Bai Xiaowen and his teammates have already carefully studied the information on the "Unification Main Mission".
It is worth mentioning that this is classified information. However, all five members of the White Phoenix Team are qualified to access this information without any cost.
The main line of unification cannot be triggered casually.
The proposed target is too small and cannot be triggered.
The goal proposed is too big and cannot be completed!
For example, Bai Xiaowen wants to unify China. Such an ambitious goal can of course directly trigger the first main line of unification. However, it is still too difficult to unify China within a month.
I don’t know if foreign ethnic groups, such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, etc., are included in the scope of the unification. If so, it would be even more difficult.
Moreover, the difficulty of the unified main line is "increasing step by step"!
To put it simply, if Bai Xiaowen triggers the first unified main mission, the difficulty is 10; then if he wants to trigger the second unified main mission, the difficulty will be increased to 11 or even 12, and the proposed goal must be changed.
It must be grand, otherwise it will not be triggered.
Therefore, the first main line of unification is very crucial and can be said to be the starting point of unifying the world.
That night, Bai Xiaowen summoned counselors and senior generals at Da Sima's Mansion in Yedu to discuss the next plan.
"Now the four prefectures in Hebei are basically stable. However, not all the land in the four prefectures belongs to our Yuan family," Bai Xiaowen said. "In particular, the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan is entrenched in Jizhou and Bingzhou. He gathers in the mountains and forests and commits many evil deeds. We must
Get rid of it."
Tian Feng praised: "My lord has foresight. Zhang Yan is indeed a serious problem for Jizhou and must be eliminated."
Dong Zhao even praised: "I originally thought that my lord would forcefully go south to conquer Cao Cao out of hatred. I didn't expect that although my lord is young, he can take the overall situation into consideration and endure what ordinary people can't tolerate. I admire him very much."
Bai Xiaowen brought up the issue of Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan. He originally wanted to test it, but then found that the rules of the spirit world did not respond.
It seems that Montenegro Zhang Yan’s goal is too small.
Bai Xiaowen then said: "If Zhang Yan is pacified, our army can go straight to the northern part of Bingzhou. The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan and other Hu tribes have been in trouble in Youbian and Bingzhou for a long time. Every year, our army spends a lot of money on food, cloth, and silk.
Only then can we be appeased. Do you think that after pacifying Zhang Yan, can we continue to pacify the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Wuhuan?"
The counselors under the tent were divided into two groups.
Tian Feng believes that the current dispute between the Yuan and Cao families is a great opportunity for the world. Only after one side wins can the foreign tribes be wiped out one after another. If during the long drive north to conquer the northwest, Cao's army crosses the river to attack and is attacked from both sides.
It's dangerous.
After reviewing the allocation, Dong Zhao felt that the northern expedition should be carried out. The reason was that Cao's army was short of food and other princes were eyeing it, so it was difficult to mobilize troops to attack Hebei. If he did not take advantage of this rare opportunity to pacify the barbarians in the north and relieve his worries, then there would be no peace in the future.
Cao Jun's struggle for supremacy was inevitably constrained in the end.
There are several counselors, each of whom has his own reasons.
Suddenly someone came to report that an urgent message had arrived from Liyang.
Bai Xiaowen took the letter and it turned out to be from Jiang Yiqu.
After Bai Xiaowen opened and read it, he circulated it to everyone.
All the counselors looked at each other and were a little surprised. It turned out that Cao Jun was coming to kill him again!
This time, the vanguard of Cao's army was led by Xiahou Dun, with Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, and Cao Xiong as their deputies. Except for Cao Xiong, the other four generals were all famous and powerful generals on the battlefield. It can be said that Cao's army was attacking fiercely this time.
Dong Zhao frowned and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Cao Cao has been deposed as prime minister, and everyone in the world regards him as a bandit. Why should he attack Hebei when there is a shortage of food?"
Although the situation in the four states of Hebei at this time was not good, it was still much better than Cao Cao's life.
Bai Xiaowen asked with a smile: "What do you think, Xun Lingjun?"
