Chapter 1262

After entering Wei County, first pass Shexian County, and the officials in the city meet with Fu Dao.

Bai Xiaowen asked Shexian county magistrate, how is the situation in Jizhou?

The county magistrate replied, "after the death of the great Sima Hong, the third childe yuan Shang and the military division came to Liyang every year. It was said that the third childe was the heir of the great Sima. The officials in all cities of Jizhou got the last life, but most of them hesitated and didn't know whether it was true or not."

Bai Xiaowen showed a slight sneer on his face and said, "my third brother really thinks he is popular? It's ridiculous to falsely pass on his last life and try to steal his father's throne."

The present situation is different from that in the romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Originally, Yuan Shang relied on a good leather bag and the strength of second-rate generals. He could inherit Yuan Shao's foundation under the name of "establishing a virtuous person".

But now, Yuan Xi is out in the air, and Li Xian can't turn to Yuan Shang at all.

Officials in various cities of Jizhou hesitated and dared not take orders, mainly because they doubted the authenticity of this death order.

Dong Zhao, beside him, scolded the county magistrate of Shexian County: "the second childe has been ordered by the emperor to be Da Sima and Jizhou mu, inheriting the great cause! Since you are the county magistrate of this city, I'd like to see you soon."

The county magistrate quickly bowed down again.

Bai Xiaowen said gently, "no gift. My third brother, do you have any other actions?"

The county magistrate said, "I don't know how, the third childe persuaded general Jiang Yiqu, the general of Li Yang, and gathered many defeated soldiers in the battle of Guandu. It is known that there are 100000 people, heading for Yecheng."

Dong Zhao on one side immediately said, "Lord, Yuan Shang's reputation is not enough. He uses force to make up for it. Everywhere he goes, Jizhou city officials are afraid of military power and can only obey his orders. I don't know who is in charge of Yecheng at this time?"

Shexian magistrate said, "don't drive and match in governance."

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "I know this man. He and Fengji have always assisted the third brother yuan Shang; my late father also has two counselors, one Xin Ping and one Guo Tu, to assist my brother Yuan Tan."

Dong Zhao said, "it seems that Yecheng is almost undefended for yuan Shang. The Lord should make a decision as soon as possible!"

Bai Xiaowen said, "I have my own opinion."

During the conversation, suddenly a line of ten cavalry, all dressed in excellent iron armor, came galloping with horses.

Bai Xiaowen recognized the winged cavalry he sent out and said with a smile, "there is a messenger in Yecheng."

The sound of horses' hoofs suddenly stopped, and ten winged cavalry dismounted and bowed down and presented a secret letter.

Bai Xiaowen opened it directly and said with a smile after reading the letter:

"When I first arrived in Bingzhou, I sent qiaorui, Hanyang and Bai Sanniang to Yecheng to report to my father and make room for the emperor.

"Although qiaorui is a female general, she makes a decision at the moment, but she has the style of a great general. After receiving the bad news of her father's death, she immediately led the winged cavalry to Jizhou prison and rescued don't drive Tian Feng. Tian Feng shouted, and all the soldiers and people of Yecheng fell in love with her. Even if she wanted to transfer troops, no one responded. At present, she is under house arrest. Yecheng is already in my hands."

Tian Feng's reputation is much higher than the match.

The generals beside him were both surprised and delighted.

Some people praised general Qiao's decision, and others congratulated "Yuan Xi" on his great fortune.

But only Xun Yu, squinting at Bai Xiaowen for a while, was thoughtful.

Bai Xiaowen's heart could not hide from Xun Yu. All these plans included entering Yecheng in the name of the emperor's presence; after the information about Yuan Shao's death came, he immediately released Tian Feng and house arrest for trial... All of which were arranged by him in advance.

But it's no surprise. When the Sizhou army tried to intercept, a wise man could guess the Guandu war, which was unfavorable to Yuan Jun.

Yuan Jun was defeated. Can Yuan Shao survive? It's hard to say.

Therefore, from the perspective of Xun Yu, Bai Xiaowen sent winged cavalry into Yecheng and arranged in advance, just in case.

If Yuan Shao is still there, the task of the winged cavalry is really to make room for the emperor.

If Yuan Shao died, the task of the winged cavalry would naturally change.

