Among yuan''s camp, a group of strong generals from Cao''s camp have been added, and their strength has increased greatly.


    It goes without saying that Bai Xiaowen sent Cao''s generals to gather the fleeing troops of the Anyang war.


    However, there are three other people that Bai Xiaowen cares about, and they did not surrender.


    There are two prisoners, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.


    When Xun Yu went to persuade him to surrender, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai had heard the news that Cao Cao had committed suicide on Changyuan. They coughed up blood for several liters and were ill in bed.


    In fact, both of them have a kind of self reproach psychology.


    As a military strategist, he used Cao Xiong as a bait to let yuan''s troops destroy Cao Xiong and kill two birds with one stone. Guo Jia originally put forward the plan and Xi Zhicai perfected it.


    As a result, this plan was seen through by the enemy, which directly led to Cao Jun''s loss of the first opportunity in planning and a big loss.


    In contrast, the generals of Cao Cao camp do not have so much psychological burden, especially Zhang Liao and others, who have followed Cao Cao for a short time and have not formed the inherent concept of serving Cao Cao as their Lord for life; Plus they have tried their best in the war, of course they won''t feel guilty.


    Guo Jia himself is very conceited, and he is indeed a first-class counselor, so his expectations for himself are very high. Such a huge strategic failure has led to the defeat of the assistant Lord, and it is conceivable that it has dealt a great blow to them.


    Not to mention, Cao Cao had a very good personal relationship with them. This kind of relationship between monarchs, ministers and good friends can be passed down as good stories in ancient and modern times, but now, it can only add more sadness.


    The two counselors resolutely refused Bai Xiaowen''s solicitation.


    Guo Jia sent a message: "we rely on this square inch (square inch: heart) to plan strategies. Now that the square inch is in chaos, we are useless. Even if we help the big Sima, it is useless. If the big Sima wants to kill us and prevent future trouble, we will lead the neck to kill; if we don''t kill, we will return to Shanze and don''t ask about world affairs."


    Of course, Bai Xiaowen will not kill Guo Jia. The main reason is that both of them are literati. Killing them is not beneficial, but harmful.


    After receiving the message, Bai Xiaowen stopped demanding.


    Counsellors like Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are too ambitious to afford to lose. Note that the "can''t afford to lose" here doesn''t mean that you can''t afford to lose, but that you can''t and dare not lose! If you lose an important strategy and then give advice as a counselor, you are bound to increase a lot of scruples. In short, confidence is lost.


    Bai Xiaowen asked himself, if he lost once, would he also have this mentality of self doubt?


    It''s hard to say. Because Bai Xiaowen hasn''t lost yet.


    However, Bai Xiaowen hopes that his toughness will be stronger and learn from the indomitable Cao Cao and Sima Yi. It is not terrible to lose a plan at one time, but it is terrible to lose confidence at this time.


    Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai fell ill with hematemesis this time, which confirms a sentence: deep love does not live, wisdom will hurt.


    Bai Xiaowen can only let the medical officer take good care of Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai''s body, and make it clear to them. When they recover, they are free to go.


    Another talent is Jia Xu.


    Jia Xu''s strategic level is also first-rate in the romance of the Three Kingdoms. Moreover, the goods have a strong desire to survive. They have a feeling of "if you die, I''ll live by myself". If you can catch them, Bai Xiaowen is 100% sure that Jia Xu can help him.


    However... Jia Xu ran away long ago!


    Bai Xiaowen learned after investigation that Jia Xu and Guo Jia followed Cao Cao on the Northern Expedition together. However, on the night of the decisive battle, Xia Houdun was used by Bai Xiaowen to lure the tiger away from the mountain. After he was transferred away, Jia Xu ran away in silence.


    Finally, nandaying was burned, and Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were caught, but Jia Xu was not caught.


    Bai Xiaowen can''t help it. He can''t want Jia Xu. Otherwise, it will be a trouble for this guy to run to other camps.


    It is also worth mentioning that Liu Ye, another adviser of Cao Cao, also disappeared.


    The time of his disappearance is very intriguing. It happens to be the same time as Richard, the head of the awakening of the divine court, fled the plane of the Three Kingdoms.


    Bai Xiaowen doesn''t know whether Liu Ye disappeared by coincidence or whether one of the awakened people in shenting training camp cut in and pretended to be.


    As for other Cao Jun counselors, such as Cheng Yu, they are similar to Dong Zhao and have no special skills to assist the Lord.


    In Xudu, Bai Xiaowen met the chief executives of various counties in Henan, and let them still return to their original posts. Among them, outstanding people such as Zhong Yao were rewarded and promoted, which quickly stabilized the people''s hearts in Henan.


    So far, the first phase of the main task has taken 13 days.


    Bai Xiaowen then convened the civil and military forces to hold a high-level military discussion again. Using the authority to formulate national policies, he intended to find the next unified mission goal for the yuan camp.


    This time, Tian Feng, Xun Yu and many other strategists all took the same attitude to eliminate bandits, rectify internal affairs and digest the fruits of victory.


    Relaxation is the way of writing and martial arts.


    Bai Xiaowen also understands this truth. He has to take his fist back first and then fight it out to be more powerful. From a long-term perspective, if we have three months to six months to rectify internal affairs and connect Henan and Hebei into an iron plate, Bai Xiaowen will almost remain invincible.


    After unifying the north, Cao Cao, who lost so badly in the battle of Chibi, still dominates the north. His strength is so strong that he needs the joint efforts of sun and Liu to compete. We know how terrible the potential Bai Xiaowen has at this time.


    It''s one thing to know this truth.


    But the rules of the spirit world don''t admit it!


    Including Heishan Zhang Yan, Qingzhou bandits, Bingzhou horse thieves and so on, it failed to trigger the second unified main line.


    However, Bai Xiaowen was not in a hurry.


    Thanks to the rapid defeat of Cao Cao camp, the current Baihuang team still has nearly 30 days of free exploration time in the Three Kingdoms.


    Just trigger the next unified main line within these 30 days.


    If you can''t, forcibly improve your goals, such as annexing Jingzhou or Yizhou, can always trigger the second stage task.


    Therefore, after discussing with the civil and military officials of the camp, Bai Xiaowen decided not to expand the use of troops outside for the time being, but to recruit bandits, train elite troops and save food and grass.


    Cao''s group''s defeated troops finally gathered more than 70000 people.


    The overall combat quality of these 70000 people is not weak, which is better than the 60000 elite soldiers selected by Bai Xiaowen from the 120000 yuan army. They can all be incorporated into the army.


    However, Bai Xiaowen ordered the elimination of 20000 people for reclamation.


    His idea is that soldiers are expensive and not expensive. Sitting in the north, 100000 elite soldiers are enough. For example, Bai Xiaowen did not recognize Cao Cao''s military action of sending millions of troops to invade Jiangdong after unifying the north.


    However, only a few days after the quiet days of farming and military training, something came to the door again.


    Xiliang army sent messengers to yedU!
