Control your ancestors and create an immortal family starting from the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 86: Resisting the Reformation and Going Against Heaven, the World Reunites

The news spread;

No one would have expected that Cao Cao would suddenly pass away at this time, which would definitely have a fatal impact on the current situation.

Although Cao Cao had already been training Cao Ang, how was it possible for Cao Ang to quickly stabilize the situation in a short period of time?

Moreover, even Cao Cao could not completely reverse the current decline, let alone Cao Ang?
Neither Gu Chen nor Liu Bei could give up this opportunity.

For them, they are now only one step away from completely clearing the world.

February, the 13th year of Jian'an;

Liu Bei officially led his army to capture Yangzhou;

He hardly faced any major obstacles, and every time he led his troops past, almost everyone surrendered.

This move did not have any impact on the world.

Anyone can see that the Cao family today is just like the Yuan family in the past, showing signs of decline.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang did not forget to take action against Jiangdong.

He can be said to have learned the essence from the Gu family.

He did not choose to mobilize troops directly, and even completely suppressed Liu Bei's idea, unwilling to let Jiangdong unite to face foreign enemies at this time.

He simply continued to stimulate internal conflicts in Jiangdong through various means and continued to consume Jiangdong's internal strength.

At the same time, Gu Chen had already entered Yanzhou.

Including Zhang Liao of Jizhou.

It was not until now that Cao Ang fully realized how difficult the Cao family's current situation was.

Even though many aristocratic families still support the Cao family.

But it is still a drop in the bucket.

Under the tilt of the mighty trend, only a person like Gu Xi can go against the will of heaven and try to change his fate once again with his own strength.

Cao Ang is actually very outstanding.

The fact that he was able to quickly take over Cao Cao's burden and gain the recognition of countless noble families is enough to illustrate this point.

But so what?
No matter how high-spirited he is or how unwilling he is, what can he do?

In the end, there is no way to change all this.

Perhaps because he was too young, Cao Ang was unwilling to continue like this and let Gu Chen and Liu Bei devour everything left by Cao Cao.

He needs a big win;
The Cao family also needs a big victory!
He only needs one big win to turn the tide.

Even if Gu Chen and Liu Bei cannot be completely destroyed, it is enough to stabilize the hearts of the people and delay the offensive of Gu Chen and Liu Bei.

Naturally, all the ministers rejected this.

Gu Chen is a person that even Cao Cao couldn't do anything to, so how could Cao Ang be able to deal with him?
But Cao Ang's attitude was very firm.

He organized his troops and prepared horses in Yanzhou, and even used Cao Ren's strategy of having his soldiers take the "Five Stone Powder".

He personally traveled around every day to explore the terrain.

He almost used up all his potential.

I just want to defeat Gu Chen.

——However, the ending was not surprising at all.

People like Gu Chen will never suffer losses twice in the same matter.

The Five Stones Powder can indeed make the soldiers under his command forget their fear and become extremely brave.

But for Gu Chen.

There are so many ways to deal with people who have lost their minds.

As for the ambush set by Cao Ang.

Although some ambushes did work, how could they completely block Gu Chen's progress?

Looking at the people in the world today, the Gu family’s understanding of the terrain can definitely be said to be the best in the world.

When Gu Kang governed the world in the past, he had already left too many foundations for the Gu family.

And Gu Chen's personal character will not allow him to make any mistakes.

The outcome of this battle is already determined.

In the fifth month of the 13th year of Jian'an,

——Gu Chen defeated Cao Ang’s army in Jiyin and killed Dian Wei and Cao Chun, two of Cao Ang’s generals.

Nearly 30,000 enemies were killed, and countless surrendered.

One battle shocked the world!

Shanyang and Rencheng counties surrendered upon seeing the enemy's attack.

It laid the foundation for clearing Yanzhou.

At the same time, Liu Bei also finished reorganizing Yangzhou and began to march towards Xuzhou.

A majestic momentum is pouring down.

Cao Ang could only retreat again and again. No matter how unwilling he was, he could not stop all this.

Gu Yi has been watching all this silently, without taking it lightly at all.

Although it has come to this point today.

It can be said that there is no possibility for Gu Chen and Liu Bei to lose again.

But can things really be that simple?

Not necessarily!

Gu Yi remembered it very clearly. It was stated in the game's precautions that the greater the changes a family made to the original history, the stronger the correction force it would face.

