Guan Yu can have today's achievements and his personal efforts are naturally inseparable, but also rely on this group of talents, such as Zhang Liao, Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Li Yan, Zhou Cang, etc., if there is no such a group of people willing to work for him, it is difficult for Guan Yu to rise so quickly, it is the key to stand out among the princes, of course, so many talents can play a role, which fully reflects Guan Yu's correct concept of employing people, Guan Yu really made the best use of his talents, made the best use of his talents, used only talents, and only acted as talents. Put useful talents in the right positions to be able to play a full role, on the contrary, not only delay the talent but also delay the cause, so whether the talent can play its due role is to consider a decision-maker, especially a leader's high quality standard, in the familiar military field of personnel selection Guan Yu is quite accurate, after all, this is the field he is familiar with, he knows what kind of general to put in what position, but for this little understanding of the government affairs and economic field, he does know limited.

What kind of talent can be qualified for such a heavy task, both loyal to himself and know how to develop the economy and revitalize Xiliang, Guan Yu repeatedly pondered about filtering these people under him over and over again, and he also asked for the opinions of some people, especially Ma Teng and others, Ma Teng as a warlord with a military career for so many years, he also has a lot of experience in this area, he is also an old man who is also familiar with Xiliang affairs, and knows this place very well, Guan Yu invited Ma Teng to chat about some people and things in Xiliang while drinking, of course, there is an important purpose in this, For what purpose? That is, I want to tap the local talents in Xiliang through Ma Teng, that is, to dig out the local grassroots talents, which also belongs to a form of promoting talents, of course, this also belongs to the eclectic reduction of talents, Guan Yu does not want capable talents to bury the world, he also wants to find some grassroots talents and hopes that such talents can stand out. Why do you have such a complex? This may have something to do with Guan Yu's background, because he used to be a grassroots or even a grassroots dick, he used to be poor and lived a hard life, it is not easy to have today, as a person born in cloth, he knows that it is not easy to get ahead, so now he is trying his best to promote this talent growth mechanism, and the purpose is only one, so that those who have never met with talents can have a bright future, so that those who are clothed can have a chance to advance.

But by talking to Ma Teng. Guan Yu's purpose has not been achieved, and now he urgently needs civil officials to take care of Xiliang, but Xiliang, who is a gathering of military generals, is still a short board for civil officials, which is also what Xiliang is currently in short supply, so Guan Yu did not find a suitable candidate here, since there is no local talent to be selected, Guan Yu decided to let these three people take on this important task after careful consideration and careful consideration, which three people? One is the poisoner Jia Xu; the second is the general Zhang Liao; the third is to worship the sworn brother Zhang Ji; the fourth is also Guan Yu's later additional candidate Yang Qiu; These four people were all finally determined by Guan Yu after several thoughts and repeated deliberations.

Why did you finalize these four people? This is about Yu considerations, let's talk about the poison Jia Xu first. Jia Xu was left in Xiliang by Guan Yu this time, Jia Xu is not an ordinary character, he can be called resourceful and resourceful! He has repeatedly offered strange tricks for Cao Cao, Jia Xu is good at poisoning tricks, that is, his tactics are very vicious, which is very famous in the Three Kingdoms and even history, so he is also known as the title of "poisoner", although the strategy is vicious, but Jia Xu is still very thorough about some people and things, he is also a "junjie" who knows the times, and is good at changing roles. Let's just say that he understands it, many times he likes to protect himself. Because of this, his longevity is also the longest among all the strategists, but in any case, Jia Xu is a talent, and he is a promising talent.

Why did you choose Jia Xu to stay in Xiliang? This is also a profound consideration of Yu Yu, firstly, Jia Xu is a native of Xiliang was born in Xiliang, and he is more familiar with the customs and affairs of Xiliang, because he is a local who is familiar with local affairs, and he is naturally handy in doing things. easy to carry out the work; Second, as a strategist, Jia Xu is flexible and strategic, not only good at giving advice, but also advocating the recuperation of the country and the people, which is the most suitable for regional construction, and if he is allowed to govern, it will naturally greatly promote social progress; Third, as a newcomer, Jia Xu has just taken refuge in Guan Yu not long ago. Of course, Jia Xu has just debuted, put him in such a position to experience, for the shaping of his ability is very beneficial, this is also to give talents an opportunity to grow and exercise, on paper to finally feel shallow to know this matter to do, only in reality continuous exercise experience to take on some experience and experience to take on the responsibility, put Jia Xu in such a position shows that Guan Yu attaches great importance to him, in the future Guan Yu hopes that he can provoke the beam to take on the heavy responsibility, based on the above considerations Guan Yu chose Jia Xu.

