This peace treaty was undoubtedly a major deprivation of Liu Biao’s sovereignty, but Gu Yi knew well that in such a situation, Liu Biao had no room for bargaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peace treaty was sent to Jingzhou with fast horses. When Liu Biao received the treaty, his face was uncertain. Kuai Yue advised on the side: \"My lord, endure for a moment and the wind will be calm. As long as we preserve our strength, there may not be no chance of turning things around in the future.\" Liu Biao clenched his fists tightly and finally signed his name on the treaty. He understood that this was the only way to save Jingzhou at present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Chang'an City, Gu Yi was secretly proud when he learned that Liu Biao had agreed to the treaty. He understood that this was not just the submission of Jingzhou, but an opportunity to show his power to the world. He decided to hold a grand ceremony to officially announce the acceptance of Liu Biao’s submission and take this opportunity to declare his ambition to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day of the ceremony, Chang'an City was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and the people poured into the streets, wanting to see this historic moment. Gu Yi, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood on the high altar, overlooking the crowd below, and a surge of unprecedented ambition rose in his heart. He read out the contents of the peace treaty loudly, and every sentence seemed to be declaring his authority to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, behind this glamorous appearance, Gu Yi’s heart was hidden with deep worry. He knew clearly that the road to ascending the throne was not smooth, and there were many challenges in the future. He must remain clear-headed at all times and constantly strengthen his power to remain invincible in this chaotic world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After the ceremony, Gu Yi returned to the Prime Minister’s Mansion and sat alone in the study to ponder. He thought of Jia Xu’s words that the matter of ascending the throne needed to be handled with caution. He knew well that although he had mastered most of the power, there were still many potential enemies eyeing him covetously. He must plan every step more carefully to ensure his rule was as stable as Mount Tai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Gu Yi raised his head and saw a guard hurry into the study, kneel down, and report: \"My lord, urgent report from the north! Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought, Yuan Shao was defeated, and Cao Cao has occupied Jizhou!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Gu Yi’s heart shook. He understood that this meant the situation in the north had undergone a major change again. Cao Cao’s rise was undoubtedly a major threat to his future path to the throne. He must take action as soon as possible to consolidate his power in the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi quickly summoned his strategists to discuss countermeasures. After a fierce discussion, they decided to send envoys to Cao Cao to try to establish a friendly relationship with him, while strengthening the defense of the north to prevent Cao Cao from suddenly making trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gu Yi knew in his heart that this was just an expedient measure. The real contest was still in the future. He must constantly improve his strength to remain invincible in this chaotic world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news of Gu Yi’s decision to ascend the throne blew across the entire Central Plains like a spring breeze. Warlords everywhere were either shocked, terrified, or secretly pondering how to seek their own interests in this new situation. And Gu Yi began the intense preparation work for ascending the throne. He not only strengthened the defense of Chang'an City but also personally led the army to start the conquest of the surrounding areas to further consolidate his sphere of influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to bear the brunt was Liangzhou in the west. Liangzhou had dangerous terrain, and the Liangzhou army led by Xu Rong was brave and good at fighting, which was a stumbling block on Gu Yi’s path to the throne. Gu Yi knew well that if he wanted to ascend the throne smoothly, he must first take Liangzhou into his bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he mobilized the most elite troops under his command, led by himself, and marched toward Liangzhou in a mighty manner. Wherever the army passed, dust flew, banners blocked the sun, and the momentum was magnificent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two armies met on the plain outside Liangzhou City. At that time, the sky was overcast, as if foreshadowing the upcoming bloody battle. Gu Yi rode on a tall horse, his gaze like a torch. He looked around and saw that the soldiers on his side were all high-spirited and morale was high. And opposite, the Liangzhou army led by Xu Rong was also waiting in full battle array, and the swords and spears flashed with cold light in the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud horn sound, the battle officially started. Gu Yi took the lead, holding a long spear, and rushed into the enemy formation. Wherever he went, the enemies fell off their horses one after another. His bravery inspired the soldiers under his command, and they fought bravely and were unstoppable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Liangzhou army was not an ordinary army either. Xu Rong was even more experienced in many battles. He commanded calmly, and the Liangzhou army resisted stubbornly under his leadership, and the two sides fell into a stalemate. On the battlefield, swords flashed and shadows flickered, flesh and blood flew, and the sounds of wailing and war drums intertwined, forming a tragic picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi knew that this would not work. He calmed down and observed the situation on the battlefield. Suddenly, he discovered that the left flank of the Liangzhou army was relatively weak, so he immediately commanded a part of the elite forces to launch a fierce attack on the left flank of the Liangzhou army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move was indeed effective. The left flank of the Liangzhou army gradually could not hold on under the fierce attack of Gu Yi’s army and began to show signs of collapse. Seeing this, Gu Yi shouted and led the army to pursue the victory, and the Liangzhou army was suddenly plunged into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xu Rong was shocked. He tried to stabilize the formation, but Gu Yi’s army was unstoppable and could not be blocked at all. Finally, Xu Rong was personally captured by Gu Yi in the chaotic army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the battle of Liangzhou, Gu Yi won a great victory. He not only captured Xu Rong but also successfully occupied Liangzhou. This battle not only further consolidated Gu Yi’s sphere of influence but also made his name spread far and wide, and the world was shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gu Yi did not stop there because of this. He knew well that the road to ascending the throne was still long, and he must continue to move forward. Therefore, after occupying Liangzhou, Gu Yi led the army without stopping and marched toward the next target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, his target was Bingzhou in the north. Bingzhou had dangerous terrain and was guarded by the famous general Gao Gan, which was another major obstacle on Gu Yi’s path to the throne. But Gu Yi did not retreat because of this. He firmly believed that as long as he moved forward bravely, nothing could stop him from moving forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle of Bingzhou was more intense than the battle of Liangzhou. Gao Gan was a fierce general under Cao Cao, and the Bingzhou army he led had extremely strong combat effectiveness, and the terrain of Bingzhou was extremely unfavorable to Gu Yi’s army. But Gu Yi was not discouraged because of this. He personally took the field, commanded calmly, and fought a life-and-death battle with the Bingzhou army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the battle, Gu Yi showed extraordinary martial arts and command talent. He led the army to break through the defensive line of the Bingzhou army time and again, and repelled the counterattack of the Bingzhou army time and again. The two sides went back and forth and fought inextricably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as time passed, Gu Yi’s army gradually gained the upper hand. They relied on the advantages in numbers and equipment, as well as Gu Yi’s excellent command, and gradually forced the Bingzhou army to a dead end. Finally, in a thrilling decisive battle, Gu Yi personally beheaded Gao Gan, and the Bingzhou army completely collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The victory of the battle of Bingzhou marked that Gu Yi’s power in the north had reached its peak. He not only occupied Bingzhou but also reorganized the Bingzhou army, making his army even stronger. At the same time, this battle also made the warlords of the world even more in awe of Gu Yi, and they began to show favor to Gu Yi one after another in order to maintain their status in the future chaotic world.\u003C\u002Fp>",1548,"2026-06-16T10:17:29.323Z","2026-06-16T10:29:14.565Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","34f327faae55585da7f8727a4ac3f4c3ad4fba9bf0ca833801308369092fe856","three-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-chapter-1042","three-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-chapter-1040",1103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-cover.jpg"]
