He knew that subduing Chen Gong was not only an recognition of his talent but also an important influence on the mentality of the scholars in Yanzhou. Chen Gong had a good reputation among the scholars in Yanzhou, and his submission would undoubtedly lead more scholars to lean toward Gu Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gongtai, please rise; obtaining you is like adding wings to a tiger!\" Gu Yi's words carried a bit of sincerity and anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Gong stood up, his gaze firm, and secretly vowed in his heart to help Gu Yi achieve a hegemony in these chaotic times, to avenge Zhang Miao and Xu Si, and also to realize his own ambitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the council hall, and a messenger hurried in, knelt on one knee, and presented a secret letter with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Report to the Chancellor, urgent report! Cao Cao is leading a grand army and is rushing toward Chen Liu, intending to take back the lost territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi took the secret letter, browsed it quickly, frowned slightly, then relaxed, and laughed: \"Just in time; I was just wanting to have a battle with Cao Mengde to decide who is the winner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Gong, hearing this on the side, had his heart stir and took the initiative to ask for the task: \"Chancellor, Cao Cao coming this time must be with all his elite troops; although our army has won, we still need to lay out carefully. I am willing to lead an army to set up an ambush halfway to frustrate his spirit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi nodded in appreciation; he knew deeply about Chen Gong's resourcefulness and courage, and this plan was feasible. Thus, he quickly deployed troops, ordering Chen Gong to lead Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong, two generals, and lead five thousand elite soldiers to the predetermined ambush location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later, Cao Cao's grand army arrived as scheduled, aggressive and fierce, dust flying. Cao Cao rode on a tall horse, his gaze like a torch, vowing to wash away the previous shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when Cao Cao's grand army entered a dense forest, suddenly the sounds of killing rose everywhere, and the ambush troops led by Chen Gong surged from all directions, arrows raining down, and the Cao army immediately fell into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao was shocked and ordered the grand army to retreat, but discovered that the retreat route had been cut off by Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong, two generals, leading troops. The Cao army fell into a bitter battle and suffered heavy losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Cao Cao was overwhelmed, Gu Yi personally led the main force to arrive, and fierce generals like Huang Zhong, Pang De, and Yan Xing took the lead, charging into the battle formation as if entering no-man's land. Seeing this, Cao Cao knew the general trend was gone and had to order a retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this battle, Gu Yi achieved a great victory, not only severely damaging Cao Cao's main force but also further consolidating control over Yanzhou. And Chen Gong's resourcefulness and battle achievements also became a good story in the army, and his prestige was even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the battle, Gu Yi held a grand celebration banquet in Chen Liu city to reward the three armies. At the banquet, Gu Yi raised his glass to Chen Gong: \"Gongtai, today's victory is largely due to you. I want to appoint you as the Left Military Advisor to plan major events with the Right Military Advisor Xun You; are you willing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chen Gong was excited and quickly stood up and knelt to thank him: \"The subordinate is willing to do his utmost for the Chancellor and die for it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Chen Gong's submission and heavy use, Gu Yi's power grew day by day, not only controlling Yanzhou but also gradually expanding to surrounding prefectures and counties. And Cao Cao suffered heavy losses and had to temporarily lie low to wait for an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in chaotic times, peace is always short-lived. Not long after, Yuan Shao rose in Hebei, intending to unify the north, which posed a new threat to Gu Yi. Gu Yi discussed with strategists like Chen Gong and Xun You and decided to take the initiative to attack and strike first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A battle of larger scale was about to begin. Gu Yi personally led the grand army, Chen Gong and Xun You followed the army to go on an expedition, and fierce generals like Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, and Hua Xiong each led an army, dividing into multiple routes to press directly on Yuan Shao's heartland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grand armies of both sides stood off at Guandu, and the battle situation was unprecedentedly fierce. Gu Yi and Chen Gong planned and laid out cleverly, defeating Yuan Shao's offensive many times. And Yuan