Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

As his territory continued to expand, Suo Chao divided the Western Regions' Chief Secretary's Office into the Western Province, and established the Dayuan, Wusun, Yuezhi, Qiemo, Shanshan, and Cheshi Commanderies. He also relocated one million Han Chinese to settle in the six counties of the Western Province.

The arrival of these Han people not only enriched the population of Xizhou, but also brought advanced production technology and cultural knowledge to this land.

Dou Xian stood proudly atop the city wall of Xizhou, surveying the vast expanse of land. His resolute gaze revealed both majesty and confidence. Appointed as governor of Xizhou, he toiled day and night, meticulously governing the region. Now, under his rule, Xizhou prospers, its people live and work in peace, and its streets bustle with activity.

"General Dou, Xizhou has been stabilized. I wonder what we should do next?" Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, hurried over with an anxious and expectant look on his face, and bowed as he spoke.

Dou Xian turned around, walked towards Geng Bi with a smile, reached out to help him up, and said, "Mr. Liangzhou, you have worked hard these years." Dou Xian's eyes were full of gratitude and respect for Geng Bi.

Dou Xian then said slowly with a serious expression and a deep gaze into the distance:

"Our two states must strengthen military and trade cooperation and not disappoint the National Master's expectations."

The two of them understood each other tacitly, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding. Together, they worked towards the great cause of unifying the world. As for whether the world belonged to the Liu family or the Imperial Master, they didn't care.

......

After Suo Chao's army annihilated the Qiang people, the Qiang territory was designated Qiang Prefecture, which was divided into five counties: East Qiang Commandery, West Qiang Commandery, South Qiang Commandery, North Qiang Commandery, and Central Qiang Commandery. Over the course of two years, one million Han Chinese moved into Qiang Prefecture.

Veteran General Huangfu Song was appointed Governor of Qiang Prefecture, while General Zhu Jun was transferred to become the Governor of Xiongnu County. Despite their advanced age, Suo Chao's medical expertise gave their careers a second lease on life.

Over the years, the two generals had grown disillusioned with the Han dynasty's situation, their stagnation and unhappiness leading to illness. While conquering vast territories, Suo Chao discovered a shortage of skilled personnel, and without any available talent, he recalled the two veteran generals. He ordered his deputy, Qi Chao, to fetch the two generals and cure their illnesses.

Everything is fate. If Suo Chao had delayed for a few more years, he might not have seen the two old generals again. In history, both Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun passed away in the next year.

Suo Chao settled the two old generals and continued to deal with the aftermath of the Qiang invasion. In order to strengthen his rule over the Qiang region, he dispersed the indigenous Qiang people to other states to weaken their ethnic power.

At the same time, Suo Chao required the Qiang indigenous people to learn Han culture and language in order to better integrate into the Han social system. This policy applied equally to all ethnic minorities.

Although this practice has caused dissatisfaction among some Qiang people, in the long run it will help promote ethnic integration and cultural exchange.

Now that the situation in Qiangzhou has stabilized, it's time to leave. Suo Chao already controls six states, and his power is unprecedented.

"Old General, I'll leave Qiangzhou to you." Suo Chao turned around and looked at Huangfu Song with a firm and sincere gaze. He held the old general's arm tightly with both hands and gave him instructions.

"Bo Yi, I didn't expect you to still remember an old man like me. I will definitely govern Qiangzhou well," Huangfu Song promised. His eyes gleamed with excitement, and his weathered face was filled with determination and loyalty.

Suo Chao's powerful rise attracted the close attention of the princes and the countries in the Western Regions, and also made them fearful. He supported the crown prince Liu Bian and seized the righteousness of the world.

Over the years, Suo Chao inflicted heavy losses on the Xianbei, annihilated the Xiongnu, and annihilated the Qiang. His expansionist ambitions became clear, prompting the states of the Western Regions and other vassal states to unite and resist his ambitions.

Among them, Kangju, Dayuan and Wusun formed an offensive and defensive alliance. They sought military assistance from the Kushan Empire and obtained 100,000 elite Kushan soldiers.

The various princes of the Han Dynasty, such as Liu Yan, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, formed an anti-Suo alliance to jointly deal with the threat posed by Suo Chao.

As a result, the pressure on Suo Chao suddenly increased, but he did not back down. Instead, he relied on his wisdom and courage to resolutely face and solve one difficult problem after another.

"Alas! One small move can affect the entire body." Suo Chao looked at the map carefully and sighed helplessly.

Faced with pressure from the Western Regions and other vassal states, Suo Chao was forced to maintain a low profile and temporarily abandon his plans for expansion. He used diplomatic means to strengthen ties with the Western Regions and promised not to invade them.

At the same time, Suo Chao also began to make friends with the various princes, stating that he would not take advantage of the situation to rob and invade their territories.

Both civil and martial arts plays had to be sung. Suo Chao wrote a letter, ordering Dou Xian to recruit 10 soldiers in Xizhou and Geng Bi to recruit 10 soldiers in Liangzhou, and to station heavy troops on the border of Xizhou.

As for Qiangzhou and Xiongnu County, Suo Chao handed over the defense to two veteran generals, asking them to do their best and develop armaments while cultivating the land.

Suo Chao returned to Monan County and re-planned the development plan for the Six Provinces. He'd been too high-profile in recent years, feeling like everyone was against him. However, the Sword Domain's dimensional space had also expanded from a 50-meter radius to a 200-meter radius, so he needed time to process the results of his recent battle.
