Chapter 413: Beacon Fire

Sun Jian is a hero, although his fate is not good and he died early, but his son Sun Ce is also a hero, and on the basis of Sun Jian, Sun Ce carried forward and directly conquered all the territory of Jiangdong.

Because Sun Ce's foundation for establishing the State of Wu is still relatively strong, and his strength is also prominent, it is said that the strength of the State of Wu has been rising over the years, but it is a pity that Sun Ce has left a bane for himself.

Sun Ce actually has a lot in common with Cao Xing in some aspects, and he doesn't like those people from the same family as Cao Xing.

The family concealed the population, annexed the land, and controlled the finances, anyway, this series of behaviors made Sun Ce feel very disgusted, especially every time he did something, he had to be talked about and pointed at by these people of the family.

In the face of these things, the method adopted by Cao Xing is to let those people from the family go out of the Qin State by themselves, as long as they are not obedient and do not abide by the legal system of the Qin State, then there is no need to stay in the Qin State, otherwise it will only be difficult.

Those who were expelled from the Qin State of many families hated Cao Xing's policy. Although they are eager to eat Cao Xing's flesh and skin Cao Xing, Cao Xing's men have a strong army, and they can't risk killing their heads and putting the lives of their entire family into it.

Therefore, in the past few years, these families left the Qin State angrily one by one, but after the continuous development and improvement of the Qin State, the people of those families have gradually returned, and this time they no longer have the usual arrogance, but have a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, asking the officials of the Qin State to help them handle the household registration, they want to return to their roots, after all, they used to be people on this land.

If you ask these people from the family, why there is such a big contrast, the reason is very simple, the Qin State is strong, and those who once looked down on the Qin State now want to take the initiative to return.

For these people's requests, the local officials all reported to Cao Xing, and everyone thought that with Cao Xing's character of revenge, they would definitely refuse these people's requests, but what everyone didn't expect was that Cao Xing finally nodded and didn't say anything, and even expressed a welcoming attitude.

How can a big country be too stingy. People are not sages, who can do nothing, the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit. With the rejoining of these family members, as long as they abide by all aspects of laws and regulations, I believe that the Qin State will definitely become stronger with their accession.

Cao Xing's policy to these people from these families is to come and go freely anyway, but there are also limits, if this time you are on the last time, because you don't obey the law and want to escape from the Qin State, then don't want to come back after you go out.

However, Sun Ce is indeed much more ruthless than Cao Xing, once these big families dare to jump out to stop them, Sun Ce will not use any economic means to control them, you directly rush in with people to brush and brush, hundreds of thousands of heads, all cut down, these people of the family are out of sight and out of mind.

This is Sun Ce's thunderous means, although Sun Ce has risen to kill on the spur of the moment, but in these years, a certain time Sun Ce went out to hunt, because he ran too fast, so he was the only one in front, Sun Ce was concentrating on hunting, but at this moment, three people came out of the grass next to him.

These three people were all armed with bows and crossbows, not to mention Sun Ce's shooting in disguise, because the incident happened suddenly, even if Sun Ce had extraordinary martial arts, he couldn't react at all, so an arrow pierced Sun Ce's nose, disfiguring Sun Ce's entire face.

What's even worse is that the arrow has been identified by the medical officer, and it clearly indicates that it is poisonous, and everyone can't help but think of it at this moment. Liu Biao seems to have been rectified like this before. In the end, he died.

However, with Sun Ce's physique, it is quite okay to get through, but because the location of the wound is too close to Sun Ce's brain, even if the wound is treated in time, there is still a lot of venom into Sun Ce's head, Sun Ce will feel dizzy every day, especially whenever Sun Ce picks up the bronze mirror and sees his ugly appearance, he will always scream, and a mouthful of blood will spurt out.

This is not because Sun Ce's heart is too fragile, but because Sun Ce was majestic and heroic in the early years, beautiful Zhou Lang Sun Lang, this is the honorific title of the people of Jiangdong for the two of them, indicating that both of them were beautiful men in the world before.

