Chapter 121: Sun Ce's Death (2)
Sun Ce saw that Sun Quan tried his best to refuse, not as if he was fake, and felt a little comforted in his heart, but he knew Sun Quan very well, although he now gave up the seal ribbon under the emotional impulse, but after this feeling faded in the future, he would definitely not be willing to endure it, plus this person has always been good at entrapping people, and it will definitely cause civil strife in Jiangdong in the future, and I am afraid that his brothers and nephews will suffer a catastrophe at that time, so it is better to give up the seat directly to him now.
What's more, although the third brother Sun Yi is more like his father and himself, brave and strong, but now is not the time to create a foundation, the biggest problem now is to keep this foundation, and in this regard, Sun Quan, who can unite all civil and military forces, is good at discovering talents, is good at governance, and can endure humiliation is the best candidate, and among the brothers, he is the only one who can take on this responsibility and compete with Liu Qi in Jingzhou.
Therefore, Sun Ce insisted on giving the seal ribbon to Sun Quan, and shouted in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to push back, you have to remember that what you are carrying on your shoulders is a heavy responsibility, as the lord of Jiangdong, you should take this responsibility, keep the foundation of your father and brother, and dominate the princes, especially don't forget Liu Qi'er, it is their father and son who blocked the path of my father and me's growth, if you really want to make me feel at ease, one day you will capture and kill Master Liu, and send their heads to the grave of my father and me to pay respects, even if I am under Jiuquan." , can also be blinded. In the future, if there is any internal matter undecided, you can ask Zhang Zhao, and if you are undecided on foreign affairs, you can ask Zhou Yu. ”
After that, Sun Ce called in the three brothers Sun Yi, Sun Kuang, and Sun Lang, and the five brothers Sun Ben, Sun Wei, Sun Yu, Sun Jiao, Sun Huan, Sun Qian and his sister Shang Xiang, and solemnly asked: "After my death, you and others will assist Zhongmou, and those who dare to have different intentions in the clan will be punished together, and their flesh and blood will be rebellious, and they will not be buried in the ancestral tomb." ”
Later, Sun Ce said to Sun Quan: "My brother will definitely perform filial piety to my mother on my behalf in the future." Mother, please forgive the child for being unfilial, one step ahead, good wife, please forgive me for not being able to accompany me, and the responsibility of honoring my aunt and raising Shao'er will be handed over to you in the future. ”
After finishing speaking, Sun Ce ordered someone to write a letter to Zhou Yu, instructing him to assist Sun Quan wholeheartedly after his death, and not to slack off.
Sun Ce was a heroic, fighting Niu Zhu, according to Qu A, Ba Wu Hui, Ping Hui Ji, swept Jiangdong in just six years, and became the most outstanding representative of the young people of the entire era.
When Sun Quan saw his brother Sun Ce die like this, he couldn't help but mourn in his heart and cried loudly.
He is not hypocritical now, but regrets and grief from the bottom of his heart, if there is no himself, the eldest brother will definitely be able to continue to lead the Jiangdong Qunying to compete with Liu Qi, and now the eldest brother who has been waiting for his great care and love is gone, and it is also related to a stupid decision he made at the beginning.
When all the civil and military personnel and family members in the tent saw Sun Quan like this, they all secretly praised Sun Quan's feelings, even Zhang Zhao, who advocated choosing the successor as Sun Yi, nodded secretly and praised Sun Quan's benevolence and righteousness.
Of course, there is an exception here, this is Xu Yi, a personal captain of Sun Ce, he immediately concluded from Sun Ce's murder that this time Sun Ce's assassination is definitely related to Sun Quan, yesterday Sun Quan returned to Wanling, just brought the fellow he remembered, he found the fellow villager to ask, the friend named Liu Quan who met with him before is okay now, but he saw the fellow hesitated for a while, and then whispered in his ear, Liu Shot has been missing for several days, it seems that the new lord Sun Quan asked him to do something, And he said that there were two other people who went with him, but he did not know these two people from his fellow countrymen.
Until this time, Xu Yi was completely sure that it must be Sun Quan who plotted to assassinate Sun Ce this time, and it was precisely because of his preconceived ideas that Xu Yi saw the hypocrisy and hypocrisy on Sun Quan in front of him, and there was no brotherhood at all, not even a trace of human touch.
Xu Yi watched coldly, watching Zhang Zhao persuade Sun Quan to take care of the overall situation, and first find a way to stabilize the situation.
Seeing that Sun Quan pushed and was blamed by Zhang Zhaozheng, he had no choice but to agree to the throne, and submitted a letter to the imperial court, asking to inherit the position of General Sun Ce Anton, and ask for the Huiji Taishou, and at the same time asked to pass the title of Marquis of Wu to his nephew Sun Shao.
After a little discussion, Sun Quan sent an envoy Kan Ze to Xuchang to meet Cao Cao, expressing his willingness to surrender and accepting his younger brother Sun Lang as a hostage.
The look in Xu Yi's eyes was even colder, he knew that Sun Quan was now firmly the lord of Jiangdong, even if someone exposed his conspiracy to assassinate Sun Ce, for the sake of stabilizing the overall situation of Jiangdong, the exposer would definitely have to be wiped out, so Sun Ce's unjust case could only be revealed.