As for leaving the general Zhang Liao, this is also after Guan Yu's careful consideration, Zhang Liao as a battlefield general is very good at strategy, this is a rare talent with both civil and military skills, it can be said that he is brave and strategic, both extraordinary force and good at offensive and defensive defense, and Zhang Liao has been active in the area of Bingzhou, which is similar to the situation in Xiliang, especially the natural geography, Zhang Liao is suitable for such an environment, Zhang Liao often deals with foreign forces when merging states, and is still very good at affairs between ethnic groups. Leave Zhang Liao in Xiliang Guan Yu rest assured, at least Zhang Liao can take on the defense of Xiliang, the surrounding ethnic minorities dare not easily offend, there is another important reason that Zhang Liao has won Guan Yu's trust, since Zhang Liao defected to himself, he followed his saddle before the horse, birth and death can be said to be inseparable, loyalty, the long-tested Zhang Liao naturally became Guan Yu's cronies, put him here, once there is a change, Zhang Liao can be temporarily disposed of, so as not to betray himself.

The third character in Xiliang Zhang Ji, is his former sworn brother, Zhang Yi has served as a county guard in Feng Yi for many years, Feng Yi's governance is in good order, various undertakings are thriving, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, from this point of view, Zhang is very talented in governance, good at developing the local economy, and has a set of experience in agricultural development and social stability, Let Zhang Ji come to Xiliang to work is to fancy him, Zhang Ji as his brother is naturally loyal, he is also a loyal person, this makes Guan Yu also very relieved, of course, for Lu He as a three-auxiliary minister to work in Xiliang. This also has Guan Yu's consideration, a leader has been in one place for a long time, has been in power for a long time, has more and more protégés, and gradually expands his power, which is prone to problems and contradictions. Therefore, for such cadres, it is necessary to communicate frequently and rotate positions, which is conducive to the growth of cadres and avoids the breeding of corruption.

As for why Yang Qiu was added, this also has Guan Yu's consideration, Yang Qiu has been in Xiliang for many years, and he is more familiar with the situation in Xiliang, it can be said that he is familiar with Xiliang and knows all aspects of the situation. Master all aspects of Xiliang's customs, social conditions, natural geography, of course, Yang Qiu also has a certain prestige in Xiliang, after all, he has accumulated a lot of contacts in Xiliang for so many years, and Yang Qiu is also very shrewd, so that Yang Qiu can continue to stay in Xiliang is to let him assist the above three people in their work and coordinate all aspects of affairs. Yang Qiu can coordinate and solve it in time, and in this sense, he, Yang Qiu, is assisting the above three people. Yang Qiu is not to be underestimated, he is a little ambitious guy, so it is absolutely necessary to limit his power and prevent him from changing in Xiliang, Guan Yu has already considered this, and Guan Yu is still more wary of Yang Qiu, if he stays in Xiliang, he will be a deputy. can't play the role of coach, this is something Guan Yu has long considered.

After overall consideration, Guan Yu chose the above four people to stay in Xiliang, and at the moment, only Zhang Liao and Yang Qiu were in Xiliang, while Jia Xu and Zhang Jishang were in Chang'an, Guan Yu made this decision and soon held an expanded meeting in Xiliang. He summoned all the county guards of Xiliang to Liangzhou, held this enlarged meeting in Liangzhou Prefecture Guan Yu, and announced on the spot: In view of the vast and sparsely populated Xiliang land, complex affairs, and very important geographical location, Xiliang has been heavily affected by war, and the scenery is no longer for the comprehensive revitalization of Xiliang, restart the Silk Road, develop agricultural economy and prosperous commerce, promote the comprehensive development of society, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. and report to the imperial court for approval under His Majesty the Son of Heaven; Jia Xu is the history of the Western Liang Thorn; Zhang Liao was the general of Zhonglang, and the general of Zhenxi was in charge of the defense of Xiliang; Yang Qiuwei Zhonglang will assist the above-mentioned people in their work; This is a temporary adjustment to the personnel of Xiliang, and the official appointment will not be until the holy decree comes down, but the counties of Xiliang will not be wrong to implement this decision for the time being!

