Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

The head of the Zhen Yi family was 26 years old this year, while his wife, Zhang, was three years younger. Though still in his prime, the Zhen family head was already a dying candle in the wind. Furthermore, the long years of running the family business had left him with a deep-seated illness. Without prompt treatment, he would likely pass away soon.

"Master Zhen, I have a few words to say, but I don't know whether I should say them or not." Suo Chao said.

"Oh! General, what do you want to say?" Zhen Yi asked.

"I think the head of the Zhen family seems to have a hidden illness. If it is not cured, his life may be in danger." Suo Chao said.

When Zhen Yi saw that Suo Chao cured his eldest son's chronic illness, his heart was filled with hope.

"Oh, young general, can you cure my illness?" Zhen Yi asked.

"Yes. I am sure, but I need your full cooperation." Suo Chao said.

"Of course. I'll have to trouble you, General."

Suo Chao used his miraculous acupuncture techniques, smoothly and effortlessly conditioning Zhen Yi's body. Afterward, he prescribed several medicinal herbs for conditioning. Some tonified Qi and blood, some nourished the kidneys, and some tonified the liver. He also urged Zhen Yi to abstain from sex.

"Master Zhen, you still need half a year to recuperate and must not indulge in sensual pleasures." Suo Chao touched his head and said a little embarrassedly.

"General Suo, your medical skills are truly amazing." Zhen Yi blushed, but he felt as if he had returned to his youth, no longer feeling panicky, short of breath, or weak.

"Thank you, young general, for saving my life!" Zhen Yi said excitedly.

"Big brother, do you want a wife? This is my eldest sister Zhen Jiang! She is nine years old this year." Zhen Yu on the side teased.

His eldest sister Zhen Jiang always bullied him. If he married her off, wouldn't he be so happy in the future? He had heard that girls would not live in their parents' home for long after they got married.

"My elder sister is beautiful, gentle and sensible. How about we arrange a baby marriage first. Then I will be your brother-in-law." Zhen Yu thought happily.

When Zhen Jiang saw his brother's actions, an expression of anger appeared on his face and he glared at him fiercely.

"Brother, you were in poor health before, and I always gave in to you. You'd better be careful in the future!" Zhen Jiang said angrily.

"Sister, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!" Zhen Yu begged for mercy.

"Hehe, big brother, my second sister Zhen Tuo is also very good. She is only six years old and very cute. You can take her back as a child bride!" Zhen Yu said to Suo Chao with a smile.

Suo Chao's face showed a helpless expression, and he shook his head helplessly. Zhang also felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

"Young General, please don't mind my son being so ignorant." Zhang quickly apologized to Suo Chao.

"It's okay. Young Master Zhen Yu is innocent and naive. We hit it off right away." Suo Chao said with a smile.

"Haha, that's great. It's my son's honor." Zhen Yi said.

"Yu'er, don't be rude. Your elder sister and second younger sister are still young." Zhang scolded.

"Yes, thank you for your love, brother Zhen Yu. Don't tease me, your brother. If you want, I can teach you a few tricks." Suo Chao said with a smile.

"Really? Big brother, are you willing to teach me martial arts?" Zhen Yu asked excitedly.

Suo Chao kept his word and taught Zhen Yu the three forms of the Heavenly Dragon Halberd Technique. He also used acupuncture with golden needles to open up the Ren and Du meridians for the eldest son of the Zhen family. Zhen Yu's future achievements depended entirely on his own luck.

The next day, the sun was shining like broken gold, and the breeze gently caressed my face.

Suo Chao and Zhen Yi met again to continue discussing the details of the cooperation.

"Master Zhen, regarding matters concerning business cooperation, you can send your trusted people to find Generals Liu Dao and Wang Jie. Here is my handwritten letter." Suo Chao said earnestly.

"Okay! Little General." Zhen Yi nodded in response.

After the two of them had made their decision, Suo Chao resolutely stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Master Zhen, I have urgent business to attend to. I must return to Yunzhong County immediately." Zhen Yi immediately stood up and personally escorted Suo Chao out the door. The Zhen family members also saw him off.

