Three Kingdoms Summoning: Peak Resurgence

Chapter 35 Golden Summoning Begins

As the saying goes, one should be grateful when receiving favors, and one should be soft-hearted when receiving gifts. Since Zhang Rang has accepted the gift list, he must fulfill the reasonable requests raised by Wang Yu.

Otherwise, he would leave a handle in Wang Yu's hands, and it might even bring disaster to himself. After all, the Taiyuan Wang family behind him is not easy to deal with!

After taking care of Zhang Rang, Wang Yu discussed the next business with him. As for Zhang Jie, Wang Yu also gave the latter 3,000 strings of cash as a reward for his hard work in delivering the message.

…………

"My lord, he is just a eunuch. What is there to be afraid of?" Outside Zhang Rang's mansion, Ju Wuba could not help but speak.

"Wu Ba, eunuchs are not to be feared, what is to be feared are the people behind the eunuchs. Nowadays, the emperor has been eyeing the noble families covetously. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble."

"If we can use money to temporarily stabilize Zhang Rang and buy time for us to develop, then it won't be a big deal." Wang Yu explained, causing Ju Wuba to suddenly realize and secretly admire Wang Yu's wit.

After returning to Wang's shop, Wang Yu prepared to start a new summons. He had a premonition that the day of sending troops was not far away.

And now, he no longer lacks brave generals under his command, but he lacks political masters who can help him deal with some state affairs, matters concerning human relationships, and some changes in the current court!

So, Wang Yu prepared to summon a wave!
"System, use the gold random summoning card for me now." Wang Yu gave the summoning command to the system.

[Okay, the host uses the gold random summoning card to summon, and the summoning begins...]

[Ding Dong, summon the first person, the prequel of the Tang Dynasty, Tan Tai Yu, force: 107;]

During the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties period, the invincible general Li Cunxiao emerged. With his thirty-six-stroke Overlord Spear and the eight-hundred-jin Yuwang Divine Spear, he achieved the feat of being unrivaled on horseback.

During his life-long battles, he defeated many famous generals such as Wang Yanzhang and Gao Siji, and became the most powerful general in the Five Dynasties of the Late Tang Dynasty.

Li Cunxiao was able to become invincible thanks to the help of an old hero, who was Li Cunxiao’s master, the Silver Spear Patriarch Tan Tai Yu.

Tan Tai Yu's ancestors included two famous figures. One was Tan Tai Mieming, who was one of the seventy-two disciples of Confucius; the other was Tan Tai Gong, who was very outstanding in martial arts. He learned martial arts from the descendants of Du Mao, a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the Romance of the Late Tang and Five Dynasties, the eight hundred kilograms Yuwang Divine Spear in Li Cunxiao's hand was the weapon used by Tan Tai Gong in his day. Not only was he extremely strong, but he also created a unique skill based on the Du family's spear techniques, which was the Tan Tai family's unrivaled Thirty-Six-Way Overlord Spear.

Tan Tai Yu's father and grandfather were both masters of the magic spear, but he had a new idea. After all, this set of spear techniques required sufficient strength, and in terms of agility and versatility, it was obviously inferior to the gun technique. So he visited heroes all over the world to learn gun techniques.

Eventually, Tan Tai Yu gave up his lance and learned spear, and he studied under Yue Guogong Luo Jian. He became the best silver spear master in the world, and also became a legendary hero.

It can be said that in The Romance of the Late Tang and Five Dynasties, his disciple Li Cunxiao is the strongest, and there is no general who can defeat him in three combinations. However, in the prequel of The Romance of the Late Tang and Five Dynasties, Tan Tai Yu is the strongest, and he is undisputedly the strongest.

Take Li Keyong for example, he was one of the Five Elders of the Late Tang Dynasty. When he was young, he was definitely one of the strongest men in the world. However, when the northern barbarians invaded and the imperial court held a martial arts competition to recruit vanguards, he defeated twelve generals in succession.

