"Xu Kun died in battle??"

Sun Quan exclaimed, his reaction greater than Zhou Yu's. Xu Kun may not be famous in history, but Sun Quan has stayed in the Sun family since he was born, and he is very familiar with this name.

Among the close relatives of the Sun family, the two people with the most rights are: Wu Jing, the younger brother of Mrs. Wu, who is Sun Jian's wife; Then there is Xu Kun, the son of Sun Jian's sister Mrs. Sun.

These two people, Sun Quan has often seen them at family banquets since he was a child, and before the rise of the Sun family, the Wu family and the Xu family, as Jiangdong Wang clans, were not under the Sun family.

It can be said that without the support of the Wu family and the Xu family, there would be no current Sun family. And for another analogy, if Jiangdong at that time was regarded as a company, then the Sun family, the Wu family, and the Xu family were the three original shareholders, and now, the company has become bigger, and the Sun family, as the chairman and CEO, is famous all over the world, but the Wu family and the Xu family still have absolute shares in the company.

As I have said before, there are three camps of military generals under Sun Ce: first, the old ministers left by Sun Jian, headed by Cheng Puhan Dang; the second is Sun Ce's cronies, headed by Zhou Yu; The third is the "foreign relative" force headed by Xu Kun.

Now, as soon as Xu Kun dies, it will cause this solid composition to collapse directly!

"I heard that it was a trick to surrender by Li Shu." Zhou Yu said, "He didn't expect that Li Shu's courage was so big and so ruthless!" ”

If Li Shu has a large enough territory and a deep enough foundation, then it is understandable for him to do this kind of thing, because others may not be able to help him in the end. But Li Shu is just a city place, and he directly killed the important high-level of the Jiangdong Army, and he has this grudge, does he still want to live when the city is broken in the future? Could it be that Li Shu really naively thought that he could resist the wrath of the Jiangdong Army?!

It is with the above cognition that Xu Kun was so easily fooled. Because Xu Kun didn't think that Li Shu dared to touch him!

But now, the most illogical and unreasonable thing has happened. Is it because Li Shu and Jiangdong have an inextricable hatred? Or does Li Shu think that Sun Quan will definitely not let him go, so if he can kill one, it will be counted as one?

"Where's Sun Ben?" Sun Quan asked.

"It is said that the defense line is being tightened and the morale of the army is reorganized. It's just that morale is frustrated, and it is not so easy to recover. Zhou Yu replied, "Moreover, the people of Xu Kun's faction, Sun Benke can't command it." ”

Sun Quan frowned and couldn't help but say,

"Sun Ben is very responsible for Xu Kun's death. At the beginning, Xu Kun was obviously guarding Jiangxia, but it was Sun Ben who led the troops to move without authorization, so there was a confrontation between the two in Peng Lize. Subsequently, the two reached an agreement to jointly crusade against Lujiang, if my guess is correct, they should have made a bet, whoever breaks through Lujiang first will listen to whoever will be later. Presumably, it is precisely because of this gamble that Xu Kun will be in a hurry and fall for Li Shu's plan! Sun Quan said in an analysis.

"My lord, the matter has come to this, and the reason is no longer important. The influence of Xu Kun's faction is too strong, and if he is not careful, he may even shake the foundation of Jiangdong! Now, compared with recapturing Lujiang, I think it is more important to stabilize the morale of the army and appease the heart of the Xu family. Zhou Yu reminded Sun Quan and said.

Don't look at the surface, the Xu family and the Wu family seem to be similar, but in fact, after Sun Jian disappeared and Sun Ce was in charge, the situation was already different. In terms of relationship, the Xu family is Sun Ce Sun Quan's uncle's family, while the Wu family is Sun Ce Sun Quan's mother's family, and the relationship between relatives and relatives is clear at a glance.

It can be said that if the Wu family wants to fall out of favor, it will at least wait until the next generation of Sun Quan, but the Xu family, maybe in this generation, will be estranged from the Sun family.

Therefore, the Xu family's sense of crisis is far greater than that of the Wu family, Wu Jing can stay in the base camp very leisurely all day long, but Xu Kun has to work hard at the front line, because only in this way can their family continue in Jiangdong. And it is precisely because of Xu Kun's fighting spirit that his influence in the Jiangdong Army today is very huge. Behind Xu Kun, there is not only the Xu family, but also countless Jiangdong scholars.

"In the political arena, for those families who do not have military power, they can make trouble at will. But militarily, my lord, we must find a way to stabilize the hearts of those nobles as soon as possible. Zhou Yu said.

"While Cao Cao's people are still in Jiangdong, I immediately went to the table, posthumously made Xu Kun a marquis, and let his son inherit the title." Sun Quan thought about it and said, this kind of title is not a problem to pass on to three generations, and it should be able to appease the Xu family's heart to some extent. You must know that this is the second marquis in the entire Jiangdong, except for his grandson's family. This fame alone is enough to make the Xu family prominent.

However, Zhou Yu still shook his head, looked at Sun Quan and said,

"Compared with Cao Cao's reward, I'm afraid it's your own statement, which is more reassuring."

Now everyone knows that the reward for offering the emperor is not enough to get a false name, and in many cases, it does not play any practical role.

"In your opinion, what is more appropriate?" Sun Quan directly threw the question back to Zhou Yu. It has long been said that Zhou Yu is very strong and very smart, so Zhou Yu will always tell Sun Quan what to do, and Zhou Yu will not think that there is anything wrong with his arrangement.

"Marriage." Zhou Yu said his answer.

"Marriage?" Sun Quan's eyelids jumped.

"That's right." Zhou Yu nodded, "Back then, the Sun family and the Xu family were united because of marriage, and now they should naturally use marriage to maintain the relationship between the two." ”

Probably seeing that Sun Quan was a little reluctant, Zhou Yu couldn't help reminding,

"Lord, you should understand that born in a family like the Sun family, no matter if you are of various identities, some things are unavoidable. At least for now, you still have options, don't you? ”

"Is this also called a choice?" Sun Quan was speechless, he knew that he had no freedom when he was the lord, but as a result, he didn't even have this kind of freedom now. But speechless is speechless, Sun Quan has long accepted this kind of political marriage, not to mention the marriage arranged for him by Mrs. Wu before, it is the first Miss Yuan family that Sun Quan took, isn't it also a standard marriage!

It's just that when you marry home, you have to take responsibility, when you married Yuan Yuan, and later Yuan Shu had an accident, Sun Quan also resisted the pressure and took in a lot of Yuan's family. This made Yuan Yuan feel at ease at home out of gratitude to Sun Quan, without regrets.

Therefore, if Sun Quan marries a certain lady of the Xu family this time, then in the future, Sun Quan will have to take care of the Xu family's broken affairs. Moreover, Miss Yuan is a beautiful lady and knows the general situation, and she has never made trouble for Sun Quan. But the unknown Miss Xu, who knows what it will be like?

Zhou Yu said you can pick? How to pick? Really elected as a show girl, the Xu family doesn't want to lose face?

"This matter can be done slowly, just let the wind out first. After all, Xu Kun's bones are not cold, and he is not suitable for happy events. In contrast, let's rush to Lujiang immediately, for now, avenging Xu Kun can better calm the resentment of the Xu family. Sun Quan said.

"Attack Lujiang, just leave it to me." Zhou Yu said suddenly.

Sun Quan's eyes flashed,

"Oh? What about me? ”
