"As the saying goes, heroes have their pride. Although I, Zhou Yu, am not a great hero, I refuse to admit defeat in public and let Li Huan and Zhuge Liang destroy the prestige of my Eastern Wu!"
"Damn it!" Li Huan cursed inwardly. Zhou Yu was still trying to justify himself and save face.
Sun Shangxiang said, "Commander Zhou, in terms of wisdom and strategy, you are indeed inferior to Li Huan. You should admit defeat as soon as possible!"
Zhou Yu's brows furrowed, and he hesitated to speak.
Sun Shangxiang continued, "Do you know that when your raid on Cao Cao's camp failed, Li Huan devised a plan for Liu Bei, helping him capture Jiangling City?"
Zhou Yu was dumbfounded.
Sun Shangxiang said, "Fortunately, Liu Bei captured Jiangling, cutting off Cao Cao's food and military supplies, forcing him to abandon his attack on Eastern Wu and retreat."

The girl praised him while gazing at Li Huan with affection.
Wu Guotai looked at Li Huan, who had a unique appearance, again. Her gaze was full of appreciation, like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law and liking him more and more.
Suddenly, Zhou Yu's eyes darted around, and a cunning smile appeared on his face.
"Li Huan, I'll bet with you one more time! If you win, I'll not only apologize, but I'll also pay double the cost of the meal!"
Li Huan immediately became wary.
Zhou Yu is cunning and scheming, and he's about to pull another trick!
Li Huan asked, "What do you want to bet?"
