Sun Quan sat boredly on the stone steps in front of Cai Ji's house, looking at the flowers and plants in the garden, and his expression was very depressed. He thought that he could have a good look at the demeanor of this female middle school pipe by Cai Ji's side. But who would have thought that Cai Ji would leave him and Cao Pi and others today, and only take Tian Feng out of the city to inspect the cantonment with Jizhou civil and military forces. Compared with Sun Quan, who was depressed, Cao Pi, who was also left behind, was on duty in front of Cai Ji's room with a long sword at his waist. Although the room was empty at the moment, Cao Pi still stood straight, as if Cai Ji was working in the house.

After a while, Sun Quan, who finally couldn't stand the loneliness, turned over a harrier, got up and walked to Cao Pi's side to find a word, "Zihuan, you said that Qi Hou had any secrets when he went out of the city this time, and he didn't even bring Jia Wenhe." ＂

"Mr. Wenhe has never been involved in government affairs, and it is not surprising that he is too old to go out of the city with the Marquis of Qi. Cao Pi replied with a little disdain. Although Jia Xu lives in a simple house on weekdays, he also cherishes words like gold when he holds meetings. But if anyone doubts Jia Xu's position in the Cai Ji shogunate because of this, it is a big mistake. Cao Pi still remembers the battle of Guandu, when Mr. Wenhe helped the Marquis of Qi to behead Yan Liang and save Guandu, sweeping all the way across both sides of the Yellow River. Such a majestic scene could not be imagined by the disciple in front of him.

Sun Quan didn't mind Cao Pi's contempt and coldness at all, but leaned closer and said, "Then why didn't the Marquis of Qi take Zihuan out of the city?" The virtuous brother is also the fiancé of Qi Hou... ＂

"It's just a medium. As the Marquis of Qi commands, Pi will act. Cao Pi vigilantly interrupted Sun Quan's provocation. Cao Pi is not very old, but after two years of life in Qiying, he has more or less realized that his fiancé identity is a taboo for Cai Ji.

"How the Marquis of Qi commands, how to act...... In the past, Gou Jian was nothing more than this in front of his husband. Sun Quan deliberately lengthened his voice.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, King Goujian of Yue lay down and tasted courage to destroy Wu, and did not hesitate to commit himself to Wu Wangfu as a slave. Sun Quan used such specious examples as a metaphor for the relationship between Cao Pi and Cai Ji, which was naturally not good. For a moment, the idea of swinging a sword and slashing Sun Quan came to Cao Pi's mind. But in the end, the young man let go of the hand that was holding the hilt of the sword tightly, and turned to Sun Quan and sneered, "Pi is not the king of the dead country. It is not the enemy of Qi Hou. Even if one day his father and the Marquis of Qi turn against each other, it is the elder brother who inherits the Cao family business and the will of his father, not a concubine like Pi. How to say that the husband is poor! However, Sun Langjun took the initiative to commit himself as a hostage, I don't know if he intended to promote the Sun Cai Alliance, or did he want to be able to die as a brother one day? ＂

Cao Piyan said that he suddenly felt a burst of happiness in his heart. After the last time the Zun Jing Pavilion made a fuss, Cao Pi had already seen that Cai Ji was the only person who could protect him in the world today, and at the same time, he had completely dispelled his illusions about his father and the Cao family. "As the son of the Cao family, I must inherit the family business, and you, as the son of the Cao family, must marry", Cao Ang's words once made the young Cao Pi's heart surging and proud. But in retrospect, Cao Pi thinks this is a joke. Beat the elder brother who was destined to inherit the family business from birth. How can he be compared to such a concubine? As Cai Ji said frankly under the mulberry tree back then, whether Cao Cai is in alliance or not has nothing to do with him Cao Pi. He was nothing more than a sacrifice from his father for the Central Plains. Since his father doesn't care about the life and death of his concubine, then why should he Cao Pi be obsessed with a family honor that does not belong to him.

