"System, check how much Slaughter Value I have under my command?"
The decision to attack the Hengtian Immortal Dynasty with full force was made by Yang Hao in consultation with the ministers of the Military Affairs Department, divided into five steps. The first step was to unite Zhulu and Qingxuan to provoke a war in the Western Regions. The second step was to weaken the strength and exhaust the foundations of the three factions through Qingxuan and Zhulu. The third step was to send out the army in full force, strike directly at the heart of the enemy, and annihilate Hengtian. The fourth step was for Lan Yu and Kuai Tong to fully control the power of Qingxuan and annex it to the Great Han Divine Dynasty.
As for the final step, it was to leverage the momentum of destroying the Hengtian Immortal Dynasty and annexing the Qingxuan Immortal Dynasty, to pressure the borders of the Zhulu Immortal Dynasty and force its submission to the Great Han.
With these five steps implemented gradually, regardless of whether the Undead City ended sooner or later, the Western Regions would all fall into Yang Hao's hands.
With the annihilation of the Hengtian Immortal Dynasty, the Hong family would likely be too preoccupied to manage anything. The primordial spirit of Zhulong was crucial to their scheme, and even if it were rescued, it would still take a considerable amount of time for Zhulong to recover its peak strength.
This period would be Yang Hao's opportunity to develop and grow stronger. As soon as the myriad planes of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces descended into chaos and the eight great families of the Central Province began their bloody conflict, he could dispatch the Ten Great Legions to march out of the country, sweeping north across the Northern Sea and south to pacify the Southern Marshes. By then, the strength of the Great Han Divine Dynasty would likely not be inferior to that of the eight great families of the Central Province.
As for the Eastern Remote Region, it would depend on the specific situation at the time for further analysis. These five steps were merely a five-step strategy planned within the context of the current Western Regions' situation.
Currently, the first and second steps had been achieved. Qingxuan, Zhulu, and Hengtian had sufficiently suppressed each other, and it was time for the army to march out in full force and strike directly at the enemy's heart.
After Hengtian was annihilated and Qingxuan submitted, Zhulu alone would likely be unable to achieve anything significant. Yang Hao merely needed to exert constant pressure with his victorious army, forcing Zhulu to either fight to the death or surrender its cities.
"Ding! Reminder to the host, the host currently has a total of five hundred million Slaughter Values under command!"
"Exchange two hundred million points of Reincarnation Power!"
"Ding! Reminder to the host, two hundred million Slaughter Values have been deducted!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the host has twenty million Reincarnation Power remaining!"
"System, use Reincarnation Power to summon heroes!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, four million seven hundred thousand Reincarnation Power successfully deducted, the system is now summoning!"
The moment the Reincarnation Power was deducted, a golden light descended directly onto the fifth level of the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Tower. The last grey carved figure on the fifth level was now completely illuminated, and the sound of the Great Dao reverberated, a galaxy unfurled, and brilliant divine radiance emanated!
The Reincarnation Xuanhuang Tower, having absorbed four million three hundred thousand Reincarnation Power, was suffused with golden light and the resonance of the Great Dao!
The historical scrolls turned layer by layer, the sea of stars receded like sand, and majestic banners fluttered fiercely!
Hum hum!
It stopped directly at the period when the Mongol Empire, Jin Dynasty, Liao Dynasty, and Southern Song Dynasty coexisted!
Above the galaxy, a golden figure, mounted on a warhorse and holding a war bow, with two giant divine eagles circling behind him!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the peerless general from the river of history – the Arrow of Mongolia – Jebe!"
Jebe!
The Arrow of Mongolia, Genghis Khan's most trusted general, ranked first among the Four Eagles!
Yang Hao looked at the figure, who led the Mongol cavalry to sweep across the land with invincibility. Because of his bravery and skill in battle, Genghis Khan bestowed upon him the name Jebe.
His achievements were numerous. He led the Mongol iron cavalry to heavily defeat the allied forces of Rus' at the Kalka River and then advanced westward, reaching the northern shore of the Caspian Sea!
