Chapter 117 The Foremost Warrior of China - Meng Tian

"Check the information of Fang Xuanling."

Yang Hao tapped his lips lightly and said slowly.

"Name: Fang Qiao"

"Courtesy name: Xuanling"

"Dynasty: Tang Dynasty"

"Cultivation: Guiyuan Fifth Layer"

"Cultivation Technique: Dian Yu Sha Hai Bao Dian"

Experience: When Fang Xuanling was 18 years old, he passed the imperial examination in his prefecture and was appointed as the Feathered Cavalry Commandant. After Fang Xuanling joined Prince Qin Li Shimin in Wei Bei, he offered strategies and managed documents for Li Shimin, becoming one of Li Shimin's capable advisors.

In the ninth year of Wude, he participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident and was ranked first in merit along with Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, and Hou Junji.

After Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, ascended the throne, Fang Xuanling became Minister of the Central Secretariat. In the second month of the third year of Zhenguan, he became the Left Chancellor of the Six Ministries. In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, he was enfeoffed as the Duke of Liang. In the seventh month of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, he was promoted to Grand Minister of Works, and continued to manage state affairs. On the 24th day of the seventh month of the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, Fang Xuanling passed away and was posthumously honored as Wenzhao.

Because Fang Xuanling was good at planning and Du Ruhui was decisive in handling affairs, they were known as "Fang Mouxing Du Duanduan" (Fang plans, Du decides).

Why are all these characters from the Tang Dynasty? System, did Tang Dynasty give you money to be so biased? Speak up, tell me honestly.

However, the figures summoned this time are indeed quite impressive. The emergence of these three great civil officials and strategists has instantly elevated the quality of Yang Hao's civil officials by a significant level.

Hurry up, there's still one more summon. Yang Hao is now extremely eager for the next ancient hero to appear!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the fierce general of the Great Qin - Meng Tian!"

Meng Tian!!

"Check Meng Tian's information!"

"Name: Meng Tian"

"Dynasty: Qin Dynasty"

"Cultivation: Guiyuan Fifth Layer"

"Cultivation Technique: Feng Mo Dian Yu Zhen Jing"

"Troops: First-class troops - 100,000 elite Qin soldiers"

Experience: Meng Tian grew up in a family of military officials and was deeply influenced by his family environment. From a young age, he harbored great ambitions and was determined to charge into battle and serve the country.

He was intelligent and well-versed in military books, gradually developing a high level of military competence. In 221 BC, due to his family background, Meng Tian was appointed as a general of the State of Qin. He followed the great general Wang Ben to attack the State of Qi from the south, advancing all the way and capturing the Qi capital Linzi.

Due to Meng Tian's outstanding performance and remarkable achievements in battle, he stood out among many generals and was appointed as the Internal Secretary by the First Emperor of Qin, becoming one of the First Emperor's trusted generals.

In the second year of King Zhuangxiang, he attacked Han, Zhao, and captured cities in Wei, making contributions to Qin! His father, Meng Wu, had served as a subordinate general of Qin and, together with Wang Jian, had destroyed Chu, also achieving repeated military successes. Meng Tian studied criminal law and served as a clerk in charge of judicial proceedings.

After Qin unified the six states, he led 300,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north, recapturing the Hetao region and striking fear into the Xiongnu. He was renowned as the "Number One Warrior of China."

He was the earliest developer of Northwest China, the first person to develop Ningxia in ancient times, and supervised the construction of the Great Wall and the Jiuzhou Direct Road. He overcame the difficulty of poor transportation within the country, greatly promoting economic and cultural exchange and integration among the northern ethnic groups. He is also credited with improving the writing brush and is revered as the "Ancestor of the Brush."

Later, after the death of the First Emperor of Qin, the Central Chariot Officer Zhao Gao, Prime Minister Li Si, and Prince Huhai secretly plotted a coup, which led to Meng Tian committing suicide by poison.

