Chapter 665 Sun Ce Tuogu
"Brother!" Sun Quan held Sun Ce's other hand tightly and couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw his thin appearance.
"Zhong Mou, you came just in time."
Sun Ce sighed: "Brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive. Fortunately, you're here, so I can rest assured."
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Sun Quan cried, "Brother is a little overlord, nothing will happen to him."
"Zhongmou, listen to me."
Sun Ce spent a lot of energy every time he spoke, so Sun Quan had no choice but to close his mouth and listen to what Sun Ce said.
"My father's attack on Xiangyang failed, and our army had to surrender to Yuan Gongdao. Fortunately, Duke Ziheng persuaded me to raise an army. After many hardships, we finally took possession of the six counties in Jiangdong."
"Brother, I want to go north to the Central Plains, but it's a pity that time doesn't wait for me." Sun Ce smiled bitterly and looked at Sun Quan with gentle eyes: "Big brother is going, and the burden on your shoulders has to be handed over to you. You have to work hard."
"Brother." Sun Quan couldn't help but choked up, Wu Guotai and Da Qiao burst into tears, while Zhang Zhao, Lu Su, Huang Gai and others also had expressions of intolerance.
"Big brother, before I leave, I have to tell you a few words." Sun Ce said slowly.
"Brother, whatever you say, I will listen to you." Sun Quan cried.
Sun Ce whispered: "Zhongmou, you are still too young and not mature enough. You have to continue studying, do you understand?"
"Also, although you are young, fortunately, I have capable ministers and generals in Jiangdong to assist me. Please remember this sentence: If you are not sure about internal affairs, ask Zhang Zhao; if you are not sure about foreign affairs, ask Zhou Yu."
Sun Ce raised his voice and said, "Mr. Zibu."
Zhang Zhao hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, if you have any instructions, Zhao will certainly live up to your trust."
"Zibu has a high moral character and must assist Zhongmou properly. He is still too young and immature."
"Please rest assured, my lord, Zhao will do his best for the second young master."
"Yes." Sun Ce nodded with satisfaction and said with some regret: "Well, Gong Jin is leading troops in Chaisang right now. I really want to see him before leaving."
"Send someone to invite General Gongjin now?" Lu Su asked.
Sun Ce waved his hand and lamented: "No need, I won't be able to survive that time."
At this point, Sun Ce suddenly straightened up and sat up, his face flushed.
"Brother?" Sun Quan stopped crying and looked at him excitedly: "Are you cured?"
"My lord, I'm afraid it's time to shine again." Lu Su sighed.
"Zhongmou, you must not let down your brother's expectations and revitalize Jiangdong." Sun Ce took Sun Quan's hand and told him.
"Joel."
Da Qiao stepped forward and let Sun Ce caress her face, tears streaming down her face.
"Qiao'er, raise Shao'er well." Sun Ce said warmly: "You know how to support your mother?"
After that, Sun Ce said to Wu Guotai: "Mother, the child is leaving. Zhongmou and Shubi will honor you on your behalf. Don't forget about the child."
Wu Guotai nodded with tears in his eyes.
Sun Ce finally looked up at the sky and sighed: "Gong Jin, Gong Jin!"
After saying that, Sun Ce tilted his head and lay on the couch, motionless.
After a brief period of silence, cries like a mountain roar and a tsunami filled Sun Ce's mansion.
Jiujiang County, Chaisang.
"Go in, attack!"
"Boarding battle!"
On a high earthen platform, a handsome young general wearing armor and a purple brocade robe pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and looked into the lake with bright eyes.
Dozens of Jiangdong Army's gondola and stern warships were seen fighting in the lake. From time to time, two warships collided with each other. A Jiangdong Navy soldier on a warship was shirtless, biting a wooden sword, and He jumped onto the opposite ship and slashed at it with his sword.
"Drink!"
"Go down, you!"
The Jiangdong naval force who was hit in the body cried out in pain and fell directly into the water, making a big splash.
Most of these Jiangdong naval forces were recruits recruited from various counties. After several months of training by Zhou Yu, they had developed from farmers to soldiers, with a hint of vigor on their faces, and they understood how to cooperate with each other in battle formations, and how to behave. There is a degree of progress between them.
"Haha, General Gongjin." Xu Sheng on the side said with a smile: "These boys only need to practice for more than a month and experience a bloody battle before they can become an army."
"Not bad." Pan Zhang agreed: "Don't look at these boys, they seem to be in trouble. If they don't fight a tough battle, they will still be just showy."
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Well, after the grain and grass harvest is good, our army will attack Jiangxia again. The old man Huang Zu was so scared that he couldn't leave the house."
"Hahaha, Xu will be the vanguard when the time comes, Lao Pan, don't rob me." Xu Sheng said with a smile.
Pan Zhang said angrily: "The position of pioneer depends entirely on one's ability. What does robbery mean?"
"It all depends on your ability? Okay, then how about you and I compete and compete in fist and foot tactics?" Xu Sheng said without giving in.
"Are you afraid?" Pan Zhang rolled up his sleeves and said without fear.
Seeing the second general making a loud noise, Zhou Yu just smiled and said nothing. The two generals compete against each other and effectively promote healthy competition in the military, which is a good thing.
Zhou Yu looked to the west, which was the direction of Jiangxia.
In fact, Sun Ce ordered Zhou Yu to guard Chaisang and train new soldiers for the westward expedition to Jiangxia. As the strength of the Jiangdong Army gradually became sufficient, in fact, after discussion, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu decided that the Jiangdong Army would attack on two fronts and use Lujiang as its forward base. Expedition to Huainan and the Central Plains in the north; on the other hand, with Chaisang as the center, they marched westward to Jiangxia and sent troops to Jingzhou.
As long as Jingzhou can be captured, half of the country in the south will be occupied. When the time comes, the navy from Jiangdong can move north to Huainan and conquer Nanyang. It will be enough to compete with Liu Ye and separate the north and south. It can also advance westward from Jingzhou to Sichuan and Shu. This is a strategy to divide the world into two.
A strategic blueprint gradually took shape in Zhou Yu's mind, and at this moment, a scout sentry horse galloped from behind, and the sound of horse hooves trampled was heard.
"General Zhou, General Zhou! Wu County is urgently sending information."
"Bring it here."
Xu Sheng, who was beside Zhou Yu, walked over, took the letter from the sentry rider, turned around and tore it open. His expression changed drastically as he glanced at it.
"Wen Xiang, what's wrong?" Zhou Yu asked immediately when he saw Xu Sheng's expression was wrong.
"General Gong Jin, my lord has passed away." Xu Sheng whispered.
"What? This is impossible!"
Zhou Yu, who had a handsome face, was stunned for a moment. He reached out and grabbed the letter from Xu Sheng's hand. After reading it back and forth, he suddenly froze on the spot.
Pan Zhang on the side was also stunned.
The lord died? How is this possible? How could he suddenly die when he was in his prime?
However, when Pan Zhang saw Zhou Yu's expression, it didn't look like he was being fake. You must know that General Gong Jin has always been chatting and laughing, and he can be said to be a romantic man on the left. Very few things can change his mood.
Zhou Yu froze on the spot, and the hand holding the letter slowly dropped.
He looked towards the lake and shouted loudly.
"Brother Bo Fu, brother Bo Fu!"
