In 195, a young and ambitious teenager began his entrepreneurial path in Koto. The prestige of Sun Ce's name has long spread all over the country. When he set out, he had only a few men under his command, only more than 1,000 infantry, and dozens of war horses. These meager forces pale in comparison to his ambitions.
However, Sun Ce was not afraid of the unresolved balance of power. He faced many challenges: Liu Miao had tens of thousands of soldiers in Qu'a, and local guards such as Xu Gong, Wang Lang, and Zhu Hao also had strong troops. The Koto clan was skeptical and even hostile to his origins and actions. His identity is not correct, and he is regarded as a rebel of the imperial court, and he has attracted the hostility of the imperial court ** and the Jiangdong clan.
Sun Ce was well aware of his situation, however, he was not hindered by the predicament. On the contrary, he set out a series of plans with a long-term vision. He first tried to seize Wu, Hui and other places by recovering the old soldiers and recruiting troops and horses, and became a foreign vassal of the imperial court. However, the reality is often harsh, and plans are quickly faced with uncertainties.
Yuan Shu's promise and treachery cost Sun Ce dearly. However, instead of falling into frustration, Sun Ce decisively adjusted his plan, cooperated with Yuan Shu, and captured a county west of the Yangtze River. This move changed the whole situation, and Sun Ce began to make a name for himself in Jiangdong.
Sun Ce's flexible tactics allowed him to quickly break through Liu Xuan's defenses and successfully cross the Yangtze River into Danyang County. He did not stop, but quickly used Danyang's resources to prepare for his further actions. He skillfully used Zhou Yu's funding and strategy of sneaking up on warehouses to solve the problem of material shortages, and quickly diverted the direction of the army to take Qu'a directly.
Sun Ce's victory in the Battle of Qu'a completely changed the situation in Jiangdong. He won the hearts of the people with strict military discipline and resolved the contradictions between the hostile armed forces with a lenient policy. Through these political means, he gradually consolidated his dominance in Koto.
However, Sun Ce was not satisfied with this. He continued to seek opportunities for expansion, and successively captured Lujiang, Yuzhang and other places. He was good at using the strength of others to break with Yuan Shu, obtain an appointment from the imperial court, and establish his legitimacy. He also successfully alleviated the contradictions with the strong sect and the resistance forces through the technique of attacking the heart, and further consolidated his position in Jiangdong.
In four years, Sun Ce developed from a teenager with meager troops to the overlord of Jiangdong step by step. His founding speed far surpassed that of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and he showed extraordinary political wisdom and military talent. However, just when his future was bright, fate played a cruel joke on him, he was assassinated in the prime of life, and died young, which is regrettable.
