Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2155 Four Heavenly Ranks, Chaotic Summoning of All Trades

"Ding, the function has been activated. The current host has 1347 summoning points, 1 Chaotic Summoning Card, 1 Grandmaster Chaotic Summoning Card, and 1 God-level Battle Spirit. Would the host like to continue summoning?"

"Continue the summoning!"

"System, use summoning points to perform four more Heaven-level summons, all focusing on martial prowess. After that, activate the Hundred Industries Chaos Summoning Card!"

Perform four more summons, and you'll be just in time to reach the next balance point.

As for the subsequent random summons, they are not counted in these counts; such large-scale summons are considered special summons.

As for the Summoning of All Trades card, although he had never opened it before, he could roughly guess that it was likely mainly for special talents.

The importance of these special talents in the construction and development of a dynasty is undeniable; they can also contribute to the nation's development.

The Han Dynasty is now in a period of great development and transformation. After the Battle of Henan, the Han Dynasty, which can truly be called an imperial power, is in a phase of rapid development.

The demise of the Nangong family brought about a series of consequences, leading Guan Zhong's reforms to a crucial turning point.

Wang Yu's establishment of official schools, decentralization of education, and implementation of three years of compulsory education are the most direct evidence of this.

The implementation of this policy will directly affect the interests of the aristocratic class, and will inevitably cause a backlash, or even unrest.

Otherwise, why would Wang Yu assign this task to Zhao Anling instead of Guan Zhong?
From the very beginning of his tenure as prime minister, Zhao Anling's actions were all aimed at ensuring that such a day would one day come.

While reforms may provoke backlash or even unrest from certain interest groups, that is never a reason to forgo reform. As for waiting until unification to implement reforms, that is utter nonsense!

Reform itself is for the purpose of strengthening the country; how can we talk about unification without a strong country? If I'm already unified, what's the point of reform? Historically, why didn't Shang Yang wait until the Qin Dynasty unified the country before implementing reforms?
In this apocalypse, from the double white reforms of Emperor Ling to Alexander's Macedonian reforms, were they just making things difficult for themselves?
Furthermore, reforms before unification would affect the interests of certain interest groups. But once unification is complete, how large will those interest groups be? Will reforms still be possible then?

The Han Dynasty, which is undergoing great changes and development, needs the participation of all kinds of talents.

It's not just national talents in politics and economics that are needed; talents in all walks of life are equally required.

"Ding, first summoning, Heavenly-level martial force summoning activated..."

"Ding, the first person, Wen Yang, martial arts 100."

"Ding, the second person, Liu Zan, martial arts 100."

"Ding, third person, Wang Jie, strength 102."

"Ding, fourth person, Wang Buchao, martial arts 103."

"Ding, the fifth person, Mang Yinglong, martial prowess 102."

"System, remove Wen Yang and Liu Zan, and summon from the remaining three people: Wang Jie, Wang Buchao, and Mang Yinglong."

The five summoning candidates this time are fairly evenly matched in terms of strength.

As for which two people to remove, there's absolutely no question about it!
Although Wen Yang also has a general soul version with a base strength of 103, even if you equip him with a general soul, he will only reach the level of the remaining three summoning candidates.

Moreover, this also involves the cost of the soul and battle spirit, and the cost-effectiveness is simply incomparable to that of Wang Jie, Wang Buchao, and Mang Yinglong.

Moreover, Wen Yang and Liu Zan did not have any special command skills, and they had no other advantages compared to the remaining three.

In fact, if we're talking about factors other than military strength, Mangyinglong actually has a huge advantage in that regard.

Mang Yinglong was a capable ruler. In Myanmar, and even in Southeast Asia, he could be considered a great emperor. He made significant achievements in politics, economics, and culture, especially in military affairs, where he forged a powerful dynasty in Southeast Asia.

If we're comparing overall quality, the remaining four people, even if they were all together, couldn't compare.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Wang Buchao. Command 54, Martial Strength 103, Intelligence 48, Politics 42, Charisma 74."

Implanted identity: Former general of Cang, recruited by Huangfu Wuyou to become a member of the Crown Prince's faction. Although he is sixty years old, he has the courage of ten thousand men.

Carried: A ten-foot-long spear.

Not bad. Although Mang Yinglong is not the best in terms of overall quality among the candidates, he is at least the one with the highest martial prowess.

Although he's a bit old, over sixty, he might not be of much use to others, and even if he uses his old and strong skills, he won't be able to use them for many more years.

