As soon as Chengfeng's recruitment list came out, another hurricane blew up in an instant. It was like spring thunder on a dry land, and it was like gorgeous fireworks suddenly blooming in the dark sky, bringing a glimmer of hope to all the poor people!
"The leader Xiaoyao Hou of Jizhou Mu Han promised to become the prefect of Changshan. Because Changshan is full of waste and waiting for prosperity, we are looking for talented people from all over the world. As long as they have a skill and good conduct, they can be admitted. Anyone who wants to contribute to the people will be admitted regardless of their origin. , Chengfeng and the people all over the world are waiting enthusiastically!" There are Chengfeng sergeants everywhere posting recruitment lists!
"Oh, Master Cheng really cares about the people! This little brother, we old people don't have much ability, and we have a few useless children at home. Can we go?" An old man said tremblingly.
"My lord has an order. The recruitment list is for the purpose of recruiting talents! Anyone with talents can go there. As for what my father-in-law said, my lord has an order. If any of the people want to enter Changshan, I welcome them and promise to wait for you all to come." The people of Changshan are no different!" Wu Tiangang said
"Really! That's great! Then I will ask my son to follow you in Changshan, not for the purpose of making achievements, but just for him to live a good life!" An old man said helplessly. After all, the only people who can afford food now are the Taiping Sect. Changshan is the only one left. How can other places care about these poor people?
"Old man, why don't you go to Changshan?"
"Ah? We can go too? But are we old? We can only be a burden if we go! I can't thank you enough for taking our nephew in!" An old man was happy at first, and then said sadly.
"You don't know. My adults often say that the young are like the young, and the old are like the old! I only hope that people in the world can love each other and be one family! In the eyes of us adults, there is no distinction between high and low! Everyone is They are equal! So everyone, if you want to go to Changshan, you can go without worry!" Wu Tiangang said quickly, and at the same time he admired Cheng Feng even more. He is a lord who is different and speaks astonishingly! What he does is often unconventional, yet convincing. At the same time, I feel that in these troubled times, there is such a person who is admired by the people of the world!
"Young people and young people are like each other, and old people are like other people. You are so righteous! I am willing to follow you!" A group of people were so enthusiastic by Wu Tiangang's few words that they rushed to Changshan with their families.
This is just a microcosm. A large number of people in Jizhou are rushing to Chengfeng. The only drawback is that there are not many celebrities and lofty ideals from the Three Kingdoms. This makes Chengfeng very puzzled! I have done a good enough job, why is there still no Daxian? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, "Come here, invite Mr. Tian!" Cheng Feng said
"My lord, why are you calling me here so urgently?" After a while, Tian Yu came. I'm a little confused. After all, there are a lot of people here now, and I am very busy.
Cheng Feng quickly expressed his doubts. Tian Yu frowned and thought for a while and said, "My lord, most of the people born in Bai Ding are military generals. After all, not many people can read and write, and even fewer know how to govern and secure the country." ! Most of the people who have studied here are from aristocratic families. I think the Lord’s attitude towards aristocratic families is also their concern!”
"Alas! If the aristocratic family is not eliminated, the world will never have peace!" Cheng Feng sighed.
"Lord, why did you say this?" Tian Yu was shocked. Although he knew that Cheng Feng didn't want to see the family, he didn't expect to be so afraid!
"Aristocratic families are like maggots on the tarsus, with constraints everywhere! Each puts their own interests first and monopolizes the economic and cultural fields. How can the world be peaceful if they control the government?" Cheng Feng sighed.
"Having said that, most of the world is now in the hands of aristocratic families. If the Lord wants to achieve great things, he needs to rely on the power of aristocratic families. Only in this way can he get twice the result with half the effort! Only then can he quickly establish his own power!" Tian Yu said
"Alas! Guo Rang. I understand what you said, but if this is true, how is it different from the imperial court? When the time comes, we will have to look at the faces of the aristocratic families! Look at the officials of this big man, except me, who A person who is not from aristocratic family! Who doesn’t take into account the interests of aristocratic family, how can he think about the people and benefit them!" Cheng Feng became more and more excited as he spoke.
"But lord, what can we do? We have supplies now, but these can't last long. If lord's idea is to follow, this will definitely be a protracted war. We can't keep grabbing supplies! Besides, wait until peace The religion is destroyed. Where are we going to grab supplies? The aristocratic family is already on the opposite side of us. I'm afraid we will be under even greater pressure by then! And there are these literati and lofty ideals. Nowadays, most of them are in the hands of the aristocratic family. How can we fight on multiple fronts? "Tian Yu said worriedly
"Then what do you think?" Cheng Feng said with a headache.
