Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

"Sun Jian? I didn't expect that I am a fellow villager of Sun Wentai!" Suo Chao muttered to himself, with an expression of surprise and joy on his face, his eyes shining.

It is now 173 AD, and the rise of the Tiger of Jiangdong began last year.

Like Liu Hong, Sun Jian died young in his thirties, though one died of illness and the other was ambushed and shot.

Sun Jian, a young man known for his chivalry, was on a boat trip to Qiantang last year with his father, Sun Zhong, to visit relatives. On the way, they encountered the pirate Hu Yu, who was plundering a passing merchant ship.

The thieves were rampant. They ordered the merchants to disembark for inspection and hand over their belongings. Those who refused were either killed or robbed. Many people handed over their belongings in order to save their lives.

The pirates were very proud and unscrupulously divided the spoils on the shore. They were familiar with this kind of thing. The boatmen outside the dock were terrified and dared not sail any further. At this time, a young man on a boat clenched his fists, looked at his father, and said firmly:

"Father, leave these bandits to me. I can destroy them."

Sun Zhong's face was serious and full of anger. He didn't know whether he was angry at the pirates or angry at his son for not knowing when to stop. He refused. He gritted his teeth and said resolutely:

"This matter is beyond the power of a child like you to handle. We can just wait patiently. At worst, we will just hand over our property."

Sun Jian was undeterred by his father's words. He strode towards the shore, sword in hand. As he walked, he waved his hand, directing the merchant ships forward. This was a plan Sun Jian had agreed with the boatmen in advance. To overcome the difficulties, the boatmen agreed to Sun Jian's command.

Sun Jian was commanding the pirates here and there, and they thought the pursuing officers and soldiers had arrived and were commanding their boats to encircle and intercept them.

Dozens of ships were moving in unison, creating a terrifying scene, as if they were about to capture them all. The pirates were terrified and immediately abandoned the valuables they could not take away, and fled in panic.

"Hurry up! The soldiers are coming!" the pirate shouted.

"What the hell are you still hesitating about? If you can't take the things away, just throw them away. If you get caught by the soldiers, you will be in trouble!" Hu Yu cursed angrily.

Everyone was very happy to see the pirates run away and prepared to disperse.

"Brothers! The pirates were scared away by us just now. If we disperse like this, it won't work. When they come to their senses, they will continue to block us." Sun Jian explained.

The brothers on the ship also knew the pros and cons of the situation and willingly followed Sun Jian, chasing and killing the pirates all the way, and they returned with great satisfaction.

"Father, I did it!" Sun Jian was very proud and asked his father for credit.

Sun's father was ecstatic, his eyes sparkling with excitement, as bright as stars. He held his son's shoulders tightly and said excitedly:

"My dear son, you are awesome!"

"Good job!!" Sun Zhong's voice was filled with uncontrollable joy, as loud as a bell, echoing in the air.

Sun Jian defeated the notorious pirate Hu Yu in this battle, and his fame reached the governor, who appointed him as acting captain.

In the same year, Kuaiji County.

Xu Chang raised an army in rebellion in Juzhang and proclaimed himself Emperor Yangming.

Xu Chang's son, Xu Shao, was very similar to his father in ability and ambition, and was no ordinary person. They went around inciting the people of various counties.

"Down with the powerful and distribute the fields, land and houses!" Xu Chang shouted at the top of his lungs, his facial muscles twisted with excitement and his hands waving constantly.

"Damn it! We've had enough of this shit!" The people also roared, their emotions were boiling, with flames of anger flashing in their eyes.

In a short time, countless people responded. Tens of thousands of rebels gathered in Xuchang, and the surrounding counties fell one after another.

When the governor heard the news, he was horrified, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly called the brave Sun Jian and asked anxiously:

"Wentai! The rebels are powerful! I think Wujun is also in danger!" The prefect's eyes were full of worry and fear, and his hands tightly grasped Sun Jian's arms.

