The great dream of the heavens begins with Lin Pingzhi!

Chapter 116: Jia Xu recognizes his master and recruits Lu Bu! (Daily Update 12)
Not long after, in an ordinary house.

Chu Feng led his troops to surround the place, and then led people into the mansion, where he saw a dignified middle-aged man in black clothes sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.

Chu Feng sensed a chilling aura from him, comparable to that of a ninth-level Qi Realm cultivator. He immediately realized that this person must be Jia Xu, so he clasped his fists and asked, "Excuse me, are you Jia Wenhe?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu smiled and said, "It's me, Jia. I think you must be the new Governor of Jizhou, Lord Pan! I wonder what you want from me?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Pan has roamed the world, and I believe my martial arts and military tactics are as good as any famous general in the world. The only thing I lack is a military advisor to provide advice. I wonder if Mr. Jia is willing to help?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu smiled and saluted, saying, "Xu greets my lord!"

Chu Feng was a little bit unbelievable when he heard this. For a man like him who was born a warrior, he was able to recruit a top strategist so easily. It was a bit too smooth!
However, he quickly realized that Jia Xu was still working as a minor official in the capital and was frustrated. How could he not agree if he had the support of a big shot?
In the original plot, he surrendered to Dong Zhuo and later to Cao Cao.

Chu Feng then explained the general situation of his troops and asked, "Sir, what do you think our army should do next?"

This was both a question and a test for Jia Xu, to see if he was really the top strategist he had guessed!
Upon hearing this, Jia Xu glanced at Chu Feng and said with a smile, "My lord, you seem calm and composed. I believe you have a comprehensive plan. Would you mind sharing it?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng smiled and said, "I do have a plan, but it's still a bit crude. I'll first take charge of Jizhou, train my team, and watch the wars among the heroes. Once I'm fully grown, I'll first unify the north, then take over the Central Plains, and finally cross the river and sweep south of the Yangtze River!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu smiled and said, "My lord, your plan is sound. With steady progress, you can unify the world in just twenty or thirty years! But I have a way to help you unify the world within ten years!"

Chu Feng thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Could it be that they are occupying Luoyang and using the emperor as a hostage to control the other princes?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu smiled and said, "My lord, what you said is correct. However, I call it serving the emperor to control the disobedient! I understand your concern. It's because the foundation is shallow and there is a lack of talent. If I suddenly take charge of the court, I will find it difficult to control it freely and will only add a huge burden to myself. However, there are actually a large number of talented people in this world who are frustrated and unwilling to achieve their goals. I am willing to recommend them to you, my lord!"

Chu Feng suddenly felt enlightened when he heard this. If he controlled the imperial court, would he still be afraid of not being able to recruit talented people?
As for the attack from the eighteen princes, is he afraid of that?
Chu Feng suddenly realized that he was still too cautious. Now that he was dreaming of entering the world of the heavens and his life was not in danger, it was okay to take a little risk. Even if he failed, he could only start over again!
Therefore, he asked, "Wenhe's words make sense. So what should we do next?"

"First, seize the command of the 20,000 Southern Army troops, and then seize Ding Yuan's command. Ding Yuan leads 50,000 troops, all of whom are Bingzhou border troops. They are quite elite and should not be confronted head-on. I have observed a fierce general under Ding Yuan. He is quite ambitious. If you can win him over with a high position and generous salary, it will surely work!"

Jia Xu paused before continuing, "Once we have these 70,000 troops, we can control the imperial court and quickly take over the seven Sili prefectures, thus establishing a stronghold! We can then appoint trusted confidants as governors of Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou, and with the support of our troops, we can conquer these three prefectures. By uniting these four prefectures, we will have the foundation for hegemony. Even if rebellions break out across the country, we can easily deal with them and defeat them one by one! However, our most urgent task is to reach the Southern Army's garrison as soon as possible, as Ding Yuan is likely also plotting to seize control of the Southern Army."

