———Wait until after Gu Chen’s death to restore the family.
This was indeed a good idea, at least it genuinely avoided Gu Chen’s great purge at the ti.
But they never considered the consequences this action would cause.
People change with the environnt!
Even though those clan children thoroughly educated by the Great Han may not easily assimilate, the private soldiers within their clan are bound to change with the environnt.
Including the knowledge and technology they brought with them.
It will continuously strengthen the overall power of the Shanyue!
Gu Chen was furious!
Even Gu Yi had forgotten how many years it had been since Gu Chen had been this angry.
The actions of these people obviously touched Gu Chen’s reverse scale.
Fortunately, he discovered it this ti.
Otherwise, if the Shanyue continued to develop like this, after his passing, these people would definitely beco one of the fatal threats to the Great Han!
Gu Chen had no hesitation, imdiately sending people to conduct a thorough investigation.
At the sa ti, he personally led his army straight to the remote regions of the Dan Yang, Huaiji, and other counties.
This battle was destined to be unavoidable.
Gu Chen’s tactics against other Barbarians had long spread, let alone now, within the Shanyue, there were still clan children who had death feuds with Gu Chen.
However, they also knew Gu Chen’s tactics.
They wouldn’t confront Gu Chen head-on.
Instead, they used their knowledge of the terrain and various environntal factors to gradually wear him down.
They intended to wear Gu Chen to death!
This was indeed a very effective thod.
Even soone as capable as Gu Chen could not possibly solve the issue of the terrain.
The Shanyue adopted the tactic of "retreat when the enemy advances, advance when the enemy retreats," relying on the environntal advantages including the miasma unique to the Jiangdong forests to block Gu Chen.
——But they underestimated Gu Chen in the end.
Gu Chen was never just a reckless general who only knew how to charge and kill.
After observing the terrain a little, he imdiately devised a specific strategy.
He first set up defenses in the four states.
Encircled the entire Shanyue within the mountains, cutting off their contact with the outside world.
Although the Shanyue had an agricultural culture, it was still impossible to ensure absolute self-sufficiency in terms of food.
This is the inherent disadvantage of living in the mountains and forests!
At the sa ti, Gu Chen did not abandon his psychological offensive.
The Shanyue intended to use the terrain to limit the Han Army’s siege.
But Gu Chen didn’t need to besiege!
He only needed to continuously compress the living space of the Shanyue, which was enough to fundantally dissolve the Shanyue internally!
A prosperous and peaceful world has always been one’s greatest fantasy.
The tide of change in the world today not only inspired aspiration among those clan private soldiers but even within the Shanyue there was a yearning for the Great Han.
They ultimately underestimated Gu Chen too much.
Being able to co this far in such a chaotic world was enough to explain the terrifying nature of Gu Chen.
This war did not last long.
Under the imnse pressure brought by Gu Chen, the internal chaos in the Shanyue ca much earlier than imagined.
In less than two months, the Shanyue internally experienced great disorder.
Yet even so, Gu Chen did not rush to attack, but steadily compressed the Shanyue’s living space.
Even at this stage, he still maintained that extre thoroughness he once had.
——Impeccable!
Everyone who fought Gu Chen head-on, regardless of their talent or strength, would feel this extre despair.
Gu Chen was like a flawless machine with no weaknesses.
Under circumstances where there is no surface advantage, hoping to defeat Gu Chen was simply dreaming foolishly.
Tianmu Mountain Range.
Watching as his situation grew increasingly dire, the Shanyue clan leader Zu Kang, face full of murderous intent, could no longer control himself and roared: "This cannot continue any longer!"
"I will personally lead the troops to attack Gu Chen!"
He was utterly enraged.
This continuously compressing living space had severely threatened his position.
He absolutely could not tolerate continuing like this.
At these words, Cai Yao’s expression imdiately changed, hastily saying: "Clan leader, you must not do this!"
He was the most outstanding disciple of the Cai Clan in Jingzhou at the ti.
It was precisely because of this that Cai Mao sent him into the Tianmu Mountain Range.
He spoke earnestly about Gu Chen’s various rumors, trying to completely suppress Zu Kang’s mindset.
But at this point, how could Zu Kang endure any longer?
People are driven by self-interest!
To him.
Even if he could truly guard against Gu Chen, if by then he lost his position as clan leader, he would rather take a gamble!
And who could be certain he would definitely lose?
Those who had reached such a position were all prideful.
Moreover, the Shanyue clan leader was also a chief Wizard among the Shanyue.
Faith would give him the greatest confidence.
"I am the clan leader, the mountain gods and ancestors will protect !" Zu Kang snapped, coldly staring at Cai Yao, his eyes filled with killing intent: "You people have brought disaster upon us Shanyue."
"If you do not participate in this battle, I will use your blood for a blood sacrifice!"
In a mont, Cai Yao’s expression changed.
Though he had thousands of words in his heart, he couldn’t voice them and could only nod silently.
Only then did Zu Kang show a slight smile.
Then, he imdiately held a blood sacrifice deep in the mountains.
The power of the mystical skills was perfectly evident at such tis.
Despite the difficult situation.
But due to absolute belief in faith, this blood sacrifice still gradually settled the hearts of the Shanyue people.
That was exactly the effect Zu Kang wanted.
Then, taking advantage of his absolute understanding of the terrain, he launched a surprise attack against Gu Chen amidst the army’s obstruction at a narrow pass.
