Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

The battle in northeastern Liaodong had just concluded, but Suo Chao hadn't slacked off. With a gleaming gaze and a determined expression, he immediately began his next strategic deployment. Standing tall and proud in the center of the tent, he waved his hand, dispatching Chen Tang to continue expanding the territory of Modong Commandery eastward. At the same time, he solemnly instructed:

"General Chen, you must be careful and cautious on this trip. Don't take it lightly."

Chen Tang stood with his fists clasped, a hint of doubt on his face, and asked:

"Master Imperial Master, is this SS-rank general really that terrifying?"

Suo Chao nodded and said solemnly:

"General Chen, Ashina She'er is a top-notch commander, and Li Cunxiao is a top-notch general. We must not underestimate the enemy."

Upon receiving the mission, Chen Tang immediately took action. He strengthened soldier training to improve the army's combat effectiveness. He also organized manpower to reclaim wasteland and develop agricultural production. He also actively built city walls along the border to strengthen defenses. The project progressed smoothly, with new achievements visible daily.

Suo Chao knew that time was running out and that he had to complete the plan of occupying the Xianbei ancestral homeland as soon as possible. To this end, he decided to recruit 100,000 troops from the D. world to strengthen Liaodong's strength.

"Military Advisor, you should change to your real name. I'm not used to it." Suo Chao stopped and looked at Jia Xu, saying with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Okay, Master Imperial Master." Jia Xu bowed slightly with a submissive look on his face.

Suo Chao turned his gaze towards General Zhao and General Taishi Ci, his expression serious, and said loudly:

"General Zhao, General Taishi Ci, these 100,000 troops are now handed over to you. The establishment of Liaozhou still depends on you and Military Advisor Jia." His eyes were full of trust and expectation, as if he had already seen the prosperous scene after the construction of Liaozhou.

"I obey your command!" the three generals responded in unison.

The construction plan for Liaozhou was very large and required the full cooperation of all parties. Suo Chao divided Liaozhou into five parts: Fuyu County, Chita County, Liaodong County, Liaoxi County, and Beier Lake County.

These areas are vast and rich in resources, but completing the eastward expansion plan is by no means a one-day or one-night job. However, Suo Chao is full of confidence, believing that as long as everyone works together, this grand goal will be achieved.

At the same time, Suo Chao also introduced a series of policies to encourage immigration and childbirth, attracting a large number of Qiang and Han people to settle down.

After arriving here, these immigrants not only received material support such as land and housing, but also had the opportunity to participate in various construction projects. They settled down and lived a happy and fulfilling life here.

"The Beier Lake and Hulun Lake are good, we can vigorously develop the fishery." Suo Chao gazed at the vast surface of Beier Lake, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart, and he murmured in a low voice.

To improve the overall combat capability of the Han army, the invention of gunpowder and firearms became urgent. While the unrivaled generals possessed incredible combat prowess, rivaling artillery and gunpowder, ordinary soldiers were unable to match this level of strength. At this time, World D still had an army of 8, a mix of Qiang, Japanese, and Han soldiers.

Suo Chao recruited another 9 Japanese soldiers, bringing the total to 9. He ordered Yuwen Tai, Shi Dakai, and Qi Chao to jointly command the troops in World D. He handed down technical blueprints for gunpowder, firearms, steelmaking, and copper smelting, and ordered the three to begin research on gunpowder, firearms, and artillery, respectively.

Suo Chao turned his gaze towards Shi Dakai, with expectation in his eyes, and asked:

"General Shi, you have awakened your memories from the future. This gunpowder should be familiar to you, right?"

Shi Dakai took the blueprint with both hands, his eyes gleaming with confidence, and straightened his chest and said:

"Don't worry, my lord! I am no stranger to gunpowder and I am confident that I can complete the task."

Suo Chao nodded slightly and continued:

"Very good! I hope you can complete the research and development work as soon as possible to make our Han army even more powerful." Yuwen Tai and Qi Chao also expressed their commitment to doing their best. Afterwards, they each got busy, starting to devote themselves to the research and development of gunpowder, firearms, and artillery.

"General, don't worry. With these drawings and raw materials, I can definitely make firearms and bombs." His face was full of determination, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he would complete the task.

Soon, the Science and Technology Department, the Ordnance Department, and the Minerals Department emerged. Suo Chao vigorously promoted education, focusing on the study of things and the pursuit of knowledge, thus reserving a large number of talents for subsequent scientific and technological development. Various new things followed one after another.

Suo Chao led an army of 30,000 soldiers back to Monan Commandery, leaving only 60,000 soldiers stationed in World D. When they arrived, Emperor Liu Bian personally led a group of ministers out of the city to greet them and warmly welcome the triumphant soldiers.

With the conclusion of the Eastern Expedition, Suo Chao's power and prestige were greatly enhanced. He became the focus of the Han people, who were filled with respect and admiration. This victory not only demonstrated Suo Chao's military prowess but also convinced countless Han citizens to consider the policy of the northern region. This transition from skepticism to conviction was a long one.

A series of policies benefiting both the people and the military, such as the Recruitment Order and the Immigration Order, gradually gained recognition among the people of the south. These policies attracted a large influx of people to the north, causing a steady decline in the population of southern prefectures and counties, leaving much land uncultivated. This phenomenon attracted widespread attention from the Han court and prompted more people to consider how to balance the development of the north and the south.

Faced with this situation, the princes of the world were very wary and had to make changes. They not only strengthened the management of household registration and strictly prohibited the people from migrating north, but also launched a series of tax cuts and people-friendly policies in an attempt to retain the population within their jurisdiction.

"Father, my eldest brother is very capable. Even many people from our Jiangdong have gone north." Sun Ce frowned, walked quickly towards Sun Jian, and said anxiously.

"We're all family. Boyi's strength is a good thing." Sun Jian smiled and waved his hand. As Jiangdong's territory expanded, Sun Ce also developed ambitions to conquer the world. His sworn brother, Suo Chao, wasn't family after all, but he couldn't say that to his face. Yue Yun was still helping them wipe out the bandits in Jiangdong.

Lu Su stroked his beard, his eyes deep, and said slowly:

"My lord, we should also follow the example of General Zhengbei and work harder for the welfare of the people. Only in this way can we retain their hearts."

Sun Jian put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, and sighed:

"Yes, Boyi has annihilated the surrounding foreign tribes, but the problem of our local Shanyue people has not been solved yet."

"My lord, Liu Biao has just got Wu Qi, and Tao Qian has got Sun Bin, so we have to be on guard." Zhou Yu saluted with a serious expression and said solemnly.

Jiangdong had just been settled, and the people were uneasy. The surrounding vassal states had received strong reinforcements, so Sun Jian attached great importance to the opinions of Zhou Yu and others, and dispatched Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to deal with the threats from Sun Bin in Xuzhou and Wu Qi in Jingzhou respectively.
