"They were like two dragons fighting a decisive battle. In the battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao's towered ship was completely destroyed. Blazing flames filled the skies as Zhou Yu finally defeated the tyrant Cao Cao."
—Song of Red Cliffs: Farewell by Li Bai (the Tang dynasty)
Greetings, mighty Lords!
Blazing flames fill the skies in the battle of Red Cliffs! In the last previews, we had a look at the brand new Battle at Red Cliffs season. Its registration will soon be open in the Preparation Area, and we are sure all of you are eager to experience the thrilling historical battle. But before that, let's take a peek at the series of "Battle at Red Cliffs" events.
The following features will be available throughout the season:
New Hero: Zhou Yu
Zhou Yu, courtesy name Gongjin, was the son of Zhou Yi (a prefect of Luoyang), a strategist, politician, tactician, and famous general of Eastern Wu in the late Eastern Han dynasty.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had been close friends since their childhood, and he had followed Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong since the third year of Jian'an. In the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce was assassinated and Sun Quan succeeded him. Zhou Yu led his army to attend the funeral, and he served as Central Protector and assisted Sun Quan in overseeing Jiangdong with Zhang Zhao. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's army was closing in on Jiangdong. With Cao Cao's army suffering four major setbacks, Zhou Yu was determined to fight Cao Cao. He personally led the army of Eastern Wu and defeated Cao Cao's at Red Cliffs with fire attacks, which laid the foundation of the "tripartite division of China" in the late Han Dynasty. In the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Zhou Yu led his army to defeat the allied forces of Cao Ren and Xu Huang in the Battle of Nan Commandery. He successfully seized Jiangling, a town of strategic importance, and was then appointed as Lieutenant-General and Governor of Nan Commandery. In the fifteenth year of Jian'an, he put forward a plan to seize Shu, capture Zhang Lu, unite with Ma Chao, and then use Xiangyang as a base to nibble away Cao Cao's territory and eventually conquer the north. He died of illness at Baqiu on the way back to make preparations for the campaign. He was only 36 years old at the time of his death.
Zhou Yu was described as an open-minded, generous, elegant, resourceful, and remarkable man. He was skilled in both civil and military affairs and had great talent and vision. He was one of the key figures in Eastern Wu's military success and prowess. He was praised as "one of the world's mightiest heroes, an elegant and romantic gentleman of the Jiangdong region."
