The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 205 Triumph at the Funeral

Zhou Yu led an army from Pengze, with a total of [-] land and water troops, heading straight for Jiangxia.Huang Zu felt that the situation was serious and asked Liu Biao for help.Liu Biao ordered Cai Mao to lead the water army to help, and the two sides started a water battle at Sanjiangkou.From the very beginning, Cai Mao's navy was held back by Zhou Yu's navy.Jingzhou's navy is powerful, and everyone in the world knows that Zhou Yu never thought of a decisive battle with Jingzhou on the water.He personally led the army to bypass Wuchang and approach Jiangxia.

Huang Zu sent his son Huang She to fight outside the city, but was defeated by Zhou Yu.The Jiangdong army is approaching the city, and Jiangxia City is in danger.Huang Zu went to the city to supervise the battle in person, and seeing the crowd of soldiers in the city, his heart rose in his throat.The army began to attack the city, and the three generals Zhu Huan, Chen Wu, and He Qi led the soldiers to climb the city ladder all the way up.

Jiangxia's defenders could hardly resist, and Huang Zu fell to the top of the wall.With a loud roar, Zhu Huan shouted away the guards beside Huang Zu, came to Huang Zu and laughed, "Little Huang Zu, today is your death day!" He raised his knife and chopped.

Huang She, Huang Zu's son, rushed to meet him, and Zhu Huan beheaded him in front of Huang Zu.Looking at his son's corpse, Huang Zu couldn't muster up the strength to fight anymore, so Zhu Huan grabbed him and captured him alive.Jiang Xia's soldiers dispersed in a hurry.Chen Wu and He Qi opened the city gate, Zhou Yu's army rushed in, and Jiangxia City was destroyed.Knowing that Jiangxia had been broken, Cai Mao was worried that his retreat would be blocked, so he hurriedly ordered the navy to retreat, and fled back to Xiakou in one breath, never daring to come out again.Liu Biao hurriedly ordered his eldest son Liu Qi to lead an army to rescue Cai Mao.Zhou Yu captured Xiakou, captured Huang Zu alive, fulfilled Sun Ce's last order and did not continue to march.Both sides strike.

At this time, the news of Sun Ce's death reached Jiang Xia, and everyone was shocked.In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Zhou Yu strictly ordered not to spread the word, and immediately ordered the army to withdraw.After retreating to Chaisang, the news of Sun Ce's death was announced. The whole army mourned and set up a coffin in Chaisang to pay homage to Sun Ce.Zhu Heng was sad, and asked in a crying voice: "General, what should we do? Do we want to go back to Moling to attend the funeral for our lord?"

Chen Wu and He Qi also looked at Zhou Yu.Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, looked at the tiger talismans on the cases and shook his head slightly: "The lord sent us to Jiangxia because he was afraid that the Jiangdong army would kill each other. We must not go against the lord's painstaking efforts and order the three armies to stay in Chaisang. Without our military order Don't act rashly!"

Lu Su on the side nodded slightly, and found Zhou Yu after Zhu Huan and the others left.Lu Su was Zhou Yu's good friend, and he didn't state that he was appointed by Sun Quan when he came.After entering Zhou Yu's big tent, Lu Su bowed and swept the floor to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin is dedicated to Jiangdong, and he is so magnanimous, I admire him!"

"Brother Zijing, why do you have to do this! Jiangdong is in great trouble, I can't save you, how can you be so generous?"

Lu Su waved his hand: "Gong Jin was wrong. Everyone is grieved by the death of the lord. If Gong Jin leads his troops back at this time, it must be a catastrophe. Gong Jin's choice to stay shows that Gong Jin is selfless. Now the Lord of Jiangdong is It's the second son, how does Gong Jin plan to face it?"

"Zhou Yu is stupid, please give me some advice from brother Zijing!"