If it was according to the original history, Xu Yi had no hope of overturning the case for Sun Ce at all, and in desperation, he only had two endings: resignation or suicide, but now it is different, he received Liu Qi's favor on the battlefield before and spared his life, and now he feels that the man should have a great possibility to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for his master.
So Xu Yi thought about it, but still felt that he should go to Liu Qi.
Sun Ce was assassinated, and Sun Quan inherited power, which had a heavy impact on the whole world.
Cao Cao smiled, because he also heard that not long ago Sun Ce promised Yuan Shao, ready to attack himself, sneak attack Xuchang, and was scolding Sun Ce for being capricious, but suddenly heard the news of Sun Ce's death and Sun Quan's succession from Kan Ze, the messenger sent by Sun Quan, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, because Sun Quan had promised to submit to himself, and promised to ally with himself to deal with Liu Biao and Liu Qi's father and son, in order to show his sincerity, he even offered to take his brother Sun Lang as a hostage.
Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the Son of Heaven to make Sun Quan the general of Andong, the Marquis of Wanling, and the Taishou of Huiji, and the fake festival, so that he could take charge of the power of Jiangdong, and at the same time really approved Zhang Hong's request to return to Jiangdong to assist Sun Quan.
Yuan Shao was furious when he heard this, because he had lost a powerful ally to deal with Cao Cao, and now the only people who could deal with Cao Cao were Liu Biao's father and son in Jingzhou. However, Liu Biao had just lost a large area of land such as Suixian and Anzhong not long ago, although the battle between Lujiang and Zhang Liao on the eastern front was still continuing, but the two sides were evenly matched, and it was difficult to have any hope of winning in a short time, so he was afraid that he would have to deal with Cao Cao alone.
At this time, the strategist Tian Feng said: "At the beginning, Cao Cao led the army to conquer Xuande, and then conquered Zhang Xiu in Qixian County, and the lower officials persuaded the lord to attack Xuchang, but the lord refused to send troops on the grounds that the prince was sick, resulting in a missed opportunity, and now Cao Cao has formed an alliance with Sun Quan and Liu Zhang, and Liu Jingsheng's father and son in Jingzhou are still difficult to protect, how can they help the lord fight Cao Cao? ”
Yuan Shao was embarrassed and angry when he heard this, and reprimanded loudly: "I have more than 100,000 elite soldiers and cavalry, and there are brave generals like Yan Liangwen and Chou, even if I don't need the help of others, I can still defeat Cao Apu." ”
And the strategist Feng Ji took the opportunity to step forward and said: "The lord doesn't need to be angry, in fact, it is not impossible to unite with Liu Qi, and his subordinates have a plan, so that Liu Qi can lead his troops to help fight." ”
"Oh? I don't know what the metamap is going to do? Let's hear it. Yuan Shao saw that it was his trusted strategist who offered a plan, and hurriedly asked.
But I heard Feng Ji smile and said: "My subordinates heard that Liu Qi loves beauty, once after the conquest of Guiyang, he privately accepted Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan's widowed sister-in-law, and later after the conquest of Lujiang, he accepted the second daughter of the Qiao family as a concubine, and now Sun Ce is dead, the situation in Jiangdong is chaotic, and there is no way to threaten Liu Qi, we can offer a beautiful woman to Liu Qi, Liu Qi is greedy for national color, and he will be happy and agree, if Liu Qi sends troops from Lujiang to attack Xuchang, but the lord leads his troops to Henan, Cao Cao will not be defeated? ”
Yuan Shao nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Yuantu is a very good plan, I have a lot of Hebei women, but the amount of the car is also large, this matter will be handled by Yuantu, you can choose some yourself, why do you need to say more about this matter?" When it is done, there will be a great reward. ”
"Lord, this matter must not be hasty, because the subordinates heard that the second bridge of the Lujiang River is full of national colors, and now if they want to envelop Liu Qi, they must be able to compete with them in the color of the country, and the subordinates have found a person, but this person has a special identity and needs to be approved by the lord."
"Oh? It turns out that Yuantu has been prepared for a long time, hehe, if all the civil and military forces under my account do their best like Yuantu, what else do I have to worry about? Tell me, which country color did you choose? Yuan Shao couldn't help but be interested, and continued to say with a smile.
At this time, Feng Ji squinted at Yuan Xi on the side, and then said: "This person is the daughter of the late Wuji County Commander Zhen Yi, and it is the real color of the country, if the lord dedicates this daughter to Liu Qi, then Liu Qi will definitely agree without hesitation." ”
When Yuan Xi on the side heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to worship and said: "Father, the woman surnamed Zhen has also met a few times, and is discussing marriage with her brother Zhen Yao. ”
Feng Ji said sharply: "The second son's words are wrong, and Hugh said that the Zhen family has not been included in the mansion by the son, even if he really becomes the wife of the son, why not sacrifice a woman for the great cause of the prince?" Does the son fancy the great cause of the lord in his heart, or does he fancy a mere woman? ”
Yuan Xi saw that Yuan Shao's complexion also changed, and he couldn't help but be shocked, he knew that his father didn't like him the most among the three brothers, if he refused Feng Ji's plan for a woman now, it was estimated that he would not be able to eat and walk away in the future, he couldn't help but look at Feng Ji with hatred, and said secretly: "You dog thief is attached to your master Yuan Shang, just because I have a good relationship with my eldest brother, you want to take away my love Ji and take revenge on me. ”
