I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 330 - 22: Mount Tai Fengshan, Opening the Window to the World
Although Lingnan can only be more challenging than this.
But the current prosperous era of the Great Han is enough to support everything.
Moreover, Gu Han has already laid a very good foundation.
Hearing this, Liu Chen fell silent once again.
His eyes were extremely complex, countless thoughts swirling in his mind.
On one hand, it was his innate passion;
On the other hand, it was the calmness of an emperor.
Gu Yi was not in a hurry; he simply watched Liu Chen silently.
He had great confidence in Liu Chen.
As far as the Great Han is concerned.
There was no more suitable ruler for expansion than Liu Chen.
Sure enough, Liu Chen quickly made a decision, staring at Gu Ye, and said seriously, "Since the Gu Clan is willing to move forward with difficulty, how can I hesitate?"
The passion was ultimately hard to extinguish.
An emperor destined to achieve great feats would not lose his ambition because of old age.
He slowly stood up, walked to Gu Ye, and earnestly took Gu Ye’s hand, saying, "I still say the same, Zhao De, just move forward."
"I will be in Luoyang."
"Protect everything!"
With this simple sentence, Liu Chen’s attitude was fully expressed.
He was like Liu Zhuang in the past.
Giving the Gu Clan absolute trust.
Determined to establish a solid foundation for the Great Han within this generation!
.....
This matter instantly caused a huge uproar in the court.
——Dispatch troops to Lingnan!
After many years, when the ministers heard of this again, they still felt it was somewhat fantastical.
They really couldn’t figure out what dispatching troops to Lingnan would bring to the Great Han.
Just like the current Northern Border.
Even to this day, no Han people would want to migrate to such a desolate place.
This is completely a matter of harm and no benefit.
Memorials were sent up in an instant, and some even mentioned the past expedition of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, to Lingnan, criticizing it was all for naught and a burden to the people and the treasury.
Hoping Liu Chen would not imitate Emperor Wu of Han.
Faced with these memorials, which were almost akin to scolding one’s ancestors, how could Liu Chen not be furious?
However, this couldn’t stop the ministers from advising against it.
Even students from the Imperial College spoke up, intending to obstruct the military expedition. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
In the face of such large-scale protest.
Not to mention Liu Shan, even Liu Bei as the emperor would consider the feasibility of this matter.
But Liu Chen was different after all.
Just like Liu Zhuang in the past, once he decided, he would never back down!
After so many years of personnel adjustments.
Liu Chen’s position could no longer be shaken, especially with the support of people like Zhang Hua.
Facing the opposition from the ministers’ memorials.
He directly decided on the matter against all dissent.
Under such circumstances, the Great Han, at the height of its prosperity, immediately demonstrated the power it ought to have.
Forces from all directions moved one after another.
Including medicines to prevent miasma and various resources such as provisions.
The current Great Han, whether in the morale of the soldiers or in the people’s trust in the court, was at its peak.
Not to mention, this expedition was personally led by Gu Ye.
This further bolstered the people’s confidence in the inevitable victory of the Han Army.
Forces mobilize——
Even before the troops moved, news came from Wen Yang.
He wanted to join Gu Ye in the expedition to Lingnan.
Wen Yang had truly matured greatly; although Lu Kang was still present in the Northern Border, the stability of the Northern Border proved that Wen Yang already had the capacity to hold a region.
Therefore, Gu Yi did not refuse.
Though he had absolute confidence, when going to battle, why would he leave behind his sharpest blade and not use it?
Whether it was Wen Yang or the forces under his command.
They were undoubtedly the most elite group in the current Great Han.
Gu Yi had no intention of thinking like "why use a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken."
No matter how many advantages the Great Han had on the surface, Gu Yi also wanted to make all the necessary preparations!
Gu Yi also wanted to see.
When the greatest threat was removed, would the situation in the Northern Border change?
The Great Han could not keep its eyes only on the Northern Border all the time.
This time, it was a very good opportunity!
In addition——
Gu Yi also mobilized many barbarian troops for this battle.
In combat in such special environments.
Their ability to adapt would far exceed that of Han soldiers who have always lived in the Central Plains.
For this, Gu Yi even drew several times.
To see if he could draw any props beneficial for this battle.
What Gu Yi truly wanted was——the Anti-Miasma Pill.
This prop was ordinary.
But for this battle, its role was extremely significant.
The pity was, even though Gu Yi was keen on drawing, he couldn’t consume too much.
In the end, he only got two Anti-Miasma Pills.
As for the "Wall Breaker Card" and "Longevity Card" that Gu Yi really wanted, they were completely absent.
However, this was sufficient.
To the Gu Clan.
Props were ultimately aids. In order to walk continuously on this thorny path, manpower was the key.
