Chapter 24: The Scholar from a Poor Family
A third-rate recruitment order has a 99% chance of recruiting third-rate civil and military officials, a 0.99% chance of recruiting second-rate civil and military officials, and a 0.01% chance of recruiting first-rate civil and military officials.

In the early stages, before the players rise to prominence, third-rate generals can sweep across an area, so every third-rate recruitment order is priceless.

When Li Qian received the order to recruit talents, he put them to use immediately without any hesitation.

“It’s normal to recruit a third-rate general. It’s a huge profit to recruit a second-rate general. There’s only a one in ten thousand chance of recruiting a first-rate general, which is almost impossible.”

Li Qian also knew about the third-rate recruitment order, so his chances of recruiting first-rate generals were extremely slim.

“Ding, you used the third-rate talent recruitment order, and we are randomly recruiting talents for you… The talent you recruited is the first-rate general Chen Qingzhi [Han Men].”

“Chen Qingzhi is on his way.”

Li Qian’s head was buzzing.

He actually triggered a one in ten thousand probability and drew a first-rate general with a third-rate recruitment order!
Is this scientific?

Chen Qingzhi?
Famous teachers and generals should not be too arrogant, as thousands of troops will avoid the white robes!
This person is the famous White Horse Military God!

If Chen Qingzhi was recruited using the first-class recruitment order, it can be said that it was worth the money.

And recruiting Chen Qingzhi with the third-rate recruitment order would be a huge profit.

“Why are you laughing, sir?”

Deng Zhi noticed Li Qian grinning foolishly and was confused.

Li Qian realized that he had lost his composure, so he said, “I think that when the world is in chaos, it is the time for a man to make achievements. If I can get Bo Miao’s full support, I will definitely be able to achieve great things. That’s why I laughed.”

“Mingshang, you are too kind to Bo Miao.” Deng Zhi was deeply moved. “Please give me a few days. Bo Miao will lead his family to Tiance Village.”

Is Deng Zhi willing to take up a government post?
Li Qian originally planned to use both soft and hard tactics to lure Deng Zhi to Tiance Village, but he unexpectedly moved Deng Zhi unintentionally, and Deng Zhi decided to come with her family to seek refuge.

Li Qian quickly figured it out.

If a counselor believes that you are a wise leader, he will be willing to follow you until death even if you are penniless. But if he looks down on you, he would rather commit suicide than work for you.

As soon as Deng Zhi arrived, famous officials helped him manage the village’s internal affairs.

Li Qian bowed and said, “Then I will wait for Bo Miao to arrive in Tiance Village.”

Deng Zhi also returned the greeting: “Sure.”

“My lord, this weak scholar said he wants to surrender to you and help you pacify the world. I wonder where he got the courage from?”

Cheng Yaojin walked over carelessly, followed by a pale man in plain clothes. The man kept coughing and looked frail.

Wait, could he be the white-robed military god Chen Qianzhi?

Although historical records show that Chen Qianzhi was frail and not good at archery or horse riding, he didn’t look like he was about to die at any time, right?

How can he lead the White Robe Army to fight in this situation?
Perhaps sensing Li Qian’s suspicion, the man in plain clothes coughed twice and then explained: “My name is Chen Qingzhi, courtesy name Ziyun. I have caught a cold recently, so I look like this.”

It turned out to be the case.

Li Qian suddenly realized.

Chen Qingzhi was really sick.

Isn’t “Global Warring States” too realistic? The generals will get sick, and their abilities will decline after they get sick.

So, Cao Cao’s headache, and Guo Jia…

“I am a humble person, but I am willing to use the world as a chessboard, enter the game, and become a chess piece for you to command.”

Chen Qingzhi’s speech made Deng Zhi’s eyes light up.

This person’s words and deeds are quite extraordinary. At least Cheng Yaojin can’t say such words.

Li Qian was even more secretly surprised.

He found that he had misunderstood Chen Qianzhi.

Just as Deng Zhi is well known to later generations as a diplomat of Shu Han, he also led troops.

Chen Qianzhi led 7,000 white-robed soldiers across the Central Plains and conquered Heluo. His most eye-catching value was naturally his commander-in-chief.

However, Chen Qingzhi was a Confucian general, and his victory over a larger force with a smaller one was not only due to the bravery of the White Robe Army, but also to Chen Qingzhi’s wisdom.

Chen Qingzhi was born in a poor family. He followed Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan since he was young and often played chess with Xiao Yan. At that time, Xiao Yan was still an official of the Southern Qi Dynasty. Later, when Xiao Yan became emperor, Chen Qingzhi had the opportunity to display his talents. Otherwise, in the Southern Dynasty, where the Nine-Rank System was implemented and “there were no poor people in the upper ranks and no aristocrats in the lower ranks”, it would be difficult for poor people to make a name for themselves.

Of course, unlike the poor families that most people imagine, the poor families in ancient times referred to families with low social status and power, and were definitely not common people, let alone poor people…

Currently, Chen Qingzhi is in the “poor” stage, and his ability has not yet reached its peak.

Chen Qingzhi’s abilities are divided into three stages: Poor Family, White Robe, and Yearning.

[Role]: Chen Qingzhi [Poor Family]
【Character name】: Ziyun
[Grade]: First-class

Age: 30
[Level]: Level 50

[Reputation]: 0
【Official Position】: None

Commander: 83
[Army]: 27
[Intelligence]: 86
[Politics]: 75
【Charm】: 90
[Skills]: Chess game of the world [Wisdom], battlefield intuition [Wisdom], military morale encouragement [Charm]
[Equipment]: None

[Features]: Absolute Calmness [Soldier] (God-level, Chen Qingzhi and his soldiers remain calm in any situation, immune to negative states such as confusion and fear)
[Wisdom] (S-level, reading, playing chess, watching battles, leading troops, and managing government can all earn a lot of experience points)
[Special Arms]: To be unlocked

[Halo]: To be unlocked

[Story]: A famous general of the Southern Liang Dynasty, born in a poor family. The [White Robe] stage ability can be unlocked at level 72.

Chen Qianzhi’s martial arts power is only a pitiful 27 points, almost powerless.

But Chen Qianzhi is level 50, with command 83, intelligence 86, politics 75, and charisma 90, which is very scary.

If Chen Qianzhi reaches his peak, his command and intelligence will both exceed 90, and with the increase in charm, three of his five attributes will be 90+.

This is what it means to lose something in one place and gain something in another.

During his humble beginnings, Chen Qianzhi had only two characteristics, but both were extremely extraordinary.

There is no need to explain much about the god-level characteristic of “absolute calm”. An army that remains calm under any circumstances is enough to be described as terrifying.

The S-level feature “Accumulation of Strength for a Release of Power” allows Chen Qianzhi to gain a large amount of experience, reach level 72 faster, and unlock Chen Qianzhi’s second-stage abilities.

Chen Qingzhi in the white robe stage was the true white robe military god.

The special army to be unlocked must be the White Robe Army.

What shocked Li Qian even more was that Chen Qingzhi had the aura of a military general.

According to the rules of “Global Warring States”, a battlefield can only be applied to two different generals’ halos at most, namely the main general halo, the deputy general halo, and a strategist halo, also called the military advisor halo by players.

The halo effects of the main general, deputy general, and military advisor can be stacked.

Tiance Village only has Li Qian’s main general halo. If Chen Qingzhi unlocks the military general halo, there will be two haloes that can be superimposed. If there is another military advisor…

Judging from the fact that Chen Qianzhi has the aura of a military general, it seems that only first-class military generals have exclusive aura.

Then, it is very likely that only first-rate counselors have the aura of a military advisor.
