Chapter 2625 Fierce Generals of the Spring and Autumn Period, Famous Generals of the West
"Ding, the fifth balancer, Du Hui, with a command 80, strength 106, intelligence 75, politics 68, and charm 78."
Implanted identity: A brother of the Du Fuwei clan, possessing the courage of ten thousand men.
Bringing: Nangong Changwan, Nangong Niu, Meng Huo, Lang Shen, Ying Kao Shu, Wei Chou, Gao Gu, Ti Miming, Du Rong, Fei Bao, Gongsun Jie, Gongsun Zhi, Tian Kaijiang, Guyezi.
During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the most famous figures in history were the Hundred Schools of Thought and renowned generals such as Yue Yi, Tian Dan, Bai Qi, and Li Mu. However, in terms of individual martial prowess, there were relatively few notable figures.
However, in the Romance of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms and other historical novels, one can also find a number of fierce generals of that time.
Du Hui, who emerged from this balance, is one of them, and is even known as the fiercest warrior of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Du Hui was a strongman under Duke Huan of Qin. He was over ten feet tall, had the strength to lift a thousand jun (a unit of weight), and wielded a mountain-splitting axe weighing one hundred and twenty jin (a unit of weight).
In his early years at Qingmei Mountain, Du Hui once punched five tigers in a single day. After hearing of Du Hui's reputation for bravery, Duke Huan of Qin appointed him as the Right General of the Chariots.
Since entering Qin, Du Hui has repeatedly made military achievements. At Mount Cuo'e, Du Hui led three hundred strongmen to defeat ten thousand enemy soldiers. When fighting against the Jin army again, Du Hui wielded a mountain-splitting axe, hacking and slashing, and anyone who was in his path would die. The Jin army's commander-in-chief, Wei Ke, dared not fight for a time.
Furthermore, the people Du Hui brought along were of high quality; they all had a certain reputation for bravery in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Chronicles and were among the top figures in the Chronicles.
Like Nangong Changwan, whose data has already been revealed, he is a beginner-level god-level general, just like Du Hui.
In addition, there was Wei Chou, the fiercest general of Jin, who was also a man of unparalleled bravery.
During Duke Wen of Jin's nineteen-year exile, Wei Chou was his most valiant general.
When Chong'er fled to the State of Chu, the King of Chu was very friendly to him and invited him to go hunting in Yunmengze. The two of them shot a rabbit, a deer, and a bear.
Just then, a tapir-like beast appeared in the valley, impervious to swords, halberds, and arrows.
Zhao Cui, an officer under Prince Chong'er, was knowledgeable and experienced. He knew that the tapir's hide and flesh were as hard as iron, and that it could only be killed by piercing its nostrils with a pure steel weapon or by burning it with fire.
Wei Chou, however, jumped out and, without even using weapons, fought the tapir beast, using his strength to strangle it until it could not move.
After Chong'er returned to his country and ascended the throne, he attacked the state of Cao, which had previously been disrespectful to him. Wei Chou saw Duke Gong of Cao commanding from the city walls, so he jumped directly from his chariot onto the city wall and captured Duke Gong.
In the subsequent battles between Jin and Chu, the elderly Wei Chou served as the vanguard. Because Wei Chou was the only one in Chu who controlled the tapir beast, the people of Chu admired his bravery, and the Chu army was terrified of him. Moreover, he fought alone against Yue Jiao, Yi Shen, and Bo, yet still maintained the upper hand.
Such strength, even if not as great as Du Hui and Nangong Changwan, is not much worse.
"Ding, the sixth balancer, Huai Xi King Jiao Benzhong, Command 74, Martial Strength 107, Intelligence 56, Politics 52, Charisma 75."
Implanted identity: A general under Zhu Yuanzhang.
Bringing: Zhang Xiantu, King of Chengdu; Yao Zilin, King of Tongshan; and Shi Wanbao.
A mid-level divine general is still quite interesting.
Moreover, the individuals Jiao Benzhong brought along were of high caliber. Aside from Shi Wanbao, who was slightly less capable, the remaining two—Chengdu King Zhang Xiantu and Tongshan King Yao Zilin—were no less powerful than Huaixi King Jiao Benzhong. These three elders were roughly on the same level. As the top three of the thirteen outstanding figures of the Sui and Tang dynasties, their combined strength was even enough to suppress Li Yuanba for a short period, demonstrating their considerable power.
Like the Golden Horde, Zhu Yuanzhang is currently an ally of the Han Dynasty, but they share a common enemy, the Great Qian Dynasty, and both sides have common interests.
Zhu Yuanzhang's increased strength is beneficial to the Han Dynasty, at least for the time being.
Of course, once they have divided up the Great Qian Dynasty, the situation regarding their interests will be completely different.
"Ding, the seventh balanced player, Wellington, with a command 101, strength 65, intelligence 95, politics 90, and charm 86."
Implanted identity: A general under Napoleon.
Wellington actually managed to infiltrate the ranks of his rival Napoleon, which is truly...
However, to be fair, the Duke of Wellington was indeed capable, after all, he was the one who caused Napoleon's Waterloo and ended his reign.
Arthur Wellesley, the Iron Duke, also known as the first Duke of Wellington, is the only person in world history to have received the rank of Field Marshal in eight countries.
These eight countries are the Russian Empire, the Austrian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Hanover, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Portugal, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
Emperor Alexander I of Russia called him the conqueror of world conquerors, and Alexander I was also a capable man, revered by European countries and the Russian people as the Holy King and the Savior of Europe.
Even he praised Wellington highly, which shows Wellington's ability.
Wellington was born into a prominent Protestant landowning family in Ireland. Because of his wealth, he purchased the rank of second lieutenant and joined the British Army.
Those who buy their way into office are not necessarily incompetent, and Arthur Wellesley proved this point. He fought in both the Netherlands and India, and performed particularly well in the Battle of Srireng-Bertna in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War, which led to his promotion to governor of Srireng-Bertna and Mysore.
Later, he was promoted to general in the Peninsular War, where he defeated six of Napoleon's marshals with a smaller force. He also led the Allied forces to victory against the French in the Battle of Victoria in 1813 and was awarded the rank of Field Marshal.
When Napoleon was exiled to Elba, he had become the British ambassador to France and was granted the title of Duke.
However, Napoleon successfully escaped back to France and began his Hundred Days of Reign, while Wellington decisively defeated the French army commanded by Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, once again writing the myth of the Iron Duke.
These two former adversaries have become ruler and subject in this life, keeping the other Western Rong states and surrounding powers quite busy.
If these two can work together perfectly, they can definitely achieve a result greater than the sum of their parts.
Napoleon and Wellington were undoubtedly the greatest military strategists in the world during the same period.
However, the former is more likely to be a strategist with a more revolutionary and overall influence, with outstanding strategic planning ability, while the latter is generally regarded as an extremely excellent tactician.
Their collaboration can be seen as a combination of a top strategist and a top tactician; to a certain extent, the two can complement each other.
