I am a sister-in-law in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 140 Whose hands will the six counties of Jiangdong be left in?
The scene between Sun Ce and Qiao Jingjing at that time.

Sun Quan also burst into tears.

Although Sun Quan had already been exposed to many official affairs in Wu County and Kuaiji under the deliberate training of his eldest brother Sun Ce, the serious injury of his eldest brother really made Sun Quan at a loss.

According to the wishes of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, Sun Quan first had to block the news that his eldest brother was seriously injured.

We must quickly summon Zhou Yu, Sun Ben, Wu Jing, Xu Kun and other important figures back.

Sun Quan had a premonition that his eldest brother's time was numbered.

Brotherly love.

Sun Quan felt very painful in his heart, but he did not dare to show it in front of others.

Even in the courtyard of your own mansion, you must pay attention to the fact that the partition walls have ears, so as not to let the wind pass to Cao Cao or Liu Biao.

Although the external news is tight, everyone within the top management of Jiangdong Group feels the direction of the wind.

Everyone was secretly discussing whether Sun Ce was seriously injured this time and would die soon?

Sun Ce also held the posts of Governor of Kuaiji, General of Execution of Bandits and Marquis of Wu.

In the end, who will Sun Ce pass his position to?
this is a problem!
Whose hands will the six counties of Jiangdong be left in?This is related to our future in the next 20 years.

Zhuge Jin, Yu Fan, Gu Shao, Lu Xun and others secretly speculated:
Sun Ce has a very good relationship with his brothers, and Sun Ce's son Sun Shao is still only a five or six-year-old boy, not old enough to take on such a big responsibility.

It is estimated that Wu Hou wanted to choose one of his many brothers to inherit.

Among the direct brothers of the Sun family, only Sun Quan and Sun Yi are now successful. Among Sun Ce's two brothers, Sun Kuang and Sun Lang were both imprisoned because of their mistakes in the past few years.

There are also two cousins ​​of Sun Ce, Sun Bi and Sun Fu, who are quite good. One is the governor of Yuzhang and the other is the governor of Luling...

Just when everyone was speculating.

Zhang Zhao had already directly recommended the candidate to Sun Ce.

Zhang Zhao believed that Sun Ce's third younger brother, Sun Yi, was very similar to Sun Ce because of his bravery and staunchness. He was the most capable of attacking cities and plundering territory.

Can inherit Sun Ce's position.

Sun Ce did not directly reply to Zhang Zhao's suggestion.

Instead, he waited until Zhou Yu had already rushed back from Baqiu.

Zhou Yu went directly to Sun Ce's study and saw Sun Ce's side.

After not seeing each other for two years, Zhou Yu was frightened.

He quickly asked Sun Ce why he was injured so seriously.Does it matter?

Sun Ce just smiled lightly and walked away easily:

"I was seriously injured, so I asked you to come back from Baqiu on the pretext of discussing Axiang's marriage."

Everyone was already there by then.

There are cousin Sun Bi, uncle Wu Jing, and cousin Xu Kun, who are both relatives and strong generals who hold heavy troops, and there are also representatives of Confucianism like Zhou Yu who are good in character, good at fighting, and resourceful. There are also Zhang Zhao, Zhuge Jin, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and so on.

There is also Qiao Jingjing by her side.

Sun Ce took his seal from Qiao Jingjing.

Sun Ce handed this heavy seal to his second brother Sun Quan:
"Zhong Mou, my eldest brother has been fighting for so many years and suffered many injuries. This time his health is really bad! Although you are young, you are fortunate to be resourceful and able to make balanced decisions.

If the people of Jiangdong were to compete with Cao Cao and Liu Biao, or to compete with the sky for supremacy, you would not be able to compete with me.

But by appointing talented people and letting everyone do their best to protect our Jiangdong and our entire Sun family, I am not as good as you.

Zhongmou, eldest brother, I have left everything in your hands!
From now on, you will take good care of our Sun family, your mother, your sister-in-law, nieces and nephews. "

When Sun Ce said this, he was out of breath.

