Chapter 1315 Three Things

"The first thing," Diao Chan took out a letter and handed it to Ma Chao: "Liu Bei has defeated Nanman Meng Huo, and when he led his troops back to Chengdu, the Yizhou gentry suddenly mutinied, and Liu Zhang was placed under house arrest and forced to abdicate with Liu Bei. Liu Bei pretended to evade several times and refused to comply, and finally Liu Xie decreed that Liu Zhang was named Anle Gong, and Liu Bei was made a general of chariots and cavalry to lead Yizhou!"

Ma Chao sighed, this matter had already been expected by him.It's just that he didn't expect that Liu Bei's pursuit of Sichuan and Shu would be so smooth, and it just happened at a sensitive period when he was planning Xianbei.As a result, his eyes turned around, and he hardly looked at the information, then raised his head directly, waiting for the second thing Diao Chan said.

"Second thing," Diao Chan's expression became more serious, and she still took out a piece of information, and said with a sad expression: "According to the information intercepted by Wang Huayu, Wei Wang Cao Cao recently built a palace in Xuchang, entrusting his ministers and wise men. It's even more bizarre The most amazing thing is that Cao Cao colluded with Gongsun Du of Liaodong at some point, and recommended this Gongsun Du, who has always been unfaithful to the Ma family, as General Zhengdong, Marquis of Liaodong!"

Ma Chao sighed again when he heard the words, although the collusion between Cao Cao and Gongsun Du was a bit unexpected, but it is reasonable to think about it carefully.After all, Cao Cao got out of the predicament first by sending money to the Ma family, so he would naturally set his sights on the four frontiers of the Han Dynasty and win over all possible forces.

However, although the Liaodong Gongsun family is powerful and has many famous generals, they have always been nepotism. With their hearts, they will never be able to embrace the world.The only worry is that Ma Chao can't guess how arrogant the Gongsun family can be, and whether they will provoke the Ma family like moths to a flame after taking Cao Wei's reassurance.

"Cicada, neither of these two things is a good thing. The third thing must be a good thing, right?" Even though he said this, Ma Chao knew in his heart that if there was really a happy event.Diao Chan wouldn't say it at the end, based on what he knew about Diao Chan, the third matter was probably the most difficult and difficult to handle.

Sure enough, after hearing Ma Chao's words, Diao Chan's expression became even weirder. After handing the last piece of information to Ma Chao, she slowly said, "Jiangdong is in chaos..."

"It's messed up?" Ma Chao was taken aback, this should be a good thing.But judging from Diao Chan's reaction, things don't seem to be that simple.

Later, after reading the few words in the letter, Ma Chao realized that the civil strife in Jiangdong was even more tortuous and sinister than Liu Bei's flattening of Menghuo and taking of Yizhou... and the reason for this was that Ma Chao underestimated A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.And that boy was exactly what he shouldn't underestimate.

That boy's name is Sun Quan.In history, he was the youngest emperor among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms.But at the same time, he is also the person with the most superior background, and the person who should not have the appearance of a hero.

Historically, Sun Jian's quick-tempered and strong personality was almost always inherited by his eldest brother Sun Ce, and the third son Sun Yi also had the demeanor of a general.But what about Sun Quan, the second son of the Sun family?Probably because his father and brother are too strong, his personality is a bit introverted and he doesn't like to talk much.No wonder, when his father and brother spoke, he really only had the chance to say "yes".

Since then, Sun Jian didn't value him very much, because Sun Quan had an older brother who was as capable as Sun Jian, and his father was not worried about having no successors.

"The eldest son is like a mountain, Bo Fu, when the father goes out to fight, you are the mountain in the family, like the second child, I will rely on you in the future."

These words often entered Sun Quan's ears. Although he was still young at that time, he didn't quite understand what it meant, but he also knew that his father was not very satisfied with him, and he felt a little depressed.This made him even more silent.

The silent Sun Quan is not only silent, he likes to read.He loves to read history most, Taishigong's "Historical Records" and Ban Gu's "Hanshu", he is familiar with it, especially the story of Xiang and Liu's competition for the world, which he likes to talk about.

