At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Originally, he could still be awake for a period of time every day, but since December, Sun Ce fell into a long-term coma.

And more importantly, since he was injured, he hasn't got out of bed, and his body is getting weaker and weaker. Zhou Yu can feel that Sun Ce's body is getting weaker and weaker.

Sun Ce has never been a person who can calm down to heal his injuries, and the recent news has never been good. The famous doctor has been telling him not to be angry, not to get angry, but how can Sun Ce control it?

It has been two days since the last time he was in a coma. Sun Ce did not wake up in two days. The elders and younger generations of the Sun clan were all pale with fright, and they all gathered in Duke Wu's mansion to wait for the news.

Zhou Yu was the first to get the news. Sun Ce woke up and asked Sun Quan to come to Zhou Yu directly and not tell anyone else.

Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked Sun Quan how Sun Ce was doing.

"Brother's complexion is still good, and his body seems to have recovered."

Sun Quan's face showed joy.

"........."

Zhou Yu's body trembled, but he didn't say what he wanted to say, so he quickly followed Sun Quan to Sun Ce's back room, and saw Sun Ce leaning on the bed, eating under the service of his attendants.

"Bo Fu."

Zhou Yu stepped forward quickly and looked at Sun Ce. Seeing Sun Ce's ruddy complexion and bright eyes, the ominous premonition in his heart became more and more serious.

"You go out."

Sun Ce waved his hand, sent away the attendants who were feeding him, and then beckoned to let Sun Quan and Zhou Yu go together.

"Gongjin, Zhongmou, I will entrust it to you. After that, you have to treat Zhongmou like me, assist him, and protect our country of Wu."

Sun Ce smiled, took Sun Quan's hand, and also took Zhou Yu's hand.

Sun Ce's first sentence made Zhou Yu and Sun Quan foolish.

"Big... big brother, what are you talking about?"

Sun Quan didn't understand what Sun Ce was saying.

Zhou Yu didn't seem to understand either.

"I made it very clear. Gongjin, Zhongmou, and Wu Guo, I will leave it to you."

Sun Ce said with a smile: "I know my own body. I'm about to die. I don't have to. But Wu Guo is related to too many lives. I don't have any other suitable people to entrust. My son is still too young. , only Zhongmou can entrust.

Zhongmou, starting from today, you are the king of the state of Wu, and you are the Duke of Wu. You must shoulder this responsibility to protect the state of Wu and our family. If you have any problems, just ask your brother Zhong, and he will tell you what to do. How to do it, you have to be obedient, don't learn to be a brother, you know? "

Sun Ce stared at Sun Quan.

Sun Quan stood there stupidly, looking at Sun Ce with a dull expression on his face.

"Bo Fu, you..."

"Gongjin, I know you are worried about me, but I am aware of my own situation. I can't hold on anymore, but the country of Wu can't live without a king, and the country can't live without a king. Among the clan, the only person I am optimistic about, There is only Zhongmou, but Zhongmou is too young, Gongjin, Zhongmou, I will entrust it to you."

Sun Ce held Zhou Yu's hand tightly.

Zhou Yu reacted, and immediately squatted in front of Sun Ce's bed, shaking his head repeatedly.

"Bo Fu, you're fine, you can hold on, you'll be fine! Bo Fu! You're only 24 years old, you'll be fine! Bo Fu!"

Zhou Yu's tears welled up in his eyes all of a sudden, and they couldn't stop flowing out.

"Gongjin..."

Sun Ce bit his lips tightly, trying not to let tears flow out, but his eyes were also red.

Sun Ce knew that what he did was the only feasible and correct choice, and he had no other better choice to make.

It was his own incompetence that made Wu Guo and himself fall into this situation, and he didn't think it was anyone else's fault.

He is responsible for his mistakes and pays for his mistakes.

In his heart, he even felt that death was actually a kind of relief.

He really couldn't take it anymore.

Facing such a powerful Guo Wei regime, he really couldn't hold on.

"Zhongmou is too young and hasn't experienced many things. After that, I need you to raise a little bit more. You have to help Zhongmou gain a foothold. Zhongmou is safe, and Wu Guocai is safe. The Jiangbei side is not something we can predict. But what happened in Jiangdong is something we can do.

Gongjin, I will appoint you to be the governor of the state of Wu, to be in charge of all military affairs, no matter if it is a local tyrant, a mountain, or a scholar, whoever dares to make trouble, you have to eliminate them one by one. Only when Jiangdong is stable can we resist Jiangbei and Jiangdong are not stable, we will die without a place to be buried. "

Sun Ce began to explain his last words.

Sun Quan was still standing there stupidly, Zhou Yu was still rational although his face was full of tears and his eyes were red.

"I know that I am impulsive, I know that my character is too rough, and I also know that I have not listened to you a lot, Gong Jin, if I could listen to you more, maybe we would not lose So miserable, so embarrassing."

Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan again: "Zhongmou is calmer than me, and more knowledgeable than me. Zhongmou will definitely listen to Gongjin's persuasion, but Zhongmou has never led troops to fight, and he is a little weak in this aspect. Without you I'm afraid I won't be able to control my subordinates, so I can only rely on you, Gong Jin."

"Bofu...don't say it, don't say it, I promise you everything, don't say it, don't say anything..."

Zhou Yu felt that he was surrounded by great sadness, never felt such deep sadness.

In the end, Sun Quan still didn't figure out how he became the lord of Wu and became the Duke of Wu.

Anyway, before Sun Ce's sick bed, Sun Ce announced in front of everyone that Sun Quan would be his successor, as Duke Wu, and as the king of Wu.

He also appointed Zhou Yu as the governor of the state of Wu, in charge of military and political affairs throughout the country.

Right in front of Sun Ce, the generals staying at Jingkou bowed down to Sun Quan, accepting Sun Quan's position on their behalf.

Even though they were just as anxious and uneasy in their hearts, in the end, Sun Ce was still alive.

As long as Sun Ce is still alive, in their view, it is different from Sun Ce's death.

After the fiasco, Sun Ce can be said to be their only spiritual sustenance. If Sun Ce is gone, can they really entrust their future to Sun Quan, who is only 17 years old?

no one knows.

But Sun Ce's body was indeed collapsing day by day.

On the third day after that, Sun Ce sent someone to call Zhou Yu into his bedroom alone.

This time, it was no longer the red-faced Sun Ce who faced Zhou Yu, but a Sun Ce who was described as haggard and dying.

"Gongjin, I'm embarrassing you."

Sun Ce stretched out his hand weakly, and took Zhou Yu's hand.

Zhou Yu in turn held Sun Ce's hand tightly.

"This is the foundation you and I laid down together. This is the achievement we made together. Bofu, I will definitely protect it for you."

Zhou Yu had tears in his eyes and a smile on his lips.

However, Sun Ce just shook his head.

"Gongjin, I understand better than anyone else that there is no tomorrow in the country of Wu. From the time I was defeated, we have no tomorrow. We have lost all our vitality and lost all our capital. Duke Wei's army is on the north bank. Du, is it very difficult?

Duke Wei is too strong. Even with all our power, we can't defeat Duke Wei's border guards, one of Duke Wei's generals, or even one of his generals, let alone Duke Wei himself?Duke Wei only sent Gu Yuantan and took Lu Shi away. What if Duke Wei came in person?

Gong Jin, we were not born at the right time, we were not born at a good time, what a hero Wei Gong is, but isn't it the greatest tragedy to be born at the same time as a hero like Wei Gong?Future generations will only remember that Sun Bofu overestimated his strength and was defeated and died. Who will remember Sun Bofu's ambition?

The land of Wu is narrow, the population is small, the soldiers and people are poor and weak, and they are already overwhelmed. If they want to go north and make progress, they have to recruit more soldiers and horses, but can Jiangdong still gather so many soldiers and horses?Even if you can make it out, will you obey orders and commands?

They feared me when I was there, but who would they fear when I was not there?Zhongmou?Zhongmou is not enough, Zhongmou is too young, his ambition is not on the battlefield, he can defend his achievements, but he is not aggressive enough, if he cannot get Lujiang and Jiujiang, sooner or later the state of Wu will be conquered by Duke Wei..."

Sun Ce said a lot in one breath, and said a lot.

Zhou Yu kept wiping the tears from the corners of Sun Ce's eyes, and also wiped the tears from the corners of his own eyes.

"Bofu, don't worry, I will take care of Zhongmou for the rest of my life. I will work with Zhongmou to complete the unfinished business for you. We will definitely win the second county of Lujiang and Jiujiang!"

"Gongjin..."

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu's face full of guilt and reluctance.

"If I hadn't called you here with a letter, you would definitely follow Wei Gong now and have a brighter future. It was I who harmed you, Gong Jin, it was I who harmed you..."

Sun Ce held Zhou Yu's hand with all his strength: "If you can't do something, Gong Jin, don't force it, don't force it, you can live, that is my greatest wish, Gong Jin, I can't harm you for the rest of my life, I can't harm you ...cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough..."

Sun Ce coughed so hard that he was so breathless that he collapsed on the bed, and looked at Zhou Yu who was crying with all his strength.

"Gongjin...if there is an afterlife...will you still be Sun Bofu's best friend?"

"..."

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce, squeezed his hand, and said, "If there is an afterlife, Zhou Gongjin is still Sun Bofu's best friend, and Zhou Gongjin will come to find Sun Bofu in person, Bofu, don't forget Me, when I look for you, don't forget me! Don't... forget..."

Zhou Yu didn't finish his sentence because Sun Ce could no longer hear him.

Sun Ce on the bed had already closed his eyes, and Zhou Yu could no longer feel a trace of Sun Ce's aura.