Xun Yu remained silent.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "Okay, I made a mistake."
When facing Cao Cao, Xun Yu would not offer any advice. This was the gentleman's agreement he made with Bai Xiaowen when he was in Xudu.
Bai Xiaowen just thought that Xun Yu looked a bit sluggish, so he made a joke.
Xun Yu bowed and saluted: "I thank you, Lord, for your success."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said:
"Even if your Majesty doesn't say anything, I can still guess a thing or two. Cao Cao has many tricks, and his subordinates Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others are all heroes of the moment. Although they are in trouble at this time, they must not be able to defeat them.
After all, Cao Cao is not at the end of his rope yet, he is still the second largest prince in the world, he just needs to shrink his territory."
Speaking of this, Bai Xiaowen said again: "I originally wanted to conquer Zhang Yan in the north, but now it seems that Cao Cao is unwilling to give me this time. But it's good that my father's revenge has not been avenged, so I just take this opportunity to defeat Cao Cao!"
All the ministers agreed. Cao Cao came to the door and it was impossible not to accept the offer.
Bai Xiaowen quickly got the prompt message.
"Unification Main Mission 1: Defeat Cao Cao, successfully triggered!"
"You have been granted 30 days of free exploration time. The current total free exploration time is: 41 days, 8 hours, 17 minutes and 59 seconds."
"Please defeat Cao Cao's camp before the free exploration time runs out!"
There are notes at the back.
Defeating Cao Cao's camp mainly includes two aspects.
First, kill or capture Cao Cao alive.
Second, occupy all the counties and cities in Cao Cao's camp and defeat all the organized troops in Cao Cao's camp.
Completing either of these two aspects can be counted as completing [Unification Main Line Mission 1].
Comparatively speaking, the first item seems to be easier. After all, Cao Cao was in danger many times in the novel. He only survived because of good luck and loyal generals guarding him.
Moreover, these two aspects are complementary to each other. Once Cao Cao dies, the Cao Group is likely to experience a major collapse.
Bai Xiaowen immediately ordered the dispatch of troops.
Grand Sima Governor Shi Dongzhao said: "At present, the troops from the four states in Hebei are basically concentrated in Jizhou, with a total of more than 200,000. However, we have just experienced a war, and in terms of food and grass, it is difficult to supply an army of 200,000 for the expedition."
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and said: "Soldiers are more valuable than more. Order soldiers from Youzhou and Bingzhou to return home and guard the city to prevent the invasion of Hu people and Sizhou Cao's army."
"Do the Qingzhou soldiers want to return in the same way?" Dong Zhao asked.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "The Qingzhou soldiers are not in a hurry for the time being. They need to be reorganized before I can use them with confidence. Therefore, I let them stay in Jizhou and sent another army, led by the two brothers Gao Ping and Gao Huai, to Qingzhou to take down General Bai's wings.
Replace the cavalry."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "Send an order to Jiang Yiqu. The ditch is deep and the base is fortified. No battle is allowed."
Dong Zhao took the order.
Bai Xiaowen then selected elite troops from various ministries, totaling 30,000 people, and headed for Liyang.
This was different from the previous situation when facing Yuan Tan. Bai Xiaowen had the idea of persuading Yuan Tan to surrender, so he brought an army of 100,000 with a huge momentum. In the end, it achieved results. Xinpi, a young man of 25, opened the city at night.
Avoid the damage caused by the army siege.
Facing Xiahou Dun this time, it was useless no matter how loud he was. After all, he had to fight with real swords and guns, so Bai Xiaowen selected elite soldiers, so that the pressure on food and grass could be reduced.
Tian Feng said: "My lord still needs to do more detailed work, sneaking into Yuzhou, Sizhou and other important places of Cao Cao to inquire about the situation. Cao Cao's army was short of food, so why did he dare to send an army to invade? Where did he get the food and grass to supply the army? All these need to be investigated clearly.
, can be restricted.”
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "Tian Gong's words are very true." So he sent more detailed plans and sneaked into various places in Henan, not to mention it again.
