Yunmeng Swamp, Zhou Yu's camp.
Different from Cao Cao's camp, the lords of Sun Liu's camp could freely choose Yunmeng Swamp, Red Cliff, or Dongting Lake when they first entered the map.
Choosing Yunmeng Swamp was equivalent to joining Zhou Yu's camp and becoming Zhou Yu's subordinate. Zhou Yu, a top talent, and Cheng Pu and other generals could be subdued.
Di Chen was the leader of this mutant army, with about 220,000 soldiers. In addition, famous lords such as Military Kill Ripper and Wandering Spirit were also in this camp.
Those who chose Red Cliff were mostly coastal lords, and their armies were mainly navy. This mutant army was led by Xiong Ba and Wolf Warrior, with about 50,000 soldiers.
As for those who chose Dongting Lake, there were two options. One was to follow Huang Gai to enter Yuan River, and the other was to follow Liu Bei to attack Changsha's capital, Linxiang.
In Liu Bei's camp, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Liang were all there.
The lords of Dongting Lake basically went to Liu Bei's camp, with the purpose of subduing the two super popular players, Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang.
This mutant army was led by Lord Chunshen, and Huang Gai's army had about 80,000 soldiers.
Ouyang Shuo didn't know the distribution of Sun Liu's mutant army. Otherwise, he wouldn't be afraid of Zhou Yu's army in Yunmeng Swamp.
The 220,000 mutant army was not enough to pose a big threat to River Tomb City.
In the central camp, Di Chen, as the representative of the mutants, came to see Zhou Yu and reported the changes in the contribution list. At the same time, he explained his speculation that Lu Su's army had probably been killed.
Zhou Yu was silent, and his face was full of grief.
"Are you confident about the arrangement at Red Cliff?" Zhou Yu suddenly asked. Lu Su's army was easily destroyed, which made Zhou Yu waver on the previous plan proposed by Xiong Ba and others.
Di Chen braced himself and replied, "Not a big problem." Di Chen also felt that the previous ambush plan was a little too confident. But at this point, the arrow was already on the bow, and it had to be fired.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu didn't say anything.
"What about River Tomb City?" Zhou Yu continued to ask, without any head or tail.
Di Chen understood what Zhou Yu was referring to. This time, he was full of confidence. "Absolutely no problem!"
"Alright!" Zhou Yu shouted out loudly, his demeanor bursting with heroism. "The army will continue to advance, directly to River Tomb and take revenge for Zi Jing, Zi Ming, and the others."
"Yes!" Di Chen clasped his fists.
"You're dismissed!" Zhou Yu waved his hand, unable to conceal his exhaustion.
It could be seen that the annihilation of Lu Su's army was a huge blow to Zhou Yu. Lu Su, his colleague, and his trusted generals, Lu Meng, Gan Ning, and Zhou Tai, were in the army.
Zhou Yu felt as if a knife was twisting in his heart when he thought that these generals might have met with misfortune.
"Yu is useless!"
A soft moan could be heard in the empty tent. The cold wind whistled outside the tent, making it seem even more desolate.
Outside Linxiang City, Liu Bei's military camp.
When Zhou Yu received the news, so did Liu Bei. The one who reported was Lord Chunshen.
Liu Bei's first reaction was to summon his military advisor, Zhuge Liang.
After listening to Lord Chunshen's report, Zhuge Liang did not even think before directly saying: "My lord, Lu Su's army has been destroyed. I am afraid it will be difficult to preserve the Red Cliff. The only plan now is to immediately withdraw from Linxiang and join up with Huang Gai's army. Together, we will head to the Red Cliff and completely defeat the enemy's mutant army. "
Zhuge Liang was also clear about the strategic position of the Red Cliff.
"Withdraw?" Liu Bei's face showed some hesitation when he heard this.
Just yesterday, the governor of Changsha, Han Xuan, had already sent someone to the military camp to express his intention to surrender.
All that was left was to discuss the details.
This also meant that Changsha was already within easy reach. To tell the truth, Liu Bei was somewhat reluctant to withdraw at this time. He had wandered from place to place for his entire life and longed for a territory that belonged entirely to him.
"Yes, withdraw immediately." Zhuge Liang's attitude was firm.
"How can we do that? Changsha is about to be taken. If we withdraw at this time, it will be a waste of effort! Withdraw? Absolutely not. "The one who spoke was Zhang Fei, his pair of ox eyes wide.
Guan Yu echoed: "Yes, military advisor. Zhou Yu has taken care of the Red Cliff. There should be no major problem. The most important thing right now is to take Changsha. "
The two brothers were worthy of being Liu Bei's' good friends'. They immediately saw through Liu Bei's thoughts and joined in the uproar.
Zhao Yun was the only one who remained silent.
At this time, Zhuge Liang had only recently left the mountain and had yet to display much of his abilities in Liu Bei's faction. Naturally, he had not obtained the sincere support of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Therefore, they spoke without any scruples.
Hearing this, Liu Bei pretended to be unhappy. With a sullen expression, he scolded: "Second brother, third brother, do not be rude. Hurry up and apologize to the military advisor!"
"Big brother!"
Zhang Fei was somewhat unhappy.
"If you don't apologize, then don't recognize me as your big brother." Liu Bei used his usual method.
As expected, Zhang Fei became anxious. Like a child abandoned by his father, he bowed to Zhuge Liang and stammered: "Yide was reckless. I hope that the military advisor can forgive him!"
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang laughed in an unconcerned manner and said: "Yide is honest and upright. What wrong did he do? Haha! "
With that, the awkward atmosphere in the tent was somewhat dispelled.
