Volume 5 The General Trend of the World Chapter 65 A Nail (I)
Zhuge Jin walked into the tent. [ ] I saw Sun Quan lying on the bed, the wound on his body had been bandaged, and there was still blood oozing from the wound from time to time.
Sun Quan's face was pale, his lips were slightly yellowish, and his eyes were even more confused. Seeing Zhuge Jin and the others coming in, Sun Quan's eyes flashed with a rare glimmer of light.
"Your Majesty......" Zhuge Jin and others knelt in front of Sun Quan one after another.
"Ziyu, I'm going to die!" Sun Quan said with a little melancholy.
"Your Majesty, you ......"
"Don't interrupt me, listen to me. Sun Shao, you write, I want to make a will! Sun Quan gasped and said.
Sun Shao hurriedly picked up the pen and paper from the busy side, and at the same time, Zhuge Jin and Gu Yong both gathered around.
"Ziyu, after my death, the army will be temporarily led by you, immediately withdraw to Shouchun, and order He Qi to be the governor of the navy, and hold Huaishui tightly, as long as you can hold Huaishui, and do not let the Wei army go south to Huainan, there is no need to attack the city and conquer the ......"
"Recruit Lu Dai to Jingzhou. Instead of 6 Xun, Lu Dai became a country, and it was not possible to open up the territory, but it was more than enough to defend Jingzhou. There is no Lu Dai in Jiaozhou, Shihui and others will rebel, but Shihui can be named the general of Zhennan, the Marquis of Cangwu, and temporarily settle his heart. β
"After you return to Shouchun, you will immediately recruit Zigao (Sun Liang's cousin) to come back and take the throne. Although Zigao is a concubine, he is benevolent and benevolent, and he will be able to stabilize the people and obey the people. But Zigao is not good at attacking, so I hope that you Aiqing can do your best to assist......"
"Zigao is young after all, Zhuge Jin, 6 Xun, Gu Yong, the three of you are auxiliary ministers, leading the government, Buqi, Quan Cong, Zhu Ju, Lu Dai, Wu Cang, Kan Ze, Yan Ji, Zhang Cheng, Sun Yi and others, loyal to the country, accessible and governed, can be of great use."
"Chang'an Liu Chan and Yecheng Cao Rong are all new monarchs...... Although Cao Rong is a few years older and pretends to be a literary style, he is not a king who opens up territory. Chang'an's Liu family's son, who has been very smart since he was a child, has made a series of big moves after he ascended the throne, defeating the Xianbei Huns and resisting the Qiang people. Reform the official position and build six ministries, it can be seen that this son is in the military outside and knows political affairs inside, and this son is my Jiangdong big trouble! β
"The Gongsun family of Liaodong has always been ambitious, but Liaodong is remote and sparsely populated. However, our Jiangdong naval army can go out of the East China Sea to Liaodong, which Liu Jiazi can't do. Many years ago, I wanted to unite with the Gongsun family of Liaodong to jointly defeat Wei, and after my death, you must keep in touch with Liaodong, and once the time is right, you can plot against the Gongsun family. β
Sun Quan said this, looked at Gu Yong next to him, and then said: "6 Bo Yan is a genius in the world, quite a public style, he can be used in the military, he can attack the city when he advances, and he can protect his family and defend the country when he retreats; Yuan sighs that you are full of poetry and books, and you are well versed in political affairs. There is quite a difference between Xiao He, with you assisting Yuan Liang and stabilizing the national government, I am also relieved! β
Sun Quan paused, stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhuge Jin tightly, and then said: "Ziyu, you have the great talent to stabilize the country, and you are good at internal and external affairs, you can take the center to deal with it, check and fill in the gaps, you can avoid treacherous ministers inside, and you can resist the enemies of wolves and vultures, and you can also go to the ...... with peace of mind."
"Your Majesty......" Zhuge Jin's eyes were already filled with tears.
"Hehehe, when my father was lucky enough to get through the jade seal, there was a scholar who said that if you get the jade seal, three generations will suffer from it. Thinking of his father, he died at the hands of Huang Zu; and his brother Sun Ce died in the conspiracy of Xu Gongmen; I thought that the assassination of the third brother Sun Shubi was the fulfillment of the third generation, but I didn't expect it! Still can't hide. Now, it's finally my turn, three generations of our grandson family...... Doomed to die a good death, it is difficult to die well......"
Sun Quan said this, his eyes gradually became blurred, and then, the light in Sun Quan's eyes gradually dissipated, and the sound of breathing gradually stopped. The hand that was holding Zhuge Jin fell suddenly......
β¦β¦
Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, was shot to death by Liu Biaobu because he secretly possessed a jade seal; Later, Sun Ce was ambushed by the Xu Gongmen and died of illness soon after; Sun Quan's third brother Sun Yi, whose name is Uncle Bi, has been brave and resolute since he was a child, but in the end he was killed by his confidant Bian Hong.
