In Nancheng County, in the county government hall, Sun Quan was wearing an official robe, sitting there quietly looking at the official documents, lifting the pen from time to time and circling the official documents.

Sun Quan, whose name is Zhongmou, is Sun Jian's second son and Sun Ce's second brother.

Sun Quan was born with purple hair and blue eyes, fine eyes, square mouth and a strange appearance, which is different from ordinary people. Since childhood, he has both civil and military skills, and in his early years, he fought the world with his father and brother, and was very good at riding and shooting, often riding horses to hunt and shoot tigers, and his courage was slightly outstanding.

After Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce, as the eldest brother, has been doing his best to take care of the whole family, Sun Ce has a total of four younger brothers, a younger sister, in addition to his sister Sun Shangxiang and younger brother Sun Lang are born to his aunt, the second brother Sun Quan, the third brother Sun Yi, and the fourth brother Sun Kuang are all brothers of his siblings.

However, among the many younger siblings, Sun Ce is the most important is the second brother Sun Quan, and the relationship with Sun Quan is also the best.

After Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, in order to train Sun Quan, he appointed Sun Quan as the county magistrate of Nancheng County as early as possible.

At that time, the bandits in Nancheng County were rampant, and the mountains were rampant, and Sun Quan only brought a hundred relatives to take office. At that time, the bandits and Shanyue in Nancheng County felt that Sun Quan was too young and incompetent, so they were very active, and took this opportunity to intimidate Sun Quan.

Sun Quan broke the usual style of new officials taking office three fires, within three months, did not issue a single decree, the bandits in Nancheng County thought that Sun Quan was afraid of them, and committed crimes more unscrupulously, and even led the army to the county town three times, to demonstrate to Sun Quan, wanting Sun Quan to feel afraid and leave by himself.

Just one hundred days after Sun Quan's arrival, Sun Quan suddenly put on his horse and led a group of troops who didn't know where they came from. Suddenly attacked the hinterland of the bandits. The bandits were negligent in their defense. was caught off guard, and the big and small leaders were captured and beheaded in this battle.

This kind of thunderous attack has shocked the large and small bandits in Nancheng County, and even Shanyue, who has always been fierce among the people, is also afraid of Sun Quan.

It turned out that after Sun Quan arrived, he didn't seem to do anything on the surface, but in fact, he secretly recruited 800 warriors and trained them secretly. That's when we had an army that could fight.

However, Sun Quan had fewer troops and could not start a large-scale battle with the bandits, so he could only rely on surprise attacks. Sun Quan sent people to blend in with the bandits' team and found out the location of the bandit leader, so he joined forces with the outside and cleaned up the largest group of bandits in Nancheng County overnight.

Then, Sun Quan used the same means to kill 5,000 thieves in three days, and shocked the southern city. The bandits all left Nancheng County because they were afraid of Sun Quan. Some of the bandits were reorganized by Sun Quan and reorganized into an army as a force to protect the territory and the people.

On the issue of Shanyue, Sun Quan's approach was different from that of his brother Sun, who advocated the principle of Fu and opposed the conquest of Shanyue, and suggested that the people of Shanyue should be conscripted into the army to become official soldiers and fight for Sun.

After that, Sun Ce accepted Sun Quan's opinion, formally ceased war with Shanyue, and agreed on mutual non-aggression and equal treatment.

Because of this, the Jiangdong Sun clan was able to come out of the quagmire of fighting Shanyue.

After Zhang Yan imposed economic sanctions on Jiangdong, which once caused great panic in Jiangdong, Sun Quan learned about it, so he played Sun Ce, suggesting that a caravan be formed to go to Jingzhou and Jiaozhou for trade, reverse the losses caused by economic sanctions to Jiangdong, and advocated crossing the sea to Liaodong, conducting secret trade with Gongsun, and buying horses from Liaodong.

Sun Ce forwarded Sun Quan's suggestion to Zhou Yu and asked Zhou Yu's opinion, Zhou Yu felt that Sun Quan's opinion was in line with what he thought, and praised Sun Quan's resourcefulness, so Sun Ce ordered the formation of a caravan to conduct foreign trade, and gradually reversed the losses caused by Zhang Yan's economic sanctions to Jiangdong.

Although Sun Quan was extremely active, Sun Ce never rewarded Sun Quan, nor promoted Sun Quan, and sat in the position of Nancheng County Commander for three years.

In the past three years, Sun Quan has also grown from an ignorant and immature teenager to a promising young man with a strong understanding of literature and martial arts, and has governed Nancheng County in an orderly manner, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. In the past three years, Sun Quan presided over the construction of countless canals in Nancheng County, which irrigated the county's farmland and increased the county's grain production.

This is such a person, who is only nineteen years old now, sitting in the hall and seriously approving the official documents of the county.

At this time, a burly, sturdy man strode into the hall from the outside, and as soon as he entered the hall, he immediately hugged his fists and presented a letter, saying: "My lord, Nanchang urgent!" ”

After hearing this, Sun Quan immediately put down the work in his hand and hurriedly said to Zhu Huan who was standing in front of him: "Show me!" ”

This person's name is Zhu Huan, a native of Wu County, Wu County, the word Xiu Mu, is now the county lieutenant next to Sun Quan, responsible for commanding the county's soldiers and horses, and is also a general who Sun Ce arranged for Sun Quan to protect him.

