Zhao Rong: "...... 10,000 yuan is good, now the treasury of Youzhou is empty, if there is this money and grain injection, the next time the general asks for grain, he will finally have to pay for it. ”

Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and said, "Wait." Don't drive just for the good, no matter the trouble...... The four counties of Liaodong have a big problem now. ”

Zhao Rong looked confused: "What is the problem?" He arrived overnight from Beiping, and he didn't know the news of the Yellow Turban Army.

Bai Xiaowen informed the Yellow Turban Thief.

"The discovery of the Yellow Turban Thief in Liaodong?!Is this news conclusive?" Zhao Rong said in surprise.

"The thief chief Guo Cai, with more than a dozen of his servants were taken out of prison, and there are other account books here, and the human and material evidence are all there, how can it be inconclusive. Bai Xiaowen said.

"That'...... Childe means ......"

"Of course it must be exterminated," Bai Xiaowen said as a matter of course, "I, the Yuan clan, am the emperor of the Han Dynasty and guards Youzhou, how can I let these rogues trouble the people? ”

Zhao Rong secretly complained: Son, are you serious about what you say? Who doesn't know that the black mountain thieves in Jizhou have been entrenched for three years, and the general has not turned a blind eye.

However, on the surface, of course, Zhao Rong couldn't refute it, so he could only nod and say: "If you want to use the people of Youzhou, you must have the permission of the general." Gongzi might as well write a letter and ask for the general's order, so that the three generals Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan and Yan Rou dare to move troops. ”

Yan Rou led 500 soldiers before, and the scale was extremely small, and it was only twice as many guards around "Yuan Xi" as he said it, and it was not considered to be a march.

Of course, Bai Xiaowen used these five hundred soldiers to do amazing things, not to go on an expedition, but to go on an expedition. This is also the reason why Zhao Rong said "Gongzi has done a good thing" as soon as he opened his mouth, which is roughly equivalent to the "lying groove" of the ancients.

To deal with more than 2,000 yellow turban thieves, it is obviously not a small fight.

Bai Xiaowen had long expected Zhao Rong to say this, he nodded and said, "It's okay to write a letter, but you need Zhao Beijia's joint signature." ”

Zhao Rong wanted to say, is it okay if I don't wade into this troubled water?

But looking at Bai Xiaowen's meaning, it's really not okay not to wade into troubled waters, 10,000 yuan of money and food is not taken for nothing.

In the end, the letter to Yuan Shao was written by Bai Xiaowen himself, and at the end, in addition to his own name, Zhao Rong's name was also signed.

......

Two days later, the official crossed the Yuan army camp.

Yuan Shaogao sat on the main seat. He was dressed in a military uniform, with a fair complexion, three long beards, and was not angry and arrogant. Whoever sees it, they must praise it, worthy of the fourth world and the third duke, this bearing is extraordinary!

There were two rows of long tables on the left and right below, and a group of strategists sat down on the left and right, and there were more than ten people.

In terms of numbers, it is several times stronger than Cao Cao's think tank.

It's a pity that although there are a lot of people, most of them are bastards, and they will only follow the crowd.

There are only three or four people who can really give advice and get Yuan Shaoxin's attention.

"Report! Youzhou emergency military situation!"

Yuan Shao's eyes froze: "Bring it up!"

Three Youzhou cavalrymen, in the dust, rushed into the camp.

"My lord, the second son has a letter to him, and the military situation is all in the letter. The chief messenger knelt on his knees, took out a letter from his bosom, and put his hands on top of his head.

A waiter had already taken the letter and passed it to Yuan Shao.

"Oh? It's actually co-signed by Zhao Rong and Xi'er. ”

Yuan Shao paid a little attention to it in his heart, and opened the letter sealed by fire paint.

After reading it, Yuan Shao couldn't help but show joy on his face, and praised the festival: "I didn't expect that in Youzhou, Xi'er could do such a big thing!"

All the strategists below were a little curious. One of them said, "My lord, what is the military situation in Youzhou?"

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Xianyi (Yuan Xibiaozi) wrote that he brought five hundred elite soldiers into Liaodong and exterminated the father and son. Since then, the four counties of Liaodong have also been included in the rule of my Yuan family. ”

The first reaction of the strategists was:

How can it be?

Yuan Shao smiled and passed the letter to everyone to see.

In fact, Yuan Shao's first reaction was not to believe it, but the benefits of Zhao Rong's signature were reflected, which greatly improved the credibility of this letter.

Yuan Shao got up, paced in the tent, and said with a smile: "This Xi'er, who has been silent, didn't expect to be able to earn Gongsun Du's father and son......"

Yuan Shang, the third elder who served his father in the camp, saw it, and couldn't help but be envious, jealous and hateful. He looked at one of the strategists in the first row on his right.

The strategist's name was Feng Ji, and he was also quite famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

Feng Ji caught a glimpse of Yuan Shang's gaze and nodded slightly. He had finished reading the letter, and he was thinking about how to speak.

At this time, Yuan Shaozheng opened his mouth to ask the strategists: "It takes no one soldier to get the land of the four counties, and the credit of Xianyi is not small. In your opinion, how should we be rewarded?"

Feng Ji got up, and suddenly all the strategists who wanted to speak closed their mouths.

Feng Ji bowed and said: "Lord, in my opinion, the second son's move should not be rewarded, but should be blamed." ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shao frowned in displeasure, "What do you mean by that?"

Feng Ji had already figured it out in his heart, and said unhurriedly: "Back to the lord, our army is holding on to Cao Thief, and if we win, we can unify the north, this is a strategy that involves the overall situation, and there is no room for mistakes! In the rear, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Merge should take stability as the first priority. The second son's move was too risky, and to put it mildly, it was the courage of the horseman, and he didn't consider what the consequences would be if he failed. ”

Seeing Yuan Shao's frowns tightly and falling into deep thought, Feng Ji continued: "If the matter fails, the second prince is captured or killed by Gongsun Du, it will make Liaodong betrayal, and the war in Youzhou will inevitably cause chaos in the rear! Fortunately, the second prince relied on the prestige of the Yuan family and the lord Hongfu to succeed." However, if the lord rewards the second prince for this, he is encouraging other officials who are guarding the rear to do the same. At that time, the rear will be unstable, how can our army compete with Cao thieves?"

"Besides, in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, the harvest is not enough to raise soldiers, it is just a small profit. Compared with the great cause of the lord vying for dominance in the world, which is more important? May the lord think carefully!"

Guo Tu on the side also took the opportunity to say: "Lord, Gongsun Du invited the son to the banquet because he was prominent in the Yuan family's court and wanted to make friends, so he was unprepared and was taken advantage of by the second son." If this matter spreads, I am afraid that all the princes of the world will laugh at my Yuan family's untrustworthiness and unrighteousness, who will dare to make friends with us?"

Feng Ji and Guo Tu are almost the most relied on strategists of Yuan Shao, and as soon as these two people expressed their positions, a group of melon-eating strategists behind them naturally responded in unison.

Yuan Shao sat down slowly, patted the case and said, "If it weren't for your words, I would have almost made a big mistake. Xianyi's move really shouldn't be rewarded, lest everyone follow suit and mess up our army's plans. This erector, I handed over Youzhou to him, I expected him to be honest, but I didn't expect to cause trouble for me!"

From joy to anger, Yuan Shao's temperament changed so quickly that it was comparable to the face change of Sichuan opera. Just now he said how to reward Yuan Xi, and in a blink of an eye, he was thinking about how to punish and blame.
