At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many famous generals, but Sun Jian was definitely a god of war in this pile of famous generals, and as a descendant of Sun Wu, he also left a strong mark in the history, and his life was also a legend.
1. Extraordinary military man
At that time, thieves were raging in the township, some pirates killed people on the shore to share the booty, passers-by did not dare to mix, only Sun Jian stepped forward, in front of the pirates for a while to point east, a moment to the west, as if directing something. The pirates did not dare to fight with Sun Jian at all, and fled everywhere, and Sun Jian took advantage of the pirate chaos to kill a pirate leader, the pirates were even more panicked, and Sun Jian was famous.
Sun Jian, who was only seventeen years old, was brave but not reckless, used suspicious tactics to drag down the pirates, and immediately made a decision, killing decisively, and had the most basic conditions for becoming a famous general.
At the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which was raging later, the core member of the Eastern Han military circles, the Cheqi general Zhu Juan, also named Sun Jian to help quell the rebellion, and Sun Jian's troops assisted the officers and men along the way, and he was also promoted for his merits. The imperial court sealed him to Changsha as a taishou, when Changsha was besieged by thieves, Sun Jian put down the rebellion in less than a month, and also lifted the crisis in the surrounding counties of Lingling and Guiyang, proving that he could not only assist the officers and soldiers, but also lead the troops alone.
Sun Jian's army was strict, Bian Zhang Han Sui rebelled, Dong Zhuo was unfavorable, the imperial court asked Zhang Wen to lead the army to quell the rebellion, Zhang Wen named Sun Jian to assist, Sun Jian suggested that Zhang Wen kill Dong Zhuo because of his unfavorable combat, but Zhang Wen could not bear to do it, just imagine, if Dong Zhuo was killed at that time, the Familiar Three Kingdoms period might not have come.
2. The vanguard officer of justice
Sun Jian had extraordinary military talent, and most of the time, he used his strength on the road of justice, such as against pirates, and so against Dong Zhuo.
Since serving as the county seat of Xia pi County, Sun Jian has pulled up a unit, which for various reasons has been following Sun Jian in the southern expedition to the northern war, in the alliance against Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian has always been a vanguard officer, and the Jiangdong tiger has also defeated Dong Zhuo with his own force, and even killed Dong Zhuo's governor Huaxiong.
Also in the revenge of Dong Zhuo's alliance, Cao Cao was beaten by Dong Zhuo's subordinate Xu Rong, and Sun Jian beat the tiger and wolf division under Dong Zhuo from Xiliang, and even wanted to form a son and daughter with Sun Jian, and Sun Jian resolutely refused the benefits given by Dong Zhuo, knowing that he was only subordinate to Yuan Shu at this time, if he was attached to Dong Zhuo, it would have greater benefits, and his move did not know whether it was out of selfishness or justice, but as far as the matter of his heart was concerned, his move was absolutely just.
3. The wayward butcher
But if he is really just a messenger of justice, then he is not Sun Jian. Sun Jian is a very simple person, because he does things like just to make himself happy, like a wayward child.
If he is a general, then he is a good general, but he is a commander, a prince of all the way, and it is not appropriate to do so.
Butcher Sun Jian
On the way to conquer Dong Zhuo, because the Jingzhou Assassin Shi was rude to him, he was killed by him, and Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi treated Sun Jian well, but because Sun Jian's request to borrow grain could not be met, he was also killed by Sun Jian. This move also led to Sun Jian's bad image in the hearts of the clan clan in Jingzhou, even if he was a hero who later begged Dong, the clan did not have any good feelings for him, and in that era, offending the shi clan was equivalent to offending everyone in which region.
After Dong's return, Yuan Shu, in order to compete with his brother Yuan Shao and expand his influence in Jingzhou, let Sun Jian fight with liu Biao, the trusted jingzhou leader, and Liu Biao's Huang Zu was defeated by Sun Jian, but Sun Jian was willful and rashly ambushed and killed by an arrow.
Sun Jianwu was superior, and had a certain loyalty to the Han Dynasty, if as a general, or a commander, he had the opportunity to leave the legend of "Wei Zhen Huaxia" like Guan Yu, but he was rash and wayward and encountered disobedient people with a "kill" word, this kind of person as a prince all the way is destined to be no one willing to defect to him, his defeat is doomed from the character, the character is destined to be he can only be a sad god of war.
