Ding, the system prompts, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Xuanwu Spirit Shell (equipping this shell can summon the Xuanwu True Body to descend)
Xuanwu did not follow Cheng Fang to leave, it still chose to guard the northern land and continue to sleep in the Xuanwu Tower!
When Cheng Fang was leaving, he sent Cheng Fang a pitch-black turtle shell, indicating that as long as Cheng Fang needed it, he could consume a hundred skills and summon it to appear to help in the battle!
Cheng Fang didn't plan to take Xuanwu with him, after all, this guy still has to continue to guard the northern land and protect the peace here!
Gladly accepted the gift of Xuanwu, and then took Zhao Yun and Xiang Yu to leave the Xuanwu Tower, left the northernmost part of the Central Plains, and came to the neighboring city, Daijun!
This place originally belonged to Yuan Shao, but it was attacked by Yan Liang and others a few days ago, and now it belongs to Cheng Fang!
He led the two into the city, looking at the streets of the city that had become extremely depressed due to the war, and looking at the civilians in the city who were full of fatigue, Cheng Fang was suddenly angry!
He found Zhang He, the military general who temporarily led the Daijun Taishou. In his mouth, he learned that the reason why this city was so miserable was because when Yuan Shaojun retreated, he wantonly plundered the money and grain in the city, not as Cheng Fang thought, but because of his own side attacking the city!
"Damn Yuan Shao!"
Cheng Fang's eyes flashed coldly, and then he ordered Fu Zhi and Tian Feng to appease the local residents, and he took Zhao Yun, Xiang Yu, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou out of the city!
From the Yellow Turban Uprising, to the crusade against Dong Zhuo, from the Battle of the Tiger Prison, to the Pure Land. Yuan Shao's guy can be said to be against Cheng Fang to the end, which can be called an old enemy!
He decided to take action in person, and killed all the way to Jizhou from here, and personally cut off Yuan Shao's head to relieve the resentment in his heart!
Cheng Fang already owned many cities in Youzhou at this time, plus many cities in Puyang, Pingyuan, Daijun, and Xuzhou, as well as the city belonging to Beihai Taishou Kong Rong who had recently taken refuge, and the Shouchun domain obtained by Lu Bu by eliminating Yuan Shu, the strength and power can be described as the dominant in the north!
In three months, Cheng Fang only took three months, and he joined hands with four generals to form a five-person team, and successively occupied Jieqiao Pass, Huguan, Jinyang City, and Yanmen Pass!
This journey has never killed even one person, because these city guards, when they saw Cheng Fang coming, chose to open the door and dedicate the city.
Cheng Fang felt that these people were still aware of current affairs, so he ordered them to continue to take on the duties of Taishou.
Of course, Cheng Fang still has requirements for doing this, and he asks these cities to practice the way of farming, build water conservancy, irrigate farmland, and move forward to the ideal Pure Land of Bliss!
As the saying goes, there are positives and negatives, and there is obedience and resistance, except for the famous people on the star list, the rest of the recalcitrant ones have been beheaded!
On this day, Cheng Fang and his generals came to Yecheng, where Yuan Shao belonged, and Cheng Fang learned through the system that the people guarding this city were Yuan Shao's three sons, namely Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Tan!
These three brothers are fighting openly and secretly, trying to obtain the position of the lord of Jizhou from their father!
But today, their dreams were shattered!
Cheng Fang started a systematic war against this city, and it took less than an hour to kill the 100,000 soldiers and horses guarding the city, and capture the three brothers!
In the face of Yuan Shao's three sons, Cheng Fang neither chose to surrender nor to detain him, but ordered Xiang Yu to drag all three of them out and behead them, and hang their heads on the city to show the public!
"Yuan Shao, this is just interest, I want you to watch your great Jizhou, a little bit by me in my hands!"
Cheng Fang looked at Jizhou, which was only separated by this city, and made a grand wish in his heart to completely unify the north in half a year, replace Yuan Shao, and become the real lord of the north!
