Yangzhou
Jiujiang County
Sun Jing said to Sun Ce: "General, now Chen Zhoumu has led the Xuzhou army to send troops to Yanzhou to fight against Yuan Shao, and has also transferred the troops from Jiaozhou. Now the troops in Jiaozhou and Xuzhou are empty, and the general and General Zhou Yu have 30,000 Yangzhou troops.
A real man is born between heaven and earth, why should he stay depressed for a long time? Why doesn't the general take advantage of this to cause trouble and establish his own company? "
Sun Ce heard this and said angrily: "I am a warrior from Jiangdong. I am treated as a brother by my lord. I have been sworn brothers in Taoyuan for more than ten years and have never had any doubts. My lord has entrusted me with a great responsibility. My righteousness is as heavy as a mountain. My dear husband, An Ke betrayed me." ?
A duty that lives up to one's heart is as heavy as a mountain, but loyalty is too light to care about one's own death. Jade can be broken but its whiteness cannot be changed, bamboo can be burned but its knots cannot be destroyed. I think you are my uncle, so I will let it go this time and never do it again! "
Sun Ce's righteousness can be learned from heaven and earth, and he would not betray his eldest brother Chen Feng no matter what.
………
Yanzhou
After defeating Yuan's army, Chen Feng gave up when the situation was good and led his army back to Guandu to join Cao Cao.
When Chen Feng returned to Guandu, he saw that Cao Cao and his remaining 3,000 soldiers had been beaten. They were miserable. The last time they saw Cao Cao, he was a high-spirited short fat man. Now they meet again. He is disheveled and looks worse than a beggar. Zhong Ling Chao: "Prime Minister Cao, are you okay?"
Cao Cao said: "If you survive the catastrophe, you will be blessed later."
"Prime Minister Cao was indispensable for the Battle of Guandu."
While the two were talking, Gao Shun walked up to Chen Feng and whispered to Chen Feng: "My lord, General Zhang Xiu wants to see you."
"Zhang Xiu?" Chen Feng asked, "That Zhang Xiu from Wancheng?"
"Yes."
Chen Feng was confused, so he left Cao Cao temporarily and followed Gao Shun to see Zhang Xiu.
After Zhang Xiu saw Chen Feng, he bowed his hands to Chen Feng respectfully and said, "I, Zhang Xiu, have met General Chen."

Now he follows Jia Xu's suggestion and plans to come to Xuzhou to seek refuge with Chen Feng, the herdsman. 】
"Well, I heard that General Zhang and his army arrived in time to help Prime Minister Cao defend Guandu?"
"Yes, not long ago I heard that Yuan Shao wanted to go south to attack Guandu, so I came here to help General Chen."
Zhang Xiu did not say that he was assisting Cao Cao, but corrected it as assisting General Chen, that is, Chen Feng.
"What does General Zhang mean...?"
Zhang Xiu cupped his hands and said: "A good bird chooses a tree to roost, and a wise minister chooses his master to serve. Now that the world is in chaos, I want to find a place for my men to live. If General Chen doesn't dislike it, I want to be loyal to you."
Chen Feng laughed: "Haha, it is really an honor for me, Chen Feng, that General Zhang can come! I am so happy that it is too late, so how can I dislike it? You are welcome to join."
"Zhang Xiu, meet my lord."
[Ding dong, it has been detected that Zhang Xiu’s loyalty to the host has changed. The loyalty has increased from 0 to 70. 】
In this way, Zhang Xiu led 20,000 of his men to join Chen Feng.
Along with him, there was Zhang Xiu’s military advisor—Jia Xu.
"Jia Xu, pay homage to the lord."

A native of Guzang County, Liangzhou, he was naturally intelligent and elegant in character. He had served in the Eastern Han Dynasty as Captain Pingjin, Zuo Fengyi, and Doctor Guanglu. Now he followed Zhang Xiu and surrendered to Xuzhou Mu Chen Feng. 】
Tear~!
So strong!
Until now, Chen Feng finally had the first super strategist with an intelligence of 98!
Soon, Zhao Yun led 30,000 Jiaozhou troops to Guandu and met Chen Feng.
