Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 660: State and County Talent

Suddenly, the world was in turmoil, and many people heard about it and thought that there would be a war between the two emperors. In particular, Yujin in Yanzhou and Xu Huang in Jizhou are directly on the front line against Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. They have already deployed troops. Chen Chongbing is on the borders of Yan and Xu, as well as the borders of Hebei and Qing. The meaning of coercion is self-evident.

At this time, Juye in Sanyang County.

The ten thousand Yanzhou Army troops stationed here was led by Yu Jin himself.

After Liu Ye established King Chen Liu as the emperor in Luoyang, he issued secret orders to Xu Huang and Yu Jin, and ordered them to lead their troops in Matun to station at the border of the two states to prevent Cao's invasion.

"Give the enemy the illusion that our army is about to attack, but you don't have to rush to attack. If the enemy attacks, you can hit it head-on!"

This was the order Liu Ye gave to both Yu and Xu. As for the Nanyang Department where Zhang Jai was located, it didn't have to be the case. Liu Biao would not attack within a short time.

"Haha, Yuan Zhi, I didn't expect to see you in a few days, you would be appointed as a lieutenant of the military division. I really envy you."

"That's right, Yuan Zhi will have to fine three drinks today."

"Hahaha, good good, rightfully so."

In Xu Shu’s Mansion, four scholars gathered together to chat and laugh. Among them, the man in soft armor and brocade robe was Xu Shu. Because of the importance of the ban, he had been appointed as a lieutenant in the Forbidden Army. . It is necessary to know that many scholars take years of experience before they can be entrusted with important tasks. It is very rare for Xu Shu to be a school lieutenant when he first came up.

The other three were Shi Tao, Meng Jian, and Cui Jun who had been debating in Lumen Academy that day. On that day, Zhuge Liang and the three of them made a gambling agreement. If Liu Ye could win the battle of Yecheng, the three of them would go north to serve for the court. Therefore, after the news of the battle of Yecheng reached Xiangyang, the three decided to go north.

Duke Pound knew that he didn't say much later, but he applauded him deeply. After encouraging the three of them, he allowed them to go north.

However, when the three of them went northward, they encountered the changes of the two emperors of the east and the west.

"Brother Yuan Zhi, forgive me." Shi Tao looked at Xu Shu and suddenly said: "This time the court has changed, and the two emperors of the East and the West are side by side. I don't know what Brother Yuan Zhi thinks?"

Upon hearing this question, Meng Jian and Cui Jun both looked at Xu Shu with great concern, wanting to see what Xu Shu thought about this issue.

"Hehe, I think the general's personal essay on this matter is quite reasonable." Xu Shu smiled slightly.

"Oh? I've been waiting for a long time in Jingxiang, but I don't know what the general's writing is. Brother Yuan Zhi will tell us about it." Cui Jun said with interest.

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Before the general quoted Mencius, the people are the most valuable, the sheji is second, and the emperor is the light. The emperor imperes the country, the emperor died of the sheji, but the emperor left the people and ran to the east alone. In this regard, I am afraid that the people all over the world will not be convinced."

"But the general arbitrarily abolished the establishment of the emperor, I am afraid that the world's scholars and people have more doubts?" Meng Jian frowned.

"Hehe, the general also established the emperor for the court." Xu Shu explained with a smile: "If the emperor flees east, what should the people of the world think?"

"Hey, I'm afraid the world will be turbulent from now on." Cui Jun sighed.

"Brother Cui, today is the time of turmoil!" Xu Shu said boldly: "Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, and Gongsun du all the rebels segregated one side. Liu Biao and Liu Yan refused to accept the management. It is necessary for the heroes to sweep the world with their heroes. Who is the general?"

"Brother Yuan Zhi has a point." Shi Tao agreed: "Severe cases need strong medicine, but the heroes of the generals should make the best use of everything."

"Well, in that case, a letter of recommendation is written here to recommend three talents of the state and county to the general and the court." Xu Shu said with a smile.

The four words "talent of the state and county" were not made by Xu Shu, but Zhuge Liang's evaluation of Shi Tao, Meng Jian and others. Zhuge Liang said that Shi Tao and others were able to govern one state and one county. When Shi Tao and others asked Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang laughed and said nothing.

Xu Shu immediately drafted a letter, wrote a letter of recommendation to Shi Tao and others, and sent it to Luoyang.

"The three are Meng Gongwei, Shi Guangyuan, and Cui Zhouping who were born in Lumen Academy?"

In the general's mansion, Liu Ye stared at the three people in front of him with interest, with light in his eyes.

"The general knows I'm waiting for three people?" Shi Tao's eyes lit up. Although Xu Shu wrote a letter to the three of them, they didn't take it out.

Although Shi Tao and Meng Jian are inferior to Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu, they are also outstanding talents of Lumen Academy in recent years. The outstanding talents naturally have an arrogance and do not want to obtain official positions by relying on Xu Shu's recommendation letter.

Therefore, after the three arrived in Luoyang, they directly handed over the invitation to the General's Mansion, and they were met.

"Hahaha!" Liu Ye laughed and said boldly, "Lumen Academy is well-known in the world. Mr. Shui Jing and Pang Degong are masters of Confucian classics. The students from Lumen Academy are naturally talents of the county, and they will naturally understand them."

"I don't know if the three of you are here to visit the general or want to be an official?" Liu Ye smiled: "Now the court is looking for talents and thirsty. If the three great talents are willing to join the court, the court will not be stingy. The high officials are generous, I don't know what the three people want?"

Now Liu Ye's military power shakes the country, the military is like a cloud, and there are many intelligent and resourceful people. The most lacking is civilian officials. And Meng Jian, Shi Tao, and Cui Jun all served as senior officials at the state governor and county prefect level in the Cao Wei court, and the civil affairs capabilities of the three are naturally worthy of trust.

After Shi Tao, Meng Jian, and Cui Jun looked at each other, they bowed to Liu Ye and said, "I am waiting to serve the general and the court."

"OK!"

Liu Ye was overjoyed: "In this case, you wait for the three of you to arrange for the center to familiarize yourself with the affairs, and wait until the time is right before you go to the local office."

"Thank you for the general's importance."

The three of Meng Jian are talents, and it is a pity to be used as small officials. In the future, it will be more than enough for the long history to be used as a car in each state.

"It's true." Shi Tao took out a letter from his arms and said to Liu Ye: "This is a recommendation letter written by Xu Yuanzhi. It is not intended to be concealed by the inferior, but I don't want to wait because the general thought I was waiting for it. Because of the nepotism, I did not show it out. Please forgive me, the general.

"Xu Yuanzhi?" Liu Ye accepted the recommendation letter and said in surprise: "Xu Shu is also in our army? Why didn't the general know?"

"Hehe, Yuan Zhi is now in Yanzhou, working under Yu Pingdong." Shi Tao explained.

"So..." Liu Ye nodded and asked at the same time, "Is there a person named Zhuge Liang in Lumen Academy?"
