After the sentry left the hall, Zhou Yu immediately came to the hall.
He bowed to Taishi Ci and said, "Ziyi, I have heard about Sun Yi and Dong Xi. It is impossible for Sun Yi to surrender, but can you guarantee that Dong Xi did not secretly surrender to Wang Can?"
Taishi Ci frowned and said, "Gong Jin, do you suspect Dong Xi?"
Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "Dong Xi's family members disappeared, and Dong Xi was captured by Wang Can. He has stayed in Wang Can's army for such a long time, so we have to be suspicious."
Taishi Ci said seriously: "Gong Jin, you are too suspicious."
Seeing Taishi Ci's insistence, Zhou Yu stood up and left without saying anything. Taishi Ci shook his head secretly. Sun Ce's death stimulated Zhou Yu, so that Zhou Yu only had revenge in his heart and did not trust anyone at all. Dong Xi and Sun Yi came back, Zhou Yu
He immediately became suspicious of Dong Xi and did not relax his vigilance.
"Ziyi, you approve of Dong Xi, but I'm not sure. I'll give it a try before talking."
As soon as the words fell, the back figure had disappeared.
When Taishi Ci heard this, he felt helpless but did not object.
…
Three days later, Dong Xi and Sun Yi returned to Jiujiang together.
After entering the prefect's house, Taishi Ci took care of Dong Xi and Sun Yi. Taishi Ci smiled and said: "Third Young Master, it is really a great joy for you and Dong Xi to escape back. I believe the lord will be very happy when he knows about it.
"
"Tap! Tread! Tread!!!"
At this time, a burst of footsteps came from outside.
Zhou Yu ran in with a long sword in his hand and led his soldiers, shouting: "Dong Xi, you disobeyed the lord and surrendered to Wang Can, and you still want to come to Jiujiang City to cause trouble. You are so courageous! Huh, as long as I am here, you can't even think of succeeding. Come on.
Catch him, please, and interrogate him carefully to see what Dong Xi wants to do."
Taishi Ci sat quietly and did not make any move to stop him.
Dong Xi glanced at Taishi Ci with a sad expression, and saw that Taishi Ci was motionless and did not panic.
He turned his eyes and looked at Sun Yi again.
If Dong Xi had to defend himself, he would definitely be unable to argue. The most important thing is to ask Sun Yi to explain. Sun Yi saw Zhou Yu's anger and felt Dong Xi's eyes asking for help. He immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Gong Jin, you misunderstood Dong Xi."
Yes, he was loyal to his father from beginning to end and never surrendered."
Zhou Yu shouted: "Master Yi, don't be deceived by Dong Xi. This person must be suspicious."
Sun Yi said in a deep voice: "Gong Jin, do you know the situation? If you don't know, don't slander good people."
Zhou Yu stared at Dong Xi, waved his hand and said, "Master Yi, please speak!"
Sun Yi said: "The news you heard about Dong Xi's surrender was fabricated by Wang Can. It was not Dong Xi's fault that I was captured by Wang Can. I was captured by Wang Can because Wang Can sent people to pretend to be
Dong Xi surrounded me, and when I saw Wang Can, Dong Xi was also a prisoner, and we were both prisoners from beginning to end. Besides, Dong Xi fled with me, and his family was killed by Wang Can.
He must be loyal."
After hearing this, Zhou Yu said: "Master Yi, what if Dong Xi surrendered from the beginning?"
Sun Yi said seriously: "Absolutely impossible!"
After hearing this, Taishi Ci stood up and said, "Gong Jin, you are indeed suspicious about this matter. Okay, you all can go down." After speaking, Taishi Ci asked the soldiers who entered the hall to leave.
Zhou Yu snorted, turned and left.
Taishi Ci looked at Dong Xi apologetically and said, "Dong Xi, Gong Jin is worried about the death of the eldest son, and there are some grudges in his heart that cannot be resolved. Please forgive me."
Dong Xi frowned and said, "The eldest son is dead?"
Taishi Ci said in a deep voice: "You came all the way back, didn't you know?"
Sun Yi exclaimed: "When did the eldest brother die? How long ago did the eldest brother die? Why did the eldest brother die?" Sun Yi stood up suddenly, looking extremely surprised.
Taishi Ci briefly explained the situation, and Sun Yi softened and sat in the hall in a daze.
