Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

The plague was eradicated, and Suo Chao returned to World D with a brisk pace. He looked solemn, his eyes revealing a complex emotion.

To survive, many young and strong men enlisted with their entire families to join the rebel army. As long as there was food, recruiting soldiers wasn't difficult. He recruited another 20 new soldiers and teleported them to World D. Also transported to World D were 500 million civilians who had joined the Myriad Worlds Gate.

At this time, Li Zicheng was brought before Suo Chao. Suo Chao raised his chin slightly, looked at Li Zicheng, and said slowly:

"King Chuang, let's talk." His voice was not loud, but it contained an unquestionable majesty.

Li Zicheng stood there, his clothes somewhat worn, his face showing a trace of fatigue and vicissitudes. He raised his head slightly, a hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"The defeated generals are at your mercy."

Suo Chao narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Li Zicheng closely, and asked:

"King Chuang, what is the purpose of your uprising?"

Li Zicheng was silent for a moment, a determined light flashed in his eyes, and he replied:

"For the sake of fairness, and to give people a way to survive." Although his voice was not loud, it was full of power.

Suo Chao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a questioning smile, and said:

"King Chuang, aren't you after that throne?"

Li Zicheng was stunned at first, then he smiled, a hint of pride appeared on his face, and said:

"Hehe, it's a lie to say I don't want to be emperor. I also want to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and establish my own new dynasty."

Suo Chao closed his eyes slightly and slowly raised his hands. A strange light gradually appeared around him, a sign that the divine stargazing technique had been activated.

As the light flickered, a series of shocking scenes appeared before their eyes. It was the scene of Li Zicheng attacking the capital, destroying the Ming court, and finally being defeated by Wu Sangui and Dorgon at Shanhaiguan.

Li Zicheng stood aside, staring closely at Suo Chao, his eyes filled with tension and anticipation. When he saw those mysterious scenes, his face turned pale and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

"It turns out...it turns out that without you, General, I would still be defeated." Li Zicheng muttered to himself absentmindedly, his face full of despair and helplessness.

Suo Chao looked at the distraught Li Zicheng and sighed slightly. He walked to Li Zicheng, patted his shoulder and said:

"King Chuang, you did a great job. But the rebels had their own ulterior motives and betrayed their original intentions after the victory. Failure was inevitable." Suo Chao's eyes revealed a hint of regret and helplessness, and his tone was calm and sincere.

Suo Chao was silent for a moment, then raised his head, his eyes gleaming with determination. He slowly told Li Zicheng his plan to rebuild the country and exterminate Japan.

"After conquering Japan, I promise you will become the ruler of Japan and fulfill your dream of becoming emperor." Suo Chao's voice was not loud, but it was full of strength and confidence.

After hearing Suo Chao's words, Li Zicheng's eyes were rekindled with hope. He straightened his body, his eyes revealing a sense of determination and dominance.

"Don't worry, General. With me here, destroying Japan will be a piece of cake." Li Zicheng's voice was loud and firm, as if he was declaring his determination to the whole world.

Suo Chao nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction in his eyes. He ordered Li Zicheng to be the vanguard general of the southern expedition, responsible for conquering Zhejiang. Li Zicheng took the order and left, his steps firm and powerful, as if carrying an endless mission and responsibility.

On this day, the sun shone brightly on the earth, but it could not dispel the tense atmosphere in the air. Chongzhen's peace envoys slowly arrived, their team vast and full of sincerity.

The carriages were loaded with gold, silver, and jewels, gleaming brightly in the sunlight. Silks and satins piled like clouds of vibrant colors. There were also a hundred beautiful women, each with a graceful figure and beautiful face.

Hong Chengchou was dressed in gorgeous official uniform and looked a little nervous. He walked quickly to Suo Chao, bowed respectfully, and said:

"Greetings, King Wu. I am Hong Chengchou, the envoy of this peace negotiation. His Majesty has appointed the general as the King of Wu of the Ming Dynasty. I hope that our two armies can temporarily refrain from fighting." There was a hint of expectation in his eyes. He raised his head slightly while speaking, observing Suo Chao's reaction.

Suo Chao sat in his high seat, his chin slightly raised, his eyes revealing a sense of majesty and confidence. This absolute control gave him peace of mind. If he had taken the Ming Dynasty city by city, it would have taken an unknown amount of time. But now, these two million troops were his confidence.

If you can't control the emperor, it means your army is not large enough. Today, Suo Chao has no shortage of soldiers or food, and his well-equipped rebel army has already formed a crushing momentum against the Ming army.

"Well! Lord Hong, please don't be so polite. I would like to see the peace talks. But..." Suo Chao narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of mystery in his tone.

Hong Chengchou's heart tightened, and he asked quickly:

"Oh, I wonder what the King of Wu wants?" His eyes were full of confusion and worry.

Suo Chao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, and said:

"I have two conditions: First, I heard that several princesses are smart and clever, and I want to accept them as my disciples. What do you think, Your Majesty?" There was a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.

Hong Chengchou was slightly stunned, then said:

"If the King of Wu is willing to suspend the war, I believe Your Majesty will agree to let the princesses become his disciples." His eyes revealed a hint of helplessness, but he also seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

"Secondly, I want to preach and provide disaster relief in the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time eradicate the corrupt officials and plague in the Ming Dynasty." Suo Chao put his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly, and added with a firm look.

Hong Chengchou was slightly startled, then a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he quickly said:

"The King of Wu cares for the people, and Your Majesty will agree to this." His eyes were full of admiration, and he bowed slightly as he spoke, expressing his respect to Suo Chao. A hopeful smile filled his face, as if he had seen the dawn of peace.

Suo Chao nodded slightly and promised not to attack the capital. The four daughters of Emperor Chongzhen were sick and weak and could not escape the clutches of the epidemic. This time he wanted to change the fate of the four princesses' death.

However, Suo Chao did not order a ceasefire to the seven armies heading south. He had his own calculations in mind, and this peace talk was just a chess move in his strategy to conquer the Central Plains.
