Chapter 211 The Sun Clan, Three Generations of Heroes, Bless Jiangdong
Chapter 211 The Sun family, three generations of heroes, protect Jiangdong
"Brother Hi, let me remind you."
Yi Xiaotian's words became more and more serious. "You must advise Cao Cao. If you just kill Liu Bei directly, that's it. If you plan to keep Liu Bei by your side, be careful about his contact with the emperor of the Han family."
"No matter what, he claims to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty! Supporting the emperor and establishing a reputation for loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are the foundation for his survival in these troubled times."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian seemed to suddenly think of something.
"Also...he is Liu Bei. Although he didn't accomplish anything big in the first half of his life, he only ran for his life and cried. He has rich experience. The so-called children who can cry are given sweets, and children who can run are not beaten. Cao Cao
But you must not underestimate the two special abilities of being able to cry and being good at running... If you are not careful, it will cause Cao Cao to suffer a lot."
Yi Xiaotian's words became more and more meticulous.
Cao Cao nodded and silently wrote down in his heart...
He also gained a new understanding of Liu Bei, a guy who had been defeated for half his life but still grew more courageous with every setback.
Of course, Brother Yi has completely dissected Liu Bei, but Cao Cao still needs to think carefully about how to deal with Liu Bei. There are too many things involved, and just a reputation... is difficult to deal with.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao simply shook his head. We should discuss this matter slowly when he gets back...
Nowadays, there are still several more important things to deal with than "Liu Bei", the first of which is the threat from Sun Ce in the south.
Speaking of which…
Cao Cao was also surprised. The changes in the southern pattern made him somewhat unexpected.
I recall that a few years ago, Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao, the descendants of the Yuan family in Runan, established a separate empire here. Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng, descendants of the Han family in Jingxiang, also sharpened their swords...
The two sides seemed evenly matched, but the final result was simply unimaginable.
The winner is not any one of them, but the strength they have accumulated for a long time, which finally turned into the wedding dress of others' hegemony...
Yes, that's right, the Sun family...
A seemingly inconspicuous family suddenly took up the glory and banner of the Jiangdong generation and gradually rose to prominence. The little overlord Sun Ce swept across Soochow and almost lit up the sky south of the Yangtze River.
Cao Cao had some understanding of the process of this sudden change.
But the information is limited... He is more curious?
Why, Sun Ce and Liu Bei are both heroes...but have completely different situations. What is it that helps their Sun family rise step by step?
Think of this.
Cao Cao was not in a hurry to ask how to deal with Sun Ce's threat. He planned to ask Yi Xiaotian what the Sun family had experienced in these years? What was the secret of their success?
"Brother Yi..."
Cao Cao asked. "We just finished talking about Liu Bei, but now there is a person who is a greater threat to Cao Cao than Liu Bei!"
"Could it be Sun Bofu, the little overlord of Jiangdong, that Brother Hidden is talking about?" Yi Xiaotian replied without thinking...
"Exactly."
Cao Cao moved his whole body closer to Yi Xiaotian.
"Before asking Brother Yi for advice on how to deal with Sun Ce's threat, I am quite curious about how the Sun family rose in Jiangdong. Brother Yi, how about... can you explain it in detail?"
Well...
Hearing this, Yi Xiaotian rolled his eyes and began to search for stories about the rise of the Sun family in his memory.
Speaking of which, Yi Xiaotian once really studied the rise of the Sun family. He was surprised to find that... the rise of the Sun family in Jiangdong was surprisingly similar to the rise of Cao Cao in the Central Plains.
In other words, whenever a prince rises in troubled times, he must follow a set of all-purpose strategies - to go down to the grassroots level to govern, to unify the civil and military ministers, to get the support of the emperor, and to get the help of sacred values. It can be said that as long as you do
When these three points are reached and done well, the final result, even if it is not a great cause, will still be a separate country.
The details in between are profound.
Seeing Yi Xiaotian still holding his chin, thinking carefully...
Cao Cao couldn't wait to pat his shoulder. "Brother Yi, you know Liu Bei so well, you must also know something about the Jiangdong Sun family... Come on, come on, you can tell the story of the Jiangdong Sun family."
Ahem...
Hearing this, Yi Xiaotian coughed, raised his hand and said loudly: "Brother, this story is a long one."
"Brother Yi, please speak slowly. I am listening patiently." Cao Cao sat down...
Like a primary school student listening to the teacher's teachings.