Zhen Yi stood at the door, staring at Suo Chao's back as he walked away, feeling a thousand emotions in his heart:

"This boy Suo Chao is young and promising, just like the rising sun. He will become a great man in the future."

Suo Chao left his beloved horse to Zhen Yu, who loved the horse very much.

"Brother Zhen Yu, you must not forget our agreement!"

"I haven't forgotten. Big brother, I will definitely practice hard."

Under the brilliant sunlight, Suo Chao's figure loomed even taller and more majestic. Unleashing his divine speed, he sped towards the Youzhou border like a flash of lightning. Zhen Yi gazed at his back, her heart overflowing with anticipation and blessings.

Time flew by, and two days passed in a flash. Suo Chao rode back to Yunzhong County at full speed, finally reuniting with Zheng Hewen. He ordered 30,000 troops to Shanggu County. By then, the entire war situation was as volatile as the wind and clouds, unpredictable.

Shangjun Governor Gongsun Zan dispatched an army of 12,000 men, accompanied by Liu Bei's four brothers. He ordered his lieutenants, Tian Yu and Yan Gang, to lead 6,000 men, while he himself led 6,000 volunteers. The army set out from Shangjun and marched towards Daijun.

Liu Yu also quickly dispatched troops and assembled an army of 15,000, ready to fight at any time, ready to support Gongsun Zan's army heading towards Dai County.

Upon hearing the urgent battle in Zhuo, Taishi Ci of Dingxiang Commandery immediately assembled 12,000 elite soldiers and marched day and night to Zhuo. He knew the stakes of this battle were high, and his anxiety burned as he wished he could grow wings and fly to the battlefield.

Lü Bu personally led 5,000 elite soldiers, who, like a pack of hungry tigers, charged towards Zhuo County with all their might. These elite soldiers and generals were eager to fight, their morale soaring! By this point, a total of 74,000 troops had been dispatched from Bingzhou, all eager to fight, their morale soaring!

Two days ago, Huangfu Song dispatched 2 troops to attack Youzhou. of them were sent to Zhuojun, with Huangfu Song in charge personally. The remaining troops, led by his deputy general Yan Zhong, were responsible for attacking Guangyangjun.

The armies from all directions marched towards Youzhou in a mighty force, like a surging torrent, majestic and unstoppable, converging into an indestructible and powerful force, bringing unprecedented pressure to the enemy!

"General Murong, 220,000 Han troops are approaching the city of Youzhou. What should we do?" Yu Lidi asked worriedly with a frown on his face.

"General Yuwen, in your opinion, how should we respond now?" Murong Chui looked at Yuwen Tai, his eyes full of expectation.

Yuwen Tai was calm and composed, and said calmly:

"First, we must establish contact with the Mijia and Suli tribes, ordering them to strengthen their armaments and immediately dispatch troops to Youzhou. We will then be on high alert and fully prepared to defeat Huangfu Song's main force."

"Secondly, we should quickly ask the Xianbei royal court to send reinforcements." After saying this, Yuwen Tai turned to look at Tuoba Tao and asked slowly:

"General Tuoba, do you have anything to add to this?"

I saw that Tuo Taojun had a heavy face, frowned, and answered worriedly:

"General Yuwen is absolutely right. Huangfu Song is indeed a formidable opponent. He just annihilated the Yellow Turban Rebellion and achieved great military success. Now he is in the prime of his life, with an imposing and unstoppable aura."

"In Bingzhou, generals such as Lu Bu, Suo Chao, Taishi Ci and Gongsun Zan are all people with superb martial arts and outstanding abilities." After saying this, Tuoba Tao couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Well! General Tuoba's analysis is indeed accurate. But the current situation is so tense, how should we deal with it?" Murong Chui frowned, his face full of worry, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Murong Chui raised his head, looked around at the generals, and then said slowly:

"Generals, our army should march to the border of Youzhou, hold our ground and await reinforcements, and look for an opportunity to burn the Han army's food and supplies."

"At the same time, no one is allowed to leave the city to fight without permission. If the enemy attempts to provoke a fight, you must think twice before acting."

"Yes!" All the generals responded in unison, their voices loud and full of confidence and determination.
