Bai Xiaowen gathered the civil and military officials in Youzhou and received Yuan Shao's general order.

Even the Taoist priest Langyazi came uninvited, standing silently in the corner. A group of Youzhou officials, although they were a little strange about the appearance of this Taoist priest, saw that Bai Xiaowen did not drive them away, so no one came to question.

The envoy of Guandu read out the general's order, and between his words, he did not praise or depreciate Bai Xiaowen's seizure of the four counties in Liaodong, but only said a word. The disposal of the newly discovered Yellow Turban thieves is to send Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan to lead 5,000 troops to the expedition.

However, the letter still reprimanded Yuan Xi that the news of the Yellow Turban Army should not be all over the city. But it was just a reprimand, and there was no substantive punishment - Yuan Xi's identity is still Yuan Shao's biological son after all.

"Second son, that's all for the general's orders. ”

The envoy sent by Guandu still had a very respectful attitude towards Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Please also report to my father, Xi will definitely follow the military order." With that, he ordered the guards to take the messenger to drink and rest, and then return to Guandu to resume his life.

After the envoy of Guandu left, Bai Xiaowen glanced around the hall.

Yan Rou was the first to come out and said: "Gongzi has made a great contribution to the capture of the four counties in Liaodong this time, but I didn't expect to be taken by the general without any reward, which is really surprising." ”

Zhao Rong smiled bitterly and said: "On the contrary, because the news of the Yellow Turban Army was not hidden, I was reprimanded by the lord. ”

Other officials in Youzhou have expressed their attitudes. They didn't dare to complain about Yuan Shao's unfair rewards and punishments, but they all felt that the second son had been wronged.

Bai Xiaowen said calmly: "The matter has come to this, you don't need to fight for me. The two generals, Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan, in the order issued by their father, personally ordered the two of you, hoping that you will fight bravely and win victory as soon as possible. ”

The two generals, Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan, glanced at each other, and saluted with their fists: "I will not dishonor the general's order." ”

Bai Xiaowen then asked Zhao Rong to be in charge of the deployment of military rations, arranged some logistics for the army to go out, and waved them away.

Zhao Rong and the others peeked at Bai Xiaowen in a calm manner, and did not see his happy and angry face, and left one after another.

Langyazi arched his hand and said: "The son's bearing is extraordinary, and he admires the poor way." Today's expedition is imminent, if there is a drive, but with a word, there is nothing to follow. ”

Bai Xiaowen glanced at Langyazi deeply and said with a smile: "Thank you, Daoist." The civil and military officials in Youzhou have a lot of resistance to cultivators, and the Taoist chief should not mind. ”

Langyazi said indifferently: "Poor Dao is a cultivator, and he is only willing to deal with the dragon among people. As for those ordinary people, the Tao is not the same. ”

Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly, and Langyazi immediately said goodbye and left.

Shortly after the officials in the hall left, two female generals stepped into the hall.

It was Qiao Rui and Li Shuyi who came. The two were originally in Guandu and Jizhou, responsible for intelligence transfer and contacting Tian Yu, but now the war is imminent, and after arranging affairs, they returned to Youzhou.

For example, Qiao Rui, in the past few days, she has joined forces with the Zhen family to develop a new business route, from Youzhou to Guandu, and the intelligence on the front line does not need to turn halfway, and can go directly to Bai Xiaowen's desk.

Li Shuyi handed over the letter to Tian Yu and received his support, and then returned secretly.

Qiao Rui and Li Shuyi were away for a few days, and the excuse Bai Xiaowen gave them was "buying", for Youzhou Thorn History, finding an excuse to sell leave to his subordinates was just a trivial matter, and there was no need to mention it.

Now, there are only five people left in the hall, the White Phoenix Clan.

"Okay, it's been more than four days of splitting up, and the team has gathered for the first time. If there is any situation, can you report it...... Let's start with Shuyi. Bai Xiaowen said.

Li Shuyi thought for a while: "I heard that in Yuan Shao's camp, there was almost a quarrel for your business, and Yuan Shao even smashed everything on the table. ”

Qiao Rui smiled: "I know the specific process better. In General Tian Yu's letter, the situation at that time was basically stated...... Feng Ji and Guo Tu slandered and tried to get Yuan Shao to remove his official position as captain and return to Jizhou to support his mother. Fortunately, the prison guards persuaded them to persuade them, so they did not let these two succeed. Yuan Shao was angry and smashed because he was frustrated and exposed his shortcomings and mentioned the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan. ”

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Feng Ji and Guo Tu, the two strategists, although they have some wisdom, they are too selfish. In the romance, these two people are one assistant to the third elder Yuan Shang, and the other is to assist the eldest Yuan Tan. Although they don't deal with each other, they have one thing in common, they don't want me to be in the limelight and add an opponent. ”

Li Shuyi said: "Yuan Shao's ears are too soft, and he feels like he is being dominated by the strategists under him, and he has no decisive power as a leader at all. ”

"Yuan Shao originally had this kind of character," Bai Xiaowen said, "In the romance, Guan Yu first beheaded his general Yan Liang, and later beheaded Wen Chou. And Liu Bei happened to be attached to him at this time. Yuan Shao listened to the words of his advisers at first, and was very angry with Liu Bei, and wanted to push him out and behead him twice, but he was resolved by Liu Bei's words, but he turned around and blamed his advisers, almost making him bear the name of harming the virtuous. ”

Li Shuyi said: "Then he treats you, a meritorious man, like this, isn't he afraid of the soldiers' cold hearts?"

Bai Xiaowen laughed: "Isn't there much of the chilling thing Yuan Shao has done? Imprisoning Tian Feng, and later imprisoning Frustration, don't mention any of this." Just one thing: After Wen Chou was beheaded, Liu Bei said that he could write a letter to Guan Yu to persuade Guan Yu to return to obedience and help Yuan Shao. As a result, Yan Liangwen's ugly bones were not cold, and Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said: 'If you get Wen Chang, you will be ten times more ugly than Yan Liangwen'. Wouldn't this kind of talking and doing things make the Hebei soldiers even more chilling. ”

Qiao Rui said: "If it weren't for this, Yuan Shao would not have lost to Cao Cao if he had such a family background." This person is undefeated, and heaven cannot tolerate it. ”

Li Shuyi asked a question: "Xiaowen, after you found the clues about the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, you directly caused a storm in the city, why is this? Yuan Shao also said that you are not suitable to be a handsome, and it will be more difficult to inherit the family business in the future." ”

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "I didn't plan that Yuan Shao could pass the position directly to me, what does it matter if he likes or hates my son? As for making things bigger, it is to make Yuan Shao decide to send troops to suppress the thieves, so that I can completely control Youzhou." ”

The eyes of the teammates lit up.

"Looks like the captain has a plan. Qiao Rui said.

"Of course, in order to ensure the success of the plan, I also specially summoned you back...... However, I didn't expect a Taoist priest who claimed to be Zhang Jiao's junior brother to appear. At present, it seems that this Taoist priest should be on our side. If you knew this was the case, there was no need for you to rush back. ”

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Of course, you also have the advantage of coming back, you can win a lot of war contributions in the battle to destroy Zhang Jiao!"
