Yu Ban occupied Wuling, which was equivalent to holding the throat of Huang Gai's northward march to Nanjun, and Huang Gai only needed to raise troops to the north and attack Nanjun. Wuling's Yu Ban will be the first to know about the wind and grass in Changsha, so as to inform Cao Ren and prepare in advance. This is the strategic significance of Hanshou counties.

Wuling and Nanjun are connected together, which is equivalent to cutting Changsha and Jiangxia to the greatest extent. Now Cao Ren can finally free up his hands and use the power of Nanyang and Nanjun to unite against Jiang Xia.

Under the current situation, as long as Jiangxia is broken and the war in Jingzhou is broken, it can be said that the dust has fallen. Nanyang, Jiangxia, and Nanjun have got their hands, and the army is everywhere, are you still afraid that the four counties of Jingnan will not fall in the wind?

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were in Jiangxia, reorganizing the soldiers and horses, patrolling around, and boosting morale. Just as he was about to work together to break Cao Ren, he suddenly received a letter from Sun Ce, saying that the advance would be postponed, and the Jingzhou strategy would be turned into a comprehensive defense.

Zhou Yu was surprised in his heart, he didn't know what happened, but after seeing the letter, he got a shocking news: Sun Jian is critically ill! Although Sun Ce has basically presided over everything in the past few years, Sun Jian, as the leader of the older generation, his status is still extremely important. At this time, if Sun Jian can't survive, it will also be a huge blow to Yangzhou, which is suffering from internal and external troubles.

After Zhou Yu read the letter, Cheng Pu also rushed over, followed by Sun Quan. Sun Quan's eyes were a little red, and he seemed to have cried. After Cheng Pu came over, he said directly: "Gong Jin, Bo Fu sent a letter, saying that the lord is sick, I am already in turmoil at this time, and I want to entrust you with all the things in Jiangxia, so I will return to Jianye." ”

Cheng Pu and Sun Jian have experienced ups and downs for decades, and they are called monarchs, but they are actually siblings. At this time, Wen Sun Jian was seriously ill, but he couldn't sit still. It is better to leave the heavy responsibility of Jiangxia and go to Jianye.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but be stunned, how could it be child's play in the important affairs of the military state. This is said to pick a pick, what should I do if Cao Ren called? So he persuaded: "Cheng Gong, the lord is seriously ill, and I am also worried. However, at this time, Cao Rentun was outside, sharpening his knife Huohuo, which means Jiangxia. At this time of crisis, how can Cheng Gong leave lightly? How about letting Zhongmou return to Jianye first? ”

Cheng Pu was also in a dilemma, worried that Sun Jian wanted to go to Jianye, and worried that he would go, and Zhou Yu would be no match for Cao Ren. After thinking about it, I still feel that the safety of Jiangxia and Jingzhou is important. So he closed his eyes and sighed: "Just follow Gongjin's words." Zhongmou, you should return to Jianye quickly. ”

Sun Quan listened and retreated. He didn't want to be here for a moment. When he came out, his father was fine, and he told him a lot of things with a smile, but he didn't expect that not long after Jiang Xia, he heard such bad news. One of his hearts had already flown to Jianye. So he said goodbye to Cheng Pu and Zhou Yu, got on the boat, plucked up his sail all the way, went down the river, and went straight to Jianye.

At this time, Sun Jian was carefully cared for by the doctor, and although he hung his life, he also woke up and fell asleep. Sun Ce was in the hall, and he was so anxious that he was in a hurry. All the affairs in the state are also entrusted to Zhang Hong and others.

Sun Yi, Sun Kuang and others were already waiting in the palace, and Sun Quan, Wu Jing and other close relatives were also on their way to Wen Xin. Mrs. Wu snuggled next to Sun Jian's couch in the hall, her eyes were red and swollen, and she held Sun Jian's hand tightly with both hands, for fear that her lover would leave quietly.

A few more days passed, hurrying and hurrying, and everyone who should have come came. The Sun family and the Wu family all gathered outside the hall, and Sun Ce and other children and his uncle Wu Jing were all in the hall.

