In Guangling City,
Dou Yuru stood next to Chen Deng's body, which had been covered with black cloth.
"How do people die?" Dou Yuru asked. To this question, Sun Quan's answer was: "Chen Deng acted against heaven and was punished by heaven." Dou Yuru believed that he was responsible for such nonsense, so she came to investigate by herself.
"I heard that his death was very strange." He replied.
"Oh? Why is it weird?" Dou Yuru raised her eyebrows.
"When Chen Deng died, he spat out a large mouthful of blood, and there were... bugs in the blood." The speaker also swallowed, feeling a little horrified by the content of his words.
Dou Yuru's face suddenly darkened a bit. As the Lord of the Demon Sect, she would naturally not be frightened by this little scene. What Dou Yuru cares about is the information revealed behind it - Sun Quan actually has a power that even she doesn't know about! And this power, in terms of means, is definitely not that of Cihang Jingzhai, it is even darker than her Demon Sect!
"No wonder they surrendered so quickly." Dou Yuru murmured in a low voice. Since even Chen Deng, who was protected at all levels, could die without knowing it, let alone others? Who dares to rebel against Sun Quan?
????????????
at the same time,
"My lord, traces of Zhang Liao's troops have been discovered."
"Where is Hefei?" Sun Quan asked.
"Governor Zhou has led his army to retake Hefei! The enemy general Le Jin took advantage of the chaos to abandon the city and escape." The soldier reported excitedly.
Sun Quan smiled softly and praised,
"Brother Zhou is indeed Brother Zhou. I understood my purpose without even consulting him."
Because of the life and death Gu, Sun Quan could take Chen Deng's life at any time. The reason why he gave three days was that Sun Quan's goal was not Guangling from the beginning, but Hefei on the other side.
Chen Deng was cautious and would never send troops by himself. In contrast, Zhang Liao was much more aggressive, which can be seen from the previous battle of Hefei. In the Battle of Hefei, even with Zhang Liao's few men, he dared to take the initiative to sneak attack "Sun Quan" who had a heavy army.
Therefore, Sun Quan expected that Chen Deng would continue to hide away, and Zhang Liao, who got the news, would secretly set out from Hefei to steal Sun Quan's retreat!
"It's a pity that Le Jin ran away."
With that said, Sun Quan got up and went out.
????????????
At the same time, Jiangdong,
Diao Chan took Sun Deng and left with a group of core disciples of Cihang Jingzhai.
Today is different from the past. Sun Deng is no longer Jiangdong's sole heir, so Mrs. Wu did not send anyone to stop him. People's hearts are already separated, even if they are forced to stay, it will only cause trouble.
Within a day, Guangling and Hefei returned to Jiangdong one after another. Sun Quan, as always, shocked the whole world!
Diao Chan put down the secret message she had just received and sighed slightly.
"With this victory, no one in Jiangdong will dare to stop him from becoming king."
Originally, everyone thought that Sun Quan came back this time to deal with the mess. Not to mention the fall of Guangling in Hefei, the entire Jiangdong was quarreling over his claim to be king. But now, no one dares to argue. Even Emperor Xian dare not say "no" to Sun Quan at this juncture!
"There are still many knowledgeable people in Jiangdong, please keep in touch. If you are willing, come with us." Diao Chan ordered that from now on Jiangdong will be Sun Quan's voice, and Sun Quan will soon have total power.
Saying that, Diao Chan paused and looked thoughtfully to the north.
If Sun Quan didn't lie to her when he was in Xuzhou, then Sun Quan's goal this time was neither Guangling nor Hefei. Sun Quan was probably going for Zhang Liao!
He wants to avenge Chen Wu!
But at this moment, Diao Chan's expression changed, and a hidden arrow flew from a distance. At the same time, countless men in black raised their swords and attacked her team.
"Break out immediately! Don't be obsessed with fighting!"
At this moment, Diao Chan was heartbroken. She would not be so stupid as to deceive herself and others. In this Jiangdong belly, besides Wu Jun, how could anyone else have such power?
Sun Quan, do you really want to be so heartless?
????????????
A few days later,
Jianye,
Sun Quan returned triumphantly with a great victory. Not only did he easily recapture the two strategic locations of Hefei and Guangling, he also captured Cao Cao's general Li Dian!
The palace, in front of the palace, preparing to go to court.
Sun Quan, who was standing in the first place, suddenly tilted his head and said to Zhou Yu behind him,
"I suddenly understand Cao Cao a little bit."
"Understand Cao Cao?" Zhou Yu was a little surprised.
"Our Majesty always likes to test himself on the edge of death." Sun Quan said.
Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and nodded thoughtfully. Immediately, Sun Quan told Zhou Yu a few names, and Zhou Yu immediately waved and sent someone to deal with it on the spot.
It turned out that Sun Quan had used the Sansi illusion simulation just now and discovered that even though this was the case, there were still people who dared to oppose him becoming king. Needless to say, it was naturally the arrangement of Emperor Xian.
These few people who dared to speak must have put their life and death at risk, but staining the hall with blood was not a good thing after all. So Sun Quan was too lazy to bother and took these people into custody outside the palace first.
Just like that, in the horrified look of countless people, several ministers were escorted away by soldiers. Sun Quan turned around, looked at everyone one by one, smiled suddenly, and said,
"Don't be so formal, everyone. Today is a good day to reward merit. As for those colleagues just now, they have been leaving early and coming back late recently. It's too hard, so I asked them to go back and rest for a few days. It's nothing serious. .”
"The Lord's benevolence and righteousness, and his consideration for his subordinates are truly a blessing to Jiangdong." Everyone praised him.
this day,
Zhang Hong wrote a letter praising Sun Quan's dozens of achievements and requesting the emperor to make Sun Quan king.
Emperor Xian is ready to play.
Sun Quan stepped forward and proposed to make the fierce general Chen Wu a marquis.
Emperor Xian is ready to play.
Sun Quan proposed the imperial examination system for the country to select talents.
Emperor Xian approved the memorial, and at the same time appointed Sun Quan as the examiner of the imperial examination.
No one expected that Sun Quan, who had been widely discussed in the past, had braved the world's disapproval to become king, but now he would be stolen from the limelight by this so-called imperial examination. The reason why it was unexpected was not only the policy itself, but also the fact that Sun Quan didn't even get the slightest hint of it beforehand. Sun Quan only gave a general outline in the court. As for the details, everyone was waiting for Sun Quan to announce them.
"There's something I'm curious about." After retreating from the court, Zhou Yu asked Sun Quan.
Sun Quan: "About the imperial examination?"
Zhou Yu: "No. As for why you didn't kill Li Dian."
"Oh? Brother Zhou, do you have no objection to my imperial examination system?" Sun Quan said unexpectedly.
Zhou Yu smiled faintly and replied,
"After losing Cihang Jingzhai, you should find a way to replace it. Yes, this may disturb the foundation of some noble clans, but you chose the right time. At this time, no one dares to make trouble. What do you want to do? , just do it boldly, we will all support you behind you!"
"Jiangdong is expanding and there is an urgent need for talents. I understand. So if you spared Li Dian's life, are you trying to recruit him to surrender?" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan and asked.
"I'm no saint."
Sun Quan replied like this.
