Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 52 Visiting the Talented
"Well, this is a good plan, but who should be sent to do it?" Yuan Wei nodded and asked.

Yuan Shu quickly said, "My cousin Yuan Huan, although not a core member of the Yuan family, is a close branch member. He can represent the Yuan family to contact the Taishan Yellow Turbans and the aristocratic families of Taishan County.

At the same time, Yuan Huan also possesses the secret technique of inlaying dragons, which is perfect for supporting the Yellow Turbans at Mount Tai!"

"Well, very good. Then let Yuan Huan go and handle this matter. Go to the secret library to get the Ruyi cloth bag and give it to him. Tell him that if he can accomplish this, I will reward him handsomely!" Yuan Wei said.

Yuan Shu was overjoyed and said quickly, "Please rest assured, uncle. I will definitely pass this message on!"

After saying this, he glanced complacently at Yuan Shao who was standing next to him.

He had always been at odds with Yuan Shao, and felt that a bastard like Yuan Shao was not qualified to be compared with himself.

But everyone was blind before and actually thought that Yuan Shao was more capable than him. This was really outrageous!
However, a journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character.

Yuan Shao, this bastard, is really not presentable. His true colors are exposed when something goes wrong.

In the end, I still have to clean up the mess!

After this incident, let’s see who dares to say that he, Yuan Gonglu, is not as good as Yuan Benchu!
Yuan Shao was extremely angry when he saw Yuan Shu's unscrupulous provocation.

But this wasn't even the right time to explode, so he forced himself to restrain himself.

It was not until Yuan Wei said the four words "Let's all go" that he left the Taifu Mansion with everyone else.

That night, at the Sili Xiaowei Mansion.

While Yuan Shao ordered his servants to pack his luggage, he wrote a document of resignation.

After the document was finished, Xu You was summoned.

“You already know what happened today.

I'll be leaving town early tomorrow morning.

"This is my written resignation document. Please give it to His Majesty after I leave the city!" Yuan Shao handed the resignation document to Xu You and said.

Xu You was astonished and said, "My lord, even if you really want to leave Luoyang City, why are you so anxious?

Why not stay in Luoyang for a few more days? Perhaps there will be a chance for this matter to turn around?"

"That's impossible. I know my uncle's character. He always does things in a way that is either not done at all or absolutely necessary!
Since you have decided to let me leave Luoyang City, you will never change your decision!

"If I stay in Luoyang for another day, it will only make him more angry. It's better to leave as soon as possible so that we can ease the relationship and wait for the future!" Yuan Shao shook his head.

Xu You was speechless and choked up, "My Lord..."

"Don't act like a child. I left Luoyang City so quickly for another reason."

Yuan Shao waved his hand, blocking Xu You's remaining words, and spoke with a burning gaze.

Xu You was stunned and asked, "What is your purpose, my lord?"

"My goal is too big. As long as I don't leave Luoyang City, many people will be looking at me, making it difficult for me to do anything.

Only if I leave Luoyang City can you act more conveniently!
So I left Luoyang City early to save you time!" Yuan Shao said.

Xu You asked, "What does my lord want me to do?"

"I want you to try to inform Ji Qiu about what happened today!" Yuan Shao said.

Xu You said in astonishment: "Notify Ji Qiu?"

"That's right. Yuan Gonglu asked Yuan Huan to deal with Ji Qiu. If this succeeds, my uncle will definitely promote Yuan Huan to Luoyang City to replace me.

Then I will never have the chance to return to Luoyang City!

For now, we must put aside our feud with Ji Qiu and deal with Yuan Huan first!
Only by disrupting Yuan Huan's actions can I have a chance to return to Luoyang City!" Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.

Xu You's expression suddenly turned serious. Realizing the importance of this matter, he bowed and said, "Please rest assured, my lord. I will definitely do this for you!"

...an unnamed valley outside Luoyang City.

Just when Yuan Shao and Xu You were planning to reveal the Yuan family's plan to Ji Qiu, Ji Qiu's troops had already broken camp and set off.

Next, they would head east to Yanshi, exit Huanyuan Pass, pass through Yangdi, Xuchang and other places, and arrive at Chenliu.

Continue eastward from Chenliu, pass Dingtao, and enter Shanyang County.

Finally, head east from Shanyang County to reach Taishan County.

You have to go east all the way, enter Yanzhou, pass through their Chenliu and Jiyin counties, Dongping and Jibei countries, and finally arrive at Taishan County.

The total distance is about 500 kilometers and the total duration is about 15 days.

Ji Qiu asked Wei Yan to take charge of the army's march.

This was one of the earliest generals under his command, and he had made many military achievements. Regardless of his qualifications or abilities, he was able to control the situation.

As for himself, he left the army and acted independently.

The reason he chose to act independently was that he wanted to use the time when the troops were on the road to recruit some talents.

The Three Kingdoms period was an era of brilliant stars.

Especially during this period, many talents are still in the opposition and have not yet been discovered. It is a good time to attract and discover them.

what?
Why didn't you do this before?

Of course it’s because I wasn’t qualified before!
He was just a commoner before, so what qualifications did he have to recruit talents?
Why would those talented people in the opposition join him?

But now it's different.

Now he is the Taishan County Magistrate, and he is the Taishan County Magistrate who holds the official seal of the Taishan Prefect.

This is almost equivalent to being the prefect of Mount Tai!
The position of a county governor is enough to attract some talents.

Of course, talent selection is a two-way process.

There are many talents who are attracted to him and many talents who are willing to join him, but there are not many talents that he can favor, and even fewer talents that he can personally recruit.

In addition, he has limited positions under his command, making it difficult to recruit the same type of talent repeatedly.

Then there are even fewer people who meet the requirements.

If you think about it carefully, there seem to be only four people who meet all the requirements.

Huang Zhong, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun!
Then, according to the principle of from near to far and from south to north, Ji Qiu decided to recruit Huang Zhong first.

So the space-time gate was opened, and the two worlds continued to travel through each other. Ji Qiu's figure jumped forward rapidly like a flash, and each jump would advance hundreds of meters regardless of the terrain.

About two hours later, Ji Qiu arrived at Wancheng County, the seat of Nanyang County, 300 kilometers away.

By June of the fifth year of Zhongping, Wancheng County had not yet experienced the baptism of war at the end of the Han Dynasty and was still one of the most prosperous places in the world.

The towering city walls wind and undulate, shining with an ancient light in the sunlight. There is a watchtower every few feet, demonstrating the majesty of this magnificent city.

At the city gate, the heavy gate was wide open, and the sound of camel bells of the caravan, the creaking of wheels and the chatting and laughing of passers-by intertwined to play a symphony of the city.

The armored soldiers lined up in neat rows, but they casually glanced at the people passing by, without being very vigilant.

In the city, a wide bluestone avenue runs through the north and south, with shops lining the road like a forest, and signboards rustling in the breeze.

In the jewelry store, jade, agate, gold and silver objects sparkled under the candlelight, attracting dignitaries to stop and admire them;
In the restaurant, with carved beams and painted buildings, the tables are filled with delicacies, and the diners are clinking glasses and reciting poems aloud.

On the stage, the actors appeared on stage, singing, reciting, acting and fighting, and their skills were fully displayed in every move, and the audience cheered one after another.
