Sun Ce was killed by an assassin. Who's behind this?

Say the answer first, Sun Ce was assassinated by an assassin, and the murderer behind this incident was Guo Jia.

Let's take a look at the assassination of Sun Ce. Sun Ce, who was waiting for commissary, had nothing to do but lead Han Dang and Huang Gai to hunt in the mountains. Sun Ce's horses are better and run faster, leaving all the generals behind. At this time, three people appeared from the grass by the roadside, holding crossbows to stop Sun Ce. Sun Ce asked who they were, and three people said they were the ranks of the Han Party. But Sun Ce found that the three men had never met before, so he became wary, so he shot one man with a bow and arrow, and the other two also shot Sun Ce with a crossbow. Sun Ce dodged and was hit in the cheek. He died after returning to the camp.

To know that it is not an easy task to assassinate Sun Ce, it is essential to master accurate information first, to know Sun Ce's movements in time, and to find the best time to assassinate him. Secondly, we need to hire excellent assassins, provide good horses and high-quality crossbows. The whole assassination process is planned, contacted and scouted by far more than three people. All these require huge financial and material resources to complete.

Let's look at Sun Ce's death. Who is the biggest beneficiary? Although there was a scuffle between the governors at that time, many people certainly wanted Sun Ce to die, but Cao Cao was the one who wanted Sun Ce to die the most. The year 200 is an extremely important year for Cao Cao, because he has been preparing for the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, that is, the battle of Guandu that year. At this time, Sun Ce ran behind him, eyeing the Central Plains in the north of the Yangtze River.

At this time, Cao Cao's strength is weaker than Yuan Shao's, so it is very difficult to deal with Yuan Shao, and there is no other experience in dealing with Sun Ce. If Sun Ce dies suddenly at this time, he can go all out to deal with Yuan Shao, so Cao Cao is the most motivated person to kill Sun Ce at this time.

And it was Guo Jia who helped Cao Cao plan all this. When Cao Cao was discussing how to deal with Sun Ce, Guo Jia personally told Cao Cao that Sun Ce was reckless and unguarded, and was easily killed by assassins. Shortly after that, Sun Ce was assassinated by an assassin. Hard to avoid a bit amazing, Guo Jia said, Cao Cao really believed it. Why did Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, believe this fortune-telling prophecy? The reason is that Guo Jia is already planning how to kill Sun Ce.

So, to sum up, the real killer of Sun Ce is Guo Jia.
