When Zhou Yu wrote to Sun Ce, reminding Sun Ce to take precautions.
Wujun.
Wu County.
Government office.
Mrs. Wu had someone call Lu Yi over and accompany her and Sun Ren to wander in the garden.
First, it is to let his daughter and Sun Ren meet more and deepen their relationship.
Secondly, Mrs. Wu has also been a little uneasy recently.
When Sun Ren first met Lu Yi, he always felt awkward.
We have met a lot during this time and found that Lu Yi is very easy to talk to.
The most important thing is that Lu Yi seems to know a little bit about everything.
What excited Sun Ren the most was that he discovered that Lu Yi was not only able to read and write, but what few people knew was that he was also proficient in swordsmanship and archery.
This is exactly what she practices on a daily basis.
Moreover, Lu Yi's swordsmanship and bow skills were even better than hers.
He even gave her guidance a few times.
Unlike her brother who looked impatient when giving instructions, Lu Yi always looked kind and cheerful, no matter how clumsy she was, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
At this moment, seeing Lu Yi and his mother walking beside him, talking and laughing, Sun Ren looked at Lu Yi with a silly smile.
Although I didn't like him at first.
Now it seems, not bad.
Mrs. Wu saw Sun Ren smirking at Lu Yi and said angrily: "Ren'er, why are you giggling?"
Sun Ren came back to his senses and quibbled: "No, it's nothing. I just feel that you two have a lot to talk about, and it seems like you can't finish it."
Mrs. Wu sighed faintly and said: "Ren'er, you are too heartless."
"Every day, you know how to wield a knife and a gun."
"Did you know that Bo Fu hasn't replied to your letter for a long time?"
"Every time he went on an expedition, in order not to worry us, he would have the soldiers come back with letters home every five to ten days, telling us everything that happened to him."
"But this time, it's been twenty days and there's still no letter from home."
"The strangest thing is that there were reports from Kuaiji County that they had successfully suppressed the bandits and the Baiyue people, and after retaking the territory, there were no battle reports."
Sun Ren chuckled and said, "Is there a possibility that my brother is having fun hunting in Kuaiji and doesn't want you to disturb him for a while? Who told you, mother, to always nag him in his ears?"
"Many times, my brother complained that his ears were getting calluses."
Lu Yi said: "Madam is also worried about the general's safety."
"The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles."
"The most pitiful parents in the world."
Sun Ren stuck out his tongue.
Will say good things!
No wonder mother likes you!
Mrs. Wu looked at Lu Yi with a smile and said, "Look at Jun Li, how good he is at talking!"
"Your father died young and it was your mother who raised you up."
"To be honest, my mother would rather you grow up healthily than fight everywhere."
Mrs. Wu frowned and said, "It's not that simple to become famous and achieve great success."
"After your father left, I often thought that life is only a few decades, and everything is nothing after death. In this case, why not be an ordinary person, live well, have children, and have children."
Sun Ren smiled and said: "Mother, tell my brother what you said and see if he will listen to you! I support my brother and want to restore my father's glory!"
Mrs. Wu looked at Sun Ren with disappointment, shook her head and said, "How can you restore the glory of a daughter's family? Give Junli good children and be a good mother. This is my mother's expectation for your life."
Sun Ren curled his lips and said, "How old is the child?"
Mrs. Wu was about to scold her.
At this moment, a figure rushed in.
It is Song Qian, the newly appointed governor of Wu County.
Song Qian, one of the generals under Sun Jian.
Sun Ce used the Imperial Jade Seal to exchange him, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others from Yuan Shu.
After that, he followed Sun Ce in the north and south, and made great achievements in battle.
This time Sun Ce sent troops to Kuaiji, but he did not take Song Qian with him. Instead, he asked him to take over Zhu Zhi's position as governor of Wu County and cooperate with the Cavalry Commander Cheng Pu to jointly defend against Yuan Shu's sneak attack.
Song Qian was a man of few words.
On weekdays, he would not take the initiative to come to the government office unless Mrs. Wu came to his door.
Now he took the initiative to find him!
Mrs. Wu's heart skipped a beat, she stopped, looked at Song Qian and said, "Song Commander, what happened?"
Lu Yi had already received information from Lu Su.
Seeing Song Qian stop in front of Mrs. Wu, hesitant to speak, Lu Yi sighed secretly.
He avenged Sun Ce's great revenge for the governor of Lu Kang.
He expected to be relieved.
But, actually, not at all.
Instead, it felt like a sigh.
Lu Yi moved closer to Mrs. Wu.
This Mrs. Wu lost her husband in her early years and now her eldest son in her middle age.
I don’t know if I will pass out directly later.
Seeing Song Qian's hesitation, Mrs. Wu's legs and feet felt a little weak, and she said in a trembling voice, "What do you mean? Is Bo Fu injured?"
Sun Ren was also anxious and urged: "Speak quickly! I'm so anxious!"
Song Qian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes, looked at Mrs. Wu and Sun Ren, and stammered: "My lord suffered revenge from Xu Gong's retainers in the northern suburbs of Kuaiji, leading a group of bandits and hundreds of people." The people of Yue ambushed the lord."