This decision has just been announced, the county guards have bowed their heads to the ground, sworn to obey this arrangement decision, so Xiliang has completely returned to Guan Yu's hands, Guan Yu has effectively realized the jurisdiction of Xiliang, Zhang Liao heard that this decision was really a little surprised, before Guan Yu did not greet him at all and suddenly came to such a decision, Zhang Liao couldn't figure out why so many generals only let him stay in Xiliang, so he found Guan Yu to state the reason, Zhang Liao said Guan Yu said: "Why did the lord leave me in Xiliang alone?" I can't figure it out! ”

Guan Yu saw that Zhang Liao was puzzled, so he explained the reason for leaving to Zhang Liao in 1510, and then advised: "Wenyuan, you must understand my intentions and handle Xiliang's affairs well with your heart!" I have great hope for you! ”

"General rest assured! Wen Yuan will live up to the general's intentions! Do a good job in Xiliang and hand in a satisfactory answer to the general! Zhang Liao immediately promised.

Guan Yu patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder and then instructed: "You are mainly responsible for the defense of Xiliang, and the military affairs are your main focus, strive to do a good job in the defense of the border, control the military power of the counties, and of course cooperate with Zhang Ji's work, you are a leading group, you must strive to do a good job of unity and common struggle, and do not deviate from morality!" ”

"General rest assured, Wen Yuan will remember the general's teachings and go all out to cooperate with everyone's work!" Zhang Liao continued.

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Liao with expectant eyes and nodded

But said that Yang Qiu was very uncomfortable when he heard this decision, Yang Qiu was a fine person, he understood Guan Yu's intentions, and let himself be a Zhonglang general is just a nominal role, if he wants military power or military power, he has real power and no real power, and he also clearly stated that he is a layman to assist the above three people in their work, and the above three top bosses want to serve the three of them by themselves, which is greatly unexpected by Yang Qiu, Yang Qiu surrendered to Guan Yu as Ma Teng's subordinate, he never expected to be treated like this, What kind of treatment is it, is it just a cold reception, under Ma Teng, he is also a character, and there are many soldiers under him who can be commanded, this time it is good to make a Zhonglang general know what is lacking, and the military power is under Zhang Liao's control. Government affairs are controlled by Zhang, and supervision is held by Jia Xu, who is an errand runner for others, who comes when they are called to do things for others, and seems to participate in everything but has no actual power. What can you mix up?

Yang Qiu was a little puzzled and found the former master Ma Teng, and came to Ma Teng's residence, Yang Qiu poured these depressed and bitter water in his heart with him one by one, Ma Teng brushed his beard after hearing it, and Yang Qiu continued: "Lord! We just defected to Guan Yu, he is decentralized! ”

As soon as Yang Qiu said this, Ma Teng woke up unconsciously: "What do you mean?" ”

"He arranged for me to continue in Xiliang, but the lord made another arrangement to be stationed in Luoyang, and you and I will part ways this time! We were originally a force, but now we have become two scattered forces, this is not decentralization, what is it? It's hard to say what kind of treatment the lord will be when he goes to Luoyang. He Guan Yu came to this first, it seems that things are not good! Yang Qiu then analyzed.

