Time was of the essence; the arrival of the Xiongnu reinforcements was uncertain.
Therefore, Mu Zian's most important goal at present is to lead Jieli and some important Xiongnu nobles to evacuate from the grasslands.
Therefore, Luo Cheng and Xu Hui did not have much time to form the Beggars' Army.
Moreover, having traveled through snow all the way, it was uncertain how many of these slaves would survive and return to Dali.
This is also a selection process; Mu Zi'an's kindness only allows them one hope of survival.
Whether or not they can seize the opportunity depends entirely on their own fate.
With the help of Han Shizhong, Zhao Yun and others, the formation of the new army went much more smoothly, and Mu Zian didn't need to worry about anything.
Inside the royal tent, Mu Zi'an was not idle either. He closed his eyes and then spoke.
"Begin the summoning!"
As Mu Zian's voice fell, the system's voice rang out.
"System is calling, please wait!"
"Ding! The system has successfully summoned three famous historical ministers!"
"The host can choose one of the three to remove, and the system will randomly select one of the remaining two."
Upon hearing this voice, Mu Zian's heart began to race with excitement.
This time, the one summoned will be that figure who will go down in history.
Zhuge Liang, the strategist who first presented his memorial before the expedition, is truly renowned throughout the ages; who can rival him in this regard?
Or perhaps it was Liu Bowen, the brilliant strategist who devised infallible plans to help the Ming dynasty overthrow the Yuan dynasty, or Bao Zheng, the incorruptible judge.
Just as Mu Zian was still lost in his fantasies, the system's voice began to ring out.
"Ding-dong! The first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty: Yang Guozhong."
Pfft! Upon hearing the name Yang Guozhong, Mu Zian felt as if he had been punched hard in the chest.
Mu Zian was initially quite excited upon hearing the words "Great Tang Dynasty".
After all, the Tang Dynasty was a shining dynasty in the entire history of China.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Di Renjie are all figures who have left their mark on history.
But to everyone's surprise! The system summoned Yang Guozhong instead!
People may not be familiar with Yang Guozhong, but everyone knows his cousin.
That was Yang Guifei, one of the Four Beauties of ancient China.
Yang Guozhong's rise to power was inseparable from the help of Yang Guifei.
It was during Yang Guozhong's dictatorship that the An Lushan Rebellion broke out in the Tang Dynasty.
As prime minister, Yang Guozhong not only failed to respond effectively to the An Lushan Rebellion, but instead chose to evade responsibility.
This directly led to chaos in the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
Faced with the threat of the rebels, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, was forced to flee Chang'an.
Even at this critical juncture, Yang Guozhong could not change his domineering nature.
During his escape, he even ordered his family members to walk ahead of the Imperial Guards, causing the army's march to be hindered.
When the army reached Mawei Slope, the imperial guards mutinied, and Yang Guozhong was killed by the enraged soldiers.
Subsequently, Yang Guifei was forced to hang herself amidst this turmoil.
It can be said that Yang Guozhong was the anchor point that directly led to the decline of the Tang Dynasty.
Historians in later generations have described Yang Guozhong as follows: Although Yang Guozhong wielded immense power, he was of little talent and relied solely on his status as a relative of the emperor to flatter and curry favor, and was insatiably cruel.
In short: He's bad at games but loves to play.
Just as Mu Zian was at her wit's end, the system's voice sounded again.
"Ding-dong! Second place: Qin Hui, prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty."
In an instant, Mu Zian felt like he was going to go numb.
Goodness, is the feng shui of the grassland bad?
This isn't just bad luck with gacha pulls, where the hell did this come from? Is this even the mortal realm?
Qin Hui is a figure who deserves to be ranked among the top five treacherous officials in Chinese history!
The crimes he committed are too numerous to count!
Just because he and Zhao Gou unjustly killed Yue Fei on a fabricated charge, he deserves to be infamous for eternity!
The fate of the Southern Song Dynasty was actually predetermined from the very beginning.
In the end, if it weren't for Lu Xiufu carrying the young Song emperor Zhao Bing to his death by jumping into the sea during the Battle of Yamen, he would have stubbornly preserved the last bit of integrity of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Then the Great Song Dynasty of the North and South, which had been bent over for 319 years, really broke.
To be honest, Mu Zian didn't want to comment much on Qin Hui. He felt that saying even one more word to him would make his mouth dirty.
At this moment, Mu Zian had pinned all his hopes on the last spot!
At that moment, the system's voice also rang out.
"Ding-dong! Third place: Gao Qiu, Grand Commandant of the Northern Song Dynasty."
To be honest, when people are speechless to the extreme, they can actually laugh.
Mu Zian is in this state right now.
Good, good, good! Is this the mysterious civil official the system was referring to?
Yang Guozhong, Qin Hui, Gao Qiu.
Take a good look at these three. Is any one of them a person?
Oh no! Gao Qiu could barely be considered half a Gao Qiu.
The two men above are still some distance from being gods, but they are already far from being human.
Although Gao Qiu was also a treacherous and wicked person, he was at most a true villain who flattered and fawned.
Throughout history, there have been countless figures like Gao Qiu, like carp crossing a river.
In the novel *Water Margin*, Gao Qiu is portrayed as a thoroughly wicked and utterly evil person.
However, in history, Gao Qiu was actually a person who knew how to repay kindness.
Gao Qiu once served as a "junior secretary" under Su Shi, responsible for copying and writing.
Later, when Su Shi was transferred from the capital to a post outside the capital, he always thought about how to secure a good future for his clever little follower before he left.
Su Shi first recommended Gao Qiu to his friend Zeng Bu, but Zeng Bu already had enough servants in his household and politely declined.
Undeterred, Su Shi changed his mind and decided to introduce him to Wang Shen, the imperial son-in-law of the emperor.
