Cheng Yaojin opened it and saw three thousand Huiyuan Pills lying quietly in the gourd: "Mr. Wan, this?"
"Hahaha, General Cheng, I also wanted to help you unify Yongzhou, but now it seems it's not needed!"
Wan Mizhai looked at the astonished Cheng Yaojin and burst into laughter.
Indeed!
Huiyuan Pills!
Three thousand of them!
What a grand gesture! Yu Jing, kneeling on both knees, looked up slightly at the gourd containing the three thousand Huiyuan Pills, his heart almost breaking!
In this barren land, such precious pills as Huiyuan Pills were long gone. Major powers had to purchase them from the Jin Kingdom.
It was no wonder, as the lineage of alchemists had almost been broken in the Wu Kingdom!
"It's rare for the Prefect to be so understanding of the situation. Very well, then I shall accept your surrender on behalf of my lord!" Cheng Yaojin said with a solemn expression, helping Yu Jing up with both hands.
"Regarding the surrender of Yongzhou, Prefect, it is best not to let any wind leak out, and certainly not to let the news reach the current King's ears."
"The world is currently in turmoil, and in this great sifting, the strong survive and the weak perish. The overall situation is gradually becoming clear, and we should proceed steadily!"
"We must not jeopardize my lord's grand plan!"
Cheng Yaojin frowned and spoke slowly.
"General Cheng is absolutely right. I understand the gravity of the situation!"
Yu Jing was stunned, his mind racing.
"Prefect Yu Jing, by the order of my lord, if you had not come to surrender today, I fear Yongzhou Prefecture would have been engulfed in war tonight!"
Cheng Yaojin's eyes suddenly erupted with dazzling light, and a killing intent flashed.
"However, Prefect Yu Jing has ultimately not disappointed my lord. Where there is punishment, there are also rewards." Cheng Yaojin said, taking out the Shengyuan Pills.
"Does Your Excellency recognize this?"
What?
Shengyuan Pills!
How could this be?
"How can Prefect Yang...?"
The moment Yu Jing saw the Shengyuan Pills, he was utterly devastated. What were Shengyuan Pills? One pill could forge a Grandmaster!
How could Yang Hao bear to give him such precious medicine?
"General Cheng, I sincerely surrender and have no ulterior motives!"
Yu Jing suddenly knelt down with a thud, terrified that Cheng Yaojin was testing his loyalty.
"My sincerity is as clear as the heavens!"
"Prefect Yu Jing, you jest. This was my lord's instruction, ordering me, old Cheng, to deliver it to you personally. Mr. Wan can vouch for it."
Cheng Yaojin placed the pills into Yu Jing's hand.
"Rest assured, Your Excellency. As long as you serve my lord with sincerity, my lord will not treat you unfairly."
Wan Mizhai said in a deep voice.
Holding the Shengyuan Pills, Yu Jing could hardly believe it was all real.
Boom!
"Yu Jing hereby swears eternal loyalty to Prefect Yang. If I break this oath, I shall be struck by heavenly lightning and die a terrible death!"
That night, Cheng Yaojin led thirty thousand cavalry troops and galloped towards Tianmen Pass, the key fortress at the border between Yongzhou and the Langya Kingdom.
Thus, Yongzhou was completely brought under Yang Hao's control, fulfilling the original plan devised in Wu Yong's manor, and marking the beginning of the prelude to conquering the world!

...
Liangzhou Prefecture.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for unifying the four counties of Yongzhou, gaining six hundred thousand faith points." Su Dan Novel Network
The unification of Yongzhou was a good thing for Yang Hao, but also a bad thing. While unifying Yongzhou expanded his sphere of influence and gained him a large amount of faith points, the problem was that he would have to resist the attack of a nation, the Langya Kingdom, to the northwest of Yongzhou, by himself.
Alas!
Some rejoice, while others worry!
I have a system, what do I have to fear? For others, war is a drain, but for him who holds the Samsara Xuanhuang Pagoda, it is the best way to gradually become stronger.
The more he fought, the more faith points and kill points he would gain, and this was the foundation for continuously strengthening his power.
Cheng Yaojin was under immense pressure, leading thirty thousand troops alone to guard the border.
Yang Hao carefully calculated his thirty thousand faith points and pondered for a long time: "System, use three hundred thousand faith points to increase my cultivation!"
"Ding! Thirty thousand faith points deducted successfully. Congratulations to the host for advancing to Innate Layer Three!"
What?
Only two layers for three hundred thousand? You're kidding me, right!
"Ding! The higher the host's cultivation level, the more faith points are required!"
"Forget it, forget it. I'll use the remaining three hundred thousand faith points to buy Silver blind boxes."
This is vexing. It seems there is still a long way to go to become stronger, better, and bigger!
"Ding! Thirty thousand faith points deducted successfully, thirty Silver blind boxes obtained. Does the host wish to open them!"
"Open!"
Thirty of them, a thirty-consecutive draw. I should get some good stuff, right?
I've spent millions, if not tens of millions, of faith points in this blind box system.
System Father, be merciful, pity this African Emperor!
"Ding! Thirty Silver blind boxes opened successfully!"
"The host has obtained a total of twenty thousand Iron Tiles Elite Soldiers, twenty thousand Great Tang Iron Cavalry, twenty thousand Great Ming Elite Soldiers, twenty thousand Shu Han Elite Soldiers, and twenty thousand Eastern Wu Elite Soldiers, plus one chance to summon a historical figure."
"Five thousand Shu Han Elite Soldiers!"
Damn, no way! One summoning opportunity? Oh my god, System, you've finally come to your senses!
Summoning opportunities are so rare. Ever since this mode was activated, Yang Hao had prayed every time to get a summoning opportunity.
"Ding! Reminder to the host, all fifty thousand Shu Han Elite Soldiers under Liao Hua have been deployed!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for accumulating over one million in consumption, obtaining the title 'Just Beginning to Show Talent'!"
"Ding! Title successfully claimed, system soldier teleportation function activated!"
Soldier teleportation?
"Soldier teleportation, explain!"
What is this? Yang Hao frowned, looking at the four glittering words above his head: "Just Beginning to Show Talent."
"So ugly!"
The five-cent special effect instantly lowered my prestige!
"Ding! Soldier teleportation function allows summoned soldiers to be teleported to any general's side. Each use consumes ten thousand faith points, with no limit on the number of soldiers transported!"
This is great!
This saves a lot of effort. Now that the territory has expanded, and the heroes are somewhat scattered, being too far away can sometimes delay battle plans.
Now it's good, being able to instantly teleport soldiers greatly improves efficiency.
Wait...
I seem to have spent all my faith points. Damn it, System, you scammer!
