Chapter 327: Marriage Strategy
Wu Jun, Qu A.
The county hall gathered more than ten people.
Among them, there are elderly people in their early fifties, middle-aged people in their early thirties, and even children in their teens. Directly above the hall, sat a middle-aged man in his early thirties. This person's name is Wu Jing, and he is the younger brother of Sun Jian's wife, Mrs. Wu, and the uncle of Sun Ce and Sun Quan. Wu Jing served as the county commander of Qu'a, and he was also the cavalry lieutenant appointed by the imperial court, and he controlled Qu'a County.
He gave birth to a Chinese face, a mustache, and three slightly short beards under the chin, which was quite serious. His gaze swept over the people in the hall, and finally landed on a seventeen-year-old white-robed young general.
This person is none other than Sun Ce, who has returned to Qu'a.
In the past, Sun Jian was attacked by Liu Bei and died of illness on the way after being injured. Sun Ce brought Sun Jian's ashes back to Qu'a for burial, and personally took his mother and relatives to Qu'a for placement, while he also stayed in Qu'a temporarily.
"Ce'er, you're not too young. Two years ago, Wang Lei was eighteen years old, after he became an official, he was promoted all the way, and now he is only 20 years old. You are about the same age as Wang Lei in the past, and my uncle believes that your shoulders are enough to carry the future of the Sun family. ”
Wu Jing's expression was serious, he had some strength, but it was limited to Qu'a.
In the final analysis, the strength is still too thin.
Otherwise, Sun Jian's hatred, Wu Jing would not be able to sit idly by.
Sun Ce strained his face, his slightly green cheeks with a resolute expression, and said, "What are your uncle's plans?" ”
Wu Jing's eyes suddenly became sharp, he raised his head and chest, sat upright, and said slowly: "When Wentai was not very old, he served as the county commander, led soldiers across the battlefield, and crusaded against bandits, which can be called a hero for a while. You are the son of Wentai, so naturally you can't weaken Wentai's reputation, and you must make a career. ”
"Qu'a has some strength under my governance, and there is no danger for the time being."
"However, Qu'a is a small place after all, and staying in Qu'a for a long time won't help you in any way."
"If you want to become a divine dragon that gallops for nine days, you must have a bigger river."
"In the past year of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, your father led troops from Changsha to fight, and on the way to the Tiger Prison Pass, he killed all the way and killed many officials under Dong Zhuo's command, which made Dong Zhuo frightened, and even made Dong Zhuo send someone to contact your father and want to marry your father. It's just that at that time, Wentai decided that Dong Zhuo was a national thief, so he refused in one breath, and then participated in the battle against Dong Zhuo in the Tiger Prison Pass. ”
"At this time and at that time, Dong Zhuo was not needed before, but now it is different."
Wu Jing said: "Now you are like a trapped dragon, you have been staying in Qu'a, and you have no achievements. There was nothing to do all day except to train a few soldiers. In the long run, it will surely wear out your ambitions. Besides, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others follow you, not to suffer with you, but to follow you to make contributions. ”
After a pause, Wu Jing said again: "It's okay to suffer, but we must see the hope of making contributions." If you suffer all day long, and you don't even see the slightest hope, then who wants to follow you? The foundation of Wentai is in your hands, and it cannot be sunk, but must be carried forward. So, you have to work hard. ”
After saying this, Sun Ce felt ashamed in his heart.
It has been nearly a year since he returned to Jiangdong, but he has achieved nothing, and he is ashamed in his heart.
Just mentioning Dong Zhuo, Sun Ce frowned.
What do you mean by this time and that time? Dong Zhuo was not needed before, what is Dong Zhuo needed to do now?
Sun Ce didn't speak, Sun Quan took the lead in asking, "If your uncle has any plans, just say it." As long as it is beneficial to our development, I am sure my brother will agree. After a pause, Sun Quan looked at Sun Ce again, and said slowly: "Revenge is not shared, then Liu Bei is already the Taishou of Runan County, we want to take revenge, we must accumulate strength." What do you think, brother? ”
The voice is very green, but the tone is resolute and calm.
Sun Quan is just a ten-year-old child, but his words are not regarded as children's nonsense.
