The selection of talents by the Chu army can be described as a high fight, which caused a lot of sensation among the vassal states for a while. In just one month, many talented people rushed to Chu State to apply.

"Father, Brother Chu's trick is really wonderful, so many talented people have flowed into the Chu State, laying a good foundation for the Chu State to dominate the world in the future. ”

"It is indeed gratifying that all people have returned to my Chu State!"

"But I don't understand, this is obviously a suggestion made by Brother Chu, why did you let Da Sima Xiong Tong and Zuo Sima Nangong Qing preside over the selection of talents?"

"Xin'er, recruiting talents is the fundamental national policy of the Chu State, and this matter must be brought forward by the imperial court to show the country's emphasis on talents."

"Brother Chu also represents the imperial court and represents you. ”

"Xin'er, such a major matter must be implemented by important ministers such as Uncle Wang and Nangong Qing, and Mo Chu's main responsibility now is to guard the Hanyu Pass. ”

"Father, you still don't believe Brother Chu!"

"Xin'er, everything still has to focus on the overall situation. ”

Nangong Xin could only retreat silently.

After a month of screening, Da Sima Xiongtong and Nangong Qing finally recruited thirty Magi.

"Great King, how do you plan to arrange these Magi?" Nangong Qing asked.

"Since the purpose of this recruitment is to prepare for Gongyue in the future, let them go to Hanyu Pass to report to General Mo Chu. ”

"Great King, is it a waste to let so many wise men gather at Hanyu Pass? The Qin and Wei states in the northwest are staring at us with fierce eyes. ”

Xiong Tong slowed down and continued, "The Northwest Battalion is short of soldiers and major generals, and the old minister has the courage to suggest that a part of it go to the Northwest Battalion for training." ”

"What Uncle Wang said is also reasonable, but the suggestion of recruiting wise men was made by General Mo, and it should be up to him to decide who to recruit. ”

"Well, then it's up to my king to decide. ”

"Nangong Aiqing, you are responsible for bringing these people to Hanyu Pass. ”

Nangong Qing received the order to thank him, and after the preparations were completed, he began to set off. After several days of trekking, Nangong Qing led everyone to Hanyu Pass, and Mo Chu hurriedly led the generals to the city gate to greet them.

Mo Chu asked Hu Jun to arrange for this capable man to live first, and he and Nangong Qing returned to the General's Mansion.

"Master, you must be tired these days. ”

"It is our duty as courtiers to serve the king. ”

"Dare to ask Master, is there any of these people named Wu Qi?"

"Wu Qi, it seems that there is such a person. How do you know him?" Nangong Qing asked suspiciously.

"There really is this person, I want to see him as soon as possible!"

"Chu'er, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"

"Master, you forget, I am a person from 2,000 years later, I know history, and it will be this Wu Qi who will destroy the Yue Kingdom in the future. ”

"I see, the purpose of your national audition is to find this person?"

"Not bad!"

"But I still don't quite understand, you are the general of the Chu State, even if you can destroy the Yue State in the future, it is your credit, how did you become Wu Qi to destroy the Yue. ”

"Master, it doesn't matter whose merit is, I just want the result. Since there is such a person in history, Wu Qi naturally has a reason for his existence, and I came to him to ask him to help me destroy Yue. ”

"Then if it is really Wu Qi's destruction of the Yue Kingdom, where are you going in the future, you must not destroy your future!"

"Thank you Master for teaching, I myself am not that important, as long as someone can destroy the Yue Kingdom and bring a peaceful and happy life to the people of the Yue Kingdom, it is enough. ”

"Chu'er, as a teacher, I really didn't mistake you, you are indeed different from mortals. ”

"Master, is this Wu Qi among these thirty?"

"Not here!"

"Why? I listen to you, you have indeed seen this man. ”

"You're right, I've seen him. But this Wu Qi has a bad calendar, he is still Wu Zhi's brother, Wu Zhi is treason on the funeral festival, according to the law of Chu Wu Qi will be punished, but I still forgave him and let him go. ”

"Could it be that such a great talent has just missed out. ”

"Chu'er, according to the law, Wu Qi can't be used. ”

"Master, Wu Zhifang made a mistake, it doesn't mean that Wu Qi is wrong, we can still give him a chance. ”

"I don't know how to choose talents, but I've asked him to leave the Chu State, and he shouldn't dare to come back. Nangong Qing paused and then asked, "How do you plan to settle these thirty people?"

"Master, I heard that these thirty people were chosen by Da Sima and you?"

"That's right. ”

"How many people did Master choose?"

