Chapter 13 What is the most precious thing in the late Eastern Han Dynasty? Talent!
Historically, the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans attacked Dongjun probably in July of the second year of Chuping, early autumn.
But now,
But it is already winter, several months later than history.
Perhaps, this is one of the small effects brought about by Lu Yan's butterfly flapping its wings.
Although there have been some subtle changes in history, they have not been affected to the point of changing its trajectory. The general direction of history is still firm and correct. Lu Yan himself did not even realize that there were some small differences here.
Early the next morning,
Lu Yan and the civil and military officials who were to stay in Chenliu County bid farewell to Cao Cao and the departing army outside Chenliu City.
Looking at the 20,000 troops leaving in a mighty manner, Lu Yan murmured to himself: "Come on, Yellow Turbans! Boss Cao's rise depends entirely on you!"
Lu Yan was appointed by Cao Cao to handle Chen Liu's military and political affairs, so he and Xia Houlan stayed in the city for the night last night.
Xia Houlan went to see Zhao Yun at night.
The two of them probably exchanged a lot of experience in martial arts last night.
When Lu Yan saw Xia Houlan today, there were still some bruises on his face.
Lu Yan's soliloquy just now was heard by Xia Houlan. He stretched his head in front of Lu Yan and asked: "Sir, what do you mean by cheering?"
Lu Yan glanced at Xia Houlan's colorful face and said angrily: "Come on? Come on, it means you will die."
"That's it, I remember it!" Xia Houlan said suddenly.
Lu Yan was in no mood to talk nonsense with Xia Houlan. It could even be said that he was in a very bad mood now.
"Boss Cao left in style, but he left all Chen Liu's affairs to me... It's going to kill me!"
Turning around and looking at the back of Cao Jun who was staring at Cao Jun's departure, Cao Ren and Cao Hong, whose faces were full of disappointment, and Mao Jie, who was standing meticulously with no expression on his face, Lu Yan seemed to have seen his own misery in the future.
Life.
The fact was just as Lu Yan expected,
Although the remaining army was managed by Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian and Yu Jin, Lu Yan didn't need to worry too much.
But government affairs were rushing toward Lu Yan like a tsunami...
Just three days,
The high-intensity work every day has made Lu Yan feel as if he was exhausted.
What he is thinking about most now is: "There are too few people available, we can't continue like this... Even if I have innate true energy to protect me, I will be exhausted..."
Lu Yan looked at Mao Jie, who was working overtime with him until late at night, and thought in his mind:
"Although Mao Jie is a noble gentleman,
I also have some good insights,
But he is only average in handling government affairs."
Since there is so much logistical work for the army to go on an expedition,
Lu Yan also had to take care of farm matters.
So the two of them were really busy during this period.
"I have to find more people to help with government affairs, otherwise we will both be exhausted..."
Thinking about it,
Among Cao Cao's current camp, Li Dian is probably the only one left in Chenliu City who can be used.
Li Dian is a typical balanced military commander.
Both the civil and military aspects are okay, it can be considered a second-rate level, there is nothing particularly outstanding, but there are no obvious shortcomings.
"But even if Li Dian is added, there are only three of us..." Lu Yan sighed secretly and thought: "It would be great if there were more people who are good at dealing with politics."
Thinking of this, Lu Yan began to recall seriously,
"If we say Cao Cao's most important civil servant and counselor, besides Xun Yu, it is Guo Jia.
But Guo Jia might still be fighting against Yuan Shao at this time.
It would be difficult to find him, let alone invite him."
Lu Yan was so absorbed in his thoughts that he subconsciously put his elbows on the table and supported his chin with his hands.
"Xun You?" When Lu Yan thought of Xun Yu's nephew, his eyes lit up.
But then his eyes quickly dimmed again,
"Xun You is probably in Chang'an at this time, plotting how to kill Dong Zhuo..."
In other words,
Xun You was recruited to the imperial court when He Jin took control of the government.
Moreover, as soon as Xun You left, he was named the Huangmen Minister. It was obvious that he was highly regarded by the court.
Later, the princes attacked Dong, and Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an.
Xun You was inevitably forced to move to Chang'an together with all the officials in the court.
But Xun You was not idle.
After the news of Sun Jian's death came,
Dong Zhuo became more violent and unscrupulous,
But in contrast, Dong Zhuo's vigilance also dropped a lot.
Xun You saw this opportunity and secretly conspired with Zheng Tai, He Yong, Zhong Ji, Wu Qiong and others, intending to raise troops to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
But it's a pity,
Xun You and others' plan was eventually leaked.
Dong Zhuo found out and imprisoned Xun You, He Yong and others.
He Yong even committed suicide out of fear, and Xun You was acquitted and released after Dong Zhuo was killed.
Lu Yan shook his head and said:
"Thinking too far... Xun You doesn't know yet whether he has started a plan to assassinate Dong Zhuo or not.
And Chenliu is too far away from Chang'an..."
"Ugh...who else is there?"
"Zhong Yao?" Lu Yan thought of a political genius again, but he quickly denied it: "This genius is also in Chang'an... I vaguely remember that it was after Boss Cao welcomed the emperor back that he surrendered to Cao Cao The boss’s.”
"The Emperor..." Lu Yan suddenly lowered his head and looked at Mao Jie, "It was this dear friend in front of me who proposed not obeying the Emperor's orders. Did I underestimate Mao Jie too much..."
The more Lu Yan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, so he nodded secretly and thought:
"It is indeed very possible that I underestimated him...So, should I give him some more work to reflect his personal value?"
We are in need of people! Lu Yan is almost going crazy missing people right now!
However, many great talents only joined Cao Cao after he welcomed back the Emperor. At this time, Boss Cao was really weak.
Finally finished today's work,
After sending Mao Jie away,
Lu Yansheng lay helplessly on the desk,
I am still thinking hard in my mind about who can be called in to help now.
But after thinking about it for a while,
Either it's a matter of identity or distance, or simply he hasn't grown up yet.
"Oh my god...I...no, it's Boss Cao. It's really difficult..."
After sighing a few times,
Lu Yan took out his diary and prepared to complete today's daily routine.
[Oh, now I understand how difficult it is to be a qualified ruler... This is just Chenliu County...]
[I can’t do it anymore. I have to find someone to help share the burden. I’m almost too busy today to write a diary. I really can’t do it if I continue like this! 】
[But where is the talent?
It would be nice if Boss Cao didn't make Chen Gong angry and leave.
That man was also a great talent who could calculate and govern the country... It's a pity that Lu Bu got the advantage in the end...]
Lu Yan wrote and wrote, and then began to write down some of his views on the current situation.
[The Yellow Turbans in East County can be said to be the first wave of benefits for Boss Cao. Not only did they give away people and food, they also took advantage of the situation and allowed Boss Cao to occupy East County and expand his territory. 】
[It seems that the Yellow Turbans will also happen in Yanzhou next, but I can’t remember how Boss Cao came to take charge of Yanzhou...]
[What was the most valuable thing in the late Eastern Han Dynasty? Talent! It’s a pity that talents will not come to the bowl by themselves.]
[It’s a universal system, can you reward individuals for me to use?
Our family is not greedy, just have someone like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui...]
[Ding! The system prompts: Please don’t have wishful thinking or daydream, thank you.]