But in the end, he met the young and competitive Tan Tai Yu. Facing Tan Tai Yu's fast and heavy spear skills, Li Keyong was defeated in just three or five rounds. In addition, in front of the two armies, even Luo Hongxin was no match for him. Wu Xinghai, who was defeated by him in fifty rounds, was still killed by Tan Tai Yu's surprise attack in the end.

There is no doubt about Tan Tai Yu's strength, but unfortunately, in the original novel, his strength is hard to describe in a few words, giving people the feeling that he is even inferior to Ju Wu Ba.

After all, Huang Zhong's old and strong skills all have a suppressing effect, while Tan Tai Yu's old and strong skills, except for being activated faster, have basically no advantages.

In a certain sense, he is even less strong than Huang Zhong.

"The Tan Tai Yu who appeared in the system's list of candidate characters this time is obviously the one from the prequel to the Late Tang Dynasty. I just don't know if he has any super skills with a martial arts level of 107." Wang Yu thought to himself.

[Ding Dong, summon the second person, a famous general from the Warring States Period, Lian Po, Commander: 100;]

Lian Po was a famous general of Zhao. In the 283th year of King Huiwen of Zhao ( BC), he participated in the five-nation coalition led by Yue Yi to attack Qi. He led the Zhao army to defeat the Qi army, capture Yangjin, and was appointed as Shangqing.

After this, he felt deeply dissatisfied because Lin Xiangru was in a higher position than him. Later, when Lin Xiangru repeatedly gave in and avoided him, he realized his mistake and asked for forgiveness by carrying a thorn stick on his back. The two then became sworn brothers.

In the sixth year of King Xiaocheng of Zhao (260 BC), Lian Po was sent to Changping to resist the Qin army. He used the strategy of defending the city with a strong fortress. The Qin army worked hard but to no avail and the war fell into a stalemate.

Later, King Xiaocheng of Zhao was dissatisfied with Lian Po, who had been on the defensive, because of the shortage of food and grass at home and the prolonged Battle of Changping. Against this background, the counter-espionage strategy implemented by the Qin State achieved its effect.

Because the King of Zhao was eager to fight the Qin army, he sent the young and energetic Zhao Kuo to replace the battle-hardened Lian Po. In the end, he suffered a disastrous defeat and the 450,000-strong Zhao army was wiped out.

After the Battle of Changping, which was in the 251th year of King Xiaocheng of Zhao ( BC), Lian Po and Le Cheng led their army to defeat the Yan army and killed the Yan general Li Fu. Yan ceded five cities and asked for peace. Lian Po was awarded the title of Xinping Jun and was appointed as the acting prime minister for his merits.

After King Zhao Daoxiang ascended the throne, because of Guo Kai's slander, King Zhao sent General Le Cheng to take over Lian Po's military power. Lian Po was furious and expelled Le Cheng. Out of fear, he fled to the State of Wei and lived in Daliang, but was not valued.

Under the military pressure of Qin, King Zhao Daoxiang wanted to re-employ Lian Po, and Lian Po also wanted to return to his country to serve. However, the envoy sent by King Zhao Daoxiang was bribed by Lian Po's enemy Guo Kai, who made him think that Lian Po was old, and therefore did not summon him back to the country.

Lian Po later became a general of Chu and died in depression in Shouchun.

As one of the main military generals in the late Zhao Dynasty, Lian Po fought for decades, defeated Qi and Yan, and defended Changping, with outstanding military exploits. Later generations called Lian Po, Bai Qi, Wang Jian, and Li Mu "the four famous generals of the Warring States Period."

His story of "reconciliation between generals and prime ministers" with Lin Xiangru has also become an important subject of literary and artistic creation in later generations.

Lian Po's abilities are unquestionable, but in the original novel, his skills are a bit difficult to use. He only has two points of command enhancement, and it can only be triggered when he is on defense. It's really lame.
