Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Suo Chao broke through the realm of Spear Intent and awakened his second unparalleled skill, ushering in a qualitative leap in combat power. As for the upgraded item mall and the chat function of the various forces, they can now empower military merit points and reputation points.

Suo Chao spent 600 million reputation points to raise all his attributes to 100 points. Now, his reputation points have dropped from 2200 million to 1600 million, but he still has 120 million battle merit points.

"System boss, how do we use the group chat function for all the forces in the world?" Suo Chao asked.

The system remained silent, and soon a virtual group chat interface popped up before Suo Chao's eyes. As long as he connected his consciousness, he could express his inner thoughts.

"Hello everyone, I'm Suo Chao! Please contact me if you have any questions." Suo Chao gave 10,000 combat merit points and introduced himself.

"Xiao Chao, your potato and sweet potato seeds are good. Not only did they solve the famine in the Yellow Emperor's tribe, but they also won the hearts of the other tribes." said the ancestor Yellow Emperor.

"National Master, we haven't contacted each other for a long time. Han Shizhong's army has annihilated Japan. I have appointed my eldest son, Zhao Ze, as the crown prince. Thank you, National Master, for giving us a new life." Zhao Jiumei said.

"Master Imperial Master, our Han United Empire has already occupied the Southeast Asian islands," Old Zhuge reported. Lu Xun, Jiang Wei, and others added further details on the developments on the Wo Islands.

......

Suo Chao was surprised to find himself able to chat with acquaintances from the Zhu Tian World. Chi You and his companions were also overjoyed to receive the system's accompanying subsystem. This subsystem granted them chat privileges for Battle Merit Points and trading privileges for Reputation Points.

The cross-platform chat feature in this subsystem costs a lot of Merit Points, so Suo Chao had no choice but to reply to their messages collectively. To gain more Merit Points and Reputation Points, the various factions couldn't afford to lie low. Only through constant battles could they earn a massive amount of Merit Points and Reputation Points.

.....

Suo Chao closed the cross-border chat interface and prepared to inspect the defenses of the border counties. With a month to prepare, he had to hand over the next strategic deployment and key tasks for each county.

"Sister, the military affairs of these seven states will be handed over to you and Military Advisor Jia." Suo Chao ordered.

"Don't worry, third brother. I will do my best to protect the prefecture." Yan Yu said.

Suo Chao issued a secret order to Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, and military advisor Jia Xu in Fuyu County to defend Liaozhou, reminding them to be on guard against Murong Chui's forces in Fuyu. At the same time, he also issued strict orders to Ran Min, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, and others to defend the Sizhou and Bingzhou lines to the death and not to go into battle without cause.

Suo Chao inspected the forces of Pang De and Ma Chao and found that Liu Yan of Yizhou and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong posed little threat. The main concern was to guard against the threat posed by Cao Cao's forces. As long as his army did not seek success and advance rashly, the anti-Suo alliance would be ineffective.

"General Mengqi, the defense of Sizhou and Yongzhou is now in your hands and in the hands of General Lingming." Suo Chao stood still, looked at Ma Chao with a determined gaze, and said solemnly. His face was full of expectation.

The Yongzhou at this time was different from the Yongzhou in history. It only had five counties: Beidi, Anding, Longxi, Hanyang, and Wudu. Jingzhao Yi, Youfufeng, and Zuofengyi were still under the jurisdiction of Sizhou.

"Master Imperial Master, please rest assured." Ma Chao clasped his hands together, raised his head slightly, and replied in a sonorous and powerful voice with a confident light flashing in his eyes.

"Master, I will definitely defend Wudu County." Pang De took a step forward, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said loudly.

.....

With only a few days remaining on the system's transmission timer, Suo Chao rode a swift horse, traveling day and night to the border of Xizhou. He gazed at the vast expanse of land before him, his heart filled with emotion. This place had once been the focal point of contention between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, but now it had become a battlefield between the Han army and the nations of the Western Regions.

Intelligence indicates that the Kushan Empire and the Western Regions have assembled a 250,000-man army on the border, causing considerable trouble for Generals Dou Xian and Geng Bi. While no large-scale battles have erupted between the two sides over the past few months, small-scale fighting and friction have occurred, creating a tense atmosphere along the border.

Suo Chao knew full well that this war was not merely a contest of military might, but a comprehensive exercise in politics, economics, and culture. The Kushan Empire, as a powerful nation, was entangled in complex interests and political considerations. Meanwhile, the Western Region states each had their own agenda, and their alliance was fragmented, plagued by numerous contradictions and disagreements.

In this situation, the Han army needed to have an in-depth understanding of the situation of each force, find out their weaknesses and needs, in order to formulate effective strategic strategies.

"General Dou, thank you for your hard work." Suo Chao walked forward, clasped his hands together, and said sincerely.

"Master Imperial Master, this is my duty." Dou Xian quickly knelt on one knee, bowed his head and clasped his fists in return.

The Western Regions coalition was still mainly composed of the Kushan Empire, which had sent 15 troops in total. The remaining 10 troops came from the Dayuan and Kangju Kingdoms.

The Kushan Empire was founded by the Yuezhi people. Their ruler, Kanibuda, was quite ambitious and would never sit idly by while the Han Dynasty annexed the Western Regions. Dayuan and Kangju, on the other hand, were primarily concerned with self-preservation and would not have sent troops to attack the Han Dynasty unless forced to do so.
