"First thing," Diao Chan took out a piece of information and handed it to Ma Chao: "Liu Bei had defeated the southern barbarian Meng Huo and was leading his army back to Chengdu.
The Yizhou gentry suddenly mutinied and placed Liu Zhang under house arrest, forcing him to give up the throne to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei pretended to shirk and refused several times, but finally Liu Xie issued an order to make Liu Zhang the Duke of Anle, and Liu Bei the Chariot and Cavalry General, commanding Yizhou."
Ma Chao sighed, this happened as he had expected.
It's just that he didn't expect that Liu Bei's plan to conquer Sichuan and Shu would go so smoothly, and it happened during the sensitive period of his plan for Xianbei.
From this, his eyes turned around, barely looking at the information, and then he directly raised his head, waiting for the second thing Diao Chan said.
"The second thing," Diao Chan's expression became more solemn, and she still took out a piece of information and said with a melancholy expression: "According to the information intercepted by Wang Huayu, King Cao Cao of Wei recently built a palace in Xuchang and divided the ministers and wise men.
It's even more bizarre.
Unfortunately, Cao Cao colluded with Gongsun Du of Liaodong at some point, and recommended Gongsundu, who always treated the Ma family honestly, as General of the Conquest of the East and Marquis of Liaodong."
Ma Chao sighed again after hearing this.
Although the collusion between Cao Cao and Gongsun Du was a bit unexpected, it made sense when he thought about it carefully.
After all, Cao Cao relied on making money from dead people to get out of the predicament of the Ma family first, so he would naturally look to the four frontiers of the Han Dynasty and win over all the forces that could be attracted.
However, although the Gongsun family in Liaodong is powerful and has many famous generals, they have always been nepotistic.
With their ambition, they will never be able to embrace the world.
The only worry is that Ma Chao can't guess how arrogant the Gongsun family can be, and whether they will provoke the Ma family like moths to a flame after taking Cao Wei's reassurance.
"Cicada, neither of these two things is a good thing.
The third thing must be a good thing."
Although he said this, Ma Chao knew in his heart that if there was really a happy event.
Diao Chan would not leave it until the end.
Based on his understanding of Diao Chan, this third matter was probably the trickiest and most difficult to deal with.
Sure enough, after hearing Ma Chao's words, Diao Chan's expression became even weirder.
After handing the last piece of information to Ma Chao, she slowly said: "There is chaos in Jiangdong."
"It's chaos."
Ma Chao was stunned.
This thing should be a good thing.
But judging from Diao Chan's reaction, things don't seem to be that simple.
Later, after reading the few words in the letter, Ma Chao was shocked to realize that the civil strife in Jiangdong was even more tortuous and sinister than Liu Bei's defeat of Meng Huo and his capture of Yizhou.
The reason for this was that Ma Chao had underestimated someone.
A boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.
And that boy was exactly what he shouldn't underestimate.
That young man's name is Sun Quan.
Historically, he was the youngest emperor among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms.
But at the same time, he is also the person with the most superior background and the least heroic person.
Historically, Sun Jian's impatience and strength were almost inherited by his eldest brother Sun Ce, while the third eldest brother Sun Yi also had the style of a general.
But Sun Quan, the second youngest son of the Sun family, is a bit introverted and doesn't like to talk much, probably because his father and brother are too strong.
No wonder, when his father and brother spoke, he really only had the chance to say: "Yes".
Since then, Sun Jian did not think much of him, because Sun Quan had an older brother who was as capable as Sun Jian, and his father was not worried about having no successor.
"The eldest son is like a mountain, Bo Fu.
When dad goes to war, you are the mountain of the family.
Like the second son, I will rely on you in the future."
These words often came into Sun Quan's ears.
Although he was still young at the time, he didn't quite understand what it meant, but he also knew that his father was not very satisfied with him after all, and he felt a little depressed.
As a result, he became even more silent.
The silent Sun Quan is not only silent, he also likes to read.
His favorite history was the collection of classics and history, and he was familiar with Tai Shigong's Historical Records and Ban Gu's Han Shu, especially the story of Xiang and Liu competing for the world, which he relished.

Sun Quan also read military books, including Sun, Wu, Sima Fa, Liu Tao, Wei Liaozi, etc., and he never let go of the scrolls.
So much so that his brothers laughed at him: "Can you defeat the enemy just by looking at those bamboo slips?"
Especially his younger brother Sun Yi, who always teased him: "Brother, come and test your skills.
You can choose any sword, gun, sword and halberd.
