2. Example:
Cao Cao employed talents mainly in his early years.
First of all, he put forward meritocracy, which broke the tradition of needing a gate valve and status at that time. Secondly, it is informal, Guo Jiaqi, whose personal life is relatively dissolute at ordinary times, is often complained to Cao Cao, who laughs it off. Jia Xu's design caused the death of Cao Cao's eldest son and his beloved Dian Wei, but later Jia Xu took refuge in Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was treated with courtesy, and he never embarrassed Jia Xu.
Third, interpretation:
1. Cao Cao believes that "between heaven and earth, people are precious" and "if you lose your virtue for your country, you will die". In order to realize the ambition of unifying the world, he has ordered three times to seek talents. In the fifteenth year of Jian 'an (21), he put forward the principle of "selecting talents only by merit" in the Order of Seeking Talents, which broke through the barrier of selecting talents only by family background at that time. In the 19th year of Jian 'an (214), he further emphasized in the "Order to Choose Teachers from Teachers": "A man with a husband and a career may not be able to make progress, and an enterprising man may not be able to make progress. Chen Ping is faithful, Su Qin is faithful and evil, while Chen Ping pacify Hanye and Su Qin help Yan. From this point of view, the agent can be abolished! If you have a clear mind, you will have no stagnation, and the official will have no waste. " In the 23rd year of Jian 'an (217), Cao Cao listed Yi Yin, Fu Shuo, Guan Zhong, Xiao He, Cao Can, Han Xin, Chen Ping, Wu Qi, etc., saying that although they were "humiliated and ashamed to laugh", they were "a single soldier can become a king, which has been known for thousands of years." To this end, he ordered: "Today, people who have no virtue are placed among the people, and those who are brave enough to face the enemy and laugh at them, or those who are heartless and unfilial and have the skill of governing the country and using troops, all of them have their own knowledge, so don't leave anything behind." The three orders for seeking talents truly reflect Cao Cao's eagerness to seek talents in order to become a king. In his poems, he also repeatedly emphasized the importance of talents.
Cao Cao attaches great importance to talents, not sticking to one pattern, and is only talented, so there are advisers like rain and fierce generals like clouds around him.
2. Xun Yu is a very capable and resourceful person. According to the history books, he first defected to Yuan Shao, but when he saw that Yuan Shao was not successful, he defected to Cao Cao. Actually, there is another way of saying it.
Cao Cao killed 3, Qingzhou soldiers and wanted to send troops to the Central Plains in order to take over. With soldiers and generals, but no advisers, Cao Cao went to Mount Tai to consult a monk. The monk gave him a knack and said to him, "When soldiers enter the Central Plains, anyone who dares to scold you can take it apart."
on this day, Cao Cao entered Xuchang, and his soldiers seized and robbed, which was a great harm to the people. Early the next morning, posts were posted on the four city gates, which read: "Cao Cao plundered and robbed, and the people suffered. If the army is not strict, it will be difficult for a long time." The following inscription reads "Xuchang Xun Yu."
when Cao Cao saw the posting, he was furious. You Xun Yu, how dare you scold me by name? Come on! I was just about to send someone to arrest me when I suddenly remembered the secret kit given by a monk. I opened it and read it. It read six sentences:
"I didn't speak until noon, and the days were stacked, and the grass grew for ten days. I was happy to meet Bei and be a minister before I crossed Jiang Ziya."
Cao Cao is an extremely clever man. Think carefully: Isn't this a crossword poem? What is said at noon is words, and words at noon are "promises"; The overlapping of the sun and the flat moon is "Chang"; Ten days is ten days, and the word "ten days" is added with a cursive prefix to read "Xun"; Adding two apostrophes to the word "or" is a word "Mi"; "I like to meet Bei and be a minister". Isn't this "Bei and be a minister" a word of "xian"? "Xuchang Xun Yuxian", huh! This Xun Yu turned out to be a better talent than Jiang Ziya! Cao Cao was overjoyed and immediately wrote a famous post and sent Coss to invite him.
Cao Ren went to Xunfu, handed in a famous card, and his family took it to see Xun Yu. Xun Yu took the famous card and put it aside: Ah-hide, Ah-hide, what a big shelf you are! "If you go, you can't see it!" Coss was turned away, and in return, Cao Cao insisted on leading troops to arrest people. If Cao Cao is thirsty, how can he let Coss fool around? Ride a marooned horse and ask for it yourself. Who knows Xun Yu had already hid out. Cao Cao braved the wind and snow again and came to Xun Yu's manor. Zhuang Ding said that the master had gone out to visit friends and relatives, and he didn't know where to go. Cao Cao had to be disgruntled and return.
Cao Cao couldn't see Xun Yu, so he missed it and looked forward to it. He almost fell ill. On this day, I suddenly heard that Xun Yu was worshipping his ancestors in his temple. Cao Cao was busy preparing gifts and Pegasus invited him. At this point, Xun Yu was studying in his temple, and when he saw someone coming in, he just pretended not to know. Looking at it, the book "pa da" fell to the ground. Cao Cao bent down to pick it up and offered it with both hands. He said, "Xungong, I am Cao Cao of Qiaoxian County, and I have come to visit." Xun Yu said, "You have the wrong person. I'm a wild grass in the village, so I don't know anything about military affairs. You'd better ask someone else for wisdom. " When Cao Cao saw Xun Yu's refusal, he said more sincerely, "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Wang has the talent to govern the country and keep the country safe. Mr. Wang is unwilling to have anything to do with Meng De. Is it because I run the army and disturb the people? Are you still angry with me?" Xun Yu was moved by Cao De's frankness and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will scold you?" Cao Cao said sincerely: "Mr. Wang is right and well scolded, and he will scold more in the future." Xun Yu said that he had leg disease, so Cao Cao immediately took his mount, respectfully let Xun Yu ride it, and insisted on pulling the horse down. The military band played a welcome song all the way and invited Xun Yu into the army.
since then, Cao Cao has been even more powerful, following Xun Yu's advice, rectifying military discipline, governing the country and ensuring the people's safety, and visiting talented people all over the world, and his strength has become stronger.
