Diao Chan had just conquered Yuzhou and captured Yuan Shu. It was time to stabilize the rule. The territory she obtained was not for nothing. She not only wanted to absorb the local talents in Yuzhou, but also wanted to poach Yuan Shu's corner.

Although Yuan Shu himself is self-willed and arrogant, he has a lot of talents under his command. In addition to the former general Ji Ling, there are also famous generals such as Zhang Xun, Chen Lan, Le Jiu, and Han Hao. Among the counselors, the counselor Yuan Shu relies on most is the old man Yang Hong. This Yang Hong is a stubborn old man with a sharp mouth. I heard that he has never lost in a fight with others. The mother's coffin board is really an old / rascal / hooligan, no, an old man who doesn't care about trivial matters.

Diao Chan was particularly interested in Yang Hong, and she called Yang Hong alone to ask him: "Mr. Yang is famous far and wide, and he is very good at governing Yuzhou. The people around praise you when they mention you. Even several celebrities in Yingchuan Everyone praises you very much, I want to enlist you to continue to be the magistrate of Yuzhou, and I don't know if Mr. Yang is willing to serve me?"

Yang Hong has a stubborn temper and doesn't care about anyone. He just "loves miserably" Yuan Shu. He is used to wiping Yuan Shu's ass/butt and cleaning up the mess for Yuan Shu. It is no surprise that he would reject Diao Chan. What is even more annoying is that Yang Hong The old man Hong's tone is aggressive and offending, he doesn't give Diao Chan any face at all!

As an old pedant, Yang Hong is familiar with the classical sayings, and the words are "unfathomable" and make people feel "unclear"!

For example, when he ridiculed Diao Chan, he used literal words, roughly translated to mean...

"I have been Yuan Gong's counselor for so many years, and I have never served two masters. I am old and need face. I can't do such a thing of one daughter and two marriages. As a woman, Youzhou Mu should understand that a daughter What does it feel like to get married twice? If it spreads out, everyone in the world will laugh at it. Look at me, I forgot. Youzhou Mu is old, and he hasn’t married yet! How do you know the feeling of being married? No one would dare to want such a strong woman like you. If you defeat the lord today, you will fight Cao Cao tomorrow, and Yuan Shao the day after tomorrow. When you hold the whole world in your hands, all the men in the world will come without a wave , the right is there, many people recommend themselves, no wonder Youzhou Mu is so keen to be that master!"

Yang Hong sprayed the venom, saliva flew all over the place, and ridiculed the yin and yang, which killed the counselors around Diao Chan.

Zhao Yun put his hand on the saber at his waist calmly. Although he used marksmanship on weekdays, he had two spare swords with him. They were the one plus two combo set made by Diao Chan himself for him. It is suitable for comprehensive comprehensive multi-faceted operations.

At this moment, Zhao Yun, who was also a little angry, thought about the possibility of using Yang Hong to sacrifice to heaven.

Zhao Yun went to see Diao Chan again, and found that she was not angry at all, and secretly sighed her growth over the years.

She is no longer the domineering king who said nothing according to her will, and her heart has been cultivated to the state where she is not influenced by external objects. With such a mind and wisdom, it is no wonder that even if she has never shown strong strength So many people came to follow her continuously.

Zhao Yun observed Diao Chan carefully, and found that there was a trace of bewilderment in her expression.

With a twitch in his heart, an absurd thought flashed across: Could it be that the reason why Chan Chan isn't angry is because he didn't understand?

It was not far from what Zhao Yun thought. Diao Chan understood about half of Yang Hong's meaning. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked Yang Hong, "You mean to protect Yuan Shu like a jade? Then you are really a 'virtuous and chaste woman' .”

Yang Hong choked on Diao Chan's irony, his face flushed with anger, and he opened his mouth to spray Diao Chan.

Diao Chan shook his head: "Mr. Yang still doesn't understand? Yuan Shu is under my command now, and he is a prisoner of war. Our rule is that prisoners of war have to farm for three years before they can be free. Since you want to stay by Yuan Shu's side all the time, I I don't stop you, but farming is very hard, how can it be easier to sit in an office? After you become an official, you can also take care of your old master in the future, right?"

Yang Hong was startled, he looked at Diao Chan hesitantly, and doubted what she said.

Didn't this Youzhou shepherd intend to kill the lord?

