Great Wei Nengchen

On the top floor of the building ship, Sun Ce slowly came to his senses, feeling the pain relieved a lot, he sat up slowly, opened a window with his own hands, and looked at the distant army formation, his eyes were as bright as a bright moon!

"Great, my husband is in good spirits today, presumably he has recovered from his injuries, we can go home... woo woo!"

Seeing Sun Ce sitting up, Da Qiao was pleasantly surprised, and then, tears flowed down her cheeks. She already understood that her husband's health is not getting better, but the last flashback when the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dying!

"We got married as husband and wife. We wanted to grow old together forever, but God's will tricks people and left halfway... I really want to watch the baby be born and grow up!"

Sun Ce gently wiped away his wife's tears, and stroked her swollen abdomen, feeling the movement of the little fetus, his eyes full of reluctance, full of strong fatherly love!

"Husband and wife are one body, life and death are shared, if something happens to the husband, he is willing to go with him as a wife, but he is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the husband, so he dare not say death easily... I am thinking in my heart, if I give birth to a lin son, what will happen to the orphan and widow?" Survival?"

Da Qiao's father, Qiao Xuan, was a famous minister of the Han Dynasty. He had successively held positions such as Da Situ, Da Sikong, and Taiwei. He had ups and downs in his official career and rich experience. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, the Qiao sisters also had a certain political vision. Just a simple sentence, Just hit the nail on the head!

Mrs. Da Qiao is pregnant, and the child will be born in more than a month. If it is a little girl, then everything is easy to talk about. A stunning beauty!

Daughter of Sun Ce and nephew of Sun Quan, with her status, this daughter will be a "Jiangdong Pearl". After a few years, she will choose a young hero as her husband. Under the protection of the clan, live a carefree life for a lifetime!

On the contrary, if Da Qiao gave birth to a boy, things would be much more troublesome. The foundation of the six counties in Jiangdong was created by Sun Ce. Grandson, this child is born with the right to inherit, so he is caught in a political whirlpool!

The second son, Sun Quan, is taking over the position now. In a few years, he will marry a beautiful wife, have children, and then cultivate them carefully. Next, the problem will arise. As the overlord of Jiangdong, he must establish a If there is an heir, will the power held by Sun Quan be passed on to his own son, or to the eldest brother's son?

The father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother ends up with the younger brother. The position of the overlord of Jiangdong should be passed on to his son or returned to his nephew. I am afraid no one can tell. Both heirs have the right to inherit, and a fight is inevitable. Like the Lu State in history, because of the chaos of the succession of the throne, it caused the chaos of the fifth generation. Brothers fought, uncles and nephews killed each other, the country was in turmoil, and the national power plummeted.

What is even more depressing is that this kind of struggle cannot be avoided. Just imagine, after Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong, in order to consolidate his position, he must promote some confidantes, civil and military, and place them in key positions, gradually replacing the old department of the elder brother. A courtier', power changes, it is bound to be so, there has never been an exception in history!

But will the old minions who have been replaced be willing to hand over their rights? People are not sages, who have no selfish intentions, how can they let others be rich and powerful, in order to keep their rights, these people will definitely find a way!

Because of the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, it is definitely not possible to confront directly. The best way is to push out Sun Ce's son and compete for the heir's seat, so as to restore their political paradise. In this way, the Jiangdong Group will be divided into two, and each other will fight endlessly. Even swordsmen meet!

When two tigers fight, there is bound to be an injury. No matter who wins or loses, it is the sorrow of Sun's blood. I am afraid that the foundation of the six counties in Jiangdong will not be able to hold on. It is like two trees growing from one root system. The only way is to cut off one branch and keep the other branch. Sun Ce understands this simple truth, and Sun Quan also understands it!

In this world, you can’t be closer than a husband and wife, and you can’t be closer than a father and son. Whether it’s family affection or political considerations, other people’s obedient and well-behaved children are not as good as your own "prodigal son". Sun Quan was in power in Jiangdong at the time, just like a man with a sharp knife If the gardener chooses to cut off the branch, it is not difficult to judge, right?

"Brothers, fathers and sons, uncles and nephews... the struggle for power, destroying humanity, will the descendants of the Sun family also want to kill each other?"

Thinking of the horrific consequences, Sun Ce couldn't help sweating. Without a "protector", his unborn son might not be able to grow up. Even if Sun Quan didn't do anything, his confidantes would "kill the harm in advance!" '

The problem is, who will be the 'guardian'? This person must be extremely intelligent, occupy a high position, hold a heavy army, and have enough power to stand up to Sun Quan. Only in this way can he protect Da Qiao and the children. Most importantly, this person must be loyal and worthy of entrustment!

"Zhou Lang and I are brothers and sisters, and we have a close relationship. Their martial arts and intelligence are the best in Jiangdong. He is a loyal and trustworthy person, and he will protect your mother and child's safety!"