β¦β¦
Huaiyin, Cao Jun's camp.
Cao Zhen walked back and forth in the tent with an anxious face. Next to him, Chen Tai looked at Cao Zhen in a little surprise.
Chen Tai has been fighting with Cao Zhen for some years, but in Chen Tai's memory, he has never seen Cao Zhen so nervous! Even if the war is imminent, I have never seen Cao Zhen act like this.
Indeed, Cao Zhen was very nervous at this time, whether Sun Quan was alive or dead, the relationship was too great, this would not only affect the outcome of the current battle, but also affect the future pattern of the three kingdoms, as well as the strategic deployment of the three countries in the future.
Compared with Liu Bei and Cao Cao, Sun Quan is indeed very young, and Sun Quan is a generation older than Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and Sun Quan is really about the same age as Cao Pi. But Sun Quan has been on the throne for a long time. It is calculated that Sun Quan is now in the prime of life, and Sun Quan is very healthy on weekdays, and there is no disease. It stands to reason that there should be no problem in living past the age of 60.
It is precisely because of this that for Cao Wei, the imaginary enemy of Jiangdong in the next twenty years is Sun Quan, and if Sun Quan dies suddenly, whether it is Wei or Shu, it will inevitably immediately change the strategy of response, and the death of Sun Quan is not only the loss of a life, but also involves the change of the pattern of the Three Kingdoms. That's why Cao Zhen is so nervous. The performance is inevitably a bit out of shape.
"General!" Biqiu Jian hurried in from outside.
"How? Is Sun Quan dead? Cao Zhen asked eagerly.
"General, Sun Quan is not dead, the last general has not found out, but the Wu army has begun to retreat. According to the report of the Tanma Institute, the Huaishui Heqi Navy also moved. β
"The Wu army has retreated...... Cao Zhen nodded, and then said: "So Sun Quan is not dead, but he is also seriously injured, so the Wu army is no longer able to fight!" β
"General, let's go and pursue the Wu army, while Sun Quan is injured, the Wu army will inevitably lose morale, and there will be no dragons, at this time to attack the Wu army, we will definitely be able to gain something!" Zhang Hu hurriedly said.
"No!" Biqiu Jian immediately stopped: "General, you can't pursue it." The last general has been lurking in the Wu camp for many days, and now there are quite a few capable people in the Wu army, and now that the Wu army is retreating, it will definitely be prepared, and an ambush must have been prepared on the road. β
"That's what Biqiu Jian said." Cao Zhen nodded, and continued: "Sun Quan is either dead or injured, but don't forget that there is also a Zhuge Jin, the people of the Zhuge family are very cautious, Zhuge Jin will definitely guard against our army following and chasing, I must have prepared a response, I will rush to chase over, maybe we will really be ambushed, so it's not good!" It's better to wait and see what happens, and after the Wu army withdraws to Shouchun, we have to immediately divide our troops, support Sima Yi, and defeat 6 Xun, which is the best policy! β
"Father, father, something is wrong!" Cao Shuang took three steps and rushed in two steps.
"What's the matter? So panicked! Cao Zhen asked.
"Father, something is wrong, Luoyang is lost!"
"What do you say? Luoyang lost? How can it be? So fast? Cao Zhen's first reaction was that this Luoyang was lost too quickly.
"What about Sima Yi? How is he? Then Cao Zhen immediately asked.
In Cao Zhen's opinion. Luoyang was lost, and the losses were very large, but if Sima Yi's troops were saved, the Wei army would be able to hold other places.
Sima Taiwei led the troops back to Xiangcheng, and at the same time deployed on the front line of Yingchuan. However, this Wancheng fell into the hands of 6 Xun! Cao Shuang replied.
"......Huh" Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief slightly, fortunately, Sima Yi's main force is still there, so that the Yingchuan generation can still build a new line of defense, so that it will not collapse for thousands of miles.
"Without further ado, it seems that we have to support Sima Yi as soon as possible, Chen Tai, immediately convene the generals and raise the account!"
β¦β¦
Wancheng. 6 Xun has already entered Wancheng.
The battle went smoothly than 6 Xun thought about it much smoother, because he did not have too many confrontations with Sima Yi, the Wu army did not lose much, so little loss got the whole Nanyang, it was worth it.
Thinking of this, 6 Xun had to thank Adou, if it weren't for Adou's quick advancement, Sima Yi would not have given up Xiangyang and Wancheng one after another.
At the same time, 6 Xun had a trace of fear in his heart, the Han army only took a very short time to break through Wuguan and Tongguan, and even Luoyang was easily taken, which shows that the Han army's combat effectiveness is strong, and the Han army is so strong that sooner or later it will become a huge stumbling block in Jiangdong.
