Outside the Bishui Pass, the princes of the Seventeenth Road have attacked this Xiongguan Pass again and again, but there has been no progress.

"Zhicai, now that the coalition forces are hesitating, I am worried that the more time passes, the more difficult it will be to win the matter of seeking Dong." In the camp, Cao Cao, the publisher of Dong Weiwen, was discussing countermeasures with his strategist Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai was wrapped in a robe, his face was sickly, and he said slowly: "Lord, this time to discuss Dong, even if the coalition forces can pass the Bishui Pass, it will be difficult to succeed in the end. The princes of the Seventeenth Road begged for Dong, all for a righteous name, and they didn't care whether they would succeed in the end. Yuan Shao was like this, and so were the other princes. ”

Cao Cao listened to it and sighed, he sent a text, also for the sake of fame. However, Cao Cao didn't just do it for fame. He still has a trace of expectation in his heart for this Han Empire.

But now, that expectation is about to fade away.

"Lord, just do your best to discuss the matter of Dong. Although the Bishui Pass is majestic, it can't stop the coalition forces for long. In my opinion, at most half a month, Huaxiong will not be able to stop it. As soon as the water pass is broken, Dong Zhuo is afraid that he will come out in person, and at that time, it will be the time for us to exert our strength! Xi Zhicai said.

While the two were discussing, Cao Cao suddenly noticed a figure in the tent! The figure loomed in the candlelight, frightening Cao Cao into a cold sweat.

"Who!" Cao Cao drew his sword and shouted.

The figure slowly walked out, and it turned out to be a Taoist wearing a Tai Chi robe.

"Who are you? How did you get in? Cao Cao stood next to Xi Zhicai and asked coldly. He was very loud, but the guards outside didn't seem to hear him, and he didn't move for a long time.

"You don't have to be nervous, the old way is here, there is no malice." The old Taoist priest smiled, his eyebrows were kind and very affinity, but Cao Cao was the most suspicious, how could he believe him?

"The Taoist can break through layers of guards, he must not be an ordinary person. This tent should have been blocked by the Taoist chief by some means, otherwise the guards outside would not have been silent. Xi Zhicai slowly stood up and stopped in front of Cao Cao, "There are only a handful of Taoist priests in the world who have such means, I don't know who the chief is?" ”

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Poor Dao Nanhua Old Immortal." ”

"Nanhua Old Immortal!"

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, shocked in their hearts. Ordinary people don't know Nanhua Old Immortals, but they know it very well. A few years ago, Cao Cao led troops to participate in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He heard that the three Zhang Jiao brothers of the Yellow Turban Rebellion were actually disciples of Nanhua Laoxian. However, when the three Zhang Jiao brothers died, the legendary Nanhua Old Immortal did not appear.

Cao Cao always thought that Nanhua Old Immortal was a legend, but he didn't expect him to really appear in front of him!

"Are you an old immortal in Nanhua? That Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Bao are your disciples? Xi Zhicai asked.

Nanhua Old Immortal nodded: "Yes, but they are only registered disciples." ”

"Then you also led the Yellow Turban Rebellion?" Cao Cao said with a gloomy face.

Nanhua Old Immortal smiled and nodded: "That's true." ”

"Demon Dao is dead!" Cao Cao was furious, and swung the Yitian Sword in his hand to stab at the Nanhua Old Immortal. The sword light of the Heavenly Sword flickered, but the old immortal of Nanhua stood there and did not move, allowing the sword to stab at him.

"Whew!" The long sword passed through the body of the old immortal of Nanhua, and the old immortal of Nanhua looked as usual.

Cao Cao's face changed and he put away his sword, the sword just now, he didn't feel like he was stabbed at all. Cao Cao, who knew something about Taoism, guessed that he might have fallen into illusion.

"Zhicai......" Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai, and at this time, Xi Zhicai's face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead.

Xi Zhicai shook his head at Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's heart sank.

"Dao Chief, what is the purpose of your special here?" Cao Cao put away the Heavenly Sword and asked.

Nanhua Lao Xian said with a smile: "Poor Dao went down the mountain this time, and I came to help the general dominate the world!" ”

Mark defeated Gongsun Zhan, and his power extended south again, and Liucheng and Yuyang were captured by him. Gongsun Zhan fled back to Youbeiping, immediately retracted his forces, and allowed Mark to occupy several cities.

With the extension of his power, the number of people under Mark's command increased dramatically, and under Guan Ning's auspices, more and more people began to believe in the Supreme God Cult. In a few months, the number of members of the Supreme God Cult had exceeded 200,000, and the power of faith that Mark collected every day had increased several times.

But Mark wasn't happy about that.

"Now that the population under my rule exceeds 600,000, only one-third of them have joined the Divine Cult, which is too low!"

Mark asked Zhao Rui to send people to investigate the situation of the missionary work under his rule, and his goal was to convert all the people under his rule into Christians. It didn't take long for Zhao Rui to report back to Mark.

"My lord, in Liucheng and Yuyang, the people are extremely resistant to the Divine Religion, and few people join the Divine Religion." Zhao Rui said.

Mark's face sank like water, and if these people could not provide him with the power of faith, why did he raise them?

"Have you found out why? We have just provided a batch of wood giant fruits in these two places, and I don't believe that the common people will resist me after eating my food! Mark said.

Zhao Rui said: "According to the investigation of his subordinates, the people of the two places are reluctant to join the Divine Religion because of the instigation of the clans of the two places. The subordinates investigated and learned that the clans of these two lands were dissatisfied with the lord and denounced the Divine Cult as a demon cult. The clans controlled the land and public opinion, and the people were influenced by them. ”

Mark's right hand patted the chair lightly, but there was an endless chill in the depths of his eyes.

"It seems that my methods are still too gentle. Zhao Rui, you immediately find Yingchao! ”

That night, Yingyu set out from Anping with 5,000 soldiers to Liucheng and Yuyang.

After defeating Gongsun Zhan, Mark carried out another expansion of his army, for him, there was no shortage of food and grass, as long as there were people, he could quickly build a large army. This time he recruited another 10,000 soldiers, including 5,000 cavalry, and most of the cavalry's horses came from the White Horse Volunteers.

Zhao Yun went out on the expedition and took with him 15,000 men, and Mark still had 7,000 troops in his hands. In order to clean up Liucheng and Yuyang, Mark sent most of the forces in his hands at one time, which shows his determination!

"To build faith, you can't just rely on food, you have to have swords and blood!"

The clans of Liucheng and Yuyang never thought that Mark would be so decisive! These clans originally had the intention of forcing Mark to bow his head, and they controlled the local power, even if they were as tough as Gongsun Zhan, they could only bow their heads. However, they don't know Mark, let alone what Mark wants!

Yingfu led the troops into Liucheng first, and then into Yuyang, and silently, Mark's clean-up operation has begun!

Unprepared, the clans of Liucheng and Yuyang were cleaned up by Yingfu. More than 20,000 people were killed in this cleanup!

To Mark's surprise, the effect of his bright knife this time was not good, and it even had the opposite effect.
