"My lord, after you left Yanmen Pass, I occupied the entire Bingzhou without your permission or to inform you. Please forgive me." As soon as Wang Han arrived at Yanmen Pass, Zhang Sai, carrying thorns on his back, opened the city gate, knelt before it, and begged Wang Han for forgiveness.
Zhang Sai knew that Wang Han didn't want to contend for supremacy; Wang Han himself had told him this when he chose to pledge allegiance. However, he acted deliberately because in his heart, the hearts of his soldiers, and the people, only Wang Han was qualified to be the ruler of the land. Which of the other warlords wasn't constantly fighting each other, creating endless wars? Even Yuan Shao, whose family had held high office for four generations, Cao Cao, who held the emperor's power, and Liu Bei, rumored to be benevolent, were all the same. Only Wang Han truly cared for the people; he not only didn't fight and conquer like the other warlords, but he also did many great things for the people.
Moreover, in this Xiongnu invasion, Wang Han was the first and only one to come and drive out the Xiongnu. Other feudal lords, facing the invasion of Bingzhou by foreign tribes, did not offer assistance since it was not their territory; they didn't even send troops to support them, continuing their infighting. This further solidified his resolve to make Wang Han the ruler of the land. After discovering he could easily conquer Bingzhou during conscription, he seized it in Wang Han's name. Since Wang Han didn't want to be the ruler of the land, he forced him into that position.
"..." Wang Han paused for a moment, neither angry nor happy. He looked at Zhang Sai and thought carefully for a while before saying, "Get up. You are not only without fault, but you have also made contributions. It's good that you have occupied Bingzhou. The following matters can be implemented starting from Bingzhou, which can set an example and set a standard for other lords. It's better than starting directly on the territory of those lords and being able to make some small moves by them. Tell me the details of what happened in a while."
"Yes, my lord." Zhang Sai stood up happily upon hearing this. His lord had indeed not blamed him. Next, he would secretly stir up trouble. Although doing so would be somewhat detrimental to his lord, it would allow his lord to become the ruler of the world.
He simply hadn't anticipated that Wang Han wasn't unwilling to become the ruler of the world and implement his plans, but rather unable to. Wang Han himself didn't know when he might be suddenly forced to leave this world. He feared that without his presence to maintain order, the world would descend into chaos again. Therefore, Wang Han's plan was to weaken other ethnic groups while gradually changing the social structure of the Central Plains. Indeed, Wang Han wanted to transform the current social structure of China, freeing it from feudalism. Coming from the modern era, Wang Han understood what it took for ancient society to evolve into modern society. Even if he couldn't achieve complete progress, he could still propel China forward significantly. Combined with weakening other races, this would allow China to lead the world, gain a dominant position, and even potentially unify the world ahead of schedule.
However, this plan remained only in Wang Han's mind; he hadn't told anyone, not even Xi Zhicai. This was because it was even more absurd, unbelievable, and incomprehensible than any plan he could share with Xi Zhicai. Wang Han had to implement it step by step himself until the opportune moment to reveal it to the world.
Those feudal lords were intentionally left behind and allowed to wage war against each other by Wang Han. He would only take action against them if absolutely necessary, or if any of them committed an act that angered both heaven and man. Otherwise, Wang Han would not take action against them for the time being. Firstly, Wang Han kept these feudal lords around because they were all Han Chinese, and he couldn't kill them all. Secondly, Wang Han wanted them to fight against other ethnic groups. Thirdly, if Wang Han's plan was only halfway through and he was driven out of the country, these feudal lords would be a guarantee of Han Chinese military strength. However, it would be best if the third scenario didn't happen.
………………………………………………
After entering Yanmen Pass, Zhao Liu and Zhang Saixian were responsible for making arrangements for the people they had brought back.
Wang Han then led several hundred soldiers away from Yanmen Pass in oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages. No one knew where Wang Han went, when he would return, or what he was doing with his soldiers.
——————————————
Outside Yanmen Pass.
After arriving at a valley outside Yanmen Pass with several hundred soldiers and oxcarts, Wang Han instructed his soldiers: "You wait here. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order. Anyone who disobeys will be executed on the spot."
“Yes, sir!” the soldiers replied loudly.
Wang Han nodded and walked into the valley. Soon, he arrived at the middle section of the valley.
Looking around and seeing that no one was around, Wang Han took out the box containing the Type 38 rifles and the Type 38 rifles sealed inside from his backpack space. He checked them. Although he didn't like Japanese rifles, unfortunately, Wang Han only had Japanese guns. He couldn't manufacture firearms with the current technology, and he didn't plan to take out the machine gun at the moment.
After checking, Wang Han put the gun back into the box, nailed it in place, placed his hand on the box, and activated the multiplier.
The crates instantly split into phantoms and then materialized. In less than ten seconds, two thousand crates containing Type 38 rifles appeared before Wang Han. Each crate contained six rifles, and the two thousand crates contained a total of twelve thousand rifles.
Then Wang Han took out a box of sealed rifle bullets and used the multiplier to multiply them into a thousand boxes of bullets, each box containing six hundred rounds, for a total of six hundred thousand rounds.
After the doubling was complete, Wang Han walked out of the valley and came to the outside of the valley. He said to the soldiers outside, "Catch the oxcart and come in with me."
"Yes, sir." Upon hearing this, the soldiers quickly drove the oxcart and followed Wang Han into the valley.
