Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 33 The Trip to Guangling
Zhu Wei looked at the changes of these more than a hundred soldiers, and felt relieved about Pang Yan's ability to command troops.

But Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan, who were with Zhu Wei, also had a feeling of admiration for Pang Yan. Originally, they still had some doubts about Pang Yan's ability to command troops.

At the beginning when Zhu Wei asked Pang Yan to command these soldiers, Mulan was still a little bit dissatisfied, thinking that she could also take back these soldiers, but now she saw Pang Yan's tactics, but felt that she was really inferior to Pang Yan.

It's just that Mu Lan looked at Pang Yan's commanding soldiers with a little jealousy. Although there are only more than 100 soldiers now, there are soldiers to lead after all.

Mulan was also instilled in the dream with the art of war and tactics by the system, and improved his land finger and water finger abilities to a certain extent. Naturally, he also hoped that he could have soldiers to practice.

Regarding this, Zhu Wei could only say helplessly that at that time, Wang's two hundred private soldiers could be led by her, so that Mulan reluctantly accepted.

Zhu Wei and others took more than a hundred soldiers to replace Liu Yao's military uniform, hid the leather armor in civilian clothes, took a boat at Niuzhu, and went down the river to the north bank of Guangling County to land.

At this time, Guangling was still under Tao Qian's rule in Xuzhou. Since Zhao Yu, the original governor of Guangling, was killed by Ruo Rong, Tao Qian sent Chen Gui and Chen Dengyao from the Chen family of Guangling to lead Guangling.

However, now that Tao Qian is seriously ill, Xuzhou is already under the actual control of Liu Bei. Under the oppression of Cao Cao, many civil and military officials in Xuzhou also belong to Liu Bei and sit in Xuzhou to resist the threats of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.

And Liu Bei led the army to station in Xiapi, which can be regarded as resisting the forefront of Xuzhou's connection with Yuan Shu in Huainan, so Guangling's side can be regarded as stable for the time being.

Even Liu Yao did not prepare many troops for defense on the bank of the Yangtze River next to Guangling. If Yuan Shu wanted to mobilize troops to cross the river from Guangling, he would first invade the territory of Xuzhou, and then attack Danyang where Liu Yao was and where Xu Gong was. Wu County.

This is not something that can be done casually, it is tantamount to forcing Xuzhou Tao Qian and Danyang Liu Yao to unite.

It's just that after Ruo Rong killed Zhao Yu before, it was considered to have destroyed Guangling's official system, and engulfed many people in Guangling County to cross the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, today's Guangling County is actually anarchic. The powerful do their own thing.

On the contrary, relying on the gentry status of Chen Gui and Chen Deng, the gentry and powerful families in Guangling can bow their heads and ears, and they can still send some taxes, money and food to Xuzhou.

Therefore, Tao Qian's handing over Guang Ling to Chen Gui and Chen Deng was a helpless move. He couldn't just leave Guang Ling alone.

It's just that the city where Guangling County is located is equivalent to an empty city in the game.

In any case, after Zhu Wei and his group landed at a ferry in Guangling, although they were also paid attention to by the nobles and powerful forces in Guangling who controlled the ferry, they did not receive too much interrogation.

The forces in this place are not real official forces after all, so as long as their interests are not involved, they will naturally not interfere.

Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan's servants and private soldiers of the Wang family who stayed in Guangling stayed in Guangling City near the Yangtze River.

When Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan left before, although they left in a hurry, they also left a letter explaining that if there were no accidents, these servants and private soldiers of the Wang family should have stayed in the city.

So Zhu Wei and his party went straight to Guangling City.

However, after arriving at Guangling City, Zhu Wei found that the population here was very depressed, the city was dilapidated, and there were hardly many people walking on the inner streets.

Apparently after Zuo Rong made trouble, most of the households in Guangling City were driven away, while the population of the surrounding counties and villages was taken advantage of by the local nobles and powerful people.

