Chapter 1719: Do you know your crime!

The massive armies of both sides clashed fiercely at the foot of Yuzhang City, blades flashing and shadows dancing, blood staining the battlefield. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce coordinated perfectly, one in front and one behind, forming a pincer movement against Gu Yi. Although Gu Yi was brave, under their joint efforts, he gradually felt the pressure.

"Gu Yi, today is your end!" Sun Ce roared, brandishing his spear to strike directly at Gu Yi's vital points.

Gu Yi snorted coldly, brandishing his blade to meet him: "Sun Ce, stop being arrogant! Who will win is still unknown!"

The two fought for dozens of rounds, unable to determine a winner. However, as time passed, Gu Yi gradually felt his physical strength failing, and his moves began to become chaotic.

Seeing this, a flash of sharpness appeared in Zhou Yu's eyes. He brandished his sword to command the Jiangdong soldiers, launching an even fiercer attack on Gu Yi's massive army. Under Zhou Yu's command, the Jiangdong soldiers surged forward like a tide, unstoppable.

"Gu Yi, you are defeated!" Zhou Yu shouted loudly, brandishing his sword to strike at Gu Yi.

Gu Yi felt a chill in his heart; he knew deeply that he no longer had the strength to fight. However, just then, he suddenly remembered something, and a flash of determination appeared in his eyes.

"Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, do you think you have won like this?" Gu Yi roared, suddenly pulling a smoke bomb from his bosom and throwing it into the air.

Instantly, smoke rose everywhere, and the battlefield fell into chaos. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Yi led his remnants to break through and fled into the distance.

"Damn it, let him escape!" Sun Ce gritted his teeth, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Zhou Yu, however, frowned slightly, staring at the direction Gu Yi fled: "My lord, Gu Yi's move must have a hidden motive. Why would he suddenly use a smoke bomb to break through?"

Sun Ce was startled, then suddenly realized: "Not good, he must have gone to fetch reinforcements! We must pursue immediately; we cannot let him succeed!"

Zhou Yu nodded, light shining firmly in his eyes: "My lord is right. We will reorganize the army immediately and pursue Gu Yi!"

Gu Yi fled all the way, his heart full of resentment. He knew deeply that he had been thoroughly defeated this time, but he was unwilling to give up just like that. Thus, he decided to seek help from allies to resist the Jiangdong army together.

However, Gu Yi did not realize that his whereabouts had long been predicted by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce led their massive army to follow closely behind, pursuing all the way.

Finally, in a desolate valley, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce caught up with Gu Yi. At this time, Gu Yi was already exhausted, with only a few people left by his side.

"Gu Yi, you cannot run!" Sun Ce shouted loudly, brandishing his spear to charge at Gu Yi.

Gu Yi gritted his teeth and fought back. However, he no longer had the strength to fight and was soon knocked to the ground by Sun Ce.

"Gu Yi, do you know your crime?" Zhou Yu looked at Gu Yi coldly, his eyes full of majesty.

Gu Yi lay on the ground, panting heavily: "Zhou Yu... you... you won. But don't be proud, one day... I will make you Jiangdong pay the price!"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, wisdom shining in his eyes: "Gu Yi, you are wrong. War is not just a contest of force, but a game of wisdom. You lost because you were too contemptuous of the enemy and too confident. Remember, a true strong person must not only have courage but also wisdom."

After speaking, Zhou Yu waved his hand to signal the soldiers to take Gu Yi away. Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu, his eyes full of admiration: "Gongjin, you are truly my strategist. With you here, why should I worry about Jiangdong not flourishing?"

Zhou Yu smiled modestly: "My lord is too kind. We are just doing our respective duties, working together for the future of Jiangdong."

After this battle, the prestige of the Jiangdong army was greatly shaken. The fame of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce also spread far and wide. And Gu Yi's failure also made other factions look at Jiangdong with new eyes, not daring to invade lightly again.

In the following days, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce continued to join hands and work together to govern Jiangdong. They implemented benevolent policies and developed the economy, making Jiangdong gradually prosper. And Zhou Yu's wisdom and strategy became the model in the hearts of the Jiangdong soldiers.

Years later, whenever people mentioned Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, they would involuntarily give a thumbs up: "Those were the true heroes!" And the story of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce also became a tale passed down through the ages in Jiangdong.

Amidst the prosperity of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu stood on the city tower, looking out at the distant mountains and rivers. He knew deeply that all this prosperity and peace could not be separated from the Yuzhang battle that decided the fate of Jiangdong back then. And he was even more convinced that as long as there was wisdom and courage in one's heart, nothing could stop the forward march of Jiangdong.

"Gongjin, what are you thinking about?" Sun Ce's voice came from behind.

Zhou Yu turned around, looked at Sun Ce, and smiled: "My lord, I am thinking about the future of our Jiangdong. I believe that as long as we are united as one and move forward bravely, the tomorrow of Jiangdong will surely be even better."

Hearing this, Sun Ce's eyes shone with firm light: "You are right. Let us work hard together and make Jiangdong the strongest faction in the world!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, looking forward to the future of Jiangdong together. And their figures, gradually lengthening in the sunset, became the most beautiful scenery in Jiangdong.
