Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 416 Partial hall assessment
After queuing for about half an hour, they finally arrived at the concierge of the mansion.

"Register your name and crown here, and then take this to the side hall to wait for the assessment."

A porter's clerk casually threw a piece of wood to Liu Yu, and then tapped the pen on the table, signaling him to register first.

Liu Yu must not reveal his real name, so he thought about what name he should use to register in a flash.

After finishing writing, he picked up the piece of wood and went to the side hall.

There is a number written on the wood chip, which corresponds exactly to the register, and there is also a corresponding position in the side hall.

Liu Yu found his seat and sat cross-legged, ready to wait for the so-called assessment.

When the side hall was full of people, a middle-aged scribe walked in with a picture scroll.

This person is only 30 years old, not tall, with a long beard. Although he is dressed in simple clothes, he is very particular.Jade pendants, belts, and pendants are all available, and they look like capable officials.

The person spread out the scroll and hung it on the shelf before he introduced himself.

"My official, Mao Jie, is a meritorious Cao who has been seated by Bingzhou Mu."

The master of meritorious service is selected, and Mao Jie's name Liu Yu is still a little heard.

In history, Mao Jie once suggested to Cao Cao to support the emperor to order those who refused to submit.He was the first person to propose a plan for Cao Cao to coerce the emperor to make the princes.

"Ding, Mao Jie, strength is 65, leadership is 58, resourcefulness is 78, mind is 83, and friendship is 0."

Liu Yu used the system to check it, and found that Mao Jie had a higher internal affairs ability, and the others could only be said to be average.

"This picture was drawn by Guo Junshi, and it shows the prototype of the confrontation between the two armies."

Mao Jie pointed to the picture scroll that had just been hung up.

"Observe carefully, and then write down a strategy that will allow both sides to win, and submit it to me for review. Those who pass the customs can enter the front hall and wait."

It turned out that the content of the first assessment was about the strategy in the face of war.

After saying this, Mao Jie sat aside and closed his eyes to rest his mind. After a while, he took out a small paperweight and played with it in his hand.

And the people in the room came forward to watch one after another, and stopped in front of chatting and discussing. Only a few people immediately returned to the table and put pens after reading.

When everyone returned to their positions and meditated hard, Liu Yu stepped forward to take a look.

I saw that the red and black colors on the picture represent the opponents respectively. The red side is located on a high ground, and the black side is backed by a small river.

"Hehe, the proposition on this picture is too general."

Liu Yu smiled deliberately with a haughty expression.

"This picture only shows the strength of the two sides, but it doesn't indicate the food and supplies, let alone the strength of the soldiers, so they ask me to wait for advice. Isn't this just talking on paper?"

"If I say that the strength of the two sides is equal, the one with the highest combat power wins, the one with sufficient food and grass wins, and the one whose commander knows how to use them well wins. There is no other reason. What is fought is not strategy, but the comprehensive strength of both sides' materials."

After hearing this, many people scolded Liu Yu for pretending to understand, and said there was a problem with the question when he couldn't think of a clever plan.

Some people also said that since this picture was drawn by Guo Junshi, it must have a deep meaning. Liu Yu only knew that it should not be unreasonable.

Only a few people expressed their appreciation for Liu Yu.

And Mao Jie, who was sitting under the picture, heard Liu Yu laughing at first, and thought he was a young lunatic, but he couldn't help being shocked when he heard it at the end, so he opened his eyes and called him to him for questioning.

"Dare to ask Mr. Xiao's name!"

"My surname is Wen, my name is Dao, and my name is Yigu."

It's called Wendao, and its name is Yigu.The name is really special enough.

Mao Jie thought to himself, the name is weird but the insights are extraordinary, it seems that he is very good at fighting in front of the battle.

Moreover, Guo Jia also said before coming here that the titles painted on this picture scroll are too general, if people who are proficient in strategy see it, they will laugh at him for not knowing the art of war.

Maybe this young man named Wen Dao is the military wizard that Guo Jia said!

Mao Jie secretly wrote down in his heart and motioned Liu Yuke to write down what he just said as the answer to this question.

About a quarter of an hour later, Mao Jie got up to collect the answer sheets, and often put them aside at a glance. In the end, only the answer sheets of five people were kept.

"Jia Kui, Man Chong, Jiang Ji, Wen Dao, the four of you can go to the front hall and wait."

After Mao Jie read out the four, he took the answer sheet of the fifth person and walked up to that person and clasped his fists respectfully.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Ziyu would come to apply for the recruitment. It's my negligence that made you waste your time here. Please invite Mr. Ziyu to take a seat in the backyard."

"Hehe, it's all right, this old man also came here because of his reputation, if he can meet Mr. Guo today, it will be a worthwhile trip!"

Side hall, front hall, backyard, three places, three assessments.

Those who pass the side hall assessment are basically determined to be able to stay in Bingzhou as an errand.

Those who are excellent in the front office assessment will be immediately awarded important official positions.

The backyard is the final assessment, and it is Guo Jia who is in charge of it himself.If he is satisfied, he will be recommended to Cao Cao as a counselor.

Hua Xin was directly recommended by Mao Jie to go to the backyard. It can be seen that his talent and reputation are still very prominent, which made everyone envious for a while.

Then Mao Jie humbly performed a disciple salute, and called the person in charge to guide Hua Xin.

There was another uproar when everyone saw it.

"Who is this Mr. Ziyu? Why does Lord Gongcao respect him so much?"

"I don't know, he's only in his 40s, he doesn't look like a celebrity!"

"What do you know, that man's name is Hua Xin, but he is a famous scholar with great knowledge!"

Everyone was chattering, and the hall was full of voices for a while.

Liu Yu couldn't help but sneered when he heard Hua Xin's name.

Hua Xin's alias is Ziyu. In his early years, he worshiped Taiwei Chen Qiu as his teacher, and he was a fellow student with Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, etc. He was also called a dragon with Guan Ning and Bing Yuan, and Hua Xin was the dragon head, which shows how famous his name is. loud.

During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Hua Xin was promoted as Xiaolian, served as a doctor, and resigned due to illness.He was also recruited by General He Jin as Shang Shulang.After the eunuch came to power, Hua Xin left the court and became the prefect of Yuzhang.

The reason why Liu Yu can remember this person is mainly because Hua Xin went to the altar to preside over Cao Pi's acceptance ceremony, and also presented the emperor's jade seal to Cao Pi, ending the remnants of the Han Dynasty with his own hands.

But Liu Yu remembered that it was recorded in history that Hua Xin should have taken refuge in Sun Ce when he was in Yuzhang. Cao Cao, who later joined after the Battle of Guandu, suddenly left Jiangdong and came to Bingzhou for some reason, and also participated in Guo Jia's talent recruitment.

"Could it be because Sun Jian was not dead, and after returning to Jiangdong, his son Sun Ce was restricted from emerging, so Hua Xin didn't stay in Jiangdong, but came to Bingzhou."

Liu Yu couldn't think of the reason for a while, but he didn't have any good feelings for Hua Xin in his heart. No matter who made him a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty, he only wanted to overthrow the Han Dynasty.

At this moment, Mao Jie coughed a few times, interrupting everyone's discussion.

"Scholars who have not passed the examination can go to the porter to receive a hundred coins, and those who are willing to stay as scribes can also go to the porter to register."

After finishing speaking, Mao Jie no longer cared about the people in the side hall, but led Liu Yu and the others to the front hall.
