Chapter 101 Dominating Jiangdong



Sun Ce is the greatest villain in the world.

Qiao Jingjing is the most notorious thief in the world, and her wife is a scoundrel.

She's known in the underworld as "Big Sister-in-law".

Back then, her crazy mother had even cursed her as a "thieving woman" without any restraint.

This statement proved prophetic!

Sun Ce defeated Huang Zu, subdued Yuzhang, and finally took control of the entire Jiangdong region.

To consolidate these territories, Sun Ce appointed his cousin Sun Ben as the governor of Yuzhang, and at the same time divided Yuzhang into Luling Commandery, appointing his cousin Sun Fu as the governor of Luling, while Zhu Zhi continued to govern Wu Commandery.

Thus, the six counties of Jiangdong, which would later be commonly known as Wu County, Kuaiji, Danyang, Yuzhang, Luling, and Lujiang, had all fallen into the hands of the Sun family.

The foundation for the future Three Kingdoms, the Great Wu of Jiangdong, had already been laid.

At that time, Zhou Yu had already led an army of 10,000 to guard Baqiu.

Taishi Ci led his troops to garrison Jianchang and governed Haihun County.

Guo Jia, the brilliant strategist from the north, had just comforted Cao Cao, telling him not to worry about Sun Ce.

Cao Cao, however, could only look up to the sky and sigh, saying, "The lion cub is hard to contend with!"

News of Sun Ce's great victory in attacking Huang Zu reached the Qu'a and Kuaiji areas of Wu Commandery.

Those who openly supported Sun Ce praised him with great fanfare, going from street to street.

It is said that Lord Wu was brave.

Lord Wu is domineering!

Of course, there are also many people who openly support others while secretly doing bad things.

Among this vast masses, there are so many people who were defeated and driven away by Sun Ce in the past, and who are now confusedly mixed together. How can one tell who is who?

Sun Ce returned to Wu in triumph.

Along the route from Dantu to Wujun, people on both sides of the river lined the road to welcome them, beating drums and gongs.

Qiao Jingjing followed beside Sun Ce.

The same, riding a fine horse.

Traverse mountains and rivers.

They received applause.

All she heard were praises of Sun Ce coming from both sides of the road, as well as compliments on her beauty.

That feeling.

It's roughly equivalent to praising someone today for achieving success in both love and career, thus reaching the pinnacle of life.

A continuous stream of applause and praise.

Qiao Jingjing was worried that Sun Ce might have been blinded by greed.

But Sun Ce would only glance at her from time to time, his eyes filled with a smile and a tenderness rarely seen in the eyes of a man who had fought on the battlefield.

Qiao Jingjing is a time traveler.

She knew about the conflicts between the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It is also known that historians say the conflict between the Three Kingdoms was actually caused by Sun Ce's great strength, who seized control of Jiangdong at a young age.

As for how Sun Ce died and how Sun Quan protected Jiangdong.

Qiao Jingjing sighed countless times at this chaotic era that produced so many heroes!

She never wanted to change.

But every time Sun Ce looked at her, she read a tenderness, an understanding, and a heartwarming love in his eyes.

In her heart, she unexpectedly felt a desire to be with him forever.

Such an unreasonable thought!

He is her husband.

She and he were husband and wife; in any dynasty or era, they would share both honor and disgrace, and their fortunes would rise and fall together.

Every extra glance she gave him.

I always think of him as such a heroic man who lost his father when he was young and fought hard to get every inch of land he had.

Sun Ce still has the arrow wound on his leg from when he attacked Xue Li years ago.

He had numerous knife wounds on his chest, back, and front.

But they appear glamorous in public.

As Sun Ce's territory grew larger and larger, more and more talented people gathered around him, and his reputation became more and more renowned, yet he remained humble.

On the contrary, he was respectful to the virtuous and showed greater tolerance for others.

In the past, Sun Ce would often use heavy weapons to kill those who resisted him.

He has changed now.

He now acts with increasing benevolence and righteousness, treating those who fought alongside him well, giving them important positions, and allowing their talents to be fully utilized. As for the families of soldiers who tragically died, he is sure to treat them generously.

The so-called art of benevolent rule and hegemonic rule.

Qiao Jingjing actually despised herself for being shallow.

When they parted at the gate of Lujiang that year, before she had experienced Sun Ce's suffering, she immediately advised him to be cautious in killing.

Now, however, he is praised for his magnanimity and decisiveness, for tolerating what others cannot tolerate.

This shows how difficult it is for a person to live in this world.

Sun Ce was simply first acting as a tyrant, and then as a benevolent ruler.

Then, the domineering and benevolent approaches are used alternately.

This point is exemplified by Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Xun, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of Han and the ancestor of Emperor Xian of Han. He rose from a prisoner to the emperor, bringing the glory of the Han Dynasty to its peak. In his later years, when instructing the crown prince on the principles of politics, he said, "The Han Dynasty has its own system, which is a mixture of the ways of the hegemon and the king."

Sun Ce proved the rationality of this theory through his own practice.

Qiao Jingjing desperately hoped that those who had submitted to her and praised Sun Ce were sincere.

Return to Wu County.

It was already the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Sun Ce's aunt, Lady Sun, and the mother of General Xu Kun, also returned to her parents' home to celebrate the festival with her sister-in-law, Lady Wu.

Madam Sun and Madam Wu, along with many of the Sun family's daughters-in-law, eagerly awaited their arrival.

Madam Wu waited anxiously day and night, and finally her sons returned.

In her eyes, no matter how many military achievements Sun Ce made, he was just her son.

She only cared whether her sons were hungry or injured.

Her tiger-like sons finally returned to her side.

Madam Wu was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears, but she could only hold her sons' hands tightly: "Quickly, come inside and have a pot of warm wine, and have someone set out the meal!"

A family reunited.

They started eating again.

Sun Shangxiang squeezed over and sat next to Qiao Jingjing.

“I’ve heard about your fighting on the front lines, sister-in-law! They said that a soldier from Jingzhou pretended to be drowning and lured you and Ameng to rescue him, intending to use you as a hostage and force you into the water. But you ended up tying his feet instead, right?”
