Chapter 281 Selected Military Officers

Li Qian checked the prop introduction of the Any Third-Rate Recruitment Order.

【Name】:Choose any three-rate recruitment order
[Type]: Consumables
[Effect]: After use, select any one of the ten third-rate civil and military officials given by the system.

“So this is what optional means.”

Li Qian read the prop introduction and understood the purpose of the Any Three-Rate Recruitment Order.

Players can choose one out of ten, and the value of any third-rate recruitment order is slightly higher than that of an ordinary third-rate recruitment order.

"Ding, you used the Any Three-Rate Recruitment Order, and we are randomly selecting ten civil officials and military generals as candidates for you."

"The first civil official and military general was Zhao Kuo, a famous general of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period."

"..."

Li Qian was stunned.

Isn’t this the protagonist of Armchair Talk?
It’s a pity that Li Qian couldn’t see Zhao Kuo’s attributes, so he really didn’t dare to choose him.

If Zhao Kuo's abilities in each aspect are only 50 or 60, then this recruitment order would be wasted.

Let’s wait and see who will be the next nine civil and military officials.

"The second candidate for civil and military official is Feng Tang, a minister of the Western Han Dynasty."

Feng Tang.

This person is a celebrity.

Feng Tang Yi Lao, Li Guang difficult to seal.

Although Feng Tang is famous, his story is little known.

Feng Tang persuaded Emperor Wen of Han to pardon Wei Shang, the governor of Yunzhong, and to resist the Xiongnu. As a result, Feng Tang was appointed as the commander of the chariots and cavalry by Emperor Wen of Han. During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, Feng Tang served as the prime minister of the State of Chu, but was dismissed soon after. When Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, he sought virtuous and capable people, and everyone recommended Feng Tang. Feng Tang was already over 90 years old, too old to be an official any more.

Feng Tang became famous because of his untimely birth, but it is hard to say how strong Feng Tang's actual abilities are.

"The third civil official and military officer is the Prime Minister of the Red Eyebrow Army, Xu Xuan."

Xu Xuan was originally a jailer in the county government. He started an uprising in the late Western Han Dynasty and joined Fan Chong. They jointly elected Fan Chong as their leader and called themselves the "Red Eyebrow Army". Because Xu Xuan could read and write and had studied the Book of Changes, he was elected as prime minister by the Red Eyebrow Army.

This Xu Xuan should be a third-rate strategist.

Li Qian was not in a hurry to make a choice and continued to look at the candidates for civil and military officials who would appear later.

"The fourth candidate for civil and military official is Shi Chong, a minister of the Western Jin Dynasty."

Shi Chong, the son of the famous general Shi Bao, robbed traveling merchants and obtained huge amounts of property when he was the governor of Jingzhou, becoming rich enough to rival a country.

According to Shishuo Xinyu, Shi Chong once competed with Wang Kai, the uncle of Jin Wudi, a noble relative. Jin Wudi secretly helped Wang Kai and gave him a coral tree about two feet high, with luxuriant branches and leaves, which was rare in the world. After seeing it, Shi Chong smashed the coral tree with an iron ruyi. Wang Kai felt very sorry and thought that Shi Chong was jealous of his treasure, so he was about to get angry. Shi Chong ordered his men to take out all the coral trees in his home. These coral trees were three feet or four feet high, with trunks and branches that were unparalleled in the world, and dazzling. There were many more like Wang Kai's, and Wang Kai was lost.

"Is this person's character good or not?"

Li Qian held his forehead with a headache, Shi Chong could be ruled out.

"The fifth candidate for civil official and military officer is Li Chong, a military officer of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

"The sixth candidate for civil official and military officer is Wei Boyu, a military officer from the Tang Dynasty."

"The seventh civil official and military officer is He Delun, a military officer of the Later Liang Dynasty."

"The eighth candidate for civil and military official is Yang Wanli, a minister of the Southern Song Dynasty."

"The ninth civil official and military officer is Li Jinglong, a general of the Ming Dynasty." "The tenth civil official and military officer is Qian Qianyi, a minister of the Ming Dynasty."

The system ranked ten candidates as civil and military officials, each of whom was more or less famous in history. There were military generals, strategists, civil officials, and poets.

"Shi Chong, Qian Qianyi, Li Jinglong and others can be ruled out. As for the remaining candidates..." Li Qian took a deep breath and made a decision, "I choose Wei Boyu, a general of the Tang Dynasty."

After much hesitation, Li Qian chose the Tang Dynasty general Wei Boyu.

One of the important reasons is that Wei Boyu was a general of the Anxi Army.

Wei Boyu, when he was young, liked to practice martial arts and had great strength. Later, he joined the Anxi Army and made many military achievements. During the An-Shi Rebellion, Wei Boyu was furious and returned to Chang'an from Anxi. He was appointed as the military commander of the Shen Ce Army. In 759, Wei Boyu defeated the 761 cavalry of Li Guiren, a general under Shi Siming, with hundreds of cavalry. In , after Shi Siming defeated Li Guangbi and led his army to invade Shanzhou, Wei Boyu repeatedly defeated the vanguard Shi Chaoyi and prevented the rebels from attacking Chang'an, which led to Shi Chaoyi being punished by Shi Siming. The father and son quarreled and Shi Siming was killed by Shi Chaoyi.

In Li Qian's opinion, Wei Boyu was not just a third-rate general; it would not be an exaggeration to call him a second-rate general.

However, there are relatively few records about Wei Boyu and he was not well-known, so he was rated as a third-rate general.

By this calculation, Li Qian had found a bargain.

Li Qian chose Wei Boyu for another purpose.

At present, Li Qian has recruited five generals with Anxi Army background, namely Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, Geshu Han, Li Siye and Tian Zhen. By recruiting Wei Boyu, he can gather six Anxi Army generals. He is only two Anxi Army generals away from completing the A-level achievement "Anxi Protectorate".

"Ding, you chose the Tang Dynasty general Wei Boyu. Wei Boyu pledges allegiance to you. His initial loyalty is 99."

A fierce general with a broad back, strong arms, wearing mountain armor and holding a Mo Dao was summoned.

"I, Wei Boyu, am willing to die for my lord. If you have any orders, I will do it without hesitation, even if it means going through fire and water!"

Wei Boyu's tone was deep and majestic, as if he was not afraid even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead.

Li Qian always felt that he had gotten a good deal, and when he opened Wei Boyu's character panel, it was indeed true.

……

Wei Boyu was just as Li Qian had guessed. He was not a simple third-rate general. His ability was no less than that of an ordinary second-rate general.

It's a bargain.

Li Qian assigned Wei Boyu to the Anxi Corps of Gao Xianzhi and Geshu Han, which had six generals. Now, only two generals were missing.
