Chapter 1680

Gu Yi, seeing this, felt no joy, but instead felt a trace of heaviness. He knew that although this battle was won, too many costs were paid behind it. He walked to Yuan Huan's side, looked down at this former opponent, and said softly: "Yuan Huan, you could have become a hero, but you chose to become a sinner. I hope your descendants can learn a lesson and not walk your old path again."

The soldiers on the battlefield cheered upon seeing Yuan Huan fall. They knew that the victory of this battle meant they were one step closer to the road home. Gu Yi raised his long sword and shouted loudly: "Brothers, we won! But the battle is not over yet; we must continue to move forward until we completely end this war and let the world return to peace!"

The soldiers' cheers became even more enthusiastic; they followed Gu Yi, their hearts filled with confidence and hope. And Gu Yi looked into the distance, silently praying in his heart: May this chaotic world end soon, and may all living beings in the world live and work in peace.

After the battle ended, Gu Yi and the deputy general returned to the tent together. They sat at the desk, reviewing every bit of this battle.

"General, you are truly as wise as a god; this plan was simply perfect," the deputy general praised endlessly, his face filled with admiration.

Gu Yi shook his head and said solemnly: "No, although we won this battle, we also paid a considerable price. Moreover, although Yuan Huan is dead, his forces have not completely disintegrated; we still need to continue to work hard to completely pacify the world."

The deputy general's expression also became serious upon hearing this: "The General is right, we cannot take it lightly. What should we do next?"

Gu Yi pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "First, we must consolidate the existing results to ensure that Yuan Huan's remnant forces will not counterattack. Second, we must continue to advance and strive to meet with other allies as soon as possible to resist the remaining enemies together."

The deputy general nodded, expressing agreement. He knew that Gu Yi's heart was always filled with the overall situation of the world, and every one of his decisions was for the overall victory.

"General, you have worked hard," the deputy general said with concern, looking at Gu Yi's exhausted face, "You rest for a while, leave the rest to me."

Gu Yi smiled and patted the deputy general's shoulder: "Brother, with you here, I am at ease. But we are all warriors; the battle is not over, so we cannot stop our steps."

After speaking, Gu Yi stood up again and walked out of the tent. He looked at the sky in the distance, his heart full of longing and anticipation for the future. He knew that as long as everyone was united as one, there were no difficulties that could not be overcome and no enemies that could not be defeated.

Following the end of the war, Gu Yi and his army started the reconstruction work. They helped the people rebuild their homes and restore production, letting this land that had suffered from the ravages of war regain its vitality. Gu Yi knew deeply that the victory of the war was just the beginning; the real challenge lay in how to maintain this hard-won peace and let the people live a happy and stable life.

"General, look at these fields; after our efforts, they have regained their past vitality," a soldier pointed to the green rice fields before them and said to Gu Yi with joy.

Gu Yi nodded with a smile; he knew deeply how much sweat and hard work of the soldiers and people were condensed behind this. He walked to the ridge of the field, squatted down, and gently touched the rice ears, as if he could feel the pulse of the earth and the vitality of life.

"Yes, this is not just a rice field, but a symbol of our hope. As long as everyone works together, nothing is impossible," Gu Yi said with emotion.

At this moment, a burst of laughter came, and Gu Yi looked up, only to see a group of children chasing and playing by the field, their laughter crisp and pleasant, adding endless life and vitality to this land.

"General, look at those children, how happy they are! This is the peace and happiness we pursue," the deputy general walked to Gu Yi's side and said softly.

Gu Yi felt a warm current surge in his heart upon hearing this. He knew that the victory of this war was not just to compete for territory and power, but for these innocent children, so that they could grow up in a peaceful and tranquil environment.

"Yes, their laughter is our greatest motivation. We must continue to work hard to let this peace and happiness continue forever," Gu Yi said firmly.

However, the peaceful days did not last long, and a new threat rose quietly. A mysterious force appeared in the border region, frequently harassing the border, robbing property, and threatening the safety of the people.

"General, the border is in an emergency! That mysterious force is becoming more and more arrogant; we must take action!" a scout hurried over and reported the emergency situation at the border to Gu Yi.

Gu Yi's brows were locked tight; he knew deeply what the appearance of this mysterious force meant. If their arrogant spirit could not be curbed in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Pass the order down, immediately reorganize the army and prepare to set off; we are going to the border to defend our home!" Gu Yi gave the order decisively.

The army gathered quickly, and Gu Yi led them on the journey to the border. Along the way, they overcame heavy difficulties and finally arrived at the border region.

"General, ahead is the enemy's camp," a scout pointed to a dense forest in the distance and said.

Gu Yi looked out, only to see the enemy's flags and tents vaguely visible in the dense forest. He knew deeply that this battle would be exceptionally difficult, but to protect the safety of the people, they had to go all out.

"Brothers, we are fighting for peace and for the safety of the people. Today, we must let the enemy know that our territory is not to be violated!" Gu Yi said with great enthusiasm.
