"Which of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will prevail? Jiangdong will be in the hands of the Sun family. Jingzhou and Yizhou will be decided by Liu Biao and Liu Zhang."
Qiao Jingjing really thought Sun Ce was adorable.
He tried his best to understand Qiao Jingjing, which was beyond the judgment of this era.
However, they could not avoid their own misunderstandings.
Liu Zhang and Liu Biao were all showy in name only; if they hadn't been enfeoffed as members of the Han imperial clan, their power would have been deeply entrenched.
How can their abilities compare to those of Sun Ce, who, after his father died, single-handedly commanded 500 men and started from scratch at the young age of seventeen, relying on his own bravery and courage?
"This world is full of hidden talents and heroes. Who knows who might suddenly emerge one day?" Qiao Jingjing said with a smile.
It was only the fifth year of Jian'an, and the young Zhuge Liang was still farming in Nanyang, Jingzhou.
At the age of thirty-nine, Liu Bei had just been defeated by Cao Cao, and Guan Yu had been captured. What followed was the long story of Guan Yu's solo journey of a thousand miles, passing five passes and slaying six generals, and Liu Bei's abandonment of Yuan Shao to join Liu Biao, where he won over the hearts of the people in Xinye, Jingzhou.
Sun Ce was seriously considering who else could possibly divide the world into three kingdoms.
Qiao Jingjing laughed and pounced into Sun Ce's arms, covering his mouth with her kiss.
Sun Ce was flustered by Qiao Jingjing's sweetness.
A shameful incident.
Afterwards, Sun Ce did not forget to ask again: If he had not taken advantage of Cao Cao's inability to look east to welcome Emperor Xian of Han to Xuchang after the division of the world into three kingdoms and the taking of Jingzhou, would he have gone to attack Jingzhou again?
Should we attack Jingzhou first, or quell the internal strife among the Yue bandits in the six counties of Jiangdong?
Should we pacify the internal situation before repelling external threats, or should we pacify the internal situation before repelling external threats?
However, with the chaos in the world still raging, the hearts of people within the country are bound to be in turmoil and swayed.
In any case, it's all chaos.
How about... we pull off something big?
Qiao Jingjing simply pretended to be asleep.
The next day, Qiao Jingjing woke up early and stared at the bed curtains that still carried a certain blush-inducing scent.
She probably didn't say anything wrong last night.
She didn't want to disrupt the natural order.
But she couldn't just stand by and watch her husband go to his death.
yes.
Qiao Jingjing has now firmly admitted that she is Da Qiao, and she is Sun Ce's wife.
Sun Ce is her husband.
From the moment he fell in love with her, she also fell in love with him without even realizing it.
She admired his bravery and magnanimity; she understood the hardships and difficulties he had faced; and she loved even more his tolerance and understanding towards her as a man.
Yes.
Qiao Jingjing was surrounded by people, starting with her own elderly mother. Her mother made things difficult for her countless times, trampled on her, and belittled her. She only thought of her as a married daughter, not as important as her son, yet she wanted to benefit from her and make Qiao Jingjing work for the Qiao family.
Her mother-in-law, Madam Wu, only wanted her to restrain herself and stop monopolizing the man day and night. Her mother-in-law wanted a gentle, sensible, and obedient daughter-in-law.
What her sisters-in-law wanted was not the unity and camaraderie among women, but rather the benefits they could gain from their relationship with Qiao Jingjing, and for Qiao Jingjing to seek advantages for them.
Since Qiao Jingjing came into this world, there are two people she cares about the most.
One of them was her husband, Sun Ce. Although their relationship was short, their love blossomed unexpectedly and deepened over time.
The other one is her sister.
Her younger sister was small, timid, and shy, but she was more courageous and brave than her brothers when it came to loving her, her older sister.
Her brothers were considered incompetent by others.
She also firmly believed that others' judgment was correct, but apart from betraying her at crucial moments, her younger brothers were mostly lazy and unwilling to work, leaving her, as the eldest sister, to shoulder the burden of the family. They weren't really that bad.
No matter how biased her mother was, she still valued her two younger brothers.
As for her elderly father, Qiao Jingjing's feelings towards him were more complicated.
She was a child who had been fleeing from war. Her father was not a soldier and had no military achievements; he was just a cultured man who had fallen on hard times, but he did his best to protect her.
After settling down in Lujiang City, my father also used his knowledge and culture to gain a foothold in the city.
Her father was a very open-minded father who never favored boys over girls. On the contrary, he always valued her and relied on her.
Later, my mother returned.
well.
Qiao Jingjing thought of her large family, her maternal family and her husband's family.
This is what large families are like: full of conflicts and complex relationships.
It's very complicated.
She had already spoken with Sun Ce, and her parents from the Qiao family would move out of the Marquis's mansion and into their small house before the Lunar New Year.
Qiao Jingjing paid for most of the money to buy this house.
They were all given to her by Sun Ce.
Qiao Er and Qiao San each contributed ten taels of silver, while the old man took twenty taels.
Qiao's mother was never happy about moving out of Sun Ce's residence.
Although the house that Qiao Jingjing bought for her was as commensurate with the status of the Qiao family as possible, and was also exquisite and had a slightly luxurious feel.
That way, people won't gossip or spread rumors.
They also noticed that Mrs. Joe's need for face.
Mrs. Joe angrily brought it out.
Qiao Jingjing and Qiao Manman both came to this family home to help tidy up their belongings.
Since that year, He Miaomiao was punished by being locked in a dark room by Qiao's mother for three to five years, after Liu Ajiao exposed her scheme against Qiao Manman in Lujiang City. She was told that her behavior would be observed.
Things changed over time, and the Qiao family moved to Wu County.
Qiao Er always kept in mind his wife who had made a mistake.
This time, Sun Ce assigned Qiao Er and Qiao San to low-ranking official positions.
But it was still a military rank, not a high-ranking official like a general, lieutenant general, or commander-in-chief, but at least a centurion.
Qiao's mother was calling out to Qiao Jingjing.