"Use gentle means to the aristocratic family, use it while suppressing it. If it is under our control, allow it to exist. If it hinders us, get rid of it!" Tian Yu was not a weak person, thought for a while and said
"Alas" Cheng Feng let out a long breath, "That's all we can do. It's best not to use it if possible. By the way, send more recruiting lists to Yingchuan. Most of the Yingchuan Academy there are poor people!"
"But this Yingchuan Academy was indeed built by Mr. Shui Jing of the Sima family. Most of the students are from the local Xun family, Chen family, and Zhong family. Only a few of them are Bai Ding! We can only give it a try! See if it works It can't work!" Tian Yu was helpless,
"Actually, not all aristocratic families bring trouble to the imperial court. Some aristocratic families are still good to the people. Well, you can't kill them all with a stick. Look at those Qingming aristocratic families, they are still acceptable!" Cheng Feng thought for a while and said
"Yes! My lord, what you said makes sense!" Tian Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was really afraid that Cheng Feng would get into trouble!
"Haha. Okay, let's get to work!" Cheng Feng waved his hand
"Yes! Lord"
Half of the counselors of the Three Kingdoms came from Yingchuan. Yingchuan County belonged to Yuzhou during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and its governance was in Yangzhai. The main part is in today's Yuzhou City, Henan Province. Yingchuan has been home to outstanding people since ancient times. Some very famous figures in history, such as Lu Buwei, Zhang Liang, Han Feizi, etc., all came from Yingchuan County. Since Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty (seven of the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai came from Yingchuan, second only to Liu Xiu's hometown of Nanyang), Yingchuan has become more talented. Especially by the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, it almost reached reached the peak. It is said that "half of the counselors in the Three Kingdoms came from Yingchuan". At least Cao Cao agreed with this, because most of Cao Cao's counselors came from this place. Actually, three of the five most famous counselors came from Yingchuan. In Cheng Feng's memory, during the Three Kingdoms period, Yingchuan produced eight most famous counselors: Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Guo Tu, Xu Shu, Chen Qun, Zhong Hui, and Xi Zhicai! There are also Sima Hui and others who are not in official positions. If they can be controlled, then others will probably stop playing. Within two years, Cheng Feng will feel that he can sweep the world! Thinking of this, Cheng Feng was suddenly startled, "Sima family, should I destroy them first?" After all, he knew the future historical development. This family can be said to have brought devastating disaster to the Han people. Should he destroy them first? It's strangled in the cradle! Suddenly Cheng Feng felt a palpitation in his heart, "Forget it, let's just accept the situation as it comes!"
"Haha, Fengxiao. I see that Chengfeng has been in a turmoil recently and is thirsty for talents. It seems that he is your wise master!" Xun Yu said to a dissolute scribe in Yingchuan Academy with a smile.
"Wen Ruo won't be tempted?" said a person next to him.
"Alas! I come from an aristocratic family. Cheng Feng has always wanted to eradicate the aristocratic family. I'm afraid he won't reuse me."
"I think Wen Ruo is worried too much. Although you are from the Yingchuan family, you have never done anything to bring harm to your hometown! Besides, you, Xun Wenruo, are a talented person and only have the imperial court in your heart! If Cheng Feng still looks down on you, this person It’s hard to become a great person,” Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Alas! Cheng Feng's recruiting list can bring the people of the world to their hearts, but it will also unite the major families. If we go there, we will be able to compete with the aristocratic families in the future!" Xun You also said, regardless of Xun Yu's age. It's almost the same, but there's a generation gap between them. This Xun Yu is from the uncle's generation! "Uncle, why don't you wait a moment and take a look before talking?"
"Now we are all successful in our studies. As the ancients said, we learned arts and martial arts and sold them to the emperor's family! Chengfeng is indeed caring for the people. The only thing I worry about is his attitude towards us. This troubled world is coming soon. When the time comes for heroes to appear everywhere, who you choose to be the master will depend on your vision!" Xi Zhicai said with a smile.
"Haha! I, Guo Jia, am alone. I don't want to be famous, I just want to show my ambition!" Guo Jia laughed and took a sip of wine.
