Sun Ce's death caused a great shock in Jiangdong.

This year, Sun Ce was thirty-six years old, eleven years longer than in history, but his son Sun Shao was only sixteen years old.

Originally, according to convention, after Sun Ce's death, Sun Shao should inherit the throne of King Wu, but because of Sun Quan's appearance, things have changed a lot.

Sun Quan is open-minded, benevolent and decisive, advocating chivalry, and cultivating customers.

Over the years, Sun Quan has had a very close relationship with the major families in Jiangdong, and his reputation as a corporal has spread throughout Eastern Wu.

The people of Eastern Wu not only know the brave and majestic Sun Bofu, but also know the gentle and elegant Corporal Sun Zhongmou.

Sun Quan's reputation can also be compared with that of his father and brother.

When Sun Ce was poisoned, people inside and outside Jiangdong were panicked, and Sun Shao was also the master of the six gods, only Sun Quan stepped forward, and with extremely clever skills, he quickly stabilized the situation in Jiangdong.

In King Wu's mansion, Jiangdong civil and military gathered together, everyone was dressed in plain clothes, and everyone was silent at this time.

After a long time, Zhang Zhao stepped forward and said: "The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, the lord was unfortunately killed, we are the lord of the house, and we must guard the foundation of Jiangdong for the lord!" ”

The crowd nodded, but did not speak.

The situation in Jiangdong today is more chaotic than in history, because at that time Liu Biao had no intention of making progress, and Cao Cao was also busy fighting Yuan Shao.

Moreover, Sun Ce also passed the position of the lord of Jiangdong to Sun Quan before he died.

But now, Sun Quan is twenty-nine years old, and the next year has reached the age of establishment, but Sun Ce died too suddenly, and the next lord of Jiangdong has not been determined at all.

For a huge power, the most terrible thing is not the external enemy, but the internal instability.

Although Sun Shao is Sun Ce's son, after all, he is too young, and his reputation is not the same as Sun Quan's.

Now that it is a troubled time, it is obviously better to choose a capable lord of Jiangdong than to let Sun Shao take the throne.

However, although Sun Quan has a lot of good names and wants to become the new lord of Jiangdong, he also has some unjustified reputations.

Jiangdong civil and military, although they all know that they have to choose a new monarch, but they are afraid of standing on the wrong side, so they don't dare to speak out at all.

Zhang Zhao couldn't help but feel quite helpless when he saw everyone's performance, and he could only speak hard.

Coughing lightly twice, attracting everyone's attention, Zhang Zhao suddenly said: "It stands to reason that after the death of the lord, the lord of Jiangdong should be inherited by the prince Sun Shao." ”

"However, now that it is a troubled time, the son is too young after all, and the lord praised Zhongmou before his death, thinking that Zhongmou is talented."

"Because the lord went too hastily and did not set up a new lord of Jiangdong, it doesn't matter if you have any ideas."

When Zhang Zhao said this, he couldn't help but pause, in fact, now, he has already revealed his thoughts.

Zhang Zhao is not a small risk in doing this, if Sun Shao eventually inherits Jiangdong, it is very likely that he will have a grudge against Zhang Zhao because of today's events.

However, after all, Zhang Zhao is a famous person in the world, and he will not care too much about this kind of thing.

Moreover, he was friendly with Sun Quan, and he also thought that Sun Quan's inheritance of the position of the lord of Jiangdong was far better than Sun Shao, so he spoke like this.

After Zhang Zhao began, Jiangdong Wenwu also expressed their opinions.

I have to say that over the years, Sun Quan has unknowingly gained a prestigious reputation in Jiangdong, and has also made friends with many Jiangdong civil and military personnel.

Even if Sun Shao's inheritance of Jiangdong's foundation was nominally a matter of course, there were still many people who were loyal to Sun Ce and strongly demanded that Sun Quan ascend the throne.

Jiangdong civil and military you quarrel with me, argue with reason, and the hall is chaotic for a while.

"Stomp, stomp!"

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded, and everyone looked up at it, only to find that Zhou Yu, Tai Shici, and Lu Su actually came together.

In the entire Jiangdong, these three people are also important figures, they appeared at this time, and the people who were arguing suddenly fell silent.

Zhang Zhao looked at Zhou Yu, who had a frosty face, but he was not afraid at all, and said: "Gong Jin came at the right time, we are discussing who can inherit the matter of the lord." ”

……

Guanzhong, in Chang'an.

