Chapter 59 The Second Hongmen Banquet

Chapter 59 The Second Hongmen Banquet
Although these soldiers of Yuan Jun were afraid of the fierce aura released by Pang Yan, they were willing to follow generals like Pang Yan.

Pang Yan made them feel more secure. There are no weak soldiers under a strong general. Of course, they would not say that they were really scared by Pang Yan and dared not object to Pang Yan's opinion.

Although Mu Lan also showed his martial arts, he still couldn't convince Yuan Jun's surrender. Wouldn't it be a joke to serve as a soldier with a woman.

As a result, Mulan had no choice but to bring Wang's private soldiers over. He had 700 subordinates, but Pang Yan still laughed at him.

When Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan came back, Pang Yan and Mu Lan also trained their soldiers and horses as if they were angry. Obviously, Mu Lan still refused to accept it and wanted to save his face from the training.

The problem is that Pang Yan has 97 land fingers and [-] water fingers. Even in terms of military training ability, Mu Lan is no match for Pang Yan.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan could only look at each other and smile.

Afterwards, Zhu Wei first went to the granary in the barracks to release some grain, and sent Wang's servants to load it into a car and sent it to Zhang Ying, Fan Neng, and Tai Shici. It was regarded as military grain for Zhang Ying and Fan Neng.

Of course, the food was only enough for four or five thousand of them for a day, and Zhu Wei would be reluctant to give any more, and it would be a waste to give too much.

Who knows how many people Zhang Ying and Fan Neng will come back to fight Sun Ce this time.

Afterwards, according to Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan's discussion, Zhu Wei sent the two Liyang officials who were temporarily following him to find the patriarchs of the big families in Liyang County, and the proprietors and shopkeepers of the shops in Liyang City. Banquet at the barracks.

Since these two people betrayed Wu Jing, they naturally couldn't continue to work by Wu Jing's side, so they could only follow Zhu Wei temporarily.

Although the two of them don't have much ability, nor are they qualified as civil servants, but at least they are both literate and have some practical management experience, so they can help Zhu Wei deal with some small matters.

And now they can be regarded as local snakes in Liyang County, and they are very familiar with the situation in Liyang County. At Zhu Wei's request, they listed all the people with status and places in Liyang County in the roster, and then invited them one by one according to the roster. Come to the barracks for dinner.

Of course, at this time, the people in Liyang County finally knew that Liyang had changed. It could be said that the King's Banner changed overnight and became Liu Jiamin.

They have all belonged to Yangzhou Mu Liu Yao's rule, and they will pay taxes and food to Liu Yao in the future.

But to ordinary common people, it doesn't matter, they just rejoice that Liyang's change of master is still safe, at least they didn't suffer from the disaster of war.

This time, Mr. Zhu Wei, who conquered Liyang, invited him to the banquet. These high-status figures in Liyang County did not dare not to come.

This is Zhu Wei's second time hosting a banquet in Liyang.

Just like the first time the banquet was held to catch Wu Jing, this time Zhu Wei held the banquet specially to coerce all the people of Liyang to Jiangdong.

Just now after discussing with Wang Yuyan, Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan decided on a plan to burn everything together.

Both of them felt that Li Yang couldn't hold it anymore, Zhang Ying and Fan Neng's insistence on going their own way would only ruin the four thousand soldiers in vain.

Then Sun Ce came to take advantage of the victory, and his morale was boosted. Even if he attacked Liyang by force, it was possible to take down Liyang. , Fan Neng's defeated soldiers are going to make a fuss, I'm afraid the morale is low and he can't defend Liyang.

It’s just that there are more than 2 people in Liyang, just like what Wang Yuyan said in the Danyang City Post Hotel, there are at least 5000 young and strong people, and it is not easy to let them go to Jiangdong with them. ah.

Therefore, Zhu Wei had no other choice but to kidnap these leaders with status and status in Liyang County, and then forcibly relocate the people in the city to Jiangdong when the common people had no one to show up.

In this way, Zhu Wei's second banquet in Liyang was another Hongmen banquet.

Of course, this time Zhu Wei didn't have to worry about being discovered with trepidation. Now that Zhu Wei had more than 500 troops available, he could already use force to suppress him.

Although these more than 500 soldiers are Yuan Jun who has just surrendered, it may not be possible to let them fight, but it is not a problem to let them deal with ordinary people.

However, if it is really forced by soldiers, I am afraid it will also spread the reputation of tyranny, just like Dong Zhuo's act of forcibly relocating the people of Luoyang to Chang'an.

Zhu Wei didn't want to ruin his reputation easily.

Therefore, Zhu Wei was going to find a suitable excuse for the forced relocation of the people in Liyang this time. The best way was naturally to kidnap some local snakes with status and status in Liyang to help.

For this reason, Zhu Wei also had a special discussion with Wang Yuyan, and finally came up with an idea.

This second banquet is scheduled to officially start in the late afternoon.

As the hour approached, the patriarchs of several rich families in Liyang County, and the proprietors and shopkeepers of shops, inns and other businesses in the city, arrived in twos and threes in the barracks where the banquet was held.

Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan sat directly on top of the banquet seats, waiting for the guests to slowly fill up the banquet seats.

Behind them is Pang Yan, who is fully armed, and more than 50 strong soldiers holding ring swords and double arc hand shields.

It can be said that this banquet gave people a sense of imposing threat from the very beginning.

Especially when Pang Yan stood behind Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan, his eyes widened and he stared at the people attending the banquet with a ferocious aura, almost making everyone who came in think that he was going to devour people.

There are eight big families in Liyang County, and each family has a population of more than a thousand. It can be said that these eight families account for nearly half of Liyang's population.

In fact, many of the shops and inns in Liyang County are owned by these eight companies, and only a few are opened in Liyang by proprietors with backgrounds in other places.

It can be said that the other half of the population in Liyang County are basically working for these eight great families.

That is to say, whoever wants to control Liyang must get the support of these eight major families. Even these eight major families are not considered powerful families of noble families, but at most they can be regarded as poor families with some status in the locality.

But they can also be regarded as representing the public opinion in Liyang County.

Now the patriarchs of the eight major families have been summoned, and behind them are many shopkeepers of subordinate shops, inns, etc. In addition, those small proprietors and shopkeepers who represent foreign proprietors to participate in the banquet are actually only a few.

Of course, the people from the eight major families who came to the banquet didn't think too much about it. They thought that Zhu Wei invited them to come to support Zhu Wei's peaceful transitional regime in Liyang.

Then there's no need for them to have trouble with Zhu Wei, as long as Zhu Wei doesn't make excessive demands or impose too high taxes, then it's good for everyone to live in harmony.

It's just that after they came, they saw Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan sitting in the chairman's seat, but they couldn't help trembling when they saw Pang Yan...
