He had originally thought Yuan Shao was only coming to resolve some minor disputes, but he had not expected things to escalate to such a bloody extent. He frowned and stepped forward, attempting to persuade Yuan Shao.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Lord Yuan Shao, is this not a bit too cruel? They are merely ordinary villagers; perhaps they only acted this way because they were unaware of the situation.\" Gu Yi’s voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable firmness.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuan Shao turned his head, his gaze piercing like a torch, as if to look through Gu Yi’s soul. \"Gu Yi, do you know the importance of these fields? They not only feed our soldiers but are the hope for our future. These people dared to obstruct my grand plan, so they deserve to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi sighed; he knew Yuan Shao’s ambition and determination, but he also felt sorrow for these innocent villagers. \"However, my lord, ruling by violence is not a long-term solution. We should seek more peaceful and just ways to resolve these issues.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuan Shao sneered, \"Peace? Justice? In these chaotic times, only power is the ultimate truth. If you are soft-hearted, you will only cause more people to die in vain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Yuan Shao. \"Enough, this matter is settled; you need not say more. I have my own judgment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Having said this, Yuan Shao turned and left, leaving Gu Yi alone to ponder. He knew that he and Yuan Shao had fundamental differences in certain aspects, but whether these differences would eventually lead them to part ways, he did not yet know.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the other side, after dealing with the remaining villagers, Tian Feng walked to Gu Yi’s side. \"Mr. Gu, you seem dissatisfied with the lord’s approach?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi glanced at Tian Feng, this strategist of great intellect who could always offer Yuan Shao sound advice at critical moments. But he also knew that although Tian Feng was clever, he held his own stance and principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mr. Tian Feng, I just feel that we should not use such extreme methods to solve problems. This will only make more people feel fear and hostility toward us,\" Gu Yi said, speaking his mind honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tian Feng was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke. \"Mr. Gu, I understand your concerns. But in these chaotic times, sometimes, for the sake of the big picture, we have to make sacrifices. I hope you can understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi shook his head, \"I understand, but I do not agree. I believe that one day, we will find a better way to make this world a more beautiful place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tian Feng smiled slightly and said no more. He knew that the rift between Gu Yi and Yuan Shao could not be resolved with a few words. But he also believed that time would prove everything and lead them to the path most suitable for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As Yuan Shao moved further away, Gu Yi and Tian Feng returned to their respective camps. Night fell, and the camp was brightly lit, but Gu Yi’s heart was filled with confusion and bewilderment. He did not know where his future lay, nor did he know if he could change these chaotic times and spare more people from the suffering of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, at that moment, a familiar figure quietly came to his side. It was Liu Bei, who had arrived at Yuan Shao’s camp quietly with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Brother Gu Yi, I heard there was a dispute here and came specifically to help.\" Liu Bei’s voice was gentle yet firm, as if it could bring endless warmth and strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi looked at Liu Bei, a sense of inexplicable emotion surging in his heart. He knew that although Liu Bei’s forces were weak, he possessed a kind and firm heart. Perhaps this was the difference between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Brother Liu Bei, you have come at the right time. I was just worrying about how to change these chaotic times; perhaps you can give me some inspiration,\" Gu Yi said sincerely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Bei smiled slightly and patted Gu Yi’s shoulder. \"Brother Gu Yi, in these chaotic times, everyone has their own mission and path. I believe that as long as you hold fast to your convictions, you will one day find your own answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi nodded, a glimmer of realization dawning in his heart. He knew he still had a long way to go, but as long as he had faith and hope, he would surely find his own future.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That night, Gu Yi, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei talked late into the night, discussing the future path and their ideals. Although they came from different backgrounds and had different beliefs and pursuits, at that moment, they felt as if they had become the closest of comrades and friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Brother Liu Bei, do you think true peace and justice can ever be achieved in these chaotic times?\" Gu Yi’s gaze was deep as he looked toward the flickering fire in the distance, his tone carrying a hint of confusion and longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Bei pondered for a moment, his gaze gentle yet firm: \"Brother Gu Yi, though the world is in chaos, the human heart does not perish. I believe that peace and justice are not unreachable dreams, but goals that require our collective effort to pursue. As long as we harbor kindness and persist in justice, one day we will be able to influence these chaotic times and let the light shine upon the earth once more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Guan Yu stroked his beard, his voice deep and resonant: \"My elder brother’s words are correct. Though we are men of war, we also know that righteousness comes first. In these chaotic times, there is an even greater need for people to step forward, to use righteousness to suppress evil, so that we may restore a bright and clear world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei slammed the table and rose, his spirit soaring: \"Well said! I, Zhang Fei, cannot stand those who bully the weak. As long as I am here, I will make sure those lawless scoundrels know the consequences!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gu Yi felt an unprecedented passion and strength surging within him. He looked at the three heroes before him, his eyes shining: \"It is truly my fortune, Gu Yi, to be acquainted with you all. Your words make me understand that even if the road ahead is difficult, as long as there are people willing to stand up, even a tiny glimmer of light can illuminate the darkness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Bei took Gu Yi’s hand, his tone sincere: \"Brother Gu Yi, we share the same aspirations; why not join forces? In these chaotic times, every bit of strength adds to the hope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi’s heart stirred; he knew this was not just an expression of personal sentiment, but a choice that would change his destiny. He took a deep breath and nodded firmly: \"Good! From this day forward, I, Gu Yi, am willing to fight side by side with Brother Liu and all you heroes, to bring a glimmer of warmth and light to these chaotic times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That night, the four drank and laughed, talking about the trends of the world and their personal ideals, from military strategy to the suffering of the people, as if they had endless things to say. Under the reflection of the firelight, their figures appeared exceptionally tall, as if they had already foreseen the peaceful world they would create together in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the mist, Gu Yi returned to his camp with a new resolve. He found Tian Feng and decided to share his realizations from the previous night.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mr. Tian Feng, after my deep conversation with Brother Liu Bei and the others last night, I feel more and more that although our paths may differ, our ultimate goal is the same—to end these chaotic times and achieve peace.\" Gu Yi’s eyes were filled with unprecedented firmness.\u003C\u002Fp>",1363,"2026-06-16T10:17:29.323Z","2026-06-17T08:53:02.455Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ffccaaf9f2a2c8d61e756ec3a7d28d91012c604b34e61fae86ce6d62cb0b831f","three-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-chapter-1079","three-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-chapter-1077",1103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-cover.jpg"]
