After Li Yi sent Tai Shici, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to lead the troops to Beihai Kingdom to rescue Kong Rong, he did not take any further action, but abandoned the army and quietly slipped out of Fenggao City with Dian Wei.

Li Yi's trip has only one purpose, that is, to recruit talents. This person is none other than General Cao Wei, who was later included in Cao Wei's "Five Good Generals".

Originally, Yu Ban was a military Sima under Bao Xin, and as early as the fourth year of Zhongping (187 AD), he was recruited into Bao Xin's army and followed Bao Xin to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army.

At the beginning of this year, he participated in the fight against Dong with Bao Xin. It's just that in the battle of Bianshui, Bao Xin's whole army was annihilated, although Yu Ban escaped with his personal bravery in this battle, he saw the true face of the princes clearly, so he was disheartened and did not return to Bao Xin's army, but silently returned to his hometown of Juping in Taishan County to live in seclusion.

Li Yi didn't know about these situations. He was only listed as Cao Wei's "Five Good Generals" because Yu Ban thought he was a talent, so he was included in the search list. It's just that Li Yi knows too little about the ban, and he doesn't even know where he is from, so there has been no progress in the past few years.

This time, Li Yi led the army to Taishan County, and the people of the Li Chamber of Commerce also entered. In the process of taking in the displaced people below and preparing to move to northern Xinjiang, the people of the Li Chamber of Commerce accidentally got the news of Yu Ban. The person in charge remembered that there was such a person in the list of the main prince's search, and then reported it to Li Yi, which led to Li Yi's operation.

Originally, Yu Ban was not very concerned about Li Yi's solicitation, because Li Yi's performance in this campaign against Dong was very bad, and it can even be said that Li Yi's inaction was a big factor in the fiasco of the Dong army. In the ban's opinion, if Li Yi really wants to please Dong. Dong Zhuo was no match for him at all. After all, Li Yi's achievements over the years have been too brilliant, and the Liaodong Zhuhu, Wuhuan, Xiongnu and the powerful Xianbei people fell under his iron cavalry one by one. And Dong Zhuo obviously can't be compared with these powerful alien races.

It was precisely because of Li Yi's past exploits that Yu Ban did not let him eat behind closed doors and met with him. This also gave Li Yi the opportunity to convince Yu Ban.

And Li Yi, who got the opportunity. Of course, it is impossible to let Yu Ban run out of his hands.

So, after most of the day's debate, Yu Ban finally revisited Li Yi as a vassal. And after seeing the ceremony again, Li Yi's list of generals naturally appeared in Yu Ban's name.

After seeing Yu Ban's five-dimensional attributes, Li Yi felt that the "Three Kingdoms" game he had played was a bit cheating, because he seriously underestimated Yu Ban's ability. In Li Yi's memory, except for Yu Ban, who was more than eighty commanders, none of the others exceeded eighty. Very ordinary. But Yu Ban, who now appears on his list of generals, is a very well-rounded talent. The command is as high as 87, the force is also 84, and the resourcefulness is also not low, reaching 84. Politics is not good, but there are 70. The charisma is also not high, only 67.

Such a five-dimensional attribute is in the northern Xinjiang, which is full of talents. Maybe you can't be the main general of a legion, but there is no problem as a legion-level lieutenant general. At worst, he can become the commander of the first army. After all, his 87 command ability is still very bright, even better than Wei Yan's 82 commander.

Li Yi took a good inventory of the talents under his command in his heart.

In terms of commanders, it is natural to be headed by Li Jing, who has a command ability of 99, followed by Li Yi himself, who has reached 98, as well as Yue Fei, Xu Da and Mu Guiying, and then Gao Changgong who is 97. Chang Yuchun in 96, Guan Yu in 95, Zhao Yun in 93, Zhang He and Liu Bowen in 92, Tai Shici and Tian Yu in 90. These people all have a command value of more than 90.

In terms of force, the highest is naturally led by Li Yi and Lu Bu with a full value of 100, followed by Zhang Fei, Yuwen Chengdu and Lu Wenlong who reached 99, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun who reached 98, Tai Shici who reached 97, Mu Guiying, Yue Fei, Dian Wei, Chang Yuchun and Huang Zhong who were 96, Gao Changgong who was 95, Wei Yan who was 92, and Zhang He who was 91, all of whom had a force value of more than 90.

In terms of resourcefulness, it is led by Xu Maogong, Liu Bowen and Guo Jia, the three major military divisions, whose resourcefulness is as high as 99, followed by Li Yi and Jia Xu in 97, Xun Yu, Xun You, Li Jing and Xu Shu in 95, Tian Feng in 93, and Xu Da in 92, and the resourcefulness of these people also exceeds 90.

In terms of politics, Xun Yu is a super high-value leader with 98, followed by Chen Qun in 97, Li Yi, Kou Zhun and Liu Bowen in 95, Zhong Xuan and Li Jing in 92, and Xu Shu in 90, their political ability has reached more than 90.

After Li Yi took a closer look, he found that although his command is now full of talents, there are still many shortcomings. In terms of commanders, there is no shortage of top commanders and fierce generals, with 13 commanders with a command ability of more than 90 and as many as 16 with a force value of more than 90.

