In the second year of Chuping (191 AD), that is, two years ago, Sun Jian and Liu Biao fought because of Yuan Shao's secret letter and because of a jade seal, and Sun Jian died in battle! Sun Ce was seventeen years old at the time, and he transported Sun Jian's coffin back and buried it in Qu'a County.

Liu Biao was powerful, Sun Ce could not compete, and decided to endure the humiliation, so Sun Ce crossed the river, lived in Jiangdu, and married handsome people, waiting to be raised wings, and avenging his father.

Sun Ce not only inherited the handsome appearance of Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wuhuan, but also inherited his bravery, and was even better in these two aspects, and was cheerful, straightforward, generous, good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, very good at employing people, talking and joking, and having a sense of humor, so he won the support of the scholars and the people, and the people were willing to serve him desperately.

Zhang Hong, a famous scholar in Xuzhou, lost his mother and lived in Jiangdu at the time. Sun Ce visited him several times, studied the general trend of the world with him, and had the heart to approach Zhang Hong and ask him to help him.

Sun Ce sighed and said tentatively: "At present, Hanzuo is in decline, the world is in chaos, and heroes and heroes are all supporting their own troops and developing in 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, and then go to Danyang to rely on my uncle Wu Jing, collect scattered soldiers, and take revenge on Wu County and Huiji in the east, and become a foreign vassal who submits to the imperial court. What do you think? ”

Zhang Hong felt that Sun Ce was not sincere to him, so he excused: "I see that it is simple, and I am in mourning, it is really difficult to help you with your affairs." ”

Sun Ce heard the intention of shirk, and immediately showed his sincerity: "Your name is well-known. People from all over the world yearn for admiration. Whether or not I succeed in these plans is up to you to decide. You have to be straight with me. If my ambition is extended, and my vengeance is avenged, I will never forget the grace of your teachings. ”

Speaking of emotion, Sun Ce unconsciously shed tears in his eyes, very sad, no matter how strong and open-minded he is, he is still a young man under the age of twenty after all, his father's revenge is difficult to revenge, there is an old mother, a younger brother and a younger sister, all supported by him, his father's old subordinates are all under Yuan Shu's hands, bound and unable to help him

Zhang Hong saw Sun Ce's generous words, and his expression revealed a sense of loyalty and heroism, and he was deeply moved, feeling that he was a person who could achieve great things, and after a deep sigh: "When the Zhou Dynasty was late in the Daoling Dynasty, the Duke of Qi Huan and the Duke of Wen of Jin could rise at the right time; Once the royal family is at peace, the princes can only pay tribute to the Zhou Dynasty and do their duty as courtiers.

If you can really live in Danyang and gather Wu County and 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? If you want to make a contribution, you should go south to Koto, and I will support you with my friends. ”

Sun Ce listened to Zhang Hong's words, and his heart was turbulent: "That word is a certainty!" I'll get started right away! It's just that I have an old mother and a young brother, and it is inconvenient to go with me, so now I entrust them all to you. I hope you will take care of me so that I have no worries. ”

Sun Ce, who had received the guidance of the masters, immediately rushed to Shouchun to see Yuan Shu. With tears in his eyes, he told Yuan Shu what he thought. Yuan Shu has always been very jealous of Sun Jian's old department, and he has seen Sun Ce's strength, and now he listens to his language and observes his behavior, and knows that he can bend and stretch, and he has great advantages. But he didn't have enough confidence to be able to subdue Sun Ce; Even if he took a step back and returned Sun Jian's old department to him so that he could stand on his own, he was unwilling, that Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhou Tai and others were all good generals, brave warriors, after thinking about it, 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 produce elite soldiers, look at the Danyang soldiers in Liu Bei's hands now, how elite they are! Go to them and gather your soldiers. ”

Sun Ce felt sorry in his heart when he saw that Yuan Shu was unmoved, but a big living person can't let his urine suffocate to death, right? I have to do the big things again! He picked up his mother and took Lu Fan, a native of Runan, and his younger brother Sun He to Qu'a, Danyang. Relying on his uncle's strength, Sun Ce soon recruited hundreds of soldiers. But unfortunately he was attacked by Zulang, the marshal of Jing County, and the whole army was wiped out, not to mention that he almost lost his life.

