After Yan Rou expressed her allegiance, Bai Xiaowen quickly received a reminder of the rules of the spirit world:
"You have gained the allegiance of the combat leader of the Three Kingdoms: Yan Rou."
"You can view Yan Rou's detailed information."
Bai Xiaowen used insight to scan Yan Rou before and found nothing special. The main reason was that insight could only see attributes and some skills.
Now that he had the opportunity to view detailed information for free, Bai Xiaowen clicked on it.
At this point, Bai Xiaowen was quite surprised.
Yan Rou actually has a "special skill"!
[Foreign Enemy: Passive, when Yan Rou fights against foreign (non-Han) enemies, he and the troops directly under him will receive additional bonuses. Yan Rou’s own attributes are +10; all attributes of the troops directly under him are +5, each
Morale +5 on a natural day.]
Bai Xiaowen couldn't help but secretly wonder, could this Yan Rou be also a famous figure in history? A hero who fought against Hu?
Bai Xiaowen inquired about the role of "morale".
The rules of the spirit world give the answer. When fighting a large army, the role of morale is very important. An army with low morale is likely to be defeated when the formation is broken up and the casualties are 10% or 20%, while an army with high morale is likely to be defeated.
, even if the casualties exceed half, they can still continue to fight, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.
Basically, the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms all have special skills that affect morale.
Although Yan Rou is not a famous general in history, she can be used as half a famous general when playing against foreign races.
From the attribute point of view, Yan Rou is just an ordinary general-type leader, but when fighting against aliens, all attributes are +10. With this layer of BUFF, he instantly reaches the level of a rare leader.
Bai Xiaowen was thoughtful, taking a look at his own state of "Liu Shang Yuyun", and then thought about Zhen Mi's special skill: Fengyi. He seemed to understand something.
[It seems that the help Zhen Mi has given me is not just as simple as a charm bonus.]
After acquiring the general Yan Rou, Bai Xiaowen had to ask about the situation of the foreign tribe in Youzhou, that is, the Wuhuan tribe.
Yan Rou said: "The general defeated Gongsun Zan, and Wu Huan also contributed, so the general adopted a gentle policy towards Wu Huan, giving him a large amount of grain, cloth and iron daily necessities every year, which he called the 'year gift'
, it has been two years now. In these two years, Wuhuan has not harassed Youzhou."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly: "Where is this year's gift?"
Yan Rou replied: "Already given."
Bai Xiaowen secretly thought that it was a pity that he had lost an opportunity to catch a wild goose. He could only pat Yan Rou on the shoulder: "I will leave the money and food in the treasury to you. I have other important things to do."
Yan Rou understood this and immediately divided the money and grain from the Xiangping treasury into two batches. One batch was worth 10,000 guan of grain, which was shipped in vehicles and sent by his deputies to escort it to the treasury of Beiping City; the other batch was worth more than 20,000 guan.
He personally led people to transport gold, silver, cloth, etc., and they must be delivered to General Bai Sanniang.
Bai Xiaowen was in Xiangping, and he soon met the talent recommended by Wang Lie: Bing Yuan.
It is worth mentioning that Gongsun Du once conquered Bingyuan as a long history, but Bingyuan excused himself and did not come to take office. Gongsundu hated him so much that he could do nothing.
Now, the second son of the Yuan family has not promised an official position, but only sent an envoy to invite him with gold and silk gifts, and Bing Yuan came over quickly.
The reputation of the Four Generations and Three Dukes is really no joke.
If Yuan Shu had not committed suicide and proclaimed himself emperor, thus ruining his reputation, the Yuan family's reputation would have been even greater.
Bai Xiaowen chatted with Bing Yuan for a few words and found that this man was similar to Wang Lie. They were both internal affairs leaders (non-combat types) who were well-read in poetry.
In Bingyuan, Wang Lie was not a very resourceful man, but when he was used to govern a county, he was able to stabilize the place, make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and complete the task of supplying the ruler with money and food. This is very good.
Judging from the cultural penetration rate in the Three Kingdoms era, it was already rare to have read a book. Well-educated people are worthy of special attention everywhere, and their knowledge is naturally higher than that of the majority of illiterate people.
Bingyuan recommended another person named Guan Ning. He praised Guan Ning in his words: "Ning's virtue is not as good as mine; what he has learned in his heart is ten times better than mine. If you ask for talents, you can attract others."
Invitation."
Bai Xiaowen followed the good example and sent an envoy to invite him again. However, this time the envoy was rejected and Guan Ning refused.
Bai Xiaowen sighed: "It is a pity that talented people are not used by me and are buried in the wilderness."
However, this was just a verbal talk to give Bing Yuan some face. Bai Xiaowen was not interested in playing the drama of visiting the thatched cottage three times.
Among the information collected by Bai Xiaowen, there is Guan Ning, a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty. Guan Ning was a true hermit, and he had serious moral obsessiveness. In Bai Xiaowen's view, this person was really not suitable for officialdom, and was only suitable for living in the mountains and wilderness.
, make a white lotus.
"Both of you are well-educated men. Have you ever seen this thing?"
Bai Xiaowen took out the dragon-patterned golden box and asked Wang Lie and Bing Yuan expectantly.
Both of them shook their heads to express ignorance.
Bai Xiaowen was a little disappointed, but he was also mentally prepared. Both of them were internal affairs leaders, their attributes were more spiritual, and their skills were mostly non-combat skills such as judging cases, educating the people, etc., which were completely different from the Dragon Pattern Golden Box.
, it’s normal if you can’t recognize it.
However, after Bing Yuan said that he had never seen it before, he still frowned and said: "This object is not ordinary. The patterns on it coincide with the Taoist talismans. Maybe a Taoist can open it."
Bai Xiaowen's heart moved: "Are there any Taoists in Xiangping City?" Judging from Bing Yuan's appearance, he had at least come into contact with Taoists.
Bing Yuan said: "Half a year ago, I met a layman named Guo Cai who was practicing at home. He claimed to have escaped from the war-torn areas of the Central Plains. I talked with him about Confucianism and Taoism, and we got along very well. We once met him at his home.
I have seen the Taoist classics. Sir, why don't you summon this layman Guo and ask him a few questions."
"Interesting, where does this layman Guo live now?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Bing Yuan said: "I live in Qitiao Lane in the west of the city."
Having said this, Bing Yuan frowned and asked, "Master, are you going to visit me?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "Forget it! They are just some rare and rare things, there is no need to waste time. The four counties of Liaodong are not yet completely stable. The most important thing is to calm the people and take over the defense."
Bing Yuan and Wang Lie both frowned and said in unison: "Young Master's words are correct."
However.
After Bai Xiaowen went to bed that night, he quietly got up, secretly left the Hou Mansion, and headed straight for the Qitiao Alley in the west of the city.
Bai Xiaowen felt that this Guo Cai should be the clue to deciphering the dragon pattern golden box.
Even if he can't crack it, at least he knows someone who can!
Everyone has his own social circle. For example, Wang Lie and Bing Yuan are both Confucian scholars. They are in the same circle and they know Guan Ning, who is also in the circle.
So as a lay monk, it is normal for Guo Cai to know people in the monastic circles in Xiangping City.
