Bai Xiaowen got the opportunity and ordered Kits to chop off the heads of Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang and his son.
Delifa's ectoplasm spear pierced through the air, displaying two heads.
After Yan Rou saw it, she was shocked: It turned out that the second young master came well prepared. Not only did he not die, he also killed Gongsun and his son!
Shocked, Yan Rou reacted quickly and immediately ordered his sergeants to shout loudly about the murder of Gongsun and his son.
The shouts spread from the main hall to the Marquis Mansion, and from the Marquis Mansion into the city.
The city was bustling with excitement, and Gongsun Du's men were in a daze and had no intention of fighting.
Bai Xiaowen quickly handled the battle at the entrance to the main hall.
Yan Rou led 500 soldiers and captured Yang Yi, who had finally resisted. Several of Yang Yi's soldiers were also captured and killed.
Bai Xiaowen occupied the Hou's Mansion in Liaodong and immediately ordered Yan Rou to go out to pacify the people. What he meant was that he would kill Gongsun and his son and only eliminate the culprits, leaving the others alone. Officials of all sizes in Xiangping City immediately came to the Hou's Mansion to pay homage to the governor, and all their official positions, big and small, were retained.
; The first person to visit will be rewarded.
In fact, before the list was posted, some officials with bright eyebrows boldly came to pay a visit to Mr. Yuan.
Bai Xiaowen was sitting on Gongsun Du's chair in the lobby of the Marquis Mansion. He spoke warmly and comforted all the officials who came to express their loyalty, which was like a spring breeze.
After meeting Bai Xiaowen, all the officials in Xiangping couldn't help but praise him. The second young master of the Yuan family is really a dragon and a phoenix among men, with extraordinary magnanimity!
Having a son like this, a great general, is even more exciting. Following such a lord has a much brighter future than following Gongsun Du.
In fact, this is the influence of Bai Xiaowen's high charm. You must know that he has always been equipped with Emperor Mianqi, and the charm added to him by Zhen Mi Liushang Quwu will last for 72 hours and has not disappeared yet.
Gongsun and his son are indeed not highly regarded by others. They neither have the personality charm of Cao Cao nor the noble family status of Yuan Shao. They are not the ideal lords in the eyes of knowledgeable people.
Even decades later, three generations of the Gongsun family worked hard in Liaodong, but they were not recognized by the Liaodong family. Famous people such as Guan Ning and Bing Yuan declined recruitment from the Gongsun family several times, which angered Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Yuan and other powerful people.
Furious, but helpless.
In just half a day, all the officials from Xiangping City, big and small, had gathered in front of the hall. Bai Xiaowen ordered people to do a count, and only Chief Shi Wang Lie was missing.
Bai Xiaowen ordered people to look for him, and the newly surrendered general Liu Yi volunteered to go. He was familiar with the roads and brought Wang Lie over soon.
Bai Xiaowen sat in the hall and asked: "I am the governor of Youzhou, and I have come to Xiangping City to eradicate evil and bring order to chaos. Now that Xiangping has been settled, why doesn't Wang Changshi come to see him? Is it because he is resentful?"
Wang Lie bowed and saluted and said: "Reply to the Governor: Gongsun and his son separated themselves from each other and did not respect the general's laws. Of course, it was a way to die. However, I was grieved by the kindness of Gongsun and his son, so I did not come to congratulate you early. Wang Lie
Lie knows that he is guilty, but I beg the governor to allow me to collect the bones of Gongsun and his son, so that I will die without regrets!"
After hearing this, Bai Xiaowen, tall and straight, said, "Young Master never forgets your old kindness, and you are a loyal and righteous man. What crime can you commit?" He then promised Wang Lie to collect the bones of Gongsun and his son, and went to the court in person to recruit Wang Lie.
Wang Lie felt grateful for the kindness of "Second Young Master Yuan", paid homage again, and agreed to recruit him.
Bai Xiaowen's move seemed not to give face to the many officials, big and small, who had surrendered, but in fact, it was a normal operation in the world of the Three Kingdoms, and it was also the "rules of the game" that he, as the superior, must abide by.
The Three Kingdoms pay attention to loyalty, and no matter what you do, you have to make enough appearances. For example, Cao Cao, for the prisoners who are slightly capable, always persuades them to surrender.
If the other party insists on not surrendering, Boss Cao will send him off with tears in his eyes, and then give him a grand burial.
If the other party stated that they would collect the Lord's body before surrendering, Boss Cao would definitely express his admiration and ask his generals to learn this spirit of loyalty.
The Qing court relied on many traitors to seize the Central Plains. When the rule was stabilized, it would compile a "Record of Two Officials" to nail these traitors to the pillar of shame forever, just to prevent the officials of the Qing Dynasty from ever becoming "the officials of the Qing Dynasty".
"Er Chen".
After Bai Xiaowen appeased the officials of Xiangping, big and small, he asked them to return to their posts and perform their respective duties, leaving only Wang Lie, the chief historian.
"Wang Changshi, how much money and food does the Xiangping treasury have?"
Wang Lie stood up and paid homage: "Your Majesty, the Governor: Now that the chaos has been brought back to order, the four counties in Liaodong are leaderless. It is the best time to calm the people's hearts, understand their opinions, and pacify Liaodong." The Governor immediately asked Xiangping about money and food. Could this be the case for the four counties in Liaodong?
Is this what the people of the county expect?"
mmp, educated.
Bai Xiaowen slandered.
I just asked about money and food!
My Cecilia is having a great time cooking rice in Peiping!
After you spoke so many words, you were able to answer me several times, okay?
But Wang Lie can say this, at least he is a knowledgeable talent.
Bai Xiaowen stood up and helped Wang Lie up. He followed the good advice and said, "I was negligent. Stabilizing Liaodong should really be the top priority. What should I do in public opinion?"
Wang Lie stroked his beard and said: "Young Master, as the son of a general, the fourth and third Duke of the Yuan family, has a great reputation. Talented people in the four counties of Liaodong have been looking up to them for a long time. Why don't you write a recruitment notice and spread it to everyone?"
The county recruits talented people and wins the support of famous people in Liaodong. In this way, there is no reason for the soldiers and civilians of the four counties not to surrender."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said: "The public's words are of great benefit."
Who are the celebrities in this era?
Basically, they are all scholars from famous families! Winning the support of these people is equivalent to winning the support of the famous families in Liaodong. And with the support of the famous families in Liaodong, the soldiers and civilians of the four counties will definitely join. This is inevitable.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen will also improve the plan proposed by Wang Lie and add some content. For example, the official positions of the officials in the four counties of Liaodong will not change, and everyone will still take advantage of the benefits as before.
All in all, Bai Xiaowen wanted to show an attitude: I came to Liaodong not to flip the table, but to get a share of the pie.
Where does this piece of cake come from?
Of course it was fished out of Gongsun's bowl.
The interests of other families and clans cannot be moved. The Gongsun family must eradicate the roots and prevent it from resurrecting and causing trouble again with resentment in their hearts.
Bai Xiaowen has no intention of carrying out drastic rectifications in Liaodong. Such a thankless task is not worth doing. After all, his stay in the Three Kingdoms plane is very short, and he will definitely not be able to wait for the benefits under the new order after the rectifications.
[Gongsun and his son, you may not believe it, but I came to Xiangping mainly to investigate the clues of the dragon-patterned gold box, and to get a small sum of money for my Cecilia...]