Yang Qiu's point was like waking up a person in a dream, Ma Teng's heart couldn't help but tremble, Yang Qiu said this thing suddenly provoked his sensitive nerves, and the originally seemingly inconspicuous personnel appointment suddenly became complicated, in fact, Ma Teng was also surprised by Yang Qiu's stay, but he didn't expect things to be so complicated, Yang Qiu, as his deputy general, has been following him to offer more good ideas, and he is really a little unaccustomed to transferring him away from his side at once. Now Yang Qiu came to himself again to complain, it seems that he must come forward to find Guan Yu. His own people must be retained, Ma Teng thought of this Yang Qiu and said: "You don't have to be nervous, I'll go find Guan Yu!" ”

Yang Qiu, as Ma Teng's deputy general, naturally had to work harder to talk to Guan Yu, first, there was a gap in the status of the two; The second is that he is not familiar with Guan Yu, and it is embarrassing to rush to the door, so he came to his master Ma Teng and asked Ma Teng to come forward to coordinate the matter. After all, as his master, Ma Teng can still talk to Guan Yu, Ma Teng came to Guan Yu's mansion to find Guan Yu and tell Guan Yu about Yang Qiu, Guan Yu said after hearing this: "Lord Ma pities his subordinates? ”

"Yang Qiu has followed me for many years, and I still hope that he can continue to assist me! I've gotten used to it for so many years! It's not too much for the old man to ask for such a request! Ma Teng continued.

Guan Yu paced and said, "How can a husband do things for personal gain? Since Master Ma sincerely submits to the imperial court, he should obey the orders of the imperial court, how can he abolish the country's social affairs because of his own selfishness? Yang Qiu naturally has a reason to stay in Xiliang, you took the initiative to find me for this matter. In fact, even if you don't look for me, I also want to give you an explanation, it is true that Yang Qiu is your subordinate general, who has followed you before and after the saddle for so many years, is it normal for a person to be a lover! However, if Xiliang wants to develop, and the country wants to prosper, it needs a reasonable flow of talents. At present, the overall situation is stable and needs to develop talents, and Xiliang bears the brunt, Yang Qiu is the most suitable candidate, he is familiar with Xiliang affairs and has experience in leading troops to fight, so that he, Xiliangtong, continues to stay in Xiliang to play his strengths. Do I give him a low official position? Zhonglang will be the title of the fourth grade, and give him the corresponding Yulu, will he succumb to him? Master Ma is not me criticizing you and me Guan Yu for employing people on the basis of meritocracy, what kind of people are used in what position This is not a joke, does he Yang Qiu think this position is low? He's a lieutenant general, what position can I arrange for him? Does he have what it takes to be in charge? Is it fitting to take the Lord and take him? Ma Da kept saying that he was obedient to the imperial court, how could I see your sincerity if you were still calculating in this matter? You don't trust me, how can I trust you? ”

"This 、、、 this 、、、 General Guan don't be angry, the old man has always been emotional, this sudden change is somewhat emotional, don't mind, as you said, how can you abolish the public with private interests? Since we have talked about this matter, everyone's hearts will be open, and the old man will obey your decision, which can be regarded as the sincerity of our cooperation, and it should be regarded as a cornerstone of mutual trust! I'll persuade Yang Qiu again! Ma Teng compromised after Guan Yu's reprimand.

After hearing this, Guan Yu continued: "You let him do a good job, I, Guan Yu, will not treat him badly, and I will not succumb to any talent under me, but then again, if you don't do a good job, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

Guan Yu's domineering words suddenly calmed Ma Teng, and now Ma Teng realized that his master was so domineering, and he was no longer the "number one", now he also has a top boss, and he has become a "slave" who is subordinate to others, and he has to obey in the face of Guan Yu's strength

Ma Teng came out of Guan Yu's mansion and returned to his residence, Yang Qiu was already looking forward to it in his residence, and when Ma Teng came back, Yang Qiu was simply overjoyed, thinking that this matter would be successful as long as his master came out, but after Ma Teng handed Guan Yu's words to him, Yang Qiu was stunned all of a sudden, Guan Yu didn't even give face to his master, hey! I can't help it! How dare people not bow their heads under the eaves! Since the facts can't be changed, there is only obedience, but there is one point that Yang Qiu is still more satisfied with, which one? That is, although Guan Yu did not give himself real power, but his level has gone up, so he is also a positive fourth grade! This is the official of the imperial court! The treatment of the four products is not worried materially! And Guan Yu also promised that there would be a possibility of promotion in the future, so let's make do with it! In this way, Yang Qiu pondered and prepared to continue to stay in Xiliang. (To be continued......)
