The night Jiangdong Army was stationed in Moling.
A strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the night sky.
First, a dim meteor fell from the galaxy.
Dragging a long trace in the night sky.
Sun Ce happened to look up at the night sky at this moment, taking in the entire scene.
He was about to ask Zuo Ci, who was good at observing stars at night, what this meteor symbolized.
Before he could say anything, another huge meteor streaked across the night sky.
It's bigger and brighter than the previous one!
As a highly educated Sun Ce, he naturally did not believe in ghosts and gods.
He knew very well that meteor falling was actually a normal natural phenomenon.
But two meteors fell in succession, and there was no meteor shower now.
This had to make Sun Ce feel confused.
"Yuan Fang, tell me what the two falling meteors mean?"
Zuo Ci responded, took a step forward and said:
"Stars in the sky often correspond to omens on people. I think these two meteors are general stars. It is likely that they are two princes, or people who once led troops, and are about to leave the world."
Although Sun Ce is an atheist, there are times when metaphysics cannot be explained scientifically.
He stared at Zuo Ci and asked:
"Then do you know who these two general stars represent?"
Zuo Ci said softly:
"My lord, please wait a moment, Pindao will come and deduce it."
Stepping down on the Seven Star Steps, Zuo Ci triggered his fifth skill, Night Star Gazing.
Using the stargazing method passed down from our ancestors, we silently calculated and deduced.
5 minutes later.
Zuo Ci said to Sun Ce with a solemn expression:
"My lord, the first general star is dim and falls from the north of the east. It should represent Xuzhou Mu Taoqian."
Sun Ce's expression was more solemn than Zuo Ci's.
Whispering to himself:
"Tao Qian? So Liu Da'er will soon stage a painful drama of 'three concessions to Xuzhou'?"
"I just don't know if he can stop Lu Bu's Fangtian Painted Halberd and Wolf's ambition."
Not long ago, Sun Ce had received the battle report.
Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao and fled Yanzhou in embarrassment.
With Cao Cao's methods and abilities, he certainly would not let Lu Bu stab the Jubu area in the back.
But it's worth noting.
Cao Cao's process of defeating Lu Bu was not smooth sailing.
We even suffered a few defeats at the beginning.
Cao Cao learned from the painful experience and made timely adjustments to his tactics.
He also made an exception and promoted General Li Jin in the army.
This fierce general actually fought with Lu Bu for 80 rounds with no outcome.
In the end, Lu Bu was driven back by cooperating with Cao Cao's tactics.
After this battle, Cao Cao had another general at the level of "an enemy of ten thousand people".
As for where Lu Bu fled after his defeat.
You don't need to think about it to know that he must have gone to Xuzhou.
Looking at all the princes in the world, I am afraid that the one who is best bullied is Tao Qian, the Lord of Xuzhou.
Even Liu Bei, a small plain county magistrate, coveted Xuzhou.
What about Lu Bu?
Forget it, forget about these messy things.
Anyway, there is Yuan Shu between Xuzhou and Lujiang.
Yuan Shu wanted to use Sun Ce as a buffer zone against Liu Yao.
Didn't Sun Ce regard Yuan Shu's territory as a buffer between Xuzhou and Cao Cao?
This time, Sun Ce couldn't spare any time to rescue Tao Qian.
And even if he went, he wouldn't be able to save Tao Qian's life.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Sun Ce asked Zuo Ci:
"Then who does the second meteor represent?"
Zuo Ci secretly observed the change in Sun Ce's expression and took a deep breath.
Then he continued:
"The second star's energy rushed towards Niudou. Although it fell, it was still shining brightly. If this poor judge is correct..."
"I'm afraid it's the omen that's coming to Mr. Lu."
Buzz——
Sun Ce was shocked when he heard Zuo Ci's conclusion.
Lu Zhi?
How could it be him?
When he went to Danyang more than 3 months ago, Lu Zhi was still fine!
After the brief shock, Sun Ce calmed down and thought about it carefully.
The date of Lu Zhi's death is recorded in history books, about 2 to 3 years after the crusade against Dong Zhuo.
Counting the days, isn’t it just this period of time?
