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

Chapter 92 Should I avoid his edge first? (Seeking monthly ticket)
Word kept spreading.

The people of the world thought it was normal that Gu Chen had defeated the barbarians again.

——Gu Chen will not lose!

This has become a consensus throughout the world.

What really concerns them is Gu Chen's physical condition, which has almost become something that everyone in the world cares about.

When Gu Chen returned to Chengdu.

The people of Chengdu knelt at the city gate, and the three most prestigious elders announced the public opinion.

Please ask Gu Chen to return to Luoyang.

No more running around the world and fighting on the battlefield.

The people's hearts are like water.

The Han Dynasty is now in a period of vigorous development, and people all over the world are living a good life. No one does not hope that Gu Chen can live longer.

But it is precisely because of this that Gu Chen cannot stop.

Everyone is mortal.

Sooner or later he was bound to leave.

Rather than just trying to save his own life, it would be better to help the big man completely resolve all potential crises he can find before he dies.

This is Gu Chen’s most determined idea now.

September, the twelfth year of Zhangwu;

Gu Chen left Yizhou again and rushed to Hanzhong.

In addition to his daily inquiries into local administration, Gu Chen also gradually began to discover talents.

Although he was always outside.

But the internal development of the Han Dynasty never stopped.

The establishment of "Beginner's Learning", including the "Book Collection Pavilion", is still ongoing.

Although no concrete results have been shown so far.

But this is a very long-term plan. Only when the national strength of the Han Dynasty is fully restored can the changes be fully felt.

Gu Chen is now also using his reputation to publicize this matter.

Invisibly, the seeds of this idea were planted in the hearts of people everywhere.

Of course, Gu Chen would not forget to cultivate the family members.

The seventh generation of the Gu family has already blossomed and borne fruit.

Before, he taught those in the clan who focused on martial arts, but now he teaches those who are good at domestic affairs.

November;
Gu Chen discovered in Hanzhong that a powerful family had hidden their own army in the deep mountains of Hanyi - they would be destroyed if they were attacked.

Then abolish the major families in Hanzhong.

There was no mercy at all and all the families involved were dealt with.

He also took the opportunity to punish nearly ten corrupt officials in Hanzhong.

If we say that when the Han Dynasty was just beginning to revive, what Gu Chen did was a large-scale purge.

This time, he conducted a more detailed investigation.

Gu Chen stayed in Hanzhong for several months.

Until February of the 13th year of Zhangwu;
——He then left Hanzhong again and rushed to Jiangdong.

Different from other prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty.

Today, the situation of the aristocratic families in Jiangdong is still extremely complicated.

This was also the main reason why Gu Chen chose Guan Yu to take charge of Jiangdong.

Even after Gu Chen's purge, the connections between the Jiangdong clans are still very deep.

The environment and various factors have created this situation.

Although their current strength is not strong, this kind of community of interests is always a risk.

Previously, because the Han Dynasty was just beginning and the situation was not completely stable, Gu Chen did not take drastic measures to solve all the problems.

Now that the time has come, he will not hold back.

The Jiangdong nobles were naturally terrified by Gu Chen's arrival.

Their fear of Gu Chen has been completely ingrained in their bones.

Gu Chen did not make any special moves.

He simply asked people to secretly investigate the administration of officials in various parts of Jiangdong through the people as usual, including whether any major families had violated the rules he had set in the past.

Although the Jiangdong nobles had already made a lot of preparations for this.

However, despite Gu Chen's absolute reputation, some situations were still discovered.

The thirteenth year of Zhangwu.

Gu Chen dismissed nearly twenty officials in Jiangdong and beheaded seven of them.

He also dealt with three large families who disobeyed Gu Chen's order and wanted to take back their original land.

They were exiled to the Jiangdong swamps, Minyue mountains and other places to reclaim wasteland.

When the news spread, Jiangdong was shocked.

The fear of Gu Chen among the major families has reached its peak.

Afterwards, Gu Chen issued orders to transfer some large families from their original places of origin and to carry out more detailed decentralization to create conflicts.

