I, Liu Ceyu, who is superb, understands it, so I can probably put it on the label of Lei Wen...
The romance of Soochow is the ignorance and fearlessness of a group of young people. The young people can gather into a ball of fire just by relying on their will and ambition, burning a little corner of their clothes on the edge of the boundary between friends, and igniting the warship in Chibi. But the essence of Jiangdong is a fire that does not live for a long time. Young and talented people succeed one after another until there is no more firewood to burn and Sun Wu is destroyed.
After re-reading the history books, I will only feel that the final disappearance of Soochow is not accidental. The predecessors have burned their lives to lay the foundation of Jiangdong. The rule of Soochow almost completely relies on the personal charm and cohesion of the leader. The neglect of the political system and the civil servant family makes the regime in danger. Once the leader dies, it will immediately change. Soochow is a fire-like army with a high degree of centralized military power, but no system that can support operations for a long time; Sun Ce's aggressive advancement and disdain to associate with aristocratic families will inevitably leave endless disasters.
So in the end, only Sun Zhongmou was left walking under the long palace wall of Jianye, saying that he would rather be a younger brother and praying for his brother's blessing. Although Sun Quan supported the family and divided the powers after he came to power, the dynasty was still doomed, and Jiangdong no longer had a suitable heir.
The demise of Jiangdong seems to be inevitable, there are still embers, but there is no new firewood to join. I have deduced many endings, but I still can't find a way that can help Soochow escape the fate of destruction, and at the same time, keep both sides alive without losing their personal heroism.
Some if-line myths that have been brushed up all the time are Gong Jin's countercurrent and personally stopped the hidden arrow that tore the map of Jiangdong in the fifth year of Jian'an; but from time to time, I think about what if Sun Ce had not died, but followed the original invasion plan and continued his invincible legend. Perhaps it will be Sun Wu who finally sits on the throne, but how many people will be standing next to the lonely Sun Tuoni?
So I hypothesized another possibility. The first emperor of Soochow, who died, returned to the starting point of his empire. His lover was lost and found. He believed that he was destined to return and seized the opportunity in advance. In fact, he was just a small error in the torrent of time and history, waiting to be corrected at any time.
Destiny is strange. In the process of fighting on the battlefield again, what kind of solution will Sun Ce find for Soochow?
In the context of this story, on the premise of respecting all historical figures and complying with historical logic and timeline, I want to create a path that I think allows Jiangdong, Shuangbi, and everyone to survive as much as possible.
The fire of Soochow is still burning in our writings.
