In the third year of Xingping, the emperor took refuge in Hedong.
On the Guiyou day of the first lunar month of spring, which is the seventh day of the first lunar month, the emperor offered sacrifices in the suburbs of Anyi, granted amnesty to the world, and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Jian'an.
The wheel of history has finally entered the first year of Jian'an.
However, at this time, in Huainan, thousands of miles away, no one except Yuan Yao knew about the emperor's change of state.
The biggest event that will happen this year is that Cao Cao welcomes the emperor and moves the capital to Xuchang, which establishes his political status of holding the emperor hostage to control the princes.
Starting from the first year of Jian'an, all the major protagonists in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, except Liu Bei, ushered in a golden period of development.
In this year, Cao Cao occupied Yuzhou and Yanzhou, becoming the overlord of the Central Plains.
Sun Ce defeated Wang Lang and completed his control of Jiangdong.
Yuan Shao widely occupied the land of Hebei and became the number one prince in the world.
And there is only one short year left before Yuan Shu becomes emperor!
Yuan Yao knew that he had to move faster.
You must strengthen your own strength and complete the organizational framework within the force before your father completely loses his mind!
On this day, Yuan Yao locked himself in a small dark room and wrote many small wooden signs with people's names.
There are three piles of wooden signs, namely the military commanders group, the counselors group, and the civil servants group.
In troubled times, military generals gallop on the battlefield, attack cities and fortresses, and destroy armies and countries. They are the sharp swords in the hands of princes!
Let’s look at the generals group first.
Currently, there are only two famous historical generals under Yuan Yao's command.
The name tags of Huang Zhong and Gan Ning were placed at the forefront of a pile of military commander cards.
Although the two men currently do not have much experience in commanding an army, given time, these two men will surely show their status as famous generals in front of the world.
Under the famous generals, there are good generals.
At present, only Lu Dai can barely be regarded as a good general.
As for Zheng Bao and Su Fei, although they are still usable at present, because there are few historical records, Yuan Yao cannot judge what their future achievements will be.
Maybe they gained new fortunes by following them and could become good generals or even famous generals. Or maybe they died in a certain battle and were only briefly mentioned by historians when writing biographies of others.
The rest, such as Qi Ji, Qin Yi, Xu Qian, Chen Jiu, Zhang Shuo and others, are basically just soy sauce.
It's not worth showing off that one day the fierce general on the other side might kill him with a knife.
These generals are enough to guard the three counties of Jiangxi, but to annex Jiangdong and fight Sun Ce are not enough.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Yao wrote three words on a sign.
Tai Shi Ci!
This general must be conquered as soon as possible!
In addition, my martial arts skills are mediocre, and I really need a strong personal general to lead the bodyguard army.
Alas, I don’t know what’s going on with Han Yin!
…
Shifting his gaze from the general card to the counselor card, Yuan Yao's frown finally relaxed a little.
The quality of the generals determines whether the swords in the hands of the princes are sharp.
So whether the counselors are resourceful or not determines whether the heads of the princes are stupid or wise.
The one placed at the front is naturally Zhuge Liang's name tag.
Further back, there are the brands of Lu Su and Zhuge Jin.
There is only one person at the end, and that is Jiang Gan.
Although this group of advisers is small in number, it is enough for the current Yuan Yao.
Although Zhuge Liang is far from reaching his peak, Yuan Yao firmly believes that theory needs to be combined with practice, and it may be more conducive to his development to let Zhuge Liang grow up in a work-study way.
Anyway, the current trend of history has not changed significantly. I can still rely on my ability to predict the unknown and anticipate the enemy's opportunities, and win by surprise.
Coupled with Lu Su and Zhuge Jin's support, it should be able to support Zhuge Liang's final development.
As for the last Jiang Gan, Yuan Yao put him here because he still needed an errand boy under his account to do some work of welcoming people to and from people, and receiving envoys on missions.
Finally looking at the civil service group, Yuan Yao finally showed a satisfied smile.
Civil servants are the most basic, largest, and most indispensable group of a party's power.
A military commander is equivalent to a sword in a person's hand to the princes.
A counselor to a prince is equivalent to a person's mind.
To the princes, civil servants are equivalent to a person's body.
No matter how sharp the sword is, if the person's limbs are weak, it is almost nothing.
No matter how clear and wise the mind is, if the body is paralyzed, it is the same as nothing.
Yuan Yao can be proud to say that the group of civil servants he has worked so hard to recruit are definitely luxurious enough.
Liu Fu, as well as Liang Xi, who was about to be recruited, were all feudal officials with the ability to control a single state and conquer thousands of miles.
He Kui, Zheng Hun, Yuan Huan, and Yuan Huan's younger brother Yuan Ba were all capable ministers who could be worshiped as ministers and could govern counties and counties.
The most important thing is that the forces behind these people are also used by themselves.
The He family, Yuan family, and Zheng family in Xingyang County of Chen County are all well-known and famous families.
In fact, these talents are the backbone of maintaining governance!
But compared to generals and counselors, civil servants are still the least noticeable group in troubled times.
Famous generals with an army of millions will win every battle and capture every attack!
A counselor can strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away!
Both of them can easily leave illustrious achievements that will shine through the annals of history, and be praised and admired by the world as legends from generation to generation!
The civil servants are much worse off. Not to mention the serious involution, it is difficult to become famous.
If you don't believe it, you can just read the history books. Very few pure civil servants can be famous for their "civilian governance" alone.
Civil servants want to be famous, firstly by "getting out of the circle", and secondly by "going out of line".
"Getting out of the circle" means that in addition to being good at governing the country, you must also make outstanding contributions in "martial arts."
Inside, the civil servants were close to the center of power, and occasionally they could turn into advisers and make suggestions for the emperor and princes. Outside, as local governors, the civil servants also have the opportunity to show their ability to lead troops to defend the city. Of course, the level varies.
It is much easier to "go out of line". Transforming into a powerful and treacherous official who plays tricks can also "leave his name in history".
Yuan Yao cherished his group of civil servants very much, but he also knew very well that the relationship between the civil servants and him was not as tight as the relationship between the generals and counselors.
These civil servants often represent interest groups. If the big tree like Yuan Yao falls down one day, they will not hesitate to abandon themselves and climb new branches.
This is also the reason why the image of civil servants in romance novels is generally poor.
Hua Xin and Wang Lang of Wei State, Li Yan of Shu State, and Zhang Zhao of Wu State were all like this.
There is no telling about the abilities of these people, but their image is difficult for people to accept, so it is easy for people to ignore their role.
Just when Yuan Yao was thinking about how to adjust the organizational structure within the force next, an announcement came from outside the door.
"Informing the Governor, Chief Han Yin is back and is asking for an audience outside the mansion!"
Yuan Yao raised his head suddenly. He had not forgotten the task he had assigned to Han Yin.
"Can you explain who he brought back?"
The person outside the door said: "Han Zhengyi came back with a carriage and said that the person detained in the carriage is the number one person appointed by you, the governor."
"What's your name? Xu Chu or something."
