Chapter 327 Marriage Strategy
Wujun, Qu'a.
More than ten people gathered in the lobby of the county government.
Among these, there are elderly people in their early fifties, middle-aged people in their early thirties, and boys in their early thirties. Just above the hall, there is a middle-aged man in his early thirties. The man's name is Wu Jing, the younger brother of Sun Jian's wife, Mrs. Wu, and the uncle of Sun Ce and Sun Quan. Wu Jing served as the county magistrate of Qua, and was also the cavalry commander appointed by the court, who controlled Qua County.
He gave birth to a face with a Chinese character, a mustache, and three slightly short beards under his jaw, which was quite serious. His eyes swept over the people in the hall and finally fell on a 17-year-old white-robed young man.
This person is nothing else, but Sun Ce who returns to Qu'a.
In the past, Sun Jian was attacked by Liu Bei and died of illness halfway through injury. Sun Ce took Sun Jian's ashes back to Qu'a and buried him. He personally took his mother and relatives to Qu'a for resettlement, and he also stayed in Qu'a for the time being.
"Ce'er, you are not young. Two years ago, Wang Lei was eighteen years old. After he became an official, he was promoted all the way. Now he is only 20 years old. He is already the governor of Jizhou who is in charge of Jizhou and has great power. Your age is about the same as Wang Lei in the past. My uncle believes that your shoulders are enough to shoulder the future of the Sun family."
Wu Jing looked serious. He had some strength, but he was limited to Qu'a.
After all, his strength is still too weak.
Otherwise, Wu Jing would not have been able to sit idly by Sun Jian’s grudges.
Sun Ce had a tense face, his slightly green cheeks with a firm expression, and said, "What are your plans for uncle?"
Wu Jing's eyes suddenly became sharp, raised his head and stood upright, and slowly said, "Wentai was not old, he served as the county magistrate, and led his soldiers to scatter the battlefield and attacked bandits. He was a hero for a while. You are the son of Wentai, so naturally you can't weaken the reputation of Wentai. You must make a career."
"Qu'a has some strength under my governance, and there is no danger for the time being."
"However, Qu'a is a small place after all, and staying in Qu'a for a long time will not help you."
"If you want to become a divine dragon galloping through the nine heavens, you must have a larger river."
"In the past, when you attack Dong Zhuo, your father led troops from Changsha to fight. On the way to Hulao Pass, he killed many officials under Dong Zhuo, which made Dong Zhuo frightened and made Dong Zhuo send someone to contact your father and wanted to marry your father. However, at that time, the literary station decided that Dong Zhuo was a traitor and refused in one breath, and then participated in the battle against Dong Zhuo by Hulao Pass."
"One time and another time, Dong Zhuo was not needed before, but now it's different."
Wu Jing said: "You are now like a trapped dragon, staying in Qu'a and have not achieved anything. You have nothing to do except train a few soldiers all day long. If you continue for a long time, your ambition will definitely be worn out. Besides, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others follow you, not to suffer with you, but to make achievements with you."
After a pause, Wu Jing said again: "It is okay to suffer and suffer, but you must see the hope of making achievements. If you suffer and suffer all day long, you can't even see a slight hope. Who is willing to follow you? The foundation of Wentai can be handed over to you, and it cannot sink, it must be carried forward. Therefore, you must work hard to improve."
After saying this, Sun Ce felt ashamed.
It has been nearly a year since he returned to Jiangdong, but he accomplished nothing and felt ashamed.
When Sun Ce just mentioned Dong Zhuo, he frowned.
What does this mean one time and another? Dong Zhuo was not needed before, but what do you need Dong Zhuo now?
Sun Ce did not speak, and Sun Quan took the lead in asking: "What are your uncle's plans? Tell me directly. As long as it can be beneficial to our development, I believe the brothers' meeting agrees." After a pause, Sun Quan looked at Sun Ce again and said slowly: "Revenge is irreconcilable. Then Liu Bei is already the prefect of Runan County. If we want to take revenge, we must accumulate strength. Brother, what do you think?"
His voice was very green, but his tone was decisive and calm.
