Chapter 588: One hundred and eight heroes of Tiangang and Earth (Part 2)
From the beginning, Qin Hao had low expectations for the military generals list. After all, even the rankings given by the system were not absolute, let alone those ranked by mere celebrities?
Celebrities are ranked based on their performance and reputation, while the system is ranked based on basic force. However, basic force does not mean everything. After all, skills are king.
Since it is impossible to be absolutely fair, what is the point of famous experts launching these lists?
Originally, Qin Hao was still a little surprised and confused, but after seeing the general list this time, he was basically sure of the famous master's intentions.
"Famous masters are relying on a small military commander list to promote the progress of martial arts throughout the era!" Qin Hao exclaimed in his heart.
As we all know, it is extremely rare for a grandmaster to be born in peaceful times, but it is not uncommon for great masters to be born in troubled times.
Is this because there are not enough outstanding people in peacetime?
of course not.
In peaceful times, when people live and work in peace and contentment, the number of warriors is small, and there is a lack of competition, how can masters be born?
Things are different in troubled times.
In troubled times, wars are raging, and people's lives are like dogs. If you don't work hard to become stronger, you don't know when you will die. And in such an environment, everyone is naturally striving to be the first.
Now is a great era when a hundred schools of thought contend, a hundred flowers bloom, and martial arts flourish.
Nowadays, the trend of practicing martial arts has spread. Almost everyone in aristocratic families practices martial arts, and private families have also opened major martial arts schools. The number of people practicing martial arts has increased exponentially.
Among so many warriors, the number of generals born is also huge. How can it be included in a general list?
But the famous masters use the general list to include the world's heroes.
It is very normal for warriors to fight each other and challenge each other. Now that the list of famous generals is released, the scope of the battle has been reduced to a mere seventy-two people.
It is conceivable how fierce the competition will be on the military generals list in the future.
The more intense the competition, the more powerful will be born.
This can be regarded as an indirect promotion of the prosperity of martial arts throughout the era.
The generals list is destined to change frequently. After all, people can challenge to be on the list and improve their rankings, so famous experts will update the generals list every other month.
In comparison, the changes in the literati list, which uses pen and ink as the battlefield, are much smaller, but they are also updated every year.
Famous experts rely on updating the list to maintain the fairness of the list, so they are not afraid of being criticized for incorrect rankings.
After all, if you make a mistake once, you can correct it later. If you keep making mistakes or deliberately targeting someone, no one will recognize it over time.
After knowing Mingjia's intention, Qin Hao also got to know Mingjia again and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The Yin and Yang family instigated the Yellow Turban rebellion, destroyed the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and ushered in the troubled times. Famous people also relied on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking to stir up the world.
"Even the famous masters with weak sense of presence are so powerful. There is really no one in the hundreds of schools who is simple." Qin Hao sighed.
Qin Hao didn't know whether it was intentional or not. The rankings in the front were quite fair, but the rankings in the back were very weak.
Even if the artificial ranking is wrong, it is normal. Although Qin Hao understands this, he cannot tolerate it when it is so obvious.
Hua Xiong, who was killed by Guan Yu Wenjiu, was ranked above Xu Chu on the general list. Is this possible?
Of course it's impossible, but this time it happened, and there were so many of them.
Perhaps due to limited intelligence, the seventy-two people on the list this time are basically all generals who performed well in the battle with the Yellow Turbans.
There is no problem with the quality of the generals on the list, but there is a big problem with the ranking.
Generals such as Hua Xiong, Li Jue, and Guo Si were overestimated because they were under the command of Dong Zhuo, the most powerful prince, and received the aura bonus from him.
Generals such as Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou were underestimated again, and the famous players did not correctly judge their due strength.
In addition, many people were omitted. Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Wei Yan and others were strong enough to be on the list, but their reputations were not obvious and they were omitted.
There are a lot of problems with this list. Qin Hao estimates that it will have to be re-edited at least five or six times before this list of military commanders can truly deserve it.
Of course, the people at the top of the pyramid were not greatly affected. After all, their strength was recognized. If famous experts even ranked them wrong, they would not be worthy of being in charge of the Dragon and Tiger Ranking.
There is a big difference between the top ten and Qin Hao's mind. Gongsun Xuanyuan, Chi You, and Xiong Kuohai can all be in the top ten, but they failed to make the list this time.
Zhang Sheng and Zhang Sanfeng teamed up to draw with Li Yuanba, but due to their sensitive identities and the fact that it was a foot battle, neither of them made the list.
Considering that this list is compiled by famous experts and will be updated every month in the future, Qin Hao will not be too harsh.
The top ten in this general list are:
1. Li Yuanba
There is only one reason why Li Yuanba is on the list, and that is because he defeated Xiang Yu in public.
Regarding Li Yuanba's other achievements, such as the unprecedented killing of thousands of people, the killing of powerful generals such as Xu Ding, and the killing of several Qiang leaders by one person, these were not even mentioned on the list.
Because defeating Xiang Yu alone was enough for Li Yuanba to convince the public and gain the title of the best general in the world.
2. Xiang Yu
Needless to say, Xiang Yu's battle deeds have been adapted into countless versions and sung by actors in various states and counties.
Except for the time he lost to Li Yuanba, Xiang Yu had no defeats, and that time also caused a lot of controversy, and famous experts also had different views on it.
Famous experts admit that Li Yuanba is the best in the world, but they think that between him and Xiang Yu, although Li Yuanba won that battle, it does not mean that Xiang Yu is necessarily weaker than him.
Qin Hao saw this and sighed sincerely: "The famous master gave Xiang Yu a fair evaluation."
Anyone who witnessed that battle knows that although Xiang Yu lost in terms of the outcome of that battle, he definitely could not be considered a loser in the process.
Without the influence of external factors, Li Yuanba could not win, and there were so many people who wanted Xiang Yu to lose, so Li Yuanba won and Xiang Yu lost.
3. Yuwen Cheng-du
4. Li Cunxiao
The third reason was given to Yuwen Chengdu because experts believed that his record in fighting six generals alone was higher than that of Li Cunxiao fighting Xiang Yu alone. After all, Xiang Yu who fought against Li Cunxiao was no longer the best general in the world.
Qin Hao wanted to curse when he saw this comment.
Li Yuanba affirmed Xiang Yu, but now Li Cunxiao denies Xiang Yu. This attitude is a bit strange!
Famous experts can see Xiang Yu's true strength. Naturally, it is impossible not to see what level Li Cunxiao's strength will reach if he fights Xiang Yu alone and is not defeated.
Qin Hao probably made this arrangement just to cover up the fact that he was speaking for Xiang Yu.
But since you famous people have launched a list, don't be afraid of offending people. You don't want to offend anyone, so why are you still ranking on the list?
