the three of them had wanted to hear!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, Sun Ce had lived day and night with these three veteran generals; how could he not know what they were thinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before the three could step forward to speak further,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Ce waved his hand and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The three generals must not be impatient; hear me out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I want revenge more than anyone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But I know deep down that if my father’s spirit is in heaven, he would not wish for me to act recklessly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You have all surely realized the power behind the Yuzhou noble clans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"With our current military strength, it is very difficult to win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Therefore, we need foreign aid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Ce said decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, the core civil and military officials all could not help but stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Jian’s reputation... in this Guandong region, was now even more notorious than Dong Zhuo’s!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Let alone staunch allies, there was not a single warlord who even maintained normal diplomatic relations with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Where were they to find foreign aid?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Among the group, Kan Ze was the first to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To say there was absolutely no foreign aid was not entirely true.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was just that... the strength of that potential aid was terrifyingly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Moreover, the identity was rather special.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Sun Ce spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I intend to send an envoy to request reinforcements from Dong Zhuo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"My father was the Yuzhou Inspector appointed by the imperial court, a legitimate official of the court.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"He was even the current 'Marquis of Ye!'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now that we have been besieged and attacked by the rebels of Yuzhou, the court should provide us with assistance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing Sun Ce say this, the expressions on everyone's faces could not help but become somewhat strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although everything Sun Ce said was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But did everyone not already know clearly what kind of relationship existed between Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To put it nicely, it was called mutual benefit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, it was called mutual exploitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, his focus was clearly on Guanxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Would he really intervene in the affairs of Guandong?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Besides, sending troops was no small matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Dong Zhuo had vast resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Would he really get involved in this?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Everyone, believe me, Dong Zhuo will definitely agree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Facing the skepticism of the group, Sun Ce did not offer much explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But the determination in his eyes proved that he was not speaking without basis.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Ce was looking far ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, why did he appoint Sun Jian as the Yuzhou Inspector?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wasn't the goal to make Sun Jian fight to the death with the Yuzhou noble clans?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was an open scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But Sun Jian could not refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because after accepting the appointment as Yuzhou Inspector from Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian could also gain many benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Driven by huge interests, did Sun Jian have any other choice?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now, Sun Jian had unfortunately died in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This counted as an unexpected event.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But Sun Jian’s old troops had not been scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under Sun Ce’s own leadership, they could still erupt with powerful combat strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it was said that before, the conflict between Sun Jian and the Yuzhou noble clans was one of interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then now, the conflict between Sun Ce and the Yuzhou noble clans was a blood feud that could not coexist!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This kind of hatred could not be resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, continuing to appoint Sun Ce as Yuzhou Inspector to take over Sun Jian’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was clearly for Dong Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The benefits far outweighed the disadvantages!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then why was Sun Ce certain that Dong Zhuo would send troops to support him?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because Sun Jian was dead, the Sun army had lost its leader and had been weakened to a certain extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The weakening of the Sun army meant that Yuan Shu and the Yuzhou noble clans had been indirectly strengthened.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo did not know exactly how much ability Sun Ce had.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even if he did, he could not guarantee that the Sun army would not be wiped out by the Yuzhou noble clans after losing Sun Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, in order to continue to achieve balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And to continue to inflict greater losses on the Yuzhou noble clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For the Dong Zhuo faction, the best way was to send a portion of troops to assist.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, there was no need for too many troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just ten or twenty thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Would be enough to turn the situation around.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And help Sun Ce stabilize the situation!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To put it plainly, Sun Ce seeking help from Dong Zhuo was not to have Dong Zhuo send troops to help him strike the Yuzhou noble clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But to have Dong Zhuo send troops to act as a deterrent and help stabilize the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Besides this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Ce was certainly not trying to get something for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang had followed their father Sun Jian out last time and had almost been killed by Ji Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This made Sun Ce feel extremely uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Jian had four sons and one daughter in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Besides Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Shangxiang, there were also the third son Sun Yi and the fourth son Sun Kuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But because Sun Yi and Sun Kuang were still young, they had already stayed in Danyang with Sun Jian’s wife, Lady Wu, and their uncle Wu Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Only Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang had been following Sun Jian by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As the saying goes, one should not put all their eggs in one basket.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Ce also felt that it was not safe with his mother Lady Wu and uncle Wu Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Danyang was on the Yangtze River, Yuan Shu’s influence had recently begun to expand toward Huaisi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was not too far from Danyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he were to attack his uncle Wu Jing in the future, it was not impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In order for the Sun family bloodline to survive in the world, Sun Ce intended to send Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang to a safer place.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And Chang'an was undoubtedly the safest place in the world today, without exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he were to defeat the Yuzhou noble clans in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And his own forces were strengthened.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He could just find a way to bring Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang back.\u003C\u002Fp>",1100,"2026-06-16T10:17:20.643Z","2026-06-17T08:53:02.455Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