Sun Quan is just a ten-year-old child, but no one regards his words as nonsense.
Sun Ce nodded and said, "Please speak frankly!"
Cheng Pu is the one who helped Sun Jian out his advice. After Sun Jian died, he assisted Sun Ce with all his strength. When he heard Sun Jian's hatred, Cheng Pu's eyes also had an angry look and said gritting his teeth: "Mr. Wu County Magistrate, if you have any suggestions, just say that as long as you can take revenge, I believe that the lord will adopt it."
Huang Gai clenched his fists and said, "Tell me!"
Wu Jing said: "I just said this and that. Dong Zhuo was useless before, but now, I suggest marrying Dong Zhuo, and Bo Fu will marry Dong Zhuo's daughter. At the same time, I will ask Dong Zhuo for the position of the prefect of Wu County. Now Wu County is divided and controlled by different people, and I only control one county in Qua County. As long as Dong Zhuo appoints Ce'er as the prefect of Wu County, he can use Qua as the foundation of Ce'er, spread around with Qua as the base, and gradually control Wu County and promote the Sun Family's foundation."
Sun Ce frowned and said, "Uncle, when Dong Zhuo contacted his father, how could I do what his father didn't agree to? Besides, Dong Zhuo is a traitor, how could he marry Dong Zhuo?"
Sun Quan said: "Brother, I think my uncle's advice is OK."
Sun Ce still shook his head and said, "If my father knew that I went against his will, I would be unhappy."
Wu Jing scolded: "Can you just sit back and see your father's big grudge? What's wrong with Dong Zhuo being a traitor? Isn't Yuan Shao the prefect of Bohai County appointed by Dong Zhuo? Last year, Wang Lei was besieged, and Dong Zhuo was also accused of Wang Lei and appointed Wang Lei as the governor of Jizhou in the name of the emperor. Even Yuan Shu was the same. What's wrong with this?"
Cheng Pu took a deep breath and said in a low tone: "Lord, the suggestion of the magistrate of Wu County can be adopted. Liu Bei occupied Runan and quickly strengthened his strength. We are still in Qu'a County. If this continues, the strength of the two sides will become increasingly disparate. If you want to avenge revenge, you must use Dong Zhuo to control the emperor's power, otherwise it will be difficult to take the position of Wu County Prefect."
Sun Ce's uncle Sun Jing remained silent. After hearing everyone's words, he couldn't help but speak, "Ce'er, my uncle agrees with the suggestion of marriage. In troubled times, strengthening strength is the foundation. Without strength, everything is empty."
For a moment, everyone in the hall agreed with the proposal.
"I think about it, I think about it again."
Sun Ce rubbed his temples and fell into deep thought.
"Brother, what else can I think about? Revenge is irreconcilable. My father died on the way back, and it was extremely miserable. My mother didn't even see her father for the last time. Have you forgotten the tragic situation when she held her father's urn? Is there anything more important than my father's great revenge?"
Sun Quan widened his eyes, his tender cheeks full of determination.
This situation made everyone present nodded. Sun Jian had several sons under his knees, Sun Ce was brave and good at fighting, and Sun Quan was young but extremely intelligent, had his own opinions, and was also a rare talent.
Sun Ce gritted his teeth and nodded, "I agree with the marriage, who will go to Chang'an?"
"I'll go!" Sun Jing volunteered: "I'm an elder, it's the most suitable for me to go to Chang'an."
Cheng Pu shook his head and said, "No, you are not suitable."
"Why?" Sun Jing asked.
Cheng Pu said: "This trip to Chang'an requires a person who is eloquent and has a certain martial arts skills. In my opinion, this person must be Zhu Zhi. Zhu Zhi has extraordinary martial arts skills, and has his own opinions and eloquent words. When he goes to Chang'an to mediate, he will definitely be able to obtain the prefect of Wujun for the lord."
Sun Ce looked at Zhu Zhi and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhu Zhi did not hesitate at all and said with his fist: "As for the order!" Zhu Zhi had no worries in his eyes, but was excited. Once the marriage was successful, Sun Ce would have a huge opportunity for development.
