Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

"Jiang Bofu... resigned his post at the age of eighty-nine..."

You whispered, the name not unfamiliar.

[In the previous simulation, if it weren't for his presence, Yin Qian's grand plan to seize the Mandate of Heaven would likely have failed.]

[When he encountered Han Jing leading a large army to quell the rebellion, he died before his great undertaking was even halfway complete.]

At that time, Yin Qian led the military might of the Western Regions' alliance of a hundred kingdoms, and had been secretly infiltrating and eroding Yongzhou for many years.

They easily captured Yumen Pass, the formidable western pass of Dacang.

[Then, pressing forward with unstoppable momentum, they occupied Yongzhou and continued their advance towards Qingzhou, their advance seemingly unstoppable, conquering cities and seizing territory.]

【Then……】

[Han Jing led the imperial guards of Da Cang Zhongting to quell the rebellion, winning ten battles in a row, and was quickly driven back to Yongzhou.]

Only when Jiang Bofu resigns from his post can he contend with Han Jing.

[About twenty years later.]

Pang Hai, Chen Chao, and Xiang Che have all established their own states, while Yin Qian is still stuck in Yongzhou.

[He looks utterly disheveled.]

But you shouldn't underestimate this person because of that.

You are well aware of Han Jing's abilities; you befriended him during the last simulation.

Whether it's individual combat prowess or battlefield command.

Both are considered the pinnacle of human achievement.

Its principles are grand and majestic, encompassing vast and complex situations.

[There were almost no underhanded schemes or clever maneuvers.]

[But it inflicts a fate that people are powerless to resist, retreating inch by inch, with only collapse and destruction as the inevitable end.]

A skilled warrior achieves victory without seeking glory.

[Because every single one of his battles, if placed before many fierce generals and renowned coaches, would be a classic battle remembered for a lifetime.]

But for him, it was simply the norm.

[This includes Wei Qi's assessment of him.]

[We have yet to see Han Jing in a situation where he is at a disadvantage on the battlefield.]

[We have no idea where his limits are.]

Because no one can force him to go all out, to be in a do-or-die, life-or-death state.

[Jiang Bofu was able to resist Han Jing's rebellion when he resigned his post and went to war.]

This alone is enough to prove his strategic acumen and mastery.

Moreover, although they were stuck in Yongzhou for over twenty years, to put it another way...

[It could also be said that they withstood Han Jing's military might for over twenty years without being defeated.]

This ability is unmatched by anyone in the world.

[It seems there are only a handful of people like Pang Hai, Xu Hui, Wei Qi, Xiang Che, and Yue Fei, who established a stronghold in the southern frontier.]

Furthermore, Pang Hai and Xu Hui possess a pre-written destiny script, granting them the opportunity to obtain the Tomb of the God of War.

Xiang Che also possesses an unparalleled "Overlord Body" and the enhancement of his status by the Sword of Destiny.

Wei Qi has now also obtained the opportunity presented by the tomb of the God of War.

You can't help but imagine what kind of recognition and inheritance Han Jing would receive if he entered the Tomb of the God of War.

[And then there's Yue Mu, who stands guard over the southern frontier.]

[Through several simulations, during those turbulent years, he remained remarkably low-key.]

[He only led elite troops on the southern border to quell the rebellion of Xiang Che on one occasion.]

Moreover, the situation was short-lived; as the situation in southern Xinjiang changed, they immediately dispatched troops back to suppress the rebellion.

For the next several decades, he worked diligently and conscientiously, guarding the southern frontier.

[Like a towering wall, it is even more majestic than the million-strong mountains of southern Xinjiang.]

[This thwarted the attempt by the foreign tribes of southern Xinjiang to take advantage of the chaos to invade.]

Low-key, unassuming, and diligent.

[This is the character profile you constructed based on fragmented information.]

[And behind this simple and unassuming portrait...]

A dark shadow, obscuring the sky, is faintly visible; it is a massive mountain that cuts across the heavens.

[A wall stands firm in the southern borderlands.]

[In this simulation, because you arranged for Wei Qi to enter the Tomb of the God of War, he fully realized his own limitations, leading him to lead his troops westward and unleash a massacre.]

This completely disrupted the plans for the Western Regions.

[This allowed Jiang Bofu to take up his post and set off for the expedition several years earlier than the previous simulated trajectory.]

Because it has come to a point of life and death.

If Wei Qi isn't stopped soon, the hundred kingdoms of the Western Regions will truly be slaughtered by him, leaving rivers of blood and fields strewn with corpses.

"Perfect, let Wei Qi test this 89-year-old retired general. Hopefully, he won't go too far and bully the old man..."

Your tone was teasing, but your eyes were calm and cold.

Jiang Bofu will be Wei Qi's greatest test.

At this moment, Wei Qi's prowess is too great, and his military might too fierce.

If one can keep killing, one will naturally forge an unstoppable killing momentum.

However, what if one encounters difficulties or even setbacks?

[Having their advance blocked and their momentum diminished will be a tremendous blow.]

[Pang Hai's simulation this time was overly bold, but his keen sense of military strategy immediately revealed the meaning behind your words and expression.]

[After a hearty laugh, his expression turned serious.]

The tone conveyed a sense of boldness and unwavering trust.

"Although Wei Qi came from a noble family and sometimes liked to feign composure, he was not the type to be easily defeated and give up."

"If Jiang Bofu truly possesses mysterious methods, he could have thwarted Wei Qi's plans."

"Then he will definitely not choose to retreat in defeat."

Instead, it will…

"Fight for your life!"

You glanced sideways at Pang Hai, your gaze settling on his imposing face.

[His expression was solemn and dignified.]

Pang Hai and Wei Qi fought side by side for several years.

The understanding we have of each other is much deeper than what you gained from the last simulation.

Therefore, you trust Pang Hai's judgment.

[As we talk, you have arrived at Jintang City, or perhaps more accurately, the power, military, and political heart of Yongzhou.]

The architectural style is similar to that of Jintang City.

[The color scheme is somber and dark.]

[Magnificent and grand, solemn and dignified.]

Surrounded by hot springs and flanked by pristine white snow, the collision of hot water and icy snow creates a misty, ethereal atmosphere.

[It softens the solemnity and adds a touch of comfort and leisure.]

You admire the surrounding scenery and architectural style while conversing with Pang Hai.

Suddenly, something occurred to me.

[In the previous discussion regarding the assessment of the situation and Wei Qi's analysis, there should have been someone who was deeply involved.]

[Offering unique insights.]

You stop and turn your head, seeing Xu Hui, his figure swaying and transparent, holding a black cat, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

It's not that he lost control again, causing people to forget about him.

Rather, it's his current state that makes him so unassuming, almost invisible.

In addition, Xu Hui has a cool and aloof personality and is not the type to forcefully interrupt conversations.

Therefore, along the way.

[You and Pang Hai took turns saying a few words, going back and forth, making it impossible for him to find a suitable opportunity to speak.]

He wasn't usually so low-key.

[This allows him to draw attention to himself, then strike a pose before calmly and deliberately speaking.]

Now, if he doesn't interrupt, he truly has no chance to speak.

Pang Hai was already used to this.

[After scratching his head and laughing heartily.]

"Let's go, big brother. Sister Zuo has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time."

Xu Kun, held in Xu Hui's arms, heard Zuo Shi's poem.

[His previously languid posture suddenly changed, and he raised his head.]

【sister in law?】
