Chapter 666 Great Changes in Jiangdong

It didn't take long for the news of Sun Ce's death to spread. According to Sun Ce's lifetime will, Sun Jian's second son, Sun Quan, Sun Ce's younger brother, was appointed as the lord of Jiangdong. He inherited Sun Ce's duties as the general against rebellion and the governor of Wu County. From then on, he became the head of the six counties in Jiangdong. host.

As soon as this news came out, the people in Jiangdong were in an uproar. Sun Ce was very popular among the people in Jiangdong, otherwise no one would call him Sun Lang.

Sun Ce swept across Jiangdong and pacified six counties with a sweeping force. His outstanding military ability made the people of Jiangdong fearless. But now that Sun Quan has ascended the throne, he is no more than a young man. Can he hold Jiangdong?

Danyang County, Wanling City.

"What? My eldest brother is dead!"

A young general with a rough appearance changed his face when he heard this, closed his eyes and shed tears.

"Quickly call Gui Lan and Dai Yuan to come to the hall to discuss matters. Be quick!"

This rough-looking young general is none other than Sun Yi, the third son of Sun Jian, also known as Shubi. Among Sun Jian's four sons, Sun Ce was brave in temperament, Sun Quan was deep and strategic, and the third son Sun Yi and Sun Ce were quite similar in temperament, very brave and strong.

Therefore, when Sun Ce was critically ill, a Jiangdong general proposed Sun Yi as Sun Ce's successor. After all, the two had similar personalities, while Sun Quan's personality was quite different from Sun Ce's. However, Sun Ce still insisted on choosing Sun Quan as his successor. .

Not long after, there was a sound of gentle footsteps, and two people walked into the hall one after another. One had a goatee and a deep face, and the other had a beard and a black face. At first glance, he was a rough and arrogant person.

"Gui Lan (Dai Yuan) has met the prefect."

Gui Lan and Dai Yuan were the governor and county magistrate of Danyang County respectively. After hearing Sun Yi's call, they naturally came to the hall.

"Listen carefully!" Sun Yi said loudly: "My eldest brother has passed away. I will go to Wu County in person to bury him. You two must govern Danyang County well during my absence. Do you know?"

Gui Lan and Dai Yuan were both shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other with a hint of joy in their pupils.

Sun Ce is dead? A good death!

"Okay, I will pack my bags and prepare to leave now. I will leave the military and political affairs of Danyang County to you two."

Gui Lan was the governor of Danyang County and was in charge of military affairs, while Dai Yuan was the county magistrate and was in charge of the government affairs of the county. After Sun Yi finished speaking, he rushed out without saying a word.

"Hey, Sun Ce, the little thief, died well!"

After Sun Yi walked away, Gui Lan laughed, an almost unsuppressable laughter bursting out of her mouth.

"right!"

Dai Yuan also sneered and said: "Sun Ce, a little thief, killed Duke Xiao Zhang for the sake of fame and reputation. He is finally dead. It's a natural cycle."

It turns out that Sheng Xian was the governor of Wu County at the beginning, and Sun Ce swept through the six counties in Jiangdong, so he inevitably led his army to fight in Wu County. Sheng Xian was unwilling to surrender, so he ordered the city gates to be closed on all sides and resolutely resisted Sun Ce's attack. But it is conceivable that Sheng Xian was just a scholar. He had some ability to talk quietly, but he had no military knowledge at all. In the end, Wu County was captured by Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was angry that Sheng Xian led his army to hold on, but after Zhou Yu's advice, he decided to persuade Sheng Xian to surrender. However, Sheng Xian, a scholarly man, not only refused to surrender, but also cursed Sun Ce. The young and energetic Sun Ce was so angry that he directly killed Sheng Xian.

Both Dai Yuan and Gui Lan were Sheng Xian's former subordinates, and they have always been obsessed with Sheng Xian and wanted to avenge him. However, Sun Ce had great prestige, so even if Dai Yuan and Gui Lan were in charge of the military and government affairs of Danyang County respectively, they would not dare to make mistakes at will.