At this point, Chen Feng's troops in Guandu were as many as 87,000! (Chen Feng’s original 37,000 troops were added to Zhang Xiu’s 20,000 troops and Zhao Yun’s 30,000 Jiaozhou Army.)
[Ding dong, it was detected that the host participated in and completed the major event in the late Eastern Han Dynasty [Battle of Guandu], and achieved the hidden achievement "Who is Cao Cao?" 』. 】
[Rewards obtained: Monarch Charm +10 (the current host’s total monarch charisma is 85), "Heavy and sophisticated catapult" x 1000, "Heavy and sophisticated siege ladder" x 1000, "Heavy and sophisticated four-wheeled ballistae" . 】
[Ding dong, the main mission [Unify the North] is unlocked. Mission content: Ask the host to take advantage of the victory and send troops to Jizhou, defeat Yuan Shao, occupy the four states of Ji, Bing, Qing, and You, and unify the north. 】
She's here, she's here, she's here with the main mission!
Chen Feng decisively ordered:
"Send the order!
Zhao Yun, the general who conquered the north, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and Jia Xu was appointed as the chief military advisor of the three armies. They led a total of 30,000 Jiaozhou troops as the central army;
Jianzhong General Zhang Xiu led 20,000 people on the left wing, and Yueqi General Zhang Liao led 20,000 people on the right wing. They immediately marched to Yecheng in Jizhou to attack the rebel Yuan Shao! "
"promise!"
The Battle of Guandu is over, but the war in the north has just begun.
Following Chen Feng's order, three first-class generals, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Liao, led a total of 70,000 troops, entered Jizhou in a mighty manner, and marched directly to Yecheng, where Yuan Shao was located. (At the same time, Chen Feng also handed over the three thousand siege weapons just given by the system to Zhao Yun.)
Chen Feng, on the other hand, led the remaining 17,000 Xuzhou troops to stay in Guandu and was responsible for ensuring the army's logistics and food supplies.
As for Cao Cao...
The relationship between Cao Cao and Chen is still there, but now Cao Cao has been beaten and only has 3,000 remnant soldiers left, and he will have nothing to do in the subsequent war.
So Cao Cao wisely lent Guandu to Chen Feng and retreated to the rear to cultivate himself and rest.
Will Cao Cao stab him in the back? Chen Feng was not worried at all.
Chen Feng thought to himself: He has 70,000 troops on the front line now, 17,000 people stay in Guandu, and Lu Bu's 10,000 people from Qingzhou next to Yanzhou can come at any time. Just ask Cao Cao, is he touched?
Yes, Cao Cao was not moved. Even though his counselors such as Guo Jiaxunyu wanted to backstab Chen Feng and did not want Chen Feng to dominate, their lord Cao Cao no longer had this strength and could only give up temporarily.
At least in a short period of time, Cao Cao couldn't make trouble.
Jizhou
Yecheng prison cell
After Yuan Shao was defeated in Guandu, the prisoner who imprisoned Tian Feng said to Tian Feng: "Sir, my lord failed because he did not listen to your suggestion. I believe that my lord will admire you and use you again."
Tian Feng sighed after hearing this: "Mr. Yuan is generous on the surface but jealous in his heart. He doesn't believe in my loyalty. In addition, I have offended him many times by telling the truth.
If I win, he may be happy and forgive me, but now that I have lost the battle, I am resentful and jealous, and I will not survive~"
The fact is, just as Tian Feng said, after Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng after defeat, he suspected that Tian Feng would laugh at him. In addition, Feng Ji and others who were at odds with Tian Feng added fuel to the fire by saying that Tian Feng clapped his hands and laughed happily after hearing that Yuan Shao was defeated.
In the end, Yuan Shao ordered Tian Feng to be executed, and a generation of loyal ministers died unjustly.
Yuan Shao was virtuous but not talented, and did not know how to appoint talents and make use of their talents. Each of his advisers and generals had their own small circles, fighting each other openly and secretly, and could not work together.
The counties in Jizhou began to rebel on a large scale. Before Yuan Shao had time to put down the rebellion, Zhao Yun's 70,000 troops came to Yecheng. For a while, Jizhou was plagued by internal and external troubles...
