Chapter 458: Four Young Masters of the Warring States Period

The young man frowned when he heard Cao Cao and Xu You discussing to set fire to his house.

Cao Cao and Xu You were shocked, and the owner of the mansion finally came out.

They looked at the "Young Master" in the mouth of the guardian. The other party was well-behaved, dressed properly, and looked aristocratic, which was beyond the comparison of Cao Cao and Xu You.

This person’s background is more noble than himself!

This is the first impression of Cao Cao and Xu You.

People with good backgrounds perform quite well except for a few prodigal sons.

"Although the servants in the door were not well received, they did not need to set fire to my residence. If the two have the ability, they will give up the next talk for the talents I have sought."

Although this young man was of noble origin, he did not have the arrogance of being superior to others. Instead, he asked Cao Cao and Xu You to enter the mansion to discuss in detail, which meant to recruit Cao Cao and Xu You for their own use.

This is interesting now.

Cao Cao muttered to himself, but he didn't expect that someone in Xiacheng would recruit talents under Chu Tian's nose, and wanted to recruit Cao Cao and Xu You, two current subordinates of Chu Tian.

The young master told him his origin: "I was originally a general of the Lord of Runan. Later, he was defeated and killed, so he led some of the visitors who were willing to follow me and wandered around. On the way, some visitors left, and there were less than thirty people following me here. These visitors were good at doing business, and they reselled goods on the way, and gradually improved. So he bought more than ten houses in Xiacheng and recruited more knights, intending to gain a foothold in troubled times and make achievements."

Cao Cao and Xu You suddenly realized that this person liked to spend money and offer money to his disciples. It was precisely because he was righteous and generous that when he was in trouble, there would always be disciples who stood up to help him.

Cao Cao said: "The Lord's Mansion has an order to restrict the recruitment of private soldiers from various aristocratic families, but the young master recruits talented people and strangers with great fanfare. Wouldn't it be a violation of the law and seeking hardship?"

The young master was shocked when he heard this: "So there are such rules? Isn't it normal for generals from all over the country to support the tribes of aristocratic families?"

Xu You shook his head: "This is the wishful thinking of the young master. All four states have legions to guard, and the private sector will be a big problem. If the young master does not disband the extra servants as soon as possible, it may be a disaster!"

Cao Cao nodded.

Chu Tian would never allow a young man to recruit hundreds, or even thousands of capable people, in Xiacheng.

Now that Xuzhou is pacified, it is not a complete chaotic era. The main legion is preparing to attack Hebei. There are not many city defense troops left by Xiacheng. If this young master gathers thousands of visitors and creates chaos in the city, it will be a heavy blow to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian will try to erase all potential threats.

The young master smiled bitterly: "It seems that this is the moment, that is the moment. I will stop recruiting talented people and strangers. Thank you for waking up."

Cao Cao stared at the young master of extraordinary origin and asked, "Don't know the young master's name?"

The man replied, "I am named Wei and Wuji, but I am not worth mentioning."

"Wei Wuji?"

Cao Cao had no memories of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and only thought that Wei Wuji was a native.

If Chu Tian was present, his inner surprise would be endless.

Wei Wuji is one of the "Four Young Masters of the Warring States Period"!

Wei Wuji, the prince of Xinling, was equivalent to the prince of later generations. Xinling, Wei Wuji, was known as the "Four Princes of the Warring States Period" together with Chunshen, Huang Xie, Mengchang, Tian Wen, and Pingyuan, Zhao Sheng.

Moreover, in the battle outside the river, Wei Wuji led the coalition forces of five vassal states to defeat the Qin army south of the Yellow River, and Qin general Meng Ao was defeated and fled. The coalition forces of the five countries took advantage of the victory to attack Hangu Pass of Qin, and the Qin army was closed in seclusion and did not dare to fight again.

It can be said that Wei Wuji was the last commander of Wei and was still excluded by the King of Wei. After Wei Wuji's death, Wei Wuji had no power to fight back against the Qin army and was soon destroyed.

The four young masters of the Warring States Period all like to offer support to their disciples, and Xinling Jun Wei Wuji was no exception. Even in Xiacheng, Wei Wuji was still recruiting disciples.

It’s not that he wanted to revolt in Xiacheng, but his way of dealing with the world. At critical moments, as long as a few people come in handy, the price paid to support the guests is worth it.

After Cao Cao and Xu You reminded him, Wei Wuji gave up on recruiting his disciples.

Seeing that Xinling Jun was extraordinary and not an ordinary rich child, Xu You winked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao understood it carefully.

Xu You meant that he wanted to introduce Xinling Jun to Chu Tian.

If the recommended talents can be used more, then the recommended people will also make contributions. Not only that, once Xinling Jun becomes a general and a prime minister, he will definitely remember the benefits of Cao Cao and Xu You.

Cao Cao's eyes turned and thought of a way to win over Wei Wuji: "It's not easy for the young master to make achievements, so why should he recruit his disciples? The Yanzhou Governor is recruiting talents. If the virtuous brother has us recommended him, he will definitely be appreciated by the Yanzhou Governor."

Wei Wuji was slightly surprised. He was a new arrival and had heard of the governor of Yanzhou, but he never had the chance to meet him because Chu Tian went to attack Yuzhou not long ago and was not in Xiacheng.

Xu You fanned the flames and ignited the flames: "With the talent of the young master, it would be a pity if he did not make a career. The governor of Yanzhou was respectful to the wise and the noble master, and the young master was as easy as a general and a prime minister."

Xinlingjun was a little moved, but he was not easily convinced by Cao Cao and Xu You.

He also needs to watch the character of the Yanzhou governor to decide whether to surrender to him.

"Who are the two?"

Wei Wuji discovered that Cao Cao and Xu You were not talented people who came to the expedition at all, but were like lobbyists.

Cao Cao replied: "I am just a side general in the East General's Mansion."

Xu You replied proudly: "In Xiayecheng Order, Xu Ziyuan, a native of Nanyang."

"So you are subordinates of the Yanzhou Mu..."

Wei Wuji understood the other party’s purpose.

Cao Cao and Xu You mostly came to inquire about his origin, and when they learned about his origin, they planned to recruit him.

Now the status of both sides has changed.

Wei Wuji is more like a talented and stranger who Cao Cao and Xu You look at.

"Come here, I'll be happy to entertain the two distinguished guests."

Wei Wuji was also a smart person. He did not directly agree to Cao Cao and Xu You, but instead treated Cao Cao and Xu You with good wine and food.

During this period, Cao Cao and Xu You expressed their intention to recruit him again, and Wei Wuji was just an excuse.

After drinking and chatting, Cao Cao and Xu You walked out of Wei Wuji's mansion staggeredly.

Wei Wuji personally sent him off, and did not say whether he would surrender to Chu Tian.

Cao Cao was drunk, so he left Wei Wuji's mansion. When he saw Wei Wuji return to the mansion, he suddenly seemed to have changed someone else, extremely sober, and said to Xu You: "This is a capable man. If you want him to become an official, you have to use a ruthless move."

Xu You was a little dizzy because of his head: "Among, why did you have a ruthless move?"

"Start his mansion and force him to become an official."
