"Hahaha..." Xun Yu laughed, "My lord, please look, what is this?"
As he said that, Xun Yu pointed behind Li Yuguo. Li Yuguo saw that there were more than a dozen grain trucks. Li Yuguo was so shocked that he could hardly close his mouth. He said, "Here, where does this come from?"
"There are bandits and water bandits near Xinye, so I asked Zilong and Meng Qi to wipe out all the bandits around them while training. On the one hand, it will benefit the people, and on the other hand, it will compensate us for our food and grass. Moreover, the soldiers We train all the time and help with farming in our free time. After this, the wasteland will be reclaimed naturally and the people will have a place to plant. If the people use our farmland, it will all belong to them in the first year. Starting next year, each family will pay 2 The harvested grain will be used as rent." Xun Yu said.
Xu Shu, who was standing next to him, smiled and said: "Xun Yu's managerial talent is unmatched by me. You see, this Xinye City has only been managed in an orderly manner for only two months. Many people from outside have also moved in, because as soon as we didn't Squeeze the people and give them a place to stand. With such ability, I am afraid only Wen Ruo in the world can do it."
Xun Yu burst out laughing: "Yuanzhi is so grateful. You recruited talents in the towns and villages and found a group of talents who can be used for great purposes. Originally, the chief secretary and county magistrate of Xinye had already resigned, but now they have been recruited by you. Come back."
"Both each other!" Xu Shu said.
Xun Yu clasped his fists: "Don't dare!"
The two literati were sour here, which also made everyone laugh. The atmosphere was lively for a while, and people couldn't help but want to drink two glasses of wine.
Li Yuguo understood that he had made the right choice in hiring people. You must know that Cao Mengde's three great counselors, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and Xun Yu, the first two of them were military strategists, but Xun Yu was the only one who could be called a talented person. , Wang Zuozhicai is an idiom, which means having extraordinary ability to govern the country. Within the Cao Wei Group, the only person who can be evaluated as "Wang Zuozhicai" is Xun Yu, not counselors such as Guo Jia and Jia Xu.
The relationship between Xun Yu and Cao Mengde is not a simple relationship between monarch and minister. He is actually Cao Mengde's confidant. He can even be said to be Cao Mengde's partner. He is the general person in charge of the personnel and finance of the entire Cao Wei Group. His functions in the Cao Mengde Group are somewhat Similar to Liu Bang's Xiao He and Zhu Yuanzhang's Li Shanchang.
The reason why Xun Yu was called "The Talent of Wang Zuo" was because, as Cao Mengde's chief adviser, he made great contributions to Cao Mengde's unification of the north. Especially in terms of strategic planning, he made several suggestions that were extremely strategic. Because of his value, he was compared to Zhang Liang and called Xun Yu "my son Fang Ye". He also managed the country and allowed the war-torn Central Plains to recover quickly. This also explains why Cao Mengde suffered many defeats in the later period but did not waver. The fundamental reason is that the foundation laid by Xun Yu is as solid as concrete.
There is no shortage of military advisors under Li Huguo. It can even be said that Li Yuguo himself is not low in intelligence and can serve as a military advisor. At this time, with the help of Xu Shu, it is more than enough to defend a mere new field.
On the contrary, Liu Biao was thinking hard about how to weaken Cai Mao's military power. The reason why he did not immediately reprimand Cai was because Cai Mao now had the full right to support his own troops. It can be said that the 300,000 navy troops had the power to destroy the entire Jiangdong. .
However, Liu Bian now knew why he repeatedly wanted to conquer Jiangdong, but was stopped by Cai Mao. It turned out that this son had already had the intention of tyranny!
Just a few years ago, when Sun Jian was returning to Jiangdong with his troops, he was mistaken for an enemy by the guards, so he shot him with an arrow. At this time, Sun Ce became the lord of Jiangdong, but he had already developed a grudge against Liu Biao.
Of course, what Liu Biao didn't know was that even if history had not changed, Sun Jian's life was still taken by him. The historical node is the jade seal. The jade seal passed down to the country was obtained by Sun Jian. Then Yuan Shu wrote to Liu Biao saying that the jade seal was in the hands of Sun Jian, and Liu Biao They planned to ambush Sun Jian, and finally Sun Jian was shot and killed by an arrow.
After Sun Jian's death, his subordinates naturally belonged to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu and Liu Biao each occupied part of the territory. After Sun Jian died in battle, Sun Ce was eighteen years old. After burying his father, he crossed the river and stayed in Jiangdu. Father takes revenge.
Sun Ce's idea at the time was that his father failed in his work and was killed by Huang Zu. He wanted to go to Yuan Shu and asked him to hand over his father's old troops to me to lead, and then go to Danyang to join his uncle Wu Jing, and then collect scattered soldiers to serve as his father. revenge.
After discussing this idea with Zhang Hong, a famous official at the time, Zhang Hong approved it and gave him some advice. After receiving Zhang Hong's advice, Sun Ce was so excited that he immediately set off to Shouchun to find Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu saw that Sun Ce had He was outstanding, but he was unwilling to return to his old army directly, so he asked Sun Ce to join his uncle Wu Jing. At first, he did recruit hundreds of people, but later he almost lost his life when he was attacked.
Sun Ce is now under Yuan Shu's command. Li Yuguo in Xinye also knows this, but it is not suitable to fight Yuan Shu now, because Li Yuguo cannot protect himself. If he goes to Sun Ce now, he is probably asking for death. That’s all.
However, Yuan Shu, a powerful enemy, was also plotted by Liu Biao. Liu Biao asked Yuan Shu to help him and then eradicate Cai Mao head-on.
However, this idea was quickly canceled by himself. Yuan Shu's greed was well known to everyone in the world. When he raised troops to rebel against Dong, he was stingy with food and grass. If he was willing to send troops this time, it would be a drunkard's intention. , I am afraid it is intended for the nine counties of Jingxiang!
After thinking about it, Liu Biao had a splitting headache. However, at this moment, a guest suddenly came forward. The guest said: "My lord, there are guests outside. They say they are here to help my lord solve the difficult problem at hand."
"See you, see you, I'm worried!" Liu Biao said, but Liu Biao suddenly remembered that no one except Li Hugo knew what he was worried about. Could it be that Li Hugo was here
Thinking of this, he stopped the doorman: "Let him come in. Who is this man?"
"He calls himself Feng Chu. He is an ugly man in his thirties," the retainer said.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Biao's body trembled, and he laughed loudly: "It turns out to be Feng Chu! Please invite me quickly, Lao Zhang, please ask someone to prepare a banquet. I want to entertain my old friends with a feast!"
"Yes! Lord!"
Not long after, Pang Tong appeared with a wine gourd slung around his waist. This Pang Tong's appearance was indeed unflattering. He was ugly, with thick eyebrows and a raised nose, a dark face and short beard, a strange face, a fat body, and a tall and tall figure. Thick and very short, like a fourteen-year-old child.
But who makes him a talented person? Liu Biao said: "Shi Yuan, Shi Yuan! You came just in time!"
