0943 Trust and Suspicion

In the middle of March of the fifth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, quarrying rocks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zhou Yu led the navy to march to Quarry Rock.

Huang Gai, Zhang Hong, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and other subordinates of Sun Ce's military commanders led more than 500 warships along the river and waited for battle.

Zhou Yu took a small boat and hurried to Sun Ce's handsome boat.

Huang Gai, Zhang Hong and other Jiangdong ministers of civil and military affairs saw Zhou Yu's grim expression and murderous rushing straight over, and they were all frightened and uneasy. They are all old ministers in Jiangdong, and they know Zhou Yu's ability, and only Sun Ce can barely compare with him. Now that Sun Ce is seriously injured and in a coma, these people really don't have any confidence in Zhou Yu.

I didn't see Sun Ce, Sun Ben, Sun Quan and others on the handsome boat, and Zhou Yu already knew it in his heart.

He glanced at Huang Gai and the others, and asked, "How is Brother Bo Fu's injury?" ”

Huang Gai and the others' faces changed suddenly, they opened their mouths and stammered, and they didn't dare to speak for a long time.

Zhang Hong was more calm, he barely squeezed out a smile, bowed down and said: "Gongjin misunderstood, and the major general was forced to withdraw the army urgently. There was a rebellion in the Yuhang and Qiantang areas of Huiji County, and the thieves were very loud......"

"Hmph......" Zhou Yujian raised his eyebrows, glared at Zhang Hong, and sneered a few times.

Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't believe it, Zhang Hong explained: "Gong Jin, we have been defeated at the Eagle Shooting Pavilion near Chaohu Lake, and the army's spirit has been dispersed, and fighting again will only increase casualties." At this time, although the army lost the Lujiang River, it could ensure that Jiangdong did not lose ......"

"Jiangdong is not lost? It's a joke. Lujiang was lost, Jiujiang was not taken, and the two counties in Jiangbei were all controlled by Cao Cao, and he could call him at any time. And there is a rebellion in Jiangdong, and he is too busy to take care of himself, how can he have the spare strength to resist Cao Cao's attack? We were attacked before and after, how could Jiangdong not lose? Zhou Yu slapped his palm on the table and roared angrily, "Do you have any brains?" When death is on the verge of death, we can't trust each other and work together to defend Jiangdong, but we are suspicious of each other here and wary of each other. The enemy is in Jiangbei, in Jingzhou, not in Jiangdong, not in my own home, not me Zhou Yu. ”

Zhou Yu's roar echoed in the cabin, hitting the hearts of Jiangdong generals hard. Huang Gai and the others looked ashamed, bowed their heads and said nothing.

"What is the extent of Bo Fu's injuries?" Zhou Yu stood up violently, waved his arms vigorously, and shouted loudly, "If Bo Fu is in danger, the Jiangdong Navy Division must use all its warships to defend intensively on the more than 1,000-mile river from Wujun Dantu to Yuzhang Chaisang to prevent Cao Cao and Liu Biao's joint attack. The infantry armies of the four counties of Jiangdong must also immediately open up the major cities in various places to deter and suppress the rebels who take advantage of the opportunity to start an uprising, so as to quickly stabilize Jiangdong and ensure that Jiangdong is not lost. ”

"If Bo Fu's injuries are not serious, there is no need for you to abandon Lujiang and retreat to Jiangdong. You should join me in defending Wancheng and Juchao, waiting for an opportunity to defeat Cao Cao and Yuan Yao, retake Lujiang, and occupy Jiujiang County. The importance of the two counties of Jiangbei to Jiangdong is self-evident, and the loss of the two counties of Jiangbei will not only be under the attack of the enemy, but also lose the forward position of attacking the Central Plains in the north, and the difficulty of going north to conquer will be greatly increased in the future. ”

Huang Gai's heart moved, and he stopped talking.

Zhang Hong hesitated for a long time, and finally squeezed out a few words: "The major general is seriously injured, but he has been controlled, and his life is worry-free." ”

Zhou Yu sneered and strode out of the cabin.

When he walked near the hatch, Zhou Yu stopped, turned his head to look at the panicked group of Jiangdong officials, and said hatefully: "Please tell Brother Bo Fu that this is a time when Jiangdong is in danger, please believe me." I, Zhou Yu, am not a jackal, nor a treacherous, and I will not take advantage of my brother's precarious situation to provoke infighting and seize the inheritance of others. The current Koto is like a crumbling warship struggling on the rough sea, and we are all shipwrecked on this warship. If we want to survive and defend Jiangdong, we must treat each other with all sincerity and help each other in the same boat, otherwise, the ship will be destroyed and people will die, and everyone will see you under Jiuquan. ”

Zhou Yu kicked open the door of the boat and walked away.

Zhang Hong suddenly thought of something, hurriedly chased him out, and persuaded: "Gong Jin, Gong Jin...... Let's give up Lujiang for the time being, don't fight anymore. ”

Zhou Yu didn't look back, just waved his hand and left quickly.

………………

In late March, Sun Ce's naval division Chen Bing was on the front line of Dantu and Wuhu, and Zhou Yu's naval division Chen Bing was on the first line of Chungu and Chaisang, confronting Cao Cao's army across the river.

At the same time, the Jiangdong infantry army quickly rushed to the major cities of Danyang, Wu County and Huiji County, patrolling day and night to prevent accidents.

One of Zhou Yu's infantry troops stayed in Nanchang, and the other marched east by boat, stationed troops in the areas of Wancheng, Juchao and Quarry Rock.

