Chapter 1259 Surprise Rumors, Fight for Position!
After Gao Gan said what he just said, he regretted his slip of the tongue, but Bai Xiaowen's promise gave him hope again.
He couldn't help thinking to himself: With the character and talent of the second cousin, it is not only natural to inherit the great cause of his uncle, but also the best way to carry it forward. In this way, it shouldn't be a wrong choice to bet on the second cousin in advance.
Thinking of this, Gao Gan simply stated clearly: "Xianyi don't worry, if uncle really asks about me, I will tell the truth and support you as heir."
Bai Xiaowen nodded with a smile.
The honor given to high-ranking cadres is also based on the trend of the Three Kingdoms era, which was the era of cronyism, and the wisdom of the people has not yet been popularized. In most cases, the children of well-educated families are better than the children of poor families.
In addition, people in the Three Kingdoms era paid more attention to promises to their relatives and colleagues. Since senior cadres made it clear, they generally would not change their words unless special circumstances occurred.
After this conversation, Gao Gan suddenly felt that the relationship with his second cousin was closer, and there was a hint of an alliance.
Later, he talked about Confucianism and Taoism. Just as he was talking, suddenly a follower reported that a messenger had arrived in Jizhou.
Gao Gan ordered please come in.
The person who came in was none other than Li Shuyi who rushed back from the Guandu battlefield!
Li Shuyi (team channel): "Xiaowen, I have good news and bad news for you. Yuan Shao is dead! But Yuan Shang should still be alive. The Awakened God Court found me and said they would bring Yuan Shang back. Do you think it is possible? "
Bai Xiaowen (team channel): "Haha, they really did this kind of detrimental deeds. However, I have made a plan. Even if Yuan Shang is alive, there will be no disturbance. Shuyi, brew your emotions. Sitting next to me is my cheap cousin, you have to think about it before you tell this news."
Li Shuyi lowered her head and wiped the dust off her face.
At this time, Gao Gan had already asked: "Are you an envoy from Jizhou? It's the general... Oh no, did Da Sima send you here? Do you have a letter?"
Bai Xiaowen built a bridge for Li Shuyi: "Brother, this is my general, named Li Shu. Although she is a woman, she is quite courageous, and she does not give way to a woman. When she broke through Xudu that day, she was the first One climbed to the top of the city."
There are very few female generals in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but in the spiritual world, there is no gender discrimination.
Powerful female generals abound, so Gao Gan is not surprised by Li Shuyi's gender, but has a sense of admiration:
"It turned out to be General Li."
Bai Xiaowen then said: "After I defeated Xudu, I sent her to Guandu to preach the edict. General Li, you must have rushed back from the Guandu battlefield, right? Do you have any information? Has father already occupied Henan?"
Li Shuyi had already prepared her emotions at this time, and fell to her knees again with a thud: "My lord, my lord, my lord, he defeated Guandu and died at the hands of Cao thief!"
This news was almost like a bolt from the blue.
Of course, the only one who was frightened was the senior cadre, he could hardly believe his ears: "What did you say?"
Bai Xiaowen also stood up abruptly: "Impossible! Li Shu, do you know how important this news is, there must be no falsehood!"
Li Shuyi complained silently in her heart, with a sad face on her gray and black face: "Young Master, the matter is very important, even if I lend ten courage to the last general, I dare not lie. Cao Jun is cunning, burning Wuchao's food and grass, hurting our army's morale Floating, and then using tricks to trick our army into dividing our troops, and in the final decisive battle, our army will be defeated at the touch of a touch, and hundreds of thousands of troops will be scattered..."
Li Shuyi gave a brief account of the battle of Guandu, and at this time the high officials believed it.
Just believing it doesn't mean he can accept and digest the news, Gao Gan is still dumbfounded.
Bai Xiaowen suddenly overturned the table: "Cao thief! I swear to kill you!"
Then he closed his eyes, kicked his legs, and fell straight down like a piece of wood.
Gao Gan exclaimed: "Xianyi!" He hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, but he managed to prevent Bai Xiaowen from hitting the back of his head on the ground.
Then, in the midst of pinching people randomly, Bai Xiaowen "woke up leisurely".
Gao Gan was originally upset, but when he saw Bai Xiaowen fainted in front of him, he calmed down and hurriedly persuaded him, "Xianyi, I'm sorry. The situation in Henan and Hebei is chaotic now, and you are needed to take charge of the overall situation. If you If you fall down again, there is really no hope!"
Bai Xiaowen said in his heart, what he is waiting for is your words.
"Cousin, please prepare filial piety for me."
After Bai Xiaowen finished his first sentence, Gao Gan quickly ordered others to do it.
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath and said: "The hatred of killing one's father is unshakable. If I don't take revenge, am I a son of man? However, our army is newly defeated. If we want to avenge Cao Cao, we must first stabilize Jizhou and slow down. Okay. Now, the bandit Cao Xu has been defeated, and all the heroes of the world are ordered to seek the bandits, he is too busy stabilizing the situation in the Henan provinces, he has no energy to go north, we still have time to regroup the army."
Gao Gan agreed deeply, nodded and said: "Xian Yi's words are true."
Bai Xiaowen said again: "The inheritance left by my father must not be without an owner."
Gao Gan nodded again and said: "That's right, there must be a backbone first, so we brothers can accomplish great things together. Xianyi, this heavy responsibility belongs to you, you must not refuse!"
Bai Xiaowen nodded, took Gao Gan's hand and said: "Confucius once said, benevolent, not to let my teacher. Now is an extraordinary time, brother will definitely not be humble. I hope brother will help me."
Gao Gan said: "Don't worry about showing your talents, Brother Yu will definitely call on the people of Bingzhou to help you."
Bai Xiaowen felt a long-lost excitement. Now that Yuan Shao is dead, the biggest obstacle preventing him from becoming the master of power has been removed!
Next, inherit the great cause, digest the "inheritance" left by Yuan Shao as much as possible, compete with the heroes, and dominate the world, wouldn't it be great!
Bai Xiaowen immediately summoned Zhang Wenwu to raise the account to discuss matters.
Now his team has begun to take shape, Wen has Xun Yu, Lou Gui, Dong Zhao, Sima Yi; Wu has Jiao Chu, Zhang Nan. In addition, a group of talents from Youzhou and Liaodong should be counted, which is more than enough for a separatist warlord, but it is not enough to win the world.
The civil servants and generals under Yuan Shao's command must be recruited for their own use as soon as possible before they are eligible to compete for the world.
Xun Yu and the others were shocked when they saw Bai Xiaowen was completely naked and had a white scarf on his head.
When Bai Xiaowen told about the Guandu incident, everyone had different expressions.
Dong Zhao seemed to be remorseful, but he concealed it very well. It wasn't for Bai Xiaowen's power of observation that he couldn't see it at all; Xun Yu's face was still calm, similar to Lou Gui. But Sima Yi's eyes rolled slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Everyone persuaded Bai Xiaowen to mourn first, and Bai Xiaowen also vowed revenge, needless to say.
After the scene was explained, Bai Xiaowen turned to the main topic: "Now that my father has passed away, the four prefectures in Hebei are in danger. You are the first batch of people who know the news. I wonder if there is any good strategy to teach me?"