Sun Jian had been asleep for a long time, and when he woke up, he opened his eyes, only to feel that his mind was exceptionally clear, his head turned, and when he saw that all his children were there, he smiled with relief. tightened his wife's hand with his hand, and then called the sons to tell them one by one, and finally, called Sun Ce.

Sun Ce approached and knelt in front of the couch. With tears in his eyes, he looked at his father's thin cheeks. Sun Jian had already led the army to fight in the world when he was very young, and when he was a child, he was raised by his mother, Mrs. Wu, and Sun Jian gave him very little fatherly love. Returning home in a hurry was also harsh on him. It's just that this is his father. The pillar of his heart, a hero he admired since childhood.

Sun Ce said with difficulty: "Father ......" After speaking, tears finally fell in large numbers, and his throat was hoarse, but he couldn't say a word.

Sun Jian looked at this eldest son who was most like himself, and his heart was infinitely loving. He was relieved and regretful. I am glad that I have an excellent successor to my career. regretted that he couldn't continue to live, and watched Sun Ce compete with the heroes of the world. He fought all his life on horseback, and since he was seriously wounded, he was bedridden. He is not afraid of death, but he can't die on the battlefield, and lingering on the sickbed is really difficult to call his heart.

Sun Jian said: "Bo Fu, man, don't cry. ”

Sun Ce nodded, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and listened intently.

Sun Jian said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, grass and trees withering and glorious, this world is common. I'm nearly 50 years old, so I'm not a dead man. After I go, you will be in charge of Koto. Be filial to your mother, and be reconciled to your brothers. Be kind to the old ministers. My son's talent is a hundred times that of mine. Since the beginning of the century, go further. ”

Sun Ce kept it in mind and said yes one by one.

Sun Jian said again: "You have your own opinions on how to do things, so I won't say more." Birf, come with your ears. ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he leaned over and listened to Sun Jian's orders. But I heard Sun Jian's faint voice, penetrating into my ears: "My son, although there are three points today, Xuande is stronger than the north." If you can protect the foundation of Jiangdong, you will protect it. If you don't protect it, you can go to Xuande. Xuande is loyal and loyal, not like Mengde. If there is disharmony, you can pass on the national seal to the north, and Xuande will be able to protect my grandson's family in the past, so that the wealth will not be lost. Remember, remember. ”

Sun Ce listened and nodded hurriedly. No matter how much he had an idea in his heart, it was impossible for him to disobey his father's last words at this time. After Sun Jian confessed, he summoned the civil and military ministers to come and said: "After my death, Bo Fu will take charge of Jiangdong by attacking me. I also hope that the princes will see that you and I have been in love for many years, and treat Bo Fu as if they were me. Jiangdong Foundation, please leave it to you. ”

The ministers bowed and obeyed. Sun Jian finally shook Mrs. Wu's hand, and infinite tenderness rose in his eyes: "Madam, you have worked hard for me to give birth to children and raise children all your life." I'm sorry for you. "Speechless.

Mrs. Wu burst into tears and burst into tears. Sun Ce also shouted: "Father! Then there was a cry of sorrow in the temple.

Sun Jian's history books say that he is broad and curious. He is brave and brave, and he knows people well. Therefore, no matter the brave generals, celebrities, even pawns, they are all convinced of him. That's why he was able to leave a huge foundation and team to Sun Ce.

Although Sun Ce is also a natural talent, he is a little harsh in treating people. Of course, the flaws are not hidden. With his super high personal charm, Sun Ce has also attracted countless heroes to follow. As for Sun Quan, although Sun Quan in the history books sat firmly in Jiangdong, he also relied on the foundation laid by his father and brother. As for his own treatment of the old ministers of the father, even if they are close relatives, the methods are a little brutal.

There are three sons and sons in the Sun family, and Sun Jian is the most outstanding in terms of ability and personality. It's a pity that he escaped the catastrophe of Huang Zu, but he still can't avoid this time.

In the autumn of the fourth year of Yanping, the Jiangdong Tigers and Sun Jian fell.