What Gu Chen is doing now has far surpassed all the previous members of the Gu family.

He is trying to change the rise and fall of a dynasty.

Gu Yi still doesn’t know what kind of impact this will have on future generations.

But what he could be sure of was——

The resistance that Gu Chen has to face is definitely greater than that of all the previous members of the Gu family.

No matter what, Gu Yi must be fully prepared and must not let Gu Chen be affected under such circumstances.

This is not just about whether Gu Xi’s achievements can be fully completed;
It also involves Gu Yi's next plan.

He needed a world that had not experienced the kind of chaos in the original history to deal with the subsequent sinking of China.

Things did not go beyond Gu Yi's expectations.

Just when Gu Chen was about to mobilize his troops again, a sudden illness instantly swept over him.

And this time the disease is extremely serious.

With Gu Chen's current physical condition, even getting up became extremely difficult for him within a day.

The impact of this matter is bound to be huge.

If anything unexpected happens to Gu Chen, the forces under his command will most likely be completely unbalanced in a short period of time.

Gu Yi immediately used the medicine-curing talisman on Gu Chen.

But this matter is not destined to be that simple.

What followed was a severe drought in the Sanfu area.

This will naturally affect Gu Chen's offensive.

In this era, natural disasters are bound to cause unrest in people's hearts and even arouse fear among the people.

Fortunately, Gu Chen had a very deep foundation and never rushed to attack from the beginning to the end.

There are also people like Xun Yu and Gu Wei who are good at internal affairs.

Under the current circumstances of clean governance in all directions, it is not difficult to provide disaster relief.

But for Gu Chen.

Although these are not fatal, they are bound to affect Gu Chen's offensive.

The most important thing is——

As he went deeper into Yanzhou, the weather in the entire Yanzhou became extremely strange.

First there was a continuous downpour of rain.

It had a huge impact on the most elite cavalry under Gu Chen.

Later, every time Gu Chen attacked the city, the weather and wind direction would change drastically.

In this era when cold weapons were the main form of warfare.

The impact of this on the entire war is absolutely fatal.

Gu Yi has been paying attention to everything and has some guesses in his mind.

In fact, he had suspected before that this so-called corrective force had already arrived.

Because Cao Cao is much stronger than in the original history.

Moreover, the states and counties he occupied were far less than those in the original history!
And the most important thing is——

Gu Yi had observed Cao Cao for some time before. It was somewhat unreasonable that he could hold on for several years despite suffering from a headache and being under tremendous pressure.

Including how smoothly Sun Ce's development in Jiangdong was.

Gu Yi had suspected at the beginning that this might be the so-called correction in the dark to help Cao Sun, so as to prevent the development of things from completely beyond the original history.

Now it seems that this guess is obviously correct.

However, the previous methods were very secretive, but now they are obviously targeted.

Gu Yi was not stingy with his achievement points.

After observing for so long, he has vaguely discovered the essence of this game.

The existence of props.

This is one of the reasons why Gu family resists reform.

Of course, this also includes manpower.

An untalented young man, even with powerful tools, is not able to completely reverse the situation.

But now that Gu Chen is resisting the revision, Gu Yi no longer has such concerns.

He directly handed the Xuanji abacus to Gu Chen.

With Gu Chen's intelligence, he can definitely figure out the purpose of this prop.

It just takes some time.

As for the backlash effect of the props.

Gu Yi still has a good luck charm in his hand. Although he doesn't know how serious the backlash of this item will be, it can definitely alleviate some of the pain.

Of course, in addition to this, Gu Yi also chose to draw a lottery.

Since the Gu family has decided to be glorious forever, it is destined to resist correction.

This can also be considered an attempt by Gu Yi.

He had already made up his mind.

The word "lottery" came out of his mouth.

The next moment, a series of prompts flashed before Gu Yi's eyes.

[The draw was successful. 】

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the common item - Satiety Talisman.]

[(General) Satiety Talisman: After using, you can select a family member to keep them full for seven days.]

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining: Common-level item - Cures All Diseases Talisman. Strength Talisman.]

【.】

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Xuan-level item - Miasma-Transforming Talisman.]

[(Xuan) Miasma-Removing Talisman: After use, it can be thrown into water. Within three days, anyone who drinks the water will be free from miasma.]

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Xuan-level item - Good Luck Card and Focus Card.]