However, this is different. Throughout history, although there have been many who claimed to be vigorous in old age, how many of them have been able to be as vigorous as this one?
At the age of 98, in just six or seven rounds, he was able to defeat Cheng Yaojin's grandson, Cheng Qianzhong, and even fight Luo Tong to the death.

Moreover, in his battle with Luo Tong, he actually had the upper hand, but he was so frightened by the intensity of Luo Tong's fierce fighting that he didn't recover in time, which is why Luo Tong shot him.

In terms of raw power, this old general is still superior to Luo Tong.

If one had a stronger mental fortitude, they could have easily defeated Luo Tong without much trouble. At worst, the opponent would have escaped, and one's own life would have been safe.

However, psychological qualities are indeed an important factor influencing the outcome of a battle.

If someone else were summoned and was sixty years old, Wang Yu might have just let them retire on the spot, unable to bear the thought of them going to the battlefield at such an advanced age.

If this old man doesn't die, what's the big deal if he works hard for another twenty or thirty years?
"Ding, second summoning, Heavenly-level martial force summoning activated..."

"Ding, the first person, Wang Gui, martial arts strength 102."

"Ding, the second person, Zhou Ben, strength 102."

"Ding, the third person, Zhang Qi, strength 102."

"Ding, fourth person, Qiu Yanchen, strength 102."

"Ding, fifth person, Qiu Yanchen, martial arts 102."

"System, remove Qiu Yanchen and Qiu Yanchen, and summon from among the remaining three: Wang Gui, Zhou Ben, and Zhang Qi."

The five summoning candidates all had a base strength of 102, which, if placed among the Heavenly level, would be just the middle level.

It's not good, but it's not bad either; it's a standard level that's neither good nor bad.

However, all five of them had a score of 102, and in particular, these five were all primarily powerful warriors, with no overwhelming advantage in the other attributes.

Therefore, there is absolutely no special consideration or need to be too particular about which two to remove.

Fortunately, Wang Yu removed the three-character names and kept the three candidates with two-character names for the summoning.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Wang Gui, with Command 74, Martial Prowess 102, Intelligence 51, Politics 47, and Charisma 85. Implanted identity: A powerful family in Qingbei, formerly a general in Dongcang, joined the Han army after the defeat, and is currently a colonel in the Han army."

As one of the historically documented "hundred-man killers," Wang Tiebian possessed considerable strength.

"Ding, third summoning, Heavenly-level Martial Power Summoning Initiated..."

"Ding, the first person, Ma Fang, martial arts 100."

"Ding, the second person, Hou Yi (King of Youqiong), martial prowess 100."

Hou Yi, a figure in mythology, left behind the legend of Hou Yi shooting down the suns.

In history, there was also a Hou Yi, the leader of the Youqiong clan. Moreover, he once seized power from the Xia king Tai Kang when he was indulging in hunting and pleasure and neglecting state affairs, thus weakening the Xia dynasty's rule.

Tai Kang was exiled by Yi and died of illness in Yangxia. After Tai Kang's death, Yi installed Tai Kang's younger brother Zhong Kang as the Xia ruler, but real power was in the hands of Hou Yi.

After Zhongkang died, his son succeeded him. Houyi then drove out Xiang and became the ruler himself. This is known in historical records as Taikang losing the country and Houyi replacing Xia.

However, Hou Yi was clearly no better than the rulers of the Xia Dynasty. He was just as domineering and arrogant, only caring about hunting and leaving the affairs of state to Han Zhuo.

History has once again proven to us that what has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again.

If you do the first thing today, someone else will do the fifteenth thing someday.

Hou Yi's subordinate Han Zhuo conspired with Hou Yi's concubine Chun Hu to kill Hou Yi's trusted ministers Wu Luo, Bo Yin, Xiong Kun, and Mang Yu over a period of three years.

In just a few short years, almost all the ministers in the court became Han Zhuo's close associates.

Therefore, Han Zhuo believed that the time was ripe and planned to find an opportunity to kill him.

Not long after, while he was having an affair with Chunhu, Hou Yi, who was drunk, caught them in bed together. Enraged, Hou Yi tried to kill Han Zhuo, but Han Zhuo instead killed him in his bedchamber.

In short, he was an unlucky man who not only failed to be a good ruler, but was also cuckolded by his subordinates.

In particular, their deaths were quite gruesome.

After witnessing his subordinate Han Zhu cuckold him, he was then beaten to death on his bed in the palace.