To gradually undermine the common interests of the Jiangdong nobles from within;
Chaos in Jiangdong!

Gu Chen's tough approach exceeded everyone's expectations.

But what if they saw what Gu Chen was thinking?

Looking at the world today, who dares to stop Gu Chen?
No matter how unwilling they were, these Jiangdong nobles had no choice but to accept it.

But Gu Chen’s methods are not limited to these.

Although he had already made a judgment on the situation in Jiangdong, when he personally came to this land again, he also sensed the undercurrents hidden in the darkness of Jiangdong.

——Shanyue, so strong!
As one of the branches of Baiyue in the pre-Qin period.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered Nanyue and Minyue, some Yue people retreated to the mountains south of the Yangtze River and gradually formed the "Shanyue" of today.

After these years of development.

Shanyue's strength has naturally improved slightly.

But according to Gu Chen's judgment, no matter how much they improve, it is impossible for them to reach the current level.

Although Gu Chen is a fierce general who charges into battle, he is also extremely meticulous in his thinking.

I immediately noticed something was wrong through this slight abnormality.

He immediately sent someone to investigate.

If you don’t check, you won’t know. Once you check, even Gu Chen gets a little angry.

It turned out that just before he entered Jiangdong, the old Jingzhou nobles and many Jiangdong nobles offered benefits to the Shanyue leader, reached a cooperation with him, and sent their children and private soldiers to Shanyue.

Just to avoid Gu Chen's reckoning.

———The method of restoring the family will be carried out after Gu Chen’s death.

This was indeed a good idea. At least it really allowed him to avoid Gu Chen’s reckoning.

But they never thought that this move would have consequences.

People will change with the environment!

Even if the children of the aristocratic families who have received a good education from the Han people will not easily assimilate, the private soldiers in their families are destined to change with the environment.

Including the knowledge and technology they brought.

It will also make Shanyue’s overall strength continue to grow stronger!

Gu Chen was furious!
Even Gu Yi forgot how many years it had been since Gu Chen was this angry.

These people's actions have obviously touched Gu Chen's sore spot.

Fortunately, he discovered it this time.

Otherwise, if Shan Yue continues to develop in this way, after he passes away in the future, these people will definitely become one of the deadly threats to the Han Dynasty!

Gu Chen did not hesitate at all and immediately sent people to investigate thoroughly.

At the same time, he personally led his army to remote areas of Danyang, Kuaiji and other counties.

This battle is inevitable.

Gu Chen's methods of dealing with other barbarians had already spread, not to mention that there were still descendants of noble families among the Shanyue who had a mortal feud with Gu Chen.

But they also know Gu Chen's methods.

He would never engage in a head-on battle with Gu Chen.

Instead, he used his familiarity with the terrain and various environmental factors to gradually delay Gu Chen.

They just want to drag Gu Chen to death!
This is indeed an extremely effective method.

Even if Gu Chen is extremely capable, it is impossible for him to solve the problem of terrain.

The Shanyue adopted the tactic of "the enemy retreats, we advance; the enemy advances, we retreat", and relied on geographical advantages including the unique miasma in the mountains and forests of Jiangdong to stop Gu Chen.

——But they ultimately underestimated Gu Chen.

From the beginning to the end, Gu Chen was not a fierce general who only knew how to charge and fight.

He just observed the terrain and immediately formulated a specific strategy.

Establish defenses before the four states.

The entire Shanyue was trapped in the mountains, cutting off Shanyue’s contact with the outside world.

Although the Shanyue people had an agricultural culture, it was still impossible for them to ensure absolute self-sufficiency in food.

This is the inevitable disadvantage of living in the mountains!
At the same time, Gu Chen did not give up his attack on people's hearts.

The Shanyue people wanted to use the terrain to limit the siege of the Han army.

But Gu Chen doesn't need to be besieged!
He only needs to infinitely compress Shanyue's living space, which will be enough to fundamentally disintegrate Shanyue's interior!
A peaceful and prosperous era is always a person's greatest fantasy.

