He also had the ability to select the best people for a job. Yang Jiong, Wang Bo, Lu Zhaolin and Luo Binwang were famous scholars of his time. But Pei said after meeting them, “Although they are gifted, they do not have the destiny to enjoy a nobleman’s life. Yang Jiong has the most virtue among them, and he’ll be a low-level commander, but the others won’t enjoy a successful life.” His prediction came true.
