Cao Yuan transmigrates to Dahua and becomes the son of the prime minister. When his father is trapped in a desperate situation on campaign, the empress seeks to use Cao Yuan as a scapegoat, kicking him while he is down by sending him to fight a massive army of Japanese raiders with just ten thousand Imperial Guards.
On the day he sets out, Cao Yuan awakens a System that lets him grow stronger through warfare.
[Eight thousand Imperial Guards lost. Their strength is decent, but their loyalty is lacking. You may reclaim: 1. Eighty thousand elite Imperial Guards, or 2. Eight thousand Qi Family Troops.]
[Detected the loss of one hundred and eighty household soldiers. They are formidable and utterly loyal. You may reclaim one hundred and eighty Yan Yun Cavalrymen.]
Cao Yuan grows stronger through war and wins battle after battle.
He wipes out the Japanese raiders and inspects the Eastern Sea, slaughters the barbarians and seals Mount Langju, crushes every sect in the martial world, rides across the northern frontier, points his sword toward the Western Continent, conquers every corner of the realm, and unites the land.
The empress, back at court, panics and sends him thirteen urgent golden decrees in a row: “My dear minister, stop conquering! That’s enough, really!”
One summer night, all the officials come to his home and drape a yellow robe over his shoulders. “Prime Minister Cao, it’s cold. Please put this on.”
He jolts upright in the middle of the night. “My loyalty is as clear as the sun and moon. I only wish to remain forever at Your Majesty’s back.”
One year later.
The empress, her belly swollen, glares at Cao Yuan. “Cao, you villain! Didn’t you say you’d always have my back?”
“Your Majesty... being behind you still counts as having your back.”
I've read Chapter 28. You can read it when you don't have the book. 😁😁😁
If you are tired of reading, this can be a good read
A good book needs no introduction.