Sun Quan knelt in front of his eldest brother and held his hand tightly, wanting to assure him that he could do well.

but!
Sun Quan would be more willing if his eldest brother could be kept alive.

Sun Ce called Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao again, and then said to Sun Quan:

"The world is vast, complicated, and full of ups and downs. From now on, if you encounter foreign affairs, you will not hesitate to ask Zhou Yu, and if you encounter internal matters, you will not hesitate to ask Zhang Zhao."

Sun Quan finally nodded while crying.

Sun Ce called Qiao Jingjing again: "Remember what I said to you before! Although Zhongmou is young, he is also quite virtuous, but he just likes to drink! You are the sister-in-law, please give him some advice and education."

Until she saw Qiao Jingjing nodding.

Sun Ce called these brothers and clan members of the Sun family to come and speak with Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu:
"The Central Plains is in great chaos. With our soldiers in the east of the Yangtze River and the dangers of the three rivers, we can see the success or failure of a tiger fight! You must all assist Zhong Mou."

That night, Sun Ce died at the age of 26.

He left behind a widow, Da Qiao, who was still in her youth, and left behind Jiangdong, where the great cause was flourishing.

It makes people sigh.

At that time, Sun Quan was wearing mourning clothes and was kneeling in front of the mausoleum of his eldest brother Sun Ce, crying bitterly.

Mrs. Wu was so sad several times that she almost fainted from crying.

Mrs. Da Qiao personally presided over Sun Ce's funeral. She also had to take care of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, and take care of the affairs of the inner house.

It was Zhang Zhao who stood up, and immediately called Sun Quan and said to him: "As the heir appointed by General Xie Kou, you are going to inherit the legacy of your ancestors, make it prosperous, and build greater achievements! Now the world is in turmoil. With unrest and chaos everywhere, how can you continue to grieve alone and indulge your personal feelings like ordinary people do?"

Zhang Zhao personally lifted Sun Quan up and helped him mount his horse.

Organize the formation with Zhou Yu.

Let Sun Quan leave the gate of Sun Mansion and inspect the entire Wu County.

This was Sun Quan's first authoritative appearance.

At the same time, Zhang Zhao had already reported to the court and sent official documents to each of the six counties in Jiangdong, strictly ordering the local officials in Jiangdong to abide by their duties and not to leave indiscriminately.

In this incident, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others indeed recognized Sun Quan's ability, believed that Sun Quan could lead them to achieve great things, and supported him wholeheartedly.

Zhou Yu has decided to stay in Wu County, serve as the Central Protector next to Sun Quan, and jointly take charge of military and political affairs with Zhang Zhao.

At this time, Cao Cao had returned to Jiangdong and declared Sun Quan as the general against the captives.

Although Sun Quan inherited his eldest brother's subordinates, he was only called a general by everyone.

In addition to those who sincerely supported Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, everyone thought that Sun Quan had gotten an advantage in vain and had taken advantage of the great situation left by Sun Ce's death, and they did not really admire him sincerely.

Only Zhou Yu treated Sun Quan with the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.

At that time, Xiao Qiao had already rushed back to Wu County from Baqiu.

Because her brother-in-law Sun Ce passed away suddenly, Qiao Manman worried about her sister Qiao Jingjing's condition day and night.

As soon as she came back, she stayed in the Sun Mansion for several days to accompany Qiao Jingjing.

Qiao Manman didn't know Qiao Jingjing's determination.

She also tried to comfort her sister:
"Zhou Lang told me many times that when Ma Yuan replied to Emperor Guangwu in the past, he said that in today's affairs, not only the king chooses his ministers, but the ministers also choose the king.

Sister, you don’t have to worry!

General Zhongmou trusted the virtuous and ambitious, and accepted talented people.I have also heard some mysterious arguments from some so-called philosophers, saying that the person who succeeds the destiny and replaces the Liu family must originate from the southeast.

There are also some good people who really calculate the calendar and observe the situation, and believe that the establishment of the emperor's foundation is also in the southeast.

We are now in the southeast.

It is also an era when people with lofty ideals join heroes.

