Everyone was speechless after hearing this. Do you really think that anyone can be a civil servant in the other world? The comprehensive quality of civil servants in the other world is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Rub the ghost tribe with your hands is just basic training, okay?

[Alright, alright, my lord, stop being so arrogant. I already know that my lord is very powerful. If you want to go to war, just remember to call me.]

Seeing this guy so enthusiastic, Shen Yuelan naturally did everything she could to help. Anyway, she looked down on those mediocre people. The unorganized and undisciplined troops could only be used as cannon fodder and smoke bombs. Although it was a bit cruel, this was the reality.

However, having said that, Shen Yuelan waited for a long time but did not receive any assistance from the Time Management Bureau, but she did receive another long-awaited news.

That was an invitation from Gan Xingyan to join the war. Haha, it seems that the time for revenge is coming.

According to the information provided by Gan Xingyan, the power structure of the Yue Dynasty was very complex. It was an alliance formed by multiple family forces, including Nguyen, Hou Li, Hu, Chen, Li, Qian Li, Ding, etc.

The Li family is currently in a dominant position. The attack on the Northern Song Dynasty in the previous world was led by Li Shuntian, the head of the Li family.

The historical roots of this Li family are the coinage of the Li Dynasty of Annan. There are only three brothers in the family. In addition to Li Shuntian, whose original body is Shuntian Yuanbao, there are Li Mingdao, whose original body is Mingdao Yuanbao, and Li Tiangan, whose original body is Tiangan Yuanbao.

Based on the historical origins of the Li family, the three brothers were very fond of plundering the surface world related to the Song Dynasty, and the previous attack was based on such a motive.

Of course, this reason would not convince Shen Yuelan. It was absolutely the worst joke in the world that she wanted her relatives and friends to be buried with her because of some bullshit family background.

Therefore, Shen Yuelan said she would kill those three bastards no matter what, and Gan Xingyan was unable to persuade her.

[I understand your feelings, but not to mention that this matter has not even started yet, your idea is too radical and it is impossible to accomplish in reality.]

[Why can't it be completed? As long as we take them by surprise and attack them when they are unprepared, can the cooked duck still fly away? ]

[My dear, fighting is not easy at all. We are attacking an alliance of multiple forces, each of which has at least two or three surface worlds. The scale of that war is not comparable to a fight in a city.]

Shen Yuelan curled her lips when she heard that. It wasn't like they were going to annex the enemy, so why were they fighting so conservatively? Wouldn't it be better if they could just give the enemy specific targets a surgical strike?

[That… that’s what I said, but as commanders we have a lot to consider, so it’s better to take a steady and cautious approach and nibble away at the enemy step by step.]

[Okay, okay, you are the boss, you have the final say, anyway, I just want to participate in the war against the Li family. ]

After reaching a consensus, Shen Yuelan hung up the phone. She originally thought that she could send troops immediately, but she didn't expect the commander to have such a personality. It seems that revenge will have to wait for a while.

The prosperity of Handan City far exceeded Shen Yuelan's imagination. Even outside the window of Xunzi Thatched Cottage, there were still crowds of people and it was very lively.

But this situation could not last long. After the Battle of Changping, there came the Battle of Handan. Although that war did not destroy the State of Zhao, it did cause the State of Zhao to fall into despair and it no longer had the spirit to fight for hegemony.

[Alas, history is always full of regrets. If Zhao had not lost the Battle of Changping, could it have unified the world? If the Jin Dynasty had not perished, would the world node of China's unification of the world have been advanced? We can make countless assumptions, but there are no ifs in history. ]

[What's wrong? Master, why do you suddenly have such a feeling? ]

[Ah, nothing, I just felt inspired when I saw the beautiful scenery outside. ]

[Eh? My Lord has such a sentimental side? This really surprised Du Juan, hehe.]

Shen Yuelan's originally gloomy mood was broken by Du Juan who suddenly appeared from behind her.

[You little bastard, who are you looking down on? Wait till I show you how I’m going to deal with you!]

Shen Yuelan easily caught Dujuan and gave her a tickling punishment. During the play, she suddenly realized that everyone around her cared about her in their own way.

Am I such a happy person?

Chapter 212: Branch History

Intelligence is needed to get things done. Shen Yuelan made inquiries from many sources and finally got some details about Changping's situation from Shangguan Xi.

It is said that Lu Buwei, who was passing by there, did something that was out of the historical track. So what exactly did this guy do?

According to Shangguan Xi, when Lü Buwei passed by there, he had a traffic accident with Feng Ting who was also passing by there. The two carriages collided with each other. Feng Ting's carriage was of poor quality, so the damage was particularly serious.

