Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

In January 185 AD, during this cold and windy season.

After a painful and difficult decision, Suo Chao finally decided to marry Princess Tianxiang Yanxiang.

Suo Chao's expression was solemn, and he seemed to be feeling a bit helpless. Meanwhile, Zhang Fei was fortunate enough to become Princess Qingyu's consort. Emperor Ling of Han soon announced the joyous news to the world, and for a moment, the entire country was immersed in an atmosphere of universal celebration.

Emperor Ling of Han also issued a decree, ordering the two princes-in-law to wait until they were 20 years old before officially marrying the princess. Two princess residences were established in Luoyang: Princess Tianxiang's Residence and Princess Qingyu's Residence.

Upon hearing the news, Yan Yu cried all day. Her beautiful face was covered with tears, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. Princess Tianxiang wanted to comfort her sister, but she couldn't find a suitable excuse. She was filled with anxiety and helplessness.

In three years, Yan Yu would be getting married. Whenever she thought of this, she felt a wave of melancholy in her heart.

When General He Jin and his sister He Ling learned that their plan had succeeded, a smug smile finally appeared on He Jin's originally tense face, and the big stone in his heart finally fell slowly.

"Brother! That's great! We have cut off Queen Song's left and right arms!" He Ling said excitedly.

"Yes! It's really not easy! Next, I plan to set a trap for Sun Jian and gradually disintegrate Suo Chao's support." He Jin's eyes were gloomy, with a calculating light flashing in them.

"Yes! Bian'er's future depends entirely on brother." He Ling looked at He Jin with anticipation.

"Brother, I heard that Prince Consort Zhang is extremely brave. Can we win him over?" asked Concubine He.

"Well! This is difficult. But if this marriage fails, then there will be a great opportunity!" He Jin showed a sinister smile.

"Haha! Let's act according to the camera!" The two of them gestured.

The He Jin brothers and sister devised a plan to trap Sun Jian. The war in Xiliang was not going well.

Zhang Wen dispatched Zhou Shen with 30,000 men to pursue Bian Zhang and Han Sui. Sun Jian offered a plan to cut off their supply lines. Zhou Shen ignored his advice and surrounded Yuzhong City. Bian Zhang and Han Sui, however, divided their forces and stationed them at Kuiyuan Gorge, effectively cutting off the government troops' supply routes. Panic-stricken, Zhou Shen abandoned his baggage and withdrew.

Zhang Wen then sent Dong Zhuo with 30,000 men to attack the Xianrong tribe of the Qiang people. The Qiang and Hu people surrounded Dong Zhuo's army north of Wangyuan. Dong Zhuo's face was gloomy, and he was filled with anxiety.

"The army is short of food. What should we do?" he thought to himself.

Then Dong Zhuo came up with a plan. He shouted:

"All soldiers, listen up! Build dikes and dams at the river crossing point and pretend to catch fish to satisfy our hunger!" After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately took action and began to build dikes and dams in full swing.

Under the cover of the dike, Dong Zhuo led his army in a quiet retreat. His eyes revealed a hint of cunning and caution, and he kept a close eye on the surroundings, fearing that their actions would be discovered by the enemy.

When the Qiang and Hu tribes learned that Dong Zhuo was planning to flee, they began to pursue him. However, Dong Zhuo had already ordered his soldiers to breach the dikes and dams to delay the enemy's pursuit. Dong Zhuo then successfully returned to his army and stationed in Fufeng.

Upon learning that the campaign in Western Liang was not progressing smoothly, Emperor Ling of Han issued a new edict to Zhang Wen, ordering him and Dong Zhuo to end the campaign in Liang Province as soon as possible and completely quell the rebellion in Western Liang. Meanwhile, He Jin sent his trusted aides to instruct Dong Zhuo to create more obstacles for Sun Jian.

......

