Ling Jinhan kicked open the gate of the camp angrily, like an irritated rhinoceros, with fire almost spitting from his eyes.

He muttered as he walked: "Damn it, where did this female hero from Yun Country come from? She is more difficult to deal with than those grown men!"

As soon as he stepped into the tent, Ling Jinhan's temper completely erupted.

He first kicked over the desk in the middle with a fierce kick, and the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on it immediately fell to the ground like a "four treasures of the study" rain.

Then, he picked up a copper kettle and smashed it against the tent wall with all his strength. With a loud "bang", the copper kettle deflated into a persimmon shape, and a hole appeared in the tent cloth. The wind coming in seemed to mock his incompetence.

At this time, Shangguan Fei slowly came out from a corner of the tent, waving the fan in his hand vigorously, as if the end of the world outside had nothing to do with him.

"Oh my, Your Majesty, are you angry with the camp or yourself? Women are like a needle and a hammer in war, and they are very naive."

He shook his head as he spoke, looking just like a storyteller.

Ling Jinhan glared at Shangguan Fei and said unhappily, "Naive? I don't think you've ever seen someone so naive. You almost made my army go back naive!"

Shangguan Fei was not annoyed. He put away his fan, leaned close to Ling Jinhan's ear and whispered in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. We have to outsmart them instead of using force. Think about it, women always have some weaknesses, such as love of beauty, soft-heartedness, and..."

He deliberately dragged out the sound, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, there are also gossips! Why don't we use an enhanced version of the 'honey trap'? No, it's the 'hero saves the beauty' plan. I guarantee that she will lose her composure first."

When Ling Jinhan heard this, his brows gradually relaxed and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh? Tell me, how does the 'hero saves the beauty' work?"

Shangguan Fei proudly spread out his fan, cleared his throat, and was about to make his grand move when suddenly hurried footsteps were heard outside the tent. A soldier rushed in, sweating profusely, and shouted breathlessly.

"Report - Your Majesty, the female general in Yun Country...she...she..."

"What's wrong with her? Stop stuttering and tell me!" The anger that Ling Jinhan had just put out grew again.

The soldier swallowed and finally squeezed out a few words.

"She...she sent us a letter of challenge, saying...she said she would...challenge you in three days, in front of the battle lines of our two armies!"

"One on one? Her?"

Ling Jinhan was stunned, and Shangguan Fei's fan also stopped in mid-air. The two looked at each other, and the tent instantly fell into a strange silence.

After a moment, Shangguan Fei was the first to react and laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty, isn't this our chance? Let's use the 'opportunity against the enemy' to show her what a true 'hero saves himself' plan is!"

Ling Jinhan couldn't help but laugh, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll follow your plan. In three days, I will not only win this battle, but I will also win it beautifully, so that the female general will willingly... oh no, surrender while crying!"

Thus, a drama full of humor and wits quietly began amidst laughter (and occasional sounds of pots and bowls being smashed)...

For the next three days, Ling Jinhan and Shangguan Fei were like two students preparing for exams, except that they were not taking an exam on the Four Books and Five Classics, but on how to "elegantly" defeat a female general in front of two armies.

Ling Jinhan began to exercise frantically, running ten laps around the camp every day, shouting as he ran.

"I want to become stronger! I want to let the female generals of Yun Country know that a man's muscles are not just for show!"

As a result, after three days, not only did his muscles not grow, but his voice became hoarse like a drake due to inhaling too much dust.

Shangguan Fei, on the other hand, was immersed in studying various "ingenious strategies and plans".

One moment he said he wanted to make an "invisibility cloak" to allow Ling Jinhan to appear and disappear mysteriously on the battlefield.

Then he said he wanted to train a group of "bee agents" to sting the Yun army so badly at the critical moment that they would lose their way.

As a result, the invisibility cloak was not made, but Ling Jinhan was almost wrapped up like a dumpling; the bee agent was not found, but a swarm of bees was attracted, causing chaos in the entire camp.

Finally, the day of the decisive battle arrived.

The two armies faced each other, flags fluttered, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

The female general of Yun State rode a white horse, looking heroic and dashing. She held a spear in her hand and pointed it directly at Ling Jinhan: "Ling Jinhan, do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Ling Jinhan cleared his throat. Although his voice was still a little hoarse, he could not lose his momentum.

"Hmph, why wouldn't I dare? But I have a suggestion. How about we try something a little lucrative?"

The female general raised her eyebrows and said, "The prize? Tell me about it."

Ling Jinhan chuckled: "If you lose, you have to agree to one condition of this emperor, how about it?"

The female general snorted coldly: "If you lose, your head will be my prize!"

When Ling Jinhan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. This woman is so cruel!

But on the surface he had to pretend that nothing had happened: "Okay, then it's a deal! However, I have a small request. Can we not use weapons and do something civilized, such as... rock-paper-scissors?"

"mora?!"

The female general and everyone present were stunned, and even Shangguan Fei almost dropped the fan in his hand.

Seeing this, Ling Jinhan quickly explained: "Ahem, ahem, what I mean is, let's have a little intelligence competition, such as writing couplets or playing chess, how about that?"

The female general thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, let's play chess and decide the winner in one game!"

So, in front of the two armies, Ling Jinhan and the female general set out the chessboard and started this unprecedented "chess battle".

The soldiers around them looked at this scene in bewilderment, and they were all muttering in their hearts: "Is this... a war?"

After several rounds of fierce fighting, Ling Jinhan finally won a game with the help of the "must-win chess plan" prepared in advance by Shangguan Fei.

Although the female general was unwilling to accept the defeat, she had no choice but to accept the result of failure.

Ling Jinhan proudly announced: "Haha, I won! According to the agreement, you have to agree to one condition of mine!"

The female general gritted her teeth and asked, "What are the conditions?"

Ling Jinhan pretended to think deeply for a moment, then announced loudly: "My condition is - how about you return to my harem!"
