At the critical moment, Suo Chao rushed to the battlefield and activated his unparalleled skills:

"Unparalleled! Sword Domain! Dimensional Space!"

Familiar scene, familiar formula, Maodun Chanyu was exiled to D. Captive World by Suo Chao's Wushuang.

"Generals! We have the advantage! Let's charge the enemy together!" Suo Chao's voice was filled with confidence and encouragement. He leaned forward slightly, his spear pointed at the enemy formation, as if leading everyone to charge.

When the Xiongnu soldiers saw that the Chanyu's body was gone, they panicked and fled in panic. Four generals, Ran Min, Dou Xian, Zheng Hewen, and Liu Dao, led the Han army to attack.

Wang Jie's army had already circled around to the rear of the Xiongnu army. Seeing the retreating Xiongnu army, they also launched an attack tacitly.

Attacking from both sides, the two Han armies completely routed the Xiongnu army. In this battle, they killed over 3 enemies and captured over Xiongnu cavalry. The crisis in Beidi County was resolved.

On the battlefield, filled with smoke and corpses, Ran Min stood there, holding a double-edged spear, his eyes revealing a determined light.

"General Ran Min, long time no see! You have worked hard in this battle." Suo Chao's voice rang out on the battlefield, and he could hear it before he arrived.

When Ran Min heard Suo Chao's voice, he was delighted. He turned around and saw Suo Chao riding a brown warhorse and galloping towards him.

"General Zhengbei! You came just in time!" Ran Min said with a smile.

"This must be General Dou Xian, right? You are my idol!" Suo Chao looked at Dou Xian, his eyes flashing with excitement, as if he had seen his hero.

"Oh? Young General, you know me?" Dou Xian asked in surprise.

Suo Chao has always admired Dou Xian, especially Dou Xian's brilliant record of Yanran Legong, which made him admire him even more.

"Of course! Carving the inscription on the Yanran Stone, drinking from the vast sea, and sealing the Wolf's Lair, these are all the feats I have always dreamed of!" Suo Chao said excitedly, his voice full of yearning.

"General Zhengbei is a young and promising man! It is rare to find someone with such ambition and aspirations among the younger generation!" Dou Xian looked at Suo Chao with admiration, and his heart was full of expectations for this young general.

"General Dou, I wonder what your plans are next?" Suo Chao asked.

"Send troops to attack the Southern Xiongnu royal court! Completely eliminate the Xiongnu threat." Dou Xian said firmly.

"General, you are so brave! I wonder what General Ran Min thinks?" Suo Chao asked.

"I agree with General Dou Xian's battle plan." Ran Min said.

Ran Min and Dou Xian, with Zheng Hewen as their military advisor, led 3 elite troops to attack the royal court of the Southern Xiongnu.

Suo Chao ordered Liu Dao and Wang Jie to take charge of receiving 3 captives. He then dispatched the newly captured captives to Mo Nan Commandery to plant potatoes. He then dispatched them with his divine speed to Wuwei.

Wuwei County.

Chen Tang, in coordination with Yan Yan's army, defeated Haolian Bobo's 2 Xiongnu cavalry. Haolian Bobo fled back to the Southern Xiongnu royal court with the remnants of his army.

Suo Chao discovered Haolian Bobo's whereabouts and launched a surprise attack, severely injuring Haolian Bobo. He once again used his unparalleled skills to capture Haolian Bobo.

"When the work is done, leave without a trace, and don't leave the "stealer" behind!"

Suo Chao was well aware of Lao Liu's tactics. This time, he not only captured Haolian Bobo but also surrendered 5000 Xiongnu soldiers. He activated his Wushuang and transported them to the D. Captive World.

After the matter was settled, Suo Chao activated his supernatural powers and rushed northwest to the Southern Xiongnu royal court, trying to capture the Xiongnu royal court as soon as possible.

......

Xiliang.

Following Huangfu Song's orders, Chen Tang and Yan Yan once again sent troops to Zhangye County. Wuwei County, after several days of preparation, soon dispatched 2 troops to Zhangye County.

Zhizhi Chanyu, who was entrenched in the Zhangye and Jiuquan areas, commanded 5 Xiongnu soldiers and was a formidable force. Dong Zhuo underestimated the enemy and suffered numerous casualties.

Emperor Ling of Han held Huangfu Song accountable and dismissed him from his post. The court appointed Minister of Works Zhang Wen as his successor and appointed him General of Chariots and Cavalry.

