Chapter 172

Sun Ce immediately summoned Zhang Zhao, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu and others, and Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan to his bedside.

Pang Tong was not there because he was out to patrol the counties of Jiangdong and supervise officials in various places.

Sun Ce instructed: "Now that the world is in turmoil, with Wu Yue's army and Jiangdong's persistence, we can make a difference." Everyone, please do your best to help my brother Quan'er. ”

So Sun Ce gave the seal ribbon, and then Sun Quan said: "If you lead the men and horses of Jiangdong to fight between the two battles and compete for the world, you are not as good as me; Be virtuous and capable, so that everyone will do their best to defend Jiangdong, I am not as good as you. You should think of the difficulties of your father and brother starting a business, and think about it! “

Sun Quan cried and worshiped the seal.

Sun Ce said to Wu Guotai: "I'm afraid that the child's life has come to an end, and he will not be able to serve his mother from now on." Now he gives the ribbon to his younger brother, hoping that his mother can supervise Quan'er all day. Father and brother's old department, don't despise and slack. ”

Wu Guotai cried and said, "I'm afraid that your brother is still young and can't take on big things, what should I do when the time comes?" ”

Sun Ce said: "My younger brother is ten times better than my son, and he can take on heavy responsibilities. However, if the internal matter is undecided, you can ask Zhang Zhao; If you are undecided on foreign affairs, you can ask Pang Tong. I only hate that Mr. Pang Tong is not here now, and I can't tell him in person! ”

He also told his brothers to instruct, "After I die, you will assist Zhongmou together." If there is someone in the family who dares to have a different heart, everyone will kill him together; Flesh and blood are regarded as rebellion and are not allowed to be buried in ancestral graves. Sun Ce's younger brothers cried as they accepted the order.

He also told his wife, Mrs. Qiao, to say to her, "You and I are unfortunately separated halfway, and you must be filial to your aunt." Please tell Mr. Pang Tong that he will assist my brother wholeheartedly, and not let down the righteousness of me and his sympathy. With that, he closed his eyes and died. He was only twenty-six years old.

Later generations have a poem to praise and say: "Fighting alone in the southeast, people are called little overlords." Strategizing is like a tiger, and decision-making is like an eagle. Weizhen Sanjiangjing, famous all over the world. The major event of his deathbed belongs to the phoenix. ”

After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan cried and collapsed in front of his bed. Zhang Zhao said: "This is not the time for you to cry. One side should manage the funeral, and the other should deal with military affairs. Sun Quan then burst into tears." Zhang Zhao ordered Sun Jing to comprehend the funeral, and asked Sun Quan to come out of the court, and the audience of civil and military officials to congratulate him. Sun Quan captured alive with a square chin and a big mouth, blue eyes and purple hair. Once upon a time, Liu Jiangwan, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, entered Wu, saw the brothers of the Sun family, and said to people: "I have seen all the Sun brothers, although they are all talented, but they are all different. Only Zhongmou's appearance is wonderful, his bones are very, so he has a noble watch and enjoys a long life, and everyone can't get it. "Antiquity

Besides, at that time, Sun Quan inherited Sun Ce's will and was responsible for the affairs of Jiangdong.

Various matters have not yet been decided, and it is reported that Pang Tong has returned from Baqiu.

Sun Quan said: "Mr. Pang Tong is back, so I don't have to worry." “

Pang Tong went to inspect various places, and suddenly heard that Sun Ce was dead, so he came to mourn overnight.

At that moment, Pang Tong cried and worshiped in front of Sun Ce's coffin.

