"System, deduct one hundred and fifty billion Kill Points and convert them into Reincarnation Power to summon ancient heroes!"
"Use Kill Points and Destiny Merit to send emerging soldiers into the barracks!"
After Guan Zhong and Jia Xu left, Yang Hao directly commanded the system, initiating the summoning of heroes. The Lei Dao Alliance had not yet convened, which indeed violated the previous plan to stabilize the northern region. However, it was not a major issue; unifying the north was a crucial step for the Great Han Heavenly Court at present!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully deducting 15 billion Kill Points and obtaining 1.5 billion Reincarnation Power!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully deducting 800,000 Destiny Merit and 25 billion Kill Points to send emerging soldiers into the barracks for cultivation!"
"Summon ancient heroes!" Yang Hao commanded.
"Ding! Successfully deducted 750 million Reincarnation Power, commencing the summoning of ancient heroes!"
"Weng~~"
As 750 million Reincarnation Power was deducted, deep within the soul sea, the mysterious Reincarnation Xuanhuang Pagoda lit up with infinite golden light on all seven levels. The eighth level also shimmered with several powerful golden rays. At this moment, a golden river of history flowed through the void deep within Yang Hao's soul sea. The river of history surged forward, heading towards the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Pagoda. As the river of history flowed forward, it arrived at the Warring States period. Above the river, vast armies appeared, especially the approximately one hundred thousand wolf cavalry in the center, magnificent and exuding a sky-piercing killing intent. In the void, various military formations condensed and enveloped the great army!
On the eighth level of the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Pagoda, a carved figure flashed and rushed into the fourth level of the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Pagoda.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the peerless general from the river of history—the God of Military Formations—Li Mu!!"
Li Mu!
The God of Military Formations!
One of the Four Great Generals of the Warring States period!
Defeated the Xiongnu, annihilated the Xianbei, crushed the Donghu, and repeatedly repelled the Qin army! He was known as the bane of Qin for repeatedly defeating their forces!
Throughout his life, he campaigned in all directions, protecting the royal power of the Zhao state!
The battle against the Xiongnu was a classic example in military history of an infantry army annihilating a cavalry army. The Battle of Fei was an example of a siege and annihilation. This battle was also the concluding battle for Zhao. Li Mu led his troops and annihilated 100,000 Qin soldiers in one battle, his fame shaking all directions!
His appearance was an unbreakable Great Wall for the Zhao state. Later, he was unjustly executed, accelerating the demise of Zhao!
"View the detailed information of the peerless general, the God of Military Formations—Li Mu!"
"Name: Li Mu"
"Dynasty: Late Warring States Period"
"Cultivation: Immortal Emperor (Controls sixty-one Emperor's Mandates)!"
"Cultivation Technique: Tai Xu Wan Jun Jue!"
"Accompanying Troop Type: Peerless Troop Type—One hundred thousand Wolf Cavalry!"
Experience: Li Mu was initially a skilled general on the northern border of Zhao, stationed for a long time in Dai and Yanmen Commandery, defending against the northern Xiongnu with a defensive strategy. For several years, the border remained unharmed. Later, King Zhao replaced him. For over a year, the Zhao army suffered repeated defeats against the Xiongnu, with heavy casualties. Consequently, Li Mu was reinstated, and the Xiongnu had no gains for several years. Later, when the Xiongnu again marched south, Li Mu laid numerous ambushes, flanking the enemy from both sides, and decisively defeated the Xiongnu, killing over 100,000 troops, annihilating the Xianbei, defeating the Donghu, and subjugating the Lin Hu. The Chanyu fled. After this battle, the Xiongnu dared not march south for more than a decade.
In 244 BCE, Lian Po defected to the Wei state, and prominent ministers in the court gradually passed away. Li Mu subsequently became a key minister. The following year, King Zhao sent Li Mu to attack the Yan state, capturing Wu Sui and Fang Cheng.
In 234 BCE, the great Qin general Huan Yi attacked Pingyang and Wucheng in Zhao, killing 100,000 Zhao soldiers. The next year, Huan Yi, seizing the advantage, advanced eastward from Shangdang, crossed the Taihang Mountains from the north into Zhao's rear, captured Chili and Yian, and marched directly towards Handan. King Zhao hastily recalled Li Mu from Yanmen Pass. Li Mu adopted a defensive stance for many days, refusing to engage. The Qin army, accustomed to this, became careless. Li Mu then seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Qin army's main camp, capturing all the remaining Qin troops and supplies. Li Mu predicted that Huan Yi would attempt a rescue and set up an ambush, decisively defeating the Qin army. Li Mu was consequently enfeoffed as Lord Wu'an for his achievements.
In 232 BCE, King Ying Zheng of Qin again sent the Qin army to invade. Li Mu adopted the strategy of defending in the south and attacking in the north, concentrating forces to defeat them individually. This battle repelled the Qin army and also kept them distant from Han and Wei.
Time moved to 229 BCE. King Ying Zheng of Qin sent the great general Wang Jian to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Handan, the capital of Zhao. Wang Jian knew that as long as Li Mu remained, the Qin army could not achieve a swift victory on the battlefield. Therefore, he employed a scheme of sowing discord. Upon hearing this, King Zhao became enraged and immediately had Li Mu executed. Just three months later, Handan was captured.
"A pity, such a brilliant strategist!" Looking at the summary, Yang Hao sighed. If Li Mu had not died, the Zhao state might still have had a chance to contend. It was a shame to destroy one's own Great Wall, accelerating its demise!
"Ding! Successfully deducted 750 million Reincarnation Power, commencing the summoning of ancient heroes!"
"Ding! Warning to the host, remaining Reincarnation Power is zero!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the emerging soldiers have completed their cultivation within the barracks, all having been upgraded to the peak realm of Lower Realm Chaos Dao Venerable!"
Dong!
At this moment, the Xuanhuang Pagoda, having absorbed immense amounts of Reincarnation Power, filled the air with the sound of the Great Dao, like divine roars. The river of history surged forth, a magnificent panorama unfolding from the Spring and Autumn period. Banners fluttered, armies appeared in the sky, and the river of history flowed from the Spring and Autumn period to the Sui-Tang era. With a dong, a figure on the eighth level of the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Pagoda, holding a phoenix-winged gilded halberd, gradually appeared, emitting golden light.
Above the river, figures flickered. A colorful star river streaked across the sky of the soul sea. The stars shifted, and on the eighth level of the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Pagoda, a carved figure flashed and rushed into the fourth level of the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Pagoda.
The figure that appeared in the river on the fourth level was ten feet tall, with a waist ten embraces wide, a golden face, long beard, and tiger-like eyes with thick brows. He wore a double phoenix golden helmet, a chainmail golden armor, and rode a swift yellow horse capable of traveling a thousand miles. He was magnificent, like the Heavenly Lord of Universal Salvation of the Upper Realm descended, carrying the Mandate of Heaven of three dynasties.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the peerless fierce general from the river of history—the Heavenly Treasure General—Yuwen Chengdu!!"
Yuwen Chengdu!
Seeing the appearance of that figure, Yang Hao rejoiced. Although there were many legends about this era, synthesizing various accounts, Yuwen Chengdu's strength appearing at this stage was beyond doubt!
Li Yuanba!
Luo Shixin!
Looking at Yuwen Chengdu's figure, Yang Hao murmured softly. With the emergence of the Heavenly Treasure General Yuwen Chengdu, those two were not far behind!
Yuwen Chengdu!
Possessed the golden plaque of the most courageous and invincible in the world!
