The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

In fact, His Majesty the Emperor has been very kind to me, and it can even be said that he has been very kind to me.

He was also determined to serve His Majesty even to the death.

But he saw the fierce bombardment of Daqian and the countless soldiers and civilians who died tragically.

When you see their blood and flesh flying everywhere and their grief everywhere.

Julius changed his mind and decided to give up resistance and surrender.

"Well, surrender is the wise choice to avoid so many innocent people from dying."

Huo Qubing nodded, then asked people to carry away the Persian emperor's body.

"Since you are willing to surrender, are you willing to join the army? From now on, you will be my deputy general."

Huo Qubing then looked at Julius and said

"Thank you, General. I am willing to do so."

Julius bowed in gratitude.

"Okay, then you will follow me from now on."

"Come here, quickly clean up the battlefield, collect the prisoners, and order the artillery to immediately move all the naval guns back."

"Yes, General."

After receiving the order, the soldiers quickly got busy, and some of them entered the south city to clean up the battlefield.

Some of them transported the naval guns and shells back to the warships.

More than 500 naval guns were dismantled with great effort, but it only took one day to transport them back to the warship.

It's such a hassle.

But the effect was good. The remaining defenders surrendered and the Persian emperor died.

"Your Majesty, the defenders of the southern city have surrendered, and the Persian emperor was killed by his generals."

Soon, Huo Qubing came to the ship and personally reported the good news to Ning Quan.

"Oh? So fast!"

Ning Quan showed a hint of surprise, thinking that it would cost some money to get it.

Unexpectedly, the defenders surrendered so quickly, and the Persian emperor also died, which saved a lot of trouble.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to lead the troops into battle."

Huo Qubing asked for a fight.

"Well, then you should take your cavalry with you. This will make it much quicker to conquer all of Persia."

"I won't assign you any specific tasks, so you can do whatever you want."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty!"

Huo Qubing excitedly accepted the order and prepared to lead his troops to battle.

He loves fighting and feels uncomfortable without fighting.

"Your Majesty, Persia is now practically under our control. Your Majesty's grand cause is finally complete!"

At this time, Li Wanyue came out and congratulated with a smile.

"Yes, it's finally completed. All the hard work I've endured during this period is worth it."

"But the great cause has not yet been fully accomplished. My territory still lacks Europe and Africa."

Ning Quan sighed.

"Your Majesty, do you still want to continue the war?"

"Oh, so I mean, Your Majesty is about to send troops to Europe?"

Li Wanyue said worriedly.

"No, not right away."

"After years of fighting, the soldiers are exhausted and the treasury is empty. It is no longer suitable to fight. We need to rest and recuperate for a while."

"Besides, the land we just conquered is not stable. Rebellious forces have emerged in various parts of the Arab, Mughal, and Indochina Peninsula. If we don't suppress them, it will be inappropriate."

"Simply addressing the rebel forces is only a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution. The key is to win the hearts and minds of the people, which requires work from all aspects."

"Therefore, I have decided to rest and recuperate for a while, and resolve these problems before sending out the troops."

Ning Quan said slowly.

"Your Majesty is wise, and I admire you."

Hearing this, Li Wanyue suddenly understood and praised.

"Hahaha, Queen, you are too kind."

Ning Quan laughed out loud.

"You've worked hard following me over the past few years."

Then he looked at Li Wanyue and said with some emotion.

Li Wanyue married him despite her father's opposition.

And gave him great help in his later development,

This friendship is truly rare and worth remembering.

"I am not tired. As long as I can stay by your side, even if it means sacrificing my life, I will do it."

Hearing Ning Quan's words, Li Wanyue blushed slightly.

"Fool, don't talk nonsense, how could you lose your life?"

"You and I are one, husband and wife, sharing our lives together. Whoever dares to hurt you will be the first one I will not forgive!"

Ning Quan tapped her head gently.

"His Majesty…"

Hearing Ning Quan's words, Li Wanyue felt a warm feeling in her heart.

..........

The next morning.

Ning Quan summoned Zhou Yu and formally appointed him as the Governor-General of Persia, in charge of all military and political affairs in Persia.

Persia is located at the junction of Asia and Europe, bordering the Black Sea to the north, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Aegean Sea to the west. It borders Greece and Bulgaria.

The geographical location is extremely important and it is the best strategic base for attacking Europe in the future.

Therefore, Ning Quan attached great importance to Persia.

That's why it was decided to appoint Zhou Yu as the Governor of Persia.

Zhou Yu is a man of both civil and military talents, with outstanding abilities, capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities.

"Your Majesty, I thank you!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely fulfill your mission.

Zhou Yu knelt down and said.

"Well, the officials stationed in the country will be here soon."

"I will also leave you two thousand system officials to assist you in governing Persia."

"You must develop well and restore people's livelihood as soon as possible. If there are rebels causing trouble, they must be immediately eliminated and no leniency will be shown."

"I will later order General Yue Fei to garrison Persia. You can leave military matters to General Yue."

Ning Quan instructed.

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

Zhou Yu said firmly.

"Okay, I've explained everything clearly. I'll be returning to Daqian tomorrow, so just do your job well."

Ning Quan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I will respectfully send your Majesty off!"

Zhou Yu bowed.

……

The next day, Ning Quan took Li Wanyue and others back in a flying car.

Because the distance was too far, it took Ning Quan two days to return to the capital.

It was already midnight when I came back.

But Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen and other ministers were still waiting anxiously outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, and all the ladies."

As soon as Ning Quan landed, everyone came forward to greet him.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up.

"Your Majesty, you are finally back."

Zhuge Liang spoke.

"Hahaha, if we take over Persia, I will be back."

"After returning this time, I will not be going on another expedition in the short term. I need to rest and recuperate for a while."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that His Majesty would continue to march to Europe.

"Okay, I'm back safely, you can rest assured."

"It's so late, my dear ministers, please go back and rest. We will discuss this matter tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"

Everyone responded and retreated.

Then Ning Quan took Li Wanyue and others back to the harem.

He first went to see the children, and seeing that they were sleeping soundly, Ning Quan felt relieved and then went back to the bedroom to rest.

............

The next day, Ning Quan attended the morning court.

He never liked attending morning court sessions, but after being away from the capital for so long, he had to show up when he returned to reassure his ministers.

After a few brief words, Ning Quan announced that he would leave the court.

Then he called Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, Jia Xu and others to the imperial study.
