Chapter 212 The Sun Clan, Turning Against the Wind, Born to the Sun
Chapter 212: The Sun family turned against the wind and was born toward the sun
"Brother Yi? What is ten-year-old Sun Quan planning?" Cao Cao asked anxiously.
"It is the Jade Seal of the State, which everyone values extremely, but...only ten-year-old Sun Quan really understood it. He realized that the Jade Seal of the State is not a blessing at all, but a disaster, a huge disaster."
Yi Xiaotian explained in detail. "It was Sun Quan who first suggested to Sun Ce that he should give the imperial seal to Yuan Shu in exchange for his father's old army and an opportunity to leave Yuan Shu and regroup!"
Hmm... is it a national jade seal?
Cao Cao's heart trembled violently. If the imperial seal was really exchanged, with Yuan Shu's character and ambition, he would definitely agree, and Sun Ce would be able to take back Sun Jian's old troops as he wished...
The ten-year-old Sun Quan was able to see through this. His judgment and insight were simply beyond his current age, even beyond the reach of many adults.
Cao Cao thought about it, and sure enough, he was right about Sun Quan. When he gave birth to a son, he was just like Sun Zhongmou...
"Brother Yi, what do you mean, after Yuan Shu got the Jade Seal of the Kingdom? He returned the Sun family's old troops? Then he let Sun Ce leave to conquer Jiangdong?" Cao Cao continued to ask, but vaguely, he felt that the matter was not that simple.
Yi Xiaotian shook his head. "No, what Sun Quan proposed was a good idea and a good plan. Unfortunately, he underestimated Yuan Shu. Although Yuan Shu's ears were soft, his methods were not soft. He was only willing to return more than a thousand people of the Sun family, and even
After that, they continued to obstruct it and did not want it to develop and grow."
At this point, Yi Xiaotian paused.
Then he pointed to a simple map hung in the private room and pointed to Jiujiang.
He pondered for a moment, then spoke.
"For example, Yuan Shu initially agreed to present Sun Ce as the governor of Jiujiang, but before Sun Ce took office, he changed his mind and appointed a close associate as the governor."
"For another example, Yuan Shu planned to attack Xuzhou, so he borrowed some grain and grass from the Lu family in Wujun, Lujiang, but was rejected. Yuan Shu promised Sun Ce that if Lujiang was captured, Lujiang would be handed over to him to manage. But really
When Sun Ce captured Lujiang, Yuan Shu repeated his old tactics and sent other close associates to take over."
"After going back and forth, Sun Ce, who was working part-time and not getting paid, was completely angry. He wanted to openly resist Yuan Shu, but his younger brother Sun Quan stopped him. Sun Quan told him to wait, the time will come..."
call out…
Yi Xiaotian's words made Cao Cao feel a little emotional.
What if Sun Ce really openly fell out with Yuan Shu at that time?
Then, relying on the gap in hard power between the two sides, Yuan Shuda can easily wipe out Sun Ce...
The Sun family was completely destroyed, but Sun Jian gave birth to a good son, Sun Ce had a good brother, and ten-year-old Sun Quan was not bad at judging the current situation.
At such a young age, he is able to keep the word "forbearance" in his heart and remind his brother all the time... This is very precious.
Huh...Cao Cao exhaled.
Sun Jian's two sons, one was brave and invincible, and the other judged the situation.
It's no wonder that the Sun family was able to stabilize the situation in such an unfavorable situation and make a comeback.
"Brother Yi, is it time for the opportunity to come out?" Cao Cao reminded, he especially wanted to know, now that Sun Quan has proposed a turning strategy, when will the opportunity for this turning point appear?
"Just as Brother Hao thought, the turning point has really come."
Yi Xiaotian faced the map on the wall and pointed to Yangzhou and the coast of the Yangtze River.
"Yuan Shu appointed an old official as the governor of Yangzhou. He wanted to seize the key pass of the Yangtze River so that he could cross the Yangtze River to attack Soochow. Unfortunately, the civil and military personnel under him were all people who did not live up to their reputation. As expected, he came back in vain and made no achievements."
"At the critical moment, Yuan Shu had no choice but to send Sun Ce out again, and again, and again, and again. The latter lived up to expectations and crossed the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, defeating everyone in his direction. No one dared to be his vanguard, and even hit Qu'a along the way. The local princes and people
It’s trembling!”
At this point, Yi Xiaotian turned around...
His tone suddenly became serious.
"Brother Hi, if you only think that Sun Ce's invincibility is due to his outburst after forbearance, you are totally wrong. Behind Sun Ce's invincibility is his effectiveness in running the army. This ability is not even weaker than that of Cao Cao."
Hmm...not weaker than me?
Cao Cao raised his eyes, Brother Yi, are you praising me?
But speaking of it, Cao Cao deserved it. Cao Cao even felt that he was as good as anyone in the world in terms of strict military management.
Sun Ce? He... can a teenager who is more than ten years old compare with me?
Cao Cao laughed. He felt that Brother Yi was not praising him, but underestimating him...
