Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Julu County, Jizhou.

With his reborn memories, Murong Ke had a thorough understanding of the current situation. Now the Xianbei needed allies. The three Zhang Jue brothers were a good choice. One day, Murong Ke arrived at the headquarters of the Taiping Sect.

"Great and Good Master, you have a lot of followers! Do you have any ulterior motives?" General Murong looked at Zhang Jue coldly, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"General Murong, don't talk nonsense. I am devoted to Taoism and have no other intentions. My believers are all ordinary people who just yearn for some comfort and hope." Zhang Jue said calmly, with that kind smile still on his face.

"Master Zhang, please stop pretending here. You and I are both smart people, and we know what's going on." General Murong sneered.

"To be honest, although the Han Dynasty is corrupt, it is still powerful. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The possibility of your uprising being successful is very slim." General Murong continued.

"General Murong, what do you mean by this?" Zhang Jue's face turned a little ugly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"My meaning is very simple. We Xianbei are willing to become friends with the Great Sage Master and work together." A smile appeared on General Murong's face, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Jue was moved when he heard this. He knew that the Xianbei were brave and good at fighting. If he could gain their support, the chances of the uprising's success would be greatly increased.

"I wonder what you plan to do?" Zhang Jue looked at General Murong, his heart full of anticipation.

Mu Rongke pondered for a moment and said slowly:

"First, people of all ethnic groups will treat each other equally and no longer be hostile to each other."

"Second, to enfeoff the Great and Virtuous Master as the Imperial Master, to teach the world with propriety, law, and virtue."

"Third, uphold fairness and justice, and do not harm the people of the Han Dynasty in the slightest."

"Most of the foreigners are ruthless and cruel, forgetting their principles when they see profit. Your promise is worthless."

"Great and wise teacher. To show my sincerity, I will tell you an important news." A mysterious smile appeared on Mu Rongke's face.

"What news?" An ominous premonition arose in Zhang Jue's heart.

"Are you planning to start an uprising in March next year?" Mu Rongke's words startled Zhang Jue, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"General Murong, where did you hear this news?" There was a hint of trembling in Zhang Jue's voice.

"Great and virtuous teacher, don't ask me how I know this. Your affairs are not difficult to find out." A smug smile appeared on Mu Rongke's face.

"According to our reliable intelligence, the Eastern Han court has already noticed your movements, but has not yet taken any action to suppress them."

"If the Han Dynasty has evidence of your rebellion, they will take action against you immediately. What will the Great Sage Master do then?" Mu Rongke's words filled Zhang Jue's heart with fear.

"What evidence?" There was a hint of despair in Zhang Jue's voice.

"Are you going to let Ma Yuanyi bribe Feng Chan and Xu Feng? When the time comes, both places will launch uprisings at the same time. This strategy is indeed very good, but it's a pity that there is a traitor among you!" Mu Rongke's words filled Zhang Jue's heart with doubts.

"Who is it?" There was a hint of anger in Zhang Jue's voice.

"This is the purpose of my visit to the Great Sage Master today. This traitor is your disciple Tang Zhou!" Mu Rongke's words filled Zhang Jue's heart with shock.

"Are you planning to send him to the capital as a messenger?" Rong Ke's words filled Zhang Jue's heart with despair.

"That's right! That's right, this person is a variable. I don't want the great and virtuous teacher's plan to fail halfway." Mu Rongke's words filled Zhang Jue's heart with gratitude.

Zhang Jue secretly interrogated Tang Zhou and discovered that he was loyal to the Han Dynasty.

"Tang Zhou, what do you think of this uprising?"

"Great and virtuous teacher, rebellion is the business of us poor people. Why do we need to win over the officials of the court to act together?"

"These court officials are no good! If we associate with these thieves, won't we chill the hearts of believers everywhere?"

"Asshole! The Han Dynasty is not fragile. If we don't have reinforcements, we will most likely fail."

"Even if our rebellion fails, it will be a clean one. We don't need to associate with those servile people."

"What would you do if I didn't reject Ma Yuanyi's plan?"

Tang Zhou's face seemed to be shrouded in a haze of disappointment, and his eyes, which had once been full of enthusiasm for Zhang Jue, now became dim.

The passage of time, like a ruthless sword, pierced his beautiful fantasy about the Taiping Sect. He suddenly woke up and realized that the Taiping Sect was not a paradise, but a strict hierarchy, like a pyramid, with each level representing different powers and status.

