Three days later, Ling Feng officially ascended to the throne of Hanzhong, concurrently the pastor of Jingzhou, rewarded hundreds of officials, established a small court, and improved the system.

With Ling Feng becoming king, his luck grew again and became more condensed and stable.

And the major families in Yizhou knew that Ling Feng occupied Jingzhou, became the king of Hanzhong, and was expected to be the emperor's hegemony, so they couldn't help but rush to take refuge and send outstanding sons to the office.

Later, Xiao Qiao was escorted to Xiangyang City by Lu Su with soldiers and horses.

When Ling Feng saw her, she was indeed a peerless beauty, and her cultivation was already the peak of the grandmaster, not a pure vase. If you have just crossed from the earth, you must be a little excited to meet such a historical beauty. But how cultivated he is at this time, he naturally won't be out of proportion because of a beauty. Therefore, he did not immediately adopt her as a concubine, but put her under house arrest.

Immediately, he sent Kuai Liang to discuss with Lu Su about Cheng Pu and Xu Sheng.

However, Ling Feng still underestimated Sun Ce's heritage too much, because Lu Su actually promised to pay 50,000 bottles of Guyuan Dan to redeem the two of them.

However, Sun Ce did this, although he earned fame and redeemed the two generals, but the price he paid was definitely not small.

Subsequently, Qinghu sent news from the Central Plains.

Cao Cao led an army of five million to attack Qingzhou, and Tiankai, the assassin of Qingzhou, asked Liu Bei for help. He was originally a subordinate of Gongsun Zhan, but at this time, Gongsun Chan was still fighting with Yuan Shao, and the whip was beyond his reach.

Liu Bei was anxious for justice and righteousness, and led the army to join forces with Tian Kai to resist Cao Cao, but because of the disparity in troops, he was still defeated.

Liu Qing, the king of Guangling, and Lü Bu raised troops to help, preparing to attack Chen Liudao and force Cao Cao back.

At this time, Yuan Shu didn't know how to be moved by Cao Cao's words, and led the army to attack Xuzhou. Liu Qing had no choice but to withdraw his troops and fight back against Yuan Shu, and when Yuan Shu was repulsed, Cao Cao had completely occupied Qingzhou.

Liu Bei was defeated and voted for Yuan Shao. It is said that Yuan Shao heard that Liu Bei was coming to vote and personally greeted him thirty miles away. Tian Kai was defeated and led the army back to Youzhou.

When Ling Feng heard the news, he could only secretly scold Yuan Shu for being an idiot, now that Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou and Qingzhou, as long as he recuperates for a few years, his strength will inevitably increase greatly, and Xuzhou and Yuzhou will definitely not be able to resist it at that time. If Cao Cao unifies these four states, he will have the foundation of hegemony.

However, Ling Feng is not worried, as long as he can take Yangzhou and Jiaozhou and unify the south, he will have no worries and can deal with Cao Cao with all his might.

Now, what he needs is stable development and internal stability. And the hidden dangers inside, in addition to the family, are the barbarians, Yizhou has the southwest, and Jingzhou has the south. These barbarians must be eliminated, otherwise if he suddenly rebelled when he was at war with Sun Ce, it would be troublesome.

Therefore, Ling Feng first sent people to Wuling to communicate with the Nanban, promising them benefits and allowing them to move from the mountains to the city.

Of course, the results were not ideal, but they were expected. So, Ling Feng sent Wuqu, Jumen, and Lian Zhen to lead 300,000 Shura blood guards and 2 million state and county soldiers to encircle and suppress Wulingman.

In the face of Ling Feng's attack, Wuling Barbarians immediately raised 3 million troops and 200,000 Taoist soldiers, but they were defeated in a battle, beheaded hundreds of thousands, and captured more than 2 million.

And after this battle, these 300,000 Shura Blood Guards also absorbed enough essence blood vitality, and their cultivation has been greatly improved, and the 200,000 new Shura Blood Guards have also been promoted to above the middle congenital stage.

Subsequently, the leader of Wulingman surrendered, led his people down the mountain, merged into the prefecture and county, and began to pioneer Tuntian.

The reason why the barbarians always rebelled was that their living customs were not assimilated by the Han Chinese in order to maintain their independence. Once the barbarians assimilated into the Han Chinese, their habits of thought changed, and even if the barbarian leader wanted to rebel, no one would follow him.