Chu Feng thought it was a good idea after hearing it, as it coincided with some of his ideas.

Immediately afterwards, he led his troops to the Southern Army’s base.

However, when Chu Feng's 30,000 troops arrived at the Southern Army's base, there were already two large armies confronting each other.

One was composed of more than 2 elite troops from Bingzhou led by Ding Yuan and Lu Bu.

The other large army was the Southern Army of more than 2!

The two sides are in a standoff. Although the Southern Army is not as good as the Northern Army, it is also the elite in the world, and has powerful generals to rally the military forces.

In order to avoid mutual destruction, Ding Yuan did not force his opponent to surrender directly, but tried to persuade him to surrender by using the court situation as an excuse.

I hope this Confederate general understands the bigger picture.

However, righteousness cannot satisfy one's hunger, so naturally people will listen to whoever gives them more benefits.

Persuasion to surrender was ineffective, and Lu Bu was about to take action.

Chu Feng had already led a large army to attack, and in turn surrounded the 2 Bingzhou troops! Then, he led his personal guards, forcibly split the Bingzhou army in the middle, and came in front of Ding Yuan and Lu Bu.

When Ding Yuan saw Chu Feng, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "Fengxian, capture him!"

However, Chu Feng's figure was as fast as lightning. He appeared beside Ding Yuan in an instant and took him down.

Then, he looked at Lü Bu beside him and said loudly, "General Lü, you are extremely brave, but you are not valued by Ding Yuan. If you are willing to submit to me, I will grant you a title of nobility and a general! Or, we can compete again, but this time I will not hold back!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu was silent for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Bu greets my lord!"

Chu Feng heard this and immediately smiled and said, "Having Fengxian is like adding wings to a tiger!"

As for whether Lu Bu will retaliate, just suppress him directly. Is he afraid of this?
With Ding Yuan under control and Lu Bu surrendering, the 20,000 Bingzhou troops no longer had any intention of resisting and chose to surrender.

At this time, Chu Feng summoned Zhang Liao and said to Ding Yuan, "Originally, I should have killed you to eliminate this threat. However, Wenyuan still owes you a favor for your kindness, so I will spare your life and grant you a title of nobility, allowing you to live out your days in the capital! However, to prevent you from escaping back to Bingzhou, I have no choice but to cripple your cultivation."

After he finished speaking, he immediately activated the energy-sucking technique and sucked all the Qi out of him.

At this time, Ding Yuan looked at Zhang Liao with a complicated expression and said nothing. He didn't know whether he should be grateful or angry.

Zhang Liao saluted him, then saluted Chu Feng and said, "Zhang Liao greets my lord!"

Chu Feng heard this and said with a smile: "With Wenyuan's help, great things can be expected!"

Immediately, Chu Feng handed over the 20,000 Bingzhou troops to Zhang Liao.

As for Lu Bu, he temporarily served as the commander of his personal guards and went with him to subdue the remaining 3 Bingzhou troops.

At this time, Chu Feng came to the front of the Southern Army Commander and said loudly: "Surrender to me, and you will be rewarded with high rank and generous salary. Resist and you will be killed without a complete body! It's your choice!"

The Southern Army Commander didn't hesitate at all. He immediately clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "I pay my respects to you, my lord!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng nodded with satisfaction.

However, he was still worried, so he sent his trusted soldiers to join the Southern Army and appointed Pei Yuanshao to take charge of the Southern Army.

As for the commander of the Southern Army, he served under Zhang Liao and commanded the Bingzhou Army.

Next, Chu Feng left the Southern Army behind and led more than 5 soldiers out of the city.

Soon after, the 3 elite Bingzhou troops stationed outside the city saw that Ding Yuan was imprisoned and Lu Bu and Zhang Liao surrendered to the enemy, so they gave up the idea of resistance.

At this point, the military power of the capital fell into Chu Feng's hands, and his military strength expanded to more than 120,000 people!

Not only that, Chu Feng also recruited the famous general Gao Shun!
