Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

The saying goes, "A smile can dissolve all enmity."

Honestly, many readers laughed when they saw this part of the story because of the silly male lead.

All I can say is that harem novels are indeed mindless.

Then, in the original work, Chi Junlin, being blinded by love, wanted to stay with the male protagonist forever, and actually handed over his military power after the army surrounded the imperial city.

So what did Red King obtain?

Absolutely nothing.

It was just a hereditary title of princess.

However, because Ding Xia relinquished his military power with a "cup of wine," he made a tremendous contribution to the Dazheng Dynasty and was rewarded by the rebellious emperor Jiang Hao with a yellow riding jacket and the right to freely enter and leave the palace.

Then, because of this plot involving his free entry and exit from the palace, the male lead repeatedly cheated on Jiang Hao.

He slept with all the concubines in the harem, including the empress.

Then everyone understood.

So, you only made these dumplings because you were jealous, you little rascal!

To add some color and satisfy their own fantasies, this scoundrel of an author will really make up any kind of rubbish!

Then, there's the story of Chi Junlin abandoning his 100,000-strong army and insisting on traveling the world with the protagonist, who was in a mess, experiencing all sorts of hardships, and finally being killed by Princess Jiang.

If it were the original Red King's Landing, these things might have been unavoidable.

But now, she is no longer the original Chi Junlin. Instead, she is a modern reader who has read the novel.

Although her body has become female, it does not prevent her from being completely unaffected by the male protagonist's idiocy.

So, with the army besieging the capital and the soldiers loyal to him, it goes without saying what he should do.

It's a bit cold, I'd like to put on another layer of clothing.

Sitting up in bed, Chi Junlin lifted the tent flap and stepped out.

She was valiant and handsome, clad in silver armor, and possessed both beauty and talent.

Even from a distance, you could tell she was a valiant and heroic female general.

But within the camp, no one dared to regard Chi Junlin as a woman.

Because after the death of the Prince of Zhenbei, she became the true commander of the 100,000-strong army in the north, the supreme commander of the Zhenbei Army!

Upon seeing Chi Junlin emerge from the main tent, two personal guards immediately bowed to her and said, "Commander-in-Chief!"

Chi Junlin nodded and hummed in agreement, but his expression was somewhat strange.

Because after she came out, she saw something different.

Within the bustling military camp, it seemed as if each soldier had a cloud-like object floating above them.

Moreover, it seems that only he saw these things.

What is this? It looks like the clouds above everyone's head are different.

Some are white, some are gray, and some have a blood-red hue.

Chi Junlin looked up and saw the same clouds above him.

However, unlike the clouds of the other soldiers, her clouds were a deep, solemn red with a hint of gold.

Chi Junlin's heart stirred. Could this be the "luck" that belongs to everyone?

Then, the two generals who walked towards Chi Junlin from not far away immediately confirmed Chi Junlin's guess.

The two generals walked up to Chi Junlin and immediately saluted her, saying, "Commander-in-Chief!"

Chi Junlin then looked at the two of them.

Chi Junlin knew both of these generals.

One was the captain of his personal guard, named Zheng Gaoda. He was an orphan who had been displaced during the war and was adopted by the Prince of Zhenbei from a young age. After raising him, he served Chi Junlin and was always at his service.

The other is a fellow general of Chi Junlin, named Chi Zagu. He is also a talent cultivated by the King of Zhenbei over the years, and is now the cavalry commander of the most elite Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry in the 100,000-strong northern army.

Both men were extremely loyal to Chi Junlin and were trusted military generals whom she could absolutely rely on.

At this moment, Chi Junlin looked at the two of them and noticed that the clouds above their heads were reddish-grayish-black clouds, faintly exuding a bloody aura.

She guessed that it might be because the two had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, accumulating too much malevolent energy, which caused their luck to turn blood red.

It seems that everyone's luck is different.

Could it be that the male protagonist Ding Xia, a nobody in the martial arts world, was able to rise to great heights because he absorbed the luck of those around him?

After transmigrating to this world, Chi Junlin only gained an army of 100,000 and unparalleled martial arts skills.

But can one's own eyes see this fortune? Is that a perk of being a time traveler?

The two generals saw that Chi Junlin remained silent for a long time and seemed to be staring blankly at the sky.

Although they found it strange, their long-standing loyalty to the emperor kept them from saying anything.

At this moment, Chi Junlin realized what was happening and asked the two of them, "How is things going in the imperial city?"

The two immediately became excited and reported to Chi Jun, "Commander-in-Chief, the imperial city garrison has surrendered! The army can enter the city immediately!"

Hearing their words, Chi Junlin was not surprised, and simply nodded calmly.

As someone who knew the plot, she was very clear that the people in the capital were already preparing to surrender when they saw the army of 100,000.

It's not that the city's garrison were all spineless.

At that time, the total number of troops defending the city from all four sides was only a little over four thousand.

A city wall that stretches for over twenty kilometers, defended by such a small number of people? What's the difference between that and using a fishing net to catch sesame seeds?

It would be better to just surrender and open the city gates; that would save everyone some trouble.

As for why such a vast imperial city was only guarded by four thousand soldiers?

This brings us back to that tyrannical emperor, Jiang Hao.

In fact, long before Chi Junlin received the imperial edict, Jiang Hao had already carried out a move to consolidate military power in the imperial city.

At that time, although Jiang Hao was the crown prince, his ascension to the throne was very sudden, and there were many court officials who were at odds with him.

The 40,000 Imperial Guards responsible for guarding the capital were in the hands of another general who was not very close to Jiang Hao.

