"Three strategies in one? How to say"

Cai Yong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked:

"You have three strategies in one, I think it's good when I hear it, but I don't know how to combine three strategies."

Zhuge Jue smiled and said:

"Then I'll tell you about it. You see, this first strategy is to be the best policy. The second strategy to conquer the Central Plains in the west is actually to take offense instead of defense, and to be aggressive. Finally, the third strategy is to go ahead. Then why not merge together, that is, first send troops to the counties north of Fenggao, and establish a defensive line here to block the enemy in the north. After the poor work, he gradually retreated to Fenggao, and then held on to Fenggao. At the same time, send another capable team, there is no need for many people, first find out the situation in the east, and then look at the back. ”

Cai Yong patted his thigh, and his joy was revealed, and he knew that it was right to find this Zhuge Jue. This person is really not ordinary and rotten, but really talented.

Then Cai Yong could still sit still, and immediately said goodbye to Hu Muban and Zhuge Jue, and went to find Zhang Chong.

This will Zhang Chong is still discussing with He Kui, seeing Cai Yong coming in, Zhang Chong hurriedly welcomed him to take a seat, to Cai Yong, Zhang Chong has always been respectful, this person has a high name, and can still be happy with the people; Knowing the world, but still able to be pure. With such a senior, no matter how much respect Zhang Chong has, it is not too much.

In addition to his own noble conduct, Cai Yong's talent is also the best in the world, and even He Kui said that Cai Shi's intellectual attainments in the entire dynasty of nearly two hundred years, that is, Ban Gu, Zhang Heng, and Cui Ying can be compared. said that Cai Yong is a rare talent in a century.

Although the words were too big, Zhang Chong felt that it was not an exaggeration at all. As far as he came into contact, this Weng was not familiar with the military art of war, and the rest, such as inscriptions, dictionaries, historical records, etc., was not proficient; He is also good at painting, proficient in music and rhythm, and has the astronomical calendar, yin and yang and weft techniques, etc., all of which are knowledgeable. He is a real generalist, a great talent.

And his knowledge is not shallow, but every item has reached the highest in this world. For example, music, once he went to the county guard's mansion, he heard this old man playing the piano. Although Zhang Chong doesn't know music, after all, he doesn't know how many songs he listened to in later generations, and he can still grasp whether it sounds good or not.

But for Zhang Chong, what he values most about Cai Yong is not his articles and music, but his familiarity with the personnel of this dynasty. This old man is proficient in the allusions of this dynasty, how powerful is this.

This is what Du Man said to Zhang Chong in private, Du Man has been staying in Mount Tai for half a year, and at that time he heard Cai Yong enter the curtain and wrote a letter, saying that Cai Yong had participated in the compilation of the national history "Han Ji".

This is the first national historical undertaking of this dynasty. Since Emperor Ming Ban Gu and others were ordered to edit the "Shizu Benji" in Lantai, more than 100 years later, four addendums, even the compilation location was moved to Nangong Dongguan. In this generation, it was added by Cai Yong and the famous Confucian Ma Riyan, Yang Biao, Lu Zhi, and Han Shuo at that time. It can be said that there are few figures in this generation who understand the history of this dynasty better than Cai Yong.

This talent is the most important thing for Zhang Chong, although he is very good at studying history, but the history of this world only stays at some people and things with a slightly higher popularity, and in this regard it is certainly not as good as Cai Yonglai, who lived in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty. With him, Zhang Chong has a clearer understanding of the upper-class people in the world, their social relationships, personalities, and family networks, and truly knows themselves and their opponents.

In addition, Cai Yong himself is a member of this upper class, he is an in-law with the Yuan family of Runan, a world friend with the Cui family of Jizhou, a comrade with the Yang family of Hongnong, and a close relationship with anti-eunuchs such as Huangfu Gui and Chen Qiu. It can be said that if the news of Cai Yong's joining the Taishan Army spreads all over the world, I believe that there will undoubtedly be a big storm in the family circle.

Therefore, for a noble person like Cai Yong, the best arrangement is to engage in learning instead of being a high-ranking guard for him. But who made Zhang Chong now poor and short-minded, thin and long-haired, can only let Cai Yong take on multiple positions. is not only his senior staff, but also Feng Gao Taishou, or his senior lecturer in the military academy, squeezing this old man to the point that there is not a drop left, and this old man is still smiling all day long.

Of course, Cai Yong is not stupid, but for people who really want to do things, they are not afraid of many things, but they are afraid that they will not be able to do things. Since Xiaohuan, the scholar doctor has not wanted to do things, but he can't. You can't be Kuang; The law and discipline of the court are not correct; The greed of the county is not to be asked. The entire imperial court is rowing down the slope all the way to the end, and no one can reverse it.

But fortunately, he Cai Yong is assisting a male lord this time, a new force that is rising and erupting more and more, and there is still salvation in this world. Looking at the lord of the anti-Han forces in front of him, Cai Yong remembered a young filial piety he met when he was still in Kyoto, Cao Cao.

Although this gentleman is from a eunuch family, he is unwilling to be dirty, although people often scold him behind his back for being ugly, but he can be calm and calm, and his ambition will not change.

He saw that this gentleman was extraordinary, and that high-spirited and seizing the day was rarely seen in the circles of Kyoto. So Cai Yong helped Cao Cao a lot at that time. At that time, as a famous person in the Kyoto circle, he was already a leader of Shilin, and he once commented on Cao Cao's extraordinary.

