"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning otherworldly heroes Xue Rengui, Wei Qing, and Meng Gong, successfully condensing four imperial fates, and controlling thirty imperial fates!"
"System, deduct one hundred and thirty billion killing points, convert them into reincarnation power, and summon ancient heroes!"
Withdrawing eleven imperial fates, Yang Hao, with his hands behind his back, walked out of the great hall and stood in the Xuansheng Hall plaza, surveying the twelve golden figures.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully deducting one hundred and thirty billion billion killing points and obtaining one point three billion reincarnation powers!"
"Summon ancient heroes!" Yang Hao spoke.
"Ding! Successfully deducted six hundred and fifty million reincarnation powers, starting the summoning of ancient heroes!"
"Om~~"
At this moment, in the eighth layer of the Samsara Xuanhuang Tower, a carved figure in golden light moved instantly. A golden historical river condensed and flowed forward slightly. It extended only a few dozen feet, stopping in the Spring and Autumn period. In the magnificent scene, banners that once commanded territories flashed. Within the river, a figure in a long robe stepped out!
At this moment, in the eighth layer of the Samsara Xuanhuang Tower, a carved figure flashed and rushed into the fourth layer of the Samsara Xuanhuang Tower.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the peerless wise man of the era from the river of history—China's First Prime Minister—Guan Zhong!!"
China's First Prime Minister!!
Recommended by Bao Shuya, he served as Prime Minister, assisting Duke Huan of Qi to become the head of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn period. Internally, he carried out great reforms and strengthened the state; externally, he honored the king and repelled the barbarians, uniting the lords and pacifying the world, earning the title "Uncle Guan."
Later generations revered him as "Guanzi" and praised him as the "Forerunner of Legalism," "Teacher of Sages," "Protector of Chinese Civilization," and "China's First Prime Minister."
"View the detailed information of China's First Prime Minister—Guan Zhong!"
"Name: Guan Yiwu"
"Courtesy name: Zhong"
"Dynasty: Early Spring and Autumn Period"
"Cultivation: Immortal Emperor! (Controls thirty imperial fates)"
"Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Country's Fortune Immortal Canon!"
"Associated Troops: None!"
Experience: After his family declined, Guan Zhong, in order to make a living, partnered with his friend Bao Shuya in business, but failed. He traveled extensively for trade, encountered various people, and saw the world, thereby accumulating rich social experience.
Later, Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya respectively assisted Prince Jiù and Prince Xiǎobái. In the twelfth year of Duke Xiang of Qi's reign, Qi experienced internal strife. At that time, Duke Zhuang of Lu wanted to escort Prince Jiù back to the country. Guan Zhong decided to volunteer to ambush Prince Xiǎobái. Unfortunately, Prince Xiǎobái was not killed in the ambush, but successfully ascended the throne, becoming the historically famous Duke Huan of Qi. After Duke Huan ascended the throne, he urgently needed talented individuals to assist him. Bao Shuya recommended Guan Zhong, who entered Qi and was appointed Prime Minister. Prince Xiǎobái called Guan Zhong "Uncle Guan."
In the third year of Duke Huan of Qi's reign, Guan Zhong suggested sending troops and easily destroyed the state of Tan. Two years later, at Guan Zhong's suggestion, the lords held a meeting. Sui was also invited but did not participate, so Guan Zhong directly dispatched troops and annihilated Sui. The following year, Duke Li of Zheng returned to the country, killed Ziyi, killed his benefactor Fu Xia, and forced Grand Master Yuan Fan to commit suicide. After ascending the throne, to consolidate his position, he sought an alliance with Qi. Guan Zhong seized this opportunity to propose another meeting of the lords, uniting them and pacifying the world. From then on, Duke Huan of Qi became the recognized hegemon.
During his tenure as Prime Minister of Qi, he carried out great reforms and strengthened the state internally. Externally, he honored the king and repelled the barbarians. In the forty-first year of Duke Huan of Qi's reign, Guan Zhong passed away. Later generations revered him as "Guanzi."
"Ding! Successfully deducted six hundred and fifty million reincarnation powers, starting the summoning of ancient heroes!"
Instantly, divine sounds filled the air, like the roars of gods. In the Samsara Xuanhuang Tower, a figure holding a spear gradually appeared, emitting golden light.
Swish!
Po!
