I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 248 - 24: Defying Correction to Reverse Fate, Unifying the Realm Once More

Chapter 248: Chapter 24: Defying Correction to Reverse Fate, Unifying the Realm Once More

He wanted the world to be unified as soon as possible to prevent any further variables from arising.

Although Gu Yi can now protect Gu Chen from diseases.

But in terms of lifespan, Gu Yi cannot provide any help now, and Gu Yi must cherish all the time available.

The corresponding content instantly appeared within the prompt.

Once Gu Yi confirmed his choice, a brand new prompt popped up again.

[Achievement points required for current content: 100000]

[Would you like to use it immediately?]

One hundred thousand achievement points!

Even though Gu Yi had resolved, he couldn’t help but tremble inexplicably.

After drawing ten more generals, he now only had 130,000 achievement points left.

This was practically squeezing him dry all at once!

Although Gu Xi’s achievement points had yet to be settled, including the Gu Clan’s current generation led by Gu Chen, who could also bring him achievement points.

But looking at this number, Gu Yi still felt very insecure.

However, he didn’t hesitate for long.

He immediately chose to confirm.

Since he had already decided to resist correction, these were destined to be consumed, so why hesitate?

If the Gu Clan was to shine for generations, it couldn’t bypass correction.

This time, it was the Gu Clan’s first attempt to resist this so-called correction!....

...

Yan Province.

Early morning.

Gu Chen woke up leisurely and immediately saw the suddenly appeared tool on the table not far away.

It was an unusual tool.

Its shape resembled the Xuanji of the present era, but it was noticeably different.

The entire tool was based on a jade Xuanji, with the center embedded with the pattern of the seven stars of the Big Dipper, and the edges engraved with symbols of the twenty-eight constellations or hexagrams;

In its grooves, there were jade rods, each inscribed with tiny runes, slightly shorter than ordinary calculating rods.

Gu Chen’s brow furrowed almost instantly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

But the next moment, he seemed to think of something, and the doubt faded from his face. He then immediately got out of bed, walked to the table, and gently touched the tool on the table.

Gu Yi was constantly watching Gu Chen to see how he intended to use this tool.

Although not much time had passed.

The current situation in Yan Province was not particularly favorable.

Cao Ang, inheriting Cao Cao’s legacy, was highly adept at inspiring people’s hearts.

He perfectly utilized the celestial changes during Gu Chen’s several sieges, calling it "Heaven’s Favor on Cao."

Under such evident circumstances, this kind of superstitious manipulation was a divine weapon, actually stabilizing the originally demoralized Cao army.

It even affected Gu Chen’s army’s morale.

This was the inevitability of this era!

The influence of superstitious manipulation was not easily overcome.

The Spirit Communication Jade had evidently taken effect, and Gu Chen quietly caressed the Xuanji rods, his expression incomparably calm, seemingly planning continuously in his mind.

It was a long time afterward.

Gu Chen finally made some movements and then summoned his civil and military officials for discussion.

He didn’t say much.

He merely announced the intention to hold a sacrificial ceremony.

Everyone had already speculated about this and wasn’t overly surprised.

That night, Gu Chen led several guards to the surrounding mountains and forests, performing star observations at the peak.

The observation lasted the entire night.

Gu Yi didn’t understand astronomy at all and had no idea what Gu Chen had seen, whether he succeeded or not.

But to prevent any accidents, he used two Good Luck Charms on Gu Chen consecutively.

Subsequently, on the following day, Gu Chen immediately held the sacrificial ceremony and in the midst of the army declared, "The Celestial Mandate is in Luo, assisting in breaking Cao."

The three armies shouted in unison.

Their shouts pierced the sky.

This was the difference between Gu Chen and Cao Ang.

Under the immense prestige, the soldiers had absolute confidence in Gu Chen.

The entire army moved out.

Gu Chen’s approach this time was completely different from before.

He divided the entire army into multiple units, each led by a trusted general, waiting for his orders to move.

Nobody could discern Gu Chen’s exact plan.

But out of trust in Gu Chen, the soldiers did not hesitate at all.

Jian’an, fourteenth year, April;

——Gu Chen formally led his army into Lu Country, attacking Lu County.

Heavy rain fell and strong wind persisted;

The wind blew from north to south, extending the range of the defending army’s arrows, significantly affecting Gu Chen’s forces.

Cao Ang was naturally ecstatic about everything that happened.

He continued to propagate the notion of "Heaven’s Aid to Cao" to bolster military morale.

Yet, Gu Chen seemed to have anticipated this.

He ordered Ma Chao to lead his elite cavalry, each man with three horses, directly attacking the south side of Lu County, including Peng City and Dongping territory.

Meanwhile, he continued to attack Lu County.

The wind didn’t stop.

Ma Chao’s forces advanced from the south, and with the wind aiding them, the arrows of Peng City’s defenders couldn’t exert any effect.

Within a few days, Peng City was lost.

The other cities followed suit.

Gu Chen took control of the upper reaches of the Si River, and with continuous heavy rain, the river’s water level kept rising, putting Lu County in jeopardy.

With the precedent of Bai Qi flooding Yan City in the past.

Even though Lu County’s defenses were as solid as Mount Tai, Cao Ang dared not gamble on whether Gu Chen would choose to flood Lu County regardless of casualties, so he had to retreat.

The celestial changes did not cease.

Gu Chen chose not to stay but continued attacking the cities based on ongoing astronomical observations.

Not to mention Gu Yi, even Gu Chen could feel that the continuous celestial changes were targeting him.

The heavy rain caused obstructed paths... mudslides... and even various diseases that emerged within the army.