After a little thought, Sun Ce decided to entrust Zhou Yu to Zhou Yu. Of all the civil and military officials in Jiangdong, he trusted Zhou Yu the most. This kind of friendship even surpassed that of brothers!

"There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Dare I ask my lord, who should entrust the lives of our mother and child after Zhou Gongjin?"

After hearing her husband's arrangement, Mrs. Da Qiao frowned slightly, but she didn't let go of her worries. She heard an anecdote that when Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were young, someone criticized their fate. Heroes in troubled times are jealous of talents, and their longevity will not end'... Now, Sun Ce is about to die young, and Zhou Yu is probably not a long-lived person either!

Once Zhou Yu died halfway, no one in the Jiangdong Group would be able to resist Sun Quan. At that time, with the struggle for power, Sun Ce's posthumous son might die at an early age!

"That's right!...Gong Jin is so sharp, I'm afraid he is not a long-term person. If there is such a day, you mother and son will leave Jiangdong and go to Xiao Yi, and you will live a safe and sound life!"

As a father, he must protect his children. He closed his eyes and meditated for a long time. After thinking about it, Sun Ce gently said the second "guardian"--Ghost Face Xiao Lang!

"Husband is seriously injured, are you already confused? Xiao Yi is Jiangdong's great enemy, and each other is irreconcilable. From ancient times to the present, how can there be anyone who relies on the enemy alone?"

Da Qiao was dumbfounded, she could fit three eggs into her small cherry mouth, her husband's injuries were all caused by Xiao Yi himself, if their mother and son went to seek refuge, wouldn't that be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

"Xiao Yi and I fight on the battlefield, everything is only for the country, and we have no personal grudges against each other. Besides, Xiao Lang - be proud of the superior but not humiliating the inferior, bully the strong but not the weak, and will never bully the orphans and widows. Tell me in the future Son: Don't think about revenge, treat Xiao Lang like your biological father, serve him sincerely, and you will be safe!"

Panting for the last word, Sun Ce's energy was exhausted, his heart was broken, and he fell headfirst on the soft couch. Looking at the sunset in the sky, he slowly closed his eyes... A generation of overlords finally came to an end!

....................................................................................

In the fourth year of Jian'an - spring, on February 25th, Jiangdong's army stopped at Zhenjiang City. A few days later, a grand military parade was held. The second son, Sun Quan, held a sword and leaped in front of the horse.

At dusk and sunset that day, the little overlord, Sun Ce, died on the building boat because of his serious injuries. He was only 25 years old. It is said that when he was dying, he whispered in his mouth: "The world is fighting for hegemony... the ghost face Xiao Lang... who is the hero?" ?”

On February 28th, the Jiangdong army continued to set off. In order to appease the hearts of the people, the funeral was kept secret for the time being. After returning to Wu County, Sun Ce was buried in a three-layer silver coffin. , and then go to the earth to be safe... So far, the bright moon has fallen, the sun has risen, the Jiangdong regime has been replaced, and the Sun Quan era has officially entered!

Chapter 868

Two flowers bloomed, one for each. When Sun Ce died, Sun Quan came to power, the sun and the moon changed, and the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River changed hands, the [-] troops led by Xiao Yi went north and entered the territory of Xuzhou, where they were stationed under the important town. In Picheng, one is to recharge your batteries and rectify the troops; the other is to collect food and grass to supplement military supplies!

As the saying goes: "Kill one thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred yourself." In the Battle of Huainan, the Jiangdong army suffered a disastrous defeat. More than half of the troops were lost, and they retreated to their hometown in desperation. Similarly, as the winning side, Cao Jun also paid a heavy price. , tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and injured, and a large amount of ordnance, food, and horses were consumed... It is not too much to say that it is "five tuberculosis and seven injuries"!

No matter how elite the army is, after a big battle, it needs to be refurbished before it can be used on a new battlefield. Therefore, Xiao Yi temporarily stationed troops in the Pi, and supervised the generals of all ministries every day to treat the wounded and replenish their equipment. Some recovered their combat power and went north to rescue Guandu battlefield!

As for the issue of food and grass, it is the top priority of the Caoying Group. The war has been going on for more than half a year. Cao Ying has invested hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the number of young and strong civilians exceeds one million. As for the food and grass consumed, it is countless Well, the government treasuries of Sizhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou have been exhausted. In order to raise food and grass for the army, a group of internal affairs officials, Xun Yu and Xun You, have worked so hard day and night that their hair has almost turned gray!

The land of Xuzhou has a large population, developed commerce, and the benefits of fishing and salt. It is known as "the richest southeast". With the army marching past, the logistical supply is even more difficult. Within a month, Cao's army should be completely defeated!

