In this way, Cao Cao will inevitably be unable to attend to both ends, and we can take the opportunity to break the blockade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Sun Ce was overjoyed: \"A brilliant plan! We shall act immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce led the Jiangdong army and moved toward Cao Cao's rear camp quietly. They chose a dark and windy night to launch a surprise attack. Under the fierce attack of the Jiangdong army, Cao Cao's rear camp was soon captured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grain, fodder, and military equipment were seized by the Jiangdong army, and Cao Cao's supply line was completely cut off. This battle allowed Jiangdong to see hope again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after learning the news that the rear camp had been captured, Cao Cao was so angry that he jumped like thunder: \"This Sun Ce and Zhou Yu of Jiangdong actually dare to be so cunning! I swear I will smash them into ten thousand pieces!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, due to the shortage of grain, fodder, and military equipment, the combat effectiveness of Cao Cao's army was greatly reduced. He had to give up attacking Xuzhou and turn to reinforce the rear camp. In this way, Jiangdong gained a precious breathing space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce fully utilized this opportunity to actively prepare grain, fodder, and military equipment, while strengthening the training of the soldiers. They knew that the decisive battle with Cao Cao was coming and must make full preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, a month later, the Jiangdong army was ready to set off, preparing to launch a decisive battle with Cao Cao. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce stood in front of the formation, looking at the enemy army in the distance with firm gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, this battle concerns the survival of Jiangdong. We must go all out and cannot have any retreat!\" Zhou Yu said with a firm tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce nodded, a glimmer of firm light flashing in his eyes: \"You are right. For the future of Jiangdong, for our ideals, we must fight to the end!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an order, the Jiangdong army surged forward like a tide, engaging in a fierce clash with Cao Cao's army. Amidst the swords and shadows, the soldiers of both sides fought with blood and life, swearing not to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu and Sun Ce took the lead, fighting bravely. Their bravery inspired the Jiangdong soldiers to move forward bravely, without fear of life or death. Under the fierce offensive of the Jiangdong army, Cao Cao's army gradually could not hold on and began to retreat step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just when victory was about to arrive, a sudden change made the Jiangdong army fall into a crisis. It turned out that Cao Cao's reinforcements had suddenly arrived and joined the battlefield. This made the already fierce battle situation even more tragic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jiangdong army suffered heavy losses, and morale was low. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were also seriously injured, but they still insisted on fighting on the front line. They knew well that if they retreated at this time, Jiangdong would be completely destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, we cannot retreat! We must persist!\" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, brandishing the long sword in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce nodded, a glimmer of unyielding light flashing in his eyes: \"You are right. For the future of Jiangdong, we must fight to the end!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the encouragement of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, the Jiangdong soldiers regained their spirits and continued to engage in a life-and-death struggle with the enemy army. They defended the dignity and glory of Jiangdong with their lives and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after a thrilling battle, the Jiangdong army achieved the final victory. Cao Cao's army was completely defeated, and Cao Cao himself was captured in the chaotic army.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This battle was not only a test of the Jiangdong army's strength and wisdom but also an extreme challenge to the will and belief of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. When the dawn of victory pierced through the smoke of the battlefield and shone on the faces of the exhausted yet excited Jiangdong soldiers, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce looked at each other and smiled; that smile contained both relief and infinite expectations for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gongjin, today's victory was truly not easy. Your wisdom, combined with the bravery of the soldiers, allowed us to find a glimmer of life from a desperate situation.\" Sun Ce's voice, although slightly hoarse due to the long battle, could not hide his excitement and pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu shook his head gently, his gaze filled with emotion: \"My Lord is too kind. This is the result of the Jiangdong army being of one mind and working together. If it weren't for you, My Lord, personally taking the field and setting an example, how could you have inspired such tenacious fighting spirit in the soldiers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two talked as they walked toward the temporarily built camp, surrounded by soldiers cheering and celebrating, but their conversation was unusually calm, as if the life-and-death struggle just now was just a part of daily life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, although we have achieved a temporary victory, the road ahead is still long.\" Zhou Yu changed the subject, his expression becoming serious. \"Although Cao Cao has been captured, the northern power is huge and cannot be underestimated. We must stabilize Jiangdong as soon as possible, develop the economy, and strengthen the military to prevent possible counterattacks in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce nodded in agreement, a flash of worry crossing his eyes: \"Indeed, we cannot have the slightest slack. Moreover, this war has also caused Jiangdong to suffer heavy losses; the people need to be comforted, the fields need to be restored, and everything needs us to start from scratch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the two were discussing subsequent plans, a messenger ran over hurriedly, interrupting their conversation: \"Report! It was discovered that several important generals under Cao Cao's command did not perish with the army but took advantage of the chaos to escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This news made Zhou Yu and Sun Ce furrow their brows at the same time. Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said slowly: \"These generals are all Cao Cao's capable assistants; if they are allowed to escape back to the north, they will surely reorganize their forces and pose a threat to our Jiangdong. We must pursue them as soon as possible and cut the weeds and dig up the roots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce nodded in agreement, but immediately raised a question: \"But our main army has just experienced a great battle and is in urgent need of rest. Moreover, the pursuit needs careful deployment and cannot be done blindly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu smiled slightly, a flash of cunning crossing his eyes: \"My Lord is absolutely right. We might as well adopt the strategy of 'besieging Wei to save Zhao'; on one hand, send elite troops to pursue, and on the other hand, increase harassment of the northern border, forcing them to be unable to rest in peace, while also buying time for us to restore our vitality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Sun Ce's eyes lit up, and he applauded: \"Brilliant! This plan can both consume the enemy and be used by us; it is truly killing two birds with one stone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, after a brief celebration, the Jiangdong army quickly threw itself into new tasks. Zhou Yu personally led a force of elite troops to secretly track those fleeing Cao generals, while Sun Ce remained in Jiangdong to preside over the overall situation, while organizing small-scale harassment of the north to ensure that Cao Cao's power could not make a comeback in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few months later, Zhou Yu returned in triumph, not only successfully capturing several key Cao generals but also gathering the hearts of the people along the way, expanding Jiangdong's influence. Jiangdong was filled with joy, and Sun Ce personally went out of the city to welcome them. The two embraced tightly outside the city gate, their eyes flashing with infinite longing for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gongjin, with you here, why should I worry about Jiangdong not flourishing?\" Sun Ce's voice carried a bit of excitement and a bit of gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu patted Sun Ce on the back gently and smiled: \"My Lord, it is every soldier and every person in Jiangdong who has cast today's brilliance. We have just done what we should have done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Jiangdong was immersed in a piece of peace and the joy of reconstruction, the northern sky was once again covered with dark clouds. Although Cao Cao had been captured, his son Cao Pi rose rapidly in the north, uniting various warlords, reorganizing the army, and preparing for war, intending to move south to wash away the shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, there is a change in the north.\" Zhou Yu, holding a secret letter, furrowed his brows and walked into Sun Ce's study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce took the letter, read it at a glance, and his face gradually became grave: \"Cao Pi has actually integrated the northern power so quickly; it seems our peaceful days in Jiangdong are not long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu nodded, his gaze flashing with firmness: \"Yes, we must make preparations to welcome the coming battle. This time, we must not only guard Jiangdong but also take the initiative to attack and break the threat of the north to us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two began to prepare for the war in full swing. Zhou Yu was responsible for military deployment; he knew well that a head-on clash was not the best strategy and needed to find opportunities to win by surprise. Sun Ce was responsible for mobilizing the whole people, strengthening defense, and raising grain and fodder to ensure logistics were worry-free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few months later, Cao Pi's army pressed on, and the Jiangdong border was filled with the flames of war. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce led the army to meet the enemy, and the two sides launched a thrilling battle on the north bank of the Yangtze River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dawn, the river was covered by a layer of thin mist, and the sound of war drums came from far to near, shaking the sky and earth. The Jiangdong army and the northern army confronted each other across the river, the atmosphere tense to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, the enemy army is numerous, but we have the advantage of terrain and high morale.\" Zhou Yu stood on the bow of the ship, his gaze like a torch, and said to Sun Ce beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce gripped his long spear tightly, his gaze firm: \"We Jiangdong men never fear challenges. Today, let us prove with strength that Jiangdong is not a lamb to be slaughtered!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an order, the Jiangdong army's warships were like arrows leaving the bow, cutting through the river surface and launching a fierce charge toward the northern army. Arrows were like rain, cannons roared, and the river surface instantly turned into a Shura field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu personally commanded a force of elite navy, using flexible tactics to constantly harass the flanks of the northern army and cut off their supply line. Sun Ce led the infantry to hold the position, waiting for the best counterattack opportunity at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle lasted for several days, with casualties on both sides, but the Jiangdong army, relying on its familiarity with the terrain and Zhou Yu's clever command, always maintained the advantage. However, Cao Pi was no ordinary person; he quickly adjusted his tactics and sent a force of elite cavalry to bypass the main line of the Jiangdong army and strike directly at the hinterland of Jiangdong, intending to cut off the retreat of the Jiangdong army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, the situation is critical!\" A scout, covered in wounds, hurried over to report: \"The northern cavalry has broken through our defense line and is marching toward the rear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Sun Ce furrowed his brows but quickly recovered his calm: \"Where is Zhou Yu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General Zhou Yu is commanding on the front line and cannot get away.\" The scout replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce took a deep breath, his gaze firm: \"Pass down the order: I will personally lead the army to meet the enemy and must drag down the northern cavalry to buy time for Zhou Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, Sun Ce jumped onto his horse and led a force of elite cavalry, like a whirlwind, to meet the northern cavalry. The two armies met, dust flew, swords flashed, and the battle situation was exceptionally tragic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Ce took the lead, and wherever his long spear pointed, no one could match him. His bravery inspired the Jiangdong soldiers, who fought desperately with the northern cavalry. However, the northern cavalry was numerous and well-equipped, and the Jiangdong army gradually fell into a disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>",2174,"2026-06-16T10:17:29.323Z","2026-06-16T10:29:14.565Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6b0264592e94b61b3b86f6ec782d0824eec447108ba3ca5d76522ccb7715ef01","three-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-chapter-1054","three-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-chapter-1052",1103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-cover.jpg"]