There was a slight smile on Sun Ce's face.

I don't know if at the last moment of his life, he returned to Shu County, Lujiang ten years ago, and met that beautiful young man Zhou Gongjin who came to visit in person on that sunny afternoon.

Chapter 602 610 Sun Ce is dead

On December 17th of the fifth year of Xingping, Wu Gong and Sun Ce died of serious injuries. The title of Wu Gong and the position of Wu Guoguojun were handed over to his [-]-year-old brother Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou.

Sun Quan ascended the throne hastily in a daze, and with the support of Zhou Yu, he accepted the audience of Wu Guoqun's officials.

However, this is not the end of one story, but the beginning of another.

Sun Ce's death couldn't be concealed at all, and Sun Ce didn't seem to want to hide it. He freely admitted that it was in line with his usual style of doing things, but this caused Zhou Yu a lot of trouble.

Even if Sun Ce is defeated, even if his prestige is lost, he is still the head of the business, and still has a little energy to unite people's hearts.

Outsiders will resist him and bully him, but those who follow him to start a business will still remember their old feelings and follow him.

But when Sun Ce died, everything changed.

Sun Quan did not fight any battles with Sun Ce, nor did he make any military exploits. He relied on Zhou Yu's support to sit on the position of the king of Wu. He had no prestige, and he had no relationship with the people who started the business.

Sun Ce has worked very hard, at least he did not let his son, who is not yet two years old, be the king, but passed the position to the young Sun Quan.

Even so, Wu Guo's hearts were scattered.

Those who followed Sun Ce because they admired Sun Ce's prestige and were inspired by Sun Ce's charisma lost confidence in Wu, thinking that Wu would be a pill sooner or later, so they chose to leave.

It was not the departure of the locals in Jiangdong, but a large number of old people who followed Sun Ce across the river from Jiangbei to Jiangdong to start a business left.

They left without saying goodbye, left everything in Jiangdong, and crossed the river with the old and the young, heading for the Guowei regime.

There is no hope for the country of Wu, so everyone will get together and get together. If there is a destiny, see you in the world.

When Wu Jing and Sun Jing on the front line were fighting on two fronts, these people abandoned the Sun Wu regime they had fought for and chose to go north, which shows how important a charismatic and prestige leader is to a power group .

It's a pity that the Sun Wu regime no longer has such good leaders.

Having said that, this was also caused by someone Guo, because he was too strong, and his Guo Wei regime was stronger than the Cao Wei regime in another time and space at the same time, which made people in the Sun Wu regime see no hope and future, so , they simply chose to leave.

Zhou Yu and Sun He, an important minister of Sun Wu's clan, tried their best to persuade them together, so to speak, a group of people remained, and after all, Sun Wu's central core did not collapse immediately.

Then Zhou Yu had to block the news of Sun Ce's death, and only wrote to Sun Jing and Wu Jing to let them know in private, don't let the army know, don't let the army's meager will to fight because of Sun Ce's death And completely collapsed.

Zhou Yu knew that this news would leak out sooner or later, but at least let the army know later. It would be great if he could win a time gap and win Wu Jing and Sun Jing to defeat the Shanyue rebels.

Even so, amid such turmoil, the already fragile foundation of the Sun Wu regime was severely damaged, and it suddenly showed a precarious situation.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu used the prestige he gained from following Sun Ce's campaigns for many years to maintain the situation, but it didn't let the situation collapse immediately, and gave the Sun Wu regime a chance to breathe.

But would anyone not take advantage of such a great opportunity?

Jia Xu quickly learned the news of Sun Ce's death through Sun Ce's old subordinates who crossed the river to Xuzhou to survive, and then quickly sent people across the river to spread the news, especially those who were rebelling or who were afraid of rebelling temporarily because they were afraid of Sun Ce's existence. Know.

At that time, both Sun Jing and Wu Jing were leading their troops to fight against the powerful Shanyue United Army, and the battle situation was stalemate.

Sun Jing and Wu Jing both suffered from Wei Jun's battle flag, so they sent people to declare in the army that the people on the opposite side were not Wei Jun, but Shanyue thieves and local tyrants. The man was not wearing the armor of the Wei army.

The soldiers of the Wu army gradually came to their senses and tried to fight these people. Sure enough, they found that the combat effectiveness of these people was far less than that of the Wei army, so they were annoyed and resentful. Army defeated.

The Wu army began to recover the lost ground on a large scale and continued to fight, while Shanyue and the powerful combined army were defeated step by step. Seeing that the situation was about to be reversed, it turned out that at this time, the key news came.

Sun Ce died.

Sun Ce, who had been trying his best to lead everyone forward, died.

Sun Ce, who founded the foundation of the Wu Kingdom and single-handedly conquered the Jiangdong territory, died.

This news was first known to the Shanyue powerful coalition army. They were overjoyed and quickly spread the news of Sun Ce's death.
