Sun Ce died young, and the situation in Jiangdong suddenly fell into chaos. They were the first to rebel? What secrets are hidden behind Sun Quan's ascension?
The object of Sun Ce's deathbed was him? Is it Zhou Yu? Or Zhang Zhao? After Sun Ce's death, the situation in Jiangdong instantly became tense. However, surprisingly, it was not Zhou Yu or other generals who had followed Sun Ce for many years who rebelled first, but Zhang Zhao.
This can't help but make people wonder, why did Zhang Zhao rebel at this time? Before Sun Ce died, he once entrusted Zhang Zhao with an important matter. Sun Ce told Zhang Zhao that if his son Sun Quan was not up to the position of monarch, then Zhang Zhao could establish himself as king.
He even said that even if Zhang Zhao could not succeed, as long as he could act according to Sun Ce's last wishes, then he would be safe. However, Zhang Zhao did not choose to establish himself as a king, but chose to help Sun Quan.
Why? Does Zhang Zhao's choice show that his relationship with Sun Ce is not what the outside world imagines? Let's take a look at Zhang Zhao's background first.
Zhang Zhao, the word Zibu, is a native of Pengcheng, Xuzhou. He was very smart when he was young, good at calligraphy, and was friends with Zhao Yu from Langya and Wang Lang from the East China Sea. Zhao Yu and Wang Lang were both famous figures in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they once persuaded Tao Qian: If no one can control the world, then they should control it themselves.
However, Zhang Zhao was not satisfied with this simple life. He believes that only when he can control the world can he truly realize his own value. Therefore, he decided to invest in Jiangdong in the south to seek better development opportunities.
In Jiangdong, Zhang Zhao gained Sun Ce's trust. Sun Ce had great respect for Zhang Zhao, and even entrusted him with almost all the important affairs in his territory.
Sun Ce also once told Zhang Zhao that if he could help him succeed, then he would be able to become famous all over the world like Guan Zhong. However, Zhang Zhao did not become complacent because of this.
He knows that if he wants to succeed in Jiangdong, then he must have enough strength. As a result, he began to work hard to improve his abilities and hope to be able to play his part in key moments.
Later, Sun Ce died, and the situation in Jiangdong became very tense. However, Zhang Zhao did not panic because of this. He knows that success can only be achieved if he responds calmly.
Therefore, he first comforted Sun Quan and told him to handle government affairs with peace of mind and not to be overly sad. Then, Zhang Zhao personally helped Sun Quan to get on the horse and marched out. His actions quickly calmed tensions in Jiangdong and stabilized Sun Quan's position.
Therefore, Zhang Zhao did not rebel, but chose to help Sun Quan. His choice not only proves his wisdom and courage, but also proves his trust and respect for Sun Ce.
