Chapter 187

Gu Shanhe looked around the audience and added slowly, his voice not loud, but like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart,

"Unlike the previous Beauty List. This time, for the Strategist List, all those on the list—can receive Heavenly Dao rewards to reward their wisdom of managing heaven and earth, and their merit of settling the country!"

"Have rewards?!"

"Those on the list have Heavenly Dao rewards?!"

"God! This time it's real benefits!"

"I wonder what kind of rewards it will be? Longevity? Treasures? Or..."

The slight regret just now because of the "no reward" of the Beauty List was instantly replaced by a hundred-fold, thousand-fold fanatical expectation!

If the Beauty List is a spiritual feast, then this Strategist List is a real "rewarding merit"!

Who can be on the list? What are the rewards? Do oneself or the sages one admires have hope?

Countless thoughts surged wildly in the minds of thousands of viewers.

Ying Zheng's breathing also became heavier.

Strategist... reward... can anyone from his Great Qin be on the list?

If so, what kind of help will they get?

He looked at Gu Shanhe with burning eyes: "The National Master's great kindness, I and the world, wait and see!"

Gu Shanhe said no more, and under the gaze of countless burning eyes that were almost about to burn, he slowly stood up from the futon.

Still that moon-white robe, still that dusty temperament.

But at this moment, he no longer seemed to be a banished immortal telling stories of wind and flowers, but transformed into a supreme judge who holds the power of wisdom and evaluates the strategies of the ages.

He raised his right hand and lifted it virtually—the action was exactly the same as when he threw the Beauty List just now.

"Buzz—!"

Golden light exploded, a golden scroll, similar in shape to the previous one, but with a more condensed aura and faintly swirling dragon and tiger wind and cloud patterns, appeared out of thin air above his palm.

The moment the scroll appeared, an invisible pressure that made people's hearts palpitate permeated, as if countless sparks of wisdom and traces of strategy were flickering and dying around it.

"Go!"

Gu Shanhe shouted clearly and threw the golden Strategist List into the air!

The Golden List turned into a streamer, rushed into the sky, and in an instant rose to the same height as the previous Beauty List, unfolding with a bang!

"Clatter—!!"

Ten thousand golden lights, a thousand auspicious clouds!

A golden Heavenly Screen that seemed thicker and more vast than the previous Beauty List spanned over Xianyang, its light so strong that it suppressed the afternoon sun.

In the center of the Heavenly Screen were ten gilded characters that were sharp and seemed to be able to pierce the sky:

Heavenly Dao Golden List · History Top Ten Strategists List

Below the big characters was a slightly smaller annotation, but it made the viewers of the myriad worlds tremble:

【This count of the top ten strategists in history, those on the list can all receive Heavenly Dao blessings, rewarding their merits, making up for their regrets, and highlighting their wisdom!】

"Boom—!"

The real boiling began!

Not only the Xianyang drill ground of Great Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Ming, Qing...

All planes, all places where the Heavenly Screen could be seen, fell into unprecedented madness the moment this annotation appeared.

"Strategist List! A Strategist List with rewards!"

"Quick! Quick, call the military advisor/sir/prime minister/strategist to come and see!"

"I wonder which great sage of our dynasty can be on the list?"

"Heavenly Dao reward! What kind of divine object will it be?"

Imperial palaces of various dynasties, places where civil officials gathered, and even the grass huts of folk hermits, everyone put down everything in their hands and stared at the sky.

Especially those strategists who considered themselves to have superior wisdom or possessed great talent, their hearts were beating like drums, both expectant and nervous.

And those heroic emperors, their eyes flickered, hoping that the strategists under their command would be on the list to prove their names, and secretly worried about what kind of variables the rewards would trigger.

【History Top Ten Strategists List, now starting to announce!】

【Starting from the tenth place, revealed in turn!】

That magnificent, penetrating ancient heavenly voice sounded again, instantly suppressing all the noise.