Sun Ce had no choice but to rejoin Yuan Shu's command and wait for an opportunity, and this opportunity would soon come!

Liu Xuan, the former assassin of Yangzhou, received a secret edict from the emperor to provoke a war against Yuan Shu, and gathered dozens of scholars who were willing to support the Han family to raise troops against Yuan, and Yuan Shu, who fought in the war, was defeated and retreated! This made Yuan Shu panic all day; His current territory is only the eastern part of Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and some land in the south of Xuzhou, and the entire Yangzhou is his foundation, if he loses it, his strength and power will be devastated, but there are really not many people under him who are capable!

In addition to the general Ji Ling, that is, Sun Jian's old department, since the battle of Fengqiu, Yuan Shu seems to be frightened by Xiahoudun, and he can't leave Ji Ling all day, he doesn't want Ji Ling to go to quell the rebellion, at this moment, Sun Ce came to ask for battle; Yuan Shu, who had long heard Sun Ce's reputation for good fighting, allocated him 30,000 troops and horses to quell the rebellion, and in this battle, Sun Ce's Liu Miao and others fled in embarrassment, and had the opportunity to kill Liu Xuan, but did not kill him, but drove them to Jiangdong purposefully!

This strategy was developed by Sun Ce's sworn brother Zhou Yu in the same year! When he heard that Sun Ce was leading the troops to quell the rebellion, he came out of his hometown to help Sun Ce! Even if a generation of military wizards is still very immature, their shots are still extraordinary!

After Liu Miao fled to Jiangdong, he pulled up Xue Li, the prime minister of Pengcheng, the minister of Xiapi, Lu Kang of the scholar clan and others, formed an alliance, and confronted Yuan Shu across the river in the Yangtze River. After Sun Ce returned to Shouchun, he kept his head in obscurity and waited for the opportunity; "This thing was bought back by my father's life! It's really unwilling to take it out now! Sun Ce rubbed the jade seal in his hand, a little sad, there was a person sitting opposite him, dressed in white, with an extraordinary appearance, and a peerless beautiful man; It's Zhou Yu! "I said that no matter how good this thing is, it is a dead thing after all, and it is of little use! To put it mildly, my uncle was also confused for a while, who wants to give whom, wouldn't it be real to exchange some benefits? The dignified son of heaven, such a big living person is not wanted? For this broken thing, you fight to the death!

Behold! Or Cao Cao and Cao Mengde are people who understand, when he pursued Dong Zhuo alone, the purpose was to welcome back the Son of Heaven, even if people didn't do it, didn't they still win a good name? What now? He got what he wanted! Put the Son of Heaven in Xuchang! This is to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes! ”

"Hahaha! You're right! Sun Ce patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder: "Listen to you!" I know who will harm me, and you will not hurt me! It was worth it to exchange him for several of my father's generals! I just don't know what they think! ”

Before the words fell, a mighty old general walked outside the door, and after he came, he first gave a light salute, and his eyes were tearful: "The eldest prince!" ”

"Uncle Huang?" , Sun Ce was a little surprised, and stepped forward to help Huang Gai: "Why are you here?" ”

"Today it's my turn to patrol the city, and I can't help but come in when I get here! Big Prince! I'll just say a word and leave, lest Yuan Shu be jealous of the eldest prince! All brothers are waiting for you to revive the majesty of the lord back then! Avenge him! ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, Sun Ce was stunned; "The rest is up to you! Bo Fu? I don't know when Zhou Yu walked up to Sun Ce and said with a smile;
