After Gao Gan said those words, he regretted his slip of the tongue. However, Bai Xiaowen's promise gave him hope again.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "With Second Cousin's character and talent, it's not only reasonable for him to inherit Uncle's great cause, but he'll also be the best one to carry it forward. In this way, it shouldn't be a wrong choice to bet on Second Cousin in advance. "
Thinking of this, Gao Gan simply stated, "Xianyi, don't worry. If Uncle really asks me, I'll definitely tell him the truth and support making you his heir."
Bai Xiaowen nodded with a smile.
Giving the position to Gao Gan was also due to the trend of the Three Kingdoms era. This was the era of nepotism. In addition, the knowledge of the people was not widespread. The well-educated children of aristocratic families were more outstanding than the children of humble families in most cases.
In addition, the people of the Three Kingdoms era paid more attention to promises to their relatives and colleagues. Since Gao Gan had made a clear statement, he generally wouldn't change his mind unless something special happened.
After this conversation, Gao Gan suddenly felt that his relationship with his second cousin brother had become closer, and there was a faint feeling of an alliance.
After that, they talked about Confucianism and Taoism. Just as they were getting excited, a servant suddenly reported that a messenger from Ji Zhou had arrived.
Gao Gan asked him to come in.
The person who came in was none other than Li Shuyi, who had rushed back from the battlefield of Guandu!
Li Shuyi (team channel): "Xiaowen, I have good news and bad news for you. Yuan Shao is dead! However, Yuan Shang should still be alive. The awakened of the Divine Court found me and said that they would release Yuan Shang. Do you think it's possible? "
Bai Xiaowen (team channel): "Haha, they really can do such a thing that harms others without benefiting themselves. However, I've already made up my mind. Even if Yuan Shang is alive, he won't be able to cause any trouble. Shuyi, you should gather your emotions. The person sitting next to you is my cheap cousin. You should think about it before telling him the news. "
Li Shuyi lowered his head and wiped the dust off his face.
At this time, Gao Gan had already asked, "Are you the messenger from Ji Zhou? Did the General … Oh, no, the Great Sima send you? Do you have a letter? "
Bai Xiaowen set up a bridge for Li Shuyi. "Brother, this is my subordinate. Her name is Li Shu. Although she was a woman, she was quite brave and resourceful. She was not inferior to men. That day when Xu Du was breached, she was the first to ascend the city wall. "
There were very few female generals in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, in the Spiritual Realm, there was no gender discrimination. Powerful female generals were everywhere. Therefore, Gao Gan was not surprised by Li Shuyi's gender. Instead, he admired him.
"So it's General Li."
Bai Xiaowen then said, "After I took Xu Du, I sent her to Guandu to pass on the imperial edict. General Li, you must have rushed back from Guandu, right? What information do you have? Has father already occupied Henan? "
Li Shuyi had already gathered his emotions. He knelt down again and said, "Young master, my lord, my lord was defeated in Guandu and died in the hands of Traitor Cao!"
This news was like a bolt from the blue.
Of course, only Gao Gan was shocked. He could hardly believe his ears, "What did you say?"
Bai Xiaowen also stood up abruptly, "Impossible! Li Shuyi, do you know how important this news is? You can't lie! "
Li Shuyi cursed silently in his heart. With a sad expression on his dark face, he said, "Young master, this is a matter of great importance. Even if I had ten times the courage, I would not dare to lie. Cao Cao's army was cunning. They burned Wu Chao's provisions, causing our army's morale to waver. Then, they used tricks to trick our army into splitting up. In the final battle, our army was defeated and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were separated … "
Li Shuyi briefly explained the Battle of Guandu. At this time, Gao Gan had already believed him.
Believing it did not mean that he could accept and digest this news. Gao Gan was still dumbfounded.
Bai Xiaowen suddenly slammed the table, "Traitor Cao! I swear to kill you! "
Then, he closed his eyes, kicked his legs, and fell straight down like a piece of wood.
Gao Gan exclaimed, "Xianyi!" He hurriedly reached out to support Bai Xiaowen. Finally, he did not let the back of his head hit the ground.
Then, after a flurry of pinches, Bai Xiaowen 'slowly regained consciousness'.
Gao Gan's heart was in a mess, but when he saw Bai Xiaowen faint in front of him, he calmed down and hurriedly advised, "Xianyi, my condolences. Right now, the situation in Henan and Hebei is chaotic. We need you to preside over the situation. If you fall down again, there will be no more hope! "
Bai Xiaowen said in his heart, I was waiting for you to say this.
"Cousin, please prepare mourning clothes for me."
After Bai Xiaowen finished speaking, Gao Gan hurriedly ordered someone to do it.
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath and said, "The hatred of my father's murder is irreconcilable. If I don't take revenge, how can I be a son? However, our army has just been defeated. If we want to take revenge on traitor Cao, we must first stabilize Ji Province and slowly advance. Fortunately, traitor Cao has been defeated. The heroes of the world are all under orders to punish the traitor. He is busy stabilizing the situation in Henan and has no energy to advance north. We still have time to reorganize the army. "
Gao Gan deeply agreed and nodded, "Xianyi's words are true."
Bai Xiaowen said again, "The foundation left by my father cannot be without a leader."
Gao Gan nodded again, "That's right. We must first have a backbone. Only then can we brothers work together on important matters. Xianyi, this heavy burden belongs to none other than you. You must not decline! "
Bai Xiaowen nodded and held Gao Gan's hand, "Confucius once said, to be benevolent, do not yield to your master. Now is a critical time. Brother will definitely not yield modestly. I hope Brother will help me. "
Gao Gan said, "Xianyi, don't worry. Brother will definitely mobilize the people of Bingzhou to help you."
Bai Xiaowen had a long-lost feeling of excitement. Now that Yuan Shao was dead, the biggest obstacle preventing him from becoming the leader of the forces had been removed!
Next, he would inherit the great cause and digest Yuan Shao's' legacy 'as much as possible. He would compete with the heroes and conquer the world. Wouldn't that be great?
Bai Xiaowen immediately gathered all the civil and military officials under his tent to discuss matters.
Now his team had begun to take shape. The civil side had Xun Yu, Lou Gui, Dong Zhao, and Sima Yi. The military side had Jiao Tan and Zhang Nan. In addition, he also had to include the talented people from Youzhou and Liaodong. For a warlord with a separatist regime, it was more than enough. But if he wanted to conquer the world, it was still not enough.
He had to quickly recruit the civil and military officials under Yuan Shao's command for his own use. Only then would he have the qualifications to conquer the world.
When Xun Yu and the others saw Bai Xiaowen dressed in white with a white cloth wrapped around his head, they were all shocked.
Bai Xiaowen told them about the Guandu incident. Everyone's expression was different.
Dong Zhao seemed to be remorseful, but he concealed it very well. If it wasn't for Bai Xiaowen's observation skills, he wouldn't have been able to see it. Xun Yu's face was still calm, similar to Lou Gui's. Sima Yi's eyes moved slightly, no one knew what he was thinking.
Everyone first advised Bai Xiaowen to restrain his grief. Bai Xiaowen also swore to take revenge, needless to say.
After the formalities, Bai Xiaowen got to the main topic, "Now that Father has passed away, the four prefectures of Hebei are in danger. Everyone is the first to know the news. Do you have any good ideas to teach me? "
