"System, retrieve the data under my command!"
In Chang'an City, Yang Hao stood before the Xuanzheng Hall, gazing at the nine cauldrons of national destiny that churned with the nation's luck.
"Ding! Retrieval successful. Host's accumulated Fortune and Merit Value: 9 billion. Slaughter Value: 7 billion. Reincarnation Power: 50 million!"
"System, deduct 1 billion Slaughter Value and exchange it for Reincarnation Power!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host. You have obtained 100 million points of Reincarnation Power. Do you wish to summon heroes?"
"Summon!"
"Ding! Successfully deducted 95 million points of Reincarnation Power. Initiating summoning of ancient heroes!"
"Weng~~"
A golden long river streaked across the void deep within the soul sea. The river of history, flowing from the Spring and Autumn period, passed through banners of various eras and arrived at the tumultuous Sixteen Kingdoms period. The river surged, and within mere breaths, terrifying phantoms appeared, forming a vast army. The colossal legion was split into two, distinct from each other!
"Guai Zi Ma!"
"Tie Fu Tu!"
Gazing at the massive and terrifying legion, Yang Hao's heart was stirred. Guai Zi Ma was a type of light or medium cavalry, deployed on the flanks of the main army. Tie Fu Tu, on the other hand, was a heavy armored cavalry, usually in groups of three. Both soldiers and horses were covered in heavy iron armor, and they were chained together, forming an impregnable wall when lined up.
Guai Zi Ma was responsible for the charge, while Tie Fu Tu was for the kill. They cooperated seamlessly, dominating the battlefield. Legend had it that these two cavalry types, or rather, these two tactics, originated from Murong Ke, an outstanding general of the Sixteen Kingdoms era!
"Weng~~"
At this moment, all the carved figures on the seventh level of the Reincarnation Profound Yellow Pagoda had lit up. The last golden figure left the river of history and rushed into the fourth level of the Reincarnation Profound Yellow Pagoda.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the peerless general of the ages from the river of history – the Beloved of Antiquity – Murong Ke!!"
Murong Ke!
Yang Hao smiled slightly, his guess correct. Murong Ke was renowned during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Excluding those who declared themselves emperor, he was arguably the foremost general and the most remarkable figure of the Sixteen Kingdoms.
His life began at the age of fifteen, when he took command of the national army. He attacked Goguryeo, annihilated Yuwen, fought against Yan and Wei, battled at Lukou, Yewang, and Guanggu, and assisted the young emperor in capturing Luoyang, earning him great fame.
Most notably, in the battle against Wei, he used the "connected horse" strategy to defeat the historically famous Martial Dao Heavenly King, Ran Min.
Throughout his life, he fought numerous major battles, repeatedly achieving victory against the odds, solidifying the Murong clan's dominance in Liaodong, and becoming a celebrated minister and valiant general of antiquity.
"View detailed information of the Beloved of Antiquity – Murong Ke!"
"Name: Murong Ke"
"Courtesy Name: Xuan Gong"
"Dynasty: Northern Yan of the Sixteen Kingdoms Period"
"Cultivation: Quasi-Emperor First Level!"
"Cultivation Technique: Scorching Sun Imperial Battle Scripture!"
"Attached Troop Type: Peerless Troop Type: 50,000 Guai Zi Ma! 50,000 Tie Fu Tu!"
Experience: Murong Ke was the fourth son of Murong Huang, Emperor Wenming of the Former Yan. He was tall and robust, with a resolute and dignified personality, and was placed in command of the army.
Murong Ke's first appearance was in the fifth month of the fourth year of Jianwu in the Later Zhao dynasty. Emperor Shi Hu of Later Zhao dispatched an army of hundreds of thousands to attack, besieging Daji City. Murong Ke led 2,000 cavalry out of the city at dawn to pursue. Shi Hu was greatly alarmed and fled in disarray, abandoning his armor. Murong Ke pursued victoriously, routing the Later Zhao army and killing over 30,000 soldiers.
In the twelfth month of the fourth year of Jianwu, Murong Ke led 7,000 elite cavalry to ambush in Miyun Mountain, defeating Ma Qiu at Sancangou. In the tenth month of the seventh year of Xiankang, Murong Ke defended Liaodong, appeasing the old and welcoming the new, repeatedly defeating Goguryeo forces and striking such fear into their hearts that they dared not invade Yan territory again.
