Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World
Chapter 111: Sweeping the Huns
While war raged in the north, a rare grand event took place in the imperial city of Luoyang. Emperor Ling of Han held a grand ceremony to recruit husbands for the two princesses.
Anyone between the ages of 15 and 40 met the age requirement for a son-in-law. Upon hearing the news, the sons of the aristocracy and wealthy families across the country eagerly flocked to the event. The people of Luoyang, hearing of the excitement to behold, were also filled with anticipation.
"Sister, will my third brother come?" Yan Xiang asked.
"My third brother is fighting in the north, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to come." Yan Yu replied.
"Sister, it's useless even if my third brother comes. He is only 14 years old and does not meet the selection criteria." Yan Xiang said with a pout.
"If you count your age, it's already there." Yan Yu said with a smile.
"Yes! With my third brother's ability, these five competitions are a piece of cake." Yan Xiang is full of confidence in her younger brother.
"Sister, do you want to marry my third brother so much?" Yan Yu joked.
"Sister, you are making fun of me again! I will ignore you." Yan Xiang blushed and said coquettishly.
The two of them looked up and gazed to the north, feeling secretly sad. Perhaps Suo Chao only regarded them as relatives.
The competition for choosing a son-in-law was divided into five categories: martial arts, literature, medicine, fame, and wealth. The leaders were Wang Yue, Cai Yong, Zhang Ji, Xu Shao, and Liu Hong.
The top three from the five matches will advance to the finals. However, there is also a chance to be guaranteed a spot in the finals. Interested students can directly enter the finals if they are willing to spend 200 gold.
There were many children who did this, including Yuan Gonglu from the Yuan family, He Miao, the brother of the general, Song Qi, the brother of Empress Song, and the children of important officials and relatives of the Han Dynasty.
The finalists can choose one of five duels and challenge the two princesses. The winner will be named the champion. If the champion successfully defends the title for a month, he or she will be chosen as the princess's consort.
Suo Chao knew nothing about what was happening in Luoyang. On his way, he saved the seriously injured Maodun Chanyu and Haolian Bobo.
"Modun Chanyu, can we talk?" Suo Chao asked tentatively.
"Thank you, General, for saving my life. What do you want to talk to me about?" Maodun Chanyu asked in confusion.
"Do you see this world? I hope you can join us." Suo Chao said sincerely.
"General Zhengbei has great tactics! I am not as good as him!" said Maodun Chanyu dejectedly.
These days, Maodun Chanyu was astonished by this world. With the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke also submitting to Suo Chao, he felt it wouldn't be too embarrassing for him to surrender. After much deliberation, he finally decided to join Suo Chao's camp. Haolian Bobo and Liu Yuan also had no objections.
With the help of Chanyu Maodun, Suo Chao quickly found the Xiongnu royal court. He used the art of supernatural speed to sneak into the Xiongnu royal court.
Suo Chao planned to join forces with General Ran Min to attack the Southern Xiongnu from both inside and outside in an effort to wipe out the Southern Xiongnu in one fell swoop.
This northern nomadic people had deep ties with the Central Plains dynasties. The Xiongnu repeatedly invaded the Qin and Han dynasties. While their aggression was disgraceful, it was also driven by survival. The vast, sparsely populated north, with a harsh climate, was not conducive to crop growth. The Xiongnu tribes often faced food shortages. They could only survive the winter by raiding southward.
Years of intermarriage allowed the Xiongnu to gradually embrace Han culture. The Xiongnu also valued talented individuals, such as Li Ling, Zhang Qian, and Su Wu. For talented individuals willing to surrender, the Xiongnu offered them princesses and money. For those unwilling to surrender, the Xiongnu would do their utmost to persuade them to surrender, and would not easily kill them.
With the cooperation of Maodun Chanyu, Suo Chao peacefully took over the city's defenses and also controlled many Xiongnu nobles and ministers.
Suo Chao relayed his plan to the Han army arriving outside the city. Generals Ran Min and Dou Xian, upon learning of the Xiongnu court's news, wrote back to Suo Chao, deciding to launch an attack in the early morning hours of the following day.
