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

Chapter 106 Seven In and Seven Out, A Century of Fear (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Gu Yi is not one to hesitate.

Once he has made a formal decision, he will carry it out immediately.

This is also an experience he learned from Gu Xi, Gu Chen, and others.

Involving war;

Hesitation will only waste many opportunities.

The Han Dynasty of today is not the Western Jin Dynasty of the original history, which was consumed by internal strife and died. With so many years of preparation, it has no need to worry about so many things.

These barbarian people are able to learn from experience; they are certainly not ordinary people.

But Gu Yi has gone through such a long period of development.

How could the sword in one's hand be unsharp?
Gu Yi wasted no opportunity and launched an attack before the enemy had fully recovered.

He personally led the central army in a frontal attack on White Wolf Mountain.

The other three routes also had generals leading them.

As for the most elite Wen Yang—

Gu Yi designated him as the fifth army, without a fixed plan.

He simply gave Wen Yang an order.

Let him charge and kill at will.

The goal is to perfectly utilize Wen Yang's invincible bravery.

Marco's men were all specially trained.

They adapted to the environment of northern Xinjiang and had a thorough understanding of its terrain.

The geomantic map that Gu Chen used when his troops crossed the northern frontier is still in the Gu family's possession.

This has only been a few decades.

The terrain of the northern frontier is unlikely to change on a large scale, which is why Gu Yi wanted to train them in the first place.

With these people around—

Wen Yang's greatest strengths can then be fully utilized.

The northern border region was shaken.

Gu Yi's actions were so fast that they didn't have any time to react.

The Gu family's reputation, coupled with Wen Yang, a deadly weapon, made it all possible.

This had already made these people feel somewhat uneasy.

This sudden, large-scale attack caught them completely off guard.

But Murong Hui was no mediocre talent either.

His ability to get to where he is today is enough to demonstrate his capabilities.

In response to the actions of the Han army.

The moment he received the news, he had a general idea of ​​the Han army's intentions and immediately devised a strategy.

--withdraw!

That's right, it's a retreat!

The Han army's current offensive is too aggressive. After all, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were already holding their breath, especially now that Gu Ye has arrived.

This had an unimaginable impact on the morale of the Han army soldiers.

Morale is something that always declines once and is eventually exhausted.

Murong Hui intended to wait until the Han army's momentum gradually weakened.

A decisive battle is underway.

It must be said that his approach was absolutely correct in this era of cold weapon warfare.

Morale can indeed boost combat effectiveness.

Compared to the Han army, these barbarian troops were skilled at raids and had no need to worry about the Han army catching up with them.

But they underestimated Gu Yi.

Gu Yi remained completely calm. Even though he had already learned that the enemy was withdrawing, he continued his advance methodically.

How could Gu Yi not see such an obvious tactic?

He did not want to waste the Han army's energy pursuing the enemy.

Since they want to back out—

Gu Yi told them to back down!

If they cannot kill them, they will seize their land and continuously shrink their living space.

As for pursuing the enemy, he left that entirely to Wen Yang.

His response to Wen Yang was just one sentence.

"Unleash your full power and hunt down the enemy!"

For someone like Wen Yang, there's no need to devise any strategies; just let him do what he's supposed to do!

The entire northern Xinjiang region was in an uproar!
After years of training, Wen Yang's men had become highly skilled in pursuit and killing.

Murong Hui had no idea what was going on.

It's incredible that a general actually chose to break away from the army and go out to hunt down the enemy alone!

He instinctively thought this was an opportunity.

If we can capture and kill the Han general, it will not only dampen the morale of the Han army, but also boost their confidence!
Under these circumstances.

Murong Hui began his attack on Wen Yang!

They wanted to take advantage of their superior numbers and capture Wen Yang before the main Han army arrived!
This battle was destined to be earth-shattering.

Murong Hui led tens of thousands of troops to besiege and kill Wen Yang in the White Wolf Mountain area!

In everyone's eyes, this battle was a foregone conclusion.

Wen Yang's forces number less than ten thousand.

How could they possibly withstand the encirclement and attack of tens of thousands of troops?

