Another World Super Dimension Summoner

Even more, if Liu Xie has the ability and capability in the future and can handle the hurdle in his heart well, Qin Bin will dare to appoint Liu Xie as prime minister.

On the contrary, Qin Bin can only let Liu Xie go, and if Liu Xie really does something out of line in the future, he will be "dealt with" accordingly.

Just like that, the imperial carriage was silent for a long time. Just as they were about to enter the Luoyang North Palace, Qin Bin spoke again.

"Your Majesty, I will not talk about big principles. Many things require your age and experience to be sufficient for you to understand. As for the future, I can only try to think positively. Now, Your Majesty, are you willing to cooperate with me?"

"...General, let me cooperate with you like I cooperated with Prime Minister Dong?"

"Similar, but not so nervous and cautious. I won't hit the kids even if I'm angry."

"I am not a child anymore..." Liu Xie said stubbornly, but then he subconsciously asked, "General, will you be like Dong Zhuo and refuse to give me food?"

"..."

This made Qin Bin stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but secretly complain - Dong Zhuo, you can...

"General?"

"Don't worry, I won't beat you, and I promise I won't let you starve."

"call..."

"but--"

“?!” Liu Xie shuddered.

"If you're making trouble, then wait... copy the book. You know Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian", right?"

“???” Liu Xie was at a loss.

Qin Bin then asked, "What about the Shangshu?"

Liu Xie shook his head again.

"What about 'Cangjie Pian', 'Xunzan Pian', 'Fanjiang Pian', 'Pangxi Pian' and 'Jijiu Pian'? You should know these, right?" Qin Bin couldn't help but list out several Han Dynasty enlightenment literacy reading materials.

"Jijiupian? Oh, I know this one, but the others are..."

"Yeah..."

Seeing Liu Xie shaking his head, Qin Bin also showed a little emotion, but then he felt relieved. After all, he was just a ten-year-old child, not one of those child prodigies that are rarely seen in a hundred or even a thousand years.

After expressing his feelings, Qin Bin asked again, "How many characters can you recognize? Well, can you recognize all the more than 2,000 characters in Jijiupian?"

"This, this..." Liu Xie's face turned red and his eyes were a little evasive.

Qin Bin blinked and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't recognize them all. Just study hard in the future."

"Yes, I will study hard."

Seeing Liu Xie gradually turning back into the appearance of a ten-year-old child, Qin Bin really wanted to reach out and rub his little head, but the crown with twelve beads was in the way, so Qin Bin had to pat the little guy on the shoulder instead to encourage him.

The little guy didn't understand what the pat on the shoulder meant, but he didn't take it seriously. At the same time, as the fear and confusion in his heart gradually disappeared, he couldn't hide a smile on his face.

Qin Bin glanced at him and naturally felt a little more pity in his heart, but that was all. He knew very well what he could do and what he could not do.

At this time, Xiaobai, who was hiding outside the frame and taking pictures everywhere, spoke over.

[Xiao Bai: Xiao Bin, I personally think that this is not a good idea. Liu Xie was a very troublesome person in history.]

[Qin Bin: I know, but it doesn't matter. As long as the people of the world only recognize me, Qin Bin, Liu Xie will not be able to cause any trouble in the future.]

[Xiao Bai: I'm not worried that he will cause any big trouble in the future, but, you have a lot of emotions, well, if Liu Xie doesn't turn out according to your expectations in the future, and you have invested too much effort in cultivating him, then you will be the one who suffers the most.]

【Qin Bin: Okay, you’re right, but I still want to give it a try to see if I can have the best of both worlds.】

【Xiao Bai: Actually, I really want to slam the table and shout out - Naive.】

【Qin Bin: However, I have the capital to be naive, at least in this matter.】

【Xiao Bai: That’s why I just wanted to, but I didn’t really catch you to lecture you. Especially your previous behavior of threatening the child, well, that was great, and it also let me know that you won’t do anything rash because of your hot-headedness.】

[Qin Bin: This is definitely the biggest stain in my life...]

[Xiaobai: Hehehe~~]

Chapter 370: Liang, Yi, Bing, Jing - Part

By the end of September in the first year of Chuping, Su Lie's troops had already captured all three areas under the jurisdiction of Chang'an.

At this time, Chang'an was in a state of disrepair and ruin, with officials losing their minds to politics and the people unable to make a living. It was an extremely chaotic area, as if it was the end of the world.

