During the banquet, guests raised their glasses to pay tribute to Yuan Li one after another, praising her bravery and wisdom. Yuan Li returned the salutes one by one, but her heart understood even more that behind this glory was countless days and nights of hard work and risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li'er, on this border trip, what was the most unforgettable thing you encountered?\" Gu Yi sipped his wine and asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Li thought for a while and laughed, \"The most unforgettable was the negotiation with the ruler of the Yan Kingdom. At first, he had a tough attitude and seemed unwilling to resolve the border issue peacefully. I was truly feeling a mix of emotions at the time, fearing that the negotiation would break down and worrying that I would be unable to take on this task.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Ji was listening nervously on the side and hurriedly asked, \"Then what happened later? How did you persuade him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, the key lies in explaining the pros and cons and showing the sincerity of the Great Zhou.\" Yuan Li said slowly, \"I told him that war would not only make the people of the two countries suffer but also destroy trade and cultural exchanges between the two countries. Peace is the win-win choice. Moreover, I also put forward some specific cooperation plans, such as opening border trade and sending envoys to learn each other's culture and technology. These proposals made him waver.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi nodded in approval, \"Li'er, you can start from the other party's perspective and put forward practical and feasible plans. This is the key to your success this time. An official must not only have courage but also wisdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Li Mu also raised his glass and stood up, laughing, \"Yuan Li, I knew in the academy that you were no ordinary person, and now you have truly shined. Come, I toast you, wishing you a bright future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Li smiled and clinked glasses with Li Mu, her heart filled with gratitude, \"Li Mu, thank you for your support and encouragement all along. Without you, I might not have today's achievements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The banquet proceeded lively, the guests talked and laughed, and Yuan Li also felt a long-lost relaxation and joy. However, she knew that the peace at the border was only temporary, and more efforts and maintenance would be needed in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later, Yuan Li was summoned by Gu Yi again. Gu Yi's expression was a bit serious, as if there was something important to discuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li'er, I recently received some urgent reports from the border.\" Gu Yi said in a deep voice, \"Although your negotiation was successful this time, some small border countries seem restless and have signs of secret collusion. I worry that they might provoke incidents again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yuan Li's heart tightened, \"Prime Minister, then how should we respond?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi pondered for a moment and said, \"I want to send you to the border again. This time, it is not only negotiation but also requires you to secretly investigate the true intentions of these small countries. If necessary, you can take some decisive measures to safeguard the interests of the Great Zhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Li nodded without hesitation, \"Prime Minister, Li'er is willing to go. As long as it is for the Great Zhou, Li'er is not afraid of any difficulties and dangers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi looked at Yuan Li's firm eyes, his heart filled with relief, \"Li'er, you are indeed a person with a sense of responsibility. This task is arduous, so you must act carefully. I will send an elite force to accompany you as your backing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the order, Yuan Li began to prepare intensively. She selected several capable assistants, formulated a detailed plan, and studied the geography, culture, and political situation of the border countries again. She knew that this task was more complex and dangerous than the last time, but she was already fully prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later, Yuan Li led the elite force and embarked on the journey to the border. Along the way, she remained vigilant, fearing to miss any clues. At the same time, she also communicated and talked with the accompanying soldiers, understanding their thoughts and difficulties, and striving to enhance the cohesion of the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving at the border, Yuan Li first met with General Zhao Yong. Seeing Yuan Li coming again, Zhao Yong's heart was filled with admiration, \"Young Lady Yuan, you are truly the heroine of our Great Zhou. With you here this time, I believe the border will be able to turn danger into safety again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Li smiled and shook her head, \"General, you overpraise me. This task is arduous, and we need to work together. Have you discovered anything unusual at the border recently?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yong said in a deep voice, \"There are indeed some small countries acting in secret recently, but their specific intentions are not clear. I have strengthened border patrols, but I still need you to investigate further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Li nodded, already having a preliminary plan in her heart. In the following days, she led her accompanying personnel deep into various parts of the border, communicated and talked with local residents, and understood their lives and thoughts. At the same time, she also secretly investigated the movements of those small countries, trying to find their true intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some arduous investigation and screening, Yuan Li finally discovered the conspiracy of those small countries. It turned out that they intended to unite to resist the Great Zhou and seize the rich resources and strategic locations of the border. Moreover, they had secretly colluded with some rebel forces at the border, preparing to launch an attack from inside and outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning this news, Yuan Li was shocked. She immediately discussed countermeasures with General Zhao Yong and decided to take decisive measures to thwart this conspiracy. On one hand, they strengthened border patrols and vigilance, and on the other hand, they also secretly set up traps and ambushes, preparing to give those small countries a heavy blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, on a dark and windy night, the Allied forces of those small countries launched an attack. However, what they never expected was that the Great Zhou army was already prepared. Under the command of Yuan Li and Zhao Yong, the Great Zhou army fought bravely and engaged in a fierce battle with the Allied forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bitter battle, the Great Zhou army finally repelled the Allied attack. Yuan Li looked at the scene of smoke and corpses on the battlefield, her heart filled with pain. She knew that war was cruel, but to protect the interests of the Great Zhou and the tranquility of the people, she had to walk firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the war, Yuan Li and General Zhao Yong summarized the experience and lessons of this battle together. They decided to further strengthen the defense and construction of the border and improve the combat effectiveness and morale of the army. At the same time, they also decided to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with surrounding countries to jointly maintain regional peace and stability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yuan Li returned to Chang'an again, she had become a true hero. Her name spread through the streets and alleys, and people praised her bravery and wisdom one after another. However, for Yuan Li, these glories were not the most important. She only hoped that the Great Zhou would always be peaceful and tranquil, and the people would be able to live and work in peace and contentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Prime Minister's mansion, Gu Yi summoned Yuan Li again. He looked at Yuan Li's tired but firm eyes, his heart filled with emotion, \"Li'er, you have made a great contribution again this time. I truly don't know how to reward you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Li smiled and shook her head, \"Prime Minister, Li'er does not need any rewards. As long as I can serve the Great Zhou, Li'er feels satisfied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi nodded, his eyes filled with relief and expectation, \"Li'er, you are indeed a rare talent. I believe that the future Great Zhou will be more prosperous because of you.\" ===== CHAPTER 1790 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1388,"2026-06-16T10:17:29.323Z","2026-06-16T10:29:14.565Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","93a8c7695ef1cd6610297f9f428300e9c07379431ab0db1766e78c266b318458","three-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-chapter-1097","three-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-chapter-1095",1103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-cover.jpg"]
