Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

June 188 AD, spring.

Emperor Ling of Han was plagued by illness and often dreamed of the ghost of the King of Bohai. He died of fright a little earlier than recorded in history! The entire court was in chaos. However, General He Jin, relying on his power and strategy, successfully seized control of the government.

He Jin and his sister framed Empress Song, deposed Crown Prince Liu Shi, and installed his nephew Liu Bian as the new emperor. However, Empress Dowager Dong did not support this decision, as she was determined to make her grandson, Prince Xie, the future emperor.

When Concubine He learned of Empress Dowager Dong's intentions, she was filled with anger and dissatisfaction. A fierce look suddenly flashed across her previously calm eyes, as if she had made up her mind to take action.

He Ling poisoned Empress Dowager Dong, and her own people became Empress Dowager He as she wished. Then, she turned her attention to her old enemy, Empress Song, and she wanted to completely eliminate this rival.

After Princess Qingyu saw through He Ling's scheme, she ordered her sister, Princess Tianxiang, to lead a group of secret guards to escort Empress Song and the third prince, Liu Shi, out of the capital and to Mo Nan County to hide temporarily. While Master Wang Yue left with the real prince, Liu Shi, the two of them escorted Empress Song and the prince's double, breaking out separately to distract the enemy.

However, despite their martial prowess and wit, the two princesses were ultimately outnumbered. After a fierce battle, both were captured. Princess Tianxiang and Queen Song were imprisoned in Luoyang, while Princess Qingyu was taken to the Zhang residence and forced to marry Zhang Fei.

Over the years, General He Jin had gone to great lengths to win over Liu Bei and his brothers. Wei Qing and Guan Yu were recalled from Xuantu and Lelang Commanderies, and all four brothers were entrusted with important tasks by the general.

Wei Qing disdained involvement in imperial affairs. Having lived two lives, he had become indifferent to all honor and disgrace. Under the pretext of guarding against the Xianbei, he insisted on returning alone to Xuantu Commandery to serve as the carefree governor. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei did not force their fourth brother Wei Qing to stay, hoping he would distance himself from the palace intrigues and find a way out for the future.

Suo Chao used astrology to deduce the conditions of his two sisters. He was extremely worried and hurriedly asked for the date when the system would return.

"Master System, when will I be back?" Suo Chao asked anxiously.

This mission, to rescue Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, destroy the Wa Islands, and govern the Great Wu Kingdom, took him over three years. However, the results were fruitful: the Han people on the Wa Islands enjoyed adequate food and clothing, and the shipbuilding industry experienced significant growth. Sima Shi and Zhuge Ke respectively advanced towards the Ryukyu Islands and the Southeast Asian islands. Wei Yan and Sima Zhao respectively advanced towards South Asia.

[The world changes caused by the host this time are quite big. The energy required for crossing needs to be accumulated. I hope the host can continue to wait for three days.]

Suo Chao was speechless. He would have avoided such a fuss earlier. But he couldn't let go of his hatred for Japan, nor could he let go of the opportunity he had missed in the era of maritime power. His ancestors still had a strong sense of land power; otherwise, Daxia wouldn't have had such a vast territory. Before leaving, he handed over the power of Wu to Lu Xun and his son, Zhong Hui, Jiang Wei, and Sima Yi.

The three forces check and balance each other. No matter who holds power in the end, as long as they are still Han Chinese, what Suo Chao does is meaningful.

......

Three days later, the portal's mysterious light shone forth. Suo Chao and his younger sister, eager and excited, took firm, powerful steps and swiftly passed through. The moment he set foot on the Northland, an indescribable excitement welled up in his heart. He took a deep breath, as if inhaling the breath of this long-lost world.

Beside him, Zhang Mei Niang followed closely, her face filled with joy, tears glistening in her bright eyes. One hand tightly held Suo Chao's arm. The two of them slowly walked out of the portal together.

"Brother, we are finally back!" Zhang Meiniang looked up at Suo Chao, her eyes full of ecstasy, the corners of her mouth raised high, and the cheerful tone seemed to break through the sky.

Suo Chao looked at Zhang Mei Niang, smiled dotingly, reached out and gently rubbed her head, and said:

"Yes! I have made a lot of new friends in the past three years. But this is our home." He looked around, looking at the familiar plants and trees, his heart full of emotion and warmth.

Suo Chao's eyes revealed a deep attachment to this place, accompanied by a sense of security at finally returning. The sky was a brilliant blue like a gemstone, and a gentle breeze blew by, carrying the uniquely refreshing scent of the north, as if welcoming their return.

Monan County.

General Suo Chao, once feared throughout the land and infuriated by his enemies, has been missing for years. Three years ago, the Governor of Bingzhou reported to Emperor Ling of Han, and Liu Hong appointed Yan Yan as the prefect of Mo Nan County. Fortunately, the north remained relatively peaceful, and Murong Chui's forces remained unable to cause any trouble. Chen Tang was appointed prefect of Yunzhong County, Dou Xian as prefect of Xiongnu County, and Ran Min as prefect of Beidi County, ensuring a solid defense line in the north.

Suo Chao closed his eyes briefly, then suddenly opened them, activating his unique Eye of Truth. As the light in his eyes flickered, the scene before him became crystal clear, and he finally determined that this was the territory of Mo Nan County.

After the Northern Expedition's victory, Suo Chao instructed Zheng Hewen to continue expanding the territory northward. After years of bloody battles and unremitting efforts, most of Mobei was now incorporated into the territory of Mo'nan Commandery, becoming the largest commandery of the Han Dynasty.

Suo Chao returned to the Zhengbei Palace and met with the generals. His prestige among the people and the army was still strong, and no one felt that he had left. The number of Han Chinese in Beidi County had exceeded 140 million, and when the Xiongnu and Xianbei people were included, the number had exceeded 200 million.

"After so many years of careful planning and arrangement, the time has finally come to reap the rewards! All the efforts have not been in vain!" Suo Chao clenched his hands and muttered.

Zheng Hewen, Prefect Yan Yan, and General Ran Min skillfully dealt with other factions that coveted Mo'nan County and sought a share of its pie. Ding Yuan also coveted Mo'nan County, but due to his relationship with Lü Bu, he did not go too far.

The three generals either used forceful tactics to directly refuse their requests or employed cunning tactics to force their opponents to retreat. Regardless of the pressures and challenges they faced, Mr. Zheng, Prefect Yan Yan, and General Ran Min remained steadfast in their resolve, refusing to allow any outside forces to easily encroach upon the land of Mo'nan County. It was precisely because of their steadfast protection that Mo'nan County remained peaceful and prosperous.

After Suo Chao finished his military duties and laid out a new round of development plans for Monan County, he immediately activated his supernatural powers and rushed to the imperial city of Luoyang.