However, now that Sun Ce has been misfigured, you can imagine how sad he is in his heart.

In the end, Sun Ce couldn't stand such a blow, and finally died of depression, of course, it is more accurate to say that the old injury recurred and died.

Sun Ce also had plenty of time before he died, and a series of arrangements were made behind him, many high-ranking officials of the Wu State were looking forward to it at the moment, if Sun Ce died, who would inherit Sun Ce's position?

Someone stood up and said without hesitation that when King Wu died, Sun Shao would be the one who would inherit his position, and Sun Shao was Sun Ce's eldest son, and he should inherit King Wu's position whether it was public or private.

Lao Tzu fights the country, and his son sits on the country, which is right, there is nothing wrong with this, but those people ignore an important issue, that is, because the trajectory of this world and history has produced a great deviation, so today's Sun Shao is just a five or six-year-old doll.

Of course, some people say that even if Sun Shao is still young, he can still serve as the king of Wu, and it is a big deal to arrange two auxiliary ministers. Isn't this kind of thing easy to solve?

Of course, these two reasons add up, it seems that there is nothing wrong, just when everyone thought that Sun Ce was going to pass on his son, Sun Ce made an unexpected decision, he called his second brother Sun Quan in.

When Sun Quan heard Sun Ce summoning him, the whole person was also surprised, he thought that Sun Ce wanted him to assist Sun Shao and make him the king of Wu, but he didn't expect that Sun Ce would pass the throne to him.

Sun Quan can be said to be not mentally prepared at all, although in the feudal era, there was also a saying that a brother dies and a brother, but why did it pass on to Sun Quan? This is a big doubt, because among Sun Jian's many sons, Sun Ce is the eldest son.

has a fiery temper and the greatest ability, but there are not no brothers similar to Sun Ce, why Sun Ce chose him, the taciturn second brother, is really a bit unbelievable.

Perhaps many ministers are puzzled, why is this, in fact, they ignore a more important fact, that is, Sun Ce seems to be usually bold, but he is the kind of selfless person, at least the kind of person who puts the country first and then himself, he values the state of Wu more than his interests, because the state of Wu was founded by him, and he can't let the state of Wu be ruined here.

When Sun Ce was hit by the arrow, he couldn't help but think of his father, how Sun Jian died, Sun Jian actually had a temper with Sun Ce, to be precise, Sun Ce inherited his father's temper, fiercely generalized, and constantly rushed forward in everything, as a result, even if you are excellent in martial arts, the first person to die is still you.

Today's Sun Ce was also attacked by assassins because of his greed.

Sun Ce thought that if he passed on someone with a similar personality to him, then would their family accept the same fate again and again, this was the question that Sun Ce had to think about, he thought about it, although several of his brothers were similar to his own personality, but he finally chose Sun Quan, for no other reason, just because Sun Quan was cautious.

In this way, Sun Ce's life came to an end like this, which is really a pity, he and his father are both heroes, but they all died in the hands of the little people.

After Sun Quan came to power, there seemed to be a lot of things to do, first of all, there were some old ministers who were not obedient to him, especially Sun Quan, and some worries, now the governor of Wu is Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's sworn brother, and he can't even do a throne, and he still talks about governing the country.

Therefore, after carefully watching the situation in Jiangdong, Sun Quan finally made his decision.

As soon as he changed Sun Ce's previous strategy of governing the country, Sun Ce's strategy was to carry out endless suppression of those families, not saying anything, just killing a large number of people, but Sun Quan reused those families, merged with which families, appointed people from the family, and let them help him take charge of the Wu State.

Sun Quan's move is a bit like when Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, accepting the family and achieving mutual benefit and win-win results.

However, this trick is used on Sun Quan at this moment, it can be said that he kills two birds with one stone, first of all, he quickly appeased many disobedient forces in Jiangdong, and Jiangdong's economy and people's livelihood have been better restored, this is Sun Quan's political achievements. Everyone didn't have anything to say when they saw this, after all, facts speak louder than words, and if they openly stand up and talk about these things, they will offend Sun Quan if they don't do it.

