On December 10, 194 in the Han calendar, Sun Hao had just ascended the throne for more than two months when he gathered the left and right guards and the front and back guards of the Imperial Guards.
There are also the First Town, Second Town, Third Town, Fourth Town, Ninth Town, Tenth Town, Eleventh Town, Twelfth Town, Twenty-third Town and Twenty-fourth Town of the Imperial Guard.
As well as six garrisons, he was ready to lead the army in person to conquer the Xianbei and Khitan peoples who had rebelled against the Han Dynasty, as well as all the nomadic peoples who had formed an alliance with the Xianbei and Khitan peoples.
In fact, all the civil and military officials in the court did not agree with Sun Hao's decision to lead the army in person. After all, the enemies they would face in this expedition to the grassland would be very powerful.
However, Sun Hao used the reason that there were still 200 million conversion points reserved in the "General Converter" to convince the counselors and generals from the "Annual Signature System" to agree to Sun Hao's personal expedition.
At a critical moment, 200 million conversion points can be exchanged from the "Hero Converter" for 200,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders, thus turning the outcome of a war.
As for the other ministers of the Han court, they were either former ministers of the Han court or came from various vassal states that surrendered to the Zhenxi Army. Their opinions could not influence Sun Hao's decision for the time being.
In a bedroom in the Anyang City Imperial Palace, Sun Hao and Zhen Luo, who had just finished a fierce battle on the bed, discussed the expansion of the harem.
"Your Majesty, the selection of beauties from various states has begun. I just wonder how many beauties Your Majesty plans to take into the palace this time?" Zhen Luo leaned against Sun Hao's chest and asked in a tender voice.
After Sun Hao ascended the throne, he conferred titles on ten imperial concubines in addition to the queen.
Including Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Cai Wenji, Zhao Feiyan, Zhao Hede, and Huo Nan, whose charm value is as high as 100 points, all were canonized as imperial concubines by Sun Hao.
The other four imperial concubines were signed by Sun Hao on January 1, 194 in the Han calendar, at the same time as the 100 million conversion points.
Xi Shi (Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period), Wang Zhaojun (Qin and Han Dynasties), Diao Chan (Three Kingdoms Period), and Yang Yuhuan (Sui and Tang Dynasties). The charm values of these four beauties are as high as 100 points.
At present, in the entire harem, except for Empress Zhen Luo and ten imperial concubines, there are only one beautiful woman from the Western Qiang tribe, two beauties from the Dangxiang tribe and three beauties from the Xiongnu tribe who have been canonized as selected concubines.
Of course, these six grassland beauties were carefully selected by Sun Hao. Three of them had a charm value of 98 points, and the other three had a charm value of 99 points.
According to the Han Dynasty's harem system, there would be one Imperial Noble Consort of the first rank under the Empress, and one each of the first rank Consort Shu, Consort Xian, Consort De, and Consort Hui.
There are one each of the second rank Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong and Chongyuan.
There were nine noble concubines of the second rank, nine imperial concubines of the third rank, nine noble ladies of the third rank, nine beauties of the fourth rank, and nine talented ladies of the fourth rank.
There were twenty-seven Baolin ladies of the fifth rank, twenty-seven Changzai ladies of the fifth rank, twenty-seven Xuanshi ladies of the sixth rank, twenty-seven Chengyi ladies of the sixth rank, twenty-seven Yunu ladies of the seventh rank, and twenty-seven Cainu ladies of the seventh rank.
Even if Sun Hao did not follow the rules and directly conferred titles on ten imperial concubines of the first rank, there would still be a lack of too many concubines in his harem, so Zhen Luo, as the queen, would take the initiative to arrange a selection for Sun Hao.
Sun Hao pondered for a moment and said, "The selected girls must have clean backgrounds. I don't want to be stabbed in the back while I sleep."
Zhen Luo responded, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will personally review the selected beauties sent by various states this time."
"I will soon lead my army to the grasslands. The Empress will help me select the beauties first. After I return to the capital victorious, I will personally conduct the final round of screening."
"Your Majesty, there are many famous generals in the court now. Why do you have to take the risk yourself?"
Sun Hao then leaned close to Zhen Luo's ear and whispered to him that the "Hero Converter" still had more than 200 million conversion points stored.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Luo, still somewhat worried, whispered, "Your Majesty, the royal treasury is now very full. Why don't you..."
Before Zhen Luo could finish his words, he was interrupted by Sun Hao, "It's enough. There is no need to use the gold and silver in the royal treasury for the time being.
In fact, the more than two million elite soldiers of the Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards gathered this time are enough to defeat the Tartars on the grasslands."
In addition to the ten-town imperial guards and the four guards of the imperial guards gathered in the capital, the fifth and sixth towns of the imperial guards stationed in the twenty-seven cities of the grassland will also participate in this great battle with the multi-ethnic coalition forces of the grassland.
In addition, the 200,000 Western Qiang cavalry, 300,000 Dangxiang cavalry and 500,000 Xiongnu cavalry that have been incorporated into the Han army will also cooperate with the expeditionary force led by Sun Hao in combat.
Upon learning that the emperor would hold a selection of concubines in various states of the Han Kingdom, many aristocratic families of the Han Kingdom took action.
In Jingyuan City, the capital of Songzi County in Fuzhou, the current head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yi, asked his younger brother, Jiang Xian, "Have you counted the number of women of marriageable age in the family?"
The Jiang family is a large family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. More than two hundred years ago, before Sun Hao became successful, the Tianwei Protectorate controlled by the Jiang family was considered the number one vassal state in Liang State.
During the establishment of the Han Dynasty, although the Jiang family suffered heavy losses, their foundation was still there. Of the three protectorates that previously controlled the entire Fuzhou, one belonged to the Jiang family, namely the Rongwei Protectorate of the Han Dynasty.
However, the Rouran tribe, which had always been controlled by the Jiang family, took advantage of the Jiang family's weakness and broke away from the Jiang family's control.
Today, the Rouran people have become a powerful grassland tribe with a population of over ten million. They also participated in the grassland alliance against the Han State.