Feng Ting, who could come up with the strategy of driving away wolves and tigers, was not a good person at all. He refused the monetary compensation proposed by Lu Buwei and insisted on sending Lu Buwei to prison for two days.

Lü Buwei, who was anxious to go to Qin State to lobby, was not willing to do that. The two men started fighting, and Lü Buwei accidentally pushed Feng Ting out of the carriage.

As luck would have it, one of the horses in the caravan was startled by the sudden situation and Feng Ting was trampled to death by the horses.

Without this troublemaker, how could the Battle of Changping be fought? History has undergone a major shift. In order to protect the original history, it is now in a state of self-repair and a new historical branch is being generated. This is also the reason why Shen Yuelan and others were unable to enter before.

What Shangguan Xi and the others need to do now is to correct the history of this singularity and then eliminate the historical branch that is about to be born. Although it is not a big problem if left alone, the birth of each branch history will consume a lot of energy on the surface world. Therefore, it should be avoided if possible.

As for why history deviated, Shangguan Xi's investigation showed that this was a typical black swan event. Although the probability of it happening was very low, it was not impossible.

When Shen Yuelan thought about her recent experiences, she suddenly discovered a terrible fact: this incident was most likely related to her.

It is clearly recorded in history that Lü Buwei brought things worth 500 gold into Qin, but this time, Lü Buwei only brought treasures worth 400 gold, because the 100 gold was given by him to Shen Yuelan.

In other words, Lu Buwei's convoy, with its burden lightened, would travel faster than its original speed, which is most likely the culprit that caused the car accident.

The more Shen Yuelan thought about it, the more scared she became. She had never expected that her greed for money would cause such a big mess. No wonder at such a critical juncture in history, not a single hair could be lost. If it was lost, it would collapse in a minute.

If such a big mess is discovered, Shen Yuelan will be dead. The only thing to do now is to help Shangguan Xi and others speed up the handling of the incident. This is the definition of a black swan event.

After thinking of a solution, Shen Yuelan immediately began to pack her luggage and rushed to Changping with Du Juan and Huan Yan. As for Shen Suchang and others, she left them behind as a reserve force. In case something happened, there would always be someone to rescue her.

[Woohoo! That’s great. I can kill people and set fire to things!]

[You murderer and arsonist! We are here to help, not to cause trouble!]

[But the Time Management Bureau will never allow us to participate in the revision of history, so the only thing we can do is to eliminate the branch history.]

[And the so-called elimination of branch history means dealing with all the creatures in the branch history and completely destroying that branch world. 】

[Eh? Is that so? So violent? Isn't this a bit too cruel?]

[Cruel? It is true for the creatures in that branch world, but even if we don't deal with them, they will become rootless duckweed because they are far away from the main line of history and gradually die out.]

[And the energy dissipated after the death of those creatures, if they are close enough to the main line of history, will be captured and absorbed by the main line to make up for the consumption of the main line's birth of the branch history.]

[So, if I want to participate in the historical mission of destroying the side quest, I may have to destroy the seven kingdoms once, right? ]

[Yes, I can defeat seven countries with my own strength! I am excited just thinking about it. My Lord is going to achieve what Alexander failed to achieve.]

Shen Yuelan weighed her own weight and felt that this task was a bit arduous. Even if she counted those ghost troops, she only had 200,000 troops at most. It might be enough to destroy the impoverished and weak State of Qi, but if she went to fight Qin and Zhao, it would be hard to say who would destroy whom.

[Okay, let's talk about it when we get there. I won't really go and fight all seven countries, but it won't be a problem to take down one or two.]

After Shen Yuelan arrived near Changping, the task assigned to her by Shangguan Xi turned out to be a side quest, which made Shen Yuelan feel no excitement at all.

[Look at you, it's just a job, why do you need excitement? Before I came, Hua Ju had already instructed that if you come to help, you will be asked to handle the branch history.]

[Although fighting and killing are not good, it is always a way to relieve stress. You have been under a lot of psychological pressure over the years, and we all see it, so just go and have fun.]

[You can play it any way you want, as long as you make that world collapse. There is no need to feel any psychological burden. The branch history is just an illusory dream. We are just speeding up its collapse process.]

When Shen Yuelan heard this, she thought, "Oh my goodness, is he going to be the villain?" Humph, isn't he just a villain? Isn't he just the big boss?

Nowadays, villains are more flesh and blood than protagonists, so where is my Demon Lord look? Change it quickly. Oh, let me think about it. What setting should I give myself?

[Master, since you have already put on your Demon Lord makeup, let's use the theme of the Demon Cult destroying the world. I am your left protector, and Du Juan is your right protector.]

