In the north.

Only in the north.

In Ling Tian's time, there was a person on the Internet who was called an angry youth who made a very correct statement. What prevented the ancestors from expanding their territories was not alien races, but nature.

The Han people expanded toward the south, reaching the seaside. The Han people had no interest in water. Then they went east, to the seaside, then north, all the way to the desert, and then west, to the uninhabited plateau.

The Han people glanced around. They don't want water. They can't grow food. They don't want it on the plateau. They can't grow food. They don't want it in the desert...

Therefore, China is only Kyushu.

If the seven continents had not been separated at the beginning, perhaps Kyushu would not be called Kyushu, but should be called Zhongzhou, because the Han people would turn all cultivated land within sight into Han soil.

Luoyang, Ling Tian's residence, Ling Tian, ​​Lu Bu, Sun Jian, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and others were lying on the huge map searching.

"We can only expand in this direction..."

Jia Xu slapped the area of ​​the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions hard.

Xi Zhicai glanced at the area on the map that was slapped by Jia Xu, and then nodded indifferently.

Ling Tian's expression remained unchanged, while Lu Bu's expression showed excitement.

Only Sun Jian looked at the map and sighed.

Everyone here knows what Jia Xu said. Only there can expand. It does not mean that Ling Tian can only send forces that can beat there, but because only there can continue to provide supplies for the forces sent by Ling Tian and others.

.

Naturally, this supply cannot be given voluntarily.

Of course, Sun Jian's sigh was not out of pity. After a lifetime of fighting, it was strange that Sun Jian still understood pity.

Sun Jian sighed because he had nothing to do with this expedition.

"I want to form a cavalry. I must form a cavalry. Don't object. Whoever objects to me will be in trouble..."

Sun Jian sighed and looked fiercely at Ling Tian and Lu Bu.

"I have no objection. There are tens of thousands of horses at the racecourse outside the city. If they are not enough, they can be sent from the Hetao. The foreigners who want to come there don't dare not to send them. Well, I can help you on the way to the grassland.

Urgent…”

"I don't have any objection. Anyway, I want to go to the grassland and have some fun. You can train the cavalry. Once you train it, it can add some deterrence to Luoyang..."

Ling Tian and Lu Bu responded calmly, and Sun Jian became even more depressed after listening to their words.

These two bastards, I wonder why he formed a cavalry, actually attacked him.

Set off to the grasslands, beyond the Great Wall.

Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was scolded by countless literati from the north and was even infamy for thousands of years, you can go out and ask which general would not want to copy the miracles of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

Don't talk about military generals, just ask, which civil servant doesn't want to learn one or two classes, cast his pen and join the army, and ride thirty-six horses chasing death and chasing north across the grassland, how majestic it is.

Anyone who dares to offend the might of the Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away he is. How heroic is Chen Tang?

"I'm going to drink. I'm afraid if I stay any longer, I won't be able to help but challenge you two bastards..."

Sun Jian roared angrily, turned around and strode outside.

In response to Sun Jian, Ling Tian and Lu Bu laughed.

Putting aside all the speculations in history, these three people are actually all truly forthright men. Ling Tian has no system or anything in this world, so he naturally has no worries.

As for Lu Bu, who was able to gather so many rangers in the North who were willing to die with him, it would be a joke to say that Lu Bu was a domestic slave with three surnames from the beginning and was narrow-minded.

As for Sun Jian, if Sun Wentai had not been bold, he would not have been swayed by Yuan Shu in his original trajectory.

During this time together, Ling Tian, ​​Lu Bu, Sun Jian, and even all the generals under their command became friends.

They have similar personalities. Even excluding the top Lu Bu, Ling Tian, ​​Sun Jian, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, etc., the rest of the generals have roughly the same strength. In this case, it is easy to form friendship.

After deciding on the strategy, Ling Tian and others immediately began to prepare for the war and decide who should stay behind.

Sun Jian's men must definitely stay, after all, they are all infantry.

In addition, Ling Tian and Lu Bu also had to leave some people behind. Luoyang was a central place after all, and it was impossible for them to really leave no cavalry behind.

However, Ling Tian and others did not expect that before they left, Luoyang soon welcomed an acquaintance in Ling Tian's memory again.

Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan...

Ling Tian took Xi Zhicai to receive Pang Shiyuan, and then Pang Shiyuan told him about the Kyushu Formation. The rest of the matter became simple, and Xi Zhicai slowly told them their plan to solve the matter.

That plan immediately shocked Pang Shiyuan.

The plan to expand the territory and seize control of the Kyushu Formation is not complicated or difficult.

However, Xi Zhicai jumped out of the limitations of repairs and the like as soon as he started thinking about the problem. This is a sign of long-term vision.

For this alone, Xi Zhicai's strategic vision is astonishing.

"I would like to follow the general and do something great..."

