Chapter 1207: Organizing equipment

"And more than a dozen sets of armor and weapons, as well as a batch of grain. This time we can build more than a hundred thousand cavalry."

"Good!" Zhao Yun clapped his hands and laughed, "Zilong, you are too amazing!"

"Heh... we can consider this a small gain this time." Gu Yi said modestly, his eyes shining as if admiring his own masterpiece.

"Zilong, we were able to achieve such brilliant results this time, all thanks to your strategy and arrangement; otherwise, we would never have been able to capture Yuan Shao's lair in such a short time." Zhang Fei said with a smile.

"Yes, Zilong, you did a great job in this battle!" Zhao Yun also said approvingly.

"Heh..." Gu Yi smiled slightly.

He had been fighting on the battlefield with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun for so long, but deep in their hearts, they also respected each other, and even admired each other; they were all the same kind of people, all heroes worth following and learning from.

"Alright, let's continue eating meat." Gu Yi said with a smile, his eyes full of smiles.

Three days later, Gu Yi led thirty thousand cavalry to advance eastward, plundering various grain, supplies, personnel, etc., along the way, providing a lot of convenient conditions for the construction of his own army, allowing them to develop better and laying a good foundation for the next war.

"My lord, how is the situation ahead?"

Zhao Yun sat on his horse, looked at Gu Yi, and asked.

"Not bad. The situation on my side is very good; I have already taken Nanjun of Jizhou, so we have our own territory, and my army can grow and strengthen in Nanjun, and we will also obtain an endless supply of grain."

"How many troops do we have now?"

"We have more than thirty thousand troops, including three thousand infantry, two thousand archers, four thousand cavalry, three thousand infantry, and six hundred fine horses, and there are more than three hundred other archers." Gu Yi replied.

"Hmm. We can conquer Nanjun of Jizhou this time and establish our own power there." Zhao Yun nodded.

"Hmm. I think so too; we already have our own power now, and we have perfected our plan. Our goal now is to build our own power and establish our own army in Nanjun." Gu Yi said.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"I think we should establish our own power in Nanjun; our current strength is not enough to rule the entire Nanjun, so we must establish our own power." Gu Yi said with a smile.

"Hmm. Then where do you think we need to establish it?" Zhao Yun asked.

"We need to establish three cities in Nanjun, namely Yecheng, Qingyang, and Luoyang; these three cities are located in the center of Nanjun, and they are also the most prosperous areas, and also the best places to establish; we should establish them in the center of Nanjun." Gu Yi said.

"Your idea is very good; I also think we should establish power in these three cities so that we can control Nanjun more firmly." Zhao Yun said.

"Yes, I think so too. Let's first build Nanjun into our backyard, and then gradually eat away at other commanderies and counties, turning it into our own possession." Gu Yi said.

"Good! We will establish power in these three cities and then develop slowly." Zhao Yun said.

"Good." Gu Yi nodded.

At this time, inside Yuan Shao's camp, Yuan Shao's failure made him very angry.

He saw Yuan Shao smash many things, and his heart was also a bit irritable, and his mood was very bad.

"My lord, please calm down; it's not worth it to ruin your health." Guo Tu comforted him.

"Of course I know my own body is not good, but I feel really stifled in my heart." Yuan Shao sighed.

"My lord, you must be feeling very uncomfortable in your heart. However, don't worry; as long as you persist, there will always be a way." Guo Tu advised.

"Sigh... I also want to persist, but I really can't do it. My body is getting worse and worse; I'm afraid in a few months, I will be going to my grave, right?" Yuan Shao said.

"My lord, don't let your imagination run wild; you still have a chance to live now." Guo Tu comforted him quickly.

"Sigh! Don't lie to me; I know my own body; I am suffering from pain every day now, and I am really worried that I won't be able to endure it and will die; what should I do then?" Yuan Shao said with a worried face.

"My lord, don't be discouraged; I believe you will definitely be able to persist, because you have the title of 'Roly-Poly', so no matter what difficulties, they cannot stop your footsteps forward."

"Roly-Poly?"

"Yes, just like a roly-poly, standing forever, just like eternal life." Guo Tu said.

"Yes, I cannot admit defeat just like this; I am not reconciled."

Yuan Shao's heart was filled with anger; he felt that his life was coming to an end, and he wanted to fight back, but he was powerless, and he felt really helpless.

At this time, Guo Tu thought for a while and suddenly asked.

"My lord, do you still remember the promise you made to yourself when you were captured by Liu Bei?"

"I remember; I promised to help myself establish my own country, but now I haven't done it."

"My lord, I remember your promise to Liu Bei very clearly, but you have forgotten it now."

"I..."

"My lord, you must cheer up and not give up; otherwise, wouldn't your efforts be in vain?" Guo Tu said seriously.

"Hmm, you are right; I must cheer up." Yuan Shao repeated.

"Hmm. My lord, we haven't lost yet."

"Yes. We haven't lost yet; we still have hope for victory!" Yuan Shao said firmly.

"My lord, what you need most now is time; although that Gu Yi has some ability, he only has a mere few tens of thousands of troops after all, and his strength cannot compare to ours. And we have three hundred and fifty thousand elite troops here; even if they are powerful, they cannot withstand the charge of so many soldiers." Guo Tu said.

"Oh, you mean Gu Yi wants to establish his own power within three months?"

"Yes, he wants to establish his own power, and he also wants to establish three cities. He wants to establish his own army in these three cities, and he also wants to establish his own dynasty, and he also wants to occupy a dominant position in these three cities. He wants to drive all our three hundred and fifty thousand troops out of Nanjun and make us his slaves!"

"Hahaha, good! Good! Gu Yi is indeed a talent; he actually thought of such a conspiracy; I am really too happy. We can use these three hundred and fifty thousand troops to completely annihilate him, and we will completely bring the power of Nanjun under our command!" ===== CHAPTER 1208 =====
