I am a sister-in-law in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 107
Sun Ce listened to Qiao Jingjing's big words.

If they were Qiao Er and Qiao San, they would have a sister who knew them well. She would talk about his shortcomings every time, and think about him and think of a better place for him.

Sansheng is lucky.

"You are the eldest in the family, and I am also the eldest in the family. Why don't you think about your younger brothers and sisters when you are the eldest? Da Qiao, please stop trying to persuade your two younger brothers. I know it well."

Sun Ce asked Lu Meng to invite Qiao Er and Qiao San the next day and arranged two tasks for them to choose from.

One of them is to lead five hundred soldiers each, starting from centurions. The other is to not lead soldiers and only do some civilian duties in the army, such as recording, and are under Zhang Zhao's management.

Qiao Er and Qiao San have heard a lot about Zhang Zhao these days.

Many Zong brothers from the Sun family came to invite brothers Qiao Er and Qiao San for a drink. They all praised Mrs. Qiao and gave Qiao Er and Qiao San wine, gifts, swords and BMWs.

Some people said: "This Mrs. Zhang Zhao is nothing! She insists on making trouble with Wu Hou, insists on saying that Wu Hou favors Mrs. Qiao too much and ignores Mrs. Gu."

How could Qiao Er and Qiao San work under Zhang Zhao?

Wouldn't it be better to give yourself into the hands of others and let Zhang Zhao ravage you in every possible way?
Qiao Er and Qiao San unanimously selected five hundred soldiers, and they also wanted to fight.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry. We have little experience in fighting, but we can read military books. My sister loved to read Sun Tzu's Thirty Strategies of War in those years, and we brothers also read it often. We memorize these military books by heart, no better than I do. My sister is bad."

At that time, Sun Ce also knew that Qiao Jingjing liked to watch Sun Tzu's Art of War.

In fact, it was Qiao Jingjing who felt that she was not good at these seal characters and wanted to read Sun Tzu's Art of War and the 36 Stratagems, so she always asked Qiao Er and Qiao San to read them to her.

I read a book again and did my homework together with my brothers.

What a great idea.

That night, Sun Ce asked Qiao Jingjing what books she had read recently.

Qiao Jingjing looked at the antique bedroom, and there was a huge embroidery stand on the other side.

Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, recently customized it for her.

What Mrs. Wu probably means is that Qiao Jingjing has recently become a celebrity in everyone's eyes, and many people have come to fawn over her, which is not a good reputation.

It's better to work as a female worker at home.

Mrs. Wu, her mother-in-law, gave Qiao Jingjing a landscape painting and asked Qiao Jingjing to trace the pattern and embroider it.

When Qiao Jingjing received this task, her heart ached for most of the day.

She is engaged in agriculture, not fashion design or textile trade.

But Qiao Jingjing smiled and told her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, that she would study hard and remember her mother-in-law's teachings.

"What books does your husband like to read?"

Qiao Jingjing asked Sun Ce.

Sun Ce said that he recently read the Nine Transformations of Sun Tzu's Art of War:

"In all methods of military use, give orders to the army, unite the army and gather the masses, leave no dead ground, plan for the ground, fight when the ground is dead, the soldiers cannot help themselves, the army cannot attack, the city cannot attack, the land cannot be contested, Your life is amiss."

It turned out that Sun Ce wanted to discuss military strategy with her tonight.

Sun Tzu's Art of War seems to only talk about marching and fighting, but in fact it also contains many philosophical principles.

The first military book in ancient times is extensive and profound in content and is the essence of military thought.

Not only can it be used for marching and fighting, but it is really helpful for broadening your horizons in dealing with people.

So it can continue to influence future generations.

"How much do I know about marching and fighting? I only know about mulberry gardens and chicken and duck ponds."

Qiao Jingjing is very humble, smile.

"Your two younger brothers said that you read this book and often reasoned with them. You can also tell your husband tonight and let me listen to your teachings, Da Qiao."

Sun Ce leaned over to Qiao Jingjing in a sticky manner.

Qiao Jingjing escaped with a smile.

"What are you hiding from? What do you have to cover up or hide in front of your husband?"

Sun Ce forced Qiao Jingjing to tell him something profound about the art of war.

Qiao Jingjing was finally forced to do nothing.

It is said that an open gun is easy to hide, but a hidden arrow is difficult to guard against.

Sun Ce asked Qiao Jingjing to give an example.

Qiao Jingjing was speechless.

Sun Ce is a man with so much experience in actual combat. The brothers usually read military books, but it's just their personal temperament.

Sun Ce is bold and domineering, while Sun Quan's strategy is balanced. Sun Yi is even more bold and generous than Sun Ce, not as domineering as Sun Ce, and not as strategic as Sun Quan.

"I said, don't laugh at me."

"How could I laugh at you? When have I ever made fun of you?"

Sun Ce thought of the first time he met Qiao Jingjing, when she flattered him for a while, praised him to the sky, flew over the walls, and hugged his thigh spinelessly crying tears and snot all the time beg him.

He never laughed at her at that time.

"Everyone knows that it is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. Can you tell me how to hide and how to defend against it?"

Sun Ce asked Qiao Jingjing to tell him.

Sun Ce could already feel the prosperity and bustle around him. In fact, there was a lot of instability behind it, and there were many invisible arrows pointing at him.

Qiao Jingjing also discovered Sun Ce's thinking ability.

He has changed so much along the way.

He used to kill people at every turn, then he recognized people by his appearance and gathered talents for his use, and now he reflects on his own weaknesses and predicaments.

