Inside the main tent.
Bai Xiaowen and Yuan Shang, these two brothers on the surface, were also toasting each other. The tent was filled with joy, and there was no sign of the swords and knives from before.
Dong Zhao accompanied him and saw Bai Xiaowen talking and laughing all by himself in the heart of the 'enemy's camp'. On the other hand, Yuan Shang was far inferior to Bai Xiaowen, whether it was in terms of knowledge or intelligence.
He couldn't help but think to himself that Yuan Shao had such a son; it was really strange. A lord like 'Gongzi Yuan Xi' was truly fascinating.
However, whether or not he was really worth following would depend on the capabilities of 'Young Master Yuan Xi' and whether or not he could get out of this dangerous place and turn the situation around.
If he didn't have a backup plan and was captured by Yuan Shang, causing his advantage to collapse, then all his previous heroic spirit would become a negative label. Maybe some people would still praise him, but more people would laugh at him.
Bai Xiaowen also knew this.
It was like playing League of Legends. In a situation where one's side had a huge advantage, if one played alone on the enemy's high ground, the enemy would definitely go all out to capture you.
At this time, if one could escape from the encirclement of five people and still gain some strategic benefits, it would be a show of skill. If one was caught and killed, causing the enemy to turn the tables, it would be a show of skill.
Bai Xiaowen's ambition was even bigger. Not only did he want to play on the enemy's high ground, but he also wanted to kill all five of them. This was a show of skill!
Of course, Bai Xiaowen also had such a reason.
Although Yuan Shang claimed to have a 100,000 strong army, in reality? The power he could really use was pitifully small. Guandu's defeated army and Jiang Yiqu appeared to be in harmony with Yuan Shang. Although Bai Xiaowen was in the tiger's den, he was as steady as Mount Tai.
Even if the actual situation was different from what he expected, and Yuan Shang really completely subdued Jiang Yiqu, what was Bai Xiaowen afraid of? It was just another show of "conquering Liaodong alone". As a summoner, Bai Xiaowen had the ability to do so!
Of course, this was a bad plan, as it meant that he would have to kill a bunch of generals. From the perspective of benefits, it was far better to take the other party in for their own use. That way, they could preserve the strength of the Yuan Family's camp to the greatest extent.
While he was casually chatting with Yuan Shang, Bai Xiaowen had already instructed Li Shuyi on how to persuade Zhang He through the team channel!
There was no need for Li Shuyi to give any feedback. After Bai Xiaowen cultivated the Inner Vision Technique, his psychic scanning ability had been greatly enhanced. The main tent and the side tent were several li apart, but Bai Xiaowen could still 'hear' the movements in the side tent by concentrating his psychic energy purposefully.
As a Suzerain General, once Zhang He was willing to submit, the other Guandu Generals would naturally submit as well.
This was not instigation because the Guandu generals were not convinced by Yuan Shang. It was just that Yuan Shang faked his will and forced them to follow him temporarily.
As for Zhang He, Bai Xiaowen had put in a lot of effort. Sending Li Shuyi to kill Secret Envoy Guo Tu was just one step. Getting Ju Shou to intercede and form a relationship with him was another step.
With such kindness and Bai Xiaowen's current status, obtaining Zhang He's approval was just a matter of time.
Zhang He was also worthy of Bai Xiaowen's efforts.
After Yan Liang and Wen Chou died, Zhang He was the only Suzerain General in the Yuan Family's camp. Of course, the four prefectures of Hebei were vast, and Bai Xiaowen did not know if there were any hidden Ultraman. From the perspective of how widespread he was, the possibility was not high.
Furthermore, Zhang He was a general like Zhao Yun. He was very useful and listened to everything Zhao Yun said! In this sense, he was more useful than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two valiant generals.
Zhang He was only slightly weaker than Zhao Yun, but he was enough to be the face of the Yuan Family's camp.
Yuan Shang could not hold it in anymore and said, "Second brother is now the commander-in-chief. How impressive."
Bai Xiaowen smiled faintly. "I heard that the higher a person's status is, the more humble they are. This is because they know how important their responsibilities are. Third brother, don't just look at the prestige of the commander-in-chief and forget that this position also has the responsibility of protecting the four prefectures of Hebei and fighting against Cao Cao. "
Yuan Shang felt that if he continued to argue with his second brother, he might be convinced. He made up his mind.
"Second brother, if you feel that the commander-in-chief has a great responsibility and a difficult task, then I can help you remove this burden."
Dong Zhao's wine bottle stopped in mid-air.
The atmosphere in the main tent, which was originally joyous, suddenly turned solemn.
Yuan Shang and Feng Ji nervously looked at Bai Xiaowen's reaction. They were waiting for him to say 'no', and then the five hundred personal guards and four battle generals lying in ambush outside the tent would rush in and take him down.
Bai Xiaowen laughed loudly. "Third brother, you really know how to joke. The commander-in-chief was bestowed by the Emperor himself. He built an altar and appointed a general. It is not a joke. It is not something that can be removed just like that. "
Yuan Shang suddenly stood up and said sternly, "Second brother, you are wrong. The four prefectures of Hebei are the family business left behind by father. It is not up to the Emperor to decide who to pass it to. It must be up to father's will! Where are Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhang San, and Ma Yan? "
"Present!"
The four generals led the five hundred soldiers into the commander's tent. The originally spacious main tent of the central army suddenly became crowded.
Yuan Shang pointed at Bai Xiaowen, who was still sitting at the table. "Take Yuan Xi down!"
"Slow down."
As Bai Xiaowen spat out these two words clearly, Lu Kuang and the other generals felt a shock from the bottom of their hearts. They actually found it difficult to take a step forward!
In their field of vision, Bai Xiaowen's figure became incomparably tall, like a mountain, making them feel powerless.
If the four generals were like this, then there was no need to mention the five hundred soldiers. They were like clay statues, frozen in place.
Bai Xiaowen slowly stood up and looked at Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, and the others. "Putting aside my brother's ignorance and stubbornness for now, have the four of you really thought this through?"
The mental force field of deterrence was ineffective against leader-level generals, so the deterrence on Lu Kuang and the other generals quickly ended.
But that was that. When the four generals heard Bai Xiaowen's words and saw his calm and confident expression, they looked at each other. No one was willing to be the first to step forward.
"Take him down!" Yuan Shang shouted angrily. "Whoever takes Yuan Xi down will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and the title of Marquis of ten thousand households!"
Originally, it was said that generous rewards would attract brave men, but Yuan Shang's generous reward did not produce any effect. The four generals still looked at each other. No one dared to really take Bai Xiaowen down.
At this moment, a flurry of footsteps sounded outside the tent.
The two soldiers guarding the commander's tent were scared witless and rushed into the tent. "Third young master, bad news!"
"Call me Grand Marshal!" Yuan Shang said angrily. "What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"
The soldier quickly nodded. "Yes, young master … Zhang He, Gao Lan, and the other forty-three generals are all leading their own soldiers and waiting outside the tent. They say they want to meet … meet Grand Marshal!"
