"First thing," Diao Chan took out a piece of information and handed it to Ma Chao: "Liu Bei has defeated the Southern Barbarian Meng Shu and led the army back to Chengdu, when the Yizhou Shi clan lord suddenly mutinied, and Liu Zhang was placed under house arrest to force him to abdicate with Liu Bei. Liu Bei pretended to shirk and disobeyed several times, and finally Liu Xie issued an order to crown Liu Zhang as the Duke of Anle, and Liu Bei as the general of the chariot cavalry, and lead Yizhou! ”

Ma Chao sighed, this matter had long been expected by him. It's just that he didn't expect that Liu Bei's plot to capture Sichuan and Shu would be so smooth, and it just happened in a sensitive period when he was scheming Xianbei. As a result, his eyes rolled for a round, barely looking at the information, and then he raised his head directly, waiting for the second thing in Diao's mouth.

"The second thing," Diao Chan's expression became more and more solemn, and he still took out a piece of information, and said with a gloomy expression: "According to the information intercepted by Wang Huayu, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, recently built a palace in Xuchang and divided the ministers and wise men. What's even more bizarre is that Cao Cao didn't know when he colluded with Gongsun Du of Liaodong, and recommended Gongsun Du, who has always been unpretentious to the Ma family, as the general of Zhengdong and the Marquis of Liaodong! ”

Ma Chao sighed again when he heard this, although the collusion between Cao Cao and Gongsun Du was somewhat unexpected, it was reasonable to think about it carefully. After all, Cao Cao got out of the predicament by making a fortune before the Ma family, so he would naturally set his sights on the four frontiers of the Han Dynasty and win over all the forces that could be co-opted.

However, although the Gongsun family of Liaodong is powerful and has many famous generals, they have always been nepotistic, and with their minds, 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 he will provoke the Ma family like a moth to a fire after eating Cao Wei's reassuring pill.

"Cicada, neither of these two things is a good thing, and the third thing should be a good thing, right?" Having said that, Ma Chao knew in his heart that if there was really a happy event. Diao Chan will not stay at the end to say, with his understanding of Diao Chan, this third thing is probably the most tricky and difficult to do.

Sure enough, after listening to Ma Chao's words, the expression on Diao Chan's face became more and more strange, and after handing the last piece of information in his hand to Ma Chao, he slowly spoke: "Jiangdong, it's messed up......"

"Messed up?" Ma Chao was stunned, this matter should be a good thing. Judging from Diao's reaction, it seems that things are not so simple.

Subsequently, after looking at the few descriptions on the letter, Ma Chao was shocked to realize that the civil strife in Jiangdong was even more tortuous and vicious than Liu Beiping, Meng Shu, and Yizhou...... And the reason for this is that Ma Chao underestimated a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. And that teenager is exactly what he shouldn't underestimate.

The boy's name was Sun Quan. Historically, he was the youngest emperor among the Three Kingdoms. But at the same time, he is also the person with the most privileged background and the most deserving of a hero.

Historically, Sun Jian's impatience and strength were almost inherited by the eldest brother Sun Ce, and the third Sun Yi also had the style of a general. But what about the second son of the Sun family, Sun Quan? Probably because his father and brother are too strong, his personality is a bit introverted and he doesn't like to talk much. It is no wonder that when his father and brother speak, he really only has the opportunity to say "yes".

Since then, Sun Jian doesn't value him very much, because Sun Quan has an older brother who is as strong as Sun Jian, and his father is not worried about having no successor.

"The eldest son is like a mountain, Bo Fu, when my father went on the expedition, you were 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 and didn't quite understand what it meant, but he also knew that his father was not very satisfied with himself after all, and his heart was a little depressed. In this way, he is even more silent.

The silent Sun Quan is not only silent, he likes to read. In the subset of history, he loves to read history the most, Taishi Gong's "Historical Records" and Ban Gu's "Book of Han", he reads it well, especially the story of Xiang and Liu competing for the world, he relish it.

