I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 212 - 13: Sun Jian Beheaded, Bowing to the Capital Region; Liu and Cao Step into Jizhou State_4

Chapter 212: Chapter 13: Sun Jian Beheaded, Bowing to the Capital Region; Liu and Cao Step into Jizhou State_4

Yuan Shao indeed fell into the trap, suffering nearly ten thousand casualties, and had no choice but to retreat back to Fan Yang.

September;

After several months, Gu Chen finally broke through Sun Jian’s stronghold built in the Taiyue Mountains.

And directly took advantage by capturing the cities of Qin County and Five Towns.

Completely locked the battlefield on the plains, solving the biggest problem affecting his cavalry’s combat power, and formally engaged in offensive and defensive warfare with Sun Jian.

The situation in the world has changed beyond everyone’s expectations.

The current Great Han.

Is a chaotic battlefield, where the change of one side will involve another.

Even Gu Yi did not foresee that this time the chaotic world would be so intense.

Stalemates on all sides...various games.

Its extent far exceeds the original history.

Gu Yi also doesn’t know how this chaotic world will end.

But judging by the current situation.

What he is certain of is that the result of this chaotic world will probably be completely different from the original history.

Gu Chen will definitely be a huge variable!

No matter how flexible the moral bottom line of the Gu Clan’s descendants is, the actions of the Sima family in the original history are bound to be incompatible with the Gu Clan.

This is destined to cause a great change in history!

...

Qin County.

After a brief rest, Ma Chao, a belligerent person, naturally proposed to attack.

Everyone was quite in agreement with this matter.

Even Gu Wei thought the same.

Because if they cannot take Bingzhou State, once the war in Jizhou State between Cao and Liu ends and the two Yuan move, how could they stop them?

But Gu Chen directly suppressed this matter and did not plan to attack.

"Gentlemen, there’s no need to rush."

Sitting in the main seat, Gu Chen scanned everyone and said solemnly, "In my opinion, it is not us who should be anxious, but Sun Jian."

"Countless people in the world fear the Gu Clan."

"Now our army’s might has already reached the Capital Region."

"The people of the Capital Region are unstable, hoping for the Gu Clan to return."

"Those people can be suppressed for a while, but if it goes on for long, how can it not fall into chaos?"

Saying this, Gu Chen sneered dismissively, "Changzi City is a major town in Shangdang, and Sun Jian is stationed there with his elite troops to deter all sides."

"If our army forcefully attacks."

"Even if we successfully capture Changzi City, the casualties will definitely be significant."

"Gentlemen, do not forget, our elite troops are all cavalry."

Gu Chen’s tone was very calm.

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell into deep thought.

Only Jia Xu remained as calm as ever, as if he had already guessed Gu Chen’s intention.

After a while, everyone finally reacted, expressing their agreement one after another.

"Brother."

Gu Chen looked at Gu Wei again and said solemnly, "I want you to return to Jinyang to guard the city and avoid any mistakes."

"Alright."

Gu Wei did not hesitate, nodding immediately.

He was quite impressed by his younger brother now.

No matter how proud he was.

He had to admit that Gu Chen had accomplished things far beyond his reach.

The army thus stationed in Qin County.

However, Gu Chen would not do nothing.

He was also skilled in winning hearts, not only spreading news that he intended to take the Capital Region directly but also frequently leading the army out to challenge, constantly stirring everyone’s nerves.

Changzi City.

Upon hearing the report from the scouts, Sun Jian was completely unfazed.

"Does this Gu Ziyan think I’m like Lu Bu, a reckless man?"

He sneered, saying nonchalantly, "Such a strategy may trouble Lu Bu, but how could it trouble me?"

All the generals laughed.

But at that moment, Zu Mao stood up, cupped his hands toward Sun Jian, and said, "My Lord, I request to fight."

"Great Rong, don’t be hasty."

Sun Jian quickly gestured with his hand, saying, "There will be a chance for you to engage him in battle another day."

"All we need to do now is hold this Changzi City."

Zu Mao had requested to fight multiple times already.

He was always troubled by having been matched evenly with a younger Gu Chen in the past and continually sought another duel with him.

Although he knew Gu Chen had defeated Lu Bu.

To them, as military leaders, reputation was just that.

Lu Bu could lose, but he might not!

Seeing Sun Jian refusing, Zu Mao had no choice but to nod reluctantly and step back.

Time passed swiftly.

Sun Jian remained unhurried, unfazed by the various rumors.

The men under his command were old comrades who had followed him for years.

How could they be swayed by these rumors?

But things did not go against Gu Chen’s prediction.

Sun Jian could remain calm.

But among those in the Capital Region, some could not.

After merely half a month.

The court’s envoys swiftly arrived at Changzi City, conveying the "Emperor’s" orders.

Questioning Sun Jian why he was not attacking?

Why had he not yet driven the enemy back?

To this, Sun Jian could only painstakingly explain the current situation, sending the envoys back.

Yet as chaos grew in the Capital Region.

Half a month later, the court’s envoys came again.

This time, they were far more serious.

Telling him to fight!

Even if he couldn’t rally a large force, he must defeat Gu Chen at least once.

Otherwise, they would cut off his supplies.

This move cornered Sun Jian completely.

Compared to Lu Bu, Sun Jian was indeed better at commanding troops, but dealing with the twists and turns of the imperial court was not his forte.

With no other options, Sun Jian finally took action!

Just as Gu Chen’s men challenged them, he ordered Zu Mao and Huang Gai to lead their troops out to fight.

Hoping to catch Gu Chen off guard.

Even if they only killed a few dozen, it would be some achievement.
