Report

One by one, the Writ of Seeking Talents was spread out: Since ancient times, the Emperor who received the order to revive the country could not find a virtuous gentleman to rule the world with him! If he had not left the alley, how could he be lucky enough to meet him? Superior people do not seek for talents. Today is not yet decided, this is the urgent time to seek talents. "Meng Gongchuo is superior to Elder Zhao and Elder Wei, but not Teng Gongchuo and Xue Dafu." If only Lian and Xue were available, then how could Qi Huan dominate the world? Today, there is no one who was fished up by Tan Huai Yu and Wei Bin? Also, there is no one who stole the wife and received the gold, but did not meet the ignorant? With the help of two or three sons, I am able to distinguish between the ugly and the ugly, only the talented ones are chosen, and I will use them.

This Writ of Seeking Talents was not only spread in Hefei, Gushi and other places. Because Yang Hong used to be Yuan Shu's subordinate, he was very familiar with the whole Yangzhou. He had something that he did not tell Lü Bu but talked with Liu Mang alone. That is, he still kept Yuan Shu's former intelligence network in his hands! After Yuan Shu's death, those intelligence personnel had almost no value, but Yang Hong still insisted on providing them with money. Therefore, within a few days, the Writ of Seeking Talents had spread throughout Yangzhou. Even Shouchun was not spared! Even Runaway Liu's territory in Runan of Yuzhou had been posted! Several border cities in Cao Cao's Yanzhou were also posted.

Jiangdong, because of its location in Yangzhou, was also not spared! Jingzhou was even more important. Jiangdong and Jingzhou were at war, so Liu Biao did not have time to manage these things. Those Writ of Seeking Talents had almost become a nursery rhyme!

"Writ of Seeking Talents?!" Cao Cao was in Guandu for the past few days. Although Yuan Shao was attacking fiercely, it was impossible for him to give up on the surrounding information, especially the Lvbu's Army that he was afraid of. He now had a recruitment notice in his hand. "Only the talented?!" Cao Cao's gaze was very complicated. This Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang, was so bold! This recruitment order was a slap in the face of the nobles. Previously, the talents were all selected from the nobles. For example, the filial piety and honesty of the nobles, and the family recommendation system. Therefore, almost all of the officials were nobles! Even if there was a Humble Class, it would be the disciple of a certain noble family!

But now, Liu Mang was asking for talents! Regardless of your background or background, as long as you have talent, he will accept you! This was a complete provocation to the landowning households. If those commoners and peddlers were to occupy the official positions, what would the landowning households do? Could it be that the noble landowning households and peddlers were to be officials together?!

It was a provocation to the landowning households, but to the commoners, it was a blessing. Many of the commoners had been suffering because they did not have a family to rely on! For example, Guo Jia was previously under Yuan Shao. Because he was a commoner, he was only given the position of a lowly official! This was also because someone recommended him. Otherwise, Guo Jia might not even be able to enter the Yuan Shao's Army!

Liu Mang's recruitment order now gave the commoners a chance to display their talent. A chance to stand on the same starting line as the nobles, regardless of their background. Cao Cao could imagine how many commoners would join the Lvbu's Army if this was spread out! After all, even though the landowning households occupied most of the resources in the world, the commoners could not compare to their numbers!

Cao Cao admired Liu Mang a lot! Even though Cao Cao was one of the Three Dukes and was the Emperor, he did not dare to send out such a recruitment order! Because once it was sent out, the entire Yan Province and Xu Province, as long as it was under Cao Cao's rule, would be in chaos! Those landowning households would definitely abandon him without hesitation. Even if they did not say it openly, they would secretly contact the little Emperor or Yuan Shao! This would put an end to the landowning households becoming officials, or it could be said that the landowning households' natural privilege of becoming officials was taken away! Wasn't this making it clear that he was opposing the landowning households?!

According to the original trajectory, Cao Cao only dared to send out his first recruitment order in the 15th year of Jian 'an. At that time, Cao Cao had already pacified Hebei, destroyed Yuan Shao, and even fought the Battle of Red Cliffs. It could be said that Cao Cao's power was already the strongest in the world, occupying both the Central Plains and Hebei. This was the reason why Cao Cao dared to oppose the landowning households. At that time, the Cao Family was the strongest landowning household in the world. Naturally, he dared to send out such a recruitment order, and those landowning households did not dare to say anything! Then, in the 19th and 22nd years of Jian 'an, he sent out two more recruitment orders! These three recruitment orders added a lot of talents to Cao Jun's ranks. For example, Deng Ai. Although there were not many talents, the grassroots officials were really outstanding. This also laid the foundation for Cao Wei's unification of the three countries!

Because of this, Lao Cao occupied more than half of China's territory three times. In the end, when it came to his son, Cao Pi, he still could not withstand the pressure from the landowning households! In the end, he could only compromise and remove the recruitment order. In the end, Chen Qun's ninth-rank system was the main system! This really calmed the hearts of the landowning households!

And now, Liu Mang and the entire Lvbu's Army only occupied a few counties, not even half of Yangzhou. Liu Bei still occupied Shouchun. Such a power dared to oppose the landowning households in the world! Cao Cao did not know what to say about Liu Mang! Should he admire his courage, or disdain his lack of understanding of the situation?!

"Fengxiao, what do you think?!" Cao Cao turned to his number one strategist and asked Guo Fengxiao.

