It must be said;
——The guidelines were quite right.
Gu Yi didn't need to control Gu Xiao at all times; rather, once he made a decision, Gu Xiao would act according to his development path.
For example, this banquet.
After Gu Yi decided to follow Liu Xiu,
Gu Xiao began to grow closer to Liu Xiu, in line with Gu Yi's thoughts.
But the magic of it wasn't just that, the game's time flow was completely different from real time.
The entire game's time flowed at an astonishing speed.
But the key point was that Gu Yi saw everything happening in the game very clearly, without any information gaps caused by the fast time flow.
He truly watched over everything like a deity.
Steering the entire Gu family according to his will.
Gu Yi understood that this was likely the effect of role immersion; without it, he would at most be a mere spectator.
However, Gu Yi didn't dwell on it.
After confirming that Gu Xiao would indeed act according to his thoughts, he began to study the other functions of the game console.
Namely, the [Family Information].
It must be acknowledged that in this era, for someone like Gu Xiao, who started with nothing, to become an infantry captain commanding seven hundred men, he truly had skill.
At least in terms of martial force.
Gu Xiao indeed counted as a fierce person.
[Name: Gu Xiao]
[Title: Infantry Captain]
[Internal Affairs: 31; Diplomacy: 30; Politics: 43; Leadership: 68; Martial Force: 82]
[Current Reputation: Slightly Known (Levels: None, Slightly Known, Rallying Cry, Known to All)]
Besides Gu Xiao.
Currently, there were four other members in the Gu family.
Three younger sisters and one younger brother.
They were now living in Dingling City; these people were still young and had no notable attributes, which Gu Yi even felt were somewhat low.
Too much of a disparity compared to Gu Xiao.
This was also the helplessness of this era.
In such precarious times, it was difficult to raise all children well, let alone to raise them all properly.
If it weren't for Gu Xiao being an infantry captain, these younger siblings might not survive.
Gu Yi carefully reviewed the attributes of all current family members and still decided to leave them in Dingling City.
If he wanted the family to change.
In the coming days, Gu Xiao would undoubtedly be fighting desperately everywhere.
Since these people were now counted as direct descendants in the system, Gu Yi needed to ensure their safety.
Follow Gu Xiao as he goes with Liu Xiu to conquer the world?
That's too risky.
Gu Yi had to leave an escape route.
Some people always feel that compared to the founding emperors of other dynasties, the process of Liu Xiu establishing the country was much easier.
They said things like "Son of the Celestial Mandate," "Great Dark Mage"...
A series of titles modified by netizens made many ignore the difficulties Liu Xiu faced in building the nation.
But Gu Yi was very clear.
At least judging by the current situation, Liu Xiu didn't even have a ticket to compete for the world!
No, not just now.
Until Liu Xiu took all of Hebei, he didn't have this ticket.
With these thoughts, Gu Yi immediately made a decision, then closed this interface and returned to the game.
......
"Zhan Hong."
"I intend to pursue victory and lead troops to attack Yingyang County, what do you think?"
In just a moment, many days had passed in the game.
At this point, Gu Xiao had evidently successfully joined Liu Xiu's ranks, and Liu Xiu was also discussing the next campaign with him.
Through this battle of Kunyang,
now Liu Xiu's prestige was far beyond what it used to be.
Even though his current position was just a subordinate general, no one would ignore his thoughts anymore.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yi immediately frowned slightly.
The news of Liu Yan's death hadn't arrived yet.
According to historical development, a few days after the battle of Kunyang, Liu Yan attacked and captured Wan City, which became the temporary capital of the Gengshi regime.
Subsequently, Emperor Liu Xuan felt that the brothers Liu Yan and Liu Xiu were too threatening.
Seized the opportunity to assassinate Liu Yan.
Going by the timeline... the action should have been taken already.
Yet the news hadn't come through!
Gu Yi didn't intend to raise an alarm, as he didn't care about Liu Yan's survival. Instead, he immediately nodded, cupped his hands, and said: "I am at the general's command!"
"Good!"
Liu Xiu was overjoyed, "With the courage of Zhan Hong, our army will surely capture the city!!"
The army set out.
It must be said that Liu Xiu's ability to command troops was far scarier than Gu Yi had imagined.
Regarding the early history of Eastern Han's founding,
Gu Yi believed that Liu Xiu was the greatest commander of the time; whether it was the control of battle opportunities or the ability to command the three armies, Liu Xiu was unmatched.
Looking at it now, those words were absolutely true.
Under the terrifying renown achieved by the victory at Kunyang, Liu Xiu's southward journey was a crushing force.
Merely Yingyang County couldn't stop them at all.
During this period, Gu Xiao repeatedly made meritorious achievements, increasing his status under Liu Xiu's command.
Under Liu Xiu's leadership, the Han Army continued marching south, right to Yingchuan, attacking Fu City.
Yet this time, the Han Army was finally stopped.
They had to camp near Jinjuxiang.
"No wonder he is one of the loyal twenty-eight generals recorded in history; Feng Yi's ability, if not finally subdued by Liu Xiu,"
"would truly be a significant trouble."
Hearing the news returned by the scouts, Gu Yi couldn't help but secretly sigh, while also advising Liu Xiu: "The general need not be anxious."
