Chapter 38
To become a female general, leading a great army and ride across the battlefield!
This had been her wish since she was a child!
For this reason, she preferred military attire over womens clothing, and from a young age, she practiced horse riding and archery. She also sought out teachers to learn martial arts, all so that one day she could become a general, lead troops into battle, and be a Grand General on the war-torn fields!
Has this kid finally come to his senses and learned to care for his sister?
At this moment, Lin Beifan, seeing that the other party had not responded for a long time, frowned and said, Dont you want to? If not, forget it!
Chai Yuxin became anxious: Wait! I do want to. Ive been dreaming of it!
Since you want to, why didnt you respond? I thought you didnt want to! Lin Beifan sighed.
I was just too excited, so I didnt react right away! Chai Yuxin said, embarrassed, lowering her head.
So thats it. It seems you havent changed since you were little!
Lin Beifan smiled proudly, Now that I have become the Emperor and command the nations troops, I can appoint you as a general! What kind of general do you want to be, and how many troops do you wish to lead? Just speak up! How about starting you off as a third-rank general, commanding a hundred thousand soldiers?
A third-rank general commanding 100,000 troops! Chai Yuxin lifted her head in shock.
Lin Beifan frowned, Is that too many? Well, that might be the case. Youve just become a general and have no experience in battle, which could make it hard for you to command respect. So, lets start you off with 10,000 troops instead!
No, no, no Ill take the 100,000 troops!
Chai Yuxin hurriedly said, Although I have no prior experience in warfare, I have always been working hard towards this. Ive not only practiced martial arts but also thoroughly studied military strategies and tactics, and youve seen all of this! You should give me a chance! I will definitely build you an invincible and powerful army!
Lin Beifan nodded reluctantly, Alright, Ill let you command 100,000 troops for now, but dont wear out my army!
Rest assured, I wont, I definitely wont!
Chai Yuxin laughed joyously, I, Chai Yuxin, have finally become a general! And to command 100,000 troops right from the start, haha!
Laughing so heartily, every tone brimmed with joy.
Seeing this, Lin Beifan couldnt help but feel happy himself and loudly said, No need for words, lets drink to celebrate!
Thats right, lets drink!
After several rounds of drinks, Chai Yuxin finally calmed her excited emotions and glared at Lin Beifan, saying, You scoundrel, dont think that by treating me this way, I will forgive you! Let me tell you, my father and Uncle Xiao treat you even better than they treat me. They regard you as their own son, and they even want me to be your
Chai Yuxins face turned slightly red, and then she continued, Thats why youd better restore their official positions and not let down the hearts of those two elders, got it?
Lin Beifan was immediately put in a difficult position: I can restore their official positions, but if I do, you wont be able to become a general. Can you bear that?
Why? Chai Yuxin was baffled.
Think about it, first theres your father. If hes reinstated, hell be the Grand General in charge of the nations entire military. All military appointments have to go through him. Do you think hed let you become a general and lead troops into battle?
Firstly, although you have the ability, you have no military achievements to your name. Your father is a man who strictly adheres to military discipline; he cant stand any imperfections and believes in justice over family connections. Do you really think youll have a chance to become a general?
Thats true! Chai Yuxin slapped her forehead.
Secondly, youre a woman!
Lin Beifan said, Throughout history, there have been very few women who have become generals, almost none! Your father is quite a conservative person. The likelihood of you becoming a general is almost impossible!
Yes, yes
Chai Yuxin nodded repeatedly: Thats exactly what my father is like!
Thirdly, he also wants you to become my empress
You little rascal, what nonsense are you talking about? Chai Yuxin said, annoyed, as she punched Lin Beifan.
Taking into account all the reasons mentioned, you cant have both! Either your father is reinstated to his official position, or you become a general; theres no third option. Choose one!
Maybe
Chai Yuxins eyes flickered slightly: Let my father stay at home for now! After all, hes getting on in years, and hes fought battles for most of his life; he deserves to rest at home!
Lin Beifan gave a thumbs up: Yuxin, you truly are a filial daughter!
Thank you! Chai Yuxin said, lowering her head guiltily.
After a moment, she raised her head again: But what about Uncle Xiao? Hes been serving well as the Prime Minister, loyal and without fault. You should let him be reinstated to his official position!
Lin Beifan nodded, Its possible, but you need to think it through! Uncle Xiao and your father are as close as can be, and once hes reinstated, he might also make you
I think we should forget about it. Uncle Xiao is also getting on in years and should be enjoying his retirement at home! As the younger generation, we shouldnt trouble the elderly, dont you agree? Chai Yuxin said in a panic.
Lin Beifan gave another thumbs up, Yuxin, you truly understand the greater good and are considerate of your elders. Im impressed!
Thank you for the compliment! Chai Yuxin felt even more guilty.
