He patted the deputy general’s shoulder: \"I know there is a risk, but this is the key to breaking the stalemate. As long as we can strike the enemy’s weakness precisely while disrupting their rear, the scales of victory will tilt in our favor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The deputy general gritted his teeth and finally nodded: \"Yes, General! I will arrange it immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The team acted rapidly, sneaking around to the enemy’s rear under the cover of night. At the same time, Gu Yi directed the main force to launch a fierce attack on the enemy’s front line.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Artillery fire filled the sky, and smoke billowed. Gu Yi held his sword, leading the charge at the very front. His figure was like a bolt of lightning amidst the war, and wherever he went, the enemy was struck with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"General, watch out!\" Suddenly, a soldier shouted and threw himself at Gu Yi, knocking him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A shell exploded where Gu Yi had just been standing, and the blast wave knocked both of them to the ground. Gu Yi climbed up, looked at the soldier who had saved him, and felt filled with gratitude: \"Thank you, brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The soldier smiled honestly: \"General, you are our backbone; you cannot be harmed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi nodded, his eyes flashing with firm light: \"Rest assured, I will be fine. We will definitely win this battle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Encouraged by Gu Yi, the soldiers’ morale soared. They fought bravely, engaging in a life-and-death struggle with the enemy. The team that had circled to the enemy’s rear also successfully launched a surprise attack, throwing the enemy into disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The enemy’s line began to collapse, and they retreated one after another. Gu Yi directed the army to pursue the victory, completely routing the enemy. Peace was restored to the border region once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After the battle, Gu Yi stood on the mountaintop, gazing at the distant sky. His heart was filled with emotion: \"This battle was truly not easy to fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The deputy general walked to his side and said softly: \"General, your foresight is truly divine. If you hadn't discovered the enemy’s weakness, we might still be in a bitter struggle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi shook his head: \"This is not my credit alone. It is the result of everyone’s joint efforts. Every soldier deserves credit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two were silent for a while, and the deputy general suddenly said: \"General, have you ever thought about what you would do if one day you no longer led troops into battle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi was slightly stunned, then laughed: \"Then I would go home and farm. Be an ordinary farmer and live a plain life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The deputy general looked at him in surprise: \"General, you are a great hero! How can you go farming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi smiled: \"Heroes are also human. I also have the right to live an ordinary life. Besides, I think farming is quite good. Watching the crops grow day by day—that sense of achievement is no less than fighting a war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The deputy general nodded thoughtfully: \"General, you are right. No matter what one does, as long as it makes oneself happy and one’s family happy, that is the best life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two chatted for a while, and Gu Yi suddenly said: \"Right, we must hurry back. There is still a lot of work waiting for us to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The deputy general acknowledged, and the two walked down the mountain side by side. They knew that although the battle had ended, the subsequent reconstruction work was equally arduous. They had to continue to work hard to make the border region truly prosperous.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After returning to the camp, Gu Yi immediately gathered the officials and soldiers for a meeting. He deployed the subsequent reconstruction work in detail, including repairing damaged buildings, restoring agricultural production, and strengthening border defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Gentlemen,\" Gu Yi said, standing on the platform with a firm gaze, \"although the battle has ended, our mission is not yet complete. We must make the border region truly prosperous and allow the people to live stable and happy lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone expressed their agreement. They knew that under Gu Yi’s leadership, they would surely be able to overcome all difficulties and complete this arduous task.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the days that followed, Gu Yi led the officials and soldiers into intense reconstruction work. They traveled day and night, sparing no effort, just to let the border region regain its vitality as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As time passed, the border region became increasingly prosperous under Gu Yi’s governance. However, Gu Yi always carried an unspeakable weight in his heart. Whenever the night was deep and quiet, he would stand alone at the highest point of the camp, gazing at the starry sky, his thoughts wandering.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"General, what are you thinking about?\" The deputy general appeared behind him at some point and asked softly. He had followed Gu Yi for many years and knew well that although this general appeared firm on the outside, he hid many unknown emotions within.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi did not turn back, just gazed quietly into the distance: \"I am thinking, although this war has ended, when will true peace arrive? We have paid so many sacrifices; can they really be exchanged for long-term tranquility?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The deputy general was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly: \"General, we all understand your heart. But you must know that you have already done well enough. It was you who led us out of the predicament and allowed the border to regain its vitality. The people are all grateful to you, and we all respect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi sighed gently and turned to look at the deputy general: \"I know you are all comforting me, but I know in my heart that peace cannot be exchanged for a victory or two. It requires the joint efforts of everyone and the accumulation of time. I am just worried whether everything I have done can truly stand the test of time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The deputy general looked into Gu Yi’s deep eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He patted Gu Yi’s shoulder: \"General, don't blame yourself too much. You have already done well enough. And I believe that as long as you are here, we will surely be able to welcome true peace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with gratitude. He knew that he could reach this point today because of the support of these loyal comrades and the people. He took a deep breath and temporarily set aside the worries in his heart: \"Alright, let’s not talk about this. We still have a lot of work to do. Let’s go, let’s go see the newly built school together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two walked down the mountaintop side by side and arrived in front of the newly built school. Watching the children reading and learning with joy and laughter in the classroom, a sense of inexplicable emotion surged in Gu Yi’s heart. He seemed to see the hope of the future and the scene of a more prosperous border region.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"General, look at how happy these children are,\" the deputy general said with a smile. \"They are our future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi nodded: \"Yes, they are our future. What we must do is create a better environment for them so they can grow up healthy and happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As he spoke, Gu Yi walked into the school. He came to a child who was reading and gently touched his head: \"Little friend, what is your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The child looked up at Gu Yi’s kind eyes: \"General, my name is Xiao Ming. When I grow up, I also want to be a hero like you who protects our home!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1327,"2026-06-16T10:17:29.323Z","2026-06-17T08:53:02.455Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3140cdd4e94c7ee67159743fd5ab5bcdadceac5f3050ecebb43494c7b60581ff","three-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-chapter-1026","three-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-chapter-1024",1103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-cover.jpg"]