Sun Jian's face was filled with determination and confidence. He straightened his back, his eyes sharp as an eagle, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, Governor! It's a small matter! I will definitely be able to repel the rebels!" His words were loud and clear, as if they had infinite power.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter entirely to Wen Tai! You can do it at your convenience." The prefect breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had found a life-saving straw, his eyes full of trust and expectation.

......

Sun Jian, acting as the commander of a county, recruited a thousand local militiamen. He led these militiamen to join forces with the provincial and county officials. He rode atop a tall horse, his hands tightly gripping the reins, his gaze fixed on the rebels, and he shouted:

"Brothers, charge with me! Now is the time to achieve great things!"

Sun Jian was a brave and unstoppable warrior, and he quickly defeated Ju Zhang's 10,000-strong rebel army.

This incident happened last year, in the first year of Xiping (172 AD), when Sun Jian was only 17 years old. The governor Zang Min reported Sun Jian's achievements to the court.

"Sun Jian was a brave and valiant man, and he defeated over ten thousand rebels at Juzhang," he said.

Liu Hong: "Sun Wentai is indeed brave and valiant, a fierce tiger from Jiangdong!"

Emperor Ling issued an edict to commend Sun Jian's achievements and appointed him as the magistrate of Yandu County.

A few years later, he was successively appointed as the magistrate of Xuyi County and Xiapi County. Sun Jian served as the magistrate of three counties and was very prestigious wherever he went. Officials and people were also willing to make friends with the chivalrous and wise magistrate.

Sun Chao associated with a wide range of people, from prominent local figures to wandering young knights. Sun Jian treated them all like his own children and relatives.

The efforts to receive and raise the orphans were all done with all their heart and soul. Upon learning of this, many orphan volunteers came to join them. The most famous among them were Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao.

"It would be great if I could join the forces of County Magistrate Sun!" Suo Chao muttered to himself. He frowned slightly, a hint of desire and expectation in his eyes, while his fingers unconsciously fiddled with the corner of his clothes.

The system's task was to join a faction, but he wondered how to complete the task? Acknowledging Sun Jian as his adoptive father? Suo Chao shook his head, abandoning this wild thought. He looked at Suo Qiang and continued with his previous question.

"Uncle Qiangzi, how do we get to the nearby town?"

Suo Qiang had a puzzled look on his face, his brows knitted tightly together, his eyes full of confusion. He didn't know why this kid suddenly asked about the town, and said angrily:

"What exactly do you want to do by asking about the town's news?"

"Let's go buy some food!" Suo Chao said calmly, as if this was the most ordinary thing.

The world was in utter chaos. Plague ravaged the land like a demon, and bandits were rampant. Almost nine out of ten villages were deserted. Suo Chao frowned, gazing at the devastated scene around him, a deep sorrow welling up in his heart.

"It's very dangerous outside. What are you, a little kid, going to town for? It's more than 20 kilometers away!" Suo Qiang said anxiously with his eyes wide open, waving his arms as he spoke, as if trying to stop Suo Chao's idea.

"If you meet those bad guys, I'm afraid you won't be enough to fill their teeth!" Uncle Qiangzi continued, his face full of worry, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be deeper.

Suo Chao fell into deep thought for a while, then he said earnestly:

"Uncle Qiangzi, my parents are gone, and there's nothing to eat at home."

His eyes dimmed, as if they had lost their luster.

"Without enough food and water, staying here is just waiting to die. Uncle Qiangzi, your family doesn't have much surplus food, right?"

Uncle Qiangzi nodded slowly, a weak expression on his face, and replied weakly:

"The food I brought from town has been eaten up."

"I am seriously ill now and have no energy left to go to town to buy food." Suo Qiang said as he sighed helplessly.

"That's right! If we wait here to die, there is no way out!" Suo Chao said anxiously, his eyebrows raised.

"On the contrary, I will go to the town to buy food. Maybe we still have a chance to survive."

My parents had brought me here before, but now, like a lost lamb, I found it difficult to find the familiar path. Suo Chao had checked three ordinary treasure maps: one on the edge of the village, and the other two in the nearest town.

