After solving Xu He's problem, it was already dark.
Wang Yu pinched his eyebrows and felt tired. This lord is really not something that just anyone can do. He doesn't have to do anything else all day long. He just meets people and explains things. It's a day without any problems.
.Sigh, I really miss the video conferencing in later generations.
This was just after the war, and the news hadn't spread yet. When the news came, it wasn't just his subordinates who he wanted to see. There must also be an endless stream of envoys from all forces, probing, showing good intentions, and questioning Langya.
After the fighting begins, the envoy from Xuzhou will definitely come, and there will be another round of verbal quarrels.
It's really no ordinary trouble.
Wang Yu raised his finger and tapped on his forehead, thinking that his diplomatic talents were still a little short after all. The combination of Kong Rong and Mi Heng was somewhat polarizing. Kong Rong was too soft and Mi Heng was too hard. If the former took action, it would be very difficult.
It is easy for the momentum to weaken and the latter to take action, which means there is no room for change at all, and it can only be a life-and-death fight.
In the past, Qingzhou's strength was limited and there were not many related forces. Now that its power has increased significantly, diplomatic affairs will definitely increase dramatically. It cannot do without talents who are good at dancing. Wang Yu does not want to spend his time in the future fighting with various princes.
Intrigue and intrigue.
He actually already has a specific goal for talents in this field and has ordered Xu Shu to focus on searching for them.
The most anticipated target should be easy to convince, and this person should not be too particular. The only problem is whether he can find it.
It is quite difficult to find someone in this era. Otherwise, celebrities would not be so valuable. A hundred miles away would be very far away. Thousands of miles away. It would be no different from another world.
Wang Yu's knowledge of famous generals was limited to stories in novels. He had no idea of the truly important personal information. Just like Pan Zhang, he only knew that the other party was a general of Soochow. It was natural for people to search for it in Jiangdong. Where could he expect to find it?
, this guy lives in Dongjun. He left his hometown and went to Jiangdong to avoid debts?
Without an accurate place of origin, just a name and a general location, the task of tracing the person naturally becomes extremely difficult.
Of course, Wang Yu didn't have no idea. Chun Yuqiong was an important part of his search for people. This guy had a good reputation but not much ability, so he was allowed to roam around and tell Qingzhou's standards for recruiting scholars, promotion channels, and the New Deal's policies.
The content and other related information are spread out and reach the ears of those talents who have not yet entered the official career.
Without this method, the dissemination of information is too inefficient. Moreover, it will be distorted during the dissemination process. There are many people who can benefit from the Qingzhou New Deal, including ordinary people, children from poor families, merchants' families, etc., you can all see it
Although he was conscious of his own interests, it was the interests of powerful families that were weakened.
In this era, the right to disseminate information is actually in the hands of powerful families.
If Wang Yu just waits passively, waiting for the information to reach the ears of his targets, making them interested, understand them from all aspects, and finally be tempted to invest, it will take less than three to five years. Then don't even think about it.
Not everyone is as resolute and decisive as Xu Shu.
On the table in front of Wang Yu, there is a map, covering the whole country, with a thick line drawn in cinnabar, from Dongjun to Yingchuan, then to Nanyang, then heading westward, pointing directly at Jingzhao.
County, then turns from Sanfu to Hanzhong and enters Bashu, and finally flows down the Yangtze River, passing through Jingxiang, Jiangxia, and ending in Jiangdong.
This is not the route of marching to pacify the world, but the route that Chunyu Qiong's propaganda team will take for some time to come.
Wang Yu estimates that it will take at least a year to complete this journey. If something unexpected happens, it may take longer. But as long as it can be completed within two years, it will be a very happy thing.
According to the plan, wherever Chunyu Qiong goes, he will publicize it from top to bottom just like he did in Puyang. His reputation is there, and unless he has a mortal enemy with Wang Yu, there should be no one.
Will be in trouble with him.
After such propaganda all the way, as long as those celebrities are not deaf and do not live in the uninhabited mountains, they will have some ideas about themselves and Qingzhou. Of course, not everyone will identify with themselves, and not everyone who identifies with themselves,
They will all travel thousands of miles to work for you, but as long as there is one out of ten, your talent pool will be full.
What's more, as far as Wang Yu knows, there are some characters who deserve special attention and are quite aggressive.
Among Chun Yuqiong's entourage, there are several spies from the Qingzhou Intelligence Department lurking. They have a list in their hands and will make further contacts after discovering something. This is the complete picture of Wang Yu's plan.
Looking at the map on the table, thinking about the future scene where he would have many talents under his command, famous generals like a rain, and advisers like a cloud, Wang Yu laughed out loud. He didn't even notice Jia Xu entering the account, but his weird smile made him laugh.
The latter was startled.
"My lord, who are you trying to plot against again?" Jia Xu asked curiously.
"How can there be? Ahem, Wen He, after all, I am also a pillar of the imperial court and a powerful leader. Is it as unbearable as you say?"
"Hey, the pillars of the imperial court? Since ancient times, how many good people have been called the pillars of the imperial court? They are all sanctimonious on the surface, but privately they are not..."
Seeing that Wang Yu's expression was wrong, Jia Xu quickly changed the subject: "Ahem, of course, my lord, you are different, but when you scheme against people secretly, you are no worse than those old and cunning guys, so isn't it Xu He who was tricked by you?