The so-called unity of knowledge and action.

You can't just have theoretical knowledge and talk on paper.

Nor can we just go around in circles, only working without summarizing experience.Sun Ce told Qiao Jingjing that he wanted to take the opportunity to attack Xuchang and move Emperor Xian of Han to Jiangdong.

When Qiao Jingjing was in college, she heard an expert lecture on the history of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty followed the Sui Dynasty.

The capital of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was Chang'an.

Later, Wu Zetian moved the capital to Luoyang.

The reason is that there are so many people living in Chang'an that the groundwater is no longer drinkable.Because people in ancient times had only one channel for excreting domestic sewage, which was to dig a hole and drain it underground.

Ultimately contaminating underground drinking water.

Wu Zetian moved the population and capital to Luoyang.

That Luoyang was the Luoyang of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the south, the Jiangnan area has always had good climate conditions, very good water sources, crops and a large population, and the economic centers are all in the Jiangnan area.

Historically, no one set the capital in the south.

In this country, the political center is in the south and the economic center is in the north.

Almost all of these dynasties that once built their capitals in Nanjing were short-lived.

Including Zhu Di, the founder of Ming Dynasty.Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the Yuan Dynasty, unified China, and set the capital in Nanjing.When Zhu Di became emperor, he must move the capital from Nanjing to Beijing.

The reason is that in the north, he can resist the Mongols and resist the invasion from the west.

This is why Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have been at a stalemate in the north. Cao Cao will later go on an expedition to Wuhuan in the northwest. After stabilizing the ethnic minority nomads in the north, Cao Cao can go south in one fell swoop and fight against Chibi and Sun Liu. The coalition forces fought a big battle.

If Cao Cao did not conquer the north, he would not be able to go south, and he would be attacked from both sides.

Similarly, Sun Ce's Jiangdong is also in such a dilemma.

Sun Ce only controlled the economic center, which had money and population.

But the political center is not in his hands.

In the north, formerly in Luoyang, now in Cao Cao's hands, is Xuchang.

Sun Ce wanted to transfer Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to his hands. This idea was conceptually correct.

But after all, Sun Ce only moved around the south. He had never been to the Northwest, outside Beijing, Northeast China, Mongolia, or Xinjiang.

Sun Ce actually didn't understand much about this overwhelming terrain change from top to bottom, from north to south.

What he wanted to discuss with Qiao Jingjing was that he rode a fast horse himself, and took advantage of the fact that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were fighting in full swing, with a lot of emptiness and a lot of weakened defenses, and he took Han Xiandi to Jiangdong.

At this time, he was afraid that someone would shoot a secret arrow at him and it would be difficult to defend against it.

Qiao Jingjing looked at Sun Ce again and again.

her husband.

Sun Ce told her everything for this reason.

How should she explain it to him?
Come, let’s draw again.

Qiao Jingjing first sketched the Mongolian grassland.

The Mongolian grassland, the Tianshan Mountains, Yinshan Mountains, and the Hexi Corridor in the west, and then the Greater Khingan Range, Lesser Khingan Range, North China Plain, Yellow River, Central China Plain, Huaihe River, Yangtze River, mountains in the southwest, the Yangtze River Delta in the southeast, and Fujian in the east One area, wait.

After Qiao Jingjing finished painting, she made a top-down gesture to Sun Ce.

She only asked him with her eyes whether it was easier to attack from south to north or from north to south.

Sun Ce really frowned at that time.

When marching and fighting, you often need to occupy the commanding heights, because you have the advantage of attacking from top to bottom.

It's easy to occupy the high ground and defend it.

But no one can gain advantage by occupying a low-lying area and attacking a bandit's den on the top of a mountain.

For example, Pan Lin, the bandit who often caused trouble in the Kuaiji area, so far, Sun Ce has not been able to deal with him.

"Da Qiao, you want to tell me that even if I succeed in bringing His Majesty the Emperor to Wu Commandery in Kuaiji, it will be easy for Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others to counterattack, but it will be difficult for me to defend."

Sun Ce pointed to the Yangtze River again.

"I have the natural danger of the Yangtze River. The northerners are good at fighting with cavalry troops, but they are not good at sailing troops."

Qiao Jingjing only knew that in the past 5000 years, no one had the ability to divide the country into north and south along the Yangtze River.

if any.

To the south, there are Jingzhou, Yizhou, and the southwest area.

From east to west, the height is controlled by the low.

It’s expensive, laborious, and difficult.

Qiao Jingjing and Sun Ce finally discussed this.

Welcoming Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to the south of the Yangtze River is the highest goal.

Before achieving this highest goal, we must first deal with the restless Shanyue in Jiangdong, because some of them colluded with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and some colluded with Cao Cao in the north.

We also need to eliminate some reactionary forces within Jiangdong. They watch the fire from across the bank and are ready to set fire to it at the right time. It is very scary.

It is even more important to find the right time to obtain the important Jingzhou.

Only by winning Jingzhou can we have the opportunity to go west and capture Yizhou.

Yizhou has been a land of abundance since ancient times. Thousands of years ago, the ancient country of Luocheng, Silkworm Cong and Yufu, had a large population and a developed economy. The more turbulent the outside world, the more stable and peaceful it seemed internally.

Sun Ce pointed at Qiao Jingjing's nose, feeling a little happier.

"The first time you and I met, you told me that you could draw a map. Longzhong would take three points of the world to capture Jingzhou. I understand how to seize Jingzhou! Draw a map and explain it to me? How can one divide the world into three points? ?
