Ran Min: Founder of the Ran Wei regime during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.
This person is decisive, perceptive, and known for his bravery.
His highlight was his slaying of the Hu people.
According to historical records, during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, the Five Barbarian Tribes invaded China and did not treat the Han people as human beings.
After Ran Min established the Ran Wei state, he issued the infamous "Order to Slaughter the Hu" in order to suppress the Hu people, vowing to kill all the Hu people to avenge the shame of the Han people.
He personally led the Zhao people to kill the Hu and Jie people. Regardless of social status, gender, or age, all were beheaded. Within three days, more than 200,000 people died, and their bodies were eaten by wild dogs and wolves outside the city.
According to Ran Min's orders, not only were non-Hu people to be killed, but anyone who looked like a Hu person was also to be killed. As a result, half of the people with high noses and long beards at that time died due to indiscriminate killing.
As for his leadership abilities, Lin Mo couldn't say for sure.
Because there are very few historical records from that era, and there are no famous military generals.
But, since he was able to become emperor, surely he shouldn't be only a three-star emperor?
"I don't know what's wrong with this system!"
At this moment, a man eight feet tall, wearing a white helmet and chainmail armor, and wielding two halberds, knelt on one knee and said, "This humble general, Ran Min, pays his respects to my lord!"
"General Ran, please get up quickly!" Lin Mo hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
"Thank you, my lord!"
"Haha, with General Ran by my side, I am like a fish in water."
Lin Mo laughed and said, "Now that I am facing a formidable enemy, I need General Ran to charge into battle for me and fight bravely!"
"It is my duty, General!"
"Hmm!" Lin Mo nodded. "Tens of thousands of troops will soon attack my capital, Xichuan. I will send you and Mr. Yao Guangxiao to defend Xichuan City. Now, go and report to Mr. Yao!"
"Your humble servant obeys!"
After speaking, Ran Min bowed and left. After he had gone some distance, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder if he can hold on!" After all, Lin Mo didn't know much about this man, only that he had slaughtered the Hu.
Moreover, he was defeated by Murong Ke, the Prince of Taiyuan of the Former Yan, and later captured by Murong Jun, the Prince of Yan, and beheaded at Eling Mountain.
That looks very disgraceful!
At this moment, the system seemed to sense Lin Mo's emotions and issued a notification.
[Host, please rest assured, Ran Min's leadership ability reaches the four-star standard. However, a general's quality is calculated based on comprehensive data. Ran Min's reputation and prestige are poorly documented in historical records, hindering his evaluation.]
"Damn, is that so!" Lin Mo exclaimed. "A four-star general commanding more than 30,000 soldiers in Xichuan City is definitely enough!" He thought of Xu Chu, a four-star general whose martial prowess completely overwhelmed all the generals of the Great Xia Dynasty that Lin Mo had ever seen.
[System Notification: Host, you have already achieved the combat strength of a regional warlord. The system will no longer reward general draw tickets. From now on, generals can only be obtained through point redemption.]
"Damn it!" Lin Mo said unhappily.
As Lin Mo continued reading, his eyes lit up.
[An increase in the host's combat power has been detected. The system has automatically activated a branch growth path.]
You have three character progression options: 1. Wise Ruler; 2. Tyrannical Ruler; 3. Desperate Ruler.
[Side Quest Growth "Wise Ruler" Special Effect Skill: Wise and Virtuous Ruler.]
[Skill Effect: Reduces the points required to exchange for generals in the shop by 50%-95%. (Your reputation is renowned throughout the land, and all talented individuals are willing to serve under you.)]
[Activation Requirements: Kill count below D, and the stability index of the fiefdom's inhabitants above A. (Note: Index values S>A>B>C>D>E.)]
[The system has detected that the host's current kill count is A. This route is not recommended.]
"Wow! This wise ruler's special effect is amazing! The final effect is to reduce the points required to exchange for a general by 95%."
Wouldn't that mean Xiang Yu, Lü Bu, and Zhang Liang could all get free kills? Unfortunately, the kill count is currently too high, and the system doesn't even recommend it!
Let's look at the second one, a tyrannical ruler... This one's acceptable too.
[Side Quest Growth "Tyrant" Special Effect Skill: Drunken Dream!]
[Skill Effect: Increases points gained while sleeping by 300%-800%.]
[Activation requirement: Earn 300,000 points by sleeping.]
[The system recommends this growth path; you can effortlessly conquer the world!]
"Yeah, this is incredibly effective!" Lin Mo exclaimed, drooling. "It increases the speed of point acquisition by 3-8 times. The efficiency of increasing points while sleeping can be increased through other methods."
Currently, it's 3 points. If it increases to 5-10 points, multiplied by a factor... oh my goodness, you could earn dozens of points per minute!
What a tyrannical ruler!
The only problem is that he needs to gain 300,000 points by sleeping, and Lin Mo has only just broken through 100,000 points so far, which seems a bit far off!
Finally, let's see what the "Tyrant" is all about. Clicking again, it was like a blinding flash of light for Lin Mo. "This...it smells amazing!"
[Side Quest Growth "Tyrant" Special Effect Skill: Nightmare Cavalry x1 (Note: Those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish! Just kill them!)]
[Skill Effect: The host can exchange points for a powerful unit every ten days: Nightmare Cavalry!]
[Nightmare Cavalry Note: The host can use Earth's "Eighteen Riders of Yanyun" as a reference. Additionally, the host can understand this unit's strength as being only slightly inferior to Xu Chu's.]
[Activation requirements: 1. Kill count exceeds A; 2. Kill count exceeds 250,000; 3. Own two or more territories.]
How can you get a Xu Chu for free in ten days?
Oh no, they're just a little bit worse than Xu Chu's Nightmare Cavalry (the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun)!
Many of the posts Lin Mo had seen on Earth mentioned a so-called "elite cavalry unit called the 'Eighteen Riders of Yanyun,' which was active in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties and led by Luo Yi. It consisted of a total of eighteen people."
