Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

On the vast northern grasslands, the wind was howling and the flags were fluttering.

The Xiongnu army of 150,000 surged like a tide, divided into four groups, and their momentum was fierce. The brave Chanyu Maodun, riding on a tall warhorse, was followed by a black mass of 40,000 troops.

Maodun Chanyu's 50,000-man army marched straight towards Beidi County, the sound of horse hooves echoing through the sky and stirring up clouds of dust. Ran Min, the prefect of Beidi County, was on high alert.

On the other side, Liu Yuan also led an army of 50,000 elite soldiers, heading straight for Mo'nan County. His eyes were firm and sharp, as if he wanted to devour everything.

Helian Bobo led an army of 20,000 and rushed towards Wuwei County like a whirlwind. He had a cold look on his face and exuded a chilling aura.

Chanyu Zhizhi led an army of 30,000 and attacked Zhangye County like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey. Their wolf-like and tiger-like appearance was terrifying. At the same time, in the land of Xiliang, the Xiongnu allied with Qiang leaders Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, taking advantage of the chaotic situation and launching a rebellion in Xiliang.

"Leader, the assassination attempt on the Qiang Protector has failed," a Qiang soldier knelt on one knee and reported to the leader. His face was filled with fear and guilt, and sweat dripped from his forehead.

Beigong Boyu frowned, a trace of disappointment and anger flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth:

"You're useless! You can't even do such a small thing!"

"Bian Zhang's plan to lure Han Sui into surrender has also failed. The enemy seems to be prepared." Another soldier said in a low voice with his head down.

Beigong Boyu's expression turned even uglier, his eyes filled with doubt and uneasiness. He turned and looked into the distance, secretly thinking about his next plan of action.

"It's okay. With the help of 30,000 Xiongnu troops, our army is even more powerful." Li Wenhou came over, patted Beigong Boyu on the shoulder, and comforted him. He showed a confident smile on his face, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.

Beigong Boyu felt a little relieved after hearing Li Wenhou's words. He nodded and said:

"Yes, you are right. With the help of the Hun army, we will definitely succeed."

The cunning Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou had glints of cunning and greed in their eyes. They commanded their troops to pounce on the Han city like hungry wolves.

"Warriors! Conquer Xiliang as soon as possible!"

......

The 150,000-strong Xianbei army also launched a fatal attack on the border counties of the Han Dynasty.

In this tense situation, Suo Chao, with his prophetic insight, promptly alerted Leng Zheng, the Protector of the Qiang. Upon hearing the news of the rebellion, Leng Zheng felt a wave of fear, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. He secretly thanked Suo Chao's early warning, which had allowed him to narrowly escape disaster.

Leng Zheng acted quickly. He summoned Han Sui and Bian Zhang and said seriously:

"The situation is critical now. We must unite and resist the enemy together!" Han Sui and Bian Zhang looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes. They responded in unison:

"I am willing to obey the captain's orders!"

However, facing the double attack from Xiongnu Chanyu Zhizhi and Beigong Boyu, the military strength of Xiliang seemed so disproportionate that they knew it would be a difficult battle.

The atmosphere in the Jiade Hall in Luoyang is solemn and dignified.

Zhu Jun walked forward respectfully, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud voice:

"Your Majesty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the south has been pacified, and I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission." His face was filled with pride and joy, as if this victory was the most shining moment in his life.

Afterwards, Huangfu Song also stepped forward steadily, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the north has been pacified, and Youzhou has been recovered. This old minister has come here to report." His expression was calm and resolute, and his eyes revealed his loyalty to the country and the emperor.

"My two beloved ministers, thank you for your hard work and great achievements." Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, sat on the dragon throne, nodded slightly, a gratified smile on his face. His voice was steady and powerful, echoing throughout the hall.

"Appoint Huangfu Song as the Left General of Cavalry!" Liu Hong's voice rang out like a loud bell, and everyone listened respectfully.

"Appoint Zhu Jun as the Right General of Chariots and Cavalry!" Liu Hong announced, and cheers suddenly rang out in the Jiade Hall.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song shouted in unison, their eyes flashing with excitement and their hearts filled with gratitude to the emperor.

The other generals also received different rewards.

"Appoint Lü Bu as Marquis of Jiuyuan Pavilion."

