Chapter 236: Grand Court Assembly

Liu Bian pondered for a moment and made up his mind.

These good things must be used first to exert their greatest effect.

Time flowed, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Xiao Longnv and Diao Chan also got along particularly well, and the three women were like sisters.

And during these three days, Liu Bian also spent time with the three.

Early in the morning, Liu Bian reluctantly left Diao Chan's Imperial Consort Palace and, with Li Liangcheng, Dian Wei, and dozens of Huben Army soldiers, arrived at the Court Assembly Hall.

After the officials entered the Court Assembly Hall, they divided into two rows and stood in order according to their official ranks.

With intense reverence, they looked up at Liu Bian on the dragon throne.

"Officials, kneel!"

Li Liangcheng stood in the hall and shouted to the officials.

"We, the subjects, pay respects to Your Majesty, wishing Your Majesty ten thousand years!"

The officials were all solemn, bowing to the ground before Liu Bian and shouting in unison.

"Beloved subjects, rise!"

Liu Bian, sitting on the dragon throne on the high platform, raised his hand and said with majesty.

"We, the subjects, thank Your Majesty!"

The officials shouted and slowly rose.

"If there is anything to report, speak; if not, retire from court!"

Li Liangcheng shouted loudly.

"I have a memorial to report to Your Majesty."

Minister of War Cao Cao immediately stepped out and bowed to Liu Bian.

Seeing it was Cao Cao, Liu Bian also knew that this must be to report the battle situation of the major legions.

Now, it had been twenty-three days since the six major legions and the navy set out, so there must be battle results sent back.

Thinking of this, Liu Bian said to Cao Cao with majesty:

"Proceed!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, since the war to unify the world was launched more than twenty days ago,"

"as of yesterday, Our Great Han Navy, having set out from the Great Han to the east, has already annihilated the Wa Kingdom and some small islands in the ocean."

"Now, the ninety thousand Great Han Navy led by General Gan Ning has arrived at the American continent and is attacking the local tribes of the American continent."

"According to the news sent back by General Gan Ning, the American continent can be pacified in another half month!"

Cao Cao said respectfully to Liu Bian.

"Very well, Gan Ning has done this matter well. After the navy soldiers return in triumph, We will reward them heavily."

Liu Bian praised loudly to the officials.

Subsequently, Cao Cao continued to report the situation of the six major legions to Liu Bian.

"The Qilin Legion led by General Ma Chao and the ten thousand navy led by General Taishi Ci have also arrived at the African continent."

"Because the African continent is far away, at this time, the two of them have only taken down one-sixth of the African continent."

"According to the battle report sent back by General Ma Chao, the entire African continent will still need more than twenty days to be taken down."

"Moreover, according to General Ma Chao's letter, most of the area of the entire African continent is covered by desert, and sometimes the army's marching speed is very slow."

"This is still with the map provided by Your Majesty, otherwise they wouldn't have such speed."

"Moreover, the entire African continent currently does not have a unified country; it is composed of some small kingdoms and tribes."

Cao Cao finished reporting the battle situation of the African continent in one breath.

"Tell Ma Chao and Taishi Ci that the African continent has a harsh environment. Although we have the advantage of the map, they must still be cautious. We will give them another month to take down the African continent."

Liu Bian thought that the African continent indeed had a harsh environment, pondered for a while, and said to Cao Cao.

With one month, it would be enough for the two of them to unify the African continent.

"This subject thanks Your Majesty on behalf of the two generals."

Hearing this, Cao Cao also breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Liu Bian.

He also knew that with the situation of the African continent, taking it down in twenty days was too difficult.

Moreover, the soldiers had traveled such a long distance and were fighting in such high-intensity combat.

Even with cultivation, they would be somewhat unable to bear it.

"Very well, report the situation of the other legions to Us!"

Liu Bian waved his hand slightly at Cao Cao, signaling him.

"This subject obeys the decree!"

"The Xuanwu Legion led by General Zhang Liao, after more than twenty days of fighting, has now successfully annihilated the Xiongnu Royal Court."

"The five million Xiongnu soldiers and civilians have been escorted back to the Great Han by the one hundred thousand Bingzhou army."

"These Xiongnu captives will be discussed by the Inner Cabinet and the Six Ministries regarding their destination."

"Now, General Zhang Liao is leading the Xuanwu Legion to attack the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes in the eastern part of the grassland."

"However, there are not many people in the Xianbei tribe now, and the eastern grassland is still headed by the Wuhuan tribe."

"Now, General Zhang Liao is leading the army to kill the Wuhuan Chanyu Qiliju."

"The Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes are now gasping for breath."

"During this period, Qiliju also sought help from Goguryeo, but they were all intercepted by the Shadow Guards."

"However, Goguryeo has also begun to mobilize its domestic army, intending to attack Youzhou."

Cao Cao finished speaking and looked at Liu Bian calmly.

Now, Youzhou had the one hundred thousand Youzhou army led by Yan Rou stationed there.

Moreover, Yan Rou's cultivation had reached the Houtian Sixth Layer realm.

The one hundred thousand Youzhou army's cultivation had also reached the First-rate Martial General realm.

With such powerful strength, Goguryeo only had ten thousand or so soldiers in the whole country.

These people were not enough for Yan Rou and the others to divide.

Liu Bian, hearing this, didn't take Goguryeo seriously either.

"Goguryeo doesn't need to be bothered with. If they really dare to attack Youzhou, leave it to Yan Rou to deal with."

"Tell Zhang Liao to minimize the slaughter of the Wuhuan and Xianbei people. As long as they surrender, take them all as slaves."

"The Great Han will need many places for labor in the future, and our Great Han people still need to conquer other worlds."

"These alien slaves are the best choice for free labor."

Liu Bian said solemnly to Cao Cao.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Before the generals set out, we had already discussed this matter."

"As long as they lay down their weapons and surrender, we will take them all as slaves."

"It's just that there are too many slaves, which is not easy to manage!"

At this moment, Cao Cao said jokingly to Liu Bian.

One must know that the five million Xiongnu slaves sent to the Great Han earlier had taken them a long time to distribute.

If all these alien people were taken as slaves, the population would be at least tens of millions.

Such a large population was almost catching up to the number of people in the Great Han.

"There is no need to worry about this. As long as we have absolute military force, these slaves will not be able to turn the sky."

"Moreover, the cultivation of our Great Han soldiers will become higher and higher in the future, and these aliens are destined to contribute to the construction of our Great Han."

Liu Bian was not worried about having too many slaves at all.

To be honest, with the strength of these soldiers of the Great Han Empire now,

there was no need to worry about these slaves at all.

Now, the ordinary prefecture and commandery garrison troops all had the strength of First-rate Martial Generals.

And the cultivation of the soldiers of the Great Han's main combat legions had reached the Houtian realm. ===== CHAPTER 237 =====
