At dawn, there was no sound of fighting in Wu County.

This transition between the old and new regimes seemed too dull, probably because the garrison in Wuxian County was limited.

Or maybe no one could have imagined this attack, because Chu Feng's sudden attack directly caused Wu County to collapse. This is also related to the internal factors that already existed in Wu County.

Just like the later generation Deng Ai, who crossed mountains and ridges to sneak 700 miles, arrived at the city, and the defender surrendered directly, not to mention Chu Feng's prominent status.

As for the city, the guard Zhu Zhi saw that he could not commit suicide and died. The general Song Qian died tragically under Zhao Fan's gun, and all the generals in the army died.

At the same time, Chu Feng immediately sent people to control the relatives of the military household. If these people were controlled, Sun Ce's army would inevitably collapse.

At dawn, Chu Feng's pupils turned red.

He hadn't closed his eyes all night and was feeling sleepy at the moment.

Liu Ye strode over and said excitedly: "My lord, the entire Wu County has been cleared. I have also sent letters to Yuhang and other places to indicate the surrender, in order to determine the possibility of Sun Ce returning to surrender."

"In this way, notify Xu Kun and ask him to assist Zhao Fan in going south to pacify the counties and remotely control Kuaiji. This will definitely eliminate the possibility of Sun Ce escaping south!"

Chu Feng acted resolutely and sent troops directly.

"promise!"

"My Lord, the inventory of the city's treasury has also been completed. There are 230 million in money, more than 200,000 grains, and countless other antiques, calligraphy and paintings."

Liu Ye said happily.

"That's it?" Chu Feng frowned. Sun Ce was really poor. He was a prince. Sun Ce probably used it to reward his subordinates.

"In this way, half of the money will be allocated to the soldiers who are fighting bravely in this battle and the generals of various departments! In addition, half of the food will be used for disaster relief."

Chu Feng thought for a while and said immediately.

Only by giving the soldiers under his command a sweet spot can they be more courageous and take the lead next time. By the way, they can use Sun's family fortune to win over the local people's hearts.

After all, the reputation of two generations of the Sun family has been here, and he must find a way to eliminate it.

"My lord is wise!" Liu Ye said with emotion.

"Oh, by the way, my lord, the four major families in the city, including the Inland family, the Zhang family, the Gu family, and the Zhu family [Zhu Zhi is not the Jiangdong Zhu family], have all sent people to express their goodwill."

Hearing this, Chu Feng felt a little headache.

Because Sun Ce relied heavily on the Jianghuai faction when he was in power, these four major families were all useless and were suppressed by force. Maybe Sun Ce knew that,

If he wants to expand, he can't use them for the time being, because using them means delegating power to them and exchanging benefits. How can the four major families be enterprising after taking power?

In later generations, Soochow was a bureaucracy. It was a thing controlled by aristocratic families. How could it have combat effectiveness? How could it have the ambition to strive for hegemony?

Sun Ce was on the verge of death, and knowing that Soochow had no ability to expand abroad for a short time, he adopted a policy of being gentle and delegating power. It can be said that all the four major families began to serve the Sun family after Sun Ce's death.

"Zi Yang, the four major families in Jiangdong are not good at making trouble. If you use them well, it's fine. If you don't use them well, you may suffer from them." Chu Feng said with emotion.

"My lord, Wu County, the place where Shouchun fought four battles, is the foundation for the future. Since it is the foundation, it must be used. However, Ye thinks that the four major families can control the government but not the army."

"Factional checks and balances are the way to balance!"

Liu Ye said very straightforwardly, mainly because he knew that it was impossible for Chu Feng to not understand this, and he was just testing himself.

Chu Feng pondered for a moment and made a decision in his heart. He was different from the Sun family. The Sun family was afraid that it would not be able to suppress the four major families, but why should he, the Yuan family, be afraid?

However, you still have to be on guard against these local snakes.

Of course, this local snake is not without its merits. The Zhu family are all good at fighting and are the first to be the generals. Lu Yi of the Lu family is the leader and one of the four great governors in later generations.

He is a generation of handsome talents, not weaker than Zhou Gongjin.