Facing Cao Pi, who abandoned his burden and went into battle lightly, Sun Quan was a little difficult to adapt for a while. Sun Quan didn't expect Cao Pi, who was five years younger than him, to be so sharp-tongued. Even the last rhetorical question vaguely touched some desires in his heart that were unknown to outsiders. So much so that Sun Quan, who was speechless for a while, had to retreat to the side, not daring to provoke the second son of the Cao family in front of him for the time being.

Sun Quan didn't know at this time. Just when he was upset because of Cao Pi's sentence "brother ends up with brother". The camp of the Wu army, far outside Changsha in Jingzhou, was a blank slur. But seeing that in the big tent of the Chinese army, the two rows of generals and colonels were all dressed in linen and wearing filial piety, and Sun Ce immediately sat in the center with a horizontal knife, and a pair of tiger eyes almost wanted to drip blood. On the offering table directly north behind him was the spirit tablet of Danyang Taishou Sun Yi.

It turned out that just a month ago, Sun Yi, who was then the Taishou of Danyang, was assassinated to death by Bian Hong, a general next to him, when he went out of the city to hunt. Sun Yi is Sun Ce's third brother and has just turned eighteen this year. Not only is his martial arts strong, but his personality is even more fierce and decisive, which is quite a bit of Sun Ce's demeanor. It is precisely because Sun Yi resembles himself that Sun Ce led his troops west to Jingzhou this time. He appointed Danyang County to his third brother to take charge. But who would have thought that the past would be separated forever.

"Zijing, what's going on? Why did Bian Hong assassinate San Langjun? "It was Ling Cao, the thief captain, who asked this question. He had just returned from his inspection of the Liuyang River, and suddenly faced the news of Sun Yi's death, and he was really a little confused. So I had to ask Lu Su, who came to report the funeral, for details.

In other words, Lu Su's return to the south this time was originally to report to Zhang Zhaoyu the results of his investigation in Donglai in the previous six months and Cai Ji's attitude towards Cao Cao's southern expedition. He thought that he had just arrived in Soochow on the front foot, and Bian Hong assassinated Sun Yi on the back foot. At that time, Zhang Zhaozheng was in Huiji, Zhang Hong was in Wujun, and Yu was in Fuchun, and several advisers in Eastern Wu couldn't get away. So Lu Su had to rush to Changsha to report the funeral.

At this time, in the face of Ling Cao's eager questioning, Lu Su sorted out what he knew, and then analyzed to the generals present, "Bian Hong is just a reckless person, and the one who really buys the murderer is Xiao Lian Yan and the county officer. It is reported that Fei Lan has proclaimed himself the governor of Danyang. ＂

Huang Gai's eyes widened angrily when he heard this, "The Grand Duke? Hmph, the shaft is also matched! ＂

Lu Su secretly sighed in his heart, Fei Lan may not be the governor of the capital, but he is far more suitable for the position of Taishou than the third prince. It turned out that Fei Lan was a wealthy family in Danyang, not only famous in the local area, but also recommended by the former Wu County Taishou Shengxian. If it weren't for Sun Ce forcibly assigning Sun Yi to Danyang, there is a good chance that this Danyang Taishou position would be in the bag of Fei Lan.

However, Sun Ce would not reflect on his previous inappropriate actions at all. The news of Sun Yi's death had already touched his scales. Seeing Sun Ce suddenly get up, he drew his knife and cut the case in front of him into two, "Bian Hong, Fei Lan, Dai Yuan!" If you don't punish these three thieves, you will be a brother in vain! ＂

"Kill Bian Hong! Kill the concubine! Kill the wearer! ＂

"Avenge Saburo-kun! ＂

In an instant, the sound of shouting and killing filled the entire camp, as if as long as Sun Ce gave an order, all the Wu generals would pull out the village and raise troops to kill Danyang. But the current Changsha does not allow Sun Ce to come and go freely. As the roaring sound in the tent gradually subsided, Lu Fan, the commander of the conquest who was sitting next to Sun Ce, couldn't help but clasp his fists and reminded Sun Ce, "The lord is angry, and there are still Liu Qi and Liu Bei outside Changsha City. If the lord hastily withdraws his troops. I am afraid that I will be attacked by Shuangliu taking advantage of the situation. ＂

Lu Fan's words made Sun Ce, who was originally in a rage, slowly calm down. In fact, in the entire Wu camp, the only people who could persuade Sun Ce like this were Zhou Yu and Lu Fan. At this time, Zhou Yu had not yet returned to the camp with his troops, and the responsibility of advising Sun Ce naturally fell on Lu Fan.

