Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 463 Lu Su's Suicide Note
Xu Xiang sent an envoy to Cao Ying to "please surrender" and sent Xiahou Dun to withdraw his troops. Cao Cao got the news that in order to disintegrate the alliance between Sun and Liu, he sent envoys to Jiangdong to propose a marriage between the two clans.

Sun Quan was worried that Xiahou Dun would go south again, and agreed to marry the daughter of the late clan Sun Yu into Wei.

Sun Cao's war ended in a mess, and when Xiahou Dun withdrew his troops northward, Jiangdong warships were also preparing to withdraw to Jianye.

Before leaving, Sun Quan appointed Zhou Tai, the general of Pinglu, as the governor of Ruxu, and Xu Sheng and Zhu Ran as his lieutenants to guard Ruxuwu.

The fleet sailed near Niuzhu and caught up with a group of warships wrapped in white cloth ahead.

Sun Quan watched from the deck, and asked Lu Meng beside him suspiciously: "Didn't the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle be transported away early? Why did it take more than ten years to arrive at Niuzhu?"

Lu Meng was also in a daze, and he shook his head and said, "The last general doesn't know, so it wouldn't be so slow."

"Could it be a merchant ship?" Pan Zhang guessed for Lu Meng's rescue.

Sun Quan frowned: "What's wrong with you, Wen Gui? Can't you tell it's a warship?"

Pan Zhang's face was full of embarrassment: "Uh, I misread."

"Why do you have to guess? Just go over and ask." Veteran Han Dang said shaking his head.

Han Dang walked under the mast of the tall ship, first ordered people to signal the battleship ahead, and then ordered the boatmen of the tall ship to lean over.

The boat wrapped in white cloth looked like a child in front of Lou Chuan, Han Dang walked up to Sun Quan with a livid face after confirming it.

Seeing that Han Dang's expression was not right, Sun Quan frowned and asked, "What did Old General Han ask?"

Han Dang replied with a little sadness: "The governor died of illness in Jiangxia two days ago, and this fleet is to escort his body back to Jianye."

"What did you say? It's impossible." Sun Quan suddenly felt dizzy, and finally collapsed on the deck.

"Lord."

Several generals exclaimed and helped Sun Quan into the cabin to rest. After the military doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he found that there was nothing serious.

It was already dusk when Sun Quan woke up, and only the veteran Zhang Zhao was by his side.

"My lord, how do you feel?" Zhang Zhao asked with concern.

"Where did you go?" Standing up, he looked out of the dim window.

Zhang Zhao replied: "We have already arrived at the Jianye waters, and it is estimated that we will be able to land in less than half an hour."

Sun Quan nodded, and then asked, "Where did Ziming and the others go?"

"The governor suddenly died of illness and the whole army mourns. If we hadn't followed Jiang Xia's mourning ship slowly, we would have arrived at Jianye long ago." Zhang Zhao sighed.

Sun Quan rolled over from the couch and got off the ground. Seeing this, Zhang Zhao hurriedly stopped him: "My lord, please rest first and don't be in a hurry to stay on the bed. It won't be too late to get down after landing."

"Zijing is on the boat ahead, right? I want to get closer to him at the bow." Sun Quan put on his cloak and walked out of the cabin.

"host"

Zhang Zhao originally wanted to persuade the other party not to catch the cold, but he couldn't stop Sun Quan's firm eyes just now, and he didn't follow him out either.

Lu Su's meaning to Sun Quan is very special. He is equivalent to Cao Cao's Xun Yu and Liu Bei's Zhuge Liang. Sun Quan, who lost his arm, is infinitely melancholy at this time. He knows that no one in Jiangdong will defend the Sun-Liu alliance. Finally left myself.

Sun Quan's cabin was on the top floor of the building. He stepped out of the platform and stood on the bow leaning on the railing. The evening wind on the Yangtze River brought a biting coolness. Not far away, he could see the flickering candlelight of Jianye City.