After that, Han Zhu chopped his body into minced meat, added highly poisonous drugs, cooked it into meat patties, and then sent them to Hou Yi's people to eat. Those who ate them were poisoned to death, and those who did not eat them were hacked to death by soldiers.

As a result, some members of the Youqiong tribe, fearing for their lives, fled to remote areas, while those who remained changed their names and sought refuge with other feudal lords. From then on, the Youqiong tribe could no longer be found in the Central Plains.

However, in terms of martial prowess, the historical Hou Yi was not as legendary as the mythical Hou Yi; he was only known for his archery skills.

Apart from that, there is almost nothing.

Based solely on the record of his archery skills, this guy was actually rated as Heavenly level by the system, albeit only the lowest Heavenly level. However, Wang Yu still harbored deep doubts about this.

After all, how can one's fighting skills be commendable if one discovers that his subordinate has cheated on him and is then killed by his subordinate?
"Ding, the third person, Hong Feilong, strength 101."

"Ding, fourth person, Li Si'an, strength 101."

"Ding, fifth person, Li Yan, martial arts 100."

"System, remove Ma Fang and Hou Yi, and summon from the remaining three people: Hong Feilong, Li Si'an, and Li Yan."

Compared to Ma Fang and Hou Yi, Li Yan was a true all-rounder. As a civil official, he was also capable of holding his own against Huang Zhong, one of the Five Tiger Generals!

Clearly, his overall attributes are far superior to those of Ma Fang and Hou Yi.

Moreover, although there are records of Hou Yi being skilled in archery, it is impossible for him to have been preserved.

Otherwise, if it were to merge with Hou Yi and become a general's soul, wouldn't that be a complete waste of this summoning opportunity?
After all, given this guy's overall abilities, what kind of help could he provide to Hou Yi if he were to fuse his soul into him?
It's simply not worth spending those 150 summoning points.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Hong Feilong. Command 48, Martial Strength 101, Intelligence 48, Politics 42, Charisma 65."

Implanted identity: General of the Eastern Barbarian Allied Forces.

In the novel, he can be considered a minor boss in the early stages.

In Bianliang, he challenged the heroes of the Central Plains, defeating twenty generals in succession with his pair of phoenix-winged gilded halberds. Left with no other option, the imperial court ordered a summons of heroes from across the land, promising that anyone who could defeat Hong Feilong would be pardoned, no matter how grave their crime.

This led to Yang Shih-han's appearance, where he used the Golden Hammer of the Drum to overpower the Golden Phoenix Wing Halberd and defeat Hong Fei-long, thus saving face for the Song Dynasty.

Just like Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Yang Shihhan and Hong Feilong were destined to be enemies because of their weapons. One was armed with a drum-shaped golden hammer, while the other was armed with a phoenix-winged gilded halberd.

Unfortunately, in many historical novels, from the Han to the Tang, then to the Song, and finally to the Ming, very few characters who used the halberd as a weapon had a good ending; in fact, almost all of them were portrayed as villains.

From Liang Fang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuwen Chengdu of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, to Sima Yunlei and Hong Feilong in the Song Dynasty Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and then to Lü Ju in the Ming Dynasty Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which of them who used a halberd was a righteous character? Which of them lived a long time?

The most tragic one was Sima Yunlei, who was defeated by a minor character in an extremely dramatic way.

Conversely, those who used the Thunder Drum Hammer in various dynasties were not necessarily righteous characters. However, among the righteous characters, there was always a group of four fierce and eight great hammers.

This weapon is practically standard equipment for the righteous characters in historical novels.

"Ding, fourth summoning, Heavenly-level martial force summoning is in progress..."

"Ding, the first person, Wen Yang, martial arts 103."

Wen Yang, this young man seems quite restless in the system database!

Two versions, this one has just been released, and the other can't wait!
"Ding, the second person, Li Jinlong, martial arts 103."

"Ding, third person, Kim Yu-shin, strength 103."

"Ding, fourth person, Zhang Qi, martial arts 102."

"Ding, fifth person, Lu Shuang, combat strength 100."

Compared to previous summons, the candidates this time are of a much higher caliber, guaranteeing at least one Heavenly-level general with a base attack power of 103.

With a strength of 103, this level is not weak at all in the Heavenly Rank. It can be said to be one of the best in the Heavenly Rank!

"System, remove Zhang Qi and Lu Shuang, and summon from among the remaining three: Wen Yang, Li Jinlong, and Jin Yuxin."
