Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 432: Bamboo Garden Recruits Talents
When Liu He saw that they had indeed admitted this, he was immediately surprised and delighted. He was even happier than when he had defeated the coalition forces of the Xianbei and the Xiongnu.

"Are you really Xun Wenruo?"

Xun Yu stood up, bowed respectfully and said, "General, I am Xun Yu. I never thought that the General would know my humble name. I am very honored."

Liu He was overjoyed and quickly ran around the table and helped him up.

"It is indeed you, Lord Ling! God help me!"

Xun Yu was stunned, his face full of confusion.

"Your Majesty? Are you addressing me as such, General?"

Liu He then remembered that the title Xun Lingjun was a respectful title given to him after he served as the Minister of the Chancellery in original history. Now when he heard this title, he naturally did not understand what it meant at all.

"Haha, He was too excited and made a slip of the tongue. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Come on, sit down. Wen Ruo, take a seat quickly."

Liu He personally helped Xun Yu back to his seat, which frightened Xun Yu a little.

"No, no, I am just a commoner, how dare I trouble the general to help me personally?"

"Oh, Wen Ruoxiu, don't be polite, just sit down."

Xun Yu had no choice but to sit down. At this time, Xun Jing and Cui Jun on the side were already stunned, as if they had seen some extraordinary sight.

"My Lord, do you know Mr. Xun Wenruo?"

Liu He waved his hand and said, "How could I know Mr. Wen Ruo? I have only heard of his great name for a long time and know that he is talented and knowledgeable, so I just admire him."

Xun Jing looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

"I see. No wonder you mentioned Wen Ruo and Gong Da so often when we were drinking last time. But you have lived in the north of Yanmen for a long time, and my brother and nephew rarely go out and have little reputation. How did you know about them?"

Although this question was asked by Xun Jing, Xun Yu also looked curious.

Without waiting for Liu He to answer, Cui Jun spoke first.

"Haha, I won't hide it from you two. My master has always been eager to find talented people, and he often inquires about the news of talented people from all over the place. Moreover, although the Xun family of Yingchuan has been in seclusion for many years, the talents of Xun Yu, Xun Chen, Xun You and others are also well-known. How could my master not know about this?"

Xun Jing and Xun Yu finally understood, especially Xun Yu, who looked at Liu He with a little more admiration.

"The general is a man of both civil and military talents, wise and brave, and has made great contributions to the country. Yet, he is still so courteous to a commoner like Yu. He is truly a wise ruler of the time."

Xun Jing also smiled and patted Xun Yu: "It seems that Wen Ruo's vision is more ruthless. I have met General Liu, and I don't know as much about him as you do."

"It's a pity that we couldn't persuade Gongda and Fengxiao to come."

Xun Yu spoke with a look of regret.

The two of them talked back and forth, and this time Liu He was a little confused.

"Gongda, Fengxiao? Could it be Xun You and Guo Jia?"

Xun Yu was a little surprised, but soon felt relieved.

"I didn't expect that the general even knew the name of Feng Xiao. The Yangdi Guo family has fallen into decline and is not as famous as many of the Yingchuan clans. Even many princes and ministers in Luoyang City may not know his name. It seems that the general is determined to search for wise men and talents in the world."

Liu He laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Yang Di Guo Fengxiao is a rare young talent among the scholars of today. How could I not know that? But Wen Ruo said that he and Xun Gongda were unable to come with you. What does that mean?"

Xun Yu and Xun Jing both sighed at the same time.

"Alas, before Gong Jian and I came to visit the general, we invited them to drink and chat. We wanted to invite them to come to Luoyang to serve together, but Gong Da excused himself that he was mediocre and had no intention of serving. And Feng Xiao..."

"How is Guo Fengxiao?"

Liu He couldn't help but move forward.

"Alas, Fengxiao said that although General Liu is a great hero of the time, his behavior over the years seems to show disrespect for the nobles, and he is afraid that he will not be reused, so..."

Xun Yu didn't continue speaking, but Liu He had already understood it completely.

It seems that his crackdown on local aristocratic families and his repeated secret confrontations with the Runan Yuan family, Yingchuan Chen family and other families have left a negative impression on many scholars. Although Guo Jia is very intelligent, it is understandable that he has some doubts about himself.

