Chapter 114: The Ephemera's Rest

By the time Sun Ce's guards had killed the assassins who had stood in their way and found him, Sun Ce was already lying unconscious on the ground, but still breathing. The guards hurriedly brought Sun Ce back to the barracks, recruited military doctors, and sent the generals.

Outside Sun Ce's military tent, Han Dang, Dong Xi and Lu Fan stood silently, and Sun Quan sat on the ground with a pale face and looked up at Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, obviously he had just arrived in the barracks, Sun Ce was carried back to the barracks for a moment to wake up and let the guards inform Zhang Zhao, and then fell into a coma again. Up to now, Sun Ce has been in a coma for three days and three nights, and Zhang Zhao received the news and hurried to the Dantu to meet Sun Ce.

"How's the lord doing?" Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan, who was dumbfounded, and asked.

"The doctor said my brother's injuries were serious." Sun Quan's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had just cried.

"Has the lord never woken up?" Zhang Zhao asked.

"I haven't woken up." Lu Fan said with a sad face.

Han Dang and the others also sat sadly.

"Is the teacher here?" Sun Ce's weak voice came from the military tent.

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he immediately opened the tent and trotted into the military tent, knelt in front of Sun Ce's bed, took Sun Ce's hand and said, "Lord, it's the old minister who is here." ”

Sun Ce supported his body and wanted to sit up, but he didn't have the strength. Zhang Zhao helped Sun Ce up with tears in his eyes.

"Teacher, I rarely call you that, teacher, this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to." Sun Ce said with a miserable smile, his smile brought up the arrow wound on his face, making his smile look particularly hideous.

"Lord, don't say such things, the old minister will do his best to assist you......"

Zhang Zhao said this, and suddenly couldn't stop his tears anymore and cried bitterly.

"Teacher, I'm running out of time. Give me some time to take care of the aftermath! Teacher, after my death, everything I have will be inherited by Brother Quan, and I will ask the teacher to assist Brother Quan in the future. If Brother Quan is not competent, the teacher will take it himself, and if the situation in Jiangdong is not good after my death, you will lead the people to submit to the Son of Heaven, so it will be good. Sun Ce said with a wry smile.

"The words of the lord, the old minister kept it in his heart, only one thing the old minister could not agree, the old minister thought that Zhongmou had the ability to inherit the position of the lord." Zhang Zhaodao.

Sun Ce nodded and asked Zhang Zhao to call Sun Quan in, then instructed Sun Quan to worship Zhang Zhao as a teacher, and entrusted everything to Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Ce had something to say to Sun Quan in person, so he left the military tent first and guarded at the entrance of the military tent.

"Brother Quan, after I die, I will ask Zhang Zhao if I am undecided on internal affairs, and Zhou Yu if I am undecided on foreign affairs." Sun Ce said.

Sun Quan nodded.

"I didn't expect that I would die in a foreign country like my father, Brother Quan, the Sun family will entrust it to you in the future, you have to ...... Target...... Survive...... Go. ”

Sun Quan wept and nodded.

Sun Ce smiled one last time, then closed his eyes completely.

Sun Quan knelt in front of Sun Ce's bed and looked at Sun Ce's face, probed Sun Ce's snort with his hand, and after making sure that Sun Ce was really dead, he raised his head and shook the tears on his face, and then the corners of his mouth outlined a smile and said softly: "Brother, thank you so much." ”

Lujiang County, Lufu.

Late at night, a young and powerful chant came from the back garden of the Lu Mansion, and Lu Xun was singing a poem from the Book of Songs.

The feathers of the mayflies, the clothes are beautiful. The worries of my heart are where I return.

The wings of the mayfly, picking clothes. The sorrows of my heart are at my mercy.

Mayflies dig and read, and the linen clothes are like snow. The sorrow of my heart is for me.

Guo Jia drank wine and listened to Lu Xun singing poems, Lu Xun sang very sadly, Guo Jia knew that Lu Xun was singing for Sun Ce. Throughout Sun Ce's life, life was as short as a mayfly, and he only lived to the end of twenty-six years old. But Sun Ce's life is very exciting, he has been pursuing the ultimate in life like a mayfly, he has distinct wings, fresh appearance to show off, he knows how to pursue what he thinks in his heart, but his white wings are like the white mourning clothes.

"Little ghost, if you say goodbye today, you may never see each other again, and you will have a happy cooperation." Guo Jia drank his wine and waved his hand slowly towards the wall.

"Then it's going to be indefinite, drunkard." Lu Xun said with a smile.

A masked man jumped off the wall, and the man crouched down in front of Guo Jia, carrying Guo Jia over the wall and disappearing into the darkness.

