Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

The news that Zhuge Liang was to succeed Jia Xu quickly spread throughout the entire Star Han Empire.

No one understood why Mu Yi would have Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang hand over the reins so soon after the great battle.

Many people started to have their own ideas, after all, Jia Xu was ruthless and cruel, while Zhuge Liang seemed more benevolent.

As the saying goes, a gentleman can be deceived by his principles.

If the person in charge is kind, then they can go a little overboard.

"What a bunch of idiots!"

Jia Xu casually tossed the secret report aside. He hadn't even stepped down yet, and these fools were already making their moves.

He felt he had been too lenient; otherwise, how could there still be so many fools in the Star Han Empire?

However, this is inevitable. There is never a shortage of fools, and with the empire's will wavering, many people are probably just making a wrong decision.

"Send someone to hand everything over to Zhuge Liang and let him handle it!"

In the past, Jia Xu would have definitely made an example of them to warn the fools and make them realize the truth.

However, he's currently busy with expansion plans and can't be bothered with these people.

Furthermore, this was also somewhat related to the turmoil in the imperial will. He was not an unreasonable person, and handing it over to Zhuge Liang to deal with was already his last act of mercy.

"They really know how to order people around!" Zhuge Liang said with a helpless expression after receiving the intelligence.

They insisted on making him do things that Jia Xu could have easily handled, even though he had a lot of things to deal with himself.

There are still many problems in Rome that he is suppressing, and who knows how they might erupt after he leaves, so he must find a reliable successor.

He originally wanted to choose Jiang Wei, but Jiang Wei was still fighting on the front lines. Another problem was that Jiang Wei had no experience in Rome, so many issues might not be resolved.

In the end, Zhuge Liang could only let Wei Yan take his place in Rome, and then establish a new upper house with the four dukes of the border counties, and a lower house with the Senate.

Although he knew that this administrative efficiency would be much slower, it was more stable, and with his remote macro-control, it could barely keep running.

"As for the Tenth Knight..."

Zhuge Liang was very troubled. He really had no good solutions for the Tenth Knights. It was a fallen miracle legion, with all its members being veterans. It was really difficult to deal with them within the framework of Rome.

"Vergillio, what are your plans next?" Zhuge Liang was worried about the Tenth Knight, this ticking time bomb, in Rome, so he met with Vergillio.

"I don't know!" Virgilio was bewildered; the morale of their entire legion had long been drained.

"I'll give you two choices!"

Zhuge Liang sighed. After all, it was a legion that had made great contributions, and he couldn't bear to just kill them all.

"First, come with me to Luoyang. I will ask the Emperor to bring the young Caesar from the past!"

"Secondly, I will send you to Mongol territory, where you can fend for yourselves!"

"I choose one!"

When Virgilio heard Zhuge Liang say this, his eyes lit up, as if he had been injected with some new power.

Zhuge Liang was a bit of a headache. He couldn't understand the Tenth Knight's thought process at all, but judging from Virgilio's condition, at least it was a solution.
Zhuge Liang was, after all, a Han Chinese, not a Roman. Of course, even if he were a Roman, he would find it difficult to empathize with Virgilio and his ilk.

For Virgilio and his companions, Caesar was not a specific person, but a symbol!
After all, Caesar died long ago in history, and the Tenth Knights Legion was not the same legion Caesar had led back then.

They passed it down from generation to generation, inheriting their perverse love for Caesar.

But for many, the Tenth Knight was just a fleeting glimpse, like an unrealistic dream.

And now, Zhuge Liang has actually managed to find them another Caesar, albeit a young version, but he is still Caesar.

Just as the original Tenth Knight was loyal to Caesar simply because Octavian was Caesar's adopted son, it doesn't seem unacceptable for them to be loyal to an original Caesar.

"I simply cannot understand you! Go back and tell your people to assemble. I will find you a base of operations in Luoyang!"

Zhuge Liang rubbed his temples, signaling Virgilio to get lost.

With something to look forward to, Virgilio was much more obedient, carrying out Zhuge Liang's orders without question, curling himself into a ball and rolling away.

Zhuge Liang wanted to complain, but he didn't know what to complain about. It was common knowledge in Rome that the Tenth Knight was abnormal.

