On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

The weather in Jiangdong has completely entered spring, the temperature is warming rapidly, everything is recovering, and flowers are blooming, which was originally a good day for an outing to step into spring, but now, under a strong spring, it makes people feel a touch of nervousness.

The news of the death of the Son of Heaven has just spread all over the world, making the land of Jiangdong tremble, and then with the county guards, the ministers of the feudal territory, and the soldiers and horses will be recalled to Wu County by Sun Jian to discuss what to do.

This move made everyone look forward to it up and down in Jiangdong, and the atmosphere began to become very tense.

Anyone with a little vision knows that when the Son of Heaven dies, the Han Dynasty will be gone, and where Jiangdong will go in the future is all about their own interests.

Over the years, under the rule of Wu Hou Sun Jian, Jiangdong has been getting better and better day by day, and the people are naturally satisfied, and the people are satisfied, and the people's will will naturally be desired.

All the people in the entire Jiangdong are now staring at Wu Hou Sun Jian, waiting for his decision.

……

On this day, in Wu County, in the Sun family's mansion, there was a rare time when people gathered, and the family had a peaceful dinner.

The Sun family is not big, nor small, in recent years, the population has increased a lot, Sun Jian has accepted two more concubines, and the addition of three men and two women is compared to Sun Jian's early death in history, and today's Sun family is a lot more popular.

At night, Sun Ce and Sun Quan are there, and the third Sun Yi is also there, this long tiger and tiger young man, his body is already taller than Sun Quan, after the cultivation of the martial arts hall and the baptism of the Jiaozhou battlefield, the young man who seemed to be cowering in the bloody battle in Wu County in the past now has a touch of youthful and old temperament.

"Tonight, a few of you have grown up, and now you are in shape, I guess you also know in your hearts that it is related to the future of the Sun family, you can also express your thoughts, now the general's mansion is arguing every day, and I really can't make up my mind for my father, Bo Fu, you can tell me first, what do you think of the death of the Son of Heaven?"

After dinner, Sun Jian sat on the top of the hall with a pair of tiger eyes staring sharply at the three sons who had grown up and began to participate in Jiangdong government affairs, and asked.

Although Sun Yi is still young, it is nothing compared to when Sun Quan participated in the Tiger Prison Pass at the age of ten, and now it can be regarded as gradually growing.

"Father, if there is chaos today, the princes of all parties are ready to move, the Son of Heaven is dead, and there is no owner in the world, it may be a great opportunity for us in Jiangdong."

Sun Ce's eyes burst out with a gleam, and he said loudly: "We, Jiangdong, should be self-reliant!" ”

"Zhongmou, what do you mean?"

"I agree with the big brother, it's time for Koto to stand on his own." Sun Quan's face was calm, and he responded.

"Third child, do you think so too?"

Sun Jian's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes looked at the youngest third Sun Yi, and asked.

"Father, the child thinks that if there is a strange balance formed today, if which one comes out first, which one will provoke the anger of the crowd and be attacked by the crowd." Sun Yi glanced at the two brothers, and was worried for a moment before he whispered: "The child thinks that Jiangdong should endure it now!" ”

"Forbearance? Fart, with the strength of our Jiangdong now, territory, do you need to endure it? Sun Ce looked at the third brother and said loudly: "Third brother, Jiangdong is in control, be brave and take it directly!" ”

"Big brother, everything is justified, if we want to be self-reliant, there is no reason!" Sun Yi gritted his teeth, raised his courage, showed himself well in front of his father, refuted Sun Ce's words, and said: "In this way, won't our Jiangdong become a stream of rebels!" ”

"The Han Dynasty is gone, where are the traitors!" Sun Ce glared angrily and said, "Jiangdong is in accordance with the mandate of heaven, self-reliant for the people, and self-governing among them, why can't it?" ”

"Okay, you two are reasonable, don't argue!"

When Sun Jian heard this, he buzzed, he had stopped arguing like this for a day in the General's Mansion today, he shook his head, stretched out his hands, and rubbed his temples, he felt a headache, whether it was at home or in the General's Mansion, now they were arguing about whether to go further or wait for the opportunity.

"Father, don't be angry, worry about your body."

Sun Quan hurriedly walked up, stretched out his slender fingers, gently rubbed the temple position of Sun Jian's brain, and said with a smile: "Father, you are the master of Jiangdong, this decision is still up to you, no matter how you decide, Jiangdong will be the first to look forward, and there is no disobedience!" ”

"We will obey my father's orders, and we will not dare to disobey in the slightest!"

When Sun Ce and Sun Yi heard this, they immediately bowed down and said.

"Alas, it is because this decision is too heavy, one thought is a dragon, the other is a worm, and there is really no choice for the father, so I want to ask for your opinion."

