Cao Bao has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, although he does not have the wisdom of Hua Fei, but he can be regarded as experienced in the world. With his many years of experience in the official and field.

Cao Bao knew that if he wanted to take revenge on Hua Fei, who was gaining momentum, he would not be qualified to rely on his own green onion. When it comes to marching and fighting, he thinks that he is not, and he can use 10,000 male soldiers to fight against Hua Fei's opponent of 350,000 Cao troops.

Let's talk about fighting, he is not the opponent of Tai Shi Ci who is capable of defeating 10,000 people. What's more, it is said that under this damn Hua Fei, there are several more characters who can fight like Tai Shici.

However, the enemy of the enemy is his own ally. 'Borrowing a knife to kill' is a trick that he Cao Bao is very proficient in. It is said that Hua Fei not only provoked Cao Cao, but also provoked Yuan Shu, who was dominant in Huainan.

Thinking of Hua Fei's many enemies, Cao Bao grinned and wanted to laugh, but because he pulled the injury, he said, "Hiss!" He gasped. Covering his unbearable painful face, he thought to himself with a crazy look in his eyes, why not start with this?

Just when Cao Bao was furious, Hua Fei, as a person of later generations, had also learned from the experience of his predecessors and came up with a way to solve the problem of talent shortage.

Hua Fei held a slightly cool Buddha bead in his hand, listening to the cold wind outside the house 'whirring'. He looked back, rubbed his chin with his seven-character fingers, and frowned in deep thought under the lonely lamp.

"Zijing, I have thought of a plan that may solve this urgent need."

Lu Su, who was at a loss for what to do, heard this, put down his seven-character finger, and stared at Hua Fei with bright eyes. Xiang Hua Fei leaned forward and asked urgently, "Oh? I wonder what the lord has planned? ”

Hua Fei smiled slightly, and said loudly: "I was caught in Weibin by Brown Huaiyu, and my sister-in-law was blind. ”

Lu Su was slightly stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he looked at Hua Fei with his eyes, and asked hesitantly: "The meaning of the lord's words is that he refers to Jiang Taigong and Chen Ping. But I don't know what the purpose is? ”

Hua Fei nodded, and said in his heart: "At this time, Cao Cao has not yet issued his 'Talent Seeking Order', of course you don't know that this is the content of the 'Talent Seeking Order'. ”

Thinking about it, he slowly said to Lu Su: "I don't mean anything else, I just sigh at the high talent in my previous life, and there are times when I am down." I don't think that's the case now. ”

Saying that, he lowered his head and paced under the lamp for a while before continuing: "The so-called, everyone picks up the flame high. I intend to issue an order to seek merit in the whole army, and order everyone to act on the basis of merit. ”

When Lu Su heard this, his eyes widened in shock. He has a very high intelligence, and naturally knows that the so-called 'meritocracy' refers to the method of selecting talents based only on talent, regardless of whether there is virtue or not.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said loudly: "Lord! This must not be done, and if we act in this way, our army will certainly be able to obtain talents. But it will inevitably lead to many people who have no virtue to join the ranks of our army! ”

Hua Fei smiled and waved his hand: "Zijing, don't worry. Of course, I know that virtue is very important, but no one is perfect. ”

As he spoke, he paused and said, "Besides, the way of employing people is just like marching, and it is all used according to the amount of its master. What's more, above their heads, there is a three-foot sword of the law hanging high, and they can't make much waves. ”

When Lu Su heard this, he was speechless for a while. Hua Fei said: "Of course, this is just a plan, and I am also going to set up 'recruitment halls' all over the thirty-seven counties." ”

Lu Su said in surprise when he heard this: "Zhaoxian Pavilion? ”

Hua Fei nodded and said, "Not bad!" Regardless of their origin and gender, people from all over the world can enter the 'Recruitment Hall' and try to show their talents. If they are favored by our army, they can be hired by our army. ”

Lu Su thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "The lord is smart! If you act like this, why worry about people not coming from all directions. ”

Hua Fei smiled and did not answer. Thoughts: "What is clever? I'm just stealing, Cao Cao and Sun Quan's practice. If I tell you that I am still going to carry out the imperial examination system in the future, I will not be stunned? ”

He knew that the imperial examination system was not yet the time to be vigorously implemented. At this time, the books were all in the hands of the scholars, and it was difficult for this ordinary person to read if it were not for chance.

