Chapter 53: The Mystery of Sun Ce's Fate
Sun Ce, the character Bofu, is nicknamed Xiaobawang in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. We know that the Sun-Wu Group was the overlord of the tiger at that time.
And Liu Bei was also unstingy in cooking wine and talking about heroes, praising him as the leader of Jiangdong. It can be said that in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Ce occupied an extremely important position, and it is no exaggeration to say that if there was no Sun Bofu, the establishment of the Eastern Wu regime would be like a mirror.
But I have always had doubts about the cause of his death, and today I will discuss with you my experience in reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In ancient China, power was hereditary, and when my father died, the position was always passed on to my son, but Sun Ce actually handed over power to his younger brother Sun Quan, which alone gave me a lot of reverie.
Let's deduce the truth from Sun Ce's death. Regarding his fate, from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, people think that it was done by Xu Gong Sanmenke.
In the original book, it is said: In April of the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce went out hunting, he rode a high-class BMW, galloped away the deer, and the people who followed him would definitely not be able to catch up.
Just as he was galloping as fast as the wind, suddenly three men leaped out of the grass, bent their bows and arrows, and shot at him.
In a hurry, Sun Ce didn't have time to dodge, and he was hit by an arrow in the cheek. At this time, the cavalry behind had already arrived and killed the three people, but Sun Ce was seriously injured at this time.
It turned out that Sun Ce had killed Wu Jun Taishou Xu Gong. It is recorded in the biography of Jiangbiao that Xu Gong sent a table to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, saying that Sun Ce was brave and should recall the Jingshi to control its use and avoid future troubles.
The watch was obtained by Sun Ce's spies, who rebuked Xu Gong and ordered him to be hanged. After Xu Gong's death, his disciples hid among the people, looking for an opportunity to avenge him, and this time he finally succeeded.
Sun Ce was hit by an arrow, and the pain was terrible. Knowing that he would die soon, he invited Zhang Zhao and others to entrust the future.
He said: "China is in turmoil, and the people of Wu and Yue, and the solidity of the three rivers are enough to see success or failure." The public is kind to my brother, and my brother is the later Sun Quan. But I think it's worth scrutinizing, because a person like Sun Ce, who has been fighting with troops all year round, is uncertain, and how do assassins know his whereabouts. Besides, as a leader of one party, going out hunting, this is definitely a first-class secret, and only the closest people around him will know about it, and it is difficult for outsiders to know, and how can the three guests of the Xu family wait there for the rabbit? Maybe it seems to be a matter of course. However, I think that someone deliberately revealed Sun Ce's whereabouts to Xu Gong's three disciples, or that it was not Xu Gong's disciples at all, or a killer sent by some people. Hehe、Maybe I explain it like this, and you may think it's a bit far-fetched. Then I'm talking about Sun Quan, the royal family has never had a father-son sibling relationship in history, who Sun Quan is, Sun Ce knows very well. Sun Quan has been very smart since he was a child, and when Sun Ce raised his army, Sun Quan was good at raising guests. Sun Quan often participated in the deliberation of schemes, and Sun Ce was particularly surprised, believing that he was inferior to him. It is recorded in the official history that whenever he invited guests to a banquet, Sun Ce often looked back at Sun Quan and said: These people will be your subordinates in the future. "Actually, it's not surprise, but fear, what kind of person Sun Quan is, when he is an elder brother, he naturally knows.
If this still makes everyone feel far-fetched, let's go back and look at the final results of the five brothers of the Sun family, in addition to Sun Ce and Sun Yi being assassinated, Sun Kuang's death is unknown, and Sun Lang was imprisoned by Sun Quan for life, I think this matter is obvious that Sun Quan did something, and Sun Ce's death is very likely to be the result of Sun Quan's secret murder.
From the above analysis, it is not difficult for me to conclude the final result, Sun Ce's position in the river was passed on to his younger brother when he was dying, even if he was born as a military strategist, but the basic political phenomenon is absolutely clear.
Although the power was handed over to his younger brother, he continued the dominance of the Sun family in Jiangdong, and I think it is more important to leave a way for his wife and children to live.
The official history was also written by the victors, and at that time the rights of the historians were far less gradual than after the Tang Dynasty.
