This elegant scholar was Fang Xuanling. He had wanted to leave Liyang County directly, but he suddenly stopped when he saw this scene.
He also went forward to understand the situation like the surrounding commoners. Through the posted announcement, he learned about Cao Yun's series of policies.
After Cao Yun occupied Liyang County, he first gained the hearts of the people. Then, he used some reasonable methods to get the people to farm voluntarily.
As long as the people were willing to farm and could obtain food, the food problem in Liyang County would naturally be solved.
Through reasonable conscription, he had also increased his strength to a certain extent.
From this, Fang Xuanling knew that Cao Yun and the others who occupied Liyang County were not ordinary rebels.
Cao Yun, who was leading this army, was a man with a far-sighted vision and rather brilliant methods.
How could such a person be related to ordinary bandits and rebel leaders?
For a moment, Fang Xuanling actually had the idea of meeting Cao Yun. He wanted to see what kind of person the person who came up with this set of policies was.
After making up his mind, Fang Xuanling headed to the Liyang County Governor's Mansion alone.
When they arrived at the entrance of the mansion, they announced their identities and waited outside.
After Cao Yun had issued a series of orders, he began to understand everything in Liyang County, including some political affairs that needed to be handled and reported.
After last night's battle, he did not even have the time to change his bloody armor.
"My lord, a scholar called Fang Xuanling requests an audience.”
Just as Cao Yun was flipping through some of Wang He's memorials, a soldier in charge of reporting walked in and said.
"Fang Xuanling?"
Hearing this, Cao Yun's hands immediately stopped moving.
Fang Xuanling was a rare talent. Not only was he a great ruler, but he was also a literary master.
Cao Yun waved his hand, ready to have the soldiers bring Fang Xuanling in.
"I'll go and welcome him personally."
But this idea was quickly denied by Cao Yun.
If he wanted to take in a genius like Fang Xuanling, he had to be polite and give up all his status.
Therefore, it was most important for him to personally welcome them.
After thinking this through, Cao Yun did not even change his armor and directly headed in the direction of the mansion.
Fang Xuanling waited quietly outside the mansion. He looked in the direction of the sound of footsteps.
The first thing he saw was Cao Yun, who was dressed in black armor, but there were still many dried blood stains on the armor as he walked over.
His sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, and chiseled face were the first thing Fang Xuanling saw.
From his appearance, Fang Xuanling knew that Cao Yun was no ordinary person.
Moreover, that armor seemed to be the armor he wore during the battle last night. This also meant that Cao Yun did not even have time to change his armor before he quickly came out to meet him.
"Mr. Fang."
Cao Yun smiled and bowed.
Fang Xuanling was shocked by Cao Yun's attitude towards an unknown person after a victory, and he admired Cao Yun's magnanimity.
For a moment, Fang Xuanling's determination to serve Cao Yun was almost confirmed.
First of all, Cao Yun was a person with foresight. In addition, he was able to treat the wise and corporal without arrogance and impatience. Such a person was the most suitable to assist.
In addition, Fang Xuanling belonged to the ranks of the Humble Class and was suppressed by the aristocratic families. His ambition had not been fulfilled, and relying on Cao Yun was his only choice to fulfill his ambition.
"I, Fang Xuanling, wish to serve you, General. I wonder if you are willing to accept me?”
Fang Xuanling made up his mind and cupped his hands in greeting. He looked at Cao Yun with a determined gaze.
Cao Yun was instantly overjoyed. There was an old saying that a scholar would die for his confidant. It seemed that his courtesy had strengthened Fang Xuanling's determination to serve him.
"Alright, please come in, sir."
Cao Yun replied. After bringing Fang Xuanling into the residence, he had someone call Hou Junji over.
Now that the development of Liyang County had been decided, it was time to plan for the future.
A few moments after entering the meeting hall, Hou Junji hurried over.
When Hou Junji saw Fang Xuanling, his expression was a little suspicious, so Cao Yun stepped forward to introduce the two.
"Mr. Fang."
Hou Junji politely bowed, but his eyes were filled with suspicion.
Although there had been many examples of receiving talents through courtesy since ancient times, it was hard to say for sure if there were any charlatans who claimed to be hermits and experts.
"Now that Liyang County has been conquered, what should we do next?”
Wen and Wu stood by his side as Cao Yun directly asked.
Hou Junji wasn't in a hurry to respond and instead turned to Fang Xuanling.
Whether this person really had some ability or was a swindler, one only needed to listen to his analysis to know the truth.
"The Liyang County that my lord occupies is the hinterland of the Huai River. The geographical location of this place is very good. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although it can be used to fight everywhere, it has the drawback of being surrounded by enemies.”
Since he had chosen to serve Cao Yun, Fang Xuanling naturally knew that he should display his abilities.
This was Fang Xuanling's view of Liyang County, and Hou Junji was somewhat surprised.
"Not bad."
Hou Junji nodded in response.
What Fang Xuanling said was the pros and cons of Liyang County, and his view was quite accurate.
Cao Yun did not say anything. He needed to hear what Fang Xuanling was going to say next.
"The most powerful enemy in the east is Jiang Du.”
Fang Xuanling's expression was solemn.
Jiang Du could indeed be said to be the strongest enemy on all sides. With their current strength, they could not deal with him at all.
Cao Yun nodded at this moment. He was aware of this.
"The most powerful enemy should be placed at the back, but we can first clear out the other factions. Among them, there are other rebel armies or Sui Army factions.”
Fang Xuanling's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
Hou Junji's expression became serious. There were many things that Fang Xuanling had not said, but he could understand the truth.
Clearing out the other forces could not only help them develop and clear out threats, but also prevent them from falling into a tight encirclement and becoming the target of other forces, resulting in them being swallowed by the Sui army in the end.
Fang Xuanling wanted to take the initiative to attack and break the current stalemate.
The fact that Fang Xuanling had such a deep understanding of these matters was enough to prove that he was extraordinary.
Cao Yun had also heard a lot from Fang Xuanling's analysis. Judging from the current situation, what Fang Xuanling had said was indeed a strategy that could be implemented.
This point coincided with Cao Yun's initial thoughts.