However, since Sun Ce is dead now, wouldn't this be a good time to raise an army?

"Sun Yi has run away now. If he is killed on the way, then the situation in Danyang can be settled." Gui Lan said gloomily.

Dai Yuan nodded and suggested: "Wanling Bianhong is a strong man and has courage. You can order Bianhong to intercept him halfway."

"good!"

Between the two of them speaking a few words, murderous intent was revealed.

On the second day, Sun Yi led five or six cavalrymen on their way, when they were suddenly ambushed by unknown persons. Sun Yi was killed on the spot, and his chest was dented by a pumpkin hammer.

Dai Yuan and Gui Lan raised an army against Sun Quan in the name of Sheng Xian's revenge. At the same time, they claimed that Sun Ce had killed countless noble people in the six counties of Jiangdong headed by Sheng Xian when he raised his army and should be overthrown.

The two men climbed up and raised their arms and shouted, all the six counties in Jiangdong were shocked. Suddenly, an undercurrent surged, and many people were ready to oppose Sun Quan and take advantage of this great change in Jiangdong.

Yuzhang County, Xichang County.

A man wearing a brocade robe and a gloomy face was pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for something.

"Second brother."

An armored general rushed into the room. He looked very similar to this man. He had a high nose and thick calluses on his palms. He had obviously been in the military all year round.

The man with the gloomy face just now was Sun Fu, the second son of Sun Jian's brother Sun Qiang, and the armored general was Sun Fu's brother Sun Bi. Both of them were civil and military, and guarded Yuzhang County as important officials of the Sun clan.

"Brother, you're finally here." Sun Fu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Sun Bi, and then handed him the letter in his hand: "Brother, please read it quickly."

"Yes." After Sun Bi took the letter and read it, his expression changed drastically.

"What? Bo Fu passed away?" Sun Bi raised his head and looked at Sun Fu: "This is not good. The power of Bo Fu's troops shocked Jiangdong. Although the soldiers and people had complaints, they did not dare to say more. This time I am afraid."

"Brother." Sun Fu frowned and said, "Do you really think Zhongmou can control the six counties in Jiangdong?"

"Huh? Second brother, what do you mean?" Sun Bi looked at Sun Fu and his tone became solemn.

Sun Fu put his hands on Sun Ben's shoulders, stared at him and said: "Brother, Zhongmou is weak in his youth. Compared with Bo Fu, his ability is far inferior. Do you think this yellow-haired boy can still rule Jiangdong? Six counties?”

"Then what do you want?" Sun Ben asked with a gloomy expression.

"For our Jiangdong plan, our army needs a real monarch." Sun Fu said slowly: "What do you think?"

"Then tell me, who can?" Sun Ben said slowly.

"Actually, the best candidate is Liu Ye." Sun Fu analyzed: "Liu Ye supports the emperor, sits in Guanzhong, and overlooks the world. He is the number one prince in the world. It is a pity that he is separated from our army by Liu Bei and Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao is adjacent to our army and supports the Eastern Emperor, so he is a good choice. In fact, it is not bad to defect to Jingzhou, but it is a pity that my uncle died at the hands of the Jingzhou army."

After listening to Sun Fu's words, Sun Ben could not help but fall into deep thought.

At this time, Lujiang County.

Sun Shu, the prefect, summoned a group of close associates, civil and military ministers, to discuss matters in the hall, but something was strange. It was surprising because Cheng Pu, Taishi Ci and other powerful generals left by Sun Ce did not appear in the meeting hall.

"Everyone." Sun Shu said in a deep voice: "Brother Bo Fu is dead, but Sun Zhongmou, a yellow-haired boy, has succeeded to the position of Lord of Jiangdong. How can I be willing to accept it?"

"This is a letter from Dai Yuan and Gui Lan of Danyang County." Sun Shu held up a letter in his hand and said loudly: "Follow me to attack the enemy and rebuild Jiangdong!"

"promise!"
