但是事实证明孙策的这个选择是正确的，我们来看两个事实。第一个，在魏、蜀、吴三国三巨头当中，孙权的寿命是最长的，孙权71岁，曹操66岁，刘备58岁。第二点，在魏、蜀、吴这三个政权当中，吴的寿命又是最长的，多少年呢？五十一年；魏国存在多少年呢？四十六年；蜀国存在多少年呢？四十二年。也就是在魏、蜀、吴这三家当中，东吴政权是最稳固的，原因之一就是孙策选择了一个好的接班人。
据说当天晚上孙策找来了张昭等人，说了这样的话，他说：“中国方乱，夫以吴、越之众，三江之固，足以观成败，公等善相吾弟。”这里说的中国就是指的中原，说中原地方正是一片大乱，我们这个地方是可以相对安定一点来天下的成败的，请大家好好地辅佐我的弟弟。然后把孙权叫来，把自己的印绶交给孙权，说：“举江东之众，决机于两阵之间，与天下争衡，卿不如我；举贤任能，各尽其心，以保江东，我不如卿。”就是率领一支部队去打天下，弟弟你不如哥哥我；团结自己的部下，巩固已有的胜利成果，哥哥我不如弟弟你。那么这段话的意思就很清楚，孙策不但为自己选择了一个接班人，而且留下了一个治理江东地区的既定方针，那就是保江东、观成败。也就是说孙策非常清楚自己的历史使命是打江山，而以他江东集团的力量，能打下的江山也就是这么大了，下一步要调整政策，变进攻为保守，所以必须找一个老臣谋国，不急不躁，举贤任能，使所有的人才都能够各尽其心、各尽其力的这样一个人，事实又证明孙策的这个决定是正确的。
But facts have proven that Sun Ce’s choice is correct. Let’s take a look at two facts. First, among the three giants of Wei, Shu, and Wu, Sun Quan has the longest lifespan: Sun Quan is 71 years old, Cao Cao is 66 years old, and Liu Bei is 58 years old. Secondly, among the three regimes of Wei, Shu, and Wu, Wu has the longest lifespan. How many years? Fifty one years; How many years did the State of Wei exist? Forty six years; How many years did the Kingdom of Shu exist? Forty two years. That is, among the three families of Wei, Shu, and Wu, the Eastern Wu regime is the most stable. One of the reasons is that Sun Ce has chosen a good successor.
It is said that Sun Ce summoned Zhang Zhao and others that night and said something like this: “China is in chaos, with the masses of Wu and Yue, and the solidity of the three rivers. It is sufficient to judge success or failure, and the public is kind to my younger brother.” By China, I mean the Central Plains, which is a place of great chaos. Our place can be relatively stable to determine the success or failure of the world. Please help my younger brother well. Then he called Sun Quan and handed his seal to Sun Quan, saying, “Take advantage of the people in the east of the Yangtze River and make a decisive decision between the two formations to compete with the world. Qing is not as good as me. Take advantage of each other’s abilities and abilities to protect the east of the Yangtze River. I am not as good as Qing.”; Unite with your subordinates and consolidate the existing victories. Brother, I am not as good as your brother. The meaning of this passage is clear. Sun Ce not only chose a successor for himself, but also left behind a set policy for governing the eastern region of the Yangtze River, that is, protecting the eastern region of the Yangtze River and observing success or failure. That is to say, Sun Ce is very clear that his historical mission is to fight against the mountains and rivers, and with the strength of his Jiangdong Group, the mountains and rivers that can be fought against are so large. The next step is to adjust policies and turn aggression into conservatism. Therefore, it is necessary to find an old minister to seek a country, not be impatient or impatient, and cultivate talents and abilities, so that all talents can do their best and do their best. The fact also proves that Sun Ce’s decision is correct.
所以江东集团的基本方略是守，但是守也有两种守法，一种叫做“抱残守缺”，一种叫做“以攻为守”。那么正是在这个问题上，江东集团内部分成了两派，一派以张昭为首的主张固守，不要惹事生非，这个我们称它为鸽派；另一派以周瑜和鲁肃为首的主张以攻为守，靠进攻来保住既定成果，这个我们不妨称之为鹰派。而孙权表面上在鹰派和鸽派之间搞平衡，骨子里是倾向于鹰派的，我们明白了这一点，我们才能明白将来赤壁之战的时候，孙权所做的决策。而此刻孙权拍板，说甘宁你去打黄祖吧，这个任务就像这杯酒一样，交给你了。那么在建安十三年，这个年头，孙权集团已经把矛头开始指向荆州，也就在同一年，曹操也把他的矛头指向荆州，而在荆州内部，刘备由于诸葛亮的策划也在打荆州的主意，荆州成了一群虎狼眼中的一只羊，那么荆州又是怎么回事呢？请看下集——必争之地。
Therefore, the basic strategy of Jiangdong Group is to abide by the law, but there are also two ways to abide by the law, one is called “guarding against defects”, and the other is called “defending by attacking”. It is precisely on this issue that the Jiangdong Group is divided into two factions. One faction, led by Zhang Zhao, upholds the idea of not causing trouble, which we call the dove faction; The other faction, led by Zhou Yu and Lu Su, advocates that attack be the defense and rely on attack to maintain the established results, which we may call the hawk faction. While Sun Quan superficially balances between hawks and doves, he is inherently biased towards hawks. Only by understanding this can we understand the decisions Sun Quan will make in the future Battle of Chibi. At this moment, Sun Quan made a decision and said, “Ganning, go fight Huang Zu. This task is like this glass of wine, and it’s up to you.”. In the 13th year of Jian’an, this year, the Sun Quan Group had begun to point its finger at Jingzhou. In the same year, Cao Cao also pointed his finger at Jingzhou. Inside Jingzhou, Liu Bei was also pursuing Jingzhou’s ideas due to Zhuge Liang’s planning, and Jingzhou became a sheep in the eye of a group of tigers. So what happened to Jingzhou? Please watch the next episode – The Place to Fight.