The current trend of reform in the world not only makes the private soldiers of the aristocratic families yearn for it, but even within the Shanyue people there are people who yearn for the existence of the Han Dynasty.

After all, they underestimated Gu Chen.

The fact that he has been able to survive such a chaotic world and survive to this day is enough to show how terrifying Gu Chen is.

The war did not last long.

Under the tremendous pressure brought by Gu Chen, the chaos within Shanyue came much earlier than expected.

Less than two months later, chaos broke out within the Shanyue.

But even so, Gu Chen did not rush to attack, but just steadily compressed the living space of Shanyue.

Even at this point, he still maintains the character of doing everything to the extreme.

———Impeccable!
Anyone who fights Gu Chen head-on, no matter how talented or strong he is, will feel this extreme despair.

Gu Chen is a machine without any shortcomings.

It would be a pipe dream to want to defeat Gu Chen when he has no advantage at all in the front.

Tianmu Mountains.

Seeing his situation becoming increasingly dire, Shanyue leader Zu Kang's face was filled with murderous intent. He could no longer control himself and roared, "This cannot go on!"

"I will personally lead the troops to attack Gu Chen!"

He was completely angry.

This ever-shrinking living space has seriously threatened his position.

He absolutely could not tolerate this continuing.

Upon hearing this, Cai Yao's expression changed immediately, and he quickly said, "Master Zong, you absolutely cannot do this!"

He is currently the most outstanding son of the Cai family in Jingzhou.

It was precisely because of this that Cai Mao sent him into the Tianmu Mountains.

He spoke of the various rumors about Gu Chen with a very serious expression, trying to completely suppress Zu Kang's thoughts.

But now that things have come to this, how can Zukang tolerate it any longer?
Everyone has selfish motives!
For him.

Even if he could really guard against Gu Chen, if his status as the commander-in-chief was gone by then, it would be better to give it a try!
And who can be sure that he will lose?
Those who can reach this position today are all arrogant and proud.

Moreover, the Shanyue leader also leads the great wizard among the Shanyue.

Faith will give him the greatest confidence.

"I am the chieftain of our tribe. The mountain gods and our ancestors will protect me!" Zu Kang shouted, staring coldly at Cai Yao with murderous intent in his eyes. "You have brought disaster to our Shanyue people."

"If you don't fight in this battle, I will use your blood for a blood sacrifice!"

In an instant, Cai Yao's expression changed.

Although he had thousands of words in his heart, he couldn't say them out loud, so he could only nod silently.

Zu Kang then smiled.

Afterwards, he immediately held a blood sacrifice in the mountains.

The power of prophecies and superstitions is perfectly demonstrated at this time.

Although the situation was difficult, due to their absolute belief in their faith, the blood sacrifice gradually calmed the Shanyue people's hearts.

This is exactly the effect Zu Kang wanted.

Afterwards, he took advantage of his absolute understanding of the terrain and launched a surprise attack on Gu Chen while his army was blocked at a narrow pass.

The Shanyue people have extremely strong physical fitness.

In the original history.

The Danyang Army, which was considered the most elite under Sun Quan's command, was composed almost entirely of Shanyue people.

It’s just that the present is different from the original history.

In the original history, Sun Quan spent a huge price to deal with the Shanyue people. It consumed a huge amount of manpower and time, and in the end he could only barely reach a balanced relationship of semi-rule and semi-cooperation with the Shanyue people.

But what Gu Chen has to do now is completely different.

He wanted to completely control Shanyue and completely restrict Shanyue's development space.

And Gu Chen also has time requirements.

He didn't know how long he could live, so he never thought about spending too long to solve this matter!

There is already a fundamental difference here!

Zukang's movements were extremely fast.

You have lived in the Tianmu Mountains for generations, and you are already familiar with the terrain of the entire mountain range.

He personally led the elite troops.

He climbed up the mountain with the intention of directly decapitating Gu Chen.

That night.

The stars are dim and the night is dark.

