After steadying his restless emotions, he still had one free summoning opportunity for an ancient historical figure!
He was eager to summon an ancient historical figure!
He came before the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Tower, which remained ancient and majestic, emitting a faint, ethereal melody of the Great Dao.
"System, use the ancient historical figure summoning opportunity, summon!"
*Hummm~~*
Banners fluttered, the starry river revolved, and figures of ancient historical figures flashed in the long river of history. A magnificent history slowly unfolded, and a ray of light arrived at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Yang Hao was looking forward to it. In this era of heroes emerging from the Three Kingdoms, which ancient historical figure would appear this time!
*Chi!*
A figure strode from the brilliant long river of history!
The Reincarnation Xuanhuang Tower suddenly glowed, and a carved figure appeared on its body, enveloped in golden light, radiating brilliance. The carved figure slowly materialized.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning Chen Gong from the late Eastern Han Dynasty!"
Chen Gong?
Lu Bu's strategist?
The upright, incorruptible strategist Chen Gong, who refused to surrender and chose death!
Yang Hao was stunned. He was just short of civil officials, and now he laughed heartily. Once Lu Kang became familiar with the administrative affairs of the three commanderies of Yizhou, he would also recall Wu Yong.
Chen Gong, Zhu Sheng, Wu Yong—with these three great strategists, Yang Hao's civil official team was beginning to take shape. Who among the heroes of the world dared to challenge him!
After listening to the system's prompt, Yang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. While his subordinates were strong in martial arts, governing and managing civil affairs was also a major undertaking that could not be taken lightly!
Strategic planning was also a top priority!
"Ahaha, Chen Gong!"
Yang Hao suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hey, what's wrong with the governor? He was just furious, and now he's overjoyed?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
"I say, let's just do our guard duties honestly and stop gossiping all day!"
The guards at the door began to grumble.
Yang Hao carefully examined the carved image of Chen Gong on the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Tower.
Chen Gong, in that turbulent and chaotic Three Kingdoms era, was undoubtedly a first-class strategist. He was able to support the brave but reckless Lu Bu and establish him as a regional overlord. His ability was unquestionable!
What a pity! Lu Bu did not fully utilize his talent. The learned Chen Gong was not heavily relied upon, which led to Lu Bu's defeat and death, and his hasty exit from the stage of history!
Chen Gong, a great talent! With a good hand, he was completely ruined by Lu Bu!
Recalling the brilliant Chinese history of his past life, Yang Hao's excited heart could no longer be contained. He closed his eyes, and ancient documents flashed through his mind, recording Chen Gong's brilliance!
Now, with his assistance, the world could be firmly divided into three parts!
In this life, in this world, he would surely let you shine with dazzling brilliance!
"System, open Chen Gong's data!"
Although he had a preliminary judgment of Chen Gong's abilities in his mind, he was still eager to check the detailed statistics.
*Hummm~~*
Detailed information about Chen Gong appeared before Yang Hao.
"Name: Chen Gong"
"Courtesy Name: Gongtai"
"Dynasty: Late Eastern Han Dynasty"
"Cultivation: Grandmaster First Layer"
"Cultivation Method: Loyalty and Righteousness That Defy Demons"
Experience: Chief strategist under Lu Bu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a native of Dongwu Yang in Dong Commandery. He was upright and resourceful, and in his youth, he associated with renowned individuals from across the land.
He once used diplomatic means to help Cao Cao gain control of Yan Province. Furthermore, Chen Gong secured the support of Bao Xin, the Administrator of Jibei, allowing Cao Cao to become the Inspector of Yan Province and suppress the Yellow Turban rebels occupying the region.
When Cao Cao led his troops to campaign against Tao Qian, Chen Gong was left in charge of Dong Commandery. However, he conspired with Zhang Miao, the Administrator of Chenliu, Zhang Chao (Zhang Miao's brother), Xu Si, the Counselor General, and Wang Kai, among others, to rebel and invited Lu Bu to become the ruler of Yan Province.
