We must prepare to take up arms again and mobilize manpower.
There are living examples of people who started their rebellion in Fuchun County, succeeded, expanded their power, and gradually rose to the pinnacle of life. Sun Jian, the father of Sun Ce and Sun Quan, served as an example.
Sun Hao believed that Sun Quan had already led his troops to fight the rebels in Jiangxia and was entangled with Liu Biao, leaving Kuaiji and Wu Commandery vulnerable.
He learned his lesson the hard way once before, and he won't let himself suffer the same fate this time.
He will win back all the losses he suffered before.
But he still needs his father's approval.
His father, Sun Jing, was the oldest and most eloquent member of the Sun family clan.
As long as his father says that Sun Quan is too young to support Jiangdong, he should abdicate.
That makes things much easier!
He seized the opportunity to raise an army and attack Wu Commandery and Kuaiji to establish himself as emperor.
Then Sun Quan should just go somewhere cool and stay there.
Could it be that Cao Cao is going to come and fight on Sun Quan's behalf? Impossible.
Sun Hao jumped around and made a scene, forcing his father to speak for him and write documents for him.
Sun Jing, who had feigned indifference his entire life, couldn't resist this temptation in his old age. Did he also believe that with Sun Ce dead and Sun Quan still young, their branch of the family had a chance to become the head of the family?
They have been the third child in their family for many, many years.
And he, the third son, is far inferior to Sun Yi, the youngest son!
Although Sun Yi had people like Zhang Zhao recommending him as his successor when his elder brother died, he didn't become the heir in the end. Sun Yi had no resentment at all and happily assisted his second brother Sun Quan, following his lead without question.
Before setting off, the second brother instructed Sun Yi to garrison troops and defend Wucheng County, and not to drink alcohol or go hunting.
Sun Yi did as instructed.
Sun Quan and his troops probably haven't even reached Jiangxia yet.
Within the Sun family clan, the third uncle, Sun Jing, and his son, Sun Hao, openly rebelled.
Sun Hao suddenly raised an army in Fuchun County, and five thousand men rushed to attack Wu County overnight with lightning speed.
Sun Hao boasted that he would take Wu County and Kuaiji, two major cities, within three days.
At that time, Wu Jing, the younger brother of Lady Wu and the Prefect of Danyang, as well as Xu Kun, Sun Quan's cousin, and Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, and others, all went with Sun Quan to fight against Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
Zhou Yu was training his navy in Moling, ready to support Jiangxia at any time.
Wu County may seem empty, but it is guarded by a group of scholars such as Zhu Zi, Zhang Zhao, and Lu Xun.
Sun Hao rode on a large horse.
Facing the tightly closed city gates of Wu County.
Above the gates of Wu County, everyone said that the two brothers, Qiao Er and Qiao San, were like sluts who had become minor centurions through nepotism.
Tell them to surrender immediately!
"You city guards, open the city gates now, or I'll spare your lives!"
That infuriated Qiao Er and Qiao San.
The two brothers immediately retorted with insults.
"You traitorous scoundrel...you disgrace to the Sun family, you expect us brothers to surrender to you! Bah! Kneel down and kowtow right now, and my elder sister will spare your life!"
“If you are even a moment late, you can expect my elder sister to send someone to make you scrape...your skin.”
Qiao Er and Qiao San were so excited that they even stuttered a little.
Sun Hao looked down on him.
The eldest sister of the Qiao family is so beautiful. Although these two brothers are not bad-looking either, they are not cut out for armor.
"Zhu Zhi only sent the two of you to guard the city? Is there not a single capable fighter in this city? Fine, you just won't surrender, huh? Then don't blame your Grandpa Sun!"
Sun Hao's father was the third son in the previous generation, but Sun Gao was the eldest among his father's children, and he called himself Grandpa Sun.
This old man, Mr. Sun, planned to launch a full-scale attack.
Qiao Er and Qiao San were instantly fired up.
To be honest, they had never felt this excited when they went up the city wall with Old Man Qiao to defend Lujiang City that year.
I can't really explain why.
The two brothers felt that these bastards were going too far in bullying them.
It's because their brother-in-law died!
Good heavens, his brother-in-law's body is barely cold.
Their older sister had just become a widow.
The key point is that the heir left behind by this family, General Sun Quan, had just led his troops out to fight a war, and these bastards came to take advantage of the situation.
This is intolerable!
Qiao Er and Qiao San gritted their teeth and swore an oath to the heavens.
They clashed with Sun Hao and vowed to defend the walls of Wu County to the death.
"As long as we live, the city will remain!"
"If that scoundrel from the Sun family wants to enter the city, he'll have to step over the heads of us two brothers first!"
This intense situation was reported up the chain of command, layer by layer.
Zhang Zhao and Zhu Zhi had anticipated this scenario; the city was prepared, so they weren't in a hurry.
Qiao Jingjing was extremely anxious.
She knew all about her two younger brothers' abilities.
Neither of them is cut out for war.
Now they are facing that ruthless and cunning Sun Hao again.
Moreover, Sun Hao's advance was aggressive, aiming to breach the city.
Qiao Jingjing had already ordered Lü Meng to lead two thousand men to reinforce the city walls immediately. She then summoned her sister-in-law, Sun Shangxiang, and left all forty of her maids in her courtyard to Sun Shangxiang.
"Ah Xiang, the situation outside is urgent. You take the men to protect Mother, Ah Shao, my sister, and Big Bear and Little Bear. Also, keep an eye on your second brother's family!"
I will have Ling Tong lead two thousand men to guard our gates.
After Qiao Jingjing finished making the arrangements, Sun Shangxiang could only frown as she looked at her sister-in-law.
"And you, sister-in-law? You've given all the people to us, what are you going to do now?"
“My two younger brothers are on the city wall, and I’m a little worried about them, so I’m going to go check on them.”
