Chapter 509: 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 passed, and three days went by in the blink of an eye.

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

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

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

After the officials entered the Court Assembly Hall, they stood in two rows in order of official rank.

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 stood up.

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

Li Liangcheng shouted loudly.

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

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

Seeing it was Cao Cao, Liu Bian knew that he was about 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 results.

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 twenty days ago,"

"as of yesterday, our Great Han Navy, marching east from the Great Han, has already annihilated the Woguo and some small islands in the ocean."

"Now, the 90,000 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 a month!"

Cao Cao said respectfully to Liu Bian.

"Good, Gan Ning has done well. When the navy soldiers return, I 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 10,000 navy led by General Taishi Ci have also arrived at the African continent."

"Due to the long distance to the African continent, at this time, they have only conquered 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 conquered."

"Moreover, according to General Ma Chao's letter, most of the 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, but 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's environment is harsh. Although we have the advantage of the map, they must be cautious. I will give them another month to conquer the African continent."

Liu Bian thought that the African continent's environment was indeed harsh and pondered for a while before saying to Cao Cao.

One month was enough for the two of them to unify the African continent.

"This subordinate 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, it was too difficult to conquer it in twenty days.

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

Even with cultivation, they would be somewhat exhausted.

"Enough, report the situation of the other legions to me!"

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

"This subordinate 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 100,000 Bingzhou troops."

"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, the current Xianbei tribe does not have many people, and the eastern grassland is still headed by the Wuhuan tribe."

"Currently, General Zhang Liao is leading the army to kill the Wuhuan Chanyu Qiu Liju."

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

"During this period, Qiu Liju 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 100,000 Youzhou troops led by Yan Rou guarding it.

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

The 100,000 Youzhou troops also reached the realm of first-rate martial generals.

With such powerful strength, Goguryeo only had a little over 100,000 troops in the whole country.

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

Liu Bian heard this and did not take Goguryeo seriously.

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

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

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

"These foreign 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 with so many slaves, it's not easy to manage!"

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

One must know, the five million Xiongnu slaves sent to the Great Han earlier took them a long time to distribute.

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

Such a large population was almost catching up to the

"There is no need to worry about that; as long as we possess absolute force, these slaves will never be able to stir up trouble."

"Moreover, the cultivation of my Great Han soldiers will only grow higher in the future; these foreign tribes are destined to play a role in the construction of my Great Han."

Liu Bian was not in the least bit troubled by the increase in slaves.

To be honest, given the current strength of the Great Han Empire's soldiers.

There was simply no need to worry about these slaves.

Nowadays, the ordinary garrison troops of the prefectures already possessed the strength of first-rate martial generals.

And the soldiers of the Great Han's main combat legions had all reached the Postnatal Realm.
