Chapter 262: Reporting

"I truly did not expect that the Great Han Empire would come from another world."

"I did not expect that His Majesty would be an Immortal God descended; long live His Majesty! Long live the Great Han!"

"Long live His Majesty! Long live the Great Han!"

This kind of visual and spiritual impact was too huge for these ordinary common people.

At this moment, whether it was the Song people who had already defected to the Great Han or those who were still watching, they were all filled with awe for Liu Bian and the Great Han.

And those who had long defected to the Great Han felt an even stronger sense of pride and belonging.

"Your Majesty, please follow this subordinate into the city!"

After stationing the army outside the city, Lü Bu stepped forward and said respectfully to Liu Bian.

"Hmm."

Liu Bian raised his eyes and responded softly to Lü Bu.

Subsequently, a dragon carriage driven by nine sturdy horses arrived before them.

Liu Bian took a step, and his body arrived on the dragon carriage.

The nine sturdy horses immediately took vigorous steps and drove toward Lin'an City.

Soon, the group arrived at the former Song Imperial Palace.

From now on, this place would serve as Liu Bian's temporary palace in the Shen Diao World.

"This subject and others pay respects to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

In the Grand Hall of the Imperial Palace, a group of civil and martial officials bowed respectfully to Liu Bian in unison.

"Beloved subjects, rise!"

Liu Bian, full of majesty, waved his hand at the crowd.

"This subject and others thank Your Majesty!"

After the group rose, they stood in two rows, civil and martial, looking at Liu Bian on the dragon throne with awe.

However, the martial generals in the hall were clearly much more numerous than the civil officials.

"Fengxiao, you first tell this Emperor in detail about the current situation."

Liu Bian said with authority to Guo Jia in the row of civil officials.

"This subject obeys the decree!"

"Your Majesty, since our army descended upon this world, it has been twenty days."

"With the help of General Lü Wende of Xiangyang City, Tribute Li Mochou, and the 150,000-strong army of Xiangyang City that Your Majesty left for us, our Great Han Empire has successfully annihilated the Song Kingdom."

"Currently, the cities of the Song Kingdom, except for Jingjiang Prefecture and Jianning Prefecture in the south which have not been recovered, have all surrendered to our Great Han."

"And according to this subject's speculation, the cities in these two prefectures should also surrender to our Great Han; currently, it is just because the two prefectures are too far from Lin'an, and the news spread late."

"And our army, except for the 150,000 Xiangyang troops who have reached a thousand light injuries, has not had a single death."

"The 100,000-strong Divine Martial Legion has not had a single person injured."

"Currently, we, the Great Han, can be said to have already controlled 90% of the former Song Kingdom's territory."

"Song Emperor Zhao Yun and a group of civil and martial officials were all captured alive by General Lü."

"The Song Kingdom's original martial generals, such as Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie, and Lu Xiufu, because they could not bear the suppression of Zhao Yun and the treacherous prime ministers Jia Sidao and Ding Daquan, finally defected to our Great Han."

"And the Jianghu people of the Song Kingdom have not yet been seen resisting."

"One of the Five Absolutes, Hong Qi, even brought his disciples, Guo Jing and his wife Huang Rong, to join our Great Han Empire."

"As for our Great Han's current cities, the government affairs of the major cities have not been sorted out, and the farmland for the common people has only been distributed in cities like Xiangyang, Ezhou, Anqing Prefecture, and Jiankang Prefecture."

"Even in Lin'an City, currently only half of the common people have been allocated farmland."

"However, now that Your Majesty has brought Wenruo, these matters finally have someone to handle!"

Speaking to the end, Guo Jia clearly let out a long sigh of relief, and his whole person was much more relaxed.

Heaven knows what kind of days he had been living during this period.

Every day there were piles of things waiting for him to handle.

The most critical thing was that he did not have anyone who could share the burden.

Now, with Xun Yu's arrival, his dark days were finally coming to an end.

At this time, Liu Bian, seeing Guo Jia's expression, was also somewhat amused.

During this period, asking Guo Jia to handle these government affairs had indeed been hard on him.

This guy, when he was in the main realm, had never handled government affairs.

He did not expect that this time, coming to the Shen Diao World, all government affairs would be handled by him alone.

However, these things did not stump Guo Jia; he just simply did not like doing these things.

"Hahaha, Fengxiao has worked hard during this period; from now on, these things will be left to Wenruo and Wenhe and the others."

Liu Bian looked at Guo Jia, who had a bitter expression, and could not help but laugh.

"This subject thanks Your Majesty!"

Guo Jia, upon hearing this, was overjoyed.

Subsequently, Liu Bian said to Xun Yu and Jia Xu:

"Wenruo, Wenhe, from now on, the government affairs of the Great Han in this world will be left to you two to handle."

"All policies must be the same as those in the Great Han's main realm; they are all subjects of our Great Han and must not be treated differently."

Xun Yu and Jia Xu, upon hearing this, immediately responded respectfully to Liu Bian:

"This subject obeys the decree; please rest assured, Your Majesty, this subject and the other will definitely not fail Your Majesty's trust!"

Seeing this, Liu Bian also nodded with satisfaction.

"This Emperor is still very reassured by the two beloved subjects handling things!"

"This subject thanks Your Majesty for the trust!"

Subsequently, Liu Bian said to Guo Jia again:

"Fengxiao, as for Jingjiang Prefecture and Jianning Prefecture in the south, this Emperor gives you ten days; if they do not surrender to the Great Han, then call the army to go there."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this subject has already dispatched personnel to these two places."

Guo Jia, upon hearing this, immediately said to Liu Bian.

"That is very good!"

"As for the Jianghu forces of the Song Kingdom, leave them to the Hall of Worship to handle."

"Tribute Li, this matter will be left to you to handle; everyone in the Hall of Worship will be left to you to command."

"Also, this Emperor confers upon Hong Qi and Guo Jing the title of Fourth-Rank Tribute of the Great Han Empire's Hall of Worship, enjoying the Fourth-Rank National Fortune of the Great Han."

Following Liu Bian's words, the National Fortune Golden Dragon manifested.

"Roar!"

Subsequently, three strands of National Fortune power descended toward Li Mochou, Hong Qi, and Guo Jing.

Before the three could react to this shocking scene, they felt a massive amount of spiritual power merge into their bodies.

The three could not care about anything else and immediately began to circulate their cultivation to refine it.

Before long, following the refinement of the National Fortune power, the strength of the three all broke through by one layer of heaven.

Li Mochou and Guo Jing both broke through to the Innate Third Heaven.

Even Hong Qi broke through by one layer of heaven, and his strength reached the Innate Fifth Heaven.

With such strength, among the Great Han's group of martial generals, it is estimated that only Lü Bu could fight him.

"This subject and others thank Your Majesty!"

After breaking through, the three immediately bowed respectfully to Liu Bian.

At this time, Hong Qi and Guo Jing's hearts were even more incomparably fortunate.

Such methods were simply unfathomable.

The manifestation of the National Fortune Golden Dragon shocked the group of people in the Shen Diao World.

They were once again shocked by the Great Han's power and Liu Bian's power and mystery.

"As for Huang Rong, when you break through to the Innate Realm, this Emperor will confer upon you the title of Tribute of the Hall of Worship."

"The Hall of Worship of our Great Han Empire only allows those whose strength reaches the Innate Realm to become the lowest Fourth-Rank Tribute." ===== CHAPTER 263 =====
