I am not a seventh-generation descendant of Lord Wu'an from the Qin Dynasty.

"Ah~, it's another sunny day!"

Bai Qi stretched comfortably, feeling refreshed and full of energy, as if all his fatigue had returned.

Below the hall, Six Sword Slaves Zhen Gang and Seven Linglong Genshi had been waiting for a long time, full of enthusiasm.

"My lord, are you heading to Prime Minister Lü's residence?"

"No rush, let the bullets fly a little longer!"

"what?"

"What's the rush? It's Lü Buwei who's in a hurry now. Let him overthink it for a while longer!"

Bai Qi smiled sinisterly.

"What is he guessing now? The King? The Empress Dowager? The Qin royal family? The Qin court? The morale of the Qin army? The opinion of the Qin people..."

Just imagining the enemies Lü Buwei was about to face made Bai Qi's brain explode.

While Lü Buwei was busy dealing with these people, he should refrain from going up and attracting their hatred.

In any case, the powerful minister Lü Buwei has many rivals, but he only has one goal, so there is no need to rush.

What should we do now?

Bai Qi rubbed Qin Wu'an Jun's sword between his palms.

He can't train troops now, and farming is too slow. He doesn't have any trump cards to protect him, so he's feeling guilty!

Once a decision is made, Bai Qi never hesitates.

After finishing his breakfast with the attentive service of Yue'er and the cook, Bai Qi waved for them to bring out the military treatise.

Bai Qizi needs to study.

His eyelids were drooping, he was drowsy, his head was bobbing up and down, and he was completely dazed.

He overestimated himself.

Playing games can keep you up all night, and arguing with your keyboard can keep you up all night, but when it comes to studying, your eyes are completely empty.

"The military strategies of the Warring States period are too dry. How about we try a one-on-one test?"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up, he sat up straight, and waved to Zhen Gang and the other assassin leaders.

"Go and fetch the intelligence on the Battle of Yique."

Zhen Gang was clearly taken aback. "No, I'm a fucking assassin!"

But after thinking about the fifty gold coins from yesterday, he decisively bowed his head and accepted the order, "Yes, sir!"

Fortunately, it's not difficult at this time. Although the Six Sword Slaves and Seven Linglong are assassins by profession, they can still be mobilized by the Luo Wang intelligence organization.

Before long, under Lü Buwei's orders to closely monitor Bai Qizi, a whole host of post-battle summaries and intelligence reports on the Battle of Yique were compiled.

Lü Buwei: "What is he planning to do now?"

Bai Qizi: "I want to study!"

Bai Qi clenched his fists, roared, and buried himself in the pile of bamboo slips, studying the words with great difficulty.

"Damn it, how come Qin's intelligence also includes Han, Wei, and Zhou documents..."

Is he going to become a master of Warring States period writing?

"Brother Zheng, wake up already! Burn all this nonsense!"

One hour later.

Bai Qi lay languidly on the table, his last remaining desire for puzzle games completely exhausted.

He raised his hand and waved weakly at Zhen Gang and Gen Shi, who were standing below.

"Pass down the word: close the mansion and refuse all visitors. Bai Qi is going into seclusion and will not see anyone!"

"Yes, sir!"

The two locked eyes, secretly chuckling to themselves, "So, even an adult is a poor student!"

"What a coincidence, you are too!"

With a clang, a crimson halo spread out from behind.

The two men felt their hair stand on end, and with a leap, they disappeared.

……

The Qin military meritocracy system, starting from the fifth-rank Grand Master, used collective merit as the standard in every battle, with a net victory of 33 people as the benchmark...

The crimson trial space unfolded, and Bai Qi heard the introduction to the Qin Kingdom's war merit rules.

Clearly, the sword spirit of Lord Wu'an was also afraid that he was a poor student, so it tried its best to explain things in detail.

In fact, once you reached the level of a Qin garrison commander, if you came from the elite forces of the capital, you could no longer earn merit by beheading enemies.

However, where there are Qin laws above, there are loopholes below.

Qin Guoxungui soon discovered that below the capital's troops, there were also border guards and local troops for suppressing bandits.

From being demoted from a royal soldier to a local county soldier, their rank remained the same, but they commanded more soldiers.

Because Shang Yang, who reformed the Qin state, had died, later generations could not explain whether this was intentional on his part or a deliberate attempt to entice Qin officials to defend the border.

Over time, this led to a situation where local officials had many soldiers but few soldiers, while the capital city had many officials but few soldiers.

Bai Qi was in Tian County in this position, holding the rank of 2500 officials and the title of 5th-rank Grand Master.

However, after entering Xianyang, he could only be reduced to a centurion again, but his title could be nominally promoted by one rank, advancing him to the sixth rank of official.

Of course, this is only a theoretical promotion path; his official appointment in Xianyang has not yet arrived.

When Bai Qi opened his eyes, what he saw was no longer a bloody battlefield with clashing swords and galloping horses, but a majestic military camp with a map of the battlefield hanging on it.

In the commander's seat sat... Bai Qi, the burly, dark-faced Lord of Wu'an.

[By order of the King and with the strong recommendation of the Prime Minister of Wei, Qin achieved a great victory in the Battle of Xincheng.]

