Sun Yu walked into the Palace of Wu with his sword. In the afternoon, he received a message from Sun Shao, who wanted to discuss with him to deal with the crisis outside the city, and specially set up a banquet and invite him to the banquet. Sun Yu was so cunning. Sun Shao's favorite concubine had been bribed by him, and he arranged an inner response among the guards of the Palace of Wu. He knew Sun Shao's every move.

Now that Sun Shao asked him to drink, he immediately learned about Sun Shao's intentions and was furious in his heart. Seeing that the situation was critical, Sun Shao wanted to kill him and apologize to Sun Quan.

Sun Yu did not show any expression and deployed more than a thousand soldiers outside the Palace of Wu. He wore thin armor inside, long robe outside, and sharp blades on his waist. He happily entered the palace for a banquet. Just as Sun Yu had just walked into the inner palace, there was a sudden shout of killing after the curtains on both sides of the palace. Dozens of guards lying behind rushed out with sharp axes in their hands.

Sun Yu was prepared for a long time, so he turned around and ran away, rushed out of the palace before the palace gate was closed, ran towards the square, shouting: "Where are the boys?"

More than a thousand soldiers lying ambushed outside the palace heard the sound and rushed into the palace from all sides. Dozens of swords and axes were unable to escape and were shot to death by the soldiers. The maids in the palace were frightened and hid. Sun Yu led his army into the harem, but could not find Sun Shao's people. At this time, the soldiers brought the old servant who served Sun Shao. Sun Yu grabbed his hair and shouted, "Where is Sun Shao?"

The old servant glanced at the Mingguang Tower in the distance, but took advantage of Sun Yu's unpreparedness and hit the wall to death. Sun Yu turned around and looked at the Mingguang Tower. He knew it in his heart and immediately ordered: "The criminal is in the tower, go up the tower to catch people."

Several soldiers rushed out of the back door and ran towards the hillside. After a moment, they surrounded the Mingguang Tower. At this moment, thick smoke rose from the tower and the fire quickly burned. The soldiers were so scared that they retreated one after another, looking at the fire pagoda.

The fire burned for an hour before it finally went out. Sun Yu led his soldiers to find a burnt corpse in the collapsed tower. A soldier found a jade pendant from the corpse. The jade pendant was burnt, but it was vaguely distinguished. Sun Yu looked at the jade pendant and recognized the jade pendant left by his uncle Sun Jian to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce left it to his children and Sun Shao. According to generations, it seems that the burnt corpse was Sun Shao.

Sun Yu sighed hypocritically, "Crazy, I wanted to hurt you, but you were going to seek death. It's not my fault."

He turned back and said to the soldiers: "Burn him well."

In a small courtyard east of Wuxian, a young man paced with his hands behind his back, staring at the sky, looking calm and peaceful. He was already dead in the Mingguang Tower.

Of course, Sun Shao would not die so easily. The escape plan arranged by Lu Xun was just a substitute guard. Sun Shao took advantage of the chaos in the palace and had no time to monitor him and escaped from the Palace of King Wu and was placed in this small courtyard by Lu Xun.

Sun Shao is twenty years old this year. His biological mother Yuan is the daughter of Yuan Shu at that time, and his sister married Lu Xun. It is precisely because of this that the Lu family saved him desperately. Until today, Lu Xun used a trick to rescue him.

At this time, Sun Shao felt very relaxed. He was not sad because Wu County was about to fall, nor was he deeply saddened by the internal strife of the Sun family.

In fact, Sun Shao had no intention of fighting for hegemony at all. He was only five years old when his father passed away. He grew up with his grandmother, Mrs. Wu. He was deeply influenced by his grandmother and stepmother. He believed in Buddhism, advocated inner peace, and was unwilling to fight with others. In addition, he was only a scholar and had no power to tie a chicken, so he really had no capital to fight for hegemony.

According to Sun Quan's intention, it would be better for Wu County to surrender without fighting. If a large-scale attack on the city would lead to great losses in Jiangdong, Sun Quan would not want to bear such losses anymore. However, the Wu County defenders did not seem to have any intention of surrendering, and no general sent someone to contact him secretly, which made Sun Quan very depressed. He actually knew the reason. Wu County had always supported Sun Shao in inheriting Jiangdong, but did not support him.

Fortunately, the big families in Wujun had sent people to shoot the letter out of the city in the afternoon, expressing their willingness to support Wujun's proposal to return, which made Sun Quan feel a little more comfortable. However, these families are fence-bearing, so they really can't expect them to be loyal.

"Does Wu Hou feel that the words of several major families are trustworthy?" Zhang Liao asked from the side.

Sun Quan nodded, "They want to protect their family. Now that Wuxian is about to be destroyed, I believe they will choose to protect themselves."

"Mr. Wei doesn't give me much time. I can only stay in Jiangdong for five days at most. I will be my last day regardless of whether I break the city tomorrow or not. Please forgive me."

After a pause, Zhang Liao said again: "In order to ensure the siege, Wu Hou will give a clear time point."

Sun Quan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "At the latest noon, if the city refuses to surrender, the general can attack the city at will."

Zhang Liao nodded and smiled, "Then we will decide."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier rushed to the door and reported loudly at the entrance of the tent: "Report to the Marquis of Wu, the gate of the East City is wide open, and countless civilians escaped, the soldiers cannot stop him. General Zhou may I ask if he can enter the city?"

Sun Quan and Zhang Liao looked at each other and the opportunity came. Zhang Liao said anxiously: "Tell me the order, and the army will fight to the east city."

Sun Quan also ran out of the tent and shouted: "Go and tell General Zhou quickly and go into the city immediately."

The East City Gate was surrounded by Jiangdong General Zhou Tai. There were thousands of Jiangdong troops outside the city, which was a relatively weak point. The general who guarded the East City Gate was named He Zhen, and the former subordinate of Lu Xun led two thousand troops to guard the East City Gate.

Around the hour of the Hai Dynasty, the East City Gate suddenly opened wide, and thousands of people from Jiangdong rushed out of the city, helping the elderly and young, carrying their meager family property. People were panic, crying and shouting, and chaos outside the city.

Jiangdong outside the city could not bear to force his way, so he could only stop them from running away. At this time, Zhou Tai found that there was an opportunity to enter the city, but without Sun Quan's order, he did not dare to enter the city without authorization. While ordering the soldiers to hold on to the city gate, he urgently sent someone to ask Sun Quan for instructions.

Just when the Dongcheng Gate was in chaos, on Songjiang, a few steps away from the Dongcheng Gate, a black-sailed boat quietly sailed out of the city. The soldiers watching the riverside ran to intercept the escaped rioters. The black-sailed boat left the Dongcheng Gate silently and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Despite this, the black-sailed boat was discovered by the soldiers of Jiangdong and reported to the main general Zhou Tai. On a high ground not far from the river, Zhou Tai rode on a horse and silently watched the black-sailed boat go away. He knew very well who was inside the black-sailed boat and why a large number of people escaped from the city.

However, Zhou Tai did not order the interception. Zhou Tai knew very well what would happen if he fell into Sun Quan's hands.

Zhou Tai sighed softly, turned his horse's head and headed towards the city gate.

Although Lu Xun created a chaos in the East City Gate and gave them the opportunity to escape from the waterway, the Sun Cao coalition also got the opportunity to siege the city. Zhou Tai received the order from Sun Quan and led a thousand troops into the East City, and Wu County fell at night.