Damn it? If I sell myself, I still have to help you count the money."
"Are you praising me?" Wang Yu looked at Jia Xu with a wry smile. Seeing that the latter nodded vigorously, he waved his hand and said nothing more: "Okay, I am not as poor as you, so you come to me so late.
,Is something wrong?"
"The reply I just received is that Liu Yu has agreed to your invitation and has already set off south from Jixian."
Wang Yu's eyes flashed, and he asked with a hint of sarcasm: "Going south from Jixian? That must have happened a long time ago, right?"
Before the decisive battle in the plains, Liu Yu had already intervened in many ways. On the one hand, he won over Jiao Chu and other Jizhou generals, and on the other hand, he also dispatched the army southward, and his intention to try to make a profit was clear.
Wang Yu was not sure whether Liu Yu did not join the battle group in time because he realized that there was no chance of winning, or he waited too long and lacked decisiveness. But he felt that at such an important decisive moment, he should be on the scene to take charge of the overall situation.
Since it once appeared near the battlefield, wouldn't it be ridiculous to say that it is going south from Jixian now?
"My lord, you were wrong this time. On that day, only 20,000 soldiers from Wangmen and Youzhou counties were sent south. The person in charge of the overall situation was Yan Rou, the general of Youzhou. Liu Yu himself was sitting in the city of Jixian.
Waiting for news." Jia Xu also had a hint of ridicule in his tone, but it was not directed at Wang Yu.
"He didn't come in person? Who is Yan Rou?" Wang Yu was greatly surprised. Even if a man like Yuan Shao, a son of a wealthy family who believes that a son with a daughter of gold cannot sit down in court, would still have to be present in person at the critical moment. Of course he would not charge into the battle.
But on-site command and dispatch are always necessary.
That battle was crucial to the whole of Hebei. There was no reason why Liu Yu would be so calm, right? Or, what was so special about Yan Rou?
"This man is from Guangyang. When he was young, he was captured by Wuwan and Xianbei and sold as a slave. Later, Xianbei had internal strife. In the chaos, he rescued Su Li, the commander of Xianbei in the east, and gained his close trust. Later he returned to Han and borrowed
With Xianbei's power, he killed Xing Ju, the captain of the Wuhuan Guards, and replaced him. He was very prestigious among the miscellaneous people in the border areas."
With three parts disdain and seven parts contempt, Wang Yu gently spit out a new term: "It turns out he is a traitor..."
"Ah?" Jia Xu was slightly startled.
"Nothing, you continue." Wang Yu waved his hand.
"This man's character is certainly not good, but his martial arts and military strategy are extraordinary. My lord, please do not underestimate him." Jia Xu saw Wang Yu's contempt, but he still reminded him dutifully.
Wang Yu nodded and said solemnly: "I understand. Anyway, we won't use troops against Youzhou in the near future. We can study the temperament of Youzhou generals slowly and tell the right master first."
This was the purpose of Jia Xu's visit, and he said in a deep voice: "Liu Yu is somewhat similar to Yuan Shao, but not exactly the same. It can be judged from his previous actions that he intends to get involved in Jizhou, but he is unwilling to take command personally.
From a certain point of view, he may not be determined to get it, and the reason why he is unwilling to come in person is probably just to protect his reputation."
"Taking care of your reputation? Where do you start talking about this?" Wang Yu was stunned.
"Well," Jia Xu pondered for a moment. It seemed that Liu Yu's evaluation and his descriptive ability were a big test.
"First of all, my lord, you need to know that Liu Yu is not an ordinary local official. He is a member of the clan, and not an ordinary clan member, but Zongzheng! Before he went to Youzhou to take office, he had already been a Taiwei. Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang and took charge of the central government.
When he was in great power, he did not dare to treat him lightly, so he asked for an order to make him a Grand Sima, and to make him the Marquis of Xiangben."
Zongzheng is an official in the family who manages royal affairs. In the Song and Ming Dynasties, this official was just the same thing. But in the Han Dynasty, the power of the royal family was very great. Considering the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty,
There were as many as five princes who were in charge of a state as clan members, so Zongzheng's influence naturally increased.
Coupled with his own official position, it can be said that even if Wang Yu is added to tie all the princes in Hebei together, the official position is not as big as that of Liu Yu.
Of course, these are troubled times, and the decisive factor is real fists, rather than illusory reputation and official positions. However, when a person's reputation and status reach a certain level, even the powerful princes who are far more powerful will not be able to do it.
Before attacking the enemy, you must first weigh and weigh.
"Liu Yu is very self-aware and knows that his greatest advantage is not in force, so he attaches great importance to his reputation. His disagreement with General Gongsun is known to the world. General Gongsun almost always suffers secret losses and cannot catch them at all.
To an outsider, the other party’s leverage can only be seen as General Gongsun’s domineering behavior.”
Jia Xu introduced with a solemn face: "This style has become a habit. Therefore, although he watched the last decisive battle, he refused to take command in person. After the defeat, he could distance himself from the relationship with the Wangmen.
, it turns out that he can also be said to have acted without permission out of righteous indignation among his subordinates, and people will not associate him with the impression of sinisterness and cunning."
Finally, Jia Xu solemnly warned: "In short, the biggest trouble in fighting with this person is not in the battle formation, but in the political strategy. The Lord must be cautious!"
Wang Yu nodded solemnly: "I know, I will be careful." (To be continued...)
