Chapter 436 Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu

Indeed!

Yang Hao gave a wry smile. This Jianmenguan was a trap, not a permanent solution. However, as long as it could effectively deter martial artists below the top Creation realm, it wasn't entirely useless. It could intercept ninety-nine percent of the demonic beasts from the Nine Nether Wilderness at the nation's gates, ensuring the safety of the vast border stretching for hundreds of millions of miles!

The seven great legions were suppressing the border, unable to be easily redeployed. Fu Hao, Hua Mulan, Gao Changgong, and Ma Yuan also had to lead troops, assigned to the various legions. For a time, the available heroic figures under his command were somewhat insufficient.

The Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body in the far north attracted many powerful figures from top factions. Heroic figures of the Creation realm were destined to be endless. The three Desolate Lords were all at the seventh revolution of the Nirvana realm. The far north was a place of extreme danger.

"System, settle the kill points and the power of reincarnation!"

Xu Chu found himself in the far north of the Great Desolate Wilderness, a place of extreme peril. The three Desolate Lords at the seventh revolution of Nirvana could not be taken lightly.

"Ding! Host has accumulated twenty-one million kill points and two point five million strands of reincarnation power!"

"First, convert all kill points into reincarnation power!"

"Ding! Successfully deducted twenty-one million kill points, yielding two point one million strands of reincarnation power."

"Ding! Host now possesses a total of four point six million strands of reincarnation power!"

"System, how many strands of reincarnation power are needed to summon a thousand-year-old heroic figure of the Nirvana realm?"

Currently, although the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body had appeared in the far north of the Heavenly Desolate Wilderness, and the four great desolate realms had lost all interest in the human race's territory, Xu Chu, residing in the Imperial Palace, was bound to clash with the top powers of the three desolate realms. Ordinary Creation realm beings were no longer effective, let alone the three Desolate Lords, who were at the seventh revolution of Nirvana.

"Ding! Summoning a thousand-year-old heroic figure of the Nirvana realm requires nine hundred and fifty thousand strands of reincarnation power!"

"Ding! Warning to host: Consuming nine hundred thousand strands of reincarnation power does not guarantee a hundred percent chance of summoning a heroic figure of the Nirvana realm. Please proceed with caution!"

Nine hundred and fifty thousand strands of reincarnation power?

Yang Hao raised an eyebrow. At this rate, even summoning the highest-tier heroic figures of the Nirvana realm, four million strands would not be enough.

However, no matter what, the emergence of each thousand-year-old heroic figure strengthened the foundation of the Great Han Dynasty!

"Use reincarnation power to summon!"

He looked at the system's description and calmed himself. There were gains and losses. Summoning was not a targeted process; fortune and misfortune were intertwined!

"Ding! Successfully deducted one point two million strands of reincarnation power!"

What?

One point two million strands of reincarnation power!

Yang Hao looked at the Xuanhuang Pagoda of Reincarnation with excitement. Didn't summoning a thousand-year-old heroic figure of the Nirvana realm only cost nine hundred and fifty thousand strands of reincarnation power? Could it be that a top-tier heroic figure of the Nirvana realm had descended!

Incredible!

Yang Hao's eyes widened with excitement as he gazed intently at the second level of the Xuanhuang Pagoda of Reincarnation!

One million strands of reincarnation power!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the top-tier legendary generals from the river of history – Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu!"

A couple!

Yang Hao looked at the Xuanhuang Pagoda of Reincarnation, at the shining figures. This was the first time he had summoned a heroic couple. However, Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu were not bad. Although not as renowned as Yue Fei of the same era, they were nonetheless rare and exceptional generals of the Song Dynasty!

Especially their fierce resistance against Jin Wuzhu in the Battle of Huangtiandang, which made them famous throughout the land and instilled fear in the enemy!

"View detailed information of Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu!"

"Name: Han Shizhong"

"Courtesy Name: Liangchen"

"Alias: Qingliang Jushi"

"Dynasty: Song Dynasty"

"Cultivation: Creation Seventh Layer!"

"Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Engraver Divine Canon!"

"Accompanying Troop Type: Top-tier Troop Type – One hundred thousand Great Song Elite Soldiers!"

