On the tenth day of the first month, Jinling City.

The cold winter has passed, the early spring is coming, the weather in Jinling City is gradually beginning to warm up, this city known as the Jiangnan Lingxiu, also began to gradually bloom belongs to the breath of spring.

Today's Jinling City, after several years of development, has a resident population of at least about two million, and the city gate that does not close day and night makes the floating population present an astronomical number.

This is one of the most prosperous and majestic cities in the world.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Fuchun.

The third son of the Sun family, the Marquis of Fuchun, Sun Yi's tall body sat in the center of the room, with a solemn expression, his hands on his chest, he looked at the sky in front of him, and his eyes had a complicated light.

Paper can never keep the fire, and under the close gaze of a caring person, even if the strength of Jinyiwei and the three princes of the court is strictly guarded, they can't stop the news from the front line.

This morning, he finally got the news from the front-line family spies.

Sun Jian is dead!

A cold arrow made this Jiangdong Tiger Royal Dragon return to the sky, which was in his expectation and unexpected by him.

As his master Nanhua Immortal said, his father's battle this time was really gone, and when he got the news, there was a trace of sadness in the excitement.

But he didn't have time to grieve at all, for him, this was a good opportunity, and it was also the only chance in his life, and most importantly, he also got a message that Sun Quan was not sick and didn't go out, but that he simply went to the front line.

The biggest enemy in his heart has always been Sun Quan, and Sun Quan actually left Jinling at this time.

If Sun Quan was in Jinling, even if he now had the Western Army in hand and the soldiers of the family who had infiltrated the city to help, he would be a little flustered. It is necessary to arrange it carefully, after all, if you talk about influence and seniority, Sun Quan is always above him.

I have to say that God seems to be helping him.

With the help of heaven, why worry about big things.

This moment. He was excited, forgetting the sad feeling caused by the death of his father, and he was bent on climbing to the supreme throne of Wu.

"Huang Gai, that old guy, don't you want to nod your head until now?" Sun Yi took a deep breath, thought of the Southern Army, turned his head, looked at his henchman Wei Yue, and asked coldly.

In the city of Jinling, the Imperial Forest Army. The southern army camp, the western army camp, the northern army camp, the Quartet strength, more than 100,000 troops, is the town defense force of Jinling.

The Imperial Forest Army and the Northern Army followed Sun Jian's expedition, and now only the Southern Army and the Western Army are still in Jinling City, and the South and West armies are equal. The Southern Army was a combination of cavalry and infantry, and the Western Army was a combination of navy and infantry. The troops are different, but they are all 30,000 elite soldiers.

The commander of the Western Army is Han Dang, but Han Dang's only son, Han Zong, has already fallen under his arrangement, and now he is controlled by him and has become his inner ghost.

It is too easy for a son to calculate his father. So Han Dang was also taken down by him, but he was unwilling to cooperate with him, so he was already under house arrest at home.

The entire Western Army, 30,000 troops, was now under his control. This is one of his confidence in controlling Jinling, if he adds the help of the Wei family and the Yu family, and mixes into the tens of thousands of family soldiers in the city, this force is enough to suppress the entire capital of Wu.

But Huang Gai's Southern Army was always a nuisance.

He knew that he had to take control of the Southern Army.

Because only with all the forces under his control of Jinling, he can coerce Zhang Zhao, Pan Feng, and Zhang Hong to recognize his ascension to the throne, this is a great opportunity, as long as he can forcibly ascend the throne when Jinling City is the emptiest and Sun Ce and Sun Quan are not there, he is the king of Wu.

The rightful king of Wu, even if the two of them lead the front-line army back at that time, it will only be a rebellion.

"Huang Gongfu has been nesting in the Southern Army camp now, three days ago, he has taken his family to the Southern Army camp, staying at home, the whole army is on guard, we can't get in if we want to!"

Wei Yue arched his hand and said analytically: "It seems that he has already gotten some news, so he is guarding the prince's western army!" ”

"Humph!"

Sun Yi snorted coldly and said, "This old guy, he doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin, then don't blame this son for being ruthless!" ”

"The Third Prince!"

Wei Yue's eyes flickered, a complex light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "The strength of the Southern Army is not weak, and its combat effectiveness is still above that of the Western Army, so it should not be underestimated!" ”

"I know!"

Sun Yi stood up, stared at the fresh words blooming outside the window, and the corners of his mouth outlined a touch of coldness, and said: "But if he doesn't surrender, there is a way to deal with him, and now is a great opportunity, I can't wait, pass on two orders!" ”

"No!"

Wei Yue nodded.

"First, let Wei Teng and Yu turn over, within three days, the entire Jinling City will know that the king has been hit by a cold arrow in the front line, and he has returned to the sky!"

"Prince, this will make Jinling a mess!" When Wei Yue heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.

"A certain is to make Jinling City chaotic, and a certain must ascend to the throne before Sun Ce and Sun Quan retreat and return to Jinling!"

Sun Yi stood up, his eyes bloomed with a touch of sharpness, and he said coldly: "As the so-called family can't be without an owner for a day, the country can't be without a king for a day, as soon as the news of the king's return to heaven comes out, people in Jinling City will inevitably be panicked, and within five days, even the entire Wu Kingdom will be shocked by three points, and at this time, the minister of the prison country is actually not there, so he can only let someone come forward to clean up the mess, and a certain can justifiably mobilize troops, eradicate dissidents, and coerce the three princes!" ”

Now that Sun Quan is not in Jinling, he is the prince who succeeds to the throne among Sun Jian's sons, and there are too many things he can do.

