Chapter 585 Top Attribute Summoning Card (Too much to introduce, you can skip)
The only one left was Bayan, the famous general and prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty.
He participated in the Battle of Xiangfan, and later led his troops south to attack the Song Dynasty, capturing Emperor Gong of Song and Emperor Duanzong of Song.
After Wen Tianxiang was captured, he tried many times to persuade Wen Tianxiang to surrender, but failed.
There is also Li Heng, a famous general of the Yuan Dynasty. In the war against the Southern Song Dynasty, he fought with Wen Tianxiang many times, and finally launched a counterattack in Xingguo County and defeated Wen Tianxiang.
And Zhang Hongfan, an important general in the early Yuan Dynasty and the ninth son of the famous general Zhang Rou.
In the Battle of Yashan, he captured the last emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Bing, and forced Lu Xiufu to carry the emperor on his back and jump into the sea.
They are a group of people with quite strong abilities.
It’s a pity that they are too scattered, and it is obviously impossible for this group of people to be integrated into the same force.
"Call the system, use that top-level attribute summoning card."
Su Ye looked at the group of people Wen Tianxiang brought with him and didn't care too much.
They are just a group of people with god-level attributes at best. Even if they are all divided up, it won’t affect the overall situation.
In the next period of time, the most important thing for me is farming.
No matter how chaotic it is outside, it has nothing to do with me for the time being.
"Ding! The top attribute summoning card (commander, intelligence, politics, charm 103 or above) is being used. The system will give a list of five characters. Please remove two and randomly summon one of the remaining three."
"Summoning, host, please wait a moment"
"Ding! The top attribute summons the first person, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period - God of Killing Bai Qi, command 104, force 95, politics 80, intelligence 91."
Undefeated throughout his life, the God of Killing Bai Qi!
Bai Qi was a military genius whose talent was impeccable.
He led many battles, especially the battles of Yique, Yanying, Huayang and Changping.
A careful examination of these four battles shows that Bai Qi's strategic vision and command art were truly superb and breathtaking.
Bai Qi's invincibility stems from four major factors: his extraordinary military talent, which made him the best of his contemporaries and difficult to rival, was the cornerstone of his invincibility.
When Bai Qi came to power, the Qin State had already become a powerful state with abundant resources, enough to support its conquests in all directions.
Such strength allowed Bai Qi to display his unique tactical wisdom and achieve many remarkable feats.
Third, if we count the generals of the same era who can compare with Bai Qi, there are only a few, and none of them have fought against him. This shows how powerful Bai Qi is.
The key point is that although Bai Qi had a brilliant military record, he may have suffered defeats in the early days, which is not recorded in history books.
As his conducting art reached perfection, he won battles one after another.
Take the Battle of Yique as an example, where the Qin State fought against Han and Wei.
Before the war, Qin was surrounded by the five countries of Qi, Han, Zhao, Wei and Song.
After the coalition forces retreated, Han and Wei took advantage of their geographical location to join forces and guard the area outside Hangu Pass to prevent Qin from advancing eastward.
Bai Qi was tasked with destroying the defense lines of Han and Wei, clearing the way for Qin's eastward expansion and reopening the gateway to the east.
After Bai Qi took over the army, he captured the new city of Han in the first battle, seizing the strategic initiative.
With the new city in hand, Qin successfully cut off Chu's way to aid Han and Wei, creating an opportunity for isolated fighting.
Bai Qi first took control of Xincheng and then declared war on Han and Wei.
He cleverly took advantage of the gap between the two countries, pretended to attack Han to lure Wei to watch, and then suddenly attacked the Wei army, causing chaos in its formation.
Using Wei's deserters to disturb Han's formation, Qin finally struck a thunderbolt and both countries were defeated. Bai Qi won by using his wisdom and taking advantage of the terrain, not only defeating the Han-Wei coalition forces, but also making the enemy troops scattered and unable to escape.
After the war, 240,000 elite troops of Han and Wei were almost destroyed and all lost at the hands of Bai Qi.
Bai Qi's military achievements demonstrate his extraordinary military strategy.
Later generations spread the rumor that he was only good at defeating the minority with the majority, but this battle fully demonstrated his ability to win even in adverse circumstances, and the rumor was self-defeating.
The battles of Yanying, Huayang and Changping all demonstrated Bai Qi's military talents.
A thorough analysis shows that his command was exemplary, with precise strikes on the enemy's weaknesses and full display of his own advantages, like a living textbook on the art of war.
Bai Qi was good at commanding an army of hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops, and his command ability was amazing.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of ancient military affairs knows that the difficulty of command increases dramatically as the number of troops doubles. Such talent is extremely rare.
Leading thousands of troops in a battle, such talent of commander is rare in all dynasties.
When it comes to the art of command, there are only a handful of people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Bai Qi.
It’s a pity that he is too extraordinary and his achievements surpass his master’s.
Among the six states in Shandong, Bai Qi alone defeated four states and almost destroyed the State of Zhao.
Even if Qin had won the Battle of Handan later, it might have proved that Bai Qi's achievements were only due to the strength of Qin, not his personal strength.
But the problem is that in the Battle of Handan, the Qin State was defeated and suffered heavy losses.
This means that after this battle, all Qin people will believe that the reason why Qin was invincible in the previous decades was not because they had a wise King Qin, but because Qin had a god of war like Bai Qi!
In this way, Bai Qi's reputation will suddenly increase. Coupled with his reputation in the army, Bai Qi will definitely be able to threaten the king of Qin.
Being more accomplished than his master was Bai Qi’s greatest sin.
Another thing is his "feat" of killing 400,000 surrendered soldiers in the Battle of Changping.
Although Bai Qi killed these Zhao surrendered soldiers at that time to take the blame for King Zhaoxiang of Qin, he was also making a contribution to the Qin State.
But judging from the situation at the time, Qin had already fallen into a quagmire in Zhao.
If Bai Qi was killed, perhaps the blame could be completely put on Bai Qi, weakening the resistance of the Zhao people, and perhaps the Qin army in front could win.
Killing Bai Qi and calming the public opinion and anger on the Zhao side seemed to be a very cost-effective deal.
Therefore, Bai Qi was glamorously abandoned by King Zhaoxiang of Qin.
"Ding! Top attributes summon the second person, China's first prime minister - Guan Zhong, command 88, force 82, politics 105, intelligence 101."
Damn, king bomb!
Did it explode like this right from the start?
As the first prime minister of China, Guan Zhong was not only a famous thinker in the pre-Qin period, but also a politician.
Guan Zhong achieved the goal of "uniting the nine states and bringing peace to the world" and assisted Duke Huan of Qi in becoming the leader of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. He is the founder of China's political and economic system.
Guan Zhong himself was also praised by later generations as "the first prime minister of China" for his extraordinary talent in governing the country.
He led the first economic reform in my country's history, and many economic systems are still in use today. For example, our current state-owned enterprise and central enterprise system were invented by Guan Zhong.
At that time, in order to increase the country's economic income, Guan Zhong proposed the famous "Salt and Iron Monopoly", which means that the state monopolized the operation of salt and iron, which were the country's pillar industries at that time.
Of course, Guan Zhong was also a pioneer of Legalist thought, and even our Confucian and Taoist thoughts were mentioned in the book "Guanzi".
Although Guan Zhong lived in the Spring and Autumn Period, the book "Guan Zi" was not written by Guan Zhong himself, but was compiled and edited by later generations. It was probably completed in the Warring States Period. The book "Guan Zi" originally had 86 chapters, but now only 76 chapters remain, and the remaining 10 chapters are only catalogues.
