Bai Xiaowen informed everyone of Ma Chao's invasion and said, "I have never wronged Ma Chao. Since he has come to attack us, we cannot leave him alive."
After saying this, Bai Xiaowen received a prompt from the Spirit Realm Rules:
"Grand Unification Main Quest 2: Consolidate the North—triggered!" "You have obtained 30 days of Free Exploration Time. Current total Free Exploration Time: 53 days, 14 hours, 28 minutes, and 31 seconds." "Before the Free Exploration Time ends, consolidate the rear of the Yuan Clan Faction!"
Having learned from his first experience, Bai Xiaowen focused on the note that followed.
The standard for consolidating the rear was to unify northern China, with no organized resistance forces remaining within its borders.
Unlike [Grand Unification Main Quest 1], these two conditions had to be fulfilled in their entirety.
Bai Xiaowen calculated it silently.
No wonder the policies for suppressing bandits, establishing agricultural settlements, and consolidating domestic affairs had not triggered the Grand Unification Main Quest when I formulated national policy earlier. It turns out that the second Grand Unification Main Quest includes Western Liang as well!
In terms of difficulty, it was actually about the same as defeating Cao Cao. Considering that the Western Liang Army was inferior to Cao Cao in both intelligence and the strength of its generals, this second Grand Unification Main Quest was actually somewhat easier than the first.
However, for the second Grand Unification Main Quest, the Western Liang Army was only one major target, not the sole target. Bai Xiaowen still had to wipe out Zhang Yan, the horse bandits of Bingzhou, and several other bandit leaders before he could complete the quest.
Without the Western Liang Army to deal with, wiping out Zhang Yan would have been like crushing
