Ding! Random Family Group Four: Han Dynasty Sun Clan.

We need to keep the quotes? The Chinese line includes 「」 quotes. Should we keep them? The instruction: translate faithfully, preserve every paragraph break. The quotes are part of the text. We should translate the content inside but keep the punctuation? Usually we would translate the whole line, including the quotation marks as English quotes? The Chinese uses 「」 which are corner brackets. In English we could use regular quotes or keep them? Probably we should translate the meaning and use English punctuation. The instruction: "Render EXACTLY what the source says — same meaning, same information, nothing added." The punctuation is part of the source; we should preserve it but adapt to English conventions? Usually we replace 「」 with English quotes. But to be safe, we can keep the Chinese quotes? That would be weird. I think we should translate the content and use English double quotes. The source includes 「」; we can replace with "" or ""? The instruction didn't specify to keep the exact punctuation marks, just same meaning. I'd use English double quotes.

Thus line 1 translation: "Ding! Random Family Group Four: Han Dynasty Sun Clan."

Ding! Random Family Group Four: Han Dynasty Sun Clan.

Thus: Ding! Random Family Group Four: Han Dynasty Sun Clan.

But we need to output 【1】 translation.

It includes the main members: Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang, Sun Deng, Sun He, Sun Liang, Sun Xiu, Sun Hao, Sun Luban, Sun Luyu, and Bu Lian Shi.

Hmm. The Sun family of Eastern Wu at the end of the Han?

This quality is just barely adequate.

Even Sun Quan, who founded the Eastern Wu regime, is really just that.

It cannot compare to the three families above.

It might be roughly on par with the Yang Family Generals.

Among them, including Sun Jian, the founder of Eastern Wu, who was brave and skilled in battle, and once participated in the campaign against Dong Zhuo.

Then there is Sun Ce, Sun Jian's eldest son, who inherited his father's bravery and martial prowess, earning the title 'Little Overlord', unified the Jiangdong region, and laid the foundation for Eastern Wu's establishment.

Finally there is Sun Quan, younger brother of Sun Ce, the founding emperor of Eastern Wu, who inherited his father's and brother's legacy, established the Eastern Wu regime, and formed a tripartite standoff with Cao Wei and Shu Han.

After that, there aren't many high-quality individuals left.

Sun Deng, Sun Quan's eldest son, was once made crown prince but died early, posthumously honored as Prince Xuan.

The first group's Wei clan has Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, these two SSR, plus the virtuous empress Wei Zifu through the ages.

Then there is Sun Luyu, Sun Quan's second daughter, who first married Zhu Ju and later married Liu Zan, and was called 'Princess Zhu' or 'Princess Liu'.

Whether in quality or in female members, they completely outclass the Sun clan.

Sun Liang, Sun Quan's youngest son, succeeded as emperor of Eastern Wu, but real power was held by powerful officials, and he was later deposed.

There's really nothing comparable about them.

Sun Hao, nephew of Sun Xiu, the last emperor of Eastern Wu, decadent and tyrannical, leading to Eastern Wu's downfall.

It can be seen that Sun Quan's later descendants, each one is steadfast.

One could say, if we truly talk about appeal.

«System, draw the first group's Western Han Wei clan. »

The third group's Wang clan is the same; even setting aside Wang Mang as an uncertain factor, the overall quality of the Wang family is not bad.

Even the Yang Family Generals, in terms of appeal, thoroughly outclass this fourth group's Sun clan.

After that come the ladies of Eastern Wu.

They actively participated in political struggles, exerting an important influence on Eastern Wu's political situation.

Perhaps even Sun Jian and his three sons are not as attractive as these Eastern Wu ladies.

Although she was not ennobled as empress, her status in Sun Quan's palace was exalted, and she had an important influence on Sun Quan.

Su Ye glanced at the finally appearing Sun clan, then expressionlessly shifted his gaze.

Sun Luban, Sun Quan's eldest daughter, first married Zhou Yu's son Zhou Xun, then married Quan Cong, and was thus called 'Princess Quan'.

Sun He, Sun Quan's second son, after failing to contend with Sun Deng for the crown prince position was deposed, but later restored as Prince of Nanyang.

