Chapter 243

Ding! While using the Random Family Summon Card, the system will randomly give out four sets of random families; after the host selects one set, the remaining will be randomly assigned a set!

Ding! Random Family First Set: Western Han Wei clan.

It includes the main members: Wei Ao, Wei Changjun, Wei Qing, Wei Zifu, Wei Shaoyou, Wei Bu, Wei Guang, Huo Qubing, and other main figures.

Hmm. The Twin Jewels of the Great Han!

Also, there's that drawing a charm card, which additionally gives two SSR copies of Wei Zifu!

In the ever-changing Great Han dynasty, they were like dazzling twin jewels, shining together, jointly guarding this vast territory, later praised by posterity as the 'Twin Jewels of the Great Han'.

Wei Qing, courtesy name Zhongqing, his life was closely tied to war.

Initially, he was merely a horse slave in the Princess Pingyang's mansion, of low status, but fate granted him an extraordinary opportunity.

His sister Wei Zifu gained the favor of Emperor Wu of Han.

With Wei Zifu's rise, Wei Qing also encountered a turning point in his life.

He was skilled in using troops, daring to penetrate enemy territory, and winning by surprise.

It includes the main members: Lord Yang Ye (Yang Jiye), Grand Lady She Saihua, Eldest Lang Yang Tai (courtesy name Yanping), Second Lang Yang Yong (courtesy name Yanding), Third Lang Yang Xun (courtesy name Yanguang), Fourth Lang Yang Gui (courtesy name Yanhui), Fifth Lang Yang Chun (courtesy name Yande), Sixth Lang Yang Jing (courtesy name Yan zhao), Seventh Lang Yang Xi (courtesy name Yansi), Eighth Sister Yang Yanjie, Ninth Sister Yang Yan ying.

Finally, the opportunity arrived; he was appointed as a general and led troops to campaign against the Xiongnu.

He was Wei Qing's nephew, having developed a strong interest in military strategy from childhood, and when young he accompanied the army on campaign, displaying astonishing military talent.

And Huo Qubing, courtesy name Jinghuan, his appearance was like a comet streaking across the night sky—brief yet dazzling.

In the later northern desert campaign, he further joined forces with Huo Qubing, inflicting heavy blows on the Xiongnu, resulting in 'the Xiongnu fled far away, and no royal court remained in the southern desert'.

In the tumultuous, war-ridden years of the Northern Song, a brave and loyal army galloped the frontiers—they were the renowned Yang Family Generals.

Huo Qubing's tactical style differed greatly from Wei Qing's; he was more bold and decisive, adept at long-distance raids, striking the enemy with the speed of thunder before they could cover their ears.

He was therefore promoted, beginning his military career.

In the torrent of history, some moments seem eternally frozen; Huo Qubing's sealing of Langju Xu is one such moment.

The cavalry he led swept across the vast desert like a sudden wind and rain, causing the Xiongnu to hear the news and lose their courage.

Yet Wei Qing was not satisfied thereby; he deeply understood his origins and status, yearning to achieve merit on the battlefield.

He was first promoted to be the Superintendent of the Jianzhang Palace, responsible for imperial palace security.

That moment's honor and splendor were like brilliant stars cutting through the night sky.

Thanks to his outstanding military achievements, he was successively promoted to Marquis of Changping and Grand General, becoming the mainstay of the Han military.

In the Hexi campaign, he crushed the Xiongnu and directly seized the Qilian Mountains.

Wei Qing's first expedition went straight to Longcheng, where he displayed great prowess, capturing the golden figure the Xiongnu used for heaven‑worship; from then on he stood out in the Han‑Xiongnu wars.

Yang Family Generals—Legend of the Frontier with Iron Blood and Loyal Heart

Ding! Random Family Second Set: Northern Song Yang Family Generals.

Sealing Langju Xu—these four words are like a monument, forever standing in the river of history, becoming the ultimate achievement in the hearts of countless later warriors.

When the young general stepped onto the summit of Langju Xu Mountain, he plunged the banner of the Great Han deep into the soil.

This army was renowned not only for its bravery and skill in battle, but also because the whole family generation after generation was loyal and virtuous, filling the household with heroes, earning widespread admiration.

The story of the Yang Family Generals is like a vast, sweeping epic, passed down among the people, stirring in people's hearts.

