Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Chapter 68 A combination of kindness and power

Suo Chao activated the tenth move of the Divine Nine Wonders. This time, he restrained his true energy, using only 10% of his strength, injuring the Yellow Turban soldiers who were attempting to escape. Suo Chao channeled his true energy, his voice like thunder, and shouted loudly.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Anyone who attempts to escape will die!"

Suo Chao's divine movement, coupled with his swift footwork, was like a demon descending into the world.

The Yellow Turban soldiers were stunned and frightened to the point of being unable to move.

"Good man, those who rebelled against the government always met a miserable end. They are not fools."

Suo Chao slew those Yellow Turban generals who attempted to resist one by one, and those who remained stubborn were transported to the captive world of Domain D. Although the transfer efficiency was relatively low, the shock was unprecedented.

"Oh my god! Great and virtuous teacher, save me!"

"Oh my god! What the hell is this?!"

"Mom! I want to go home!"

"My children! Daddy is in trouble this time, and there's no going back! Thinking about you calling other men daddy, it breaks my heart!"

......

Suo Chao calmed the noisy Yellow Turban Army and shouted again.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Anyone who attempts to escape will die!"

Over 7 Yellow Turban soldiers laid down their weapons. Looking at the mountain of weapons, Suo Chao activated his sword domain, storing the pile into System A.

"This general is truly a god!"

"Yes! In the blink of an eye, all our weapons disappeared."

Suo Chao continued.

"I am General Suo Chao of Zhenbei. I will promptly treat the wounded soldiers. You are all poor people, so I will not make things difficult for you."

"Really? My brother's leg is injured. If he doesn't get timely treatment, his leg will be useless!"

“Once a word is spoken, it’s hard to chase it back!”

"If you can really cure my brother, I am willing to go home and no longer participate in the uprising!"

"Yes! And my cousin."

......

Suo Chao sighed helplessly.

"You are all Han people. You rebelled because you couldn't survive."

"I hope that those of you who are willing to return home and no longer participate in the rebellion will be given 50 kilograms of grain."

Even with the Great Sage, they still didn't have enough to eat or wear. The Yellow Turbans were too numerous, and all the good things were taken by the old believers and the generals. He fought every day, barely surviving.

"Really?"

"If I had 50 kilograms of food, the hungry children at home wouldn't have starved to death!"

"Children are innocent!"

"If you are willing to join Mo Nan County, you will be given land and housing there, and food and seeds will be distributed for free. My wish is to build a peaceful, prosperous and powerful Han Dynasty."

"The world is big, and we need a lot of people! I don't want everyone to kill each other. I sincerely hope that you can join us."

Hearing this, the Yellow Turban soldiers were tempted. They had long heard of such a policy in Mo Nan County. However, many were afraid of being deceived and did not dare to go out.

Just like before the time travel, many people said that betrothal gifts were cheaper outside of Jiangxi, but the Jiangxi natives didn't want to leave. Even if they believed it, they were unwilling to leave their familiar circles. No matter how much they tried, this was where they grew up. The outside world was too complex, and they were too kind-hearted to have the confidence to grasp it.

Suo Chao looked at the restless Yellow Turban soldiers around him and continued.

"The Yellow Turban rebels are colluding with the Xianbei barbarians to overthrow our Han regime. Their intentions are ill-intentioned. I hope you will repent and stop aiding and abetting their atrocities."

"What? Is there such a thing?"

"While you were besieging Shangjun and Dingxiangjun, a 20-strong Xianbei army was besieging our Han border fortress."

"I don't want to betray the Han!"

"How could the Great and Good Master do this?"

"That's absolutely true. I don't want the people of the Han Dynasty to kill each other."

Suo Chao, who was lost in thought, raised his head and said loudly:

"I guarantee with my character that everything I said is true!"

There was a commotion in the crowd and the soldiers began to whisper.

At this time, an older soldier stood up and said:

"We believe in General Zhenbei! But we are poor people with no skills. We don't know what we can do when we go back."

Suo Chao smiled and said:

"As long as you are willing to work hard, Mo Nan County will provide you with various opportunities. Whether it is farming, working, or doing business, you can support yourself and your family."

When the soldiers heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.

Suo Chao saw this and struck while the iron was hot:

"Come, let us work together for the peace and prosperity of the Han Dynasty!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and pointed into the distance, as if painting a beautiful blueprint.

At the end of the Battle of Dingxiang, Zhang Xiu and Xun You secured Shangjun after a narrow victory over Zhang Liang's left wing. Fearing that Suo Chao would cut off their retreat, Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao led a 7-man army to join forces with General Zhang Bao.

The crisis in Dingxiang County was resolved, and the offensive and defensive battles in the northern border towns became a stalemate. Suo Chao bid farewell to the prefect, Tan Fang. He led 7 captives in an orderly retreat to Monan County. These Yellow Turban captives also wanted to see the true situation in Monan County.

When the Yellow Turban captives arrived in Monan County, they were greeted by a scene of prosperity. The streets were clean, shops lined the streets, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. They were amazed, and their doubts gradually dispelled.

“Is this a paradise on earth?”

"Yes! The people here never worry about food and clothing, and they can keep the treasure chests they dig up."

Suo Chao took them to visit farmlands, workshops, and schools, showing them the achievements of Monan County's development. The soldiers expressed their willingness to stay in Monan County and contribute to building a better homeland.

"General, thank you for not abandoning us. We are willing to stay!"

"Yes, I am also willing to stay and build a beautiful and powerful Han Dynasty!"

Suo Chao also held training courses for them, teaching them various skills and knowledge. These soldiers studied hard and gradually adapted to their new life.

During their time in Mo'nan County, these former Yellow Turban soldiers felt warmth and care. They understood that only peace and unity could bring prosperity to the country. Consequently, they decided to make Mo'nan County their home and create a better future with their own hands.

"General, thank you for taking us in! Once our lives are better, we will bring our families over."

"Sir, I have to go back first and bring my family over! I hope the general will treat everyone equally then!"

"You are always welcome here."

The Eastern Han Dynasty had 105 prefectures and counties, each with an average population of around 50. Suo Chao, relying on his talent recruitment policy, managed to absorb 50 permanent residents into Mo Nan Prefecture. Adding 7 Xianbei captives, the total population was around 60.

Suo Chao was in urgent need of population, and with the help of high-yield crops, he wanted to expand the population of the Han Dynasty to one billion as soon as possible. Therefore, a vigorous policy to encourage childbirth was introduced.

Have three children and enjoy 30 years of tax exemption! Free education and medical care.

Give birth to five children and receive a lifetime tax exemption! Free education and medical care. Awarded the title of "Heroic Model Family." The government provides free elderly care and hosts annual birthday banquets for the elderly members of these families.

For a time, the birthing boom in Monan County was in full swing. Babies were born every day. To promote healthcare, Suo Chao built numerous clinics and trained doctors and medical staff.

Suo Chao arranged for the Yellow Turban soldiers to live in newly built residential areas and assigned them jobs. Some became farmers, while others learned crafts and began a new life. Their treatment was much better than that of the Xianbei captives.

In order to further motivate the Xianbei captives, Suo Chao also formulated a rule for evaluating advanced and outstanding individuals. Xianbei captives who met the required points could regain their free status and join the Han household registration. Their families could also enjoy all the benefits of the Han people.

As time went on, Mo'nan County became more and more prosperous. These Yellow Turban soldiers gradually integrated into the local society and became part of Mo'nan County.

Suo Chao's reputation spread throughout the Han Dynasty, and more people came to visit him, and the population of Mo'nan County continued to increase.
