Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Suo Chao had been preparing for battle for many days, and everything was ready. He ordered Yan Yan, who had just returned from Liang Province, to defend Monan County, while he himself led 30,000 elite troops to Yunzhong County. Mr. Zheng also joined the army.

"General Yan, did your trip to Liangzhou go smoothly?" Suo Chao asked, his eyes revealing concern and expectation.

"Reply General! Everything is considered a victory!" Yan Yan saluted.

"I have given your letter to Ling Zheng, the captain of the Qiang Guard, and repeatedly reminded him to be careful of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou of the Qiang people." Yan Yan's voice was full of confidence and determination.

"Well! Well done." Suo Chao nodded with satisfaction.

"General Yan, the recovery of Youzhou and the safety of Mo'nan County depend on you." Suo Chao's words were full of trust and expectation.

"If anything happens in Mo'nan County, you can ask Zhao Yun in Shuofang County for help." Suo Chao reminded.

"General, don't worry. I will do my best!" Yan Yan said with a bow.

An army of 30,000 marched towards Youzhou in a mighty force, with Suo Chao and Zheng Hewen riding at the front of the team.

Suo Chao was riding on a gray warhorse, wearing heavy armor and holding a spear, looking heroic. His eyes were firm and sharp, revealing his desire for victory.

"Sir! Are you used to the long-distance raids of the army?" Suo Chao looked at Zheng Hewen beside him and said.

Zheng Hewen, meanwhile, rides atop a white steed, dressed in a turquoise robe, his sword slung at his waist. He appears elegant and graceful. His demeanor is calm and composed, a hint of a smile on his lips, as if filled with confidence in the coming battle. His movements are graceful and effortless, forming a stark contrast to Suo Chao's agility.

"General, you are thoughtful. This little effort is nothing." Zheng Hewen replied excitedly, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would not let this kindness down.

"Mr. Zheng, you will first follow the army to Yunzhong County and station troops on the border of Youzhou." Suo Chao continued, his voice loud and powerful.

"I obey your orders!" The two had worked together for several months and had already developed a tacit understanding. Zheng Hewen clasped his fists and accepted the order, his voice filled with firmness and decisiveness.

When Governor Ding Yuan heard that Huangfu Song was planning to retake Youzhou, he also responded enthusiastically. He summoned his generals and held a meeting in his tent. He ordered Lü Bu, the prefect of Wuyuan Commandery, Taishi Ci of Dingxiang Commandery, and Gongsun Zan of Shang Commandery to raise troops to support the Youzhou campaign.

"Generals, these are the corresponding combat orders," said Ding Yuan.

"Generals Ran Min and Zhao Yun, the defense of Bingzhou is now in your hands." Ding Yuan said again.

"I obey your command!" Ran Min and Zhao Yun responded in unison.

"I obey your command!" Lu Bu, Taishi Ci, Gongsun Zan and others also accepted the order.

Suo Chao left the army and traveled to Hebei to search for Zhang Jue's daughter, Zhang Meiniang, who was eight years old and lived with Zhang Jue's wives and concubines.

Under Zhang Jue's guidance, Suo Chao followed the map and soon found Zhang Meiniang's secret hiding place.

Suo Chao knocked on the door gently and asked:

"Is anyone home?"

A woman's voice came from inside the door:

"Who are you? I don't know you." The woman dressed as a village woman asked in a scrutinizing tone.

Suo Chao showed Zhang Jiao's token and said:

"Oh! I am a friend from afar. This is a token of my love."

When the woman saw the token, tears welled up in her eyes and she asked in a trembling voice:

"Little brother, I apologize for the offense just now. Where did you get this jade pendant?"

Suo Chao replied:

"I am a friend of the Great Sage Master. He asked me to come to you."

At this time, a pink little girl ran out, about seven or eight years old.

"Little brother, were you sent by daddy to pick me up?" the little girl asked, blinking her big eyes.

"Yes, sister, do you miss daddy?" Suo Chao squatted down and stroked the little girl's head.

"Brother, of course Mei Niang misses daddy. Do you know where daddy is?" the little girl asked anxiously.

"Little sister, brother knows." Suo Chao said with a smile.

"If there is a chance, sister, would you like to see daddy?" Suo Chao continued to ask.

"I haven't seen my dad for a long time. He's too busy!" Little Mei Niang looked resentful.

"Brother, is this true? Can I really see daddy?" The little girl showed an expression of surprise on her face.

"Of course!" Suo Chao nodded affirmatively.

The woman beside him was a little confused. She didn't understand why Suo Chao said that and thought he was comforting Zhang Mei Niang. Suo Chao didn't explain too much. After obtaining their consent, he brought Zhang Jiao's wife and children into the D world.

In the system dimension, in World D, Zhang Mei Niang was very excited to see her father.

"It's really Daddy, little brother didn't lie to me!" Zhang Meiniang shouted excitedly.

"Daughter! Daddy misses you." Zhang Jue hugged Zhang Meiniang tightly, tears in his eyes.

The woman beside him couldn't help but burst into tears. Her surname was Qi, and she and Zhang Jue had been through many ups and downs together, never leaving him. Zhang Jue encountered many setbacks in his official career, but she always stayed by his side.

"Husband, is it really you?" Qi asked in a trembling voice.

"Madam, it's me." Zhang Jue said softly.

"After hearing the news that you died in battle, I cried every day and hid everywhere with my daughter, fearing that we would be discovered." Qi burst into tears.

"Madam, you have suffered a lot these years." Zhang Jue looked at Qi with heartache.

"Daddy, mommy, why are you crying?" Zhang Meiniang sensibly helped Qi wipe away her tears.

"Daughter, Daddy is fine. These are tears of happiness." Zhang Jue stroked Zhang Meiniang's head and forced a smile.

"Really? Little brother is really amazing. It's like magic. He let us see daddy in an instant." Zhang Meiniang said naively.

"Haha, yes, it's really amazing." Zhang Jiao showed a bitter smile on his face.

......

Suo Chao had no interest in gossiping about the joy of the long-awaited reunion. He simply listened silently, his face expressionless, as if none of this concerned him. When he learned he had arrived in Zhongshan, he suddenly felt a strong desire to pay a visit to the Wuji Zhen family. In his eyes, the Zhen family was a wealthy and powerful merchant, a vital force that could not be ignored.

Today, Suo Chao didn't use his magical powers, instead opting to ride a steed, enjoying the thrill of a gallop. His figure was straight and agile, and he sat upright, exuding a heroic presence. His eyes were focused and determined, revealing the importance he attached to this visit.

With a simple flick of his whip, the horse shot off like an arrow. His figure rose and fell with the horse's gallop, blending with it, as if becoming part of the world. His movements were skillful and natural, and each flick of the whip was just right, neither too forceful nor too gentle.

The surrounding scenery added a touch of vibrant color to his actions. Beneath the blue sky and white clouds, the maple forest blazed like a sea of ​​fire, while the autumn breeze blew, bringing a chill. In the distance, the winding mountains undulated, connecting with the sky, forming a majestic and magnificent painting. Against this backdrop, Suo Chao's figure seemed both small and magnificent.
