The pioneer of Jiangdong Foundation was not Sun Jian or Sun Quan, but Sun Ce. Sun Jian's only contribution to Jiangdong's inheritance is to leave a group of old comrades' close friends to Sun Ce. The close friends of these old comrades-in-arms have become the backbone of Sun Ce and even Sun Quan's farmland. They are not only brave, but also loyal. These people include Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Zhu Zhi, but Sun Jian never worked hard in Jiangdong all his life. His life's struggle footprint went from the Central Plains to Xiliang, then to Jingzhou, and finally he died in Jingzhou. Maybe it's genetic. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, Sun Jian dared to catch a group of robbers with a broadsword alone, while/kloc-at the age of 0/7, Sun Ce's father Sun Jian was shot and killed by Liu Biao's general Huang Zu. 17 years old, still a minor child, but Sun Ce has taken on the heavy responsibility of life. After two years of filial piety for his father and grandson, he began his revenge plan.

Sun Jian was killed by an arrow, and it took Sun Ce more than a year to impress Yuan Shu, forcing Yuan Shu to return more than 1,000 people from Sun Jian's former headquarters to Sun Ce. These more than 1,000 people are the capital for Sun Ce to lay the foundation of Jiangdong in six counties. You know, Sun Ce is only 20 years old this year, still in nominal age. In the words of the ancients, 20 years old is the year of weak crown, that is, young people who have just reached adulthood have spent five or six years laying the foundation of Jiangdong. For example, compare Liu Bei with Sun Ce. Liu Bei started his business with the Yellow Scarf Army in A.D. 184, and it was not until A.D. 209 that he laid the four counties in Jingnan. For the first time in his life, he really owned his own territory. It took Liu Bei 25 years and Sun Ce only 6 years. If we compare Yuan Shao with Sun Ce, it took Yuan Shao 190 years to enter Jizhou from 190 to win four states of Hebei 200 years ago. Although Yuan Shao's family background, reputation and prestige are far stronger than those of Sun Ce, the speed of starting a business is obviously not as good as that of Sun Ce.

Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, a 20-year-old boy, crossed the Yangtze River to Jiangdong with only 1000 old people left by his father, and then fought all the way, defeating Liu You, arresting Wang Lang, taking Taishi Ci, defeating Huang Zu, surrendering Hua Xin, rejecting Liu Pan and forcibly laying the territory of six counties in Jiangdong. Sun Ce's greatness lies in that he personally led the army to lay down six counties in Jiangdong by force. Although Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others personally led the troops to fight, they were still a little worse than Sun Ce, because Sun Ce would rush to the front when fighting, while Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others only fought in the back, which was different. In addition, in all the battles to pacify Jiangdong, Sun Ce never lost, most of them were victories, and occasionally a few games were tied, which was also the result of Sun Ce's unbeaten record. That's why Cao Cao said such a sentence when evaluating Sun Ce: It's hard to argue with others. The meaning of this sentence is straightforward: little mad dog, it is difficult to compete with him. To know that Cao Cao occupied four states in the Central Plains at that time, and his strength was not much different from that of Yuan Shao, but he gave Sun Ce such a high evaluation. Can only say that Cao Cao is afraid of Sun Ce and doesn't want to be an enemy of Sun Ce for the time being.

Because Sun Ce was particularly brave in fighting, Cao Cao always went out alone, always leaving a guard, which caused Xu Gong's three musketeers to assassinate Sun Ce. The reason is that Sun Ce doesn't like to bring guards. This habit was known by the enemy, so he arranged the assassination. Another reason is that Sun Ce likes killing people. As long as he is not satisfied, he always likes to kill them, such as Wu Jun's satrap. At that time, Sun Ce was in Jiangdong, and his power, prestige and strength were already in full swing. In consolidating the territory of six counties in Jiangdong, Sun Ce continued to develop outward, such as attacking Huang Zu under Liu Biao in Jingzhou in the west and Xuzhou in the north, which was Cao Cao's territory. Sun Ce twice sent Sun Quan to attack Guangling County guarded by Chen Deng. If Sun Ce had not been assassinated, then the next step must be to attack Xudu and recapture Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty.

Sun Ce Although Guo Jia predicted that Sun Ce would be killed by an assassin in history, so that Cao Cao gave up his defense against Sun Ce, if Sun Ce was still alive, Cao Cao would undoubtedly spare some energy to deal with Sun Ce, because the purpose of Sun Ce at that time was clear, that is, to rob many cities in the Han Dynasty to worship the emperor, so as to hold the emperor as a vassal. If Sun Ce really attacked Xudu, could Cao Cao resist Sun Ce? From a rational analysis, Cao can't beat two fronts. Yuan Shao in the north has been in Enemy at the Gates, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are facing each other on the border thousands of kilometers from west to east along the Yellow River. If Cao Cao divides his troops to defend Xudu again, it will be thankless at both ends. Originally, Cao Cao fought very hard in Guandu front, but now it seems even more difficult. If we want to defend the north, Sun Ce may rush into Xudu. If he chooses to stop Sun Ce, then Cao can't win in Guandu front. Once defeated in Guandu, it will shake the foundation of the country. If Cao Cao fought on two fronts, he would certainly sacrifice one. The most likely reason is the rapid collapse of Cao Cao.

Sun Ce, however, even if Sun Ce captured Xudu, it would need an ideal city and an ideal city to capture it. In fact, Sun Ce once sent troops to attack Guangling, which is now Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. Sun Ce sent ten times as many troops as the Guangling defenders, but was defeated by the Guangling defenders headed by Chen Deng. Besides, Guangling is 630 kilometers away from Xudu, and Sun Ce's sphere of influence is in Jiangdong. If Sun Ce travels long distances to attack Xudu, it will definitely be an adventure, because war is not just. Although Sun Ce was killed by Xu Gong's minions, it was also related to Chen Deng, because Sun Ce was assassinated in Dantu, Sun Ce came to Dantu to attack Guangling County, and Chen Deng was the magistrate of Guangling County, but Sun Ce was assassinated before he officially attacked Chen Deng. Chen Deng was killed by Sun Ce because of his cousin Chen Jun, so he also intends to unite with other forces to deal with Sun Ce. Chen Deng is quite resourceful.

Sun Ce was assassinated, even if Sun Ce defeated Chen Deng, he might not be able to go to Xuchang. After all, there are still 630 kilometers to go, which is a long process. And Sun Ce has been far away from his sphere of influence, and the six counties in Jiangdong he conquered are unstable. If Sun Ce goes on an expedition, the six counties in Jiangdong may still belong to Sun Ce, so it is not advisable for Sun Ce to attack Xu. It can only pose a certain threat to Cao Cao, but it cannot shake Cao's sphere of influence. Although Sun Ce fought some fierce battles and was invincible in six counties in Jiangdong, we should also see the shortcomings of Sun Ce. A commander-in-chief can be easily assassinated by the enemy, which is a defect in itself. Sun Ce's death does not actually affect the Three Kingdoms, that is to say, whether Sun Ce will die or not. The formation of the Three Kingdoms is a long-term and special reason. The most important thing is that Battle of Red Cliffs defeated Cao Cao, making Cao Cao unable to unify the world, which has nothing to do with Sun Ce.
