In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

"Ahhh, I'm so envious of my older brother! He gets to sleep with his wife every night—"

"Hey!? Xiao Si! You—"

Hearing the commotion inside, the two brothers who came to inform her of her promotion fell silent.

Xiang An reached out to knock on the door, but he couldn't bring himself to pull his hand back or knock on it again.

But he eventually took it back.

"I think it's probably because Xiao Si has accumulated too much pressure during this period of fighting." He twitched his lips twice and said stiffly, "Brother, why don't you knock on the door? Your wife is inside."

"You son of a bitch..." Xiang Yu looked at Xiang An with a pained expression.

You're up to no good, kid.

"Brother, if you're going to knock, then hurry up and knock. I...I'm not going to knock anyway," Xiang An said, waving his hand as he backed away.

"I think we should leave now and come back tomorrow morning—"

Kacha!

The door opened.

"...What are you doing?" Yu Meiren glared at the two brothers, followed by Zijuan with her head down, her face flushed red.

"No, I didn't do anything," Xiang Yu quickly waved his hand.

"Ah, we're here to inform Xiao Si about his promotion. Xiao Si, you're now a division commander! The division commander of the Third Division! Don't forget to come to my place tomorrow morning to review the troops." Xiang An spoke very quickly, and his words flowed freely, leaving Xiang Yu standing there bewildered in the wind.

The air fell silent.

"Um—" Xiang Yu tried to break the silence.

"Xiao Si, let's go." Yu Meiren pulled Zijuan away.

Xiang Yu: ......

......

The next day, the grand crossing of the Huai River began.

As always, Xiang Liang led the way, followed by Xiang Yu and Xiang An, and the entire army advanced in an orderly manner towards the north of the Huai River.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in Xiapi, Song Yi's army had already begun its siege of the city.

Because of the swift action and the lack of prior warning, Xiapi's response to Song Yi was extremely chaotic, and their resistance was very hasty.

Xiapi was Xiang Liang's planned encampment point. It was located at the confluence of the Si River, Ju River, and Yi River, a delta area with excellent transportation capacity. Taking Xiapi meant that the transportation of grain and supplies would not be greatly affected, which was crucial for Xiang Liang's control over the old Chu region.

However, the fact that Xiapi is now in the hands of Qin Jia and Jing Ju makes Xiang Liang feel extremely disgusted.

"Han Xin, what do you think we should do to attack Pengcheng?" Xiang An was sitting in the carriage, chatting with Han Xin, who was sitting opposite him.

"Pengcheng is difficult to attack," Han Xin concluded immediately. "Extremely difficult!"

"The General was able to recruit a large number of troops under the guise of restoring Chu, and so did Qin Jia. Even when King Chen raised his army in Dazexiang, he did so under the pretext of restoring Chu, because they all knew that in Chu, nothing could compare to this saying." Han Xin tapped the table. "Now they have 30,000 troops at their disposal, and Pengcheng is a large city with high and thick walls, so this battle will be very difficult."

"Qin Jia is not a reckless and impulsive person. On the contrary, he is very smart and bold. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to establish another King of Chu after the Grand General had supported the King. He must have his own reasons for doing so."

"His current sphere of influence extends from Pei County in the north to Xiayi in the west, from Xiapi in the east to Zhi County in the south. It must be said that it is already very large. In a short period of time, he has reached nearly half of the area of ​​Western Chu."

"but--"

Han Xin made a change of tone, raised his head to look at Xiang An, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"…Go on, keep going, why are you stopping?" Xiang An glared at him. "After all you've said, I think Pengcheng is pretty easy to take."

"Shall the general speak first?" Han Xin looked at Xiang An with a smile.

“...I feel like you’re just like my older brother, you both like to only say half of what you mean, it’s so annoying.” Xiang An rolled his eyes. “Pengcheng is the largest transportation hub between the Yellow River and the Huai River. The reason why Pengcheng is difficult to attack, besides the city walls and the number of troops, is because the surrounding cities can come to its aid too quickly. That’s the hardest part.”

