Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

The young Han Xin deployed his troops and secretly invited Sun Quan's army in Jiangdong to join forces to counterattack Xuzhou.

In this battle, in order to support the friendly forces in retaking Yanzhou, the 100,000-strong army of Xuzhou was on high alert.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other brave generals were all unrivaled commanders. The troops under their command were highly motivated and invincible wherever their swords pointed.

Even though the young Han Xin had a new army with powerful firepower, it was difficult to stop the surprise attack of the three armies of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Ying Bu.

"General, the enemy is unstoppable. We have lost Dongjun and several cities in Pengcheng." Cao Shen frowned and reported the latest battle situation in Xuzhou truthfully.

"There are 30 troops stationed in Xuzhou, and I have the advantage. But the military strength of my generals is rarely comparable to Guan and Zhang, so we must not rashly fight against them. Our army can concentrate our superior forces, defeat them one by one, and gradually erode Han and Guo's 10 troops." The young Han Xin was calm and composed, and arranged the next tactical action in an orderly manner.

......

Suo Chao's troops successively captured Qingzhou and Yanzhou. Cao's army suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat to Jizhou.

When this bad news reached Xuzhou, young Han Xin was on pins and needles, and Guo Jia, standing beside him, was also dejected. The two men tacitly agreed to seize Xuzhou as soon as possible.

"My lord, there is no hope for your counterattack on Yanzhou and Qingzhou. Now our army is attacked from all sides and faces a life-and-death crisis." Guo Jia took out a sheepskin map and carefully analyzed the battle situation.

"The military situation is critical. We must take Xuzhou and then move on to Yanzhou and Qingzhou." Young Han Xin repeatedly studied the situation on the Xuzhou battlefield, trying to find the weaknesses of Suo Chao's army.

The Han and Guo armies can no longer wait; they must act, or their lord's cause will be in jeopardy. The situation in Xuzhou is turbulent again, and a major war could break out at any moment.

North State.

When the news that the imperial teacher Suo Chao had abolished Emperor Liu Xie and enthroned Liu Bian as the Emperor of Han reached the north, the military and civilians were all excited.

The streets and alleys are decorated with lights and the people in the north are immersed in a festive atmosphere.

"Daddy, is the Imperial Master back?" A little boy with his hair in a bun jumped up to his father and asked excitedly.

"Yes. Our invincible marquis is back. Now there is only one Han emperor." The young man picked up the child and cried with joy.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, a man's entire family died of illness and starvation. Hearing that the people of the north were living in peace and contentment, he traveled thousands of miles to escape the famine and changed his fate.

In recent years, the 11 states under the jurisdiction of Beidi, including Youzhou, Bingzhou, Beizhou, Sizhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Xizhou, Liaozhou, Hanzhou, Qiangzhou, and Yizhou, have all become prosperous.

In terms of agriculture, the Northern States enjoyed bumper harvests year after year. The granaries of the 11 states stretched as far as the eye could see, with vast quantities of food stored across the land, ensuring that the people had no worries about food and clothing.

In terms of population, the number of people in the North has exceeded 4000 million. Many young couples have five or six children, and even families with seven or eight are not uncommon.

Thanks to the birth incentive policies over the years, the North has welcomed waves of baby booms, which is what Suo Chao wants to see.

In terms of education, young talents are emerging like mushrooms after rain. States are also experiencing a surge in the number of experts in interior affairs, military affairs, and scientific and technological personnel.

......

In the northern Han Palace, Liu Bian was enjoying a comfortable life. The mutiny had enlightened him, and he had given up on regaining power.

Suo Chao held on tightly to military power and the right to speak in public opinion. Liu Bian was not a mascot either, and he could also appoint officials and confer merits and honors on his ministers.

A few years ago, Liu Bian learned from his mother's letter that he had a younger brother and sister. He was furious and cursed Suo Chao countless times in his heart. However, after calming down, he realized that although he was unhappy, he also understood his mother's choice.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master has won another victory!" Situ Guoyuan reported at the monotonous and boring court meeting.

"My dear minister, I understand. The national teacher has made great contributions and deserves to be rewarded. I will immediately issue an edict to commend the national teacher and grant him the title of Marquis Qilin." Emperor Liu Bian was generous in bestowing the title.

"Your Majesty is wise and long live His Majesty." The ministers shouted "Long live His Majesty" and the sound of kowtows and thanksgiving was endless.

Liu Bian only regretted that he could not restore the Han Dynasty and failed to live up to the high expectations of his ancestors. However, this ambition was fleeting, replaced by a beautiful and comfortable life of leisure.

The Northern Han Palace is magnificent and has countless pavilions and towers.

There were thousands of beautiful concubines in the harem. Suo Chao did not object to Emperor Liu Bian taking a concubine, after all, she was the elder brother of his son and daughter.

Liu Bian had many children and would have given He Ling a good explanation. It was hard to repay a beautiful woman's kindness. In the future, he would have someone familiar to guard the foundation he laid during his conquests.

If given the chance, Suo Chao also planned to give Liu Bian a real territory, emulating the King of the North, Liu Shi, and occupy land in North America and become king.