"Everyone, I would like to go to Changshan to give it a try and see how the seal is like?" Xu Shu suddenly stood up and said,
"Oh! Where is Yuan Zhi going to Chengfeng?" Several people were a little surprised. After all, they still knew about Xu Shu's ability, but recently someone was carrying a life on his body, so he changed his name to come here. If he goes out now, he might be caught. , that would be too risky!
"Yuan Zhi, should we be careful?" Xun Yu asked worriedly
"It doesn't matter, I'll go with Yuan Zhi," Guo Jiahao said confidently
"Huh?" Everyone was a little surprised now.
"Now that the world is unstable, from what I see, Zhang Jiao's Taiping Rebellion is just around the corner, and the chaos is about to begin! You don't have much time left for us to choose. I know that you are all great talents, and you also have your own It's your choice. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, I hope you won't show mercy!" Guo Jiadao
"This? Feng Xiao has decided to follow Cheng Feng?" Xun Yu was really a little surprised now. After all, he hadn't seen anyone yet?
"No matter who you follow, we will never get together to drink and chat about big things like now!" Guo Jiadao, "Moreover, the Emperor Star is dim, and the time has come for the heroes to compete. I advise you, no matter who wins in the end, Everyone should be kind to the people!"
"Yeah! That makes sense!" Everyone nodded.
"There is no banquet in the world that must come to an end. Everyone, I hope you can realize your ambitions!" Xu Shu said, cupping his fists.
Watching the two of them walk away, Xun Yu felt the most complicated, because he sincerely wanted to serve the Han Dynasty, and he had received news from his family that he would soon join the court as an official. Most of the people in this academy wanted to join the imperial court. toward. It’s just Guo Jia, Xu Shu and Zhicai who no one recommends! I originally planned to make a joke today to relieve Guo Jia's depression, but I didn't expect the two of them to be so determined and go directly to Changshan! "Oh! I hope Chengfeng is really a loyal minister, otherwise he will be a really difficult opponent when he meets Fengxiao in the future!" Thinking of his good friend's talent and character, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Fengxiao? Why are you so anxious about each other? It's not too late to come back after I inquire about the news?" Xu Shu was puzzled on the way.
"To be fair to Yuan Zhi, now you and I are the only three people in the entire academy who are still white. The children of their aristocratic families are already preparing to join the court as officials. After all, you and I are not from aristocratic families!" Guo Jia smiled bitterly.
"Haha, so what, do you and I still care about this? Fame, wealth and fortune are within easy reach for you and me! So what if we have an aristocratic family? One day, we will definitely overthrow these people who are just a slave to the common people!" Xu Shu said bitterly
"Haha, Yuan Zhi said this very happily. I know that Yuan Zhi hates the family deeply, so we have decided to overthrow them!" Guo Jia smiled and stretched out his hand, and the two high-fived and laughed.
Xu Shu was deeply persecuted by the aristocratic family and knew the dangers of the aristocratic family, but Guo Jia was also oppressed. Although he was dissolute, he was a smart person, and some things are self-evident!
"Let's go! Let's go to Changshan and see how this Xiaoyao Hou is doing. Xiaoyao Hou, haha, if he can really be Xiaoyao, how can he be a Marquis?" Guo Jiadao
"Haha, it makes sense, it makes sense! Let's go!" Xu Shu laughed.
"Hmph! Recruiting talents! This Chengfeng is getting more and more noisy. I tell the family members not to have any contact with this Chengfeng. Also, it's time to promote filial piety and integrity again. Select the confidants in the territory. , recommend it! Also, the imperial west garden is going to be expanded, and the children of the family should be pushed in, and the quotas must be filled first!" This is the recent voice of the aristocratic families, and all the major aristocratic families have unanimously set their sights on the imperial court. He only cares about placing his own confidants in the court. Only in this way can he compete with the coming Lord Zhou Mu! Although the imperial edict has been issued! However, due to typhoid fever, only Liu Yan took office, and the other state pastors were still taking over! The major families quickly safeguarded their own interests in order to gain the upper hand in the next confrontation. As for Cheng Feng, they simply ignored it. What kind of storm could a small Changshan be able to overcome? Block jokes and see who you can recruit!
"Brother, what does it mean to be on the merit list? Is he going to deal with us?" Zhang Liang roared in Julu City.
"Of course it is. Cheng Feng already knows the news that we are going to rebel. But he doesn't know the specific time yet, so he said he should recruit people quickly now. It seems we have to speed up too!" Zhang Jiao was helpless. This third brother just can’t think straight!
