Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

October, 202 AD.

Suo Chao led an army of 15 out of Qingzhou to the east, crossed the Yellow River, and captured the counties and plains on the border of Qingzhou along the way.

In this battle, Suo Chao appointed Shejian as the commander of the left wing army and Chen Huan as the commander of the right wing army. Each of them led an army of 6, while he alone led the central army and rushed to the border of Jizhou to fight against the most elite Wei Qing army.

Wei Qing, having learned of Suo Chao's troop movements, temporarily suspended his plan to march north to attack Chen Tang's army. To defeat Suo Chao and recapture Qingzhou, he mobilized 10 elite cavalry, 3 firearms, 5 spearmen, and 2 archers.

Cao Cao's army was not willing to fall behind. 5 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, 5 Qingzhou soldiers, and 10 Yanzhou troops were also on high alert, focusing on guarding against threats from Yan Yan and Chen Tang's army.

Over the years, Cao Cao has copied the development experience of the north, and has ushered in a qualitative leap in agriculture, technology, and military strength. He has millions of soldiers and countless stores of food and supplies.

Suo Chao hadn't yet inflicted a significant loss on Cao Cao's main forces, and he wasn't in a rush to launch an attack. He awaited news from Chen Tang's army and Yan Yan's army, hoping to launch a decisive battle with all three armies.

......

Sizhou front.

Sun Wu assembled 20 troops to attack Hongnong County; Zhou Yu ordered 5 Shen Ce troops to station at Mengjin Ferry, while the remaining Jiangdong navy crossed the river and directly captured Henan Yin.

Yan Xiang reorganized his forces and led an army of 20, with Yan Yu, Yuwen Tai, and Shi Dakai as generals and Xu Shu as military advisor, to meet the invading Sun Wu army from multiple directions.

Zhang Meiniang, who was in charge of Henan Yin, also actively prepared for war. Her 20 armies were sent out together, leaving only 2 defenders in the city.

She first appointed Huang Zhong as general and mobilized 10 troops to garrison in Guancheng to defend against Wu Qi's troops in Jiyin County; she also sent another 10 troops to assist Zhang Xiu's troops in Yingchuan County to resist Sima Yi's army of Cao Wei.

......

Yizhou front.

Zhang Ren welcomed the powerful reinforcement of Borshu. The two of them raised an army of 15 and were not afraid of Sun Ce's attack at all.

.....

Hanyou front line.

Chi You's army of 20 soldiers had already invaded Goguryeo and Buyeo, launching a campaign of annihilation against the Xianbei tribe of Murong Chui. Meanwhile, Zhao Yun of Liaozhou, hearing the news, mobilized an army of 20 and launched an attack on the heartland of Buyeo.

Under Chi You's command, there were unparalleled commanders such as Zhang Jiao, Murong Ke, and Taishi Ci, while Zhao Yun also had the supreme military advisor Pang Tong.

The battle against the Xianbei was going smoothly and would soon be conquered. It was not because Mu Huali, Murong Chui, and Zhebie were weak, but because Chiyou was too strong.

No matter it is a battle between generals or a confrontation between armies, no one can be a match for Chi You. The command ability of this ancestor Chi You is unstoppable.

.....

Yangzhou.

Tuoba Tao led 5 troops from Yizhou across the sea and launched a fierce attack on Kuaiji County. Most of the Jiangdong army had moved north, leaving the city empty and unable to resist Tuoba Tao's elite troops.

"Kuaiji County has fallen!"

......

Jiaozhou.

Liu Yuan led an army of 100,000 across the sea from Zhuya Prefecture and landed on the coast at Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou was poorly defended, and his army won victory after victory, successively capturing Rinan, Jiuzhen, Jiaozhi, and Hepu prefectures.

The governor of Jiaozhou, Cheng Pu, was defeated by Liu Yuan's army and retreated to Yulin County. Liu Yuan pursued him relentlessly, hoping to conquer all of Jiaozhou in one fell swoop.

......

Yuzhou front.

Yue Fei assembled 35 elite troops, thwarted Wu Qi's plan to attack Sizhou, and intended to capture the entire Yuzhou.

Wu Qi's 40 elite troops were no pushovers either. They repelled the attacks of Yue Fei and Ran Min's legions many times, and the situation in Yuzhou was generally under control.

Military confrontations between Yue Fei and Wu Qi were staged one after another. The two won and lost alternately, and it was difficult to tell who was the better one, and they fell into an endless tug-of-war.

The situation in each state was turbulent, and a large amount of supplies were requisitioned and shipped to the front. The people in the north didn't feel much, but the people in the southern states could not bear it.

"When will this chaotic world end? The imperial court is imposing taxes again, and our whole family will have to eat dirt again." A man from Yangzhou complained with a frown.

"Alas, my family can't even make ends meet! Suo Chao and the lord are brothers with different surnames, how could it come to this? Can't they coexist?" said another hunter.

"There is no family affection in the face of interests. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were brothers back then, but they fell out just because of the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children." At this time, the voice of an elegant scholar sounded.

"That's right!" echoed the hunter.

.....

The unification of the world is just around the corner. Before Suo Chao could capture Ji Province, he received the bad news that a major epidemic had occurred in Qing and Yan Provinces.

The disease spread rapidly, quickly engulfing the soldiers on the front lines and even showing signs of spreading wildly northward. Many strong soldiers fell, and the people of every county were in mourning.

Suo Chao had no choice but to suspend military operations and actively prepare for epidemic prevention. His wives were skilled in medicine, and relieving the symptoms of plague patients was not a difficult task, but they were too busy to treat millions of people.

This epidemic came on strangely, swiftly, and fatally. Unable to concoct a large quantity of special decoctions, Suo Chao could only use the 36 Tiangang Soul-Returning Needles to treat the critically ill.

In order to find out the source of the epidemic, Suo Chao used divination and divine astrology in succession, and finally found out the culprit of this man-made disaster.

"Dian Wei's curse!" The curse isn't a disease, and it can't be cured with medicine. Only by reciting the 36 Tiangang Soul-Returning Needles or the divine healing spell, Nine Turns of Soul-Returning, can a complete cure be achieved.
