Chapter 718: The Strategist and the Bandit-Slayer Zhuge Liang (Introduction chapter, you can skip it!)
"Ding! The God-level Random Summoning Card is being used. The system will give a list of five characters. Please remove two and randomly summon one of the remaining three."

"Summoning, host, please wait a moment"

"Ding! The first person randomly summoned with god-level attributes is Chen Zhen, a strategist in the Warring States Period, with an intelligence of 96."

Chen Zhen, the man of diplomacy!

He was active as a diplomat during the Warring States Period and played an important role in political and military struggles on many occasions.

According to the "Strategies of the Warring States", Chen Zhen told as many as seven fables during his lobbying, the most among all the strategists at that time. They included "Loyalty yet Forsaken", "A Man from Chu Has Two Wives", "Song of the People of Yue", "Bian Zhuang Stabbing a Tiger", "Drawing Legs on a Snake", "The Deer and the Hunter", and "Saving People in the Same Boat".

There are also many idioms that come from Chen Zhen, such as "Adding Feet to a Snake" and "Bian Zhuang Stabbing a Tiger".

These fables successfully helped Chen Zhen persuade the king, so that his "strategies would be successful, his plans would be successful, and they would not lose their correctness."

And this practice of creating stories while lobbying was also a distinctive feature of novelists at the time.

In his early years, Chen Zhen served as an official in the State of Qin. Later, because he failed to compete for favor with Zhang Yi, he left Qin and went to work in the State of Chu.

During his time in Chu, he helped Gongsun Yan be promoted to Prime Minister of Wei, facilitated the Five Kingdoms' attack on Qin, used delaying tactics to resolve the crisis of Qin and Han attacking Chu, advised King Huai of Chu not to fall for Zhang Yi's plan to alienate Qi and Chu, and persuaded King Huai of Chu to stand idly by in the Battle of Yiyang.

In the 15th year of King Huiwen of Qin, when Chen Zhen was sent as an envoy to Qi State, he persuaded the Chu general Zhaoyang to withdraw his troops on behalf of Qi State.

Diplomacy and war are both continuations of politics, with different methods but the same purpose.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, on the battlefield there were gods of war like Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, who charged into battle for the country, and on the diplomatic stage, a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder, there were strategists who used their wisdom to fight for the interests of the country.

There are not so many ways to turn hostility into friendship. It is just the result of the great strategists racking their brains and talking their heads off.

When talking about the great strategists, don't just think of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, because in that era of great contention in the world, they were not the only two!
"Ding! The god-level attribute randomly summons the second person, the bandit-slaying heroine Zhuge - Liu Hui Niang, intelligence 97."

"Going Out of Marsh" has been receiving mixed reviews since its release, mainly because the 108 Liangshan heroes, the main characters in "Water Margin", were all killed, and the setting of the heavenly and earthly demons coming to the mortal world was also deprived.

It would be fine if it was to break feudal superstition (in fact, many people do not agree to classify mythological plots as feudal superstition), but Yu Wanchun suddenly set the characters he created as the 36 gods of the Thunder Department who were incarnated into the world, which is a bit hypocritical.

Returning to the content itself, except for a few people like Wang Jin, Li Cheng, Wen Da, etc., most of the characters in the book are original. They are all heroes and good men. They brought great disaster to Liangshan. Among them, the ten "heavenly generals" are the nightmare of Liangshan.

In the Brahma Qi Lei Palace, the innate lightning mother Xiu Yuanjun, who drives away thunder and lightning, illuminates the courage, pursues demons, and investigates corruption, is born. This is a deity with a very long name.

I don't know much about Taoist classics, so I'm not sure whether there really is such a great god in the Department of Thunder. Anyway, I feel that Yu Wanchun is quite concerned about this aspect, although he is quite long-winded.

Liu Hui Niang was extremely beautiful, but she was frail and sickly, which made her look even more delicate and pitiful.

