Empress: You Were Told to Guard the City, So Why Did You Sell Out the Nation?

After transmigrating, Jiang Zhen became the orphaned son of a Zhao general.

Just then, a million troops from Qin, Han, and Wei joined forces and threatened the border.

Unwilling to let her country fall, the empress asked Jiang Zhen to lead thirty thousand men against the enemy.

Thirty thousand versus a million. How could he possibly win?

Jiang Zhen was just about to flee when the System activated.

One million taels of silver could be exchanged for 1,000 steel swords.

One million taels of gold could be exchanged for 3,000 soldiers in golden armor.

Five million taels of gold could be exchanged for the blueprints to a repeating crossbow.

What should Jiang Zhen do when the empress has no money to give him?

He starts an auction on the battlefield.

"Jia Yu City, starting bid: 100,000 taels. Highest bidder wins."

"Shi Duo City, starting bid: 200,000 taels."

"Mu Zhou City, starting bid: 300,000 taels."

The three great powers all rush to bid, and the empress flies into a rage:

"I told you to defend the cities, and you sold out the country?"

But when Jiang Zhen appears with a million troops, everyone realizes they've been fooled.

The empress says:

"My husband, you've worked so hard. Let me rub your back."