Sun Jian sighed slightly, this is an opportunity, or it may be a trap that will never recover, he must be cautious, his eyes suddenly stared at Sun Quan, and he groaned, and said: "Zhongmou, today in the General's Mansion, you want to say nothing three or four times, I know that you have your own thoughts, and you didn't say it directly, now it's all your own family, tell me what you think in your heart!" ”

"Really have to say!" Sun Quan's eyes lit up slightly, he didn't say anything, but he didn't make up his mind completely.

"Say!"

"Then the boy will be blunt."

Sun Quan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and finally had a touch of decisiveness in his heart, he stood up and said loudly: "Father, from the Yellow Turban Uprising back then, the chaos of the Han Dynasty for more than ten years has already made people feel that it is ** wooden, and the heritage of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years has also been consumed in the hearts of the people bit by bit in these ten years.

In this world, it should be time to change to a new master, such as today's death, it is the best opportunity, anyone who has enough courage to stand up, will get a certain amount of popular support, naturally, there are good and bad, this person will also suffer from the fierce attack of the princes of all sides. ”

"Jiangdong has enough strength, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, based on the six groups of Jiangdong, Jiaozhou, Pingzhou, Yizhou, are all under our jurisdiction, nearly 10 million people, but we want to unify the world, the strength is still insufficient, so we must let the people of the world see the courage of Jiangdong, let the people of the world see the pride of Jiangdong, we must be the first to ban the princes of the Han Dynasty.

This time, Jiangdong will not only have to stand on its own, but also climb to the sky in one step and directly establish the country. ”

Sun Quan's words were heavy, but they were strong and powerful, and they spoke fiercely.

"Founding a country?"

Sun Jian's pupils suddenly contracted, he had thought about self-reliance, but he hadn't thought of such a distant country, after all, self-reliance is one thing, and building a country is another.

Once Jiangdong really establishes a state, it is equivalent to rebelling against the Han Dynasty, which is no different from the Yellow Turban Rebellion of that year, I am afraid that Jiangdong will immediately become the enemy of the princes of the world.

"Zhongmou, at this time, we are a little too fast!" Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan, his eyes narrowed slightly, he has always been brave and enterprising, and Sun Quan belongs to the faction of consolidating territory, he has always been heavy, but he didn't expect that this time, he would be even more aggressive than him.

"Either don't do it, or do it absolutely, in one step, it is to show Jiangdong's courage, just like the big brother you said, since we Jiangdong have strength, why should we endure, even if the princes of the world come to attack us, are we Jiangdong afraid?" Sun Quan said.

"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid." Sun Ce shook his head and said: "Jiangdong's strength is not enough to win the world, but it is enough to protect itself, and the Yangtze River is dangerous, with the Jiangdong Navy, millions of soldiers and horses can't beat it." ”

"Four hundred years ago, in the face of the rule of Qiang Qin, the overlord of Western Chu had to have the courage to rise up, and now we are facing a big Han who does not exist in name only, why not establish a country and self-government!"

Sun Quan's eyes were blank, and he said loudly: "On top of a certain Cheng dù, if Jiangdong is the first to establish a country, it will not only give people an illusion, Jiangdong is the country that succeeds the Great Han Dynasty, but it is also equivalent to the luck of the Great Han Dynasty." ”

"Founding a nation! Founding! Founding! ”

Sun Jian's tiger eyes burst out with a fierce light, and a ray of hope crossed his expression, Sun Quan was right, the Han Dynasty was completely gone, why didn't Jiangdong simply establish a country?

Once the kingdom is established, he is king!

Up to now, even the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is not there, if he wants to rule Jiangdong in the skin of the Han Dynasty, he is really a little unwilling in his heart.

————————

The next day, the morning light was like a piece of gold scattered in the General's Mansion.

In the spacious hall of the Zhengdong General's Mansion, the burly figure of the lord Sun Jian sat in the first place peacefully, like a majestic mountain, under the hall, there were a total of four columns on the left and right, row by row, and the people sitting were the high-level of Jiangdong.

Today, 80 percent of the top leaders of Jiangdong's government are among the hundreds of people, and it can be said that a group of heroes are gathered and flourishing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Benhou asked you to return to Jiangdong, just one thing, now that Benhou has decided, since the Han Dynasty is gone, we Jiangdong should frankly admit our ambitions, Jiangdong is a country, and I will ask you and others, is it feasible?" Sun Quan's words made Sun Jian think about it all night, and he finally had a decision.

Once the decision was made, the action immediately became vigorous.

"Jiangdong wants to establish a country?"