However, Li Yi found that he lacked ordinary generals under his command, that is, the kind of captain-level generals who command an army or even a team. Such a general, if he is summoned, seems to be a bit too wasteful. But if you recruit in this era, it seems that it is more difficult to find.

Fortunately, what reassures Li Yi a little is that the military academy he established in Quanzhou has begun to enroll students for two years, and in about two years, the first batch of graduates will be able to enter the army, which will greatly fill the gap in the number of officers at this level.

In terms of strategists, the talents in his hands can only be regarded as sufficient. In addition to himself, there are ten people including Xu Maogong who have reached 90 and above.

However, in terms of political talents, which are relatively lacking in top talents, they are actually not too lacking, because he now has a large number of political talents with political abilities in the seventies and eighties. These people may not be able to run the government affairs of a large state, but they are more than enough to control a county or even a county. This is also due to the establishment of the first university in northern Xinjiang by Li Yi in Jixian County, headed by Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan, the two top Confucian scholars in the world, and supplemented by many other celebrities, Yenching University, which has exported a large number of ordinary political talents to northern Xinjiang in the past few years.

Li Yi was still communicating with Yu Ban in Juping, but he got a message that Xuzhou Mu Taoqian sent a messenger to visit.

Li Yi hurriedly rushed back to Fenggao.

The envoy of Xuzhou is a middle-aged man who looks quite elegant, although he only enters the door to give gifts, but his grace is fully displayed, obviously from the rich family.

As soon as this person spoke, Li Yi heard a familiar name.

"Xuzhou don't drive to engage in Mizhu, see the hussar general......"

Mi Zhu, one of the most famous ministers in Xuzhou.

Originally, the Mi family was a businessman with no political status, although he was very rich and powerful, but he couldn't compare with the real family at all.

However, Mi Zhu was an extremely good investor, and in his hands, the Mi family changed from an ordinary rich businessman to a big family with an important position in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. And his best investment is to take a fancy to Liu Bei.

In 194 A.D. (the first year of Xingping), Tao Qian died of illness, and Lu Zhu was ordered by Tao Qian to welcome Liu Bei in Xiaopei to enter Xuzhou and assist Liu Bei.

In 196 A.D. (the first year of Jian'an), Lü Bu took advantage of the stalemate between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu to take the opportunity to attack Xiapi and capture Liu Bei's wife. Liu Bei had no choice but to be stationed in Haixi County, Guangling County. Lu Zhu deliberately married his sister to Liu Bei, and used 2,000 subordinates and gold and silver goods to fund Liu Bei's army, so that Liu Bei could reinvigorate himself in the face of danger. Later, Cao Cao wanted to recommend Lu Zhu as the Taishou of Yingjun, and his brother Lu Fang as the minister of Pengcheng, but Lu Zhu and Lu Fang did not accept it and decided to follow Liu Bei.

With such full support, Mi Zhu won Liu Bei's absolute trust. In 214 (the nineteenth year of Jian'an), after Liu Bei entered Yizhou, he worshiped Lu Zhu as the general of Anhan, and his status was above Zhuge Liang, and he was the most of the ministers under Liu Bei, which can be described as a very popular minister.

Li Yi looked at Mi Zhu and asked, "Zizhong is here, why is it here?" ”

"Hussar General...... Zhizhu's name? Mi Zhu was caught off guard by Li Yi, he has some fame in Xuzhou, but he is in the business circle, out of Xuzhou, I am afraid that only some foot merchants know him, who would have thought that Li Yi would have such an enthusiastic attitude.

Who is Li Yi? The world-famous hussar general! Open up a territory of thousands of miles for the Han Dynasty, and lay down a hussar general of the Han Dynasty in relation to the new!

Mi Zhu was flattered, but his heart was full of doubts.

Li Yi smiled: "I've heard it for a long time. ”

"Zhu is in Xuzhou, people have little power, although he admires the majesty of the hussar general, but ......" Mi Zhu did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly hinted, lest Li Yi find that he was incapable of doing things, and he would be annoyed and angry. Although the Mi family has a bit of a family business, how can they afford the anger of such a big man?

Li Yi smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I have nothing to do with Xuzhou, Li Yi has something to talk to Mr. Zizhong...... Well, it should be considered a private matter......"

"Private?" Mi Zhu seems to understand a little, the hussar general is not only a great achievement, but the Li Chamber of Commerce under his command is the first chamber of commerce in the Han Dynasty, and the rest of the chambers of commerce are not as good as the horse. If it's about business cooperation, it's negotiable......

"Well, this matter is a long story, I'll talk about it later, Mr. is here this time, can Tao Gong have something to bring?" Li Yi didn't say much, took this section lightly, and asked about the matter.

Mi Zhu bowed and said: "My lord heard that the hussar general was ordered by the Son of Heaven to come to the four states of Yuyanqingxu to fight against the ant thieves. Now that the ant thieves in Yuyan Erzhou have been basically pacified, the hussar general is actively planning to pacify the ant thieves in Qingzhou, but I don't know when the hussar general will go south to Xuzhou to help my family master fair Dingzhou County? ”

It turned out that he was here to ask for help, Li Yi knew it in his heart, and when Mi Zhu finished speaking indifferently, he greeted him enthusiastically and said: "Mr. Zizhong, please go back and tell Tao Gong that Li Yi originally planned to go south to Xuzhou immediately after pacifying the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army."