Therefore, after ascending the throne, Jiang Hao took back command of the Imperial Guard and handed over military power to his own trusted confidants.

The whole process went too smoothly, which made Jiang Hao overconfident.

It's worth mentioning that Jiang Hao has extremely poor judgment when it comes to people.

The one who took over the military power of the Imperial Guard was another nobleman's descendant who gained Jiang Hao's trust through flattery and sycophancy.

This guy isn't good at anything else, all he can do is play shuttlecock, present beautiful women to Jiang Hao, and make him happy.

However, he liked to boast about military matters, which led Jiang Hao to mistakenly believe that he was truly capable of leading troops and fighting battles.

As a result, an army of 40,000 men suddenly fell into his hands, earning him the nickname "Shuttlecock General" among the nobility.

Then, this guy had just obtained the military rank of Imperial Guard General and was preparing to show his skills.

Soon after, news came that Chi Junlin had led an army of 100,000 south.

They were immediately at a loss.

Although this guy was a court jester, he was very clear-headed.

He was well aware of his own limitations. Not to mention he had no experience in leading troops, the difference in troop strength between the two sides was as much as 60,000.

The northern expeditionary army led by Chi Junlin was a truly battle-hardened force, an elite force capable of destroying entire nations.

When it comes to experience in conquering cities and seizing territories, the Daishogunate was at the level of an ancestor.

Taking over a loosely guarded imperial city would be a piece of cake.

Because he was too clear-headed, General Jianzi understood that defending the city to the death was a dead end.

This guy then lied and said he wanted to lead his troops out of the city to intercept the Zhenbei army.

Jiang Hao readily agreed.

Then, General Jianzi led 40,000 imperial guards out of the city and fled with his troops.

When Chi Junlin heard about it, the 40,000-strong army had already gone to the territory of Goguryeo, a vassal state of the Dazheng Dynasty.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she'll soon seize control of the place and establish herself as king. Then the male protagonist will have to go there again to start a new chapter.

Jiang Hao learned of this news even later than Chi Junlin.

Chi Junlin had no idea how furious Jiang Hao would be when he heard the news.

But the result was that the last four thousand garrison troops in the city did not dare to challenge the 100,000-strong army from the north.

Thus, Chi Junlin easily captured the imperial city without losing a single soldier.

Having learned the cause and effect, Chi Junlin nodded and said to the two, "Let the army take over the city defenses, and the Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry assemble and follow me into the city."

"Here!"

After receiving the order, Zheng Gaoda looked up at Chi Junlin, his expression seemingly hesitant.

"Is there anything else?" Chi Junlin asked.

Gao Da then reported, "Commander-in-Chief, also, Young Master Ding Xia entered the city last night. It seems he spent the night in the city's brothels, ordering about ten courtesans but not having enough money to pay. Then he was... detained."

Goulan is a type of brothel industry, and given Ting Ha's character, it's not surprising that he would do such a thing.

However, Chi Junlin didn't immediately care about Ding Xia's matter. Instead, he asked in surprise, "With the enemy at the gates, how come the brothels are still open?"

The two generals exchanged a glance, and Zagu replied, "As per the commander-in-chief's orders, the army did not launch an attack on the imperial city. After entering the city, the soldiers did not harm the people inside."

Therefore, the city residents continued their lives as usual, and brothels and theaters continued to operate as before.

Chi Junlin shook his head and said, "The courtesan knows not the sorrow of a fallen nation, still singing 'The Flowers of the Rear Courtyard' across the river."

Gao Da and Zaku, two roughnecks, couldn't understand Chi Junlin's words, but they asked him again, "Should we send someone to ransom Young Master Ding Xia..."

"Going to a brothel without money? Who gave him the guts?" Chi Junlin sneered. "And what's more, a petty thug wandering the streets, dares to call himself 'Young Master'? Who gave you the right to call him that?"

Neither general dared to speak, but they were thinking to themselves, "Isn't it you, Commander-in-Chief, who told us to call you that?"

However, both of them felt that Ding Xia had gone too far.

At this crucial moment, he still went to a brothel to listen to music. And he didn't even bring any money, clearly wanting the commander-in-chief to clean up his mess.

Based on past experience, although the commander-in-chief will be angry, he will eventually go to save him.

They had tried to persuade him several times before, but to no avail.

Since the old prince died, the commander-in-chief has become increasingly willful.

Although it was obvious to everyone that Ding Xia's attitude towards Chi Junlin was getting worse and worse, Chi Junlin would forgive him again and again, no matter how angry he was.

The soldiers around him didn't know how to persuade him.

It seems this time will be the same. Although the commander-in-chief has become much colder towards Ding Xia after learning that he went to a brothel to listen to music, he is now much colder towards him.

But who knows, after a while, she might eagerly go to him again.

They couldn't understand what was so special about Ding Xia that made him so favored by both the old prince and the commander-in-chief.

Chi Jun didn't care about their thoughts when he arrived. He just waved his hand and said, "Don't bother me with any news related to Ding Xia in the future. The most important thing now is to march into the city and take control of the imperial city."

"Here!"

The two were ordered to leave.

Soon after, the camp erupted in a commotion.

After a brief sound of military orders, a large army of heavily armored cavalry stood neatly outside the camp.

The entire team obeyed orders without question; you could barely hear the warhorses snorting.

It was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

Chi Junlin was very satisfied with the appearance of this cavalry.

Because this is the elite of the elite among the 100,000 troops, the Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry, the strongest elite cavalry of the Great Zheng Dynasty, built by the Prince of Zhenbei with the full strength of the nation.

This cavalry guard of three thousand men can be said to be the strongest fighting force in the entire book.