Everyone's eyes widened, and even Zhang Zhao, a confidant, did not receive Sun Jian's idea in advance, and they all became stunned, and then they suddenly fried the pot, and the whole hall was talking.

"A certain family agrees with the practice of the lord, Jiangdong should establish a country!"

The first one to come out in favor of this was the army's second-in-command, the peerless general Pan Feng, as soon as he spoke out, he immediately responded to Sun Jian's momentum and suppressed the audience.

"I'll agree!"

"The establishment of Jiangdong is a good thing for the people of Jiangdong, and the subordinates swear to protect it!"

"The Han Dynasty has long existed in name only, Jiangdong is under the rule of Wu Hou, thriving, and the country is autonomous, it deserves it!"

After Pan Feng stood up, several generals in the army, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, and others, stood up one by one to express the wishes of the Jiangdong Army, and finally Tai Shici also stood up, and the cousin agreed.

However, in the lobby, there are still many people who stand up against it.

"Lord, think twice about this!"

"If we establish a country in Jiangdong, it will be tantamount to a naked rebellion against the Han Dynasty, which will definitely bring infinite military disasters to the Han Dynasty, which is not advisable!"

"If the name is not right, how can Jiangdong be a country!"

"The shape of the world is not yet clear, if Jiangdong takes the lead in establishing a country, it will inevitably bear a bad name, this matter is not appropriate!"

After all, the Han Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for hundreds of years, and it is an unimaginable thing for scholars to replace it.

But in the lobby, more ministers remained silent.

In this matter, they actually didn't think about it.

At the end of the day's meeting, the forces of agreement and opposition were on par, and the silence was still silent, and there was still no definite answer, but out of the high-level of the General's Mansion, Sun Jian's thoughts were now understood by all of them.

Therefore, whether they are against or agree, after walking out of the door, their hearts are much more steady, and they will not be as empty as before.

When night came, the General's Mansion was still lively, and more than a dozen of the most important decision-makers were left behind by Sun Jian to continue the discussion.

"Zibu, Gongjin, don't you two agree with the establishment of Jiangdong?" Sun Jian looked at Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu and said.

"Lord, it's not that we disagree, if Jiangdong is established now, it seems to be very risky, but it is feasible, because of Jiangdong's geographical advantages, we will take the Yangtze River, and no one can help us." Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said.

"Jiangdong established the country, I also agree, but the lord's decision is a bit too hasty, we can wait until someone establishes the country, there is no need to make such an enemy!" Zhang Zhao said calmly.

"This is different, Jiangdong is the first to oppose Han, it is indeed risky, but it can also make Jiangdong justifiable, and in the future battles, we will have more confidence." Sun Jian said firmly: "We can't affect the future of Jiangdong under the pressure of now, I firmly believe that Jiangdong will be able to unify the world in the future." ”

"My lord, in fact, when we founded the country, we could also pull some people and use them to share the pressure we are facing!" Zhou Yu mentioned the Tao of yì.

"What do you mean!" Sun Jian's eyes lit up slightly.

"It's not just us who think so, don't Gongsun Zan want to establish a country, Yuan Shao doesn't want to establish a country, and Lu Bu doesn't want to establish a country?" The corners of Zhou Yu's mouth outlined a shrewd smile, and said, "We can send envoys to discuss with a few of them, and our major princes will establish a country at the same time." ”

"Founding a nation at the same time?" Several people's eyes moved slightly, and there were some abnormal movements, but Zhang Hong gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Then aren't we wasting our efforts in vain, what the lord said, the first to establish a country, will have a different meaning." ”

"When we discussed, it was natural to establish the country at the same time, but we advanced the time of Jiangdong's founding by three days, anyway, these shady things must be a verbal agreement, so no one will track it down."

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and said: "When the time comes, we will suddenly establish the country ahead of schedule, which will definitely make them chaotic, but they have no way back, so they can only follow Jiangdong's footsteps, which can not only let him share our pressure, but also will not damage our interests." ”

"Haha, Gongjin, you think too well, don't pit them!" Sun Jian looked at Zhou Yu and said with a smile: "This matter will be handed over to you with full responsibility." ”

"No!" Zhou Yu nodded.

"Father, if we want to establish a country in Jiangdong, we still need to do one more thing!" Sun Quan suddenly stood up and arched his hand.

"What?" Sun Jian asked,

"We want to get it back in the name of the right, the heirloom jade seal that was once sent out of our hands!" Sun Quan's eyes widened, and he said loudly.

"What do you mean, Jiangdong sent troops to fight Jiujiang Yuanshu!"

Sun Jian squinted.

