Nine years of Jian'an, mid-July.

Chaisang City was plain, and everyone had a sad look on their faces.

Under the restraint of Sun Yu, Jiang Qin and others, the order of each battalion was still in order, and they were actively preparing for the western expedition to Jingzhou.

Sun Yu deliberately guided Jiang Qin to preside over the overall situation because he saw the content of Zhou Yu's letter, but out of caution, he did not tell the truth.

After all, Zhou Yu's suggestion only represents himself, and whether he adopts it or not depends on Sun Quan's meaning, Sun Yu is very 'well-behaved' after the drastic changes in the family.

Sun Yu knew that although he was also surnamed Sun, he was fundamentally different from Sun Jian.

If Zhou Yu's recommendation was directly told to Jiang Qin, and Sun Quan finally chose someone else as the governor of the capital, Sun Yu would not be a person inside and outside at that time.

When the two went to the dock to greet Sun Quan, Lu Meng saw that Jiang Qin felt guilty, as if he had robbed the other party of something.

Sun Quan's attention was not on Jiang Qin, and he couldn't help but call Sun Yu aside when he landed.

"Zhongyi, what is the situation with Gong Jin? Why did you suddenly get a bad disease? ”

"Ahem."

Sun Yu looked left and right, and replied in a low voice: "Ziming and I called Lang Zhong, but the Metropolitan Governor stopped him from being treated, but the last general still made his own decision afterwards, so that Lang Zhong took a brief look, and the Metropolitan Governor seemed to have died of poisoning."

"Poisoned? Who is so bold? ”

Sun Quan pretended to be surprised, and then frowned and said to himself: "It is said that Gongjin's side is heavily guarded, and the gangsters should have no chance to poison."

Sun Yu nodded in agreement: "The last general is also puzzled."

"Hmm" Sun Quan thought for a while, stared at Sun Yu Zhengse and asked: "Gongjin shouldn't have any enemies, he went to Nanchang to hand over the military rations this time, I don't know what Boyang (Sun Ben)'s attitude is?" Nanchang experienced a catastrophe last year, and he should not be in a good situation now."

"Brother Boyang is reasonable, he knows that the governor is Jiangdong, and he agreed without the slightest hesitation, although we have had a banquet together, it should have nothing to do with him, we have no problem at all"

Sun Yu didn't finish speaking, but Sun Quan stretched out his hand to stop him, and asked in a deep voice: "Of course I believe in Brother Boyang, but I'm afraid that the villain will get in the way, so I didn't tell others about this matter, right?" If it makes a fuss, it will be terrible. ”

"No, the last will know what is serious."

Sun Yu nodded straightly: "But the remains of the Metropolitan Governor are different from others, and those who know some medical science can see the clues, and if you want to cover it up, you can only bury it early, otherwise the soldiers in the camp will know sooner or later." ”

"The temperature is high in midsummer, and the body can't be put for a long time, now there is no one in Gongjin's hometown, and after the condolences, we will send it back to Wu County for burial, we can't live up to Gongjin's deathbed entrustment, and we have to send troops to Jingzhou as soon as possible." Sun Quan said with a serious face.

Sun Yu reminded: "It's okay to send it back early, staying in Chaisang will increase the sadness and affect the morale of the soldiers, but I must also tell the rear generals that most of the governors are suffering from a vicious disease and died, don't speculate randomly, for fear of being used by people with intentions." ”

"Zhang Gong recommended Zhuge Ziyu to assist in the funeral, and he should be able to properly handle Gong Jin's funeral, but Zhong Yi's worries are not unreasonable, since Gong Jin's poisoning may not be hidden, why don't we directly identify the murderer?"

"Directly convict the murderer? Who is it? ”

Sun Quan looked to the west and said coldly: "We are about to start a war with Jingzhou, so we said that Huang Zu sent to poison the enemy, and when the soldiers hear this news, they will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy at that time." ”

"But how is it possible for Huang Zu's fine work?"

Sun Yu was interrupted by Sun Quan halfway through his words: "Don't worry about who the real murderer is, just find a hateful object for the soldiers, and when the time comes, it can not only encourage the soldiers to kill the enemy, but also resolve everyone's cranky thoughts, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"The lord is wise."