Just when Sun Quan was feeling melancholy, he seemed to hear someone whispering below. The sound of wind and waves covered the voice of people, and there were vaguely words like "Great Governor" and "All Expectations".

Didn't it mean that the whole army mourned?Why didn't I feel it?Sun Quan frowned and walked slowly to the next floor.

As soon as he reached the corner of the stairs, he heard several officers talking in low voices.

"The governor is only 46 years old, does this count as an untimely death?"

"It depends on who you compare it with. If you compare it with Zhou Dudu, then it shouldn't count."

"That's right, Dudu Zhou was only 35 years old when he died."

"It seems that none of our governors live long, and we don't know who the next governor will be. I hope we can live longer."

"Why are you so stupid? General Lu must be the next governor."

"Why are you so sure?"

"You probably don't know yet? General Pan, General Zhang, and General Ding are all congratulating in advance."

"Impossible? Dudu Lu's body is not cold yet, and the Lord has not been appointed yet. Are you in a hurry?"

"Don't you understand what everyone expects? How much does my lord rely on General Lu?"

The more Sun Quan heard it, the more ugly his face became. Someone is already making decisions for him?He doesn't like this feeling of being manipulated, even though Lu Meng is a general he personally trained.

There are small groups among the generals, which is completely unacceptable to Sun Quan, and he plans to find a way to beat them.

Sun Quan returned to his cabin without making a sound, as if he didn't hear those words just now.

When the fleet docked at Jianye Wharf, Sun Quan ordered Zhang Zhaoduo to prepare plain oysters, and rushed to Lu Su's home overnight to hold a funeral for him.

Lu Su had no children in recent years, and his wife Lukou accidentally became pregnant while serving in the army, and returned to Jianye early to raise a baby for delivery. Unfortunately, the baby lost his father before it was born.

Sun Quan had already set up the mourning hall by then, and Lu Su's former friends came to express their condolences when they heard the news. Lu Su's house was already wailing, and Lu Meng, Pan Zhang, Ding Feng and other generals also came to guard the mourning.

Although Lu Su's wife was sad, she was also psychologically prepared for her husband's death, because she had symptoms of inexplicable pain two years ago.

After Sun Quan comforted her with some words, Lu's wife handed Lu Su's suicide note to Sun Quan, saying that it was confidential and burned after reading it.

Zhou Yu left a suicide note before his death, and Lu Su left a suicide note after his death. Sun Quan then bid farewell to the bereaved master and walked to the mourning hall to take a look at the generals.

"My lord's condolences, I'm here to watch, you go back and rest first." Lu Meng stepped forward and said.

Although Lu Meng's words were sincere, Sun Quan always felt that it was not going well, so he nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Quickly returning to his dormitory, Sun Quan gave way to the trainer to light the candle, and he opened Lu Su's last letter by the light.

In the letter, Lu Su first thanked Sun Quan for his kindness, and secondly said that the current situation in the world has changed rapidly. After Liu Bei occupied Yizhou and occupied the land of the three states, he gradually had the capital to fight against Cao Cao in the north. Yuan Xiaoren, and asked that there is no eternal enemy in the world. If Cao Qiang, he will ally with Liu Bei to resist him, and if Liu Qiang, he will check and balance, otherwise Jiangdong will be the first to be annexed.

To check and balance Liu Bei, Lu Su suggested to divorce Liu Bei from Guan Yu and Lan Tian. Liu Bei had a close relationship with these two people, but they held the military power in their hands and were alone in the field. The common rumors that Liu Bei might not fall for it, he suggested using a more subtle way. Handling, such as bypassing Liu Bei and marrying the two, if the marriage can succeed, Liu Bei must be suspicious.

At the end of the last letter, according to the usual practice, Lu Meng was recommended to take over as the governor. After all, he was the most suitable general among the generals.

After Sun Quan read it, he put the last letter on the candle and lit it, then smiled wryly and said to himself: "Zijing is really respectable. He is still advising me when he is dying. The friendship owed can only be repaid to your descendants. "
