Chapter 1759: A Legend of the Chaotic World

At the celebration banquet for the coalition's great victory, Xu You and Gu Yi sat side by side, both their faces filled with undisguised joy. After three rounds of drinks, Xu You patted Gu Yi on the shoulder and laughed: "Zi Yi, this success is largely due to you. Without your internal and external cooperation, we could not have defeated Dong Zhuo so smoothly."

Gu Yi shook his head and said modestly: "Zi Yuan, if it weren't for your eloquent tongue that persuaded me, I would probably still be muddled under Dong Zhuo. You gave me a clear path; I will keep this kindness in my heart."

Yuan Shao sat in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over every general present, his heart full of emotion. He stood up and shouted while raising his cup: "Today's victory is the result of everyone's joint efforts! Especially Zi Yuan and Zi Yi, your wisdom and courage have allowed me to see hope for the future!"

The generals stood up one after another, raising their cups in response, and the camp was full of jubilation. However, in this celebratory atmosphere, Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with worry. He knew well that although this battle was won, Dong Zhuo had not been completely eliminated, his power was still huge, and the road ahead was still long.

After the celebration banquet ended, Yuan Shao kept Xu You and Gu Yi behind. The three sat around the desk, and Yuan Shao spoke first: "Today's victory is joyful, but we cannot lower our guard. Although Dong Zhuo was defeated, his foundation was not damaged; what plans do we have next?"

Xu You pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, I think we should take this opportunity to expand the alliance, unite more warlords, and fight against Dong Zhuo together. At the same time, strengthen our own strength and train elite soldiers to prepare for any unexpected needs."

Gu Yi nodded in agreement: "What Zi Yuan says is very true. Moreover, we should also closely watch Dong Zhuo's movements to prevent him from making a comeback. In addition, we should pay more attention to the stability within the alliance to prevent anyone from having ulterior motives."

Yuan Shao listened and secretly approved. He knew these two were not only wise and brave but also had a far-reaching strategic vision. He said solemnly: "I have kept your words in mind. Next, what we need to do is consolidate the fruits of victory while continuing to look for opportunities to give Dong Zhuo a fatal blow."

The three discussed until late at night before dispersing. Gu Yi returned to his camp, but his heart could not be calm. He knew well that although he had left Dong Zhuo, the real battle had just begun. He must work harder to gain a foothold in this chaotic world.

At the same time, good news also came from the camps of Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian. Their scouts successfully brought back news of Yan Gang and Zu Mao and brought back the latest movements of Dong Zhuo's army. Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian were overjoyed and expressed their willingness to join forces with Yuan Shao to fight against Dong Zhuo together.

A few days later, Yuan Shao summoned the various warlords and held a grand alliance meeting. At the meeting, Yuan Shao proposed the initiative to unite against Dong, which received positive responses from the various warlords. Everyone expressed their willingness to follow Yuan Shao's command and fight against Dong Zhuo together.

However, just as the alliance's morale was high, a discordant voice suddenly sounded. Yuan Shu stood out, questioning Yuan Shao's leadership position, and stated that he also had the ability to lead everyone to fight against Dong Zhuo. This move instantly made the atmosphere of the alliance tense.

Yuan Shao's face sank slightly; he looked at Yuan Shu and said firmly: "Gong Lu, you and I are brothers and should have worked together to fight against foreign enemies. By doing this, aren't you making your relatives hurt and your enemies happy?"

Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said: "Ben Chu, why do you think you are more suitable to lead this alliance than me? I, Yuan Shu, am also no ordinary person!"

Seeing that the two brothers were about to turn against each other, Xu You and Gu Yi hurriedly stood out to mediate. Xu You said: "My lord and General Yuan Shu are both children of the Yuan family, each with their own merits. But this is not the time for internal strife; we should be united to fight against Dong Zhuo together."

Gu Yi also echoed: "That is exactly so. Dong Zhuo has not been eliminated; if we fall into internal chaos first, won't we be laughed at by the people of the world?"

Under the persuasion of Xu You and Gu Yi, Yuan Shu finally reluctantly agreed to temporarily put aside the dispute and fight against Dong Zhuo together. However, this incident made Yuan Shao realize the potential crisis within the alliance. He knew well that to truly defeat Dong Zhuo, he must first consolidate the internal unity of the alliance.

Thus, Yuan Shao began to set about strengthening the internal management of the alliance; he appointed Xu You as the alliance's military advisor, responsible for coordinating the overall situation; Gu Yi was appointed as the coalition's general, responsible for commanding operations. At the same time, he also sent envoys to the camps of the various warlords to strengthen communication and contact, ensuring the stability of the alliance.

Through Yuan Shao's efforts, the alliance gradually walked out of the shadow of internal strife, and morale rose again. As for Dong Zhuo, due to repeated defeats, morale was low and not as good as before. Seeing this, Yuan Shao decided to take the opportunity to launch a general offensive and eliminate Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop.

Under the fierce offensive of the coalition army, Dong Zhuo's army retreated steadily. Finally, in a decisive battle, the coalition army successfully defeated Dong Zhuo's main force, and Dong Zhuo himself was killed in the chaotic army. Thus, this long-lasting war against Dong finally came to an end.

After the war, Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, and his reputation reached an unprecedented height. And Xu You and Gu Yi also became leaders in the coalition army because of their outstanding performance in this war. The three of them worked hand in hand to write this legendary chapter in the chaotic world. ===== CHAPTER 1760 =====
