Chapter 31: The Ruthless Man Who Defeated Lu Bu
After listening to Cao Zhang's words, Xu Shu once again showed an approving look.
Cao Zhang accurately analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the world's leaders, and made corresponding judgments and coping strategies, which coincided with the development strategies in his mind.
In Xu Shu's heart, it is estimated that it will take at least twenty or even thirty years to complete the unification of the world.
Cao Zhang's ability to analyze thoroughly and be so calm and calm proves that he has already made careful calculations and is indeed a hero.
Since Childe has such self-confidence, then I will ask the third question below. Childe mentioned the move of recruiting talents, so I would like to ask Childe, how do you recruit talents, and how do you use people? Xu Shu asked a third question.
Cao Zhang listened to Xu Shu's question, and secretly admired in his heart, this person's talent is really good, and every question asked is to the point.
With the method and determination to calm down the troubled times, we must talk about how to recruit and employ people, and this is the key to determining victory or defeat.
"When it comes to recruiting and employing people, I have only one idea: that is, meritocracy, not looking at background, and not sticking to one pattern to reduce talents! To tell you the truth, the recruitment order issued by my father is exactly what I drafted, and that is my method of employing people! Cao Zhang gave his own response.
After listening to Cao Zhang's words, Xu Shu's eyes flashed with a fine light.
After Cao Zhang found Xu's mother for the first time, Xu's mother asked someone to bring him a letter, informing him of Cao Zhang's idea of wanting to conquer him, and telling Xu Shu not to come back.
Subsequently, he heard that Cao Cao re-conducted the Yuedan Review, issued a recruitment order to recruit talents, and recruited talents without sticking to one pattern.
Although Xu Shu is filial, he also hopes to see what kind of talents can appear on the re-run Yuedan Commentary, so he went to Xu Du in disguise and watched the Yuedan Commentary throughout the process.
Cao Zhang took out two first-class poems in a row, which shocked Xu Shu and was full of admiration for Cao Zhang's talent.
Subsequently, Xu Shu heard that the wise men who had been praised on the Yuedan evaluation had all been given corresponding positions, and Cao Cao fulfilled his promise to recruit talents, so he was even more moved.
After all, whether it is practicing martial arts or studying, Xu Shu also hopes to have the opportunity to join the master of the Ming Dynasty and make a great career with useful talents.
Although Cao Cao had bad deeds in the past, his status as the Son of Heaven and Cao Zhang's talent still gave Xu Shu the idea of serving his life.
So, Xu Shu left Xudu and returned to Changshe to ask Cao Zhang what he had done to his mother.
Xu's mother said that Cao Zhang has always treated her politely, except for coming to buy vegetables on time, he has never made excessive requests, and he is a humble gentleman.
After Xu Shu heard this, he also truthfully told his mother what he had seen and heard before and after the Yuedan review, saying that Cao Zhang was different from the brutal Cao Cao in his mother's cognition, and he planned to test him personally before making a decision.
Mother Xu listened to Xu Shu's story, combined with her own impression of Cao Zhang, agreed with Xu Shu's idea, and let him decide for himself whether to serve Cao Zhang.
This is the scene where Xu Shu sells vegetables for his mother, waiting for Cao Zhang to appear, and asks questions in person.
Now through a series of questions, Cao Zhang's vision, courage, insight, employment strategy and many other aspects have reached the height of Xu Shu's convincing, this person is the master in his heart.
Xu Shu did not hesitate at all, and directly bowed down to Cao Zhang: "The son has lofty knowledge and great ambitions. More polite and virtuous corporal, condescending to disdain, so that Xu Shu is grateful, and now he is willing to worship under the command of Gongzi and help Gongzi achieve great causes! β
Seeing Xu Shu kneeling down to himself and confessing to the Lord, Cao Zhang's heart was overjoyed.
Although he has an understanding of the trend of history and the knowledge of later generations, the future conquest of the world and the management of the country will definitely require the talents of this period to carry out.
He has a famous general like Xu Huang, and now he has subdued a top strategist like Xu Shu, which is definitely like a tiger with wings, and it is a solid step for him to compete for the position of the prince in the future, and even dominate the world.
Cao Zhang walked quickly to Xu Shu and stretched out his hand to support him: "Yuan Zhi, please get up quickly." β
Cao Zhang helped Xu Shu up, and asked a little uneasily: "Yuan Zhi, your decision today, my aunt and her old man will not have an opinion, right?" β
Xu Shu hurriedly told Cao Zhang about his agreement with his mother, asking him not to worry, and Cao Zhang was relieved.
"Yuan Zhi, after all, my aunt is old, and it is inconvenient to live in the countryside with my brother, and you can't do your filial piety at any time."
"It's better to do this, I'll arrange a place for you to live in Xudu City, you can take your aunt and brother Ling to live together, so that you can take care of it at any time, what do you think?"
Cao Zhang's arrangement is not only to eliminate Xu Shu's concerns, but also to prevent others from beating Xu's mother in the future.
"Childe is loved, Xu Shu is grateful, everything is arranged by Childe." Xu Shu agreed, and then said, "But I hope that Gongzi can give me a few days to report back to the house." β
"That's natural, if you want to settle down at home, and then hire a carriage and horse to take your aunt to Xudu, it will definitely take time." Cao Zhang nodded in understanding.
Afterwards, he said to Xiahou Ba beside him: "Zhongquan, you take some money to Yuan Zhi, he will arrange everything, and it will definitely require a lot of expenditure." β
Xiahou Ba promised to take out the money bag and handed it to Xu Shu: "Take it." β
Xu Shu hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself: "The son misunderstood, Xu Shu didn't want time to settle down at home, but wanted to invite an old friend to serve the son together, as a meeting gift to serve the son." β
Hearing that Xu Shu was going to recommend someone for himself, Cao Zhang was overjoyed, this was a buy-one-get-one-free, unexpected surprise.
"Who is Yuan Zhi going to recommend to me?" Cao Zhang asked.
Xu Shu said: "Hui Gongzi, this person is a friend I met when I was a ranger, he lives in Chengshi County, Jiyin County, and his surname is Li Mingjin. β
Li Jin? People from Chengshi County?
Cao Zhang searched for this name in the memory bank, suddenly woke up, and asked, "Yuan Zhi, this person is the one who led Xiangyong to defeat Lu Bu a few years ago?!" β
"Yes, that's the man." Xu Shu hurriedly responded.
After Cao Zhang got Xu Shu's affirmative answer, an excited smile appeared on his face.
This Li Jin is a very mysterious figure in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
In the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, Emperor Wu Ji" and "Zizhi Tongjian", there are records about him leading Xiangyong to defeat LΓΌ Bu.
But other than that, he disappeared, and it is not known whether he died in the rebellion or died of illness, and in any case there is no record of it.
Now Xu Shu wants to recommend him to himself, this is a great gift, after all, this is a ruthless man who once defeated Lu Bu!
If you can get such a ruthless person to assist, then your strength will be further strengthened, and you will definitely have a better performance in the hunting competition in a few days.
Cao Zhang motioned to his entourage to lead a horse to Xu Shu: "This is very good, then Lao Yuanzhi will go and invite Brother Li to come." As for my aunt and brother, I will arrange for someone to properly take them to Xudu for placement! β
Xu Shu saw Cao Zhang's eagerness to seek talent, and he didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately said: "Since this is the case, I will set off immediately, and ask the son to wait for good news in Xudu!" β
After Xu Shu finished speaking, he turned over his horse and galloped away into the distance.
Cao Zhang looked at Xu Shu who was far away, and a relieved smile appeared on his face......
