Nine passes.
The meeting hall.
"My lord, now that the Nine Levels Pass has been lowered, the King of Qi has lost his troops and generals, and has retreated to the pass. My Dayu's army can now face all parts of Guan Mountain."
"The grain and grass supplies will be delivered within three days. The nine princes are falling apart and will start an expedition soon."
"Lu Bu already holds great power, and the plan can be implemented at any time."
"Please give the order, my lord."
As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, two burly figures immediately came out and slightly cupped their hands: "My Lord, General Pan Feng invites you to fight!"
"Lord, Xing Daorong applies to fight!"
Guan Erye glanced sideways at the two of them and stroked his long beard. Danfeng's eyes were filled with deep disdain.
"Hey, lord, let me come in!"
"Now all the princes in the pass are running away with their heads in arms, and our soldiers are in high morale and are howling!"
"Lord, the last general invites you to fight!"
All of a sudden, Ran Min, Yang Zaixing, Xu Chu and other generals came out to ask for battle. Guo Jia smiled and said nothing. Li Ru on the side also had an interesting look in his eyes.
"My lord, since all the generals are highly motivated to fight, it is better to divide the troops and fight as usual."
"Um……"
Ning Fan's face showed a hint of contemplation. After a long time, he muttered: "Huo Qubing and Chen Qingzhi led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the white-robed army together, so they can do things cheaply."
"Qin Qiong, Ran Min, and Xu Chu lead the Xuanjia Army and the Begging Army, and Wei Wu soldiers are all on the same side, so they can do things easily."
"The rest of the generals will lead the army of King Nan Yong and push forward all the way. Within half a month, I will defeat Guanshan."
Ning Fan slowly stood up and his tone was unquestionable. All the generals looked stern and bowed their hands respectfully: "General, I obey!"
"Get ready and go out tomorrow!"
"There is no need to worry about food and grass supplies. Now Jiuchongguan Mountain has been destroyed, and the entire land within the pass is exposed to the iron hoof of our army."
"Gentlemen, I am here, waiting for your triumphant return!"
…
After handling the military affairs, Ning Fan also rode out of the customs and came to the ancient road outside Jiuchong Pass. Mu Qingcheng was wearing a plain dress, and the guards behind him were riding tall horses.
However, in this wilderness, there is no pavilion, let alone wind and moon.
The empress is returning to court.
"Your Majesty, have a safe journey!"
"I am returning to the court, not Bintian."
"Hahaha, I am rude."
Ning Fan laughed, but his eyes were directed at the group of personal guards behind Mu Qingcheng. He had never paid attention to them. Now, standing in a queue behind the empress, it actually added a bit of evil aura.
I have to say, they are also an elite team!
However, among the five Central Plains countries, they all have trump cards, such as Dali's Yuannu retinue. I wonder how elegant they are. How does it compare with Ning Fan's Liannu team?
"It seems that we need to find a way to catalyze the technology tree after we return."
"We need to increase our reputation points. As long as we have reputation points, maybe we can start an industrial revolution in the future!"
Ning Fan was absorbed in thinking about himself, but he felt that he was a little fanciful. Social change starts from all aspects, whether it is politics, economy, culture or even thought. Only after reaching a certain level can products that are ahead of the times be born.
If we forcefully advance the historical process, it will only be counterproductive!
Even if he is a time traveler, or even holds a system, he can only be a promoter of the times, and cannot directly create a new era. This is the inevitable development of things. As the saying goes, the future is bright, but the road is tortuous. , even if you are cheating, it can’t be smooth sailing!
"I'm leaving!"
Seeing that Ning Fan was still silent, the empress immediately got on her horse, gave Ning Fan a deep look, and said lightly: "Now that Huainan has formed an alliance with me, Dali, then I will attack Lingyou, and your Highness will not sit idly by." reason."
"That's natural!" Ning Fan nodded happily and said with a smile: "Thanks to your Majesty's full support for this king's southern expedition, I will take action when the time comes."
"Um!"
Mu Qingcheng nodded with satisfaction, looked towards the direction of Jiuchong Pass, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "This land of Pass Mountain has now become His Highness's possession. After I return to the court this time, I am going to attack Nanman Ancient country.”
"Use all your strength to capture the barbarian capital."
"At that time, I would also like to ask Your Highness to support us and provide some food, grass and military equipment."
"What!"
The smile on Ning Fan's face instantly faded, his brows furrowed, and he looked at Mu Qingcheng, his expression changing: "Your Majesty, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the ancient Southern Barbarian country is weak, it is by no means a big one!"
"As the saying goes, when fighting against foreigners, you must first settle down at home. Your Majesty, it is better to recover Lingyou first, and then discuss the Southern Barbarians!"
"Haha!" Mu Qingcheng continued to smile with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "How did your Highness know that I was not fully prepared?"
"Besides, although our Dali country is weak, we are still among the five Central Plains countries. We are not without any background!"
"It's just that there are some cards that I don't want to play. Now that I have made up my mind, I will never retreat."
"Whether it is external troubles or internal troubles, I will solve them one by one this time when I return to the court. It's time for me, Da Li, to learn from you, Dayu, and change accordingly."
Ning Fan was also shocked when he saw Mu Qingcheng's sudden aura of overwhelming power. Over this period of time, the empress seemed to have restrained her domineering attitude under her tactics and showed a bit of a daughterly attitude.
But now it seems that the empress is still the same empress.
"Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, you can do whatever you want."
"Well, the mountains are high and the road is far, so let's just say goodbye."
"Farewell!"
After finishing speaking, Mu Qingcheng directly raised his horse and whip, and led the cavalry to gallop away in a mighty manner.
Ning Fan stood there for a long time, with a deep look in his eyes. After a long time, he said to Dian Wei beside him: "Go back."
[Boom, release the system mission: Control Guanshan! 】
[Task requirement: Bring Guanshan under the rule of Huainan and make it completely stable]
[Task time limit: one month]
[Task reward: Free system upgrade, Mohist organ skills]
Hearing that the system that had not seen any movement for a long time suddenly released a mission, Ning Fan was stunned for a moment. He immediately opened it and checked it, signed in by the way, and then galloped all the way back.
The Empress' preparation to attack the Southern Barbarians does not seem to be empty talk, and thinking from her perspective, it does not seem to be groundless, or in other words, pretentious.
In the past few days, she always listened quietly to the information about Huainan and Dayu, and also asked Guo Jia and others about some recent changes in Dayu, which always aroused some thinking.
Especially when he heard that Ning Fan captured barbarians as slaves, his eyes almost gleamed.
"Why!"
"System, this empress's favorability score has reached over 90, why aren't she still allowed to sleep?"
"Master, are you sure you don't want to let me sleep?" The system's mechanical voice seemed to have a little more emotion, and Ning Fan even heard a bit of ridicule in it: "I have never refused, okay?"
…