Uncle Qiangzi looked up at Suo Chao. In his eyes, one seemed to see a star of unwavering confidence, accompanied by a sigh of helplessness.

"Poor kid! You've suffered so much!"

"Uncle has some money here. Put on this padded coat to keep warm. Put the money in the padded coat, it will be safer." Uncle Qiangzi said as he found the coat from the corner and handed it to Suo Chao.

"This is the route to Yunyan Town." Uncle Qiangzi said seriously.

"If you follow the path at the village entrance, you'll be out of our deadwood forest. Then you'll see three forked roads. Choose the one heading east."

"By the way, can you tell the directions?" Uncle Qiangzi questioned.

Suo Qiang thought to himself, of course I can tell the difference. However, he rolled his eyes, found a clever way to start, and said in a childish voice:

"Uncle Qiangzi! I know! The sun rises in the east and the sun sets in the west. He raised his little face, looking serious.

"My parents taught me."

"Uncle Qiang, please let me try. If I can't find the way, I will come back early." Suo Chao said firmly, his eyes full of determination.

"Oh! That's fine!! Don't force yourself, just do your best."

"Well! Uncle Qiang, please don't worry, I'm afraid of the dark." Suo Chao showed a sly smile.

"Haha. Next, go east and cross that mountain, and you'll find the town you're looking for."

"Be careful on the road, go early and come back early." Uncle Qiangzi said with concern.

"Uncle Qiangzi, I'm very energetic! I will definitely be able to find Yunyan Town and buy back the food!" Suo Chao patted his chest and promised, his face filled with a confident smile.

Suo Chao not only wanted to buy food, but also medicinal herbs. Uncle Qiang's illness could no longer be delayed.

"Uncle Qiangzi! There's still some boiling water left in the pot, warming some sweet potatoes and taro."

"Do you want to eat something else? I'll get you some taro now."

Suo Qiang stared at the weak Suo Chao and choked up:

"No hurry, while it's still early, hurry up and set off!"

"It's not safe if it's too late. I remember there are wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains."

"Okay! Uncle Qiangzi, I'll put the warmed taro and sweet potato next to your bed! You can eat them whenever you want."

"You have to take care of yourself. When I come back from town with the medicine, you will be well again."

Suo Chao prepared everything, wrapped himself in a cotton coat, and set off.

"What a sensible child! What a pity that fate is so unfair that he became an orphan so early."

Now, Suo Qiang was like a flower ravaged by a storm, his body frail and weak, like a candle in the wind. If Suo Chao hadn't shown up, his condition would have worsened, and coupled with his lack of food, his time would have been numbered.

In desperation, he could only take a risk and let the little kid have a try. Looking at the small figure leaving the room, he remained silent for a long time, like a clay sculpture or wooden carving, with thousands of words stuck in his throat, unable to express them.

Suo Chao followed the village path, quickly crossing the deadwood forest. He knew there was a treasure hiding at the end of the forest, and he could dig it up along the way. As he walked, several crows suddenly started up from the woods.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

“Quack…”

The shrill cries made his hair stand on end, and a chill kept rising in Suo Chao's heart. He found a wooden stick on the side of the road, held it in his hand, and continued walking forward.

Suo Chao finally reached the end of the path. He looked around, constantly adjusting his pace, trying to get closer to the treasure. Then a ding sounded:

[Congratulations host!!! A common treasure spot has been detected. Do you confirm to open it?]

"Confirm to activate!"

[Congratulations to the host! You have opened a common treasure map and gained the Divine Movement skill.]

"This is really timely! I was traveling so slowly before!"

A temporary base speed of 85 points, plus an additional 300% speed bonus. At this speed, Suo Chao can quickly climb over the mountain ahead.

"I can get to town early." Suo Chao jumped up excitedly.

Suo Chao placed his right hand on his forehead, blocking some of the glaring sunlight, and paused to gaze into the distance, secretly sighing that the system was truly powerful this time.

An adult walks at a normal speed of 3.5 to 4 kilometers per hour, and those who walk fast can barely reach 5 kilometers per hour.
