I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

When Wang Lie mentioned this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Unlike the short-sighted Gongsun Kang, he saw early on that it was a foregone conclusion that Cao Mao would rule the world and inherit the Grand Ceremony.

If it were him and Liang Mao, they would naturally not hesitate to submit to Cao Mao as early as Sun Quan's fall, so as to preserve their prosperity and wealth!

But Gongsun Kang is so reckless.

And they have always valued loyalty, so they had no choice but to help him, to fight against the Dragon Empire.

"Eating the king's salary is a matter of being loyal to the king."

Liang Mao patted Wang Lie on the shoulder, sighed,

"Let's just do our duty well, and the rest is up to God's will!"

……

December of the first year of Shenlong.

Gongsun Kang, the prefect of Liaodong, killed the court envoys. Under the slogan of restoring the great Han, he gathered [-] soldiers and horses, together with [-] Fuyu, Goguryeo and other foreign troops, and brazenly rebelled.

In January of the following year, General Pang Tong led an army of 20 dragons and set off from Youzhou to attack the Liaodong area eastward.

Due to the freezing weather and Gongsun Kang's terrain advantage, the two sides won each other, and the battle fell into a stalemate for a while.

……

In the middle of winter, the sea breeze can be described as bitingly cold.

Cao Mao stood on the deck, looking at the boundless sea in the distance.

Standing behind him, apart from Dian Wei and Xu Chu, there were several immature-looking young generals.

They are Guan Ping and Guan Xing, the sons of Guan Yu, Zhang Bao, the son of Zhang Fei, and Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong, the sons of Zhao Yun.

With the unification of China, even brave generals like Guan Yu and Lu Bu will inevitably grow older.

Cao Mao sympathized with their hard work and was loyal to him, so he ordered them to guard the states and reward them with titles to avoid the pain of traveling around.

At the same time, the sons of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others also began to emerge.

Under their entreaty, Cao Mao took Guan Ping, Guan Xing and others with him when he went to the peninsula this time, also in order to train a new generation of generals.

"The weather is so cold, Your Majesty should not be exposed to the cold wind."

Guan Ping on the side said respectfully.

Cao Mao glanced at him, smiled lightly and said,
"Tanzhi (Guan Ping's name), I'm not old enough to be old, the mere cold wind is nothing."

Guan Ping touched the back of his head, grinned, and said nothing more.

At this moment, Cao Mao suddenly noticed that the shadow of the land could be vaguely seen ahead.

He turned his head and said to Gan Ning not far away,

"Xingba, but are you going to the peninsula?"

Gan Ning took a closer look, and hurried over,

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the peninsula is right ahead."

"That's good. According to the plan beforehand, send someone to meet the Sanhan people first."

"Here!"

Gan Ning took the order and left.

Not long after, a lion-class warship broke away from the mighty Dragon Kingdom Navy Fleet and headed straight for the land.

There are so many forces in the current peninsula region.

In the north, there is the Dongyi Kingdom established by Lelang County, which belonged to the Han Dynasty, and the foreign barbarians.

The southern region is controlled by three small tribes, they are Mahan, Chenhan, and Bianhan, collectively known as Sanhan.

Among them, Mahan was the most powerful of the three Hans, and was supported by the Three Hans as the "King Chen".

Cao Mao crossed the sea by boat this time, intending to land from the south of the peninsula, pass through Lelang County, and then attack Gongsun Kang in Liaodong.

Because of this, his first step was to take down the three Koreans.

If the Sanhan people were willing to surrender, then Cao Mao would naturally treat them favorably and turn them into citizens of the Dragon Empire in a gentle way.

But if they don't know how to be interesting, he doesn't mind taking the three Koreans first.

Cao Mao's narrowed eyes shot out a frightening cold light!
……

Horses on the pier in South Korea.

The people of Mahan who were busy preparing to go fishing suddenly stopped what they were doing.

They stood there, staring blankly into the distance.

I saw a warship flying the flag of the Dragon Empire galloping from afar!

When there was still some distance from the shore, the Lion-class warship stopped and lowered a raft from above.

But it was Ma Chao himself who led a few Longguo soldiers and boarded the shore slowly with wooden paddles.

Sanhan lived in a remote place, no matter in terms of culture, economy, or politics, it was far inferior to Goguryeo, not to mention the Dragon Empire.

These Mahan people are even more ignorant. Have they ever seen such a majestic lion-class warship and such a tall and burly general?
Ma Chao's bright eyes looked around at everyone present.

Those people all looked in awe, lowering their heads and not daring to look directly.

A soldier proficient in the language of the peninsula stood up and asked in a deep voice,
"Who is the chief here?"

A moment later, a middle-aged man in relatively luxurious clothes raised his hand tremblingly.

The soldier in charge of translation stepped forward to communicate with him, then turned around and said respectfully,
"General, this man is the leader of the tribe here, and this place is only a hundred miles away from their royal city."

According to the tribal leader's explanation, although Mahan is a kingdom in name, it is actually a tribal society.

Mahan is composed of 54 city-states. The city-states have no city walls and belong to the same tribe. Each tribe has a leader. The leader of a powerful tribe is the king of Mahan.

"understood."

Ma Chao nodded, grinning, showing his sharp teeth,
"Let him go to the king city immediately and tell their king that the emperor of the Dragon Empire is coming. If they are sensible, they will surrender early."

"Otherwise, the army of my Dragon Empire will crush Ma Hanuo in an instant!"

"Surrender... or die!"

The soldier in charge of translation stepped forward again and talked with the leader.

But seeing the leader tremble, he glanced at Ma Chao timidly, and nodded quickly.

Immediately Ma Chao waved his hand, and the leader spread his legs and ran towards the north.

……

Although Muzhi State is the royal city of Ma Han Guo in name, it is not even as good as a county seat of Long State.

Not only does it have no city walls, but even the buildings are dominated by messy thatched houses.

Only a small number of powerful people can afford to live in mud houses.

At this moment, in the Mahan Korean Palace composed of several wooden buildings, the atmosphere is a bit dignified.

The majestic King Ma Han, also known as King Chen of San Han, looked solemn and authentic,

"Everyone, do you know the origin of this Dragon Empire?"

All the Ma and Han officials in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay.

Suddenly a person stood up and said softly,
"King Chen, I have been in contact with the Han people in the north before, and I heard from them that the Han Dynasty, the Heavenly Kingdom in the Central Plains, had a coup last year and was replaced by the Dragon Kingdom. Presumably this Dragon Empire is the Dragon Kingdom that rules the Central Plains today. .”

"I see."

King Chen's expression softened a lot, but he was still puzzled,
"It's just that the Dragon Empire suddenly came to us across the sea and asked us to surrender. Why?"
