"Ding! Congratulations, host, for unifying the continent and becoming its ruler!"
After the territory of the Great West Empire was completely occupied, Lin Yi received a message from the system immediately, and a golden light exploded in his mind.
This startled Lin Yi, who was reading the memorials, and he instantly became alert.
Before you know it, you've unified the continent! You're definitely one of the best emperors out there, so the system's rewards must be amazing!
Upon clicking, it was indeed completely red!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for unifying the entire Central Continent and obtaining the title of Lord of the Continent. Rewards include the top talent Zhuge Liang, a 500,000- Tiger Step Army Legion, advanced steelmaking techniques, and some steelmaking technology."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully destroying the Great West Empire by subduing others with martial prowess. You are rewarded with one of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons, the Liangzhou Tripod Cauldron, the poet Du Fu, and 300,000 Liangzhou Army!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully destroying the Frostwest Empire by subduing others with martial prowess. Reward: One of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons, the Yongzhou Tripod Cauldron; acquisition of the top talent Li Bai; reward: 300,000 Yongzhou Army."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for Win People Over with Virtue and successfully intimidating the Queen of Xinma, gaining the support of General Zheng Chenggong and the 100,000- Zheng Family Navy."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for Win People Over with Virtue..."
"..."
In an instant, the system screen was flooded with messages, and the reward Lin Yi received made his eyes light up with envy—it was an absolutely astonishing reward.
If you have no prior experience, you can take off just by relying on these rewards.
Not only did they gain an army of nearly a million men, but they also acquired the top talent Zhuge Liang, two large cauldrons, and an advanced steelmaking method.
Let's not even talk about the advanced steelmaking method; we couldn't get it even after destroying most of the continent, but now it's suddenly available.
With this thing, the Red-Coat Cannon will no longer be a problem at all, and it can even be comprehensively improved and enhanced, so this thing is of great significance.
As for the steelmaking processes that came with it, that's also interesting. It shows some basic steel applications, indicating that it's becoming increasingly modernized.
Then came these two Nine Tripod Cauldrons. With the Yongzhou Tripod Cauldron and the Liangzhou Tripod Cauldron, he would essentially have four large tripods.
After conquering a few more countries, the Nine Tripod Cauldrons will be complete, which seems to be just around the corner.
Lin Yi was starting to look forward to it. He wondered if, once he had collected Nine Tripod Cauldrons, a golden pillar of light would appear in the sky, and he would ascend to heaven.
Finally, Lin Yi looked at the three individuals who had been rewarded and couldn't help but marvel. He laughed and said, "One Zhuge Liang was already a huge win, and now they've also given us Li Bai Du Fu. This has elevated management and culture to a whole new level!"
Let's not even talk about Zhuge Liang; he's the man who single-handedly brought Shu Han to the point of the Three Kingdoms period.
If it weren't for his comprehensive talents and top-notch strategies, Liu Bei would not have been able to survive Cao Cao's powerful offensive, and even launch several counterattacks, dragging Cao Cao into a quagmire of chaotic warfare.
This is the impact of a top-tier strategist; his abilities were among the best in the Three Kingdoms period, without exception.
Even though some in later generations criticized him for his shortcomings in military affairs, his strategic thinking and overall command are absolutely commendable. Without him, Liu Bei might have perished much earlier.
Not to mention his numerous Northern Expeditions later on, which further demonstrated his abilities. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes, and he ultimately failed.
Now that the system has rewarded him, he can definitely use all his knowledge to fulfill his ideals, build his career, and become famous throughout the starry sky.
In this way, he would have obtained almost half of the top figures in the Three Kingdoms, and it wouldn't be long before he could completely control the rest.
After all that, he still saved the Three Kingdoms himself.
As for Li Bai and Du Fu, these two great poets, the "Poet Immortal" and "Poet Sage," need no introduction. They are renowned throughout history and have become legendary figures who are still talked about today.
With their presence, the cultural level of the Great Liang Empire could be greatly and rapidly advanced, thus achieving a higher level of poetry appreciation.
Then there were the remaining armies, totaling 1.1 million troops, of which 600,000 were from two provinces. These were not particularly famous troops; they were probably just ordinary soldiers.
The only thing worth noting is the 500,000 Tiger Step Army he rewarded himself with after unifying the continent. This was one of Liu Bei's elite troops, known as a super-strong infantry force.
This army was one of the established armies within Liu Bei's group. Later, Jiang Wei relied on it to withstand Sima Yi's attacks, and its combat effectiveness was self-evident.
The key point is that Jiang Wei didn't have 500,000 Tiger Step Army at that time, but now he has them, which greatly enhances his combat power. Coupled with the powerful equipment of the Great Liang Empire, the effect is even more extraordinary.
In short, this reward is definitely the most powerful one among all the previous rewards.
This made Lin Yi smile. This was definitely a huge win. Not only did he gain so much territory, but he also acquired so many troops and advanced steelmaking techniques.
This kind of situation is absolutely desirable.
Tian Feng, watching from the side, was dumbfounded and couldn't help but mutter, "Your Majesty, what good thing has happened that makes you so happy? Could it be that one of the concubines in the harem has made a move?"
Recently, due to the issue of the Great Liang Empire's succession, court officials pressured the emperor to marry four virtuous and capable concubines. Could there be good news now?
"What are you thinking? His Majesty already knows the answer; it shouldn't be a problem with the harem," Guo Jia said irritably.
He knew a little about this, because the emperor had once said that his physique was so strong that his lifespan was much longer than that of ordinary people, and that it would take more time for him to have children.
Moreover, the Emperor doesn't seem to care much about this issue, which confirms the saying that he will live a long life; otherwise, he would definitely not be so relaxed.
Only he has a long lifespan, so he doesn't have to worry about the issue of succession.
Upon hearing his explanation, Tian Feng nodded and exclaimed, "Who would have thought that someone's body would be so incredibly strong? It's a problem too. This is the first time I've ever seen anything like it."
"But the Emperor lives such a long life, I wonder if I, Tian Feng, can withstand it all?"
Cough cough!
At this moment, Lin Yi interrupted the two, saying irritably, "You two are quite carefree, aren't you? Looks like I really need to give you more responsibilities, otherwise you'd have time to chat."
"My lord, please don't!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Jia immediately wailed, "If this adds to the burden, who can handle it?"
He chuckled dryly, "Your Majesty, we were just curious. We didn't know why you were laughing so happily; we meant absolutely nothing by it."
