"Ding! Reminder to host, due to the seventh layer of the Samsara Xuanhuang Pagoda not being activated, the three ancient heroes Guan Yu, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun failed to be ranked. The three heroes remain peerless heroes. As compensation, they are rewarded with an increase of two major realms!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the heroes Guan Yu, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun failed to be ranked. As system compensation, the heroes Guan Yu, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun are rewarded with an increase of two major realms!!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, Zhao Zilong of White Horse Silver Spear, Guan Yu who Shakes Wuhua, and Dian Wei, the Ancient Fierce General, have completed the triple combination of historical romances and official history, and have stepped into the top small Celestial Venerable realm!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, Zhao Zilong of White Horse Silver Spear, Guan Yu who Shakes Wuhua, and Dian Wei, the Ancient Fierce General, have broken through the bottleneck of the small Celestial Venerable realm, broken through the bottleneck of the great Celestial Venerable realm, and stepped into the Supreme Xuan Venerable fourth layer!"
"Charge into battle and kill enemies, taking the lead!"
"Jade can be shattered but its white cannot be altered, bamboo can be burned but its integrity cannot be destroyed. Though the body perishes, its name can be recorded in history!!"
"Twin Halberds Unite, Divine Emperor Be At Ease!"
"Weng~~~"
At this moment, in the void above Chang'an City, three thousand-zhang-tall figures appeared, radiating layers of golden light. One was handsome with thick eyebrows and large eyes, fair-skinned and beardless, holding a Cliff Corner Spear; another had a long, flowing beard, a face like ripe dates, lips like painted rouge, phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, holding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade; the third had a robust physique, eyes flashing like lightning, extraordinary strength, holding twin halberds burning with scarlet flames. The moment they appeared, thunder struck, accompanied by the roars of ferocious beasts, the cries of phoenixes, and the surging roars of dragons!
"Your subject, Zhao Yun!"
"Your subject, Guan Yu!"
"Your subject, Dian Wei!"
"We pay homage to Your Majesty's imperial grace!!"
Appearing under the general's banner, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Dian Wei all knelt on one knee, paying homage to Yang Hao on the imperial throne.
"Rise!"
Yang Hao commanded, then waved his hand. His primordial spirit disappeared from the summoning platform. Before the hall of the imperial study, Yang Hao opened his eyes, a hint of excitement in his brows. Now, the Great Han possessed five peerless generals at the Supreme Xuan Venerable realm: Wang Yanzhang, Liang Lin, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Dian Wei!
The current Great Han Divine Dynasty was beginning to narrow the gap with the eight great families of the Central Plains. This was a gap that the Ye family and other forces had desperately pursued for an era without success. The Great Han Divine Dynasty had only existed for a few decades, and this gap was rapidly disappearing!
"System, deduct one hundred million killing points, exchange for Samsara power!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully deducting one hundred million killing points and obtaining ten million points of Samsara power. The host has one thousand one hundred and ninety-nine thousand points of Samsara power remaining!"
"Use Samsara power to summon heroes!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully deducting five million nine hundred thousand points of Samsara power, the system begins to summon!"
After deducting five million points of Samsara power, in the depths of Yang Hao's soul sea, behind the Samsara Xuanhuang Pagoda, golden light permeated, condensing into phantoms. The historical scroll flipped layer by layer, the sea of stars receded, and battle flags fluttered!
Buzz buzz!
It directly stopped at the Eastern Jin – Southern Song period!
A carved human figure on the sixth layer of the pagoda instantly lit up with layers of golden light. Simultaneously, in the river of history, a figure slowly emerged and directly entered the fourth layer.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the peerless general from history, the foremost general of the Southern Song Dynasty – Tan Daoji!"
Tan Daoji!
The foremost general of the Southern Song Dynasty!
The originator of the Thirty-Six Stratagems!
Throughout his life, he campaigned in all directions from a young age, from the Northern Expedition against Later Qin, to his contributions as an official in the founding of the Song, from rescuing Dongyang, to supporting Emperor Wen, and resisting Northern Wei, his life experiences were extremely rich. Some even said his experiences were comparable to Yue Fei!
In 782 AD, the Tang Dynasty posthumously honored sixty-four ancient famous generals. Even in 1123 AD, the Song court, following the Tang dynasty's practice, established temples for ancient famous generals. Among the seventy-two famous generals, Tan Daoji was still listed.

Experience: In the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tan Daoji joined Liu Yu's uprising to quell the usurpation of Huan Xuan, making significant contributions and being appointed Grand Commandant's Chief Clerk and Advisory General.
In the twelfth year of Yixi, Tan Daoji was appointed by Liu Yu as the vanguard for the Northern Expedition. In the Northern Expedition, Tan Daoji led his troops, successively capturing Xuchang, Luoyang, and Tongguan, even advancing to pacify Chang'an and annihilate Later Qin. His achievements in the Northern Expedition directly led to Tan Daoji becoming General of Conquest and Inspector of Langya.
In the second year of Yuanxi of the Eastern Jin, Liu Yu proclaimed himself Emperor, and Tan Daoji was enfeoffed as the Duke of Yongxiu for his meritorious service in assisting in the enthronement.
In the second year of Jingping, Tan Daoji participated in the dethronement of Emperor Shao of Song and the enthronement of Emperor Wen of Song. For his contribution to supporting the Emperor, he was promoted to General of Conquest of the North.
In the eighth year of Yuanjia, Tan Daoji led a large army to attack Wei, achieving multiple victories and directly advancing to Licheng. Due to the depletion of grain, he was forced to return.
Later, Emperor Wen fell ill, and his condition worsened. He became suspicious of Tan Daoji's fame and summoned him back to be killed.
When Tan Daoji was arrested, he even took off his cap and threw it to the ground, angrily shouting: "You are destroying your ten-thousand-mile Great Wall!"
"System, continue summoning!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, successfully deducted five million nine hundred thousand points of Samsara power, the system begins to summon!"
"Ding! Reminder to the host, remaining Samsara power is one hundred and ninety thousand!"
Swoosh!
Splash!
A multicolored starlit river appeared, stars shifting and turning, shining brilliantly!
Hum~~
The stars were densely scattered, flags unfurling and rolling, a carved human figure on the sixth layer of the pagoda flashed with golden light!
A figure, slightly flickering in the river of history, held a giant silver hammer, with a terrifying beast beside him. The figure moved, stepping from the river of history!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the peerless figure from history, the eccentric of the military strategist – Li Zuoche!"
Li Zuoche!
Yang Hao looked at the figure. This Li Zuoche had crossed swords with Han Xin, the God of War, though he had not won. After being captured by Han Xin, he even sought advice from him on strategies to conquer Qi and Yan, indicating his outstanding strategic thinking.
He had a famous saying that circulated in the world: "Even a wise man with a thousand plans may have one lapse; even a fool with a thousand plans may have one gain!"

In October of the third year of Han, Han Xin led over ten thousand newly recruited soldiers, crossed the Taihang Mountains, and attacked Zhao.
Li Zuoche and the Zhao army commander concentrated twenty thousand troops at Jingxing Pass in the Taihang Mountains, occupying advantageous terrain.
