Chapter 1733

Zhou Yu took the secret letter, opened it, and his expression immediately became solemn. The letter mentioned that there was also a split within Jingzhou, and a portion of the forces intended to take the opportunity to defect to Cao Cao in exchange for their own interests.

"It truly rains when it pours," Zhou Yu muttered to himself, but he soon cheered up. "However, this is also the time to test us. As long as we can survive this hurdle, Jiangdong's future will be even brighter."

He quickly picked up his pen and wrote a reply to Jingzhou, expressing his support and trust in them, and hinting that he would dispatch reinforcements to assist them in stabilizing the internal situation. At the same time, he also stepped up precautions within Jiangdong to ensure that no accidents would occur.

In the days that followed, Zhou Yu led the Jiangdong soldiers in a life-and-death struggle against Cao Cao. They used clever tactics to repel Cao Cao's attacks time and again. And Zhou Yu also demonstrated his outstanding leadership talent and military wisdom in this battle.

However, the process of the battle was far more difficult than imagined. Cao Cao's army was vast in number and well-equipped, while Jiangdong faced a shortage of troops and supplies. Whenever the night was deep and quiet, Zhou Yu would stand alone outside the command tent, looking at the starry sky and contemplating how to break this stalemate.

Just at this moment, unexpected news arrived. The forces in Jingzhou, with Jiangdong's assistance, successfully stabilized the internal situation and announced that they would form an alliance with Jiangdong again to jointly oppose Cao Cao.

This news made Zhou Yu overjoyed. He immediately established contact with Jingzhou to discuss the specific matters of jointly resisting Cao. Through their joint efforts, they formulated a more perfect battle plan, preparing to deal a fatal blow to Cao Cao.

In the subsequent battle, Zhou Yu and the Jingzhou coalition army cooperated closely, using clever tactics to successfully defeat Cao Cao's great army. Cao Cao was forced to retreat, and Jiangdong and Jingzhou thus forged a deep friendship.

After the battle ended, Zhou Yu stood on the battlefield, looking at the retreating Cao army in the distance, his heart filled with emotion. He knew that this victory did not just belong to Jiangdong, but even more to all those who struggled for their shared ideals.

"Bofu, do you see? We did it," Zhou Yu said softly, as if Sun Ce were by his side, sharing this joy of victory with him. "Jiangdong's future will be even brighter." ===== CHAPTER 1734 =====
