Chapter 255: Chapter 26: Scouring the Land, End of an Era

Furthermore, to the noble families of the world, they look down on even the people of Kyushu.

Not to mention completely defecting to the Barbarians.

This is ultimately a very rare case.

It is impossible to change the overall situation.

June;

Gu Chen completely cleared out the areas of Yu and Yang, while also stepping into Jingzhou State, not only did he sweep away the noble families of Jingzhou but also aimed his forces directly at Jiangdong.

Now, the only place left to stabilize the world is Jiangdong.

How could he leave such a threat?

Gu Chen first had people throw bamboo tubes into the river, attacking the morale of the army;

His current reputation is too high.

Even surpassing that of Liu Bei, the Emperor.

Although to these soldiers of Jiangdong, they had long anticipated this day would come and had been mentally preparing.

But when it truly happened, the morale of the Jiangdong soldiers was greatly affected.

No one is unafraid of death;

Especially for those lowest ranking soldiers.

They really can’t think of any reasons to make them fight with their lives.

Deserters appeared one after another in various camps.

Even more, some directly brought Jiangdong’s large ships to surrender;

And Gu Chen’s second move was aimed directly at the noble families;

The current noble family environment in Jiangdong.

Can definitely be called the most chaotic place in the world.

There are irreconcilable conflicts between the native noble families of Jiangdong and the later arriving noble families from Jingzhou.

Currently, they can suppress conflicts and unite outwardly only because of Gu Chen’s presence.

Gu Chen now wants to stir up these turbulent clouds once again.

He sent people to see the noble families of Jiangdong.

Offering a psychological attack that if they follow his laws, they can preserve their families;

If they stubbornly resist,

Once he enters Jiangdong, not one will be spared.

This is a sheer cunning plan.

There was never any deep hatred between the noble families of Jiangdong and Gu Chen, and in the current situation, preserving the family, at most losing a bit of profit, is definitely a worthwhile deal.

This is a very easy choice to make.

Although they have joined forces again, no one believes that with this little strength they can stop Gu Chen;

Jiangdong is in chaos once more.

And this time the strife is even more intense than before.

Sun Quan would never surrender.

The vendetta of his father’s death leaves him with only a complete fight to the death.

But no matter how hard he tries, it’s ultimately futile.

In this overwhelming situation.

Looking through ancient and modern times, only Gu Xi, who had once reached the pinnacle, had a slight chance to make a desperate fight.

Sun Quan indeed has remarkable qualities.

But how could he possibly measure up to the former Gu Xi?

The overall situation is already set.

Zhangwu, fourth year, March;

The internal strife in Jiangdong was completely out of control, first with the Jiangdong noble families losing heart, then continuous desertions;

In various circumstances.

Gu Chen finally saw the opportunity and acted;

Utilizing the large ships brought by the deserters, he crossed the Yangtze River and officially set foot in Jiangdong.

The people of Jiangdong stood on both sides of the road to welcome him, and the noble families of Jiangdong also joyfully greeted his royal forces.

Turning over all their private soldiers to Gu Chen.

And Gu Chen used this momentum to attack cities one after another. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Zhou Yu and Lu Su did think of blocking him, but ultimately were unable to prevent the sky from falling, and they successively fell to Gu Chen’s hands, committing suicide afterward;

Guan Yu killed Lv Meng;

Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and others successively broke the enemy.

Taishi Ci and many Jiangdong generals surrendered one after another;

Sun Quan did not wish to die in humiliation.

He personally led his army to face Gu Chen in battle, but Gu Chen led his elite troops to directly disperse their formation, Sun Quan, unwilling to be humiliated by his father’s killer, committed suicide before the formation!

Jiangdong was completely pacified.

And afterward, Gu Chen once again turned the butcher’s knife upon the noble families from Jingzhou who had fled to Jiangdong;

Compared to other states and counties in the world.

The noble power in Jiangdong is indeed much stronger.

Those noble families from Jingzhou who had been resisting could not completely resign themselves and continued to engage in guerrilla warfare with Gu Chen in Jiangdong.

But all of this was ultimately futile.

Although these tactics cost Gu Chen some time.

In the end, the outcome was inevitable.

October;

Gu Chen completely eradicated the resistance forces in Jiangdong, reintegrated the entire Jiangdong area into the territory of the Great Han, and drew up a detailed geographic map, thoroughly stabilizing the situation in Jiangdong.

The core of the former noble families in Jingzhou was all executed by Gu Chen;

The rest were spared from death but were sent by Gu Chen to open up new lands;

Afterward, Gu Chen continued from Jiangdong and went to various places.

Bing, Yan, Liang, Yi,

The noble families of the four states and counties were successively purged, and afterward, Gu Chen did not return to Luoyang, but dispatched senior generals to guard the borders.

He himself hurried to Youzhou.

This took everyone by surprise.

From Liu Bei, to the ministers in the court, and the Gu Clan siblings, all wanted Gu Chen to return to Luoyang.

After all, Gu Chen had no heir yet.

But without any surprise, Gu Chen refused.

He was destined not to stop.

After ensuring that the Great Han was moving in the right direction, he set his sights on the foreign enemies he had once focused on.

Gu Chen had absolute confidence in his judgment.

However, he did not act rashly, instead gradually letting the new generation of the Great Han adapt to the tactics of foreign enemies.

This naturally included some martial adept members of the Gu Clan.

This is inheritance.

Until now—

Even the lower-class common folk have already sensed the changes in the whole world.

Those noble scions who once lorded over them have gradually disappeared, and even those once arrogant officials no longer behave as they did in the past.