"Jia, Jia!" Guo Jia's expression was also very complicated. How could Guo Jia not see the benefits of this recruitment order? If he had appeared a few years earlier, perhaps even Guo Jia would have been moved. These commoners just wanted to have a place to display their talents! However, Guo Jia also knew that Liu Mang's behavior was really anxious! For the Lvbu's Army, it should be a mixed blessing! The good thing was that the commoners in the world would go for such a thing! Such a group of talents made even Guo Jia jealous. The bad thing was that the Lvbu's Army had completely lost the support of the landowning households! At the very least, His Highness the King Of Shu had become the public enemy of the landowning households in the world! Previously, Cao Cao was afraid that the King Of Shu would establish a new Han Court with the help of others! This was because Liu Mang's reputation as the King Of Shu was really good! Whether it was military or other aspects, he was much better than the Han Emperor Liu Xie in Xu Du. If the Yuan Shao really sent a messenger to contact the Lvbu's Army to make Liu Mang the emperor, then this position would be really awkward!

But now, this threat no longer existed. It was impossible for these nobles to allow someone who stood against them to become the emperor!

"My lord! We should help His Highness the King Of Shu to release this recruitment order! "Guo Jia had already thought of this decision! Since His Highness the King Of Shu was not afraid of offending all the landowning households in the world, then he might as well offend all of them! Guo Jia also wanted to see how far the King Of Shu could go!

"Good! Let's do as Fengxiao says! " Cao Cao also knew that Guo Jia had his own selfish motives. He was a commoner and naturally knew how it felt to have no one to rely on! Therefore, he wanted to release this recruitment order. This was Cao Cao's territory. If Cao Cao really wanted to stop these recruitment orders, he would definitely not be able to enter! Cao Cao also agreed to give Guo Jia hope! Secondly! He also wanted the King Of Shu to offend all the landowning households in the world! If he offended all the landowning households in the world, how could His Highness the King Of Shu and his father-in-law fight for hegemony!

Cao Cao played the role of a good person and directly asked the bookmakers to copy Liu Mang's recruitment order countless times and distribute it in the big cities like Xu Du and Chenliu. There were also many posters in the small places!

-----

Jingzhou Xiangyang, Liu Residence!

Liu Biao also received the recruitment order. After he finished reading it, he passed it to the people around him, such as Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and Kuai Liang.

"Yidu, what do you think of this recruitment order?" Liu Biao asked Kuai Yue with a smile.

"Sigh!" Kuai Yue sighed and shook his head. Originally, he had a good impression of the King Of Shu. Although he fought with Liu Biao's Army, he was used as a weapon by Sun Ce and Huang She was too much. Otherwise, they would not have fought! As a relative of the Han dynasty, the King Of Shu had also shown great talent since his ancestors! It could be said that the landowning households had a good influence on the King Of Shu. Previously, the landowning households of Jingzhou had joined forces to help the King Of Shu, Liu Biao, and the Lvbu's Army. But now! The King Of Shu was still standing on the opposite side of everyone!

"What about Zhongde?" Liu Biao was very happy! As a relative of the Han dynasty, he naturally knew that this title could be used for righteousness and could even gain a group of foolishly loyal people! Otherwise, Liu Bei would not keep saying that he was the descendant of Zhongshan's King Jing! In terms of nobility, the King Of Shu, Liu Mang's title was much higher than his Imperial Uncle! In terms of official position, Liu Mang was the General of the Southern Expedition. This position was in charge of Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Yizhou, Yangzhou, and the four provinces! Liu Biao was also Liu Mang's subordinate! But now! The King Of Shu had dug his own grave. Once this recruitment order was released, the landowning households in the world would not support Liu Mang! Liu Biao was very happy now! Although the huge casualties from the frontline made him very uncomfortable, Sun Ce's navy was also the same!

"Hmph! This brat is incompetent! "Cai Mao did not hold back. Liu Mang's recruitment order affected the interests of the landowning households, so Cai Mao was very disdainful. Fortunately, Cai Mao had always wanted to wait for the outcome of the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in Guandu. In the end, the Cai family would support whoever won. This way, the Cai family would still be the number one family in Jingzhou!

"Haha!" Liu Biao was in a good mood. "Since the King Of Shu wants talents so much, then as his uncle, I should help my nephew. Men! Make a few hundred copies of this recruitment order and distribute it to the entire Jingzhou! "

Sun Ce also did the same thing as Liu Biao! In order to help Liu Mang's reputation, they spared no effort!

In Jingzhou's Nanyang, a young man with a feather fan who was packing his luggage also received the recruitment order! Originally, he was about to pack his luggage and leave. Looking at the contents of the recruitment order, he could not help but smile bitterly. "My lord, my lord, what are you doing! Do you really not want the great cause of this world anymore? "

"Sir, everything is packed!" A boy servant came in and bowed to the young man with a feather fan. "Sir, Yangzhou is very far away from Jingzhou. You must take good care of yourself on the road!" This boy servant had been following the young man with a feather fan for almost ten years! Naturally, he had some feelings. This sir was leaving and leaving him to take care of the hut was naturally a bit sad!

"I know! We are not leaving! "The young man with a feather fan put down the recruitment order in his hand.

"Not leaving? Really, sir? "The boy servant's face was full of surprise." I will go put down the things and prepare to cook for you! "

"I mean, I am not going to Yangzhou! Let's go, we are going to Xiangyang! "The young man with a feather fan said to his servant.

"Xiangyang?" The boy servant was very puzzled. Why go to Xiangyang? Was he going to see the Master?

"Yes, Xiangyang!" The young man with a feather fan could not help but sigh. He originally planned to go to Yangzhou, but now he could not go to Yangzhou! At least, he could not go there now. He had to help him do something that he could not do now!

"My lord! My lord, I hope you will not disappoint Liang! "The great cause of Jingzhou depends on Liang!