【History Top Ten Strategists: Tenth Place—Fang Xuanling.】

【Era: Great Tang (Zhenguan)】

【Title: Fang's Planning and Du's Decision, Xiao He of Zhenguan】

The list appeared, and the light on the left condensed, no longer the boundless wind and moon or the vast desert, but a magnificent scroll of the prosperous court with orderly order.

The palace was magnificent, the officials stood in solemnity, a civil official in purple robes, with a clear and thin face and calm and wise eyes, was standing beside the imperial steps, holding a tablet, responding calmly.

His figure was not tall, but he had a calm demeanor of settling the world and managing the world.

Beside the scene, seal characters of "Planning in the tent to settle the nine provinces, institutions and articles passed down for thousands of years" appeared.

"Fang Xuanling? From the Great Tang?"

In the Xianyang field, many people whispered.

The Qin people were unfamiliar with this name, but hearing it was from the Great Tang, they prepared to continue watching.

The heavenly voice was slow, carrying a solemnity and sigh like telling a grand ceremony:

【Reason for being on the list: Fang Xuanling is not a ghost talent who calculates without missing, nor is he a tricky scholar who comes up with strange plans. He is a planner of the country, a founder, using a pen like a rafter as ink, using the ten-thousand-mile landscape as a scroll, outlining the most stable framework for the three-hundred-year foundation of the Great Tang, and writing the most brilliant preface.】

【First Act: Wise eyes to choose a wise master, choosing a true dragon in the chaotic world】

【The scene flows back to the chaotic smoke of the late Sui Dynasty.】

【Young Fang Xuanling in a green shirt, facing the recruitment documents from warlords coming one after another in the study, frowned.】

【He pushed away the invitations from Li Mi, Wang Shi Chong, and even Li Yuan's Crown Prince Jiancheng, but his eyes cast on a recruitment letter from Li Shimin, then the Prince of Qin, which was not the most gorgeous.】

The scene flashed his secret observation of Li Shimin's governing and managing the army, seeing his great talent and ability to listen to advice.

Finally, Fang Xuanling burned all other documents, only carried a set of cloth clothes, and resolutely stepped into the Prince of Qin's mansion.

【"The world is surging, it cannot be saved without the talent of the world. Xuanling observes the heroes, only the Prince of Qin can be entrusted!"】

The voice-over seemed to be his inner voice. Li Shimin got Fang Xuanling, like getting a treasure.

【"I got you, like Guangwu got Deng Yu!"】

【Second Act: Hulao set strategy, a throw of heaven and earth】

【The scene came to the front of Hulao Pass, where the killing spirit filled the wild.

Inside the Tang army camp, the atmosphere was heavy.

On the map, the two great bandits Wang Shi Chong of Luoyang and Dou Jiande of Hebei presented a pincer attack.

The generals argued in a group, and there were many who advocated retreating.

Li Shimin scanned the crowd, finally landing on the silent Fang Xuanling.

"Xuanling, what is the plan?"

Fang Xuanling stood up, his finger fell heavily on the position of Hulao Pass, his voice calm but firm:

"Wang Shi Chong's food is exhausted, and he will collapse if he defends; Dou Jiande has just won and is arrogant, although his crowd is fierce, it is actually a mob."

"I will divide the troops to defend Luoyang, and personally lead the elite to rush to Hulao, relying on the danger to frustrate their edge."

"If Dou Jiande retreats, Wang Shi Chong will break himself; if he fights, I can wait for work with ease and defeat him in one fell swoop! This is catching the thief and catching the king, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Divide the troops? The Prince of Qin personally goes to the dangerous place? Too risky!" A general objected.

"Precisely because it is dangerous, it is the only way to survive. If we sit and defend, the two bandits will merge, and our army will surely collapse!" Fang Xuanling's eyes were like torches.

Li Shimin slapped the table: "Good! Follow Fang Gong's plan!"

The scene then showed the Tang army elite rushing to Hulao, Li Shimin personally taking risks, and finally defeating Dou Jiande's brilliant battle.

【After this battle, the general trend of the Central Plains was set.】
