Sun Jian?

To be honest, Ma Chao never thought of this person in his mind. But think about it carefully, in the early days of the late Han Dynasty, it seems that Sun Jian was the most eye-catching, and even Cao Cao couldn't!

After all, Cao Cao still has the shadow of the great lord of the scholar clan behind him, but the martial artist Sun Jian has created a precedent for the humanization of martial artists. And his son Sun Ce continued this policy, recruiting celebrities and integrating into it. And by Sun Quan's generation, it was already completely a scholar class.

As for Uncle Liu Huang, who was a late bloomer, on the stage at the end of the Han Dynasty at this time, it was just a joke, and an official position such as a small lieutenant above a big soldier was not famous at all. Uncle Liu's ambition was to get the support of the Mi family in Xuzhou, the honor of 'Uncle Huang' in Xuchang, and Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou.

And Uncle Liu's ambition also further confirms the necessity of the humanization of martial artists: getting the support of the Mi family of the wang clan shows that Liu Bei has entered the beginning of the vision of those scholars, and obtaining the glory of 'Uncle Huang' is that Liu Bei has been recognized by the scholars. got Zhuge Liang, and it was said that Liu Bei began to closely integrate with the scholars, creating a situation in which warriors and scholars created the world together.

The same is true for Sun Jian. However, compared to Uncle Liu Huang, Sun Jian is more difficult. It was he who used his bravery and loyalty to gain the eyes of the scholars and leave his sons with valuable prestige and wealth.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion that broke out in 184 changed Sun Jian's life, and he was given the opportunity in life for the first time. The person who carried him was his fellow countryman, Zhu Jun, the second general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhu Jun was appointed as a Zhonglang general at that time and led the army to defeat the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army. Zhu Jun is a native of Yangzhou Huiji, Sun Jian is a native of Wu County, Yangzhou, the two counties are close neighbors, and the two can be called fellow villagers. Sun Jian did not live up to Zhu Jun's expectations, fought very bravely, and took the lead in climbing the city wall in the third Wancheng siege, capturing the city, and was appointed as the Sima of other departments for his merits.

Sun Jian's life was destined to be associated with war, and his re-promotion was due to the rebellion in Liangzhou. In 186, Han Sui and other rebels hit Guanzhong, and the Eastern Han court hurriedly led Dong Zhuo and other troops with a total of 100,000 troops to fight, and Zhang Wen recommended Sun Jian to the court to join the army.

Zhang Wen fought against the rebels in Liangzhou this time, first won a big victory in Meiyang, and then because he did not listen to Dong Zhuo's strategy, he rashly advanced the enemy and led to a great defeat. Dong Zhuo was dissatisfied and disobedient to Zhang Wen, Sun Jian once persuaded Zhang Wen to behead Dong Zhuo with military justice, but Zhang Wen refused, but because Dong Zhuo did those bad things in the later period, he was dug up, and Sun Jian became famous.

Later, due to the internal division and fratricidal fighting of the Liangzhou rebels—that is, when Han Sui was plotting to seize the position of the leader of the Tieqiang League, and Ma Teng was secretly planning to split up on the sidelines—Xiliang was temporarily unable to attack, and the war on the western border subsided for a while. Because of his meritorious work in following Zhang Wen to drive away thieves, Sun Jian was recruited to worship Yilang at the age of 31.

The councillor is only an official position that can be discussed in the imperial court, and has no real power, but this is the beginning of entering the imperial court as an official. In fact, in the late Han Dynasty society, if it was a scholar and celebrity with a family background, he could easily be promoted as filial piety and honesty and Maocai in the local area.

But for Sun Jian, there is no such smooth road, and he can only rely on his own hard work to go up step by step.

His next promotion was related to the war, there was a rebellion among the displaced people in Changsha, and the state and county could not be crowned, so Sun Jian was exiled as the Taishou of Changsha and went to quell the rebellion, which was regarded as the foundation of his own career.

In 190, the Kwantung heroes raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian, who was far away in Changsha, also responded with troops, and took his soldiers from Changsha all the way to fight and kill north, first killed Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, and then killed Zhang Shi, the Taishou of Nanyang, and then defected to Yuan Shu in Luyang, and with the support of Yuan Shu, he seized Yuzhou, which belonged to the control of the scholars, and then gathered Yuzhou soldiers and horses to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and after several battles, he finally broke through Luoyang and drove Dong Zhuo back to Guanzhong.

When attacking Luoyang, Sun Jian also obtained the jade seal of the country. When Sun Jian was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, news came from the rear that Yuan Shao sent a man named Zhou Qiao to rob his Yuzhou, Sun Jian was furious, and the Hui army and Yuan Shu jointly defeated Zhou Qiao.

Jia Xu mentioned Sun Jian because at this time Sun Jian had already broken through Luoyang and gained world fame. At this time, he was fighting with Zhou Qiao in full swing. And Sun Jian's attack on Luoyang was only a few days ago, and this battle made Sun Jian's starting point much higher than Ma Chao's, which made Ma Chao feel a little bigger.

Later, in 192, Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to attack Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and was shot to death by Liu Biao's sergeant Huang Zu.

