Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Chapter 196 Difficult Choices

Looking at the group of weeping women, children, and elderly people before him, Suo Chao couldn't help but frown. Their faces were filled with endless sorrow, and every tear was like a sharp knife piercing Suo Chao's heart.

On the ridges of the fields, those toiling diligently were the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled; there was not a single young, strong laborer. Before his time travel, Suo Chao had also come from the countryside, and the hardships of the busy farming season there were far less severe than during the Warring States period, when productivity was low.

If Suo Chao was willing to help, most people would be able to find their lost loved ones, but this idea was quickly dispelled by reality. Changing the course of history is not easy and requires a lot of time and effort.

"To help or not to help? This is a difficult decision!" Suo Chao muttered to himself.

Now, what Suo Chao lacked most was time. However, facing these innocent people, how could he remain indifferent? Humans are not plants or trees, so how could they be heartless?

If the seven kingdoms could be persuaded to unite and jointly capture the surrounding wild islands, and then be promised huge rewards, perhaps this would help to alleviate the tensions of the Warring States period? But achieving this goal is far from easy! Shang Yang's reforms were successful but he failed, Wu Qi's reforms also failed, and Su Qin, once the prime minister of the six kingdoms, also did not have a good end.

The Warring States Period was an arena of intrigue and deception. The seven countries had grudges and hatreds, conflicts of interest, and ulterior motives towards each other. It was almost an impossible task to unite them.

After the Battle of Changping, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, under the instigation of Fan Ju, repeatedly rejected Bai Qi's requests to attack Handan. Bai Qi, unwilling to accept the missed opportunity to capture Handan, had long been planning this battle. Upon learning that Fan Ju had sowed discord between them, he grew resentful.

This situation of discord among important officials in the court was not unique to Qin. Kings and ministers in various countries harbored ulterior motives or engaged in open and covert struggles. The story of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru was short-lived; otherwise, Wu Qi and Lian Po would not have fled to other countries.

Suo Chao fell into deep thought, pondering how to solve this problem. He realized that he could not solve all the problems by his own strength alone, and he had to find a way to coordinate the interests of all countries and break the existing deadlock.

"Well! In troubled times, severe punishments are needed, and it will take a strong medicine to eliminate the chaos of the Warring States period." Suo Chao seemed to be thinking about something, secretly made up his mind, and pondered.

Suo Chao activated the Sword Domain Teleportation, sending his three wives back to World D. and assigning them corresponding tasks. The three female directors of the Science and Technology Department, the Medical Department, and the Mineral Resources Department officially took office, while Yuwen Tai was transferred to the Director of the Ordnance Department.

The Medical Department was newly established, and Mi Hua was in charge. General Qi Chao assisted him with a serious expression. Yuwen Tai frowned slightly. He wanted to focus on gunpowder and firearms work, and was relieved of military duties.

"Madam, these 100,000 elite soldiers are now handed over to you." Suo Chao held Yan Xiang's hands tightly with both hands, his eyes full of trust and expectation, and said solemnly.

Yan Xiang straightened her back, met Suo Chao's gaze, and said with a firm look:

"Don't worry, my husband. I will definitely fulfill my mission."

"Hua'er, the job of treating the wounded will be handed over to you from now on." Suo Chao looked at Mi Hua with some concern in his eyes.

Mi Hua nodded slightly and said seriously:

"Husband, Huaer understands." Her eyes revealed confidence and determination. She thought to herself that she must do this job well and live up to her husband's expectations.

The three ladies' medical skills were exceptional, and it would be much easier to treat the wounded and prisoners in the B. medical world in the future. Suo Chao saw Yuwen Tai frowning beside him and understood his thoughts.

"General Yuwen, you are a talented general and you will have many opportunities to lead troops in the future." Suo Chao walked forward, patted Yuwen Tai on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

When Yuwen Tai heard that there was still an opportunity to lead the troops, his originally dim eyes instantly brightened up, a smile bloomed on his face, and he quickly saluted and said excitedly:

"Thank you, General, for your support." A fire seemed to be burning in his heart, filled with anticipation and fighting spirit.

......

After the meticulous treatment of Suo Chao and his team, the 43 severely wounded soldiers in Medical World B have all recovered and returned to camp. Currently, the number of Qin and Zhao captives in World D has exceeded . are Qin captives, and the rest are Zhao surrenders.

Suo Chao's eyes were determined as he ordered Zhao Kuo to count the soldiers whose families had only one son. Zhao Kuo did not dare to slack off in the slightest. After a careful check, he reported:

"The Zhao army has as many as 18 soldiers, and the Qin army has as many as 2." In this battle, both Qin and Zhao spent all their wealth. Suo Chao couldn't help but sigh.

After careful consideration, Suo Chao ordered Zhao Kuo to form an army of 6 men, consisting of 2 Zhao troops, 2 Qin troops, and 2 Xianbei troops, in preparation for the eastern expedition to the Japanese islands. Zhao Kuo took the order and set off in a hurry.

Suo Chao followed suit, quietly infiltrating the capitals of Qin, Zhao, Wei, Chu, and Qi like a ghost. Over the course of several months, he kidnapped the kings of each of the five kingdoms. The world was stunned and incredulous when they heard about this.

"Have you heard? The King of Qin, the King of Zhao, the King of Wei, the King of Chu, and the King of Qi have disappeared one after another, and now the King of Han and the King of Yan are also trembling with fear!" A big man with a long beard frowned, stroking his beard, and said.

"Hmm! That doesn't make sense. Why were the weakest Kings of Han and Yan spared?" A refined scholar beside him rubbed his chin, his head lowered in thought, and said in a deep voice. His eyes were filled with confusion and thought.

The disappearance of the five most powerful princes has caused unrest in the world. Various characters appear on the scene, hoping to build a bright future for their families.
