Yangzhou, Lujiang County, Anhui County.

When Jinyi Wei followed Xu Qi and others to ambush in the mountains and forests, the Jinyi Wei Wei Office had already sent back the news to Anhui County that the men of the Jiangdong Shi clan were already in place, and they were about to assassinate Sun Ce. Yuan Yao and Pang Tong had been waiting for a long time in the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and after Mao Xiang received the news from the Jinyi Guard, he saw that the plan had been successful, and hurriedly came to report the matter to Yuan Yao: "Lord, Jinyi Wei sent back the news that Sun Ce had been assassinated and died, and he left no end to pass it on!" ”

"Okay, that's great!!"

When Yuan Yao heard the news of Sun Ce's death, he was immediately overjoyed, Sun Ce was assassinated and died without a will, so Jiangdong would be in chaos, and the opportunity for himself to plot the land of Jiangdong had finally arrived! Yuan Yao then asked, "Is Sun Ce's death the hand of our people?" ”

A hint of pity flashed on Mao Xiang's face, and he said: "Back to the lord, according to the news sent back by the guard, it should be the last move of our dead soldiers, and the three dead soldiers have already died!" ”

Yuan Yao patted Mao Xiang on the shoulder and said, "Well, I know, this time you Jinyiwei have made a great contribution, these three people must be rewarded and compensated, and they must take care of their families." ”

Mao Xiang bowed down and bowed: "No, the last general will take the order!" ”

"Now that Sun Ce is dead, it's time for our plans to begin!" Yuan Yao pondered for a moment and ordered: "Immediately send an order to the ambush soldiers near Wuxi and Danyang, let them prepare to ambush Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, and try to intercept and kill them all, but if you can't do anything, don't force it too much." ”

Mao Xiang answered the promise and said: "No, don't worry, the ambush soldiers in both places have been in place, as long as Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu are negligent, my Jinyiwei will definitely leave their lives in Wuxi and Danyang!" ”

"Sun Ce was assassinated, Jiangdong will definitely do its best to block the news, we must take advantage of this time difference to spread all kinds of rumors in Jiangdong to distract the hearts of the Jiangdong army and people, and provide opportunities for those who are ambitious, let the guards start spreading rumors, be careful, don't be caught, Wuxian and Wuhu will wait until Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu leave before spreading rumors, so as not to startle the snake, do you understand?"

"No, the last general understands what the lord means."

"Well, you go down to deal with these two things first, but there is news from Jiangdong, hurry up and report to me!"

"The last general commands!"

"Sun Ce is dead, I can finally rest assured, Shi Yuan, let's go back and continue to discuss this matter, and bring Mr. Ziyang and Zijing together to discuss the matter of sending troops to Jiangdong!"

……

Yuan Yao and Pang Tong returned to the state pastor's mansion, and not long after, Liu Ye and Lu Su also rushed over.

Lu Su saw Yuan Yao and Pang Tong looking excited, and said, "Lord, seeing that you and Shi Yuan look good, you are in such a hurry to find me and Mr. Ziyang, but what good things do you want to tell us?" ”

Yuan Yao nodded slightly and gestured to Pang Tong, Pang Tong smiled and said: "Zijing has outstanding vision, if it is really worthy of his reputation, I and the lord do have a great good thing to tell the two of you, and the two of you must be mentally prepared." ”

"Oh? It must be a great thing to make Shiyuan pay so much attention, so don't sell it, hurry up! ”

Pang Tong replied with a smile: "Sun Ce was assassinated, and he died suddenly without any last words, this matter is a great good thing for my three counties in Lujiang?" ”

"What !!"

"Sun Ce is dead???"

"Sun Ce was assassinated and died suddenly, and there are no last words left?"

"This is a serious ??"

……

With the concentration of Liu Ye and Lu Su, after hearing this, they were all taken aback, and both of them couldn't sit still, they both got up and looked at Pang Tong and Yuan Yao, waiting for their final confirmation.

Yuan Yao saw the surprised expressions of the two and said: "This matter is undoubtedly confirmed, Sun Ce has been assassinated to death, and he has not left any last words, in order to confirm this matter, Jinyiwei also took in three elite dead soldiers, this matter must not be wrong!" ”

Lu Su had dealt with Sun Ce several times, knew him very well, sighed, and said: "Sun Ce is brave, but it's a pity that he is as brave and unprepared as his father, such a person will not survive to the end in the troubled times after all!" Sun Bofu started from scratch and dominated the land of Jiangdong for a few years, and he can be regarded as a hero in the world, but it is a pity that he died so worthless! However, Sun Ce died suddenly, and did not leave any last words, which is really a great thing for my three counties of Lujiang, so that the land of Jiangdong will return to the lord! It's just that I don't know how Sun Ce was assassinated? ”

Yuan Yao found out that Guangling Chen Deng colluded with Yan Baihu and the Jiangdong Shi clan to assassinate Sun Ce, and then Jinyiwei took advantage of the situation to tell Liu Ye and the two, and said: "I didn't know if this matter could be successful before, so I didn't tell the two gentlemen, this is not to hide it from the two gentlemen, please don't blame the two gentlemen!" ”

Liu Ye hurriedly replied: "The lord is serious, and there are clouds in the Book of Changes: if the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will be harmful, and he is a gentleman who is cautious and does not come out!" Sun Ce's life and death are related to the survival of Jiangdong, such a big event is naturally the fewer people who know, the better, now that this matter is done, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I account for these small things? ”

Lu Su also replied with a smile: "The lord and Shi Yuan must not have slept well in the past few days, if I also knew about this early, I would definitely not be able to eat and sleep well, so I would like to thank the lord for his understanding!" ”

"Hahahaha, it's good that the two gentlemen can understand."

Yuan Yao laughed a few times, and then said: "Now that Sun Ce is dead, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu will definitely go to Dantu to deal with Sun Ce's funeral, I have asked Jinyi Wei to intercept and kill Zhou Yu and the two, if the two of them are also dead, then the land of Jiangdong can be destroyed, but even if the two of them don't die, it will only require our army to spend some more effort." In addition, Jinyiwei will also spread all kinds of rumors in the land of Jiangdong, in order to confuse the public and distract the hearts of the army and people in Jiangdong, and create a better opportunity for our army to capture the land of Jiangdong! ”

"The lord is ready, and the ministers are obedient!".

"But these means are just to create an opportunity for my army, there are more than 100,000 troops in Jiangdong as the foundation, if you want to capture Jiangdong, you must lead the army to conquer and destroy Jiangdong soldiers and horses! I invited the two gentlemen here to discuss the matter of marching into Jiangdong, I wonder what your views are on the matter of marching into Jiangdong? ”

Pang Tong had long known about Yuan Yao's plans, and had been planning for the Jiangdong war for a long time, and when he heard what Yuan Yao said, Pang Tong stepped forward and replied: "Back to the lord, the minister thinks that attacking Jiangdong is nothing more than a delay and urgency!" ”