"Revenge, I want to avenge my elder brother!"
Sun Yi looked up at Taishi Ci and said loudly: "General Taishi, Wang Can's army is coming to Jiujiang. We will take the initiative to attack and fight Wang Can."
Taishi Ci shook his head and said: "I have passed on the news about the eldest son to the lord, and asked the lord to make a decision."
Sun Yi frowned and said, "Okay, let's wait for news from our father."
When Dong Xi learned of Sun Ce's death, his eyes showed surprise.
He also did not expect that in these short few days, Sun Ce would turn into a pile of loess with no bones left. At this time, Dong Xi was not only afraid of Wang Can, but also admired Wang Can. Wang Can's strength
He was so tyrannical that he destroyed Sun Ce without making a sound, which was undoubtedly a shock to Jiangdong.
Taishi Ci said seriously: "The decisive battle between us and Wang Can won't be too far away. You guys have a good rest and wait for the battle."
"promise!"
The two clenched their fists in response, then turned and left.
…
Wu Jun, Wu Palace.
After Sun Ce's news came back, Sun Jian was completely angry. He summoned Huang Gai, Zu Mao, Lu Su and others, gathered all the civil and military officials under his command, looked at the civil servants and generals below, and shouted: "Zhang Zhao
Follow orders!"
"I'm here!"
Zhang Zhao stood up, bowed his hands and bowed.
Sun Jian ordered in a deep voice: "I order you to raise food and fodder for an army of 300,000 people. You must complete it within one month."
Zhang Zhao said: "Lord, an army of three hundred thousand..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Sun Jian's expression darkened and he said in a deep voice: "Zhang Zhao, Gu's eldest son is dead. Shouldn't Gu just sit back and ignore it? If so, how can Gu stand on his own? I just want to ask you, what are you doing?
Can we raise enough food and fodder for an army of 300,000 people? If not, we will find another candidate."
Zhang Zhao sighed inwardly, nodded and said: "Old minister, I obey!"
Sun Jian shouted again: "Where is Zhang Hong?"
Zhang Hong raised his hands and said, "I'm here!"
Sun Jian ordered: "I order you to recruit soldiers from all counties and collect 300,000 soldiers."
When Zhang Hong heard this, the corner of his mouth kept twitching, and there was a look of helplessness in his eyes. After several years of development, Wu State has made huge improvements in all aspects. It is not difficult to gather food and fodder for an army of 300,000, and it will not cause too much trouble.
Big impact. However, if 300,000 troops were recruited, soldiers from all counties would definitely be gathered. This would tire the Wu army and cause turmoil in the counties. It was not a simple matter.
Sun Jian shouted: "Zhang Hong, can you complete it?"
Zhang Hong nodded and said: "I obey your order!"
Sun Jian's eyes did not linger on Zhang Hong and continued to give instructions: "Huang Gai, Zu Mao obeys the order!"
"The end is here!"
Huang Gai and Zu Rong stood up and responded with clasped fists.
Sun Jian ordered: "You two prepare equipment and prepare for a decisive battle with Wang Can. In this battle, either Wang Can will be destroyed or I, Sun Jian, will be defeated. Please cheer up."
"promise!"
The two of them clasped their fists in response and returned to their seats.
…
At Sun Quan's house, after the news about Sun Ce came back, Sun Quan fell completely silent.
An attendant said: "Second Young Master, Mr. Ce was killed by Wang Can's people. Although this is a huge bad thing, it is not necessarily a good thing. It makes it impossible for those who are loyal to the eldest son to achieve anything. Furthermore,
Mr. Yi was captured and used as a prisoner, so it is definitely impossible for him to inherit the throne of King Wu. Now you are the only one left, which is a good thing!"
Sun Quan stared at the attendant with a gloomy look.
"Someone is coming!"
After the words fell, a soldier walked in from outside the hall.
Sun Quan stared at the attendants and ordered: "Drag this man down and kill him with a stick!"
When the attendant heard this, he was so frightened that he shouted loudly, but to no avail. Sun Quan looked at the attendant who was gradually disappearing and murmured to himself: "The dispute between my brothers belongs to my brother. My eldest brother was killed. How can you know the sorrow in my heart? Brother
Ah, your spirit in heaven, bless me to avenge you."
Sun Quan stood in the hall, standing tall.
That body is not tall and strong, but it is tall and strong.
