"If the art of making magic has a son like a grandson, why should he hate it after death?"
"Yi'er, it is difficult to fight with the front!"
Historically, both Yuan Shu and Cao Cao made such comments about Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong.
Yuan Shu's comment was like the sigh of the old owner, looking at Sun Ce, as if he saw sun Jian, an old subordinate who was brave and fierce in the past. Cao Cao's comments were from the perspective of the other side, and from cao Cao's point of view at that time, Sun Ce used a thousand soldiers and horses to put the land of Jiangdong into his pockets, and the sharpness of his soldiers was really strong.
Look at Sun Ce's life, before the age of 23, he inherited his father's business, has been working in Yuan Shu, and after the age of 23, because Yuan Shu was dissatisfied with the title of emperor, he broke up, took thousands of troops to go independently, and unified Jiangdong in less than 3 years. In the end, he was killed by Xu Gong's little doorman, and the ending was sighing!
If Sun Ce had not died early, would he have been able to take Jiangdong's sons to defeat Cao Cao and eliminate Liu Bei, sweep the world away, and usher in the final chaotic world? Actually, this is completely ok.
First of all, Sun Ce's ability is several times stronger than Sun Quan's.
When Sun Ce came to power, he forged ahead and conquered the six counties of Huiji, Wu County, Danyang, Yuzhang, Lujiang, and Luling in the past three years. Sun Quan only attacked Jiangxia County three times, and it took five years to finally capture it.
Even if Cao Cao was defeated at the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan did not dare to raise troops across the country and pursue Cao Cao with the momentum of breaking the ship and completing this hegemony.
As Sun Ce said before his death, his brother's talent is not the lord of pioneering, but the lord of shoucheng.
Sun Jian left a large legacy to Sun Ce before his death. Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu are all capable generals!
Sun Ce himself also recruited talents. Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others followed one after another, and even the general Tai Shi Ci of the Famous Three Kingdoms sincerely came to vote! The core figures of the last years of Eastern Wu, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhen, Lü Meng, and Zhou Tai, were also personally recruited by Sun Ce. In terms of selecting and appointing talents, Sun Ce is actually not worse than Sun Quan!
Finally, let's talk about the general trend of the world at that time.
In 200 AD, the year Sun Ce was assassinated, Cao Cao fought against Yuan Shao at the Battle of Guandu in the north. For the south, he could only sigh and wanted to marry Sun Ce to show his goodwill.
Almost all of Cao Cao's main forces confronted Yuan Shao at Guandu. Xun Yu is located in the rear. With the courage of Sun Ce and the wisdom of Zhou Yu, it was almost handy to capture Xu Du
After Sun Ce captured the city, Cao Cao had to move the capital to Luoyang in order to protect himself. At this time, Sun Ce was able to take advantage of the situation to close at least one-third of Cao Cao's territory, thus forming a huge encirclement network in the situation, encircling Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
Moreover, Liu Biao could not live for several years in history. (Died in 208.) After his death, Jingzhou will be in chaos. Sun Ce ordered Jingzhou to continue north to destroy Yuan Shao and regain Youzhou, and finally the soldiers pointed out that they would go all the way to the west and encroach on Guanzhong and Yizhou, so as to complete the hegemony of the unification of the world.