This is the end of the main experience of the martial artist Sun Jian's life.

Among them, there seems to be no trace of intersection with the scholars, but if you analyze it carefully, you can see it. Everything Sun Jian did went straight to one goal: to gather fame and dominate the world!

Sun Jian was a brave and warlike warrior, but he was different from the first general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huangfu Song, and the second general, Zhu Jun. These two people were deeply poisoned by the idea of loyalty, and they didn't dare to touch the good country, and in the end they had to be picked up by two hundred and five Dong Zhuo. But Sun Jian did not have the imperial court in his eyes, when he killed Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, Wang Rui was appointed by the imperial court to assassinate Jingzhou and was his top boss; Moreover, when the Kwantung heroes raised troops to fight Dong Zhuo, Wang Rui also responded with troops; It is reasonable for Sun Jian to kill Wang Rui, and it is impossible to say it.

However, Sun Jian will not be bound by those court etiquette, whoever stands in his way to dominate the world is his enemy, and he should be killed!

It is said that the killing of Wang Rui and Zhang Shi was a stain on Sun Jianshi's humanization, but because he was very smart, he performed prominently in the later war against Dong, which made the scholars think that Sun Jian was a true gentleman who was unruly for the righteousness, so he gained prestige and entered the eyes of the scholars.

Sun Jian is also different from ordinary martial artists in that he understands the importance of fame and prestige, and does not blindly use military force. In a society like the Eastern Han Dynasty, which flaunted prestige, people without prestige could not be said to be able to move an inch. Those warriors who lacked prestige did not have the strong support of the scholars, and there was not a single one who was not quickly wiped out.

For Ma Chao, what he can say is Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zhan and others, in the eyes of these people, they only believe in force, although they have also attracted scholars and Qingliu, but it is just a coy posture. As a result, it is like a flash of fireworks, no matter how much impact and turmoil it causes, it quickly disappears from the stage of history.

Sun Jian is different from them. After he killed Wang Rui, he did not take Jingzhou but went north, in order to establish his reputation and prestige among Dong Zhuo.

Later, he killed Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi and possessed 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 lack of prestige, so he went to Yuan Shu and gave Yuan Shu a Nanyang County of Nuoda.

Yuan Shu began to entrap Sun Jian at the beginning of his arrival in Nanyang, and named him the acting Zhonglang general. The combination of the two, Yuan Shu was supported by Sun Jian's force, and Sun Jian was protected by Yuan Shu's prestige, so he got his own place. Then Yuan Shu showed him as the assassin of Yuzhou, and he could rightfully occupy Yuzhou and obtain a base area.

As a result, Sun Jian initially entered the eyes of those noble lords, and after that, he desperately crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and completely gained the reputation and popularity he wanted.

Sun Jian first fought a battle with Dong Zhuojun in Liangdong, and was defeated by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong, who was defeated very badly, and Sun Jian escaped by luck. He was not discouraged, gathered the army, marched again, and defeated Hu Zhen and Lu Bu in Yang, and killed Hua Xiong. Dong Zhuo was afraid of Sun Jian's bravery, and sent someone to woo him to conclude a marriage, but he sternly refused. Sun Jian marched to Dagu, the southern pass of Luoyang, defeated the army led by Dong Zhuo himself, and then marched to Luoyang, defeated Lü Bu, who remained in Luoyang, and recovered Luoyang.

The reconquest of Luoyang brought Sun Jian's prestige to its peak. After he entered Luoyang, the emperor's mausoleum dug up by Dong Zhuo in Pingsai went to the temple of the emperor of the Han Dynasty to worship, which also showed his consideration of gaining fame.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, with Sun Jian's prestige and the powerful force in his hands, and more importantly, he already had Yuzhou as a base at that time. If history had not put Sun Jian together, then Sun Jian could have done something. Unfortunately, he died unexpectedly in battle with Liu Biao, which made all his ambitions come to naught.

But he left his son Sun Ce a valuable asset, first, the prestige he had worked so hard to build up, which made Sun Ce more acceptable to scholars; Second, Sun Ce was left with a group of generals who could fight well and a force with strong combat effectiveness, which became the foundation for Sun Ce's future career.

Later, Sun Ce continued to follow his father's path, gradually becoming a warrior from a warrior, and finally created a new way out of the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.

At the same time, Liu Bei, another martial artist, was also carrying out arduous exploration, and on the basis of using force as the foundation for survival, he accepted the political concept of the scholars, and was widely supported by the scholars, and finally became a late bloomer.

It can be said that success is sometimes inevitable. The general direction is right, even if the road is rough, you can always see the light. And the general direction is wrong, no matter how brilliant it is, it is just a flash in the pan.

Ma Chao doesn't want to be Dong Zhuo, nor does he want to be Lu Bu or Gongsun Zhan, what he wants to be is a hero who divides one side but looks down on the world. So, on this road, he does not allow himself to make a mistake.

It's just that what he is wondering about now is that a small wasteland distribution has attracted the analysis of the Eastern Han Dynasty's forces, and even the psychological transformation of the martial artist Sun Jian....... This association is too awesome, right?