"Military advisor, can we be more careful with the withdrawal of the army? Should we wait a few more days? Once we occupy Changsha, we will immediately send out the army. What do you think? "After going around in circles, Liu Bei returned to his original argument.
Among the Three Kingdoms, no one was more thick-skinned than Liu Xuande.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart. He knew that it would not be good to go against his lord's wishes. He said: "That is the only way. I will immediately arrange a meeting with Han Xuan and strive to finalize this matter as soon as possible."
"Good. Thank you for your trouble, military advisor!" Liu Bei was overjoyed.
Lord Chunshen had not said a word from beginning to end. Liu Bei wanted to drag things out. Naturally, he was more than happy to do so. He could also use this opportunity to teach Xiong Ba and Wolf Warrior a lesson.
With that, the matter was settled.
Outside Linyuan City, in Huang Gai's military camp.
Unlike Liu Bei's hesitation, when Huang Gai received the news, he did not hesitate and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army. He was prepared to give up on Wuling County which was at his fingertips.
The Lord player who reported the news advised: "General, our army has less than 30,000 men. If we rashly head to the Red Cliffs, it is very likely that we will encounter the enemy fleet on the way. When that time comes, I am afraid that we will not be able to provide reinforcements and will instead meet with misfortune. General, please reconsider. "
Hearing this, Huang Gai frowned.
In the recently concluded Battle of Red Cliffs, Huang Gai was the main hero. The plan to feign surrender and attack with fire was exactly what Huang Gai had presented to Zhou Yu. As a veteran general, Huang Gai was also a meritorious elder of the River East Group. Having served three generations of Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, he was indeed a man who grew stronger with age.
As early as when Sun Jian, as a feudal lord, was crusading against Dong Zhuo, Huang Gai had been by his side.
Therefore, Huang Gai's loyalty to the River East Group was unquestionable. However, Huang Gai was not an impulsive person. Although he was worried about the Red Cliffs, he could still listen to other people's opinions.
"What do you think we should do?" Huang Gai asked.
"My opinion is to join forces with Liu Bei's army and rush to the Red Cliffs. This way, we won't have to worry about being defeated by the enemy one by one. We might even be able to cooperate with the Red Cliffs garrison and launch a pincer attack. "The Lord suggested.
Those who could participate in the battle were all outstanding figures among the Lords of the China region. Naturally, none of them were incompetent.
"You are right." Huang Gai nodded in agreement. "But will we make it in time?"
Huang Gai was experienced. From the information revealed by the Dissimilated Lord, it was not difficult to infer that the enemy's fleet must be approaching the mouth of the Han River and not far from the Red Cliffs.
On the contrary, they were still around Dongting Lake, further away than the enemy. As for Liu Bei's army, it was even further away. Taking into account the time spent on the road, the situation was not optimistic.
The Lord was very confident. "General, don't worry. The Dissimilated Army stationed at the Red Cliffs is an elite navy from the Main Plane. They are prepared in advance. Therefore, I conclude that even if the enemy's fleet arrives at the Red Cliffs before us, they will not be able to take the Red Cliffs easily. Perhaps they will suffer a setback. "
It was no secret in Sun Liu's camp that Xiong Ba and Battle Wolf were stationed at the Red Cliffs.
"Therefore, we must not rush this matter. We must make proper preparations and annihilate them with absolute military strength." The Lord concluded in a sonorous voice.
The Lord's words finally convinced Huang Gai.
"Alright, we will do as you say. I will send a letter to Liu Bei now." Huang Gai was very straightforward.
"Then I will take my leave first!"
With that, the Dissimilated Lord tactfully walked out of the tent.
"Big Brother, this is the only thing I can do for you." Facing the sky, the Lord muttered to himself. There was a trace of melancholy and bitterness in his words, as if there was something difficult to say.
If there were other people here, they would definitely recognize that this person was the Siege Lion.
The discord between the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point and Shanhai City had long been spread within the Shanhai Alliance. Without exception, everyone stood on the side of Shanhai City and expressed that they did not understand the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point's unreasonable actions.
After all, before Ouyang Shuo went out to sea, he had specially gathered them and made three rules. Moreover, he had said that when Ouyang Shuo was not in the territory, Shanhai City would not interfere with the internal affairs of the members.
Therefore, Song Jia's refusal was nothing more than the implementation of Ouyang Shuo's decision before he left.
Unexpectedly, the attitude of the members deepened the resentment in the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point's heart.
As a good friend of the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point, the Siege Lion knew the cause and effect of this matter very clearly. Although he sympathized with the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point's fiasco on Yizhou Island, he did not blame Shanhai City.
The Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point had complained to him and had even chosen Sun Liu's camp in a fit of pique.
Helplessly, the Siege Lion could only choose Sun Liu's camp. Firstly, it was to take the opportunity to comfort the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point and appease his emotions. Secondly, it was to prevent the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point from doing anything irrational.
He did not expect Sun Liu's camp to choose a branch. The two of them did not have a "tacit understanding" and did not expect to go together.
According to the Siege Lion's understanding of the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point, the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point was a mission madman who liked to take unusual paths. Therefore, the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point had the highest probability of choosing the most unpopular Huang Gai branch.
Unexpectedly, the Siege Lion did not see the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point in Huang Gai's army. Therefore, it further deepened his worry about the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point.
"Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point, you must not do anything stupid. Otherwise, you will really be consigned to eternal damnation. "The Siege Lion sighed in his heart, feeling extremely conflicted.
On one side was his extremely respected big brother. If it was not for Ouyang Shuo's support, the Black Lion City would not be where it was today. On the other side was his few good brothers in the game, a good confidant.
As such, the Siege Lion was really in a dilemma.
