Chapter 086: The Man Who Has Luck

Historically, after Sun Hao succeeded to the throne, he began a superstitious, faint, and brutal career in power, which lasted for a full seventeen years (264-270) under such unstable management.

【The Man with Luck】

Sun Hao was so fucked up in history, he was unconscious, superstitious, and brutal, but why could he still be the emperor for seventeen years? I personally analyzed it for a long time and thought that there was only one main reason, he was lucky enough! Forgive me for not thinking of any other reason than that.

Judging from Sun Hao's performance, he has not changed much, except for pretending to be a few days at the beginning of the stage, and soon his true form was revealed, and he unthankfully executed Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu, and later prepared to poison Wan Yu, which also has a lot to do with the negligence of these old brothers.

First of all, Sun Hao's coming to power actually has an inseparable relationship with his father Sun He. In the early years, Sun He was actually a very tragic character in the dispute between the two palaces, and was later forced to commit suicide by Sun Jun, so there were many ministers who sympathized with him, and after Sun Xiu's death, Sun Hao was able to succeed to the throne, which was one of the big factors. Sun Hao's brutality may also be related to this, Sun Hao, as Sun He's eldest son, may think that Sun Wu originally belonged to his family, so everyone owes him, and he may have to bow his head when the family lost power before, so the rebound is very strong.

At the beginning of Sun Hao's succession, Shu Han had perished, and soon Sima Zhao also died, and Sima Zhao's successor Sima Yan was not Sun Wu after taking power, but to prepare to change the dynasty, so Wu was able to favor one side. After the Wei Dynasty of the Jin Dynasty, the Sima family still needed some time to digest, so they didn't care much about the Wu State.

Sun Hao thought that this was an opportunity, so he attacked Jin on a large scale, and finally reluctantly recovered Jiaozhi and other places. At that time, Sun Hao was able to recover Jiaozhi, on the one hand, because he was helped by Tao Huang, who was familiar with the local environment, and on the other hand, because Huo Yi, the assassin of Jiaozhou, happened to die, and the Jin army in Jiaozhou could not get effective support.

Two years after pacifying Jiaozhou, he rebelled against Sun Wu and took refuge in the Jin Dynasty, when Sima Yan sent Yang Hu, Yang Zhao and others to lead troops to support. Under normal circumstances, there are no major mistakes in the performance of Yanghu, Yang Zhao and Bu Yan, Bu Yan stuck to the fortified city, Yang Hu and Yang Zhao led a heavy army to support, and Sun Hao has been in power for a long time, Sun Wu is uneasy at home, and the army is unstable, in fact, the Jin army should be victorious, and then Sun Wu can be destroyed if it goes further.

However, Yanghu, Bu Yan and others tragically met Lu Kang, and the good situation was turned over by Lu Kang, and even the final Wu general Zhu Qiao and Du Du Yu Zan's defection were reversed by Lu Kang, and then Jin Jun was beaten to doubt his life, director, this script is wrong!

After the Jin army lost successively in the Battle of Jiaozhi and the Battle of Xiling, even if they knew that Sun Hao had been defeated at that time, the Jin Dynasty had lost the confidence to destroy Wu in one fell swoop. Afterwards, Yanghu also deeply reflected and realized that although the national strength of Wu had declined, it still had a certain strength, especially in Jingzhou, where there were still outstanding generals like Lu Kang presiding over the military, and the war between Wu and Wu should not be rushed. Therefore, he adopted a two-sided strategy of military encroachment and advocating Xinyi in order to accumulate strength, disintegrate the other side, and find a suitable time to destroy Wu.

And so another few years passed. Soon Lu Kang died, Sun Hao did not change in the slightest, Wu Guojiang was declining, and when it came to the second year of Jin Xianning (276), Sima Yan changed the title of Yanghu to the general of Zhengnan, and restored all his powers before the demotion. At this time, Yanghu felt that the conditions for destroying Wu were ripe, so he wrote a letter requesting troops to attack Wu, and wrote the famous "Please Attack Wu Shu" in history. This performance was affirmed by Sima Yan, but it was opposed by other ministers in the court, and the attitudes of the powerful ministers Jia Chong, Xun Xuan, Feng Zhen and others were particularly fierce. They proposed that the Xianbei in the northwest region was undecided and should not fight on two fronts. Only a few people such as Du Zhi Shangshu Du Pre and Zhongshu Ling Zhang Hua agreed. It was at this time that the Hu people disturbed the border, and the Jin army suffered repeated defeats in Qin and Liang, and Yanghu's proposal was shelved.

As a result, Yanghu basically made all the preparations to destroy Wu, but he failed to see the destruction of Wu until he died, until three years later, Du Pre recommended by Yanghu proposed to destroy Wu again, and was finally adopted by Sima Yan, the first year of Jin Taikang (280), the Jin army crusaded against Sun Wu on six roads, Wang Jun approached Jianye, Sun Hao chose to surrender, Wu officially perished, and three points returned to Jin.

After Sun Hao became the emperor of Wu, he basically did nothing, he couldn't listen to the advice of the ministers, and almost everyone who dared to disobey him was sent by him to see the king of Hades.

It's just that Sun Hao's luck is too strong, because the Sima family has just destroyed Shu and the rebellion of Zhong Hui and others, they didn't take advantage of him to attack, and later because of Sima Zhao's death, there was no time to pay attention to Sun Wu about the change of dynasty, which made Sun Hao very relaxed after coming to power, and he could act recklessly; After the Jin Dynasty withdrew its hand, it suffered successive defeats in the Battle of Jiaozhi and the Battle of Xiling, especially after the Battle of Xiling, the Jin Dynasty temporarily lost the confidence to destroy Wu, and gave Sun Hao several years of pleasant time; After Lu Kang's death, Yanghu was ready to destroy Wu, and the time was ripe, but unfortunately he happened to encounter the northern nomads making trouble, and Sun Hao once again got a few years of joy.

So Sun Hao said: Brother is cruel and unkind, Brother is dizzy, Brother is superstitious about ghosts and gods, but Brother is lucky, no one can clean up Brother for a long time, what can you do.

【Sun Hao's Death】

After Sun Hao returned to Jin and came to Luoyang, he was given the title of Gui Ming Hou, and was received by Emperor Wu of Jin, in the face of Emperor Wu of Jin's questioning, Sun Hao was neither humble nor arrogant, saying that this seat was also set up in the south to wait for Emperor Wu of Jin. After that, Sun Hao lived in Luoyang, and once Emperor Wu of Jin played chess with Wang Ji, Wang Ji asked Sun Hao: "I heard that you peeled people's faces and cut people's feet when you were in Wu, is there such a thing?" Sun Hao replied, "If he is rude to the monarch as a minister, he should be punished in this way." In fact, it was a ridicule of Wang Ji, who sat in front of the emperor in an improper manner.

According to the record of "The New Language of the World", Emperor Wu of Jin once asked Sun Hao: "I heard that people in the south like to make Erru songs, can you make one?" Sun Hao was drinking, and took the opportunity to hold a wine glass to persuade Emperor Wu of Jin to drink and said: "In the past, I was a neighbor with you, and now I am a minister with you." A glass of wine on you will make you live a long life! "Emperor Wu of Jin very much regretted letting him compose poems.

In the fifth year of Taikang (284), Sun Hao died in Luoyang at the age of forty-two and was buried in Beibi Mountain in Luoyang. Empress Teng personally wrote a mourning essay for him, and the article was very sad and sad.
