Liu Zhang originally wanted to follow Cao Cao's example and issue a talent seeking order in advance, but the order was too controversial. Yizhou has not yet been pacified, so he can only give priority to local talents in Yizhou.
Regarding the famous figures in Yizhou, Liu Zhang only remembered a general idea, and it is possible that many of the figures were not from Guanghan County.
For example, Huang Quan, Yan Yan, Zhang Song, etc., they are representatives and aristocratic families of Bajun and Shujun respectively. It makes no sense for Liu Zhang to recruit them now.
After waiting for a long time, Qin Xun finally took the initiative to speak.
"My lord, I really only want a great talent, but..."
From Qin Xun's tone, it seemed that he had been struggling for a long time before speaking out.
"Master Qin can speak frankly, there is no need to have any other concerns."
"Well, my lord, this person is not old enough to stand up, and his reputation is not obvious."
After Qin Xun finished speaking, Liu Zhang understood that he must be an unknown young man. No wonder Qin Xun was so entangled.
"It doesn't matter. To be able to get the attention of Master Qin, I think he is definitely not an ordinary person!"
With Liu Zhang's affirmation, Qin Xun felt more confident.
"My lord, this person's surname is Zheng and his given name is unknown. He is from Guanghan, Guanghan County. Zheng Du is a quick thinker. He is definitely the top talent in Yizhou!"
Zheng Du! It's him!
Liu Zhang couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart, how could he not know Zheng Du, the counselor who almost starved Liu Bei to death in Shu!
Liu Zhang had been conducting overt and covert investigations for a long time. There was no family named Zheng in Guanghan County. Liu Zhang even thought that Zheng Du was in Luocheng or went to Shu County!
Zheng Du is a very loyal person, very similar to Zhang Ren's character. He is definitely a loyal minister who does not serve two masters!
Liu Zhang was secretly worried that once Zheng Du was under the command of Zhang Lu or Jia Long, he would miss him!
After Qin Xun said this, Liu Zhang also woke up and realized that Zheng Du was still very young at this time and had no official career at all!
"Master Qin, isn't Zheng Du a member of the family? Why isn't his reputation obvious?"
Qin Xun frowned slightly and sighed softly.
"Hey, my lord, you don't know something! The Zheng family where Zheng Du lives was formerly a wealthy family in Luocheng. Unfortunately, it was affected by Ma Xiang's Rebellion. Now only Zheng Du is left in the entire Zheng family."
"So that's it..."
No wonder Liu Zhang couldn't find the family surnamed Zheng. It turned out that they were all slaughtered by Ma Xiang!
"My lord, Jia Long was able to defeat Ma Xiang so quickly because of Zheng Du's plan! Because of this, the family suffered disaster!"
Liu Zhang had no doubts about Qin Xun's words. Zheng Du was talented and qualified as a counselor, and he was even known as a being comparable to Fazheng!
How could Liu Zhang let such a talent go? The addition of Zheng Du will once again fill his think tank!
"Master Qin, you know Zheng Du so well, you should have some friendship with him, right?"
Qin Xun nodded awkwardly. He did have some selfish motives for recommending Zheng Du.
"Nothing can be hidden from my lord. Our Qin family has some friendship with the Zheng family. Originally, I wanted Zheng Du to come to my Qin family temporarily, but this child has a resolute character and would rather return to Guanghan than stay with me..."
Sure enough, every top counselor has a unique temperament!
"Master Qin, I happen to be short of a candidate to join the army. I wonder if you can recruit Zheng Du?"
Seeing Liu Zhang's smile, Qin Xun was extremely moved. He didn't expect Liu Zhang to trust him so much!
In fact, Qin Xun really overthought it. Joining the army was just a transitional position for Zheng Du. Liu Zhang's regard for Zheng Du was far beyond Qin Xun's imagination!
"Qin Xun thanks my lord on behalf of Zheng Du!"
Qin Xun had a look of surprise on his face. Zheng Du knew him very well and had great ambitions. He had long wanted to show off his ambitions!
Now that he has Liu Zhang's attention, how can Zheng Du refuse?
"Okay! Then I'll leave it to Master Qin!"
Liu Zhang had already made a calculation in his mind. If Qin Xun couldn't recruit Zheng Du, then he would go and invite him himself!
