Even emperors have it tough, so don't be too picky about the entries.

Chen Shao was overjoyed.

With a loyalty rating of 100%, he was completely at ease.

Huaiyuan Prefecture is closest to the capital and will become a great help in the future.

As for Wu Song and the others, he was not in a hurry.

They like killing corrupt officials; this time, let's kill them all.

I refuse to believe that my heart will not turn back.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for recruiting talent! You have been granted an extra chance to draw a prize. Do you wish to draw a prize?]

"Draw," Chen Shao silently murmured to himself.

The scene unfolds again.

A middle-aged general in military uniform was coldly staring at the woman in front of him, who had a short knife stuck in her chest and was slowly falling to the ground.

Outside the tent stretched an endless army; inside lay his wife, who died with her eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Wu Qi was a man who killed his wife to gain a generalship."

"Now, fearing that the wife of a man from Qi might become a spy, I killed her."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn a general card and obtained the entry: Kill your wife to become a general!]

[Kill Your Wife to Gain a General: When you kill one of your wives or concubines, the cohesion of your faction will greatly increase, and you will gain a general!]

[Note: Indiscriminate killing of innocent people is invalid.]

Chen Shao's lips twitched violently.

This entry...

That's even more ruthless than abandoning one's wife and children.

That one was just thrown, this one was a direct kill!

Should we go back and kill Han Cao's daughter...?

If we could acquire a Huo Qubing, we could conquer the world!

The key is...

Han Qingwan has completely sided with him, and Yuwen Mingzhu has also turned against her father.

Killing him would be an ominous sign.

He's not that heartless...

Chen Shao snapped out of his thoughts and clapped his hands to signal everyone.

"There's no time to lose. Everyone, go back and reorganize your men. We'll set off in half an hour."

"Prefect Xu, you bear the greatest responsibility!"

...

Just as everyone had left, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Qingci stepped across the threshold, followed by a slender, jewel-adorned beautiful woman.

The woman was in her early thirties, with a charming demeanor in her eyes and brows. Her lake-blue silk dress accentuated her voluptuous figure.

She appeared to be extremely seductive.

She's a beauty who could make the screen fill with "mmm" (a Chinese internet slang term for someone who is overly enthusiastic or excited).

"This is?"

Shen Qingci pursed her lips and pointed to the beautiful woman beside her, saying:

"Your favorite, married woman."

"Song Lian's wife."

When did I ever reveal this secret in my heart?

Chen Shao smiled wryly and waved his hand, indicating that he was a virtuous gentleman.

His surname may not be Cao.

To everyone's surprise, Shen Qingci scoffed.

"Isn't this the kind of voluptuous woman you like? You can have your fill this time, but don't you dare try to mess with me again!"

Chen Shao suddenly realized.

Oh, so it was the influence of the "legacy of Cao Cao" that came into play.

[Whenever you arrive at a new location, a concubine will be automatically found, guaranteed in quality and quantity, and honestly provided for all ages.]

The beautiful woman gracefully bowed down.

When bowing down, deliberately lean your body slightly forward.

The already revealing neckline suddenly exposed her private parts.

Her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was soft and sweet.

"Your Majesty, I am unaware of Song Lian's actions. I am merely a woman confined to my chambers and have never concern myself with outside affairs."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse to atone for my sins."

Her eyes sparkled as she spoke.

Although she was crying, she possessed an alluring charm.

Chen Shao glanced at the expensive jewelry she was wearing.

He lifted her chin with his hand and said softly:

"In that case, how about Lady Song becoming my concubine?"

The beautiful woman was overjoyed instantly.

Concubine?

How could I possibly have the honor of being allowed to move into the emperor's harem?

She is very confident in her appearance and figure.

Even among three thousand beauties, she could stand out as the best.

But since her husband had just died, she dared not show too much joy.

Looking up at Chen Shao, her tears flowed even more profusely.