Today, the population remaining in this prefecture and county city is not even 2, and basically they all belong to the rich clans in the city.

Seeing more than a hundred people brought by Zhu Wei coming, the city guards who were originally organized by the big clans in the city, knew that they were from the Wang family, so they allowed Zhu Wei and others to enter the city.

Then, under the guidance of Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan, they arrived at a chariot and horse inn in the city, where they found Wang's private soldiers, servants and stewards.

The Wang family's private soldiers and servants who stayed in Guangling did not cause trouble and left under the restraint of the accompanying stewards and deacons.

It's just that the stewards and deacons who led the team were like ants on a pot, a little restless.

On the one hand, they sent people to look for Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan, and on the other hand, they also sent people to report to Wang's family in the East China Sea and Wang Lang's office in Kuaiji.

But the journey was long, and no news had been sent back from both sides. Wang Yuyan and Mulan could not be found for a while, and these people didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, these people finally knew Wang Yuyan's intelligence and Mulan's ability, so they were not worried about any accidents between the two of them, but they really couldn't bear the responsibility.

Now that Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan have finally returned, the old steward who is the head of these people looks at the two heroines with an extremely aggrieved expression.

But Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan were the masters after all, and the old steward didn't want to say much, but it was a little strange to see Zhu Wei, Pang Yan and the more than 100 soldiers they brought.

Wang Yuyan did not disclose Zhu Wei's identity, but only said that Zhu Wei was a descendant of the Zhu family in Kuaiji and a good friend she made during this trip, and the soldiers brought by Zhu Wei were naturally Zhu's private soldiers.

In this way, the housekeepers and deacons of the Wang family looked at Zhu Wei strangely, and their own lady and Miss Biao disappeared suddenly, and when they came back, they came back with some Zhu Wei from the Zhu family.

Then these three people are together these days, what kind of thing is this?

But this thought was only in their hearts, and they hurriedly sent a letter to the master's family to inform the matter in private, it seemed that the young lady's marriage was about to be finalized.

Of course, now Zhu Wei, Wang Yuyan, and Mu Lan don't have this kind of thought. After they put the more than 100 soldiers they brought in the inn, they called up the leaders of Wang's stewards, deacons, and private soldiers. It is said that it is necessary to change the path of crossing the river to Kuaiji.

Such rhetoric naturally surprised the steward, the deacon and the commander of the private soldiers, and then the old steward in charge couldn't help objecting, saying that it was already inappropriate to delay in Guangling for many days, so why should they take a detour.

But Wang Yuyan had already thought of an excuse on the way here, and only said that she would go to Yuzhang first this time to meet Zhu Wei's brother Zhu Hao.

Although Zuo Rong had trapped Zhu Hao to death and seized the land of Yuzhang, he had concealed the news. If Zhu Wei had not come to report the news, perhaps even Liu Yao would have been concealed by Zuo Rong, and then allowed Zuo Rong to return The army was sitting in Moling, helping Liu Yao defend Yuan Shu's army.

Therefore, now Zhu Wei does not need to conceal his identity, and directly uses the name of Zhu Junzhi's third son, but he can also get courtesy from the local nobles and powerful people.

Especially in the land of Xuzhou, Zhu Jun was also in command of the army before, so his prestige is naturally not small, so although Zhu Wei doesn't have many names, the name of Zhu Jun's son is enough for him to be respected.

When Wang Yuyan said this, those stewards, deacons and private commanders who belonged to the Wang family did not object much, but they looked at Zhu Wei even more strangely.

After the matter was settled in this way, Wang Yuyan asked those in charge and executives to go ahead and arrange the departure, and then gave instructions to the two remaining private commanders.

Now it is hard for Wang Yuyan to talk about the surprise attack on Liyang, but she just ordered the two commanders of the private soldiers to obey Mu Lan's orders, and then deliberately asked Mu Lan to arrange for Wang's private soldiers and a hundred people led by Pang Yan before leaving Guangling County. Liu Yao's soldiers fought privately...
