On December 12, the fifth year of Xingping, Wu Gongsun Ce died of serious injury. The title of Wu Gong and the position of the king of Wu were handed over to his seventeen-year-old brother Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou.

Sun Quan rushed to the throne in a daze and accepted the visits of the ministers of Wu with the support of Zhou Yu.

However, this is not the end of one story, but the beginning of another story.

Sun Ce's death could not be hidden at all, and Sun Ce did not seem to want to hide it. He admitted it openly, which was very consistent with his usual style of conduct, but this caused a lot of trouble to Zhou Yu.

Even if Sun Ce was defeated and lost his prestige, he would still be the leader of the entrepreneurial school and would still have a little energy to unite people's hearts.

Outsiders will resist him and bully him, but those who follow him to start their own business will still think about the old love and follow him.

But when Sun Ce died, everything was different.

Sun Quan did not fight any war with Sun Ce, nor did he make any military achievements. He relied on Zhou Yu's support to sit in the position of the king of Wu. He had no prestige and had no feelings for the group of people who started their business.

Sun Ce has worked very hard, at least he did not let his son, who was less than two years old, be the monarch, but passed the position to the young Sun Quan.

Despite this, the people of Wu Kingdom still dispersed.

Those who followed Sun Ce because of their admiration for Sun Ce's prestige and were inspired by Sun Ce's personal charm lost confidence in Wu and believed that Wu's country would sooner or later, so they chose to leave.

It was not the departure of the locals in Jiangdong, but a large number of old subordinates who followed Sun Ce from Jiangbei to Jiangdong to start a business.

They left without saying goodbye, left everything in Jiangdong, crossed the river with their elders and young people, and rushed to the Guo and Wei regime.

There is no hope in Wu Kingdom. Everyone gets together and part. If you are destined to see you again in the world.

When Wu Jing and Sun Jing were fighting on the front line, these people abandoned the Sun Wu regime that they had fought for and chose to go north. This shows how important a charming and prestigious leader is to a powerful group.

Unfortunately, the Sun Wu regime no longer has such an excellent leader.

Having said that, this was also caused by Mr. Guo. Because of his overly strong force, his Guo Wei regime was stronger than the Cao Wei regime in another time and space at the same time, making the people of the Sun Wu regime unable to see hope and future, so they simply chose to leave.

Zhou Yu and Sun He, an important member of the Sun Wu clan, tried their best to persuade him, and he persuaded him to stay a group of people, but in the end, the central core of Sun Wu did not collapse immediately.

Then Zhou Yu had to block the news of Sun Ce's death and wrote only to Sun Jing and Wu Jing, so that they could know in private, not let the army know, and not let the army's fighting will, which was not large, collapsed completely because of Sun Ce's death.

Zhou Yu knew that the news would be leaked sooner or later, but at least it would be possible for the army to know later. It would be great if he could win a time difference and win Wu Jing and Sun Jing to defeat the Shanyue rebels.

Even so, in such a shock, the already fragile foundation of the Sun Wu regime was severely damaged and suddenly showed a shaky situation.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu used the prestige he gained from following Sun Ce for many years to fight to maintain the situation, but did not let the situation collapse immediately, giving the Sun Wu regime a chance to breathe.

But will anyone not take advantage of such a great opportunity?

Jia Xu quickly crossed the river to Xuzhou to survive, Sun Ce's old subordinates learned about Sun Ce's death, and then quickly sent people across the river to spread the news, especially those who were rebelling or who were afraid of Sun Ce's existence and did not dare to rebel for the time being.

At that time, Sun Jing and Wu Jing were leading their troops to fight with the powerful Shanyue Joint Army, and the battle situation was in a stalemate.

Sun Jing and Wu Jing both suffered the loss of the Wei army's battle flag, so they sent people to the army to hype that the person opposite was not the Wei army, but the Shanyue bandits and local tyrants, and let the soldiers watch their clothes, and it was easy to see that those people were not wearing the Wei army's armor.

The Wu army soldiers gradually came back to their senses and tried to fight these people. Sure enough, they found that the combat effectiveness of these people was far less powerful than that of the Wei army. So they were both annoyed and resentful, and worked hard to defeat the Shanyue Powerful Joint Army, which had a larger number of people.

The Wu army began to recover lost territory on a large scale and continue to fight. The joint army of Shanyue and the powerful were defeated step by step. As the situation was about to be reversed, the key news came at this moment.

Sun Ce is dead.

Sun Ce, who has been trying his best to lead everyone forward, has died.

Sun Ce, who founded Wu Kingdom Jiye and captured Jiangdong territory, died.

The news was first known by the powerful coalition army of Shanyue. They were overjoyed and soon spread the news that Sun Ce was dead.

Soon, all those involved in the rebellion learned about this matter, and everyone was ecstatic and spread the news on a wider scale.

Of course, the Wu army, who was facing them, also learned the news. The Wu army's morale was very strong, and a large number of generals immediately went to ask their respective generals, and the generals went to the commander to ask about the authenticity of the matter.

At that time, Wu Jing and Sun Jing only knew about this and did not think about what to do.

Zhou Yu told them to block the news from the army, and to fight for a time difference, and to eliminate the enemy in front of them before the news spreads, but the result was not as fast as Zhou Yu expected.

Sun Jing and Wu Jing had no choice but to tell the main generals about this matter, and then let the main generals spread the matter below, saying that Sun Ce is indeed gone. Now the king of Wu is Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan, and Sun Quan has begun to rule the Wu Kingdom, and Wu is safe.

But such an answer cannot make everyone feel at ease in fighting.

Sun Ce has prestige, and fighting under Sun Ce is already familiar with them. They trust Sun Ce. Although Sun Ce has suffered a crushing defeat, the trust accumulated over a long period of time is not so easy to destroy.

Similarly, if Sun Quan wants to accumulate his own prestige, he needs more than just a battle, but more time to accumulate.

But Sun Quan did not have this time.

The current situation is in danger. Sun Quan has no prestige but is ordered in the face of danger. It is natural for widespread doubts and despair.

So many military generals immediately expressed their despair, saying that Sun Ce was dead and the Wu Kingdom had no hope. How could they fight this battle?

They took off their military uniforms and fled in unity, either fled further south, or crossed the river and fled northward.

Wu Jing and Sun Jing tried their best to prevent this from happening, but the results were not very effective.