Lu Su said: "Death cannot be brought back to life. The second son is a virtuous corporal. It is because of this that everyone supports him. Jiangdong can be preserved. Only Gong Jin should understand that Jiangdong is newly acquired. There should be no big storms. Why don't you worship the second son as your lord?" , to reassure the hearts of the people, and also to ensure the stability of Jiangdong.”

Zhou Yu closed his eyes with pain on his face.He could clearly see Sun Quan's actions over the past few years. Now that Sun Ce suddenly died of illness, although Zhou Yu has no evidence yet, Zhou Yu knows that all of them have something to do with Sun Quan.Sun Ce was his sworn brother, and he couldn't let go of his death for no apparent reason.However, what Lu Su said was right, what if he led the army back to Moling?Naturally, a bloodbath is inevitable, what happens after the victory?Sun Shao was young, how could he do what Dong Zhuo did.

Handing over the army to Zhu Huan, Zhou Yu lightly drove Huang Zu and Lu Su to go back to Moling.As soon as he arrived at Hulin, he ran into Zhang Hong who came from Moling by accident.Zhang Hong was weak and exhausted, so he rushed from Moling non-stop to Hulin to intercept Zhou Yu.Zhang Hong was lying on the carriage, with tears still in his eyes, and grabbed Zhou Yu's hand, "Gong Jin! My lord died strangely! My lord is Gong Jin's elder brother, why did Gong Jin come back alone?"

Zhou Yu didn't speak.Zhang Hong glanced at Lu Su who was beside Zhou Yu, and said angrily, "Lu Zijing, you are also a loyal gentleman, how could you join forces with Sun Quan? Sun Quan stole Jiangdong's position and killed the lord. Does Jiangdong have no loyal ministers?" Another cough.

Zhou Yu hurriedly stroked his back and persuaded him: "Mr. Zhang, don't get excited, Zijing is my good friend, and he will definitely not be with the second son."

Zhang Hong snorted coldly, but did not speak.Zhou Yu sat next to Zhang Hong: "Sir, you are a great sage, and now it's all done. You want me to stir up a mutiny in Jiangdong. If this happens, Jiangdong will inevitably fall into dire straits, and people will die. This is definitely not what you want to see!"

Zhang Hong stared at him: "Gong Jin intends to bow down to Sun Quan? Although the lord is dead, the young lord is still there. Since ancient times, the father died and the son succeeded. How can the young lord still be Sun Quan's turn? I, Jiangdong... ..."

Zhou Yu waved his hand to stop Zhang Hong from continuing, and said in a calm atmosphere, "Sir, don't forget, this is a chaotic world, the world is in conflict, and I am surrounded by powerful enemies in Jiangdong. How can the young princess be still in her infancy?" Can be used to great effect, can you and I support the entire Jiangdong?"

Zhang Hong was speechless.After thinking for a while, he said angrily: "Zhou Yu, if you must surrender to Sun Quan, you can only step over my corpse!"

"Sir!" Zhou Yu felt helpless.Zhang Hong was upright and accepted death, and Sun Ce's death touched him a lot.He was loyal to Sun Ce, and Sun Quan failed to win him over many times.Now that Sun Quan has seized the throne, he always feels in his heart that Sun Quan's position is not right, so he firmly opposes it.Zhou Yu let out a long sigh: "Sir, Jiangdong must be torn apart before he is willing to let it go?"

Zhang Hong angrily pulled his hand out of Zhou Yu's, turned around and ignored Zhou Yu.Zhou Yu sighed, got up silently, and got on the horse: "Zijing, let's go!"

After walking more than ten steps, Zhang Hong's mournful cry came from behind: "Zhou Yu, you will definitely regret it!"

The river wind was very strong, blowing from the surface of the river, it was extremely cold on the body.Zhou Yu sat on the horse feeling weak and didn't want to say a word.Above their heads, a lonely bird was struggling to shuttle in the river wind.Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the little bird couldn't hold on any longer, and fell straight from the sky.It happened to fall into Zhou Yu's arms.The little bird struggled twice in Zhou Yu's hands, but Zhou Yu failed to catch it, and the little bird fell into the grass by the roadside.A wild cat that had been waiting for a long time rushed for food, took the bird in its mouth, turned around and sank into the grass.

