The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Chapter 357 Sun Ce to Jiangdu

Yuan Shu’s heart this year

特！

do not!

Got it!

劲！

Nothing else, not only land, but also people!

When he came to Yangzhou, Yuan Shu found that he was more comfortable than in Yuzhou.

Especially—the Sun family!

Yes, Sun Ce also joined Yuan Shu. What does this mean?

It shows that I, Yuan Shu, have been welcomed by everyone!

Yuan Shao was crippled by Liu Han in a battle. Although he gained Yuzhou, his actual control was not that great. All the powerful nobles had learned their skills. Since Yuan Shao was crippled by Liu Han in a battle and lost his army, only a few die-hard nobles continued with him. Most people choose to paddle or wait and see.

"I neither mean that I don't support you nor that I support you."

The two sides maintained an ambiguous distance, neither taking the initiative nor being responsible.

Fully demonstrate the charm of language and the profoundness of Chinese culture!

So what if Yuan Shao knew?

He won't be so stupid that he breaks up with everyone.

Just make do with it.

Life is like that, since you can't resist, then enjoy it.

Yuan Shu is different, he is a gangster!

He was famous for his chivalry when he was young.

To put it bluntly, he is a gangster!

Can gangsters have a bottom line when doing things?

There won't be, it can't be!

This is out of line, he can’t do this question, he doesn’t have the ability!

Therefore, Yuan Shu will only use his method to solve the problem.

Although...a bit unruly.

But Yuan Shu wanted to say: "The emperor is dead! My rules are the rules!"

As a result, Yuan Shu started to grow wildly in Yangzhou this year.

Don't tell me, Yuan Shao's method doesn't work, Yuan Shu's method really works!

Will the gangster reason with you?

joke!

Yuan Shu's mouth was full of food after eating in Yangzhou, "I have to admit that the King of Hejian still understands the nobles!"

If Yuan Shu is a gangster, then Liu Han is a robber. Gangsters have a bottom line when doing things, they only want money and not life, but robbers have no bottom line when doing things, they only want money and lives.

Yuan Shu imitated Liu Han, painted a tiger like a cat, relied on the soldiers in his hands, and relied on the reputation of the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes to make trouble in Yangzhou. He borrowed some from this company today and borrowed some from that company tomorrow. How happy he was!

Also in the fourth year of Chuping (193), just before Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Sun Ce came to Jiangdu just to see one person - Zhang Hong.

After Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce, as the eldest son, did not serve out the three-year mourning period. Instead, he took his orphans and widowed mother to Pengcheng, Xuzhou to meet Zhang Zhao for no other reason than a way out.

Sun Ce didn't want to leave his children in Qu'a, but he was afraid that Yuan Shu would become an improper person and detain Sun's orphans and widows, so he chose to bring them all to Xuzhou.

Perhaps Sun Jian had a friendship with Zhang Hong from the same county when he was the Prime Minister of Yandu County in Guangling, or perhaps Sun Ce had an intersection with Zhang Hong when he made friends with celebrities in the Jianghuai River in his early years.

It does not matter. The important thing is that Sun Ce feels that the only one who can help him now is Zhang Hong.

At that time, Zhang Hong and Sun Ce were both in the period of filial piety, but Sun Ce was mourning his father's death, while Zhang Hong was mourning his mother's death and was observing mourning in Jiangdu.

Sun Ce, whose father was dead, didn't even finish the mourning period when he came to see Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong knew with his toes that Sun Ce would do nothing good for him.

Therefore, Sun Ce visited Zhang Hong several times, but Zhang Hong refused.

From Zhang Hong's perspective, Sun Ce's visit to him was nothing more than revenge and a way out for his family.

His enemy is said to be Huang Zu of Jiangxia, the behemoth of Jingzhou, and Liu Biao of Shanyang, the current shepherd of Jingzhou, who is Sun Ce? An eighteen-year-old young man with no officials, no soldiers, and no one to follow him, what capital does he have to seek revenge?