But they ultimately underestimated Wen Yang.

Faced with the overwhelming army that came to kill him, Wen Yang showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, his anger was completely ignited!

—The hatred for the murderer of one's father is irreconcilable!

Although Wen Yang's personality was not suited to be a commander.

But that doesn't mean he's just a reckless brute who only knows how to charge into battle; his judgment of the situation is also quite good!
However, all these qualities of his were overshadowed by his bravery!
"Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

With Wen Yang's furious roar, shouts of killing instantly echoed throughout White Wolf Mountain.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

What defines an elite force?

Even when faced with the enemy's overwhelming arrogance, they remained fearless in the face of danger.

These are the true elites.

His soldiers had worked with him for many years, and their mutual trust and cooperation had reached their peak!

They showed absolutely no fear!
Without wasting a word, Wen Yang brandished his Broken Spear and charged forward with immense force.

—This is the marksmanship left behind by Gu Chen!

Wen Yang was not widely admired.

And Gu Chen is precisely the best among them!

According to Wen Yang, not being able to fight Gu Chen was the biggest regret of his life!

now--

He won't embarrass Gu Chen!
Zheng! ! !
Zheng! ! !
Zheng! ! !
What is immense power?

Faced with the spear in Wen Yang's hand, no one in the entire Xianbei-Wuhuan allied army could stop him.

The sound of weapons shattering echoed continuously.

With screams of agony, the entire battlefield instantly transformed into a meat grinder, relentlessly reaping lives!

Murong Hui did not cause any trouble.

He knew of Wen Yang's bravery.

But as ordinary people, we will always have moments when we are exhausted.

A huge advantage in troop strength.

I fully support his plan to wear Wen Yang down completely.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared intently at the entire battlefield from afar.

Murong Hui had already figured it out completely.

This group of people are the elite of the Han army. He wants to keep them all to deal a fatal blow to the Han army!
But he ultimately underestimated Wen Yang.

On the entire battlefield, Wen Yang had completely transformed into a god of death.

Wherever his spear went, no one could withstand its sharpness.

And the soldiers under his command.

They followed behind him, charging forward relentlessly!

As time slowly passed.

Murong Hui's expression grew increasingly ugly.

His heart bled as he watched those figures fall one by one.

These are the pillars of the Xianbei!

He died on the battlefield just like that.

If he couldn't win this battle, he didn't even dare to think about what the consequences would be for the Xianbei.

Anger continued to surge within him.

He kept sending soldiers to surround and kill Wen Yang.

But this was completely useless.

Wen Yang fought with increasing ferocity, his body seemingly possessing boundless power, without any apparent signs of it!
Murong Hui's expression grew increasingly grim.

Because Wen Yang was actually trying to break out of the encirclement!

"Quick! Block him! We absolutely cannot let him get out!" Murong Hui roared angrily.

We must not fail!
If Wen Yang really manages to break through the encirclement...

That would be an unimaginable blow to their morale.

At that point, it won't be a matter of avoiding the limelight.

They could only keep running away.

The entire coalition tried to tighten its grip to stop Wen Yang, but all its efforts were in vain.

Unless someone can directly block Wen Yang's attack from the front.

otherwise--

This encirclement will eventually be torn apart by Wen Yang.

Most importantly, seeing Wen Yang completely stained with blood, the Xianbei and Wuhuan allied forces felt fear in their hearts.

Under these circumstances, Wen Yang actually led his troops out of the encirclement!
Murong Hui's expression was completely distorted.

He originally intended to order his men to hunt down Wen Yang, but he did not expect that Wen Yang had no intention of retreating at all.

"Brothers! Do you still have the strength?"

"Have you killed enough?"

A thunderous roar rang out.

What followed was a series of responses without the slightest fear!
"kill!!!"

Without any hesitation;
Amidst the shouts of battle, Wen Yang led his troops back to the battlefield once more.

You've come to surround and kill us?

No, I'm here to kill you!

fear
Fear from the depths of the soul.

In that instant, even Murong Hui's body began to tremble.

