Chapter 123 Sun Quan ascends to the throne

Jiang Xia and Sun Quan tried hard to make his expression more majestic. No matter how powerful he was in the future, Sun Quan is only eighteen years old, one year younger than Liu Xie.

No matter how smooth Sun Ce's death went smoothly in Jiangdong, it was still a huge blow to Jiangdong. The morale of the army, generals and even the hearts of the people. Sun Ce's crazy massacre in the last nine days made the Jiangdong family scared. The most important thing was that the Jiangdong family no longer had the ability to threaten Sun Quan's status. More importantly, with Sun Ce's death, the anger of many people was dissipated, so that Sun Quan would not bear this anger.

Sitting in the seat that originally belonged to Sun Ce, Sun Quan felt a little frightened, but more excited.

Over the years, his growth has almost been grown up by listening to Liu Xie's legend. In his heart, what Sun Quan admires most is not Sun Ce, the brother who has won Jiangdong Jiye, or Sun Jian, who has left a rich family fortune for the Sun family, but the Emperor of Han who Sun Quan had never met before.

Sun Quan himself couldn't remember when it happened. It's probably a long time since Liu Xie took power and then rose step by step. For Sun Quan, what Liu Xie experienced over the years was almost a legend.

The two are similar in age, and many times, Sun Quan would unconsciously take himself into the role of Liu Xie, fantasizing about being the last emperor, and in order to survive, he would overcome obstacles step by step, make the country strong and eliminate the princes.

Unfortunately, it was just a fantasy after all. Sun Quan knew that he could not be Liu Xie, the lord of Jiangdong, and his brother Sun Ce, not Sun Quan.

But God seemed to have given him a chance. Sun Ce died and Sun Quan was very sad. After all, Sun Ce could be said to be meticulous to his brothers, but after being sad, the inexplicable excitement became stronger and stronger. He found that his starting point was much higher than that of Liu Xie.

Before Liu Xie took power, the world had fallen apart. The princely structure, Li Jue and Guo Si in the court held great power, and the army and economy were not under Liu Xie's control.

As for Sun Quan, Sun Ce cleared the way for him and left him with rich legacy. Wen Zhou Yu, Er Zhang, Wu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, and young generals such as Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, and Pan Zhang were all good. The most important thing was his third brother, who broke the city with one hammer, and this Jiangxia city was almost swung by Sun Yi with one hammer.

Not counting these, there are also helps such as Zuo Ci. Unlike Sun Ce's rejection, Sun Quan respects these people very much, especially after he learned that Zuo Ci had dragged Sun Ce's life for nine days and gave Sun Ce time to pave the way for him, he was even more shocked.

In addition, there is also an 80,000 army in Jiangdong!

This start is a thousand times better than Liu Xie, who was at the mercy of others and had no confidant.

Your own achievements may not be lower than those of Liu Xie!

Although he admires Liu Xie, unlike the brainless fans in later generations, what Sun Quan wants to do is to break Liu Xie's myth and make himself a myth.

At this moment, in the hall, Zhou Yu and Zuo Ci sat on the left and right, and then down there were Sun Yi, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and other generals. Sun Quan knew that at this time, although his brother paved the way for him, he wanted to convince these people. He could not be too hasty at this moment. He should stabilize the hearts of the people step by step and let everyone know that he is a qualified monarch who is worthy of everyone's follow. These people are the old subordinates of his brothers, and having enough loyalty to the Sun family is also his future reliance. As long as he shows enough abilities, Sun Quan will not find it difficult to make these people loyal.

"Brother Gongjin..." Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu with a smile. Sun Quan admired Zhou Yu's ability very much.

"Lord, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority, so you should not be overruled." Zhou Yu quickly stood up and bowed.

Zhou Yu can be close to Sun Ce because Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce didn't care about these false rituals, but Sun Quan was different. According to Sun Ce's understanding of Sun Quan, perhaps Sun Quan would temporarily reduce his identity to win over him because of his unstable foundation. However, after Sun Quan's status is stable, this title will be fatal. As the lord, Sun Quan naturally cannot break his promise and become fat. However, if Zhou Yu does not know how to advance and retreat, the longer the time, the more annoying he will become.

"Then... General Gongjin." Sun Quan nodded with a smile and said, "I was the first to take over the family business and I am not good at military affairs. General Gongjin has been with my brother for many years and is proficient in strategy. Gongjin will continue to serve as the commander of the three armies."

"Don't worry, lord." Zhou Yu nodded with a smile and said, "This is Yu's duty."

"The three generals of Gong's rebuttal, Demo and Yi Gong had followed his father to fight south and north as early as when his father was alive. Jiangdong has today all depends on you who have killed the enemy in blood. Now in the chaos, the three of them have been in the army for a long time and are well-known. Please ask the three generals to temporarily stay in Runan, Lujiang and Chaisang to stabilize the morale of the army." Sun Quan said with a smile.

When Huang Gai and the other two heard this, their eyes lit up, and their eyes looked at Sun Quan became more and more satisfied. These three places, Runan, are large-capacity counties, which can make up for the insufficient population in Jiangdong. Lujiang runs through the north and south, and it is the hub between Jiangdong and Runan. Chaisang is now the back of Jiangxia. As long as these three places are not chaotic, the counties in Jiangdong were washed away by Sun Ce, and they will not be chaotic. The three of them are in charge. Whether they are prestige or ability, they are the best choice. Although this lord is young, he is not not in military affairs and is blindly in command.