"Your Majesty, when we go to Luoyang, may we, the guardians, be allowed to accompany you?" Su suddenly appeared in the hall and asked Zhuge Liang for permission.

"Why?" Zhuge Liang was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that Su and the others would actually volunteer to accompany him.

"You can't improve by working behind closed doors. If you can compete with heroes from all over the world, you'll definitely improve!" Su said with a smile.

That previous battle still had a profound impact on the defenders of Rome.

"Alright! Tell them to prepare! Compile a list and give it to me!" Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and then agreed.

Xinghan's current main direction is integration. As the center of the world, Luoyang will indeed act like a vortex, siphoning in the world's elites.

The patrons of Rome are considered elites, so going to Luoyang together would be a good thing.

Judging from the position of prime minister he is about to take over, this trend deserves to be encouraged more strongly.

He had already begun planning to gather all the Kushan experts in Luoyang.

As for how to manage it, it's not a difficult matter. Just designate an area to serve as a military region, and with the cloud-like energy suppressing it, these experts won't cause too much damage.

"Su, I've always had a question: can your ability to see the future be used for planning?"

Zhuge Liang asked with a hint of curiosity, "Su basically doesn't get involved in any politics and advocates pure martial prowess, but in fact, the qualities Su has shown are quite extraordinary in Zhuge Liang's eyes."

"Your Majesty, you know this best, don't you?" Su smiled and shook his head.

Zhuge Liang can replicate everyone's spiritual and military talents. Su's ability is, to put it bluntly, a kind of sublimation, which Zhuge Liang naturally also mastered.

"You know, even without this ability, I can foresee future developments!" Zhuge Liang's face showed a hint of helplessness.

Sometimes being too smart isn't a good thing. At the very least, he might not be able to tell whether the future he sees is something he calculates with his brain or something he sees with his abilities.

"Your Majesty, he is truly a divine being!"

Su sighed. People are really different. Zhuge Liang was practically inhuman. Using his intelligence to simulate the future—this kind of thing would seem like a fantasy to others, but it seemed quite natural to Zhuge Liang.

"I do have the ability to see a future that is favorable to me, but this is tied to my ability. The stronger I am, the more and more favorable futures I can see..."

Su shook his head at this point.

He certainly has the potential to become a top strategist, but this ability was sublimated and born when he broke through to the next level in martial arts training. In other words, his roots are already in martial arts, and it is too late to go back and learn strategy now.

"What a pity!" Zhuge Liang also sighed.

After the age of twenty-five, many of a person's consciousnesses are already set and difficult to change. People over this age have their own way of perceiving the world, and it is difficult to change them at the level of consciousness. To put it bluntly, they have lost their plasticity.

"If you wish to learn military strategy in the future, I can teach you!" "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but my only desire now is martial arts!"

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but shake his head at Su's answer, but he couldn't say that Su's choice was wrong.

Although individual combat power has lost most of its significance on the battlefield, the special situation of dealing with the insect plague has brought individual combat power back to the forefront.

Sue's choice cannot be called wrong. Although it seems a bit narrow, it may not be a bad solution.

But Su's situation meant that he could only be a guard.

It's worth noting that even Lü Bu possessed exceptional cavalry command skills, not to mention Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

On Xinghan's side, basically all the capable fighters also serve as officers, and the stage for honing their skills is the battlefield.

Although Su was a seasoned veteran with a solid foundation, he was ultimately lacking in something.

This is also why Suka has been unable to make any progress so far.

Even though he is indeed one of the top five strongest in Xinghan, he is still a little short.

"Rome has lost too many officers!"

Zhuge Liang sighed, but it was precisely because Rome lost too many elites that it was annexed by the Star River.

If it were truly the rising Roma of yesteryear, it wouldn't be so easy for Xinghan to win.

Rome was far stronger than the Kushan and Parthian empires.

However, everything has already settled down, and there's no need to chase after the past.

Xinghan defeated the Qing court and gained a controllable enemy.

This policy can perfectly realize the goal of uniting people from different regions with a common enemy and promoting greater integration.

This is also the most important thing for Xinghan right now.

With Luoyang as the core, we will build the absolute empire's core.