The relocation of the capital has been completed for the most part, and today's Chang'an has once again become a prosperous metropolis.

In the northwest direction of Chang'an City, there is a bridge across Weishui, called Wei Bridge. Weiqiao, whose original name is Hengqiao, was built in the first period of Qin Shi Huang and renamed Weiqiao when it arrived in the Han Dynasty.

Spring is slowly passing and the weather is getting hotter.

But today, there is a person standing on the Wei Bridge, looking at the Wei water flowing eastward, but he doesn't care about the poisonous sun in the sky.

Although the weather was clear, the wind above Weishui was still not small.

"Whew!"

The wind howled, raising a little dust on the bridge and blowing up the man's shirt on the bridge, but the man remained unmoved.

"Hey!"

Finally, the man who had stood for a long time sighed deeply, and looked into the distance with his eyes full of loneliness.

"A generation of heroes Sun Bofu died in vain."

This person is Chen Xu, after he got the news of Sun Ce's death, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Even if he is on the other side, Chen Xu also thinks that Sun Ce is a peerless hero, a great hero and a hero.

Chen Xu in his previous life also loved Sun Ce very much, so after learning of Sun Ce's tragic death, Chen Xu immediately felt very sad.

This kind of sadness is not pretended, but really sad.

He didn't say much, just took some guards out of Chang'an City, and after letting everyone guard both ends of the Wei Bridge, Chen Xu stood alone on the bridge in a daze.

"Whoa!"

Weishui suddenly roared, and a wooden plank floating in the river was suddenly swept up by the waves and thrown high.

"Smack!"

The plank had thought that it would be free from the river and would no longer drift with the current.

But it did not leave the river for long, and still fell into the river, and was once again carried by the rushing water, and ran helplessly forward.

It doesn't know where its future lies, and it doesn't know what its future holds, and it's just confused and helpless.

Chen Xu fixed his gaze at the wooden board that was far away, and muttered in a low voice: "Compared to that wooden plank, maybe I know my goal." ”

"But the general trend is like this, and I can only go with the flow, not perfect."

Speaking of this, Chen Xu suddenly sighed deeply, and his tone was full of helplessness and melancholy.

"Lord, lord."

Chen Xu, who was melancholy, suddenly heard a voice from far and near, he turned his head to look, only to find that Dian Wei was walking in this direction.

After seeing Dian Wei, Chen Xu hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

Dian Wei said eagerly: "After Sun Bofu died, Sun Quan actually took over the position of the lord of Jiangdong, and when all the gentlemen learned the news, they all had to discuss important matters with the lord. ”

When Chen Xu heard this, he felt a little strange, could it be that Sun Quan became the lord of Jiangdong, was there anything unusual?

But he didn't want to ask directly, so he immediately took Dian Wei and others to Chang'an City.

The newly built mansion of King Qin in Chang'an City, compared to the so-called palace in Pusaka, I don't know how much more magnificent.

In fact, although Chen Xu had already become a prince, he was usually very frugal, and he didn't want to build the palace so luxuriously.

However, Guan Chinese Wudu believes that the Qin King's Mansion is a symbol of Chen Xu's status, and it must not be too shabby.

In desperation, Chen Xu had no choice but to build a large construction project and build a mansion with a wide area and extremely luxurious.

After Chen Xu walked into the chamber of King Qin's mansion, he immediately saw that Guan Chinese Wu had gathered together.

When everyone saw Chen Xu, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Striding to the main seat, Chen Xu looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone gathered in the palace, what is the matter?" ”

Cheng Yu took the lead and said: "Originally, Jiangdong Sun Bofu was poisoned, and we thought that Jiangdong was no longer afraid, but I didn't want that Sun Zhong to find a way to become the new lord of Jiangdong." ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu's face couldn't help but become solemn.

Although Sun Quan did not have a reputation among the princes over the years, according to Guanzhong's powerful intelligence capabilities, Guan Chinese Wu still had some understanding of Sun Quan himself.

And when Sun Ce was alive, he often praised his younger brother's talent to others, thinking that he was inferior to Sun Quan in many aspects.

Especially after Sun Ce's death, Jiangdong began to be turbulent, but Sun Quan quickly gained the approval of Jiangdong with thunderous means, and then stabilized the situation in Jiangdong.

Even if you don't consider anything else, just Sun Quan's performance this time is enough to be impressive.

More importantly, Sun Quan is not yet thirty years old, and he is the youngest person among the princes in the world, and youth is a great capital.

