Chapter 1210: Limelight

"I didn't expect this Zhuge family to set off such a limelight."

"That Qilin child of the Zhuge family wouldn't be Prime Minister Zhuge, would he? Probably not. According to that Prime Minister Zhuge's personality, he wouldn't be so high-profile?"

Su Fan came to Xuzhou just to find that Prime Minister through the ages.

The Langya Zhuge family, although historically the Zhuge family moved to Jingzhou because of war, their hometown is indeed in Langya Commandery, Xuzhou.

After arriving in Xuzhou, Su Fan just asked casually and heard a lot about the Zhuge family. The current Zhuge family is much better than the historical Zhuge family.

Su Fan was prepared for this.

Historically, although the Zhuge family declined, they could still cultivate the three Zhuge sons to become high-level officials of the Wei, Shu, and Wu kingdoms, which shows the family's academic origin.

Otherwise, no matter how awesome the talents of the three Zhuge brothers were, it would be impossible to be self-taught. Not to mention that era, to say self-taught is a joke.

If the family has no inheritance, what do you use to teach yourself?

The monopoly of knowledge by families is very terrifying.

There are also talents from poor families, but that is also because these poor families were wealthy in their ancestors, and the family still retained some inheritance, and some knowledge was preserved, which also gave them the opportunity to restore the family's glory.

Don't you see, in the Han and Tang dynasties, true commoners, unless they went through the army, almost none could rise.

This is the situation in the Han and Tang dynasties.

Poor families are also one of the scholar-official families.

This mythical era, Liu Han is actually the same.

The Zhuge family, as one of the families, in this timeline stretched ten times, can survive, then there must be no small achievements.

Not to mention becoming a top-tier family in the world, but at least before coming, Su Fan felt that the Zhuge family in Xuzhou could definitely occupy a place.

However, after arriving here, the news he heard surprised Su Fan. The Zhuge family was better than he thought. Originally, it was a top-tier second-rate family in Liu Han, with many Golden Core level elders in the clan, and many high-ranking officials at the Prefect level.

They have a certain influence in various places.

Such a force, even if it cannot compare to the Wang family in the north, is definitely not much worse. The top strength may not be able to compare to the Zhang family, but the overall strength is still above the Zhang family, especially in terms of influence, which is far from comparable to the Zhang family.

Of course, if the two have a conflict and a great war, then the Zhuge family is indeed not the Zhang family's opponent.

But now, it is a bit different. The Zhuge family's Qilin child, one who was evaluated by a Daoist expert as having the bearing of an Immortal, and also has strength comparable to the Spirit Refining Realm.

In this way, the Zhuge family has gone up a level.

It's just that who is the Zhuge family's Qilin child? According to folk sayings, when the Zhuge family's Qilin child was born, visions descended from the sky, purple energy filled the world.

This is obviously a scene of a sage being born. This kind of scene did indeed appear in the pre-Qin era.

But it is impossible to be as the folk say. Su Fan naturally knows that the folk sayings are exaggerated.

Even Prime Minister Zhuge, who indeed has a very high status in history, is still a few points worse than those sages of the hundred schools.

Indeed, in terms of politics and military affairs, Prime Minister Zhuge's ability is unmatched by many sages, but the influence of those sages is even greater.

Just take Sun Tzu of the Military School; his military books influenced many martial generals of the later generations, and even Martial Marquis Prime Minister Zhuge was greatly influenced by him.

In this world, Sun Tzu and these people did indeed become sages of the human race, and some even became sages. What is a sage? It is a saint of the human race.

There are not many such people.

Prime Minister Zhuge, to be honest, perhaps he can become a great sage, but to say he is a sage is still an unknown. After all, wanting to become a sage requires making great contributions to the human race.

For example, Laozi, although not born of the human race, the Daoist school he established has a great influence on the human race.

Prime Minister Zhuge wants to become a sage, either by making great contributions like Su Fan, or by creating classics that influence the human race like other sages.

Born with purple energy filling the air, this kind of natural vision is indeed extraordinary. Prime Minister Zhuge has this qualification, but this is somewhat inconsistent with the other party's personality.

He doesn't think that in this upcoming troubled time, the Prime Minister will stand out first. Standing out indeed brought great reputation to the Zhuge family, but at the same time, it will also become a thorn in the side of all parties in the future.

"If it's not Prime Minister Zhuge, then maybe it's that Great General of Eastern Wu."

This is not Su Fan's random guess, but that Great General of Eastern Wu's ability is not bad either. In terms of internal affairs, even if he cannot compare to the Prime Minister, he is top-tier in the late Han period. In the entire late Han and Three Kingdoms, I am afraid there are not many who can surpass him, and in terms of military affairs, he is definitely not bad, otherwise he would not have been appointed Great General by Eastern Wu later.

The abilities of the three Zhuge sons are not bad, but their limelight was almost covered by Prime Minister Zhuge alone.

After all, Zhuge Jin and the others can only be considered talents of one dynasty, while Prime Minister Zhuge is top-tier in history.

It's not that Zhuge Jin and the others are not strong. According to the division of the game, their comprehensive ability is around 95, but the Prime Minister is definitely 100 or even higher.

The Zhuge family's inheritance is good, so with the talents of Zhuge Jin and the others, it is not impossible to cultivate to the Golden Core or even Spirit Refining.

Having been here for a while, Su Fan also discovered that those famous figures in history have naturally stronger luck.

In this way, in terms of cultivation, they naturally occupy a certain advantage.

Just take Zhao Kuo; in the pre-Qin era, his cultivation was not weak, and there were not many who could compare with him in the same period.

Logically speaking, his ability, placed in history, is barely at the level of a second-rate martial general. Not to mention the distant ones, just placed in the Three Kingdoms, it is comparable to Gan Ning and the others.

This is not Su Fan's praise for Zhao Kuo. Indeed, Zhao Kuo's "paper talk" in history threw him into the abyss.

However, in fact, his ability is definitely not that bad. After all, commanding an army of hundreds of thousands without chaos—just this ability alone is something no one can compare to.

There are many famous generals in the late Han and Three Kingdoms, but how many are there for large-scale army command? Cao Cao is one, and Zhuge Liang is one.

Even Zhou Yu, who was praised for his military skills comparable to Zhuge, never led more than one hundred thousand troops.

Why can Han Xin be respected as the Military Immortal by the Military School? It is precisely because of his ability to lead troops—the more the better. This is not a joke.

Historically, only he could do what Han Xin did.

Large-scale army battles have too high requirements for commanders.

Zhao Kuo faced Bai Qi and indeed lost, but to be honest, it was an honorable defeat even in later generations. ===== CHAPTER 1211 =====