Not only here, but in other worlds, all power is concentrated in an absolute core, and then expanded step by step.

The operating models of the Ming and Mongol Yuan dynasties were mature, and Xinghan drew heavily on their frameworks to promote communication.

However, in terms of the most important military system, Xinghan still abandoned the unification of military branches.

The unification plans of the Yuan and Qing dynasties are indeed worth learning from, but the military system of the Ming dynasty also showed potential for diversification.

However, Huang Tianji had a different plan in this regard. After gathering the world's top talents, the project of forging the Emperor's Guard was launched again.

Huang Tianji plans to amass an army of 300,000 to show others that all-powerful cavalry are nothing but trash.

Mechs with massive muscles are the future.

In a sense, it was also an attempt by Xinghan to unify the military branches.

After the major integration began, all aspects experienced explosive growth.

Xinghan had already accumulated enough experience and technology, but because it was always on the move to fight, it didn't have time to make progress. Now that things have stabilized, various technologies are being updated and replaced.

Zhuge Liang applied these technologies to all aspects of the empire's development, securing his position as prime minister with tangible results.

This was originally a very difficult task, but Zhuge Liang managed to accomplish it.

Even the most stubborn person has to admit that Zhuge Liang was a prime minister in all but name.

Jia Xu, on the other hand, was in complete seclusion.

Of course, Jia Xu did not retire; his authority was even higher than that of Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang noticed this, but under Mu Yi's intervention, he could only forcibly ignore it.

Xinghan has too many things to handle. Even if he works day and night, he can't manage everything. He has to delegate authority to others.

This wasn't particularly difficult for Zhuge Liang, since he had many talented people at his disposal.

He only needs to give the general direction, and these people will be able to complete it well.

Zhuge Liang was initially a little unaccustomed to it, as he was uneasy if he didn't review everything, but he gradually got used to this new mode.

After all, only Huang Tianji could compile all the data.

After learning to delegate authority and utilize Huang Tianji, Zhuge Liang's ability to handle government affairs reached a new level.

"Kongming, it's rare to see you resting!"

Guo Jia walked into the government office with some surprise and saw Zhuge Liang resting, which was a huge shock to him.

After all, Zhuge Liang's intense, sleepless handling of government affairs had truly exhausted everyone.

If it weren't for Mu Yi and Jia Xu's intervention, the entire government affairs office would probably have been overwhelmed.

Zhuge Liang was a highly skilled cultivator; his physical condition was such that he could easily endure ten days to half a month of training.

Although Zhuge Liang didn't involve others in the process, his superiors were all involved, so how could he not?
"Nothing much to do today!" Zhuge Liang said, taking a sip of tea, somewhat exasperated with Guo Jia.

"Fengxiao is a rare guest. Is there something you need today?"

This once-renowned sage seems to have been spoiled and is incredibly lazy, appearing to be heading towards a life of idleness.

It's hard to believe that he once had the same ambition to clear the Qing court even with his mental talent collapsing.

"You're making it sound like I've never been to the government office before!" Guo Jia said, sitting down in front of Zhuge Liang with some dissatisfaction.

He's a law-abiding citizen who diligently clocks in and goes to work on time.

"This month, you've left work early eighteen times, and only twenty-one days have passed!" Zhuge Liang pointed out Guo Jia's laziness with a blank expression.

"My head hurts, my head hurts!"

Guo Jia chuckled, admitting he couldn't even remember how many times he'd sneaked away, while Zhuge Liang did, and he was truly exasperated.

"Ahem, I've come here today on important business!" Guo Jia forcefully changed the subject, and Zhuge Liang didn't bother to pursue it further.

Legal principles can't overcome personal feelings. Guo Jia, who risked his life for the Xinghan Empire, could only be overlooked. No one is perfect, so let him sneak away. Anyway, the mission was completed. In this respect, Guo Jia didn't compromise at all.

"what's up?"

"It's nothing major. Marquis Wen has entrusted me to organize a martial arts tournament and wants to publicly invite strong individuals from other empires to spar and exchange skills. I've come to discuss it with you!"

"I want to hold an internal competition now to keep track of the official attendees!"

"This is indeed a major matter!" Zhuge Liang put down his teacup and fell into deep thought. (End of Chapter)