As night fell, Suo Chao and Ran Min led their troops into the Xiongnu royal court. With a Chanyu as their internal support, their plan went smoothly.
Although Suo Chao and Maodun Chanyu controlled most of the princes and nobles, some escaped and, unwilling to accept defeat, launched a fierce attack on the Han army.
Suddenly, a burst of shouting and killing sounded, and the Huns came charging in. They had noticed the movements of the Han army.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and flames shot up into the sky.
Suo Chao led the charge, brandishing his spear and charging at the enemy. His bravery intimidated the Xiongnu and boosted the morale of his own soldiers.
Under the leadership of Suo Chao and Ran Min, the Han army captured the Xiongnu royal court and the Southern Xiongnu surrendered.
As for the exiled Chanyu Zhizhi, his 5 main Xiongnu forces had become isolated and were about to face the crisis of destruction.
Zhangye County.
Chen Tang's 2-man army, along with Sun Jian under Zhang Wen, launched an attack on Zhizhi Chanyu's army. Sun Jian was a brave and capable warrior, easily defeating the enemy and breaking through their formation.
Chen Tang was also a renowned general. He killed Chanyu Zhizhi and routed 5 Xiongnu. This battle was a resounding victory for the Han army, and the last remaining main force of the Southern Xiongnu was annihilated.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have completed the mission to destroy the Xiongnu: unlock the portal to the heavens.]
[First stop: Go to the battlefield of the "Battle of Zhuolu" to rescue Chiyou. Preparation period is one month. Please be prepared.]
"Hmm! I can now meet the ancient sages. This system is awesome."
[Host, please work hard to improve your strength! The protagonists of each plane are very powerful. ]
"I understand!" Suo Chao nodded helplessly.
......
The territory of Mo Nan County could continue to expand northward. Having triumphed over the Xiongnu and Xianbei, the Han army no longer had any formidable enemies in Mo Bei. As for Murong Chui, who lived in Liaodong, he was now powerless.
"Mr. Zheng, the resettlement of the Xiongnu people is now in your hands."
"I will obey your orders!"
Suo Chao proposed to gradually relocate the Xianbei and Xiongnu people to Mo Nan Commandery, and Generals Dou Xian and Ran Min also agreed.
The Xiongnu who learned that Maodun Chanyu was still alive were all transported by Suo Chao to the D. Captive World. Zheng Hewen stayed behind and worked with the two generals to handle the surrender of the Xiongnu people.
After Suo Chao gave Zheng Hewen the task, he took a short rest and then set off on his return journey with the good news of victory.
On his way back north, Suo Chao heard the news that his two sisters were openly seeking husbands. He was extremely anxious and used his supernatural powers to travel all the way back to Luoyang City.
When Suo Chao arrived at the city gate, he found the city bustling with activity. It turned out that the princess's husband-hunting ceremony had entered the defending stage.
Cao Cao is the champion of the literary arena, and no one can compete with him.
Mi Zhu is the champion of wealth.
Zhang Fei is the champion of the martial arts competition, and he is accompanied by his elder brother Liu Bei.
Yuan Shao was a champion. With three generations of officials, he was terrifying.
Suo Chao had no choice but to spend 200 gold and advance directly to the finals. He qualified for a one-on-one duel with the champion. But he still had plenty of time. He had other plans for today.
Suo Chao rushed to the palace without stopping and reported to Liu Hong on the campaign. He had annihilated the Xiongnu and crushed the Xianbei. Emperor Ling of Han was delighted and generously rewarded him.
"Appoint Suo Chao as the Marquis of Xinxiang!"
"Appoint Ran Min as Marquis of Xinting!"
"Appoint Dou Xian as Marquis of Poxiong County!"
"Appoint Chen Tang as Marquis of Po Xiong Xiang!"
"Appoint Zheng Hewen as General Po Lu!"
After thanking the emperor, Suo Chao left the palace in a happy mood. He walked briskly through the busy streets and bustling crowds, and finally returned to the father-in-law's residence.
