The first person Liu Bei decided to recruit was Cheng Yu from Dong'a, Dongjun.
Then came Du Ji from Duling in Jingzhao, Mao Jie from Pingqiu in Chenliu, Zhang Zhao from Pengcheng in Xuzhou, Zhang Hong from Guangling in Xuzhou, Shi Huan from Peiguo in Yuzhou, Liu Ye from Chengde in Huainan, Zhang Ji from Zuo Fengyi, and Chenliu. Gao Shun and so on.
Of course, recruiting talents does not mean recruiting just whoever comes to mind. Even if you have the qualifications to recruit talents nationwide, recruitment must be targeted and not decided casually.
He needs some reason.
Liu Bei has been quietly preparing for today since more than a year ago. He doesn't know when he will be able to open his mansion, but he knows that he will have such a day eventually. There is nothing wrong with preparing in advance.
So he kept writing letters to his friends and subordinates, asking them to recommend some local talented people to him, saying that if possible, he would visit and recruit these talented people in the future.
For example, Mao Jie from Chenliu Pingqiu was recommended to him by Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu who had funded him before. Zhang Miao believed that Mao Jie was a truly talented person. He was not from a very high background but had a good reputation and could serve Liu Bei. Effective, so highly recommended.
Liu Bei decided to summon him.
Then Shi Huan, a native of Pei State in Yuzhou, was recommended by Xiahou Dun to Liu Bei. He said that Shi Huan was brave and had military skills. Although he had been a hero, he was not an ordinary hero. If he used it well, he could be a general.
Liu Bei decided to summon him.
There was also Zhang Ji, a native of Zuofeng Yi, who was recommended to him by Meng Tuo. He thought that although Zhang Ji was from a poor family, he was very talented. He talked eloquently with him, revealing his profound knowledge, and Zhang Ji's family also He made contributions to Liu Bei's business of selling salt, and he was one of his own.
Liu Bei decided to summon him.
There was also Du Ji from Duling in Jingzhao, who was also recommended by Meng Tuo. Meng Tuo didn't know Du Ji, but he had heard of Du Ji's reputation and thought he had some talent. He suggested that Liu Bei take a look at him and give him a try. If he was a talented person, Why not include them?
Liu Bei also decided to summon him.
As for Chenliu's Gao Shun, he was recommended to him by Gao Yu, the prefect of Shu County who collaborated with Liu Bei in papermaking.
Gao Yu promoted virtuous people and never avoided relatives. He believed that one of his tribesmen, Gao Shun, had great talents. Although he was taciturn, his behavior was like that of ancient sages, and he also had literary and military skills. He was willing to use his reputation to vouch for Gao Shun. Liu Bei would definitely not go wrong if he recruited Gao Shun.
So Liu Bei decided to summon him.
Zhang Zhao, a native of Pengcheng, Xuzhou, and Zhang Hong, a native of Guangling, were talents mentioned by Zheng Xuan. He said that these two were well-known scholars in the local area. They were widely respected in the hearts of Xuzhou people and had very good conduct. If they could assist Liu Bei, It will definitely correct some of Liu Bei's shortcomings in his behavior.
So Liu Bei decided to summon them.
Liu Ye, a native of Chengde in Huainan, was what Liu Bei himself thought of. He thought that some opportunities should be given to Han clan clan members. As they were both Han clan clan members, the relationship should be closer. However, there were not many Han clan clan members in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Great talent, as I kept thinking about it, I thought of Liu Ye.
So he sent someone to look for news about Liu Ye and decided to summon him.
There is also Cheng Yu from Dong'a in Dongjun, who should still be called Cheng Li now. This was Liu Bei's own idea. He thought that Cheng Li, a ruthless man, could be of great help to him, so he decided to summon him.
The remaining ones include Gu Yong, a native of Wu County, who was recommended to Liu Bei by Cai Yong.
Cai Yong said that when he was fleeing trouble in Jiangdong, he had been Gu Yong's teacher. He thought that Gu Yong was very talented, a gentleman, and knowledgeable. He admired Gu Yong very much and felt that he could be used. He would definitely be of great help to Liu Bei. Helpful for the great cause.
In addition, the people in Changyi, Shanyang County were favored by the people, but no one recommended him to Liu Bei. He was also a talent that Liu Bei had thought of, so he sent people to look for him to see what position he currently held and whether he was still idle. Anyway, if possible, he would be summoned. He comes to Luoyang.
