In fact, the three of them were the sons and disciples of Xu Gong, the former Taishou of Wu County, who were killed by Sun Ce, and they came to seek revenge on Sun Ce.

When the three of them saw that their identities were exposed, they shot arrows at Sun Ce one after another.

Although Sun Ce is strong in martial arts, the arrow wound he suffered before has not healed, and his left arm is struggling to lift up, and he only has time to shoot one of them, but he is shot in the cheek by the other two.

At this time, Sun Ce's guards arrived, killed all the assassins, and rescued Sun Ce back to the camp.

Sun Ce was seriously injured, and knowing that his fate was not long in coming, he sent someone to summon his younger brothers, Zhang Zhao and other ministers to his side.

Sun Ce said to everyone: "The Central Plains is in turmoil, with the resources and soldiers of our Wuyue land, as well as the dangers of Sanjiang, it is enough to protect ourselves. ”

"We can sit back and watch the tiger fight, and wait for it to be successful. After I die, you will be a good assistant to my brother Sun Quan. ”

Then he summoned Sun Quan to his side, handed him his seal, and said to him: "Lead the army of Jiangdong, fight a decisive battle in front of the two armies, kill the enemy generals, and run rampant in the world, you are not as good as me." ”

"But when it comes to being virtuous and capable, so that everyone can do their best, make the best use of their talents, and keep Jiangdong, I am not as good as you."

"I entrust this Jiangdong foundation to you, you are still young, you can ask Zhang Zhao about political affairs, and you can rely on Zhou Yu for military affairs."

That night, Sun Ce died of his injuries at the age of twenty-four.

Sun Quan took over the military and political power of Jiangdong in accordance with Sun Ce's will, and Sun Quan was only seventeen years old at this time.

Sun Quan became famous at a young age, and he usually likes to keep customers, is a corporal of courtesy, and has a gentle temperament, and is deeply loved by everyone in Jiangdong.

Sun Quan sent an envoy to the Chang'an court to inform him of Sun Ce's death.

Lu Bu naturally knew about Sun Ce's death long before the envoy arrived, and it was not surprising that Sun Quan took over the Jiangdong regime.

Because the Jiangdong Sun family has always been respectful to the imperial court and has a thorough manner, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty happily issued an edict, and Sun Quan attacked the general and the Marquis of Wu, and concurrently served as the assassin of Yangzhou.

When Sun Quan took over the power, Sun Ce's time to unify Jiangdong was still short, and there were many dissenting people among the soldiers, soldiers, and people.

Soon, there were county guards and county orders rebelled, and other clan ministers collaborated with Cao Cao, and the situation was chaotic.

Even Danyang Taishou Sun Yi was killed by people of the same clan, and even the clansmen coveted the power in Sun Quan's hands, and the people of Shanyue in Yuzhang, Huiji and other places also took the opportunity to make trouble.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi and others were very loyal to Sun Quan and were also very loyal to Sun Ce's entrustment.

Zhou Yu led troops from Chaisang to the funeral as soon as possible, and stayed in Wu County to support Sun Quan.

Sun Quan also appointed Zhou Yu as the central protector and Zhang Zhao as the chief historian, and the two of them were jointly in charge of military and political affairs.

At that time, Sun Quan's title was only a general, and many people just used ordinary etiquette to meet him.

Only Zhou Yu met with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister every time to show his support.

However, there is one person who has not received Sun Quan's attention, and that is Lu Su.

Because Sun Quan felt that Lu Su was too ambitious, thought too far, not modest enough, and unrealistic, and Zhang Zhao also said bad things about Lu Su to Sun Quan behind his back many times.

So although Zhou Yu strongly recommended him, Sun Quan still neglected him and did not entrust him with important tasks.

It happened that not long after Sun Ce died, Lu Su's grandmother also died, and Lu Su took this as an excuse to ask Sun Quan for leave and rushed back to Dongcheng to handle the funeral, but in fact, he had the heart to leave Jiangdong.

