"General Chen, I'm very happy to have you here!"
Chen Wen took Chen Feng into the mansion.
Chen Feng, who had just arrived, had no intention of bragging about each other in the workplace and went straight to the point and asked: "Master Governor, the situation is urgent. Please tell me the ins and outs of why Yuan Shujun attacked Jiujiang first, so that I can make countermeasures."
"good."
Then, Chen Wen quickly and clearly told Chen Feng what happened.
Originally, Yuan Shu was not interested in Yangzhou. The reason why he attacked Jiujiang County in Yangzhou was entirely because his brother Yuan Shao sent his subordinate Zhou Anglai to become the prefect of Jiujiang, so Yuan Shu sent troops to Jiujiang.
Now, Zhou Ang was killed by Sun Jian as he wished, and half of Jiujiang County was captured. Yuan Shu thought that his Sun Jian was so powerful that he had no intention of retreating, and wanted to let Sun Jian capture Yangzhou in one go to expand his territory.
"So that's it." Chen Feng suddenly realized.
"General Chen, what should we... do now?"
"Don't worry, Governor. Sun Jian, who serves under Yuan Shu, is my uncle. Let me go and discuss with Sun Jian and let him introduce me to Yuan Shu and persuade Yuan Shu to retreat. By then, Yuzhou and Yangzhou will be reunited, and Yangzhou will be safe."
Chen Feng did not want to fight with Sun Jian, so Chen Feng decided to go to meet Yuan Shu in person, tell him the pros and cons, and persuade Yuan Shu to retreat.
"Miaoya!"
Chen Wen was overjoyed and immediately appointed Chen Feng as the governor's official (assistant officer of the governor, prime minister of a state), and asked Chen Feng to represent Yangzhou as an envoy to Yuzhou to persuade Yuan Shu.
This is also a big reason why Chen Feng came to help Chen Wen. After all, he is also the governor of Yangzhou. Help him and he will give you a promotion. As the saying goes, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.
After accepting the order, the governor Shi Chenfeng asked Zhou Tai to follow him. With only two men and two horses, they left Liyang and went to Shouchun where Sun Jian's army was stationed.

Chen Feng and Zhou Tai arrived at Sun Jun's station
"Stop! Who are you?"
Two soldiers at the door stopped Chen Feng and the others.
Chen Feng turned over and dismounted, and replied: "I am the nephew of General Sun... My nephew Chen Feng wants to meet General Sun, and I would like to invite the two brothers to go in and report."
When the two soldiers heard this, they looked at each other and one of them said, "Wait a moment."
After saying that, the soldier turned around and went in to report.
moment
"General Sun lets you in, please follow me."
"good."
Chen Feng and Chen Feng stepped into Sun Jun's camp and followed the soldiers leading the way to Sun Jian's tent...
Battle of Jiujiang County
Sun Jian defeated Zhou Ang, but Gongsun Zan's younger brother Gongsun Yue was shot to death by a stray arrow from Zhou Ang's army while helping Sun Jian's army attack Zhou Ang.
Gongsun Zan, who was far away in Qingzhou, was furious after hearing this: "My brother's death is caused by Yuan Shao."
Zhou Ang belonged to Yuan Shao, so Gongsun Zan blamed Yuan Shao for his brother's death, and used this as an excuse to send troops to attack Jizhou. Seeing that it was inevitable, Yuan Shao had no choice but to lead his troops to fight Gongsun Zan himself. The Battle of Jieqiao was about to begin...

"Uncle Sun."
Chen Feng and Sun Jian met again after the eighteen princes challenged Dong.
"Hey! Rare visitor."
After seeing Chen Feng, Sun Jian couldn't help but be filled with emotion. The last time we parted, the boy in front of him was just a small county magistrate. Now that we meet again, he is already the governor of Yangzhou and the prefect of Wu County. His official position is as good as his own.