【.】

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining: Earth-level item - Spirit Jade.]

[(Earth) Spiritual Jade: After using it, you can use it to give psychological hints to family members by consuming different amounts of achievement points.]

(Note: The psychological suggestion is to make the family members have corresponding ideas. The specific achievement points consumed will vary depending on the content.)

[Current lucky value: 35%]

There are actually earth-level props again!
Looking at the series of prompts in front of him, Gu Yi's eyes lit up instantly.

Compared to the Xuanji counting sticks, the effect of this spiritual jade is obviously much more direct, and it is also more useful to the Gu family.

Can you use psychological suggestion to make the other person have ideas?

With this thing, does that mean I no longer need to control it, and it will be enough to help the entire family?
A smile immediately appeared on Gu Yi's face.

If this is true, the help this prop can bring to the Gu family is unimaginable!
But after thinking about it carefully, Gu Yi calmed down again.

It is obviously impossible to remotely control the entire family through this prop.

Not to mention the achievement points consumed.

Any choice made by the family may cause changes in history, and Gu Yi cannot keep revealing the future to his family members.

This prop will only be effective at the most critical moment.

——For example, now!
Gu Yi didn't hesitate at all and immediately took out the spiritual jade from the items.

An ancient and warm jade immediately appeared in Gu Yi's hand.

At the same time, a prompt immediately appeared in front of Gu Yi.

【Please enter the content. 】

Looking at this prompt, Gu Yi hesitated for a moment, but still chose to input the usage of the Xuanji abacus and made this thing a heirloom for the head of the Gu family.

He wanted to unify the world as soon as possible to avoid other variables.

Although Gu Yi can now protect Gu Chen from illness, he cannot help him with his life span. Gu Yi must cherish all his time.

The corresponding content instantly appeared in the prompt.

After Gu Yi chose OK, a new prompt popped up again.

[Achievement points required for current content: 100000]

【Do you want to use it immediately? 】

One hundred thousand achievement points!
No matter how determined Gu Yi was, he still couldn't help but tremble inexplicably.

After drawing ten more times, he now only has 130,000 achievement points left.

This simply drained him dry!

Although Gu Xi's achievement points have not yet been calculated, the Gu family members, including Gu Chen's generation, can also bring achievement points to themselves.

But looking at this number, Gu Yi still felt very insecure.

But he didn't hesitate for long.

I immediately chose OK.

Since you have made up your mind to fight against the correction, these are destined to be consumed, so why be reluctant?

If the Gu family wants to be glorious forever, then it is impossible to avoid correction.

This time, it was the Gu family’s first attempt to resist this so-called correction!
Yanzhou.

Early morning hours.

Gu Chen slowly woke up and immediately saw the tools that suddenly appeared on the table not far away.

This is a rather strange prop.

Its shape is similar to the Xuan Ji of today, but it has obvious differences.

The entire device is based on a jade Xuanji, with the Big Dipper pattern inlaid in the center and the twenty-eight mansions or hexagram symbols engraved on the edge;

In its grooves, there are jade counting sticks inlaid, each of which is engraved with tiny runes and is slightly shorter than ordinary counting sticks.

Gu Chen frowned almost instantly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

But the next moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and the puzzled look on his face gradually faded away. He then got down from the couch and walked to the table, gently stroking the utensils on the table with his hand.

Gu Yi has been staring at Gu Chen, wanting to see how Gu Chen plans to use this prop.

Although only a short time has passed.

But the current situation in Yanzhou is not particularly smooth.

Cao Ang inherited Cao Cao's legacy and was also very good at motivating people.

He made perfect use of the natural disasters during Gu Chen's several sieges on the city, and called it "God's favor to Cao."

With the facts before them, this method that leaned towards superstition was a godsend, which actually stabilized the Cao army, which had already been demoralized.

It even affected Gu Chen's military morale.

This is the inevitability of this era!
The influence of superstition based on prophecies and divinations is definitely not so easy to break.

The spiritual jade had obviously taken effect. Gu Chen gently stroked the Xuan Ji abacus with an extremely calm expression, as if he was constantly making plans in his mind.

Until a long time later.

Gu Chen then took some action and immediately asked someone to call his civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

He didn't say much.

It just announced that a sacrifice would be held.

Everyone had already guessed about this and it was not too strange.

