Yunmeng River, Zhou Yu Army Camp.
In contrast to the Cao Cao Camp, the players from the Sun Liu Camp could choose three places to spawn - Yunmeng River, Red Cliff, and Dongting Lake.
Choosing Yunmeng River was the same as entering the Jiangdong Camp and going under Zhou Yu. Apart from Zhou Yu, generals like Cheng Pu could be recruited.
This route of players had Di Chen as their leader, and their total strength was around 220 thousand. Apart from that, Sha Pojun, Wandering Magic, and associated Lords were in this camp.
The Lords who chose Red Cliff were basically Lords that were near the ocean, with navy as their main force. This group had Xiong Ba and Zhan Lang as their leader, and they had around 50 thousand troops.
As for those who chose Dongting Lake, there were two split choices. One was to follow Huang Gai and move into Yuanjiang, or they could follow Liu Bei to go through Xiangjiang to attack Linxiang.
In the Liu Bei Camp, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Liang were present.
Those who chose Dongting Lake were basically there for the Liu Bei Camp. Their goal was to recruit Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang, these two famous fellows.
This group of players had Chun Shenjun as their leader, including those who chose Huang Gai, there were 80 thousand.
Ouyang Shuo lacked information regarding the player allocation of the Sun Liu Camp. If not, he would not fear the Zhou Yu troops in Yunmeng River.
220 thousand players were not enough to cause too much of a threat to Jiangling City.
In the middle camp tent, Di Chen acted as the player representative to meet Zhou Yu and report the changes in the contribution point ranking. At the same time, he described his conjecture: Lu Su's Army had already faced defeat.
When Zhou Yu heard this news, he remained silent, his face filled with pain.
”On the side of Red Cliff, do we have confidence?” Zhou Yu suddenly asked. Lu Su's Army was cleanly destroyed, which caused his confidence in Xiong Ba's plan to waver.
Di Chen replied, ”Of course not.” Di Chen also had a feeling that they were a little too confident about the plan. However, the arrow was already on the bowstring, so they had no choice but to fire.
When Zhou Yu heard these words, he did not know whether to believe them or not.
”On the side of Jiangling City?” Zhou Yu asked.
Di Chen understood what Zhou Yu was getting at, so he confidently replied, ”Of course, no problem!”
”Great!” Zhou Yu hollered, ”The army will charge forward and take down Jiangling to take revenge for them.”
”Yes!” Di Chen cupped his fists.
”You can leave!” Zhou Yu waved his hands; it was hard to hide his exhaustion.
It seemed like the fall of Lu Su's Army was a huge blow to Zhou Yu. In that army there was Lu Su, and his favored generals such as Lu Meng and Gan Ning.
Thinking about how these generals would face misfortune, Zhou Yu was heartbroken.
”I'm useless!”
In the empty camp, a low sigh was heard. The cold wind outside the tent seemed colder and colder.
Outside Linxiang City, Liu Bei Camp.
Liu Bei naturally received the same news that Zhou Yu did. The one that reported it to him was Chun Shenjun.
Liu Bei's first reaction was to summon Zhuge Liang.
After Zhuge Liang heard Chun Shenjun's report, he did not even hesitate and said, ”Lord, the fall of Lu Su's Army means that Red Cliff is in danger. The only plan is to retreat and gather with Huang Gai's troops to crush their player army.”
The strategic location of Red Cliff was something that Zhuge Liang was clear about.
”Retreat?” When Liu Bei heard this suggestion, he hesitated.
Just last night, the Changsha Governor Han Xuan had sent someone over to express their intentions to surrender.
Only the specifics remained.
This also meant that Changsha was there for the taking. Retreating now was not something he could bear to do. Liu Bei often roamed around, so he desired to have a territory of his own.
”That's right, immediately retreat!” Zhuge Liang was insistent.
”How can we do that? Changsha is right there. If we retreat, we will be wasting all our efforts! Retreat? Definitely not.” The one who spoke was Zhang Fei; his eyes were as wide as that of a bull's.
Guan Yu agreed, ”That's right, Red Cliff has Zhou Yu taking care of it. The most important thing is to take down Changsha.”
These two brothers were the sworn brothers of Liu Bei, and they saw through Liu Bei's thoughts.
Only Zhao Yun kept silent and did not speak.
The current Zhuge Liang had just come out and had not shown too much of his ability. Naturally, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not trust him.
Hence, the two spoke without any worries.
When Liu Bei heard the replies, he was unhappy and chided, ”Second brother, third brother, do not be rude, apologize to the advisor!”
”Big brother!”