Cao Cao kept his promise and led his army to withdraw to Jiujiang County. After Cao Cao severely damaged the Jiangdong Army, he completely gained a foothold in Jiujiang County. However, he was worried that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would join forces to counterattack Jiujiang from the direction of Liyang, and at the same time, he also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Yuan Yao and Sun Ce to seize Lujiang, consume the strength of both sides, and prepare for him to attack Lujiang and go south to Jiangdong after stabilizing Xuzhou and Jiujiang County. So he didn't hesitate at all, generously gave up Lujiang County, first returned to Shouchun to rectify the army, and stockpiled grain and grass.

Yuan Yao's forces were limited, although he took advantage of the victory to take Shucheng, but in the face of Zhou Yu's fierce counterattack, he not only failed to hold Shucheng, but even lost Longshu City, and finally had to retreat to Lu'an and Anfeng.

Zhou Yu was worried about the situation in Jiangdong, and was worried that Cao Cao would take the opportunity to attack Lujiang again, so after thinking twice, he decided to give up going north to attack Yuan Yao, and instead ordered the army to stick to the line of Wancheng, Juchao and Shucheng, and stationed heavy troops in Quarry Rock, ready to enter Danyang at any time to save the crisis.

………………

In early April, Danyang County, Yangzhou, Moling.

Jiangdong Wenwu tried his best to find the best healer to treat Sun Ce, but none of the best healers in the world today are in Jiangdong. Master Hua Tuo is in Jicheng, Master Zhang Ji is in Nanyang, and the best doctor in Jiangdong is Master Yu Ji, but this person killed Sun Ce, so Sun Ce's injuries have not been well treated, and they have deteriorated day by day, and finally fell into a coma.

At this time, Sun Jian, who had been staying in his hometown in Wu County to recuperate, rushed to Moling with his wife and daughter.

Since he was injured in the battle with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Sun Jian first fell into a coma for a long time, and then woke up by luck, and his health has not been good, so Sun Ce has been managing Jiangdong's affairs all these years.

Sun Ce's ability is not inferior to Sun Jian at all, and his development in the past few years has been smooth, so Sun Jian has been able to cultivate at home.

However, at this time, his son was also gone, and Sun Jian finally couldn't sit still.

After discussion, Sun resolutely decided to take Sun Ce and go north to Jicheng by sea, firstly to heal himself and his son, and secondly, to see if there was a chance to reach an alliance with Northern Xinjiang.

After all, Jiangdong's situation is very bad now, and it may be besieged by Cao Cao, Liu Biao and Yuan Yao at any time. And with Jiangdong's current strength, there is no way to deal with such a situation.

Before leaving, Sun Ce repeatedly told Sun Quan, who was standing by the bedside, that he must serve his mother well before he and his father returned.

Sun Quan cried and prayed and asked, "Father, eldest brother, you are all gone, how can I hold Jiangdong?" ”

Sun Jian didn't say anything, he knew the way, but he didn't know how to say it. He knew that the eldest son had a delicate relationship with Zhou Yu, and this matter was not suitable for him to speak.

Sun Ce closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said to Sun Quan: "Only today did I know that my mother's words were all right. If I listen to my mother, even if I die, how can I leave such a crisis for you to struggle with. ”

"How many times did my mother persuade me to treat Gongjin as my brother and trust him, but I couldn't do it. Maybe it's because Gong Jin is better than me in everything, I have hated him since I was a child, and I wanted to surpass him since I was a child, but I am still worse than him. ”

"What especially haunts me, and what makes me hate myself the most, is that whenever I get into trouble, the first thing that comes to mind is always him."

"Although Gongjin is younger than me, he is like my brother, every time he receives my request for help, he does not hesitate to come to me without hesitation and give me the greatest help."

"When I went south to fight Jiangdong, he helped our Sun family open up the situation, and when I went north to fight Yuan Shu, he helped me enter Shouchun. When I went west to fight Jingzhou, he helped me kill Huang Zu and avenged my father's serious injury in Jingzhou. Today, my father and I are going north, and I don't know if I can come back this time, and I have to ask him for help, hoping that he can help me hold Jiangdong and help you sit firmly in Jiangdong. ”

Sun Ce raised his head with difficulty, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Sun Quan, and said word by word: "Remember, Gongjin is your elder brother and your elder brother, you have to trust him as much as you trust your father and me." When you are in trouble, you must ask him for help. Whenever and wherever you are, you must be the first to think of him, the first to ask him for help, he will help you out of danger, he will help you achieve great things. ”

"Big brother......" Sun Quan was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and did not speak.

Sun Ce sighed bitterly, lay down on the couch weakly, looked at Mrs. Sun and said sadly: "Mother, Zhongmou, like me, doesn't believe in Gongjin, it seems that he can't keep the foundation of Jiangdong." If the situation becomes more and more critical, you will also take the whole family to the north, and you will be with your father and me. ”

Old Madam Sun cried bitterly, raised her hand and gave Sun Quan two slaps, and scolded: "Why don't you believe Bo Fu's words, is his words still wrong?" ”

Sun Quan knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again to plead guilty, raised his hand and swore that he would definitely regard Zhou Yu as a brother and trust him absolutely.

Sun Ce saw Sun Quan swearing by the curse, so he was a little relieved and explained to him in a whisper.

Sun Ce said: "Zhongmou, I know what you are worried about, but if you think about it carefully, you know that Zhou Yu will definitely not dare to send troops east at this time to compete with you for the three counties of Jiangdong." ”