Then Liu Bei counted on his fingers how many freely allocated places he still had, and found that there were still seven or eight places that he could use at will.
So he decided to send people to Jizhou to look for Zhao Yun and Zhang He, to Yuzhou to look for Le Jin, and to Yanzhou to look for Yu Jin and others.
Anyway, as far as he can remember, there are probably no talents with serious positions yet. He has sent people to look for them to see if they can be found. If they can be found, it means that fate has come. Then recruit them. If you can't find them, it doesn't matter. , it can only mean that fate has not arrived yet.
If these people are willing to come, then it is fate and we can all work together in the future.
If you don't want to come, that's your personal wish. Liu Bei respects your personal wishes and has already given up on helping others.
The quotas that can be freely allocated are almost used up, and the rest are already occupied.
General Shi of the Hussars, Liu Bei promised to Jia Xu.
Hussar General Sima, Liu Bei handed over to Xun You.
General Hussar served as the lieutenant, and Liu Bei appointed two tribesmen, Liu Hui and Liu Sheng.
Liu Bei appointed Ruan Yu as the general in charge of the Hussars.
Then before, Liu Bei Zheng'er could appoint subordinates with official status in Liangzhou Prefecture, which was limited to Liangzhou. Those subordinates who followed him in Yizhou joined his general military mansion and were not recognized. It is a government, so it is not a serious official body.
Now that he has opened the Hussar General's Mansion, he has officially received the approval of the imperial court, and he must take action to recruit the people from Yizhou who were willing to follow him before.
For example, Gan Ning, Zhao Wei, Qin Mi, Wang Shang, Zhang Ren and others were summoned to Luoyang by him and let them enter the Hussar General's mansion and serve as the Hussar General's subordinates.
In this way, they are equivalent to having a serious official status, being recognized, and are the real subordinates of Liu Bei. After that, they are the subordinates of the hussar general, and they are under the second level of monarch relationship. The relationship between king and minister.
Liu Bei has finally opened up the situation in Yizhou.
Then Liu Bei appointed a group of Liangzhou subordinates who originally followed him.
Some people are very capable and have achievements, but because Liangzhou's market is small, they cannot get more promising positions.
In addition, the fast-growing talents who came out of Liangzhou Prefecture School have also begun to enter the period of observing government affairs, and have begun to personally operate government affairs. General government affairs can be handed over to these talents who are observing administration, leaving them to the skilled hands. The space is not big.
Continuing to stay in Liangzhou is quite a waste for those talents who already have strong abilities. They should be on a bigger stage.
Therefore, Liu Bei carefully selected a group of capable people, summoned them to Luoyang, and filled them into the Hussar General's Mansion, where they served as the Hussar General's subordinates, commanders, imperial subordinates, ministers, etc.
They can prepare for the operation and training of related matters now, improve their horizons and knowledge, and prepare for the more important missions they will undertake in the future.
As a result, they have occupied nearly 60 places in total.
Liu Bei planned to use the remaining dozen spots to win over all the forces in Luoyang City that might be used for his own benefit, especially the Kanto noble clans.
Previously, only the Xun family joined the Liu Bei Group, and they refused further in-depth binding with Liu Bei. This made Liu Bei unhappy, so he decided not to regard the Xun family as his only partner, and then selected other partners.
If the Xun family feels that they have a great right to choose, Liu Bei will let them know that choice depends on strength.
So he included Chen Qun, the son of the Chen family in Yingchuan, and Zhong Yao, the son of the Zhong family in Yingchuan, into the scope of the call, and extended an olive branch to them, hoping to get the support of these two Yingchuan families.
At the same time, he heard the news that Yuan Wei and He Jin wanted to expand their power to fight him, so they recruited a large number of people in the government. Some people did not resist the temptation and joined, but some people resisted the temptation. Didn't join in.
Liu Bei knew exactly what they were thinking.
Therefore, in order to win over these people, Liu Bei sacrificed his own resources and launched a summons for them in the name of General Hussar.
In addition, in order to disintegrate the forces of He Jin and Yuan Wei, he also had to use part of his resources to exchange for the cooperation of the swing forces there, and strive to work with them to destroy the forces of Yuan Wei and He Jin.
In addition, Liu Bei also has the qualifications to promote talents.
As a general with a heavy title, Liu Bei has a more precious political resource than filial piety and integrity in his hands. Liu Bei will have more foundation for his power, and more people will beg him in the future.
All in all, after becoming the founding general, Liu Bei is no longer the Liu Bei he used to be.
