Chapter 191 Talent Breeding Base
Play loyalty and play Zhicai.Those who are familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or history, when mentioning Cao Cao's advisers, the first thing that comes to mind is the genius who was born with Guo Fengxiao, or Xun Yu who is Wang Zuozhi's talent.

Or Jia Xu, a poisoner, Cheng Yu, a human butcher, or Xun You, etc.

But Su Fan knew that these people had joined Cao Cao's subordinates in the mid-term.

In the early days of Cao Cao, he was nothing among the many princes. In the novel, he was the initiator of the call to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

However, after calling for Dong, he was only promoted by Yuan Shao as the prefect of Dongjun, with only a few thousand troops.

In the early stage, Cao Cao's development was almost all planned by Xi Zhicai alone.

Planning Yanzhou and annexing Qingzhou Yellow Turban made Cao Cao grow rapidly.

This person is definitely a top strategist, because he died too early, and his reputation is much worse than that of Guo Jia and Xun Yu.

Of course, it may have something to do with his poor background.

After all, most of the history books of later generations are recorded by the disciples of the aristocratic family. Naturally, it is difficult for poor disciples like Xi Zhicai to record more.

According to historical records, Xi Zhicai was born in a poor family, not even considered a poor family.

After all, the humble family is actually a member of the aristocratic family, and their ancestors are all rich.

The door represents the clan, and the ancestors had at least the official position of the prefect, and developed into a county tycoon, county prince or even an aristocratic family for several generations.

It's just that I became lonely later, but there are still some inheritances of classics, Shi Ziyi and so on in the family.

For example, Guo Jia, who was born in the Guo family in Yingchuan, is of course not a direct descendant, but a concubine, and he was born in Wufu.

He is a son of a poor family.

But no matter what the opponent's background is, his ability is not bad, and Cao Cao can never forget it, which shows his ability.

Su Fan came to Yingchuan because he wanted to recruit a few talents so that he could plan for the future.

In the struggle for world hegemony, talent is very important, whether it is a strategist or a general, it is still the same in this world.

Moreover, these counselors are often soul masters.

Su Fan also has a greater advantage than other princes, that is, he knows who are the top talents, which is quite powerful.

Some people can recognize talents with discerning eyes, but some people can only watch the talents slip away from their hands.

In the history of Romance, Yuan Shao is such a person.

As far as the princes of the world are concerned, the two brothers Yuan Shao do have a great advantage, especially Yuan Shao, even though the Yuan family supports Yuan Shu more.

But Yuan Shao's prestige among scholars is still higher than Yuan Shu's.

Because of the appeal of the Yuan family, many talents, whether they are generals or counselors, will regard him as the first target of choice.

Such as Guo Jia, such as Xun Yu, you must know that these people did not choose Lao Cao in the first place.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao didn't know people well, and in the end he took advantage of Lao Cao.

If you want to talk about the Three Kingdoms world, Liu Bei has a good ability to know people.

However, Liu Bei's background was even worse than that of Lao Cao, especially when he was not correctly recognized as Liu's blood by the Great Han Zong, he was only relying on a name.

That is to say, he later became Uncle Liu Huang, and only then did he have talents to rely on.

Liu Bei, who has no talents, has been wasted for decades. If he got Zhuge Liang earlier, let alone Zhuge Liang is Xu Shu, I am afraid it will be really different.

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, there were many talented people, whether they were advisers or famous generals, there were a lot of them.

Su Fan knew that with his current status, it was simply unrealistic to tame top talents like Xun Yu.

Even if he became the prefect of a county, it would be difficult to recruit these people to his rule.

After all, top talents like Xun Yu, coupled with a first-class family, will definitely look down on ordinary prefects.

Unless it is the governor or state pastor.

Su Fan still has self-knowledge, but he can go there first and get familiar with him first, and then when he has the strength, he can also try to subdue him.

However, meeting Xi Zhicai on the way made Su Fan a little surprised. Xi Zhicai's background was destined to be the easiest to conquer.

And now he is the other party's savior.

Now when Xi Zhicai stepped forward to thank him, Su Fan responded with a smile all over his face: "It's nothing to worry about."

"In Xiaguangling Gaoding, Gao Ning'an,"

"Brother Zhicai, what is this?"

"Hey! It's hard to say."

Xi Zhicai's face was gloomy, with a bit of sadness, and he explained a few words briefly.

Originally, Xi Zhicai was studying in Yingchuan, and the Taiping Road broke out. He heard that the Yellow Turban Army was raging in the area, and immediately thought of his father-in-law, wife and children who were still in Xu County.

Because he was worried, he attacked Yangdi City, went to Xu County, and planned to send his father-in-law's family to Runan County. In his opinion, the Yuan family in Runan should be the safest.

Unexpectedly, before they went out, the Yellow Turban Army had already begun to attack the Wubao of his father-in-law's house.

His father-in-law is a county tycoon in Xu County, his family is quite wealthy, and there are thousands of guards hidden in the family.

But in the face of tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans, they were finally defeated.

Although he is a scribe at the ninth level of soul cultivation, his effect on the battlefield is not very great.

In the end, his father-in-law asked him to break out with his wife, children and some people.

"I see!"

"Brother Zhicai, I think your pale face is because you have hurt your origin. I have Peiyuan Pill here to strengthen your foundation and Peiyuan. Take it, otherwise your injury will last for a long time and may affect your longevity."

Su Fan took out a green pill and handed it to Xi Zhicai.

"This"

"How can this be? It's too precious"

Just smelling it, Xi Zhicai felt that his body seemed to be a little more comfortable, and immediately understood how precious this elixir is.

Of course he knew that the injury on his body was due to the excessive consumption of the power of the soul, which caused the original damage.

Indeed, as the other party said, once it is delayed for a long time, the lifespan will be reduced.

But if you don't get paid for nothing, he is not afraid that the other party will harm him. What is he worthy of the other party's harm.

In terms of wealth, the other party's elixir is probably worth more than him. Even his father-in-law would find it difficult to get such an elixir.

"Brother Zhicai, take it! For me, I can take as much of this elixir as I want. I made this elixir myself, so it's not that precious."

"Brother Zhicai is a student of Yingchuan. If brother Zhicai really feels ashamed, how about you introduce some great talents to me when you come to Yingchuan in the future?"

Su Fan's words made Xi Zhicai stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and took a deep look at Su Fan.

"That's it, thank you Brother Ning An."

Xi Zhicai is not a hypocritical person, and of course he doesn't want to die young, he still has a passion, and his ambitions have not been displayed.

"But Brother Ning'an, it may not be safe to go to Yingchuan now, so Bocai's Yellow Turban army has already trapped Yangdi City."

"The officers and soldiers can only defend the city and wait for support"

Xi Zhicai reminded him.
