Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

The teleportation of the heavens began, and Suo Chao's figure gradually blurred within the teleportation light gate. When the light dissipated, he was already outside the Julu battlefield in the third year of the reign of Qin II. At this time, the battlefield of Jingzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty was also shrouded in dark clouds, and the situation was turbulent.

In Jiangdong, Sun Wu, clad in imposing armor, stood tall and proud on the stage reviewing his generals. His gaze was piercing, as he surveyed the 20-strong army arrayed in neat formation and displaying impressive power.

The breeze blew gently, and his cloak rustled. In his mind, he was planning a grand undertaking that would shock the world - to seize Nanyang County and then swallow up the entire Jingzhou.

In Runan County, Sima Yi was also full of confidence. He was wearing a black robe fluttering in the wind and leading an army of 15, like a surging black wave, rushing towards Nanyang, determined to win.

Yan Xiang sat in the center of the commander's tent, a delicate desk covered in neatly arranged maps and documents. Her face was calm, but her eyes held a hint of solemnity. Her slender fingers tapped the desk gently, creating a rhythmic sound.

Xu Shu and Yuwen Tai stood respectfully on either side. Xu Shu, sword in hand, seemed lost in thought, while Yuwen Tai held his head high, his chest puffed out, his gaze determined.

"Generals," Yan Xiang opened her red lips slightly, her voice clear but not without dignity.

"The enemy is coming with overwhelming force, like a tidal wave. How should we respond? Do you have any good strategies for repelling them?"

Yuwen Tai stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, his movements crisp and clear, and he said loudly:

"General Yan, although our army is at a disadvantage with 25 to 35 troops, we are well-equipped and our soldiers are willing to fight to the death, so we are capable of fighting against them!" After he said that, his eyes flashed with confidence, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Xu Shu shook his head slightly, frowned, and said worriedly:

"Not good! The commander of the Jiangdong army is the famous military saint Sun Wu. Most of our soldiers are not used to water battles. This is a taboo in military strategy and must not be taken lightly." His eyes revealed deep worry, as if he had foreseen the difficulties and obstacles on the battlefield.

Before leaving the battlefield of Jingzhou, Suo Chao weighed his options and activated his "Know Yourself, Know Your Enemy" skill. He detailed the combat attributes he had discovered about Sun Wu to his wife, Yan Xiang, and Military Advisor Xu.

Yan Xiang knew Sun Wu's strength well, like an insurmountable mountain looming before her. She frowned slightly, silently pondering a strategy, and after a moment, she said:

"Military Advisor Xu is right. Right now, we need to intensify our preparations for war and train our navy. We must not slack off in the slightest. Pass the order down, and do our best to consolidate the defensive fortifications on the Nanyang front. At the same time, send more manpower and closely check the spies in the city to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of any opportunity." Her eyes were firm, her tone unquestionable, and her frail body seemed to contain endless strength.

Nanyang County was surrounded by water, and the northern soldiers gazed upon the vast expanse with fear. Yan Xiang, well aware of the importance of naval warfare, toiled day and night between the city walls, personally overseeing the construction of fortifications, her clothes drenched in sweat.

At the same time, she selected elite troops, set up a training camp by the river, and personally directed the training of the navy. Her determined eyes and serious expression filled the hearts of the soldiers with awe.

Nanjun Water Fort.

Sun Ce, riding a white horse, arrived at the front in a stately manner. He was agile and imposing, with an air of dignity. Behind him followed generals Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao.

When Sun Wu saw Sun Ce, he hurried forward and bowed respectfully, saying:

"Sun Wu, I'm here to meet you, my lord." His expression was serious and his attitude was humble, but his eyes revealed an aura of majesty without even being angry.

Sun Ce quickly dismounted, helped Sun Wu up, and said with a smile on his face:

"Ancestor, there's no need to be so polite." He had great respect for Sun Wu in his heart. After all, Sun Wu was the glory and foundation of the Sun family.

Moreover, as the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, Sun Wu was the backbone of the entire Jiangdong, and Sun Ce did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

In order to win over Sun Ce, Cao Cao even used the name of Emperor Xian of Han to confer the title of King of Jiangdong on Sun Ce. This move was like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake, causing an uproar throughout the country.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, it has been extremely rare for a person of a different surname to be enthroned as a king. The deep meaning and political intrigue contained in it are difficult to understand.

"Gongjin," Sun Ce turned to look at Zhou Yu, his eyes full of trust and expectation.

"You are an expert in naval warfare. This battle is crucial. You must fully cooperate with the Grand Admiral."

Zhou Yu clasped his fists and saluted, his hair flying, and said with a firm look in his eyes:

"Don't worry, my lord. Gongjin will do his best to live up to your expectations."

Huang Gai's face was solemn. He took a step forward, looked directly into Sun Ce's eyes, and said loudly:

"My lord, is this battle necessary? Boyi is your brother. He pacified Jiangdong and rescued the old lord in the past. General Boyi has made great achievements in battle. How can we go against him?" He frowned, his face full of worry and reluctance.

Zu Mao nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Huang Gai's opinion. He also opposed sending troops to fight Suo Chao.

Zhou Yu saw this, his face darkened, and he said unhappily:

"Gong Fu, Darong, what you have done is disrupting the morale of the army and your intentions are ill-intentioned. My lord, I hope you can severely punish these two people." There was a hint of anger in his eyes, and the hilt of the sword in his hand tightened unconsciously.

Sun Ce looked troubled. He knew these two men were his father's former subordinates, and they had a close friendship with his brother, Suo Chao. If he punished them lightly, it would chill the hearts of the soldiers. Seeing this, Zhou Yu quietly leaned over to Sun Ce's ear and whispered the plan of the "Torture Scheme."

After hearing this, Sun Ce took a deep breath, his face darkened, and he said in a feigned anger:

"Hmph! Gongfu, Darong, you are blatantly violating military orders. Gongjin, these two people will be handed over to you for disposal." Although he felt reluctant, he had no choice but to do so for the sake of the overall situation.

Zhou Yu took the order and personally carried out the military law. His expression was serious, and he raised the military stick high in his hand, then slowly lowered it.

The Grand Commander Sun Wu, who was standing by, watched all this, his lips slightly raised in a meaningful smile, which seemed to conceal a deeper plan and layout for the future battle.
