After Yan Rou expressed his loyalty, Bai Xiaowen quickly received a notification from the Spiritual Realm's rules.
[You have obtained the loyalty of Yan Rou, the battle-type leader of the Three Kingdoms.
[You can view Yan Rou's detailed information.]
Bai Xiaowen had used Insight to scan Yan Rou before and did not find anything special. The main reason was that Insight could only see his attributes and some of his skills.
Now that he had the opportunity to view the detailed information for free, Bai Xiaowen casually clicked on it.
When he clicked on it, Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised.
Yan Rou actually had a "special skill"!
[Enemy of the Other Tribes: Passive. When Yan Rou fights against enemies of the Other Tribes (non-Han Chinese), he and his direct subordinates will receive additional bonuses. All attributes of Yan Rou himself + 10; all attributes of his direct subordinates + 5; Morale + 5 every natural day.]
Bai Xiaowen could not help but wonder if this Yan Rou was also a famous figure in history. The Anti-Hu Hero?
Bai Xiaowen inquired about the effect of "Morale".
The Spiritual Realm's rules gave him the answer. When large armies were fighting, morale was very important. An army with low morale might collapse when their formation was broken and they suffered 10 to 20% casualties. On the other hand, an army with high morale might still be able to fight even if more than half of their troops were killed or injured. One could imagine their combat strength.
Basically, famous generals of the Three Kingdoms had special skills that affected morale.
Although Yan Rou was not a famous historical general, he could be used as half a famous general when fighting against the Other Tribes.
In terms of attributes, Yan Rou was just an ordinary general-type leader. However, when fighting against the Other Tribes, all attributes + 10. With this buff, he instantly reached the level of a Rare leader.
Bai Xiaowen was deep in thought. He glanced at his status, "Lingering Charm", and then thought about Zhen Mi's special skill, "Feng Yi". He seemed to have understood something.
[It seems that Zhen Mi's help is not as simple as a charm buff.]
After getting Yan Rou as his general, Bai Xiaowen had to ask about the situation of the Wuhuan Tribe in Youzhou.
Yan Rou said, "Wu Huan also played a part in the suppression of Gongsun Zan. Therefore, Wu Huan is treated with kindness. Every year, Wu Huan will be given a large amount of food, cloth, and iron daily necessities. It is called 'Year Bestowal'. Wu Huan hasn't harassed Youzhou Province in the past two years. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly. "What about this year's New Year's Gift?"
Yan Rou replied, "I have."
Bai Xiaowen thought to himself that it was a pity that he had lost such a great opportunity. He patted Yan Rou's shoulder and said, "I'll leave the treasury to you. I still have things to do."
Yan Rou understood tacitly and immediately divided the money and provisions in Xiang Ping's treasury into two batches. One batch was worth ten thousand strings of coins, which was to be transported in carriages and sent to Beiping's treasury by his deputy. The other batch was worth more than twenty thousand strings of coins, gold, silver, cloth, silk, and so on. He would personally take people to deliver them to General Bai Sanniang.
Bai Xiaowen was in charge of Xiangping. He soon met the talent recommended by Wang Lie: Feng Yuan.
It was worth mentioning that Gongsun Du once asked Feng Yuan to be the Chief Inspector, but Feng Yuan refused to take the position. Gongsun Du hated him so much that he couldn't do anything.
Now, the second son of the Yuan Family had not promised him an official position. He just sent a messenger with gifts of gold and silk to invite Feng Yuan, and Feng Yuan quickly came over.
The reputation of the Three Dukes of the Fourth Generation was not a joke.
If Yuan Shu didn't court disaster by claiming to be the emperor and ruining his reputation, the reputation of the Yuan Family would be even greater.
Bai Xiaowen and Feng Yuan talked for a while and found that this person was similar to Wang Lie. They were both leaders who were knowledgeable about internal affairs (non-combat).
Feng Yuan and Wang Lie were not wise and resourceful people, but when they were used to govern a county, they could stabilize the place and make the people live and work in peace. They could also complete the task of providing the ruler with money and food. This was very good.
In the era of the Three Kingdoms, it was rare to have read books. People who were knowledgeable were worthy of special treatment. Their knowledge was naturally higher than the majority of illiterates.
Bu Yuan recommended another person, his name was Guan Ning. His words were full of praise for Guan Ning, "Guan Ning's virtue, I am inferior to him; the knowledge in his heart is ten times greater than mine. If Young Master wants a virtuous person, you can send someone to invite him. "
Bai Xiaowen readily accepted the good advice and sent a messenger to invite Guan Ning again. However, this time, the messenger was refused the door. Guan Ning refused.
Bai Xiaowen sighed, "It is a pity that a virtuous person is not used by me and buried in the wilderness."
However, this was just a verbal request to give face to Feng Yuan. Bai Xiaowen was not interested in the drama of three visits to the thatched cottage.
In the information collected by Bai Xiaowen, there was a famous scholar named Guan Ning in the late Han Dynasty. Guan Ning was a real hermit and had a serious moral cleanliness disorder. In Bai Xiaowen's view, this person was not suitable to be an official. He was only suitable to be a white lotus in the wilderness.
"Both of you are knowledgeable people. Have you seen this thing before?"
Bai Xiaowen took out the dragon-patterned gold box and asked Wang Lie and Feng Yuan expectantly.
Both of them shook their heads to show that they did not know.
Bai Xiaowen was a little disappointed, but he was mentally prepared. Both of them were leaders who focused on internal affairs. Their attributes leaned towards the spirit, and their skills were mostly non-combat skills such as analyzing cases and educating the people. They were completely different from the dragon-patterned gold box, so it was normal that they did not recognize it.
However, after Feng Yuan expressed that he had not seen it, he still frowned and said, "This is not an ordinary item. The patterns on it are similar to Taoist talismans. Perhaps a cultivator can open it."
Bai Xiaowen was moved, "Are there any cultivators in Xiangping City?" Looking at Feng Yuan, he had at least come into contact with cultivators.
Feng Yuan said, "Half a year ago, I met a cultivator who was cultivating at home. His name was Guo Cai, and he said that he escaped from the Central Plains. We talked about Confucianism and Taoism, and we got along well. I have seen Taoist classics in his home. Why don't Young Master summon this Cultivator Guo and ask him a few questions? "
"Interesting. Where does this Cultivator Guo live now?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Feng Yuan said, "He lives in the seven alleys in the west of the city."
Feng Yuan frowned and asked, "Young Master, are you going to visit him?"
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Forget it! It's just some rare items, so there's no need to waste time. Right now, the four counties of Liaodong are not yet completely stabilized. The most important thing is to pacify the people and take over the defense. "
Feng Yuan and Wang Lie's brows relaxed, and they said in unison, "Young Master, you are right."
However.
That night, after Bai Xiaowen went to bed, he quietly got up and sneaked out of the Marquis' mansion. He went straight to the seven alleys in the west of the city.
Bai Xiaowen felt that this Guo Cai should be the clue to solving the dragon-patterned gold box.
Even if he could not solve it, at least he knew someone who could!
Everyone had their own social circle. For example, Wang Lie and Feng Yuan were both Confucian scholars. They were in the same circle, and they knew Guan Ning who was also in the same circle.
Therefore, as a cultivator, it was normal for Guo Cai to know people in Xiangping City's cultivation circle.
