I Can Control My Ancestors

Wang Xianzhi is dead.

This seems to be good news for the Great Tang at the moment.

After all, he was the first to raise the banner of rebellion.

Now, completely eradicating him is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the rebel forces from all directions.

But nearly no one could have anticipated that, for the current Great Tang, the greatest threat was never Wang Xianzhi, but always that man with unwavering determination and resolve for rebellion—Huang Chao.

And this so-called "eradication of Wang Xianzhi" is not really a fortunate event for the Great Tang.

On the contrary—

When Wang Xianzhi’s remnants turned to Huang Chao one after another, this victory instead became the enemy’s advantage.

...

Fuzhou State.

"Rest in peace, Brother Wang."

"I shall inherit your will, sweep across this land, bring about a world of brightness."

Huang Chao stood before the multitude and solemnly paid tribute to Wang Xianzhi.

This wasn’t mere pretense, nor was it to win people’s hearts.

He genuinely thought so.

Gu Yi could clearly sense that Huang Chao was walking further down the path he believed in.

Such a person’s conviction goes far beyond ordinary imagination.

Even though, to Gu Yi, a modern man, all of this seemed wrong.

The so-called "equal world" has always been an illusory conception, not achievable even in the highly developed productivity of today, let alone back then.

This is a fundamental error.

But Gu Yi could not say anything about it.

Since the Huaxia people have been developing to today, in fact, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted "Are kings and nobles born?" many things were already destined.

This is the resilience of the Huaxia people.

A so-called chaotic world, aside from its various apparent manifestations, is also propelling the development of the entire Kyushu.

The lessons left by history are not remembered by everyone, yet they quietly change the course of the era in many subtle ways.

Just as when the Yan Han collapsed back then.

Only by moving forward continuously can the era’s transformation be advanced.

Amidst the rising smoke, Huang Chao’s hair fluttered with the wind.

As his words ceased, he turned with resolute eyes to face the countless "army" before him, slowly drawing the long blade from his waist:

"From today, I shall inherit the will of the General, titled—Grand General of the Sky-pierced!"

"Lead the brothers to break through the sky!"

—Break through the sky!

The three words exploded like a thunderclap, and instantly, cries erupted one after another.

"Break through the sky!!!"

"Break through the sky!!!"

"Break through the sky!!!"

The shouts resonated like thunder, echoing across the heavens and earth.

Just when the rebel morale was at its peak.

Without hesitation, Huang Chao led everyone to charge out again.

—The situation of the world drastically changed!

Even before the news of Wang Xianzhi’s annihilation had fully spread, Huang Chao had successively captured several cities.

And Huang Chao showed no intention of stopping.

Whether officials or aristocrats, all fell under his blade.

Moreover, Huang Chao was unlike anyone before him.

His targeting of the aristocrats was not merely for pillaging; even when they submitted, Huang Chao showed no mercy.

He was truly like a killing machine, challenging the entire order of the Great Tang.

And naturally, this would draw everyone’s counteraction.

Just like the Gu Xi of yesteryear.

No, in some sense, what Huang Chao is doing now has already surpassed the Gu Xi of yesteryear.

This has nothing to do with achievements.

Gu Xi’s burdens were too great; he couldn’t be as absolute as Huang Chao.

But Huang Chao had left no retreat for himself.

This will ultimately bring him even greater resistance.

Although the Central Hub of the Great Tang was already decaying, in the face of Huang Chao’s actions, both officials and aristocrats were forced to set aside their past grievances and join forces against him.

Especially with Wang Xianzhi already dead.

This added immense pressure on Huang Chao.

One must know, although the fighting power of the Great Tang’s soldiers had completely deteriorated, they still held a natural advantage over the rebel army composed of displaced masses.

This was a gap Huang Chao couldn’t bridge in a short time.

But he was ultimately different from Wang Xianzhi.

Whether it was the supervision of his subordinates or his thoughts from beginning to end, Huang Chao was much more mature.

Facing the court’s encirclement.

As the army’s situation started to show signs of decline.

Huang Chao immediately made a choice.

Abandon all the captured cities and cross the Yangtze River towards Jiangnan!

This was indeed a very risky move, but the potential benefits were also extremely significant.

With the continued prosperity of maritime trade.

Today, the land of Jiangnan had vaguely become the richest part of the Great Tang.

If indeed he could capture this place, whether for the benefits it could bring to the rebels or the blow it could deal to the entire court, it was all worth Huang Chao’s risk-taking.

...

In the fifth year of Qianfu, March.

Huang Chao’s army attacked the states of Bian and Song, seemingly attacking openly, but in reality, preparing for the subsequent crossing of the river.

No one in the court realized Huang Chao’s true intent.

It’s not a matter of ability.

It’s just that none of these people, from beginning to end, regarded Huang Chao seriously, never thinking he had any commanding talent.

To put it bluntly, it was still a sin of arrogance.

Even though Huang Chao’s power and prestige were growing, his origins were still looked down upon by them.

And Huang Chao was exploiting their mindset.