The problem is that it is not easy to raise food and grass. Since the start of the war, Xuzhou has provided money, food, and civilians to support the two major battlefields in the south and the north at the same time. None, if you want to forcibly recruit, the people of Li will be cannibalized!"

As for Chen Qun's words, Xiao Yi half-believes, the Governor-in-Chief has worked hard day and night, and he has fulfilled his duties. Xuzhou's treasury is indeed empty, and the people's power is also exhausted, but there is still a lot of food and grass , but not in the official treasury, but hidden in the private treasury!

Xuzhou has a profound heritage and a gathering of gentry. These powerful families occupy a large amount of land and population, and intervene in commercial operations, amassing countless money. In their private warehouses, gold and silver are piled up like mountains, and food and grass are countless. Come out, enough to support the Guandu battlefield and maintain the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops!

Of course, it is not an easy task to pluck the hair from a big family. As the governor of Xuzhou, Chen Qun has also thought about this, but he hit a wall everywhere and sprayed countless saliva, but none of the big family is willing to donate food. It's not that he's not capable enough, it's that he has a last resort!

Mencius once said: "Government is not difficult, and it is not difficult to offend the rich." Chen Qun, as the governor of Xuzhou, wanted the place to be safe and orderly, so naturally he did not want to offend the powerful and powerful, so he could only persuade him with kind words. They didn't dare to threaten with force, but the result was very ineffective. Besides, their Chen clan is a well-known powerful family, so how could they betray their own camp?

"This is the military order of the Great Sima: All the rich and powerful families in Xuzhou will come to Xiapi City within five days to participate in the celebration banquet of the Southern Expedition. Those who dare to refuse will do so according to military law!"

It is said that the elites are as fierce as tigers, and they cannot be touched easily. Xiao Yi doesn't believe this evil, but wants to touch the tiger's butt, and then pluck out some hairs fiercely, to see if their necks are hard, or his knives are faster?

Of course, Xiao Yi's daring to challenge the powerful family is not blindly reckless. Naturally, he has something to rely on. First of all: he has held the position of Xuzhou Mu and has been in power for more than a year. He has a large number of contacts and profound influence. The wealthy family is very understanding, and can do "know yourself and know your enemy, and win every battle!" '

Secondly, he is now the chief minister of the dynasty, and he has left the ranks of local officials. Be obedient, they know exactly what 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' means!

In the end, Xiao Yi is not afraid of the reprisals of the gentry. He has a high position and power, and he holds a large army. In today's world, the only person who can restrain him is his own father-in-law. However, Cao Cao has always promoted the poor and suppressed the gentry. How could he punish his son-in-law for raising military rations?

Based on the above three points, Xiao Yi set up a "Hongmen Banquet" and invited the nobles to come. As long as they come to Xiapi City, they will fall into the trap. If anyone dares not to come, it will be easier. He disobeyed the military order, ransacked and beheaded all over the house, left no chickens and dogs behind, and confiscated all his property!

All of a sudden, there was an uproar in various parts of Xuzhou. Those powerful and patriarchs, knowing that there was no good fruit to eat, still brought generous gifts, sat in gorgeous carriages, and gathered in Xiapi City. Of course, they connected in private , Who wins and who loses in the end depends on the level of means?

..........................................................................................

late at night! -Outside Xiapi City-Xuanjia Army camp-Inside the tent of the Chinese Army!

Xiao Yi was wearing a battle robe of hundreds of flowers, reclining on a soft wolf fur couch, his rib wound was neatly bandaged, exuding a strong smell of medicine, but his whole body was full of energy, tasting a pot of good tea, since he was injured, He has never drunk fine wine, so he can only use tea instead of wine to comfort himself, not because he doesn't want to sneak a few sips, but there is really a powerful supervisor--Dao Xiang!

The little girl is 13 years old this year. She is so innocent and cute. She is definitely a little beauty. According to the rules of the Han Dynasty: "Women who are fourteen and older can have children." Therefore, Daoxiang is also considered a big girl. , You can talk about marriage and choose your husband and son-in-law freely!

As a disciple of Hua Tuo, Dao Xiang possesses superb medical skills, and with her relationship with the Marquis of Wuchou, there are naturally many suitors, but the little girl wanders around the big tent all day long, looking into Xiao Yi's eyes , the sweetness almost dripped out, and a little hidden thought can be seen by people!

This is not surprising, Xiao Yi holds a heavy army and has outstanding military exploits. He is known as the "No. 1 General of the Great Han". I am secretly admiring him, "When you marry a wife, you should marry a daughter of the Cao family, and when you marry a man, you should marry a ghost-faced man." This is not empty talk!

For this matter, Xiao Yi didn't mind anything, as the saying goes, do as the Romans do, the civil and military officials of the Han and Manchu Dynasties, those are not wives and concubines. Let Daoxiang grow up a bit, and it won't be too late to officially marry her!