[Yes, yes, yes, this way my ghost army can also come in handy, hahahaha, let the seven countries in the branch history feel the horror of the devil's advent!]

In response to Du Juan's hearty laughter, the sky suddenly darkened and a chilling wind blew. Seeing this, Shen Yuelan, who was still not satisfied with the setting of the Demon Lord, suddenly thought of an interesting idea.

In 265 BC, the world suddenly changed. The seven countries in the Central Plains under the framework of the Zhou Dynasty were suddenly invaded by two evil forces. One of them was called Lanjiao, which lived in the west and had been invading Qin State continuously in recent years. The Qin army and civilians suffered terribly for a while, and Qin State was no longer able to move eastward.

The other party was called the Ghost Clan, which invaded the State of Yan from the north. The key point was that they succeeded. Originally, the Ghost Army had only more than 100,000 soldiers, but after killing all the soldiers and civilians in Yan, the Ghost Clan's troops continued to grow and developed into a large army with a size of more than 500,000, threatening the borders of Zhao and Qi at all times.

The most infuriating thing is that the Ghost Emperor actually brought up the previous Qi Qin's enthronement and proclaimed himself the Emperor of Yan, trying to place himself above the King of Zhou and the six kingdoms.

If the Lan Sect still has the effect of restraining the Qin State's eastward expansion, then the Ghost Clan is a complete and utter threat.

Chapter 213: Retreat to Xianyang

[Master, even though we haven't been given a deadline to complete the task, isn't it a bad idea for us to take our time? ]

[Huanyan, am I just trying to slack off? I can't beat them. Who can stand the fact that 300,000 or 400,000 people are fighting at any time?]

[That being said, we can't just sit there and waste time. The longer the branch history extends, the harder it will be to recover the energy.]

[Of course we can't just waste time. We are now developing, developing in a sleazy way. I am waiting for Du Juan to grow stronger. When the ghost tribe under her control grows to a scale of millions or tens of millions, we will truly have the strength to face the six countries alone.]

[When was that? Dujuan took advantage of the fact that we attracted the attention of other countries to destroy Yan State. Now other countries are very smart, and it will not be easy to recreate the situation of destroying Yan State. ]

[Humph, there are more than just the six kingdoms in this world. There are more than a million people in Jizi Korea, Xirong, Beidi, Nanman, Dongyi, Rome, Tianzhu, etc. Don't worry, we haven't been idle during this period. It won't be long before we get news that the world is beginning to collapse. ]

[Eh? If that's the case, why don't we destroy the seven nations first, instead of leaving them to the end? ]

[Alas, the achievement of Qin Shi Huang unifying the six kingdoms is the dream of every Chinese, and I, your master, am no exception. In reality, there is no chance for me to do so, but in this history that is about to collapse, I will try it anyway.]

[Well, the first emperor unified the six kingdoms mainly to eliminate the ruling class of the six kingdoms. Master, you unified the six kingdoms to exterminate their entire clan. The nature of the two is completely different.]

[Who cares? Just do it.]

Dujuan did not make Shen Huanyan wait too long. More than a month later, the ghost army that rushed back from all directions gathered under the city of King Yan, preparing to march towards their final goal.

At the same time, the remaining six countries also got the news and began to unite, with King Zhaoxiang of Qin as the leader and the four princes of the Warring States Period as commanders. Lian Po, Bai Qi, Li Mu, and Wang Jian were all their generals, and Fan Sui, Lin Xiangru, Lu Buwei, and Xun Kuang were all their counselors. Millions of troops gathered south of the Great Wall of Zhao and confronted the ghost army not far away.

[Now, the elite troops of the six countries are all out, all in the south of the Great Wall, and the capitals of each country are empty. Even the most evil Qin country has only left 100,000 troops to defend the western border. Now is the best opportunity for us to complete our great cause of destroying the world.]

[Master, isn't this taking advantage of someone's misfortune and winning unfairly? ]

[Today's situation was driven by me. It was originally part of the plan, so it can't be considered taking advantage of someone's misfortune. And your previous reminder was right. We should speed up. It would be bad if the branch history was extended too long.]

At this moment in Xianyang, only King Zhaoxiang of Qin was in charge. Many famous ministers and generals such as Fan Sui and Wang Jian were all in the north. However, he had thought about leaving some guarantees for himself. Zheng Anping, who was strongly recommended by Fan Sui, was kept by him to be responsible for the defense of Xianyang, and Wang Ji was kept by him to preside over the military and political affairs of Qin.

When Shen Yuelan saw this information, she almost set off firecrackers to celebrate. Shen Yuelan was very aware of her own command ability. If she met someone like Bai Qi, she would probably die without knowing how she died, and in the end she would have to rely on Huan Yan to clean up her mess. But Shen Yuelan believed that she could still bully people like Zheng Anping.