"Don't worry, lord, this is my duty, and it will not be a worry for lord!" Huang Gai and the other two stood up and responded.

Zuo Ci smiled and watched the scene. As Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han Dang expressed their opinions one after another, Sun Quan's original fortune was rapidly and stable, and he was worthy of being a person with the fate of Qianlong.

"Now..." Looking at Zhou Yu, Sun Quan smiled bitterly: "Brother, I'm not stable. Is it really suitable to attack Jingzhou at this moment?"

Sun Quan himself disapproved of attacking Jingzhou. It was not that he didn't want it, but that Jiangdong was instability at this moment. At the moment, he was also hurting the enemy by one thousand and hurting himself by eight hundred. It was not a good time. He was more inclined to Liu Xie's way of taking steady steps, first stabilizing Jiangdong, and then Xutu develops.

When Sun Ce heard this, he sighed slightly. He was very pleased that Sun Quan could understand this, but the current situation was definitely not suitable for a steady strategy of taking steady steps at least before they took Jiangdong.

"Lord, Fei Yu is warlike, but now, if we don't take Jingzhou, our army will not be able to compete with the court. Although Jiangdong now has Yangzhou and Runan, Runan has suffered from Yuan Shu for many years and is exhausted from the people's livelihood. It is also a place of four battles. The court is west and north, and Cao Cao is eyeing him in the east. Our army needs a piece of land. The rivers of Jingzhou are crisscrossing, which is suitable for our naval army advantages. Moreover, since Liu Biao decided to Jingxiang, there has been no worries about the war for many years. There is no shortage of money and grain, and the population. If we can take this place, our army has a natural barrier and a strategic place. To the west, we can enter Shuchuan, and to advance, we can join forces with Cao Cao to resist the court. This is a must-fight place!"

Zhou Yu looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is that I, Jiangdong, may only have this opportunity. Once our army recuperates, the court will take the opportunity to annex Jingzhou. It will be even more difficult for our army to think of Jingzhou."

When Sun Quan heard this, he couldn't help but remain silent. Stabilizing Jiangdong may lose the opportunity to make progress. Once the court annexes Jingzhou, Jiangdong will want to develop again, in addition to fighting with the court, he can only plot against Cao Cao. That would be like drinking poison to quench his thirst. Even if he finally defeated Cao Cao, it would only be a favorable opportunity for the court. The best result would be to rely on the Yangtze River to rule the Yangtze River.

"Gongjin said it well." Huang Gai nodded and glanced at Zhou Yu. Although he couldn't stand it, what Zhou Yu said made sense and agreed with him. He clasped his fists at Sun Quan and said, "As for the inside of Jiangdong, it should not be messed up in a short period of time."

Before Sun Ce died, he attacked indiscriminately. The Jiangdong family was basically crippled. It is impossible to have trouble. With the power Sun Quan now holding, if these people really dare to make trouble behind the scenes, they would be seeking death.

"As long as we take down Xiangyang, our army can withstand the court with the benefits of the Han River, and recuperate within. After ten years of cultivation, we can be invincible after attacking Sichuan and Shu!" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan and smiled and said, "And this battle should be decided quickly. Now our army has Jiangxia and Shubi's help. In Jingzhou, Liu Biao was recalled to the court. The new lord was controlled by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Liu Biao's forces were waiting for an opportunity to move. It was the time when our army used troops."

"I don't know how to fight this battle?" Sun Quan rubbed his temples. He knew about military affairs, but if he really wanted to lead the army to fight, Sun Quan would not be too arrogant at the moment.

"Look directly at Xiangyang, this place is the heart of Jingzhou. The powerful and powerful families gather here. Xiangyang can destroy the enemy's spirit, and then take advantage of the situation to sweep Jiangling. If these two cities are lowered, the other counties will be destroyed!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.

First, break the heart. As long as the Jingzhou family is severely damaged, it will not be difficult to annex Jingzhou next.

Huang Gai frowned and said, "But Xiangyang is not close to this. If the enemy cut off the retreat, wouldn't it be..."

"This battle is a surprise attack." Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "If there is no Shubi, Yu would not dare to guarantee it, but now with Shubi's help, we can lead a small group of troops to attack Xiangyang, and the lord will lead a large army to attack Jiangling."

When Huang Gai heard this, he remembered the scene of Sun Yi breaking the city with two hammers and nodding silently.

"How many troops Gongjin needs?" Sun Quan pondered.

"Three thousand is enough. At the end, we will go to the battle with Shubi. The lord will lead the generals such as Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang and other generals to lead a large army to conquer the city and conquer the territory." Zhou Yu said in a deep voice. The three thousand people were still because after breaking through Xiangyang, they wanted to occupy Xiangyang and stabilize the people's hearts. In front of Sun Yi, the city gate was the same as the decoration. Even if it failed, with Sun Yi's ability, they could escape unscathed. Moreover, Zhou Yu also prepared a second move. Even if the attack on Xiangyang failed, the Xiangyang army would not dare to fight easily. Sun Quan's side could be easier. Even if Xiangyang could not go down, Jiangling would definitely be able to break it. With Liu Pan and Liu Hu, the generals who could conquer and fight, leaving, there are not many generals south of Jingzhou.