Sister, although my brother-in-law unfortunately suffered this death, you must take care of yourself and don't be too sad! "

Xiao Qiao also brought up something Zhou Yu usually talked about with her, which was to comfort her sister. Although her brother-in-law died, the Sun family was still prosperous.

Qiao Jingjing said she was not sad, how could she do it?

From then on, in the eyes of others, she was really a helpless widow whose husband had died.Even though Qiao Jingjing was sober, she couldn't help crying her eyes red every day.

The whole Sun family was affected by the death of Sun Ce and the establishment of Sun Quan. Mrs. Wu was overly sad and fell ill.

It’s really chaos with sadness.

Sun Shangxiang also couldn't eat for several days because of his eldest brother's death.

She originally thought that her sister-in-law would come here to see how the mother and son were doing, but as soon as she walked to the gate of Fuyuan, she remembered his eldest brother's voice and smile when he was alive, and Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but feel sad again.

Those days were really pitiful.

But life is like this, others will not pity your situation and let you go.

When a person is in a pitiful situation, what he encounters may not necessarily be help in times of need, but may also be overwhelming black hands.

First of all, after the death of Sun Ce, the news of Sun Quan's succession came out. Cao Cao was far in the north and could not see any obvious movements.

However, the six counties in Jiangdong were in trouble first.

The first to rebel was Lujiang City.

The leader of the thieves in Lujiang City, Li Shu, was dead, but because his disciples and subordinates were still there, the rebels took the lead in raising the flag and were unwilling to accept Sun Quan's jurisdiction.

He also claimed that Sun Quan was incompetent.

Fortunately, Sun Ce left Han Dang stationed outside Lujiang City in advance, as well as 2000 troops.

Han Dang found the momentum and boldly rushed into Lujiang City with 2000 people to quell the chaos.

But the situation in Lujiangcheng was far from as clear as Han Dang thought.

Lujiang City is an important road. If people from the north want to go south, they must pass by the Lujiang River. If people from the east of the Yangtze River want to go to the north, they must also pass by the Lujiang River.

At that time, many people from Wu County and Kuaiji fled. They wanted to flee Jiangdong and go to Cao Cao's place via Lujiang River.

Even Cao Zhi and Guo Jia had fled overnight.

A Luo has been secretly injured by Guo Jia, and he desperately returns to Fuyuan to report the situation to Qiao Jingjing.

Qiao Jingjing was also overwhelmed and ignored Guo Jia for a while.

Sun Quan was very anxious because something happened in Lujiang, and he had been discussing it with Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao all afternoon.

Sun Quan meant either that Zhou Yu immediately led troops and horses to Lujiang City to support Han Dang, or that he himself led the people there.

But Zhang Zhao disagreed.

Zhang Zhao's objection was that Sun Ce had just died, Sun Quan had just established himself, and Jiangdong was in chaos. If Sun Quan had any shortcomings at this time, Jiangdong would be completely ruined and would never be restored.

The fight is so intense that no one can convince anyone?
Because Sun Ce's last words were to ask Zhou Yu if he was not sure about foreign affairs, and Zhang Zhao if he was not sure about domestic matters.

This war matter was originally under Zhou Yu's control, but Zhang Zhao believed that this matter was also related to Sun Quan's health and the stability of the internal political power, so he had to intervene.

The discussion lasted until midnight with no solution.

It was Yuan Shiyi who was worried about Sun Quan's health and heard that there was anxiety in the study at the front, so he couldn't do anything.

Yuan Shiyi went to Fuyuan to find his sister-in-law Qiao Jingjing.

When Yuan Shiyi arrived, Mrs. Xiao Qiao from Zhou Yu's family was chatting at the window with Qiao Jingjing.

Yuan Shiyi walked in and said, "Sister-in-law, are you in better spirits today?"

There should have been more greetings and a few words of concern, but Yuan Shiyi couldn't help it because he was so worried about the things ahead.

"I shouldn't bother my sister-in-law about things outside! But the general, Zhou Zhongjun, and Zhang Changshi are at loggerheads!"

Yuan Shiyi is a smart person. She knows that many people were not convinced when Sun Quan was first established.