It was only at this time that Chen Xu discovered the difference between his thoughts and that of others.

Because of history, Chen Xu believed from the beginning that after Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan would definitely take charge of Jiangdong, not Sun Shao.

But in the whole world, the vast majority of people thought that the new lord of Jiangdong would be Sun Shao. The son inherits the father's business, which is the common heaven and earth, and it is understandable for Sun Shao to inherit the Jiangdong foundation.

However, Sun Shao is too young after all, even if he has his father's style, it is still difficult to achieve great things, so everyone will be overjoyed when they learn the news of Sun Ce's death.

The truth is so cruel, Sun Ce's death not only failed to make Jiangdong chaotic, but Sun Quan appeared on the stage, showing the style of a generation of heroes.

Therefore, Guan Chinese Wu was so shocked when he heard that Sun Quan was in charge of Jiangdong.

There are even many people who believe that Sun Quan's talent far surpasses that of Sun Ce, and after this person takes charge of Jiangdong, it will be even more unfavorable to Guanzhong.

Chen Xu sorted out the context, but couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said: "Although Sun Zhongmou is extraordinary, he is not as feared as Sun Bofu. ”

"With this person in charge of Jiangdong, why am I afraid of the princes of the world!"

When everyone heard Chen Xu's words, they couldn't help but look at their lord in amazement.

Seeing this, Chen Xu chuckled and shook his head, and said: "Be virtuous and capable, and do your best to protect Jiangdong, Sun Bofu is not as good as Sun Zhongmou." ”

"The people of Jiangdong will decide between the two Chens and compete with the world, Sun Zhongmou is not as far away as Sun Bofu!"

"If Sun Bofu is alive and the alliance of princes comes to attack, Jiangdong will be a big trouble for my henchmen; Replaced by Sun Zhongmou in charge of Jiangdong, I have nothing to fear! ”

Chen Xu changed the words of Sun Ce before his death in history, and said it upside down, and the meaning was completely different.

It is better to compete with the world for power, and it is better to protect Jiangdong's policy.

In fact, although Sun Ce seemed to be praising Sun Quan at the beginning, he did not sigh that after his death, it was difficult for Jiangdong to make progress again.

In the final analysis, although Sun Quan is ambitious, after all, his ability is limited, and it is more than enough to keep Jiangdong, but he is not able to dominate the world.

In history, Cao Cao commented on Sun Quan: Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, and Liu Jingsheng's son is like a dolphin with dog ears!

Cao Cao's implication is: If my son can be like Sun Quan, he can keep the foundation I have laid, it will be very good; If it's like Liu's son, it's just a guinea dog or something.

This sentence seems to praise Sun Quan, but in fact it is not a kind of irony, Cao Cao believes that Sun Quan is only worthy of competing with his own son.

On the contrary, when Cao Cao learned that Sun Ce had pacified Jiangdong, he was worried and uneasy, and once said: It is difficult to fight with Qi'er.

Commenting on Sun Ce in this way means putting Sun Ce on the same status as himself, Cao Cao even felt that he couldn't compete with Sun Ce.

It is completely clear which of the two evaluations is higher and which is lower.

Others don't know how Sun Quan is, Chen Xu is from a later life, and he has studied Sun Quan's life before, so he naturally won't be too jealous of this person.

In fact, Sun Ce and Cao Cao's evaluation of Sun Quan can be described as wonderful.

Many people may think that Sun Quan can become the founding emperor of Eastern Wu, and he is definitely a masterpiece comparable to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, but if you think about it carefully, it is not the case.

It must be known that Cao Cao and Liu Bei both started from scratch, and only Sun Quan inherited his father's and brother's foundation and stayed in Jiangdong all his life.

It can be said that Sun Quan is an ambitious person, but his achievements in life are ridiculous.

Throughout Sun Quan's life, except for a sneak attack on his ally Liu Bei and a surprise capture of Jingzhou, Sun Quan can be said to have made no other gains.

And Sun Quan's capture of Jingzhou was not a big failure in his life?

It was Sun Quan's betrayal of the alliance to take Jingzhou and kill Guan Yu that caused Sun and Liu to turn against each other, and the war between the two weakened the strength of both sides a lot.

It was precisely because of the bitterness between the two that after Cao Pi usurped the throne, the Sun and Liu families missed the opportunity of the best Northern Expedition, which laid the foundation for the later demise of the two countries.