Within the secluded palace, Emperor Ling's health deteriorated, like a candle in the wind, ready to go out at any moment. His once healthy frame was now increasingly thin, his complexion growing paler.

In his dimly lit chambers, Emperor Ling of Han often dreamed of the ghost of his uncle, Liu Kui, the King of Bohai. The spirit seemed to approach him with endless resentment and anger, demanding his punishment. Whenever he woke from such dreams, Emperor Ling would break out in a cold sweat, his heart filled with fear and uneasiness.

"What should I do?" Emperor Ling of Han said to himself anxiously.

His furrowed brow revealed his inner panic. So he hurriedly summoned the sorcerer to the palace and asked anxiously:

"I often dream of my uncle's ghost. What should I do?"

After some calculations, the Taoist priest replied:

"Your Majesty, you must treat Liu Kui's relatives well." Emperor Ling of Han was slightly stunned after hearing this, but he has never been against the theory of ghosts and gods.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Hong gritted his teeth and made up his mind to issue an edict to pardon those relatives of the King of Bohai who were implicated. When the edict was issued, Emperor Ling of Han seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face relaxed a little.

Suo Chao knew his elder sister was not in a good mood, but he had no other choice. This was the marriage arranged by Emperor Ling of Han himself, and it was difficult to disobey the imperial order.

Suo Chao could only find ways to send some delicious food to his two sisters. It is said that delicious food can heal a person's mood.

That day, the sun shone softly across the earth. Suo Chao, as agreed, made his way to the Cao family residence. Even before he entered, he could sense the warm atmosphere. The Cao family had gone above and beyond to lavishly entertain General Suo Chao, the Northern Expeditionary General. The entire residence was festooned with lights and a festive atmosphere, and a grand family banquet had been specially organized to welcome him.

Old man Cao Song sat in the first seat with a vigorous look, his cousins ​​Cao Ren and Cao Chun stood on both sides, and Cao Cao's three wives, the dignified and quiet Ding, the graceful and elegant Bian, and the gentle and lovely Liu, all attended in their best attire.

"Brother Boyi, I'm so happy that you can come!" Cao Cao came out barefoot with a look of joy on his face. His sincere smile and eager steps, regardless of whether they were completely sincere or not, really brought the atmosphere to a climax.

"Brother Meng De! You are so hospitable!"

Suo Chao watched all this, his heart warming slightly, and a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, but in his heart he was secretly targeting Boss Cao's fourth wife. To ease the embarrassment, he quickly offered to treat the Cao family members.

"I am Boyi, meeting Mr. Cao!" Suo Chao bowed respectfully, bowing slightly with a solemn and awed look on his face.

"Very good! Young people should move around more. Young general is young and promising. Please take care of Meng Deha when you have the chance." Cao Song smiled and looked at Suo Chao lovingly, his eyes full of admiration.

Suo Chao gave a helpless smile and immediately began to treat the patient. His medical skills were truly exceptional, and many high-ranking officials and nobles sought his help. However, due to Suo Chao's special status, many people did not dare to disturb his life.

Suo Chao concentrated his mind and gathered his energy, deftly performing the 36 Heavenly Gang Soul-Returning Needles. His fingers danced like nimble butterflies, precisely touching the acupuncture points. In a short while, he cured Mrs. Liu's cold and weakness, and Mrs. Ding's infertility. He then carefully prescribed several Chinese herbal remedies for the Cao clan members.

"Mrs. Ding, your health is cured. As long as you follow this prescription and take more care of yourself, you will give birth to a baby boy next year!" Suo Chao said confidently.

"Really? Thank you, General." Mrs. Ding expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

For a moment, both the host and the guests were happy, and the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant. After Suo Chao finished his work, he said goodbye to the Cao family, slowly walked out of the mansion, and then walked back to the Song Mansion with firm steps.

At this time, the transmission to the Zhuolu battlefield was about to begin. He looked serious and began to prepare seriously, with firmness and determination in his eyes.
