Bai Xiaowen sent winged cavalry, nominally as a leader, to arrange for Jizhou to vacate his residence for the Son of Heaven to garrison.

As for the actual purpose, only the four members of the White Phoenix team knew.

After the Son of Heaven rested in Huguan, he was invited to the nearby Tunliu City. The 20,000 Youzhou army, after several battles, now has about 16,000 left, all of which are resting in Tunliu City.

Bai Xiaowen asked about Guo Yuan's war in the state. Because Bingzhou borders on the Sili School Captain Department (Sizhou), and belongs to the two camps of the Yuan family and the Cao family, when the main forces of the two sides fought the decisive battle, Bingzhou and Sizhou were naturally also tense.

However, because the Sizhou army is weak, and there are Xianbei people entrenched in the prefecture and county, they have no ability to fight.

As a battlefield on the Western Front, the battles in Bingzhou and Sizhou are actually dispensable, and it is entirely up to them to see the victory or defeat of the Guandu battlefield on the Eastern Front.

Therefore, Guo Yuan guarded Huguan, and as a senior cadre of the history of Bingzhou Thorn, he did not stay in Jinyang City (now Taiyuan, Shanxi), but led his troops to be stationed in Xiangyuan, which was about 100 miles away from Huguan and Tunliu.

As soon as the Son of Heaven settled down, Shi Gaogan received a notification from Guo Yuan and rushed over.

Bai Xiaowen used the excuse of protecting the safety of the Son of Heaven and let the Son of Heaven temporarily live in the camp in Youzhou. Although Gao Gan's performance in the romance was more loyal to the Yuan family, Bai Xiaowen still had to eliminate all unstable factors.

Gao Gan and Bai Xiaowen finally met, accompanied by their brother Gao Rou.

Speaking of Gao Rou, she is also a great character.

Gao Rou is good at judging cases, and she is conscientious and conscientious for officials. After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he appointed Gao Rou as the "assassination envoy", which was a job to offend people, and Cao Cao's original intention may have been to find a reason to kill him. However, Gao Rou is diligent and talented, and after taking office, she has worked hard all night many times, so that there is not a single case in prison that remains to be solved.

Later, Cao Cao saw Gao Rou holding the paperwork and falling asleep at the desk, and his heart was touched and he was transferred to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Gao Rou was recognized by the Cao Group.

There is very little ink on Gao Rou in the romance, and it is only mentioned when Sima Yi launched the "Gao Pingling Change" to kill Cao Shuang. At that time, Gao Rou was already one of the three princes of Cao Wei, Situ, who was edicted by the empress dowager to fake festivals, conduct military affairs, and occupy Cao Shuang's military camp, which played an important role in Sima Yi's seizure of power.

This can almost be regarded as an inspirational drama.

It's a pity that there is no fame in the Three Kingdoms, Gao Rou is just an ordinary scribe-type leader in the Three Kingdoms plane.

Beside the Gao Gan and Gao Rou brothers, there is also a famous man in the state, called Zhong Changtong, who is a white body, and he has not been in Gao Gan, and I don't know what the reason is.

"Xianyi!"

"Brother. ”

When relatives met, Gao Gan seemed very happy. He was more than ten years older than Yuan Xi, and he took Yuan Xi's hand affectionately and said: "Xianyi has done a great job in Liaodong and Xudu! Brother Fool heard about it in Bingzhou, and he is also happy for you." ”

As he spoke, Gao Gan looked Bai Xiaowen up and down again, and then praised:

"The last time I saw Xianyi was two years ago. Now that we see each other again, the graceful appearance and bearing of the show are the same as those of three years ago, which really impresses the foolish brother!"

Bai Xiaowen's high charm played a role, and Gao Gan had no hostility towards him in the first place, so he seemed even closer.