Sun Quan also read military books, such as "Sun", "Wu", "Sima Fa", "Six Secret Teachings", "Wei Liaozi", etc., he couldn't put them down.So much so that the brothers laughed at him: "Can you defeat the enemy by looking at those bamboo slips?" Especially the younger brother Sun Yi, always teasing him: "Brother, come and compare your skills. You can choose a sword, gun, sword or halberd. I use my bare hands."

But it was such a person, a man who was silent and almost ignored by everyone in Jiangdong.When Sun Ce was seriously injured and was carried out of Wu County to recuperate, he started to take over Sun Ce's foundation as a matter of course at the young age of 16.But once he took office, the taciturn boy suddenly seemed to be a different person.He seems to know everything about political strategy and internal affairs, and he is sharp and sharp in dealing with it. Sometimes he is more cautious and strategic than veterans such as Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong, as if he was born to be a leader.

Especially regarding Sun Ce's great defeat in Jingzhou, he didn't have the panic and helplessness of a child.He remained motionless in between.However, after three months later, those gentry tyrants showed their anti-Sun intentions, and he suppressed them with heavy troops, while fighting them repeatedly, and even calmed down the possible civil strife in Jiangdong. .

In particular, the ransacking of those powerful families ransacked their homes and exterminated their families, even the newborn babies were not spared, which moved even those titans who had countless blood on their hands: after all, Sun Quan was only a 16-year-old boy...

Afterwards, Sun Quan used his outstanding leadership ability and unique political vision to rectify the prestige of Jiangdong. Don't dare to take advantage of the turmoil in Jiangdong to send troops to Jiangdong to get a share of the pie.

After these heroes finished their work, Sun Quan seemed to have just begun his ruling strategy.He began to implement large-scale farmland measures, introduced advanced farming and smelting technology from the Central Plains, and opened up a large business, buying war horses from Liaodong at all costs.Only half a year later, the agriculture, handicraft industry, commerce, and navigation industry in the Jiangnan area have made great progress, and there are faint signs that the economic center of gravity of later generations will shift from north to south.

And just when Sun Quan was in power, he was working hard, and Jiangdong's economy was booming.A very gratifying and sad thing happened: Sun Ce recovered from his illness...

After waking up, Sun Ce was delighted to see the changes in Sun Quan over the past year, and even more delighted to see that Jiang Dong had begun to regain his vitality: "Zhongmou, Liu Wan, the imperial envoy, commented on you that you have a "magnificent appearance, unstable bones, and great strength." An expensive watch, and the year is the longest!' At that time, I still didn't believe it, but now it seems that you really have the tenderness of a mother!"

The mother Sun Ce mentioned was their biological mother Wu, the old woman who valued Liu Bei as her son-in-law at Ganlu Temple in the novel.This is naturally made up by Mr. Luo. This Wu family was very discerning and courageous back then. When Sun Jian forced her to marry him, she nodded and agreed to marry Sun Jian as a weak girl.

After Mrs. Wu married Sun Jian, the relationship between the husband and wife was extremely harmonious, and Sun Jian also listened to his wife very much. Even if his mind was not going well at times, he couldn't help being angry and shouting. When Mrs. Wu came out, he said a few words slowly, so gentle Whispering, he subdued a roaring lion.

"Quietness is better than impetuosity, coldness is better than heat, and tranquility is the righteousness of the world." Sun Quan thought of this sentence in the "Tao Te Ching", and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. He finally understood that the way he governed Jiangdong was also to use calmness to overcome restlessness!
Sun Ce didn't understand these, or he was not interested in understanding them.He looked at Sun Quan, who was already somewhat vassal-like, and said a sentence that Sun Quan never thought of: "Now that Jiangdong is stable and its vitality has recovered, it is a good opportunity to send troops to attack Jingzhou again! Brother Quan, this time I personally command the army , Jiangdong's internal affairs are all in your hands!"

"Brother!" Sun Quan blurted out, "This is absolutely impossible!"

"Why?" Sun Ce smiled proudly, patted Sun Quan on the shoulder, and said frankly, "Do you not trust me, or do you not trust my vision? Don't worry, after I leave, Jiangdong will be handed over to you, and I will rest assured!"

Sun Quan was taken aback when he heard the words. He looked at Sun Ce's clear and trusting eyes, and opened his mouth, intending to express all the worries in his heart.But when the words came to his lips, it became a sentence: "Then Quan hereby wishes the eldest brother a successful start, and personally beheads Ma Chaoxiang's head!"
