The sixth year of Jian'an, on the tenth day of August.

The sky is gray, the autumn wind is bleak, and the drizzle is flying, which has a unique sense of desolation.

Lujiang County, more than ten miles south of Shu County, is where Zhou Yu's ancestors live. Eight years ago, Zhou Yu raised his troops and welcomed Sun Ce across the river to the south, swept across the Jiangdong, and decided to establish the Sun family's hegemony in Jiangdong.

Eight years later, the Sun family's foundation was empty, and Zhou Yu also ended in regretful sighs.

Now Zhou Yu can finally get rid of all his worries, return to his roots, and return to his hometown!

.

More than a thousand soldiers tied white cloth strips on their waists, held soldiers and raised banners, stood solemnly around them, and their soul banners were like forests.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, dozens of soldiers carefully carried Zhou Yu's heavy coffin into the already dug tomb, and then prepared to start landfill.

"My husband... how could you leave me..." Xiao Qiao, wearing plain clothes, burst into tears. Tears on the lotus jade face and rain melted into a piece, like water's bright eyes no longer as bright as before. She tried hard to break free from the support of the maid beside her and rushed to Zhou Yu's coffin.

The maids did not dare to neglect and tried their best to hold Xiao Qiao back.

"Pu, pu..." A cutaway soil was pushed into the tomb...

Not far away, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and other captured Sun family officials all looked solemn, watching the gradually filled Zhou Yu's tomb, but the sadness in their eyes was completely unconcealed.

Three days ago, Jian Yong told Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and others that Zhou Yu's body was about to be sent to Lujiang for burial.

Lu Su, who had the best relationship with Zhou Yu, tried to make a request to Jian Yong——I hope to go to Lujiang to attend Zhou Yu’s funeral.

Lu Su didn't have much hope, after all, he was a prisoner. And he repeatedly refused Jian Yong's surrender.

But unexpectedly, Jian Yong agreed very readily and carefully made arrangements for Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and others, asking them to go to Lujiang with Xiao Qiao...

"Fuck Wu Gexi and was armed with rhinoceros armor, and the car was in a turtle way.

The flags cover the sun and the enemy is like clouds, and the arrows fall and the soldiers compete for the first place.

I am walking in the formation and walking, and I am stolen from the left and my blade is injured.

…………

Since the body dies, the gods are with their spirits, and the souls are resolute and become ghost heroes. "(Note: This ancient poem is Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs. National Mourning". It is a place of sacrifice for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.)

More than a thousand soldiers standing around suddenly sang together, their voices low and long, majestic, tragic, desolate... echoing leisurely between the sky

"...Huh?" Lu Su listened softly, with an incredible focus on his face...

After a while, Lu Su sighed to the sky, and the autumn wind and cold rain passed by his face, and two lines of hot tears fell silently from his eyes. "Gongjin... have you listened? It's "National Memorial"... It's "National Memorial" that the enemy soldiers sang for you..."

The soldiers sang "National Mourning" over and over again. It lasted for a long time...

………………………………………………

In a room in Lujiang City and Nancheng Inn, Zhang Zhao and Lu Su sat cross-legged across from each other.

Although they were prisoners, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and others were also treated as courtesy by Li Tong, the prefect of Lujiang. Everyone was placed in two inns in the north and south cities. In the inns. Zhang, Lu and others were allowed to move freely, but they could not go out.

Since Shucheng returned to Lujiang, Zhang Zhao brought Lu Su to his room, but two cups of tea passed by. The two of them didn't say a word.

"Stop, stop..." Zhang Zhao sighed and suddenly spoke.

"..." Lu Su was silent and nodded gently. Although Zhang Zhao's words seemed a little puzzled, Lu Su fully understood the meaning of it--The Sun family has completely...suspended!

Taking advantage of the burial of Zhou Yu, Liu Bei successfully won the hearts of the Jiangdong gentry and the people, and would also win the hearts of many former Sun family ministers, especially those generals in the army.

Not far away, regardless of difficulties and obstacles.

Send Zhou Yu's body back to his hometown in Lujiang; send Zhou Yu's guards away with the entire Jinfan Navy Army; prepare a grand and extraordinary funeral for Zhou Yu; Liu Bei's generals and generals from the head of Zhang Fei bowed to Zhou Yu's tomb... Everything is incredible, but...

Especially when I heard the song "National Mourning" sung by more than a thousand soldiers, Xu Sheng, Zhu Huan and other captured generals burst into tears... Lu Su knew that it was probably only a matter of time for Xu Sheng and others to surrender... But facing the scene at that time, even Lu Su himself could not suppress the excitement in his heart!

.

After Zhang Zhao said those four words, the room returned to tranquility. The two sat silently, thinking about something.

"Mr. Zhang, can Mr. Lu be there?" A clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from outside the room.

Zhang and Lu were alert at the same time. They found that the voice was quite strange. They also looked at each other. After looking at each other in shock, Lu Su responded: "I am here! Can you ask who you are?"

