Paper, after all, can't contain the fire. No matter how Sun Ce concealed it. In the end, Mrs. Wu still learned the bad news. When she first heard the letter, Mrs. Wu let out a sigh and fell unconscious. Suddenly, there was a rush in the house.

Fortunately, after the doctor's diagnosis, Mrs. Wu woke up quickly. She was fine, but she was too sad to accept this fact, so her body automatically began to protect herself and entered a coma.

When Mrs. Wu woke up, tears rained down. She is a typical traditional woman, husband and children, and taking care of the inner house is her life. Since marrying Sun Jian, she has been worried every day and night. She didn't understand the big things of the men, she just hoped that the gods and Buddhas could bless her men to be safe and sound.

As a result, her husband and her brother left her within a few years. After losing her brother and husband, now she is shocked to hear the bad news that her youngest son is gone. How can she withstand this kind of blow. But what could she do but cry?

Sun Ce dug three feet into the ground like crazy in Jiangdong, and Jiangbei also received information. When Liu Bei heard the news, he could only sigh. The Han Dynasty advocated repaying virtue with virtue and repaying grievances with grievances. Incidents such as avenging relatives, friends, and deceased owners are not uncommon, and have formed a social trend.

From the official to the non-governmental, this kind of thing has been encouraged. There are even many examples of avenging people who go to the government to surrender after killing someone, but the government is unwilling to arrest the criminal, and even finds a way to exonerate the criminal.

There are too many such things, and there are countless in the history books. The most fundamental reason for the prevalence of revenge in the Han Dynasty, especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was the problem of Confucian ideology. Ever since Dong Zhongshu was used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Confucian Ram faction has occupied the ideological trend. One of the main characteristics of the Rams is that they advocate great revenge. "The king kills, the minister does not please the thief, and the minister is not the minister. No revenge, not son. Anyway, they regard Confucius's famous saying, and the revenge of the ten generations can still be avenged, and they also regard it as a guideline. As a result, vendetta and revenge will be retribution, and the disaster will be caused to children and grandchildren.

It's good to report grievances directly, but often many things can't be overdone. If you are too much in pursuit of revenge, where is the law?

Liu Bei was disgusted with this kind of thing. Because morally and emotionally, there is nothing wrong with revenge. But legally, no. Because if you take revenge for personal revenge but don't go through the government, it's easy for things to get out of control. Like Yang Qiu to take revenge, just because the county official insulted his mother, he gathered a group of people to destroy the whole house. Then not only did he have no, but he also became famous, and was finally recommended as a filial piety and an official.

In Liu Bei's opinion, this matter is simply too incomprehensible. Yangqiu, you want to avenge your mother, yes, there is a debtor and a debtor, can you kill the county official? But you slaughtered people of all ages, what is this?

No wonder Han Feizi once said that Confucianism messes with the law. If such a thing happened and he didn't pursue it, Liu Bei really didn't know what the use of Han Law was.

Something like Yang Qiu, I don't know how many there are in the world. Liu Bei has encountered it more than once or twice. Now in the north, Liu Bei's territory, he began to strictly restrict, prohibiting private fights, and looking for the government if there is something to do. But if you want to change customs, where is it so easy.

The idea of great revenge will always be rooted in the blood of the Han people and passed down from generation to generation until the martial spirit of the Han people gradually declines, and since the Song Dynasty, the great revenge has gradually disappeared. lost the environment in which it lived.

A tragedy like the one that is happening in Jiangdong now is a typical revenge incident. What kind of chain reaction this incident will trigger, Liu Bei doesn't know. So he gathered Jia Xu and the others together at the first time and began to discuss.

After listening to what happened, Jia Xu began to speak: "My lord, the minister thinks that it is time to use troops to Jiangdong. It is very likely that Sun Ce will take this opportunity to coexist with the people of Jiangdong and share the same hatred for the enemy, reorganize the troops and horses, boost morale, and then engage our army. ”

Xu Shu and others also agreed. The army has not been launched, and the pressure on Jiangdong has been very huge. Some time ago, Sun Ce's counterattack also made them vigilant. At this time, Jiangdong can't be given any more chances.

If Sun Ce seized the opportunity to pinch the hearts of Jiangdong's torn hearts again, wouldn't he find something to do for himself?

Liu Bei was as good as a stream, so he ordered Guan Yu to lead the sailors and prepare to cross the river.

Jiangdong, Sun Ce finally calmed down after digging out all the murderers behind the scenes and killing many of the guys who looked obscure by volatilizing the question.

Sun Kuang is dead, Sun Yi has a big life, and he has been rescued. Sun Ce cleaned up his mood, suppressed his grief, and began to build momentum. He summoned the generals and colonels, intending to tell them that the matter of Sun Kuang and Sun Yi was instructed by the Jiangbei Han army. His younger brother can't die in vain, and he must avenge this revenge. I think the soldiers will definitely understand him and support him.

However, before the matter could be done, there was an urgent report that the Han army had crossed the river. And it has already broken through the river defenses and began to land on the south bank.

Sun Ce listened, hurriedly got up, and rushed to the map. Inquire about the location of the Han army. A few days later, news came that the two cities of Jiangcheng and Dantu had been obtained by the Han army. The defenders of the city, without resistance, surrendered when the Han army first appeared.

Hearing this, half of the energy in Sun Ce's heart disappeared in an instant. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth with a creak. He knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to return to heaven. What if he had an army. What if the army still has the strength to fight. The local heroes are no longer with his Sun family.

When the army does not get local support, the army becomes a tree without roots and a weed without water. Without local support, where would the food and military salaries come from? Where do you get the replenishment and weapons?

When Sun Ce was silent in the mansion, Mrs. Wu sent someone to call him in.

During this time, Mrs. Wu was a lot older, and the gray hair on her head increased significantly. When she saw Sun Ce coming, she sighed and said, "My son is here, sit down." ”

Sun Ce's thoughts were wandering, he was always worried about the front-line military aircraft, and he didn't know what his mother called him for. Mrs. Wu saw that Sun Ce looked like she was in a state of despair. He said: "My son, since this family business can't be kept, then don't want it, okay?" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't help but stand up again, and said excitedly: "Mother, but Zhongmou is playing right and wrong in front of you again?" ”

Mrs. Wu waved her hand and said, "Quan'er was sent to Yi'er by you, and she hasn't come back yet." You forgot? ”

Facing Sun Ce's puzzled gaze, Mrs. Wu said, "Alas, I'm a woman, and I don't understand what's going on in this world. It's just that since Xuande is powerful, I Jiangdong can't resist it, so it's better to take refuge in Xuande. When your father was alive, he was friendly with Xuande and often praised him as a hero in the world. With this incense, I think Xuande will not treat my family badly. ”

"I'm at this age, and I don't have a few years to live. I don't count on anything else. I look forward to being with a few of you and living a peaceful life for a few years. Your father is gone, your uncle is gone, and now Kuang'er is gone. If I continue to fight, I really can't think about it. I haven't been able to sleep well every night these days. I always dreamed that your father was asking me, how are you all right, but now that Kuang'er is gone, how can you let me answer. As Mrs. Wu spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
