Experience: A general from the late Western Han and early Eastern Han dynasties of China, an founding hero of the Eastern Han, and the father of Empress Mingde of Emperor Ming of Han.
In the late Xin Dynasty, Ma Yuan defected to the Longyou warlord Wei Xiao and was highly valued. Later, he submitted to Emperor Guangwu, Liu Xiu, and made outstanding contributions to the unification of the Eastern Han.
After the establishment of the Eastern Han, Ma Yuan continued to lead troops in campaigns, defeating the Qiang in the west, conquering Jiaozhi in the south, and attacking the Wuhuan in the north. He successively held the title of General Fubo, was enfeoffed as Marquis of Xinxi, and was known as "Ma Fubo." His spirit of being old and vigorous, and his "horsehide wrapped corpse" met with later generations' reverence.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jianwu, Ma Yuan died of illness while suppressing the Wuxi barbarians, at the age of sixty-four. After his death, he was framed, and his Marquis of Xinxi seal was revoked by Liu Xiu. He was exonerated during the reign of Emperor Zhang of Han and posthumously awarded the title "Zhongcheng." During the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang, he became one of the "Sixty-Four Generals of the Martial Temple."
During the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song, he was further honored as "King Zhongxian You Shun," ranking among the "Seventy-Two Generals of the Martial Temple." He was also worshipped in the Temple of Past Emperors during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.
"Continue summoning!"
Yang Hao, while looking at Ma Yuan's detailed information, walked towards the Xuanzheng Hall accompanied by Wei Zhongxian, with civil and military officials respectfully following behind.
"Ding! Successful one ancient hero summoning opportunity!"
"Ding! Reminder to the host, three ancient hero summoning opportunities have now been used up!"
"Ding! System is initiating summoning!"
The second layer of the Samsara Xuanhuang Pagoda was filled with golden light, the sounds of the Great Dao reverberated in all directions, a galaxy spread out, and starlight flowed!
At this moment, the river of history had not yet flowed open, but was gushing out wisps of golden light like a spring!
Yang Hao looked at the river of history, which was like a spring, and knew that it was likely that ancient heroes from before the Qin Dynasty were about to emerge.
As he pondered, the sounds of the Dao permeated his mind, celestial sounds mystical, ancient and profound, the entire pagoda was filled with golden light, and waves of the Great Dao sounds surrounded the pagoda. When the golden light dissipated, densely carved human figures on the second layer of the Samsara Xuanhuang Pagoda appeared, with one of them emitting wisps of golden light.
*Fzzt!*
*Splash!*
A five-colored galaxy flashed, stars shifted and revolved, shining brilliantly!
A human figure, without any weapon in hand, clad in golden light, dressed like a scholar, stepped out of the river of history!
The moment the figure stepped out, the illuminated carved figures on the second layer of the tower instantly turned into specks of starlight and merged into the fourth layer of the tower.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the top-tier strategist, Xun An, from the river of history!"
Xun An?
Yang Hao nodded. Xun An, a minister of the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn period, was loyal and resourceful. His brilliant strategy of "borrowing a path to attack Guo" made him famous and revered throughout the land!
"Check detailed information for Xun An!"

"Attached troop type: None!"
Experience: After the death of Duke Wu of Jin, his son Gui Zhu succeeded him, also known as Duke Xian. Xun Xi was loyal and resourceful, and as a former official of Duke Wu, he was naturally valued by Duke Xian. He faithfully served Duke Xian for nearly 30 years and was a pillar of the State of Jin at that time.
Duke Xian of Jin was ambitious and vigorous in his early years, striving to expand his territory and determined to destroy Guo. However, to destroy Guo, it was necessary to pass through Yu, a small country on the southern border. Yu and Guo were interdependent and had a very close relationship, which troubled Duke Xian.