In any case, it is difficult for Xun Yu to guess that Bai Xiaowen had already foreseen the end of Yuan Shao's death, because he did not know the existence of the awakened and the existence of the divine court. This is the limitation of vision caused by information asymmetry, not Xun Yu's lack of wisdom.

But... In Xun Yu's eyes, it even seems that "childe Yuan Xi" is intelligent and profound, and can almost understand ghosts and gods. Is he really only in his twenties?

Not to mention Xun Yu's shock, there is another news in Qiao Rui's letter, that is, her eldest son Yuan Tan.

After the defeat of Guandu, Guo Tu originally wanted to meet Yuan Shao. Who expected Yuan Shao to lose? After thinking about it, he decided to go east to Qingzhou and continue to assist Yuan Tan.

With the support of Xin Ping and Guo Tu, Yuan Tan named himself as a general and raised 30000 soldiers from Qingzhou to enter Qinghe County (or Qinghe country) in the east of Jizhou.

Yuan Tan is also a fast marching army. He doesn't stop in Qinghe County, but goes all the way west. According to Qiao Rui's calculation, Yuan Tan's Qingzhou army will enter Julu County tomorrow at most. The next goal is naturally Yecheng of Wei county.

"The three sons are separated..." recalling the romance, Bai Xiaowen felt a sigh of emotion. In fact, after the defeat of Guandu, the foundation of Hebei has not been damaged. After all, Jizhou is too rich and has a full population.

In addition, about 100000 yuan troops were killed and injured in Guandu, and the rest fled with the generals.

According to the romance, the news that Yuan Shao was still alive came out, and the defeated troops "gathered again". With the reinforcements from Youzhou, Qingzhou and Bingzhou, they still got $200000 to $300000. In terms of military strength, it is enough to compete with Cao Cao.

Moreover, Cao Cao needs to go back to stabilize the situation and cannot pursue the victory to expand the results.

Of course, in Cao Cao's view, Yuan Shao is dead, and the three sons are bound to compete for family property. The so-called "if you attack it with troops, you will fight the enemy with equal strength, and you can't go down in a hurry; if you slow it down, you will have a phase diagram" (note).

When the Yuan's sons fought and their strength was depleted, Cao Cao just stabilized Henan and crossed the Yellow River north to attack. It was bound to save labor. This was the plan of watching fire from the shore.

Bai Xiaowen knows that it's not the time to skimp on props. He once again used Meng De's new book - the strategy of speed, so that the whole army accelerated. He hurried to Yecheng and rushed to the west of the sun.

Qiaorui unifies the soldiers to guard Yecheng. After inspection, he opens the gate.

Tian Feng led Yecheng civil and military officials to kneel down beside the road. In fact, this kneeling is not just for Bai Xiaowen, but to welcome the emperor luanjia.

The emperor Liu Xie met in the car and was also very useful.

The messenger of the son of heaven read out the imperial edict and granted Yuan Xi as Da Sima and Jizhou shepherd, inheriting his father's position.

All civil and military officials in Jizhou were given rewards. The adverse impact of Yuan Shaoxin's death on people's hearts was immediately reduced by more than half, and it was a joy to be promoted.

After the imperial edict was announced, Bai Xiaowen met Tian Feng and said with great emotion: "without Mr. Xu's great help, how can I take Xudu lightly and welcome back to the son of heaven? If we don't break Xudu, Cao Cao's rear area is stable, which is bound to win and invade Jizhou. It's difficult for me to save my life."

Tian Feng didn't take credit for it. He said, "this is the childe's strategy. I'm old, but I'm just doing my best."

Bai Xiaowen immediately invited the emperor to tell the story of Tian Feng's family in prison that day, helped him secretly raise troops to raid Xudu, and asked the emperor to reward Tian Feng's food city.

Tian Feng resolutely refused: "at this time, Jizhou has not been calmed down. The Lord is not in a hurry to reward the old, so as not to envy the foreign ministers."

Bai Xiaowen said, "Sir, your conduct is noble, but those who have meritorious deeds must be rewarded. It should be the law." so he ordered Qiao Rui to check the government treasury and give Julu Tian's Jin Bailong (24002). When Hebei is stable, we will discuss the issue of granting Marquis Jin Jue.
