Xu Huang was the commander-in-chief, Huang Zhong was the vanguard, and Zhang Liao was the deputy vanguard.

They assembled an army of 700,000 and marched in a mighty force toward Jiangdong!

On the other side, in Jianye, Eastern Wu, at the Hall of State Affairs.

Sun Quan sat high on the throne, his expression shifting between light and dark, for he had received news that Liu Bei had assembled an army of 700,000 to attack Eastern Wu.

"King of Wu, Liu Bei intends to take over our Eastern Wu. What should we do?" Zhang Zhao asked.

Sun Quan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Liu Bei wants to destroy my Eastern Wu. How can I sit idly by and wait for death?"

Sun Quan pondered for a moment and then ordered, "Summon all the ministers for a meeting!"

"Yes!" the guard replied and withdrew.

Before long, the ministers arrived one after another, gathering in a large assembly.

Sun Quan looked around at everyone and said loudly, "My dear ministers, Zhang Da and Fan Jiang killed Zhang Fei and fled to my Jiangdong. Liu Bei, however, wants to use this as an excuse to launch a military campaign against my Jiangdong. What do you all think?"

Zhang Hong sneered, "Liu Bei is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and he and Jiangdong have long been at odds. This time he actually sent troops to invade Jiangdong, and we must not let this go!"

The others nodded in agreement, saying, "Shu Han has gone too far! We must teach Liu Bei a lesson!"

Seeing the crowd's high spirits, Sun Quan smiled slightly and continued, "In that case, immediately mobilize troops and convey my decree to order Lu Su to deploy troops and prepare to meet Liu Bei!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Su cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

Although he frowned, things had come to this point, and this battle was inevitable!

Inside the Shu Han military tents, flickering lights illuminated resolute yet tense faces.

Liu Bei sat in the main seat, a detailed map spread out in front of him. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes flashed with complex emotions.