"There are twelve people I chose, and the rest are Xiong Tong's, Xiong Tong originally wanted to keep these people in his northwest camp, but the king didn't allow it, let me bring them all. ”

"Then I will ask the twelve people selected by the master, and the rest will be returned to the great Sima. ”

"I'm afraid this will not work, we must not go against the will of God. ”

"Master, don't worry, the king will understand what I mean. ”

"Do you want to stabilize Xiong Tong first?"

"Yes, Da Sima, we can't afford to provoke him for the time being, and I don't want to be an enemy of him, so let's give him a face first and stabilize him. ”

"What you said is reasonable, maybe the tiger talisman is in his hand, if he is forced to be in a hurry, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"That's what I meant. Mo Chu said.

In fact, there is another layer of meaning, Mo Chu didn't dare to say that he proposed the selection strategy, but the king of Chu did not let him participate, indicating that the king of Chu did not trust him 100%.

Now the king of Chu has put all the selected people in Hanyu Pass, although these people were selected by the two Simas, but they are all under his own control.

The king of Chu was suspicious of Da Sima and wanted to restrain him because Xiong Tong was powerful. If his southeast camp surpasses the northwest camp, then the object of King Chu's suspicion will be Mo Chu himself.

Nangong Qing has been an official for many years, and he knows that he is powerful, so he is not forcing Mo Chu. The next day, he took the eighteen people selected by Xiong Tongxuan back to Yingdu to resume his life.

When the king of Chu learned that Mo Chu had returned to the person selected by the Great Sima, he was surprised and delighted in his heart, this Mo Chu was indeed extraordinary, and what he did was not new.

Although the King of Chu already knew what Mo Chu meant, and it was indeed beneficial and harmless for him to do so, he was also too arrogant, wasn't this a blatant disobedience to the king's orders?

The king of Chu immediately issued an edict and asked Da Sima to take the people he chose to the northwest camp.

Da Sima was very surprised by this sudden change, this Mo Chu was really brave enough to dare to disobey the king's order, but he still had to thank this fool, if it weren't for him, the person he had chosen with great difficulty would have become someone else's person, and his efforts were finally not in vain.

Da Sima Xiongtong had just entered the northwest camp with his front foot, and the back foot of the holy decree had already followed. Due to the addition of several wise men to the northwest battalion, Hu Jun, the deputy general of the southeast battalion, is now recruited to train, and Hu Jun will assist the big Sima to control the northwest battalion.

Da Sima knelt down to thank him, but he kept scolding in his heart, this King of Chu was really good enough, he first gave himself a piece of candy, and then immediately took it as a slap in the head, and let Hu Jun contain him.

Mo Chu was also taken aback when he received the holy decree, he really didn't expect the King of Chu to have such a move, transferring Hu Jun was equivalent to cutting off one of his arms, and at the same time giving himself a dismount.

The King of Chu is really powerful. His transfer of the Hu army weakened his own strength, and also effectively prevented the formation of a faction in the military camp and caused the imperial court to get out of control. For Da Sima Xiongtong, he has one more constraint out of thin air, and he can no longer fully control the Northwest Battalion. The king of Chu can be described as killing three birds with one stone, and he played a wonderful move. These emperors are really not simple, they are all monkey spirits, and the emperor's heart is as deep as the sea, which is really worthy of the name.

When Hu Jun received the order, he felt a little lost, but he still came to the General's Mansion and Mo Chu to resign.

"General, what's going on, why was I transferred to the Northwest Battalion?"

"This is the king's decree, and I don't know. ”

"I've been in Hanyu Pass for eight years, and I really can't bear to be a brother like you!"

"I can't bear to let a talent like you leave!"

Mo Chu paused and continued, "Brother Hu, it's a good thing that you go to the Northwest Camp." On the surface, it is flat, but in fact it is up. The Northwest Battalion was under the direct control of Da Sima, but he had always been in charge of Yingdu. When you arrive at the Northwest Camp, you are in charge of everything. Congratulations to Brother Hu!"

"General, you know, I'm just a rough man, and I'm not very interested in power. I still like to follow you, to be with you, I'm in a good mood!"

"Brother Hu, I'm not the same, with you, I have a lot of peace of mind. But the king's order is hard to disobey, no matter where you are, you will always be my big brother!"

Hu Jun clasped Mo Chu's hand, "That's right, no matter where we are in the future, we will always be brothers." ”

Mo Chu held a feast in the military camp and saw off Hu Jun as the commander of the northwest battalion. Hu Jun was also grateful to this brother, and the brothers were drunk. The next day, Hu Jun left Hanyu Pass.
