"You're saying you haven't done anything meritorious? Giving me a few more children, isn't that a huge achievement?"
Sun Ce looked at Qiao Jingjing and smiled.
Qiao Jingjing's face turned bright red.
If Sun Ce can defy the laws of history, what's wrong with having a child with him?
Qiao Jingjing still had that charming smile.
She leaned against Sun Ce's chest.
“I knew before that you were fighting for Yuan Shu with your brothers, conquering cities and territories, but he was suspicious of you. I knew then that you had a hard time.”
After she married him and entered his family, she realized how much harder his life had been.
He was the one who charged into battle, the one who devised strategies to recruit talented individuals, and the one who also made enemies.
But the fruits of his labor were enjoyed by his entire family.
“What’s so difficult for me? Da Qiao, with you, everything feels so easy. Since I took office as the governor of Kuaiji, I’ve been surrounded by a group of generals and strategists, and my family’s life has been much smoother than before.”
Sun Ce guessed that Qiao Jingjing was pitying him for the hardships he had endured when his father died young.
And Qiao Jingjing and her family have also suffered greatly from displacement and hardship.
“Your mother told me personally that day that she would arrange some positions for your two younger brothers in the army.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jingjing quickly broke free from Sun Ce's embrace.
She shook her head at Sun Ce.
Sun Ce said, "I can offer you any position, let alone a minor one! But why didn't you just tell me? Are you afraid of putting me in a difficult position, or are you afraid I won't agree?"
Qiao Jingjing said it was neither.
"Over the years I have met many people, and many people say that Lü Bu was brave and the greatest warrior of his time..."
When Lu Bu was mentioned, Qiao Jingjing paused for a moment.
"You are my husband, and of course I love and cherish you. But it cannot be denied that Lü Bu is brave. If we talk about personal courage, in a one-on-one fight, there are few people who can match him."
Lu Bu was eventually strangled to death by Cao Cao at the White Gate Tower. The Red Hare horse was given to Guan Yu, and the whereabouts of the Fangtian Halberd are unknown.
Then look at Yuan Shu. He came from a good family and had a high social standing. He had once commanded eighteen warlords to fight against Dong Zhuo. He should have had all the prestige and influence he needed, but in the end, he insisted on declaring himself emperor, thus ruining his reputation in his later years.
Qiao Jingjing not only did not flatter Sun Ce, but also dared to speak the truth in front of him.
"A person's ability should match his or her virtue."
When Qiao Jingjing mentioned this, the first person that came to Sun Ce's mind was Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was very capable, and his talent was no less than that of Sun Bofu.
Zhou Yu, however, worked diligently under Sun Ce's command, not only because of their childhood friendship and Sun Ce's courteous treatment of him, but also because of Zhou Yu's own character.
“My two younger brothers grew up with me. How could I not know their abilities? They are all men. Others can fight on the battlefield and command thousands of troops. Of course, they also think they have the same abilities.”
Qiao Jingjing talked about Qiao Er and Qiao San.
“I know best that people have strengths and weaknesses. Zhang Zibu can never lead troops into battle like Zhou Gongjin, and A Meng can never organize documents and draw maps like Zhang Hong.”
My two younger brothers, if you were to send them to the battlefield to fight the enemy, perhaps the only time they would dare to fight to the death was back in Lujiang City when my father forced them, because they thought I was in grave danger in your army camp.
At best, they can only hold clerical positions! But they lack experience and are completely clueless about the ways of officialdom and interpersonal relationships.
In those years, it was my father who took care of things at home.
They're both lazy and good-for-nothing!
Later, my mother came back and spoiled them even more, making them completely ignorant.