Xiang An tapped the table: "So, if we want to take Pengcheng, Dangcheng, Sishui, Peicheng, and Xiapi are the four most important places. Whether from the perspective of transportation or support, these cities are of utmost importance. Moreover, we must also take into account the possibility of Qin Jia taking the initiative to attack, which will further increase the variables on the overall battlefield."

"Yes! The key lies in these cities!" Han Xin's eyes lit up. "General's thoughts are exactly the same as mine!"

"The general must have taken this into consideration, which is why he led the main force to the east, towards Dangcheng and Sishui, in order to cut off the enemy's support. I must say, this move was excellent."

Han Xin nodded and said again, "With General Song Yi going to attack Xiapi, there shouldn't be any major problems. After all, it's hard for Qin Jia to imagine that the General would arrange an entire army to attack Xiapi without taking a single city. At least the news will definitely not leak out."

“So, our mission is not to capture more cities.” Xiang An pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes. “Instead, before Qin Jia can react, we should head directly towards Pengcheng, tie down our main force there, and once the General has captured Dangcheng and Sishui, Qin Jia will naturally lose the upper hand.”

“Fleeing north should be their only option.” Han Xin nodded. “At that time, all that will be needed is a simple pursuit. This should be easy for General Xiang Yu and you, General.”

He smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xiang An.

"You rascal..." Xiang An shook his head with a smile, "You really have a quick mind, and you're really sharp-tongued."

"Qin Jia must have chosen to settle in Pengcheng because of its lightning-fast speed of both receiving and receiving reinforcements. Now, they've cut off both of his options!" He slammed his hand on the table and burst into laughter. "That's killing him by undermining his spirit!"

"General, aren't you the same in this respect?" Han Xin smiled and looked up at Xiang An.

Xiang An's smile froze on the spot, and then he looked uncomfortable.

"The same?...Yes, the same..." Xiang An sighed. "However, what's needed now is this kind of viciousness. Without this kind of viciousness, it would be impossible to win this war relatively easily."

"If we can win, let's be ruthless... let's be ruthless."

"I don't care about bad reputation, I don't want to worry about that. What I want to see is..."

Xiang An rested his elbows on his knees and pursed his lips.

"It's just that the world is at peace."

------------

Mini-Theater Sixteen (or perhaps a mini-theater?) contains minor details about the various Servants.

I don't know if this counts as a mini-drama, but some settings aren't written in the plot or the panel, so I just created a place like this to explain them to everyone, hehe.

1 Anno Saber

Due to well-known reasons, the details in the Ken'an arc are almost non-existent. Later, many short dramas were used to supplement the character settings, but the effect was still not ideal. There are still some settings that could not be written. Therefore, before the Ken'an arc is reset, some small details are written here.

Anno was once struck by lightning during a war. Apart from his armor turning a little black, it didn't change much. It took a long time to clean the armor afterwards.

Anno often massages his facial muscles when he is alone. He still hopes to be more gentle in his facial expressions when teaching younger people, but the effect has not been good.

Anno's knuckles are relatively large and hard, and coupled with his great strength, he can easily crush the bones or other hard parts of any creature.

2 Bindu Assass

The boots used for speed training by Bindo are extremely heavy, to the point that a normal adult would be unable to move after wearing them.

Although Bindo is known for his unique swordsmanship, he has never actually used it in a normal battle; he always acts according to the most basic chivalrous principles.

Bindo was often tricked by Gareth, a situation that only stopped after Gareth officially became a knight, which further increased Bindo's gratitude towards the knight selection system.

3 Lawrence Caster

Lawrence actually tried wearing skirts during his lifetime, but it was for art and not out of a fetish, at least that's how he explained it.

Lawrence is incredibly flexible, and incidentally Halle Bieber is as flexible as she is, so Lawrence often strikes some very unusual poses in a corner when she's looking for creative inspiration.

Lawrence disliked eating eel, finding it extremely fishy. In fact, he had a very low opinion of most fish, and when making soup, he would usually only use seaweed and other similar ingredients, refusing to use fish.