Is that human being?
Even though they had already broken out of the encirclement, they still chose to fight their way back.

What is he going to do?

What do they think of the Xianbei?
A surge of intense anger rose instantly, and Murong Hui disregarded everything else, continuously ordering his men to attack!

Since you don't want to leave, then don't leave!

He had to keep Wen Yang here no matter what.

But morale is something that can change with the situation.

Seeing that Wen Yang had actually returned to fight again.

The allied soldiers, already filled with fear, felt death drawing ever closer.

This fear can seriously affect a person's combat effectiveness.

Under these circumstances.

Wen Yang charged back into the encirclement and then broke out again.

They turned around again, charged in, and then charged out again.

They fought their way in and came out fighting their way out.

Faced with the increasingly demoralized Xianbei-Wuhuan allied forces, Wen Yang felt no pressure whatsoever.

until—

Seven times in and seven times out.

The entire land was completely stained red with blood, and the ground was littered with the remains of corpses trampled by warhorses. The cries of agony echoed from all directions.

Countless wounded suffered both physical and psychological blows.

Morale has completely collapsed!

Even Murong Hui was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

Seven in and seven out? What exactly is this?
How could there be such terrifying people in the world?
If even Wen Yang is so difficult to deal with, just how terrifying must the "Blue Wolf Chasing the Sun" that our ancestors spoke of be?
That has already been elevated to the level of a god by our ancestors!

Humans can only develop a deep-seated fear after they have truly experienced terror.

Murong Hui's generation did not actually experience true despair.

Even for Gu Chen.

They had only heard everything from their ancestors, which was one of the reasons why this generation dared to attack the Han Dynasty.

But now——

They began to waver.

Even Murong Hui himself could not hide the fear in his heart.

At that moment, Wen Yang's roar also rang out.

"Today I charged in and out seven times, just to remind you barbarians of the fear you've felt for a century!"

A century-long fear!

—This is the era created by Gu Xi and Gu Chen.

When the grandfather and grandson were alive.

The barbarian tribes from all directions turned pale at the mere mention of the name of the Great Han!
Beads of cold sweat dripped down Murong Hui's forehead, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

A feeling of dizziness surged through my body.

He staggered instantly, blood gushing from his mouth, and he almost collapsed.

"Withdraw troops!"

Murong Hui, barely managing to stay upright, weakly uttered those two words.

It's impossible to fight anymore.

This battle is completely unwinnable.

If the fighting continues, whether it is the Xianbei or the Wuhuan, they will only face the fate of extermination.

Murong Wei only wants to preserve the tribe now.

but--

Why would Gu Yi give them such an opportunity?

Gu Yi was not surprised at all by Wen Yang's performance.

This was one of the most powerful generals in the later Three Kingdoms period.

compete with him
It's still a head-on confrontation.

How could it be possible without the emergence of equally groundbreaking figures?

Murong Hui did not actually do anything wrong.

He did indeed learn about the culture of the Han Dynasty and draw lessons from the defeats of his predecessors.

The tactics he devised.
It is extremely consistent with the military treatises passed down from the Han Dynasty.

But so is success, and so is failure.

These more advanced experiences enabled him to unify the Xianbei and end their chaotic era, but ultimately he could not withstand the might of the Han Dynasty.

He wants to retreat, but where can he retreat to?

Why did Gu Yi launch a four-pronged northern expedition?
He wanted to leave these people no chance whatsoever.

Even without fighting, they could only be gradually eroded by the Han army.

Wen Yang was indeed a deadly weapon.

He actually wanted to launch an attack.

But this time Gu Yi stopped him and recalled the central army.

White Wolf Mountain.

Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, Gu Yi thought for a moment and then had a cordon cleared before choosing to cremate the bodies.

Wen Yang stood behind him the whole time, her face full of pride.

Although he is not much older than Gu Ye.

But when facing Gu Ye, he was like a child, waiting for Gu Ye's praise.

Gu Yi could see that Wen Yang's face clearly said "Praise me!" and smiled helplessly, saying, "Ah Yang is brave and is a general sent by Heaven to our Great Han."

"hey-hey."

