Chenliu County.
Wei Manor.
Merchant Wei Zi was one of the few merchants who liked to travel. He was a very close friend of Cao Cao, and he was also a person who thought highly of Cao Cao in this chaotic world.
Therefore, he spent a large amount of money to invest in Cao Cao, almost all of his assets.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, every lord who raised an army had the support of such merchants. For example, Lu Su, Mi Fang, and others actually contributed their own wealth.
Thus, Wei Zi was like Bao Xin to Cao Cao, someone who owed him a favor.
" Both civil and martial arts?!"
At this moment, he looked at Cao Chun, who had come to report the news, with a dumbfounded expression." You're a genius in both literature and martial arts. You don't have to specially come and tell me, right?”
" Indeed…but this person is different. My lord asked me to tell Duke Wei that this person can raise the Yamen Flag with one hand and has the talent of my lord. He can eat five people in one meal, but he is weak and gentle. He only wants to be a civil servant. He might think that we are…too poor.”
"Tsk…"
Wei Zi was stunned.
A large sum of money would indeed be spent on a military official's salary and pension. Otherwise, how could he make others work for him?
"Impossible. If this kind of talent is really skilled in both literature and martial arts, in fact, salary is no longer important. How can his achievements be compared to ordinary people?”
"Lord Wei is right."
"Prepare the horses. I know what my lord means!”
Wei Zi quickly instructed his servants to prepare a large amount of fruits and food. He then prepared money, gold, and silver, as well as some jade artifacts. There was also a weapon, a bright silver spear made of heavy iron.
This was considered a peerless masterpiece. Although it couldn't compare to the Seven Stars Sword, a world-famous item that could cut through iron like mud, a general would definitely like it.
Brave people would definitely like such powerful weapons.
Hearing this news, Wei Zi was pleasantly surprised.
He was shocked because he didn't know that such a strong man had appeared in Yanzhou. Moreover, he had directly passed by him and went to the military camp. Fortunately, he had been discovered. If such a talent was buried, wouldn't he have to start from a small soldier?
The good news was that…with such a brave person who could raise the flag of the tooth gate with one hand, their difficult situation in Yanzhou would be easily solved.
After all, the moth bandits in Yanzhou were too rampant.
In Yanzhou, especially Dongjun and Yingchuan, there were remnants of the Yellow Turban army. Now that they had lost the opportunity to fight, they could only gather in the mountains and forests or seize towns and cities to prey on the people.
In addition, there were also Yellow Turban remnants in the Qing and Xu states. These thieves were called moth thieves.
This was also the most important thing Cao Cao had to face after taking office. If he could pacify these disasters, then the achievements of the entire Yanzhou would be stabilized.
He could also take credit from the Imperial Court.
Of course, he didn't want an official position.
As a businessman, Wei Zi understood this very well. He wanted to gain credit so that he could make a name for himself. In the future, there would be more young talents and brave men from the village who would come because of his reputation.
"Men! Hurry up and prepare. We'll set off now!”
"Here!"
Everyone in the Wei Manor was immediately bustling with activity. Everyone was busy preparing all the gold, silver, and jade items in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Then, they set off.
……
The next day, when the sun had set, four or five carriages entered the military camp. They were not moving fast, but Weiss had already instructed the coachman to travel day and night.
At this moment, Cao Cao knew that Wei Zi had arrived. Out of courtesy, he came out of the main camp to welcome him. Behind him were Xun Yu and Xun You, as well as Cao Ren and Xu Chu.
Although Xun You was Xun Yu's nephew, he was older than Xun Yu and had extensive knowledge. He had the talent to assist the king and could rule the world. Other than that, Cao Cao also had a very important advisor.
His name was Xi Zhicai.
As for Xu Zhen, he had already changed into the scholar's uniform of the registrar. He was originally thin and tall, full of lean flesh. He was also tall and had a delicate face. He did not look like a military general.
Therefore, when they wore the clothes of a civil official, they were very well-known.
"Duke Wei."
Cao Cao walked forward and bowed slightly.
"I don't dare to. I'm flattered to have to trouble my lord to welcome me!”
Wei Zi hurriedly returned the greeting. At the same time, he understood Xu Zhen's position in Cao Cao's heart. Because he had come here, Cao Cao naturally understood why.
Therefore, if he was willing to come out to welcome them, it meant that he was in a really good mood.
"May I ask where Xu Zhen is?"
"Ah?" Among the bookkeepers behind Cao Cao, an inconspicuous young man standing at the end replied," I'm here.”
"Are you Xu Zhen or Xu Yixuan, who raised the Yamen Flag with one hand?”
Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment before saying,""Lord Wei, my knowledge is even better.”
He planned to remind Weiss not to keep looking at the side of the flag that he was holding. That was not important! What's important is my knowledge! I am a civil official!
Wei Zi was slightly delighted, then laughed out loud."Right, right, right. I almost forgot that Lord Xu is also skilled in both literature and martial arts! He has the potential to be a Great General!"
When Xu Zhen heard this, he felt mixed emotions.
You're going too far. You've become a general again?
