Among thousands, he stood clad in armor, resembling a spirited young general, showcasing Ying Zheng's exceptional talent and precocious potential. Among the emperors of Chinese history, Ying Zheng is renowned for pioneering new paths, yet this path was fraught with peril. Unlike other emperors, he had no predecessors to draw upon, relying solely on his own ambition to forge a new chapter in history.

When he led his mighty army out of the city, Lin Chaoyan, dressed as a man, and Qiu Shenji stood under a pavilion outside the city, watching his arrival.

"He's here! Little sister, are you really sure? He's not one of those modern lads. What he wants now isn't just to be an emperor on earth, he wants more. If I'm not mistaken, he wants to become the ruler of all gods..." Qiu Shenji was worried that Lin Chaoyan would be abandoned after she was no longer of any use.

"I can't bring myself to reject him, but I have to go through it all anyway. Brother, you don't need to worry that I'll lose myself because of him. I'm not as infatuated with him as you all think. I'm also quite curious about how far he'll go. Will he regret choosing this path when he finds out that his empire will perish in the second generation?" Lin Chaoyan looked at the young emperor who got off the carriage and walked towards her, and was deeply moved.

Wow, so handsome! Will he change his mind and discard me after he's served his purpose? I'm not afraid. By then, he won't be Qin Shi Huang anymore. If he dares to treat me like Ru Meng did, I'll kill him.

"As long as you know it, personal feelings are ultimately insignificant when it comes to the path of cultivation." Regardless of who Lin Chaoyan's enemy is, Qiu Shenji intends to fight back with her.

"Don't worry! I'm not love-struck. That guy suddenly disappeared recently! I don't know where he's hiding, preparing a big move. We all need to work hard to become stronger! I won't be able to eat or sleep until I kill him..." If you want me dead, why doesn't he show up?

While the brother and sister were chatting, Ying Zheng, dressed in military attire, strode towards them, looking dashing and spirited.

"Ayan, let's go!" Come on! Come and witness my life.

"Don't touch me, I'm a man now..." Lin Chaoyan dodged and moved two zhang away from him.

"Sigh... He's hoisted himself by his own petard..." Qiu Shenji said sarcastically from the side.

.....................

The Qin cavalry had been advancing for three days. Inside the carriage, Ying Zheng stroked the soft, delicate hand in his own. With Qiu Shenji as a third wheel, who would say anything about the three of them riding together? Ying Zheng was very satisfied with the current progress.

In my youth, I thought that having her would bring me lasting peace. But it seems that's not the case. Even when I hold her in my arms and experience the most intense pleasure, her indifferent, detached attitude from worldly affairs leaves me with a constant sense of unease and uncertainty. My life, which has been like walking on thin ice, only found some stability with her. In the years since I lost her, I haven't slept a single peaceful night.

Therefore, he was determined to marry her and use his status as her wife and his power to bind her.

I remember when I was young, I said I wanted to be the king of the whole world and unify it. Everyone around me laughed, thinking I was being delusional and dreaming. Only she was there to support me. She said that unifying the world and ensuring the people live in peace and prosperity is what a king should do his whole life. Having dreams is never laughable; what's truly laughable are those who laugh at you.

He vowed to give her the best of everything in the world, knowing she was such a wonderful person. He once thought she was a prophet, an immortal, and that she had shown him a different world. His ambition grew stronger every day, just as she had said that day: human desires are like a boulder rolling down a mountain; once started, they cannot be stopped.

Her vision extends beyond the human realm, and she herself cannot confine herself to it. When the world is unified, the four seas are at one, and the people are no longer suffering from the ravages of war and hunger, she will go with her to pursue a higher and farther world.

Unfortunately! He'll have a long battle ahead of him; Lin Chaoyan had planned to stall from the very beginning.

In the Qin army camp, the 450,000-strong army, led by Wang Jian, was already in full preparation for battle, waiting only for the order to march and set off.

"General Wang, what are your plans for this battle?" Ying Zheng asked Wang Jian, looking at the sand table.

Wang Jian, who rose through the ranks by fighting alongside Bai Qi, was one of the four great war gods of the Warring States period, and his abilities were beyond doubt.

"Your Majesty, we should take advantage of the battle between the Zhao and Yan armies, and with Li Mu unable to provide support due to his defense against the Xiongnu, to launch a surprise attack on Zhao and capture the most cities in the shortest amount of time," Wang Jian said after a moment of contemplation.

"Let's send troops..." This was his first time on the battlefield, and he felt that Wang Jian's plan was feasible!