"Report!!!"

An anxious shout broke the silence of the Han army camp.

"Report to Lord Gu, the enemy is invading!"

After hearing this report, the expressions of all the soldiers present changed.

Surprise attack?

Although it was hard to believe that someone in the world would dare to show off his skills in front of Gu Chen, the generals immediately asked Gu Chen to withdraw temporarily.

"Lord Gu, our army has not yet arrived in full force. I am willing to take care of the aftermath. Please, Lord Gu, retreat to the center of the army immediately."

"I am also willing to take care of the aftermath!!!"

"Please, Lord Gu, please stay out of the enemy's way for a while. We are willing to help you clean up the mess!"

"."

There wasn't a trace of fear on the faces of the generals, only worry about Gu Chen.

The Han army is currently trapped in a narrow passage.

The army was unable to arrive in full force due to the terrain. Now that the enemy has switched from defense to offense, how could they not worry about Gu Chen's safety?

But Gu Chen's expression remained calm throughout.

He just stared at the generals, and when they had all finished speaking, he said calmly, "Shall I avoid his attack first?"

His tone was very light.

But the pressure on people has not diminished at all.

For a moment, all the generals were stunned.

Gu Chen smiled faintly, then stood up leisurely, his eyes flashing with fierce fighting spirit again, without any nonsense, he said in a deep voice:

"Get my gun!!!"

How could he not have thought that the Shanyue people would definitely counterattack before their death?
The habits of the Shanyue people, including the surrounding terrain.

Gu Chen had already investigated it thoroughly.

He personally led the vanguard to this narrow passage, deliberately exposing the flaw to Zu Kang again.

In fact, Gu Chen had already sent his elite troops who were best at climbing mountains and hiding to guard the entrances to each valley.

As long as Zukang falls into the trap and attacks, he will definitely not return.

No one would be willing to be slowly eaten away.

Zu Kang would definitely choose to fight hard before the outcome was completely determined.

——This is Gu Chen’s judgment of human nature!

The soldiers were completely confused, they had no idea about this.

In their eyes, the army is still behind.

They were completely unaware of Gu Chen's arrangements and instinctively worried about him.

After all, Gu Chen is old.

But looking at Gu Chen's expression, the soldiers did not dare to say anything more.

On the contrary, under Gu Chen's example, the blood in their hearts was fully aroused.

As the guards brought Gu Chen's armor and silver spear over.

The generals showed no fear at all and knelt before Gu Chen, shouting in unison: "We are willing to fight to the death with Lord Gu, and remain loyal to him until death!!!"

"I am willing to fight to the death with Lord Gu, and remain loyal to him until death!!!"

"I am willing to fight to the death with Lord Gu, and remain loyal to him until death!!!"

"."

The shouts resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Gu Chen held the spear that he was so familiar with, a hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

"die?"

He shook his head slightly, slowly stood up and walked out of the tent. Listening to the sounds of fighting outside, he looked up at the sky: "Except for God, who can take me, Gu Chen?"

——This is the confidence of the Gu family’s children!
Although Gu Chen is steady.

But the invincible spirit in his heart has not disappeared.

That is the ambition of a hero who looks down upon the world!!!
The war begins instantly!

Although the Han army seems to be in the minority now, they are actually elite soldiers who are good at fighting.

Even in the face of surprise attack.

The morale of these people has never been broken.

Gu Chen's name has given too many people unparalleled self-confidence.

Especially after seeing Gu Chen wearing the armor himself.

This effect is even worse.

With Mr. Gu here, how could we lose?

Being able to fight on the battlefield with Mr. Gu, what difference does it make even if I die?

Mr. Gu will take good care of their families.

Even if they die, they will bring supreme glory to their families!

The impact that this unshakable belief can bring is hard for others to imagine!
Zheng! ! !
Zheng! ! !
Zheng! ! !
The sounds of clashing weapons were heard everywhere.

The deafening shouts and cries of killing attracted countless forest birds in the silent night.

Zukang was completely confused.

