Should he take in Ma Teng?
In Bai Xiaowen's eyes, the prerequisite was whether or not he could be cured.
If he could be cured, then naturally he could take him in and take advantage of the Xiliang army.
If he could not be cured, then it was best not to get into trouble.
Under the guidance of this train of thought, Bai Xiaowen did not comment on Ma Dai's statement. He only said, "I've already asked Daoist Master Lang Yazi to check on General Ma's injuries. If it is within the scope of my ability, considering that we are both important officials of the Great Han Dynasty, I will ask Lang Yazi to do his best to treat him. However, if it is not possible, then you should find someone else. "
After making his statement, Bai Xiaowen told Dong Zhao to arrange for the envoy to stay at the inn.
Not long after the Xiliang envoy left, Dong Zhao came to report that Han Sui's daughter Han Qi wanted to meet him.
After Bai Xiaowen unified the north, he was not like Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. His family was as deep as the ocean, and even a servant could not treat him lightly.
Two days ago, Bai Xiaowen killed three people in a fit of rage because they asked for bribes. Then, he chose a new one, stating that he could not judge people based on their appearance, clothing, or rank. However, if someone came to visit, he had to inform the inner court and let Dong Zhao decide whether or not to accept them.
Although the details could not determine success or failure, they could affect it.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao, he was filled with pride. Even the officials of the prime minister's manor became arrogant.
A certain diplomat from Yizhou (Sichuan) who did not want to reveal his name originally wanted to offer Yizhou to Cao Cao.
As a result, he was first asked for a bribe by the gatekeeper and was only notified three days later. Afterwards, Cao Cao boasted about his martial arts and said that he was a wise and slow soldier. This caused the diplomat, who had too much self-esteem, to turn to Liu Bei and offer Yi Province to Liu Bei.
After Bai Xiaowen finished reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he summarized Cao Cao's mistakes.
For example, forcefully occupying Zhang Xiu's aunt, Lady Zou, causing Zhang Xiu to surrender and rebel, causing the loss of Dian Wei. Xu Tian's act of breaking the encirclement caused Emperor Xian of Han to be unable to tolerate it and issue an edict, weakening Cao Cao's righteous status as the Son of Heaven. For example, he did not see through Zhou Yu's plan to sow discord and killed Cai Pa and Zhang Yun, the two talents in naval warfare.
However, these were all small mistakes.
There were two major mistakes:
Firstly, he was greedy and forcefully gathered troops down Jiangnan, causing Red Cliff to be attacked by fire and suffer a huge loss.
Secondly, he underestimated the value of Yi Province. After conquering Hanzhong, he didn't attack Yi Province in time. When Liu Bei conquered Xichuan and established his foundation, it was too late for regrets.
Cao Cao was a tenacious character who could fight steadily against the wind. However, he did not know how to fight against the wind.
Of course, this was not to criticize Cao Cao. As the leader of the natives, it was normal for him to have such limitations.
Bai Xiaowen summarized Cao Cao's mistakes just to warn himself not to make the same mistake. If it weren't for those two big mistakes, Cao Cao would have already unified Hua Xia.
Now, Bai Xiaowen, who had unified the north, was at the juncture before the Battle of Red Cliff, so they needed to pay more attention.
Han Qi, also known as Camille, was brought to Bai Xiaowen by Dong Zhao without much resistance after the announcement.
Bai Xiaowen dismissed the people around him, and Dong Zhao also tactfully left first.
In Dong Zhao's eyes, his lord was only in his twenties and was at the age where he was hot-blooded. He sat in the central plains and had power over the world, so it was normal for women to come to him. If he stayed here, wouldn't his lord feel that he was a hindrance?
If it were Tian Feng or Xun Yu, they might try to persuade him. However, Dong Zhao would not do such a thankless thing.
This was also the reason why Bai Xiaowen made Dong Zhao the official. This person had a certain degree of slyness in his personality.
Camille saw that there was no one around, so she opened her arms and hugged him, "Aiyo, Captain Bai …"
"Cough cough!"
Bai Xiaowen took a step back, "Miss Han Qi, please respect yourself."
"I am in Xiliang and have been waiting for you for a long time." Camille blinked. "Captain Bai, how can you be so heartless? You've always ignored me … Poor me, I'm still working hard to climb up the ranks, just so that one day, I can give you a surprise and give you Western Liang …"
Bai Xiaowen's scalp went numb when he heard this. He hurriedly activated his spiritual power to form a spiritual shield to cover Camille, "Stop, Miss Camille, this is the plane of the Three Kingdoms. Please respect your identity as an intruder and don't let the natives see any flaws! From now on, don't mention such things again. "
Camille said, "There are no people from the Spiritual Realm here, what are you afraid of?"
Bai Xiaowen frowned and said, "Don't underestimate people from the Spiritual Realm, especially in the plane of the Three Kingdoms! There is no team channel between you and me, so there is no way to communicate secretly. If you want to exchange information, it is best to let me use my spiritual power to shield you. "
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said with a hint of sternness, "If you treat my words as nothing, then I can only consider abandoning you as a partner."
The smile on Camille's face disappeared, and she became much more serious, "Sorry for the inconvenience. Well, Mr. Bai Xiaowen, I already know my position, and I will not be a burden. Please take me with you. "
Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and said, "You did a good job in Xiliang. It was a wise choice not to come to me immediately."
Camille smiled, "This is what I learned in the Divine Court Training Camp. After the team enters, don't rush to gather. Develop separately in your respective camps. When you reach a certain level, you can exchange information with each other and decide the next step of the strategy. Then, you can join forces to defeat the natives and promote a great unification. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "It seems that the Divine Court Training Camp is not without its merits."
Camille asked again, "Who is that Cao Xiong?"
Bai Xiaowen said, "You should be able to guess it."
There was a hint of understanding in Camille's eyes.
"It's Richard, right? He and Alberta also chose the plane of the Three Kingdoms. But unfortunately, the two of them were too confident. Alberta's analytical and commanding skills were not as good as Andre's, and Richard's strength was far inferior to Augustus'. Even Augustus and Andre did not choose the plane of the Three Kingdoms as their goal. I really don't know where Richard's courage comes from. "
Bai Xiaowen deeply agreed.
In fact, even without Bai Xiaowen, it would be difficult for Richard to complete the unification of the plane of the Three Kingdoms.
Cao Cao obviously saw that "Cao Xiong" had been replaced, so he used him as bait.
Without Bai Xiaowen, Cao Cao would have successfully destroyed the Yuan family and become stronger, just like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Then, Richard would have to find a way to murder his four brothers first, and then murder Cao Cao, so that he could smoothly inherit the great cause.
And these steps had to be completed within two or three months. One could imagine how difficult it was.
"However, you were able to destroy Cao Cao's camp and expel the Divine Court under the obstruction of the Divine Court. You are really amazing." Camille was not flirting this time. She was sincerely praising him.
"Obstruction of the Divine Court? Really? " Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "In fact, I am very grateful to Richard. He helped me a lot."