Mrs. Wu came out and told Pang Tong in the words of Sun Ce's will, and Pang Tong knelt on the ground and said: "I dare not follow the work of dogs and horses, and then die!" ”

After a while, Sun Quan came in. After Pang Tong finished the visit, Sun Quan said: "I hope you don't forget the will of your first brother." ”

Pang Tong kowtowed and said, "I am willing to use my liver and brain to repay the kindness of my confidant." ”

Sun Quan said: "Now that I inherit my father's and brother's profession, what method will I use?" ”

Pang Tong said: "Since ancient times, those who have people have prospered, and those who have lost talents will perish." For today's plan, it is necessary to find a person with great foresight as a supplement, and then Jiangdong will use Jiangdong's troops to crusade against Liu Xuan, in order to unify Jiangdong. ”

Sun Quan said: "Brother, his last words said: The internal affairs are entrusted to Lord Zhang Zhao, and the external affairs are all up to Mr. Pang Tong." ”

Pang Tong said: "Zibu is a virtuous person, and he can take on important responsibilities. I'm not talented, I'm afraid I'm relying on a lot of trust, please recommend someone to assist the general. “

Sun Quanquan hurriedly asked someone. Zhou Yu said: "This person's surname is Lu, his name is Su, his name is respectful, and he is a native of Linhuai Dongchuan. This man has a strategic heart and a secret plan in his belly. He lost his father at an early age and served his mother with filial piety. Their family was very wealthy and used to distribute money to help the poor. When Pang Tong was the magistrate of Juchao County, hundreds of people passed through Linhuai, because of the lack of food, and when he heard that Lu Su's family had two warehouses of rice, each of which was 3,000 yuan, he went to ask for help. Lu Su pointed to a hardship and gave it to you, and his generosity was so much. He usually likes to ride a sword and shoot arrows, and lives in Qu'a. My grandmother died and was buried in the east of the city. His friend Liu Ziyang wanted to ask him to go to Chaohu to join Zheng Bao, but Lu Su was still hesitant. Now you can quickly recall him. “

Sun Quan was greatly surprised, so he asked Zhou Yu to visit.

Pang Tong was ordered to go in person, saw the completion of the Su Xu, and explained in detail Sun Quan's admiration.

Lu Su said: "Recently, Liu Ziyang asked me to go to Chaohu Lake with me, and I will go with me." ”

Pang Tong said: "In the past, Ma Yuan said to Emperor Guangwu: In today's world, not only do you choose me, but I also choose you. Now General Sun is a virtuous and virtuous person, and he accepts strange records, which are rare in the world. You don't need to think about anything else, just go with me to Wu Guo. ”

Lu Su listened to him, so he came to see Sun Quan with Pang Tong.

Sun Quan respected him very much, talked with him tirelessly, and worked tirelessly all day long.

One day, all the officials dispersed, and Sun Quan left Lu Su to drink together, and slept to his feet in the same bed at night. In the middle of the night, Sun Quan asked Lu Su and said: "Now that the Han Dynasty is leaning, the Quartet is in chaos; I inherited my father's and brother's inheritance, and I want to achieve the hegemony of Duke Qi Huan and Duke Wen of Jin, so please teach me? ”

Lu Su said: "For example, today, although the Luoyang Imperial Court is still there, Yang Su and Yang Lin are also known to be talented, but now the majesty of the Han family is gone, Xue Rengui, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others are divided into the Central Plains, Liu Bei and Lu Bu are also intriguing in Xuzhou, and Gongsun Zan in the north is also known to be unsubordinate, and Ma Teng in the northwest is safe, but it is because Xiliang Su is less talented, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou is rich, and I see that the life of the Han Dynasty will not be long." How can the lord only think about becoming the Duke of Qi Huan and the Duke of Jin Wen? I privately think that the Han Dynasty will not be revived, and for the sake of the generals, there is only a chance to see the world in Jiangdong. Now taking advantage of the fact that there are many rebellions in the north, now the lord should get rid of Liu Xuan, march to attack Liu Biao, and lead the Yangtze River valley and defend all of them; Then establish the name of the emperor in order to seek the world: this is the great cause of Gaozu. ”

Sun Quan was very happy to hear this, put on his clothes and stood up to salute Lu Su. The next day, he gave Lu Su a generous gift, and gave clothes and curtains and other items to his serious mother.