"Brother, do we have to change our plan? After all, we chose Yecheng, but if the Jizhou believers make any move, the news will be leaked too easily!" Zhang Bao said
"Yeah. That's right. In this way, some believers from the south of the Yellow River will be transferred to pretend to be refugees and come to Yecheng to start an uprising. We in Jizhou will stand still. Also, those 200,000 elites must be in our own hands!" Zhang Jiao thought! After thinking about it, he said
"Brother, don't worry. We have arranged for Zhang Mancheng to take 50,000 people to Nanyang, Jingzhou, and Bo Cai to take 50,000 people to Qingzhou. We have brought 100,000 to Jizhou, and Bai Bo has been placed in Sizhou. There are still hundreds of thousands of believers in Dongjun. We have to figure it out. Come down, let’s go with 800,000 believers! These 200,000 most loyal followers have all been trained!” Zhang Bao said with a smile.
"Well! That's good. We'll just wait until something happens. I'm a little excited just thinking about it!" Zhang Jiao said with a smile, which made several people laugh.
"Your Majesty, the war in the northwest is a bit tense. Han Sui is powerful and has defeated Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song in a row! From time to time, he attacks and plunders the land of the three assistants!" Zhang Rang said
"Oh! What should we do then?" Emperor Ling raised his head and asked
"Why don't you ask Cheng Feng to launch a crusade?" Zhang Rang suggested.
"No! Chengfeng I will be of great use!" Ling Emperor frowned, it seems that he has encountered a difficult problem. "Let's do this. Let's deploy half of Xiyuan's elite soldiers and generals to quell the chaos!"
"This, yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Rang was really scared, because Han Sui was using the slogan of killing eunuchs! If they really come calling, the emperor might actually push himself out and behead him! Thinking of this, I quickly quit and went to discuss it with others.
"Master Zhang, what did your Majesty say?" Zhao Zhong asked
"Alas, Your Majesty will divide half of Xiyuan's troops to quell the rebellion."
"What, it's only half, how can that be enough? No, Mr. Zhang, please think of a way quickly?" Duan Gui asked anxiously.
"How about letting Cheng Feng quell the chaos?" one person suggested.
"No, your majesty has an order. If you become an official, you can only send someone else!" Zhang Rang said quickly. Although he was brave, he still had to obey your majesty's order, because he always remembered that he could have all this. It depends on your Majesty!
"Why don't we send someone to Zhao'an and make Han Sui General of Zhenxi. How about we see?" Cao Jie said.
"We can only give it a try!" Zhang Rang said
"Brother, someone outside said they are here to see you!" Cheng Feng was preparing the ingredients for hot pot when suddenly Zhao Yun came and said
"Oh! Who is it?"
"He said his name was Shan Fu!" Zhao Yundao said
"Who?" Cheng Feng was so shocked that he almost cut himself with a knife, "Please come in quickly, no, I will invite you myself!" Cheng Feng was overjoyed.
Cheng Feng came from a distance and looked at Xu Shu, because he didn't know that Guo Jia was also here. At the same time, he was also thinking about Xu Shu in history. Dong) was a counselor under Liu Bei in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He later returned to Cao Cao and served in Cao Wei. In his early years, Shi Guangyuan from Tongjun took refuge in Jingzhou and had close contacts with Taoist friends such as Sima Hui and Zhuge Liang. When Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye, Xu Shu went to seek refuge and recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei. When Xu Shu went south, his mother was captured by Cao Cao, so Xu Shu had no choice but to say goodbye to Liu Bei and enter Cao's camp. Later, this incident was artistically processed into afterthoughts such as "Xu Shu entered Cao Ying without saying a word", which was widely circulated.
"Shan Fu, Guo Jia, my lord!" The two of them saluted, and at the same time they were a little surprised. He was too young. He was wearing an apron, could he still be cooking?
Cheng Feng's heart skipped a beat, who? Guo Jia? Why is Guo Jia here again? It seems God is taking care of me. Ha ha! "Both of you, please get up quickly!" Cheng Feng calmed down his excited heart, but his trembling hands could not be steady for a while, and they only wondered what they saw, this baby is not sick!
"Two gentlemen, my eldest brother heard you coming, but he was so excited that he didn't even change his clothes!" Zhao Yun joked on the side because he saw Cheng Feng's excitement and knew that a big shot was here!
"Zilong, hurry up and invite Wen Yuan and the others. Let's eat and chat later. Gentlemen, please hurry up!" Cheng Feng said, holding one by the other and heading straight to the hall.