After the two chatted for a few words, Chen Feng expressed his intention of coming: "Uncle Sun, it's like this. I came here this time to reminisce about old times, and secondly to follow the orders of Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou..."
After hearing this, Sun Jian patted Chen Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are so good at fighting, but I don't want to meet you on the battlefield. I understand. I will take you to see Yuan Shu now."
In this way, Sun Jian led Chen Feng to meet Yuan Shu.
After Yuan Shu learned of Chen Feng's intention, he asked Chen Feng: "You want me to retreat? That's easy to say. Give me a reason worth retreating."
Chen Feng pretended to sigh: "Oh~, I feel worthless for Mr. Yuan!"
Yuan Shu was puzzled: "Oh? Why is it not worth it?"
Chen Fengdao said: "Today the Han Dynasty exists in name only, and all the heroes in the world have joined together to form separate empires. There is Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Tao Qian in Xuzhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Yan in Yizhou (Liu Zhang's father has not died yet). ), and Yuzhou belonged to Duke Yuan.
Yuan Gong wanted to take Yangzhou in order to expand his strength and strengthen himself. However, Yangzhou, a land east of the Yangtze River, faces the vast sea to the east, a land of barbarians to the south, and faces the Central Plains across the river to the north. It is like chicken ribs and tasteless to eat.
I really feel that it is not worth it for Yuan Gong to waste his troops and money in Yangzhou! "
Yuan Shu asked: "In your opinion, what is the value?"
"It must belong to Jingzhou."
"Jingzhou?"
"Yes." Chen Feng nodded and continued to talk to Yuan Shu about the advantages and disadvantages of the land of Jingzhou: "Jingzhou occupies Hanmian to the north, benefits from the South China Sea, connects Wuhui to the east, and Bashu to the west. This is a military land, but its owner cannot defend it. , This is the reason why Mr. Yuan is favored. Does Mr. Yuan have any intention?
Liu Biao is not as talented as Yuan Gong, and Yuan Gong was once the governor of Nanyang. He has prestige among the people in Jingzhou. He has both good location and good people. From this point of view, is it not more suitable for Yuan Gong to take Jingzhou than Yangzhou? "
Yuan Shu nodded in agreement, and not even one of Yuan Shu's counselors spoke out against it.
Why?
Because what Chen Feng said makes sense. Jingzhou is indeed better than Yangzhou in terms of population and geographical location.
"Therefore, I ask Mr. Yuan to think twice and withdraw his troops from Yangzhou. My governor is willing to form an alliance with Mr. Yuan. In this way, one can protect Mr. Yuan's rear from worries, and two, the two states of Yuzhou and Yangzhou can be connected vertically and horizontally by the Yangtze River and serve as mutual aids. "Horn, no matter how Yuan Shao in the north sends troops and generals to intervene in the two places, it will be difficult for him to become a powerful man."
"good!"
After hearing this, Yuan Shu applauded. The more he looked at Chen Feng, the more he liked him. He laughed and praised Chen Feng:
"Having a son should be like Chen Changshi!"
Yuan Shu agreed to Chen Feng's reconciliation and alliance, ordered Sun Jian's troops to withdraw from Jiujiang County, and returned Jiujiang County to Yangzhou.
Sun Jun's Station
"Uncle Sun, you see, I am now the governor of Yangzhou and have a bright future. Why don't you resign from Yuan Shu and come and live here with me?" Chen Feng said to Sun Jian half-jokingly.
But Sun Jian said: "You kid, you are so complacent. Although Mr. Yuan has made mistakes, he has always treated me well. How can I be ungrateful and leave him?"
Sun Jian had long known that Yuan Shu was not a master of the Ming Dynasty, and there had been unpleasantness between the two, but Yuan Shu valued and helped Sun Jian all the way.
Sun Jian was an upright man, acted heroically, and would not betray Yuan Shu easily.
Chen Feng knew that Sun Jian was a good person, so he did not persuade him. Everyone has his own way. Perhaps, this should be the best destination for a generation of heroes...
