In the Great Qin Dynasty, I, the Unruly Commander, begin by dual-cultivating with Yan Ling Ji.

Shouchun, Chu King's Palace

King Fuchu of Chu, dressed in a magnificent and exquisite brocade robe, sat alone on the pavilion.

This brocade robe, embroidered with intricate patterns in gold thread, shimmers with a dazzling light, as if proclaiming the owner's unparalleled noble status.

His deep eyes gazed intently at the lake below, seemingly calm and serene.

But only he knew that beneath the calm surface of the lake lay turbulent undercurrents and surging waves.

Behind him stood Jing Qi, a Chu general dressed in military attire, respectfully attending to him.

Jingqi stood tall and straight like a pine tree, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly, his face solemn.

At this moment, King Fuchu of Chu slightly pulled his brocade robe tighter, seemingly trying to ward off the chill.

Then he suddenly spoke:

"My dear minister, news has just arrived from the east that the Mo family's Mechanized City has been completely annihilated by that unruly commander and his men..."

At this point, he sneered and continued, "The Bad Commander's ruthless attack on the Mo family this time is undoubtedly sending us a clear signal."

It seems that a major war between nations is now unavoidable.

Upon hearing this, Jingqi stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, this battle is truly unavoidable."

Fu Chu slowly raised his head and looked at the snowflakes drifting leisurely down from the sky. An indescribable expression appeared on his face, as if he were worried, yet also as if he were determined.

"Yes, if we don't suppress this ferocious tiger and wolf, Qin, I'm afraid the name of Chu will no longer exist a hundred years from now..."

Upon hearing this, Jing Qi felt a surge of heat rush to his head, his knees buckled, and he knelt heavily on the hard ground with a thud.

He clasped his hands together and raised them high above his head, his expression solemn and dignified, and spoke loudly and firmly:

"Your humble servant is willing to use this seven-foot body to exert all his strength to keep the brutal and ruthless Qin dynasty, as fierce as tigers and wolves, outside the gates of my Chu state."

"To avenge the fallen, brave and fearless soldiers of the Great Chu, and to seek justice for General Xiang!"

Seeing this, Fu Chu slowly reached out a hand and lifted Jing Qi up from the ground.

"I am truly gratified that you, my dear minister, possess such unwavering loyalty and a willingness to die for your cause."

"If everyone in our Great Chu could be as devoted to the country and as courageous in the face of national crisis as you, why should we fear the cruel and tyrannical Qin?" Fu Chu nodded slightly, his gaze deep and solemn.

Then, he changed the subject and continued, "This time, in order to unite with Yan and Zhao to resist the powerful Qin, I intend to appoint you, my dear minister, as the commander of my Chu army and personally lead the army into battle."

However, do you have a plan in mind regarding the number of troops needed for this expedition?

Upon hearing this, Jingqi immediately bowed respectfully again, and after a moment's thought, replied:

"Your Majesty, the Qin Kingdom's Black Armor Legion is renowned for its ferocity and ruthlessness, and its combat power is extremely formidable."

Moreover, as far as I know, the commander of the Qin army this time is that infamous and ruthless commander. As for the states of Yan and Zhao, the total number of allied troops they can muster will not exceed 700,000, of which the truly elite soldiers are probably less than 300,000.

Therefore, if we want to confront the formidable 400,000-strong Qin army head-on, our Chu state needs to send at least 100,000 troops to even attempt a battle.

Only elite troops could contend with and defeat the Qin state.

The King of Chu seemed somewhat pained, "But what if we send out 100,000 elite troops, and our land is then invaded by another Qin army?"

"Your Majesty, I have a plan. We can mobilize 50,000 elite troops from the Chu army and conscript another 50,000 from among the 100,000 peasant youths to join the campaign. In this way, we can achieve the best of both worlds..."

The King of Chu nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

“Your plan is excellent, my dear minister. I will personally entrust you with the relevant matters of conscription.”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly not fail your trust..."

Handan, the capital of the Zhao state

On the bustling streets, a tall and slender figure walked calmly down the main street of Handan.

He wore a white robe with cloud patterns, over which he wore a black mink coat.

His handsome and refined appearance attracted the attention and admiration of many women and girls.

This was none other than Ying Ziqing, the Qin general who was about to lead the army in a war that would destroy the Qin dynasty.

He came here in person for two reasons: first, to retrieve a piece of military deployment intelligence that the Bad Guys had secretly obtained at great expense; and second, to experience the local customs and culture of the Zhao Kingdom.

Yes, it's that simple.

After all, no one but himself could fathom the thoughts of the Bad Commander...

Soon, Ying Ziqing's leisurely steps came to a stop in front of a beautifully decorated pavilion.

Melodious and sweet chirping sounds emanated from within, seemingly enticing passersby to enter.

I saw the three beautiful characters "Feixue Pavilion" on the plaque above.

A faint smile appeared on Ying Ziqing's handsome face.

Then, accompanied by maids, he stepped inside...

P.S.: If we never see each other again, then good morning, good afternoon, and good night!