That very night, Gu Chen led several guards to the surrounding mountains and forests and watched the stars on the top of the mountain.

It lasted for a whole night.

Gu Yi had no idea about astronomical phenomena, and had no idea what Gu Chen had seen or whether he had succeeded.

But in order to prevent any accidents, he used two good luck charms on Gu Chen in succession.

And then the next day, Gu Chen immediately held a sacrifice and declared among the thousands of troops that "the destiny is in Luo, and will help them defeat Cao."

The three armies shouted in unison.

Shouts pierced the sky.

This is the difference between Gu Chen and Cao Ang.

With the blessing of his huge reputation, the soldiers have absolute confidence in Du Guchen.

The army came out in full force.

Gu Chen's playing style this time is completely different from before.

He divided the entire army into several parts, each led by a trusted general, who would wait for his orders before moving.

No one could tell what Gu Chen's plan was.

But out of their trust in Gu Chen, the soldiers did not hesitate at all.

April, the 14th year of Jian'an;

——Gu Chen officially led his army into Lu State and attacked Lu County.

There was a torrential downpour and a strong wind;
The wind direction was from north to south, which made the defenders' arrows have a longer range and had a huge impact on Gu Chen's army.

Cao Ang was extremely excited about what was happening.

He even continued to spread the message that "God's will is on Cao's side" to boost the morale of the army.

However, Gu Chen seemed to have anticipated this.

He ordered Ma Chao to lead his most elite cavalry, with each man exchanging three horses, to attack Pengcheng south of Lu County, including Dongping.

At the same time, he continued to attack Lu County.

The wind never stops blowing.

Ma Chao's army came from the south, and with the help of the wind direction, the arrows of the Pengcheng defenders could hardly have any effect.

In just a few days, Pengcheng was lost.

The same is true for the other cities.

Gu Chen occupied the upper reaches of the Sishui River. As the heavy rain continued, the water level of the Sishui River continued to rise, and Lu County was in danger.

There is the example of Bai Qi flooding Yancheng in the past.

Even though Lu County's defense was as solid as a rock, Cao Ang did not dare to gamble whether Gu Chen would choose to flood Lu County regardless of casualties, so he had to retreat.

The weather changes constantly.

Gu Chen did not choose to stay, but continued to attack the city according to the changing celestial phenomena.

Not to mention Gu Yi, even Gu Chen could feel that the continuous changes in the weather were targeting him.

Heavy rains blocked the road ahead, causing mudslides and even various diseases among the soldiers.

But he always remained as determined as iron.

By using the Xuanji counting rods to make calculations, the army can avoid all risks.

And Gu Yi is also working hard.

Although he doesn't have many achievement points now, he has accumulated quite a few props during this period of time, as well as the experience left by several generations of the Gu family.

Disease prevention, terrain divination, and geomancy maps. Water diversion and canalization to open up the road ahead.
These experiences may not mean much to a person with low talent.

But for people like Gu Chen.

This is a powerful weapon!
As long as he planned properly, it would be enough for the army to avoid countless risks.

Gu Chen is definitely the family member most influenced by Gu Xi.

This may be the inheritance.

It is because of what Gu Xi said in the past when facing natural disasters, "half a step ahead of heaven", that Gu Chen is able to keep his composure when facing such a targeted celestial phenomenon.

As long as Gu Chen does not panic, the soldiers under his command will not panic either!
The only thing that worried Gu Yi was Gu Chen's health.

The Xuanji counting sticks have a backlash effect.

He no longer had the lucky charm in his hand, so all he could do was keep an eye on Gu Chen's health. If anything unexpected happened, he would use the charm to help him out of danger, regardless of how serious the illness was.

Fortunately, Gu Yi had drawn quite a few talismans that could cure any disease before.

This really helps at this time.

Word kept spreading.

The impact of this incident can be said to be no less than that of Gu Xi's suppression of the natural disasters in Kyushu in the past.

For those who know a little about astronomical phenomena, who can fail to see the strangeness of today's phenomena?
But in this situation.

However, Gu Chen was still able to go against the will of heaven.

The shock this brought to the world is unimaginable.

There are more and more rumors about Gu Chen in the world, and almost all the legends accumulated by generations of the Gu family are attributed to Gu Chen.

And as time slowly passes.

Gu Chen became more and more adept at utilizing astronomical phenomena.

