The news of Sun Ce's death spread quickly.

The lord of Runan changed from Sun Ce to the 12-year-old Sun Quan, the young hero.

The news spread to Wancheng first.

After the victory in Duyang City, Hua Yu did not withdraw his troops immediately, but went to Wan City first, waiting for the changes in Yuzhou.

Sun Ce's death was basically within Hua Yu's expectation.

Sun Quan's succession was basically within Hua Yu's expectation.

Sun Jian, his son and others, Sun Jian and Sun Ce, are all masters of progress, and only Sun Quan has the ability to be conservative.

Aggressive and conservative, don't think that aggressiveness is better than conservative, but the opposite.

To use a common saying, it is easy to dominate the world, but it is difficult to sit in the world.

Historically, Sun Ce opened up the land of Jiangdong, but he did not sit firmly.

As soon as that bad temper came up, he killed many people. As a result, the conflict was intensified, and he himself was assassinated.

But after Sun Quan came to power, he adopted a policy of appeasement first, but the situation in Jiangdong was stable, and then he gave both grace and power.

Sun Quan has been in Jiangdong for decades. Except for Shanyue who often rebelled, those gentry were very honest.

Upon receiving the news, Pang Tong laughed and said, "My lord, Sun Ce was seriously injured and died. His younger brother Sun Quan succeeded him. He is only a 12-year-old boy, so he can't influence the lord anymore."

Tai Shici also cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, my lord."

"Sun Ce's defeat made Cao Cao dare not send troops again. He just waited for General Huang to defeat Ma Teng's army, and Liangzhou would be in the lord's pocket."

Hua Yu touched the short beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "It seems that you all think that this Sun Quan is not as good as Sun Ce?"

Hearing Hua Yu's question, Pang Tong and others were taken aback, what do you mean?
Originally, several of them really thought so.

But what kind of person is Hua Yu?

So, Pang Tong and the others, you look at me, I look at you, dare not speak easily.

Seeing this, Hua Yu laughed loudly and said, "It seems that you don't know much about Sun Quan."

"I have nothing to do today, so I will talk to you."

After a pause, Hua Yu continued: "When it comes to bravery and the ability to expand territory, Sun Ce is indeed much better than Sun Quan."

"However, it is absolutely impossible for Sun Ce to bear the burden of humiliation and work hard, but Sun Quan can."

As soon as Hua Yu reminded him, Pang Tong immediately reacted: "What the lord means is that if Sun Ce does not die, he will definitely pay off the shame of this defeat and raise troops to take revenge."

"And after Sun Quan takes the throne, he will inevitably endure the humiliation and negotiate peace with the lord, so that he can have time to work hard and make a comeback?"

Hua Yu nodded approvingly: "That's right, that's right."

Zhang Xiu didn't take it seriously: "My lord, Sun Jian was injured by the lord's hand, Zu Mao died by the old lord's hand, Cheng Pu died by Dian Wei's hand, Sun Ce was seriously injured by Jiang Xu's hand, and finally died."

"In conclusion, the Sun family has a sworn feud with the lord, so how can Sun Quan negotiate peace with the lord?"

Hua Yu laughed loudly and said: "Han Xin's humiliation, Gou Jian endured hardship, but if he wants to get a chance in adversity, he will not bear the humiliation, will there be any results?"

"If Sun Quan raises his troops to take revenge immediately, it will only bring about destruction."

Zhang Xiu sighed slightly: "If this matter is for the junior general, the latter will definitely not endure the humiliation."

Pang Tong said with a smile: "To endure what ordinary people can't, this is the ability of a master, so, Youwei, you can only be a general."

At this moment, Hu Che'er came in and reported, "My lord, Sun Quan sent an envoy, Lu Fan, to ask to see my lord."

Lu Fan?

One of Sun Ce's civil servants, a political strategist, is quite eloquent.

Pang Tong immediately said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really good at predicting things, and my subordinates are very impressed."

Hua Yu laughed and said, "Well, you Pang Shiyuan, you learned how to flatter horses at a young age."

"Che'er, let Lu Fan come in. Gu wants to see what conditions Sun Quan can promise to make Gu's heart move."

"Here." Hu Che'er responded, turned around and left.

After a while, Lu Fan drifted in.

"Lu Fan pays his respects to Duke Wei."

Hua Yu smiled lightly: "Ziheng doesn't need to be too polite, just watch the seats and serve tea."

"Thank you, Duke Wei." Lu Fan thanked him and came to the guest seat to sit down.

After Lu Fan sat down, Hua Yu asked calmly: "Zi Heng has come at this time, could it be that Sun Quan wants to avenge his brother Sun Ce and sent you to fight?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, Duke Wei misunderstood." Lu Fan hurriedly explained, "My lord ordered me to come here because I want to turn hostility into friendship with Duke Wei."

"My lord has already found out that the tomb of the former lord was dug, not by Duke Wei, but by someone else."

"The eldest son didn't know the truth and was bewitched by the villain. This offended Duke Wei's majesty, so that he was defeated and died."

"The new owner of my family is smart and wise. He analyzed the matter again and found that the matter has nothing to do with Duke Wei, so he ordered me to come and pay a visit to Duke Wei, and the two sides reconciled."

Hua Yu gave Pang Tong a wink, and the latter understood, and immediately sneered: "Sun Bofu said he doubted my lord, so he immediately sent troops to invade my territory."

"Right now, you are defeated, and Sun Zhongmou wants to say a misunderstanding again, so can you treat it as if it never happened?"

"Our army suffered heavy losses, not only a lot of casualties, but also a great loss of money and food. Shouldn't your lord share a part or two of this debt for my lord?"

Lu Fan thought to himself that it was not as expected by the governor, Hua Ziyi would inevitably mention casualties and loss of money and food when he opened his mouth.

The Yuzhou army lost [-], which was a huge loss, far exceeding Huayu's loss.

In fact, to be precise, all the food, grass and ordnance of the Yuzhou Army fell into Hua Yu's hands, and he basically suffered no losses in this battle.

Lu Fan hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Wei Gong said seriously, this matter is indeed my eldest son's fault."

"However, after this battle, my eldest son has already lost his life."

"Wei Gong is a man with a big heart, so he shouldn't care too much about a dead man."

"However, the sincerity of this alliance is indispensable."

"The First Lord has three daughters. The eldest daughter, Sun An, is 15 years old this year. She is quite beautiful and has not yet been betrothed."

"The second daughter, Sun Hong, is 11 years old, and the third daughter, Sun Ren, is just seven years old."

"That's why, my lord wants to betroth the young lady to Duke Wei, and the two families will become good friends of Qin and Jin. From now on, fighting will become martial arts. I don't know what Duke Wei wants?"

Marriage?

This is the most commonly used routine in Chinese history for thousands of years, and it is also a very effective routine.

Generally speaking, as long as the woman's identity matches and her appearance is outstanding, the marriage will be successful.

As he said that, Lu Fan took out another painting from his sleeve and unfolded it: "For Wei Gong, this is the portrait of my young lady, please have a look at it."

Everyone immediately looked at the portrait in Lu Fan's hand. The woman in this portrait is really outstanding in appearance, not inferior to the women in Duke Wei's mansion.
