Bai Xiaowen and his teammates had already carefully studied the information on the "Grand Unification Main Mission".
It was worth mentioning that this was all classified information. However, the five members of the White Phoenix Battle Team were all qualified to access this information without paying any price.
The grand unification main mission could not be triggered casually.
If the goal was too small, it could not be triggered.
If the goal was too big, it could not be achieved!
For example, Bai Xiaowen wanted to unify Hua Xia. Such a grand goal could, of course, directly trigger the first grand unification main mission. However, it was still too difficult to unify Hua Xia within a month.
It was not known if the foreign tribes, such as Xianbei and Wuhuan, were included in the grand unification scope. If they were included, it would be even more difficult.
Moreover, the difficulty of the grand unification main mission increased with each level!
To put it simply, if the first Grand Unification Main Storyline Mission that Bai Xiaowen triggered had a difficulty of 10, then if he wanted to trigger the second Grand Unification Main Storyline Mission, the difficulty would increase to 11 or even 12. The goal he proposed would have to be even greater, or else he would not be able to trigger it.
Therefore, the first grand unification main mission was very crucial. It could be said that it was the starting point of unifying the world.
That night, Bai Xiaowen gathered his strategists and high-ranking generals at the Grand Sima Residence in Yedu to discuss the next plan.
"Now, the four prefectures of Hebei are basically stable. However, the land of the four prefectures does not belong to our Yuan family, "Bai Xiaowen said." Especially the Black Mountain Bandit Zhang Yan, who is entrenched between Ji and Bing prefectures. He has gathered in the mountains and forests and has committed many evil deeds. He must be eliminated. "
Tian Feng praised, "My lord, you are far-sighted. Zhang Yan is indeed a great threat to Ji Prefecture. He must be eliminated."
Dong Zhao praised, "I originally thought that my lord would forcibly go south to conquer Cao Cao due to hatred. I did not expect that although my lord is young, he would be able to consider the big picture and endure what ordinary people cannot endure. I am very impressed. "
Bai Xiaowen brought up the topic of the Black Mountain Bandit Zhang Yan to test the waters. However, he realized that the laws of the spiritual realm did not respond.
It seemed that the Black Mountain Bandit Zhang Yan's goal was too small.
Bai Xiaowen said again, "If Zhang Yan is pacified, our army can directly enter the northern part of Bing prefecture. The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and other Hu tribes have been in chaos for a long time. Every year, we have to spend a lot of money to pacify them. Do you think we can continue to pacify the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan after pacifying the Zhang Yan? "
The advisors under the tent were divided into two factions.
Tian Feng believed that the conflict between the Yuan and Cao Clans was a great opportunity. Only after one side won would they be able to wipe out the outsiders. If the Cao army were to cross the river and attack them from the front and back, they would be in danger.
Shen Pei and Dong Zhao felt that they should go on an expedition to the north. Their reasoning was that the Cao army was short on food and the other warlords were eyeing them covetously. It would be very difficult to transfer troops to attack Hebei. If they did not make use of this rare opportunity to pacify the Hu in the north and get rid of their worries, in the future when they fought with the Cao army, they would be held back.
The strategists all had their own reasons.
Suddenly, someone came to report that there was an urgent letter from Liyang.
Bai Xiaowen took the letter. It was from Jiang Yiqu.
After Bai Xiaowen opened the book, he passed it to everyone.
The strategists looked at each other in surprise. It turned out that the Cao army was attacking again!
This time, the vanguard of the Cao army was led by Xiahou Dun, with Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, and Cao Xiong as assistants. Apart from Cao Xiong, the other four were all famous generals on the battlefield. The Cao army could be said to be really aggressive this time.
Dong Zhao frowned, "That shouldn't be the case. Cao Cao's prime minister position has been removed, and the world sees him as a thief. He is short on food, so why would he attack Hebei?"
Although the current situation in the four prefectures of Hebei was not good, it was much better than Cao Cao's.
Bai Xiaowen smiled, "What do you think?"
Xun Yu kept silent.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head, "Okay, I misspoke."
When facing Cao Cao, Xun Yu would not give any advice. This was a gentleman's agreement between him and Bai Xiaowen when he was in Xudu.
Bai Xiaowen only felt that Xun Yu looked a little lethargic, so he made fun of him.
Xun Yu bowed, "Thank you for your help."
Bai Xiaowen smiled.
"Even if you don't say it, I can guess a thing or two. Cao Cao is really cunning. Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and the others are all elites. Although they are in a difficult situation, it shouldn't be a problem for them. After all, Cao Cao is not at the end of his rope. He is still the second most powerful lord in the world. All he needs to do is shrink his territory. "
Bai Xiaowen continued, "I wanted to go up north to conquer Zhang Yan, but it seems like Cao Cao won't give me the time. But that's good. I haven't taken revenge for my father, so I can use this opportunity to defeat Cao Cao. "
All the officials agreed. Cao Cao had come knocking on their door, so they had to take it.
Bai Xiaowen soon received a notification.
"Unification Main Quest 1: Defeat Cao Cao, successfully triggered!"
"You have obtained 30 days of free exploration time. Current free exploration time: 41 days, 8 hours, 17 minutes, 59 seconds. "
"Please defeat Cao Cao's camp before the free exploration time is up!"
There was a note at the end.
There were two main ways to defeat Cao Cao's camp.
First, kill or capture Cao Cao alive.
Second, occupy all the prefectures in Cao Cao's camp and crush all the troops there.
Completing either of these two aspects could be considered as completing [Grand Unification Main Storyline Mission 1].
Comparatively speaking, the first one seemed a little easier. After all, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was in danger many times. He was only able to survive because of his good luck and loyal guards.
Moreover, these two aspects complemented one another. The moment Cao Cao died, the Cao Family Group might collapse.
Bai Xiaowen immediately ordered the troops.
Minister of War Shi Dongzhao said, "The soldiers of the four states of Hebei are all gathered in Jizhou. There are a total of two hundred thousand. However, we just went through a huge battle, so it is hard to provide enough grain for two hundred thousand. "
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and said, "Quality is more important than quantity. Order the Youzhou and Bingzhou soldiers to return home and defend the cities to prevent the Hu and Sizhou Cao army from invading. "
"Should the Qingzhou soldiers return as well?" Dong Zhao asked.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head, "The Qingzhou soldiers are not in a rush. I need to reorganize them so that I can be at ease. As such, let them stay in Jizhou. Send another army led by Gao Ping and Gao Huai to Qingzhou to exchange for your winged cavalry. "
After pausing for a moment, Bai Xiaowen said, "Send orders to Jiang Yiqu to fortify the moat and not go out to battle."
Dong Zhao accepted the order.
Bai Xiaowen then chose the various elite troops, a total of thirty thousand, to head to Liyang.
This was different from when he faced Yuan Tan. Bai Xiaowen had the intention of persuading Yuan Tan to surrender. That was why he had brought an army of 100,000 with him. In the end, it was effective. Xin Pi opened the city gates at night to prevent the army from sieging.
This time, facing Xiahou Dun, no matter how big the commotion was, it was useless. In the end, they had to fight with real swords and spears. As such, Bai Xiaowen chose elite troops to reduce the pressure on grain.
Tian Feng said, "My lord, you still need to send more spies to Yuzhou, Sizhou, and other important places of Cao Cao to find out the situation. The Cao army was lacking grain, so why did he dare to invade? Where did he get the grain to supply his army? We need to find out more about this before we can restrict him. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded, "Sir Tian is right." As such, he sent more spies to Henan and no longer mentioned it.