I am bare-handed."
But he was just such a person, a taciturn figure who was ignored by almost everyone in Jiangdong.
When Sun Ce was seriously injured and was taken out of Wuxian to recuperate, he naturally began to take over Sun Ce's foundation at the tender age of sixteen.
Once he took office, this taciturn young man suddenly seemed like a different person.
He seems to be very knowledgeable about political strategy and internal affairs, and he is sharp and sharp in dealing with sharp and sharp points.
Sometimes he is more cautious and comprehensive than strategists such as Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong, as if he is born to be a leader.
Especially regarding Sun Ce's defeat in the Jingzhou expedition, he didn't have the slightest panic or confusion of a young boy.
He tolerated it for a month with cold eyes and watched the powerful Jiangdong powerful men doing their own thing.
He remained motionless in the midst of it.
However, after March, when all the powerful nobles revealed their intentions to oppose Sun Yat-sen, he used heavy troops to suppress them and continued to fight, and he managed to calm down the possible civil strife in Jiangdong without causing any disturbance.
His political skills were extremely proficient. .
In particular, the actions of confiscating the homes of those powerful families and exterminating their families would not spare even newborn babies, which moved those powerful generals even if their hands were stained with countless blood: After all, Sun Quan was only a sixteen-year-old boy.
Later, Sun Quan used his outstanding leadership skills and unique political vision to vigorously rectify the power of Jiangdong.
He personally led Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, Jiang Qin and other generals to conduct military exercises in the south, which made the soldiers in Jiaozhou tremble and tremble.
We dare not take advantage of the turmoil in Jiangdong and send troops to Jiangdong to get a share of the pie.
After these heroes finished, Sun Quan seemed to have just begun his ruling strategy.
He began to implement large-scale farming measures, introduced advanced farming and smelting technologies from the Central Plains, opened a large number of businesses, and spent money to buy war horses from Liaodong.
Only half a year later, agriculture, handicrafts, commerce, and navigation in the Jiangnan region had made great progress, and there were faint signs that the economic center of gravity would shift from north to south in later generations.
And just when Sun Quan was in great power, he was working hard to govern, and Jiangdong's economy was booming.
A very gratifying and sad thing happened: Sun Ce recovered from his illness When Sun Ce woke up, he was very happy to see the changes in Sun Quan over the past year.
He was even more happy to see that Jiangdong was beginning to show signs of vitality: "Zhongmou, the imperial envoy Liu Wan commented that you have a magnificent appearance, an unshakable body, and a great nobility.
On the surface, when you were at your oldest, I still didn’t believe it, but now it seems that you really have the tenderness of a mother.”
The mother Sun Ce refers to is their biological mother Wu, the old woman who valued Liu Bei as her son-in-law at Ganlu Temple in the novel.
This was naturally made up by Mr.
Luo.
This Wu family was very visionary and courageous at that time.
When Sun Jian forced her to marry, she nodded and agreed to marry Sun Jian as a weak woman.
After Mrs.
Wu married Sun Jian, the relationship between the couple was extremely harmonious, and Sun Jian also listened to his wife's words very much.
Even if he was not in a good mood at times and couldn't help but get angry and yell, Mr.
Wu would come out and say a few words slowly, but he was so gentle.
With a whisper, a roaring lion was subdued.
"Quietness overcomes impatience, cold overcomes heat, tranquility is the rule of the world."
Sun Quan thought of this sentence in the Tao Te Ching, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
He finally understood that his own way of governing Jiangdong was also to use tranquility to overcome impatience.
Sun Ce didn't understand this, or he wasn't interested in understanding this.
He looked at Sun Quan, who already had a hint of princely bearing, and said something that Sun Quan had never thought of: "Now that Jiangdong is stable and vitality is restored, it is a good opportunity to send troops to attack Jingzhou again.
Brother Quan, I will personally control the army this time.
Jiangdong’s internal affairs will be left to you to take care of.”
"Eldest Brother" Sun Quan suddenly changed his mind and blurted out: "This must never happen" "Why?"
Sun Ce smiled proudly, patted Sun Quan on the shoulder, and said cheerfully: "Do you not trust me, or do you still not believe in my vision?

Don't worry, after I leave, Jiangdong will be handed over to you, I will rest assured."
Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this.
He looked at Sun Ce's clear and trusting eyes and opened his mouth, wanting to express all the worries in his heart.
But when the words came to his lips, they became one sentence: "Then Quan hereby wishes my brother a great victory and personally beheads Ma Chaoxiang":