Yi Xiaotian thought about it again.
"Speaking of the Sun family, it can be traced back to..." Weiwei organized some words, and Yi Xiaotian immediately spoke. "It starts with when the eighteen princes attacked Dong, when Sun Jian led a lone army into Luoyang.
"
Huo...and then went around to the story of the eighteen princes challenging Dong.
Cao Cao's thoughts changed rapidly.
He seemed to have placed himself in that era when heroes rose up to kill Dong's thieves...
I recall that back then, among the Kwantung Allied Forces, the only ones who were really interested in helping the Han Dynasty and killing the Dong thieves were Sun Jian and Cao Cao. One of them entered Luoyang and the other chased Dong Zhuo, but well...the results were surprisingly similar.
Sun Jian searched for the Imperial Seal in Luoyang, and because of "the crime of holding a jade", he was plotted by Yuan Shu... but was intercepted by Liu Biao.
And Cao Cao chased Dong Zhuo, was defeated in Xingyang, and his money was exhausted... and he entered the lowest point of his career.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt a sigh of relief in his heart, and felt a bit of sympathy for Sun Jian and the Sun family.
At this time, Yi Xiaotian's words came out again.
"At that time, Sun Jian led a lone army into Luoyang. However, the Guandong princes had different goals and were not well organized, so such impressive results did not mean much. Fortunately, Sun Jian did not find nothing. He found
To pass on the imperial seal...so I plan to return to Jiangdong and make further plans."
"But it was this imperial seal that made him the target of public criticism... Thanks to Yuan Shu's plan and Liu Biao's blocking, Sun Jian was finally killed by random arrows at the foot of Xiangyang City, and the first generation of the Sun family died heroically!"
Yi Xiaotian first told the background of the rise of the Sun family, which was full of sadness. Even Cao Cao shook his head and sighed helplessly after hearing this.
Speaking of which, he had a good relationship with Sun Jian, and the two became brothers in the trenches during the conquest of the Yellow Turbans.
I just didn't expect that an old friend would lose his life just because of a piece of jade seal inherited from the country...
Of course, Cao Cao generally knew what Yi Xiaotian said, but he didn't know what happened next?
Because the intelligence network in Jiangnan was not fully established, Cao Cao's understanding of Jianghuai and Jiangdong was mostly based on hearsay.
On the contrary, it was the words in Yi Xiaotian's mouth that made Cao Cao even more convinced.
"Brother Yi, what about taking over?" Cao Cao asked anxiously. "Sun Ce has lost his father's protection? The Sun family has fallen to the bottom? How to carry the banner of revival? How to find development in Jianghuai where a group of enemies are watching?
Where is the opportunity?"
From here to there…
When asking this question, Cao Cao was thinking of the tragic situation when his career hit rock bottom.
Undoubtedly, he, Cao Cao, was lucky. With Cao Ren's introduction, he came to Youjian Liquor and started his journey of making a comeback.
But? It seems that Sun Ce does not have such luck! So...where will his turning point come?
Cao Cao sighed, and Yi Xiaotian's answer came at the same time.
"Brother Hide, speaking of it, the Sun family is in quite a miserable situation. Sun Jian has just been executed, and the elite members of the Sun family have changed hands and been absorbed by Yuan Shu. Even the Sun family members can only bend their knees to Yuan Shu's command and ask for help.
If one side protects us, it seems there is no chance of a comeback.”
"But, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge. Just at this time, a ten-year-old child stood up. It was his words and arrangements that made the Sun family turn around.
room? It even completely reversed this unfavorable situation."
"Huh? A child? Ten years old?" Cao Cao asked first, and then knocked on his forehead. "Brother Yi is talking about Sun Quan, Sun Zhongmou, Sun Jian's second son, right?"
"That's right..." Yi Xiaotian nodded, his tone becoming more serious.
If he goes by the age suggested by Brother Yi, Cao Cao really can't think of anyone other than Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou who can come up with this plan to turn the tables against the wind.
Speaking of which, Cao Cao was no stranger to Sun Quan.
Cao Cao, who had a close relationship with Sun Jian in the past, naturally had many contacts with his second son.
As for his evaluation? Cao Cao once praised..."Having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou!" This explains the problem very well.
But...a question mark appeared between Cao Cao's eyebrows.
He? A ten-year-old child, in such an extremely unfavorable situation, in a situation where the Sun family was about to sink? How did he give the Sun family room for change, and even completely reverse the unfavorable situation of the war?
