Zhou Yu went from poisoning to violent death, only half a day.

Although the aftermath has been explained, the officers and soldiers of the army all cried when they heard the news.

The cries spread from near and far, from the main ship, forming a mournful ensemble.

On the eve of dawn, the fleet sailed to the south of Pengli Zenan.

Lu Meng chose his entourage and his companions, and went to the top cabin of the main ship alone, ready to take another look at Zhou Yu's body, and then return to Wu County to report the funeral and deliver the letter.

As soon as he landed on the third deck, the hull of the ship was suddenly shaken by the waves.

Lu Meng hurriedly grabbed the railing on the side of the corridor, and at the same time, a black shadow fell down with the sway, and was carried by inertia and fell into the water.

This is?

Lu Meng ran forward with an arrow step, overlooking the river under the boat by the railing, but where could he still see a human figure?

In summer, it rains a lot in the upper mountains, so that the rivers are swollen and the water is turbulent, and it is impossible to catch it up without timely rescue.

The two guards guarding the spirit in the room heard the sound of stepping on the wooden planks on the porch, and were about to rush out to reprimand and stop them, only to find that it was Lu Meng.

"General Lu."

"Well, it seems that someone jumped ship just now, do you see who it is?"

"Huh? No, I don't. ”

The two guards looked at each other, and from time to time last night someone came to pay their respects, and they didn't close their eyes all night.

I just closed my eyes and took a nap when I met Lu Meng, and my brain was still buzzing at the moment, where could I care who jumped into the river outside the corridor?

Lu Meng frowned and pondered, and suddenly remembered Huo Chun, the waiter, and then took a few steps forward to take a look, and found that there was no one else in Zhou Yu's room.

"What about Huo Chun? Isn't he with you? ”

"I don't know."

One of the guards scratched his head and answered, while the other grabbed the conversation and said: "Huo Nei was busy all night sorting out the relics, not long ago he said that he was going to wash his face and sober up, and he was probably tired of resting somewhere, sad all night, and tired."

Martyrdom by throwing himself into the river?

These four words popped up in Lu Meng's mind, and then walked to Zhou Yu's couch and saluted respectfully, not planning to find someone to catch the loyal servants who threw himself into the river, but Huo Chun did not jump into the river and die as a martyr, but fell into the water with a poisonous hair in the wind and waves.

Chronic poison mutilates the body according to the dose, and Huo Chun gave the largest dose in the last bowl of soup, and going to work and grieve overnight exacerbated the poison time.

Lü Meng said goodbye to Zhou Yu's body, and immediately broke away from the fleet by boat, and arrived in Wu County in a few days.

When the news of Zhou Yu's untimely death came back, the Jiangdong ministers were so shocked that they couldn't keep their mouths shut.

Sun Quan even cried bitterly in the court, crying more sadly than when Sun Ce and Mrs. Wu died.

Everyone thought that Sun Quan had lost his coach, but in fact, he was happier than anyone else, he expected it to take a year or two, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Zhou Yu's talent is the best of the three armies, and Sun Quan knows better than anyone else.

However, the more capable and uncontrollable the generals, the more difficult the threat to deal with.

Dead butcher Zhang, and don't eat hairy pigs.

Sun Quan was not worried about finding a new commander, but he didn't want to use Jiang Qin, who was recommended by Zhou Yu.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Yu both went out of Huainan, both of them were generals who joined in the early days of Sun Ce's era, and the two had a close relationship in the army, and Sun Quan was worried that Zhou Yu would leave behind.

As the sky gradually darkened, the ministers left one after another, and in the end only Zhang Zhao and Lu Meng were left.

Zhang Zhao has been with Sun Quan for a long time, and his understanding of Sun Quan's mentality is higher than that of others, and he said that you are almost enough, you are afraid and afraid of Zhou Lang, and now you should breathe a sigh of relief when you move the mountain above your head.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the hall, Zhang Zhao stepped forward and reminded: "Although it is regrettable that Gong Jin died early, but the lord should focus on the overall situation of Jiangdong, this news is estimated to spread soon, if you don't settle everything as soon as possible, foreign enemies are likely to take advantage of the situation, please cheer up." ”

"The Governor has always been in Kangtai, and there are no sword injuries, I really can't figure it out."