Even if they succeed in their uprising, the lives of the people may not be greatly improved.

Now, the Taiping Cult was colluding with corrupt imperial officials. This was something Tang Zhou could not accept. At this moment, the scales in his heart tilted towards the Han Dynasty. Due to the automatic protection mechanism of the dog head, he did not make any meaningless rebuttal.

"The Great and Good Master has made his decision, and I will obey your orders."

Zhang Jue imprisoned Tang Zhou and replaced his loyal followers with those who supported him and returned to Luoyang. He sensed Murong Ke's goodwill. The situation proved more powerful than the individual, and the two men reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation.

"General Murong, colluding with foreign tribes is detrimental to the morale of the rebel army. I hope you can help us in secret."

"That's no problem! When the time is right, we can start in-depth cooperation."

......

Having achieved his goal, Murong Ke rushed back to the Xianbei camp overnight and reported his plan to Tan Shihuai.

"General Murong, you've worked hard on this trip."

"If this can be accomplished, we can look forward to our grand plans and great undertakings!"

"Khan, in order to launch this operation, we can station a large number of troops on the northern border of the desert and do our utmost to contain the Han army."

"Well, this is a very good plan! I wonder how many people we should send?"

"20 million!"

"Who is the commander?"

"Khan, our strategic purpose in stationing troops on the northern border is to contain the Han army. If the time is right, we can advance southward."

"As for the selection of the commander, I suggest that the five of us elders act together, each leading 5 troops. We will act accordingly."

"Hmm! Elder Ke's words make sense. I wonder what the other elders think?"

"We have no objection. This is a good idea."

.....

While Zhang Jue meticulously planned the uprising, the Eastern Han court seemed to be kept in the dark, failing to detect and suppress it in time. Ma Yuanyi, on the other hand, actively colluded with Feng Yan, Xu Feng, and others in the palace.

Ma Yuanyi was full of confidence and longed to be able to penetrate the imperial city like a sharp sword on the day of the uprising, and cooperate with the Yellow Turban Army outside the city to deal a fatal blow to the Eastern Han court.

Soon, the Xianbei raised an army of 20 men and arrayed themselves a hundred miles from the southern part of the Monan region. This time, they were led by Tan Shihuai, Tuoba Tao, Budugen, Murong Ke, and Murong Chui.

Tan Shihuai and Murong Chui personally led an army of 8, serving as the vanguard on the left and right routes respectively, with troops each. The remaining troops set up camp and stationed at the border south of the desert.

Facing their former formidable enemy, the five Xianbei generals did not underestimate the enemy and advanced cautiously. Tan Shihuai and Murong Ke's left and right armies focused on harassing and containing the Han army, launching probing attacks against them.

Suo Chao and Huangfu Song noticed the Xianbei's abnormality. Fortunately, the court had made preparations in advance.

"Old General, the Xianbei's expedition this time is probably not simple. Let me test their strengths."

"Okay, Boyi, you have to be more careful."

"Old General, please don't worry. Even if I can't win the fight, I can still escape."

"That's fine."

Suo Chao set out with a vanguard of 40,000 troops, riding alone at the front, followed by Zheng Hewen's 40,000-man army. Huangfu Song, stationed in Mo Nan Commandery, coordinated the various defenses and troop movements.

During this period, Suo Chao also had an unexpected surprise. Yan Yan took the initiative to surrender.

With a command score of 85 and a force score of 88, Yan Yan is quite capable. He is one of those military commanders who achieves greatness late in life, and he is now years old.

Yan Yan studied at the Yang Clan Martial Arts Academy, alongside Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan. A while ago, his junior fellow apprentice Gongsun Zan had a promising future, and Liu Bei joined him. Instead of giving up his pride and following his junior, Liu Bei traveled alone to Mo Nan County, where he unwittingly became deputy general to the General of the Northern Guard.

The skill of "knowing yourself and knowing your enemy" is very practical, a skill that is used by a good judge of merit. Suo Chao turned around and glanced at Yan Yan, saying respectfully.

"Brother Yan, I leave the army to you. I'm going to meet the enemy general."

"Okay, General, I'll hold you accountable."

Suo Chao rode forward, spear in hand, the two of them on horseback, their robes fluttering in the wind. He shouted loudly.

"Murong Ke, do you dare to come out and fight?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Murong Ke raised his lips slightly, a hint of a smile, and rode slowly towards him. Suo Chao, like a cheetah, moved swiftly. He knew that only by knowing both the enemy and the self could one win every battle.
