Chapter 176: with translation of chapter title

Ding! Summon first person, Yang Ye, Lord of Northern Song, Commander-in-Chief 97, Martial Power 99, Intelligence 87, Politics 76.

In Northern Song drama, the ancestor of the Yang Family Generals.

Lord Yang!

He once followed Liu Chong, the founding emperor of Northern Han, and became renowned far and wide for his bravery.

After multiple promotions, he became the military governor of Jiongxiong Army, repeatedly earning military merit, always victorious; the people gave him the nickname 'Invincible'.

In the war where the Northern Song destroyed Northern Han, Yang Ye defected to the Song and was highly valued by Emperor Taizong of Song.

He once smashed the Liao army at Yumen Pass, shocking the Khitan.

Of course, Yang Ye's own abilities are outstanding, needless to say.

What is most admirable is the loyal and heroic Yang Family Generals behind him.

Even the female generals among them are all heroic women of the inner chambers.

Furthermore, adding the next generation's 'Seven Langs and Eight Tigers'.

Among them, seven are blood brothers and one is an sworn brother: Eldest Lang Yang Yanping, Second Lang Yang Yanding, Third Lang Yang Yanguang, Fourth Lang Yang Yahui, Fifth Lang Yang Yande, Sixth Lang Yang Yanzhao, Seventh Lang Yang Yansi, Eighth Lang Yang Yanshun (adopted son).

One could say, summoning this Lord Yang.

Most likely, it's summoning a Yang Family Generals gift pack.

Ding! Summon second person, Empress Wende Changsun Wugou, Commander-in-Chief 40, Martial Power 32, Intelligence 91, Politics 94, Charm 103.

The most acclaimed empress of the Tang Dynasty—Changsun Wugou, the white moonlight in Li Shimin's heart.

In that era, the woman worthy of being called a peony was none other than Empress Changsun Wugou, the hair‑tying wife of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin.

She married into the Li family at thirteen, and after enduring hardships and trials, she steadily held the throne of Tang empress.

Possessing both civility and virtue, she protected the family and pacified the state.

From childhood, Changsun Wugou was widely learned and strong‑willed, knowledgeable and principled.

A diviner once said of her, 'The earth bears all things, her virtue is boundless, her nobility ineffable'; she would later become 'one who assists the harmonious order of heaven and earth and guides the people.'

She always prioritized the big picture and handled affairs rationally.

This rationality was evident not only in her treatment of relatives by marriage, but also in her attitude toward the court's pivotal ministers.

She firmly believed in the abilities of the strategists and wise scholars serving Emperor Taizong, and constantly urged him to treat worthy officials well.

One could say, she fulfilled the duty of a virtuous wife to the utmost.

Ding! Summon third person, Beast Tribe Marshal Jin Tie Shou, Commander-in-Chief 95, Martial Power 100, Intelligence 86, Politics 78.

Hmm.

Previously, the individuals from the two machine‑beast races had mostly appeared.

I didn't expect there to still be a slip‑through.

Jin Tie Shou's personality is also very distinct.

He is loyal to the Wild Ape, obeying its orders without fail.

He is brave and fearless, daring to face any challenge or difficulty, never retreating.

He values affection and righteousness, treating friends and comrades like family, always concerned for their safety.

Moreover, as Beast Tribe Marshal, Jin Tie Shou's military talent and leadership are also outstanding.

He excels at deploying troops and forming battle lines, able to devise corresponding tactics and strategies according to different enemy situations and terrain.

Although he suffered from appearing too early.

This caused Jin Tie Shou's martial power to be somewhat lacking compared to later protagonists like the Thunderfire.

But his early commander‑in‑chief ability cannot be denied.

Right from the start, he brought a hundred‑thousand‑strong army to besiege the ruthless ones of Time City.

Ding! Summon fourth person, Erlang Shengsheng Yang Jian, Commander-in-Chief 90, Martial Power 108, Intelligence 85, Politics 80.

Hmm!

My second brother?

Yang Jian, usually called Erlang Shen, is the nephew of the Jade Emperor.

He is an only son born of the union of a deity and a mortal, possessing a mixed divine‑mortal lineage.