After Pang Tong finished chatting with Ling Tian and Xi Zhicai, he suddenly stood up and saluted Ling Tian.

Now Pang Tong does not have the reputation of Fengchu. Although his studies are basically completed, Mr. Shui Jing has not yet built momentum for his disciple. Naturally, Pang Tong does not have any arrogance.

Therefore, Pang Tong was still worried about whether he would be accepted when he took the initiative to seek refuge.

"In three days, I will accompany General Sun on his northern expedition. If Shi Yuan assists General Sun in guarding Luoyang, I can be confident..."

Xi Zhicai looked at Pang Tong and smiled slowly before speaking.

He overstepped his authority and helped Ling Tian make the decision and kept Pang Tong, but he didn't care at all whether Ling Tian would be angry or not. After listening to his words, Ling Tian's expression changed slightly, but he immediately looked at him.

"How can you follow me on my northern expedition..."

Words with a hint of dissatisfaction came out of Ling Tian's mouth.

Originally, Xi Zhicai's life was short-lived in history. In the past few days, after Xi Zhicai came to seek refuge, Ling Tian also had a medical clinic help examine Xi Zhicai's body, and he even did it himself.

Xi Zhicai's health can indeed be said to be in extremely bad condition.

This situation has reached a complicated level.

When the deficit reaches the extreme, one may appear to be in high spirits. However, the more energetic one is, the more the remaining vitality of his acting ambition is burned up.

Even though Ling Tian taught him the Secret of Immortality as well as the fused World-Destroying Demonic Body and the Heaven-moving Divine Secret, Xi Zhicai was unable to stop the rapid passage of life.

Therefore, in the past few days, Ling Tian has begun to send people all over the world to look for Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.

Of these two people, the former was wandering all over the world, and the latter was originally a court official, but Ling Tian's butterfly effect made Zhang Zhongjing resign early.

The only thing Ling Tian could do was to try his best to find these two people, and then asked Xi Zhicai to stay in Luoyang and wait for the two peerless doctors to be found.

Under such circumstances, how could Ling Tian lead Xi Zhicai on his northern expedition?

"The matter in the Western Region is of great importance. Once the lord has the qualifications to replace Liu Han in controlling the Nine Provinces Formation, he needs to establish another Nine Provinces Formation as quickly as possible and extract the Jiao Qi from the destroyed land..."

Xi Zhicai looked at Ling Tian calmly and spoke.

This sentence made Ling Tian's face darken.

The method of re-establishing the Nine Provinces Formation, Ling Tian now knows only Xi Zhi, and without the support of the system, Ling Tian has no problem learning martial arts, but it is absolutely impossible to learn formations such as the Nine Provinces Formation.

Indifferently, there is nothing wrong with setting up the formation itself. After all, the Kyushu formation only covers Kyushu, and Xi Zhicai can completely wait in Xiliang.

Although Xiliang technically belongs to Dong Zhuo, Ling Tian and Lu Bu decided to sweep it away this time.

With their strength, there was no way Dong Zhuo could stop them.

However, even so, it is still impossible for Xi Zhicai to stay in Xiliang, because the dragon energy must be extracted on the spot outside Kyushu, and it must be extracted immediately after a force is destroyed.

To be honest, this Northern Expedition did not really expand the territory. The Han Dynasty was too big, and the current transportation was too inconvenient, so it was impossible to open the territory at all. Now, there are still Han Dynasties in the farthest places in the Western Regions.

The Dingbian Stone Stele was created during the Han Dynasty.

At that time, the Han Dynasty had actually conquered the area and even built a Dufufu to guard it.

However, it can only be guarded in name. There is no way. It is too far and too desolate. No one wants to go there, and it is not easy to rule.

What Ling Tian and Lu Bu have to do this time is to do what Han Wu did back then.

However, it was very helpless. At that time, Han Wu was so strong that it made people tremble. Therefore, the team sent by Han Wu had enough people who could extract Jiao Qi, and Han Wu did not even need to extract Jiao Qi.

According to unofficial historical records, the Han Dynasty took countless good things from those places, such as soul-returning incense and the like.

Now, Ling Tian and Lu Bu may not be inferior to the generals of the Han Dynasty in terms of military force, but they are far behind in terms of military and civil service.

Only Xi Zhicai can do it to extract the dragon's energy.

"Life lasts only once and for all. If you can take this journey, your drama will be remembered forever. Wouldn't it be better than being blank for a hundred years? My lord, please don't be sad..."

Xi Zhicai smiled indifferently, and then slowly raised his fist towards Ling Tian.

"If you have any other wishes, you can tell me, or tell the station directly. I think he will help you make it happen..."

Ling Tian sighed slightly.

Everyone will say that life lasts only a short time, but if you want someone to die early, see if they will fight against you. Some people will even kill the whole world just to survive for one more day.

It is precisely because life is short that life is precious.
