Wujun,
Sun Ce has been "dead" for so long, and no one has been able to take care of his funeral affairs. To be honest, it really shouldn't be the case. Although there have been memorial ceremonies all over Jiangdong, there has never been a formal ceremony. There was no way, Mrs. Wu didn't come back, Sun Quan didn't come back, no one in Jiangdong dared to overstep the authority. Including Sun Yi, once he did it, it was equivalent to him treating himself as the head of the family. Therefore, even if people kept trying to persuade him with various reasons, Sun Yi, who was still sober, never took this step.
now,
When Mrs. Wu and Sun Quan finally returned, they immediately set up a mourning hall so that "Sun Ce" could rest in peace and accept everyone's worship.
In the mourning hall, Sun Quan was dressed in all white, sitting solemnly, his expression as gloomy as possible. Well, this was already the saddest posture he could assume.
Not far away, headed by Mrs. Wu, a group of female relatives, together with Sun Shangxiang, Sun Kuang and other young brothers and sisters, were crying loudly and endlessly. They were all sobbing. They had been in this state for several days. It's been an hour. Sun Quan's eyelids jumped when he saw it, and at the same time he had to admire his mother, Mrs. Wu. As the only insider, Mrs. Wu's grief-stricken look made Sun Quan almost unable to help but think that his eldest brother Sun Ce was really dead. Sure enough, women are all born to be movie stars, they can't be compared, they can't be compared.
Among all the female relatives, Sun Jian's concubine Mrs. Ding cried no worse than Mrs. Wu. Those who didn't know might have thought that Sun Ce was born to her. But among that group of people, there was an outlier, and Sun Quan couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Big Joe!
Da Qiao, who was dressed in white and plain, was the only one among the swaying crowd who was sitting upright. Unlike the others whose faces were full of tears, there was no trace of tears on Da Qiao's face. She didn't shed any tears at all from beginning to end.
Even though she was dressed in plain clothes, she could not hide her stunning beauty, and even in this situation, it added a poignant and pitiful look. However, those pale and lifeless eyes made the beautiful Da Qiao look like a soulless puppet.
My heart is filled with despair, that's probably what I mean. Da Qiao has not yet passed, but Sun Ce has no wife or children. Due to the power of the Sun family, Da Qiao has to appear here as the hostess. It can be said that this is tantamount to a death sentence for Da Qiao's future life. Therefore, knowing that his current performance would be criticized, Da Qiao didn't have the heart to care so much. As expected, what awaits her is a lonely life with a green lantern and a withered Buddha.
Sun Quan secretly sighed, waved his hand lightly, and flew toward Da Qiao without leaving a trace. This method could not hurt anyone, but Da Qiao didn't have any precautions or preparations, and was knocked unconscious by Sun Quan. Soon someone exclaimed that Mrs. Qiao had fainted. Mrs. Wu immediately ordered someone to help Da Qiao to rest.
"Lord, it's better not to do any unnecessary actions."
Behind Sun Quan, Zhou Yu reminded him in a low voice. Zhou Yu was definitely not the only one to notice Sun Quan's behavior at the scene. It would not be good if this led to excessive interpretation. If people think that Sun Quan is still interested in Da Qiao, it will be very bad for Sun Quan's reputation. In the future, when Sun Ce returns, there will be more crazy words.
"The impact will be even worse if someone sees her like this later." Sun Quan said calmly.
"That makes sense." Zhou Yu nodded, agreeing with Sun Quan's words. It's not just insiders who have come here these days. If Da Qiao's behavior is seen by outsiders, it will bring shame on the Sun family.
Now, outside, Sun Quan is the overlord of Jiangdong; inside, he is the head of the Sun family. Everything he says and does, everything he thinks, must be for his family and his own power. From this point of view, Zhou Yu is a little bit narrow-minded, but there is no way, who can tell Zhou Yu to know the truth. On the surface, Zhou Yu was assisting Sun Quan, but in fact, Zhou Yu was assisting Sun Quan for Sun Ce! Therefore, Zhou Yu did not think about the problem from Sun Quan's perspective. He always judged the pros and cons from Sun Ce's perspective.
"My lord, you will need to personally receive the representatives from Cao Cao's Xian Emperor, Liu Biao's representatives, and Yuan Shao's representatives later. Of course, these are just a formality. However, there is something you must make a quick decision about. , that is how to deal with Sun Hao." Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan, "Everyone from Jiangdong to Jiangdong is watching. If it is not handled properly, it may be a very bad start."
You must know that Sun Hao planned to seize power at that time. If Yu Fan hadn't stopped him, Jiangdong might have been torn apart now. If Sun Quan treated Sun Hao lightly out of family ties or family pressure, it would probably make the guy who was already ready to take action become even more unscrupulous.
Therefore, according to Zhou Yu's idea, he naturally hopes that Sun Quan can be reprimanded. At this time, he must destroy relatives for justice and ignore personal feelings. Only in this way can he deter others.
"In addition..." Zhou Yu continued, "After dealing with Sun Hao, we must set off as soon as possible and rush to the upper reaches. On the other side of the Lujiang River, Sun Bi and Xu Kun are working together but not in the same direction. I am afraid it will not be so easy to capture Li Shu. Li Shu dares to stand on his own at the first time. Not to mention the importance of Lujiang County, just for the sake of the Sun family's face, such repetitive villains must be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will have no deterrent to the outside world."
Sun Quan rubbed his brow,
"Recapturing Lujiang will definitely make Cao Cao nervous. Why not use it as a buffer with Cao Cao so that Cao Cao can resist Yuan Shao with peace of mind. Let's go to Jingzhou first?" Sun Quan said.
Zhou Yu shook his head,
"I'm afraid it's hard for Cao Cao to be Yuan Shao's opponent. It's best if Cao Cao can resist Yuan Shao, but he's afraid of being defeated like a mountain. Without the Lujiang River as an obstacle, if we see something is wrong, we can at least seize Emperor Xian first. By then, , maybe we will temporarily unite with Liu Biao to fight against Yuan Shao." Zhou Yu said, "Of course, as long as Cao Cao can maintain a stalemate with Yuan Shao, then we will capture Jingzhou immediately. Be prepared for both, this is not inconsistent with our priority to recapture Lujiang. "
The biggest difference between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu is that Sun Quan has great confidence in Cao Cao, while Zhou Yu has very little confidence in Cao Cao. Therefore, the two people's decision-making will have completely different biases. Zhou Yu did not deny the possibility of what Sun Quan said, but he was biased towards Cao Cao's defeat. Once Cao Cao was defeated, a chain reaction would be in which various civil servants and generals would defect to Yuan Shao one after another. In addition, Cao Cao's camp was already unstable. The defeat was very fast and very complete, so Zhou Yu believed that they must seize the opportunity, at least occupy a favorable geographical location in advance.
"My lord, Sun Bi, Xu Kun and I are already at odds with each other. If I go, the situation will only become more chaotic and no one can convince anyone. Now only you can personally come forward to stop the internal strife between them. No matter what Whether to seize the Lujiang River or not, this is a top priority!" Zhou Yu reminded.
