Chapter 1268 Beheading every discipline, blaming Yuan Shang
Feng Ji protested and said: "If Da Sima wants to kill Feng Ji, isn't he afraid of being infamous as an intolerant person?"
Bai Xiaowen said: "If I don't kill you, I can't understand the law. I have a lot of tolerance for people, but I will never tolerate a treacherous villain like you!"
Immediately the order was given, and Feng Ji was pushed out and beheaded. After a while, his head was presented to him.
A military general like Zhang He, who has great ideas and strategies, has long realized that he has no talent or virtue and only relies on flattering Yuan Shao to gain the attention of his lord.
When he was executed at the wrong time, Zhang He and other generals naturally clapped their hands and cheered.
As for being unable to tolerate others, it is even more nonsense. Bai Xiaowen did not blame Jiang Yiqu, but also tolerated Lu Kuang and other four generals, which all showed his tolerance for others!
Gao Lan came out again and said: "My lord, Guo Tu deserves to be killed according to the law! When the Guandu army was defeated that day, General Zhang He and I were almost deceived by the traitor Guo Tu and did not dare to return to the camp. Please give an order, my lord, to capture Guo Tu and clarify the military law... Hmm? Junyi, do you have anything to say?"
While Gao Lan was talking, Zhang He pulled the back corner of Gao Lan's cloak without leaving any trace.
Seeing Gao Lan being so uncooperative, Zhang He was a little helpless, but he could only stand out and report:
"Now the Qingzhou Army led by Yuan Tan is marching towards Yedu. As an important counselor around Yuan Tan, Guo Tu has a lot of weight in whether it is war or peace. If my lord wants to fight, the general will be willing to be the vanguard; if my lord, If you want peace, no matter how you reward Guo Tu, the general will have nothing to say."
Gao Lan came to his senses and followed Zhang He's words and said: "Yes, war or peace will be decided by the lord. If there is a fight, I will be willing to accompany General Zhang He."
Dong Zhao praised: "The two generals have the overall situation in mind. They are truly the pillars of Hebei."
Bai Xiaowen smiled slightly.
When Li Shuyi was asked to take out Guo Tu's forged secret letter and make it public, Bai Xiaowen was actually mentally prepared.
Guo Tu, Zhang He and Gao Lan are incompatible with each other, so we can only choose one of them!
Of course, Bai Xiaowen chose to give up Guo Tu. This person was not much smarter than Feng Ji, and he was very selfish. Even if he had some talent, Bai Xiaowen was not willing to accept him.
What's more, Guo Tu's bad deeds have been exposed in front of the generals in Guandu. If he were to be retained any longer, wouldn't it be a chilling feeling for the generals?
"Two generals, please be patient. I have already made a plan on how to deal with Guo Tu."
Zhang He and Gao Lan were a little curious, but it was inconvenient to ask further, so they could only hold back.
After Bai Xiaowen conquered these 100,000 troops, Hebei has basically declared peace.
How can Yuan Tan stir up trouble with his 30,000 troops alone? In the worst case scenario, if the two sides fight, Yuan Tan will be able to do nothing but act like a chariot.
However, Bai Xiaowen still doesn't want the children of Hebei to be at war anymore. As he said, he has a better strategy!
…
After returning to Yedu, Bai Xiaowen first took Yuan Shang to the other courtyard where Mrs. Liu lived to collect his guilt.
This was a domestic scandal, so Bai Xiaowenping stepped back.
After listening to Bai Xiaowen enumerating Yuan Shang's various crimes one by one, regardless of the overall situation, forging a will, and even plotting to harm "Yuan Xi" at the banquet, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but burst into tears and pointed at Yuan Shang and cursed.
However, despite the scolding, Mrs. Liu still begged Yuan Xi to let Yuan Shang live.
Bai Xiaowen was well prepared and said: "Don't worry, mother, my son is not a mean and ungrateful person. Even if the third brother treats me like this, I will not kill him. After all, he is a biological brother. However, I cannot spare him lightly, otherwise the generals will Not convinced."
Mrs. Liu said with tears: "Since you have conquered the generals, how can you let them interfere in our household affairs! Don't punish the third child. If there is any crime, I, the mother-in-law, am willing to accept it for him!"
Seeing Mrs. Liu's tendency to act up, Bai Xiaowen's face darkened: "My Yuan family leads the four states of Hebei. Family affairs are state affairs, and it is the duty of the generals to speak to each other! As for my mother to take the blame for Yuan Shang, I would never dare.
Everyone is responsible for their faults. I have already killed him because of his instigation. Yuan Shang also needs to bear his own faults!"
Mrs. Liu was startled and looked at Bai Xiaowen strangely.
She suddenly realized that the son Yuan Xi in front of her was no longer the cowardly and obedient son he once was. He was already in great power, with three of the four states in his hands. He was the new Grand Sima who inherited the legacy of her husband Yuan Shao, and was the number one in the late Han Dynasty.
Princes!
The emperor is also in his hands, and Yuan Xi's power is somewhat stronger than that of Yuan Shao.
After Mrs. Liu realized this, she immediately gave up her wild thoughts and put away her tears: "Xianyi, what on earth are you going to do before you are willing to let your third brother go?"
Bai Xiaowen changed his face as quickly as flipping through a book, and said gently:
"The third brother made such a big mistake. It seems that his father and mother have been busy and lacked discipline. The son thought that the third brother is so naughty and underage, so he cannot be left outside, lest he be led astray by Feng Ji and others again.
You need to be by your son's side at all times to teach him how to behave and do things."
Yuan Shang was shocked, his second brother was trying to seize my military power! But after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have no military power anymore, so he shrunk his neck and did not dare to speak anymore.
Bai Xiaowen continued: "Don't worry, mother. When the third brother becomes successful, his son will not treat him badly."
Mrs. Liu said: "You will be fighting abroad from now on. You have no eyesight. What if you hurt your brother? Why not leave him in Yedu, and I will urge him to study hard and make progress every day."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "Don't worry, mother. My son will send trustworthy generals to protect the safety of my third brother. Unless I die, nothing will happen to my third brother." He would not let Yuan Shang stay in Yedu.
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "Now the third brother's matter has been successfully concluded, but there is still the eldest brother outside, who seems to have the same thoughts as the third brother. Now, the eldest brother leads 30,000 troops, starting from Qingzhou and passing by along the way.
Qinghe should have arrived in Julu County by now."
Mrs. Liu said: "Just go to the boss's military camp and bring him back."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that my eldest brother will not agree, so I want to ask for a letter from my mother, saying that my son has no intention of harming me. Please take the safety of Hebei into consideration, and don't act like a mantis with your own hands and bring about your own defeat. Come here early."
I went to Yedu to see the emperor and thanked him for his appointment."
Mrs. Liu also understands that Bai Xiaowen (Yuan Xi) now controls the three states, and has the generals from Guandu attached to him. His strength is more than ten times stronger than Yuan Tan. Let's put it bluntly, an army of 30,000, even 300,000, without generals will be in vain. It is inevitable.
Can't fight.
Mrs. Liu could only try to get some more benefits for her eldest son: "If you become the Great Sima, you also need to give your eldest brother a big official position. Otherwise, even if I write a letter home, your brother will not listen."
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "That's natural. Mother only writes letters. Regarding official matters, I will go and report to the emperor."