Another more important point is that because Sun Quan appointed people from the family, he also got his own power and quickly established his own group, which is a series of practices after Sun Quan came to power.

Although Jiangdong has settled down, now that three years have passed, it is still necessary to fight, and the two big countries in the north can no longer sit still.

Cao Cao and Cao Xing sent troops to the south almost at the same time, and they all knew that if anyone could conquer the two small countries in the south first, they would be able to take the lead, after all, Qin and Wei would still have an earth-shattering war after all.

Cao Xing personally led the men and horses to attack the narrow Meng Pass, and the hand generals of the Narrow Meng Pass, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and many other generals, saw Cao Xing's army coming, and they all tried their best to block it, and they would not let Cao Xing easily step out of Shu half a step.

However, Cao Xing used a strategy in this regard, that is, to send people to spread rumors, so that Liu Bei could hurry up as his internal response, corresponding to his time after conquering Shu, Cao Xing should be commensurate with the public wait.

Cao Xing's hand is also yin enough, Liu Bei obviously didn't do anything, but he asked Liu Bei to directly take it as an internal response, Liu Bei repeatedly argued that he and Cao Xing have absolutely nothing, but the speaker has no intention of listening to the intention, he Liu Bei said that nothing is not counted, and it depends on what others think.

First of all, Zhang Ren jumped out, he didn't dare to say that Liu Bei must have conspired with Cao Xing, but he had to guard against it, so he finally made a move on Liu Bei.

This time, the court of Shu was in chaos, and it was completely chaotic.

And Zhang Fei Guan Yu in front heard that Liu Bei in the rear was in danger, and the two were also shocked, although it is important to guard the door of Shu, but at the beginning, the three of them formed a righteous alliance in Taoyuan and swore allegiance to the Han family, now the Han family is completely gone, and the three of them seem to have lost their goals, but in the bumps of most of their lives, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have identified Liu Bei, the eldest brother, and heard that Liu Bei is in trouble, how can the two of them not save it?

So the two did not hesitate, and immediately took their soldiers and horses and hurriedly prepared to rush back to Chengdu, and at this moment there was some emptiness in Shu, Cao Xing directly launched a general attack, and conquered the narrow gate pass without saying a word.

And at this moment, Liu Bei is also a little embarrassed, what are you kidding, he was framed for no reason, and now he will be killed at any time, since Zhang Ren wants to take his Liu Bei's life, Liu Bei doesn't need to worry so much, the prince and general, ascend to the world, although this is his Liu Bei's ideal, but even if you want to be great, you must have a life to achieve it, so Liu Bei also made a move.

Liu Bei designed a pit to kill Zhang Ren, and got Zhang Fei Guan Yu's response, but at this moment Liu Bei did not overthrow Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, but put Liu Zhang under house arrest.

Liu Bei desperately guarded, which also made it a little difficult for Cao Xing to fight further. But no matter how difficult it is, Cao Xing gritted his teeth and waved his hand, and all the catapult machine crossbows were moved to him, and even Cao Xing got a new gift from Ma Jun, as such a huge thing to launch to support, except for Cao Xing, the rest of the people were all dumbfounded, and after a while, four big words popped out of Cao Xing's mouth, a red-clothed cannon.

This world has begun to have a transition from cold weapons to hot weapons, just like the Ming Dynasty in later generations, since this kind of thing has come out, then after the painstaking research of Ma Jun and other skilled craftsmen, in a few years, the red-coated cannon has formed a prototype, and now it can be put into normal use.

Isn't Shu known as having natural risks? Cao Xing wants to take a look at how dangerous he is, Cao Xuan directly ordered someone to pull the red-clothed cannon over and bomb it day and night.

Those cities can be said to have been devastated, listening to the cannons exploding in their ears every day, countless officials of Shu were forced to surrender, and after fighting for more than half a year, Cao Xing was finally about to conquer the capital of Shu, and at this moment Liu Bei also wanted to cry without tears, he had tried his best but he had no skills, but it was impossible for him Liu Bei to die like this.
