Through countless dynasties, I can summon the heroes of Chinese history.

[Ding dong, congratulations host, you have gained the loyalty of the local divine general Mu Yu and successfully started the system's main quest "Recruiting Talented Individuals";]

Recruiting Talents: When the host successfully recruits local Silver and Gold level commanders, martial arts, intelligence, politics, charm, and special talents, he will receive one attribute summoning card of the corresponding level. Each reward can be claimed up to three times. After claiming it three times, he can only receive the corresponding general-slaying summoning points.

When the host subdues local commanders of Iron and Bronze level, possessing superior strength, intelligence, politics, charisma, and corresponding special talents, they will receive corresponding Slaying Generals Summoning Points. There are no restrictions on the number of points that can be claimed for any of these attributes.

Today is truly a good day for Jiang Ce. Not only did he receive an army of over 20,000 men from Chen Yun, along with a god-level general, but he also gained another gold-level talent.

After all, according to the system, Mu Yu has already sworn allegiance to him, so he will naturally contribute a gold-level martial arts summoning card. As long as Jiang Ce summons a wave, he will naturally be able to summon a gold-level talent.

Moreover, judging from the system's achievement description, this achievement is not yet complete. As long as you are a Silver or Gold level character, you will have three chances to claim it.

However, looking at the situation in the hall, although the gold-level generals can only receive Mu Yu this time, there should be quite a few silver-level generals, who can receive them all at once this time.

Even if you're unlucky and summon the weakest person, they're still a golden talent, someone who stands at the very top of the world!

Now is the time to prepare for battle!

With the addition of these generals and troops, Jiang Ce naturally had to recapture Laiyang County with his left hand. At this time, these summoning cards arrived just in time, allowing him to replenish his army through the war. Everything seemed to be going smoothly.

[Ding dong, Mu Yu's peak martial power has reached the level of a god general, therefore the host is rewarded with a golden martial power summoning card;]

Mu Yu's current five-dimensional attributes are: Command 93, Strength 105, Intelligence 75, Politics 68, and Charisma 82.

[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining the loyalty of the local talent Mu Xiong. Mu Xiong has been detected as a Heaven-level talent, so the host is rewarded with a Silver Martial Force Summoning Card.]

Mu Xiong's current five-dimensional attributes are: Command 93, Strength 104, Intelligence 72, Politics 65, and Charisma 84.

[Ding dong, congratulations host, you have gained the loyalty of local talent Chen An. Chen An has been detected as a Heaven-level martial arts talent, therefore, you are rewarded with one Silver Martial Arts Summoning Card;]

[Ding dong, congratulations host, you have gained the loyalty of local talent Sun Hanchuan. Sun Hanchuan has been detected as a Heaven-level martial arts talent, therefore, you are rewarded with one Silver Martial Arts Summoning Card;]

Sun Hanchuan and Chen An were people Jiang Ce had already recruited before, but perhaps because he hadn't recruited a top talent, this main quest couldn't be started.

Now, with Mu Yu's allegiance, this main quest seems to have found its key and was instantly activated by the system, bringing Jiang Ce a lot of resources.

[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining the loyalty of local talent Liu Zhi. Liu Zhi has been detected as a Heaven-level talent, so the host is rewarded with a Silver Intelligence Summoning Card.]

Liu Zhi's current five-dimensional attributes are: Command 89, Strength 80, Intelligence 95, Politics 92, and Charisma 88.

This Liu Zhi was none other than the former military advisor of Laizhou. He was not only resourceful but also a capable leader, more than qualified to govern a region.

Unfortunately, among the group that came this time, only Liu Zhi had reached the Silver rank; the rest were basically at the Bronze rank.

As for Chen Yun, since he and Chen Qingzhi have merged into one, he is now a system character and is naturally 100% loyal, as are the people he brings with him.

[Ding dong, according to the detection, in addition to the four people mentioned above, the host has recruited a total of two local Heaven-level generals, twelve super-first-class generals, and twenty-six first-class generals, and has obtained a total of 560 summoning points.]

The host currently possesses: two random summon cards, one gold summon card, one gold martial arts summon card, three silver martial arts summon cards, one silver intelligence summon card, and 1951 summon points.

…………

Just as everyone was in the governor's mansion hall, toasting and chatting about the future, a rough shout suddenly came from outside the south gate of the city, mixed with a few clapper sounds, breaking the lingering merriment.

The soldiers guarding the city gate, who had just changed shifts, immediately brandished their spears and shouted upon hearing the noise: "Trying to break into the city at night, give me your name!"

As soon as the sentry finished speaking, a group of about forty or fifty people emerged from the darkness. Each of them carried a short knife at their waist and a hunting bow on their shoulder. Although they were dressed in coarse cloth short jackets, they exuded the fierceness of mountain bandits.

The leader was a man in his thirties, tall and straight, with a touch of heroism in his eyes and brows. He also had a tiger-head waist tag hanging from his waist, which gleamed in the torchlight.

"Please inform His Highness the Prince of Laiyang."

The young man's voice was as clear as the moon. He cupped his hands and addressed the sentry, saying loudly, "Liu Hong, the leader of the Iron Plate Mountain rebels, is the son of Liu Ting, the former General of Andong. Hearing that the Prince of Laiyang intends to recapture Laizhou, he has led his troops down the mountain to assist Your Highness!"

Upon hearing this, the city gate tower fell silent for a moment.

General Liu Ting, as the General of Peace and Winter, was stationed in Laizhou and Haizhou, but he died in battle against the Eastern Yi two years ago.

It was precisely because of his death in battle that the imperial court gradually abandoned Laizhou, eventually leading to its current state.

The Liu family was known for its loyalty and bravery, but no one expected that his son would become an outlaw in Panshan and become a local chieftain.

At that moment, Jiang Ce was drinking and making merry with others in the hall when he heard the scout's report. He immediately stood up and said, "Open the city gates quickly!"

With Jiang Ce's command, the city gate creaked open, and Liu Hong strode in. Behind him, his brothers carried several sacks of grain and a dozen or so gleaming spears, which they placed on the ground with a heavy thud.

At this moment, Liu Hong walked up to Jiang Ce, knelt on one knee, and said in a firm voice, "This humble general is Liu Hong. My father died for his country, and I have been stranded on Iron Plate Mountain. I can only gather righteous men to protect myself!"

"I thought I would never have the chance to serve my country again, but I never expected to hear that Your Highness has gathered troops in Laiyang and is determined to recover the lost territory of Laizhou. I, Liu Hong, have come here to lead my brothers to surrender, willing to be Your Highness's vanguard and to wipe out the Eastern Barbarians of Laizhou, to comfort the spirits of my father and the fallen warriors!"

As Liu Hong knelt on one knee, his brothers from Tiepan Mountain behind him also knelt down in unison, their roars shaking the ground: "We are willing to follow Your Highness and together annihilate the barbarians!"

Jiang Ce immediately bent down to help Liu Hong up, his gaze falling on the tiger-head waist token, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.

General Liu Ting's loyalty and bravery are known throughout the land. Now that his son has brought his righteous army to join him, it is undoubtedly a timely help.