Lu Su also recommended another person to see Sun Quan: this person is erudite and talented, and he serves his mother with filial piety; The compound surname is Zhuge , called Jin, the word Ziyu, and the name of Langya Nanyang. Sun Quan appointed him as a guest.

Zhang Zhao recommended another person to Sun Quan: this person's surname is Gu, his name is Yong, the character Yuan sighs, and he is taught by Zhonglang Cai Yong and others; He speaks little, doesn't drink, and is stern and upright.

Sun Quan was appointed as the county governor and acted as the agent of Taishou affairs.

Since then, Sun Authority has shook Jiangdong and won the hearts of the people.

Pang Tong was ordered to rectify the Jiangdong soldiers and was ready to send troops to conquer Liu Xuan.

The battle in the north was also in full swing, and when Gongsun Chan defeated Yan Liang, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were also inextricably fighting.

Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan to guard Guandu.

Besides, Yuan Shaoxing soldiers looked at Guandu and marched. Xiahou Yuan sent a letter to report urgency.

Cao Cao raised an army of 70,000 men and went to meet the enemy, leaving Cao Ren to defend the part of Jizhou County he had just captured, although Cao Ren was both wise and brave, and it was likely to play a great role when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were fighting. However, Cao Cao's Hanoi County and Hongnong County, which Cao Cao relied on before, have been recovered by Yang Lin, Yang Su and others in the Luoyang Imperial Court, and now part of the land in Jizhou is already Cao Cao's base camp, Cao Cao can only fight against the water, and can only hand over his rear to a trustworthy general, and Cao Cao knows that Cao Ren is good at guarding, so he is naturally relieved to hand over his back to him

As soon as Yuan Shao's army set off, Tian Feng wrote and said: "Now that General Yan Liang has been newly defeated, trapped by the realm, and has taken refuge in General Xue, and the lord has just won Yuzhou, now he should wait for the time, and not raise troops in vain, I am afraid that there will be disadvantages." “

Feng Ji framed and said: "The lord is a benevolent and righteous army, how can Tian Feng say such unlucky words!" ”

Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to kill Tian Feng and the officials were dismissed, so Yuan Shao had to send Tian Feng to prison.

Yuan Shao said hatefully: "When I defeat Cao Cao, I will condemn him again!" ”

So he urged the army to set off, with flags all over the field, and swords like a forest. Walk to Yangwu and set the fence.

Fu Zhu said: "Although there are many of our army, they are brave and invincible to Cao's army; Although the enemy army is fine, it is not as abundant as our army. If the army is short of food, it should be solved quickly; Our army has food, and it should be held for the time being. If time can be delayed, then Cao's army will be defeated without a fight. ”

Yuan Shao was furious and said: "Tian Feng despises our army and disturbs the morale of the army, when I defeat Cao Cao, I must kill him when I come back." How dare you do this again! The people around the drink order said: "Will be locked in the army, and after I break Cao, he and Tian Feng will be punished!" “

So he ordered an army of more than 100,000 to camp around for more than ten miles.

Cao Jun carefully explored the truth and returned to Guandu. Cao Jun had just arrived, and he was very scared when he heard it.

Cao Cao consulted with everyone.

Guo Jia said: "Although Yuan Shao's army is numerous, it is not a matter of concern. All of our troops are elite soldiers, and there is not a single one who is not ten. As long as we fight quickly, Yuan's army will inevitably be defeated. If you delay and run out of food, things are worth worrying about. “

Cao Cao said: "What Feng Xiao said is exactly what I want. “

So the troops were ordered to march with drums.

Yuan Shao's army came to greet him, lined up on both sides. 10,000 crossbowmen were allocated and ambushed on both wings; Five thousand archers, lying in ambush inside the door flag: the cannon was fired. At the end of the three-way drum, Yuan Shaojin helmet and armor, brocade robe and jade belt, before establishing a horse formation.

Yuan Shao is lined up on the left and right sides of Zhang Dingbian, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Chun Yuqiong and other generals. Flag Festival.