One by one, they fell to the ground, like a beaded curtain breaking.

"Your Majesty...I..."

"You don't want to?"

"No, no, no, I was just... impulsive. I'm willing."

O man!

Shen Qingci gave him a disdainful look.

The sage said that men are driven by their lower bodies, and indeed, that is true.

Chen Shao is good in every way, so why can't he pass this test?

So what are two hundred and six skeletons? Aren't they all just pretty skeletons?

Is having a career important?

She was considering whether to physically dismember Chen Shao to solve the problem once and for all, so that he could focus on national affairs.

But then Chen Shao continued softly:

"If you're willing, that's good!"

"But maybe in the next life!"

Then, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade made a whooshing sound as it cut through the air.

A horizontal slash.

The beautiful woman's head fell to the ground.

"you..."

Shen Qingci was dumbfounded.

"What...what are you doing...how could you just kill me like that..."

"Song Lian did such a thing, this woman must have known. Look at her clothes and appearance, they are extremely luxurious, all of which are the hard-earned money of the people."

"The people's hard-earned money is a blood debt, and a blood debt must be repaid in blood!"

Chen Shao carried the large sword and walked outside.

As he passed by Shen Qingci, he suddenly looked at her.

"I can guess a little bit about it; you can do it while it's hot."

Shen Qingci's cheeks immediately turned as red as the evening glow.

Feeling both ashamed and angry:

"Get out!"

......

Soon, Chen Shao led Wu Song and the others in a grand procession along the street.

We hadn't gone very far.

A boy, barely out of his teens, suddenly burst out of the ruins beside the street.

Spread your arms and stand in front of the line.

He was shirtless, his ribs clearly visible.

His dark skin was still covered with cigarette ash from last night's firefighting efforts.

A face that still looks childish, with thick eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, I want to join the army!"

The boy tilted his head back, his voice still childlike, yet already sounding somewhat firm.

Kid...

Chen Shao glanced at it subconsciously.

[Name: Yue Pengju]

Age: 8 years old.

[Military Strength: 80, Domestic Affairs: 93, Intelligence: 90, Ambition: 0.]

[Status: Starving and freezing, filled with national and personal hatred, displaying great loyalty and courage]

Pfft!

Chen Shao fell straight off the donkey.

Just as Wu Song was about to help him up, Chen Shao pushed him away.

He asked incredulously:

"What's your name?"

"Yue Pengju".

Holy crap...

This must be the general brought about by "killing one's wife to gain a generalship"!

But... he's only eight years old!

He's only eight years old!

So you have 80 units of military strength?

Chen Shao looked at himself, now 60, and felt like crying.

That's not important. Isn't this attribute just a replica of that national hero and idol from the previous life?

Chen Shaoping calmed himself down.

He patted Xiao Yuepeng's head.

Why do you want to join the army?

The boy pointed to the horrific scene on both sides.

"I will protect them!"

"Hmm, that's very ambitious, but I'm afraid it's not possible right now; you're too young."

The boy immediately stretched out his arm.

Although his arms were thin, when he clenched his fists, several firm muscle lines appeared.

"I can fight. I'm stronger than Zhang Daniu. Even at sixteen, he can't beat me."

"I've also read military books and can recite them backwards."

"That won't do either!" Chen Shao resolutely refused.

"I really know it. If you don't believe me, I'll recite it to His Majesty. I'll also rely on my troops to lead the army, and this is how I'll control the army..."

They've definitely put in the effort.

Chen Shao admired him.

This is indeed the last sentence of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

This is the essence of warfare, the foundation upon which the three armies rely for their actions.

"Stop, stop."

Chen Shao glared at him: "I don't need you now. Come find me in a few years."

"I..."

Chen Shao suddenly got stuck.

He originally wanted to say: I will definitely make you the supreme commander of all the armies in the world.

But when it reached my lips, it became:

"I will definitely not let you suffer injustice..."
