Originally, Bai Xiaowen also thought about using gentle means to communicate with the Gongsun clan, and with the help of their strength, he traced the clues of the dragon pattern gold box.

However, Bai Xiaowen himself vetoed this idea - the Gongsun clan was still too much of a hindrance, and their natural defensive psychology against the Yuan clan could easily hinder Bai Xiaowen's plan.

By understanding the situation, Gongsun Du did not have a deep foundation in Liaodong at this time, so Bai Xiaowen took the opportunity of this Hongmen banquet to kill the head of Gongsun Du in one fell swoop, and then took advantage of the tiger skin of the Yuan family. The Gongsun clan, which has a weak foundation, naturally collapsed.

begging Gongsun to help him investigate clues, even if he has the identity of Youzhou Thorn History, it is equivalent to scratching his boots.

How can it compare to now, Bai Xiaowen's decree is unhindered in Xiangping City, and it is more convenient and faster to directly mobilize the power of the government to investigate with all its might.

Wang Lie's suggestions were humbly adopted by Bai Xiaowen. This half-life old man has a soaring favorability towards Bai Xiaowen, and he has already regarded him as a master who can be trusted.

Bai Xiaowen then ordered Wang Lie to write a recruitment list and spread the book to each city in the four counties of Liaodong and post it.

Wang Lie even personally recommended a celebrity: "Son, I have a friend named Bing Yuan, who is from Beihai County and is famous for his temperament. Later, the Yellow Turban thieves caused trouble in the Central Plains, and Bingyuan moved his family to Liaodong to avoid trouble. Why didn't Childe recruit this man?"

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was no imperial examination, and the Jiupin Zhongzheng system had not yet been born, and the "probation" system handed down from the Han Dynasty was used to select and appoint officials.

Recommendation is almost the most basic way to appoint talents - for example, Xun Yu recommended Xi Zhicai to Cao Cao, and later recommended Guo Jia, all of which have been reused.

Therefore, the scholars of the Three Kingdoms era paid special attention to their reputation, and most people regarded filial piety as more important than life.

Needless to say, filial piety, for the sake of friends, celebrities and celebrities of the Three Kingdoms can spend a lot of money or even abandon their family and business, and pass it on as a beautiful talk.

Wang Lie received the attention of the "Ming Lord" at this time, and recommending his friends was a basic operation.

Bai Xiaowen said: "I have also heard of Bingyuan's name for a long time, and I can't wait to see it. He immediately issued a warrant and summoned Bingyuan with gold and silk gifts.

"Wang Changshi is talented and virtuous, and it is too condescending to be a long history. I will report to my father and ask you to be appointed as the Taishou of Xiangping, and to temporarily manage the affairs of Xiangping until the appointment is issued. I wonder what you think?"

Bai Xiaowen asked.

Wang Lie did not shirk, bowed down and said: "I will live up to the trust of my son." ”

After appointing Wang Lie, Bai Xiaowen took Yan Rou to inspect the treasury of Xiangping Mansion.

Gongsun Du's accumulation of gold, silver, grain, and cloth was about 30,000 yuan.

With the generous funding of his cheap uncle Zhen Yan first, Bai Xiaowen was a little disappointed with the harvest of the Xiangping Treasury. In his opinion, as the Gongsun Du of Liaodong, there should be more than this accumulation, right?

But this is the case, and Bai Xiaowen is helpless - the four counties of Liaodong are barren, and Gongsun Du has not occupied it for a long time, and it is already good to have 30,000 yuan of money and grain.

"General Yan. ”

Bai Xiaowen pulled Yan Rou over and said in a low voice: "Next, the soldiers and horses of the Youzhou headquarters are coming." ”

"Yes. Yan Rou was a little confused, so she could only nod.