Jebe's life was marked by the southern conquest of the Jin Dynasty, the pacification of the Western Liao, leading armies on western expeditions, sweeping through various nations, and crushing allied armies, his fame terrifying Eurasia!
"View detailed information on the Arrow of Mongolia – Jebe!"
"Name: Jebe"
"Original Name: Zhirhuo'atadai"
"Dynasty: Mongol Empire"
"Cultivation: Minor Heavenly Venerate, second layer!"
"Cultivation Technique: Divine Arrow Immortal Canon!"
"Accompanying Troops: Peerless Troops – one hundred thousand elite Mongol cavalry!"
Experience: In 1201, Temujin led an allied force of eleven tribes to battle at Kuoyitian. At that time, Jebe shot and wounded Temujin's white-mouthed yellow horse with an arrow. It was in this battle that Jebe defected to Temujin.
From 1211 onwards, Jebe repeatedly achieved great military successes. That winter, he employed a feigned defeat and counterattack tactic to break into Juyong Pass, with his scouts advancing to the outskirts of the Jin capital. In 1213, he captured Juyong Pass and led twenty thousand men to destroy the Western Liao, executing Kutlug.
In 1219, Genghis Khan launched a western expedition and appointed Jebe as the vanguard of the great army. In the Battle of the Kalka River, he defeated the allied forces of Rus' and Kipchaks. He died of illness on his way back to camp.
"Ding! Reminder to the host, all heroes sealed on the fifth level of the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Tower have been summoned!"
Yang Hao looked up at the fifth level, now entirely illuminated by golden light. To this day, all the sealed heroes on the fifth level had been released.
"System, use Reincarnation Power to summon!"
Glancing over, Yang Hao shifted his gaze to the sixth level. After a long gaze, Yang Hao said in a deep voice.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, four million seven hundred thousand Reincarnation Power successfully deducted, the system is now summoning!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the peerless fierce general from the river of history – the Man-Eater – Zhang Hao!"
Zhang Hao?
Yang Hao looked at the figure. Zhang Hao, a fierce general of the Former Qin Dynasty, was recorded as being able to pull oxen backward while walking and could scale any city wall, regardless of its height.
During the over one hundred years of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were countless warlords and fierce generals. If one were to ask who was the fiercest, the Former Qin general Zhang Hao would surely be on the list. He not only fought fiercely and was superior to his peers in battle, but he was also unsparing with himself.
He was considered a Man-Eater, alongside Deng Qiang of the same period!
Legend has it that this man once castrated himself, after which his strength greatly increased. Some also say he was the prototype for Dongfang Bubai...
"View detailed information on the Man-Eater – Zhang Hao!"
"Name: Zhang Hao"
"Dynasty: Sixteen Kingdoms"
"Cultivation: Minor Heavenly Venerate, second layer!"
"Cultivation Technique: Demon Bathing Spear Art!"
"Accompanying Troops: Top-tier Troops – one hundred thousand elite soldiers!"
Experience: During the Later Zhao period, Zhang Hao became the adopted son of Zhang Ping, the provincial governor of Bingzhou at the time, and thus changed his name to Zhang Hao.
Later, after a defeat, Zhang Hao surrendered to the Former Qin and became a general of the Former Qin. Zhang Hao participated in the suppression of the rebellion of the Five Dukes and in wars to destroy the Former Yan and Dai states, achieving considerable merit.
It was not until the nineteenth year of Jian Yuan that Zhang Hao participated in the historically famous Battle of Fei River. In this battle, he defeated the famous Eastern Jin general Xie Shi. However, unfortunately, the final outcome of this battle was that the Eastern Jin, with only eighty thousand troops, decisively defeated the Former Qin army of over eight hundred thousand (actually only over two hundred thousand).
Two years later, Zhang Hao supported the Duke of Changle, Fu Pi, to ascend the throne. He also took the opportunity to quell the rebellion of Xi Fo, the leader of the Bai tribe.
A year later, he was promoted to Grand Commandant for his merits. After this, historical records cease to mention him, and his whereabouts are unknown.
"Continue!"
Yang Hao casually closed Zhang Hao's data.