Lu Fan, whose name is Ziheng, is a native of Xiyang, Runan, and was one of the earliest staff members to follow Sun Ce. Thinking that Sun Ce had not yet established his meritorious career, only Lu Fan and his clansman Sun He followed him. The two often ran around for Sun Ce, not avoiding danger. During the early peace period, Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, was in Jiangdu, and Sun Ce sent Lü Fan to welcome Mrs. Wu back to Qu'a, so that her mother could temporarily live in the place where her uncle Wu Jing lived. Who knew that Tao Qian, who was the pastor of Xuzhou at the time, believed that Lü Fan was the internal response of Yuan Shu's side, and ordered all counties to arrest Lü Fan. After Lu Fan learned about it. Personally recruited experts, led the doorman to secretly pick up Mrs. Wu, and then quickly returned to Sun Ce's place to successfully complete the mission.

Since then, Sun Ce has regarded Lu Fan as a close relative, and often invites him to banquets. He ate and drank with Mrs. Wu, and did not adhere to the courtesy of the monarch and ministers. Lu Fan was not proud of it. Instead, he followed Sun Ce all the way to cross the river to the east. In the Eastern Crusade, Lü Fan first led his army to defeat Zhang Ying, Yu Lu and others at Hengjiang and Dangli. After that, he went south to capture Danyang, Huyu and other places, and made great contributions to Sun Ce's pacification of Jiangdong.

Of course, Lu Su knew that Lu Fan's status in Sun Ce's mind was far from being comparable to that of an ordinary minister like him. But Lu Su did not agree with Lu Fan's statement. In his opinion, Cao Cao's southward movement was aimed at annexing Jingyang and Yangzhou, and Sun Ce, as the lord of Jiangdong, did not return to the division to defend Cao's army, but wasted grain and grass outside Changsha City, which was really unwise. On the other hand, Sun Yi's death is certainly deplorable, but it is also an excellent opportunity to retire. As the saying goes, the mourning soldiers will win. At this time, instead of damaging morale, withdrawing troops will make the whole army hate the enemy.

And just when Lu Su was secretly thinking about how to refute Lu Fan, he suddenly saw a junior colonel running into the big tent and kneeling down on one knee to Sun Ce and said, "General." There was a person outside the camp who called himself Nanyang Zhuge Liang and asked to enter the camp to mourn the third son. ＂

Hearing that someone came to mourn for Sun Yi, Sun Ce, who was holding a long sword, couldn't help but pause. In his impression, his third brother doesn't seem to have a friend surnamed Zhuge . But since the other party came, he couldn't refute the other party's intentions, so Sun Ce immediately sat back in his place and waved to the little school, "Please." ＂

Sun Ce had no impression of the word "Zhuge Liang", which did not mean that the others present had never heard of Zhuge Liang's name. At least Lu Su knew that the person who came might be the younger brother of Zhuge Jin, a guest in Zhang Zhao's mansion. Lu Su had a very good impression of Zhuge Jin, not only because Zhuge Jin was dignified and elegant, but also because Zhuge Jin was humble and would not despise local scholars such as Lu Su like ordinary celebrities who moved south. But if the person who came was really Zhuge Ziyu's brother, then today's situation would be interesting. Thinking of this, Lu Su immediately sat upright, no longer thinking about how to go toe-for-tat with Lu Fan. Of course, he didn't remind Sun Ce of his intentions.