The reason for this is that the rebels led by Han Sui, Bian Zhang and Wang Guo were barely repelled by Huangfu Song in the sixth year of Zhongping, which was last year. The Chang'an area that was swept by the rebels had already been devastated by the relocation of the Han court center to Luoyang, and it also encountered a series of troubles such as the death of Emperor Ling, the killing of He Jin, and Dong Zhuo's rebellious politics. As a result, Luoyang had no time to pay attention to the situation in Chang'an. As a result, if Chang'an wanted to recover, it had to rely on itself and could not rely on the assistance of the center at all.

Therefore, from the beginning of last year to now, it was all thanks to Huangfu Song and a few local officials who maintained a facade in the Chang'an area, proving that there was still order here. Otherwise, Chang'an before the arrival of the Qin army might not have been much stronger than Qingzhou before Qin Bin arrived.

However, Huangfu Song could not do much. For example, the supply problem of the 30,000 northern troops made his hair turn white again and again, not to mention governing the Chang'an area.

When Su Lie's troops were advancing, the only decent garrison in Chang'an was the more than 30,000 Northern Army troops stationed in Youfufeng, led by Huangfu Song.

This was originally a force to guard against Han Sui's reversals, but Huangfu Song did not wait for Han Sui's reversals. Instead, he received the imperial edict, letters from Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Zhu Jun and others.

After learning that Dong Zhuo had been killed and the general was welcomed back to the court by ministers such as Yuan Wei to officially take charge of state affairs, Huangfu Song saw Su Lie's troops approaching. After a moment's hesitation, he led his troops to surrender.

Huangfu Song then accepted the emperor's edict asking him to return to Luoyang to report on his work, handed over the 30,000 northern troops to Su Lie for reorganization, and returned to Luoyang alone.

Huangfu Song seemed quite tragic when he left, but in fact it was all Huangfu Song's own fault.

Not to mention that after Huangfu Song returned to Luoyang trembling with fear, he was treated very well, which made him confused. As for Chang'an, after Youfufeng, Zuofengling, Jingzhaoyin and other places were fully taken over by the Qin army, the first phase strategic goal of the Qin army's expedition was achieved.

Yes, this is only the first stage. After all, war is a thing where one move affects the entire body, and there will always be chain reactions. Qin Bin’s way of dealing with these chain reactions is not complicated, which is to fight back.

For example, Han Sui and Ma Teng of Liang Province were greatly shocked by the capture of Guanzhong by the general's troops. They hurriedly assembled nearly 100,000 troops in Gaoping County of Anding County, and looked at Su Lie who was stationed in Qi County of Youfufeng, which was adjacent to Anding County of Liang Province.

There was also Liu Yan of Yizhou, who, after learning that Chang'an had changed its owner, hurriedly led his troops out of Chengdu and stationed in Hanzhong to guard against the Qin army taking advantage of the situation.

However, what made Han Sui, Ma Teng and Liu Yan terrified and even panicked was that within a few days, news came that Qin army general Gao Su, leading the 11th Qin Army Corps, which was mainly composed of cavalry, with a total of about combat soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, quickly entered Youfufeng to meet Su Lie.

Then another Qin army general named Wang Zhongsi led the 12th Corps, which was mainly composed of infantry, with nearly people, and quickly entered Chencang, eyeing Hanzhong.

At this moment, the Qin army's intention to march west to Liangzhou and south to Hanzhong was obvious.

Naturally, for local separatist forces such as Han Sui, Ma Teng and Liu Yan, now is the time to make a decision.

Ma Teng thought that the general was too powerful to be defeated and suggested surrendering to the court. However, Han Sui was unwilling to give up and insisted on taking a chance.

Ma Teng had few soldiers and no choice but to follow Han Sui's wishes as his family members were all under the control of Han Sui.

As for Liu Yan, perhaps he had not yet woken up from his dream of becoming an emperor, or perhaps he was still feeling a lot of luck in his heart. In any case, he actually closed the pass and prepared for war, intending to rely on the geographical advantage to resist the Qin army.

After the attitudes of Liangzhou and Yizhou were made clear, Qin Bin, who was far away in Luoyang, simply used the emperor's edict to order Gao Su to lead his troops into Liangzhou and Wang Zhongsi to lead his troops into Yizhou to quell the rebellion!

Yes, General Qin also started to play the emperor card. Although as a general he essentially had the power to dispatch troops to quell the rebellion, he couldn't help but use the emperor card right in front of him.

When the war between Liang and Yi was about to break out, Bingzhou also responded.

Under the threat of Qin Bin's imperial edict and the 13th Army led by Yang Ye, and with Dong Zhuo dead and the Xiliang generals in Luoyang either dead or surrendered, the more than remaining troops of Dong Zhuo in Bingzhou, led by Niu Fu and Zhang Ji, laid down their arms and waited for the Qin army to reorganize.