Shao gradually showed fatigue, and his morale was low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day of the decisive battle, Gu Yi personally took to the field and fought side by side with Chen Gong. Huang Zhong shot down Yuan Shao's commander flag with an arrow, and morale was greatly boosted. The Cao army pursued the victory, and Yuan Shao was defeated and fled back to Ye City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this battle, Gu Yi shook the north, and Yuan Shao never recovered. Gu Yi pursued the victory, gradually annexing Yuan Shao's territory, and the sphere of influence expanded to the north of the Yellow River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assisted by strategists like Chen Gong and Xun You, Gu Yi's regime became increasingly stable, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the economy and culture were prosperous. And Gu Yi also grew from a young general into a monarch with grand strategies, and his name left a heavy stroke in the long river of history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Gong stood on the city tower, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, his heart filled with emotion. He was glad that he met a wise monarch like Gu Yi, which allowed him to display his talent and realize his ambitions. And he also used his wisdom and loyalty to repay Gu Yi's trust and heavy use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the continuous growth of Gu Yi's power, his gaze was no longer limited to the northern land. He knew deeply that true hegemony required unifying the world and letting the people truly enjoy peace and tranquility. Thus, after in-depth discussions with core strategists like Chen Gong and Xun You, Gu Yi decided to lead the army south to compete for the vast world of the Central Plains and even Jiangnan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the road south, the first to bear the brunt was Jingzhou. Jingzhou Governor Liu Biao, although old, had strategists like clouds and fierce generals like rain under his command, especially his son Liu Cong, who was hailed as the hope of Jingzhou's future. However, Gu Yi knew deeply that Jingzhou was not of one piece internally; complex contradictions and disputes existed between Liu Biao and Liu Cong, as well as among the major families in Jingzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Gong proposed using the internal contradictions of Jingzhou to adopt a strategy of division and disintegration. Gu Yi adopted this suggestion and sent secret envoys to Jingzhou to secretly contact families and generals dissatisfied with Liu Biao, promising them heavy profits to divide their internal forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Gu Yi personally led the grand army to press on the border, creating a tense atmosphere. Hearing the news, Liu Biao was terrified, his illness worsened, and not long after, he passed away. His son Liu Cong, with the support of Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and others, succeeded as Jingzhou Governor. However, Liu Cong was young and vigorous, lacking political experience, and facing Gu Yi's grand army pressing on the border, he chose to surrender to preserve the lives of the people in Jingzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi successfully took over Jingzhou, treated Liu Cong and his subordinates with courtesy, reused those with talent, and quickly stabilized the situation in Jingzhou. In this battle, Gu Yi not only obtained Jingzhou's territory and military strength but, more importantly, won the hearts of the people in Jingzhou, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent southern expedition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Gu Yi's target was pointed directly at Jiangdong. Jiangdong's Sun Quan, inheriting his father and brother's foundation, had already gone through three generations, with a deep foundation. And Jiangdong had many talents; Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Xun, and others were all famous generals of the current age. Gu Yi knew that the battle with Jiangdong would be the most difficult battle on his path to unification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Gong again proposed an exquisite strategy. He suggested first conducting diplomatic negotiations with Sun Quan to test his attitude, while secretly contacting the opposition in Jiangdong to seek internal support. If the negotiations were fruitless, then resort to force, using the momentum of thunder to break them in one fell swoop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi acted according to the plan, sending envoys to Jiangdong to engage in negotiations with Sun Quan. However, Sun Quan was high-spirited and unwilling to submit to Gu Yi, and the negotiations eventually broke down. Thus, Gu Yi ordered the grand army to set off, pointing directly at Jiangdong.\u003C\u002Fp>",1553,"2026-06-16T10:17:29.323Z","2026-06-16T10:29:14.565Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e6242d45724e608e31c1b9ee3ed623aa0053e278cc42b624fbcdd5ab19a91ad4","three-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-chapter-1018","three-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-chapter-1016",1103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-cover.jpg"]
