Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Cao Shuo explained: "Yuan Shu abandoned Nanyang County, ran to Yangzhou, and occupied Runan County, the old foundation of the Yuan family."

"I predict that he will become the largest force south of the Huai River within two years."

Xun Yu said: "Yuan Shu is narrow-minded, and he is very happy with his achievements. The Jiangnan area is not like the north where all the heroes stand side by side, and is rarely affected by wars. This provides him with convenient conditions, but he is by no means the biggest opponent of the lord."

"Tao Qian from Xuzhou and Liu Dai from Yanzhou are mediocre people. They can't beat Liu Bei at all. The subordinates don't suggest that the lord let Liu Bei develop. The so-called indulgence of the enemy will be a disaster for generations. I hope the lord thinks twice."

Cao Shuo explained: "Wen Ruo, don't worry, listen to me. Xuzhou Tao Qian has a good relationship with Yuan Shao and Liu Bei. If Liu Bei became the governor of Yuzhou, with Liu Bei's hypocritical character, he would definitely not attack Xuzhou."

"But the relationship between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu is not good. In this way, Liu Bei can more or less check and balance Yuan Shu's development."

"Also, even if Liu Bei became the governor of Yuzhou, he didn't have much land. Cao Cao controlled Pei and Liang. Even if Liu Bei was the governor of Yuzhou, he didn't dare to ask for them."

All the counselors nodded. Pei Guo and Liang Guo are the old roots of Cao Cao. The Cao family has lived in Qiao County for generations. But also face Cao Shuo's revenge.

However, Runan County is in the hands of Yuan Shu, and Liu Bei actually doesn't have much territory. It is impossible for him to completely control Yuzhou with only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

After Cao Shuo's analysis, everyone understood that he put Liu Bei in Yuzhou, which can be said to check and balance the development of a group of people.

Cao Shuo continued: "What we have to do right now is not to let Liu Bei take off too fast. There are many talented people in Yingchuan. The Xun family has been operating in Yingchuan for many years. I wonder if my lords can recommend some more talents from Yingchuan. , broke the wings of Liu Bei's rise!"

In Cao Shuo's impression, Xun Yu recommended many talents to Cao Cao, such as Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Zhong Yao, Du Xi, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu and others.

But now that Zhong Yao followed Dong Zhuo to Chang'an, it was impossible to recruit him.

Du Xi took refuge in Jingzhou, and only Guo Jia, Chen Qun, and Cheng Yu were idlers.

For the remaining few, if Xun Yu can introduce two or three, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to find suitable counselors.

Xun Yu said: "The subordinates recommend a person to the lord. This person has the talent for governing the world. Because the Xun family has a good relationship, he may be able to be used by the lord."

"Who?"

Cao Shuo looked at Xun Yu expectantly, could it be Guo Jia?
Xun Yu replied, "Chen Qun, the eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Ji, is a prominent family in Yingchuan."

Cao Shuo did not expect that Xun Yu's first recommendation would be Chen Qun. After Xun Yu's death, the Chen family became the largest family in Yingchuan. .

Cao Shuo asked eagerly, "Where is he now?"

"Study in Yingchuan Hermit, if the master is interested, I can write to him and ask him to come to Jizhou."

"Then thank you Wen Ruo!"

Cao Shuo waited for a long time, but Xun Yu was not recommending anyone else, so he continued, "Everyone, don't limit yourself to Yingchuan. I have a shortage of talents. You have talents you know. Just recommend them, and I will never treat them badly."

Lieutenant Han Haojin said: "My lord, when the general was in Hanoi County, he heard that the Sima clan of Hanoi had a large number of talents. The former Henan Yin Sima Fang abandoned his official position and took refuge in Liyang with his family. Why didn't you recruit them?"

"Sima Fang?"

Cao Shuo couldn't help frowning, the Cao family and the Sima family were feuds, and as a descendant, he certainly knew about Sima Fang.

Sima Fang's second son, Sima Yi, was the overthrower of the Cao Wei regime. This guy had great ambitions since he was a child.

Because Cao Cao controlled the regime of the Han Dynasty and coerced the emperor to order the princes, Cao Cao expropriated him many times, but he refused with various excuses.

Later, Cao Cao forcibly appointed Sima Yi, and this guy went so far as to be brave. In Cao Cao's old age, he supported Cao Cao to proclaim himself emperor, gained Cao Cao's trust, and gradually took control of military power.

Sima Yi is a double-edged sword. It is a sharp weapon if used well, but it will hurt the owner if used poorly.

But now Sima Yi is only in his teens, maybe under his "careful teaching", it is possible to become his right-hand man.

Cao Shuo looked at Han Hao and said, "Yuan Si, you can handle this matter!"

"promise!"

"Lord!"

Cao Shuo waited for a long time, and when there was no one to recommend, Zhao Yun suddenly spoke.

"What's the matter with Zilong?"

"My lord, my elder brother Zhao Feng has fully recovered. He has practiced martial arts since childhood, and his martial arts skills are not inferior to Xia Houlan. I want him to be a lieutenant by my side."

Cao Shuo's eyes lit up, if he is not under Xia Houlan, you let him be a lieutenant general?This is not Qucai.

"Qinghe Kingdom is currently short of a Lieutenant of the Kingdom. I will appoint him as the Lieutenant of the Kingdom of Qinghe Kingdom, and you can let him take up the post."

"Thank you my lord!"

"My lords, is there anyone else you want to recommend?"

After recommending several people in succession, Cao Shuo was a little flustered. It would be even better if Guo Jia could come. With this group of think tanks and his cavalry advantage, even if he had a head-on confrontation with Dong Zhuo, he still had a slight chance of winning.

Then everyone shook their heads, this talent is not so easy to find, not to mention that in the troubled times now, some great sages choose to hide from the world.

Cao Shuo continued: "Although Hanoi County is governed by Lu Bu's general Gao Shun, he has already joined our army. There is a lack of a civil servant who can handle political affairs for him. I wonder if you have a suitable candidate?"

Three days ago, Cao Shuo recruited nearly [-] recruits and sent them to Hanoi County, asking Gao Shun to train his soldiers.

He, Ju Yi, and Gao Shun are the only ones under him who can train the elite. Zhang Yun and Zhao Yun are a little behind.

Xun Yu suggested: "My lords, perhaps Chen Qun is competent. After all, he has never served under the lord's tent, and the other princes don't know him well."

Xun You agreed: "Chen Changwen is the best candidate, this will not make Dong Zhuo suspicious."

"Okay, let Chen Qun go to Hanoi County to serve. On the surface, Gao Shun is the governor of Hanoi County, but Gao Shun is only responsible for training soldiers, and entrusts Chen Qun with all government affairs."

"promise!"

"Report, there is a person outside the mansion who claims to be the lord's old friend and wants to see the lord!"

"who?"

Cao Shuo looked depressed. Does he have any old friends? Could it be someone from the Cao family?
"My lord, the other party did not report their name!"

"Let him in!"

Cao Shuo began to think hard. The relationship network of the former host was not complicated, and most of the contacts were Cao family members.

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't think of where I had an old friend.

After a while, a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, led by the guards, came to the lobby.