"The Son of Heaven is dead, and there is only one orthodoxy in the world, the jade seal of the country! Whoever gets the jade seal, who has the qualifications to be justified and become the new lord of the world, now the jade seal of the country is in the hands of Yuan Shu, the world knows, Yuan Shu is already the enemy of the enemy, this fragrant bait, not only we want, Cao Cao wants, Liu Biao wants, even Lu Bu also wants, so we must send troops as soon as possible, otherwise, once the jade seal falls into the hands of others, it will bring trouble to the founding of our Jiangdong! ”

Sun Quan's analysis.

"Father, the child is willing to send troops to Jiujiang and get back the jade seal!" Sun Ce immediately surrendered his hand, and said with awe-inspiring fighting intent.

"Jiujiang must be beaten, but you don't need to fight!"

Sun Jian pondered for a while, nodded, looked at Sun Ce, and said with a deep groan: "Bo Fu, you are the first heir of Jiangdong, Jiangdong established a country, this matter has been decided, to establish a country, there are many affairs, you have to worry about it." ”

"Lord, Wushuang is willing to fight!" Pan Feng immediately said respectfully.

"Wushuang, if Jiangdong is established, there will be more or less turmoil in various places, you are the only general who can control all Jiangdong soldiers and horses except me, you can't leave Wu County." Sun Jian shook his head.

"Father, I'll go!" Sun Quan's heart moved slightly, he could see that Sun Jian's eyes had been looking at him at all, so Sun Jian's plan was to let him go to Jiujiang.

As for why, he himself couldn't figure it out.

"Zhongmou, are you sure?"

Sun Jian smiled with satisfaction, squinted his eyes, and asked.

"Please rest assured that my father is willing to make a military order to promise to bring back the jade seal of the country." Sun Quan said with a firm gaze.

"How many troops do you need to mobilize?"

"Zhongmou wants two naval fleets, and I want 10,000 foot soldiers, and I also want the 10,000 light cavalry that just returned to Jiangdong from Liaodong, and my Hushi is now fighting in Shanyue, give me Baima Yicong and Zhao Zilong." Xingshan thought about it, and asked for more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in one go, which was not much for the conquest of Jiujiang.

Yuan Shu's strength is not low, and when the time comes, it may not just face Yuan Shu, Jiujiang must be a hodgepodge.

"Do you still need it?" Sun Jian asked, if as Sun Quan analyzed, Jiujiang is not only Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, I am afraid that he will face Liu Biao, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, which should not be underestimated.

"No need, now that Jiangdong has established the country, it is estimated that these Jiangdong ministers have spread the word, and there must be enough soldiers and horses to suppress the local opposition forces." Sun Quan shook his head, said calmly, looked back, and glanced at Sun Ce very complicatedly.

Sun Ce's expression was very calm, his eyes were gloomy, looking at Sun Quan's handsome face, there was also a very complicated light crossing.

"As for the military advisor, who do you want to be the military advisor with the army?" Sun Jian asked.

"Father, the military advisor I want is in Jiujiang, and I have to trouble Brother Gongjin to write a letter." Sun Quan thought of a person, his eyes crossed a glint and said.

"Zhongmou, you want Zijing!" Zhou Yu's face moved slightly, his eyes widened, and he said.

"That's right, Lu Su already had the intention of taking refuge in my Jiangdong a few years ago, and the Jinyi Wei spies have observed him many times, this person's talent is extraordinary, Wen Taowu is strategic, all of them are outstanding, and he can be a military advisor!"

Sun Quan squinted his eyes and said.

In the past, Tai Shici escaped from Shouchun, it was Lu Su's help, since when Lu Su has already had a good impression of Jiangdong, these years, he has been looking for an opportunity to take refuge in Jiangdong, but after all, the Lu family is Jiujiang Haoqiang, he has never found a chance, the whole family crossed the river, and it has been delayed until now.

Sun Quan believes that this is a good opportunity, and it should give Lu Su a stage to enter Jiangdong.

————————————————

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and after returning to the Jinyi Guard Yamen, Sun Quan still couldn't understand why Sun Jian would make him the main general.

"Lao Li, why do you say?" Sun Quan looked at this scheming Li Nie and asked.

"Childe, it's actually not hard to guess!"

Li Ne smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the lord thinks that the previous choice is a little sorry for you, so he wants to have a bowl of water now!" ”

"You mean, my father deliberately asked me to fight with my eldest brother!" Sun Quan's eyes widened.

"Childe, before Jiangdong was just a general's mansion, nominally it still belonged to the rule of the Han Dynasty, but now that it is not needed, Jiangdong is a country, the situation is completely different, you had better be mentally prepared." Li Nie knew in his heart that Sun Quan had always avoided confrontation with Sun Ce.

But a mountain does not hide two tigers, unless one male and one female, in a forest, if there are two tiger kings, one will die, this is the immutable law of the ages.