In 192 AD, Liu Dai, the Inspector of Yan Province, died while campaigning against the Yellow Turbans of Qing Province. Chen Gong and others advocated for Cao Cao to succeed as the Governor of Yan Province, thus earning Cao Cao's trust.
Later, Chen Gong persuaded Zhang Miao to betray Cao Cao and welcome Lu Bu into Yan Province, assisting Lu Bu in attacking Cao Cao and subsequently conquering both Yan Province and Xu Province. In Xiapi City, Lu Bu did not heed Chen Gong's strategy of mutual reinforcement from both sides, leading to his defeat.
After his defeat, Chen Gong was captured along with Lu Bu and others by Cao Cao. He refused Cao Cao's offer of surrender and resolved to die.
Grandmaster First Layer, a magnificent set of data, confirmed his initial judgment. With six Grandmasters under his command, covering strategy, civil affairs, military tactics, and even alchemy.
Yang Hao believed that the day he unified the Wu Kingdom was not far off, only a favorable wind was needed?
One day later, in the hall of the Governor's Mansion.
"Gongtai, for the past day, Zhu Sheng has been incessantly chattering in my ear. Every moment feels like a year!"
Yang Hao said with a wry smile.
"My lord jokes. I am Zhu Sheng. Greetings, Mr. Chen Gong!"
Zhu Sheng bowed slowly. Before him stood a figure at the pinnacle of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The name Chen Gong echoed through the ages!
"My lord, Governor Zhu is making light of it,"
Chen Gong, dressed in a grey long robe and wearing a scholar's cap, said with a smile.
"Hahaha, stop being modest, both of you. Gongtai has just arrived. Zhu Sheng, briefly explain the current situation."
Yang Hao said with a smile.
Currently, Yang Hao controlled Yong and Liang Provinces, occupying the northwest of the Wu Kingdom. In the east, the Tiangang Sect and the imperial army were locked in a stalemate.
In the south, Ji Shu was ruthless and had inherited the legacy of the Soul Refining Palace, his strength unfathomable. Ji Province and You Province were in chaos and disarray.
Zhu Sheng spoke point by point, explaining in detail.
Yang Hao observed Chen Gong throughout. From the moment he entered until now, his expression had been serious, with only faint smiles at the corners of his mouth.
He was well aware of Chen Gong's capabilities and hoped that after mastering the detailed information, Chen Gong would give him a satisfactory answer.
After Zhu Sheng finished speaking, Chen Gong walked to the map and surveyed the territory of the Wu Kingdom.
Not long after.
"Chen Gong is untalented, but he will do his utmost to share the burden with my lord!"
Chen Gong spoke, bowing slightly to Yang Hao.
Yang Hao's eyes lit up instantly.
"I am willing to devote my all to my lord!"
Chen Gong said decisively, his tone serious and his expression resolute!
"Good!"
Yang Hao waved his hand and approached Chen Gong.
"I believe you have a general understanding of the forces within the Wu Kingdom, Gongtai." Su Dan Novel Network
Yang Hao said with a solemn expression and a serious tone, "Regarding the next step, Gongtai, what do you think should be done? And in which direction will the world trend?"
As Yang Hao spoke, he carefully examined the map. Although in Shu Commandery, Wu Yong and Zhu Sheng had planned for him to acquire Yong and Liang Provinces and had also roughly analyzed the subsequent developments.
Unfortunately, now that Ji Shu had suddenly obtained the legacy of the Soul Refining Palace, Ji Shu had brought him immense pressure.
Overnight, the second largest sect in the Wu Kingdom was wiped out, and not a single soul survived.
Next, he might absorb the Tiangang Sect and force Ji Fa.
To the north, the Jin Kingdom had mobilized a hundred thousand troops, amassing them on the border. Who knew when the Jin soldiers would break through and march south, directly towards the capital of the Wu Kingdom!