This is an obvious thing, since Gongsun Du is hanging, the four counties of Liaodong will become the territory of the Yuan family. As the history of Youzhou, Bai Xiaowen is bound to dispatch Youzhou people, such as Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan's 20,000 people, to occupy the county towns of the four counties, replace the original Gongsun Du's men and horses, and reorganize them.

"The matter of my seizure of Liaodong is bound to be known to Zhao Rong Changshi. Bai Xiaowen continued.

"Yes. Yan Rou nodded again, still puzzled, isn't this all a basic operation?

Bai Xiaowen coughed and began to say the main point:

"This money and grain will be sent to the treasury of Youzhou. ”

"Yes. Yan Rou was excited, clenched his fists and said: "Please rest assured, Rou will live up to the trust of the son, and escort the 30,000 yuan of money and grain to the Youzhou Mansion Treasury one by one!"

“......”

Bai Xiaowen was a little speechless, what kind of attitude are you in a hurry!

Coughing heavily, Bai Xiaowen said: "Liaodong is barren, and the treasury can't make ends meet, how can there be a surplus of 30,000 guan?

Yan Rou was stunned, and then looked at Bai Xiaowen with unbelievable eyes. He's kind of figuring out the doorway.

Dare to love Yuan Ergongzi and want to swallow the extra 20,000 yuan privately?

No, Yuan Ergongzi wants to use this money to train his own troops!

Yan Rou remembered that Bai Xiaowen had picked out six hundred soldiers from his subordinates, and her heart suddenly brightened.

However, after figuring it out, Yan Rou was even more shocked.

Yuan Ergongzi wants to train his own troops, what does this mean?

Do you think the Youzhou headquarters is not easy to use?

Want a soldier that belongs to you and only listens to your own orders?

Looking at Bai Xiaowen's smiling expression, Yan Rou quickly came to her senses.

[I'm afraid the second son is preparing for the succession......]

With Yan Rou's vision, it is already very smart to think of winning the heir. He didn't know that Bai Xiaowen's "ambition" was much greater than he imagined.

The problem in front of Yan Rou now is two words: stand in line.

He now has a choice to make.

Helping the second son keep the secret - including the secret of embezzling 20,000 yuan of money and grain for military training, Yan Rou needs to stand in the second son's camp and become his henchman!

Just when Yan Rou hesitated, Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "General Yan has fought hard this battle, and my son can give you two thousand yuan to reward the soldiers...... How's that? How's it going?"

Yan Rou quickly made up her mind.

[With the courage and strength shown by the second prince in this battle, as well as the follow-up means such as pacifying the officials and passing the letter to the four counties, etc., it is completely in line with the standard of the Ming Lord in my heart. 】

[These two thousand kan are what you mean to recruit me!]

[The second son has the heart to solicit, this is a rare opportunity, otherwise, when will I, Liu Yu's old department, be able to mix up?]

[If you refuse the second son...... Think about the fate of Gongsun Du, right?]

After Yan Rou went crazy in his heart, he felt that he had figured it out, so he immediately knelt down and bowed:

"Since then, Gongzi Xi has been my grandfather of Yan Rou. I will do my best to be faithful to the Lord and go to the soup and fire, and I will not give up!"

[What is this operation?]

Bai Xiaowen was slightly stunned, he just wanted Yan Rou to help cover up the amount of money and food, so as to fill his pocket, so he did not hesitate to give Yan Rou a hush money for this.

What the hell is Yan Rou taking the initiative to take refuge?

No matter how smart Bai Xiaowen was, he couldn't imagine that Yan Rou would attack himself, so he fell into deep thought.

[Could it be that I have awakened some amazing attributes, since then, the tiger's body has been shaken, and as soon as the king's overlord is angry, there will be a little brother who will bow his head? This is the treatment that only a few camp leaders such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei deserve to have. 】

However, Bai Xiaowen's reaction was still very fast, and after pondering for 0.1 seconds, he changed his face to joy and helped Yan Rou up.

"Okay, great! Yuan Xi has to win the three armies by General Yan alone!"