"Second, let the 10,000 cavalry of the Changshan Changzheng brothers rush to Jinling City within three days!"

Sun Yi is still a little worried about the southern army, the Chang brothers are his henchmen who recovered when he was in Youzhou, and he has already led 10,000 cavalry to return to Wu County from Youzhou, and has been waiting in Wu County for a long time.

Once they returned to Jinling, the inside and outside should be united, and Huang Gai's southern army would be defeated.

"No!" When Wei Yue heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he nodded quietly.

"By the way, there's one more thing!" Sun Yi's face turned hideous, his eyes showed a gloomy cold glow, and said, "You take people to Donghou Mansion and Jianghou Mansion." Give me all the control! ”

"Prince, do you want to?"

Wei Yue trembled, he didn't expect Sun Yi to be so mad and want to do something to the two marquis' families.

"Just be prepared!" Sun Yi said lightly, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, the two elder brothers, put too much pressure on him, and he had to hold a trump card in his hand. only then did they have the courage to declare war on the two.

——————————————————————————————

When the internal turmoil of Wu was about to be in turmoil, the hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line of the Western Expedition were already in chaos, and the lord of one country and the chief general of the three armies actually died on the battlefield at this time.

This news was not hidden for long at all, and on the seventh day of Sun Jian's first day, the news of the king's death had spread throughout the entire Western Expedition army, and the decisive battle had not yet begun. The king has been killed in battle, as if a heavy blow has blinded the army of the Western Expedition, and the soldiers and horses of the three armies are shaken, and the people are panicked and the army's heart is in turmoil.

At this time, Liu Biao, the king of Chu, suddenly appeared in Chibi, and the Chu army suddenly attacked. Morale is like a rainbow, and there is a full-scale counteroffensive. This made the unstable Wu army finally have to keep retreating, the right army withdrew from Nanjun, the main force of the Chinese army was expelled from the Chibi waters, although the left army took Changsha, but it detonated the civil strife of the three armies, and could only divide the troops to quell the chaos. The troops were all pressed to the south, and they were unable to move north.

All of a sudden, the entire Western Expedition was already in jeopardy, and although the generals in the army suppressed the unrest of the soldiers, many generals could not bear it. They all went on to retire.

Xiling City.

For seven days, Sun Ce and Sun Quan didn't ask anything about the Western Expeditionary Army, but just knelt quietly in the mourning hall and kept vigil for their father for seven days.

During this time, no one dared to disturb them, let alone ask who Sun Jian finally passed the throne to, but the generals of the two factions had a tacit understanding of each other.

As soon as the first seven days passed, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and others couldn't help it, after all, the current situation had reached an extremely dangerous moment for the Western Expedition.

Whether to continue to march or retreat, we must come up with a journey.

5th year of the Warring States period, January 11.

On this day, the main generals of the entire Western Expedition army camp gathered in the lobby of the county guard mansion in Xiling City, sitting left and right.

Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Tai Shici, Zu Mao, Gao Shun, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Chen Gong, Huang Zhong and Xu Shu of the Left Route Army, and the three major generals who now control the Right Route Army, Dong Xi, Chen Wu, and Lü Meng......

The generals of the two Hou Mansions held each other, but Sun Ce was seriously injured and had no backbone, so he could not fight against the generals of the Donghou Mansion at all.

Above the lobby, sitting in the first place is Sun Quan, he is wearing a plain robe, a white scarf tied to his shoulders, his face is cold, and standing beside him is a peerless Donkey Kong Lu Bu.

The ferocity of this world's number one general, even the fierce generals who have practiced their qi at the bottom, do not dare to face each other.

Now that Sun Ce has not recovered from his serious injuries, it is a little difficult to even get out of bed, Sun Quan has taken over the control of the entire Western Expeditionary Army with a tough attitude, with the support of Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and others, and others are helpless.

Sun Quan didn't speak, but he looked at the generals with gloomy eyes, the decisive battle had not yet started, and now the king was shot by Guan Yu under their noses, no matter who was responsible, all the generals lowered their heads and became a little ashamed.

In the silent lobby, the atmosphere seems a little depressing.

"Master Hou, the family can't be without an owner for a day, and the country can't be without a king for a day!"

Pang Tong groaned for a while, was the first to stand up, and said to Sun Quan: "Now that the king has returned to heaven, the morale of the soldiers of the Western Expedition is not there, and the Wu State will inevitably be in chaos, and the minister begs the Hou Ye to stop the Western Expedition, stick to the territory, return to Jinling, and preside over the overall situation of the Wu State!" ”

He is Sun Quan's confidant, born in Donghou Mansion, naturally he has to make careful calculations for Sun Quan, Sun Quan should not appear on the front line at this time, if he does not return to Jinling, he will miss the opportunity to ascend the throne.

Taking advantage of Sun Ce's serious injury, and Jiang Hou's reputation in the army has sunk to the bottom, Sun Quan wants to ascend the throne, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops to help, so it is not too easy.

"The last general begs the Hou Ye to withdraw his troops, return to Jinling, and preside over the overall situation!"

The generals of Sun Quan's family stood up one after another and pleaded.

Although they all want to fight this national battle to the end and take the Chu State in one fell swoop, but now the Wu State has no owner, the dragons have no leader, and they don't even have the backbone, so they will inevitably fall into civil strife.

At that time, it will definitely cause the soldiers in the army to collapse, they may not be able to suppress the lord, this battle can no longer be fought, public and private, they must put Sun Quan on the throne. (To be continued......)