4 Manrio Caster

Manlio was very well-suited to cross-dressing, and he himself didn't care much about his gender. So during his lifetime, he was often dressed in women's clothing and taken out to social events by Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Ghirlanda, and a few others, and it has to be said that the response was very good.

Manlio had very poor eyesight, so he had to spend a very long time conducting on-site investigations every time he designed a building, more than twice as long as other architects.

Manlio actually had a love affair during his lifetime and had descendants, but his descendants do not seem to be famous.

5. Simonetta Berserker

Simonetta was very fond of fighting, and even when she was six or seven years old, she engaged in considerable brawls with adults. However, this behavior was stopped after her first marriage, and since then, the biggest weapon she has ever used is probably a kitchen knife.

Simonetta's canines were naturally sharp; they didn't become sharp after she became a vampire servant.

Simonetta hates having her nails cut, both in her previous life and now as a Servant. If you force her to cut her nails, she will cry for a long time.

6. Anno Satomura (assass)

Zuocun's cooking skills are actually quite good, especially in slicing raw fish and making sushi. He can make delicious sushi that even a master chef cannot make. By the way, he is also very good at making raw marinated shrimp.

Zuocun is particularly popular with birds, but sometimes he is troubled because when he falls asleep outside, he wakes up to find himself covered in bird droppings, as it takes him a long time to clean them off.

Zuocun enjoys drinking alone under the moon, but usually he'll complain a lot to himself when he's alone. However, he won't do that if someone is around.

7-Star Bear Snow Girl Avenr

Aside from their overall demeanor, Kuroyuki and Shiroyuki do have some subtle differences. For example, Kuroyuki's hair is slightly longer and more resilient than Shiroyuki's.

Another difference between Kuroyuki and Shiroyuki is that Shiroyuki is terrified of fish and rarely touches them, while Kuroyuki, though afraid, will viciously eat the fish.

Kuroyuki would find standing for long periods tiring, but she also doesn't like sitting. If she were born in modern society, she would become a shut-in.

Kuroyukina once asked Shuten-dōji about the appearance of Hoshiguma-dōji, a demon from Mount Ōe. After learning that Hoshiguma-dōji was not a beautiful girl, she became depressed for a long time.

Shirayuki loves the sound of thunder, but there is no thunder outside Chaldea, which sometimes makes her look melancholy.

Shirayuki is easily deceived. The person who has deceived Shirayuki the most is Ibaraki-dōji. However, every time Ibaraki-dōji has to comfort Shirayuki for a long time because she is sad because she was deceived, but he will still be eager to deceive her again next time, and Shirayuki will still fall for it.

Even in human form, a mother bear can open her mouth very wide, but she generally doesn't do so because it would make her look less attractive.

When the mother bear transforms into human form, she seems to retain some of her bear habits. For example, she loves to lick people, but because her tongue is somewhat rough, it can be very painful.

Mama Bear once won first place in a sumo wrestling match in Chaldea, but her weapon was quite unique, lol.

8 Shuixinzi Zhengxiu berserker

While forging, Shui Xinzi Zhengxiu could actually hear others talking, but he would absolutely ignore them.

Mizushinko Masahide absolutely loves ramen, and it has to be tonkotsu chashu ramen. He also loves Naruto and the Naruto anime, but he never lets anyone know that he watches anime.

Mizushinko Masahide would actually throw any knife he wasn't satisfied with directly into the furnace, causing his furnace to frequently break down. It seems that Leonardo da Vinci, who was in charge of maintaining the equipment, had an argument with him about this.

9 Lemonyncer

Lemony's pectoral muscles are actually very sensitive. If someone pokes Lemony's pectoral muscles while he's asleep, he'll probably wake up instantly and summon a golden spear to point at you. It's a no-go zone.

Lemoni's bodily fluids are acidic; all bodily fluids have a strong acidic smell, including but not limited to sweat, blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid.

Lemony once tried mixing drinks with his own blood and got some really good drinks, so he would add a little of his blood to his drinks whenever he wasn't drinking with Ocean and the others.

10+ Miya Berserker
