Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Li Guang; Ouyang Shuo needed to choose one out of these three to pursue.

Ouyang Shuo eliminated the old General Li Guang first, despite having plenty of confidence of finding this general. After all , he had brought along the descendant of the Wolf God, Little White.

However, Ouyang Shuo was not willing to give up on the other two generals.

For the current Shanhai City, one more general like Li Guang could not cause any breakthrough like results. On the contrary, one more god general would be enough to lift up the 4th legion corps.

As such, eliminating Li Guang first was the obvious choice.

However, Ouyang Shuo found it hard to decide between Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing; this uncle and nephew duo were the two pillars of the Han Empire.

Both of them were extraordinary generals, and even their best tactics were similar. They both liked to pierce deep into the enemy lines and grab miraculous victories; they also employed long distance attacks and encirclements.

Wei Qing was the inventor of this lightning quick battle style, while Huo Qubing made it famous.

Of course, between the two, there was still a huge difference.

Wei Qing was good at commanding the entire field, and he did not care how many men he sacrificed. He focused on strategic targets, dealing the enemy an economic blow and obtaining their resources. He would cause his opponents to lose their foundations, beating them in such a manner.

One could say that Wei Qing was a commander with a clear strategy. He was modest and humble; he loved his soldiers, and he was a really kind-hearted general.

Huo Qubing was different. He was a genius vanguard that was flexible, and he did not stick to a certain battle pattern.

During battle, he did not bother about the enemy resources. Instead, he concentrated on killing the enemy. The army just needed to take the enemy down, and they would not wait for their reinforcements and resources.

With that, he could maintain the mobility and flexibility of his own troops, ensuring that they could catch more enemies and harm more of them.

Between the two of them, each had their pros and cons.

Hence, no matter which one he acquired, they were both extremely suitable for Shanhai City.

As such, Ouyang Shuo needed to weigh the differences in the quests to recruit them.

Wei Qing's quest was to kill Xiongnu Chan Yu.

In truth, this mission had an extremely great randomness factor. Along with the fact that Ouyang Shuo only had three thousand troops and lacked any suppressive advantage, recruiting Wei Qing was difficult.

On the contrary, the recruitment quest for Huo Qubing was to reach Khentii Mountain first.

Although this road was extremely dangerous and tough, with Little White, Ouyang Shuo's chances were greater than the other Lords.

Hence, after weighing everything, Ouyang Shuo decided to choose Huo Qubing in the end.

"Choose Huo Qubing line," Ouyang Shuo said.

"System Notification: Line chosen; congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for activating the battle map teleportation. Number restricted to three thousand; teleportation begin!"

After a short delay, Ouyang Shuo and his men finally appeared on the Mobei Battlefield.

"System Notification: Welcome player Qiyue Wuyi. Descending on the main camp of the West Han east line, Daijun."

Ouyang Shuo landed in the barracks outside of Daijun City.

In the barracks, white lines shone, indicating that the player forces had descended.

At this very moment, another system notification sounded out in his ear.

"System Notification: congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi, since you are a 1st class marquis, you will receive a special compensation of 500 battle resource points. Friendly Reminder: these points can be used in the barracks or along the way to exchange for military needs. These points are extremely valuable, so please use them wisely."

"Battle resource points? Another new trick from Gaia!"

Ouyang Shuo guessed that since he had obtained 500 points, a 2nd class marquis would get 200, and a 3rd class Marquis 100.

As for a 1st class earl, they had just reached the three thousand men requirement mark, so they would receive no compensation.

Now, Ouyang Shuo felt much better inside.

Things did not end there; another system notification sounded out.

"System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi. Since you are a 1st class marquis, you are rewarded ten thousand merit points, and your battle contribution points are increased by 15%."

The battle had not even started, yet he had easily obtained ten thousand merit points as basic compensation. However, these ten thousand points seemed too little, since it could not compared to the reduction in his number of men.

Originally, Ouyang Shuo had wanted to obtain at least obtain one hundred thousand merit points from this battle.

It seemed like he only had an extremely slim chance of grabbing that many points.

As for the extra 15% battle contribution points, how much he could obtain would depend on the ability of his troops.

As expected from Gaia, it was fair and did not purposely target him.

At this point, the compensations ended.

Ouyang Shuo let Wang Feng lead the troops to rest, while he looked around the square. He wanted to observe what other strong opponents had chosen the same line as him.

Looking around, the player armies came and went; it was a bustling scene.

This was not surprising. After all, Huo Qubing was a king level presence in their eyes. In the wilderness, Lords that liked Huo Qubing could be easily grabbed and spotted.

