Bai Xiaowen gathered the civil and military officials in Youzhou and received the general''s order from Yuan Shao.
Even Taoist langyazi came uninvited and stood in a corner without saying a word. A group of Youzhou officials, although somewhat strange about the Taoist priest''s appearance, saw that Bai Xiaowen did not drive away, so no one came to question.
Guandu emissary read out the general''s order. In his words, he didn''t praise or belittle Bai Xiaowen''s capture of the four counties in Eastern Liaoning, but just talked about it. The disposal of the newly discovered yellow napkin thief was to send Jiao TA and Zhang Nan with 5000 troops.
However, Yuan Xi was reprimanded in the letter. We should not make the news of the yellow scarf army all over the city. But it''s just reprimand and no substantive Punishment -- Yuan Xi''s identity is Yuan Shao''s own son after all.
"Second childe, that''s all the general''s orders."
The emissary sent by Guandu still respects Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "please report to your father, and Xi will obey the military order." after that, he ordered the bodyguard to take the messenger to drink the horse and rest. After rest, he returned to Guandu to resume his life.
After the Guandu messenger left, Bai Xiaowen scanned the hall.
Yan Rou first stepped out and said, "the childe made great contributions to the capture of the four counties in Liaodong. Unexpectedly, he was taken by the general without any reward. It''s really surprising."
Zhao Rong said with a wry smile, "on the contrary, he was reprimanded by the Lord because the news of the yellow scarf army could not be kept secret."
Other officials in Youzhou expressed their attitude one after another. They dare not complain about Yuan Shao''s unfair reward and punishment, but they all feel that the second childe has been wronged.
Bai Xiaowen said calmly, "this is the end of the matter. You don''t need to defend me. General Jiao touch and general Zhang Nan personally ordered you two in the order given by your father. I hope you will fight bravely and win and return as soon as possible."
Jiao touch and Zhang Nan looked at each other and saluted with their fists: "we will not humiliate the life of the general."
Bai Xiaowen then asked Zhao Rong to be responsible for the allocation of military grain, arranged some logistics matters for the army''s expedition, and waved them away.
Zhao Rong and others took a peek at Bai Xiaowen''s calm face and left one after another.
Langyazi arched his hand and said, "I admire you for your extraordinary bearing. Now the battle is coming. If you have a drive, I will follow it with one word."
Bai Xiaowen took a deep look at langyazi and said with a smile, "thank you, Taoist priest. Youzhou civil and military officials have a lot of resistance to Taoist practitioners. Taoist priest, don''t mind."
Langyazi said calmly, "I am a man of cultivation and only want to deal with the dragon among people. As for those ordinary people, the Tao is different and do not work together."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly, and langyazi left immediately.
Shortly after the officials left the hall, two female generals stepped into the hall.
It was Qiao Rui and Li Shuyi who came. One was in Guandu and the other was in Jizhou. They were responsible for intelligence transfer and contacting Tian Yu. Now a war was imminent. After arranging the affairs, they returned to Youzhou.
For example, Qiao Rui has developed a new business route with Zhen in the past few days. It goes directly from Youzhou to Guandu. The front-line intelligence does not need to turn halfway and can go directly to Bai Xiaowen''s desk.
After giving the letter to Tian Yu and getting his support, Li Shuyi returned secretly.
Qiao Rui and Li Shuyi were away for a few days. Bai Xiaowen gave them an excuse to "buy". For the governor of Youzhou, it''s just a small matter to find an excuse to cancel their leave. There''s no need to mention it.
Now, there are only five members of Baihuang team left in the hall.
"Well, we split up for more than four days, and the team gathered for the first time. You can report anything... Start with Shuyi." Bai Xiaowen said.
Li Shuyi thought: "I heard that in Yuan Shao''s camp, there was almost a quarrel for your business. Yuan Shao smashed all the things on the table."
Qiao Rui smiled: "I know more about the specific process. General Tian Yu''s letter basically stated the situation at that time... Feng Ji and Guo Tu slandered and tried to get Yuan Shao to remove his position as captain and return to Jizhou to support his mother. Fortunately, the supervisor tried his best to persuade them, but they didn''t succeed. Yuan Shao was angry and smashed because Ju revealed his shortcomings and mentioned the black mountain thief Zhang Yan. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "although Feng Ji and Guo Tu have some wisdom, they are too selfish. In the romance, these two people are yuan Shang, the third assistant, and Yuan Tan, the eldest assistant. Although they don''t deal with it, they have one thing in common. They don''t want me to show off and add an enemy."
Li Shuyi said: "Yuan Shao''s ears are too soft. It feels like he is dominated by the counselors under his hand. He has no decision-making power of the leader."
"Yuan Shao has this character," Bai Xiaowen said, "In the romance, Guan Yu first beheaded his general Yan Liang, and then the literary clown. At this time, Liu Bei happened to be attached to him. Yuan Shao was very angry with Liu Bei at the beginning of listening to the words of his counselors. He wanted to push him out and behead him twice, but he was dissolved by Liu Bei''s words. Instead, he turned around and blamed his counselors, which almost made him bear the name of harming sages."
Li Shuyi said, "isn''t he afraid of the cold heart of the soldiers when he treats you such a meritorious Minister?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "Haven''t Yuan Shao done much to worry about? Imprisoning Tian Feng and later imprisoning Ju Fu are not mentioned. Just one thing: after Wen Chou was beheaded, Liu Bei said that he could write to Guan Yu to persuade Guan Yu to obey and help Yuan Shao. What happened? Before Yan Liang''s body was cold, Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said, ''if you get a cloud, you will be ten times better than Yan Liang''s Wen Chou''. What''s wrong with such words and deeds It''s not more chilling for Hebei soldiers. "
Qiao Rui said, "if it weren''t for this, Yuan Shao would not have lost to Cao Cao. It''s unreasonable for him to be invincible."
Li Shuyi asked a question: "Xiaowen, after you found the clue of the remnant of the yellow scarf army, you made a storm all over the city. Why? Yuan Shao also said that you are not suitable for being handsome. It will be more difficult to inherit your family business in the future."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "I didn''t intend that Yuan Shao could directly pass on his position to me. Does it matter whether he likes or hates my son? As for making things big, it''s to make Yuan Shao decide to send troops to suppress thieves so that I can completely control Youzhou."
The teammates'' eyes lit up.
"It seems that the captain has a plan," said Jorie.
"Of course, in order to ensure the success of the plan, I specially called you back... However, I didn''t expect a Taoist who claimed to be younger martial brother Zhang Jiao to appear. At present, it seems that this Taoist should be on our side. If I knew so, there''s no need for you to rush back."
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "of course, you can also benefit from coming back. You can win a lot of war contributions in the campaign to eliminate Zhang Jiao!"
