If Sun Ce does not die, there will be no Three Kingdoms. This sentence is not an exaggeration at all. Many people think that Sun Ce is just a reckless man, so he will be assassinated by Xu Gongmeng. People usually think that Sun Ce is brave in battle, but lacks strategy. Compared with his younger brother Sun Quan, Sun Ce seems to be inferior in strategy. In fact, this is completely a misunderstanding brought to everyone by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The true history of Sun Ce is courageous, and Sun Quan is completely inferior to him. If Sun Ce does not die, there will be no Three Kingdoms. In the end, it is very likely. It's the two largest families, sharing the world equally!
Putting aside Sun Ce's super personal force in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, let's take a look at Sun Ce's three biggest advantages first! These three advantages will never be seen by everyone in Soochow again!
1. Strong military capability
Sun Ce's military capability is very strong, which is completely different from Sun Quan. It is strange to say that Sun Jian and Sun Ce have such strong military capabilities, how come they have become "Sun Shiwan" when they reach Sun Quan?
After Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce took refuge in Yuan Shu's hand and made great contributions to Yuan Shu many times. As a result, Yuan Shu was nepotism and let Sun Ce work without benefiting Sun Ce. In the end, he angered Sun Ce and made Sun Ce determined to leave Yuan Shu. Sun Ce asked to sweep Jiangdong for Yuan Shu, recruit soldiers and horses, and then compete for the world for Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is not stupid, knowing that Sun Ce is out of mind, but he thinks that Sun Ce alone cannot handle Jiangdong at all. This was not because Yuan Shu had no foresight. It was true that Sun Ce was relatively desolate at the time. When he left Yuan Shu, there were only more than a thousand soldiers and horses by his side. In that troubled world, this person was not enough for other princes to put their teeth between their teeth.
However, Yuan Shu did not expect that Sun Ce had such a strong military capability. He started his career with these thousand people, went through all the way, and quickly laid his own territory in Jiangdong. Because of Sun Ce's open-minded personality, good at accepting suggestions from others, and good at employing people, Sun Ce's reputation grew. More and more people came to seek refuge, and Sun Ce's strength grew rapidly. After that, Sun Ce defeated Liu Yao and captured Wu Jun and Kuaiji, completely gaining a foothold. After Yuan Shu died, his generals surrendered to Lujiang Prefect Liu Xun, and Sun Ce attacked Lujiang, defeated Liu Xun, and defeated Huang Zu, and seized a lot of property and warships. Since then, Sun Ce has swept Jiangdong all the way with his super military command ability, defeated all the warlords in it, and completely unified Jiangdong and became a vassal.
At that time, Cao Cao saw that Sun Ce had succeeded, so he had to sigh: It's hard for a baby to compete! In order to marry Sun Ce, Cao Cao even took the initiative to marry him, betrotting his younger brother's daughter to Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Kuang, and married his son Cao Zhang to Sun Ben's daughter. Even Cao Cao values Sun Ce so much, which shows how strong Sun Ce's military capabilities are and how brilliant his performance is!
2. Have a political vision
A lord, to be able to achieve great cause, in addition to super military capabilities, must also have an excellent political vision. At this point, Sun Ce's performance is also very good. After he separated from Yuan Shao and became independent of Jiangdong, he was actually still Yuan Shu's subordinate in name. When he learned that Yuan Shu had the intention to claim the emperor, Sun Ce took the initiative to persuade Yuan Shu not to be so anxious, he would become the target of the public. This is also regarded as Sun Ce repaying his favor, but Yuan Shu refused to listen and insisted on claiming the emperor. After that, Sun Ce quickly drew a line with Yuan Shu and was removed from Yuan Shu's forces. When the princes attacked Yuan Shu, Sun Ce was not implicated. From here, you can actually see how harsh Sun Ce's vision is. He knew that the time to proclaim the emperor was wrong, and he resolutely drew a line with Yuan Shu to avoid becoming a target of attack and becoming an enemy of the world.
In addition, there is one more thing, we can also see how political Sun Ce is. Taking the emperor to order the princes is an exclusive term for Cao Cao, but in fact, in addition to Cao Cao, Sun Ce also has this idea. He also knows that there are huge benefits behind this! Sun Ce had planned to attack Xu Du to welcome Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but before the plan was implemented, he was assassinated and failed to fulfill his wish. If Sun Ce really implements it successfully, the world will change drastically, and Cao Cao will most likely return directly to Yuan Shao.
3. Have a strategic vision
To tell the truth, the national power of Soochow during the Three Kingdoms period was not too weak, but its performance was so poor. An important reason is that no one has a super strategic vision from Soochow to the monarch and ministers. . The vision of the people in Soochow was too narrow, and since the deaths of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, they could no longer find anyone with a strategic vision. Even if it isThe latter Lu Su, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun were actually far behind Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in terms of strategic vision.
When Sun Ce was alive, he often thought about contending for the world, such as taking advantage of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's squabble at Guandu, expedition to the northern capital, fighting for the emperor, and commanding the princes. It can be seen that Sun Ce's series of actions are actually aimed at fighting for the world, not just defending Jiangdong. Later Zhou Yu also proposed the strategy of occupying Jingzhou, conquering Yizhou, dividing the world equally, and dividing the river to rule. However, after them, the people of Soochow have no longer such ambitions, and they are all focused on guarding the Yangtze River defense line and defending Soochow's victory. From this point of view, Sun Quan's strategic vision is much better than Sun Ce's. Otherwise, he would not make the move of Jingzhou back to the League. This is entirely just to defend Jiangdong, but not enterprising! This is actually the biggest gap between Sun Quan and Sun Ce in addition to his military capabilities!
Conclusion
Sun Ce is capable, foresighted, and strategic. He is a master who is not weaker than Cao Cao, Gao Liubei and Sun Quan. If he does not die, the Three Kingdoms will not exist at all. Originally, Sun Ce was always preparing for the Northern Expedition of Xudu and attacking Cao Cao. So at the most critical moment of the battle of Guandu, Sun Ce would definitely go up and give Cao Cao a knife. The result is likely that Cao Cao failed and had to rely on Yuan Shao. In the end, Sun Ce and Yuan Shao split equally. World. After the two sides have a good rest, they will compete with each other. It is still unknown who will die! Anyway, Liu Bei definitely had no chance to create Shuhan.
