"Fusu, you already have 300,000 troops at your disposal, why don't you rebel?"
"When Qin Shi Huang dies, Zhao Gao will tamper with the imperial edict, and Hu Hai will definitely take the throne. Don't wait any longer!"
"Go to Xianyang and force Qin Shi Huang to give up his throne to you!"
"Fusu, it's getting cold, put on a dragon robe to warm yourself up!"
"What? The First Emperor passed away? Hu Hai took the throne? And they issued an edict asking you to commit suicide? What a good opportunity! Come on! I will write you a manifesto to purge the emperor's entourage, restore order, and usher in the Qin Dynasty's orthodoxy!"
"When you take the throne, I will help you pacify the Baiyue, fight the Xiongnu, and sweep across the entire Asian continent!"
When Ying Zheng heard such outrageous remarks, he was not angry but rather looked forward to it.
Not only that, he also asked Fusu to become Zhao Jinghong's apprentice.
"I call Lu Xiang the Second Father, and you can call Zhao Jinghong the Third Father!"
Zhao Jinghong persevered in brainwashing Fusu, helped Fusu lead his troops to rebel, and entered Xianyang, but found that everything was under the control of Ying Zheng.
"My son, do you want the throne?"

In the seventh year of Guanghe, the Yellow Turban Rebellion erupted.
Qiao Yan woke up, bound to the strategist system with code 068, from the body of a dying girl amidst a field of corpses.
The system informed her that her goal was to become the top strategist in the realm.
Sitting atop a high mound of graves, she heard slogans in the distance proclaiming “The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky will rise.” Without hesitation, she allocated all her beginner points to her constitution.
System: ??????
Qiao Yan: Zhou Yu died at the age of thirty-five, Guo Jia at thirty-seven, Lu Su lived to forty-five. A strategist who laughs last lives longer than anyone else, like Sima Yi.
System: You make sense, but please put down the spear.
[Host has achieved achievement, dissuading Lu Bu from joining Dong Zhuo 1/1, progress reward has been sent to the backpack]
Qiao Yan: 🙂
The strategist system 068 felt that it had encountered a host that was not quite normal.
She applied to learn about farming and garrisoning.
Qiao Yan: Zao Zhi pioneered farming, was enfeoffed as a marquis, Zhuge Liang led a northern expedition, established farming in the front lines. A strategist who doesn’t know how to farm is not a good strategist.
[Host has achieved achievement, persuading Qingzhou soldiers to join 1/1, progress reward has been sent to the backpack]
She gathered Jia Xu and Li Ru.
Qiao Yan: The three giants of the Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Runan clans won’t accept me, so why not let me form my own clique?
[Host has achieved achievement, persuading Zhang Xiu to join 1/1, progress reward has been sent to the backpack]
She…
She…
She…
Strategist System 057: I envy you. You’ve encountered such a proactive host. Has she become the top strategist in the realm?
Strategist System 068: Thanks for the invitation. The system’s achievements have been exhausted, and the host has proclaimed herself emperor.

Special forces operative Qin Qi transmigrates to a chaotic era where barbarians invade the borders, the court is in turmoil, and the people suffer immensely. He starts as an instant winner, already having a beautiful wife by his side.
Using his knowledge from his past life, he hunts bears and tigers to support his beloved wife, becomes a landlord, marries multiple wives and concubines, and builds his own self-defense force, gradually establishing himself in this turbulent world.
What's that? Bandits blocking the road? Die!
What's that? Barbarians invading the frontier? Die!
What's that? Corrupt relatives monopolizing power? Die!
Since that's how it is, my war will ignite, burning through thousands of armies across the land. My iron cavalry will march forth, trampling over mountains and rivers!
When I first time traveled, I thought I was simply traveling back in time, to a primitive era, when humanity had just emerged.
I also had superpowers and was immortal, so I could return to the 21st century alive.
But after a while, I found a child named Neos from a neighboring tribe whose parents had died.
Well, it wasn't a big deal. Besides, I'd never watched Warhammer and didn't know how serious this was.
Even if I had the Feng Aotian archetype, I'd probably end up like a clown in Warhammer!
What should I do? It was easy; I could become a god.
