In the blink of an eye, a few days later.

Yuzhang County, outside Nanchang City.

At this moment, Hua Xin was dressed in brocade clothes, holding the seal of the prefect high, and personally brought all the civil and military officials in the city to several miles outside the city to greet Chu Feng.

After waiting for more than an hour, Chu Feng finally arrived with his army.

Then, there was a series of handovers. In short, Yuzhang came into his hands for no reason, and it only took a few days.

This also made Chu Feng extremely confused. It seemed that he still underestimated what the Yuan family represented. The feeling that his disciples and former officials were all over the world was no joke.

Even Hua Xin himself had served under his father before, but his father failed to live up to expectations, so he turned to him.

When Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, it took eight years to completely eradicate the Yuan family. On the contrary, if Yuan Shao defeated Cao Cao, it would not even take eight months, and Cao Cao's rule would have surrendered!

However, even if Yuan Shao defeats Guandu, it is unlikely that he will take over the world. After all, there is obvious competition between his sons and heirs. The more powerful he is, the more chaos he will have.

There was no other way. Liu Bei probably did the best in the dispute over the heirs. He directly executed Liu Feng and made Liu Chan the crown prince. Although Liu Chan didn't have much ability, it was good that he didn't cause trouble!!!

After a while, he was in the general's mansion.

Zhao Fan, Chen Ji, Gan Ning, Wen Chen, Hua Xin and some unknown minions, but these people are from the main surrender faction, and I have to give them official positions and titles.

He himself is a member of the Yuan family. If the world knows that surrendering to the Yuan family will not only lead to nothing but promotion, the resistance will be much weaker next time.

Then, Chu Feng discussed his merits and rewarded them.

Piao Huaxin was appointed as the governor of Yuzhang, and the other subordinates also promoted themselves to higher positions. Of course, he didn't have anything substantial, and if he did, he wouldn't give it to them.

After doing this, Hua Xin took the initiative and said: "My lord, although Yuzhang has been settled, Sun Ce in Jiangdong has already defeated the ancestors of Danyang. If he knows about it, he may take advantage of the situation and move westward."

"Danyang is located all the way from Yuzhang with steep mountains. Even if he were stupid, he would not cross the mountains and ridges from land. If he wanted to conquer Yuzhang, he could only do so by water."

Chu Feng said firmly.

He has been marching in the past few days and it is very clear that the roads in Yuzhang are really rubbish, and the current Jiangnan is indeed not suitable for living. There are large areas of barren mountains and wild ridges, and this is still inside Yuzhang.

If you come from outside, it would be an exaggeration to say that you are trekking through mountains and rivers.

Only by water can both soldiers and baggage be delivered easily.

Speaking of this, Chu Feng said in a deep voice: "Hua Xin listens to the order and asks you to use the people of this county to build a water fortress for me in Chaisang. It will be said to the outside world that it is used for business with Jingzhou."

"In addition, a shipyard needs to be built at Pengze Port for manufacturing warships and docking ships."

Hua Xin raised his eyebrows. Is the Lord embanking Jingzhou? At the same time, he is also preparing to lay out the Yangtze River? He seems to have some foresight, much better than his father.

"No!" Hua Xin nodded.

"Gan Ning listens to the order and makes you the commander of the navy. He will lead his troops and horses to come to me by boat to curb the development of all the docks in Jiangdong. Once discovered, they will be destroyed!"

Chu Feng looked at Gan Ning and said in a deep voice.

He knew that the Jiangdong warship sector had not yet been fully developed at the moment, and the reason why he was anxious to borrow the ship was to destroy the foundation of Soochow first.

"No!" Gan Ning nodded excitedly.

As expected, Chu Feng did not lie to him since he was in charge of the navy.

"Lord, I only have 800 soldiers and horses. I'm afraid it will be difficult to check and balance the Yangtze River, which is thousands of miles away. Can you..." Gan Ning then said in a dilemma.

Eight hundred soldiers and horses completely restricted his performance!

"You are allowed to expand your army to five thousand, and Hua Xin will recruit troops for you. However, Yuzhang has a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. You still need to find a way on your own. I have enough control over military supplies!"

Chu Feng said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, my lord, this Yangtze River belongs to my lord from now on!" Gan Ning clasped his fists and shouted excitedly. He had wasted half his life with no one taking advantage of him. Unexpectedly...

"Chen Ji, I want you to lead the army to station in Nanchang, focus on repairing the city wall, quell the rebellion in Shanyue, recruit mountain people, and reclaim wasteland." Chu Feng looked at Chen Ji and said solemnly.

"No!" Chen Ji nodded.

"Okay, Hua Xin, go and show me the list of all the registered residents of Yuzhang County. I'll be here for the next few days."

Chu Feng said slowly.

He controls Yuzhang, mainly to control the Yangtze River. From the west, he can march into Jingzhou, and down the river, he can capture Jiangdong. As for Yuzhang itself,

It can only be said that it is a territory that can support some military rations.

"No!" Hua Xin nodded.

...

In the second year of Jian'an, it was mid-September.

At this moment, on the river outside Niuzhu Water Village.

