Defection to Yuan Shu
In the fourth year of Chuping (193), after the end of the filial piety, Sun Ce He went to Shouchun to find Yuan Shu, preparing to take back his father Sun Jian's old troops and make contributions and avenge his father. Yuan Shu listened to his words and observed his behavior, and knew that he was capable of bending and stretching, which was very remarkable. But he was unwilling to return Sun Jian's old troops to him immediately so that he could stand on his own feet. So Yuan Shu said: "I have appointed your uncle Wu Jing as the governor of Danyang and your cousin Sun Bi as the captain.
Danyang is a place where elite soldiers are sent out. You can go to them and summon them. "The soldiers are brave." Because Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian was very afraid of Sun Ce, and now Sun Ce's uncle Wu Jing was appointed as the governor of Danyang, Sun Ce moved his mother to Qu'a, joined Wu Jing together with Lu Fan and Sun He, and relied on Wu Jing to recruit hundreds of soldiers. people. Later, he attacked the bandit Zulang in Jingxian County (now Jingxian County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province) and beat Zulang away.
In the first year of Xingping (194), Sun Ce took hundreds of people to defect to Yuan Shu. Only then did Yuan Shu return more than a thousand of the thousands of Sun Jian's old troops to Sun Ce's command. Grand Tutor Ma Rixi tried to appease Guandong, summoned Sun Ce with courtesy in Shouchun, and reported to the court that Sun Ce was appointed as the Huaiyi school captain. Yuan Shu's generals Qiao Rui and Zhang Xun all respected Sun Ce. Even Yuan Shu often sighed and said: "If I, Yuan Shu, had a son like Sun Lang, I would die with no regrets.
Sun Ce had a cavalryman who committed a crime and fled into Yuan Shu's territory to avoid punishment. After the incident, Sun Ce went to Yuan Shu to apologize and apologize. Yuan Shu said: The soldiers rebelled and should be punished. What can be excused? From then on, the army respected Sun Ce even more.
Building Jiangdong
In the first year of Xingping (194), Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty appointed Liu Yao as the governor of Yangzhou. The administrative office was Shouchun, which had been occupied by Yuan Shu. Liu Yao, with the assistance of Sun Ce's uncle Wu Jing and his cousin Sun Bi, crossed the Yangtze River south and established the administrative office in Qu'a.
This time Sun Ce attacked Lujiang, and Liu Yao was worried because he knew that Wu Jing and Sun Bi were appointed by Yuan Shu, and they were Sun Ce's own people. He was worried that they would join forces with Yuan Shu and Sun Ce to annex him, so he used force to drive them away. Wu Jing and Sun Bi had no choice but to retreat to Liyang and Hexian County in Anhui Province.