In Xiangyang City, Ma Hong walked on the streets, sometimes shaking his head and sometimes nodding his head as he walked. When a person is confused, he should walk more on unfamiliar streets, because it is better to be lost than to be confused. Liu Biao did not express his attitude, he did not object to or support Liu Qi's move in Xinye, Liu Biao promised to transfer him 2,000 soldiers and horses and a batch of grain and grass, saying that it was for Liu Qi to guard Nanyang, but only as a town to guard Nanyang. If you want to use these soldiers and horses for conquest, I am afraid that there will be less, but it is better than nothing.

It is not appropriate to say that Liu Biao is a dog guarding the house, because a person who only knows how to guard the family will not send Wu Ju to fight in Jiaozhou and want to obtain the land of Jiaozhou.

Naturally, the soldiers and horses still had to ask Cai Mao for it, and when Ma Hong raised his head slightly and looked at the plaque on the door of Cai's mansion, Zhang Yun was walking out of Cai's mansion. When Zhang Yun looked at Ma Hong, Ma Hong's eyes shifted from the plaque on the mansion to Zhang Yun's body, and then saluted Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun didn't know Ma Hong, and thought that he was a junior saluting him, so he nodded and walked in front of Ma Hong and asked, "Why are you standing outside the door?" ”

Ma Hong smiled slightly and said, "Back to General Zhang's words, standing outside the door is naturally about to enter the door." ”

Zhang Yun frowned and said secretly: Isn't this kid talking nonsense? But he patiently asked, "Do you know me?" But we don't think we've met! ”

"Yes, in Ma Hong, Xia Yi City, I have seen General Zhang." Ma Hong said this and saluted Zhang Yun again.

Zhang Yun hurriedly replied: "It turned out to be Ma Juncheng, it's really disrespectful." ”

Ma Hong and Zhang Yun greeted each other for a while and then entered Cai's mansion to see Cai Mao, and when Ma Hong saw Cai Mao, he went straight to the point and handed over Liu Biao's transfer document to Cai Mao.

Cai Mao happily signed her name on the official document, and went to the Xiangyang patrol camp with Ma Hong to transfer soldiers to Ma Hong.

This time, the soldiers that Cai Mao transferred to Ma Hong were not old and weak soldiers like last time, but elite soldiers, and these two thousand soldiers were led by Marshal Wen and lined up on the martial arts field. Wen Ping's face was not very good after seeing the transfer order, but the soldiers he had worked so hard to train were going to be handed over to others, which would inevitably be unpleasant in anyone's heart.

Ma Hong glanced at Wen Ping, who was standing aside with a displeased face, and said with a smile: "All the soldiers led by General Wen are full of energy, and if such a soldier goes into battle to kill the enemy, it must be a strong combat force."

"It's over." Wen Ping said with a calm face.

"I see that General Wen attaches great importance to the soldiers he trains, so is General Wen willing to continue to lead this army?" Ma Hong said with a smile.

Wen Ping looked at Ma Hong with some surprise and didn't speak. Cai Mao's heart chuckled, in fact, Cai Mao also intended to send a henchman to Xinye, and the henchman he was going to arrange was Wenpin. It's just that he Cai Mao hasn't opened his mouth yet, but Ma Hong opened his mouth first, and what he was thinking in his heart was penetrated at a glance, this feeling is very uncomfortable, whether to agree or disagree, Cai Mao was a little hesitant.

"What, is it that General Wen doesn't want to go to the border land to make a contribution, or is General Cai reluctant?" Ma Hong smiled and saw Cai Mao's face from Wen Ping's face.

Wen Ping didn't talk, just waited for Cai Mao to speak, because Cai Mao was his direct superior.

Cai Mao quickly made up his mind and said: "I also want Wen Ping to hone and hone my training, and I will ask General Ma to take care of Wen Ping in the future."

Ma Hong smiled slightly: "General Cai said that he was joking, but he needs to ask General Wen for advice."

Cai Mao smiled and patted Wen Ping's shoulder and said, "Thank you Ma Juncheng for giving you the opportunity."

Wen Ping knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute to Ma Hong and said, "Wen Ping has thanked you."

Ma Hong smiled and helped Wen Ping. The muscles in the corners of Cai Mao's eyes, who were standing next to Ma Hong, collapsed very tightly, and he kept looking at Ma Hong's expression, but he couldn't see the slightest detail from Ma Hong's face that could be used to judge right and wrong.

"It's not early, the lord has to hold a banquet tonight, General Wen hurriedly took off his armor and changed his clothes to go to the banquet." Ma Hong said with a smile.

"Yes, then retire first." Wen Ping saluted Ma Hong and Cai Mao respectively and left.
