If Cao Cao is famous for his thirst for talents, what other means does he have to recruit talents?

Sun Quan once said: Cao Cao's imperial generals are rare since ancient times. Cao Cao's thirst for talent can be said to be very famous The most unthinkable alternative is to "recruit" Ruan Yu. Even if he is willing to release Yamakaji, he will invite this talent out of the mountain.

Ruan Yu studied under Cai Yong when he was young. Cai Yong once called him a "wizard", and his articles were excellent. Cao Cao likes collecting talents very much. When he heard about his reputation, he wanted to call him an official, but he shouldn't. Later, Cao Cao sent people to summon him many times, but none of them succeeded. Later, Ruan Yu wanted to hide in the mountains, but Cao Cao was still stubborn and unwilling to let Yamakaji go, which forced him to leave Ruan Yu and the mountains. Although Ruan Yu resigned many times later, he finally stayed.

Secondly, there is another possibility that it is time for Cao Cao to "recruit" Xu Shu, and his recruitment method is also very cheeky. Xu Shu used to be Liu Bei's important talent, but Cao Cao wanted him very much, so he sent troops to chase Xu Shu who escaped and captured his mother. Later, in order to save his mother, Xu Shu bid farewell to Liu Bei and became Cao Cao's adjutant, so there was a classic two-part allegorical saying "Xu Shu went into Cao Ying without saying a word".

When Cao Cao recruited talents, he really used both hard and soft skills, and warmly welcomed those who took the initiative to go to him. For such a somewhat arrogant talent, Cao Cao is also struggling to find ways to obtain talents. Although Cao Cao's thirst for talents is somewhat unusual, he has always attached great importance to the talents he recruited. These talents were later regarded by Cao Cao as his friends and entrusted with heavy responsibilities, which made Cao Cao's talents more and more and the country stronger and stronger.