In addition, she is resourceful and is known as the "female Zhuge Liang", so she can truly be said to be "more intelligent than Bi Gan and three times more sick than Xi Shi".

Although Liu Hui Niang never killed a Liangshan leader, she played a great role in suppressing Liangshan. She was excellent in all aspects except martial arts. The book describes her like this:
He was born with a keen eye that could distinguish the smallest details at night and recognize people within two or three hundred miles when climbing mountains during the day.

She was very clever and could make tools that no one else could make. She could make clocks and wooden oxen and horses, which were all simple and common.

All the history in books will never be forgotten once you have read them.

When she was sixteen, an old nun wanted to take her as her disciple, but her parents refused. Suddenly one day she disappeared.

After searching everywhere for the child, there was no trace of him, and the couple cried bitterly.

Half a year later, she suddenly came back and said that the old nun took her to an ancient cave in the mountains and taught her all the strategies of war, battle formations, Qimen Dunjia, Taiyi Liuren, and she learned them all in half a year. From then on, she became smarter and smarter. Everyone called her "Female Zhuge".

Military strategies, commanding troops to defend against the enemy, strategic planning... it seems like there is nothing that Liu Hui Niang doesn't know. She has crushed Wu Yong in battles of wits many times, and in military terms she has repeatedly defeated the Liangshan army with her strategies, ultimately helping the government army to successfully annihilate the Liangshan forces.

"Ding! God-level attributes randomly summon a third person, the Prime Minister of Shu Han - Zhuge Liang, Command 100."

Wow! The funds are out!
Su Ye seemed to see a dazzling golden light suddenly flash out from the summoning interface!

I just said that I am the child of destiny!

Any summoning card with god-level attributes can bring out this sleeping dragon.

A perfect hexagonal boss with no shortcomings, the talent that all monarchs dream of!

He is capable of governing a country, fighting wars, and being loyal. Even if he dies early, he can still take care of his children.

With such a prime minister, the monarch could even just quit his job!

Zhuge Liang's ability is indeed very strong, there is no need to doubt this, and it should not be discredited. Especially his statement "devote all my life to the cause and die for it" is an undeniable manifestation of his noble character.

He proposed the "Longzhong Plan" to Liu Bei, suggesting occupying Jingzhou and Yizhou and joining forces with Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao.

Based on Zhuge Liang's strategy, Liu Bei successfully occupied Jingzhou and Yizhou, forming a three-way confrontation.

After Liu Bei's death, he loyally assisted the later emperor Liu Chan in governing Shu Han. He worked hard to govern the country, appointed people based on their merits, clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments, paid attention to economic development, and properly resolved ethnic conflicts. He was supported by people of all ethnic groups in Shu.

He implemented the policy of farming and strengthened military preparations. He launched five northern expeditions to the Central Plains, but failed to achieve the goal of restoring the Han Dynasty. He was diligent and cautious, personally handled all political affairs, and was strict in rewards and punishments. He formed an alliance with the Eastern Wu and improved relations with the various ethnic groups in the southwest.

When it comes to Zhuge Liang, people who have read Romance of the Three Kingdoms will be excited. He is simply a god-like man who knows astronomy and geography, can deploy troops and have long-term vision.

He assisted Liu Bei and carved out a kingdom with only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. He assisted Liu Bei in taking Jingzhou and conquering Yizhou, and forming a three-way empire with Cao Wei and Sun Wu. He was considered the most powerful military advisor at that time.

After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang still did not forget his mission of restoring the Han Dynasty. He launched five northern expeditions and eventually died of illness in the army at Wuzhangyuan. He devoted his life to the cause and died at the age of 54. He was posthumously named Marquis of Loyalty and Martial Arts. He is a representative of loyal ministers and wise men in traditional Chinese culture.

"Ding! The god-level attribute randomly summons the fourth person, the beauty on earth - Qin Liangyu."
