Chapter 1737

The moonlight was still like silver, spilling onto every brick and stone of Jingzhou's city wall. However, at this moment, Jingzhou city was no longer the same as before. It had experienced the baptism of war and had become even more resilient and strong.

Zhou Yu stood on the city wall, looking at Cao Cao's great army fleeing in the distance, and a heroic spirit that was hard to describe surged in his heart. He knew that they had won this battle; they had not only defended Jingzhou and Jiangdong but also demonstrated the heroism and wisdom of the Jiangdong soldiers to the world.

Generals like Huang Gai, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei walked to Zhou Yu's side one after another, their faces filled with the joy of victory. Zhou Yu looked at them, his heart filled with gratitude and admiration. He knew that this victory was not just his own credit, but the result of the joint efforts of all the soldiers.

"Soldiers, we won!" Zhou Yu shouted loudly. "However, this is just a beginning. Although Cao Cao has retreated in defeat, his power is still strong. We must continue to work hard, strengthen joint defense, train the army, and make preparations for future battles."

Jingzhou city under the moonlight, although having experienced the devastation of war, shone with the light of hope in everyone's eyes. Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and other generals stood together; their faces held both the joy of victory and deep thought about the future.

"Commander, we won a complete victory in this battle, but how should we walk the road ahead?" Huang Gai spoke first; his voice carried a hint of fatigue, but even more firmness.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and said slowly: "Although Cao Cao retreated in defeat this time, he will surely not be reconciled. We must take this opportunity to strengthen the alliance with Liu Bei, while continuing to improve our military strength, especially the navy. In the future, the water battle will be the key to our contest with Cao Cao for the world."

Upon hearing this, a hint of fighting spirit flashed in Guan Yu's brows: "The Commander's words are very true. I, Guan Yu, am willing to lead troops to continue training and improve combat power; when the time is ripe, I will surely compete with Cao Cao again!"

Zhang Fei was not to be outdone, saying loudly: "Me too! Zhang Fei is willing to fight side by side with my brother and swear to drive that Cao Cao out of the Central Plains!"

Zhou Yu looked at the two, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes: "With the two generals here, why should I worry about Jiangdong not flourishing? But after this battle, we also need to recuperate, while strengthening contact with Liu Bei to ensure the alliance is solid."

Having said this, Zhou Yu turned to Huang Gai: "Old General, you are experienced, and I hope you can be responsible for the contact work with Liu Bei to ensure that information between both sides is unobstructed."

Huang Gai nodded and agreed: "Commander, do not worry; Huang Gai will surely not disgrace the mission."

Just as everyone was discussing, a scout ran over hurriedly: "Commander, there is urgent military intelligence!" ===== CHAPTER 1738 =====
