After learning that Zhao Yunjun had captured Changsha County in Jingzhou, Chen Feng used system testing to select several more loyal civil servants from Jiujiang University to take office in Changsha.
At the same time, Huang Gai, the partial general who stayed in Yangzhou, trained 3,000 new recruits to serve as soldiers in Changsha County, and asked Yangzhou Governor Shi Zhangzhao to organize a group of Yangzhou people to move to Changsha.
The purpose is very clear, which is to completely integrate Changsha's territory into Yangzhou.
As for Zhao Yun, after taking Changsha, he wanted to immediately go north to Jiangxia to help Sun Ce attack Huang Zu.
At this time, Pang Tong said: "General Sun is well-known in Jiangdong, and his soldiers work together to capture Jiangxia. It is only a matter of time before Huang Quan's army and General Zhang Liao's army are fighting in Guiyang. Huang Quan's Yizhou army is not fighting in the local area, and their morale must be strong." No, general, why don't you first help General Zhang Liao defeat Huang Quan and recover the three counties of Jingnan, and then go north together to assist General Sun?"
So Zhao Yun followed Pang Tong's suggestion to go to Jingnan first and then to Jingbei, leaving Zhu Zhi, the general of the Dian army, to lead 5,000 men to defend Changsha, while he took Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and other 10,000 people south to Guiyang County. Prepare to join forces with Zhang Liao to attack Huang Quan's army who is fighting away...

Let's talk about Yuan Shao's condition of vomiting blood that has been recurring since his defeat in the last battle of Guandu. He has been holding on until now, and finally he can't hold it anymore. The hero in the past who was holding a sharp sword and pointing it at the national traitor Dong Zhuo slowly came to Yecheng. The curtain came to an end, and he forever withdrew from the stage of fighting for world hegemony.
Because Yuan Shao always practiced good governance and was respected and loved by the people in the north, after his death, the people in the three states of Hebei shed many tears and felt sorry for him.
(Although Yuan Shao had great ambitions but little wisdom, he did practice virtuous government and won the hearts of the people with his generosity. However, no one is a sage and he will always make mistakes. It’s just that the price of this mistake is relatively high.)
Yuan Shao died in a hurry, and it was not confirmed which son was the heir. In view of the fact that in ancient times, direct descendants were established, and his tribe felt that Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan should be the heir.
However, Fengji and Shenpei disgusted Yuan Tan because they were always proud and extravagant, and their relationship with Yuan Tan was not good. Xin Ping and Guo Tu were close to Yuan Tan but had conflicts with Feng Ji and Shen Pei.
So the Yuan Shang Group, the third son of Yuan Shao, headed by Feng Ji, Shen Pei and others, and the Yuan Tan Group, the eldest son of Yuan Shao, headed by Xin Ping, Guo Tu and others, began to compete for the position of heir.
As the saying goes, the more close you are by blood, the harder the fight will be.
Jizhou, which originally belonged to Yuan Shao, was divided into two. The four counties of Zhongshan, Changshan, Julu, and Wei to the west of Jizhou were occupied by the Yuan Shang Group. (At this time, Liu Guanzhang was also classified as Yuan Shang Group.)
The four counties of Qinghe, Anping, Hejian and Bohai to the east of Jizhou are owned by Yuan Tan Group.
Yuan Xi, the second son of Yuan Shao in Youzhou, and Gao Gan, nephew of Yuan Shao in Bingzhou, thought they were all members of the same family, so they planned to break up the fight, but the more they tried to persuade them, the more they became angry, so they ignored it and chose to ignore it.

