Chapter 190

Subsequently, Guo Jia immediately sent the battle report to Liu Bian.

At this time, only a short eight days had passed since they set out on the expedition.

There were still twenty-two days left until the one-month deadline set by Guan Yu.

They also had not expected to be able to annihilate Gongsun Zan and his army in one fell swoop.

As for the remaining four commanderies of Liaodong, no one felt that they would still dare to resist.

Even if they dared to resist, with Yan Rou's 50,000-strong army having cultivated martial arts techniques, pacifying them would still be an easy task.

Luoyang, in the Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace.

At this moment, Liu Bian was watching Diao Chan and Cai Yan sparring with each other.

Standing behind him were the three: Huben Army Commander Dian Wei, Dark Guard Commander Tai'a, and Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng.

"Your Majesty, the strength of the Empresses has already left this subordinate and the others far behind!"

Watching the two women fighting in the arena, Dian Wei said to Liu Bian with a somewhat bitter expression.

After speaking, he cast an envious glance at Diao Chan.

Ever since Diao Chan awakened her constitution last time, her strength had already broken through to the Postnatal Seventh Heaven realm.

As for Dian Wei and the others, they were currently only at the Postnatal Fourth Layer; even among the martial generals, the strongest, Lü Bu, had only just broken through to the Postnatal Fifth Heaven realm a few days ago.

"Hahaha, Evil Come, you don't need to envy the Empresses. Once your constitutions awaken, your strength will also undergo a great improvement."

Liu Bian was somewhat amused by Dian Wei's expression and immediately comforted him.

"Hahaha, that would truly be great!"

Upon hearing this, Dian Wei immediately became happy again.

Just at this moment, Liu Bian also received the battle report sent by Guo Jia.

"Chan'er, Yan'er, you two continue playing; I have matters to attend to."

After Liu Bian said this to the two women who were sparring, he left with Dian Wei and the other two.

"Sister Zhaoji, His Majesty has left, let's go back too!"

The two women who were sparring stopped after hearing Liu Bian's words.

Seeing that Liu Bian had already left, Diao Chan suddenly felt bored and said to Cai Yan.

"I listen to the Empress."

Cai Yan readily agreed upon hearing this.

"Sister Zhaoji, I've told you so many times, when there's no one around, we should address each other as sisters!"

Upon hearing Cai Yan's form of address, Diao Chan immediately pretended to be displeased and said.

"Alright, then I shall be bold and call you 'younger sister' when no one is around!"

Seeing this, Cai Yan also smiled and said to Diao Chan.

"That is as it should be!"

Seeing this, Diao Chan also readily agreed.

From this, one could see that the two of them were getting along very well, and no scheming or backstabbing had occurred.

In the Imperial Study, after Liu Bian arrived with the three men, he couldn't wait to check the battle report sent by Guo Jia.

"Good, worthy of being my Qinglong Army, to have actually pacified the rebellion of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou within a short eight days!"

After seeing the contents of the battle report, Liu Bian couldn't help but say loudly.

This was also somewhat beyond his expectations; according to his own estimates, for such a large place as Youzhou, just traveling through the several commanderies of Liaoxi would take more than ten days.

Not to mention having to lay siege to cities; adding all these up, even one month would be very tight.

He hadn't expected that Guan Yu and Guo Jia, in coordination with Shen Pei, would actually annihilate Gongsun Zan and his main force in a single battle.

As for the handling of the four commanderies of Liaodong mentioned in Guo Jia's battle report, Liu Bian also gave his approval.

As long as Gongsun Zan was dead, the situation in the four commanderies of Liaodong would be exactly as Guo Jia and the others said: they would not dare to resist again.

Now, the only path laid out before them was to open the gates and surrender.

After agreeing to the request of Guo Jia and the others, Liu Bian took Diao Chan and Cai Yan and planned to stroll around Luoyang City.

Having transmigrated for so long, he still hadn't had a good look at Luoyang City.

After finding the two women, Liu Bian took Diao Chan and Cai Yan, followed by Dian Wei, Tai'a, Li Liangcheng, and more than a dozen Huben Army soldiers.

The group wore plain clothes, left the Imperial Palace, and began to stroll along the streets of Luoyang City.

"Your Majesty, this Luoyang City is becoming more and more prosperous now; there are also many more people and merchants on the streets than before!"

Looking at the prosperous Luoyang City, Cai Yan said to Liu Bian with admiration.

At this time in Luoyang City, on both sides of the streets were various street vendors, and the streets were also kept very clean.

"Your Majesty is truly amazing; in just over three short months, Luoyang City has already reached such a scene of prosperity!"

At this moment, Diao Chan, who was leaving the palace for the first time, was also shocked by the scene before her.

She couldn't imagine that such a huge change could be achieved in just three months.

"Hehehe, these are only temporary. In the future, Luoyang City will be the core of the entire world, the most prosperous place in the world!"

"At that time, Luoyang City will be a thousand, ten thousand times more prosperous than it is now!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Bian said to the two women.

This scene was still quite far from his expectations!

"This concubine believes that Your Majesty will certainly be able to achieve it!"

Upon hearing Liu Bian's words, Diao Chan also looked at Liu Bian with a face full of adoration and said.

"This concubine also believes that Your Majesty will certainly be able to achieve it!"

Cai Yan, who was to the side, also said to Liu Bian with a face full of adoration.

The two women had unconditional trust in everything Liu Bian said, and they even began to yearn for and look forward to what Liu Bian had described.

If even Liu Bian couldn't accomplish it in this world, then no one else could.

The group strolled around Luoyang City once and only returned to the Imperial Palace near dusk.

During this time, Liu Bian did not encounter the plot he had seen in novels from his previous life, where a spoiled son of an aristocratic family comes to cause trouble and the male lead ends up saving the beauty.

After all, Liu Bian had previously just purged those aristocratic families that did not obey the Imperial Court's orders.

The aristocratic families that remained now all obediently followed the laws of the Imperial Court.

Moreover, the sons of the clans had all been warned by their elders, so no one would jump out to cause trouble at this time.

Furthermore, ever since Liu Bian agreed to let the hundred officials pass down martial arts cultivation techniques to their family members last time, these people were all busy teaching their family members to cultivate; how could they have time to tell them to go out and cause trouble?

Youzhou, Youbeiping Commandery, inside the Commandery Governor's Mansion in Shangyin City; just as everyone was conversing, Guo Jia suddenly said to the crowd:

"Everyone, a letter has arrived from His Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quieted down and looked at Guo Jia with solemn expressions.

"His Majesty has agreed to General Guan's request; the remaining four commanderies of Liaodong in Youzhou are now entrusted to you, General Yan Rou!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Rou immediately replied solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty and all the lords; this subordinate will certainly not let His Majesty and all the lords down!"

Seeing this, everyone nodded with satisfaction.

Subsequently, Guo Jia continued:

"As for the handling of Guan Jing and the others, since they dared to incite Gongsun Zan's rebellion, there is no need for them to exist!"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia's tone was also filled with coldness.