Thinking of this, Cao Cao waved his hand.
"Brother Yi, you've said it before, you've said it before... Who doesn't know that Cao Cao has strict military discipline and good punishments? Even though Sun Ce is quite talented in running the army, his age... haha... is still too young."
As Cao Cao spoke, he laughed out loud.
"Brother, don't rush to conclusions..."
Yi Xiaotian raised his hand gently and immediately told a story.
"Stories about Sun Ce have long been circulated among the people. Once, a cavalryman under Sun Ce committed a crime. He thought that no matter how ruthless Sun Ce was, he would not dare to kill people on his old employer's territory, right? So he fled into Yuan Shu's territory.
The camp was hiding in the stables, but they never thought that Sun Ce had heard about it, so he came over with an ancient knife and killed the man, and then went to thank Yuan Shu."
"Facing the angry and murderous Sun Ce, Yuan Shu even gave up. He even said comfortingly, 'Soldiers are prone to rebellion. We should share the same disease, so why should we thank him?'"
"This little thing may seem inconspicuous at first glance, but in fact, it points to Sun Ce's strict military discipline and decisive actions. It is because of his strict military management that his tribe grew from a few hundred people in the beginning to a single thought.
To five or six thousand people...the key is that the officers and soldiers of the three armies obey him, respect him, and are even willing to fight for him!"
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian spread his hands and said with emotion. "The last time in Jiangdong that Jiangdong's children were willing to fight for their sons, it had to be traced back to the period of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, right?"
Huo…
Cao Cao was trembling all over.
It was this inconspicuous little story that made Cao Cao realize that Sun Ce was much more powerful than he imagined!
Some clues can be found from the killing of deserters...
If we really want to talk about ruthlessness, this ten-year-old boy did not give in much compared to Cao Cao.
What a man who manages the army strictly.
"Brother Yi, after you said this, I appreciate Sun Jian's eldest son a little more..." Cao Cao said with emotion...
In the past, he would praise, "Be like Sun Zhongmou in giving birth to children," but now he is more like, "Be like Sun Bofu in giving birth to children..."
Hey, I admire Sun Jian's tallness and height, especially when it comes to giving birth to a son.
Cao Cao admitted that he couldn't compare to him, and it was far beyond his reach. The Sun family was born to be strong!
"Brother Hiding, where are you now?" Yi Xiaotian waved his hand directly. "If we only rely on strict military management, how can the land of Jiangdong be convinced? How can the reputation of the little overlord of Jiangdong spread to Kyushu..."
Yi Xiaotian sighed, and then continued to preach.
"The disciplined army we just talked about is one of Sun Ce's secrets for conquering Jiangdong in a short time. The second one is the talents under his command..."
Well...talent.
The topic that Cao Cao was most concerned about was mentioned, and his ears immediately pricked up.
"Actually, this is thanks to the help of Yuan Shu, Yuan Benchu, the financial backer of the Sun family. Speaking of which, Yuan Shu is also actively recruiting talents, but unfortunately, important positions under him have always been reserved for former disciples of the Yuan family. In this case,
The civil and military forces represented by Lujiang Zhou Yu felt a little bit underappreciated, and they all began to flock to Sun Ce's side."
"Let's talk about Zhou Yu first. Since Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, the Zhou family has been in the officialdom for five generations. His great-grandfather was Shanyang Prefect; his great-grandfather worshiped Shangshulang; his cousin and uncle were all tired of serving in the officialdom; his father, no matter how bad he was, was still
Luoyang Order. Whether at the central or local level, the Zhou family is quite rich in resources. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are the same age, and they have known each other since childhood. They even worshiped their mother in the church and shared their needs. The Zhou family turned to Sun Ce's side.
, this seems to... directly name a signal, a signal that can start a prairie fire in Jiangdong."
"Of course, if it's just a help from the Zhou family, it's nothing. But in the current situation where Yuan Shu was nepotistic and the other princes were narrow-minded, Lu Su in Dongcheng, Lu Fan in Xiyang, Zhang Zhao in Pengcheng, Zhang Hong in Guangling, etc.
They come to support Sun Ce one after another...their energy for the Sun family is like the energy of the Yingchuan clan for Cao Cao."
"They jointly formed Sun Ce's first efficient and effective counselor management team. Because of their leadership, more and more Jiangdong clans defected to Sun Ce. Sun Ce's troops became more and more numerous.
The more we fight... until now, the number has reached a terrifying level."
this…
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he even sighed many times.
Zhou Yu of Lujiang, Lu Su of Dongcheng, Lu Fan of Xiyang, Zhang Zhao of Pengcheng, Zhang Hong of Guangling, these characters, or families, are all famous in the world...
No wonder Brother Yi can compare them to his team of Yingchuan counselors around Cao Cao...
The energy of these people should not be underestimated!
Hearing this, beads of sweat fell on Cao Cao's forehead... This was the first time he got to know Sun Ce in a new way, and got to know the little overlord of Jiangdong in a comprehensive way. He even had a feeling that this guy would fight for hegemony in the future.