Gu Yong of the Gu family is a talented person who has helped the world. It is estimated that Zhang Yun, Zhang Wen and his son of the Zhang family have no sense of existence. The family is indeed the cradle of cultivating talents.

This is also the basis for ruling the world with aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty.

"Now that they have come, let them be safe. Now that Cao Cao is attacking me in Shouchun, Sun Ce has not yet killed me, so Wu County cannot afford to lose anything. In this way, in order to show the Lu family's deliberation, Zhu Huan of the Zhu family will be the Cavalry Commander."

"I will represent the Gu family, Gu Yong, as the long history, and represent Zhang Yun as the commander-in-chief of Wu County!" Chu Feng made a decisive decision. The benefits of delegating power to the four major families outweigh the disadvantages!

Liu Ye rolled his eyes and immediately agreed, sighing in his heart. Sun Ce used the Jianghuai sect, so why not Chu Feng? There will probably be a lot of bloodshed in the future.

"Oh, by the way, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and other civil servants submitted a letter to resign."

"These old guys have finally learned how to behave in the world." Chu Feng curled his lips and muttered, "I agree to their resignation, and I will send someone to give them some good wine!"

These are all talents.

"No!" Liu Ye nodded.

"Lord, now that Wu County has been captured, we are ready to rush to Shouchun's aid." Liu Ye couldn't help but remind him.

"Well, I have my own plans in mind."

Chu Feng nodded. Cao Cao knew that Wu County had been captured by him, so he should rush to attack the city. He must do it as soon as possible, but before that, he must kill Sun Ce.

Sun Ce must not be allowed to resurrect.

————

In the third year of Jian'an, it was the sixth month of summer.

Chu Feng deceived others and attacked Wu County. On the first day, he broke into the city and killed numerous people in the Sun clan. Mrs. Wu committed suicide and Sun Yi died in battle.

They even sent people south, and Yuhang and other places waited for the wind to come.

The Sun family's foundation was destroyed and suffered an unprecedented disaster.

the other side,

The city of Piling is on the verge of collapse at this moment.

There were only three thousand defenders in the city, and they were not elite. Now they were attacked continuously by Sun Ce's army, and the defenders were already exhausted.

Looking at the soldiers who kept climbing up the city, Sun Ce's handsome face showed a smile. He was just one step away from conquering Piling.

In Sun Ce's view, without Chu Feng, the Chu army was no different than it was under Yuan Shu's command. It was still a ragtag group of people, vulnerable to a single attack.

"Gong Jin, it seems that we will be drinking and having fun in Piling in a few days. I wonder how Chu Feng will feel when he sends Liang Gang's head to Shouchun!"

Sun Ce laughed loudly, feeling a little proud.

"Haha," Zhou Yu chuckled.

"Lord, take Piling and recapture Dantu. Let's surround Chu Feng with Cao Cao." Cheng Pu said in a deep voice.

He was worried that Chu Feng would make a comeback. This person was indeed too powerful. It would be great if he could be annihilated in one fell swoop.

Zhou Yu sighed, "We can just take back Wu Commandery, Danyang and other places. As for killing Chu Feng, I'm afraid Cao Cao has no such plan."

Sun Ce frowned, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Hmph, Cao Cao is just using us to contain Chu Feng, but Chu Feng is a little thief, I will definitely kill him if we meet him another day."

But at this moment, a fast horse galloped in the distance.

"My lord, something has happened. Wu County, Wu County has been captured by Chu Feng!" Qi Qiu turned over and dismounted and shouted urgently.

"What did you say? Wu County was occupied by Chu Feng? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Chu Feng is on his way back to aid Shouchun at the moment, how could he be in Wu County!"

Sun Ce waved his hands, his face full of disbelief.

When he arrived next to him, Zhou Yu's expression tightened, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, as if he had thought of something.

"Lord, I've fallen into a trap."

"Chu Feng clearly wanted to return to the army, but in fact he took a detour to Wu County. That night, the Xu family defected and Wu County was already lost." The cavalry rushed to the lake road.
Chapter completed!
