60, the second Hongmen feast
Although these Yuan soldiers were afraid of the fierce momentum unleashed by Pang Yan, they were also willing to follow a general like Pang Yan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Pang Yan made them feel more secure, there were no weak soldiers under the strong generals, of course they wouldn't say it, they were really too frightened by Pang Yan to oppose Pang Yan's opinion.
And although Mu Lan also showed his martial arts, he still couldn't convince Yuan Jun to surrender and follow a woman as a soldier, isn't it a joke.
As a result, Mu Lan had no choice but to pull the Wang family's private soldiers over, and he had 700 subordinates, but he still made Pang Yan laugh.
When Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan came back, Pang Yan and Mu Lan were also training their own soldiers and horses as if they were angry, obviously Mu Lan was still not convinced, and wanted to save his face from training.
The problem is that Pang Yan has one hundred land fingers and ninety-seven water fingers, even in terms of training ability, Mu Lan can't compare to Pang Yan.
Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan saw this scene, but they could only look at each other and smile.
Subsequently, Zhu Wei first went to the granary in the barracks to release some grain, and sent Wang's servants to load a car and send it to Zhang Ying, Fan Neng, and Tai Shici, which was considered to be military rations for Zhang Ying and Fan Neng.
Of course, this food is only enough for four or five thousand of them to eat for a day, and Zhu Wei will be reluctant to give more, and it will be a waste to give more.
Who knew that Zhang Ying and Fan Neng would fight Sun Ce this time, and a few people would come back.
Later, according to the discussion between Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan, Zhu Wei sent the two Liyang officials who temporarily followed him to find the patriarch of the big families in Liyang County, and the proprietors and shopkeepers of the large and small shops in Liyang City to come to the military camp for a banquet.
Since these two betrayed Wu Jing, they naturally had no way to continue to stay by Wu Jing's side to do things, so they could only follow Zhu Wei temporarily.
Although the two of them don't have much ability, and they are not the qualifications of Wenchen, at least they are literate, and they also have some practical management experience, which can help Zhu Wei deal with some small things.
And now they are also the head snakes of Liyang County, they are very familiar with the situation in Liyang County, and at the request of Zhu Wei, they will list all the people in Liyang County who have identities and places, and then invite them to the barracks to the banquet one by one according to the roster.
Of course, at this time, the people of Liyang County finally knew that Liyang had changed the sky, and it could be said that the banner of the king changed overnight, and since then it has become the people of the Liu family.
They have all belonged to the rule of Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan, and they will pay taxes and grain to Liu Xiang in the future.
But for ordinary people, it doesn't matter, they are just glad that this Liyang change of lord is still stable, at least they have not suffered from military disasters.
This time, it was Zhu Weigongzi who laid down Liyang to invite him to the banquet, and these figures with status in Liyang County did not dare not come.
This is the second time Zhu Wei has held a banquet in Liyang.
Just like the first banquet was held to catch Wu Jing, this time Zhu Wei set up a banquet and specially held it to coerce all the people of Liyang to go to Jiangdong.
After discussing with Wang Yuyan, Zhu Wei decided on a plan to burn all the jade.
Both of them felt that Liyang couldn't hold it, and Zhang Ying and Fan Neng insisted on going their own way, and they would only lose the 4,000 soldiers in vain.
Then Sun Ce took advantage of the victory, and his morale was greatly boosted, even if he attacked Liyang, it was possible to defeat Liyang, after all, the soldiers in Liyang City would definitely not be used, only relying on more than 1,000 people under Tai Shici, if Sun Ce was allowed to use Zhang Ying and Fan Neng's defeated troops to drum up, I am afraid that the morale is also low and he will not be able to hold Liyang.
It's just that there are more than 20,000 people in Liyang, just like Wang Yuyan said in the Danyang City Post Hotel before, there are at least more than 5,000 young people, and it is not easy for them to leave their homes and businesses to go to Jiangdong together.
Therefore, Zhu Wei had no other way but to kidnap these leaders with status in Liyang County, and then forcibly relocate the people in the city to Jiangdong when there was no one to come forward.
Speaking of which, 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, now that Zhu Wei had more than 2,500 troops available, he could already use strong oppression.
Although the more than 2,500 soldiers were all Yuan troops who had just surrendered, it may not be possible to let them go to war, but there is no problem in letting them deal with ordinary people.
However, if it is really forced by soldiers, I am afraid that it will also have a reputation for 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, this time to forcibly relocate the people of Liyang, Zhu Wei is ready to find a suitable excuse, and the best way is naturally to hijack some local snakes who have status and status in Liyang to help.
For this reason, Zhu Wei also had a special discussion with Wang Yuyan, and he came up with an idea.
This second banquet is scheduled to begin in the early afternoon.
As the hour approached little by little, the patriarchs of several large families in Liyang County, as well as the proprietors and shopkeepers of shops and inns in the city, arrived in the barracks where the banquet was held.
Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan sat directly on the main seat of the banquet, waiting for the guests to slowly fill the seats of the banquet.
Behind the two of them were heavily armed Pang Yan and more than fifty strong soldiers armed with ring-headed knives and double-arc hand shields.
It can be said that this banquet gave people an overwhelming sense of threat from the beginning.
Especially Pang Yan stood behind Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan, staring at the people who went to the banquet with round eyes, which made everyone who came in think that he was going to eat people.
There are a total of eight large families in Liyang County, and each family has a population of more than 1,000 people, so it can be said that these eight families account for nearly half of the population of Liyang.
In fact, there are many shops and inns in Liyang County, which are also the industries of these eight companies, and only a few are opened in Liyang by proprietors with backgrounds from other places.
It can be said that the other half of the population in Liyang County is basically doing things for these eight families.
In other words, whoever wants to control Liyang must get the support of these eight families, even if these eight families are not a powerful family of scholars, at most they are only a poor family with some identities in the local area.
But they can also be regarded as representing the public opinion in Liyang County.
Now the patriarchs of these eight major families have been called, and behind them are also many subordinate shops, inns and other shopkeepers, and those small proprietors and shopkeepers who attend the banquet on behalf of foreign proprietors are actually only a few.
Of course, now these people from the eight major families who came to the banquet didn't think too much, and thought that Zhu Wei invited them over to let them support Zhu Wei's governance of Liyang and the peaceful transitional regime.
Then there is no need for them to get along with Zhu Wei, as long as Zhu Wei does not make excessive demands and levy too high taxes, then it is also good for everyone to live in harmony.
It's just that after they came, they saw Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan sitting on the chairman's seat, and when they saw Pang Yan, they couldn't help but tremble......
