I summon all the famous generals in history in another world

Chapter 1472 The Sudden Failure of the Second Balance (Introduction Chapter)

"Ding! The second person to achieve balance, the historical figure of the Western Jin Dynasty - Emperor Hui of Jin, Sima Zhong, with a command stat of 50, martial prowess of 32, intelligence of 44, and political acumen of 52."

Characters included: Sima Liang, Prince of Runan; Sima Wei, Prince of Chu; Sima Lun, Prince of Zhao; Sima Jiong, Prince of Qi; Sima Yi, Prince of Changsha; Sima Ying, Prince of Chengdu; Sima Yong, Prince of Hejian; Sima Yue, Prince of Donghai; Crown Prince Sima Yu; Yang Jun; Yang Zhi; and Jia Nanfeng.

Yo!
Su Ye's eyes lit up. Was there really such a good thing?
Su Ye originally thought that based on the quality of the five powerful figures he had summoned earlier, the quality of this balance should not be low either.

I never expected that after the explosive quality of the first balance, the second balance would turn out like this?

They were all a bunch of useless idiots. The only one who was decent, or at least somewhat human, was Sima Yi, the King of Changsha, but unfortunately, he was betrayed in the end.

Sima Liang, the Prince of Runan, was originally chosen by Sima Yan as a regent (along with Yang Jun), but Yang Jun later altered the imperial edict, removing him from the regent list. He was sent to Xuchang by Yang Jun before Sima Yan's funeral, showing no sense of responsibility.

Politically, after he eliminated Yang Jun and became the regent, he made no contribution whatsoever, and was inexplicably eliminated. He also made no contribution in military affairs.

All things considered, it's completely unclear what he's doing.

Although Chu King Sima Wei was a ruthless man, he didn't even have the courage to back it up; he was just a hothead. As the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, he dared to kill two regents just because Jia Nanfeng issued a forged edict.

Politically, he was used as a pawn by Jia Nanfeng, which led to his own death. Before he died, he took out the unsigned imperial edict and cried to the executioner, which made people laugh in anger.

Militarily, he was practically useless, despite being the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards.

All things considered, it would have been better if he had been even more ruthless and simply stormed into the palace and killed Jia Nanfeng (although the Imperial Guards wouldn't have listened to him anyway).

Although Zhao Wang Sima Lun only took action after Jia Nanfeng killed the crown prince (mainly because he was a member of the empress's faction), his courage to act when Jia Nanfeng was at the height of her power, coupled with his later audacity to usurp the throne, shows considerable boldness.

However, he relied almost entirely on his strategist Sun Xiu, who was truly brilliant. After Sima Lun ascended to power, he bestowed numerous official titles, creating the idiom "adding a dog's tail to a sable coat," and his political maneuvering was somewhat immature.

Militarily, he initially instigated rebellions by the Qiang and Di peoples in Guanzhong, which he was powerless to stop. Later, he was almost killed by Sima Yun. His success was entirely due to his scheming and intrigue (Sun Xiu).

In summary, the fact that they only took action after the Crown Prince's death led to the lifting of the seal on the Sima princes, and they had no way to deal with the collapse of the situation.

Qi King Sima Jiong, as the initiator of the campaign against Sima Lun, made commendable moves in his early years, such as killing Wang Chumu to shift the blame and issuing proclamations to the other kings.

However, his performance after taking power was terrible; he only cared about enjoying himself. As can be seen from Sima Yi's later defying fate, he had already infiltrated the court and the imperial guards under his rule.

He was first defeated by Sima Lun, and only after Sima Ying achieved victory did he come out to reap the rewards.

Overall, he performed well in the early stages, but his performance became extremely poor after taking office.

Sima Ying, the Prince of Chengdu, was the strongest on paper among the eight princes, but he was hesitant and timid in his actions. In the early stages, he faced Sima Lun, and later he faced Sima Yue. He wanted to run away whenever the situation was slightly unfavorable, but overall he listened to his subordinates' advice and managed to seize the window of opportunity.

His mistake was not staying in Luoyang but returning to Ye City. Moreover, his remote command from Ye City was a complete mess. Even in the early stages, he was basically led by the nose by Sima Yong.