Xun Xi immediately offered a plan, asking Duke Xian to offer fine horses from Beiqu and jade discs from Chuiji to the ruler of Yu, and then borrow a path through Yu to attack Guo. Duke Xian was reluctant to part with the precious horses and jade. Xun Xi persuaded him, saying, "If we gain favor with Yu, it is like an external treasury." Duke Xian worried that Yu had a wise minister, Gong Ziqi, and feared that the ruler of Yu would not be fooled. Xun Xi argued that "Gong Ziqi, when he enters, is weak and unable to give strong advice. Moreover, he grew up with the lord, and the lord favors him, so even if he advises, he will not be listened to."
Under Xun Xi's planning, the Jin army, while returning to Jin, suddenly launched an attack on the unprepared State of Yu, easily destroying Yu and capturing its ruler. Xun Xi was even more heavily relied upon by Duke Xian for his merits in destroying Guo and attacking Yu.
However, he was blindly loyal to the former lord and failed the hopes of the entire country's soldiers and civilians to quell internal strife and stabilize the country. In the end, he caused the country to suffer losses and himself met a tragic end of death.
"Ding! Reminder to the host, three ancient hero summoning opportunities have been consumed. Does the host wish to use Samsara power to summon!"
"Purchase blind boxes with Faith Points!"
Fu Hao, Hua Mulan, Gao Changong, and Ma Yuan, each with a hundred thousand troops under their command, had not yet emerged. It would be a waste to summon soldiers with kill points. After much deliberation, Yang Hao decided to pause the summoning of heroes and use Faith Points to purchase blind boxes!
"Ding! Successfully deducted ten million Faith Points!"
"Ding! Obtained twenty Platinum Blind Boxes!"
"Ding! Reminder to the host, Faith Points remaining: Zero!"
"Weng~~"
A dense array of glittering, noble platinum blind boxes instantly appeared in Yang Hao's mind!
"Ding! Prompting the host, do you wish to open!"
"Open!"
"Bang!"
The twenty platinum blind boxes simultaneously burst into silver light and disappeared from Yang Hao's mind. Immediately, a deluge of information rushed into Yang Hao's ears.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Jianmen Pass (one of the Ten Famous Passes!), Empty, Barracks Speed-up Card (Beginner), Forty Thousand Sets of Qiongqi Legion Armor, Forty Thousand Sets of Kui Niu Legion Armor, Empty, Hundred Thousand Great Shang Elite Soldiers, Barracks Speed-up Card (Beginner), Forty Thousand Sets of Qiongqi Legion Armor, Barracks Speed-up Card (Beginner)!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Barracks Speed-up Card (Beginner), Ten Thousand Venerable Pills, Hundred Thousand Great Qi Elite Soldiers, Barracks Speed-up Card (Beginner), Kui Ling True Essence Pill Recipe, Forty Thousand Sets of Qiongqi Legion Armor, Hundred Thousand Great Han Elite Soldiers, Forty Thousand Sets of Azure Dragon Legion Armor, Hundred Thousand Elite Soldiers, Forty Thousand Sets of Qiongqi Legion Armor!"
Jianmen Pass?
The Ten Famous Passes – Jianmen Pass, Yang Hao knew it well. It is located in the middle of Mount Dajian, with steep cliffs on both sides that reach into the clouds. The peaks are like swords reaching the sky; the cliffs are sheer and separate, the two walls facing each other, resembling a gate, hence the name "Jianmen," and it enjoys the reputation of "Jianmen's unparalleled perilousness."
However, it was now obtained from a blind box...
"System, check Jianmen Pass!"
"Ding! Jianmen Pass: The host can use one million kill points to freely designate any territory of the Great Han, and Jianmen Pass will alter the local terrain and vein, forming the unique perilous characteristic of Jianmen Pass!"
"Ding! Reminder to the host, once Jianmen Pass is established, it will prohibit flight and ground access for warriors!"
No flight, no ground access!
Yang Hao looked at the information and couldn't help but rejoice. Once Jianmen Pass was established, even if a strong individual crossed the Great Han, with this pass, they would be forced to enter the territory of the Great Han on foot!
This is extraordinary!