Although 6 Xun got Nanyang, 6 Xun also knew that if he wanted to continue to advance eastward, it would be much more difficult. Further east is Yingchuan, Xu Du is located in the middle of Yingchuan, Sima Yi is stupid and incompetent, it is impossible to give Xu Du to himself easily, and the next attack will not be as smooth as now.
"Sima Yi, let's have a good fight!" There was a glimmer of light in 6 Xun's eyes, and he could feel the strong fighting intent exuded by 6 Xun.
"Metropolitan Governor, Shouchun urgent!"
"Shouchun urgent?" 6 Xun was slightly stunned, at this time Sun Quan should still be fighting with Cao Zhen, Shou Chun is now in the news, and it is an urgent report, it is nothing more than two possibilities, one is Sun Quan's big victory, which is to report his victory; The second is that Sun Quan suffered defeat.
6 Xun took the letter, opened it gently, and then, his face turned pale with a "sigh", and his eyes showed an incredible look.
"How is it possible, Your Majesty has died?"
Like everyone, 6 Xun also thought that Sun Quan, who was only in his forties this year, had at least more than 20 years to live, and in this troubled era, he could do a lot of things in 20 years. If it weren't for the defeat of Chibi, maybe Cao Cao would really have been able to dominate the world for twenty years.
Sun Quan is very strong on weekdays, and from beginning to end, 6 Xun never thought that Sun Quan might die. So now, the news of Sun Quan's death has fallen into the hands of 6 Xun, and 6 Xun has become a little overwhelmed.
6 Xun took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, 6 Xun was still in turmoil.
"Am I dazzled?" 6 Xun forcibly suppressed his mind, looked at it again, and looked carefully word by word, and it turned out that there was no problem with 6 Xun's eyes, and Sun Quan was indeed dead.
Who started with 6 Xun, the letter slowly fell to the ground, and then 6 Xun looked ahead with a confused face, and the confused expression, Wancheng was filled with 6 Xun's facial features.
"Your Majesty has really died......"
β¦β¦
In order to determine whether Sun Quan was alive or dead, Cao Zhen used almost all his strength, and the spies who were planted in Wu's army began to move one after another, trying to find out the specific situation of Sun Quan.
However, Zhuge Jin did not give these spies a chance. Although Sun Quan died, Zhuge Jin ordered that it would not be lost, and every day Zhuge Jin and others would still go to Sun Quan's room for a while, and declare to report the military situation to Sun Quan.
Zhuge Jin did this, of course, to calm the morale of the army. Another reason is that Sun Deng has not returned.
Sun Deng was sent by Sun Quan to conquer Yizhou, although the Wu army was strong, but the expedition to Yizhou needed to cross the long strait. The so-called country can't be without a king for a day, Sun Quan is dead, and Sun Deng, who is the eldest son and the crown prince, is not in Shouchun, and the news of Sun Quan's death will definitely cause a fight.
You must know that Sun Quan is not only Sun Deng's son, but now Sun Quan's second son Sun Wei, his third son and grandson, and his fourth son and grandson have all been born, and all three of them are in Jiangdong, and more importantly, the backstage of these three people is much harder than Sun Deng.
Although Sun Deng is the eldest son, he is a concubine, and Sun Deng's mother is not from a good background. Sun Deng's mother was just a singer back then, and Sun Quan got Sun Deng after he was drunk. And Sun Deng's biological mother didn't even have the opportunity to raise Sun Deng because of her low status, and Sun Deng was raised by the Xu family since he was a child. In comparison, the mothers of Sun Quan's other sons have the status of concubines.
So Zhuge Jin didn't dare to mourn, Zhuge Jin had to wait until Sun Deng came back before he could mourn for Sun Quan, otherwise, this internal power struggle would probably ruin Jiangdong.
β¦β¦
Sun Quan withdrew to Shouchun, Cao Zhen immediately divided his troops to support Sima Yi, and 6 Xun rushed to Shouchun City, and Jingzhou was handed over to LΓΌ Dai to manage. Today's Lu Dai is over sixty years old, and his ability is indeed inferior to 6, so he can only hold Jingzhou, and he is unable to continue to put pressure on Sima Yi.
As soon as the two roads in Jiangdong stopped, Adou's side could not continue to attack. Without the containment of Eastern Wu, Adou was not a wise choice to fight against the Wei army alone, and now that Adou had won Luoyang and obtained a springboard to attack Wei, he was also satisfied.
As a result, the three kingdoms unanimously ceased to be armistic, and the Central Plains ushered in a brief period of peace.
β¦β¦
Sun Deng was recalled from Yizhou, Zhuge Jin dared to mourn for Sun Quan, and then with the support of Zhuge Jin, 6 Xun, Gu Yong and others, Sun Deng sat on the throne and became the second emperor of Wu.
Then, the news quickly spread to Chang'an and Yecheng.
