"Ding~!"
"Respected Host, Random Warlord Summon Card (Purple) x1... usage successful!"
"Congratulations to the Host, you have obtained: Princess Pingyang... Li Xiuning (Purple)."
"???"
"Who?"
Hearing the system prompt in his ear, Qin Feng almost fell off his horse.
Princess Pingyang?
Li Xiuning?
A woman?
Is this a mistake?
We're in the middle of a war!
A woman suddenly appearing amongst a bunch of stinky old men?
Even if they were all loyal to him, wouldn't there still be some commotion?
Isn't this just causing trouble?
"Ding~!"
Perhaps sensing Qin Feng's thoughts, the system stated calmly.
"If the Host dislikes her, shall this system replace her for you?"
"Replace, replace..."
Qin Feng, who was about to ask the system to switch, suddenly froze.
Long black hair? Long legs? Melon seed face? Willow-leaf eyebrows?
Everything you desire is here!
The projection that suddenly appeared before him perfectly matched Qin Feng's preferences.
If he had to describe it in one sentence, it would be...
A fleeting glance, a lifetime's fate. Gazing upon jade-like skin, clouds hide the moon.
"Host, are you sure you want to replace her?" The system's slightly teasing voice sounded.
"Replace, replace what? Isn't it too much trouble!"
Qin Feng, regaining his senses, ignored the system's teasing and swallowed the words that were already on his lips.
"Whether she's good-looking or not is not important, the important thing is that Princess Pingyang is quite famous!"
"I remember she trained the Niangzi Army, right?"
"It's her!"
"Heh..."
With a laugh of unknown meaning, the system fell silent again.
"Don't leave!"
Seeing that the system had stopped speaking, Qin Feng became a little flustered.
"You haven't told me when she'll arrive!"
"Don't tell me our more than ten thousand troops have to wait for her?"
"And..."
"If she comes alone as an advisor, what if she encounters danger on the way?"
"..."
The system, annoyed by the chatter, directly posted an attribute sheet.
...

...
"Hiss~!"
"System, these attributes... are a bit exaggerated, aren't they?"
Looking at Li Xiuning's attribute sheet, Qin Feng was stunned.
What is called magnificent?
This is magnificent!
If you didn't look at the name, and were told these were the attributes of some top strategists, many people would believe it.
Uh?
Alright!
Her four-dimensional attributes are indeed quite balanced, but they still reach the top tier of purple cards! (Purple grade 90-94, Gold grade 95-99.)
More importantly,
She's beautiful!
With those long legs, such attributes are a surprise within a surprise.
Anyway, Qin Feng is very satisfied!
As for the rest?
If it's not enough, I can just go find some strategists from the late Han Dynasty and kill them.
Others might be hard to find, but wouldn't Zhuge Wolong be easily found?
Eh?
Something seems wrong!
It's only 184 AD now, Zhuge Wolong is still a little kid?
It doesn't matter if Qin Feng is lost in thought, but the officials on the city walls of Zhuo County nearly had collective seizures.
"What should we do?"
"What are we going to do?"
Looking at the disciplined soldiers below the city, Liu Qi, the Prefect of Zhuo Commandery, stamped his feet anxiously.
"Such elite soldiers, yet they are not the army of our dynasty?"
"These damnable rebels!"
"They should all die!"
"..."
Wang Tie, the Commandant of Zhuo Commandery, reminded him cautiously.
"My Lord Prefect, Zhuo County currently only has a thousand defenders, and they are all hastily assembled young men."
"..."
Liu Qi's expression faltered, and he turned to glare at Wang Tie angrily.
"Then what are you waiting for?!"
"Recruit people!"
"Round up everyone loitering on the streets to be conscripted!"
"Ah?"
Wang Tie was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly.
"All of them?"
"Round them up!"
Looking at the cold glint of sabers below the city, Liu Qi gritted his teeth fiercely.
"If there aren't enough people, go and round them up from their homes. Anyone who is an adult can be a soldier!"
"???"
After confirming that Liu Qi was not joking, Wang Tie was the first to object.
"My Lord Prefect, you must know that our original troop strength was only five hundred!"
"And those five hundred were also recruited locally!"
"Are you trying to start a mutiny?!"
"..."
Reminded by Wang Tie, Liu Qi finally calmed down.
Indeed!
If he really did that, before the rebels attacked, his own soldiers would go on strike first.
But if not?
Glancing at the rebel army below the city, which was beginning to change formation, Liu Qi felt despair.
This won't work, that won't work, how can he possibly stop the rebels?
He is the Prefect!
After the city is broken, others might survive, but he, the Prefect, would most likely be killed.
Rather than this,
Why not...
...
While the officials of Zhuo Commandery were seeking their own way out, Qin Feng finally awaited his strategist.
"Li... Li Xiuning?"
Looking at the female general before him, whose good figure was still evident even in her armor, Qin Feng asked a little uncertainly.
"Aren't you a strategist? Why are you dressed like this?"
"It's convenient for travel!"
As a clear voice sounded, the female general before him raised her hand and removed her helmet.
Instantly,
The air seemed to fall silent.
Her skin was as white as snow, her fair face flushed with color, and her large eyes, like black gems.
"Gulp~!"
Qin Feng, who couldn't help but swallow his saliva, said with admiration in his tone.
"I've long heard that Xiuning is as beautiful as a celestial being, and now that I see you, it's indeed true."
"Heh heh~!"
As if accustomed to Qin Feng's gaze, Li Xiuning chuckled and said.
"My Lord, you jest!"
"There are not a few women in this world as beautiful as Xiuning, not to mention they are everywhere."
"Just like the sister I met in Luoyang this time, her looks far surpassed Xiuning's!"
"Oh?"
Qin Feng's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked in surprise.
"You even went to Luoyang?"
"Of course!"
After Li Xiuning nodded affirmatively, she asked with a hint of curiosity.
"My Lord, didn't you tell me to go out and broaden my horizons?"
"Cough cough~!"
Qin Feng knew it was the system's doing, so he coughed twice and waved his hand with a smile.
"Xiuning, please forgive me!"
"There have been many things going on recently, and I temporarily forgot!"
"It's alright~!"
Li Xiuning looked up at the city of Zhuo County not far away.
"My Lord's troubles, are they related to this small city before us?"
