I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 149 - 56: Inviting Great Han to Its Doom

After Liu Bei finished speaking, Gu Xi nodded, first expressing his agreement.

"What you said is indeed correct."

"In terms of military strategy, our army has just suffered a great defeat, and the enemy outnumbers us. This is not the time to seek battle,"

Gu Xi paused, then said blandly, "Yet military books always have exceptions."

"Just like now."

He didn’t continue speaking, instead leaving it to Liu Bei to comprehend on his own.

Then he gestured for Lu Zhi to come over.

He leaned in and whispered a few words in Lu Zhi’s ear.

Lu Zhi’s expression changed slightly at once.

Immediately, he bowed with his hands cupped and led Liu Bei out of the camp.

"This person is indeed a figure of interest."

Just as Liu Bei stepped out of the tent, Gu Wei couldn’t help but speak.

"How does he compare to those you previously mentioned, like Cao Mengde, Lord Yuan, and Yuan Benchu?"

Gu Xi looked at him and asked softly.

Gu Wei had been in contact with these people during this time and mentioned quite a few names to Gu Xi.

He seemed to have some judgment when it came to recognizing people.

He had made acquaintance with these extraordinary individuals who were close in age.

This also related to his status, as being a descendant of the Gu Clan gave him a natural advantage in this area.

Upon hearing the question, Gu Wei frowned slightly.

After a long silence, he finally shook his head slightly, "As of now, they each have their strengths and cannot be compared." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Remember the characteristics of these people."

Gu Xi was indifferent, only using this opportunity to educate Gu Wei, "They may be your future opponents or even friends."

"The world as it is now is truly exceptional."

"I see many have great talents, I predict that what’s coming will either be a period of great peace or great chaos."

"Do not be complacent."

Gu Wei nodded slightly, bowing and saying, "Grandson understands."

"Remember not to be arrogant," Gu Xi continued, "You must know, there are always others better than you."

Perhaps knowing what the Great Han is about to face made Gu Xi place more importance on educating the sixth generation of the family.

He wouldn’t let any opportunity to educate the younger generation slip by.

"Rest assured, Grandfather, I will not disappoint you," Gu Wei nodded seriously and answered.

Subsequently, Gu Xi asked Gu Wei for his opinion on the matter.

Compared to Liu Bei’s analysis, Gu Wei was indeed more specific.

This may be due to his being a descendant of the Gu Clan.

He understood just how high the prestige of the Gu Clan was in Jizhou State.

This time, Gu Xi didn’t say much more.

He simply listened to Gu Wei’s calls of "traitor," then softly said, "They are not traitors."

Gu Yi had been watching this scene, also slightly surprised in his heart.

The sixth generation of the Gu Clan has now already established some connections with Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, will this serve a wonderful purpose in the future?

His thoughts turned, and his gaze immediately fell back on Luoyang.

Perhaps truly due to poor performance, Gu Chen is the only direct descendant of the sixth generation who is kept in Luoyang now.

His performance is indeed extremely poor, clearly almost fifteen, yet he still shows no particular strengths.

Whether it be in academic studies or martial practice.

He has not demonstrated any strengths. The only thing different is that he has become a normal person with slower reactions.

This surprised Gu Yi greatly.

Considering the effects of the Longevity Card, the effects of a Profound Level item should not be this simple.

He had meticulously observed Gu Chen.

Actually, Gu Chen was already working extremely hard, as if he knew the differences between himself and other family members.

In terms of effort, he far surpassed others.

But even so, it hadn’t led to any noticeable change. Just how high are the attribute growth requirements?

Gu Yi also couldn’t understand.

But evidently, if the family’s descendants were only at this level, then Gu Wei might be his next target to control... ....

....

By the banks of the Zhang River.

Dark clouds rolled in like ink.

The fierce wind howled, causing the flags of both armies to flutter loudly.

Warhorses neighed uneasily, pawing at the ground, raising clouds of dust.

The entire bank of the Zhang River was filled with an overwhelming aura of killing intent.

Gu Xi would certainly not refuse Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao needed this opportunity, but how could Gu Xi not need it?

If they won this battle, the Yellow Turban across the land would be filled with dread, and then he could directly coordinate all four directions, doing what he truly wished to do in his heart.

This was a battle destined to be unavoidable!

Gu Xi rode his horse in front of the three armies, staring tightly at the Yellow Turban Army not far off.

His snow-white hair was like a signal, allowing everyone to clearly understand who he was.

As expected, at the moment of his appearance, obvious disturbances emerged within the Yellow Turban Army.

The soldiers whispered to each other, their eyes filled with awe and unease.

This was completely a spontaneous reaction.

Although it was quickly stabilized, this small interlude only heightened everyone’s unease

At that moment, Gu Xi suddenly waved his hand.

The next moment, the soldiers behind him shouted in unison: "Gu Gong is here, how dare you not surrender!"

"Aren’t you afraid of the Celestial God’s wrath?"

The cries, carried by the fierce wind, rapidly spread.

Like sharp blades, they pierced the hearts of the Yellow Turban Army.

Gu Xi was undoubtedly a competent commander.

In his early days, Gu Xi may have had issues with arrogance.

But after years of experience, he had long since become completely composed.

He would not miss any opportunity.

Against any opponent, he would do his utmost to perform at his best.
