Ji Han Liu Zhang

"Xu Gong's retainers!"

"Sun Ce!"

When Liu Zhang heard these words from Xun You, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The inertia of history is really unstoppable, and there is rarely any omission or difficulty in taking the steps that should be taken.

However, after examining Sun Ce's personality and character in real history, Liu Zhang could only say that Sun Ce's assassination was fate, and being a guest of Xu Gong was the fate of the Little Overlord Sun Ce.

As for Sun Ce's fate, the reason was that in the second year of Xingping, Sun Ce crossed the river to attack Jiangdong under the banner of Yuan Shu's generals. Yuan Shu usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Yangzhou had a legitimate governor, Liu Yao. Therefore, Sun Ce was not well received by the local forces in Jiangdong.

For the scholars in Jiangdong, Sun Ce was not the righteous side, but a real rebel. That's why Jiangdong clan forces such as Jiaxing Wang, Wucheng Zou, and Wucheng Qian confronted Sun Ce.

As he was not welcomed by the scholars in Jiangdong, Sun Ce took up the butcher knife. Except for Wang Sheng, the patriarch of the Wang family in Jiaxing, who had a friendship with Sun Jian and was therefore spared from death, the rest of the families were all exterminated by Sun Ce.

In addition to exterminating the great families, Sun Ce also killed many famous scholars who were unwilling to cooperate with him, such as Gao Dai, whose father Gao Biao ranked first in the examination of classics, Confucian classics masters such as Zhou Xin, who was from the Zhou family of Kuaiji, and Xu Gong mentioned by Xun You just now.

By slaughtering so many great families in Jiangdong and killing so many famous people in Jiangdong, Sun Ce had offended many people. There must have been quite a few people in Jiangdong who wanted to attack and kill Sun Ce.

However, things had come to this point. With Sun Ce's status, if he had strong guards when he went out and came in, and with Sun Ce's personal superior bravery, he would not be easily assassinated.

However, Sun Ce's personality and character gave Xu Gong an opportunity.

Liu Zhang had done some research on the Sun family group, which was based in Jiangdong and started out as a military general. Most of the Sun family members had good strength in martial arts, and their good martial arts made them act rather rashly.

His father, Sun Jian, rode alone in pursuit of Huang Zu who had fled into Yanshan, and the mighty tiger of Jiangdong was shot by a hidden arrow and died.

The eldest brother, Sun Ce, liked to separate from the main group when hunting. The famous Little Overlord was assassinated by Xu Gong's followers.

The third brother, Sun Yi, was feasting with close ministers who were not on good terms with him, and was killed due to carelessness.

Even Sun Quan, the Emperor of Wu who was praised by Sun Ce as "I am not as good as you in appointing virtuous people to capable positions and making everyone do their best to protect Jiangdong", was also adventurous. He liked to ride a horse and shoot tigers, and experience the excitement of a tiger grabbing the saddle.

Brave but reckless, it can be seen that it is the family gene of the Sun family, so Guo Jia had the foresight to predict the death of Sun Ce.

As it was, Liu Zhang, whose world situation was changed by him, was not surprised at all by the assassination of Sun Ce. After all, this was Sun Ce's fate.

"When Sun Ce was assassinated, was he injured by an arrow?" Liu Zhang asked Xun You. According to historical records, although Sun Ce was not killed on the spot by Xu Gong's followers, Sun Ce's death was largely due to the trauma caused by Xu Gong's followers.

The reason why Liu Zhang asked this question was that he did not want the brave and aggressive Sun Ce to die so early. After all, with Sun Ce around, Liu Biao of Jingzhou would be under a lot of pressure, and his fellow clan member would have something to do. At the same time, Liu Biao's attitude towards him would be very polite.

Xun You shook his head when he heard this. He denied it and said, "According to the detailed documents, Sun Ce was assassinated but he did not suffer any injuries and he is not seriously injured."

"Oh." Liu Zhang responded meaningfully. He was a little surprised that Sun Ce was suddenly assassinated, and he fought against three people alone, but he succeeded in counter-killing, without being injured as in history. After responding, Liu Zhang took the detailed document of Sun Ce's assassination from Xun You and read it carefully. He felt that history was probably a little off, and perhaps he could find some clues from the document.

Soon, Liu Zhang saw a name, a person who changed history - Ling Tong.

It turned out that Sun Ce was not alone in this hunting trip, but was accompanied by Ling Cao's son Ling Tong. With help, Sun Ce was not injured by arrows this time, but easily eliminated Xu Gong's three followers.

As for why Sun Ce brought Ling Tong with him, Liu Zhang guessed that it was probably because Ling Cao was shot and killed by Huang Zhong when Sun Ce marched ahead of him in the battle of Jiangxia. Sun Ce felt sorry for Ling Tong because he lost his father at an early age, so he kept Ling Tong by his side.

With a small change, the fate of the Little Overlord Sun Ce was changed. He did not die from a wound as in history.

The timeline is changing, and Liu Zhang has also become interested. If Sun Ce does not die, Liu Biao, who has a grudge against Sun Ce for killing his father, will have trouble at peace. In addition, it is possible that Sun Ce will attack Xu.

Liu Zhang now has no idea what the future holds for the current chaotic world.

However, the affairs of Jingzhou and Jiangdong have little to do with Liu Zhang. At present, when the south is less developed, the Central Plains and the North are the deciding factors in determining the fate of the world.

Following this thought, Liu Zhang asked Xun You: "Yuan Shao suffered a setback at Yubi City and led his army back to Yecheng. What actions did he take in Yecheng?"

Xun You pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Since Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng after his defeat, he has not made any major moves. He just went to the prison in Yecheng to bring out Tian Feng, the deputy driver who had been imprisoned for him, and put Tian Feng by his side again, asking him about current affairs from time to time."

"Hmm?" Liu Zhang's eyes flickered, and he asked in doubt: "How credible is this?"

"It is certain." Xun You nodded affirmatively. He received news from multiple channels, all of which said that Yuan Shao had brought Tian Feng out of the prison in Yecheng. This was absolutely true.

"Hiss..." Liu Zhang looked confused. He stretched out his hand and rubbed the short beard on his chin, with surprise between his brows.

It was really unexpected. Liu Zhang thought that Yuan Shao would be defeated and retreat, and would most likely kill Tian Feng. After all, he heard that Tian Feng predicted that the battle would be unsuccessful before Yuan Shao marched into Hedong.

As for Yuan Shao's character, he was generous on the outside but jealous on the inside, and accommodating on the outside but intolerant on the inside. Tian Feng should have been executed in prison by Yuan Shao just as he did in history.

However, things did not turn out as Liu Zhang had expected. Yuan Shao actually released Tian Feng and personally took Tian Feng out of prison, showing the leadership ability that a first-class prince should have in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

First it was Sun Ce, and then Tian Feng. History did not repeat itself. Being separated from the Three Kingdoms that Liu Zhang was familiar with made him feel out of control, but in that instant, a look of ease and satisfaction appeared on Liu Zhang's face.

As long as Sun Ce was alive and Yuan Shao was not stupid, in such a chaotic world, Liu Zhang would seek to become a king or a hegemon. Compared with the history he was familiar with, it made him feel more eager to win.