If Zheng Du still refuses to come out, Liu Zhang wouldn't mind paying a visit to Guanghan in advance!
"My lord, I also know a great talent. I originally wanted to introduce him to my lord after the new year. Since my lord mentioned this matter today, I don't have to wait any longer."
"Oh? Wen Biao, tell me quickly!"
Liu Zhang was already satisfied with the news about Zheng Du, but he didn't expect that Wang Shang would also come forward at this time and recommend the two of them at once!
"Yes! My lord, almost all the capable people in Yizhou have already become officials, and those who have not yet become officials are almost all the younger generation!"
Liu Zhang nodded slightly, he understood what Wang Shang said.
The Yizhou aristocratic clans themselves are united, and those with a little ability will almost always serve as officials with filial piety and integrity. This also leads to the reason why the officialdom of Yizhou is monopolized by the Yizhou aristocratic clans.
"Could it be that those recommended by Wen Piao are also young talents?"
Wang Shang smiled and nodded, confirming Liu Zhang's suspicion.
"My lord, there is a great talent in Mianzhu right now, but this person is not from Yizhou, but moved from Nanjun of Jingzhou last year."
A man from Nanjun in Jingzhou moved his family to Yizhou, and he is still a great talent!
A name suddenly flashed in Liu Zhang's mind, and he looked at Wang Shang with excitement.
"Who exactly is Wen Biao talking about?"
"Dong He, Dong Youzai!"
Sure enough it was him!
Liu Zhang was overjoyed. He didn't expect it to be Dong He!
Speaking of Dong He, many people may not be familiar with it, but if it comes to his son, everyone will definitely know it.
Dong He's son is one of the famous Four Prime Ministers of Shu Han, Dong Yun!
Although Dong He is not as famous as his son, there is absolutely no doubt about Dong He's ability!
Dong He was an honest man and set an example during his tenure, which greatly improved the atmosphere of advocating luxury. Dong He was an easy-going man and got along extremely well with the Yizhou barbarians!
In history, both Liu Zhang and Liu Bei entrusted Dong He with important responsibilities!
"Who is the other person?"
If he showed too much enthusiasm, it would inevitably make people suspicious, so Liu Zhang could only ask the person patiently.
"My lord, the second person is from Shifang County, Guanghan County. His surname is Wang Lei. Wang Lei is rigorous and meticulous in his work. People in his hometown say he is unkind!"
Liu Zhang couldn't hold his nerve no matter how hard he suppressed him at this moment. He had just received news about Zheng Du and Dong He, and so soon there was news about Wang Lei?
Wang Lei's ability is far inferior to that of Zheng Du and Dong He, but in terms of loyalty to the monarch, it is beyond the reach of anyone!
In order to prevent Liu Zhang from luring the wolf into the house, Wang Lei was even willing to die to wake up Liu Zhang. Such loyal ministers are hard to find in ancient times!
"Are Wang Lei and Wang Changshi the same race?"
Seeing that Liu Zhang had been in a daze, Jia Xu spoke to attract Wang Shang's attention.
Wang Shang understood what Jia Xu meant, and he must be worried that Wang Shang was promoting people from the Wang family. However, Wang Lei had nothing to do with the Wang family, so Wang Shang answered truthfully.
"No, Wang Lei is from Shifang County and I am from Qi County. It doesn't matter."
The simple conversation between Jia Xu and Wang Shang also woke Liu Zhang up.
"Wen Biao, you must find these two people for me, and tell them at the same time that I will definitely use them more!"
Wang Shang's eyes twitched. He didn't expect Liu Zhang to be so persistent with the two of them because of his few words.
"Yes, I will definitely recruit the two of them to my lord's command!"
Wang Shang had no pressure to recruit these two people.
Dong He was very interested in his official career, and he would definitely not turn down Liu Zhang's offer when he heard about it!
The Wang family in Shifang County was in decline. Wang Lei's desire to revive the Wang family on his own was simply a fool's errand, and joining Liu Zhang's command was undoubtedly the best choice.
Wang Shang was full of confidence, and so was Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang, who was known for being weak and cowardly in history, could get the loyalty of three people, let alone himself who is so wise and powerful now?
Dong He, Zheng Du, Wang Lei!
The joining of these three people will definitely make Liu Zhang Group's momentum even more unstoppable!