Sun Ce held his sword and rode in the boat. Huang Gai came back depressed and said: "My lord, Chu Feng is still silent. No matter how much he scolds, he is indifferent."

"Haha, you are a cowardless person. I will say that his reputation is in vain. I have thousands of troops in Niuzhu, but he doesn't even have the courage to leave the stronghold for confrontation."

Sun Ce sneered and looked down on Chu Feng even more.

After all, according to the number of Chu Feng's camps, he has at least tens of thousands of troops on the river bank.

"Lord, you might as well let me lead my troops ashore to explore the truth!" Huang Gai clasped his fists, he had long been impatient.

"No, attacking halfway across is the most taboo thing for military strategists. Even if Chu Feng is stupid, he still knows it, so he just sends people to challenge it day and night."

"We just have to wait until Gongjin takes full control of Danyang. Then he will be dumbfounded!" Sun Ce raised his hand. After all, Niuzhu only had thousands of people crossing the river.

If it fails, Niuzhu will lose it.

"My lord, General Zhou came to the water village in person and said that he has important matters to discuss with my lord." Just when Sun Ce was proud, he saw a small boat approaching and shouted.

"Is Gongjin here?"

Sun Ce was surprised, then smiled and said: "Danyang must have won it, let's go back to the stronghold."

After a while, we were at Niuzhu Water Village.

Sun Ce saw Zhou Yu waiting there, and immediately laughed and said: "Gong Jin, why are you here, but you captured Taishi Ci?"

"Lord, Yuzhang is gone!"

Zhou Yu said solemnly with a calm face.

"What did you say? The Yuzhang is gone? Liu Biao sent troops?" Sun Ce was instantly angry. This Yuzhang could be said to be in his palm, how could it be gone?

"My lord, he is not Liu Biao, but Chu Feng. He went to Jingzhou to borrow a boat and went straight to Yuzhang. When I learned the news, Liu Yao had already died of anger, and Hua Xin of Yuzhang surrendered to Yuzhang County."

Zhou Yu hated it. Danyang was about to be captured. Naturally, Yuzhang didn't dare to hold on for long, but Chu Feng actually picked the peach halfway. It's hateful!

"What? Chu Feng took it? Then who is on the other side of the river?" Sun Ce was furious, pointing to the other side and shouting.

"When he attacked in the east and attacked in the west, he sent troops to Niuzhu with great fanfare just to force you, my lord, to return to defense, and his target was Yuzhang from the beginning.

He even made a special detour to Nanyang to enter Jingzhou in order to avoid our army's detection. Chu Feng, the little thief, is so treacherous!" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, he actually didn't see through it the first time.

He was indeed curious at the time, but he didn't guess it.

The key point was how could Liu Biao lend him a boat? This was what he couldn't understand the most.

"You little thief Chu Feng, how dare you play tricks on me?"

Sun Ce's iron fist was clenched angrily, making a crunching sound.

"Lord, when the top priority is not to worry about this, Chu Feng can build shipyards in Chaisang Dongting and other places after taking Yuzhang, and then destroy our Jiangdong Shipbuilding Industry along the river."

"At that time, there will be no ships available in the east of the Yangtze River, and we will inevitably be trapped in the corner of the south of the Yangtze River. How can we talk about trying to conquer the world?" Zhou Yu frowned, he knew Chu Feng's purpose clearly.

"What do you want?" Sun Ce asked.

"Culture Niuzhu openly and seize Yuzhang secretly." Zhou Yu solemnly said: "Yuzhang must be captured. Without Yuzhang, the lord will miss Jingzhou. Without Yuzhang, the lord will not have the right to cross the river."

"I want my lord to also attack from the east to the west. On the surface, he will assemble a large number of troops with Niu Zhu and make a show of fighting to the death. The other side will send people by land and water to attack Yuzhang."

"While Chu Feng's foothold is not stable, break it in one fell swoop!" Zhou Yu said loudly, there was no way, Yuzhang was too important to Sun Ce.

"Okay, I have long wanted to have a showdown with Chu Feng. I want to see how much water he has, as people say he is capable of defeating hundreds of people, and how many moves he can pull off under my hands."

Sun Ce clenched his five fingers angrily and shouted.

"My lord, this battle is not just for us, we also need to let Cao Cao fight it. Shouchun controls the north and south. This time Chu Feng has borrowed warships and can use the Huai River to reach all parts of Yuzhou. How can Cao Cao not be worried?"

"My lord, you can write a letter to Cao Cao, saying that Chu Feng has borrowed thousands of warships in Jingzhou and is preparing to launch a large fleet in the waters of Shaopo to attack the Central Plains."

"When the time comes, when Sun and Cao join forces, will he defend Shouchun or Yuzhang?" Zhou Yu raised a sinister smile on his lips.

Obviously, he wanted to use Cao Cao's help to contain Chu Feng.

"Haha, Gong Jin's clever plan, I will send a letter to Cao Cao right away." Sun Ce laughed loudly. With this move, he could not only win the Yu Zhang, but also use Cao Cao's hand to weaken Chu Feng.

Kill two birds with one stone!