Diao Chan himself was not angry, but other officials under his command were angry, especially Mi Heng, who had already recognized Diao Chan as the lord, and Mi Heng, who was also a poisonous tongue and never shy when talking about others, also became angry.

He was also a straightforward character, pointing at Yang Hong, he yelled: "You have to be ashamed? It is the kindness of the lord not to kill Yuan Shu. The old man can humiliate the lord, and the head falls in a moment."

Yang Hong's temper came up: "I am not afraid of life and death, I keep my integrity for my master, and I will never serve the second master lightly!"

In short, he is determined to follow Yuan Shu, and he will never turn to Diao Chan.

The rest of the people stared at Mi Heng in amazement, this Mi Heng was too ungrateful, the lord hadn't spoken yet, so why should he talk so much!Judging from the meaning of the lord, it is obvious that he wants to recruit Yang Hong as a subordinate. Now that he has offended him, it is really more than success than failure.

Mi Heng sensed the annoyance of the crowd, so he reacted suddenly, conditioned to look at Diao Chan's expression, he was terrified, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hesitantly called out: "My lord..."

"I see that Mr. Yang has made up his mind. Since that's the case, I won't force you. When Yuan Shu is farming, you can help him. I'll wait for the day when you change your mind."

Diao Chan waved her hand, signaling Mi Heng to be quiet first, and after she asked Yang Hong to leave, the rest of the people chattered.

"This Yang Hong is too ignorant of flattery! I'm so angry, if the lord is not polite to him, I would want to beat him up!" Zhang Fei yelled.

"My lord just took Yuzhou, and there are still many disobedient people trying to resist you. Why don't you use this Yang Hong to make an example to others? Even Yuan Shu, he is very ambitious. If you let the tiger go back to the mountain, he will definitely make a comeback. Why don't you kill him!"

Guan Yu frowned, and severely reprimanded You Heng: "You Heng committed a big taboo, the lord has not yet spoken, how can a subordinate speak, this is a passover, and it is not something a polite scholar should do."

Mi Heng blushed, her already arrogant temper was criticized face to face, almost losing face, she opened her mouth to fight back against Guan Yu.

This Guan Yu is also a straightforward character, and Ni Heng is also a straightforward character. If two stubborn people meet together, can't they die together?

Diao Chan bypassed Mi Heng's offensive move and brought the topic back to the right path: "Yang Hong can't be killed, and neither can Yuan Shu."

"My lord! The enemies are staring at us like jackals. Now that we have caught them, what if we let them go?"

Diao Chan asked back: "Do I seem to be someone who would let the enemy go? As I said before, I plan to send Yuan Shu to farm."

Xun Chen said slowly: "My lord is kind, but Yang Hong and Yuan Shu may not be grateful to you. Many people in Yuzhou have never returned their hearts. Once they find a chance, they will definitely resist you."

"The first time you win a place is to get in touch with the local local snakes, find people who are willing to support you, and deter those who try to resist you. Now you treat the enemy with gentle means. Although you have a reputation for benevolence, there will be endless troubles. !"

Xun Chen had warned Diao Chan before not to be too kind to a woman, and he always felt that Diao Chan was too merciful.

Diao Chan almost didn't know how to write the word benevolence.

Diao Chan looked at Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun met her gaze, knowing her plan already.

He calmly said to everyone: "My lord's intention is to prepare for digging out more talents under the hands of other princes in the future."

As expected of a cicada, foresight has come to this point!

After all, it was Zhao Yun who understood Diao Chan's heart best, and she said jokingly: "I have never shied away from my desire to unify the world in front of you, just as you imagined, I will conquer Jizhou, Bingzhou, Yanzhou, and Jingzhou in the future." , and even Sili, where Lu Bu is located, since I have become the biggest prince in the world, I have no way out, and the only way forward is to look forward."

Everyone nodded, full of confidence in Diao Chan. They now not only have elite soldiers and horses, but also sufficient food, a vast land, a wealth of talents, literati and military generals competing for splendor, which can be described as advanced configuration. They never doubt that the lord can fight for hegemony The strength of the world.

"But to conquer a territory, people have to be in charge. It is impossible for me to kill their lord every time I capture a person, and then kill important officials again. Repeat the action of killing chickens to scare monkeys. How many talents will be lost in this way? ah?"