Zhu Huan is brave and good at fighting, often taking the lead, killing the enemy, is the first warrior around Sun Quan, and is also Sun Quan's cronies.

Zhu Huan handed the letter to Sun Quan's side, Sun Quan took the letter, opened it and read it hurriedly, his expressionless face looked extremely sad, and his hands broke out in cold sweat.

"My lord, is there something big going on?" Seeing this, Zhu Huan hurriedly asked.

Sun Quan hurriedly said: "Hurry up and prepare the horse, I want to go to Nanchang!" ”

It was the first time for Zhu Huan to see Sun Quan so nervous, and he knew the seriousness of the matter, so after making a "whoosh", he immediately turned around and walked out.

Sun Quan clenched his fists, held the letter tightly in his hand, and hurriedly walked out of the hall, looking particularly panicked.

When he arrived at the stable, Zhu Huan had already prepared the horses, Sun Quan walked to the side of the horses in three steps and two steps, jumped onto the horse, and jumped on the horse's back, without saying anything, he shouted "driving", and immediately rode out of the horse.

Zhu Huan saw Sun Quan in such a hurry, and with his understanding of Sun Quan, he knew that something must have happened. The letter came from Nanchang, and Sun Ce was training in Nanchang at this time, could it be that something happened to Sun Ce?

Zhu Huan didn't dare to think about it anymore, he smacked his mouth several times, and shook his hand and slapped his mouth, secretly scolding himself for not talking nonsense with this stinky mouth.

Zhu Huan was relieved that Sun Quan was not relieved, and he also brought a war horse from the stable, jumped on the war horse, and rode out, and when he left the gate of the county government, he informed his subordinates and let the county official Zhu Ran take charge of all affairs in the county.

After the arrangement, Zhu Huan chased Sun Quan non-stop, and rushed for an hour before catching up with Sun Quan.

Sun Quan saw Zhu Huan coming, he didn't say anything, he was sad and angry, his eyes were already soaked with tears, and Zhu Huan went back and forth, sleeplessly, and quickly went to Nanchang.

Nancheng County and Nanchang are only separated by a county, almost 200 miles apart, Sun Quan and Zhu Huan rushed with sadness, Nancheng County, which left at dusk, arrived in Nanchang City the next morning.

As soon as he arrived in Nanchang City, Sun Quan couldn't wait to see Sun Ce, and when he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he was stopped by the people arranged by Zhou Yu. Sun Quan fought hard, wounded several gatekeepers, and broke into the palace with a shout.

Zhou Yu was in Sun Ce's room, and when he heard a noisy sound outside, he immediately came out to see what was going on, and when he saw Sun Quan coming, he retreated left and right, and let Sun Quan enter the room with him, while the rest of the people all stayed outside the courtyard, and no one was allowed to enter without an order.

As soon as Sun Quan entered Sun Ce's room, he smelled a strong smell of herbs, which hit his face, and the choking people were extremely uncomfortable.

He forcibly resisted the pungent smell of medicine, walked quickly to the bedside, and saw that Sun Ce was still unconscious, his face was blue-black, and the quilt covering his thighs was also stained with blood, he lifted the corner of the quilt and peeked secretly, but saw that the flesh on Sun Ce's thighs had rotted and emitted a violent stench.

When he saw this, Sun Quan couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, and hot tears burst out of his eyes, flowing down his cheeks, and dripping to the ground.

Zhou Yu saw that Sun Quan was crying silently, so he hurriedly walked over and said to Sun Quan: "Zhongmou ......"

"Has my brother been in a coma like this?" Sun Quan directly interrupted Zhou Yu's words and asked.

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Did the assassins catch it? Who sent it? Sun Quan asked again.

Zhou Yu was silent, just shook his head.

Sun Quan gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "Let me know who harmed my eldest brother like this, I must let him die a good death, pick his skin, pull his tendons, drink his blood, and eat his flesh......"

Seeing this, Zhou Yu was also injured. Since he and Sun Ce met, they have always been like brothers, Sun Ce was assassinated, and the poisoning became like this, and his heart was not comfortable. Moreover, he also has to preside over the overall situation in grief, block the news, and not let outsiders know about Sun Ce's situation, otherwise, he is afraid that Jiangdong will cause panic.

The assassin was not caught, and Zhou Yu did not know who wanted to harm Sun Ce like this, after all, when Sun Ce conquered Jiangdong, he killed many people, some of whom died innocently, just because he refused to obey Sun Ce's drive......

Sun Ce's hands were stained with blood, and under the iron-fisted Jiangdong, there were many seeds of revenge hidden, and there were too many of these unsettling factors.

Of course, it is also possible that the assassin is from outside, if it is an external assassin, then it must have nothing to do with Zhang Yan, Sun Ce is a thorn in Zhang Yan's side, a thorn in the flesh, since he can't get rid of Sun Ce head-on, he sent someone to assassinate him, this method is too insidious.

At this time, Zhou Yu was no longer in the mood to think about who the murderer was, no matter who the murderer was behind the scenes, Sun Ce would die because of it. Poor Sun Ce is in his youth, but he doesn't want to encounter such an accident......

Zhou Yu was no longer hypocritical, and said to Sun Quan straight to the point: "Zhongmou, the lord doesn't have much time left, Jiangdong can't be left without a master for a day, you are the brother of the lord, and you are also the most important one in the lord's life, I hope you can turn your grief into liliang, take over the lord, and hold up a piece of the sky in Jiangdong!"