At this time, Sun Jian resolved the rebellion in Qu Xing of Changsha and was named "Marquis of Wucheng".

With two marquises from the same clan, the Sun family's power grew immensely. General He Jin, dissatisfied with Suo Chao's dominance, sought to fabricate a charge of ineffectiveness against the Sun family. However, Sun Jian and Suo Chao fought so valiantly that he could find no excuse to attack.

Luoyang Imperial City, inside Deyang Palace.

Emperor Ling of Han was sitting on the dragon throne, listening to the report from General He Jin, a man of strong build and resolute features, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Your Majesty! Sikong Zhang Wen has already gone to Xiliang, but he has no capable generals under his command." He Jin bowed slightly, with a hint of worry in his tone.

Emperor Ling of Han frowned, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"I wonder who the general is going to be?"

A hint of pride flashed in He Jin's eyes. He took a step forward and said loudly:

"Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, is a skilled warrior and can accompany the Minister of Works to quell the rebellion."

Emperor Ling of Han nodded, seeming to be very satisfied with the proposal. He thought of Sun Jian's heroic performance on the battlefield, and a trace of admiration welled up in his heart.

"Well! Sun Wentai is brave and good at fighting, this is confirmed!" said Emperor Ling of Han.

He Jin was secretly delighted; his plan had finally succeeded. He knew Sun Jian was a capable general, but since he was Suo Chao's adoptive father, he couldn't blame him. This time, he could have Sun Jian accompany Minister of Works Zhang Wen to quell the rebellion, and then find a way to set a trap for Sun Jian. Big things could happen.

"Is there anything else to do today? If not, then stop here." Emperor Ling of Han said a little tiredly.

He Jin quickly bowed and withdrew, secretly pleased with himself. He knew that this time he had successfully caused trouble for Sun Jian, and now he would just have to wait and see Sun Jian make a fool of himself.

"Your Majesty! There are hundreds of rebellions of all sizes across the country, and the court has no troops to send!" Liu Yan stood up and said anxiously.

Zhang Jiao had disappeared, but the Black Mountain bandits, led by Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan, the Taishan bandits, led by Zang Ba, and the southern bandits, led by Sun Xia and Ying Bu, were countless. Meanwhile, there was also a separatist regime led by Zhang Lu. The court's suppression of the rebellion was only a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution. Unable to survive, the people rebelled.

Emperor Ling of Han sat on the dragon throne, frowning as he listened to Liu Yan's report, feeling very worried. He raised his head, looked at Liu Yan, then at the other ministers, and asked:

"Oh? What advice does the Grand Master have?"

Liu Yan took a step forward, bowed and said:

"I suggest establishing provincial governors. The court should appoint relatives of the Han dynasty and important officials as provincial governors to oversee the suppression of rebellions in a province."

Emperor Ling of Han was a little hesitant after hearing Liu Yan's suggestion. He looked at the other ministers and asked:

"My Lords, what are your opinions?"

The ministers listened to Liu Yan's suggestion and were secretly delighted. They were all relatives and important officials. Only a fool would oppose such a good thing as delegating real power. So the matter was settled. So, the ministers echoed Liu Yan's suggestion and expressed their support for the establishment of provincial governors.

Emperor Ling of Han was a little hesitant when he saw that all his ministers supported the establishment of provincial governors. He thought about it and felt that the establishment of provincial governors was also a good idea, so he said:

"Very well, then I will do as you have requested. I order my father to draft the appointment document."

"Appoint Liu Yu as the governor of Youzhou!"

"Appoint Ding Yuan as the governor of Bingzhou!"

"Appoint Liu Dai as the governor of Yanzhou!"

"Appoint Tao Qian as the governor of Xuzhou!"

"Appoint Liu Biao as the governor of Jingzhou!"

"Appoint Liu Yan as governor of Yizhou!"

......

Among the thirteen provinces in the world, the appointments for the remaining provinces are as follows: Geng Bi is the governor of Liangzhou, Huang Wan is the governor of Silizhou, Shi Xie is the governor of Jiaozhou, Liu Yao is the governor of Yangzhou, Kong Ji is the governor of Yuzhou, and Han Fu is the governor of Jizhou.

This move had both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it strengthened central power and rectified local government; on the other hand, the excessive power of provincial governors easily led to corruption and, in later periods, the formation of warlordism.