Wen Yang's face immediately lit up with a smile: "It is all thanks to the General for his special training of us. If it weren't for the brothers with me, no matter how brave we are, we would not have been able to break through an army of ten thousand men."

As he spoke, a look of confusion crossed his face, and he looked at Gu Ye and asked, "General, why don't you let me press my advantage and slaughter them all?"

“Ah Yang.”

Gu Yi's expression also turned serious, and he said earnestly, "This battle cannot be resolved by killing."

He certainly had high expectations for Wen Yang.

I want to teach him.

The relationship between the Nine Provinces and the barbarian tribes in all directions cannot be resolved simply by killing them.

The true sword of the Nine Provinces lies not in annihilation, but in making Wuhuan children recite Han dynasty poems and Xianbei shamans worship the Yellow Emperor.

Simple killing—

This will only incite even more intense hatred.

Wen Yang frowned, unable to understand what Gu Yi had said.

Gu Yi smiled and pointed to the vast summit of White Wolf Mountain: "A-Yang, have you seen the snow-capped peak of White Wolf Mountain?"

"The barbarians are like snowflakes; today they melt away in a single mass, but when the north wind rises next year, they will pile up again."

"Emperor Xiaowu once drove the Xiongnu to the north of the Gobi Desert, but a hundred years later the Xianbei reoccupied the land."

"It wasn't that we were unsuccessful in battle, but that we failed to sever their roots."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yang seemed to understand something, but his face still showed a ferocious expression as he angrily shouted, "If that's the case, then I will slaughter them all!"

"Slaughtered them all?" Gu Yi shook his head slightly and sneered, "What you're saying is truly the talk of a fool."

In this era of cold weapon warfare, to defeat a migratory tribe to the point of extinction is nothing short of a fantasy.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yang was speechless for a moment and remained silent.

Gu Yi, controlling Gu Ye, smiled and gently patted his shoulder, asking softly, "Ah Yang, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"In the future?"

Wen Yang frowned again, and after a long silence, he slowly spoke: "This humble general is dull-witted, only recognizing the cold glint of the spear tip."

"The general asked me what I would do in the future."

"This humble general can only say that wherever the general points, this humble general's spear will be there."

Wen Yang suddenly waved his hand, planting his spear into the ground, startling several crows into flight. His voice was firm and powerful: "Even the snow line of Yinshan Mountain will be plowed into a smooth road!"

He wasn't being obsequious when he said those things.

But he really does have this idea!

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi smiled helplessly.

He had great faith in Wen Yang's abilities, and given the current overall strength of the Han Dynasty, if the fighting continued, they could definitely conquer a considerable amount of territory for the Han Dynasty.

However, the culture of Kyushu already dictated that this was absolutely impossible.

Conquering the world is easy, but governing it is difficult.

The Gu family is now able to influence the entire world; a slight misstep could lead to utter ruin.

The culture of Kyushu can encompass all things.

But this is not something that can be accomplished in one generation.

If we force it, it will ultimately harm the land of Kyushu.

Why would he do such a thing?

Looking at Wen Yang's serious expression, Gu Yi smiled again, then controlled Gu Ye to say seriously, "A Yang, the Xianbei and Wuhuan people fear you like a tiger."

Have you ever thought about this?

"Will he one day guard this place for my great Han Dynasty?"

Gu Yi plans to try compatibility!
Only through complete cultural integration can a land truly be incorporated into the Nine Provinces.

Nowadays, the barbarians from all directions are imitating the culture of the Han Dynasty.

This is already a very good starting point.

"To guard this place?" Wen Yang's expression immediately fell.

He still enjoys fighting.

But seeing Gu Ye's serious expression, he hesitated for a moment before finally nodding: "If the General is willing, this humble general is of course willing."

"Then you'll have to change your temperament!"

Gu Yi didn't say anything more, but patted Wen Yang's shoulder again.

From that day onward—

Gu Yi then kept Wen Yang by his side at all times.

The ensuing battle proceeded as expected.

Murong Hui is dead.

