As Haobai entered Yecheng, Yuan Shao fell ill and died, and the war between Haobai and Yuan Shao finally came to an end.

And the remaining Youzhou and Merge States also quickly fell into the hands of Haobai, and there was no suspense at all.

And what Haobai has to do now is to stabilize the four northern states.

The four northern states were originally anointed lands, even the very barren Youzhou, after Liu Yu's governance, the government had enough money and food, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

However, after the recent toss of Yuan Shao, not to mention the unbearable taxation of the common people, a large number of elite laborers were captured to go to war, which caused great damage to the productive forces.

Especially in the past six months, Yuan Shao has collected more than 400,000 troops before and after, making a large number of fields barren and the people miserable.

However, for Haobai, these are not problems, after occupying the four northern states, Haobai distributed a large amount of food and various materials, but did not starve to death.

The real challenge is to calm the hearts of the people here, after all, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family are not talking, and many families still recognize the Yuan family.

However, Haobai's generous burial of Yuan Shao won the favor of people such as frustration and trial, although he did not worship Haobai directly, but he was assisting in governing and appeasing the people, making Haobai's foundation in the north much more stable.

And Haobai also reciprocated the favor and appointed Fu Zhu as the pastor of Jizhou, and the trial was appointed as the pastor of the state.

......

Just when the corresponding work was proceeding in an orderly manner, a piece of holy decree came from Xu Du, and the messenger was the Wei General Dong Cheng!

Haobai cordially received Dong Cheng from Xudu in his temporary residence in Yecheng.

Haobai made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion and was named the protector of the country.

Originally, Cao Cao asked to reward Haobai from other aspects, but he didn't expect that this little emperor would go further than he thought, and directly promoted Haobai to the protector of the country.

Guogong, this is very weighty, even if he makes great contributions, he will generally not be crowned as a Guogong, and unlike the three dukes in the court, Guogong is a title, obviously it is a special situation now, which is why he is crowned Guogong.

After Dong Cheng finished passing the decree and entered the hall with Haobai, he immediately changed into a humble look, bowed down to Haobai and said: "Congratulations to the protector of the country, it can be regarded as one person under ten thousand people, which shows Your Majesty's grace, and I hope not to live up to Your Majesty's high hopes." ”

Immediately, Dong Cheng's face suddenly turned pale, he looked around, and then looked at Hao Bai and said: "The lower officials have something important to discuss with the protector, can you retreat!"

Haobai looked stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to signal the guards on the left and right to retreat, and then stretched out his hand to ask Dong Cheng to sit down in front of a desk in the middle of the hall, and he also sat opposite him, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what Guozhang has to say!"

Dong Cheng's body leaned closer and asked mysteriously, "I don't know what the Protector thinks of Cao Sikong." ”

Haobai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Oh, but Your Majesty is dissatisfied with Cao Cao and wants me to attack Cao Cao." ”

Seeing that Haobai was so straightforward, Dong Cheng was shocked and said: "Shicai Dong just said casually, Cao Sikong is loyal, how can Your Majesty kill him, don't take it to heart." ”

It seems that the little emperor saw that he was now strong and was going to make trouble for Cao Cao again, and now he came over just to test Haobai's tone.

As soon as Dong Cheng left, he saw a guard rushing over: "General Qiyu, Cao Sikong sent an envoy to ask for a meeting!"

Soon, in the hall, a scribe in his forties appeared, it was Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu was also one of the most important advisers under Cao Cao, and now that he came here, he was likely to have something very important.

As soon as Cheng Yu saw Haobai coming, he hurriedly saluted forward: "Cheng Yu, the next official, meet the general!"

After a round of salutes, the two sat down separately.

Haobai asked, "I don't know what Brother Meng De asked you to come here, what is the so-called matter!"

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "I heard that the general broke Yuan Shao, and got the favor of His Majesty and added an official to the knighthood, Cao Sikong wanted to make friends with the general, so he sent the official to congratulate him." ”

Hao Bai just let out a faint sigh, and his expression was very cold.

He will do this mainly because Cao Cao is too pitiful, you must know that Cao Cao was supposed to face Yuan Shao's army alone, but in the end, it has always been as long as Haobai is fighting with Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao is dragging it, and now he is also taking the opportunity to win Qingzhou.

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Today, on the order of Cao Sikong, I specially offer a small gift to congratulate the joy of the promotion of the Duke of the Protector of the Kingdom." ”

After speaking, he respectfully presented a gift list.

1,000 taels of gold, 1,000 pearls, and 30 beauties.

, this is really a generous gift, especially the thirty beauties, who are simply grooms every night, and queue up to enter the cave room for a month without repeating, which is something that men must like......

Haobai's face immediately turned pale, his eyes were full of murder, and he said coldly: "Gold and jade, you can't eat hungry, you can't wear clothes in the cold, what's the use of coming, but ...... There are thirty beauties in this country, but you can present them to see, you must know that this duke is not a lustful person, but just wants to see how beautiful this so-called beauty is. ”

Cheng Yu was already very disappointed, but when he heard his sudden turn, his heart rose to his throat, and then after hearing the words behind, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Yu showed a relieved smile on his face, and gently slapped his palm a few times, then he heard the sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then a gust of fragrant wind hit and drilled into the vast white nose.

In a short time, the hall was filled with dozens of pretty women in bright clothes.

Thirty beauties, some are graceful, some are picturesque, some are like ladies, some are like small jasper, some are heroic, some are dignified and beautiful, ring fat and thin, and they are purple and red, only to see Hao Bai dazzled.

Cheng Yu seems to have done enough homework on this trip, introducing Haobai one by one, this graceful beauty can dance ancient dance, this heroic beauty can dance the sword, this ten-fingered slender beauty can calligraphy, this beauty in the show wisdom can recite poems, and there are also those who can play the piano, can play the guzheng, can press the shoulders and legs, can paint, can play Go, all of them are talented and beautiful, can be a skill, and listen to Hao Bai's eyebrows and smile.

Finally, Cheng Yu pointed to a beautiful woman holding a long bamboo musical instrument and said, "This girl is good at blow ^_^ job." ”

Burst~

Haobai had just taken a sip of wine, and when he heard Cheng Yu's introduction, he suddenly felt a flood of desolation surging from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't feel that a mouthful of old wine spurted out.

Cheng Yu, who was originally dancing with his eyebrows, suddenly saw Haobai like this, and couldn't help but look shocked, and asked urgently: "Could it be that the general doesn't like this girl." ”

Haobai regained his expression and said with a smile: "Very good, very good, these women are very good, since it is Cao Sikong's beauty, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, so I have to laugh and accept it." ”

These beauties are just assigned to the Wenchen generals under Haobai's command, and Haobai himself will not want it anyway, this is obviously Cao Cao's sugar-coated cannonball.