"Tsk, he couldn't forget Marquis Rang even in death; he truly was his first love, his white moonlight!"

[Bai Qi, in recognition of his service, is granted the title of Left Attendant; all of you shall also receive titles...]

"Zuo Geng? Isn't that Zuo Shuzhang? Oh, Bai Qi was promoted after the war."

[General Bai Qi, a hundred-man warrior, bravely charged into battle... Ji Gong was promoted to the rank of Second-in-Command of Five Hundred!]

While lost in thought, Bai Qi bowed and accepted the order from below.

"Hey, wasn't it supposed to be a general commanding a thousand men, leading a detachment? No, you're kidding me!"

Black-haired Bai Qi briefly recounted the aftermath of the Battle of Xincheng in the command tent, then his tone shifted, his joy turning to cold.

[A rebellion has now broken out in the Shu region of my Great Qin. General Sima Cuo has led an army of 120,000 into Shu to quell the rebellion.]

"Tsk, ever since Shang Yang left, Qin law has become increasingly harsh. The people of Qin can't stand it anymore; who else would they rebel against if not you?"

[The shameless states of Wei and Han have actually petitioned the ruler of Eastern Zhou to launch a full-scale attack on our Great Qin!]

"Oh, so you only need to hit them, not the other way around?"

In this battle, the renowned Korean general Bao Yuan led 80,000 troops, while the renowned Wei general Gongsun happy led 160,000 troops, forming a combined force of 240,000, which garrisoned at Yique.

My Qin army only numbers 100,000!

Upon hearing this, silence fell over the tent.

Even Bai Qi, who was constantly complaining in his heart, couldn't help but be affected by this solemnity, and felt a chill run down his spine.

The real battlefield is not a game of exchanging cards; it is a life-or-death struggle where you will be exhausted, bleed, and cry out in agony.

[Two hundred men, led by Bai Qi, stepped forward and explained the enemy's and our own situation.]

Bai Qi froze, then looked up and met Wu Anjun's eyes, which clearly held a mocking 'I saw through your secret open-book exam' in them.

"Yes, General Zuo!"

Bai Qi stepped forward two steps, turned to face the generals, and pointed with one hand towards the capitals of Han and Wei.

"Our army has won a victory. Three years ago, King Xiang of Wei and King Xiang of Han died in the same year, and the country was in turmoil."

The seven white fingers moved in sequence toward the states of Zhao, Qi, Chu, and Yan.

"Our army has won two victories. Since ancient times, the three Jin states have been united. Two years ago, King Huiwen of Zhao and Prince Zhang fought each other, and King Wuling starved to death in Shaqiu, causing an uproar throughout the country."

"Our army has won three victories. Qi wants to take over Song. King Min dismissed Lord Mengchang and appointed Lu Li, one of the five ministers of Qin, as prime minister, and made good relations with Qin."

"With the states of Qi and Wei locked in a stalemate on the border, our Great Qin can advance eastward and will be free from worry for the time being."

"Our army has won four victories. Three years ago, King Huai of Chu died suddenly while being held hostage in Qin, causing a great disaster for Chu. To express its apology, Qin took the initiative to provide Chu with 50,000 shi of grain and made peace with Chu."

"Our army has won five victories. Yan is located in a remote area. King Zhao of Yan built the Golden Terrace to try to reform the government, but the government was too far away to reach him."

Bai Qi reached out and clenched his fist.

"Therefore, our army of 100,000 fought against the combined forces of Han and Wei, totaling 240,000, without any interference from foreign forces."

"Now that we've discussed the external aspects, let's talk about the internal ones."

"Our army has won six victories, the throne of our Great Qin is secure, Wei Xiang is brilliant, General Zuo Geng's military strategy is divine, the whole army is fighting with all their might, and the Battle of Hanxin City was won in one battle."

"And then there was Queen Dowager Xuan of Qin, who, in order to stabilize the northwest border and the King of Yiqu..."

[Ahem!]

Lord Bai Qi, seated high on his throne, suddenly coughed violently, his face turning black, and he roared angrily.

[This matter involves the Empress Dowager; do not implicate her.]

Bai Qi promptly shut up, almost forgetting that everyone here except him and the sword spirit of Wu Anjun were NPCs.

If this offends someone impatient enough to stab him, he would be utterly wronged.

Bai Qi bowed slightly and apologized, saying, "I believe that Qin Xibei is safe and sound, so you can confidently head east and focus all your efforts on preparing for the battle at Yique."

"With seven victories in hand, Qin is destined for victory!"

The generals inside the tent gave him face and roared in unison.

"With seven wins in hand, Qin will surely triumph!"

Is that all?

The spirit of Wu'an Jun spoke in a flat voice, and there was a hint of disappointment in its eyes as it looked at him.

The theory of five hundred lords and seven victories is good, but unfortunately it's all empty talk, clichés, and platitudes; not a single word is a piece of truth that puts it into practice.

Bai Qi's excited expression froze. "What he said is fine."

If the person in front of him wasn't Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi, he would have dared to grab a keyboard and slap it across his face.

"What, are you jealous that I have a full map cheat?"

Do we, the people of Qin, need to care about such trivial matters when we're fighting?

【unnecessary!】

Inside the main tent, the dark brown eyes of the Shaanxi generals visibly brightened.