At this point, the three counties of Shangdang, Taiyuan and Shangjun in the south of Bingzhou quickly fell into the hands of the Qin army.

In addition to leaving two battalions of troops to reorganize the remnants of Dong Zhuo and the county troops in the southern part of Bingzhou, Yang Ye also led his troops northward with the goal of gradually recovering the northern part of Bingzhou, which the Han court had essentially lost control of decades ago, namely Hexi, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Yanmen counties.

At this time, all the northern counties of Bingzhou were under the control of the Southern Xiongnu, so Yang Ye's strategic goal this time was to formally swallow up the Southern Xiongnu, a disobedient vassal force of the Han court.

Therefore, in addition to Yang Ye, the 19th Corps led by Pei Xingjian also entered Bingbei to provide support.

When the war in Bingbei just broke out, Yuan Shu and others in Jingbei also came to the crossroads of their destiny.

After Yue Fei captured Luoyang, he ordered the famous Southern Song general Wu Jie to lead a brigade of elite troops south to Wuguan and force their way to Nanyang.

He also ordered Li Jing's troops stationed in Yangdi, Yingchuan, Yuzhou, to move to Kunyang, Yingchuan. Kunyang County is located at the junction of Nanyang and Yingchuan counties.

At the same time, Han Shizhong was sent to lead his troops to station in Luhun, Hongnong County. At this time, Sun Jian's troops were stationed in the north of Luyang in Nanyang County, not far south of Luhun, while the main forces of Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others were stationed in Luyang.

Seeing that the Qin army was about to march southward from three directions, Yuan Shu, the leader of the coalition forces in name only, after a fierce ideological struggle, finally submitted a public petition to the court, explicitly requesting to return to the capital to report on his work.

Although Yuan Shu was now a commoner in official status and had nothing to do with returning to the capital to report on his work, he just wanted to save face and was unwilling to directly say that he would surrender or submit, so he did this.

In fact, this performance report was also made by Qin Bin. It was a respectful public announcement specifically for veteran ministers like Huangfu Song. However, he did not expect that Yuan Shu would be able to apply what he had learned on the spot.

And it was not just Yuan Shu. After Yuan Shu expressed his position, Sun Jian and Cao Cao both breathed a sigh of relief and then submitted a petition requesting to return to the capital to report on their work.

Sun Jian's post as governor of Changsha had not been abolished yet, so it was natural for him to return to the capital to report on his work.

The establishment of the Dianjun Xiaowei of Cao Cao's Eight Schools in Xiyuan was not officially abolished. At present, he was still nominally an official of the imperial court with a rank equivalent to that of a two thousand stone official. Of course, he had the right to bring his people to the capital to report on his work.

Next came the county and state officials such as Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Qiao Mao, and Yuan Yi. After Yuan Shu and others took the lead, they followed suit one after another.

Then, after receiving the imperial edict of approval from Luoyang, Yuan Shu and his entourage were completely relieved. They formed a group and went to Luoyang with their entourage.

At this point, Jingbei was easily and completely taken over by the Qin army.

Chapter 371: Liang, Yi, Bing, Jing - Part

As soon as the news of Jingbei's reform came true, the aristocratic families in Jingnan also hurried into action. Before the Qin army in Jingbei and Yangzhou could make any move, they asked the local officials to submit petitions to support the general's reforms.

By the end of October in Chuping, the entire Jingzhou was under the jurisdiction of the general.

At this time, in the direction of Liangzhou, Gao Su and the army of Xue Li (Xue Rengui) who came to support them defeated the 100,000-strong coalition force of Han Sui and Ma Teng in one blow. After killing Han Sui and capturing Ma Teng, they led their troops to continue the westward expedition. They have now reached Zhangye County and are about to enter Jiuquan County.

The first-stage strategic goal of Gao Su and Xue Li was to take over the entire Liangzhou region, while also managing the Western Qiang and being prepared to march westward at any time.

Their second stage is to take back the Western Regions Protectorate when the time is right.

Wang Zhongsi's troops, who were marching south to Yizhou, had just captured Nanzheng and officially occupied Hanzhong due to the dangerous road. When they were about to lead their troops south to Ba County, they received the news that Liu Yan had died of illness on the way back to Ba County after his defeat. Afterwards, the remnants of Liu Yan and the powerful families in Yizhou all submitted their surrender.

Now that things have come to this point, it is only a matter of time before we take over the entire Yizhou.

But this is not the end. After Meng Gong led a new mountain army corps from Jingzhou into Shu, Meng Gong and Wang Zhongsi's next strategic goal was set as Nanzhong, and even continued to move south until they found an outlet to the sea.

At the same time, after Jingnan is pacified, the Qin army will also focus on Jiaozhou and places further south.

