"Damn it, Gan Ning actually killed my brave general. If I don't kill Gan Ning, how can I explain to my dead son?"
Sun Jian roared loudly, with a look of pain on his face.
He slapped his palm on the desk, making a crackling sound. Gan Ning defeated the Soochow navy and the news of killing Quan Rou had spread. Ling Cao also led the soldiers transporting food to retreat by boat, and was eventually killed.
Gan Ning caught up and stole most of the food, leaving only one warship with food to deliver.
In such a bleak situation, Sun Jian could not calm down.
Lu Su said in a deep voice: "My lord, the Shu Kingdom has naval forces to contain it, and Jia Xu is guarding the city. Our army cannot advance or retreat, and it is difficult to succeed. I think our army should retreat."
No matter what, Lu Su still insisted on withdrawing his troops.
Sun Jian shook his head and said: "Zijing, I have already said that we will wait until Wang Can's army arrives, then defeat Wang Can and build a beautiful big tent. If we retreat at this time, wouldn't it mean that our army cannot defeat Wang Can."
Sun Ce's eyes flickered, a look of contemplation on his face.
He opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
"Report!!!"
A soldier quickly ran in, clasped his fists and said, "I would like to inform your Majesty that the illness of soldiers in the army has begun to spread, and three hundred people have died of the disease today."
The lime burned the eyes of many Wu soldiers, but the real concern was the fecal juice.
After the manure juice boiled, it directly burned the soldier's skin and caused muscle erosion.
Now is the hot summer, and wounds can easily get worse. As a result, the wounds of many Wu soldiers continued to become necrotic, and many soldiers died because they could not be treated. Sun Jian stood up from his seat with a sudden sound, and put his hands behind his back in the tent.
Walking back and forth, he finally asked: "Gong Jin, more than 300 soldiers were killed or injured today, and it may continue tomorrow. What do you think?"
Zhou Yu said: "My lord, Xiangyang was washed away by floods in the past, causing floods. But Wang Can handled it properly and it did not spread. We can follow Wang Can's approach."
Sun Jian asked: "How to deal with it?"
Zhou Yu explained Wang Can's method, and then said: "Our situation is slightly different from that of Xiangyang. I believe that not only the clothes of the dead soldiers must be burned, but all the bones must also be burned, otherwise it will easily lead to epidemics."
Sun Jian looked at Sun Ce and ordered: "Bo Fu, you and Gong Jin are responsible for this matter. We must stabilize the situation as soon as possible."
"promise!"
Sun Ce nodded in agreement and turned to leave with Zhou Yu.
As soon as the two people walked out of the tent, they found Huang Gai running in in a hurry, with a sad expression and tears in his eyes. When he saw Sun Ce, he bowed his hands to Sun Ce, turned around and left, and continued walking towards the tent.
Go. When Sun Ce saw this, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Gongjin, wait a minute!"
Sun Ce reached out to stop Zhou Yu and stopped immediately.
After Huang Gai ran in, he knelt on the ground with a plop, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, Demou is dying. Please go there immediately. Demou wants to see you one last time."
"boom!!"
There was a loud bang in Sun Jian's mind, and an incredible look appeared on his face.
Cheng Pu's injury was diagnosed and treated by specialized doctors, so how could it suddenly worsen?
For a moment, Sun Jian was in a state of confusion.
He ignored other things, waved to Huang Gai, and ran out of the camp. After Sun Ce saw it, he also followed Sun Jian and ran towards Cheng Pu's camp.
Zhou Yu did not follow and left alone.
Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Huang Gai came to Cheng Pu's camp and saw Cheng Pu lying on the bed, with his back in pieces and yellow water flowing. At this time, Cheng Pu's face was pale and his eyes were dull, as if he had lost his mind.
His soul was gone. When he saw Sun Jian walking in, he suddenly became energetic, his eyes became brighter, and he became more alert.
Cheng Pu glanced at Sun Ce and stopped talking.
Sun Jian waved his hand and said: "Bo Fu, you can go out, there is no need to stay here."
When Sun Ce heard this, he immediately turned around and left.
Cheng Pu cheered up and said, "My lord, please bring Da Rong (Zumao) here, and we can catch up on old times." Sun Ce paused for a moment after hearing Cheng Pu's words, and said, "Old general, I'll go ask General Zu Mao."
." Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao, Huang Gai and Han Dang have deep feelings and are as close as brothers. They must have a lot to say.
Sun Jian comforted him: "Demo, your illness is not a serious illness, and you will definitely get over it. We have been through many swords and swords, can this small illness stump you?"
Cheng Puqiang smiled to himself and said, "Master, I know my illness."
He turned his head and looked at the tent, and not long after, he saw Zu Mao walking in.
When Cheng Pu saw that everyone was gathered, he said: "As the saying goes, when a bird is about to die, its song is mournful; when a man is about to die, his words are also kind. The general will not be able to see the moment when the lord is competing for the Central Plains, but he is a little worried about the foundation of Jiangdong.
.My lord is nearly fifty years old and is getting older day by day, but he has not decided on a heir apparent. If my lord returns one day, wouldn’t it cause civil strife in Jiangdong?”
At this point, Cheng Pu's breathing became rapid.
He took a few breaths before continuing: "My lord, the eldest young master is over twenty, and the second young master is almost twenty. Is my lord still prepared to drag this out and not establish a heir apparent?"
If anyone else had said this, Sun Jian would definitely be furious.
However, Cheng Pu was seriously ill and was about to die. What he said made Sun Jian burst into tears.
Cheng Pu was still worried about his inheritance before he died. This was his old brother!
Sun Jian held Cheng Pu's hand and said: "De Mou, Bo Fu and Zhong Mou each have their own strengths. I can't decide for the moment. Bo Fu is like me. He is strong and brave in doing things. He would rather break than bend. He is also brave and good at fighting. He is a fierce general. Zhong Mou
He has a heavy mind and likes to talk a lot and hide a little. He has a gloomy personality. Although he is a talented monarch, I am worried that he will be detrimental to my brothers after he ascends the throne!"
Sun Jian may appear careless, but he also has a clear mind.
He knows everything very well.
Especially Sun Ce and Sun Quan's strengths and weaknesses, Sun Jian knew clearly.
Cheng Pu said: "My lord, you know that the eldest son is a general and a handsome man, but he is not a monarch. This is good. The second son has a calm personality, although he is a little gloomy, but a monarch without a city will definitely find it difficult to act calmly.
, the general thinks that the second young master is more suitable, please make more plans in advance, my lord."
Sun Jian nodded and agreed.
"Ahem!!!"
After Cheng Pu finished speaking, he coughed so loudly that he vomited blood.
Sun Jian hurriedly said: "Demou, you will get well after you have a good rest. Among the five of us, Yi Gong (Han Dang) has already left. If you leave too, we will have one less person. We must hold on!"
"
Sun Jian looked sad and held Cheng Pu's hand tightly.
Cheng Pu said: "My lord, everyone will die, sooner or later. When the death is over, the righteous father will not be alone underground. My lord, please take care of yourself and don't act out of emotion." He looked at Huang Gai and Zu Mao,
Said: "Dongfu, Da Rong, after I die, only the two of you will be left by the lord's side. You must assist the lord and protect the lord. Don't let..."
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Pu's eyes widened and the wound on his back became more and more painful.
After Zu Mao and Huang Gai heard this, they looked at Cheng Pu with concern, with worries in their eyes.
"It hurts me too!"
Cheng Pu's eyes suddenly widened, he roared suddenly, and his body seemed to freeze completely. Then, Cheng Pu's eyes rolled up, the light in his eyes dissipated, his head tilted, and he lost his breath.
Cheng Pu's wound worsened, became infected, and eventually died without treatment.
When Sun Jian saw that Cheng Pu was dead, he did not shout or roar loudly, but just sat quietly. After a long time, Sun Jian ordered: "Darong, please prepare a good coffin for Demou and bury him underground.
After we defeat Wang Can, we will move De Mou's grave back to Wu County and let him rest in peace there."
After saying that, Sun Jian turned around and left, burying his sorrow deep in his heart.
When Cheng Pu died, Sun Jian lost another arm.
Ps: The fourth update is completed. I finally finished modifying it in the Internet cafe and uploaded it. I went home for dinner and was very hungry.
