Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

February 194 AD.

As history continued to unfold, wars raged across the country. Cao Cao's power grew stronger, and his army expanded, posing a significant threat to surrounding areas.

Cao Cao launched several attacks, aiming directly at Xuzhou. Facing Cao Cao's aggression, Tao Qian felt deeply resentful and helpless.

Tao Qian devised a plan and dispatched Captain Zhang Kai with 200 elite cavalrymen to Taishan Commandery. Their mission was to kill Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, and pin the blame on Yuan Shu.

However, this conspiracy did not escape Cao Cao's eyes. Cao Cao quickly saw through Tao Qian's trick, but he decided to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Xuzhou again in the name of avenging his father.

Cao Cao held high the banner of revenge for his father, his eyes wide with anger, wielding his sword as he led his army towards Xuzhou with the momentum of a surging tide. He led the troops, riding on a tall warhorse, which neighed as if it could sense its master's anger.

Cao's soldiers were all excited and in high spirits. They gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes filled with determination for revenge, and vowed to seek justice for their lord. Each of them was dressed in plain linen clothes.

"Tao Qian is a dog thief. I cannot forgive the murder of my father for what he did to me." Cao Cao cursed angrily as he set up camp outside the city of Xuzhou.

Facing the ferocious army of Cao Cao, Tao Qian frowned, paced back and forth in the mansion, rubbing his hands constantly, and fell into deep trouble.

"What should we do?" Tao Qian asked anxiously.

Tao Qian killed Tao Qian, originally intending to put the blame on Yuan Shu to divert Cao Cao's attention, but he did not expect that this backfired and instead aroused Cao Cao's wrath. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan and hurriedly sought help everywhere.

Chen Deng and his son recommended Liu Xuande as a strong reinforcement. Liu Bei and his four brothers were well-known at Hulao Pass, and now that they were in Xuzhou, Tao Qian agreed without hesitation.

Finally, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Wei Yu came with 3000 soldiers and horses to help. When Tao Qian saw them, he felt like he had found a lifeline. Tears of gratitude flashed in his eyes. He quickly stepped forward, shook Liu Bei's hand tightly and said:

"Xuan De is so righteous! He saved me from the danger."

"Brother Gongzu, you are too kind. Cao Cao is using the emperor to command the princes, and we are ashamed of that." Liu Bei said, his eyes firm and calm, his expression revealing his dissatisfaction with Cao Cao's behavior.

On the battlefield, the four Taoyuan brothers fought bravely and with unparalleled strength. Cao Cao's army clung to the battle, unable to break through. He gazed upon the situation, his face grim and filled with anxiety. The campaign against Xuzhou had reached a stalemate.

Tao Qian felt that his time was running out. He lay on his sickbed, his face pale and breathing weakly. He looked at Liu Bei, his eyes full of earnestness and hope, and said slowly:

"Lord Xuande, please accept this seal of Xuzhou!" Tao Qian handed the seal to Liu Bei.

"My lord, please don't do this. I really can't accept it." Liu Bei quickly declined.

"Lord Xuande, I am old and weak, and it is difficult for me to govern Xuzhou. Your benevolence is known throughout the world, and you are a relative of the Han Dynasty. If you take over Xuzhou, you will definitely be able to maintain peace in the area. Please don't refuse, Lord Xuande!" Tao Qian said earnestly.

"Your Excellency is so kind, but I really cannot obey your command." Liu Bei still refused firmly.

At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also advised: "Brother, since Envoy Tao trusts you so much, please accept it!"

But Liu Bei still shook his head, indicating that he could not accept it.

Seeing this, Tao Qian sighed and said:

"In that case, I won't force it. I just hope Lord Xuande can agree to one thing for me."

"Please speak, sir," asked Liu Bei.

"Cao Cao is now powerful and Xuzhou is in danger. I would like to ask Lord Xuande and my three brothers to stay here and help me repel Cao." Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei and said.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "If that's the case, I agree to your request. We will do our utmost to protect the people of Xuzhou."

So, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun decided to stay in Xuzhou and fight against Cao's army together.

......

After Suo Chao ended the war in the west, he did not stop, but chose to continue recuperating, farming and raising troops.

The Chen family tirelessly promoted soil reclamation projects in Northwest China. They toiled daily in the fields, personally directing the labor, their focused devotion seeming to engrave every inch of the land within their hearts. Ultimately, they achieved unprecedented success. The miraculous application of this technology gradually transformed once barren, lifeless wasteland into fertile farmland brimming with hope.

Over the past two years, Chen Huan and Mi Hua have mastered the complete art of water control. They often close their eyes in meditation, feeling the power of nature with their hearts. Whenever faced with drought and lack of rain in the northwest, they step forward. Chen Huan dances with her hands, chanting something, and magical rays of light flash out.

"Husband, is my water control spell okay?" Chen Huan ran to Suo Chao happily, with a proud smile on her face and her bright eyes full of anticipation.

Suo Chao smiled, patted Chen Huan's shoulder gently and said:

"Yes, Huan'er's magic has reached perfection. Controlling the rain in an entire county is no problem at all."

"Husband, where is mine?" Mi Hua asked impatiently, pulling Suo Chao's sleeves with both hands, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

"Hua'er is also very good. He has mastered the water control technique to perfection." Suo Chao replied gently.

Suo Chao was filled with joy, his face beaming with smiles. The fact that both his wives were pregnant filled him with happiness and anticipation. Furthermore, they could share his worries, which made Suo Chao even more pleased.

With a single stroke of his hand, Suo Chao prioritized rewards for relocating people of all ethnic groups to the newly reclaimed lands of the northwest. This move not only accelerated immigration but also greatly prospered the northwestern counties. The people rejoiced, and the northwest flourished.