"All those who accompanied him, except Shi Huan, the captain of the Guards, were all killed in the battle."
"Now, Zhu Zhi, Huang Gai, Han Dang and He Qi are escorting the lord back and are about to enter Wu County——"
Before Song Qian finished speaking, Mrs. Wu collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, Lu Yi was by his side and was ready. He hugged her and ran into the back room.
Sun Ren was also stunned on the spot.
After a while, she let out a piercing scream.
In the government office, Sun Quan and others who were studying heard the screams and ran out one after another.
When Song Qian saw Sun Quan and others, tears rolled down his face, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Second Young Master, my lord died in battle. Zhu Zhi, Huang Gai, Han Dang, He Qi and others are transporting him, transporting him, his - —”
Song Qian still hasn't finished speaking this time.
The entire government office erupted in wailing.
Lu Yi carried Mrs. Wu into the back room and asked his servants to watch the medical staff diagnose and treat her. He immediately notified Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and other ministers to go to the city gate to greet Sun Ce.
Sun Ce's sudden death in battle left everyone stunned.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong walked in front of the civil and military officials like zombies.
When we rushed to the south gate of the city, we saw Zhu Zhi, Huang Gai, Han Dang, He Qi and others, dressed in plain clothes, coming slowly.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong knelt down, prostrated themselves on the ground, and burst into tears.
After welcoming Sun Ce's remains into the Wu County government office, early the next morning before dawn, Cheng Pu and others rode over on war horses.
The entire Wu County was immersed in sadness.
There are silk threads hanging everywhere.
The soldiers all looked solemn.
Lu Yi transferred many servants and experienced old men from the Lu family to help with Sun Ce's funeral.
During the funeral, Mrs. Wu could hardly get out of bed.
Sun Quan was only fourteen years old, and he was stupid with several younger brothers.
They do whatever others tell them to do.
Without calling them, they just stood still.
Lu Fan also rushed over from Guangling to attend Sun Ce's funeral.
On the first day after Sun Ce was buried, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Song Qian, Lu Fan, Tai Shi Ci, Lu Yi and others held a meeting in the government office hall of Wu County, Wu County. .
The entire hall was dead silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
Zhang Zhao's eyes were also swollen from crying during this time.
Although he felt disappointed with some of Sun Ce's recent actions.
However, Sun Ce was good at fighting and a young hero, and he also recognized him as a candidate for hegemony in the world.
Now, suddenly it's gone.
His blood ran cold.
Thinking about the past two years, first the Zhou family of the second and third princes was destroyed, the head of the Zhou family Zhou Yi was killed, and now the lord Sun Ce was killed in battle, Zhang Zhao had the idea of retiring to the countryside.
But, he also knows.
Sun Ce's courtesy to him during his lifetime prevented him from retreating from the battle.
He wanted to complete Sun Ce's unfinished business.
Now, choosing the right heir is the most important thing.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Zhao spoke first with a hoarse voice: "My lord died in battle. Now, revenge is not the top priority."
"Xu Gong is dead. His disciples, bandits, and people from Baiyue are just a bunch of rabble."
"Killing them will certainly avenge the lord, but it will not bring the lord back to life."
"And now, there are more important things than revenge for the Lord."
"The Lord wanted to restore the glory of his father before his death, to dominate Jiangdong, and even to unify the country in the future."
"Now that the master has died young, we have to choose a qualified heir to take over for him."
"My lords, put aside your sorrow and start doing things."
"If my lord has a soul in heaven, I believe that he would not want to see everyone immersed in grief."
"Moreover, now that Cao Cao and Lu Bu are encircling Yuan Shu, we must make up our mind as soon as possible whether to participate again."
"And only the new lord can decide these things."
Cheng Pu took a long breath and said, "How do you decide this?"
"Although my lord has children now, how old are they?"
"If there is peace in the world, everything will be easy, and we will do our best to help."
"But now that the world is in chaos, we are in turmoil, and Jiangdong is not yet in our hands. We are in danger of being destroyed at any time."
"Although I'm sorry, lord, I don't think your children can bear this heavy responsibility."
Cheng Pu's words made everyone look over.
If anyone else said this, they would be scolded or even beheaded on the spot.
But Cheng Pu was a loyal minister during the periods of Sun Jian and Sun Ce, a veteran general in both dynasties, and had made countless meritorious deeds.
What he said must be for the good of the Sun family.
Although some people were dissatisfied, no one refuted.
Seeing that Cheng Pu was the only one speaking, Zhang Zhao looked at the others with a sullen face and said, "Masters, don't you have any other opinions? If the lord's children cannot bear such a heavy responsibility, then who will inherit the lord's legacy?"
Everyone lowered their heads and fell silent.
Zhang Zhao heavily patted the cases around him and said, "Speak!"
However, everyone still dared not speak.
Zhang Zhao was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
At this moment, several figures walked in from the back room.
It was Sun Ren and Sun Quan who helped the haggard Mrs. Wu out.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhao hurriedly saluted and said: "Madam!"
Everyone then saluted and said, "Madam!"