A short time later, the colonel led a young man dressed in white into the tent. Sun Ce saw that the comer was the same age as his deceased third brother, eight feet long, dignified, and did not squint all the way, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart when the third brother had befriended such a person. But Zhuge Liang didn't pay any attention to the curious gaze cast by Sun Ce and others. I saw him step forward slowly, kneel on the futon with a long robe, and bow respectfully to the spirit tablet on the offering table.

One knock, two knocks, three knocks, every time you knock on the first Zhuge Liang, there is a little more moistness in his eyes. When the third knock was finished, the tears that had already overflowed his eyes spontaneously slipped down with the choked sound in his throat.

The Han Dynasty people were very mourned, and the more fiercely they cried at the funeral, the closer they were to the deceased. There are even people who, in order to win the quota of filial piety, do not hesitate to cry day and night after the death of their parents, do not describe themselves as crying withered, and will never stop when they are half dead. Therefore, Zhuge Liang didn't say a word at this time, and cried as soon as he came up, which not only made Wu Jiang present feel abrupt, but also made people believe that he had a great relationship with Sun Yi.

As Zhuge Liang's crying became more and more sad, many Wu camp generals also sobbed together. As for Sun Ce's eyes, his eyes turned red, he stepped forward and patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder, gritted his teeth and swore, "Lang Jun mourns, and he will definitely avenge Uncle Bi!" ＂

How did Zhuge Liang wipe a handful of tears, shook his head again and again, "The general thinks that Liang is crying and Sanlang Junhu?" No, Liang is crying for the general and the people of Yangzhou! ＂

"Crying and the people of Yangzhou? Sun Ce's hand that was about to pat Zhuge Liang's shoulder hung in the air, with a different expression on his face. But Zhuge Liang didn't care whether Sun Ce understood it or not, and continued to lean over and hug his head and cry, and the crying was as tragic as just now.

Lu Su looked down at Zhuge Liang's performance in front of Sun Yiling, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously raised an arc that was not noticed by outsiders. It seems that the rumors I heard from my friends in Jingzhou before are not false, and Zhuge Ziyu's second brother is not simple.

At the same time, Sun Ce seemed to have reacted to something, and immediately frowned and asked, "What does Lang Jun mean by this?" ＂

"Cao Cao Xingshi went south to swallow Jing Yang, and Jiang Zuoxiao was all stupid. Today, Fei Lan dared to kill San Langjun and occupy Danyang, how did he know that there would be no rebels to seize Jiangdong and cast Cao Cao in the future? On the other hand, the general didn't know that the disaster was near, and he was still sitting in Changsha waiting to be killed, so how could Liang not cry for the general and the people of Yangzhou. Zhuge Liang said that the crying was even more miserable, as if the object of his crying at the moment was not Sun Yi but Sun Ce's foundation.

However, at this moment, none of the civil and military forces in the big tent jumped out to reprimand Zhuge Liang for being alarmist. Even Lu Fan, who had previously advised Sun Ce to postpone the withdrawal of his troops, only sighed helplessly. At present, anyone who knows a little bit about the general trend of the world will agree with Zhuge Liang's statement. Especially when he linked the rebellion of Concubine Lan with Cao Cao's southern invasion, Rao is Sun Ce, who has never been afraid of heaven and earth, and he can't help but feel a little empty at this time.

However, just as Sun Ce was about to ask the white-clothed young man in front of him for a solution, he suddenly heard someone outside the tent say loudly, "What a cry for the people of Yangzhou!" ＂

This magnetic sarcasm instantly broke the pessimistic atmosphere in the camp. Sun Ce, who came back to his senses, hurriedly looked for prestige, and saw Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital in military uniform, standing at the door of the camp tent in the dust, looking coldly at Zhuge Liang who was kneeling in front of the mourning hall with a pair of phoenix eyes.

――――――

Wow~~~ Liu Ding has imagined this scene many times, but it is still a little difficult to write. Sure enough, the writing is still not good+_+ (to be continued......)
