Chapter 1590: Winning the Hearts of the People

Cao Cao's voice sounded exceptionally cold in the biting wind, his eyes revealing a determination that brooked no doubt. Upon hearing this, the soldiers were all invigorated; though physically and mentally exhausted, their lord's command was like a raging fire, instantly igniting the fighting spirit in their hearts. The massive army quickly adjusted its formation and galloped toward the north; the sounds of hoofbeats and the clashing of iron armor intertwined, deafening, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

Gu Yi, on the other side, was also facing a severe challenge. Although his army held the advantage in numbers, Cao Cao's army was renowned for being elite, and their combat effectiveness could not be underestimated. Though he had won this battle, it made him deeply realize that to thoroughly defeat Cao Cao would be no easy task. Gu Yi stood on a high ridge, looking at the dust billowing in the distance, inwardly calculating his next strategy.

"My lord, though our army has won, the losses are quite heavy. Should we rest temporarily and plan for the future?" an advisor beside him asked softly.

Gu Yi pondered for a moment and shook his head. "Impossible. Cao Cao is a cunning man; if we give him a chance to catch his breath, he will surely make a comeback, and it will be even more violent. We must pursue the victory and strike directly at the heart, only then can we settle the world in one stroke."

Thus, Gu Yi ordered the massive army to rest briefly before immediately setting off for Cao Cao's main base. He knew this was a decisive battle concerning the ownership of the world, and it brooked no hesitation. ===== CHAPTER 1591 =====
