Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Suo Chao activated the Heavenly Dragon Halberd Technique, feeling a new level of fighting spirit, now filled with strength. With one swing of the halberd, a strong wind whistled, sweeping up countless fallen leaves.

"Haha! So refreshing!"

Suo Chao was aware of Wan Dacheng's fighting spirit and returned to the camp to personally meet with all the generals, including the captured enemy general Batu.

"Quickly untie General Batu."

Suo Chao ordered the escorting guards to untie the ropes on Batu, but was met with a cold face.

"Stop talking nonsense, you bastard Suo Chao. If you want to kill me, just kill me." Batu said with a weak breath and tilted head, but he was unyielding.

"General Batu, you are seriously injured. Wait until you recover before we discuss the matter." Suo Chao values ​​talents. Such a peerless and powerful general can be a good helper in conquering the world.

"Don't waste your time. I am Prime Minister Cao's man in life and Prime Minister Cao's ghost in death." Badu said resolutely without changing his original expression.

Suo Chao was not angry. He clapped his hands and brought the captured Cao Cao's family members and Emperor Xian of Han forward. Among them, those with their families included Cao Cao's Madam Liu, Madam Ding, Madam Bian, and his daughter Princess Qinghe.

"General, you would rather die than surrender. Suo Boyi admires you. If you die, these members of the Cao family will have to be buried with you." Suo Chao glanced at the captives standing below and said in a cold voice.

"Suo Chao, you are abominable!" Batu spat out a mouthful of blood, angrily saying. If he couldn't save his lord's family, how could he face the dead soldiers in Cao's camp?

"Uncle Suochao, please don't kill General Batu." A timid young man said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Hey? Who is that young man in the audience?" Suo Chao became interested when he saw that the young man did not plead for himself but for an enemy general instead.

"I am Cao Jiu, the son of Madam Ding and the second son of Prime Minister Cao. I would like to thank my uncle for curing my mother's hidden illness in the past." Cao Jiu was calm and composed, not caring at all about his status as a prisoner, and spoke slowly.

"Mrs. Ding, you gave birth to a good son." Suo Chao looked at Mrs. Ding below and praised.

"Divine doctor, no, Master Imperial Master. The two armies fought, and we were defeated and captured. I have nothing to say. Please forgive these ignorant youngsters." Mrs. Ding was graceful and elegant, and she seemed to be the backbone of this group of people.

"Madam Ding, this depends on General Batu's choice." Suo Chao said in a deep voice, with his hands behind his back and his back facing everyone, after a moment of silence.

Batu was caught in a dilemma. In order to protect his lord's family, he had no choice but to surrender to Suo Chao's camp.

"General Suo Chao, I surrender. But I have three conditions. First, I will only submit to the Han. Second, I will never again raise an army against Cao's army. Third, you must do everything in your power to protect my lord's family and ensure their safety."

Batu laid out three rules, and Suo Chao readily agreed. After healing Batu's injuries, he activated the Unparalleled Sword Domain to send Batu and Cao Mengde's families to World D, leaving behind an uneasy Emperor Xian of Han.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Prince Xie. There is no two suns in the sky, and there can only be one emperor in this world, and that is your elder brother who is in charge of Beizhou." Suo Chao bowed and said.

"Master, you have worked so hard and have made such great contributions. I am willing to abdicate." Liu Xie exhaled lightly, feeling relieved. It felt wonderful to give up this caged life.

Suo Chao did not make things difficult for Emperor Xian of Han, and instead established a luxurious palace in World D for Liu Xie to live in. He also had the opportunity to participate in the governance of Wu in World D.

After the abolition of the throne, Liu Xie became interested in scientific research and development, and Suo Chao was happy to support him without interfering. Now with Empress Fu and Consort Dong by his side and a career he was passionate about, his life improved.

......

Suo Chao stood on the ruined city wall, his hand on the hilt of his sword, the hem of his armor still stained with fresh blood. He gazed north toward Jizhou and pressed the map of Qingzhou heavily against Fang La's chest.

"General Fang, all 34 soldiers in Qingzhou are in your hands."

Fang La knelt on one knee to take the map, his black iron wristband clanging against the blue bricks.

"Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will never let Cao's army cross the moat!"

Suo Chao planned to march north to capture Jizhou. He handed over the military affairs of Qingzhou to Fang La, while the internal affairs were entrusted to Yu Qian.

"Sir, please take more care of the people's livelihood in Qingzhou." Suo Chao said respectfully.

"The Imperial Master has entrusted me with such a great responsibility that I will certainly live up to the mission." Yu Qian bowed in return.

......

"Great victory in Yanzhou!"

"Great victory in Qingzhou!"

When the army and civilians of Beizhou heard that the national teacher Suo Chao had returned in force and successively captured Qingzhou and Yanzhou, the army and civilians of the north united as one and sent off the soldiers who had fought in the south and north with food and drink.

"That's great! Our ever-victorious general is back." A vendor from Beizhou choked with tears.

"Yes! Our Imperial Master is invincible and unstoppable." The elegant scholar beside him stroked his short beard and said excitedly.

In Bingzhou, Zhen Mansion, a stunningly beautiful figure appeared in the quiet courtyard. The courtyard was large, and its steps were scattered with golden fallen leaves.

"Miss, our Marquis has won another victory." The maid Xiaohong cheered.

"Well! My eldest sister is also very capable. She is the female general of our Zhen family." Zhen Mi moved lightly with lotus steps and said with an elegant smile.

"When a husband and wife are of one mind, they can accomplish anything." Xiaohong puffed out her chest and said proudly.

"I haven't seen my sister for a long time." Zhen Mi fell into memories, missing the good old days when the sisters played together.

Zhen Jiang, who was far away in Yanzhou, repeatedly repelled the counterattacks of Guo Jia and Han Xin's troops, shattering their plot to recapture Yanzhou.

"General, the enemy general Liu Feng raided Taishan County again and was defeated by our army." Niu Gao reported in a voice as loud as thunder.

"General Niu, thank you for your hard work. We have defeated Guo Jia and Liu Feng's armies in succession, and Han Xin's corps in Xuzhou has difficulty moving north. However, we must guard against Wu Qi's corps in the direction of Yuzhou." Zhen Jiang pointed out the distribution of troop forces on the battlefields of various states, and proposed a plan to focus on guarding against Wu Qi in Yuzhou and seize the opportunity to attack Lu.

"General, General Ma Chao is stationed in Dongjun. There is no hope for Cao Cao's army in Jizhou to move south. We can immediately deploy troops to attack Lu." Niu Gao was unwilling to defend and wanted to take the initiative to attack and cooperate with General Yue Fei to attack Yuzhou.

"The people of Yanzhou have not yet completely surrendered. General Niu still has to focus on protecting the territory and the people. The attack on Lu State will be postponed for the time being." After comprehensive consideration, Zhen Jiang finalized the plan to hold on to Yanzhou.

......

The fierce battle in Xuzhou was in full swing, and the middle-aged Han Xin only had 10 soldiers and horses under his command, so he had no time to send troops north.

The young Han Xin led 30 elite troops and successively captured most of Xuzhou. Donghai, Guangling, and Langye counties were gradually incorporated into Suo Chao's sphere of influence, and his troops attacked the young Han Xin and Sun Quan's troops.

The battle of Xuzhou was unfavorable, and the two generals were equally matched in strategy, making it difficult to determine the winner. Sun Quan actively contacted allied forces, hoping to seize Guangling County again.

Seeing that the 10 troops from Jiangdong had arrived, Han Xin was confident that he could completely defeat the enemy and recapture the blood-cursed counties.

"My dear generals, Xuzhou must not be lost. Before leaving, I signed a military order to the prime minister, pledging to capture Xuzhou." Han Xin's expression was solemn, and his majestic tone revealed decisiveness and wisdom.

"Yes!" the generals responded in unison.

"General, the Jiangdong rats are not capable of handling such a heavy responsibility. We cannot hold too much hope." Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and said disdainfully.

"General Yunchang, I understand your concerns." Han Xin waved his hand, signaling his men to prepare for battle. Just in case, he secretly dispatched Ying Bu and Liu Bei to lead their respective armies to coordinate with Sun Quan's army's next move.
