Bai Xiaowen told everyone about Ma Chao's invasion and said, "I have never let Ma Chao down. Since he came to invade, I have to get rid of him."
After saying that, Bai Xiaowen received a notification from the spiritual world's rules.
"Grand Unification Main Mission 2: Consolidate the north, triggered!"
"You have obtained 30 days of free exploration time. Current free exploration time: 53 days, 14 hours, 28 minutes, 31 seconds. "
"Please consolidate the rear of the Yuan Family before the free exploration time ends!"
With his first experience, Bai Xiaowen focused on the note at the end.
The criteria for consolidating the rear was to unify the north of Hua Xia and not have any organized resistance forces.
Different from [Grand Unification Main Storyline Mission 1], these two conditions had to be fulfilled.
Bai Xiaowen calculated in his heart.
No wonder when the national policy was formulated, such as suppressing bandits and stationing of farmland, the grand unification main mission did not trigger. It turned out that the second grand unification main mission included Liangzhou!
In terms of difficulty, it was about the same as defeating Cao Cao. Considering the difference in intelligence and strength between the Xiliang Army and Cao Cao, the second grand unification main mission was actually easier than the first.
However, for the second grand unification main mission, the Xiliang Army was only one of the main targets, not the only one. Bai Xiaowen still needed to eliminate Zhang Yan, the Bing Province Horse Gang, and several other bandit leaders to complete the mission.
If not for the incident with the Xiliang Army, Bai Xiaowen could have easily eliminated Zhang Yan.
However, Ma Chao had broken the border, and it was hard to guarantee that Zhang Yan and the others would not take advantage of the situation.
One must know that Zhang Yan was a very smart bandit during the Three Kingdoms Era. He had a strategic vision and could not be seen as an ordinary bandit.
Bai Xiaowen's mind worked very quickly, and many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
At this moment, the generals below all asked to fight.
Bai Xiaowen said, "I have decided to fight personally in this expedition to Xiliang. Lord Tian will be in charge of guarding Yedu, and Xun Yu will be in charge of supervising the provisions. "
Tian Feng and Xun Yu stepped out at the same time and said, "We will not let you down."
Bai Xiaowen continued, "I'm going to take fifty thousand elite soldiers and head to Tong Pass." Soon after, he reported a list of names of generals such as Gao Lan, Han Meng, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yue Jin, and so on. They were all famous generals of Yuan Cao's camp.
Tian Feng said, "I heard that the Xi Liang Army has a hundred thousand soldiers, and most of them are cavalrymen. Milord only brought fifty thousand soldiers. Isn't that too little? "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Quality is more important than quantity. Even if the Western Liang Army has 100,000 soldiers, in my opinion, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs. Besides, there are twenty or thirty thousand elite troops at Tong Pass, plus we are fighting on our home ground, we have the advantage of favorable timing and geographical location. Although our troops are slightly smaller, we can still win. "
Zhang San stepped forward and said, "My lord, why don't you take me with you?"
Bai Xiaowen said, "The purpose of my expedition to the west this time is to defeat Ma Chao. What I am worried about are the Bing Province Horse Gang, the Black Mountain Zhang Yan and the other bandits. If they take the opportunity to stir up trouble, it will be hard to avoid harming the common people and destabilizing my foundation. General, you are skilled in both military and civil matters. You can lead troops to defend Yedu. If Zhang Yan really sends troops to plunder, you will send troops to stop them. "
Zhang San did not expect Bai Xiaowen to let him take charge of an area alone. He felt that his life had reached a new peak. He was overjoyed and immediately thanked Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen left Zhang San behind to defend the city because he learned from the lesson of Cao Cao's attack on Xudu.
If Cao Cao had left one or two Lord level generals to defend the city, even if Bai Xiaowen had the help of twenty thousand Youzhou troops, it would not have been easy to take down Xudu.
The current Yedu was located in Jizhou and had the newly developed Henan as a buffer. As such, it was much safer than Cao Cao's Xudu. However, Bai Xiaowen would not let his guard down. Leaving Zhang He behind to guard against Zhang Yan was also for this purpose.
While the army was preparing, Bai Xiaowen went to find a person: General Yangwu, Xuanwei Marquis, Zhang Xiu!
Let's talk about Zhang Xiu's achievements. He had defeated Cao Cao at Wancheng and killed Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin, and even Dian Wei.
During the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both sent envoys to recruit Zhang Xiu.
In the end, under the persuasion of Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu submitted to Cao Cao once more. To show that Cao Cao was willing to let bygones be bygones, he became in-laws with Zhang Xiu and gave him the title of General Yangwu.
However, Zhang Xiu was still very careful and tried his best to reduce his presence.
If he was too high profile, Cao Cao might remember that he was the one who killed his beloved general, eldest son, and nephew. That would be a tragedy.
After Bai Xiaowen took down the Cao Family, he moved many talents from Xudu to Yedu. Naturally, Zhang Xiu was one of them.
Living in Yedu, the new General Yangwu Manor, Zhang Xiu became even more careful.
After all, he had rejected Yuan Shao's recruitment and chased away the envoys sent by Yuan Shao. Furthermore, after submitting to Cao Cao, he became in-laws with Cao Cao. In order to protect himself, it was best for him to continue to be invisible and reduce his presence.
However, while this move was useful against Cao Cao, it was useless against Bai Xiaowen.
Zhang Xiu's performance in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was not obvious, but in the predecessor of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Commentary, his performance was quite eye-catching.
He had a title: Northern Spear King! Also known as Godly Spear Zhang Xiu, one could tell that he was extraordinary and had a high legend level.
To Bai Xiaowen, such a large Lord-Class General was like a firefly in the dark night. How could he not pay attention to such a conspicuous and outstanding individual?
Although Zhang Xiu was ranked at the bottom of the Three Kingdoms Lord level generals, he was still a Lord. Furthermore, he was good at listening to advice and was not stubborn. As long as he solved the problem of loyalty, he could be used without worry.
General Yangwu Manor. Bai Xiaowen suddenly visited, and Zhang Xiu quickly went to welcome him.
Bai Xiaowen did not look for Zhang Xiu to 'recruit' him. This was because Bai Xiaowen represented the Imperial Court, and Zhang Xiu was not an idle person. He was the Yangwu General and Xuanwei Marquis, so he should listen to Bai Xiaowen's orders.
The word 'recruit' was more appropriate.
What was worth mentioning was that Zhang Xiu did not find Bai Xiaowen's' recruit 'strange. He happily agreed to follow the army to the west.
Bai Xiaowen even used [Insight] on Zhang Xiu.
In the end, he found that Zhang Xiu was the same as Xiahou Yuan. He was an Agility-based Lord, and his spear technique was the 'Phoenix Spear Technique'. If the enemy could not defeat Zhang Xiu in the first twenty rounds, then they would find it more and more difficult to defeat him.
However, as the generals and lords of the Three Kingdoms, they would be at a disadvantage if they didn't have superior strength. For more details, see Xiahou Yuan.
Furthermore, Xiahou Yuan had good archery and was an ADC, so it was normal for him to have lower strength.
It was no wonder that Zhang Xiu was ranked at the bottom of the Lords. Some rare leader level generals might be able to defeat him in a one on one fight.
Bai Xiaowen was not too disappointed. Instead, he asked, "General Zhang, have you seen Jia Xu?"
