Chapter 1205: About to lose support

Soon, Jiang Wei could no longer hold on, and the Yuan Shao army behind him also began to retreat steadily.

Currently, Gu Yi did not intend to become enemies with Yuan Shao and did not intend to deal a lethal blow.

Soon, Jiang Wei felt helpless; his army could no longer hold on and was being gradually approached by Gu Yi's army. Jiang Wei understood that continuing to fight would only bring greater losses, so he decided to retreat to protect his soldiers and resources.

Meanwhile, Gu Yi's army achieved victory on the battlefield. He was clever and resourceful, adept at planning, leading his soldiers to fight bravely and driving Yuan Shao's army into a steady retreat. Gu Yi led his warriors back to their camp smoothly, and the atmosphere of victory permeated everyone's hearts.

Jiang Wei's decision to retreat did not create enmity with Yuan Shao; he understood that the current situation was unfavorable for them. He decided to preserve his strength and wait for an opportunity to strike again. Gu Yi also understood the need to remain vigilant at all times, so he did not pursue Yuan Shao's army, but instead held his position tightly, waiting for the next decisive battle.

After this battle ended, both Jiang Wei's and Gu Yi's armies had a valuable period of rest.

Jiang Wei assessed the situation, adjusted his strategy, and prepared for the next confrontation with Yuan Shao. Gu Yi used this time to continue training his soldiers and improving their strength to better cope with future challenges.

Although Jiang Wei retreated, he did not give up, but made a wise decision to better protect his soldiers and resources. Gu Yi demonstrated outstanding command ability, leading his army to victory on the battlefield.

They both understood that the outcome of war often depends on wisdom and decisiveness.

Back at the military camp, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei had long prepared a table of wine and meat.

"My lord, returning with a great victory today, we brothers must celebrate properly!" Zhang Fei said happily.

"Zhang Fei, don't get too carried away; if you hadn't been so impulsive, how would we have had so much credit?" Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Fei and laughed.

"Yes, I was too reckless; I shouldn't have done that." Zhang Fei scratched his head and said honestly.

Then Gu Yi walked over and sat down. Gu Yi, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun sat together in high spirits, happily enjoying the joy of victory. The table was filled with sumptuous wine and food, the aroma of roasted meat was pungent, and the delicious dishes emitted an enticing fragrance.

Gu Yi smiled and raised his wine cup, clinked it with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and then drank it in one gulp. His eyes revealed satisfaction and the joy of victory; he knew this victory was hard-won. Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun also raised their cups, drinking together, boldly downing cup after cup of fine wine.

The sound of eating meat in large mouthfuls rang out at the dining table; Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's mouths were stuffed with delicious meat, and they laughed until the corners of their mouths were stained with juice. Their powerful arms kept grabbing roasted meat, enjoying the fruits of victory to their hearts' content.

Gu Yi smiled as he looked at the two brave generals; they were the pillars on the battlefield, but at this moment, they did not hide their joy at all.

Zhang Fei opened his large mouth, his laughter shaking the heavens, his appetite and passion filling the entire room. Zhao Yun was more steady, but the smile in his eyes kept flickering; he chewed the meat in large mouthfuls, but did not forget to raise his cup to drink with his brothers.

The wine cups on the table were continuously filled, emptied, and raised again; they enjoyed the joy of friendship and victory amidst laughter. They had no pressure or tension from the battlefield, only relaxation and pleasure, leaving behind only the deep bond between brothers.

This was a joyful scene; the warriors enjoyed the fruits of victory to their hearts' content, forgetting fatigue and pressure, with only laughter and fine wine flowing in their hearts. Gu Yi, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun raised their cups, saluting each other, celebrating this victory, celebrating their united, brave, and fearless spirit.

"This victory is not simple; it is the result of the three of us joining forces. We must remember this lesson, make ourselves stronger, smarter, and better at preserving ourselves so that we can survive on the battlefield." Zhang Fei put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his lips, and said solemnly.

"I agree; I also feel that our victory this time is not just relying on luck and courage, but more on the wisdom of the three of us; these are inseparable from our efforts and planning." Zhao Yun said.

"I understand, Zhao Zilong; we are all fighting for our own lives, for our homes, and for the people we love!" Zhang Fei said with a smile, his eyes bright and full of confidence.

"That's right; we must prove to the heavens that the three of us have truly grown; the three of us will not lose to anyone!" Gu Yi nodded seriously and said firmly.

"Haha..."

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun laughed at the same time, their eyes filled with confidence and hope, their faces full of smiles. They were no longer the ignorant youths; they understood their own value and their own mission.

"Come, come, come, let's have another cup!"

"Good, come!"

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun raised their wine cups, tilted their heads, and drank in large gulps.

"We must have another!"

"Yes, another!"

"Come, come, come!"

They kept drinking wine, kept eating roasted meat, and kept chatting about interesting things on the battlefield.

"By the way, Zilong, how did you think of attacking Yuan Shao's lair this time?" Gu Yi asked.

"I heard that Yuan Shao has been operating in Jizhou for many years and has accumulated considerable wealth, so I went to attack his granary." Zhao Yun said.

"Oh?"

"There is grain and fodder in Yuan Shao's granary, but the quantity is not large."

"You just attacked Yuan Shao's granary to grab grain and fodder?" Gu Yi asked suspiciously.

"Of course not; my goal is not just grain and fodder." Zhao Yun shook his head and explained, "Although Yuan Shao has many granaries, the strength of the three of us is not weak; as long as we destroy it, he will have no money to supply us to plunder, and his property will be scraped clean by us."

"I understand." Gu Yi nodded.

"We now possess fifty million taels of gold, and plus Yuan Shao's wealth, we can support the establishment of a new army; this time we will expand our troops." Zhao Yun continued.

"Good, then we will expand the army this time." Gu Yi said excitedly.

"Hmm."

"Then it's settled." Gu Yi made the final decision.

"By the way, what is our harvest this time?" Zhao Yun asked. ===== CHAPTER 1206 =====
