What happens after you receive it?
Jiangdong inevitably became the target of everyone's criticism.
East of Jiangdong lies the sea, and to the west lies Jingzhou, Liu Biao, a sworn enemy. To the north lies the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, where Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and other warlords are eyeing the land with predatory intent.
The most crucial point is that the terrain east of the river is low-lying.
In short, it's not very durable.
If others are waving the banner of justice.
If we absolutely need to make ourselves more resilient, then we must expand our territory and increase our strength. To expand our strength, we must not let go of Jingzhou.
Sun Ce looked at the map again and again.
Qiao Jingjing also thought it would be better to attack Jingzhou first.
Under Zhu Zhi's governance, Wu Commandery was peaceful and the people lived in peace and contentment. Moreover, the reactionary force of Sun Kuang had been eliminated, and the treacherous and cunning Sun Hao and others remained dormant, not daring to make a move.
Then there's the branch of the family of my eldest uncle, Sun Qiang. My cousins Sun Ben and Sun Fu are both fierce generals. One is the governor of Yuzhang, and the other is the governor of Luling. They have vast tracts of land under their control and strong troops. We should take advantage of this time before everyone becomes lazy and still has the ambition, while these two cousins are still young and capable of fighting.
Hey, they're all over 50 years old now.
This also includes Sun Ce's maternal uncle, Comrade Wu Jing, and his cousin, Comrade Xu Kun.
Sun Ce said that he wanted to play one more game while he was still young.
To lay a foundation for the Sun family, for Ashao, and for his and Qiao Jingjing's future children.
Whether it's Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, one of them will always emerge victorious from the north.
Just as Qiao Jingjing analyzed for Sun Ce, the north was not as rich and fertile as the south, but its terrain was high, making it a natural political and military center.
Sun Ce won his territory and learned how to survive in a chaotic world.
To snatch chestnuts from the fire.
Take advantage of the chaos.
Let's try our luck again.
Could we simply hold our ground in Jiangdong, without engaging with the north or Jingzhou?
Both Qiao Jingjing and Sun Ce felt this was unacceptable.
If we want to protect Jiangdong, we must win over Jingzhou.
This time, Sun Ce did not take Sun Quan with him on the expedition.
For many years, whenever Sun Ce went out to fight, he always took Sun Quan with him. This younger brother had given him many ingenious strategies and brilliant ideas.
This time, Sun Ce said:
"I will lead the troops from Jiangdong along the waterways to attack Jingzhou. My goal, of course, is to take over the entire Jingzhou, drive out Liu Biao, capture Huang Zu alive, and avenge my father's death."
I can't take you!
You will remain to guard Wu Commandery and Kuaiji.
At that time, Sun Quan was much younger than his cousins Sun Ben and Sun Fu.
"With you and Zibu here, and Zhu Zhi staying in Wu County, it doesn't matter if I suffer a defeat. We can retreat to attack or advance to defend. If I succeed, everyone will be happy."
Your elder sister-in-law is dedicated to agriculture and developing production, which has greatly benefited the people of Jiangdong. You are all clever people who know how to use strategies and methods. I feel very reassured with you in Wu County.”
Qiao Jingjing trusted herself completely.
He just didn't trust Sun Ce.
