Chapter 1343: Where else can you run

Gu Yi led the remnants to retreat to the foot of the mountain, his face very solemn; he did not expect that Guan Ping would actually die at his own hands.

"Big brother, what should we do now?" the deputy general beside Gu Yi asked in a low voice.

Gu Yi took a deep breath and said: "Pass the order down: pack up immediately and retreat."

Gu Yi was not stupid; he knew that now was not the time to be entangled in battle; if they stayed here, he feared they would all be wiped out, and by then they wouldn't even be able to find their corpses.

Gu Yi led the remnants to retreat, and before leaving, he gathered all the soldiers under his command and arranged for people to search for grain and fodder. Gu Yi knew that Guan Ping's grain and fodder must be hidden somewhere, so he had to transport the grain away as soon as possible; otherwise, the grain and fodder would be destroyed.

Gu Yi led the remnants to march toward the northeast direction, and when passing through Qingzhou, Gu Yi stopped, preparing to station and rest here. He decided to recuperate first, and wait until he had recovered his vitality before going to hunt down Guan Ping.

Gu Yi's remnants settled down temporarily.

"General, what should we do now?"

"That's right, General, we might as well take back the city early and send people to ambush the Cao army's grain and fodder."

"Yes, I agree."

"No rush, our soldiers have suffered too much loss, and now is the time to rest. If we go on an expedition rashly, I fear we will soon be besieged here," Gu Yi pondered for a moment and said.

"General is wise!"

These soldiers of Gu Yi were indeed a bit tired; they had not eaten for a long time.

Gu Yi had people bring wine and meat to reward the soldiers and distributed food to them.

Gu Yi sat by the campfire with the remnants, drinking fine wine and admiring the scenery around him. Gu Yi's mind was filled with Guan Ping's corpse.

Their numbers were far fewer than Guan Ping's, yet they were able to defeat Guan Ping, which showed that Guan Ping was not the most powerful general; they were able to defeat Guan Ping because Guan Ping was arrogant and underestimated the enemy.

Thinking of this, Gu Yi felt a thousand emotions in his heart.

"Big brother, this battle we fought was too stifling; it would be better to go home and farm!"

"That's right, we are all tired of fighting. If we still had a chance, we would definitely not lose to that piece of trash Guan Ping!"

Hearing his subordinates discussing, Gu Yi also felt very helpless in his heart.

"Brothers, we have witnessed Guan Ping's bravery; he is worthy of being Cao Cao's trusted and beloved general. If we clash head-on with him, I fear we are no match for him!" Gu Yi sighed and said to everyone.

Everyone remained silent, just lowering their heads to drink, no longer speaking. ===== CHAPTER 1344 =====
