Year 192.
When Cao Cao was 38 years old, he was elected as the herdsman of Yanzhou through the election of Yanzhou officials and Bao Xin's strong recommendation.
However, Yanzhou was still in poverty at this time. The people were still in dire straits. They had no land and lacked food.
Therefore, Cao Cao had issued a decree to recruit talents and set up many positions in the army and the rear. He had used the reputation he had gained from fighting in the 18th Vassal Alliance to recruit talents.
……
At this moment, on a small path in the forest outside the military camp, a Confucian scholar had traveled thousands of miles to come here. He had come to seek refuge with Cao Cao.
This person's name was Xu Zhen, also known as Yixuan.
He was a scholar from a poor family, but he was not from this world. He had transmigrated.
It had already been a year since he had grown up. He had seen how homeless people were in this chaotic world and had decided to find a backer.
Thus, he had waited until now to look for Cao Cao because he had placed importance on the time when the Proclamation of Seeking Talents was issued.
Like most transmigrators, Xu Zhen had a system, the martial arts achievement system. He felt that it was very useless because he had seen too many deaths since he came here, including the old man who had taken him in for a period of time passing away because of food.
The village where the child lived had been ransacked by bandits, and he no longer wanted to fight and kill.
Although his martial strength kept increasing…
But after all, he had the lives of so many bandits on his hands. He felt terrible…
……
When they arrived at the military camp, there were many scholars waiting at the entrance. Inside was a heavily guarded place. Many soldiers were inside, led by a mighty general with bulging muscles and a tall figure.
"That's the Prefecture Overseer's brother, General Cao Ren.”
Cao Ren was Cao Cao's capable general, and many people thought that he had the qualities of a general.
Xu Zhen took a look from afar and waited outside with the scholars. These were all young talents from Yanzhou who had come because of their reputation and were quite knowledgeable.
They were all dressed more elegantly and were made of silk. Only Xu Zhen was made of cotton, and it was very thin, but he did not care.
He had come here to seek a small official position, the best to manage the food in the rear.
As for the food, there was a little profit. They did not need to go to the battlefield. They only needed to listen to Xun Yu or the opera talent.
This was Xu Zhen's goal. He did not want to go to the battlefield, nor did he want to fight. It was boring. As long as he could eat and drink to his heart's content, be a civil official who occasionally gave advice, and when necessary, protect himself. It was enough. Speaking of which, in the Three Kingdoms, the person he envied the most was Jia Xu.
This person was like a Child of the Plane. When he was robbed earlier, he could just lie and survive. He even treated him with good wine and meat.
Therefore, those who could write would write, and those who couldn't would go to the Cooks 'Army. After all, in this era where people were killed easily, it wasn't easy for everyone.
He automatically stood at the end of the line, and the young man in luxurious clothes stood at the front. Occasionally, he sized up Xu Zhen, but he did not have much of a mocking intention.
However, he did not take it seriously.
Soon, a refined middle-aged man walked out of the military tent and invited these scholars into the military camp.
Judging from his physiognomy, he was probably in his thirties. He did not smile and looked a little stiff.
The young men in front of him all bowed with their hands folded in front of them. They folded their hands in their sleeves and called out," Military Advisor Xun."
This was Cao Cao's chief military advisor, Xun Yu. He had an extraordinary position in the entire military camp. Cao Cao called him " my son."
Xu Zhen folded his sleeves and bowed slightly like the young man in front of him.
"Everyone here is a talent of Yanzhou. Thank you for coming and giving us a strategy for the development of Yanzhou.”
Xun Yu was extremely serious in his work. He returned a bow and then made a gesture of "please".
Then, he saw Xu Zhen standing at the back. He was a little thin and shabby. His clothes were also very shabby. However, it reminded Xun Yu of the time when he studied hard at the cold window. He did not cultivate his body but his heart.
This was the simplicity of a scholar. This scholar had this kind of simplicity.
"Please come in."
Xun Yu said with a smile as a private greeting to Xu Zhen.
This made Xu Zhen feel a little warm. Xun Yu seemed to be similar to what he had seen in novels. He was gentle and elegant and would not look down on others because of their family status.
It seemed that he would be an easy person to get along with in the future.
Xu Zhen smiled back.
Following behind Xun Yu, he headed towards the main tent. It seemed that he had caught up with a good opportunity. It just so happened that this group of young men had come to join the ranks of officials, and then he could join them.
As long as he could answer some kind of strategy and show some knowledge, he should be able to become a civil servant.
Xu Zhen thought to himself. With this thought, good days should be coming.
As they walked…unfortunately, the wind today was very strong. The tent was fluttering loudly, and the Yamen Flag in the camp was swaying from side to side. It was actually flying towards Xun Yu.
The soldiers on both sides suddenly panicked." Advisor Jun, be careful!!”
"We're finished!" Cao Ren was shocked, and his heart was in his throat!
The Yamen Flag was very heavy!
When the generals went out to fight, most of them set up flags as camp gates, which were called tooth gates and flags called tooth gate flags.
If this flag fell and hit someone, they would at least be seriously injured! And the direction of the fall was all scholars! A weak scholar!
"This…"
Xun Yu was shocked and fell to the ground. Then, the shadow on his face grew bigger and bigger.
What should he do?
Although he was calm, he didn't know what to do.
Just as the flag was about to fall, he felt someone close to him and raise his hand.
Bang!
With one hand, he supported the heavy Yamen Flag.
"This, this…"
Oh my god…what kind of godly power is this?
This was the Yamen Flag…It was big and long, the Yamen Flag!
"Are you alright? Military Advisor Xun."
Xu Zhen smiled very easily. He extended his free hand to Xun Yu and then placed the Yamen Flag on the ground.
At this moment, Xun Yu's face…had an idiom written on it-dumbstruck.
