Sun Ce had no choice but to attack the city, but firstly he did not have enough troops, and secondly he was afraid of Yuan Xi's pursuit.
Zhou Tai said: "To the south of this trip, there is a big island called Zhuyazhou, with several counties. My lord, why don't you ask for a big ship and go to Zhuyazhou. Scholars without courage are afraid of our army attacking the city.
, I will definitely agree.”
Sun Ce frowned and said, "My Sun family has lived in China for a long time, how can I escape to a barbarian land?"
Zhou Tai said: "My lord is only temporarily staying in Zhuya Prefecture as a temporary measure."
Sun Ce could only agree.
Sure enough, as Zhou Tai expected, Shi Xie didn't want to offend Sun Ce, so he agreed to send a ship and gifts of grain and grass, and sent Sun Ce gifts out of the country like a plague god.
…
While Sun Ce was rushing to Luling, walking to Jiaozhou, and sailing out to sea, Bai Xiaowen was also leading an army, divided into three groups, and sweeping the south of the Yangtze River.
Now that the unification is certain, Bai Xiaowen will continue to create opportunities for his teammates, allowing them to lead their troops to attack cities and conquer territories to increase their contribution to the unification.
This is the advantage of the leader of the force. With Bai Xiaowen's current prestige, if he favors some teammates a little and gives them the opportunity to gain military exploits, there will be no objection from the aboriginal generals, and even if they have opinions, they will keep it in their hearts.
If he is not the leader of the force, he will have to rely on the awakened person to find a way to obtain the authority to lead troops to attack the city. It is definitely not as convenient as giving an order now.
In fact, several teammates performed well during the unification process. According to Bai Xiaowen's estimation, even Han Xu was able to get a Hero Evolver Book.
This is the advantage of having a small number of people.
The White Phoenix Team has only five people, but it dominates the unification of the Three Kingdoms. Even if a small portion of the contribution is allocated to the Camille Team, the cake is too big and the number of people sharing it is small, so the contribution to the unification that each person receives is,
There are surprisingly many.
This is different from Shenting. A class in Shenting often has thirty or forty people, and the main contributions are divided among the squad leader, deputy squad leader and several team leaders. Naturally, the contribution assigned to each awakened member of Shenting is very small.
According to Camille's story, with the relatively low difficulty of unifying the planes, the Divine Court can only produce two or three heroic template evolvers, a dozen elite evolvers, and the rest are ordinary template evolvers.
Of course, if Shen Ting unifies the Three Kingdoms, the situation will be much better. The number of hero templates and elite template evolvers will at least double, and there is great hope that lord evolvers will appear.
This is also the reason why Richard was able to quickly secure his position as squad leader of Shenting Training Camp. He drew a big pie.
I just don’t know what kind of blame Richard will face if he returns in vain this time.
Besides, to pacify Jiangnan, Li Shuyi and others' attacks went very smoothly.
Many of the officials in various prefectures and counties came from the Jiangdong gentry, and they rushed to join Bai Xiaowen, almost without losing any blood.
Especially after Lu Xun personally visited and delivered Huang Gai's head, Wu County, Danyang County and other eastern counties and cities did not need to fight, and they automatically surrendered.
As for Luling, it was also captured by Zhang He and Jia Xu. The reason is very simple. Han Dang and Zhou Tai abandoned the city and left, while Zhang He and Jia Xu picked up a city in vain.
Bai Xiaowen then met Jiaozhou Shixie's envoy.
This envoy was none other than Shi Xie's own son, Shi Hui. Allowing his own son to go as an envoy was enough to show Shi Xie's sincerity.
Bai Xiaowen comforted Shi Hui with good words and promised: "If your father surrenders, I will appoint him as the king of South Vietnam and he will be the vassal of the country forever from generation to generation."
Shi Hui was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him: "Our Shi family will be loyal to King Yan and the court from generation to generation! I am willing to pledge it to prove the Shi family's loyalty."
The official emblem is also very transparent. First, it says loyalty to King Yan, and then the imperial court. What the intention is is self-explanatory.
Bai Xiaowen originally thought that he would have to change a group of local officials in Jiaozhou to gain actual control. However, he soon received a reminder of the rules of the spirit world and had already obtained the actual control of Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou. The main task of unifying
4 has been declared completed and the task can be submitted at any time.
Bai Xiaowen later learned that Sun Ce, Han Dang, and Zhou Tai had gone to sea to Zhuya Prefecture, which was later known as Hainan Island.
"Hainan Island is not included in the unified scope. This is not bad. Liu Bei went to Japan and Sun Ce went to Hainan." Bai Xiaowen smiled and ordered people to bring Sun Ce's family members, including Zhou Yu, to Yedu.
.
This is not to say that Bai Xiaowen covets Big and Little Qiao. If possible, he actually doesn't mind sending Sun Ce's family members to Zhuya Prefecture and returning them to Sun Ce.
But doing this will only make the generals and generals under his command feel strange, because normally, Sun Ce's family members are valuable, and as a monarch, he would only give them to him if he is crazy.
Bai Xiaowen is not worried about Sun Ce's revenge either.
Anyway, the main task 4 of the Unification has been completed. Even if Sun Ce and Liu Bei return to the Central Plains, it will not affect Bai Xiaowen's submission of tasks. Completed tasks will not be returned to the unfinished state. This is also the operation of the rules of the spiritual world.
Avoid the speculative behavior of some awakened people jumping sideways repeatedly.
As for Zhao Yun, Bai Xiaowen also fulfilled the agreement and sent him and Liu Bei's family to Japan on a fast ship.
Bai Xiaowen has not chosen to submit the Main Unification Mission 4 for the time being, but plans to submit it after returning to Yedu, ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, and receiving the last contribution.
After occupying the land south of the Yangtze River, Bai Xiaowen appointed Xun You as the governor of Yangzhou, promoted Lu Xun to be the governor of Yangzhou, and Zhang He to be the governor of Yangzhou, in charge of military affairs in Yangzhou, and separated military and political affairs.
The lieutenant is in charge of local defense.
After consolidating the land south of the Yangtze River, Bai Xiaowen returned to the court with his troops.
However, before returning to the court, Bai Xiaowen received an unexpected and reasonable news:
There was a fire in Yedu.
This fire was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
Emperor Liu Xie, who was living in seclusion in the palace, sent out a secret edict after Bai Xiaowen went to Jiangnan, gathered the officials who were still loyal to the Han Dynasty, and burned the capital of Ye in an attempt to make a final struggle.
However, Bai Xiaowen had already made two preparations before going on the expedition.
First of all, Ju Shuo, Ju Hu and his son, who were both civil and military, cooperated with Tian Feng to block the gate of Yedu, patrol the city to put out fires, and stabilize the people's hearts.
Then Han Qi, also known as Camille, the daughter of the Marquis of Xiliang as a concubine, intercepted the secret edict with her cronies (Monica, Lu Luoke).
In fact, it was also Bai Xiaowen's arrangement to have Camille pay close attention to the Han ministers whose names were mentioned in several novels, so that it was very possible to make a good contribution to the unification.
Camille's squad, with hundreds of soldiers from Xiliang, captured the Shaofu Geng Ji and Sizhi Wei Huang alive, killed Jin Yi who set the fire, and put an end to the chaos.
Then Jushou and Juhu led the defenders of Yedu and took into custody all the families who had rebelled against the Han officials.
When Bai Xiaowen got the news, the turmoil in Yedu had been put down.
