To be honest, Ma Chao had never thought of this person in his mind.
But if you think about it carefully, at the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it seemed that Sun Jian was the most eye-catching, and even Cao Cao was not.
After all, there is still the shadow of the noble clan behind Cao Cao, but the warrior Sun Jian pioneered the clanization of warriors.
His descendant Sun Ce continued this policy, recruiting celebrities and integrating into them.
By the time of Sun Quan's generation, it was completely a scholar class.
As for the late-blooming Uncle Liu Huang, he was just a joke on the stage of the late Han Dynasty.
An official position such as a small captain above a big-headed soldier was not famous at all.
Liu Huangshu's success came from the fact that he gained the support of the Mi family in Xuzhou, the honor of Emperor Xian in Xuchang, and the success of Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou.
The success of Liu Huangshu also further confirmed the need for the nationalization of warriors: getting the support of the famous Mi family showed that Liu Bei had entered the eyes of those nobles.
Gaining the honor of being an imperial uncle meant that Liu Bei had been recognized by the nobles.
Obtaining Zhuge Liang means that Liu Bei began to closely integrate with the scholars, creating a situation where warriors and scholars jointly create the world.
The same is true for Sun Jian.
However, compared to Uncle Liu Huang, it was more difficult for Sun Jian.
It was with his bravery and loyalty that he gained the respect of the nobles and left precious reputation and wealth to his sons.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion that broke out in 184 changed Sun Jian's life, and he got a chance in life for the first time.
The person who supported him was his fellow countryman Zhu Jun, the second general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Zhu Jun was appointed Zhonglang General at that time and led the army to attack the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army.
Zhu Jun was from Kuaiji, Yangzhou, and Sun Jian was from Wujun, Yangzhou.
The two counties were close neighbors, and they could be called fellow townsmen.
Zhu Jun must have heard of Sun Jian's reputation for bravery, and took this opportunity to promote him to serve as an assistant to Sima Suijun for his meritorious service in defeating the enemy.
Sun Jian did not disappoint Zhu Jun's expectations.
He fought very bravely.
In the third battle of Wancheng, he risked his own life and took the lead in scaling the city wall and capturing the city.
He was appointed Sima of the other divisions for his merit.
Sun Jian's life was destined to be bound up with war.
His promotion again was due to the rebellion in Liangzhou.
In 186, Han Sui and other rebels reached Guanzhong.
The Eastern Han Dynasty court hurriedly ordered Zhang Wen to lead Dong Zhuo and other troops to attack with a total of 100,000 troops.
Zhang Wen recommended Sun Jian to the court to join the army.
This time Zhang Wen fought against the Liangzhou rebels and won a great victory at Meiyang.
Later, he failed to follow Dong Zhuo's strategy and underestimated the enemy's aggressive advance, resulting in a major defeat.
Dong Zhuo was dissatisfied and disobedient to Zhang Wen.
Sun Jian once advised Zhang Wen to kill Dong Zhuo with military law, but Zhang Wen refused.
However, Dong Zhuo was dug out because of the treacherous things he did in his later period, and Sun Jian became famous from this.
Later, due to internal divisions and internecine fighting among the Liangzhou rebels, that is, Han Sui's attempt to seize the position of leader of the Tieqiang Alliance, and Ma Teng secretly planning to separate, Xiliang was temporarily unable to invade, and the war on the western border subsided.
Because of his meritorious service in following Zhang Wen and driving away thieves, Sun Jian was conscripted as Yilang at the age of 31.
Yilang is just an official position that can be used to advise and discuss in the court.
It has no real power, but it is the beginning of entering the court as an official.
In fact, in the society of the late Han Dynasty, if they were scholars and celebrities with family backgrounds, they could easily be promoted to be filial, honest, and talented in the local area.
As soon as they became official, they could serve as officials such as Yilang, and then be decentralized to the local areas.
A county governor, governor and other frontier officials.
But for Sun Jian, there is no such smooth path, and he can only rely on his own hard work to move up step by step.
His next promotion was related to war.
A refugee rebellion broke out in Changsha, and the prefectures and counties could not control it.
So Sun Jian was released as the governor of Changsha and went to quell the rebellion.

This was considered to have the foundation of his own career.
In 190, the heroes from Guandong raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo.
Sun Jian, who was far away in Changsha, also raised an army to respond.
He led his soldiers from Changsha to fight and kill all the way north.
He first killed Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and then Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang.
Later, he defected to Yuan Shu in Luyang.
With the support of Yuan Shu, he captured Yuzhou, which was controlled by the scholar forces.
He then gathered Yuzhou soldiers and horses to attack Dong Zhuo.
After many large and small battles, he finally broke through Luoyang and drove Dong Zhuo back to Guanzhong.
When he conquered Luoyang, Sun Jian also obtained the imperial seal.
When Sun Jian was preparing to pursue the victory, news came from the rear that Yuan Shao sent a man named Zhou Zhe to seize his Yuzhou.
Sun Jian was furious and returned to his army to defeat Zhou Zhe together with Yuan Shu.
Jia Xu mentioned Sun Jian because Sun Jian had already conquered Luoyang and gained world fame.
At this time, he was having a heated fight with Zhou Zhe.
It was only a few days ago that Sun Jian captured Luoyang.
In this battle, Sun Jian was much higher than Ma Chao, which made Ma Chao feel a little overwhelmed.
