Qiao Jingjing waved her hand.
Zhu Zhi quickly ordered his soldiers to drag Sun Hao out of the bag and behead him.
Such treacherous officials should be killed one by one.
If we don't kill it properly, there will be endless troubles later.
Sun Quan left them to guard Wu Commandery and manage the accounts; they had to guard it well and securely.
Taking advantage of Sun Quan's absence while he was leading troops, and taking advantage of his youth and the fact that Wu Commandery was undefended, some members of the Sun clan launched a rebellion.
Sun Hao was ultimately beheaded!
The body and head were separated.
To this day, he cannot be buried in the Sun family ancestral mausoleum.
Sun Hao's father, Sun Jing, always stayed at home.
This incident caused a huge reaction throughout Jiangdong.
Everyone has their own opinion.
Those who were upright, whether scholars or military generals, had always been indebted to Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan. They were determined to repay their kindness and were resolute in their minds, and they all believed that Sun Hao deserved it.
Some were members of the Sun clan or relatives of the brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan; they were not as wise and reasonable as the scholars and military generals.
Some people actually felt that this matter had been handled too harshly.
But they dared not say it outright.
They were all waiting for Sun Quan to return before they came and stirred up a storm.
Especially Sun Quan's cousin, Sun Fu, had been associating with Cao Cao behind Sun Quan's back for a long time, but Zhang Zhao had already seized on his secret, and he himself was unaware of it.
The close advisors and strategists around Sun Fu were all giving him bad advice.
There are two reasons.
First, Sun Quan is young and in military affairs, he is definitely no match for his elder brother, Sun Ce. Following Sun Quan, the second son of Sun Ce, we should stop thinking about expanding our territory and instead confine ourselves to the six counties of Jiangdong. We should stop dreaming of achieving anything greater.
Furthermore, when Sun Quan first established his rule, everything still depended on Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, and Lady Da Qiao, the widow of Sun Ce, to take charge.
These ill-intentioned advisors then used the results of Sun Hao's rebellion to persuade Sun Fu, the governor of Luling.
"General, you treat them like brothers and blood relatives, but they have never treated you like a brother!"
Are they brothers who can directly instruct their subordinates, who are not related by blood, and a widow in charge? They even beheaded a general with a distinguished military record.
They're my dear brothers!
"Shouldn't we wait for Sun Quan to return and make the decision himself, whether to kill or punish him? How could those few people handle it?"
The close advisors explained the situation to Sun Fu in great detail.
The point was to make Sun Fu understand that Sun Quan, besides being young, was also quite incompetent. Under the control of those treacherous officials, the Sun clan would ultimately gain nothing. They should abandon their evil ways and join forces with Cao Cao for a good heist.
Sun Fu was almost persuaded.
"Do you mean... we should take this opportunity to launch a counterattack on Wu County?"
Everyone saw the consequences of the counterattack on Wu County.
Sun Fu thought of Sun Hao.
My dear cousin, he's been killed and his head is gone!
Zhu Zhi, Zhang Zhao, and that Lady Da Qiao, they really had the guts to do such a thing!
They just killed him like that?
When Sun Ce was alive, he would have simply imprisoned him for the rest of his life in seclusion in the face of these matters.
Alas, even Sun Fu himself found it difficult to make a decision.
Who doesn't want to grow bigger and stronger?
He went out to fight with his second uncle, Sun Jian. Back when Sun Ce was fighting in the east and west, his second brother, Sun Quan, was still a young boy.
Now that he's old enough to be an uncle, he still has to follow this kid Sun Quan's lead.
To put it bluntly, it was just out of respect for his deceased second uncle, Sun Jian, and to give face to the deceased Sun Ce.
To put it bluntly, if Sun Quan were truly that incompetent and foolish, why would he still obey his orders?
Sun Fu said, "No rush, let's wait and see."
Let's continue to contact Cao Cao.
Wouldn't it be easier for him to act as an inside agent in Jiangdong when Cao Cao makes a move?
With Cao Cao's support and a solid foundation in the six counties of Jiangdong, wouldn't it be a natural progression for him to take charge of Jiangdong? Why did he have to be like Sun Hao, foolishly blinded by rage and ultimately meet a tragic end?
Sun Fu's plan was extremely risky.
This is Wu County, the Sun family.
Having just experienced Sun Hao's rebellion, everyone was still in shock.
Madam Wu was gathering all her daughters-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters before her. Sun Shangxiang was accompanied by her maids, and Ling Tong was guarding outside with two thousand men.
Everyone waited anxiously, and finally Qiao Jingjing, Zhang Zhao, and others returned safely to report.
Madam Wu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.
She hugged her eldest daughter-in-law and cried bitterly.
"Sigh, what sins did we commit in our past lives? What a misfortune for our family! His third uncle's branch of the family, sigh, why is it them again? Da Qiao, are you alright? Are you alright?"
Sun Shangxiang, her second sister-in-law Xu Jiao, and her third sister-in-law Xu Shi all came over to ask Qiao Jingjing about the situation outside.
According to Zhang Zhaoxian and Qiao Jingjing, "The rebels have been subdued, and the mastermind was executed on the spot."
The women heard that the eldest son of the third uncle's family had been killed.
I didn't know what to say for a moment.
It was both unbelievable and felt like a cruel reality.
If the eldest son of the Third Uncle's family, Sun Gao, were to win today, what would become of these frail women?
Sun Yi's wife, Xu, understood this reason best.
"What's there to sigh about? Traitors and rebels deserve to be killed by everyone. Sister-in-law, let them be killed. Chief Clerk Zhang, this matter is entirely up to you and Prefect Zhu. When Second Brother returns, you should explain to him that you are meritorious officials, and that my sister-in-law was fearless in the face of danger, commanding from the front lines. She is a heroine among women, isn't she, Mother?"
Xu said this.
Many people here have become more determined.
