[Day 55] The Army Pledged for the Imperial Seal

1. Sun Ce pledges his father's heirloom, the national seal, to Yuan Shu and borrows three thousand soldiers and five hundred horses to set out for Gangdong. This is the 55th installment of the popular retelling of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
2. In Suchun, Ju Chi and Yeo Beom offered a plan; Sun Ce used order and pressed Yuan Shu, reaching an agreement with him, even though Yuan Shu had already broken his promise regarding the prefectures of Jiujiang and Lujiang.
3. The historical records mention only the borrowing of troops and the river crossing; the pledge of the seal is the commentator's interpretation, and the borrowing of troops against the seal is the retelling author's reconstruction.
