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

Chapter 71 Jia Xu Returns and Raids Longyou

Liangzhou.

When Gu Wei received the message from Gu Chen, he was stunned.

"They took Wudu so quickly?"

He whispered to himself, somewhat incredulously.

Is this still my younger brother?
Having not seen each other for many years, Gu Wei's impression of his brother Gu Chen is still the same as it was back then.

Gu Chen is indeed the worst-performing child in the entire family.

Who could have imagined that in just a few years, there would be such changes?

Gu Wei was quite happy about this.

He immediately went to see Huangfu Song and told him the news.

"General, Ziyan has already captured Wudu."

Hearing this, Huangfu Song was stunned for a moment, and found it hard to believe: "How could it be so fast?"

Gu Wei smiled and nodded.

Upon seeing this, Huangfu Song couldn't help but take a deep breath, his complex expression becoming even more intense. He sighed, "She is truly worthy of being the descendant of Lord Gu, to possess such talent."

Gu Wei handed him the letter from Gu Chen.

Huangfu Song looked at it carefully, his expression suddenly changing: "Young Master, are you going to follow the strategy of the loyal and martial marquis in the past?"

In the letter, Gu Chen asked them to contain Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops from the front.

The current situation in Liangzhou is exactly the same as it was back then.

——Ma Teng and Han Sui seized control of Longyou;
Taking advantage of the terrain in Longyou and Ma Chao's bravery, they blocked Huangfu Song's army.

Li Jue and Guo Si established themselves in Anding County.

Huangfu Song was attacked from both front and back, which is the fundamental reason why Huangfu Song is now unable to move forward.

Huangfu Song came from a military family, and he immediately guessed Gu Chen's intention just by seeing the content of the letter.

"good."

Gu Wei also nodded slightly, "I guess Zi Yan thinks so."

"No, absolutely not!"

Huangfu Song's expression changed drastically, and he said anxiously, "Sir, please inform the young master immediately. The situation is different now than it was in the past."

"Ma Chao's bravery far surpasses that of Wei Xiao in the past."

"If you, young master, venture across Longshan and encounter Ma Chao, you will surely be doomed."

"With Li Jue and Guo Si by our side, it will be difficult for us to fully exert our strength to attack Longyou."

"If we are not careful, our situation will be over."

Huangfu Song's tone was very serious.

He is the kind of military commander who takes steady and cautious actions.

Although Gu Xiao’s battles in the past can be called legendary, looking back at the past and present, how many people can compare to Gu Xiao?

How could he feel at ease?

But Gu Wei simply shook his head, looked at Huangfu Song and sighed, "General, don't worry too much. I can handle Li Jue and Guo Si."

"As for whether Ziyan's surprise attack can succeed."

He paused for a moment and did not continue. Instead, he looked at Huangfu Song and asked, "General, what do you think, considering the terrain of Longyou?"

"If we attack by force, how long will it take to pacify the country?"

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Song fell silent.

Gu Wei just stared at him and continued, "Great chaos has broken out in the world, and wars are raging in the Central Plains."

"If my prediction is correct, the situation in the Central Plains will definitely change drastically after this battle."

"As long as the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu win."

"We are trapped in Liangzhou. How should we deal with it?"

His tone was very calm.

But these questions were like needles that pierced Huangfu Song's heart.

They really didn't have much time left.

No matter what, they must seize this opportunity of chaos to improve their strength.

"But" Huangfu Song wanted to say something else.

But Gu Wei interrupted him directly: "General, those who achieve great things must have a firm mind."

"This is what my grandfather said more than once when educating me and other children of the Gu family."

"Just like he was in the past."

"Whether facing natural disasters or wanting to revive the Han Dynasty, my grandfather never hesitated."

"We are only facing Longyou now, so why should we hesitate?"

Gu Wei's confidence was revealed under this situation.

Huangfu Song's expression became increasingly complicated. He stared at Gu Wei intently. After a long silence, he spoke again, "Sir, how do you plan to deal with Li Jue and Guo Si?"

"A few months ago, I sent someone to secretly contact his military advisor Jia Xu."

When talking about this, Gu Wei's expression suddenly became strange, and he said uncertainly: "This person is willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty."

"Hmm?" Huangfu Song noticed the abnormality in Gu Wei's attitude and frowned again.

Gu Weiwei shook his head slightly, not knowing how to say this.

He did contact Jia Xu.

Moreover, Jia Xu also said that he was willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty.

But his request was beyond Gu Wei's expectations.

That is, after the situation has settled down, let him go to Julu Gu family to live out his life.

This request was too strange for Gu Wei, and he was a little unsure.

"General, don't worry too much. Leave this matter to me."

After hesitating for a moment, he did not say this matter, as he did not want to distract Huangfu Song any further.

Seeing this, Huangfu Song didn't ask any more questions.

He now has absolute trust in Gu Wei.

After the two of them talked about the next situation, Gu Wei walked out of the tent.

He immediately sent someone to meet Jia Xu again.

He planned to meet with Jia Xu.

Gu Wei still has absolute confidence in his talents.

No matter what Jia Xu was thinking, Gu Wei still firmly believed that he would be able to guess his thoughts as soon as they met.

Originally, Gu Wei thought that Jia Xu might not come to see him.

But he never expected that just after he sent someone to deliver the message, Jia Xu sent back the message within a few days and agreed to this matter.

The two sides met in Hanyang and a wasteland in Anding.

night.

The moonlight is bright and the stars are shining.

The surrounding torches swayed in the wind.

In the dim firelight, Gu Wei looked at the gloomy man in front of him and couldn't help but frowned: "But Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe are in person?"

"Jia Xu pays his respects to the young master."

Without any hesitation, Jia Xu immediately bowed to Gu Wei.

"Wenhe, there's no need to be so polite." Gu Wei returned the greeting, staring intently at Jia Xu and asking, "Do you take Wenhe's words seriously?"

He stared at Jia Xu closely, trying to read his thoughts through Jia Xu's expression.

"Of course." Jia Xu nodded without hesitation. "If you agree to this, I can help you deal with Li Jue and Guo Si."

Hearing this, Gu Wei couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't see anything.

Jia Xu's tone remained calm.

He was silent for a moment, and finally could only ask directly: "Why is it so?"

"With Wenhe's talent, why would he want to go to my Gu family?"

Julu is the Gu family’s base camp.

Now the Gu family has completely walked on two paths. Returning to Julu has tacitly represented their intention not to participate in any worldly affairs.

Although Gu Wei is confident, he cannot risk his entire family.

Jia Xu sighed slowly and said helplessly, "As the sage said, 'The world is bustling with people because they come for profit; the world is in turmoil because they go for profit.'"

"But Xu is different." "To be honest, sir, all I've been looking for is a place to settle down and settle down."

"I've thought about it for a long time, and the only place where I can feel completely at ease is Julu."

After saying this, Jia Xu bowed to Gu Wei again and said, "I hope you will help me go to the Gu family in Julu. From now on, I will not care about worldly affairs."

Gusts of wind whistled past.

Gu Wei stared at Jia Xu the entire time. After a long silence, he finally spoke, "What is Wenhe planning to do?"

"Don't worry, sir. As long as you agree to it, I will do it."

"I can make Li Jue and Guo Si not offend you, or even kill each other."

Against the backdrop of the firelight, Jia Xu's already gloomy face looked even more creepy.

Gu Wei couldn't help but frown, feeling a little confused.

"Isn't Wenhe afraid that this move will cause the scorn of scholars all over the world?"

He hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but ask.

But Jia Xu didn't care at all. He smiled calmly and said, "What if a mere scholar spitted on me?"

"Xu's actions may harm the harmony of heaven and people, but as long as they do not harm the harmony of culture, then it is fine."

From beginning to end, his tone was so casual.

Gu Wei's hand trembled inexplicably. Looking at Jia Xu in front of him, he hesitated for a long time and finally nodded.

"it is good!"

——Although an alliance has been reached with Jia Xu.

But Gu Wei would not completely believe Jia Xu.

There was no way, Jia Xu's conditions seemed too unrealistic to him.

In today's world, which talented person would have such an idea as Jia Xu? This can be said to be completely contrary to the current era.

Gu Wei deliberately left behind some troops and personally guarded Hanyang.

Huangfu Song launched an all-out attack on Longyou.

Longyou is backed by Longshan Mountain, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Facing Huangfu Song's attack.

Ma Teng, Han Sui and others were not at all panicked. They immediately prepared their troops and used the terrain to defend.

Of course, they had received the news that Gu Chen had taken over Wudu County.

But human nature has always been like this.

Even with the fate of Wei Xiang in the past, they were unwilling to believe that anyone would cross Longshan and launch a surprise attack.

Because this is an extremely difficult thing.

But not everyone can become Gu Xiao.

They only arranged Ma Chao to guard some important roads, while they faced Huangfu Song head-on and sent news to Li Jue and Guo Si.

This has become an unwritten understanding between the two parties.

Whenever Huangfu Song attacked one side, the other side would directly send troops to attack from the front and back.

But this time, something unexpected happened.

Li Jue and Guo Si were preparing to mobilize troops.

But just before they could mobilize, Jia Xu stopped them.

"Could it be that the two generals really want to defend Anding County to the death?"

Faced with Jia Xu's question, Li Jue and Guo Si both frowned.

Jia Xu now holds a very special position in their hearts.

The two of them obeyed Jia Xu's orders.

"Two generals, the current world situation is in chaos, and the war in the Central Plains will not stop. After the war in the Central Plains is over, no matter who wins, who will win."

"This is bad news for us."

"Do you really think that you can rest easy just by relying on a county?"

Li Jue and Guo Si's expressions became increasingly serious.

Jia Xu looked at them calmly, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "At this moment, the only way is to occupy the entire Liang Province."

"Only by waiting can we have a chance of survival."

"This is probably why Huangfu Song tried so hard to attack Longyou."

"If the two generals mobilized their troops now, it might help resolve the Longyou War, but what good would that do us?"

"On the contrary, if Huangfu Song, Ma Teng and Han Sui were both defeated."

"Then the two generals can send troops to capture Hanyang and Longyou and occupy the entire Liang Province."

"Could it be that the two generals have never thought about this?"

This simple sentence completely touched the hearts of Li Jue and Guo Si.

The expressions of both of them suddenly became interesting.

"Sir, are you saying that we should prepare for war and sit back and watch Huangfu Song fight with Ma Teng and Han Sui?" Li Jue asked excitedly.

Guo Si's eyes also lit up as he stared at Jia Xu closely.

"That's right!" Jia Xu nodded without any hesitation.

Seeing this, the two looked at each other, finally made up their minds, and nodded.

"Okay! I'll listen to you, sir!"

Wudu County.

Gu Chen was leading his troops straight to Longyou.

He has divided his troops into two groups.

He led the 3,000 most elite troops along the way, crossing mountains and rivers to launch a surprise attack on Longyou.

The other route was to attack Longyou to attract the attention of Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Gu Chen's judgment of the overall battle situation is indeed extraordinary, and he has already thought of the specific route of this surprise attack.

——First, head north along the West Han River Valley to avoid the main passes in Longnan.

They hid during the day and traveled at night, crossed Qiuchi Mountain and entered Qishan, avoiding the main road of Qishan, detoured from Yanguan Town on the west side of Qishan, passed through the Maoshui River Valley, and headed straight for Shanggui, the granary of Longyou.

This move is destined to be extremely difficult.

This is an unprecedented test for both the commander and the soldiers under his command.

But Gu Chen is quite confident about this.

The Gu family left behind books specifically on surprise attack tactics.

All current circumstances perfectly meet the requirements for a surprise attack.

It is also late autumn, which can save us from flash floods;
The morale of the soldiers under his command is as high as a mountain;
Gu Chen had read the topographic map left by his clan more than once.

All these prerequisites gave Gu Chen full confidence.

The army continued to advance, and just as they were about to enter the forest, Gu Chen suddenly stopped, his eyes sharp and his expression solemn as he scanned every soldier present.

The wind was howling in the mountains and forests.

"Brothers!" Gu Chen's voice rang out like a bell, echoing in the wind through the mountains and forests. "In this battle, we must recreate the heroic feat of our Gu family's ancestor, who sent his divine soldiers down from the sky!"

"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, no matter whether the outcome is success or failure, my Gu family will never let you down!"

His eyes revealed determination and resoluteness, "I, Gu Chen, swear here that even if I die, I will do it before you all!"

"If this battle is successful, we will both be recorded in history, and future generations will remember our glory!"

Boosting morale is a prerequisite for every general to become a commander-in-chief.

Gu Chen's sonorous words were like heavy hammers, striking the hearts of every soldier.

Everyone stared at Gu Chen closely, their admiration for him reached its highest point at this moment, and they immediately raised their weapons.

"I wish to follow the general, defeat the enemy and return victorious, leaving my name for eternity!"

The sounds gathered together, breaking through the silence of the mountains and forests and soaring into the sky.

Gu Yi has been paying attention to Gu Chen, and his expression has gradually become complicated.

Who would have thought that after so many years, the Gu family members would actually recreate that scene from the past?
Another surprise attack on Longyou?

If this plan is really successful, the title of "good at surprise attacks" will probably be completely attached to the Gu family.

Thinking of this, Gu Yi couldn't help but smile and didn't intend to interfere.

People like Gu Chen are destined to become stronger and stronger through various trials and tribulations.

If you keep interfering.

It will only affect Gu Chen's path to success.

All he had to do was to save Gu Chen's life at the critical moment.
