In the Yuan camp, a new group of fierce generals from the Cao camp has been added, and their strength has increased greatly.

Bai Xiaowen sent another general from the Cao clan to collect the fleeing troops of the Anyang War, needless to say.

However, there are three other characters that Bai Xiaowen cares about very much, and they did not surrender.

Two of them are captives, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.

When Xun Yu went to persuade him to surrender, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai had already heard the news of Cao Cao's suicide, coughed up several liters of blood, and was sick in bed.

Both of them actually have a kind of self-blame.

As a strategist with the army, he attacked the east and west, used Cao Xiong as a bait, and let the Yuan family divide his troops to destroy Cao Xiong, killing two birds with one stone.

As a result, this strategy was seen through by the enemy, which directly led to Cao's army losing the opportunity in planning and losing a big defeat.

In comparison, the generals in Cao Cao's camp do not have so much psychological burden, especially Zhang Liao and others, who have followed Cao Cao for a short time, and have not yet formed the inherent concept of serving Cao Cao as the lord for life;

Guo Jia himself is very conceited, and he is indeed a first-class strategist, so his expectations for himself are extremely high, and such a huge strategic failure led to the defeat of the assistant lord, and the blow to them can be imagined.

Not to mention, Cao Cao and the two have a very good personal relationship, this kind of relationship between monarchs and ministers and good friends can be passed down as a good story in ancient and modern times, but now, it can only be more sentimental.

Regarding Bai Xiaowen's solicitation, the two strategists resolutely refused.

Guo Jiatuo said: "The two of us are planning a strategy, and what we rely on is between these square inches (square inch: heart). Now that every inch is in chaos, we are already wasted, even if we assist Da Sima, it is useless. If Da Sima wants to kill the two of us, so as to prevent future troubles, we will kill them when we lead the neck, and if we don't kill them, we will also go back to the mountains and rivers, and never ask about the world again. ”

Of course, Bai Xiaowen would not kill Guo Jia and the others, mainly because both of them were scribes, and killing them was useless, but harmful.

After getting the message, Bai Xiaowen no longer insisted on it.

Strategists like Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are too high-spirited, and they really "can't afford to lose". Note that the fact that we cannot afford to lose here does not mean that we have lost our debts, but that we cannot lose or dare not lose! If we lose an important strategy, and then make suggestions as a strategist, we will inevitably increase many scruples. To put it simply, self-confidence is lost.

Bai Xiaowen asked himself, if he loses once, will he also have this kind of self-doubting mentality?

It's hard to say. Because Bai Xiaowen hasn't lost until now.

However, Bai Xiaowen hopes that his resilience can be stronger, learn from the indomitable Cao Cao and Sima Yi, it is not terrible to lose a strategy, but it is terrible to lose confidence.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai fell ill with vomiting blood this time, but it confirmed a sentence: love is not long, and wisdom will be hurt.

Bai Xiaowen could only ask the medical officer to take good care of Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai's bodies, and told the two that after they recovered, they would let themselves go.

As for another talent, it is Jia Xu.

Jia Xu's strategic level is also first-class in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. And this product has a strong desire to survive, quite a bit of "you die yours, I just live by myself" feeling, if you can catch it, Bai Xiaowen is 100% sure that he can let Jia Xu assist him.

However...... Jia Xu has already run away!

After Bai Xiaowen's investigation, he learned that Jia Xu and Guo Jia followed Cao Cao's northern expedition together. However, on the night of the decisive battle, Xiahoudun was used by Bai Xiaowen to divert the tiger from the mountain, and after being transferred, Jia Xu ran away silently.

In the end, Nandaying was burned, and Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were arrested, but Jia Xu was not caught.

Bai Xiaowen can't help it, and he can't want Jia Xu. Otherwise, it's a matter of urgency, and letting this guy run to other camps is also a troublesome matter.

It is also worth mentioning that Liu Ye, another of Cao Cao's advisers, also disappeared.

The time of his disappearance is very intriguing, and it happens to be the same time as the time when Richard, the head of the Divine Court Awakened, escaped from the Three Kingdoms plane.

Bai Xiaowen couldn't figure out whether this Liu Ye disappeared by coincidence, or whether it was one of the awakened people in the Divine Court training camp who cut in and pretended.

As for the other Cao Jun strategists, such as Cheng Yu and so on, they are similar to Dong Zhao, and they do not have the special skills to assist the lord.

Bai Xiaowen met with the governors of various prefectures and counties in Henan in Xudu, and let them still return to their original posts, among which outstanding ones such as Zhong Xuan, etc., were rewarded and promoted, which quickly stabilized the hearts of the people in Henan.

So far, the first stage of the main quest has taken 13 days.

Bai Xiaowen then convened the civil and military forces, held a high-level military meeting again, and used the authority to formulate national policies, intending to find the next great unification mission target for the Yuan camp.

This time, Tian Feng, Xun Yu and many other strategists all had the same attitude, wanting to exterminate bandits, rectify internal affairs, and digest the fruits of victory.

One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military.

Bai Xiaowen also understands this truth, the fist has to be withdrawn first and then punched out before it can be more powerful. From a long-term point of view, if there is three months to half a year to rectify internal affairs, and Henan and Hebei are connected into an iron plate, Bai Xiaowen will compete for dominance in the world, and he will almost be in an invincible position.

Looking at Cao Cao, who also unified the north, lost the Battle of Chibi so tragically, and still dominated the north, his strength was so strong that he needed Sun and Liu to unite to contend with him, and he knew how terrifying Bai Xiaowen's potential was at this time.

It's one thing to know that.

But the rules of the spiritual world don't admit it!

Counting Zhang Yan of Montenegro, Qingzhou Thief, Bingzhou Horse Thief, etc., failed to trigger the second unification main line.

However, Bai Xiaowen was not in a hurry.

Thanks to the quick defeat of Cao Cao's camp, the current White Phoenix team still has nearly 30 days left to explore freely in the Three Kingdoms Plane World.

As long as it is within these 30 days, the next unification main story can be triggered.

If you really can't do it, you can forcibly raise the target, such as annexing Jingzhou, or annexing Yizhou, etc., and you can always trigger the second phase of the mission.

Therefore, after discussing with the civil and military officials of the camp, Bai Xiaowen decided not to expand with troops for the time being, but to recruit bandits, train elite soldiers, and accumulate grain and grass.

The Cao group's rout troops eventually gathered more than 70,000 people.

The overall combat quality of these 70,000 people is quite not weak, and it is stronger than the 60,000 elite soldiers selected by Bai Xiaowen from the 120,000 Yuan army, and the quality of a single person is stronger, and they can all be incorporated into the army.

However, Bai Xiaowen still ordered 20,000 people to be eliminated and used for reclamation.

His concept is that soldiers are not expensive, and sitting in the north, 100,000 elite soldiers is enough. Like Cao Cao's military operation of being complacent after unifying the north and dispatching a million troops to conquer Jiangdong, Bai Xiaowen actually did not approve of it.

However, only a few days passed in the peaceful days of farming and military training, and something came to the door again.

The Xiliang Army sent an envoy to Yedu!