Cheng Fang said it and did it!
Three months, it only took three months, Cheng Fang finally pacified Qingzhou, merged the state, and came to the Jizhou base camp where Yuan Shao was located on a howling afternoon with a strong wind!
According to the accounts of some surrendered generals, Yuan Shao's gang has hoarded a large number of soldiers, grain and grass in Jizhou, and is ready to fight to the death with Cheng Fang!
But the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny!
Just when Yuan Shao thought that he had the strength to match Cheng Fang, something happened in Jizhou that he didn't expect!
For example, Xu You's defection, the betrayal of many generals, the mutiny of soldiers, etc., all made Yuan Shao exhausted!
This battle did not surprise everyone, Yuan Shao was defeated, and the defeat was extremely miserable.
When Cheng Fang entered the city where Yuan Shao was located, and many soldiers surrendered one after another, Yuan Shao finally didn't come over in one breath and vomited blood and died!
In this way, a generation of heroes from Jizhou fell, and Cheng Fang also realized his previous ambition, and finally in the winter of this year, he obtained all the cities in Hebei and became the true lord of the north!
Since he pacified the north, he has adhered to the style of acting in the Pure Land of Bliss wherever he goes, developing agriculture everywhere he goes, appeasing the people, so that the people have little support, the old have something to rely on, the family has enough food and clothing, and the people live and work in peace and contentment!
At the same time as Cheng Fang attacked the city, Cao Cao, who was far away in Xudu, also expanded his territory, he occupied Luoyang, entered Chang'an, Pingwan City, and fought Jingzhou, which can be described as a rainbow, and the power it now has, in terms of the number of cities, is not inferior to Cheng Fang!
Just when Cheng Fang was discussing the next step with Zhao Yun and others, he received a letter!
The content of this letter is very simple, but the meaning it represents makes Cheng feel at ease!
"I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to be quite good at playing!"
That's right, this letter was written by Dong Zhuo, who had been missing for a long time!
Dong Zhuo said in the letter that he had hoarded grain and grass in Meiwu, and under the protection of his subordinates Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and military advisors Li Ru and Jia Xu, he reluctantly resisted the attack of the Cao army!
"Lord, will I support immediately!" Xiang Yu didn't know Dong Zhuo.
His idea is very simple, since he is a subordinate of the lord, then he is his own colleague. Since his colleagues are in trouble, then he will support him desperately!
"Let them play first!"
Cheng Fang didn't immediately choose to support Meiwu, but after a smile, he said: "Rescue what's the most boring, haven't you heard of Wei Wei saving Zhao!" ”
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have guessed something!
"I mean it very simply!" Cheng Fang finally said his plan!
"Occupy Luoyang, fight Chang'an, enter Xiapi, and enter Xiliang!"
"Why is it so troublesome?"
Xiang Yu was a little puzzled, he really didn't understand, why did the lord do things so roundaboutly, and kill him directly, Uncle Gan Te!
"Just kill it? How is that possible! ”
Cheng Fang smiled dumbly, and then said with a solemn expression: "If I say that we don't have the strength to resist Cao Jun head-on now, do you believe it?" ”
"I think the lord is right!"
Zhao Yun suddenly opened his mouth and said, "When we attacked Xu Du, although I didn't see who the person who attacked me was, I knew that Xu Chang was not the one who had the ability to kill me in seconds. Even now that I think about it, I have lingering palpitations! ”
"What? How is this possible? Xiang Yu was suddenly shocked, and he didn't believe anything!
Just kidding, now Zhao Yun's force is 999, which is the existence that many generals in the world look up to, and if he can kill it in seconds, what kind of strength must it be!
"Yes, and there is more than one!"
Cheng Fang finally spoke again, he looked at Xiang Yu seriously and said: "For example, I don't know if it's the Demon King, or the Demon King's clone Lu Pheasant, and the Yu Ji who has tormented you for hundreds of years, and the mysterious mastermind behind the scenes!" ”
