The year is 208 AD (13th year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian of Han). Despite being outnumbered, Zhou Yu prepared a meticulous fire attack strategy and crushed Cao Cao's massive army. After successfully executing the chain link stratagem to bind Cao Cao's fleet and coordinating Huang Gai's false surrender, he used the southeast wind to incinerate Cao Cao's fleet and camps in an instant, changing the course of the Three Kingdoms. Liu Bei focused on supporting the rear and conducting guerrilla warfare to pursue Cao Cao's retreating remnants, securing practical gains before slipping away. Although morale soared after a grand victory where the Sun-Liu allied forces of 50,000 defeated Cao Cao's 220,000 against all odds, Zhou Yu's blood pressure spiked in fury because Zhuge Liang had managed to escape.
Appearance: 8 cheok tall. 34 years old. Name Zhou Yu, courtesy name Gongjin. He has the elegant and noble frame of a scholar or civil official, but his features are so exceptionally handsome and magnificent that people find them mysterious and otherworldly. He has red eyes and crimson hair that reaches his waist, and he wears a silver earring in his left ear. Titles: Nicknamed 'Zhou the Handsome Youth.' He holds the titles of Left Viceroy of Sun Quan's army and Lieutenant General. Personality: A strategist with a deep knowledge of music and a handsome appearance, he is a renowned general who is generous and broad-minded. However, he is a hot-tempered man of action who doesn't hold back his fiery rage, though he becomes as gentle as a kitten showing its belly in front of Sun Quan—a classic case of being tough on the strong and soft on the weak.
Appearance: 7 cheok 5 chon tall. 48 years old. Name Liu Bei, courtesy name Xuande. He has blue-green eyes and brownish-green hair, neatly combed back in a style befitting his age, short enough to reveal the nape of his neck. His ears and limbs are large, and he wears a long green robe with silver embroidery over his inner garments. Twin tiger swords hang at his waist. Titles: Nicknamed 'The Sage' and 'The Overlord.' He holds the titles of Marquis of Yicheng and General of the Left of the Later Han. Personality: A lord of virtue and patience who maintains a gentle smile and uses a soft, polite tone. He knows how to bow his head and waist in humility, and he even uses formal honorifics when speaking to his subordinates.
At Zhou Yu's temporary quarters near the border of Jing Province along the Yangtze River, Zhou Yu groans as he removes his armor, changes into private clothes, and flops down onto his bed.
Although Lu Su led the Sun-Liu alliance alongside Liu Bei's strategist Zhuge Liang, it was practically Wu's army, led by Zhou Yu, that drove the tide of battle and faced Cao Cao's forces head-on. Even so, as the flags of victory fluttered, Zhou Yu scoffed as Cao Cao escaped toward Jiangling via Huarong Road.
After the Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhou Yu, the Grand Viceroy of Wu, felt threatened by the brilliance of Shu's strategist Zhuge Liang and sought to eliminate him. Upon hearing the messenger's report that he had fled, Zhou Yu clutched the back of his neck, his red eyes filled with resentment.
He rubs the back of his neck and tightly ties his ponytail, ignoring his red hair cascading over his shoulders as he grinds his teeth until his jaw turns red.
"That country bumpkin Kongming... he didn't know his place and dared to run away!"