Sun Quan also read military books, "Sun", "Wu", "Sima Fa", "Liutao", "Wei Xuanzi" and so on, and he couldn't release the volume. So much so that the brothers laughed at him: "Can you retreat from the enemy by looking at those bamboo slips?" Especially his younger brother Sun Yi, he always teased him: "Brother, come to the competition to test your skills, you can choose the same sword, gun and halberd, I will use my bare hands." ”

But this is such a person, a taciturn figure who is almost ignored by everyone in Jiangdong. When Sun Ce was seriously injured and carried out of Wu County to recuperate, he naturally began to take over Sun Ce's foundation at the age of sixteen. And as soon as he took office, this taciturn teenager suddenly seemed to be a different person. He seems to be able to understand political strategy and internal affairs, and he is sharp and sharp and to the point, and sometimes he is more cautious and strategic than Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and other old strategists, as if he was born to be a leader.

Especially for the defeat of Sun Ce's expedition to Jingzhou, he did not have the slightest flustery and helplessness of the hairy children, and endured it coldly for a month, watching several major gates in Jiangdong do their own thing, and his strength is strong. He was in the middle of it, motionless. However, after three months later, after those nobles and powerful people showed their anti-Sun intentions, he suppressed them with heavy troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, he even cleaned up the civil strife that might break out in Jiangdong calmly, and there was no turmoil, and his political skills were simply perfect.

In particular, the raiding of the family against those powerful clans to destroy the family, even the newborn baby was not spared, which made those fierce generals who were even stained with countless blood in their hands moved: after all, Sun Quan was only a sixteen-year-old boy......

Subsequently, Sun Quan used his outstanding leadership skills and unique political vision to vigorously rectify the prestige of Jiangdong, and personally led Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, Jiang Qin and other generals to tour the south to conduct military exercises, which made the Shixie of Jiaozhou tremble, and did not dare to take advantage of the Jiangdong riots to send troops to Jiangdong to get a piece of the pie.

After these talents were finished, Sun Quan seemed to have just begun his ruling strategy. He began to implement large-scale tuntian measures, introduced advanced farming and smelting technologies from the Central Plains, and opened a large number of businesses, sparing no money to sell war horses from Liaodong. Only half a year later, agriculture, handicrafts, commerce, and navigation in the Jiangnan region have made great progress, and there are faint signs of the shift of economic center of gravity from north to south in later generations.

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

Sun Ce, who woke up, was very pleased to see Sun Quan's changes in the past year or so, and even more pleased to see that Jiangdong had begun to have vitality: "Zhongmou, the imperial envoy Liu Wan commented on you's strange appearance, unstable bones, noble appearance, and the longest life!" At that time, I still didn't believe it, but now it seems that you really have the softness of a mother! ”

The mother mentioned by Sun Ce is their biological mother Wu, who is the old woman who values Liu Bei as her son-in-law in Ganlu Temple in the romance. This is naturally also made up by Old Man Luo, this Wu family was very far-sighted and courageous, and when he was forced to marry by Sun Jian, he nodded and agreed to marry Sun Jian as a weak girl.

After Wu married Sun Jian, the husband and wife were extremely harmonious, and Sun Jian also listened to his wife's words very much, even if sometimes his psychology was not smooth, he couldn't help but roar angrily, Wu came out, said a few words slowly, and then surrendered a roaring lion.

"Tranquility is better than restlessness, cold is better than heat, and tranquility is the right thing in the world." Sun Quan thought of this sentence in the "Tao Te Ching", and suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, he finally understood that his own method of governing Jiangdong was also to defeat impatience with quietness!

Sun Ce didn't understand this, or he didn't have the interest to understand this. He looked at Sun Quan, who already had a faint bit of princely bearing, and said a sentence that Sun Quan couldn't have imagined: "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 commanded the army, and the important internal affairs of Jiangdong are all taken care of by you! ”

"Big brother!" Sun Quan instantly changed and blurted out: "This matter must not be!" ”

"Why?" Sun Ce smiled proudly, patted Sun Quan on the shoulder, and said heartily: "Do you not trust me, or do you not believe in my vision?" Don't worry, after I leave, Jiangdong will be handed over to you, and I will put ten thousand hearts! ”

Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this, he looked at Sun Ce's clear and trusting eyes, opened his mouth, and wanted to express all the worries in his heart. But when the words came to his lips, it became a sentence: "That right hereby wishes the eldest brother a victory, and personally beheaded the horse to the top level!" ”
