It was Lord Liu Xun who possessed great talent and ambition, governing Lujiang peacefully and steadily, pacifying the people of Lujiang, and enabling the people of Lujiang to live a prosperous and comfortable life, serving as a model for all people in the world.
Next, Sun Ce said that he was willing to pay some gifts to Liu Xun every year to show his sincerity in befriending Liu Gong.
Now that Sun Ce and Liu Xun were already on the same side, he would definitely have to think about Liu Xun's well-being.
In his letter, Sun Ce said that when he attacked Lujiang City, he had actually carefully considered the city's weaknesses.
"Shangrao is a strategically important place, a necessary passage for those traveling south from the north to Lujiang. If we can firmly control it, that would be ideal."
Sun Ce's great sincerity made Liu Xun very happy.
Liu Xun took out Sun Ce's gifts and letters and had his strategists and advisors study them for three days and three nights.
The main reason is to show off.
Liu Xun's personal characteristics were grasped extremely accurately by his advisors.

"Looking across the world, Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande discussed heroes over green plums and wine!"

Liu Biao of Jingzhou was all talk and no action; Sun Ce of Jiangdong relied on his father's name; and Liu Zhang of Yizhou was nothing but a dog guarding the gate. How could such people be worthy of being called heroes!
Cao Mengde said: "The only heroes in the world today are Liu Bei and Cao Cao!"
Cao Mengde's errors and fallacies have been exposed!
A hero is one who cherishes lofty ambitions, possesses brilliant strategies, has the capacity to encompass the universe, and the will to swallow the heavens and earth.
Only Lord Liu of Lujiang City, a true hero and member of the Han imperial family, should be the pillar of the Eastern Han Dynasty. How dare these outsiders make such a fuss?