By the first month of the second year of Yonghe, Murong Huang attacked the Fuyu Kingdom. Murong Ke commanded the various armies, advancing under a hail of arrows and stones, conquering Fuyu, capturing the Fuyu King Xuan and over 50,000 of his tribe, and returning, his might resonating north and south.
In the fourth month of the eighth year of Yonghe, Ran Min prepared to engage Former Yan in war. Yan and Wei armies fought ten times, with Yan forces suffering defeat each time. Murong Ke adopted the strategy of his aide Gao Kai, hastily dispatching light cavalry to intercept the enemy, then feigning defeat to lure them into open ground. He divided the Yan army into three parts. Ran Min, relying on his bravery and underestimating the enemy, fell into the trap. He directly charged into the center of the Yan army's iron horse formation. The Yan army's flanks attacked from both sides, decisively defeating Ran Min's army, killing over 7,000 soldiers. Ran Min broke through and fled over twenty li. Unexpectedly, his mount suddenly died, and he was captured by the Yan army. Ran Wei was annihilated.
In the second month of the sixth year of Jianxi, Murong Ke, along with Prince Wu Murong Chui, jointly attacked Luoyang and captured it within a month.
In the seventh year of Jianxi, Murong Ke fell gravely ill. Still concerned for the state, he uttered a final sentence and passed away. Later, Former Qin destroyed Former Yan, and Qin offered sacrifices to Murong Ke's spirit tablet with the rites of a grand feast.

"Ding! Successfully deducted 200 million Fortune and Merit Value!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host. You have obtained twenty Epic Blind Boxes!"
"Ding! Do you wish to open them!"
"Open!" Yang Hao said, looking at the epic-grade blind boxes.
"Bang!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining, ten Emperor-grade Immortal Treasure warships, ten Emperor-grade Immortal Treasure warships, 100,000 sets of Vermilion Bird Legion armor, 100,000 sets of Azure Dragon Legion armor, 50,000 Tie Fu Tu, Dragon Bone Iron: (Dragon Bone Iron: Iron ore formed from the fall of true dragons, which can be smelted into Immortal Treasures to enhance their killing power), 100,000 Kui Niu Legion armor, 50,000 Guai Zi Ma, ten Immortal King Dragon Horses, 100,000 sets of Vermilion Bird Legion armor!"
After closing the blind boxes, Yang Hao stood up and gazed into the distance for a long time. A figure entered the imperial palace from the sky.
"Murong Ke pays respects to the Sacred Emperor!"
"Murong Ke, heed my decree!"
"You are hereby appointed Commander of the Xuanwu Legion, to command an army!"
"Your subject, Murong Ke, thanks the Sacred Emperor!"
Murong Ke bowed and then stood aside.
Shortly after, Wang Zhongsi of the Qilin Legion also entered the Xuanzheng Hall square and bowed respectfully to Yang Hao.
"The Void Demon Clan bears a deep enmity with our Great Han, a destiny predestined in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. Since our Great Han was promoted to Sacred Court, the Void Demon Clan has incited thirty-six factions, including the Dragon Nether Sacred Court and the Heaven Mending Pavilion, to annihilate our Great Han. The matter in Mengzhou in the eastern Immortal Realm also bears the imprint of the Void Demon Clan. The Void Demon Clan's ambition to destroy our Great Han remains unquenched."
Yang Hao gazed forward and spoke in a deep voice.
"Your subject, Wang Zhongsi, requests a decree to annihilate the Void Demon Clan!" Wang Zhongsi immediately stepped forward and made his request.
"Sacred Emperor, your subject requests to battle and annihilate the Void Demon Clan, thereby enhancing the national prestige of our Great Han!" Murong Ke said solemnly, stepping forward and respectfully requesting to fight.
"Issue the decree!"
"Effective immediately, the Qilin Legion and the Xuanwu Legion shall attack the Void Demon Clan!"
"One Void Immortal Emperor, whose three Emperor Fates have been crippled, reduced to an ordinary Immortal Emperor. Do the two esteemed ministers feel any pressure?"
"Replying to the Sacred Emperor, your subject requests to sweep away the Void Demon Clan within three months, suppress the Void Immortal Emperor, and offer the blood of the Immortal Emperor to the rivers and mountains of our Great Han!" Murong Ke's expression remained unchanged as he made his resolute request.
"Your subject feels the same!" Wang Zhongsi stated. Sudan Novel Network
