Among the generals of the Three Kingdoms, the ninth is Sun Ce.

Sun Ce (175-200), the name Bofu, was a native of Fuchun, Wujun (now Fuyang, Zhejiang). Sun Jian's eldest son and Sun Quan's eldest brother. A warlord in the late Eastern Han Dynasty who seized the Jiangdong area, one of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, and one of the founders of Sun Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he is nicknamed "Little Overlord".

In order to inherit the legacy of his father Sun Jian, he succumbed to Yuan Shu, and later broke away from Yuan Shu and unified Jiangdong.

He was wounded by an Assassin during a hunt and died shortly thereafter at the age of twenty-six.

His younger brother Sun Quan took over Sun Ce's power, and after being proclaimed emperor, he posthumously named Sun Ce as the king of Changsha Huan.

Sun Ce was born by the Wu family. According to the record of "Sou Shen Ji", Mrs. Wu dreamed of the sun and the moon, and gave birth to Sun Ce and Sun Quan.

…… ……

Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, was killed by Zhu Jun (jù

Recommended as Zuojun Sima, when attacking the Yellow Turban, he left his family to live in Shouchun.

When Sun Ce was a teenager, he made friends with celebrities in Shouchun, and he was already famous, and Zhou Yu, a native of Shu County (now southwest of Lujiang, Anhui), admired the name of Sun Ce and made a special trip to Shouchun to visit.

Zhou and Sun are the same age, and they are both young and ambitious, and Yingda is long-aspiring. Therefore, when Yu Shouchun saw it, he treated each other sincerely. Later, Zhou Yu persuaded Sun Ce to move to Shu County, and Sun Ce agreed.

So, Zhou Yu gave up the mansion on the side of the road for Sun Ce to live, and ascended to worship his mother, communicated with each other, and knew each other at a young age, which was known as "the good of the total horn".

…… ……

In the second year of Chuping (191), Sun Jian was ambushed and killed by Liu Biao's subordinate Huang Zu for attacking Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and died at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve. Sun Ce was seventeen years old at the time, and at this time, Sun Ce had already married a wife and had children, and they all lived in Shouchun with the old lady, but the historical materials did not leave his wife's name.

Sun Ben (Sun Jian's nephew) escorted Sun Jian's body back to Jiangdong and buried Sun Jian in Qu'a, where Sun Ce moved his family to Jiangdu after the funeral.

In the fourth year of Chuping (193), after Sun Ce's filial piety was completed, he crossed the river with his family to live in Jiangdu, preparing to find Yuan Shu of Shouchun to recover his father Sun Jian's old ministry and avenge his father.

Yuan Shu formed an alliance with Sun Jian in 190 during the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and once privately recommended Sun Jian to the imperial court as the general of the Broken Prisoner and the assassin of Yuzhou, and annexed Sun Jian's army after Sun Jian's death.

…… ……

Sun Ce often went to Yangzhou to meet with the local celebrity Zhang Hong

g）。 The two often talk about major events in the world, and they talk about it all day, a bit like Liu Bei meeting Zhuge Liang.

Sun Ce and Zhang Hong revealed their hearts, he said:

"At present, Hanzuo is in decline, the world is in chaos, and heroes and heroes are all supporting their own troops and developing their own plans. No one is out of public interest to help the trouble. His father once broke Dong Zhuo with the Yuan family, but his exploit failed, and he was unfortunately killed by Huang Zu. Although I am young and knowledgeable, I have the heart to make a career.

"Now, I want to go to Yuan Shu and ask him to hand over my father's old ministry to me as the commander, and then go to Danyang (Xuancheng, Anhui) to rely on my uncle Wu Jing, collect scattered soldiers, and take revenge on Wu County (Wu County, Jiangsu) and Huiji (Shaoxing, Zhejiang) in the east, and become a foreign vassal subject to the imperial court, what do you think?"

Speaking of emotion, Sun Ce unconsciously shed tears in his eyes.

Seeing Sun Ce's generous words, Zhang Hong's expression revealed the spirit of loyalty and heroism, and he was deeply moved, and expressed his opinion to Sun Ce:

"When the Zhou Dynasty was late, the Duke of Qi Huan and the Duke of Wen of Jin came into being; Once the royal family is at peace, the princes can only pay tribute to the Zhou Dynasty and do their duty as courtiers.

"You inherit the majesty of your father, brave and good at fighting, if you can really live in Danyang, gather Wu County, Huiji soldiers and horses, then, Jingyang Erzhou can be swept away, and revenge is just around the corner. At that time, you relied on the Yangtze River, worked hard to be virtuous, swept away the heroes, and supported the Han Dynasty, and the achievements you built would never be inferior to Qi Huan and Jin Wen, and you would definitely be famous for eternity, how could you not just be a foreign domain?