However, they did manage to win two battles, although it was largely due to their subordinates, such as Zhao Xiang and Shi Chao, who were quite capable generals. Overall, despite their strength, they couldn't emerge victorious, making them a low-level player.

Sima Yong, the cunning and scheming prince, was a master manipulator who stirred up trouble from behind the scenes (mainly due to his own background as the grandson of Sima Fu). In the end, he was at a loss when facing Sima Yue, and killing Zhang Xiang to submit to him was a major blunder.

It can be said that if he hadn't been constantly stirring things up, the War of the Eight Princes could have ended with Sima Jiong and Sima Yi. He was the biggest mastermind behind the War of the Eight Princes.

Moreover, the Guanzhong soldiers under his command were no pushovers; they were no shortage of elite troops and capable generals, but military affairs were not his forte, preventing him from fully utilizing his operational abilities.

In summary, Sima Yong rose to prominence during the War of the Eight Princes entirely through his own skills. The princes who appeared earlier in the court were all descendants of Sima Yi, meaning they all had some degree of succession rights. Sima Yong was a descendant of Sima Fu, yet he still managed to make a name for himself in this way.

The most ruthless of them all was Sima Yi, the Prince of Changsha. Not only was he brave enough to fight, but he was also a skilled fighter. When faced with Sima Yong's scheme to use someone else to kill him (so that Sima Jiong could gain legitimacy to raise an army after killing Sima Yi), he didn't hesitate to fight back. This truly allowed him to defy fate and transform himself from a pawn into a player.

However, despite his toughness, he lacked political wisdom and strategy, and was ultimately outmaneuvered by Sima Yue when he almost defied fate again.

It's a bit of a pity considering his overall abilities. He was the most capable member of the younger generation of the Sima family. Only he could save the family from collapse and turn the tide, repeatedly winning against stronger opponents and almost turning the tide in the end.

Finally, there's Emperor Hui of Jin, the most memorable figure from the War of the Eight Princes, who famously asked "Why don't they eat meat porridge?" and his infamous empress Jia Nanfeng.

Jia Nanfeng was the daughter of Jia Chong, a meritorious official in the founding of the Western Jin Dynasty. She was extremely ugly, vicious by nature, and power-hungry. Because of her father, she was able to marry the foolish Crown Prince Sima Zhong.

She was cruel by nature and had killed several people with her own hands. At the age of fifteen, she married Crown Prince Sima Zhong. After Hou was made Crown Princess, she used a sharp halberd to kill the unborn child in the womb of a pregnant concubine.

After Emperor Hui of Jin, Sima Zhong, ascended the throne, Jia Nanfeng was made empress. Emperor Hui was foolish and stupid, and Grand Tutor Yang Jun seized power, forming factions and eliminating dissidents, which caused "resentment within the royal family and indignation throughout the land."

Subsequently, Jia Nanfeng launched a coup, executed the powerful minister Yang Jun, and then "ruled the world with absolute power, subduing both the inside and outside."

In the beginning, Jia Nanfeng knew how to recognize and appoint capable people. She employed Zhang Hua, Pei Wei, and others, so "the country was at peace" and "the court and the countryside were quiet".

However, Jia Nanfeng later harbored the idea of ​​deposing the crown prince. She plotted to frame Crown Prince Sima Yu and then deposed him in the name of Emperor Hui of Jin, which completely disrupted the situation in the country.

The political situation in the Western Jin Dynasty became increasingly chaotic and completely out of control. At the same time, ethnic minorities in the surrounding areas rose up in rebellion, and the Central Plains entered its most turbulent period.

"Ding! The third person in the balance, a folk myth - the Sun Candle of the Two Saints of Yin and Yang, with a command 69, strength 109 (strong), intelligence 78, and politics 82."

Characters included: Taiyin Youying

Implanted Identity: Besides Donghuang Taiyi, who possesses the pinnacle of Qi cultivation, the Yin-Yang School's strongest twins in the Qi realm. Together, they can briefly rival a Qi master. Currently, under the Yin-Yang School's arrangement, they have secretly traveled to the Great Sheng Dynasty to find an opportunity to deal with Donghuang Taiyi!

The system's cold notification sound was like a bucket of cold water poured over Su Ye's face. He had initially thought that the second one would be a failure in terms of balance quality, but his expression instantly darkened and his brows furrowed into a knot.