Sun Xiu, younger brother of Sun Liang, ascended as emperor of Eastern Wu, attempted to revive court discipline, but his reign was brief.

Also there is Bu Lian Shi, Sun Quan's favored concubine, renowned for her beauty and talent, who made certain contributions to Eastern Wu's cultural and artistic development.

At least they have many people, and the whole family is loyal and heroic.

Are they not much better than Sun Ce and Sun Quan?

Of course, actually there's nothing much to hesitate about with these four families this time.

The Wei clan possessing Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

Definitely a top-tier level.

At least two Saint Rank as a guarantee!

The specific numbers for Huo Qubing are unknown, after all he died too early.

Given his early death in his prime.

One would think there will still be much room for progress in the future.

Even if it comes out now, one would think its value is not his peak.

Wei Zifu as well, according to her historical name.

Among all famous women in history, her evaluations are always among the top.

Having a son brings no joy, having a daughter brings no anger, only Wei Zifu is not seen ruling the world.

Originating from a singer, she served as empress for a full 38 years in the complex harem environment.

She did not dominate the world alone, but was cautious everywhere, discreet and careful, strict with herself and lenient toward others, earning Han Wudi's favor through reverent, modest harmony, and gaining the respect of officials and palace personnel.

Later, even if Han Wudi shifted his affection elsewhere, he still increased his trust in Empress Wei, entrusting her with harem affairs whenever he went out.

Therefore, her charm attribute is absolutely at the Saint Rank level.

As for Wei Qing, there's no need to say more.

Western Han Grand General, a definite Saint Rank Commander-in-Chief.

Plus Huo Qubing, who is similarly a cultivated talent for command.

One could say, the quality of this generation of the Wei clan is not bad among all families in history.

One generation produced two Saint Ranks, and even if we don't count Huo Qubing's early death.

If we gave him the same longevity as Wei Qing, his ultimate command would definitely be above Saint Rank!

«Ding! The host has already specified selection of the first group—Western Han Wei clan in the random family summon card! »

«Ding! Congratulations host for obtaining the Western Han Wei clan. »

Wei Lao, Wei Changjun, Wei Qing, Wei Zifu, Wei Shaoyou, Wei Bu, Wei Guang, Huo Qubing, etc.

Implanted with the identity of a family sworn generationally to serve the Cloud Prince under the Cloud Prince's Mansion of Jiuxiao City, they have all chosen to support the host; now Wei Zifu is implanted as a maid beside the host, Wei Qing as a Colonel under the host's command, Huo Qubing as Wei Qing's nephew, currently secretly following Wei Qing in the Cangzhou New Army camp.

«Ding! The host's designated family summoning is complete, randomly assigned the 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 Zhengjun.

The implanted identity is one of the powerful ministers who control the court of the Western Mausoleum Da Ling dynasty; currently, under Wang Mang's leadership, he is confronting the Son of the Red Emperor Liu Bang and the Hezhou next to the capital of the Da Ling dynasty.

Hmm. Not bad.

Su Ye stood in the moonlight, his figure appearing and disappearing in the tranquil night.

His eyes were deep, as if they could pierce this endless darkness and see the dawn of the future.

He nodded in satisfaction, feeling very satisfied with the identity implanted by the system.

Summoned and used immediately.

Directly implanted beside him.

Such convenience saved him from much unnecessary trouble.

Especially Wei Qing's implanted identity made Su Ye's eyes light up.

In the new army recently prepared by Li Shan Chang and others in Cangzhou, Wei Qing directly became a member of it.

This meant Su Ye no longer needed to rack his brains to place him in the army, nor worry about his status and prestige there.

Only need to find a suitable moment, give an order.

Wei Qing could then command this new army and serve him.

Such an arrangement undoubtedly saved Su Ye a great deal of time and energy.

He no longer needed to worry about how to let Wei Qing and Huo Qubing achieve merit in the army, nor worry about their unstable status there, being looked down upon or excluded.

All these worries and troubles vanished under the system's exquisite arrangement.

Otherwise, after going through all these steps, who knows how much time would be wasted on Su Ye.