"Appoint Suo Chao as Marquis of Xinting"

"Appoint Liu Yu as the Governor of Youzhou."

"Appoint Gongsun Zan as the governor of Beiping."

"Appoint Liu Bei as the lieutenant of Anxi County."

"Appoint Wei Qing as the governor of Xuantu County."

"Appoint Taishi Ci as the Governor of Yunzhong County"

……

At this moment, a soldier hurried into the hall, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly:

"Report!" Everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"A rebellion broke out in Xiliang, and Zhangye and Jiuquan counties fell!" The soldier's voice was filled with anxiety and tension.

"The Qiang, Xianbei and Xiongnu armies are rushing to attack the north. The military situation is extremely urgent." The soldier's forehead was covered with sweat and his eyes revealed anxiety.

"Report! Changsha is in rebellion, and Qu Xing has gathered more than 10,000 people." This sudden news plunged the entire Jiade Hall into silence.

Liu Hong's face turned serious, his brows furrowed tightly, and his heart was filled with worry and trouble. He muttered to himself:

"The frequent riots in Dahan are really a headache." He rubbed his temples, trying to relieve his fatigue and stress.

"General, what do you think?" Liu Hong looked at General Yang Ci, his eyes full of anticipation.

Taiwei Yang Ci pondered for a moment, then said:

"Your Majesty, the north is in danger. You can order Taishi Ci and Gongsun Zan to rescue. The General who Conquers the North has already rushed to Mo Nan County, and there should be no major problems in You and Bing states." His voice was steady and powerful as he analyzed the current situation.

"As for the rebellion in Xiliang and the Xiongnu invading the border, we can order the veteran general Huangfu Song to lead the troops to suppress them."

During this period, Dong Zhuo traveled around everywhere. With his tact and tactics, he successfully gained the upper hand over Empress Dowager Dong, Zhang Rang and General He Jin.

At this time, General He Jin saw that the time was right, and he decisively suggested:

"Dong Zhuo is also a good talent. He can fight in this battle with General Huangfu." General He Jin had a hint of pride on his face. He felt that his recommendation would definitely be approved by the emperor.

Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, also accepted Dong Zhuo's generous gift. Since someone recommended Dong Zhuo, he nodded and said:

"Alright then! Appoint Dong Zhuo as General of the Central Army and have him accompany Huangfu Song to recapture Xiliang, resolve the Qiang rebellion, and drive out the Xiongnu army."

"Your Majesty, I also have someone who recommended someone to help with the Changsha rebellion," Zhu Jun suddenly said.

"Oh? I wonder who the Right General of Cavalry wants to recommend?" Liu Hong asked curiously.

"Sun Jian, the magistrate of Xia Pi County, is brave in battle and capable of taking on important tasks. I suggest that he lead the army to suppress the Qu Xing rebellion in Changsha." Zhu Jun's voice was firm and powerful.

"Okay, appoint Sun Jian as the governor of Changsha and order him to wipe out the rebels." Liu Hong said without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, Wancheng prefect Qin Jie killed the Yellow Turban leader Han Zhong. The Yellow Turban soldiers were in panic and recommended Sun Xia as their leader again to rebel and leave Wancheng." A minister reported.

"Oh! Order Qin Jie to attack the remnants of the Yellow Turbans." Liu Hong waved his hand, feeling helpless.

Liu Hong looked at the chaotic situation in front of him, his heart filled with helplessness and exhaustion. He felt like a captain trying to steer the ship in a storm, trying desperately to keep the huge ship moving forward steadily.

"Alas! The Eastern Han Dynasty is in ruins. It has to be patched here and there. When will this miserable life end?" Liu Hong smiled bitterly.

Among these rebellious leaders, Zhang Lu of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect was the luckiest. After joining forces with Zhang Xiu to capture Hanzhong, Zhang Lu enacted numerous policies that benefited the common people, earning them widespread support. Leveraging the strategic location and natural resources, he repelled repeated imperial encirclements and suppressions. Emperor Ling of Han, overwhelmed by the situation, prioritized suppressing the most active rebels.

Outside Luoyang City, the sky was gloomy and thick with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing a greater storm was about to arrive. A strong wind blew, shaking the trees and rustling the leaves. In this bleak environment, everyone felt an invisible pressure and urgency.
