"Ziyu, you're still in the mood for jokes!" Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Jin with dissatisfaction.
"Gongjin, you're losing composure! The situation isn't that bad yet!" Zhuge Jin hinted with his usual kind-hearted smile.
"It's bad enough." Zhou Yu shook his head and didn't say anything more, merely gazing toward the west, where Sun Ce and the Yizhou Army clashed, "To fulfill Fa Xiaozhi's wish, I compromised. Next, I will head to Jing-Xiang with great fanfare. I believe Shiyuan won't disappoint me."
"Send Derun and Zhongye to Xuzhou." suggested Zhuge Jin. He would have been the most suitable to lure the defeated troops to Eastern Wu, but with the current ambiguous situation and Zhou Yu unable to stay in Shouchun to suppress internal issues, he had no choice but to remain.
"That might be best..." Zhou Yu hesitated before speaking.