"The world is difficult at the moment, if you want to make a contribution, you should go south, and I will support you with my friends."

supported Sun Ce, as well as Zhang Hong's only daughter Zhang Weiyi.

It turned out that Sun Ce always came to their house and talked about the world with her father, Sun Quan was handsome, and he was a famous figure at that time, so he couldn't help but fall in love, and later, he married Sun Ce.

The two got married in Yangzhou and lived for a while, and Sun Ce wanted to send Zhang Weiyi back to Jiangdu to live with his mother, wife and other families. Zhang Weiyi said, "It's better to take the old lady and your wife to Yangzhou and live with our family." The eldest husband can't entrust the snake family, you have to go out, and then, you will encounter a lot of difficulties, and you will be concerned about the family, how can you wholeheartedly avenge your father and run for your career? They are in my house, and I can take care of them more, so you just have to rest assured. ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he was very grateful to Zhang Weiyi, so he and Zhang Weiyi found their father-in-law Zhang Hong and told Zhang Hong what Zhang Weiyi thought, Zhang Hong also supported this idea, and said something encouraging to Sun Ce like a daughter.

Sun Ce listened to Zhang Hong's words, his heart was uneasy, and he said to Zhang Hong, "Then it's a word!" I'll get started right away! I'll go back to Jiangdu and move my family over, and I'll entrust it all to you. I hope you will take care of me so that I have no worries. ”

At that moment, Sun Ce set off to return to Jiangdu, moved his mother, wife, daughter and younger brother to live with Zhang Hong's family.

…… ……

After Sun Ce entrusted his mother, wife and daughter and young brother to Zhang Hong, he immediately rushed to Shouchun to meet Yuan Shu.

With tears in his eyes, he told Yuan Shu what he thought.

Yuan Shu listened to his language, observed his demeanor, and knew that he could bend and stretch, and he had great advantages. But if you want to return Sun Jian's old department to him immediately and let him stand on his own, he is unwilling.

So, Yuan Shu said, "I have appointed your uncle Wu Jing as the Taishou of Danyang, and your cousin Sun Ben as the captain. Danyang is a place to send elite soldiers, you can go to them and gather soldiers. ”

Wu Jing used to follow Sun Jian's expedition and had military exploits, and was named the captain of the cavalry, and later Yuan Shu was defeated by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and retreated to Jiujiang, Yuan Shu asked Wu Jing to serve as the Taishou of Danyang, defeated the former Taishou Zhou Xin, and then occupied Danyang County.

Sun Ce, Sun He, and Lü Fan defected to Wu Jing to recruit soldiers in Danyang, and was once attacked by Zulang, the marshal of Jing County, but fortunately Cheng Pu's guards broke out of the encirclement.

Later, he joined everyone to crusade against the Jingxian thief Zu Lang and beat Zu Lang away, and Sun Ce recruited hundreds of people.

Then, Sun Ce took hundreds of people to meet Yuan Shu. Only then did Yuan Shu return more than 1,000 of the thousands of people in Sun Jian's old department to Sun Ce's command.

The Han court's Taifu Ma Ri 磾 (dī) held the festival to pacify the Kanto region, recruited Sun Ce in Shouchun with a courtesy, and announced that the imperial court appointed Sun Ce as the captain of Huaiyi.

Yuan Shu's general Qiao Rui (

uí), Zhang Xun and others also admired Sun Ce's demeanor.

Zhang Xun had a daughter named Zhang Yao (yáo), who was also married to Sun Ce as a concubine. After Sun Ce married him, he sent Zhang Yao back to Zhang Weiyi's home in Yangzhou, so that Sun Ce was a wife and two concubines.

…… ……

Even Yuan Shu often sighed when he saw Sun Ce's young hero and said: "If I can give birth to a son like Sun Ce, I will have no resentment even if I die." ”

Yuan Shu has a daughter, named Yuan Miao, two years older than Sun Ce, Yuan Shu told Sun Ce that he wanted to marry his daughter to him, Sun Ce was not easy to refuse, so he accepted it and sent it to Yangzhou, so that Sun Ce would have one wife and three concubines.

…… ……

Sun Ce's subordinates had a cavalryman, and after committing the crime, in order to escape punishment, he fled into Yuan Shu's military camp and hid in the stable. Sun Ce sent people to chase him, rushed straight to Yuan Shu's camp, searched out the criminals, and beheaded them on the spot.

After the incident, Sun Ce went to visit Yuan Shu, explained the situation, and apologized to him. Yuan Shu said: "There are often rebellions among the soldiers, so you should do this, thank you?" ”

This incident further enhanced Sun Ce's reputation, and the army was even more in awe of Sun Ce.