Diao Chan invited her core subordinates to gather in one place, and once again began to develop her ideas.

"What do you think the princes of the world rely on to recruit talents?"

When Diao Chan asked, everyone was dumbfounded. Several literati were able to react, but they heard Zhou Yu answer: "Men are eager to make achievements, and promise power, wealth, and beauties. This is a common method for princes to recruit their generals. , in addition to this, there is also the reputation of being famous all over the world."

This is the same reason that companies rely on wages to recruit talents. Diao Chan asked again: "Geniuses don't worry about the opportunity to get ahead. Really high-end talents don't care about superficial things such as power, wealth, and beauties, because they are already powerful. They can get these things easily, just like Xun Yu who is beside Cao Cao, why does he follow Cao Cao all the time, he is loyal and never considers changing jobs?"

When Diao Chan mentioned the word job-hopping, Xun Chen's heart trembled when he said it.

"Don't think too much, You Ruo, I'm just giving a random example. After all, he is the most typical loyal minister and one of the high-end talents who cannot be easily poached. Let me give another example. If someone who is stronger than me appears in this world, the territory People who are older than me and have more troops than me, that person wants to poach Guo Fengxiao, do you think Fengxiao will agree?"

With Guo Jia's temperament, he might resign after Diao Chan's defeat, and never intervene in the officialdom.

Xun Chen was thoughtful: "To have a confidant in life is to keep people with friendship."

"Friendship is still too superficial. If a power wants to retain the most core high-end talents, it depends on recognition, the realization of long-cherished dreams, and a higher, spiritual cohesion," Diao Chan analyzed to them and said: " If I want to dig out talents, I also need to start from these aspects. I want financial rights to be in line with his own wealth and status. A higher level is to increase people's sense of belonging and mission to our camp from the spiritual level. Just like Yang Hong, he has a sense of mission towards Yuan Shu. Yang Hong has been loyal to Yuan Shu for decades, and he was a retainer of the Yuan family decades ago. He will not change his mind easily. I know that, but I still have to show The purpose of soliciting him is to show other Yuzhou talents!"

It's impossible for her to kill one talent by one person, and slaughter all disobedient people every time she conquers a territory, right?If you want to develop and gather strength, you don't need to kill all the talents and train new people who are not familiar with things!

"As many talented people as Yuan Shu has under his command, I want them all!"

Zhao Yun worriedly reminded: "My lord, if you do this, although the talents under your command will be gathered together, the relationship will be chaotic, forming cliques for private interests, and even in the end, you yourself will not be able to identify who is doing the right thing."

"That's why rules and regulations are needed. This is the basic guarantee for the operation of the system. Have you ever seen the Huns herd sheep?" Diao Chan chuckled: "When the Huns herd sheep, there is always a leader who takes the lead, and behind the flock there are mastiffs pressing on." Keep an eye on it, so that the flock will not disperse, and will always go in the direction led by the leader."

If a force wants to develop, it is not enough to have rules and regulations. It also needs inspectors and leaders. One is responsible for being the "leader" and the other is responsible for being the "mastiff". Nor will people lose their minds.To avoid the spread of panic, what is needed is a higher level of spiritual influence.

After Diao Chan had a heart-to-heart talk with his subordinates, the literati headed by Xun Chen half-understood. They seemed to have some understanding of Diao Chan's thoughts, but they seemed to be unable to grasp the key point.

Xun Chen suddenly realized that the lord's benevolence now is for the sake of being able to poach other people's corners in the future!

After the Yang Hong incident, Diao Chan left Mi Heng behind and had a face-to-face talk with him alone.

Mi Heng is a little embarrassed, he knows that he was rash and hasty before, and caused trouble because of his outspoken temper, but now his quick talk has caused trouble.

Diao Chan didn't feel angry, but enlightened Mi Heng and said: "Zhengping's temperament is as rigid as a bamboo, and if he is too rigid, he will break easily. Do you have any understanding of this sentence?"

Ni Heng's word is Zhengping, so he is getting close to him as a core official.

If Diao Chan showed even a trace of displeasure or alienation, Mi Heng would not have such a sincere and repentant attitude.

He is proud of his talents, honesty is his protective color, but his real temper is as sharp as a hedgehog, his words are harsh and there is no room for maneuver. Perhaps this has a lot to do with Mi Heng's growth experience since childhood.

