The next day, in the hall of Sikong House.

After Cao Cao sent Zheng Xuan to the Xu capital and sent him to the arranged mansion to rest, he immediately gathered all the ministers to listen to Cao Zhang's recitation of the recruitment decree he had written.

"Since the Son of Heaven came to Xudu, a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, and a large number of talents are needed to revive the Han Dynasty. Today, Sikong issued a recruitment order to recruit talents from all over the world. ”

"This recruitment does not look at the background, but only the ability. Whether it is a famous family, a lonely and poor family, or a humble and poor family. ”

"Even if they are peddlers and pawns, or those whose morals are impaired, and who have been convicted and are on the run, as long as they have the talent of martial arts, can lead the troops to fight, or the strategy of governing the country and the country, and can solve the people's suffering, they can all enter the ranks!"

"After this order is issued, I hope that county officials from all over the country will be eclectic and recommend more."

"The wise men of the world can also self-recommend to vote, once the talent is verified, it will be reused!"

After Cao Zhang finished reading, he respectfully sent the recruitment order in his hand to Cao Cao, and then retreated to his position.

Cao Cao put the recruitment order on the table in front of him, and did not rush to make an evaluation, but turned his head to look at the people in the hall and asked, "Everyone, what do you think of the recruitment order written by Ziwen?" ”

Guo Jia stood up first and said, "Go back to Sikong." Ziwen Gongzi's recruitment order, with sincere words, shows the feeling of being eager to seek talents. ”

"If it is promulgated, it will definitely attract famous people from all over the world to vote, and even the wise men of Hebei, Jingzhou, and Jiangdong may be impressed."

Since Cao Zhang gave Guo Jia thirty-six strategies, he was very impressed by Cao Zhang's insight, vision, and strategy.

The recruitment of talents proposed in the recruitment order made Guo Jia see Cao Zhang's mind, so he did not hesitate to praise him.

"Oh, Bonghyo thinks he's pretty good?" Cao Cao nodded, turned his head to look at the others, "What do you think, say it boldly." ”

Cao Cao didn't hand over the recruitment order to himself, but asked Cao Zhang to complete it, and Cao Pi's heart was already very uncomfortable.

Guo Jia, as a military advisor, was the first to stand up and affirm Cao Zhang, which made Cao Pi even more unhappy, he hesitated for a moment, and walked out to give Cao Cao a deep salute.

"Father, Erchen thinks that there is something wrong with Ziwen's recruitment order."

Seeing Cao Pi standing up, the corners of Cao Zhang's mouth showed a fleeting smile.

Cao Pi will seize every opportunity to suppress himself for the position of the prince, so he stood up to find fault, which did not surprise Cao Zhang at all.

"Oh, what's wrong? Let's talk about it. Cao Cao asked.

"In the past 400 years, the Han Dynasty has adopted the probation system, and the local governor selects virtuous and talented people in the area under his jurisdiction for recommendation."

"As a Sikong, my father is the head of a hundred officials, representing the Han court."

"Ke Ziwen's recruitment order not only broke the system of probation and allowed self-recommendation, but also openly recruited peddlers and pawns, and even those who committed adultery, which is really against the etiquette law!"

"If you let the world know that my father is recruiting such unvirtuous people, wouldn't I want to make the world laugh and say that my father is unavailable?!"

Cao Pi talked eloquently, picking on the problem of the recruitment order, and buttoned Cao Zhang a big hat.

"Ziwen, did you hear your brother's question? Explain to him why these people are being recruited. Cao Cao kicked the ball directly to Cao Zhang.

"Yes." Cao Zhang saluted Cao Cao and turned to Cao Pi.

"I think heroes don't ask where they come from, and those who become great things don't necessarily have to be noble."

"Han Xin, the founding general of the Han Dynasty, was born poor, often sent people for food, and was even humiliated by his crotch."

"But Emperor Gaozu still believed in it and entrusted him with a heavy task, so he was ambushed on all sides, defeated Xiang Yu, and achieved the foundation of the Han Dynasty for 400 years."

"That Guan Yu was once exiled for murder and made a living by selling dates, but he was loved by his father, and he overcame public opinion, and even used warm wine to kill Huaxiong in front of Bishui Pass, and became famous in a battle!"

It can be seen that employing people in troubled times cannot be formal. Those who can defeat the enemy and govern the country should be reused! ”

"Brother Zihuan is well-informed, and he definitely won't have the same idea as Yuan Shu, who usurped Han and became self-reliant, right?"

Cao Zhang talked about the past and the present, and even brought out Cao Cao's appreciation of Guan Yu to refute it, and finally made an understatement, and directly classified Cao Pi and Yuan Shu as a type of person.

"This ......" Cao Pi was so choked that he couldn't speak.

"Well said, what I want to recruit is a talent who can defeat the enemy and stabilize the country, what background is it, what I have done in the past, it doesn't matter in the first place!" Cao Cao stood up and said loudly.

His remarks undoubtedly announced his recognition of the recruitment order written by Cao Zhang.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Cao Pi naturally didn't dare to find fault with the recruitment order.

But he was not willing to retreat like this, and put forward his ideas in a roundabout way, making a worried look: "Father, it is important to recruit talents, but now that we are surrounded by strong enemies, if we really recruit talents with such fanfare, will we recruit the spies of other forces into Xudu?" ”

Cao Cao chuckled, but did not respond to Cao Pi, turned his head to look at Cao Zhi to the side and asked, "Zijian, what do you think?" ”

Cao Zhi replied with a smile: "If my father doesn't recruit talents, won't the princes from all walks of life send spies?" ”

"My father invited Zheng Xuan to Xu Du from afar and re-ran the Yuedan Commentary, which is to tell the wise men of the world that he is the orthodox Han Dynasty, and the others are just chaotic ministers and thieves, and they will not affect my father to do anything at all."

Cao Cao nodded approvingly: "Well said! Zijian's words have gone to my heart! ”

"I just want to tell the world that Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Lu Bu are nothing in my eyes!"

Cao Zhang listened to Cao Cao's praise for Cao Zhi, and muttered secretly in his heart: Obviously, I wrote the recruitment order, and if you let him come out and say a few words, he will know best what you think?

It is said that you prefer Cao Zhi, and you really don't hide it at all!

Cao Zhang understood that it was not a wise move to compete with Cao Zhi for favor in person at this time, so he said with a smile: "Zijian still knows his father best, and he will ask you more for advice as a brother in the future." ”

Cao Zhi hurriedly said modestly: "Brother has won the award, your recruitment order is written magnificently, I should learn more from you!" ”

"Alright, you two don't flatter each other!" Cao Cao interrupted the two.

Then, he looked at Cao Pi coldly and said, "Do you hear, your two younger brothers can see much better than you, and they are better at being people than you, and they don't retreat." ”

"Yes, the son is stupid, thank you for your father's teachings!" Cao Pi hit the nail, and was even reprimanded by Cao Cao in person, only to feel that his face was dull, and he lowered his head and fell back to his original position.

Looking at Cao Pi's deflated expression, Cao Zhang's heart was secretly refreshed.

This time, he used a recruitment order to get Cao Cao's approval, and even suppressed Cao Pi in disguise, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Next, I have to perform well on the Yuedan review, strive to get Zheng Xuan's praise, and further enhance my reputation.

"In ten days, it will be the first day of the new year, and I will post the recruitment order, and say that I will hold a Yuedan review, which will be presided over by Zheng Xuan, so that those who have the heart to enter the office will come to participate."

"I will arrange the position according to the level of Zheng Xuan's comments, and this time I must hold a beautiful Yuedan review!" Cao Cao gave the order loudly.