After seeing the internal fighting between Yuan Shao's two sons in the north to a certain extent, Zhuge Liang immediately proposed to Lu Bu to send troops, and Lu Bu agreed. This was a great opportunity to defeat the enemy.
Zhuge Liang then summoned the generals in the northern theater and waved the white feather fan in his hand:
"Send the order to send troops to the Northern Expedition!"
Xu and Qing prefectures began mobilizing instantly. At this time, the northern theater had a total of 40,000 veterans and 20,000 recruits.
Zhuge Liang asked General Cheng Pu on the left and General Zang Ba on the right to each lead 10,000 new troops to stay in Xu and Qing prefectures. (Lü Bu was the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Theater Command, but Chen Feng sent a message asking him to listen to Zhuge Liang's advice, so the overall military commander of the Northern Theater Command was actually Zhuge Liang.)
Then Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu led 20,000 soldiers together to send troops from Qingzhou to attack Jizhou and Bohai.
Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu led 20,000 soldiers together to send troops from Qingzhou to attack Qinghe in Jizhou.
In the rear, Chen Gong, Chen Deng and others organized the militiamen of Xu and Qing prefectures to be responsible for the logistics and food transportation of the three armies.
Cao Cao in Yanzhou nearby did not send troops to respond to the army of his ally Chen Feng, because his Chongzhou had already begun to be in chaos after Ma Teng, Han Zhu and other Liangzhou troops joined...

Sun Cejun and Huang Zujun began their second confrontation.
Zhou Yu ordered Lieutenant Ling Tong of the Bandit School and Lieutenant Dong Xi of Weiyue School to lead a thousand Tangjia sword soldiers left by Chen Feng as the vanguard. They took a large ship and held shields above their heads, braving the stones and torches thrown by Huang Zujun soldiers on the cliff. charge.
Finally successfully passing through Huang Zujun's defense line, Ling Tong and Dong Xi led the remaining 800 Tangjia swordsmen to bravely charge into the enemy Deng Long's two Mengchong ships. Three thousand, they defeated Deng Long's navy and killed the enemy general Deng Long in close combat.
The victories of Ling Tong and Dong Xi greatly boosted Sun Cejun's fighting spirit.
Sun Ce immediately ordered to charge into the formation and led his army to attack the mouth of the river with overwhelming force. During this period, three young generals in Sun Ce's army, Xu Sheng, Lu Meng, and Pan Zhang, first showed their talents in this battle.
Huang Zu was defeated and led his army to flee the river mouth and defeat Qichun in Jiangxia.
Xu Sheng, the junior captain in Sun Ce's army, took out the jug he carried with him and took a sip of wine. He held two ancient ingot knives and led a hundred people to pursue Huang Zu's defeated army, killing and slashing all the way. With a force of 200 men, they killed more than a thousand of Huang Zu's troops, and even almost killed Huang Zu in the process.
Huang Zu was also very lucky. Fortunately, his subordinate Jinfan Captain Gan Ning led a hundred people to resist Xu Sheng and others, and he was able to save his life.
Facing Gan Ning who suddenly appeared, Xu Sheng exchanged blows with him and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Gan Ning, Gan Xingba!"
"Dang Dang Dang~"
In the blink of an eye, Gan Ning was holding a dark silver ring sword, and Xu Sheng, who was using an ancient ingot sword, fought again and again, with neither victory nor defeat.
In the end, Gan Ning forced Xu Sheng to hold back, creating time for Huang Zu to escape. Huang Zu successfully escaped into Qichun City with his remaining troops, and reorganized the defeated soldiers to defend the city.
Then, Sun Ce led his army to approach Qichun, and saw Xu Sheng and Gan Ning fighting at the same time. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu couldn't help but admire their martial arts.
"My general's army has arrived, why don't you take your people and surrender quickly?" Xu Sheng said to Gan Ning.
Gan Ning frowned when he heard this. Since he defected to Huang Zu, he had not been reused. He had already wanted to leave. Facing Xu Sheng's question, he thought for a moment and replied: "Can you guarantee that my brothers will leave?" Is our safety in danger?”
Xu Sheng laughed: "Haha, my general is famous in Jiangdong, how can he be a narrow-minded person?"
Therefore, Gan Ning no longer resisted and led a hundred of his men to surrender to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was overjoyed and accepted Gan Ning's surrender, and appointed him as Captain Jinfan. Xu Sheng, who had made great achievements this time, was also promoted by Sun Ce to General Jianwei Zhonglang.
Subsequently, Sun Ce ordered the army to attack Qichun City...