"I am not talented Liu Bei. I wish you appoint the two officials to see you!" The man outside the room replied in a gentle and respectful voice.

Liu Bei???

Zhang and Lu were stunned, and their eyes were filled with disbelief. After a moment of stunned silence, the two hurriedly stood up and Lu Su stepped forward to open the door.

There were two people standing outside the room. One was pale and had a magnificent appearance, with a gentle and polite expression, but there was a slight intimidating momentum around him. The other was extremely tall, like a black iron tower, with an extremely majestic appearance. He was one of the leaders of Liu Bei's army, General Pingnan, Zhang Fei.

After Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and others came to Lujiang, they were summoned by him once, and they also met at Zhou Yu's funeral, so they met.

"Liu Bei has met two great sages!" The middle-aged man with white face bowed outside the door and said in harmony.

.

Zhang Zhao, Lu Su welcomed his elder brother and I into the room and bowed to him.

"Mr. Zhang, Lord Lu! This is my brother..." I introduced my elder brother, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and others respectively, "Brother, this is Lord. Zhang, this is Lord. Lu!"

This time I returned to Lujiang first, with the purpose of presiding over Zhou Yu's funeral. So I need to bury Zhou Yu. One thing is that it is because of my respect for him, but the more important reason is to win people's hearts.

At present, a large number of former ministers and generals of the Sun family have become prisoners of our army, and there are many loyal and righteous people in it. These people are usually talented wise men, such as Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and others.

If they can get their input, it will not only help to quickly stabilize the situation in Jiangdong, but also be a very effective help to the elder brother's great cause. For these loyal and righteous people, it is far from enough to rely solely on coercion and inducement. The best way is to influence their hearts.

Zhou Yu's burial is the best opportunity!

After I reported this intention to my elder brother with a quick horse, my elder brother also agreed very much. In fact, when Zhou Yu was buried, his elder brother had already arrived in Lujiang, but Zhou Yu did not visit the scene in person when he was buried.

My eldest brother's identity is different from mine, so he has to worry about the reaction in Jingzhou. And if I come forward, there is no such concern!

This time, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and the others took the initiative to ask for a funeral for Zhou Yu, but it actually hit my mind. It was just right for me to take this opportunity to let the elder brother convince them to surrender!

"The two men are very talented and have always heard of them. It is a blessing to see them today!" The eldest brother looked extremely happy and said in harmony, "He is here to visit. I still beg for forgiveness!"

"Bo has a false reputation, how can you be praised by the emperor!" Zhang and Lu said in unison...

After the guest and host took the seat, the elder brother said seriously: "I had a dispute with Sun to fight against the enemy before, not for personal grudges..."

…………

The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward at first—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

But the elder brother's words and demeanor had a unique appeal. As the conversation continued, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

"... Since the Zhongping (Zhongping year), the country has fallen and the people have suffered. Nine out of ten houses in the world are empty, white bones are exposed, and people are destroyed..." The eldest brother looked sad and sighed. "I am overestimating my abilities and want to extend my righteousness to the world.

However, I only regret that I am not talented and knowledgeable, but have not achieved success in many years!"

After a pause, the elder brother said earnestly to Zhang and Lu, "The two men are full of knowledge and are all talented in national scholars. If they can get help from the two men, they will have hope of restoring the country. They can be hoped to comfort the people. I would also like to ask Mr. Zhang, Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu, will give me advice!"

"I wonder if the emperor is willing to accept something?" After a moment of silence, Zhang Zhao spoke out.

"Please speak with Mr. Zhang!"

"The emperor's uncle pacified Jiangdong, and the Sun's lineage was no longer able to return to heaven. The general situation was gone!" Zhang Zhaoyu said begging, "I would like to ask the emperor to take kindness as his compassion, and don't pursue Shubi and Ji Zuo's two princes, to take all the bloodlines of the Sun family!"

"A gentleman never stops his successors. Even though he does not dare to regard himself as a gentleman, he knows this principle.

The heroes of Sun Wentai were also respected by him. How could he do such an unjust act?" The elder brother nodded without hesitation and said, "Mr. Zhang should be assured that Sun's clan will make proper arrangements and not harm one person! The rest of the fallen generals in Jiangdong will also order people to support them with great success!"

Zhang Zhao and Lu Su looked at each other, sighed silently, and then bowed and said, "Since I am not abandoned, I am willing to use my poor power!"

"Second Duke, please get up!" The eldest brother hurriedly helped the two of them up...

.

Zhang Zhao and Lu Su should be the hardest person among the old ministers of the Sun family to convince, but now he has chosen to surrender under the general trend. With them as an example, it will be much less difficult to persuade others to surrender!

The facts are indeed the same. Under the personal persuasion of the eldest brother, the old ministers of the Sun family surrendered one after another, even if they were detained for several months or even a year, Xu Sheng, Lu Fan, Zhu Zhi and others were detained.