Xun Jing saw that Liu He looked a little regretful, so he began to comfort him. "General, don't worry. Gongda's ambitions and hobbies are similar to Wenruo's, but he has a slower temper. As for Guo Jia, hey, although this guy is weak and gentle, he is wilder by nature, a bit stronger than me, Xun Jing. He loves wine, women, money, anger, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Apart from money, he is good at everything else. He sold his family property not long ago and said he wanted to travel around. I think he is probably using the name of traveling to visit the princes of the world and look for a wise leader who can assist him. When it comes to wise leaders, who can compare with you, general? Don't worry, sooner or later, the two of them will be your men."

Liu He thought about it and it was true. In today's world, apart from strength and foundation, who among the princes could match him in terms of status and potential? He didn't believe that Xun You and Guo Jia, such wise men, would give up pearls and jade for rubble.

Thinking of this, his mind suddenly became clear.

Liu He stood up and bowed respectfully to Xun Yu.

"Liu He sincerely asks Mr. Wen Ruo for help to support the country and revive the Han Dynasty. I hope you will not abandon my ignorance and devote yourself to guiding me. I will be very grateful!"

Xun Yu was flattered and quickly stood up and returned the greeting.

"Thank you for not abandoning me, General. I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse!"

Liu He was filled with excitement and grabbed Xun Yu's hands.

"I have found Wen Ruo, just like seeing a light while lost in the sea. What else can I ask for?"

Xun Yu's expression was moved, with tears flickering in his eyes.

"My lord, you have treated me so well, I cannot repay you even if I die a thousand times!"

"System prompts, the host has gained the loyalty of a historical talent. Xun Yu, also known as Wenruo, was one of Cao Cao's important advisers in the early days of the original history. He made irreplaceable and great contributions to Cao Cao in strategic planning, military assistance, logistical support, and talent supply. He has made outstanding contributions and can be called the number one civil official in Cao's camp."

"Xun Yu's peak attributes: Command 54, Force 67, Intelligence 100, Politics 97."

"Xun Yu's current attributes: Command 38, Force 58, Intelligence 95, Politics 76, Special attributes: None, Special skill: King's assistant - when serving as an assistant, Intelligence increases by 3 points. When assisting in military affairs, the Command and Intelligence of the assisted person will be increased by 2 points each. When assisting in internal affairs, the Intelligence and Politics of the assisted person will be increased by 2 points each."

Upon hearing this attribute, Liu He was overjoyed.

Judging from his intelligence and political skills, he is worthy of being one of the top civil officials and strategists in the Three Kingdoms. He has an intelligence of 100 and a political score of 97. He also has the first civil official special skill Liu He has ever seen. He looks very powerful. No wonder Xun Yu is called "the talent who can assist the king."

"Since I opened the government, Zhou Ping has been the Sima, and we are still short of a Changshi. Please don't refuse, Wen Ruoxiu."

After the general established his government, Sima and Changshi were the heads of the subordinates in the government. They were the general's right-hand men and like deputy generals in the army. Their ranks were not very high, but they could only be held by the general's confidants.

Xun Yu was extremely excited and bowed again and again.

"My lord has placed so much trust in me and values ​​me so highly, I will definitely not let you down!"

Liu He helped him up and took him to sit down.

"My goodness, General, you are really generous. Although the positions of Chief Clerk and Military Secretary are personal clerks and not court officials, they must be held by trusted people. With the General's current power and position, the actual power of these two people is probably not much less than that of the Nine Ministers. My goodness, you are really willing to give."

Cui Jun bowed to Xun Yu and said, "From today on, you and I will assist the lord together. Please give me more advice."

Xun Yu even said he didn't dare.

After some greetings, it wasn't long before the jugs of wine were empty.

"Okay, okay, the work is done, the wine is drunk, and it's time for me to go."

Xun Jing stood up, bowed to Liu He, and prepared to leave.

"Are you leaving now? It's rare for us to meet, why don't you stay a few more days?"

Xun Jing grinned and said, "Hey, now Luoyang, Chang'an and other places are under the control of the general. This place is already rich, and there are many businesses to do now. I have to go back and make preparations to open more restaurants in Bingzhou and Sili. When the new restaurant in Luoyang opens, I will invite the general to drink. When the time comes, the general must give me some face."

"Haha, then Liu will wait for your restaurant to open."

Liu He and others personally escorted Xun Jing out of the general's mansion, and then returned to the bamboo garden.

"I will order someone to prepare a banquet and call back Yunchang and the others to welcome Wen Ruo tonight."

Liu He was still very excited and was about to call his servants over.

"My lord, there is no rush for the welcoming banquet. Since I am serving you, I will now offer you a plan."