Sun Quan still knelt on the spot, slapping the ground lazily with his hands, like an unreasonable child.

Lu Meng immediately clasped his fists and admonished: "My lord, before the death of the Grand Governor, he said that Jingzhou had suffered a huge natural disaster, and this is a God-given opportunity that cannot be abandoned, you should follow the last words of the Grand Governor and redefine the commander of the three armies to continue the westward expedition, so that the Grand Governor can also turn a blind eye."

"Well, that makes sense."

Sun Quan raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, and asked Zhang Zhao with a positive color: "Ziming reminded me that I plan to go to Chaisang to offer condolences in person, Zhang Gong and Gongjin are old friends, can I go with me?" ”

"The old minister is willing to serve the dogs and horses." Zhang Zhao bowed his hand.

Sun Quan asked again: "At this time, the weather is hot, Gongjin's body can't be put in Chaisang for a long time, and it should be sent back to Wu County for burial as soon as possible, who do you think will preside over the funeral?" ”

Zhang Zhao whispered: "Zhuge Ziyu is gentle and honest, and he hasn't taken up his new post since returning from Haiyan, why don't you let him comfort his family and assist in the funeral?" ”

"It's okay, that's it."

Sun Quan bowed slightly, and then reminded Zhang Zhao: "Gongjin's last words are good, we can't miss the opportunity, the westward expedition to Jingzhou cannot be stopped, and the supply of grain and grass in the rear must be guaranteed." ”

Zhang Zhao comforted and said: "My lord, please rest assured, Changxu (Sun Shao) and Wenbiao (Qin Song) will do it well." ”

Sun Quan raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Before leaving, send someone to Huiji, let Gu Juncheng (Gu Yong) temporarily return to Wu, and assist them in preparing for the Western Expedition. ”

"The old minister can save it."

"Let's go first."

"Yui."

Zhang Zhao left the hall with his front feet, and Sun Quan immediately abandoned others and looked at Lu Meng with frowns: "Ziming, you tell me in detail about the situation of the Grand Governor, the description just now is too simple, and all the details can't be let go, I always feel that something is wrong."

"The last general also felt that it was wrong, but the Metropolitan Governor insisted that he was suffering from a serious disease, and the Metropolitan Governor went out of Nanchang after drinking that day"

Lu Meng talked to Sun Quan about Zhou Yu's experience before his death, including Huo Chun's main throwing into the river, for half an hour.

After hearing this, Sun Quan was excited in his heart, and said in his heart that even God is helping me regain military power.

Huo Chun died so quietly, Zhou Shan could directly rule out suspicion, Sun Quan could use Zhou Yu's death to make a fuss, or he could easily cover up the past.

Wonderful, everything was perfect.

As for the charge to Sun Ben, Sun Quan didn't understand it for a while, he thought that as long as he could get back the military power and Buqi could gain a firm foothold in Luling, Sun Ben's threat would no longer exist.

However, if Jiang Qin is not allowed to take over as the governor of the capital, who has the ability to command the three armies in Jiangdong?

In terms of prestige and qualifications, the veteran Cheng Pu is the most suitable, but because of his old qualifications and prestige, he may not be so obedient.

Lu Fan is younger and sleeker than Cheng Pu, and he is also a good candidate for succession, but at this time, it is not appropriate to move lightly to guard Guangling, and the degree of deference does not meet Sun Quan's expectations.

Sun Quan suddenly raised his head, saw Lu Meng standing solemnly, and said in his heart that Lu Ziming was not qualified enough and was slightly younger, but he was his own henchman, and he was smart and resolute, not a reckless man, and he would be able to achieve the talent of a general in time.

"Ziming."

"My lord?"

"If you come to be the governor of the capital, do you have the confidence to command the three armies to help me take Jingzhou?"

"Huh? I? The Metropolitan Governor is not recommending Chiang."

"It's just an assumption, you just have to answer yes or no."