Sun Quan betrayed the alliance to take Jingzhou, and to put it nicely, he was ambitious and wanted to expand his territory. To put it mildly, it's a rat-eyed, pig-like teammate.

Of course, this may be an exaggeration, but what Sun Quan did was indeed despised.

Although there is no right or wrong in war, the covenant is just a contract, and it is not enough at all, Sun Quan must at least be able to distinguish it, who is the real enemy, right?

Even if Sun Quan took Jingzhou, what happened? It's just to make Cao Wei laugh and lose his big teeth.

In addition to Sun Quan's stinky move to take Jingzhou by betraying the alliance, looking at his four Northern Expeditions, it also makes people shake their heads and sigh.

Many people know that Sun Quan sent 100,000 troops to attack Hefei, but was defeated by Zhang Liao in Xiaoyaojin.

But how many people know that the Battle of Hefei is not just that one.

In history, the Northern Expedition of Eastern Wu and the battle against Hefei added up to five times, except for the last one, the first four times were led by Sun Quan himself.

The first was the Battle of Chibi, after Cao Cao led the army to retreat, Sun Quan led the people to attack Hefei, from 208 to 209 AD.

At that time, after several months of attack, Hefei City rained repeatedly, the city wall was about to collapse, and the city was almost broken, but Cao's reinforcements were delayed.

Don't drive Jiang Ji to offer advice to the assassin Han Fu, pretending that 40,000 reinforcements have arrived in Yanlou, sending someone to steal into the city with a letter from the arrival of reinforcements, and then deliberately let Sun Quan intercept the two.

After Sun Quan searched out the letter, he thought that Cao's reinforcements had arrived, and he was immediately shocked in his heart, and hurriedly led the army to retreat, and the first battle of Hefei ended without a hitch.

Sun Quan led 100,000 troops to attack Hefei for the second time, but was killed by Zhang Liao and lost his armor and lost his troops.

Sun Quan led 30,000 troops to attack Hefei for the third time, but Wei General Manzhong sent 6,000 cavalry to ambush the Wu army and defeated it again, and Sun Quan had no choice but to retreat.

Then Zhuge Liang went on the fifth Northern Expedition and invited Sun Quan to hunt the Central Plains together, and Sun Quan personally led 100,000 troops to attack Hefei.

In addition, he sent Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin to lead more than 10,000 people to enter Jiangxia and Chukou to attack Xiangyang; Generals Sun Shao and Zhang Cheng entered Huai and marched towards Guangling and Huaiyin, forming a three-way northern expedition.

This time, Sun Quan gathered a three-way army, with more than 100,000 troops, and wanted to do his best in one battle.

The truth is so ironic.

However, he said that one of the Hefei guards at that time was full of favor, and he wanted to recall all the soldiers who had taken leave, first thwarted the enemy's spirit, and then rescued the new city, but the proposal of full favor was opposed by others.

Even, even Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming strongly opposed it.

Full of favor and dedication but not adopted, he still insisted on his own opinion and privately recruited dozens of strong men.

Under Sun Quan's incredible situation, Man Chong led the crowd to break pine branches into torches, poured sesame oil, set fire to the downwind, burned the siege equipment of the Wu army, and shot Sun Quan's nephew Sun Tai.

This surprise attack by Man Pet is actually not very lethal to the Wu army, after all, no matter how powerful the dozens of strong men are, how much damage can they do to the 100,000 army?

If it was replaced by Sun Ce, he would definitely be able to stabilize the situation quickly, but Sun Quan did not have this ability.

The killing of Sun Tai led to a great drop in the morale of the Wu army, and when he heard that Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming was about to lead troops to help, Sun Quan's Northern Expedition once again became anticlimactic and ended without a problem.

Sun Quan, as the commander-in-chief, had four consecutive Northern Expeditions, and the troops occupied an absolute advantage, but the result was unsatisfactory, not only was it difficult to advance in Hefei, but even lost troops and generals, and he was smiling and generous.

Chen Xu in later generations, every time he saw Sun Quan's Northern Expedition, he was thinking, if Sun Ce was still there, would the result still be like this?

However, Sun Ce is dead, so there are not so many ifs.

It was precisely because of knowing these that Chen Xu felt that Sun Quan had more than enough to defend the city, but not enough to be enterprising, so he didn't have to worry at all.

Now that Guanzhong occupies the general trend of the world, as long as Jiangdong can be stabilized, when the world changes, it will be okay to send troops to destroy the rest of the princes.