His image is usually depicted as a handsome, graceful youth or young man, skilled at hunting and combat, suave and unrestrained.

He wields a three‑pointed, double‑edged blade and is often accompanied by a divine hound named the Heaven‑Howling Dog.

One of his most striking features is the third eye on his forehead, regarded as a symbol of divine power, able to perceive all things in the world and discern demons and evil spirits.

To be frank, the previously summoned Lord Yang, Jin Tie Shou, and Empress Changsun already constitute a top‑tier lineup.

However, for a random summon card.

Su Ye naturally always looks forward to the next one being better.

Now that Erlang Shen Yang Jian has appeared, it's an unexpected gain.

His retinue is certainly not small either.

It also gave Su Ye a bit of comfort.

Ding! Summon fifth person, the renowned general of the Zhongxing era Guo Ziyi, Commander-in-Chief 98, Martial Power 94, Intelligence 91, Politics 92.

The man who gave the Tang Dynasty another 150 years of reign!

Guo Ziyi was a famous military commander of the mid‑Tang, spending most of his life in military service defending the northern frontiers.

His achievements are renowned not only for suppressing the An‑Shi Rebellion and resisting Tubo invasions,

but also for his diligence, caring for the troops, guarding the borders, and painstakingly managing the northern territories, which is even more important.

After the outbreak of the An‑Shi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty fell into an unprecedented crisis.

At that time, Guo Ziyi was appointed military governor of Shuofang, leading his troops to rally for the throne.

Relying on firm determination and outstanding command ability, he successfully recovered Hebei, Hedong and other regions, establishing great military merit for the Tang dynasty's stability.

But unfortunately, although Su Ye still admired him quite a bit, his panel data was not outstanding among the five slots of this summon.

All I can do is first apologize to him.

If fate allows, we'll meet again later.

"System, remove the Gold Iron Beast and Guo Ziyi, and summon from the remaining three."

Su Ye looked at the five slots given by the system, gritted his teeth, and decided.

There's no way, the two Saint‑rank figures, Erlang Shen Yang Jian and Empress Changsun, need not be mentioned.

Not to mention their abilities, just the people they can bring along are not simple at all.

Yang Jian brings along Yang Chan, True Person Jade Cauldron, and others.

Even luck might bring Nezha along.

And Empress Changsun is no slouch—at the very least, Changsun Sheng and Changsun WujI alone are worth the cost of this random summon card.

The only one who hasn't reached Saint rank is Yang Ye.

Behind him stands a whole gift pack of the Yang Family Generals.

The Seven Lang and Eight Tigers are still quite appealing.

"Ding! After removing the Gold Iron Beast and Guo Ziyi, the system will summon for the host among the remaining Yang Ye, Changsun Wugu, and Yang Jian."

"Host, please wait a moment."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Empress Wende Changsun Wugu: Commander-in-Chief 40, Martial 32, Intelligence 91, Politics 94, Charm 103."

Accompanying personnel: Changsun Sheng, Changsun WujI, Changsun Shunde, Changsun Anshi, Gao Shilian.

"Her implanted identity is the daughter of Changsun Sheng, a subordinate of Cloud Prince's Mansion Su Kai; she grew up as the host's childhood sweetheart, falling for the host, and now resides in Jiuxiao City, living together in the host's heir's manor with Shi Yiguang, who arrived at Jiuxiao City not long ago."

Huh?

Hiss... I seem to have forgotten something.

Looking at Changsun Wugu's implanted identity, Su Ye had a slight realization.

Damn it, he forgot Xi Shi!

Speaking of which, it's embarrassing, but when he previously summoned Xi Shi...

Su Ye had just taken command of the army, and without stopping he brought his troops to Cangzhou to make plans.

Although Xi Shi, upon being summoned, immediately followed the Net to Jiuxiao City.

But there simply wasn't enough time.

Later, Su Ye first defended the northern Taiping Pass against the Xiongnu, and secretly seized Dongning Pass.

Later, when Great Qian sent three princesses for a marriage alliance, he rushed to campaign in Qi Zhou.

Thus, Su Ye kept forgetting Xi Shi.

He left her in Jiuxiao City and did not bring her to Cangzhou.
