Cao Cao's four sons all had different expressions on their faces. Most of them were stunned.
Xun Yu said, "Second Young Master, why do you need me to tell you the whole story?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Your father's family is based in Yingchuan. If you don't tell me, the Xuns will be killed by Cao Cao. Your father's reputation will also be damaged. "
The Xuns of Yingchuan were a big family. They were not in Xudu, so they couldn't go north with the army. They had to stay.
Xun Yu had mixed feelings. He cupped his hands and said, "Second Young Master, how can I make you worry so much?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and looked at Cao Cao's four sons. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You four better get a doctor to treat you."
Cao Zhang stared and said, "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Bai Xiaowen laughed and shook his head. "You were poisoned and you don't know? If you don't find a doctor, you will die sooner or later even if I let you go. When the time comes, you might push the blame on me. "
Under Bai Xiaowen's Insight, he could see that Cao Pi and the other three were all poisoned. The poison would take three days to five days.
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did the expressions of Cao Pi and the others turn grim, even Xun Yu revealed a surprised and bewildered expression.
They didn't suspect Bai Xiaowen of poisoning them. If it was Bai Xiaowen, there was no need to say it.
"Who wants to harm my brothers?" Cao Zhang asked.
Xun Yu wanted to say something but stopped. Bai Xiaowen laughed and said, "You should ask your father! He must know the answer. "
…
Bai Xiaowen let Cecilia and Han Xu lead the winged cavalry as the vanguard. He personally led the army and escorted the emperor's carriage to the north.
Qiao Rui was beside Bai Xiaowen.
"I understand your intention, but there are still many things I don't understand," Qiao Rui said.
Bai Xiaowen blinked and said, "Tell me what you know first."
"Cao Pi and the other three were poisoned by Cao Xiong from the Divine Court Training Camp, right?" Qiao Rui said, "You let Cao Pi and the others go because you want to prevent Cao Xiong from becoming the successor of the Cao's Group. At the same time, you can also get Xun Yu and the other three talents to submit to you."
Bai Xiaowen nodded.
"But why did you bring the emperor and the officials back to Ye City? Are you so sure that the situation will go according to your plan, that Yuan Shao will be defeated by Cao Cao? After all, we have already launched a surprise attack on Xu Du, causing Cao Cao to panic. The direction of the battle of Guandu might not follow the path of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms! "
After a pause, Qiao Rui continued, "Even if Yuan Shao loses, he will return to Ye City and try to regroup. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Shao died of an illness after being defeated in a battle. But with the physique of the people in the Spiritual Realm, he shouldn't have died of illness, right? You didn't inform Yuan Shao in advance and brought the imperial court to Ye City. How are you going to deal with them then? "
These two points puzzled Qiao Rui the most.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "The reason why I did this is that I am sure of two things.
"First, Cao Cao will definitely not withdraw immediately, which is equivalent to a slow death. He must adopt Xu You's plan to defeat Yuan Shao and then return to Ye City!
"Second, Yuan Shao will definitely be defeated and die in the battle of Guandu."
Qiao Rui was not surprised by the first point. After all, when the Youzhou army set off, they received the information about Guandu sent by the Li Shuyi. They knew that Xu You had proposed a plan and was reprimanded. The subsequent developments were naturally traceable.
But Qiao Rui still did not believe the second point.
Bai Xiaowen looked at Qiao Rui's puzzled eyes and said with a smile, "Sister Qiao, you only need to think about their plan from the perspective of the Divine Court, and you will understand. Think about it, why did the Divine Court give up defending Xu Du? "
Qiao Rui quickly said, "In order to sell their teammates, they sold Cao Cao's four sons so that Cao Xiong could be the only heir."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said,
"That's right. Cao Xiong thought that his competitors were all going to die, so he would try his best to preserve the strength of the Cao's Group! Defeating Yuan Shao is the overall situation for the Divine Court, so the focus of the awakeners of the Divine Court must be on the battle of Guandu.
"At the same time, they strategically gave up Xu Du and poisoned Cao Pi and others. Under normal circumstances, whether we defend Xu Du or lead the army north to Ye City, we will have Cao Cao's four sons in our hands. During this period, they will die from the poison, and we will undoubtedly be blamed for it.
"Cao Xiong will definitely work hard to make contributions to the war of unification and to smoothly take over the power of the Cao's Group. He defeated Liu Biao in Xu Du, which was just the first battle, and Guandu was his big stage. Therefore, Cao Xiong would never let go of Yuan Shao, this big head, no matter what.
"As long as we can kill Yuan Shao, Cao Xiong's reputation in the Cao's Group will soar to the level of reverence or even worship. As long as we find a chance to kill Cao Cao, he will be the well-deserved leader of the camp! "
Speaking of this, Bai Xiaowen's eyes were gloomy as he said slowly,
"Moreover, in order to ensure Yuan Shao's death, I also made a backup plan. Of course, with the strength of the Divine Court, this backup plan will not be used, and I don't want to go to this step. "
This backup plan was Li Shuyi.
When the Youzhou army was about to embark on the way back, Bai Xiaowen could almost foresee that the emperor's imperial carriage would be crazily chased and intercepted by the defenders of the Cao's Group.
Along the way, there would definitely be a lot of battles. At this juncture, he sent Li Shuyi, a powerful force, to Guandu to deliver an edict …
What was his intention? It was self-evident!
However, if Li Shuyi intercepted and killed Yuan Shao, the consequences would be very serious. Yuan Shao must be accompanied by defeated soldiers. No matter how strong Li Shuyi was, he could only assassinate at most if he was alone. He could not kill all the defeated soldiers.
Once he took action, Li Shuyi's "identity" would be useless, and it might also affect Yuan Xi's identity. After all, Li Shuyi was Yuan Xi's subordinate, which would add a trace of unfavorable influence to Bai Xiaowen's follow-up plan.
Qiao Rui exhaled deeply.
In Bai Xiaowen's meticulous analysis, there was almost no way to hide the plan of the awakened from the Divine Court.
And Bai Xiaowen's response could be said to be perfect. Closely following the plan of the Divine Court's awakened, he formulated the response plan that would benefit him the most.
At the same time, Bai Xiaowen did not forget to feed the Divine Court's awakened a mouthful of shit, let Cao Pi and the other three go back, and reminded them that they were poisoned.
It was no longer important whether Cao Pi and the other three would die from the poison.
The important thing was that Bai Xiaowen's attitude of letting the four go had already proved his "innocence". Cao Cao was definitely not a fool. His four sons had died mysteriously. He would never suspect Yuan Xi, but Cao Xiong!
Of course, it was best that Cao Pi and the other three were alive. This depended on what kind of doctor they could find. According to the common sense that people in the spiritual world had more powerful secondary professions than awakened ones, the famous doctors in the Three Kingdoms should be able to cure Cao Pi and the others.
Back to Bai Xiaowen's side.
After completing the task of surprise attacking Xu Du, Bai Xiaowen's reputation in Yuan Shao's camp had risen to reverence. It was so high that he could submit the second main task at any time, but he did not do so.
It could be said that among Yuan Shao's three sons, the second son, Yuan Xi, was already outstanding. His image among the civil and military officials of Yuan Shao's camp was far better than that of the other two sons.
This image was accumulated from the suppression of Liaodong, the killing of Zhang Jiao, the surprise attack on Xu Du, and so on. In addition, there was also the upcoming battle of returning from Xu Du!
As long as the plan succeeded, Bai Xiaowen was almost certain to be the master of the Yuan family's forces.
Qiao Rui understood very quickly. She sighed softly, "I understand. Now our main task is to escort the emperor and the officials back to Ye City successfully. "