Sun Yu hugged his fists and complimented, saying in his heart that Sun Zhongmou was really powerful, and he should be more cautious in the future, if the object of hatred was Sun Ben, he was afraid that the other party would not be able to tell clearly.

Sun Quan nodded happily, and then changed the topic and asked: "The Governor of Dadu died suddenly, and the battalions of Chaisang must be leaderless, but I passed by Shuizhai just now and saw that the ships were in order, I don't know which general is giving orders on behalf of Gongjin?" Is that you? ”

"Definitely."

Sun Yu waved his hand and explained: "The prestige and qualifications of the last general are insufficient, and General Jiang is temporarily taking charge of the three armies in the near future."

"Gong Yi is indeed good."

Sun Quan twisted his purple beard, with affirmation in his tone, and then changed his words and said: "Since this is the case, when Ziming takes over as the governor of the capital, you and Gongyi will help more." ”

"Isn't it?"

Sun Yu subconsciously thought that Sun Quan was going to condemn Jiang Qin, but he actually chose Lu Meng, who was inferior in all aspects, so he quickly said the wrong thing for a while, and immediately asked: "Ziming, do you want to take over as the governor of the capital?" ”

Sun Quan replied indifferently: "Yes, although Ziming has less qualifications, but with Gongjin's recommendation, I still want to respect his meaning." ”

"The Governor of the Metropolis recommends it"

Sun Yu swallowed his saliva and muttered, saying in his heart that he was looking at the letter written by Zhou Yu, who he recommended I don't know?

It seems that the lord himself has changed the candidate, but the selection is a little inappropriate, but I am afraid that the officers and soldiers of the three armies will not be convinced.

"Oh, did Zhongyi forget?" Sun Quan handed over the last letter: "After the condolences to Gong Jin, you will take his handwritten letter and announce the appointment in front of the generals." ”

Sun Yu unfolded the letter and saw that it was exactly the same as that night, but when he saw Jiang Qin's name changed to Lu Meng, he couldn't help but rub his eyes, and said in his heart, Could it be that I was dazzled at that time?

"What? Is there a problem with this letter? ”

"No, it's true, it's the Metropolitan Governor's pen"

After being reminded by Sun Quan, Sun Yu immediately understood what was going on and guessed that Sun Quan had deliberately done something.

At the moment when he put the letter in his arms, Sun Yu couldn't help but glance at Lu Meng in the distance, and said in his heart that this Lu Ziming is usually loyal, brave and upright, and it turns out that the kung fu of drilling the camp is also amazing.

On the way back to Chaisang City, Sun Yu thought of a question.

If Lü Meng was allowed to stay in the fleet and go back to Wu County to report the funeral and deliver the letter, would Sun Quan give the governor of Dadu to himself?

Sun Yu quickly dispelled this idea, his brother Sun Wei rebelled when Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, and this Jiangdong Metropolitan Governor could be anyone, and he would not give it to the Sun family.

Sun Quan cried again in front of Zhou Yuling, but the body could not be put away for a long time in the high temperature in summer, and the mortuary had already had a peculiar smell for more than ten days, so he had to be sent back to Wu County for burial as soon as possible.

When the generals saw Sun Quan crying sadly, they were all so sad that they couldn't help themselves.

Sun Quan caught a glimpse of Huang Gai and the others wanting to stop talking, guessing that they were suspicious of the cause of Zhou Yu's death, so he instigated the plan: "Everyone, stop listening to me, I just received information from Jingzhou Xizuo, it was Huang Zu who sent Xizuo to poison Gongjin, so it caused the Dadu Governor to die violently, don't you want to take revenge?" ”

"Huang Zu?"

"Kill this traitor."

"Avenge the Grand Governor."

"Stepping on Jiangxia!"

When everyone was stunned, Sun Yu and Lu Meng's people shouted in unison, and the blood of the rest of the generals burned.

Just when the Jiangdong generals were angry, a sonorous and powerful questioning voice suppressed the noise.

"Lord, the Metropolitan Governor is heavily guarded, how can Huang Zu's people get in?"
