Chapter 691

When Liu Bei learned of Sun Jian's death, he was also overwhelmed with emotion. recalled the past when he went to Liangzhou to ask Dong Zhuo. Sighing.

There is nothing more ruthless in the world than time. The hero is white-headed, and the beauty is in the twilight. Under the erosion of time, no matter how magnificent the power is, it will seem so powerless. Sun Jianrong has been a horse all his life, and he has dominated the world. In the end, it can only end with hatred. It's a pity to have such a character.

The Yangzhou envoy soon went north to Qingzhou with Sun Jian's testament. Sun Jian is also a nominal Hanchen, so if the military minister who left the town dies, he will naturally have to go to the imperial court. Of course, the most important thing is to negotiate for Sun Ce to renew the seal. In this way, Sun Ce can rightfully lead Jiangdong.

This kind of thing, Liu Bei naturally will not embarrass Jiangdong. After all, this is also to maintain the unity of the world. In later generations, even if Lao Jiang could not command the major military leaders, he would have to make a wish, let those military leaders change their banners and maintain the face of the national government?

Regarding Sun Jian's death, Qingzhou showed two completely different arguments, the old ministers sighed about the past, but the Shaozhuang faction was a little excited, the leader of the separatist faction died, and his son Sun Ce was always easier to deal with than Sun Jian, right? There is a little more hope for the world to return to unity!

The will of the imperial court was to go to Jiangdong with the messenger of condolences, Jian Yong. Jian Yong is also a handsome guy by the standards of later generations, of course, he has become a handsome uncle now. And full of poems and books, every move, elegant and graceful. He is the best choice for the mission. When he arrived in Jianye, he first mourned Sun Jian, and then summoned all the people in Jiangdong, read the edict of the Son of Heaven in public, worshiped Sun Ce as the general of Zhennan, opened the mansion, supervised Yang, Jing, and handed over the military and political affairs of the three states, and attacked the Marquis of Wu.

After Sun Ce led his ministers to thank the Son of Heaven for his grace, he got up and talked to Jian Yong. Jian Yong sighed: "Looking back on the past, Brother Wentai's voice and appearance are still vivid. Who would have thought that after a long time, when they said goodbye, they would be separated by heaven and earth. People can't be resurrected after death, and Zhennan also asks for condolences. ”

Sun Ce thanked Jian Yong and asked, "The envoy came from the north, I don't know how the epidemic situation in Yanzhou is?" ”

Jian Yong said: "After the efforts of the imperial court, there is no big problem. ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he said: "In this case, Cao Mengde has offended my land for no reason, why does the imperial court turn a blind eye?" "Sun Ce can't help it now. The epidemic is still raging in Jiujiang, and the whole Yangzhou is panicked and worried, for fear that the plague will spread to the entire Jiangdong. At this time, Cao Cao invaded again, attacked Jingzhou, and the people of Yangzhou were not afraid of fighting. But Sun Jian, the lord of Yangzhou, died suddenly at this critical juncture.

This has to give people ideas. Is it that Sun's gas is running out and he can't sit in Jiangdong steadily? The doctrine of prophecy has been popular for a long time. Mysterious things always arouse people's curiosity. Destiny, Qi number, not only can be used to confuse the foolish people, even the gentry who have read books are also convinced of this. For example, Zhou Yu once said in history that the mandate of heaven is in Sun Wu and something like that. During this time, Sun Ce had to deal with the funeral of his father Sun Jian, deal with the turmoil in Jiujiang, interview ministers, appease people's hearts, and consider the war in Jingzhou, and he really felt a little unbearable. He is beaten of iron, and he can't stand the wear.

So I can only drag the north into the water together. After all, nominally, everyone has to listen to the imperial court, right?

Jian Yong glanced at Sun Ce, and said in his heart, did you ask our opinion when you robbed Jingzhou? If you can't hold it now, you say you will turn a blind eye?

Jian Yong was not easy to mess with, so he smiled and said: "The imperial court is brewing, if the Cao and Sun families cannot coexist peacefully in Jingzhou, so that the people of Jingzhou can live and work in peace and contentment." Therefore, Liu Jingsheng, the pastor of Jingzhou, is still in the court. When the army was sent to protect Liu Jingsheng to the south, he would then town Jingzhou. ”

Didn't you say that the court turned a blind eye? I tell you, the court did not turn a blind eye. It's about careful consideration. It really didn't work, so he sent a large army to escort Liu Jingsheng to the south. Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou for many years, and Bude is in Jingzhou and is widely regarded. I just asked you if you were afraid?

When Sun Ce heard this, he was dumbfounded by Jian Yong. Originally, I wanted Jian Yong to bring a message to the north, even if it was to come out and give Cao Cao some political pressure. As a result, Jian Yong came directly to such a play. Isn't the script played out like this?

Zhang Hong listened to it next to him, and looked up to the sky and snorted, the lord of the heart is still a little tender, and he can't deal with Jian Yong's slippery hands, so don't say it, it's wrong to say more. So he said: "Xianhe has come from afar, and he has been tired of traveling and traveling, so he will not talk about state affairs today, so he should rest early." ”

Jiang Dong didn't want to think about it, and Jian Yong didn't want to do much. He didn't have any special mission, just to make a decree, offer condolences, and then go back. Although Yanzhou also had epidemics, Jian Yong felt that the north was much safer than Yangzhou. After all, my father-in-law has vigorously implemented health and epidemic prevention regulations for many years, unlike Yangzhou, I don't know the details, who knows what the situation is here.

After Jian Yong came, Sun Ce also got what he wanted. Since then, he has officially become the lord of Yangzhou, holding the power of life and death in Yangzhou, and is no longer the young master he used to be. Until Sun Jian was buried, Sun Ce did not feel sorry for Jian Yong anymore. He was really afraid of annoying Liu Bei, and he also sent troops and horses to intervene, which would really be self-defeating.

During his stay in Yangzhou, Jian Yong lived in a simple place, and only communicated with Sun Ce and Yangzhou celebrities a few times. After all, Yangzhou is still handling Sun Jian's funeral, and it is not good for him to move around and invite people to the banquet to do things like winning over feelings. However, Jian Yong still left a deep impression on the ministers of Yangzhou. Countless people can't help but think deeply, after all, it is the north, the land of elites, and the characters naturally show off.

After Jian Yong returned to the north, Sun Ce ordered Jiangxia to continue to defend and take the lead in rectifying Jiujiang. First of all, he continued to send a large number of soldiers, horses, physicians and medicinal herbs in. Then he beheaded dozens of officials and people who were ineffective in treatment and who bewitched the public with false rumors. The fierce and iron-blooded methods made Yangzhou suddenly stunned, and many people reacted that Yangzhou had changed the sky, although Sun Ce and Sun Jian were father and son, their personalities and methods were different. At this time, it is the time for the new lord to succeed to the throne and find someone to establish his authority. Be cautious, don't touch the mold.

After strengthening the control, the epidemic in Jiujiang finally eased. After the source of infection was isolated, the disease finally stopped spreading on a large scale. The dead men and beasts were burned to ashes by a fire, and even these ashes were buried deep in the ground.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic in Jiujiang, 5,000 people have died of illness, and more than 1,000 people have survived the disaster after timely treatment. After getting the statistics, Sun Ce was also terrified, this plague is so terrible, if it wasn't discovered in time and intervened in time, how many people would have died in Yangzhou this time?