Wang Jian advocated capturing cities, but Lin Chaoyan, with her sound values, believed that no matter how many cities were captured, if the Zhao army suffered no losses, it was only a matter of time before they made a comeback.

Looking at the "young man" before him, Wang Jian suddenly felt a strong urge to know his thoughts. "Lin—what are your opinions on this?"

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. After the Zhao army and the Yan army finish fighting, you launch a sneak attack..." Lin Chaoyan was interrupted by Qiu Shenji's stern voice before she could finish speaking.

"Brother! We must trust General Wang Jian. We are just insignificant nobodys; let's not be so presumptuous." It's not easy being a bystander! Even knowing the shortcut, you can't help those in history take it for them.

"...I was just talking nonsense, I have absolutely no opinion!!" Damn! I almost interfered with Wang Jian's lightning attack on Zhao.

Wang Jian: "..."

Ying Zheng broke the awkward silence, "General Wang, let's send out our troops. The time is perfect; the Zhao army should be about to engage the Yan army. Qiu Shenji, you will go with us."

"Yes..." Wang Jian looked at the two brothers with a complicated expression before leaving, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"...??? Why should I risk my life for you? I'm not going." Please! These are all compatriots! They're all Chinese...

“You’re wrong! It’s not for me, it’s for your brother…” He was certain that Qiu Shenji would go for the sake of Lin Chaoyan, his family member.

"Kid, let's go..." Before Qiu Shenji could even retort, Wang Jian dragged him away.

"Ah Zheng, aren't you going? Aren't you going to lead the army in person?" Come on! Come on! I can only go if you go. Lin Chaoyan didn't know why she felt so excited about killing.

“Ayan, this is a battlefield, we must not be reckless! We’ll discuss everything when General Wang returns…” He looked at the sand table in front of him as if he could see the future of the Qin Dynasty through it.

Under the pretext of rescuing Yan, King Ying Zheng of Qin dispatched generals such as Wang Jian to launch a pincer attack on Zhao. They successively captured Zhao's cities of Eyu, Liaoyang (northwest of Nanyang), Hejian (southeast of Xian County, Hebei Province), and Anyang (southeast of Yangyuan County, Hebei Province), thus bringing the Zhang River basin under Qin control. Therefore, it is very clear that Qin Shi Huang achieved a great victory in his first military encounter with Zhao.

The battle lasted for half a year, and Qiu Shenji became more composed after this six-month battlefield experience.

Having witnessed what war truly is, he finally took action. It's no exaggeration to say he could take on a hundred men single-handedly, and occasionally he would transform into a thunder king to save his brothers and comrades.

At this moment, Lin Chaoyan followed Ying Zheng to the battlefield. Hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers continued to march towards the northwest of Zhao. The endless army, with its banners fluttering and halberds standing tall, exuded a terrifying and deep cold light, like a dark cloud pressing down from afar, creating a suffocating scene.

This great battle took place in the Zhangshui River basin. Speaking of which, these ancient chariots were truly amazing. Ying Zheng drove the chariot in the center of the entire army, stabilizing the morale of the troops and holding a long sword. His imposing presence made him a born king.

Arrows rained down as soldiers charged into the enemy lines, fearlessly charging forward. The sounds of battle echoed across the land, blood and gore flew everywhere, and countless horses galloped, corpses floated for miles, the blood beneath their feet staining the river red, stretching like a crimson ribbon to the sky.

"kill……"

When Wang Jian, his eyes bloodshot and veins bulging on his forehead, charged straight into the enemy ranks and swept his spear across the mouth of a leader, they were all filled with rage. Their anger seemed to materialize, like dark clouds filled with lightning, rolling in towards the enemy.

The pervasive stench of blood and the scattered remains of severed limbs made Lin Chaoyan lose control several times, a sense of murder that didn't belong to her bewitching her mind.

Lin Chaoyan looked around, trying to find the reason. Amidst the deafening sounds of battle, she saw a man standing between heaven and earth, looking down upon all living beings. At that moment, Lin Chaoyan felt that she should grasp something, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

But at least that familiar aura told Lin Chaoyan that he was going to kill her people. She was trembling; just seeing his back made her hands shake uncontrollably.

The figure disappeared, leaving Lin Chaoyan with only a pair of extremely cold and ruthless eyes.

"Who are you? Who exactly are you?"

"Ayan?..." Her sudden change worried Ying Zheng, who deeply regretted bringing her to the battlefield.

"I'm fine!! My old father seems to have something to say to me..." That person looked like he was holding Him back so much that He couldn't directly intervene.

But what exactly is He trying to express?