Later, in 192, Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to attack Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but Liu Biao's troops shot Huang Zu's soldiers to death.
The main experience of the martial artist Sun Jian's life ends here.
Among them, there seems to be no connection with the nobles, but if you analyze it carefully, you can see it.
Everything Sun Jian did was directed towards one goal: to gain fame and dominate the world.
Sun Jian was a brave and skilled warrior, but he was different from Huangfu Song, the first general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Zhu Jun, the second general.
These two people were deeply poisoned by the idea of loyalty to the emperor, and they did not dare to get involved in the great power.
In the end, they had to be picked by Dong Zhuo.
However, Sun Jian did not have the imperial court in his eyes.
When he killed Wang Rui, the Jingzhou governor, Wang Rui was the Jingzhou governor appointed by the imperial court and was his immediate superior; and when the heroes of the Kwantung raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo, Wang Rui also raised troops to respond; Sun Jian was indifferent to the situation.
Even killing Wang Rui is unjustifiable.
However, Sun Jian would not be bound by court etiquette.
Anyone who stood in his way to dominate the world was his enemy and should be killed by him.
It is said that the killing of Wang Rui and Zhang Zi was a stain on Sun Jian's character as a scholar, but because he was very smart, he performed outstandingly in the subsequent battle against Dong, which suddenly made the scholars think that Sun Jian was a true gentleman who did not stick to trivial matters for righteousness.
Only then did he gain prestige and enter the eyes of the nobles.
The difference between Sun Jian and ordinary warriors is that he understands the importance of reputation and prestige, and does not blindly pursue military affairs.
In a society like the Eastern Han Dynasty that flaunted prestige, people without prestige could hardly move forward.
Those warriors who lacked reputation were all quickly annihilated because they did not have strong support from the scholars.
For Ma Chao, the only people he could name were Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan and others.
In the eyes of these people, they only believed in force.
Although they had also tried to win over the scholar Qingliu, they were nothing more than It's just pretentious.
The result was just like a flash of fireworks.
No matter how great the impact and turmoil it caused, it quickly disappeared from the stage of history.
Sun Jian is different from them.
After he killed Wang Rui, he did not seize Jingzhou but went north, in order to establish his reputation and prestige in the fight against Dong Zhuo.
Later, he killed Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang, and took possession of Nanyang.
However, he knew that although he had a strong armed force, it was difficult to gain the support of the scholars due to his insufficient reputation, so he went to Yuan Shu and gave the entire Nanyang County to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu once began to win over Sun Jian as soon as he arrived in Nanyang, making him the acting Zhonglang General.
In the combination of the two people, Yuan Shu got Sun Jian's military support, and Sun Jian got the protection of Yuan Shu's reputation, so each got his own place.
Then Yuan Shu appointed him as the governor of Yuzhou, so he could legitimately occupy Yuzhou and obtain a base area.

From this, Sun Jian initially entered the eyes of those noble clans.
After that, he fought against Dong Zhuo regardless of his own safety, and finally gained the fame and popularity he wanted.
Sun Jian first fought a battle with Dong Zhuo's army in Liangdong, and was defeated by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong.
He was defeated miserably, but Sun Jian managed to escape.
He was not discouraged, gathered his troops, marched again, defeated Hu Zhen and Lu Bu in Yangren, and killed Hua Xiong.
Dong Zhuo was afraid of Sun Jian's bravery and sent people to woo him to marry him, but he sternly refused.
Sun Jian marched into Dagu, a pass south of Luoyang, and defeated the army led by Dong Zhuo himself.
Then he marched into Luoyang, defeated Lu Bu who stayed in Luoyang, and regained Luoyang.
The restoration of Luoyang brought Sun Jian's reputation to its peak.
After he entered Luoyang, he emptied the emperor's tomb dug by Dong Zhuo and went to the ancestral temple of the Han Dynasty emperor to offer sacrifices, which also showed his consideration for gaining fame.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Sun Jian's reputation coupled with the powerful force in his hands, and more importantly, he already had Yuzhou as a base at that time.
If history had not dealt with Sun Jian, then Sun Jian could have accomplished something.
It is a pity that he died unexpectedly while fighting Liu Biao, which made all his ambitions come to nothing.
But he left his son Sun Ce a valuable asset.
First, the reputation he worked so hard to build made Sun Ce more easily accepted by scholars; second, he left Sun Ce with a group of generals who were good at conquering and fighting. and a tribe with extremely strong combat effectiveness, these became the foundation for Sun Ce's future career success.
From then on, Sun Ce continued along his father's path, gradually turning from a warrior into a scholar, and finally created a new way out of the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.
At the same time, another warrior, Liu Bei, was also making arduous explorations.
On the basis of relying on force for survival, he accepted the political philosophy of the scholars and received widespread support from the scholars.
In the end, he became a late bloomer.
It can be said that success is inevitable sometimes.
If the general direction is right, even if the road is rough, you can always see the light.
But if the general direction is wrong, no matter how brilliant it is, it will only be short-lived.
Ma Chao doesn't want to be Dong Zhuo, nor does he want to be Lu Bu, or Gongsun Zan.
What he wants to be is a tyrant who is in a separate state but looks down on the world.
Therefore, he does not allow himself to make any mistakes on this road.
However, what he is wondering now is: a small allocation of wasteland has attracted analysis of the forces of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and even the psychological transformation of the warrior Sun Jian.
This association is too awesome:
