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

Chapter 90: Gu Chen goes north and attacks Xianbei from five directions (asking for monthly tickets)

June, the tenth year of Zhangwu.

Gu Chen left Luoyang again.

Liu Chan personally led all the civil and military officials to see him off in Luoyang. Before leaving, he held Gu Chen's hand tightly, tears streaming down his face.

"Shangfu."

"You must come back soon."

"I can't live without you."

Although he was surrounded by officials and people, Liu Chan did not care at all about his imperial majesty.

In front of Gu Chen, she was really like a little child.

Under his influence.

There was no telling how many people shed tears outside the Luoyang city gate.

How could the people of Luoyang be willing to let Gu Chen leave?

The sound of weeping continued to ring out, and this cry mixed with the sound of drums cheering the army on, making the atmosphere inexplicably solemn.

Zhao Yun's eyes were full of envy.

In fact, he also wanted to go to the battle with Gu Chen.

However, he was one of Liu Bei's trusted confidants.

Gu Chen still kept Zhao Yun to avoid chaos within the Han Dynasty.

Gu Chen looked at Liu Chan in front of him, and a smile flashed across his face. He didn't care about etiquette, and really stroked Liu Chan's head like a father, and said softly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this old minister."

"I am fighting this battle for the Han Dynasty and for the people of the world."

"I will never lose."

"I have made all arrangements for the temple."

"Kong Ming is a man of measure. I have appointed him as Prime Minister. Your Majesty should listen to Kong Ming's advice."

"Your Majesty, please remember the words of the late emperor."

“Do not do evil, no matter how small. Do not refrain from doing good, no matter how small.”

"With this, our Han Dynasty will surely prosper forever."

Liu Chan nodded while crying.

Behind him, Zhuge Liang also led the ministers to bow to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen did not stay for long, and then he looked at Luoyang City again as he did that year, although nothing had changed and yet it looked brand new.

Leaving again today;

I wonder if I can come back again?

He smiled carefreely, bowed to Liu Chan first, and then returned the greeting to his respected officials in the temple:

"Gentlemen, the big man is here to help!"

After saying that, he turned around and mounted his horse.

His expression became serious again, and the temperament he had cultivated on the battlefield for many years surged out.

The drums are thundering.

At first, the army followed Gu Chen towards Youzhou.

Looking at this scene, Gu Yi couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, for the Gu family.

The best way for Gu Chen now is to stay in Luoyang forever.

With his current status and reputation, living one more day would be of great help to the Han Dynasty, the Gu family, and what he would do in the future.

But still the same sentence.

——He couldn't interfere with the choices of all family members at all times.

Gu Chen's personality destined him to take this path.

To him, death is not scary.

He will only move forward along the correct path he has confirmed until his life ends.

The deaths of Gu Ze, Gu Wei and other sixth-generation Gu family members brought Gu Yi nearly 100,000 achievement points.

It’s not like Gu Yi hadn’t thought about whether he should draw some prizes again;

Even if it is a guaranteed ordinary-level item.

But maybe it can also help Gu Chen.

However, he changed his mind and gave up the idea.

Life and death matter.

Gu Chen has reached the average life expectancy in ancient times, especially since he has been on the front line of the battlefield all year round.

Without the blessing of the longevity card.

Even if he could draw other props, it wouldn't be of much help to him.

Gu Chen has done enough.

Rather than keeping him alive with props of little help, it is better to let him end in glory.

Life and death depend on fate
All the soldiers who followed Gu Chen in the past have now been killed.

Time is merciless and will never leave anyone behind.

Although after the restoration of the Han Dynasty, Gu Chen treated each of them very well.

But the injuries caused by years of fighting eventually took away too many people.

This made Gu Chen feel even more lonely;

He did not march in a hurry, but whenever he passed by a city along the way, he would inquire whether there were any corrupt officials.

Gu Chen cares as much about official administration as Gu Xi did back then.

This did allow Gu Chen to find out some small fry.

Human nature is greedy;
Even if the Han Dynasty has reached this point, it is impossible to achieve complete clarity in official administration.

Gu Chen would naturally not let these people go.

Using these small fry as examples, he continued to intimidate officials from the four states of the world.

And on the way;

Gu Chen often talked with his soldiers, thereby strengthening the cohesion of the army and understanding the talents of each one.

At the beginning, these soldiers were still very reserved.

But as time went on, they became bolder.

Will ask about the wars that Gu Chen experienced in the past.

Gu Chen was not arrogant and recounted every detail of the past, which made the soldiers admire him even more.

Listen to the old man tell stories.

It is one of the few entertainments in this era, not to mention that someone like Gu Chen comes to tell the story of the past in person.

This can be said to be something that these soldiers had never even dared to think about before.

The distance is shortened invisibly;
Although not everyone could hear Gu Chen tell the story in person, the news quickly spread in the military camp through word of mouth among the soldiers.

During this journey.

Gu Chen used his own methods to create a bond and cohesion between them.

Plus their admiration for Gu Chen.

If war breaks out, the power that such a large army can exert will exceed everyone's expectations.

Youzhou.

In fact, Gu Chen’s decision to mobilize troops again this time was not just because of his judgment of the future.

It is also influenced by the current situation.

——The Xianbei were unified!

This was indeed beyond Gu Chen's expectations. A man named Kebineng, who came from a branch of the Xianbei, wiped out the Xianbei.

Although there are still many resistance forces among them.

But in the overall situation, the Xianbei were completely unified.

The originally divided Xianbei were not weak in strength.

If there had not been a rift between the Eastern and Western Xianbei, perhaps during the chaotic times of Kyushu, the Xianbei would have been able to intervene in the war in the Central Plains.

Gu Chen absolutely could not allow such an almost unified force to constantly threaten the borders of the Han Dynasty.

Along the way, Gu Chen did not hide his whereabouts at all.

Ke Bineng naturally also received the news.

Different from previous Xianbei leaders.

Perhaps because he had lived on the border of the Han Dynasty since he was a child, Ke Bineng was even more aware of Gu's extraordinaryness, and his character also meant he was very tolerant.

He suppressed the tribal leaders' desire to fight to the death and take Gu Chen's head to establish his authority.

Gu Chen had just arrived in Youzhou.

Kebineng immediately sent an envoy to meet Gu Chen and expressed his willingness to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty.

The soldiers were not at all surprised by this.

After all, Gu Chen is here.

Who in the world dares to ignore Gu Chen’s majesty?
Everyone thought that Gu Chen would agree to this. After all, it was a tradition of the Han Dynasty for these barbarians to pay tribute to it.

But unexpectedly, Gu Chen directly refused this matter.

No, it can’t be said to be a rejection.

Instead, Gu Chen put forward a condition that the Xianbei could never agree to.

Youzhou.

The Xianbei envoy stared at Gu Chen, his face filled with disbelief. "Mr. Gu, please don't joke around."

"I, the Xianbei Chanyu, am devoted to the Han Dynasty. Why did Lord Gu want me to commit suicide?"

The messenger spoke fluent Chinese.

Apart from some differences in clothing and appearance, he looks like a Han Chinese.

The atmosphere suddenly solidified.

The expressions of the generals present couldn't help but become serious.

Although they did not understand why Gu Chen made such a request for a moment, they still felt Gu Chen's fighting spirit and were all influenced.

"I never joke."

Gu Chen did not hesitate at all and said calmly: "If the Xianbei want to submit to us, the only way is to let your Chanyu commit suicide."

"If not."

"We will definitely welcome the great Han people."

His voice was always so calm, but his whole temperament still made people feel pressured.

The Xianbei envoy could not help but avoid Gu Chen's deep gaze, but still forced himself to ask, "Mr. Gu, do you really think that we Xianbei can be bullied? Are you afraid of you, the Han people?"

"Humph."

Gu Chen sneered and shook his head, saying, "Whether the Xianbei are afraid of the Han or not, I don't care."

"But I thought."

"The Xianbei are definitely afraid of our Gu clan."

He paused slightly, his eyes growing fiercer. "Go back and look at your Xianbei history books. Do you still remember the incident of the 120 tribesmen being held hostage?"

"Do you still remember how our Gu family's ancestor defeated several generations of your Xianbei Chanyu?"

Gu Chen's tone was still so calm.

But these words were like a needle that pierced the Xianbei envoy's heart.

How could he forget this?
Although these things happened a long time ago.

But the legend of Gu Xi is still circulating among the Xianbei tribes.

This is the nightmare of almost every Xianbei child. Whenever they cry, the elders in the family will say something like "Gu Xi is here".

Anger immediately appeared on the face of the Xianbei envoy.

But he didn't dare to get angry at all, and he didn't even have the courage to look Gu Chen in the eye. After pondering for a long time, he just said in a sullen tone: "Does Han Chen really want to do this?"

——The title changed from Gu Gong to Han Chen.

Gu Chen did not answer, but just waved his hand.

Seeing this, the Xianbei envoy's face became even more furious, as if he had given up everything. He glanced around at everyone present and said, "Humph! Everyone in the world says that the Han Dynasty is a country of etiquette."

"Now I, Xianbei, am willing to submit to you."

"A mere Han minister actually threatens the leader of the Xianbei."

"Is this the so-called country of etiquette?"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and left.

"Be bold!"

The generals present stood up instantly, with anger flashing across their faces.

These people's admiration for Gu Chen is unimaginable.

How could we tolerate him being insulted?

But Gu Chen simply waved his hand, signaling the soldiers not to stop him.

How could he be angered by a few words?

Just a messenger.

Not enough to catch his eye.

If he killed the messenger, it would make him appear narrow-minded.

Seeing this, the generals could only calm down.

The Xianbei envoy looked back at Gu Chen, then walked out with a serious expression.

The moment he stepped out of the battalion commander's position.

All the soldiers immediately stood up and saluted Gu Chen, asking for battle.

Because of their absolute trust in Gu Chen, they didn't need to consider the reason for this battle at all. As long as Gu Chen wanted to fight, they must fight.

Jiang Wei, Guanqiu Jian, Deng Ai and others were all eager to fight.

But since Gu Chen came in person.

In this battle, he was destined to lead the army personally.

Gu Chen immediately stood up and walked to the feng shui map, telling the generals the tactics that he had thought about countless times.

He didn't intend to wait for Kebi to react.

For him, this battle is inevitable!
Both sides continued to send out scouts.

It is impossible for Ke Bineng to accept his fate.

Although he was unwilling to confront Gu Chen head-on, he wanted to admit defeat first and drag Gu Chen to death.

But how could he commit suicide?

at this point.

Why should he make any more concessions? The fighting spirit of the Xianbei tribes is not exaggerated!
And who says they have no chance of winning?
Although the whole world is now saying that Gu Chen is the reincarnation of Gu Xi.

But how could he not believe it!
However, Kebi Neng was not just driven by passion, he also contacted the Wuhuan.

Gu Chen's attitude towards the four foreign races was described in an extremely exaggerated way.

In exchange for the support of Wuhuan.

The war quietly came amidst various confrontations between the two sides.

Gu Chen’s strategic goal this time is extremely simple.

Originally, he planned to at least weaken the foreign races, but now he wants to add one more thing to get rid of Kebi Neng.

He set his target on the grassland on the south bank of Raole River, the royal court of Xianbei Chanyu, and also included the grassland on the southern foot of Danhan Mountain.

In fact, the greatest difficulty in destroying these barbarians is that they are too flexible.

But they also have a fatal flaw, which is their dependence on the grassland.

April, the eleventh year of Zhangwu;

Gu Chen divided his troops into five groups and officially set out from Youzhou.

——The first route;
Led by Jiang Wei and two sons of the Gu family, they led thousands of elite cavalry from Liaodong, crossed the Lengkou Pass in Yanshan Mountain, and attacked Liucheng, the court of the Wuhuan king.

Don’t seek to break the city;

Just to burn the grasslands and food on which the Wuhuan depended for survival.

Second Road;
Led by Guanqiu Jian, he led an army of 20,000 men, marching north from Juyong Pass and westward along the Yanghe River valley;
It goes straight into the heart of the Xianbei region and reaches Raole River.

Third Road;
Led by Gu Wei, the most outstanding martial artist among the current Gu family members;
Starting from Yuyang County, they increased the number of cooking fires every day to pretend to move, and advanced north along the Chaohe River.

To confuse the Xianbei people.

Fourth Road;
It was led by Deng Ai, who circled Yanshan and took the grassland on the southern foot of Danhan Mountain.

This was a choice Gu Chen made after careful consideration.

Deng Ai was extremely skilled in surprise attacks.

And the fifth road;

It was led by Gu Chen himself.

Confront the Xianbei army on the front battlefield and attract their attention from the front.

Five armies move together!

Gu Chen made detailed preparations for this.

No matter the details.

Only when you truly face someone like Gu Chen head-on will you fully realize how terrifying Gu Chen is.

For this battle, Gu Chen had already prepared for it many years ago.

And beyond that.

Gu Chen also did not forget his attack on people's hearts.

The Gu family's reputation among foreign races is not exaggerated.

Just before the troops left Youzhou.

For the first time, Gu Chen issued an edict as the "Han Dynasty's Ten-Direction Expeditionary Envoy" and announced it to the world.

The edict stated: "Wherever the king's army advances, all will become Han territory. Those who join the invasion are numerous, regardless of their leaders or followers, all will be considered enemies and will be killed, no matter how dangerous the situation!"

With scouts constantly on all sides, this decree spread quickly.

——The whole world is shocked!
This was Gu Chen’s first decree, and its impact far exceeded Liu Chan’s imperial edict!

In addition, Gu Chen also showed goodwill to the Eastern Xianbei tribe.

Kebi Nengke has not yet completely unified the Xianbei!

Gu Chen mobilized his troops too quickly!
Nowadays, there are still forces among the Eastern Xianbei tribes that resist Kebi Neng!

Gu Chen wanted to take action both on the battlefield and in people's hearts.

Only when facing Gu Chen head-on.

Only then will you clearly feel how terrifying Gu Chen is.

He is good at infinitely magnifying his own advantages;

Use this to create a huge impact on the other party!
ps: Brothers, please give me monthly tickets. This month’s monthly tickets are much less, woo woo woo!