Yang Hao opened his eyes and said to Wei Zhongxian, who was bowing respectfully at his side, "Issue the imperial decree!"

Wei Zhongxian quickly sat down at the desk and took up his brush.

"Confer Zhang Jiao the title of Grand Han Attendant, enfeoffed as a second-class marquis, and he is to proceed to the former territory of Langya Kingdom."

"Confer Du Ruhui the title of Minister of War, enfeoffed as a second-class marquis."

"Confer Changsun Wuji the title of Minister of Personnel, enfeoffed as a second-class marquis."

"Confer Fang Xuanling the title of Advisor to the Grand Council, enfeoffed as a second-class marquis."

"Confer Meng Tian the title of Valiant General, enfeoffed as a second-class marquis."

Hearing the imperial decree, Wei Zhongxian was shocked. Another sage had emerged! Each of these four was a pillar of the state, a talent capable of assisting a ruler!

...

...

Just as the fame of the Great Han spread in all directions, in Qingzhou of the Great Han, a uniquely shaped and luxuriously decorated ship slowly approached a dock on the coast of Qingzhou.

Nine young figures disembarked from the ship, all wearing identical white robes and a bright red feather inserted in their hair.

These nine individuals were all in their twenties or thirties, yet their cultivation was terrifying. Their feet were all suspended in the air, about a foot off the ground.

"Look quickly, aren't those people from the Immortal Feather Sect!"

"Why are they here?"

"I don't know, I guess the three islands overseas have always looked down on our Wuguo!"

"Pah! What Wuguo? Be careful, the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard will arrest you. Wuguo is a thing of the past. It's the Great Han now!"

"Right, right!"

The person who had spoken earlier was so frightened that they quickly knelt down and bowed deeply towards Chang'an.

...

"Huh!"

The leader of the Immortal Feather Sect, upon setting foot on the land of the Great Han, let out a voice of doubt.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother? Is something amiss?"

A person beside him asked softly.

"Why has the vital energy of Wuguo suddenly become so dense? A few years ago, when our master and I came here, the spiritual energy was extremely thin. How has it doubled in just a few years?"

The man's forehead was adorned with a crane symbol, looking very imposing.

"Sigh! Senior Brother, you call this dense vital energy? It's far inferior to our sect. Why bother whether it's dense or not? The martial cultivators in this region can consider themselves lucky if they can break through to the Innate realm."

"Tian Nan, when will you ever change your careless temper?"

The leader frowned and lightly chided the man who had just spoken, Tian Nan.

"Senior Brother Wei Yu!"

Tian Nan scratched his head.

Wei Yu, with the crane symbol on his forehead, extended his palm and carefully sensed the vital energy. With one step, he instantly appeared beside a young local martial artist practicing his skills.

"Young man, has something happened in Wuguo? Why has the vital energy suddenly become so dense?"

The young martial artist said in a low voice, "Brother, you may not know, but Wuguo has been destroyed. We are now called the Great Han, and our Han King is truly extraordinary. Not long ago, he defeated the Jin and Liao states in the north, and we even destroyed Langya!"

The young martial artist became more excited as he spoke, his face beaming with a radiant smile.

"Great Han?"

Wei Yu's eyes narrowed. Interesting. In just a few short years, the world has changed so drastically. This Han kingdom, heh heh, is quite intriguing!

Wei Yu stepped forward and instantly returned to the Immortal Feather disciples: "Everyone, time is short, we will part ways here. We will rendezvous at this same location in a week. This time, deliver the invitations to each kingdom as quickly as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people walked away: "Tian Nan, you come with me to see this Great Han!"

Wei Yu suddenly called out, stopping Tian Nan, who was heading in the direction of Langya Kingdom.

"What is it, First Senior Brother?"

"Langya Kingdom has been destroyed. You will accompany me to meet the Han King of the Great Han!"

"Okay!"

Tian Nan's expression was indifferent, as if the destruction of a kingdom was not something extraordinary to him, and it did not stir any ripple within him.
