The Battle that Pacified the Three Barbarians!
This achievent is the first of its kind since the revival of the Great Han.
The pride of the entire Great Han reached its peak this day.
Liu Chen certainly would not miss such an opportunity, and quickly spread this news, using the talents of the Imperial College students to promulgate the majesty of the Great Han.
The entire Great Han was in an uproar!
The Gu Clan’s descendants, combined with this kind of battle situation, could truly stir the hearts of the people.
A prosperous era has descended once again.
This was a thought erging from the depths of everyone’s heart.
Although the natural disasters had long passed.
There is no denying that a slight gloom still lingered in the hearts of the Great Han’s people, a gloom that needed ti or other uplifting events to dispel.
And this ti, it was precisely such an occasion.
Gu Yi was right.
As Gu Ye’s na once again spread throughout the world, growing increasingly louder,
An idea, long agreed upon, was finally voiced.
"When a son of the Gu Clan erges, the kingdom thrives!"
Various nursery rhys erged successively from all directions.
This was not the credit of Gu Ye’s generation alone, but the result of generations of effort from the Gu Clan’s descendants.
Even were it figures like Gu Kang, Gu Xi, Gu Chen known throughout the world.
Under the Gu Clan’s most stringent educational system, even those unnad Gu Clan descendants were shining for the entire family.
And now...
It was ti for these efforts to blossom and bear fruit.
Of course, this notion also placed an additional constraint on the Gu Clan.
That was the need for genuine talent to arise to re-enter the core of the court.
But for the Gu Clan, this was no problem.
The purpose of entering the core of the court was undoubtedly to continuously expand the clan’s influence.
Does the Gu Clan currently lack influence?
With the progression of the tis, the Gu Clan must gradually reform.
No matter what——
The Gu Clan must not bind itself solely to one dynasty, but rather to the whole of Kyushu!
The court officials were well aware of this, but even if they were displeased, it was destined they could not prevent it.
In the current Great Han....which family could compare to the Gu Clan?
No——
The Gu Clan could no longer be called just a family.
Julu had beco a holy place; even in tis of great upheaval, Julu remained unaffected.
Throughout history, this kind of phenonon had never appeared before.
Compared to other families, they seed almost laughable.
Not to ntion those families;
Even the royal Liu family, so what?
Could their standing in the hearts of the people truly surpass that of the Gu Clan?
The Gu Clan had transcended the definition of "family" and, through generations of effort, had vaguely stepped towards becoming a belief.
This was an irreversible trend!
But before this fervor could settle, Gu Yi’s proposal on governing the Barbarians was returned.
——A monuntal upheaval!
This impact far exceeded the previous battle report.
The sheer number of policies sent the entire atmosphere of the Great Han’s court to its peak.
For the court ministers, these policies were unimaginable.
Even Zhang Hua, Zhong Hui, and others were bewildered.
Gu Yi had anticipated this and explained the reasons in the morial, providing so reasonable justifications.
Yet this system still t with much resistance.
This was completely unavoidable.
The pride of the Great Han’s officials surpassed that of ordinary people; how could they accept the system proposed by Gu Yi?
For them——
If the Barbarians wished to approach the Great Han, complete subjugation was the only way.
This caused a great upheaval in the court, precipitating detailed discussions and debates among the ministers.
Liu Chen hesitated as well.
No matter how wise he might be, he was bound to be limited by the era.
Moreover, the current situation was completely different from the original history; at least now, Shenzhou still existed, the Great Han still existed.
All of this was far too subversive for him.
But out of trust in Gu Ye, he began to consider the matter seriously.
Engaged in a detailed discussion with Zhang Hua, Zhong Hui, and others.
Zhang Hua and others were indeed extraordinary; after days of contemplation, they grasped the profound intentions of Gu Yi.
But to take this step was still extrely difficult for them.
The most difficult was Liu Chen.
Undoubtedly, if this were to succeed, these Barbarians would eventually integrate into the Great Han, and their lands would ultimately beco Han territory.
This was not a superficial occupation.
Cultural integration ant these lands would completely beco part of Kyushu, just as in ancient tis.
If this truly ca to pass——
His accomplishnts as Emperor would rank highly, even among all the emperors of the two Han dynasties.
But if it led to greater turmoil, as those resistant predicted, the downfall of Kyushu,
Then Liu Chen would beco the sinner of the entire Kyushu.
Such a decision is not easy for any emperor to make.
But let’s not forget, he is Liu Chen!
——Better to die in battle than to surrender the land handed down from his ancestors.
This alone spoke volus of his character.
Knowing that if successful, unimaginable benefits would co to the Great Han,
How could he hesitate?
As for failure——Liu Chen cared not.
If it failed, he would fight back again.
Even if in the future he was no longer in this world, future generations would continue the fight for the Great Han.
Liu Chen was not Liu Shan!
He would rather make mistakes than choose to do nothing!
Especially as it was proposed by a son of the Gu Clan.
Once determined, Liu Chen quickly silenced all dissent within the court.
Both the Emperor and the Chancellor approved the matter.
The situation was firmly settled.
Liu Chen’s imperial edict was swiftly dispatched to the Northern Border, entrusting everything to Gu Ye, heralding another great advance for all of Kyushu.
....
From this point on, changes began——
Dostic City.
Wen Yang had indeed restrained himself sowhat, though he did not pursue far, he still killed many.
The King of Goguryeo had already relocated far away.
Under the threat of the Han Army, he dared not even think of turning back.
No way.....Gu Yi’s attitude towards the Xianbei Wuhuan nobles truly filled him with dread.
Gu Yi had been waiting for the court’s decision.
Although the Gu Clan was no longer bound by much, unless they truly took that step, they had to maintain certain things in the current era.
Yet stepping beyond ant the demise of the Gu Clan.
The foundations built by generations would instantly vanish.
Finally, with the passing of ti, the imperial edict was delivered.
Gu Yi glanced at it briefly.
Then handed the edict directly to Wen Yang, saying seriously, "Ah Yang, can you take on this responsibility?"
A great general must be stationed here.
This was essential before the implentation of the new system.
"Grand General, I am confident I can accomplish this mission," Wen Yang replied without hesitation, resolute and powerful.
He had always been this confident.
But the process of elevating a general to a regional commander was never simple.
However, fortunately, what Wen Yang truly needed to do was simply to intimidate.
Gu Yi did not hesitate, imdiately beginning preparations.
This was destined to et resistance.
The appearance of any new system is never easily accepted at its onset.
But what could resistance achieve?
Gu Yi would show no rcy, putting all to death.
He intended to lay the foundation for this reform with blood, paving this road!
——————
"The cultural integration proposed by Grand General Gu Ye during the Yan Han period marks a significant turning point in the history of our country’s developnt.
The cultural integration practices he implented not only highlighted the inclusive nature of our civilization.
It also provided valuable experience in ethnic governance for future generations.
This dialogue across the grassland and agricultural civilizations eventually forged the foundational stone for the civilizations of later dynasties, laying a robust foundation for their future glory."