Gao Gan himself also has his own plans. Now that Bai Xiaowen has broken through Xu Du, supported the Son of Heaven to return to the Yuan family, and the world is attacking Cao, Yuan Shao's camp is about to continue to grow bigger and stronger. And Yuan Xi, who has miraculous achievements, will inevitably receive strong support from Yuan Shao, and within the camp, it can be regarded as a deep expectation.

Moreover, his uncle Yuan Shao has always had the idea of establishing a virtuous son in terms of establishing a son, so he let his three sons each lead a state to see the results.

This second cousin, Yuan Xi, has performed so well, and the possibility of being appointed as the heir is far greater than that of the other two cousins, and there is no harm in building a good relationship now.

Gao Gan's little abacus belongs to the idea of a normal person, and Bai Xiaowen certainly understands it.

In fact, if you change to a person with a higher vision, you will inevitably combine Yuan Shao's temperament and analyze that Bai Xiaowen may not be able to get Yuan Shao's love if he fights without authorization. When the situation is unclear and the news is unknown, it will be relatively distant.

"Xianyi led the army all the way, and it was hard work. It's better to rest in Bingzhou, don't go back to Youzhou!"

Gao Gan said excitedly, "When my uncle calms Yuzhou and Yanzhou, the old thief Zhong Xuan will definitely panic." When the time comes, you and my brother will work together to cross the river to the south, level Sizhou in one fell swoop, and help my uncle complete the great cause of unifying the north. ”

Bai Xiaowen sighed silently in his heart, this senior cadre didn't know the news of Guandu yet.

However, Bai Xiaowen also had a reason, he politely refused: "Brother, thank you brother for your kindness." However, I came this time, I can't stay in Bingzhou for a long time, the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials are with the army, and I must rush to Yecheng in Jizhou as soon as possible to settle down the imperial court. In this way, our army will be able to hold the authority of the world, which is a vital matter. ”

Gao Gan nodded suddenly: "Xianyi is right!"

Immediately, an entourage took wine, and the two drank opposite each other.

Gao Gan intended to get close, so he talked about his childhood, and a few years ago, when the Yuan family had not yet established a place, everyone lived together.

Bai Xiaowen didn't know much about the past, but he was quick to think, he didn't show timidity, and when he sat and talked, he quoted scriptures. In Gao Gan's eyes, this second cousin is really a good talker.

During the banquet, Bai Xiaowen saw that the atmosphere was already hot, so he smiled and said, "Brother, my brother once heard something from my father. ”

"What?"

Bai Xiaowen said: "My father once told Fu Zhu that he wanted all the sons to have a state to see what they could ......."

When Gao Gan heard this, he was shocked: "This ...... Is that true?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled and nodded.

Gao Gan was convinced, but in his heart he began to think about the reason why Bai Xiaowen said this.

Bai Xiaowen immediately said: "Although my father is in the prime of spring and autumn, the three of us brothers, except for the third brother Xianfu who has not yet reached the crown, my eldest brother and I are all adults. I don't know what my cousin thinks, who is the most capable between me and my eldest brother and third brother?"

Gao Gan hesitated slightly, and then said decisively: "Naturally, he is the strongest in Xianyi, leading the army to drive thousands of miles, breaking the enemy's capital, and returning with the Son of Heaven. ”

Bai Xiaowen said again: "Then cousin thinks, among the three of us, who is most qualified to inherit my father's great cause?"

There's a little discourse trap here. Yuan Shao said before that he would let all the sons take charge of a state to see what they could do, and then Gao Gan personally recognized that Bai Xiaowen's ability was the strongest, so the conclusion of who would be the heir in the end seemed to be about to come out.

Gao Gan is not a resourceful person, and through the intention of drinking, he blurted out a sentence: "Naturally Xianyi is the most qualified ......"

Bai Xiaowen smiled and patted the back of Gao Gan's hand: "If my father asks, cousin, don't forget what I said today." If I can really inherit the family business, the position of the third prince and the position of the prince on the other day, I should wait for my cousin. ”