Sun Ce nodded and said, "Please speak up uncle!" ”
Cheng Pu was the one who helped Sun Jian with advice, and after Sun Jian's death, he did his best to assist Sun Ce. Hearing Sun Jian's hatred, Cheng Pu also had a resentful look in his eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "Wu County Order, if you have any suggestions, just say it directly, as long as you can take revenge, I believe that the Lord Guild will adopt it." ”
Huang Gai clenched his fists and said, "Say it!" ”
Wu Jing said: "I just said this time, that time. Dong Zhuo was useless before, but now, I propose to marry Dong Zhuo, and Bo Fu will marry Dong Zhuo's daughter. At the same time, he asked Dong Zhuo for the position of Wu Jun Taishou. Now Wu County is divided and in the hands of different people, and I only control one county in Qu'a County. As long as Dong Zhuo appoints Ce'er as the Taishou of Wu County, he can use Qu'a as the foundation of Ce'er, and use Qu'a as a base to spread around, gradually control Wu County, and prosper the foundation of the Sun family. ”
Sun Ce frowned and said, "Uncle, when Dong Zhuo contacted his father, his father didn't agree, how could I do it?" Besides, Dong Zhuo is a national thief, how can he marry Dong Zhuo? ”
Sun Quan said: "Brother, I think my uncle's suggestion is okay. ”
Sun Ce still shook his head and said, "If my father knows that I am against his will, I am afraid that under Huangquan, he will also be unhappy." ”
Wu Jing scolded: "Could it be that you want to sit back and watch your father's great enmity? What happened to Dong Zhuo being a national thief? Wasn't Yuan Shao the Taishou of Bohai County appointed by Dong Zhuo? Wang Lei was besieged last year, and it was Dong Zhuo who corrected Wang Lei's name and appointed Wang Lei as the pastor of Jizhou in the name of the Son of Heaven, even Yuan Shu, what's wrong with this? ”
Cheng Pu took a deep breath and said in a low tone: "My lord, Wu County's suggestion can be adopted. Liu Bei occupies Runan, rapidly increasing his strength, and we are still in Qu'a County, and if this continues, the strength of the two sides will become more and more disparity. If you want to take revenge, you must use Dong Zhuo to control the power of the Son of Heaven, otherwise it will be difficult to win the position of Wu Jun Taishou. ”
Sun Ce's uncle Sun Jing remained silent, and after listening to everyone's words, he couldn't help but speak: "Ce'er, uncle agrees with the proposal of marriage. In troubled times, it is fundamental to enhance strength, and without strength, everything is empty. ”
For a time, everyone in the room agreed with the proposal.
"I think about it, I'll think about it again."
Sun Ce rubbed his temples and fell into deep thought.
"Brother, what else is there to consider. Revenge is not shared, and my father died on the way back, which is extremely miserable. Mother didn't even see your father for the last time, have you forgotten the tragic situation when your mother was holding your father's urn? Is there anything more important than a father's feud? ”
Sun Quan's eyes widened, and his immature cheeks were full of determination.
This situation made everyone present nod their heads. Sun Jian has several sons under his knees, Sun Ce is brave and good at fighting, Sun Quan is young but intelligent, assertive, and a rare talent.
Sun Ce gritted his teeth and nodded: "I agree with the marriage, who will go to Chang'an?" ”
"I'll go!" Sun Jing took the initiative to ask: "I am an elder, and it is most suitable for me to go to Chang'an." ”
Cheng Pu shook his head and said, "No, you are not suitable." ”
"Why?" Sun Jing asked.
Cheng Pu said: "This trip to Chang'an requires a person who can speak well, and he must also have a certain amount of martial arts. In my opinion, this person is none other than Zhu Zhi. Zhu Zhi's martial arts are extraordinary, and he is assertive and eloquent. He went to Chang'an to mediate, and he would definitely be able to obtain the Taishou of Wu County for the lord. ”
Sun Ce looked at Zhu Zhi and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Zhu Zhi didn't hesitate, hugged his fists and said: "Obey orders!" There was no worry in Zhu Zhi's eyes, but there was excitement. Once the marriage is successful, Sun Ce will get a huge opportunity for development.
