It was Sun Quan who shot this fatal arrow. His fierce and vicious look was completely unlike a man who had just turned eighteen. Sun Quan jumped off his horse and walked towards Sun Ce's body. As he walked, he said, "You can't blame me. Brother, unless you die, I will never get ahead. I also have great ambitions and think about my family, country and the world. Jiangdong is no better in my hands than yours." Difference."

Sun Bi felt that his disciple was no easier to deal with than Sun Ce. He thought in his mind: Should I take this opportunity to get rid of Sun Quan? Then the power of Jiangdong will be mine. But a martial artist is a martial artist after all. How could Sun Quan let him get his wish? Just when Sun Ben was about to take action, a spear penetrated his body. He fell down before he could even shout a word.

The gun-wielding warrior shouted, "Sun Ben conspired to assassinate the lord. Lu Xun has been ordered by the new lord to kill the rebels. Those who surrender will not be killed!" The surrounding soldiers put down their weapons and knelt down to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan helped Lu Xun up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Boyan. When I take Zhou Yu's military power, you will be my governor, and the Lu family will become the largest noble family in Jiangdong."

"Lu Xun thanks my lord, and is willing to lead the Lu family to rule the world for justice." Lu Xun knelt down to thank him again.

The hunting was over, and Sun Quan returned to Wu County with the bodies of Sun Ce and Sun Ben. The white-haired Wu Jing knew that he had fallen into the trap of his nephew. He knelt down to Sun Quan and said, "Zhong Mou, uncle has arrived. I know my destiny is that my time is running out, so I don’t ask for any glory or wealth, I just want to live and die in good health.”

Sun Quan smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, uncle, my nephew will see you through to your old age. This Wu County is your place of support. Please help me take care of my mother. I want to go back to Jianye to handle military affairs, so I won't say goodbye to her." "

Gu Yong of the Gu family, Lu Xun of the Lu family, Zhu Ran of the Zhu family, Zhang Zhao of the Zhang family, representatives of the four major families in Jiangdong have reached an alliance agreement with Sun Quan, and decided to follow the example of the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with Sun Quan as the principal prince. , the gentry jointly governed Jiangdong.

Sun Quan, who returned to Jianye, chose not to announce the funeral secretly, and let Lu Xun seize the military power of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai with military symbols, and forced the two veteran generals to resign. Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao took over the government affairs of Jiangdong and arranged for the family's children to take up official positions in various counties. Zhu Ran became the commander of Sun Quan's escort army, handling the affairs of Jianye, and then dealt with Zhou Yu's 30,000 army.

It has been three months since Zhou Yu led this army on an expedition to Jiaozhou. He overcame the mountainous and humid environment in the Fujian and Guangdong regions and fought fiercely with the Shanyue Army in the jungles and bushes. He achieved remarkable results. As long as he is given another three months , we can capture the entire territory of Jiaozhou and approach South Vietnam, Siam, and Luzon.

Zhou Yu called his deputy general Lu Meng, "Has the rations been delivered, my lord? Our army has penetrated hundreds of miles into Jiaozhou. If there is no food, the soldiers can only go hunting."

Lu Meng said, "To inform the Governor, I have sent three groups of messengers to Jianye to collect food. I believe that the troops delivering food will arrive soon. We can only rely on hunting to survive these days."

What they didn't know was that no food would be delivered. The army transporting food had been stopped by Lu Xun. Zhu Ran had arrived in Fujian with a bodyguard of three thousand. According to Sun Quan's instructions, he made friends with the local Shi Xie. , the two parties agreed that Shixie would be in charge of Jiaozhou, but he would have to pay taxes to Sun Quan, and the two parties became a subordinate relationship. When Shi Xie was young, he studied under Liu Tao, a famous scholar from Yingchuan. He was promoted to the prefect of Jiaozhi due to his filial piety and integrity. Because of his meritorious service in conquering Shanyue, he was named the Marquis of Longduting. When Zhou Yu's army attacked Jiaozhou, he defeated Shi Xie's army. Xie was forced to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Shi Xie was moved by the conditions proposed by Sun Quan this time, and he decided to persuade other nobles in Jiaozhou to work together to push Zhou Yu's army into a desperate situation.

Zhou Yu's army has not eaten rice for five days. Most of this army are locals from Jiangdong. They are not used to eating the meat of mountain birds and wild beasts. In addition, there is no salt, so everyone's hands and feet are weak. Zhou Yu himself also fell ill. , the three armies lost their backbone and were struggling in Guangdong.

Lu Su had surrendered to Sun Quan. This time he came to the military camp as an envoy to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender.

Zhou Yu saw his old friend and managed to hold himself up, "Zijing is here. Have you brought food for the three armies?"

Lu Su shook his head, "The previous lord is dead, and the new lord said that as long as your 30,000 troops surrender, they will have as much rations as they want, but if they resist, they will have no choice but to die in Guangdong."

Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard this, "What is it, my lord? You are talking about Brother Bo Fu. He is in the prime of life. How could he die? Zijing, please explain clearly."

Lu Su said, "My lord went to Wu County to worship his ancestors and was killed by Sun Ben. The lord's brother Sun Quan personally killed Sun Ben. With the support of the Jiangdong nobles, he took over Jiangdong. Now he is the leader of your expeditionary army." A personal thorn in his side."

Zhou Yu's mind recalled the years of fighting together with Sun Ce. The two cherished each other and were as close as brothers. They once determined to conquer the world together, but now their old friends are gone.

Zhou Yu left two lines of tears, "Since Sun Quan is Brother Bofu's younger brother, he is also my younger brother. Whoever surrenders will not surrender? Aren't these 30,000 troops all working for him?"

Lu Su said, "My lord wants you to hand over your military power, remove your armor and return to your fields. He has appointed a new governor, Lu Xun of the Lu family."

"How old is Lu Xun? How can he compare with the governor?" Lu Meng, who was next to him, couldn't sit still when he heard this.

Zhou Yu stopped Lu Meng who was about to have a fit. "Ziming, we are all subordinates of General Bo Fu. Sun Quan is the younger brother of General Bo Fu. We should obey the military orders and return to Huaisi to farm in the worst case." After speaking, Zhou Yu handed over the military talisman to Lu. Su said, "I will leave these 30,000 troops to Zijing, and we will make sure everyone returns to Jiangdong safely."

Lu Su bowed to Zhou Yu and said, "Thank you Gong Jin for your support. I admire Gong Jin's broadmindedness."

Sun Quan used a bloodless method to control Yangzhou and Jiaozhou.

The governor of Jiaozhou was handed over to his father-in-law, Bu Zhao, and all the brothers from the Shi family were given important positions. Shi Xie was appointed the prefect of Jiaozhi, Shi Yi was appointed the prefect of Hepu, Shi? was appointed the prefect of Jiuzhen, and Shi Wu was appointed the prefect of Nanhai.