Yang Ye, the brave man acclaimed as the 'Invincible General', wielded a golden spear, donned armor, led the Yang army in southern and northern campaigns, and established magnificent military achievements.

On the battlefield he was like a tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable; in the tent he planned strategies and decided victories from a thousand li away.

After him, the Seventh Lang and Eighth Tiger further elevated the Yang Family Generals' household loyalty and bravery to high rank.

The Seventh Lang and Eighth Tiger, as the core strength of the Yang Family Generals, repeatedly went on campaign and established magnificent military achievements.

However, as the saying goes, 'The tree that stands out in the forest will be blown down by the wind'; their outstanding performance also invited jealousy and sabotage from treacherous ministers at court.

Pan Renmei, this treacherous minister of the Northern Song court, had always held dissatisfaction toward the Yang Family Generals.

He envied the Yang family's military achievements and prestige, and also feared that the Yang Family Generals' power would threaten his own position.

Thus, he secretly colluded with the Liao state and plotted a scheme against the Yang Family Generals.

In a battle with the Liao, Pan Renmei deliberately delayed military intelligence, causing the Yang Family Generals to fall into heavy encirclement.

Although the Seventh Lang and Eighth Tiger were brave and skilled in battle, in this fight they became mired in a bitter struggle.

Although they fought fiercely to slay the enemy, they were ultimately outnumbered and gradually fell into desperation.

Eldest Lang Yang Yanjie led from the front in battle, leading his brothers to courageously slay the foe.

However, under the enemy's encirclement, he suffered grave wounds and ultimately died a heroic death.

Second Lang Yang Yanding fought valiantly but was overcome, captured by the enemy; he preferred death to surrender and was eventually cruelly killed.

Third Lang Yang Xun fought bravely in the breakout, but was ultimately shot to death by enemy arrows.

Fourth Lang Yang Yanhui went missing in battle, later rumored to have wandered into Liao and become a Liao prince‑consort.

Yet he never forgot his homeland in his heart, and finally succumbed to depression.

Fifth Lang Yang Yande, seeing through the mortal world in battle, chose to leave home and become a monk.

In the temple he cultivated and realized the Dao, spending the rest of his life there.

Although he left the battlefield, his heart still harbored deep worry for the country and nation.

Sixth Lang Yang Yan zhao, among the Seventh Lang and Eighth Tiger, was the most accomplished in both wisdom and valor; he performed excellently in battle, successfully broke through and returned to the Song.

However, upon learning of his brothers' tragic ends, he was overcome with grief, his heart filled with endless sorrow and anger.

He inherited his father's dying wish, continued to lead the Yang army in defending the frontier, and became a renowned general of his generation.

Ding! Random Family Third Set: Western Han Wang clan.

It includes the main members: Wang Feng, Wang Man, Wang Tan, Wang Chong, Wang Shang, Wang Gen, Wang Fengshi, Wang Yi, Wang Xun, Prince of Yunnan Wang Xian, Prince of Kunyang Wang Li, Prince of Lu Wang Gangchang, Wang Feng, Wang Shun, Wang Yin, Wang Yi (Prince of Yingyang), Wang Fu (Founding King), Wang Huan (Guardian King), Wang Lin, Wang Qunjun,

Wang Mang, courtesy name Jujun, was an important political figure at the end of the Western Han, later becoming the founding emperor of the Xin dynasty.

He came from the powerful Wang clan of the outer relatives, being the nephew of Empress Wang Qunjun of Emperor Xiao yuan of the Western Han.

The Wang family that Wang Mang belonged to was a prominent clan of the time, with many family members holding important positions in the imperial court.

Wang Mang himself gradually stood out in the family, relying on his own talent and the support of his aunt Wang Zhengjun, he gradually gained an important position at court.

He was skilled at making friends with scholars and winning people's hearts, thus gaining the support of many.

After Emperor Ai of Han died, Wang Mang seized the opportunity to take power, ultimately usurping the Han throne and establishing the New Dynasty.

Unfortunately, Wang Mang's New Dynasty did not last long.

It was then struck by heavenly justice.

Grand Magus Liu Xiu unleashed the Fire-Earth system Great Forbidden Curse - Meteorite Smash Face!

Wang Mang himself was also killed in the chaos.