Zheng Anguo was the benefactor of Yinghou Fan Sui. In the main history, he was the culprit that caused the Qin army's disastrous defeat in the Battle of Handan. Shen Yuelan felt that as long as the scene of besieging him was reproduced, this guy would collapse without a fight.

As for Wang Ji, he is a rubbish leader who refuses to share any benefits with his subordinates. Sooner or later he will be killed by his own subordinates. He poses no threat and neither of them is a concern.

The war was about to break out. The Qin Ruishi on Shen Yuelan's side were much more excited than she had imagined. After all, this was another war of unification after a thousand years. The unification gene engraved in their blood by the First Emperor began to become active again, and they were not afraid even if their opponents included their former motherland.

Along with Shen Yuelan's order, the heavy horn sounded slowly, and the armies on both sides began to slowly move towards each other. Yes, you read that right. Zheng Anping did not retreat to Xianyang City. Instead, he deployed his troops in the wilderness, as if he was planning to fight a Spring and Autumn War with Shen Yuelan.

The Qin warriors, who were supposed to be wearing Qin army armor, actually took the initiative to change their equipment after a version upgrade.

Shen Yuelan secretly looked back and thought, these guys are so smart that they actually changed to 21st century thermal weapons. I wonder if their fighting style has also changed.

The power of thermal weapons was quite obvious in the early stages of the war. When the two armies were still hundreds of meters apart, Shen Yuelan took the lead in opening fire.

The armor of the Qin army was completely powerless against the bullets. The Qin soldiers in the front row fell to the ground like dumplings, and their companions behind them didn't even know what was happening.

But King Zhaoxiang of Qin and Zheng Anping, who were standing on the city wall of Xianyang, saw clearly that it was the stream of fire released from the enemy camp that killed their own soldiers.

[Anping, the enemy's archers have started firing arrows. What are our archers doing? Why aren't they fighting back?]

[Your Majesty, the enemy's crossbows have a longer range and higher accuracy than ours. Our crossbowmen can't even reach the enemy right now.]

[What? The enemy actually has such a powerful weapon? How come we didn't have any intelligence before? How did you guys do it?]

[Quick, at all costs, get me a sample from the enemy, then copy and build it as soon as possible and equip the troops.]

[But my king, even if we get the enemy's crossbows, we can't copy them in a short time, so it will be useless in this war.]

[Then grab the weapons from the enemy. I will never allow the enemy to have weapons more advanced than the Qin Dynasty! Stop talking nonsense, go!]

【promise!】

The emergence of firearms made the Qin high-ranking officials extremely anxious, but what made them even more furious was yet to come. When the Qin army finally rushed to the front of the enemy and started to engage in close combat with them, they were surprised to find that their swords could not even cut through the enemy's armor.

They are not good at long-range or close combat, so how can they fight this battle? The morale of the Qin army, which was originally high, began to decline after experiencing two consecutive defeats. If it weren't for King Zhaoxiang of Qin standing on the city wall, they would have run away long ago.

King Zhaoxiang of Qin naturally noticed this. After repeated consideration, he had to issue a retreat order. The army's patience had reached its limit. If they continued, they would lose everything, so it was better to retreat to Xianyang.

Chapter 214: No One

[Master, aren't we bullying others by doing this? Using hot weapons to fight against cold weapons? ]

[Bullying? This is just the beginning. You haven't seen them bully even more.]

[There's more? ]

[Of course, for example, those ghosts that made them helpless. ]

[That's okay. Ordinary ghosts aren't much stronger than ordinary people, so it's not like they can be bullied.]

[Really? What if it's in the millions? ]

[Uh, that was still a nightmare, Master. I don’t understand why you treat the Seven Kingdoms so harshly. They should be considered your motherland, right?]

[Mother country? It is indeed the case. It is precisely based on this understanding that I left the seven Chinese countries to the last. Otherwise, why do you think they have survived until now? ]

[The extension of the branch history is about to reach its limit. We need to speed up to complete this task, and I also hope to talk to those people as soon as possible. ]

[Those people? Are they King Zhaoxiang and his men? ]

[Yes, those emperors, generals, celebrities and scholars. We can ask them some questions here that we are embarrassed to ask in the main history. Don't worry, after the collapse of this history, there will definitely be no trace left.]

[Really? Then can I ask them about the topic of reproduction? ]

[It's up to you, just don't give me another one.]

The Lan Sect was calm and composed, but the enemy coalition forces of the Six Nations were not so calm. The Six Nations coalition forces, which were fighting against the ghost army, were having a headache at the moment.