A five-colored river of stars flashed, stars shifting and twinkling brilliantly! In the eighth layer of the Samsara Xuanhuang Tower, a carved figure flashed and rushed into the fourth layer of the Samsara Xuanhuang Tower.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the peerless fierce general of the era from the river of history—the Great General of a Hundred Kills—Yang Zaixing!!"
Looking at Yang Zaixing's figure, Yang Hao thought that in the historical novel, Yang Zaixing would not appear at this level, as Lü Bu and Jia Fu had already appeared. Yang Zaixing appearing now could only be the Yang Zaixing from official history, the fierce general recorded in historical texts who single-handedly charged into the Jurchen army, killed hundreds of Jurchen soldiers, and then returned!
Emperor Gaozong of Song once said that Yang Zaixing entered the enemy formation alone, nearly killed Wuzhu, and was wounded dozens of times, yet still killed dozens of people before returning.
Especially the battle of Xiaoshangqiao was Yang Zaixing's deification battle, and also the battle of the fall of a generation of war gods!
"View the detailed information of the Great General of a Hundred Kills—Yang Zaixing!"
"Name: Yang Zaixing"
"Dynasty: Southern Song Dynasty"
"Cultivation: Immortal Emperor (Controls thirty-four imperial fates)!"
"Cultivation Technique: Blood-Drenched Battle Demon Scripture!"
"Associated Troops: Elite Troops: One hundred thousand elite soldiers!"
Experience: Yang Zaixing first appeared in records in the first year of Shaoxing. At that time, Cao Cheng had a following of over 100,000, occupying Daozhou and Hezhou. Yang Zaixing was a subordinate of Cao Cheng.
In the second year of Shaoxing, Cao Cheng sent troops to guard Moye Pass. Yue Fei dispatched his subordinate Zhang Xian to attack it. After Moye Pass fell, Yue Fei's fifth general, Han Shunfu, saw that Cao Cheng's army had dispersed, so he dismounted, removed his armor, and began to drink. Unexpectedly, Yang Zaixing led his troops to ambush Han Shunfu's camp, cutting off one of Han Shunfu's arms. Han Shunfu died of serious injuries. After Yue Fei's army was defeated, the forward commander Zhang Xian went to attack Yang Zaixing. Yang Zaixing engaged in battle with Wang Jing and others, and also killed Yue Fei's brother, Yue Fan. However, in this battle, Yang Zaixing was greatly defeated and jumped into a deep ravine, where he was captured alive by Zhang Xian and defected to Yue Fei's army.
He then followed Yue Fei in various campaigns, contributing to the pacification of Ji and Qian. In the sixth year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei dispatched Yang Zaixing to Yeyang, Changshui County, Xijing. After Yang Zaixing and Zhang Xian consulted, they decided to adopt a feigned defeat tactic to lure the enemy, killing over five hundred enemy soldiers and capturing one hundred officers and soldiers, with the rest of the followers fleeing. The next day, Yang Zaixing fought again with the pseudo-Qi army at Sun Hongjian, defeating two thousand enemies and recapturing Changshui County, thus retaking all the strategic areas of Xijing.
In the tenth year of Shaoxing, Wanyan Zongbi tore up the peace treaty and concentrated his forces to attack the Song again. Yue Fei led his army in a great battle against the Jurchen army, defeating 200,000 Jurchen soldiers. Wanyan Zongbi fled. The Jurchen commander Wanyan Zongbi was furious. Soon after, he gathered the forces of twelve thousand troops, including the Dragon Tiger King, the Heaven-Covering King, and Han Chang, and advanced towards Yancheng, stationing them at Lingying. Yue Fei sent his son Yue Yun to resist the Jurchen army. After dozens of rounds of fierce fighting, the Jurchen army could not hold on. Yang Zaixing single-handedly charged into the Jurchen army, intending to capture Wanyan Zongbi alive but failed. He killed hundreds of Jurchen soldiers before returning.
Later, Yang Zaixing encountered the Jurchen army at Xiaoshangqiao. Yang Zaixing fought fiercely with the Jurchen army, killing more than two thousand Jurchen soldiers and Jurchen generals, including the Myriarch Wanhù Sabólìjīn and one hundred Chiliarchs. However, he was eventually outnumbered and died after being hit by countless arrows. Later, the Jurchen army obtained his body, and after burning it, they found as many as two liters of arrowheads.
