Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Guo Jia frowned tightly, his expression solemn, and said in a serious and anxious tone:

"My lord, Yanzhou is our base, and we must not lose it!" He said as he pointed at the map of Yanzhou.

"If we continue to attack Xuzhou, Yanzhou will be in extreme danger. Yanzhou has few soldiers and generals, and we don't know if Xiahou Dun in Puyang can arrive in time," Guo Jia continued. Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, revealing his inner anxiety.

Cao Cao's face shifted after hearing this, and he felt conflicted. He knew the importance of Yanzhou, and while he looked towards Xuzhou, he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to attack it. He paced back and forth, his hands sometimes clenched and sometimes unclenched.

"Lu Bu is such a hateful guy. He ruined my plan to attack Xu. Was this Gongtai's idea behind this?" Cao Cao said angrily, with a feeling of resentment surging in his heart.

Cao Cao inspected the military's food and fodder camps and discovered that the rations were insufficient. After months of fighting, the army was at its wit's end. He finally realized the severity of the situation and had to cut the Gordian knot.

"In two days, the army will return to Yanzhou." Cao Cao sighed deeply, his eyes immediately became firm, and he gave the order loudly.

......

Monan County.

Suo Chao's face was filled with joy. After hurriedly bidding farewell to the Emperor, he rode back to the Imperial Master's Residence, formerly known as the Zhengbei Prince's Residence. Thinking of his two wives giving birth to a pair of children, his heart was filled with joy, and he couldn't wait to see them.

As soon as I entered the mansion, Zhang Meiniang came to greet me.

"Brother, you are finally back." Zhang Mei Niang's face was full of smiles and her eyes were full of joy.

Suo Chao pulled the reins, dismounted, and said in surprise:

"Oh, Mei Niang, aren't you leading the army in Mobei County?"

Zhang Mei Niang stepped forward, took Suo Chao's arm and said:

"There's no war in Mobei anymore. I'm so bored, I want to come back and see my nephews and nieces."

"No joking in the military, let's forget about this time," Suo Chao said sternly. Generals Dou Xian and Geng Bi in the north were under immense pressure, mustering 20 troops to guard against an attack from the Western Region coalition.

The population of Suo Chao's jurisdiction over the Seven Provinces has surpassed 2000 million, with women, children, and the elderly comprising 800% of the population, and 10 million adult males remaining. Using the Han Dynasty's 80-for-60 conscription system, Suo Chao can maintain a military force of 50 (excluding the self-sufficient forces of World D). Currently, the number of troops deployed by the various counties has reached , and the number stationed on the border has reached .

If Suo Chao hadn't been cultivating the land and training the troops year-round, improving food production, and developing technology, maintaining such a large army would have been a waste of money and manpower. This was also why he wanted to develop gunpowder and firearms. To conquer the heavens, advanced weapons were essential.

Suo Chao walked quickly into the inner courtyard. At this time, Yan Zhang also hurried over, bowed and said:

"Your Highness, you are back. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person." Daya and Erya beside them also bowed respectfully.

Suo Chao smiled and waved his hand, saying kindly:

"Brother Yan, no need to be so polite. These are your two daughters, very nice. I'm going to see my wife now, let's talk another day." As he spoke, his eyes flashed with eagerness and expectation, and he walked hurriedly towards the bedroom, as if there was a wind under his feet.

Walking into the room, Suo Chao immediately saw Chen Huan and Mi Hua sitting by the bed. He walked quickly to the bed, his eyes full of tenderness and affection, and said softly:

"Huan'er, Hua'er, I'm back." His gaze moved back and forth between the two ladies, his eyes filled with affection and love.

Chen Huan looked at Suo Chao tenderly. In her arms was a newborn baby, who was sleeping peacefully. Suo Chao carefully reached out his hand and gently stroked the child's cheek, feeling an indescribable sense of happiness.

Mi Hua, with a smile on her face, gently coaxed another child beside her, a lovely little girl. Her eyes would often fall on Suo Chao, eyes full of love.

Suo Chao sat by the bed and chatted with the two ladies about their experiences during this period, and also asked about the children's situation.

"Huan'er, Hua'er, you have worked hard." Suo Chao held Chen Huan and Mi Hua's hands tightly, his eyes full of gratitude.

"For the sake of my husband's great cause, this is what I should do." Chen Huan said with a smile.

At this moment, the little girl in Mi Hua's arms suddenly pouted and burst into tears, her voice loud and urgent.

Suo Chao's face was filled with tension and concern. He carefully took the child, his movements as gentle as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world. He gently rocked his arms and hummed a gentle lullaby in a low and soothing voice, "Baby, good boy, baby, sleep..."

The little girl gradually stopped crying in Suo Chao's arms. She blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Suo Chao curiously. Her eyes were as pure as clear lake water.

Suo Chao's heart was moved, and his eyes revealed endless love and tenderness. He wished the child a peaceful and tranquil life, so he named the child "An Ning".

The boy was named Suo Tian and the girl was named Suo Ning. Suo Chao activated his Wushuang and brought his wife, children, and maid to World A. He immediately rushed to Yanmen County to reunite with his first wife Yan Xiang.

In this world, the area of ​​​​a hundred miles has expanded to a thousand miles. Here, with abundant spiritual energy and a pleasant climate, it is an ideal place for cultivation and life. Suo Chao activated his unparalleled power and added various pavilions, towers, flowers, birds, insects and fish.

The buildings were small and unique. The courtyard outside was filled with a variety of medicinal herbs and crops, which were full of spiritual energy. Their medicinal effects and nutritional value were far superior to those outside.

In the spacious and bright room, six people sat together. Suo Chao sat in the middle, looking at his wife and children with gentle eyes, his face filled with a smile as warm as the spring sun, that smile seemed to melt all sorrow.

Yan Xiang, Chen Huan and Mi Hua sat around him, their faces also full of happiness, their eyes full of longing for the future, that longing was like bright stars, shining brightly.

The whole room was filled with warmth and joy. Warm sunlight streamed through the windows onto the ground, creating patches of golden light. His wife's laughter was as clear as a silver bell, echoing in the air. At this moment, Suo Chao looked at Yan Xiang, a glint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. He smiled and said,

"Xiang'er, let me see how good your martial arts are."

Yan Xiang nodded slightly, stood up, clasped her hands together, and said with a confident look on her face:

"Yes, my lord, please teach me."

Suo Chao used his nine unique spear moves, each of which contained endless murderous intent and power. Like a meteor across the sky, it went straight towards Yan Xiang with a sharp light and astonishing speed.

Facing this terrifying attack, Yan Xiang swung her sword faster and faster, her sword power becoming more and more fierce, but it was still difficult to completely resist Suo Chao's attack. She could only rely on her flexible body movements and sharp reflexes to narrowly avoid Suo Chao's attacks time and time again.

In the extreme battle, Yan Xiang's sword intent finally broke through to the state of great perfection, awakening her god-level unparalleled skill "Shadow Sword Domain".