He really couldn't imagine that the Han army could still burst out with such fighting power under such a surprise attack.

The Han army's will seemed to be even more resolute than theirs, having just undergone a blood sacrifice.

How could he understand?
Blood sacrifices to ancestors and mountain gods do strengthen their beliefs.

But the Han army’s faith is now in the world!

And he is still on this battlefield, leading them to charge!

Fire all over the place.

This fire was not set by the Shanyue Army, but by people sent by Gu Chen.

In the quiet night.

This was the most conspicuous signal to the Han troops lurking in all directions.

Gu Chen obviously wanted to completely resolve the Shanyue War through this battle.

He charged at the front.

Every enemy he faced was unable to stop him and would be pierced by him within a few moves.

——Blood is flying!

In the reflection of the firelight, the drops of blood looked like shooting stars, shining with bright red light.

It even dyed Gu Chen's white hair red.

But the more he did this, the more it would increase others' fear of him.

Is that human being?
Isn’t it rumored that Gu Chen is old and will not live long?
Is this the fighting power that a man in his prime can possess?

How could they possibly understand Gu Chen’s terror?
The passage of time has indeed affected Gu Chen's fighting ability.

But it only transformed him from being the invincible one in one dazzling era to being the invincible supreme one in another!

The Shanyue people are indeed strong.

But even if they are physically strong, how can they be stronger than those generals who have left their names in history?
Compared with Gu Chen's previous opponents, these people are still far behind.

Zukang was completely furious.

He rushed forward like mad, trying to stop Gu Chen.

But how could he be Gu Chen's opponent?

As Gu Chen killed several Shanyue commanders one after another, he shot Zu Kang to the ground with another shot.

The situation is completely doomed!
Cai Yao and other remnants of the old clans in Jingzhou had no idea about this battle and wanted to retreat immediately.

But it was too late.

Although Gu Chen's original arrangements could not completely control all the important places.

But the moment the fire started, they had already changed their positions.

These people are the current elite of the Han Dynasty.

How could they make a wrong judgment about such a clear situation?

The Shanyue army's retreat was completely blocked.

And they have to face siege from all sides.

A great reckoning has begun.

Gu Chen showed no mercy to the remnants of the old clans in Jingzhou. They had to face the consequences of completely angering Gu Chen.

As for Zukang, the leader of the Shanyue tribe.

Gu Chen would not show mercy either.

He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to completely eliminate the threat posed by Shanyue.

And as these forces with the strongest resistance fell.

The entire Shanyue has completely given up resistance.

Gu Chen easily led his army into the heart of the Tianmu Mountains, and then began to implement the system he had already thought of.

He divided the Shanyue into three parts according to their different customs;
—Those who are good at farming;
All of them were moved to Danyang and a separate county was established.

Divide them fundamentally and completely block their path to development.

And for those who are good at hunting;
It is still located in the Tianmu Mountains.

Gu Chen appointed special officials to allow them to exchange prey for daily necessities, and kept detailed records of each person.

This is definitely a killer move.

Under the condition of insufficient productivity, Shanyue will only become weaker.

And those who are good at farming will gradually be assimilated into the Han culture.

As long as the big man can remain stable, it won't even take long.

Word kept spreading.

When they heard that Gu Chen had completely wiped out the Shanyue in less than half a year, and even eliminated the remnants of the old clans in Jingzhou.

——Jiangdong is shocked!
All the noble families in Jiangdong knew how powerful the Shanyue were.

Who could have expected that Gu Chen would be able to wipe them out in such a short time?
And what will become of the remnants of the old clans of Jingzhou!
This is news that will terrify all the nobles and powerful people in the world.

In fact, Gu Yi guessed.

The reason why Gu Chen acted so ruthlessly this time seemed to be that he wanted to take this opportunity to intimidate some of the nobles in the world who still had disloyal intentions.

It is to make them all understand that times have completely changed.

He will not allow the big man to go back to his old ways again!
Ps: It’s the end of the month, I’m begging for a monthly ticket.