Of course, the external expansion is not limited to this. Under the planning of Qin Bin's cabinet and a group of bigwigs in the Ministry of War, they intend to turn the entire East China Sea and the South China Sea into "inland seas", so the eastward and southward expeditions at sea are only a matter of time.

When the Han Dynasty's strategy was coming to an end and its external expansion officially began, it was the end of December in Chuping.

At this time, Qin Bin had been in Luoyang for two or three months, and the replacement of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers system of the Han court with the "cabinet and ministry" of the General's Mansion had been successfully completed.

All the civil and military officials in the Han court headed by Yuan Wei, as well as local princes and even famous scholars and heroes, were labeled "retained for future use" and received professional training.

By now, there were some elites with outstanding receptive abilities, such as Xun Yu, Xun You and others, who demonstrated the qualities that the top elites of the late Han Dynasty should have. They quickly adapted to the new system and were assigned to various departments as assistant ministers, that is, subordinate officials of various departments. For example, some military generals, after at least two months of special training, were assigned to various legions to serve as middle-level officers.

Whether these elite troops from the end of the Han Dynasty can excel in the new system and become generals or ministers in the future depends on their abilities.

As for the original central army and local army directly under the Han court, which totaled nearly two million, they were gradually absorbed by the Qin army in the process of pacifying the entire Han territory, and nearly 700,000 elite soldiers who were capable of use and had training potential were carefully inspected and reorganized.

Then these soldiers were integrated into the various materialized legions under Qin Bin's command, and thus the Qin army was gradually expanded to 22 fully-staffed legions.

According to the size of Qin Bin's fully staffed legion, which usually has more than 3 combat soldiers and more than 1 auxiliary soldiers, for a total of about 5 people, the total number of troops under Qin Bin has now reached one million.

At present, this million-strong army depends entirely on Qin Bin alone.

The method is also very simple, which is to materialize materials through the system and then transport and circulate them through the space ring.

There is no other way around this. It is simply unrealistic to rely on the current twelve states in Han territory to support the million-strong army, more than half of which are on the march. It can even be predicted that the Han economy, which has been gradually improving, will collapse directly.

Although the cost of supporting a million-strong army may seem terrifying, in fact, based on the efficiency of the more than 200 million Han people contributing their willpower, a surplus has already been achieved.

By the next year, when high-yield crops in the Han area are fully rolled out and a virtuous cycle is formed, and when the industry and commerce in the Han area gradually recover and upgrade, the supply expenses of the million-strong army can be gradually transferred to the national treasury level. By then, Qin Bin will not have to spend money blindly.

In fact, the supply expenses of a million-strong army are just a small part of the cost. The real big part comes from the wintering needs of 60 to 70 million disaster victims in the Central Plains.

Yan and Yu provinces are still in the stage of severe natural disasters. The huge demand for survival supplies for at least one month of the 60 to 70 million people affected has caused Qin Bin to temporarily face a situation where his willpower was insufficient to cover his expenses.

Of course, this is just a criticism that the Han people were temporarily unable to make ends meet with the income from the vows provided by Qin Bin.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, as the entire Han territory was pacified, and the prefectures and counties that were not the focus of natural disasters had spare capacity to support the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains, and the high-yield crops at the monthly harvest level gradually began to provide food for the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains, which greatly reduced Qin Bin's pressure and made the Han area's willpower income surplus again at the end of the twelfth month of the first year of the Ping Dynasty. It can be foreseen that this surplus will expand rapidly next year.

As for why Qin Bin did not ask for help from his hometown Earth or China in other worlds to save his willpower?

The reason is not complicated. It takes time to purchase various materials from other worlds, and the material needs of tens of millions of disaster-stricken people in the Central Plains of Han are extremely urgent. It can be said that they cannot wait for a moment. So from the very beginning, Qin Bin simply used his willpower to deal with the emergency.

When the demand for food and winter clothing is not so urgent and the entire Han territory has been taken over by Qin Bin, he will be able to mobilize resources from the unaffected states and counties and mix them with gradually maturing high-yield crops to help tens of millions of people get through the difficult times, and there will be no need to purchase from outside.

This winter also further consolidated Qin Bin's foundation for succeeding the Han Dynasty and becoming emperor in the future.

The efficient, clean and fair disaster relief operations of the General's Mansion, coupled with timely and appropriate publicity, and the fact that in the cold winter, no Han people were known to have frozen to death or starved to death, a miraculous fact, have raised the support of the lower-class Han people for Qin Bin to a new level.

The lower-class people's support for Qin Bin became more and more sincere and fanatical, which also dissipated the last bit of hope in the hearts of the middle and upper-class aristocratic families.