Sun Ce stayed filial piety for his father Sun Jian for one year, and then performed a double act with Lu Kang for half a year.
It took half a year to stabilize the situation in Lujiang.
Then he went to Xuzhou to rescue Tao Qian and repel Cao Cao, and then prepared his troops to conquer Zuo Rong.
The next three months were spent conquering various counties and recruiting elite Danyang troops.
All of them add up to exactly 3 years!
"Someone! Come quickly! Return to Shu County quickly and report Gong Lu's health condition as soon as possible!"
Sun Ce shouted anxiously.
He really cares about Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi is the actual life-saver of the Han Dynasty. Without Lu Zhi, the Han Dynasty would have been defeated by the Yellow Turban Uprising.
Therefore, Sun Ce admired Lu Zhi very much.
Furthermore, Lu Zhi has been living in Lujiang since he retired.
Responsible for teaching Zhuge Liang and the others.
They have only been teaching for three years now, and Zhuge Liang and the others have not yet started teaching.
If Lu Zhi has three strengths and two weaknesses, where can Sun Ce find a famous teacher like him?
Without the guidance of famous teachers, how could Wolong be born in the future?
How could Lu Xun burn down Baili Company Camp?
Whether it is public or private, Sun Ce sincerely hopes that Lu Zhi can live a long life.
However, many things do not develop according to personal will.
Sun Ce's words had just left his mouth.
The messenger sent by Zhuge Jin arrived first.
"My lord, Zhuge Changshi sent me to report that Duke Lu is seriously ill. Even though the old immortal master tried his best, he was helpless."
Sun Ce quickly grabbed the letter and read it carefully.
Zhuge Jin said in the letter that Lu Zhi was seriously ill and bedridden a month ago.
Yu Laoli tried every means, but still failed to cure Lu Zhi.
By the time the letter was sent, Lu Zhi was already dying.
When he was dying, his thoughts were still with Sun Ce who was away on war.
The speechless Lu Zhi.
He tremblingly handed over 2 volumes of classics, 1 volume of military books, and 1 article on national governance that he had studied all his life into Zhuge Liang's hands.
He signaled Zhuge Liang and others to study hard and help Sun Ce in the future to bring a peaceful life to the people of the world.
After reading the letter, Sun Ce was reluctant to put it down for a long time.
The battle between Jiangdong Army and Liu Yao's troops is about to break out.
It is impossible for Sun Ce to withdraw to Lujiang at this time.
Zhuge Jin sent someone to deliver this letter, but he had no intention of letting Sun Ce return.
But I want to tell Sun Ce:
Whether it was Lu Zhi on the sickbed or Zhuge Jin writing a letter, they all hoped that Sun Ce could focus on what was in front of him.
He led his army to defeat Liu Yao's troops.
This letter is actually Lu Zhi’s farewell to Sun Ce.
3 minutes of silence were observed.
Sun Ce turned around and returned to the tent, picked up his pen and wrote an ancient poem he borrowed from:
It's hard to say goodbye when we meet, the east wind is powerless and the flowers are withered.
The spring silkworm's silk will not be used up until it dies, and the wax torch will not dry until it turns to ashes.
This poem, originally a poem describing love, has been elevated to a new level in Sun Ce's writing.
It is used to praise Lu Zhi's dedication to the Han Dynasty.
Just right!
With the last finishing touch, Sun Ce threw the wolf in his hand heavily to the ground.
Called loudly:
"Gong Jin! I don't care what method you use, even if you kill eight horses, send someone to deliver this poem to Lu Gong before dawn!"
Zhou Yu nodded heavily and promised:
"promise!"
In the past three years, not only Zhuge Liang but also others have learned skills from Lu Zhi.
In his spare time, Zhou Yu often went to Lu Zhi for advice.
Over the years, I have benefited a lot.
Strictly speaking, Lu Zhi can be regarded as half of Zhou Yu's teacher.
Knowing that Lu Zhi was destined to die forever, Zhou Yu felt extremely sad.
I wish I could get a pair of wings and fly back to Shu County to visit Lu Zhi.
But... I will not accept your orders from the outside world.
How could he leave Jiangdong Army's position when the war was about to begin?
