Back to Sun Ce's POV
Meanwhile at Xiakou, Jing Province’s Ar naval battles for altze River are filled with corpse and blood
“DAMMIT!!!!” Cursed Sun Ce while looking at the Jing Province naval caxia should not have been able to fight back Jiangdong army, but ould have expected that Liu Biao was able to70,000 troops in just a short time Moreover, the one that eneral, but a new lieutenant general called Wen Ping
Although Wen Ping did not fight Sun Ce, he had dueled with Sun Ce's senior general Taishi+ Ci and was able to fight with hi with that, this person also excelled at naval battles and was in sync with Huang Zu Those pair let Jiangdong’s navy suffer a heavy loss In several days, Jiangdong’s Army has sufferedProvince Arxia now being in a very difficult situation and the loss of Lujiang, ist Zhou Yu seeks an audience with you!” The uard inform Sun Ce
“Audience denied!!!” Sun Ce replied it subconsciously due to his agitated state
“Yes sir!!!” The bodyguard quickly retreated to inform Zhou Yu but suddenly stopped by Sun Ce's shout “Wait, let Gongjin come in!!!” Sun Ce knew that Zhou Yuto see him
“Milord!!!!” Zhou Yu quickly entered thehis fist toward Sun Ce He knows that Sun Ce's ht now but these jin, why are you so hesitant? Quickly say the news! Speak frankly!!!” Sun Ce waved at Zhou Yu He hated to be the person who hesitated to say one this piece of inforanized his words His opening he said “Milord, I have soood news and bad news?!” Sun Ce stunned
“First, I start with good news!!!” Zhou Yu decided it hiood news is Chen Duan's clansmen have been exterminated by Lu Bu!!!”
“The Chen clan was extered his expression into anger “Gongjin, why do you treat this genocide as good neould you care to enlighten this brother of yours?! Oh, Uncle Zizheng, Sun Ce is truly sorry for har you!!!” From Sun Jian's time, Chen Duan and his clansmen are one of the retainers of the Sun clan Later, when Sun Jian died, all of the Sun clan's retainers were scattered everywhere, leaving only small amount of retainers This Chen Duan, stayed at Sun Ce's side ever since then, helping hih ti
Nohen he heard the news of Chen Duan's clansmen’s extermination, a wound appeared in Sun Ce's heart
When Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce's expression, he knew that Sun Ce has misunderstood him He quickly said “Milord, the matter of Mr Chen Duan's clansmen also saddened me a lot, but people will need to look at the future, if not those bones who died will be of no value if one kept brooding about the past Milord, Mr Chen Duan of Chen clan was Wancheng city’s top nobles Because Milord had conquered Wancheng city and put Chen Duan as top official, the Chen clan has beco city nobles But now Lu Bu has extinguished the Chen clan He did not just offend us, but offended all of noble fa's nobles have been offended by his act!”
The ot brighter Sun Ce also had offended nobles a lot In the past, when he was still 20 years old, he had destroyed Lu clan of Wancheng city Although Sun Ce did not personally kill them, he made the Lu clan die of starvation Only Lu Xun, Lu Ji and Lu Xun's sister were spared
The retted his decision for killing the Lu clan Why is that? Because the Lu clan represented one of the noble clans, and they represented one portion of power in this Han Dynasty
Those nobles who have big connections with the Lu clan quickly alienated Sun Ce Once in a while, they sent small amounts of soldiers to settle the score with Sun Ce and all of scholars from those noble fa's official putting Sun Ce in a big dileovern it, with nobody wanting to become an official, it was truly disastrous!!! What would you do, if suddenly the grain prices rose up until commoners were unable to eat they starve to death? That will only invite troubles and chaos
And if you force people to becoes like that beco up Damocles sword over your head? Those nobles have many private soldiers and you have offended thee on you They will not attack you directly but they will concoct plans with other warlords to seize your city or secretly destroy your resources
TL: Damoclès Swords idios+over+head
In the past, this is how Chen clan of Guangling colluded with Old Cao to expel Lu Bu froood for long ter Xiapi, the Chen clan of Guangling was extinguished by Old Cao and Chen Deng hiabond with Lu Bu
nobles who did not support a warlord is bound to die in a very short tisun Zan killed Liu Yu, he lost the entire You Province nobles support and in the end, he joined the rank of the dead
Nevertheless, the death of the Chen clan of Wancheng city is a good news for Sun Ce