August, the 14th year of Jian'an;

Gu Chen feigned defeat at Mengshan.

Cao Ang thought that too many of Gu Chen's men were injured, so he fell into the trap and led his troops in pursuit.

Encountered a mudslide in Mengshan.

Nearly 10,000 people were damaged.

Gu Chen took advantage of this opportunity to capture Mengyin and completely occupy the entire Yanzhou.

Cao Ang originally wanted to retreat to Qingzhou.

However, Liu Bei's military operations in Xuzhou were also improving, and he was approaching Langya County.

In order to prevent Qingzhou from being surrounded by both sides.

Cao Ang had no choice but to lead his army and take Liu Xie, the so-called emperor, to flee to Jizhou.

The war in Jizhou never stopped.

Although Zhang Liao's offensive was not swift, he had already captured Wei County with the support of the people.

Gu Chen was obviously determined to risk his life with Cao Ang.

After all, the celestial phenomena can affect more than just himself.

The same was true for Cao's army.

He couldn't give Cao Ang any more time to drag it out.

Gu Chen could feel the damage to his body.

Although it hasn't affected his combat effectiveness yet, it absolutely cannot continue like this.

Gu Chen didn't even try to fight for Qingzhou, which was within his reach, but went straight to Jizhou.

October;

Cao Ang was forced to retreat to Qinghe.

At the same time, Liu Bei took advantage of Gu Chen's momentum and successively captured Qingxu, and also headed towards Qinghe.

In the end, Cao Ang was unwilling to retreat again and again, and only wanted to fight to the death to live up to the reputation of the Cao family.

November;
Cao Ang personally led his army to fight against Gu Chen.

Defeated again at Imjin.

Cao Hong, Cao Zhang and others died on the battlefield one after another in order to save Cao Ang's life.

The overall situation is ultimately difficult to change.

Cao Ang could not bear the shame of the Cao family's reputation, so he committed suicide by the bank of the Zhang River.

The overall situation of the world has been completely determined.

The sky, which had been gloomy for several months, became bright again from this day on.

Gu Yi has been watching all this silently, his expression still extremely serious.

Even now it seems that the Gu family has overcome a correction.

But the price to pay is not small.

He has been completely drained.

Moreover, this effect can only be achieved with the presence of a BUG-level person like Gu Chen.

If the subsequent corrections become stronger and stronger.
So how many more crises does the Gu family face?
Can the Gu family withstand it?
Although the situation has been completely settled, Gu Yi did not feel relaxed at all.

On the contrary, my heart became even more tense.
------

"In the fourteenth year of Jian'an, there was heavy rain in Yanzhou for ten days, and the rivers overflowed.

Gu Chen attacked Cao and initially besieged Juancheng. The dike collapsed in the middle of the night and the entire camp was destroyed. He then attacked Linqiu, but a sudden thunderbolt struck and the ladders were burned.

Cao Ang rode his horse to patrol the city, pointed his halberd at the haze and shouted: "The rain washes away the armor, showing that God is blessing the Cao family!"

The three armies responded by beating their shields, the sound shook the whole area, and the morale of the troops gradually calmed down.

Later, Ran Chen observed the stars in the mountains, and then attacked Lu County again. He took advantage of the weather to seize several places in Pengcheng and occupied the banks of the Si River.

Ang was afraid that Chen would flood Lu County, so he had to withdraw his troops.

In August, Chen pretended to be defeated in Dong'e. Angsu despised Chen's tricks and sneered, "The rain has trapped the enemy, so it's time to capture him!"

He led his cavalry in pursuit and entered the narrow valley of Mengyin.

At that time, heavy rain poured down like a river from the sky, and the mountain walls roared. Chen ordered his soldiers to dig off the roots of the rocks.

In a moment, mud and rocks rushed forward like a yellow dragon covering the ground. Cao's horses were stuck in the mud and their heavy armor became a burden. Ang climbed up the rocks barefoot to escape, but his sword was submerged in the mud. Yanzhou was then safe.

When Liu Bei broke through Xuzhou, Qingzhou was shaken, and Ang fled north to Jizhou in panic.

Chen took advantage of the situation to cross the river. The people of Ji were grateful to Gu and offered grain along the way to open the city.

Ang was trapped in Hejian, and seeing that the situation was difficult to change, he was defeated by Yu Chen again in November and then fell on his sword and died.
