Yizhou has a total of 22 counties, in addition to the seven counties of Yuewang, Qiqi, Zhuti, Yunnan, Jianning, Xinggu and Yongchang in Nanzhong, only Jianwei, Jiangyang, Hanjia, and part of the territory of Brazil County are in the hands of Shu Han, Wei has controlled Yinping, Wudu, Hanzhong, Wenshan and Shu County, Wu has controlled Ba County, Badong, Fuling three counties, and the remaining Zitong, Guanghan and East Guanghan are in the area where Wei and Wu are contending, and the whole Yizhou has entered the era of three kingdoms.

Especially in the Shuzhong Plain centered on Chengdu, which was originally the most prosperous and wealthy area in Shu Han, after being reduced to a battlefield, the red land was hundreds of miles, the chickens and dogs were unheard, except for the wolf smoke and beacon fire, there were only the white bones of the forest.

Both Wei and Wu fought without a rear, and could not obtain logistical supplies in Shu, and all the grain, grass, and heavy supplies depended on the transportation of thousands of miles from their own countries, and the cost of this war was undoubtedly staggering. But until the last moment, Zhong Hui and Lu Kang did not give up easily, the two were like a pair of opponents in the professional boxing ring, although they were exhausted and staggering, they both gritted their teeth and persevered, fighting for their last breath, waiting for the opponent to fall.

War is ruthless and cruel, the victor is the prince and the loser, and the history of the land of Yizhou is destined to be written by the strong.

Wuchang Palace.

Pu Yangxing, the prime minister of Eastern Wu, had just arrived in Wuchang by boat from Jianye, and he felt the oppressive atmosphere inside and outside Wuchang City, and the officials were running back and forth, with solemn expressions, and the whole Wuchang was shrouded in a gloomy cloud.

Welcoming Puyang Xing was Lu Kai, the general of Zhengbei. Lu Kai is Lu Xun's nephew. Lu Kang's cousin. He hurried to the docks. His face was also unusually cold, which made Pu Yangxing's heart sink, and it seemed that His Majesty's illness was not optimistic.

This time Puyang Xing came to Wuchang, it was to follow Sun Xiu's urgent edict, since Sun Xiu drove Wuchang in February, he has not returned to Jianye, the left general Zhang Bu and the northern general Lu Kai accompanied the king, and Puyang Xing stayed in Jianye. Preside over the affairs of the imperial court. This time, the emperor urgently summoned, although the edict did not say anything, but Pu Yangxing understood that if it were not for Sun Xiu's serious illness, he would never have summoned him so urgently.

"Jing Feng, how is Your Majesty's dragon body?" As soon as Pu Yangxing met, he asked Lu Kaidao anxiously.

Lu Kai said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty's royal drive to Wuchang this time was originally due to the great alleviation of his condition, but he was worried about state affairs every day, working day and night, and his illness sank until the end of last month. The imperial doctor has been treated in many ways, but it has not been effective. A few days ago, I heard that Chen Bing Xiangyang Shangyong of Wei State seemed to have the intention of attacking Xiling, and he was in a hurry to attack his heart, and he fell ill on the couch, looking at the situation, I am afraid it is ......"

Pu Yangxing understood what Lu Kai didn't say, and said, "Let's go, go to the palace!" Pu Yangxing knew that Sun Xiu's time was short, and he didn't dare to delay, this time Sun Xiu summoned him to come, and he had the meaning of dying entrust, he and Zhang Bu were both meritorious ministers of Sun Xiu's accession to the throne, and they also won Sun Xiu's respect, so at such a critical moment, how could he be missing.

When he arrived at the palace, Pu Yangxing met with Zhang Bu, the general of Zuo, Shi Ji, the assassin of Jingzhou, Wan Yu of Zuo Dianjun and others, and entered the palace to meet Sun Xiu.

At this moment, Sun Xiu is already terminally ill and blind, his face is sallow, his body is weak, he is just thirty years old, he is as weak as an old man of seventy or eighty years old, reclining on the dragon couch, unable to sit up.

Sun Xiu was not in good health, but after arriving in Wuchang, as Lu Kang progressed smoothly in Yizhou, Sun Xiu's mood was happy, and people were in good spirits at happy events, and Sun Xiu's illness actually improved. However, as the emperor of a country, and Sun Ti is not the kind of mediocre person who only knows the sound of dogs and horses, he has worked hard, and has always had the dream of reproducing the glory of his ancestors and fathers.

However, the bigger blow is behind, the battle in Yizhou is stalemate, which makes Sun Xiu worried, and now almost half of the troops of Wu have entered Shu, and the defense line of the entire Wu State has become extremely empty, if the Yizhou war drags on for a long time, Sun Xiu is afraid that Sima Zhao will take the opportunity to attack Wu.

I was really afraid of something, Sima Zhao withdrew Jia Chong's army from Langzhong in Shudi, and did not withdraw to Hanzhong or Guanzhong, but was directly stationed in Shangyong, led by Du Pre, and the Yanghu who guarded Xiangyang was the inside and outside, and its intention could not be more obvious. At the same time, Sun Xiu also received a report from Jiangzuo Ding Feng, saying that the Wei army stationed in Huainan was about to move, and it seemed that it had the intention of going south.

Obviously, Sima Zhao couldn't hold it back, and finally wanted to make a move on Wu Guo, Sun Xiu became depressed and sick, and his weak body could no longer support it, and he completely collapsed.

Sun Xiu knew that his limit had come, and his heart was full of hatred, why was God so mean and ruthless to himself, he even refused to give him half of his father's life time, if he really gave Sun Xiu a few more years, maybe he could really create a great cause.

But whether it is the emperor or the common people, in the face of death, it is absolute equality, Sun Xiu does not have any privileges, he knows that the invasion of the Wu army in Yizhou is an opportunity and a challenge, but it is a pity that he has no chance to witness this moment. Now that the state of Wu is in danger, if Sun Xiu is here, he can still support one or two, if Sun Xiu is not there, the prince is young, how can he support this burden.

Originally, Sun Xiu also wanted to summon Lu Kang and Ding Feng to come, but Lu Kang and Ding Feng one in the east and one in the west, they could not leave without permission, Sun Xiu had to give up, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Sun Xiu trusted only Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu, he was Sun Xiu's confidants, except for them, Sun Xiu could hardly find someone who could be trusted.

When Puyang Xing Zhang Bu and others entered the palace to meet Sun Xiu, Sun Xiu was already dying, and when he saw the ministers coming in, Sun Xiu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he struggled to sit up tremblingly with the support of the chamberlain.

After Puyang Xing paid homage, he hurriedly walked forward, hugged Sun Xiu with both hands, and cried: "Your Majesty takes care of the dragon body, and everything is discussed after the dragon body recovers." ”

Sun Xiu was already speechless at this time, listening to Pu Yangxing's words, a trace of bitter smile appeared on his pale face, as if he had exhausted all his strength, raised Pu Yangxing's arm, and pointed to the prince Sun Yudan (Note: On the rain and under the order, this word is too raw, and can only be replaced by a rain order).

Puyang Xingyan couldn't understand what Sun Xiu meant, and cried: "Your Majesty's intention is to assist the prince in ascending the throne?" ”

Sun Xiu nodded, smiled slightly, and then passed away suddenly. (To be continued......)