The approach of Cao Cao and Sun Quan was a strategy implemented in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the so-called suitable is the best. Therefore, he used these two methods to recruit talents.

Just as he was thinking to himself, he heard Lu Su ask, "What are the plans of the lord in the future?" ”

Hua Fei knew that Lu Su had great strategic vision, so he asked with a smile: "Zijing!" What's the best to think? ”

Lu Su stretched out his seven-character fingers and rubbed his chin, and said in a deep voice: "From Su's point of view, after the lord stabilizes Runan, it is the best policy to develop towards the south with all his might. ”

I thought that he would speak to future generations and be famous all over the world as Hua Fei of the strategy of 'Longzhong vs'. Hearing this, he looked at Lu Suqi and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Lu Su paced with his hands and said: "Lord, at the moment, Runan, the east and west sides are allies, and this is not advisable. And in the north, after the Yellow Turban and Dong Zhuo Rebellion, even the glorious Luoyang has been turned into ashes. ”

Saying that, he looked at the north and said: "If we wait for the further development to the north, we will definitely fall into the quagmire of food crisis again, and we will not be able to extricate ourselves." In this way, it will inevitably seriously hinder the speed of development of our army. Such an approach is undoubtedly extremely unwise. ”

Hua Fei nodded and exclaimed: "What Zijing said is extremely true. ”

Lu Su smiled and said, "In this way, our army will have to go south." Huainan, known as the throat of Zhongzhou and the barrier of the south of the Yangtze River in ancient times, has always been an extremely wealthy place. ”

As he spoke, he paused slightly and glanced at Hua Fei. He continued: "Although it is based on Yuan Shu at the moment, Yuan Shu and his people do not repair the law, military discipline is scattered, and they only blindly exploit the people. Both the people and the soldiers under his command are miserable. ”

Hua Fei knew that what Lu Su was talking about was the original meaning of the Tao in the 'Art of War'. Therefore, he said with great approval: "Yes! The people's hearts are different, the soldiers are not attached, and Yuan Highway will be defeated sooner or later. ”

Lu Su continued: "If the lord can take advantage of this situation and lead the army of benevolence and righteousness to the south to take Huainan. It can not only relieve the suffering of the people in Huainan, but also use this as a basis to further march towards Jiangdong and take Jiangdong in chaos in one fell swoop. Thus, laying the foundation for hegemony in the world. ”

As soon as Lu Su's strategy came out, Hua Fei suddenly had a sense of brightness in front of him. The six counties of Jiangdong are bordered by the sea in the east, the Yangtze River in the north, and the land is large and rich, which is the foundation of Sun Quan to resist the strong Wei later.

However, now even Sun Ce, who opened the century-old foundation of Jiangdong, is still 'working' with Yuan Shu. Why can't he occupy it first, but give him to Sun Ce to develop?

Thinking of this, Hua Fei's mind couldn't help but come alive. He thought to himself, if he could occupy Huainan and Jiangdong one step earlier, then maybe even Sun Ce could be taken over as a junior brother.

If even Sun Ce is subdued, then can Zhou Yu, who is his righteous brother, still be able to escape? There are also Sun Quan, Lü Meng, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, Zhang Hong......

Thinking of this, Hua Fei's eyes couldn't help but flash the faces of one famous and brave general after another, and his mouth opened and drooled.

Fortunately, he was a man with great self-control, and after only a moment's loss of consciousness, he quickly calmed down. Lewdness is obscenity, he knows the truth that you have to eat one bite at a time.

He turned the slightly cool Buddha beads, thinking to himself in the faint sandalwood fragrance, the so-called can't fight an unprepared battle! If you want to take Huainan, you must first make adequate preparations.

At the moment, he has a lot of preparations, and selecting talents to enrich the talent pool is just one of them. In addition, there is also the collection of intelligence, the preparation of grain and grass, and the creation of equipment......

Therefore, he and Lu Su, who was no less talented than Zhou Yu, gradually planned various things to attack Huainan and take Jiangdong one by one under the lonely lamp.