It was originally an eagle soaring in the sky, but now it has entered the cat's mouth. It is really incredible to go to the sky.Zhang Hong scolded Zhou Yu for being stupid, and then vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and passed out in the carriage.When the attendants drove the carriage into the town shop and found the doctor, Zhang Hong had been dead for a long time.

Sun Quan greeted Zhou Yu at the gate of Moling. The posture was similar to welcoming the emperor, and all the officials came.All wearing mourning, a vast expanse of whiteness.Sun Quan first congratulated Zhou Yu on his triumphant return, beheaded Huang Zu in front of Sun Ce's spirit, and comforted Sun Jian and Sun Ce's spirits in heaven.

Long Fei nodded slightly, and came to pay homage to Sun Ce as an envoy of the imperial court. He saw all these scenes, and couldn't help feeling that Sun Quan's method of buying people's hearts was really different.Wait until Zhou Yu finishes worshiping Sun Ce.Sun Quan slowly took off the hair crown on his head: "My lords, General Long, I have something to say, please be a witness! As we all know, this Jiangdong land was fought down by my eldest brother and Gongjin brother. Now my eldest brother Died early, I, Sun Quan, have no virtue and incompetence, and it is difficult to convince the public, today I will give up the position of Lord of Jiangdong and General Xinghan to Brother Gongjin!"

"My lord!" Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others immediately persuaded.

Sun Quan waved his hand: "You don't need to persuade me, I've made up my mind! Brother Gongjin was a genius at the time, much stronger than me. If he leads Jiangdong, Jiangdong will definitely look down on the world, and the elder brother's spirit in heaven can also rest in peace."

Everyone's eyes on Zhou Yu changed again, and they glared angrily, wishing to kill Zhou Yu now.Zhou Yu hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "My lord is wrong! Jiangdong was won by brother Bofu in battle. I, Zhou Yu, how can I dare to fight for merit? Brother Bofu handed over Jiangdong to the lord. He has his own reasons. Please also ask the lord Don't be like this, my lord, quickly put on the hair crown!"

What Zhou Yu said was sincere, others felt that there was no affectation at all.Long Fei, who was watching the fun, sneered in his heart, why are the people from Jiangdong so hypocritical, are they tired of duplicity?Sun Quan hurriedly helped Zhou Yu up: "Gong Jin doesn't have to be like this. I'm still young. From now on, I need Gong Jin to take care of everything in Jiangdong. If you have a last word, you can ask Zhang Zhao if you can't decide on internal matters. If you can't decide on foreign matters, you can ask Zhou Yu. Wang Gongjin..."

Before Sun Quan could finish speaking, Zhou Yu nodded quickly: "Your subordinate must remember Bo Fu's last order and assist the Lord wholeheartedly!"

An undercurrent coup d'état has finally come to a perfect conclusion.Sun Ce died, Sun Quan successfully seized the throne, and brought everyone in Jiangdong under his command. Even Zhou Yu bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister. Who else would dare to think anything wrong?Three days later, Zhang Zhao suggested that everything should be kept simple in troubled times.Sun Quan promised to remove the filial piety clothes and put on robes to formally preside over Jiangdong affairs.Zhou Yu returned the soldier talisman, and went to Chaisang on the grounds of training the navy, away from the Jiangdong officialdom.

Sun Quan invited Long Fei to come to the General's Mansion, screened back to the left and right, looked at Long Fei and said, "General Long, can we talk about the alliance now?"

Long Fei smiled: "The general is already the lord of Jiangdong, of course! But before talking about it, I want to ask one thing. If the general's answer satisfies me, our alliance will be successful."

"What's the matter?"

"Where is Yu Ji, the old fairy you mentioned?"