As for the family's future, how can an eighteen-year-old young man with no officials, soldiers, and no one follow him find the family's future?

In prosperous times, there might still be some chance, but now we are in troubled times, and in troubled times, we fight with our fists!

What's the use of being able to fight against Sun Ce?

No matter how good you are at fighting, can you beat a hundred people? Can you defeat a thousand or ten thousand people?

What's going on? !

As you are now, who can be optimistic about you?

Therefore, Zhang Hong maintained an attitude of neither offending nor making friends, and behaved indifferently.

Only, on that last visit, things changed.

Zhang Hong was still the same. Sun Ce looked at Zhang Hong who closed his eyes and was concentrating. He confessed his plans and said sincerely: "Today, the Han Dynasty is showing signs of disruption. Heroes from all over the country have gathered their armies to seek personal gain. Even the King of Hejian There is no exception, no one can stand up to help the crisis and quell the chaos."

"Only my late father and the Yuan family worked together to defeat the traitor Dong Zhuo. However, the King of Hejian acted like a villain and took advantage of my late father's fatigue to lead an army to sneak attack and steal the fruit of Dong Zhuo. His ambition is clear!"

"My late father was not discouraged by his defeat, but it was a pity that he was killed by Huang Zu of Jiangxia before his achievements were accomplished!"

Standing at different angles, there are different interpretations of the same thing, but they all have one thing in common - they are all beneficial to themselves!

Sun Ce's meaning is very simple. I, the Fuchun Sun family, and my father, Sun Jian, are both loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. And the princes, especially Liu Han, the king of Hejian, are very selfish!

Although my father died, he also died fighting for the Han!

Zhang Hong did not comment on this. Sun Ce's words were half true and half false. Just listen to them. The chess played by the King of Hejian was too big for him to understand.

But one thing is that Zhang Hong is a scholar-bureaucrat who has deep feelings for the Han Dynasty. Loyalty to the Han Dynasty occupies a major position in their hearts. Zhang Hong did not see off the guests because of Sun Ce's only "loyalty" to the Han Dynasty.

Sun Ce saw that Zhang Hong was still sitting calmly, but his expression had softened, so he knew that he was on the right track to impress him, and quickly came up with his next life plan: "Although I, Sun Ce, am confused and young, I also have my own feelings in private. My own ambition!”

"I plan to first go to Yangzhou Mu Yuan Shu to ask for the remaining troops from my late father, and then go to Danyang to join my uncle Wu Jing. Then I will gather the refugees and scattered soldiers, march eastward and occupy Wujun and Kuaijijun. After establishing a foothold, I will go westward. Attack Jingzhou and seek revenge on Liu Biao and Huang Zu!"

"Finally, occupy the land east of Jiangdong and serve as a military commander outside the imperial court. What do you think of this plan?"

It can be said that it is not easy for the eighteen-year-old Sun Ce to find a way out in such a chaotic situation, and he still wants to dominate the southeastern part of the empire.

In troubled times, one wrong step can lead to death.

Sun Ce's plan only has an outline, which is roughly divided into five steps:

First, ask Yuan Shu for troops.

Second, he surrendered to his uncle Wu Jing.

Third, withdraw troops and occupy Wu Hui.

Fourth, attack Jingzhou for revenge.

Fifth, become a vassal outside the imperial court.

Zhang Hong certainly knows what Sun Ce is planning. The first few are nothing, the last one is mainly about becoming a vassal outside the imperial court. If the Han Dynasty rises again, are you, Sun Ce, willing to join in unconditionally?

Zhang Hong did not want to respond to Sun Ce, because once he responded, it would mean that he would be inseparable from Sun Ce in the future. Therefore, Zhang Hong declined and said: "I have always been empty in my belly and low in talent, and I am in the period of mourning. Your The strategy is so complete that I have nothing to add.”