His family is rich but he is despised by others, his parents died early and were looked down upon by wolves, he was self-taught without guidance, he is proud and inferior, forming his unique and sharp personality like a hedgehog.

"My lord, Heng knows that he is overstepping, and he is rude, so please punish him."

Mi Heng dared to do what he did. Although he didn't hear Diao Chanxing's words of guilt, he admitted his mistake and was willing to be punished.

"You are trying to defend me, but you are a bit impatient, but you are too young," Diao Chan said with a forgiving smile.

Diao Chan is not angry, impatient, and does not question the crime, but it makes Mi Heng even more sad.

He has experienced too much malice from the outside world, and now suddenly someone is tolerant of his vicious mouth and straightforwardness. Just such a heart is enough for Mi Heng to admire.

"I violated the majesty of the lord in public, and I overtook the lord in front of outsiders, but I was ashamed of the lord." You Heng said guiltily: "If the lord doesn't punish me, I may not be able to convince the public in the future. I know my mistake, and I am willing to accept the punishment. Please, my lord, don't show mercy."

Whether it was hitting the board or being punished to farm the land, Mi Heng recognized it. He kept in mind Guo Jia's tricks on him: You must not bully the lord because of her kindness, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

In short, I regret it, very sorry.

"Since you know your mistakes, why don't you write a [-]-word self-criticism. Next time you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is no better way to do it." Diao Chan lightly revealed the matter, changed his style of painting, and told You Heng: "Since you If you are willing to be punished, this punishment has to be carried out, and you will be punished by publishing the review letter to the public and posting it on the bulletin board of the yamen, and then you will be punished with a verbal warning, and you will be fined for one month's salary."

Compared with hitting the board and farming, this kind of punishment is really light.

Mi Heng was very moved, and he said excitedly: "Thank you for your love, my lord. Heng will try his best to restrain himself, get rid of the defects of being too rigid, and become a good minister who can share the worries of the lord as soon as possible!"

The next day, Mi Heng's letter of repentance appeared on the bulletin board, and there was a lot of public opinion among colleagues: "My lord, this punishment doesn't seem to be serious. For Mi Heng, who cares about face, it may be more uncomfortable than beating him!"

Everyone was talking, but they saw You Heng passing by without changing his face, without any intention of getting angry because of everyone's discussion.

Everyone was quiet for a moment, and no one said with emotion: "This Miheng seems to be different."

As time went by, Diao Chan finally put Yuzhou in a good shape. As soon as she took a breath, she heard that Zhao Yun had heard from a scout that he had brought cavalry to stop the enemy troops who were trying to cross the border of Yuzhou to Yanzhou. A pair of men and horses were rescued. The seriously injured man was Cao Cao whose armor was stained with blood and his sword was broken.

Lu Bu's army came under the pressure, Yuan Shao turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, Cao Cao's hometown was surrounded, and under the leadership of his subordinates, he stood out from the encirclement, looking back at the chasing soldiers outside, Cao Cao was disheartened, his foundation had been lost, he had no relatives and no friends , How to talk about a comeback.

Cao Cao, who was bankrupt, was rescued by Zhao Yun. When he saw Diao Chan, he simply broke his heart and said to her: "Lv Bu came to attack Yanzhou with a threatening manner. He gathered millions of troops on the border of Henan and Yanzhou. The power of Youzhou Mu has become so great. Lü Bu is afraid, and it is hard to be alone, if Youzhou Mu can help me rescue my advisers and subordinates, I will lead the generals of Yanzhou to join you, and Yanzhou will be yours from now on."

Diao Chan:? ? ?

"It's fine, why did Lu Bu come to attack Yanzhou? Isn't he just fighting with Yuan Shao?"

Diao Chan's doubts were so real that Cao Cao, who was seriously injured, was relieved: It seems that Diao Chan did not spread the news that he welcomed Emperor Han back.

At this loosening, Cao Cao, who had lost a lot of blood and stared at his eyes, tilted his head and passed out.

Diao Chan was shocked, the SSR delivered to her door hadn't glowed yet, how could she die? !

"Quickly, go and ask Miracle Doctor Hua to come!"

The author has something to say: Diao Chan: Could it be that I am the Chosen One, SSR delivered to my door? !

Guo Jia: Bah! ——
