a lot of talents who wanted to introduce him to Liu Xin.
However, there is a very serious problem in front of Cao Cao, the talents he wants to introduce are either his own brothers, or his cousins, in short, they are all Cao Cao's relatives.
Although Cao Cao knew that their abilities were very good, Cao Cao was a little afraid to introduce them to Liu Xin, because Cao Cao was afraid that he would be labeled as a cronyism in Liu Xin's heart.
What's more, these people are all their relatives, and they are all good at military affairs, either as generals or as commanders, and in the future, they will follow Liu Xin to Yizhou, and half of Yizhou's military will belong to the Cao family, and it is inevitable that they will be attacked for forming a party for personal gain, which arouses Liu Xin's suspicion.
In the darkness, Liu Xin vaguely saw a Cao Cao with a tangled face, and Liu Xin quickly understood what Cao Cao was struggling with.
Liu Xin now thinks about it carefully, the Cao family can now be a military general who can serve for himself, there are four or five famous figures alone, plus the two Xiahou brothers, as well as some unknown figures, Cao Cao can at least recommend more than ten military talents to himself.
But there is one thing that is very embarrassing, the talents recommended by Yuan Shao are all friends he has made in Henan; And the talents recommended by Cao Cao are all direct relatives in his family.
The Cao family's abilities are all good, and they are at least a county captain in Yizhou, if nothing else, half of the military power in Yizhou will be in the hands of the Cao family.
It's not a game, as long as you recruit generals and brush up on loyalty, there's no problem at all, and you don't have to think about any internal factions, power conflicts and other real issues.
Liu Xin already knew that among his subordinates, there were already three major factions, and now that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao joined, they would definitely become the fourth faction, and the fourth faction that absorbed Tian Feng and the generals of the Cao family would not need to say much about their strength.
The addition of the fourth faction may lead to the backlash of the most unstable faction under his command, that is, Zhang Su's opportunistic faction, although this person is loyal to Liu Xin for the sake of the family, but Liu Xin still knows a little about Zhang Su's ambition - Zhang Su wants to become the first person under Liu Xin.
And the fourth faction has a lot of talents, and Liu Xin doesn't want to bury these talents, let alone hide some talents, which will chill their hearts, so they must be given suitable official positions and rights.
At that time, it is basically certain that the power of the fourth faction can be said to be the largest of the four factions, although Liu Xin believes in Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's brotherhood towards him, but those generals of the Cao family will definitely try to elevate Cao Cao's status, in case one can't think of it, it will be fun to have a yellow robe...
In short, judging from the current situation, Liu Xin felt for the first time that the Cao family's gift package did not seem to be so easy to get its hands on, and there were a lot of things to consider.
This may also be a happy trouble, obviously able to persuade many famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, but there are scruples in my heart.
Liu Xin feels that his current self is like the male protagonist of the harem anime in the island country, facing many delicious girls, forcibly pretending to be x incompetent for the sake of the plot, so aggrieved.
However, Liu Xin suddenly thought of one thing, he is a legendary traverser, or the kind of man who brought a Chengdu crossing, and a future high-intelligence robot to escort himself, and the way of heaven covers him, why should he be so timid?
Isn't this a Cao family? After he unifies the Han Dynasty, there are still the guys of the Sima family waiting to test themselves, and the other chaotic families are more difficult to deal with one by one, and they can't subdue the entire Cao family now, how can they make the world return to their hearts in the future?
Liu Xin, who had figured it out, said to Cao Cao with a smile: "Third brother, I see that you look like you want to speak and stop, what are you thinking?" ”
Cao Cao saw Liu Xin open his mouth to ask himself, so he sighed and said: "Big brother, that's the case, I originally thought that the second brother recommended three scribes to you, then I will recommend a few generals to you, but there is one thing I am very entangled, that is, I have a very wide range of friends, and there are people of three religions and nine ranks, but compared with the three talents recommended by the second brother, the talents I can recommend to the eldest brother are basically my brothers... ”
Liu Xin smiled and said to Cao Cao seriously: "Juxian does not avoid relatives, as long as you have good conduct and sufficient ability, the third brother can recommend it to me, I will accept it all, third brother, you don't have to worry that others will attack you with this, eldest brother, I absolutely believe in you, if someone dares to slander you, I will definitely return your innocence and punish those who have long tongues." ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he said movingly: "Thank you for the trust of the eldest brother, the talents I recommend to the eldest brother, although they are all my relatives, although some of them are a little short-tempered, but their conduct can definitely be raised as filial piety, and their ability is comparable to mine, but it is a pity that the current situation of my family, you know, eldest brother, because of the death of my grandfather, the power of my family has long been less than in the past, except for me, the northern lieutenant of Luoyang, the other brothers can only be idle at home, but it is precisely because of this, My brothers have either practiced a good martial arts, or they are familiar with all kinds of military arts, in short, they can definitely enter the eyes of the big brother! ”
Liu Xin smiled and said happily: "That's very good, third brother, don't hang my appetite anymore, don't hurry up and introduce me." ”