If he and Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao broke up again, wouldn't it mean that everyone would be betrayed and separated from their relatives, and there would be no one to support him.

It doesn't matter if this person can sit still or not, if he does it wrong and loses his head, it will be miserable.

Yuan Shiyi called Qiao Jingjing.

Qiao Jingjing simply put on a piece of clothing and came to the outer study room.

Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others all bowed to Mrs. Da Qiao as soon as they saw her.

Qiao Jingjing just asked them to get up quickly:
"How can you talk about so many etiquettes at such an emergency! I heard them say that there was a rebellion in Lujiang City, and Han Dang led 2000 troops by himself in Lujiang City, which was a mess.

If we are safe elsewhere, we won’t bother to care about Lujiang City!
But the situation is different now. What should I do if Lujiang City is looked at from everywhere?
If Lujiang City is properly dealt with, the chaos will naturally subside.

If this Lujiang City is badly handled, everyone will see that Jiangdong will be in chaos and besieged on all sides. "

Qiao Jingjing said this directly.

Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were silent for a while.

Sun Quan then said: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I am impetuous and eager to make contributions. I think the same thing as my sister-in-law."

Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Quan wanted to bring up the matter of leading troops to conquer in person.

Zhang Zhao was so anxious that he beat his chest:
"That's it again! What you said makes sense, and what you brothers say all makes sense! When was your eldest brother, when did I not advise him to be careful and not to ride alone!

Do you all think that he was ambushed by Li Shu in Lujiang City this time?Did he die because of an injury to his cheek?
no!General, ask your sister-in-law!Your eldest brother's death was actually not just because of the injury to his cheek this time, but also because he had an old injury on his heart when he beat Huang Zu, and this time the old injury recurred.

I often say that we should put the ingenuity and planning behind us, live first, live first, okay? "

Zhang Zhao was very excited when he said it.

Bewildered with excitement.

At this time, Zhang Zhao was not calmly assisting Sun Quan. He was somewhat blaming himself for failing to assist Sun Ce properly and for failing to let Sun Ce die.

Qiao Jingjing felt sad again because of Zhang Zhao's words.

He also turned around and asked the maid to bring Zhang Zhao a cup of tea.

"Zhang Changshi, don't be anxious, let's have a cup of tea before we talk."

Only when Zhang Zhao saw the tears in the corners of Qiao Jingjing's eyes did he realize that he had made a mistake and blamed himself again and again.

Qiao Jingjing is still very angry.

The relationship between her and Zhang Zhao is no longer as tense as it was back then.

"At that time, my husband passed away, and everyone was not convinced by Zhongmou. It's not that Zhongmou was not good, but that people in this troubled world were panicked, and they all thought they could take advantage of it! It was all Zhang Changshi, you who were decisive and calm, and you and Gongjin who took the lead. Pay tribute to Zhongmou, you were so wise at that time!
This time, I support Zhongmou.

He can lead troops to conquer Lujiang City in person.

Please also support Zhang Changshi.

Lujiang City is the first pass for Cao Cao to go south, we cannot lose it.

But now it is clear that Lujiang City is a quagmire, hiding man-eating tigers.

We also want Zhongmou to personally lead the troops to quell the chaos, revive Jiangdong's morale, suppress those rebels, and have a 110-point chance of victory.

This matter is very important to Zhongmou!
Zhang Changshi is worried about Zhongmou, why shouldn't I be worried?
Now, the eldest brother of the Sun family has just died, and everyone has lost their backbone. Everything in the future will depend on Zhong Mou.We are worried about Zhongmou's safety, even more than you are, Zibu! "

Qiao Jingjing said sincerely.

Zhang Zhao was touched in his heart.

Even Sun Quan himself was moved.

Since the death of his eldest brother, he has only felt the burden of Jiangdong and this chaos on his shoulders these days.

He almost never thought of how important he was to the Sun family, especially the women of the Sun family.

The eldest brother died, leaving an orphan and a widowed mother.

The eldest brother even asked him earnestly that day to take good care of his sister-in-law.
