Sun Ce was helpless. He wanted to attack the city, but first of all, he didn't have enough troops. Secondly, he was afraid of Yuan Xi's pursuers.
Zhou Tai said, "To the south, there is a large island called Zhuya State with several counties. My Lord, why don't you ask for a large ship to go to Zhuya State? Shi Xie is a coward and is afraid that our army will attack the city. He will definitely agree. "
Sun Ce frowned. "My Sun family has been living in Hua Xia. How can we escape to a barbarian land?"
Zhou Tai said, "My Lord is only temporarily staying in Zhuya State as a stopgap measure."
Sun Ce could only agree.
Sure enough, as Zhou Tai expected, Shi Xie didn't want to provoke Sun Ce, so he agreed to send a ship and provisions. Sun Ce was sent out of the country like a plague.
… …
When Sun Ce went to Shuling, Jiaozhou, and sailed out to sea, Bai Xiaowen was also leading the army and divided into three groups to sweep Jiangnan.
Now that the unification was set in stone, Bai Xiaowen continued to create opportunities for his teammates to lead the army to attack the city and gain the unification contribution.
This was the advantage of being the Lord of a force. With Bai Xiaowen's current prestige, if he slightly favored some of his teammates and gave them the opportunity to gain merits, no native generals would object. Even if they had objections, they would keep it in their hearts.
If he wasn't the Lord of a force, he would have to rely on the hunters to find a way to gain the authority to lead the army to attack the city. It was certainly not as convenient as giving an order now.
In fact, several of his teammates had a good performance in the unification process. According to Bai Xiaowen's estimate, even Han Xu could get a hero class evolver book.
This was the advantage of having a small number of people.
The White Phoenix team only had five people, but they dominated the unification of the three countries. Even if a small part of the contribution was shared with Camille's team, the cake was too big and the number of people sharing it was too small. So, the amount of contribution each person received was amazing.
This was different from the Divine Court. There were easily thirty to forty people in a class in the Divine Court, and the main contribution had to be distributed to the class monitor, vice class monitor, and several team leaders. Naturally, the contribution distributed to each Awakened in the Divine Court was very small.
According to Camille's description, the God's Court could only produce two or three evolvers with hero template and about ten elite evolvers. The rest were all evolvers with normal templates.
Of course, if the Divine Court unified the three countries, the situation would be much better. The number of hero and elite evolvers would at least double, and there would be a great chance for a lord evolver to appear.
This was also the reason why Richard was able to secure his position as the monitor of the Divine Court Training Camp so quickly.
He just didn't know what kind of reproach Richard would face when he returned in defeat.
Moreover, Li Shuyi and the others' attack on Jiangnan went smoothly.
Many of the Guardians of the various counties and counties were from Jiangdong's aristocratic families. They scrambled to join Bai Xiaowen's side without shedding a drop of blood.
Especially after Lu Xun paid a personal visit and delivered Huang Gai's severed head, Wu County, Danyang County, and the other counties in the east automatically submitted to Lu Xun without fighting.
As for Luling, it was also conquered by Zhang He and Jia Xu. The reason was very simple. Han Dang and Zhou Tai abandoned the city, and Zhang He and Jia Xu picked up a city for free.
Bai Xiaowen then met the envoy of Jiao Province's Shixie.
This envoy was none other than Shixie's son, Shihui. Sending his son on a diplomatic mission was enough to show Shixie's sincerity.
Bai Xiaowen comforted Shihui and promised, "If your father surrenders, I will recommend him to be the King of Nanyue and serve the country for generations to come."
Shihui was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him. "My family will be loyal to the King of Yan and the imperial court for generations! This subject is willing to be a hostage to prove my loyalty. "
Shihui was also very transparent. He first said that he was loyal to the King of Yan and then the imperial court. The purpose of this was self-evident.
Bai Xiaowen originally thought that he would need to change the local officials of Jiao Province. However, he quickly received a notification from the Spiritual World that he had obtained the ruling rights of Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiao Province. The Grand Unification Main Storyline Quest 4 had been announced as completed, and he could submit the quest at any time.
Bai Xiaowen also learned that Sun Ce had brought Han Dang and Zhou Tai out to sea toward Zhuya Province, which would be Hainan Island in the future.
"Hainan Island is not part of the Grand Unification Main Storyline. This is not bad. Liu Bei went to Dongying, and Sun Ce went to Hainan. "Bai Xiaowen smiled and ordered people to bring Sun Ce's family and Zhou Yu to Yedu.
This is not to say that Bai Xiaowen covets Da Xiao Qiao. If possible, he does not mind sending Sun Ce's family back to Zhuya Prefecture and return them to Sun Ce.
However, doing so would only make the generals and generals feel weird. This was because normally speaking, Sun Ce's family had value. As a ruler, he would have to be crazy to do so.
Bai Xiaowen was not worried about Sun Ce's revenge.
Anyway, the Grand Unification Main Storyline Quest 4 had been completed. Even if Sun Ce and Liu Bei returned to the Central Plains, it would not affect Bai Xiaowen from submitting the quest. Missions that had been completed would not return to their incomplete state. This was also the operation of the Spiritual Realm's rules to prevent some Awakened from repeatedly jumping around opportunistically.
As for Zhao Yun, Bai Xiaowen also fulfilled the agreement. He used a fast boat to send him and Liu Bei's family to Dongying.
Bai Xiaowen did not choose to submit the Grand Unification Main Storyline Quest 4 for the time being. He planned to return to Yedu, ascend the throne, and get the last contribution before submitting it.
After occupying Jiangnan, Bai Xiaowen appointed Xun You as the Governor of Yangzhou, promoted Lu Xun as the Governor of Yangzhou, and promoted Zhang He as the Governor of Yangzhou. He was in charge of Yangzhou's military affairs. The military and government were separated. The subordinate officials of various counties were appointed to their original positions.
After consolidating Jiangnan, Bai Xiaowen returned to the Imperial Court.
However, before returning to the Imperial Court, Bai Xiaowen received an unexpected but reasonable piece of news.
There was a fire in Yedu.
This fire was not a natural disaster. It was a man-made disaster.
After Bai Xiaowen went to Jiangnan, Emperor Liu Xie, who lived in seclusion in the palace, sent out a secret edict. He gathered the officials who were still loyal to the Han Dynasty and set fire to Yedu in an attempt to make a final struggle.
However, before Bai Xiaowen set out, he had made two preparations.
First, the father and son, Ju Shou and Ju Hu, one civil and one military, cooperated with Tian Feng to seal the city gate of Yedu. They patrolled the city to put out the fire and pacified the people.
Then, the daughter of the Marquis of Xiliang, Han Qi, or Camille, who was the concubine, brought her trusted subordinates (Monica, Luke) and intercepted the secret edict.
Actually, this was also Bai Xiaowen's arrangement. He told Camille to pay close attention to a few Han officials who were famous in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. There was a high chance that she could get a decent contribution for the unification of China.
Camille's small group brought a hundred Xiliang Guards to capture Geng Ji and Wei Huang. They also killed Jin Yi, who started the fire, and calmed the chaos.
Then, Ju Shou and Ju Hu brought the Yedu troops to lock up the families of the Han officials who started the rebellion.
When Bai Xiaowen received this news, the chaos in Yedu had already calmed down.
