Chapter 476: Long Qie and Zhangg Han
Chapter 476: Long Qie and Zhangg Han
It can only be said that Huang the Herbalist is truly extraordinary.
Combined with his martial arts reaching the Innate Realm, his energy is vigorous, and he handles various matters with ease.
Initially, perhaps due to being ’unfamiliar with the business,’ he was slower, but after guidance from Zhu Ziliu and others, he executed tasks effortlessly, incomparable to others.
This is what geniuses are like.
They cannot be judged by common sense!
Using an ordinary person’s perspective to gauge a genius? It’s unreasonable.
One must know that it’s remarkable for an ordinary person to master just one skill in a lifetime.
And how about Huang the Herbalist?
This does not account for the time spent traveling, visiting family, competing in martial arts, sleeping, etc.
Calling Huang the Herbalist a top-tier genius is definitely not an exaggeration.
Such a person in martial arts is among the Five Extremes.
In literature, he’s a Champion Scholar!
On the battlefield, he’s a Grand General; in court, he’s a Prime Minister!
Indeed, he can stabilize the world with a pen, and conquer Heaven and Earth from horseback!
With Huang Rong, Zhu Ziliu, and others safeguarding the rear, it was already quite stable. With this person joining, it became as stable as Mount Tai.
...
Ding Ling entrusted recruiting talent, gathering surrendered armies, stabilizing public sentiment, and other matters to Huang Rong, Huang the Herbalist, and others.
He continued his aggressive advance northward.
Charging ahead with unstoppable force!
No one could stand in his way.
Ding Ling, leading a team, captured city after city.
[Achievement Medal: Single-Handedly Conquered Ten Cities]
[Achievement Medal: Single-Handedly Conquered One Hundred Cities]
...
Achievements were attained one after another.
Besides the achievement medals for conquering cities,
there were also those for public welfare, gathering surrendered armies, defeating enemies, beheading generals, capturing passes, intimidating major figures in Mongolia, and others.
Altogether,
more were earned.
On this day,
Ding Ling’s northern advance reached a major city.
This was the Royal Capital of Mongolia!
Where the next Great Khan of Mongolia, Mengge, resided.
It was Mengge whom, in ’history,’ Yang Guo and the Little Dragon Girl killed sixteen years later.
The current Great Khan is Güyüg Borjigin. Originally, Güyüg wasn’t supposed to ascend for a few more years, but with the influx and support of players, along with Ding Ling’s brutal campaigns, the history of this world has already been disrupted.
Güyüg Borjigin prematurely became the Great Khan of Mongolia through the Kurultai Assembly.
And Mengge,
is the essential defensive line assigned by him to guard the Royal Capital, resisting Ding Ling’s invasion.
Ding Ling learned this from some players who defected and told Huang Rong.
Then Huang Rong informed Ding Ling.
Huang Rong and Huang the Herbalist, undeterred by convention, recruited anyone who met their selection criteria into their operational system.
This naturally included quite a number of players.
Just like how people in a country may vary in character. Players include good ones and bad ones, some who love traveling, some who are obsessed with the Martial Dao, and others who especially love being officials.
As long as they could swiftly assist in unifying Jiuzhou,
Ding Ling did not oppose the players’ inclusion and cooperation. Of course, due to various reasons, unless a player was exceptionally outstanding, it was difficult to reach the peak of the pyramid within Huang Rong’s system.
The peak positions are not numerous, reserved for truly top-notch talents, with Huang the Herbalist, Huang Rong, Zhu Ziliu, already occupying several seats. The arrival of Zhangg Han and Long Qie also took up two seats.
Zhangg Han is a renowned general from the Late Qin period. If it weren’t for Zhao Gao holding him back, or if he had met a truly wise ruler, his life would have been more glorious and splendid.
Long Qie is also a distinguished general from the Late Qin and early Han periods, with countless achievements, equally remarkable.
After ascending to the Divine Eagle World, the two had witnessed Ding Ling amidst three hundred thousand troops, galloping through them with ease, reaching a peak state of admiration and awe towards Ding Ling.
How often had they seen such a master?
They estimated that even if Xiang Yu came, he wouldn’t withstand Ding Ling’s palm!
A man who could subdue Xiang Yu with a flip of his palm!
Suddenly announced the recruitment of talent!
They naturally joined without hesitation! Subsequently, there was no doubt that they were always the first in battle due to their bravery and were noticed by Ding Ling. Upon inquiry, realizing they were renowned figures, he immediately placed them in extremely important Commander-in-Chief positions.
As of now,
due to capturing so many cities and gathering so many surrendered armies,
both had become Grand Generals commanding two hundred thousand troops!
Though they commanded surrendered armies, their tactics were exceptional, and they could still achieve merit through the use of these armies.
They and Ding Ling split their forces in three directions.
Ding Ling led a few thousand elite troops, targeting difficult targets such as the Northern Capital.
They led forces to capture other regions.
The northern lands are too vast.
If Ding Ling were to conquer it alone, it would take a long time! Having previously done this in the Three Kingdoms, Ding Ling naturally didn’t want to repeat it. Having people to help share the burden was indeed a great thing.
And to avoid missing famous generals,
Ding Ling specifically instructed Huang Rong on this matter, arranging for some players to assist in handling it. With players involved, the chances of missing historical figures or Plane experts dropped to zero.
As of now,
a substantial number of renowned Ascenders joined Ding Ling’s side, some out of admiration for Ding Ling, others for the Great Medicine, Cultivation Techniques, etc.
The world is bustling with people seeking benefits, and people pursue benefits in turmoil.
Ding Ling was clear about this,
and did not investigate further but left it to Huang Rong and Huang the Herbalist to handle.
...
"Ahead is the Royal Capital."
Hoduo, with a complicated expression, still respectfully addressed Ding Ling:
"Marshal, do you need me to shout a few words?"
Along the way,
Hoduo was responsible for shouting, mostly repeating these phrases: ’Even I, a Mongolian Prince, have surrendered to Marshal Ding Ling! Why are you still hesitating here?! Do you want to die?!’
’Kublai was struck dead by the Marshal with a single palm! Do you think you are stronger than Kublai?!’
’Mongolia is at the end of its rope, its day is over, and it’s about to fall! Why don’t you quickly surrender?!’
...
Hoduo’s shouts struck straight to the heart, just like the final straw that broke the camel’s back. Often, many people, seeing they couldn’t possibly win against Ding Ling, would follow the trend and surrender.
However, there were also some hard-headed individuals who cursed Hoduo, calling him a scourge of the nation, a traitor who turns traitor, and a treacherous betrayer!
Throughout his journey, Hoduo indeed heard a lot of such words, to the point where his face turned green.
The only consolation for him was that these stubborn individuals were all beaten to death while he was still alive!
Each time he thought of this, he became increasingly grateful for his choice.
Surrendering and submitting to Ding Ling,
was better than being killed.
He was still young, and he didn’t want to die!
Therefore, he was very proactive in his tasks, just like now, where he was ready to shout even before Ding Ling spoke.
Ding Ling shook his head and said:
"Forget it."
