Zhao Rong: "... Ten thousand Guan is good. Now Youzhou''s Treasury is empty. If this money and grain is injected, the next time the senior general asks for food, he can finally support it."


    Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and said, "wait a minute. Don''t drive. You can''t just take advantage of the trouble... There''s a big problem in the four counties of Liaodong."


    Zhao Rong said, "what''s the problem?" he arrived from Peiping overnight and didn''t know the news of the yellow scarf army.


    Bai Xiaowen told the yellow scarf thief.


    "The yellow scarf thief was found in Liaodong?! is this news true?" Zhao Rong said in surprise.


    "The thief chieftain Guo Cai, together with more than ten of his followers, was taken to prison. There are other accounts here. There are both human and material evidence. Is there any inconclusive reason?" Bai Xiaowen said.


    "Then... Childe means..."


    "Of course it will be exterminated," Bai Xiao''s Institute of Arts and Sciences said naturally. "We, the emperor of the Great Han Dynasty of the yuan family, shepherd and guard Youzhou. How can we allow these bandits to disturb the people? The troops and horses in Eastern Liaoning have not been attached and should not be used. This war must be fought by the people and horses of Youzhou."


    Zhao Rong secretly Tucao: make complaints about this? Who doesn''t know that the Heishan thieves in Jizhou have been entrenched for three years, and the general hasn''t turned a blind eye.


    But on the face of it, Zhao Rong couldn''t refute it. He only nodded and said, "if you want to use Youzhou people and horses, you must get the permission of the general. Childe, you might as well write a letter and ask for the command of the general. In this way, general Jiao touch, Zhang Nan and Yan Rou dare to move."


    Yan Rou led 500 soldiers before. The scale was very small. It was only that there were twice as many guards around "Yuan Xi". It was not considered to be an army.


    Of course, Bai Xiaowen did amazing things with these 500 soldiers. It''s better than going to war. This is also the reason why Zhao Rong said that "the childe has done great things". This exclamation is roughly equivalent to the "lying trough" of the ancients.


    It''s obviously not a small fight to deal with the yellow scarf thieves of more than 2000 people.


    Bai Xiaowen had expected Zhao Ronghui to say so. He nodded and said, "it''s OK to write a letter, but it needs Zhao''s joint name."


    Zhao Rong wanted to say, can I not go into this muddy water?


    But look at Bai Xiaowen''s meaning, it''s really not good not to go through the muddy water. Ten thousand yuan of money and grain are not taken in vain.


    Finally, the letter to Yuan Shao was written by Bai Xiaowen himself. At the end, in addition to his own name, Zhao Rong''s name was also signed.


    ……


    Two days later, Guandu Yuanjun camp.


    Yuan shaogao sits on the throne. He was dressed in military uniform, with a white complexion and three wisps of long beard. Anyone who sees it should praise it. It is worthy of the four generations and three princes. This bearing is extraordinary!


    There are two rows of long tables below. A group of counselors sit down on the left and right. There are more than ten people.


    In terms of number, it is several times stronger than Cao Cao''s think tank.


    Unfortunately, although there are a large number of people, most of them are bastards and only follow suit.


    Only three or four people can really give advice and get the weight of Yuan Shaoxin.


    "Report the emergency military situation in Youzhou!"


    Yuan Shao''s eyes coagulated: "bring it up!"


    Three Youzhou cavalry, dusty, rushed into the camp.


    "My Lord, I have a letter from the second childe. I should respond to the military situation in the letter." the chief messenger knelt down, took a letter out of his arms and put his hands on his head.


    The waiter took the letter and passed it to Yuan Shao.


    "Oh? It''s still signed by Zhao Rong and Xi''er."


    Yuan Shao paid a little attention in his heart and opened the letter sealed with fire paint.


    After reading it, Yuan Shao couldn''t help but look happy and exclaimed: "I didn''t expect Xi''er to do such a big thing in Youzhou!"


    All the counselors below are curious. One of them said, "Lord, what is the military situation in Youzhou?"


    Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Xianyi (Yuan Xi''s handwriting) wrote that he brought 500 elite soldiers into Liaodong and wiped out Gongsun and his son. Since then, the four counties in Liaodong have also been under the rule of yuan."


    The first reaction of the advisers was:


    How is that possible?


    Yuan Shao smiled and passed the letter to the public.


    In fact, Yuan Shao''s first reaction was unbelievable, but the benefits of Zhao Rong''s signature were reflected, which greatly improved the credibility of this letter.


    Yuan Shao got up, paced in the account and said with a smile, "this Xi''er has been silent. I didn''t expect to earn Gongsun Du, father and son..."


    Yuan Shang, the third in the camp who served his father, was envious and jealous when he saw him. He looked at a counselor in the first row of his right hand.


    The Counselor''s name was Feng Ji, and he was also famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms.


    Feng Ji glanced at Yuan Shang''s eyes and nodded slightly. He had finished reading the letter and thought about how to speak.


    At this time, yuan shaozheng asked the counselors, "it''s a great credit to Xianyi to get the land of four counties without a single soldier. In your opinion, how can you reward it?"


    Every Ji got up and immediately all the counselors who wanted to speak closed their mouths.


    Feng Ji bowed and said, "Lord, in my opinion, the second childe should not be rewarded, but should be blamed."


    "Oh?" Yuan Shao frowned. "What does that mean?"


    Feng Ji had already figured it out in his heart and said slowly: "Tell your Lord, now our army is in a stalemate with Cao thieves. If we win, we can unify the north. This is a strategy related to the overall situation, and we can''t afford to lose! Stability should be the top priority in Youzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou and Bingzhou in the rear. The second childe''s move is too risky. If you say something bad, it''s the courage of every man. He doesn''t think about the consequences if things fail."


    Seeing yuan shaomei''s head locked and lost in thought, Feng Ji continued: "If the event is defeated and the second childe is captured or killed by Gongsun, Liaodong will betray and Youzhou will be in chaos in the rear. Fortunately, the second childe relies on Yuan''s reputation and Lord Hongfu to succeed. However, if the Lord rewards the second childe, he will encourage other officials guarding the rear to do the same. How can our army compete with Cao thieves when the rear is unstable?"


    "Moreover, in the bitter and cold land of Eastern Liaoning, it is not enough to support the army, but a small profit. Compared with the great cause of the Lord''s struggle for supremacy in the world, which is more important? May the Lord think carefully!"


    Guo Tu also took the opportunity to say, "Lord, Gongsun Du invited the young master to a banquet because he was prominent in the yuan family and wanted to make friends. Therefore, he was unprepared and taken advantage of by the second young master. I''m afraid all the princes in the world will laugh at me for my lack of faith and righteousness. Who dares to make friends with us?"


    Feng Ji and Guo Tu were almost the most trusted counselors of Yuan Shao. As soon as they made a statement, a group of melon eating counselors behind them naturally responded in unison.


    Yuan Shao sat down slowly, patted the case and said, "if it weren''t for your words, I would almost have made a big mistake. Xianyi''s move really shouldn''t be rewarded, so that people wouldn''t follow suit and mess up our army''s plans. I delivered Youzhou to him. I expected him to be honest, but I didn''t expect to cause trouble for me!"


    From joy to anger, Yuan Shao''s temperament changes as fast as that of Sichuan Opera. Just now he said how to reward Yuan Xi, and in the twinkling of an eye he had to think about how to punish and blame.
