Chapter 1259 Shocking rumors, fighting for the throne!
After Gao Gan said what he just said, he regretted his mistake, but Bai Xiaowen's promise gave him hope again.
He couldn't help but think to himself: With his second cousin's character and talent, it is not only natural to inherit his uncle's great cause, but also the best way to carry it forward. In this way, betting on his second cousin in advance should not be a wrong choice.
.
Thinking of this, Gao Gan simply made his position clear: "Don't worry, Xianyi, if my uncle really asks me, I will tell the truth and support making you his heir."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and nodded.
The granting of honorable positions to high officials was also based on the trend of the Three Kingdoms era, which was an era of nepotism. In addition, the people's wisdom has not yet been popularized. In most cases, children of well-educated aristocratic families are better than children of poor families.
In addition, people in the Three Kingdoms era paid more attention to their commitments to their relatives and colleagues. Once high-ranking officials have made their stance clear, they generally will not change their stance until special circumstances occur.
After this conversation, Gao Gan suddenly felt that his relationship with his second cousin had become closer, and there was a vague sense of alliance.
Later, they talked about Confucianism and Taoism, and while they were getting popular, suddenly a follower reported that a messenger had arrived from Jizhou.
The senior officer asked to come in.
The person who came in was none other than Li Shuyi, who came back from the Guandu battlefield!
Li Shuyi (Team Channel): "Xiaowen, let me tell you good news and bad news. Yuan Shao is dead! But Yuan Shang should still be alive. The Awakener of the Divine Court found me and said he would put Yuan Shang back. Do you think it is possible?
"
Bai Xiaowen (Team Channel): "Haha, they can really do this kind of thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself. However, I have already made plans. Even if Yuan Shang is alive, he won't be able to make any waves. Shuyi, please calm down.
The person sitting next to you is my cheap cousin, you need to think carefully before telling this news."
Li Shuyi lowered her head and wiped the dust from her face.
At this time, the senior official had already asked: "Are you the envoy from Jizhou? You are the general... Oh no, did you come from Da Sima? 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 brave and will not be outdone by women. When she conquered Xudu that day, she was the first
One climbed to the top of the city."
There are very few female generals in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but in the spirit world, there is no gender discrimination, and powerful female generals abound, so senior officials are not surprised by Li Shuyi's gender, but rather have a sense of admiration:
"It turns out to be General Lee."
Bai Xiaowen then said: "After I defeated Xudu, I sent her to Guandu to pass the imperial edict. General Li, you must have rushed back from the Guandu battlefield, right? Do you have any information? Has my father already occupied Henan?"
Li Shuyi had already prepared her emotions at this time, and she knelt down again with a bang: "Sir, lord, lord, he was defeated in Guandu and died at the hands of Cao Cao!"
This news was almost like a bolt from the blue.
Of course, the only one who was frightened was the senior officer. He could hardly believe his ears: "What did you say?"
Bai Xiaowen also stood up in a hurry: "Impossible! Li Shu, do you know how important this news is? There must be no lies!"
Li Shuyi silently complained in her heart, with a sad look on her gray face: "Master, this matter is so important that even if I lend ten courages to the last general, I would not dare to lie. Cao Jun is cunning and burned the Wuchao grain and grass, which hurt the morale of our army."
Then he used deception to deceive our army into dividing our troops. During the final decisive battle, our army collapsed at the first touch, and hundreds of thousands of troops were separated..."
Li Shuyi briefly told the story of the Battle of Guandu, and by this time the senior officials believed him.
Just because I believed it did not mean that I could accept and digest the news. Senior officials were still dumbfounded.
Bai Xiaowen suddenly knocked over the table: "Thief Cao! I swear to kill you!"
Then he closed his eyes, kicked his legs, and fell straight down like a log.
Gao Gan exclaimed: "Xianyi!" He hurriedly reached out to help him, but finally he didn't let the back of Bai Xiaowen's head hit the ground.
Then there was a sudden burst of pinching, and Bai Xiaowen suddenly woke up.
The senior cadre was originally in a state of confusion, but when he saw Bai Xiaowen fainted in front of him, he calmed down and hurriedly advised: "Xianyi, I am sorry. The situation in Henan and Hebei is in chaos now, and you are needed to take charge of the overall situation. If you
If you fall down again, there will really be no hope!"
Bai Xiaowen said in his heart, this is what I am waiting for.
"Cousin, please prepare mourning clothes for me."
After Bai Xiaowen said his first sentence, the senior official quickly ordered others to do it.
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath and said: "The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. If I don't take revenge, how can I be a son of man? However, our army has suffered a new defeat. If we want to take revenge on Cao Cao, we must first stabilize Jizhou and Xu Tu advances slowly. Okay.
Now, many of Cao's thieves have been defeated, and all the heroes in the world have been ordered to punish the thieves. He is busy stabilizing the situation in the Henan provinces and has no energy to advance north. We still have time to reorganize the army."
Gao Gan deeply agreed, nodded and said: "That's what Xian Yi said."
Bai Xiaowen added: "The inheritance left by my father cannot be left without an owner."
The senior official nodded again and said: "Yes, we must first have a backbone so that we brothers can accomplish great things together. Xianyi, this important task must be yours, and you must not refuse it!"
Bai Xiaowen nodded, held the senior official's hand and said, "Confucius once said that you should be kind and not give in to my master. Now in this critical moment, I will definitely not give in. I hope you can help me."
Gao Gan said: "Don't worry if you show your strength. Brother Fool will definitely mobilize all the people in the state to help you."
Bai Xiaowen felt a long-lost excitement. Now that Yuan Shao is dead, the biggest obstacle that prevented him from becoming the master of power has been removed!
Next, it would be great to inherit the great cause, digest as much as possible the "legacy" left by Yuan Shao, compete with the heroes, and rule the world!
Bai Xiaowen immediately summoned the civil and military officials of the tent to discuss matters.
Now his team has begun to take shape, including Xun Yu, Lou Gui, Dong Zhao, and Sima Yi in literature; Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan in military affairs. In addition, a group of talents from Youzhou and Liaodong must be included. For a separatist warlord
It's more than enough, but if you want to conquer the world, it's still not enough.
The civil servants and generals under Yuan Shao must be gathered for their own use as soon as possible in order to be qualified to compete for the world.
Xun Yu and others looked shocked when they saw Bai Xiaowen, who was all dressed in plain clothes and had a white scarf on his head.
When Bai Xiaowen told the story about the Guandu Incident, everyone had different expressions.
Dong Zhao seemed to be remorseful, but he concealed it very well. It wouldn't be obvious if it wasn't for Bai Xiaowen's observation skills. Xun Yu's face remained calm, similar to Lou Gui's. But Sima Yi's eyes moved slightly, not knowing.
What are you thinking about?
Everyone first advised Bai Xiaowen to refrain from mourning, and Bai Xiaowen also swore revenge, needless to say.
After explaining the scene, Bai Xiaowen turned to the topic: "Now that my father has passed away, the four states of Hebei are in danger. You are the first people to know the news. Is there any good advice you can teach me?"