Li Su's intelligence department had already listed the counties in Jiangdong as a key focus area, so he was very concerned about any disturbances here, and he also developed an internal line under Sun Quan's hands.

The news that Lu Su was depressed had already been reported to Li Su and Lu Bu, and as a senior talent in Jiangdong who had been named by Lu Bu personally, Li Su was naturally very concerned.

This time, I heard that Lu Su left Wu County and returned to his hometown in Dongcheng to mourn his grandmother, so he thought it was a godsend.

He brought Lu Bu's handwritten letter that he had prepared a long time ago, hehe, like this handwritten letter, Lu Bu wrote a lot in advance, and there are also for Zhou Yu!

Li Su personally went out and quietly infiltrated the eastern city, which is now Cao Cao's territory, but it has just been occupied and is still very chaotic.

In the name of Lu Su's best friend, he paid for a very grand funeral for Lu Su's grandmother, and bought the best coffin and cemetery.

Because of this, he had a very happy conversation with Lu Su's mother, and he said that he was here to pick up Lu Su to go to Chang'an to develop this time, just in time for the funeral.

He said that the court in Chang'an admired Lu Su's talent, and he recommended it many times, and this time he was ordered by Lord Lu Bu and His Majesty the Emperor to recruit Lu Su.

Lu Su's mother heard that it was someone from the Chang'an Imperial Court who came to recruit her son on behalf of the emperor and Lord Lu Bu, so she was naturally very happy and grateful.

and promised Li Su to do Lu Su's job well, of course the mother knew that her son was sometimes more stubborn and admitted death.

Coincidentally, at this time, Lu Su came back.

Lu Su was very surprised that someone had already helped him take care of his grandmother's funeral, and the etiquette and regulations were high-level, which was very grand.

I heard that my mother said that she was my friend, and she came from Chang'an, so she was even more curious, so she personally visited and thanked Li Su.

Li Su did not hide his identity either, and sent Lu Bu's handwritten letter.

Lu Su saw that Lu Bu's attitude in the letter was sincere and full of sincerity, and he had also heard of Li Su's name, and he also arranged the affairs of the family properly.

Lu Su's mother also felt that the Chang'an Imperial Court was much more orthodox than Sun Quan's Jiangdong, and wouldn't it be much better to get a background in Chang'an than Jiangdong?

Lu Su is a filial son, his mother's opinion is very important, and he has a good impression of Lu Bu, and he has admired him for a long time, so he readily agreed to return to Chang'an with his mother and Li Su.

Li Su was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he arranged overnight, and arranged a special car to pick up Lu Su and his mother on the road the next day.

Sure enough, Zhou Yu's messenger soon came, who came to persuade Lu Su to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible, but unfortunately he was one step too late, and the house was empty.

After Zhou Yu heard this, he was full of remorse, and he complained that Sun Quan should not let Lu Su go, but Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan didn't think so.

Zhou Yu said that they didn't understand Lu Su, didn't see Lu Su's strengths, and would regret it in the future.

Under the careful arrangement of the Ministry of Intelligence, Lu Su and his entourage successfully arrived in Chang'an, and Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard the news.

This is the second metropolitan governor after Zhou Yu of Wu State, of course, that is a matter of another time and space, but these are enough to prove that his ability is excellent.

Lu Bu praised Li Su greatly, and then warmly entertained Lu Su and his family.

At the banquet, Lu Bu promised Lu Su to choose his favorite position, and he would give him full support.

Lu Su thought about it for a while, and said that he had long heard that Chang'an had a Central Military Academy and an Army University, which taught many novel things, related to war, and he wanted to learn about it.

At that time, the fourteenth phase of the Lantian Central Military Academy had been open for two months, and Lu Bu had specially approved Lu Su to be admitted to the class without examination, but the graduation examination depended on his own efforts, and the Army University needed Lu Su to fight for it himself.

In June, Yuan Shao transported a lot of grain and grass from Jizhou and Youzhou, and sent the general Chun Yuqiong to lead an army of 10,000 people to guard it and stay in Wuchao.