Cao Cao really needed such a leader to wash away his identity as a eunuch at that time, so he always remembered Cai Yong's help, and later Cai Yong's years in Kyoto, the two had a close relationship. It's a pity that this gentleman is already a Han Chen, and he Cai Yong has become a Han thief.

The Han and the thief do not stand together, and the friendship between Guan Bao can only be broken from this point.

Here, after Zhang Chong respectfully welcomed Cai Yong into his seat, the old man impatiently said that he had a plan to offer, and he really wanted to assist Zhang Chong to reach the mountains and rivers again.

Then he asked Zhuge to find a plan, and Zhuge Jue's three strategies were combined to tell Zhang Chong. Who knew that before he finished speaking, Zhang Chong and He Kui looked at each other and smiled, and listened to Zhang Chong:

"It really coincided. I discussed with Shulong for an afternoon, and I also think that these three strategies can be parallel, just like you think. As for Jiaodong, we plan to let it go first, and we plan to discuss it with Beihai and Donglai first, and then select the backbone to open up a base in Jiaodong. ”

Cai Yong didn't understand these militaristic things, he just wanted to help, and now that Zhang Chong thought about it very clearly, he didn't say more, but talked about it:

"Qu Kui, since I joined the army, I have not made an inch, and I am already ashamed of being in a high position. But I knew that there was no military talent, so I knew more talent and wanted to recommend it to Qu Kui. ”

Zhang Chong was in high spirits and immediately became excited, he loved talents the most, so he hurriedly asked Cai Yong to come.

Cai Yong was stunned at first, and he was embarrassed to say:

"It's my two students, I wrote to them a few days ago to come to Mount Tai, I believe they are already on the way. My two students, one named Lu Cui and the other named Ruan Yu, both have some talents, and they can take the post of secretary of the army. ”

Lu Cui, Ruan Yu?

I've never heard of either. However, since he is a student of Cai Laoweng, he can still be called talented, so it is estimated that there is something really there.

Then Zhang Chong continued to look at Cai Yong expectantly, and the old man squeaked:

"No, that's all."

In fact, since Cai Yong joined the Taishan Army, he didn't think about recommending some talents he thought had talent and ability to Zuo Sheji to Zhang Chong, for example, he recommended Shen Tupan in the same county back then, but he was a good person, and he didn't even do Han officials, how could he come to be a thief. and the Bian Rang he recommended back then, the same is true, he is from the Chen Liubian clan, he has a bright future in the Han Court, and he will not come to be a thief. There were only a few students he brought with him in Chen Liu's hometown back then, such as Lu Cui and Ruan Yu. The two of them treated him like a father, and they didn't ask what they were doing, so they agreed.

In fact, Zhang Chong also knew that it was not that Cai Yong had no one with him, but that these people looked down on him as a thief. However, he did not give up hope for the talents recruited from the upper echelons, and focused on cultivating and attracting some frustrated people by himself.

This Han court has been peaceful for a long time, and there are many people who have read poetry and books but have no future, and these people have no chance in the Han court, so they will naturally want to find a way to survive in other places. He naturally recruited a group of such rural village Confucians during this time. Among them, one is called Gao Sheng, and the other is called Yan Zhuang, both of whom are a bit biased and can also be used.

For example, this Gao Sheng, he is a native of Pingyuan County, Gao is a big family in Banxian County, his ancestor is a doctor who passed on "Lu Shi" during the Guangwu period, it is said that this Gao Sheng is a member of the family of scholars, and should not have joined the thief army like the Taishan Army, but he has become infamous in the clan because of the theft of his sister-in-law, and later knew that the Taishan thieves rose again, and laid down Fenggao, so he heard the wind.

He has always been conceited of his talent in the world, and now letting him bury himself in the countryside is undoubtedly letting him die. He is not willing to live a life of gnawing grass all day long, but the original path of progress has been completely blocked for him because of his moral problems, in other words, he has no chance to rise except for the chaos in the world.

So he came to join the Taishan Army, a force outside the Han court, especially when Zhang Chong posted an order to seek merit again after he defeated Fenggao, that sentence: "Only talent can be used by me." It also made Gao Sheng consciously find a soulmate.

But for Gao Sheng, it's useless to just shout slogans, he still has to look at the strength of the Taishan Army, this is unbelievable, he Gao Sheng can be regarded as traveling all over the river, which way he doesn't know? But none of them were strong and strong in Taishan's army, and they really dared to rebel.

At that time, Gao Sheng forged a diagram to find Zhang Chong, revealing that Zhang Chong was the destiny of heaven, and he was noble to help him achieve his great cause. Zhang Chong didn't believe in the diagram at all, but he knew that this thing would work. Moreover, what he values is the intelligence of Gao Sheng, who was born in a big family, dares to do things, and has the energy to travel through lakes and seas.

And this other person is called Yan Zhuang, he is a native of Beihai Opera County, he was a guest of the Gongsun clan in this county, because he was framed and lived in Langya, and later heard Zhang Chong's order to seek talent, so he took his brother Yan Gang to Fenggao and defected to the Taishan Army. His brother is good at riding, and he has been introduced into the cavalry to be a cavalry general, and he himself is good at numbers, and he was originally to make accounts for the Sun clan of the sea merchants, and after defecting, he naturally became one of the main books of the Zhang Chong shogunate. He originally learned the number chips used in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and later came to Taishan Army to learn the ninety-nine multiplication table, and he was even more powerful.

So, there are talented people in this countryside. As long as you build this nest well, there will naturally be a phoenix to inhabit it.
