Chapter 1060: Furrowed into a 'chuan' shape

~7 min read 1,254 words

"Where is Lu Bu?" Gu Yi's brows furrowed into a 'chuan' shape. He quickly climbed off the bed, put on his armor, and prepared to walk toward the entrance of the military tent.

At this time, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu also walked out of the military tent one after another. Seeing Gu Yi wake up, surprise revealed itself in their eyes.

"My lord, why were you here last night?" Zhao Yun asked suspiciously.

"I don't know either, but I seem to have had a dream last night, dreaming that we won the war. I thought it was a dream, but after waking up, I found that this dream actually existed; it really was a dream. I think it must be because I was too tired, which is why I had such a dream!"

"Oh?" Zhao Yun was stunned; he looked at Gu Yi. "Brother Gu, then what do you think was the reason that prompted you to have this beautiful dream?"

Gu Yi thought carefully; he thought of his dream.

"Could it be..."

Gu Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide; he thought of the content of the dream. "Could it be Lu Bu?"

"Yes!" Guan Yu nodded and said with a chuckle: "My lord, did you fight hundreds of rounds with Lu Bu last night?"

"That's right, exactly so." Gu Yi said with a smile: "At that time, we were all very nervous because Lu Bu is a great general; his martial arts are superb, and I was no match for him. But later, we still won!"

"Oh? Then, Brother Gu, can you tell me how exactly you defeated Lu Bu?"

Gu Yi's face was filled with pride; he looked at Zhao Yun and Guan Yu and said: "Although Lu Bu's martial arts are not bad, he is not a natural-born military general; he was only being used by Dong Zhuo, and his martial arts had no way to exert the strength they should have had. This is the reason why we were able to defeat him!"

Zhao Yun and Guan Yu nodded upon hearing this; they also felt that Gu Yi's words made a lot of sense. "Then how did Lu Bu's martial arts become so weak? Could it be that Dong Zhuo secretly exerted some pressure?"

"That's impossible!" Gu Yi shook his head and said: "Dong Zhuo couldn't have exerted pressure!"

Zhao Yun nodded; he also felt that what Gu Yi said made some sense. "Let's go back first! After the soldiers have rested enough, we will discuss this matter again!"

Gu Yi nodded; his gaze fell on Guan Yu, and he smiled. "General Guan, I have a request."

"Brother Gu, you are the commander-in-chief of the Iron-Blooded Legion; if you have any orders, just say them, and we will surely do our utmost to complete them!" Guan Yu said readily; he was also the deputy general of the Iron-Blooded Legion, so he would naturally execute Gu Yi's instructions without hesitation.

"General Guan, we repelled Lu Bu's offensive last night; I think you must all be very tired, right?" Gu Yi looked at Guan Yu and Zhao Yun with a smile and said: "Since that is the case, I hope you can get some good rest. I am treating everyone tonight; let's all have a good feast, and I will celebrate the victory for everyone!"

Gu Yi's invitation made Zhao Yun and Guan Yu feel very happy; they were filled with respect and gratitude toward Gu Yi. Thus, they returned to the military camp with Gu Yi, preparing to start celebrating their victory.

When they returned to the military camp, night had already fallen; the bonfire was leaping in the night wind, emitting a warm glow. Gu Yi led all the soldiers, set up the banquet, and prepared to start celebrating.

Everyone sat around the bonfire, laughing and chatting, full of joy. Gu Yi raised his wine cup, toasted everyone, and congratulated them on their courage and the victory in battle. He said with great emotion: "Today we defeated Lu Bu; this is the result of our unity and struggle, and everyone has made huge efforts for this. I feel very proud and also very honored to be able to fight alongside you!"

The soldiers raised their wine cups one after another and responded in unison: "Toast to victory!" They drank the wine, and an enthusiastic atmosphere permeated the air.

At the victory banquet, everyone exchanged their experiences and feelings in the battle, and laughter and cheers were endless. The soldiers toasted Gu Yi's wisdom, courage, and leadership one after another, filled with admiration and reverence for him. Gu Yi, meanwhile, continuously expressed his gratitude to the soldiers; he believed that it was everyone's unity and hard work that allowed them to defeat the strong enemy.

The bonfire burned brightly, and the warm firelight reflected on everyone's faces. The soldiers, with satisfied and joyful expressions, enjoyed this hard-won moment of victory. They drank fine wine, tasted various delicious dishes, and celebrated their victory, as well as their friendship and unity.

The victory banquet lasted for a long time; the soldiers spoke freely, telling of their dreams and hopes. They encouraged and supported each other, looking forward to the future together. Everyone felt incomparably proud and satisfied; they knew that as long as they were united as one, they could overcome any difficulty and enemy.

"My lord, your martial arts are truly amazing!"

"My lord, your strategy is even more amazing!"

"My lord, your courage and boldness are admirable!"

"My lord, you are the person I respect the most!"

"My lord, please drink!"

Gu Yi accepted the praise and toasts of the soldiers with a chuckle, which made his mood even more pleasant.

After the victory banquet ended, Gu Yi returned to the Commander's Mansion. Just as his figure entered the mansion, two soldiers ran over hurriedly, knelt on the ground, and shouted hurriedly: "Greetings, my lord!"

"You may rise!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

A look of confusion appeared on Gu Yi's face; he did not understand what these two had come to find him for. He asked: "Do you have something to find me for?"

"My lord, we have been ordered to come and convey your orders!"

The figures of Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei immediately appeared before Gu Yi's eyes.

In these few days, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei had arrived in Yizhou one after another; now they should have already rushed to Yecheng.

Gu Yi's mouth curled; he knew that they were contacting him!

Gu Yi nodded with a smile and said to the two soldiers: "Good! I know! You may go down!"

"As you command!"

The two soldiers bowed respectfully and left the Commander's Mansion. Gu Yi turned and entered the main hall; he sat on a chair and asked: "Where are Zhao Zilong, Guan Yu, and Dian Wei now?"

"Reporting to my lord, they are currently in the deliberation hall."

"Good, I know!" Gu Yi stood up and walked out of the main hall.

"Greetings, my lord!"

Hearing the footsteps, everyone immediately stopped their discussion and stood up.

"Everyone, no need for formalities!" Gu Yi said with a smile. He looked around at all the soldiers and found that they were all full of spirit and high morale.

"My lord, these past few days we have achieved victory in the battle against Lu Bu. But we still do not occupy an absolute advantage, and the losses are very heavy." ===== CHAPTER 1061 =====