And Wulingman surrendered, and the slightly weaker Changsha Man and Guiyang Man naturally surrendered.

After Ling Feng pacified the southern barbarians of Jingzhou, it was time to deal with the southwestern barbarians in the south of Yizhou. This Yizhou barbarian is actually the southern barbarian of Shu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Meng Huo, Mulu King, Wutu Gu and the like, and their strength is much stronger than that of Wuling Man.

Ling Feng also saluted first and then soldiers, and sent people to persuade him to surrender.

However, the barbarian king Meng Shu cut off an ear of the messenger sent by Ling Feng and put it back.

Therefore, Ling Feng personally led 300,000 Shura blood guards to go on a crusade.

The barbarian king Meng was aware of the attack, and his brother Meng You, his brother Meng Jie, and his wife Zhu Rong united with various departments to raise 5 million troops to meet the battle, including 100,000 fire Dao soldiers in the headquarters, 100,000 vine armor Dao soldiers with vulture bones, and the beast army of King Mulu.

However, there is no use for eggs. Ling Feng condensed his battle spirit, and the blood dragon turned into a sky full of bloody divine light, sweeping away, and the 100,000 vine armor soldiers became dried corpses. And Ling Feng unleashed the dragon power of the true dragon bloodline, and those fierce beast armies immediately turned into birds and beasts.

In the end, the barbarian king Meng surrendered, led his army to serve Ling Feng, and was canonized by Ling Feng as a Zhonglang general.

And after this battle, the three legions of Wuqu, Lian Zhen, and Jumen absorbed enough essence and blood vitality, and their strength improved again, and they all reached the peak level of the middle innate stage at the bottom.

With all the Nanban pacified, Ling Feng began to focus on internal affairs, mainly in three aspects.

First of all, in terms of talents, we will build martial arts halls and academies to cultivate talents. There is also the recruitment of talents, such as Pang Degong, Mr. Shuijing, Wolong, Feng Xiao and other top talents. Perhaps it was Ling Feng who really seized Liu Bei's great fortune, and after his several visits, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong both surrendered successively, and were appointed by Ling Feng as the minister of state of the Hanzhong palace and the governor of Jingzhou respectively.

In addition, Ling Feng established two high-level schools, Jingzhou University and Yizhou University, to absorb young talents and teach the strategies of governing the world and killing on the battlefield, while Pang Degong and Mr. Shui Jing were willing to teach although they were unwilling to go out, and were hired by him as the mountain chiefs of the two universities respectively.

The second is the army, he summoned all the high-level blacksmiths and swordsmiths, trained them into refiners, and refined magic-level weapons and armor for the various avenue soldiers.

And Jiangdong's 50,000 bottles of Guyuan Dan have already been delivered, and they have been assigned by Ling Feng to the four Dao Legions of Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Wen Ping, plus the cultivation resources of Jingzhou, these four Dao Legions will quickly take shape.

The third is the economy and people's livelihood, although the land annexation in various places is serious, and the people's life is difficult, but the prefectures and counties are actually still vast and sparsely populated, and with the implementation of the tuntian system, a lot of fertile land has been developed, which can be rented to farmers. And the people had another way out, and the wealthy families did not dare to persecute the tenants too much, and reduced the rent.

In addition to the common people, there is also the treatment of soldiers and the pension system, which requires a complete set of order. The fields obtained from the pioneerings are named military fields, and all those who enlist in the army can be given a certain amount of land, and all meritorious soldiers can be promoted to their military ranks and rewarded with finances, and the families of all soldiers who die in battle for him can receive corresponding military fields and silver pensions according to their positions and ranks.

Of course, Ling Feng basically just grasped the general direction, and the specific details were still implemented by the officials of the Hanzhong Royal Mansion and Jingzhou Mu, and there were institutions such as the Blue Dragon Society, the Vermilion Bird Hall, and the Six Doors secretly monitoring, and Ling Feng could also adjust it at any time. His main task is still to cultivate and comprehend the laws of chaos. His current cultivation is gradually approaching the limit, the Yang God is complete, and the condensation of the Yuan Shen is imminent, and only by sublimating the power of the law into the power of the Great Dao can he condense the condensation of the superb Dao Yuan Shen.
