Chapter 632: Mourning Hall
Wu Jun,
Sun Ce has been "dead" for so long, and no one has been in charge of the aftermath, to be honest, it really shouldn't be. Although there have been memorials in various parts of Koto, there has never been a formal ceremony. There is no way, Mrs. Wu didn't come back, Sun Quan didn't come back, and no one in Jiangdong dared to overstep the host. Including Sun Yi, once he does it, it is equivalent to him claiming to be the head of the family, even if someone has been persuading him for various reasons, Sun Yi, who is still sober, has never taken this step.
now
Mrs. Wu and Sun Quan finally returned, and the mourning hall was set up as soon as possible, so that "Sun Ce" could be buried in peace and accept everyone's worship.
In the mourning hall, Sun Quan was dressed in plain white, sitting solemnly, his expression was as gloomy as possible, well, this was already the most sad gesture he could pose.
Not far from the side, led by Mrs. Wu, a group of female dependents, together with Sun Shangxiang, Sun Kuang and other younger brothers and sisters, the crying was shocking, endless, and they were crying crookedly, and they had been in this state for several hours. Seeing Sun Quan's eyelids jumping, and at the same time he had to admire his mother, Mrs. Wu, as the only one in the know, her grief-stricken appearance made Sun Quan almost can't help but think that his eldest brother Sun Ce is really dead. Sure enough, women are born to be actors, incomparable, incomparable.
Among all the female dependents, Sun Jian's concubine, Mrs. Ding, cried no worse than Mrs. Wu, and those who don't know probably think that Sun Ce was born to her. But in that group of people, there was an outlier that made Sun Quan couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Big Joe!
Da Qiao, who was dressed in white, was the only one sitting upright in the crooked crowd. And unlike other people with tears on their faces, Da Qiao's face did not have the slightest trace of tears, and she did not cry at all from beginning to end.
Although she is dressed in plain clothes, it is difficult to hide her beautiful appearance, and even on this occasion, it adds a poignant attitude that makes people pity. However, those gray and godless eyes made the beautiful Da Qiao look like a soulless puppet.
The heart is like ashes, that's probably what I said. Da Qiao hasn't passed the door yet, but Sun Ce has no wife and no children, because of the momentum of the Sun family, Da Qiao has to appear here as the hostess, it can be said that this is tantamount to sentencing Da Qiao to death in the future. Therefore, knowing that such a performance would be criticized now, Da Qiao didn't have the heart to care so much. Not surprisingly, what awaits her is only the green lantern and the withered Buddha, and the lonely old man will live a lifetime.
Sun Quan sighed secretly, waved his hand lightly, and flew towards Da Qiao without a trace, this technique could not hurt people, but Da Qiao did not have the slightest precaution and preparation, and was directly stunned by Sun Quan. Soon someone exclaimed that Mrs. Qiao had fainted, and Mrs. Wu immediately ordered someone to carry Da Qiao to the back to rest.
"Lord, it's better not to do some superfluous actions."
Behind Sun Quan's side, Zhou Yu reminded in a low voice. Sun Quan's behavior, Zhou Yu was not the only one on the scene who noticed it, and it would not be good if it made people overinterpret. If it is thought that Sun Quan is still interesting to Da Qiao, then Sun Quan's reputation is quite bad, and in the future, Sun Ce will return, and there will be more crazy words.
"When someone sees her like this later, the impact will be even worse." Sun Quan said lightly.
"Reasonable." Zhou Yu nodded, agreeing with Sun Quan's statement. In the past few days, there are not only insiders here, Da Qiao's performance has been seen by outsiders, but it is the face of the Sun family that has been lost.
Now, Sun Quan is outside, and he is the overlord of Jiangdong; Inside, it is the head of the Sun family. His words and deeds, his thoughts and worries, must be considered for his family and his own power. From this point of view, he Zhou Yu was a little cautious, but there was no way, who told Zhou Yu to know the truth. Zhou Yu is ostensibly assisting Sun Quan, but in fact, Zhou Yu is assisting Sun Quan for Sun Ce! Therefore, Zhou Yu does not think from Sun Quan's point of view, he has always judged the pros and cons from Sun Ce's point of view.
"Lord, the representatives sent by Cao Cao's Xiandi later, Liu Biao's representatives, and Yuan Shao's representatives, you all need to receive them in person, of course, these are just going through the motions. However, there is one thing you have to make a decision about, and that is the disposal of Sun Hui. Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan, "Jiangdong is watching up and down." If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that it will make a very bad start. ”
You must know that Sun Wei was planning to seize power at that time, if it wasn't for being stopped by Yu Fu, Jiangdong might not be divided now. If Sun Quan takes care of family affection or family pressure and treats Sun Wei lightly, I am afraid that it will make the guy who is already ready to move even more unscrupulous.
Therefore, according to Zhou Yu's thoughts, he naturally hopes that Sun Quan can be reborn, at this time, he must destroy his relatives in righteousness and ignore his personal feelings, so as to deter others.
"Also..." Zhou Yu continued, "After disposing of Sun Wei, we must also set off as soon as possible and rush upstream. On the Lujiang side, Sun Ben and Xu Kun work together but don't have the same heart, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to win Li Shu. Li Shu dared to stand on his own feet as soon as possible, not to mention the importance of Lujiang County, just for the sake of the Sun family's face, this kind of repeated villain must be exterminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, we won't have much of a deterrent to the outside world. ”
Sun Quan rubbed his brows,
"Retaking Lujiang will inevitably make Cao Cao nervous, why not use it as a buffer with Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao can resist Yuan Shao with peace of mind, and we will try Jingzhou first?" Sun Quan said.
Zhou Yu shook his head,
"Cao Cao is afraid that it is difficult to be Yuan Shao's opponent. Cao Cao can resist Yuan Shao, which is the best, but he is afraid that the army will be defeated. Without Lujiang as an obstacle, we can see that this is not right, at least we can take the first step to rob the emperor. At that time, it is impossible to say that he will temporarily unite with Liu Biao to fight against Yuan Shao. Zhou Yu said, "Of course, as long as Cao Cao can stalemate with Yuan Shao, then we will immediately seize Jingzhou." Be prepared with both hands, this does not contradict our priority in retaking Lujiang. ”
The biggest difference between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu is that Sun Quan is particularly confident in Cao Cao, while Zhou Yu is particularly unconfident in Cao Cao. Therefore, the decision-making of the two will have completely different biases. Zhou Yu did not deny the possibility of what Sun Quan said, but he was biased towards Cao Cao's defeat, and once Cao Cao was defeated, the chain reaction, all kinds of civil and military generals would inevitably defect to Yuan Shao one after another, plus Cao Ying's internal instability, Cao Cao was likely to lose very quickly, and the defeat was very complete, so Zhou Yu believed that they must seize the opportunity, at least occupy a favorable geographical location in advance.
"Lord, Sun Ben, Xu Kun and I are already at odds, and if I go, the situation will only become more chaotic, and no one can convince anyone. Now only if you personally intervene can you stop the internal friction between them. Whether you take the Lujiang River or not, this is a top priority! Zhou Yu reminded.