Furthermore, this recruitment quest seemed the easiest. Naturally, more people would choose this quest line.

As expected, the battle report ended up confirming his guess.

"Battle Report: Battle of Mobei, a total of 45 Lords have joined. Huo Qubing line has 22 Lords, Wei Qing 18, and Li Guang 5."

45 Lords; this count meant that before the battle had even started, five Lords had given up.

Those who had given up probably did not hold much hopes for this battle. Sometimes, decisively giving up was also a wise choice.

As expected, Huo Qubing was the first choice of many Lords.

Around half of the Lords had chosen his quest line.

Old General Li Guang was a sad case, with only five Lords choosing him. If these five did not have any secret weapons, they would have to go into the battle blind.

"Such intense competition!"

Ouyang Shuo was filled with emotion, as he continued to search for his targets.

He truly met a few old faces.

The first was Ouyang Shuo's old rival; the one who had stood out during the auction - Sha Pojun.

He had also brought three thousand elite cavalry.

Upon closer inspection, they were different from the Zhongyuan Cavalry. They wielded the rarely seen curved knives, and even their war horses were all mongol war horses.

"Mongol Elite Cavalry?" Ouyang Shuo's eyes focused.

It seems like Sha Pojun had achieve a level of progress with the Mongol Iron Cavalry Training Manual. These three thousand elite cavalry must be the results of the training.

Three thousand mongol elite war horses, Sha Pojun was truly going all in.

A general that stood beside Sha Pojun caught Ouyang Shuo’s eyes.

Originally, Ouyang Shuo did not recognize this person.

The Han Army soldier in the barracks was the first to recognize this general.

"Lieutenant greets Commander Zhou!"

There was a commotion in the barracks.

Ouyang Shuo thought for a moment and immediately guessed the general’s identity.

"West Han famous general, Zhou Yafu?" Ouyang Shuo muttered.

Sha Pojun was truly lucky to the max. He had actually managed to obtain such a famous general through the summoning talisman.

On the topic of Zhou Yafu, his best war result was during Emperor Jing of Han's time. At that time, he had settled the mess of the seven countries. Based on the battle map time, the time of his death was less than twenty years from now.

No wonder the Han Army soldiers could recognize him.

With this person helping him, Sha Pojun could receive a level of special treatment.

Originally, Ouyang Shuo had also thought about bringing Han Xin over to pull some strings. However, thinking back to Han Xin's ending, he tossed aside that thought.

It was better that he did not raise up the sad past of this god general.

Further on this topic, Zhou Yafu was also a founding minister of West Han, and the son of Zhou Bo. Moreover, Zhou Bo had pledged his loyalty to Feng Qiuhuang after the Battle of Julu.

Originally, when the West Han entered the wilderness after the Battle of Mobei, Feng Qiuhuang would have a chance to recruit Zhou Yafu.

Who knew that Sha Pojun would recruit him through the talisman.

It was really a case of enemies often crossing paths.

"This guy is a formidable enemy!"

Ouyang Shuo did not want to look at Sha Pojun's gleeful expression, so he continued to search for other targets.

Within the Yanhuang Alliance, apart from Sha Pojun, two more had chosen the Huo Qubing line; they were Di Chen and Zhan Lang.

The cavalry that Di Chen brought also rode on mongol war horses.

As for Zhan Lang, he was a level weaker.

After all, the Jianye Region lacked good horses.

As for the Qingfu Horses in the Lianzhou Basin, they were an abnormality.

Di Chen choosing the Huo Qubing line did not surprise Ouyang Shuo. After all, Di Chen had already recruited Lianpo. If he could recruit the young genius Huo Qubing as well, he would have found a match made in heaven.

What surprised him was that Zhan Lang was actually interested in Huo Qubing.

The charm of a genius general was really different.

In truth, when Ouyang Shuo saw Di Chen and the others, they had also noticed his presence. Of course, Di Chen and the others were not happy to find him here.

Especially when Di Chen and the others noticed the Divine Martial Guards beside Ouyang Shuo.

This unit was already famous across the land, and everyone knew about it.

Under even circumstance, no one in the entire China region had the confidence to fight against the Divine Martial Guards.

"So unlucky!"

Di Chen could not hide his disappointed.

Zhan Lang smiled. However,his eyes contained a thread of fighting spirit.

On the side of Shanhai Alliance, Ouyang Shuo was obviously not alone.

Bai Hua and Xunlong Dianxue had also chosen the Huo Qubing line. Needless to say, their main generals were Zhang Liao and Qinqiong.

Comparing the two alliances, Shanhai Alliance was not at an absolute disadvantage.