This undoubtedly dealt an even more fatal blow to the entire Wuhuan-Xianbei-Goguryeo alliance.

Wuhuan Chanyu Taran indeed had no resentment towards Murong Hui.

This is because Murong Hui was older than him.

Furthermore, the Xianbei were much stronger.

But with Murong Hui's death, this balance was broken.

Although Murong Hui's son inherited the position.

But he had not even completely subdued the various tribes within the Xianbei, let alone Taran, the Chanyu of the Wuhuan.

And in the current situation.

If problems arise within their alliance, then there will be no chance of a comeback in this battle.

Murong Hui is indeed extraordinary.

He left the entire alliance with an escape route: immediate relocation.

Abandon everything and completely avoid the Han army.

But the situation has completely changed.

Within their alliance, some wanted to surrender while others wanted to migrate, and this infighting caused them to miss a crucial opportunity.

While the four Han armies were making steady progress.

They have no choice.

Gu Yi did not choose a large-scale encirclement and killing; he brought Wen Yang with him to teach him this lesson.

Although Gu Yi didn't know whether his idea would succeed.

But he was determined to give it a try.

Some tribes wanted to resist, but faced with the Han army coming from all directions, their various methods were nothing more than ants trying to shake a tree.

Blood was spilled on this land.

Barbarians and Han soldiers.

Blood and tears forged their achievements on this vast land.

Under the rule of kings and nobles, all that remains are withered bones.

Gu Yi is not some saint. He will not show mercy to tribes that harbor rebellious intentions or hidden hatred.

He will only keep those tribes that are more friendly to the Han.

And he will not stop moving forward.

In the third month of the fourth year of the Qianji era.

The Han army passed through Liucheng.

After decades, the royal court was once again adorned with the flags of the Han army.

Gu Yi executed Ta Ran, the Chanyu of Wuhuan.

Since this lineage harbors hatred towards both the Han Dynasty and the Gu family.

No matter how well-behaved he behaves, Gu Yi would never leave such a risk unaddressed.

Gu Yi was not in a hurry to make any reforms.

He still led his army to sweep across the land.

In July of the same year, the Han army's advance reached the Goguryeo royal court's inner city and Wandu Mountain City.

The banners of the Han army rose above the two cities.

The Han army's military might had reached its peak.

There was absolutely no resistance whatsoever; the Goguryeo king had already led his people on a migration.

This tribe seems to have remained largely unchanged throughout history.

They fled when faced with the enemy.

Even if their capital is burned down, they can come back and rebuild it after the army retreats.

But for Gu Yi, this was not a problem.

He doesn't plan to leave!
He wanted to seize this opportunity to launch his long-planned scheme!
------

"In the autumn of the third year of Qianji, on the day of Bing Shen in the eighth month, General Ye led the elite troops of the four expeditions on a northern expedition."

The Xianbei Chanyu Murong Hui, fearing Ye Wei's power, abandoned his yurt and fled. He secretly gathered 100,000 troops from the Wuhuan and Goguryeo tribes and besieged General Wen Yang at the old fortress of Bailang.

The raging eagle, wielding its long spear, charged through seven pits and seven charges, utterly crushing everything in its path.

At that time, the Han army numbered eight thousand, while the Hu cavalry outnumbered them several times over. Yang tore a piece of silk to wrap his wound, climbed to a high place, and shouted: "Today I charged in and out seven times, just to make you Hu horses remember the fear of a hundred years ago!"

He then personally donned heavy armor and led his elite troops in a charge against the enemy's core, beheading twelve Xianbei chieftains and killing Tanhe, the leader of Goguryeo. The corpses piled up and blocked the river, and the enemy forces collapsed like snowdrifts.

In this battle, 40,000 enemy soldiers were killed, and mountains of cattle, horses, and supplies were captured, bringing peace to the southern desert.

Ye, riding the wave of victory, pursued northward, burning the Xianbei capital at the Raole River, plowing the Wuhuan ancestral temple at Liucheng, and hanging the Han banner on the city's watchtower. The Hu flute mourned, and the Han horn blared; the border grasses turned red, and the Heavenly Wolf appeared.
