Chapter 58 The First General of the Former Qin Dynasty
[Okay, host, use 50 summoning points to remove Bian Yuanheng's spot and summon from Lin Chong and Deng Qiang. Host currently has 5975 summoning points remaining.]
Although Lin Chong's displayed strength was far inferior to that of Bian Yuanheng, who possessed Heaven-level strength, he was blessed with a powerful master and senior brother.
Leaving aside the unparalleled fame of his senior brother Lu Junyi, his master, Iron-Armed Hero Zhou Tong, was a true master of god-like skill, based on the battle record in "The Legend of Iron-Armed Golden Knife Zhou Tong".
Although Lin Chong himself is quite strong, his network of connections behind him is terrifying. If he can be summoned, it won't be a loss.
Deng Qiang is renowned as the foremost general of the Former Qin Dynasty. If he could be summoned, he might also bring along Zhang Hao, another formidable general capable of defeating ten thousand men, whose quality would be no less impressive.
Therefore, Jiang Ce can make a huge profit no matter which of these two he summons.
Of course, it would be even better if we could summon Deng Qiang, who has even stronger overall abilities and just as good connections.
[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining Deng Qiang, a famous general of the Former Qin Dynasty, with a command 98, martial prowess 104, intelligence 82, politics 90, and charm 93;]
Implanted identity: One of the former border generals of Laizhou. Because of his bravery in battle, he temporarily served as the host's bodyguard. After the fall of Laizhou, he went to seek refuge with his good brother Zhang Hao in Fengxiang.
After the host made a name for himself in Laizhou and issued a recruitment order, he brought his friends whom he had made in the martial arts world and went to Laiyang County to join the host. They are currently in the recruitment hall, and the host can summon them at any time.
The group consists of six people: Zhang Wang, Zhang Ping, Zhang Hao, Xu Cheng, Lü Guang, and Yang An.
Equipment carried: Double-edged spear, black lion-haired halberd;
"pretty."
Seeing that the summoning had actually brought Deng Qiang to life, Jiang Ce was genuinely satisfied.
Deng Qiang was a famous general of the Former Qin Dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. He was brave and skilled in battle and commanding troops. He devoted his life to expanding the territory and securing the country for the Former Qin Empire, and made outstanding contributions.
In 357 AD, he followed Fu Jian to attack Zhang Ping of Bingzhou. He fought fiercely with Zhang Hao on the battlefield and captured this fierce general known as "the enemy of ten thousand men", thus quelling the rebellion in Bingzhou.
Later, he led troops to quell the rebellion of the Qiang and Hu tribes in Guanzhong, using both suppression and appeasement to subdue the various tribes and stabilize the heartland of the Former Qin.
In 370 AD, Deng Qiang assisted Wang Meng in conquering the Former Yan. In the Battle of Luchuan, he personally led his elite elite troops to charge into the enemy lines and decisively defeated the main force of the Yan army, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. This victory helped the Former Qin to destroy the Former Yan and laid the foundation for the unification of the north.
After that, he led troops to quell separatist forces in various regions, guarded the borders, won every battle, and was promoted to high office based on his merits. He was the number one contributor to the unification of the north by the Former Qin.
Throughout his life, he was undoubtedly a peerless general among the many generals of the Former Qin Dynasty, possessing both literary and military talents.
The Book of Jin records that he was exceptionally brave and fierce, possessed the talent of a general, was the bravest in the army, was well-versed in military strategy, and was decisive in battle, which was incomparable to the bravery of ordinary men.
Deng Qiang was a strict disciplinarian, and his soldiers were elite and brave. He was highly respected in the army and was known as one of the best warriors in the Former Qin Dynasty, along with Zhang Hao, who surrendered. He was deeply trusted by Fu Jian and Wang Meng.
Wang Meng praised him for being both loyal and brave, and possessing both wisdom and courage.
Fu Jian regarded him as a pillar of the state and relied on him as a key figure in expanding the territory and securing the country.
He devoted his life to the Former Qin Dynasty, achieved remarkable military exploits, and made unparalleled contributions to the Former Qin's prosperity and the unification of the north. He was a rare general of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, known for his loyalty, bravery, wisdom, and completeness, and his name is recorded in history.
Although Jiang Ce had already guessed that Deng Qiang's abilities would definitely be very strong.
However, when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still slightly shocked. Deng Qiang was not only a peak Heaven-level general, but also a high-ranking Heaven-level commander, and his political acumen was not weak either.
In terms of both martial prowess and command, he has reached the Heavenly level, which is already quite excellent.
Moreover, Deng Qiang brought Zhang Hao, who was a warrior capable of defeating ten thousand men, Lü Guang, who stabbed Zhang Hao, and Xu Cheng and others with him when he came out this time.
Zhang Hao, who was ranked alongside Deng Qiang as one of the top warriors of the Former Qin Dynasty, was probably at the peak of the Heavenly level. Moreover, his leadership skills were not bad either. Although he was far from being comparable to Deng Qiang, he should still have top-tier strength.
As for Lü Guang, he can be considered another version of Deng Qiang. Not only is his martial prowess extremely high, but his leadership ability is also quite strong. He is definitely a top-tier commander. As for how far he will go, we can only wait and see.
Xu Cheng, Zhang Ping, and others were either highly skilled in martial arts or had strong leadership abilities.
With Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao, and others around, they should be able to take control of Liangshan soon, and then they can unleash their full potential.
[Does the host wish to continue summoning?]
"No need for further summoning for now, let's stop here!"
With four top-tier generals—Deng Qiang, Xu Cheng, Zhang Hao, and Lü Guang—controlling Liangshan shouldn't be a problem. As for the remaining three newbie summons, they should be used cautiously.
After all, once these three uses are used up, even if Jiang Ce summons a number of people along with him, just like he does now, not all of them will necessarily be implanted into his hands.
Just like this summons, if the important figures are missing, I will really suffer a huge loss.
[Okay, the summoning is complete. This time, the host summoned one person, who brought six other characters with him, for a total of seven people to be born.]
The system is currently at level one, and it is 98 people short of level two.
The system is currently at level one, and it needs 91 more people to reach level two.
…………
After the summoning ended, the memories of Deng Qiang and the others were quickly implanted into Jiang Ce's mind by the system. This gave Jiang Ce a flash of inspiration, and a rough plan emerged in his mind.
Upon realizing this, Jiang Ce immediately summoned his advisors.
Soon, Fan Li, Tian Feng, Wen Zhong, Wei Renpu, Liu Chuanzhi and others arrived one after another, and Jiang Ce told everyone present his thoughts.
Fan Li's eyes lit up when he heard this. He hadn't expected that an important figure in the former Laizhou military would have such a connection with his prince. If he manipulated things a little, it might be a good excuse to attack the six great families.
At the beginning of spring, Jiang Ce prepared to lead his army to take action against the six major families of Laizhou. However, after careful consideration, he abandoned the idea.
After all, even though the six major families are already local tyrants who control their own territories, they are still nominally subjects of Cangming. If Jiang Ce rashly leads his army to attack them, it will give the Yuan family a handle to hold them accountable.
This time, the system directly implanted Zhang Hao's father into Fengxiang County, so Jiang Ce could take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the strength of the six major families in Laizhou.
Soon, the group devised a detailed strategy, and after careful consideration, Jiang Ce immediately arranged to meet with Zhang Hao and the others.