Experience: A famous general and ci poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, a national hero, known alongside Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, and Liu Guangshi as the "Four Generals of Zhongxing."

Han Shizhong was a man of imposing stature and extraordinary courage. Born into poverty, he joined the army as a volunteer at eighteen. He fought bravely and possessed strategic depth, making significant contributions to the Song Dynasty in the wars against the Western Xia and the Jin dynasty. He also played a crucial role in quelling various rebellions.

Han Shizhong was forthright and refused to ally with the powerful minister Qin Hui. He spoke out against the injustice suffered by Yue Fei, and history records him as "a loyal minister of the state among generals."

He was successively promoted to military governor of Zhennan, Wu'an, and Ningguo, and was enfeoffed as the Prince of Xian'an. In his later years, he withdrew from public life, no longer discussing military affairs, and amused himself by wandering by the West Lake.

In the twenty-first year of Shaoxing, Han Shizhong passed away at the age of sixty-three. He was posthumously granted the title of Grand Preceptor and Prince of Tongyi. During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of Song, he was posthumously enfeoffed as the Prince of Qi, ranking among the seven princes.

In the third year of Chunxi, he was awarded the posthumous title "Zhongwu." Later, he was enshrined in the imperial temple of Emperor Gaozong of Song. During the reign of Emperor Lizong of Song, he was one of the twenty-four meritorious officials honored in the Zhaoxun Pavilion. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, he was further enshrined in the Imperial Temple of Various Dynasties. His ci poems, such as "Linjiang Xian" and "Nanxiang Zi," are still transmitted today.

"Name: Liang Hongyu"

"Dynasty: Song Dynasty"

"Cultivation: Creation First Layer!"

"Cultivation Technique: Drum Roaring Moon Canon!"

"Accompanying Troop Type: Top-tier Troop Type – One hundred thousand Great Song Elite Soldiers!"

Experience: A famous female anti-Jin heroine of the Song Dynasty. Her grandfather and father were both military officers. Liang Hongyu, from a young age, learned martial arts from her father and elder brother. Historical records do not mention her name, referring to her only as Lady Liang.

She later met Han Shizhong. Their first meeting was at a victory banquet after the suppression of the Fang La uprising. Liang Hongyu, grateful for his kindness, offered herself to him. Han Shizhong redeemed her as his concubine. After the death of his original wife, Bai, she became Han Shizhong's legal wife.

In the third year of Jianyan, she made significant contributions in suppressing the rebellion of Miao Fu. She galloped hundreds of miles overnight to summon Han Shizhong to defend and quell the rebellion, for which she was bestowed the titles of Lady of Anguo and Lady of Huguo.

Later, she accompanied her husband on several campaigns. In the fourth year of Jianyan, during the Battle of Huangtiandang, she personally beat the drum and commanded the battle alongside Han Shizhong, repelling the invading Jin army on the southern bank of the Yangtze River for forty-eight days, thus becoming famous throughout the land.

She later led her own army and fought in various regions with her husband, repeatedly defeating the Jin army. In the fifth year of Shaoxing, she accompanied her husband to guard Chuzhou. On August 26th of that year, she died on the front lines of resisting the Jin in Chuzhou. In the twenty-first year of Shaoxing, Han Shizhong passed away. They were buried together at the foot of Lingyan Mountain in Suzhou.

Yang Hao looked at the information on Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu. Although a million strands of reincarnation power did not summon a thousand-year-old heroic figure of the Nirvana realm, summoning the couple Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu was by no means a loss!

After all, summoning a thousand-year-old heroic figure of the Creation realm consumed a very large amount of reincarnation power!

Currently, the Heaven-Splitting Rhinoceros Legion had a shortage of main generals. The commander of the Heaven-Splitting Rhinoceros Legion, Gao Changgong, only had Ying Bu under his command, which was quite meager compared to the other six legions!

The emergence of Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu would allow for the establishment of another army within the Heaven-Splitting Rhinoceros Legion. The number of main generals and troops in the Heaven-Splitting Rhinoceros Legion would significantly increase, making it comparable to the Qilin Legion.

Looking at Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu, summoned with a million strands of reincarnation power, Yang Hao slightly calmed his emotions. He then looked at the remaining three point six million strands of reincarnation power under his command and immediately issued the command to summon!
