342. Entered Lingling County

According to Zhu Wei's knowledge, Liu Xian of Lingling County is also a Wenchen recognized by the Three Kingdoms game system, as for that Xing Daorong, he is a guy with good military strength in the four counties of Jingnan, who is good at making a big axe, and is known as the head of the five brave generals of Jingnan.

Of course, what is more important is that there are also 8,000 soldiers under Liu Xian and Xing Daorong in Lingling County, although the training and morale are average, but at least 8,000 regular soldiers, if they can be subdued, it will increase Zhu Wei's strength a lot.

Therefore, Zhu Wei must take advantage of the same internal emptiness on the side of Lingling County to take Quanling County as soon as possible, so that Liu Xian and Xing Daorong, who are outside the army, are also duckweed without roots.

As long as Zhu Wei doesn't kill Liu Du, there is a chance that they will be able to surrender.

However, although Zhao Fan is surrendering the city on the Chenxian side of Guiyang County now, Zhu Wei can't easily trust him, so Zhu Wei asked the subordinate officials of Chenxian County to temporarily maintain the operation of Guiyang County, and Zhao Fan must take him with him.

Otherwise, Zhao Fan may abandon his official position and flee to Xiangyang to find Liu Biao, wouldn't it be in vain to let go of a civil servant who can do things that can be too guarded, Zhu Wei is now very short of this kind of civil servant who can govern the place.

Even if Zhao Fan has a loyalty of fifty-six now, according to the loyalty rules in the game, he will not leave, but this is the real world after all, as long as he does not really return to Zhu Wei, then he cannot be trusted.

Regarding Zhu Wei's arrangement, Zhao Fan also has no opinion.

So in the following time, Zhao Fan handed over to the subordinate officials of Chenxian County to be responsible for managing the affairs of Guiyang County, and asked people to temporarily act on his behalf, and then added some government requirements that Zhu Wei began to implement when he was in Yuzhang, and there was nothing else to pay attention to.

At this time, Guiyang County was the time for the collection of grain fields in the autumn of the year, and since Zhu Wei easily took Guiyang County, in order to appease the people of Guiyang County, he simply issued a decree exempting the autumn tax of the current season, and also abolished all kinds of other messy taxes.

In this way, with the transmission of the decree, the people of Guiyang County could not help but rejoice, and they also supported Zhu Wei, the new lord of Guiyang County, and the people's loyalty was suddenly increased to more than sixty or seventy.

Subsequently, Zhu Wei collected seven or eight tenths of the money and grain in the Chenxian County Treasury, leaving only two or three percent to maintain the normal operation of the government, and then collected all the weapons and armor in the Chenxian Arsenal.

In this way, Chenxian can avoid repeated troubles in the future.

It is impossible for Zhu Wei to divide troops to garrison here, and Zhu Wei does not have enough generals to stay here, so there are only a few hundred local county soldiers responsible for maintaining local law and order on the Chenxian side, which can be regarded as an undefended empty city.

In this way, Chenxian's money, food, and weapons reserves were collected, and even if the city was empty, he was not worried about being taken away again.

Taking a step back, even if Chenxian County is occupied by any forces in the future, Zhu Wei will only be able to recover it, and it just so happens that Zhu Wei can also use this to use his hands and feet in Guiyang County to get rid of some disobedient local scholars, heroes and the like.

As for Chen Ying and Bao Long, who led about 5,000 soldiers and horses in Guiyang County, anyway, Zhao Fan had already written a handwritten letter to let them stop at Changsha County, so naturally he was not worried about what would happen to them.

When Zhu Wei takes Lingling County, if it goes well, maybe they can join Zhu Wei with Liu Xian and Xing Daorong, then their alliance with Liu Xian and Xing Daorong will not have to run back and forth.

In this way, Zhu Wei's army repaired in Chenxian for a day, and then took Zhao Fan with him and went straight to Quanling County along the official road from Guiyang County to Lingling County.

The speed of marching from the official road was extremely fast, and Zhu Wei's army hardly had to carry grain and grass and other baggage, so after this kind of drag, Zhu Wei's army marched a few points faster than ordinary troops, basically marching for five or six hours a day, and could roughly walk a distance of about 100 miles.

Therefore, three days later, Zhu Wei's army had already entered the territory of Lingling County, and the pioneer battalion that opened the road in front was less than half a day's journey from Quanling County, the county of Lingling County.

Along the way, the county towns in Guiyang County that passed through, because Zhao Fan was following, basically knocked on the door and surrendered, as for the county towns in Lingling County, they did not dare to resist in the face of Zhu Wei's army of 20,000 or 30,000, and most of them also opened the door and surrendered.

The few who refused to surrender, Zhu Wei didn't care about them at first, and directly marched in front of the county with a large army, anyway, there were at most hundreds of county soldiers and thousands of young men recruited in this county, and they didn't dare to go out of the city to fight Zhu Wei's elite army.

Then when Zhu Wei's main army was almost gone, he sent people to threaten again, if he didn't surrender, he would attack the county seat and fill the land for the army to be fed with grain and grass, but the people in these county towns saw the elite posture of Zhu Wei's army, and they were afraid that Zhu Wei's army would forcibly attack and slaughter the city, and nine times out of ten they also fell.

Of course, Zhu Wei basically didn't do anything in these county towns where Kaicheng surrendered, he just collected the money and grain in the county treasury and left immediately, and he completely retained the existing official establishment in the county.

It's just that the movement of Zhu Wei's army along the way has naturally been discovered by the people of Lingling County, and then the news has spread to Quanling County.

Now on the official road leading to Quanling County, there are no more merchants and travelers, and even some of the common people's villages on the road have become empty, obviously afraid of the army passing through and plundering the place.

In fact, Zhu Wei had already had a military order for the army on his side, not allowing soldiers to loot places, and not allowing soldiers to enter villages and disturb the people at will.

Previously, Zhu Wei's army came all the way, except for the news of the army, he would do some measures to the people of the villages passing by, and when he was marching normally, there was almost no impact on the people of the villages he passed by.

Even if the road passes through the fields of the local people, the soldiers are not allowed to easily trample on them, and the army needs to pass through the fields to protect the wheat fields from damage, similar to the meaning of helping the wheat to walk.

Of course, Zhu Wei naturally did not have the story of Cao Cao's expedition to Wancheng, because the horse stepped on the wheat field and cut the head of the head, but the military discipline in the Zhu Wei army was strictly disciplined at the time of Yuzhang, so Zulang's Yueshan army and Zhu Wei's 4,000 crossbowmen were used to strictly abiding by it.

As for the other 5,000 auxiliary soldiers, they were also constrained by military orders, and although the barbarian young men led by Bunu Tanuka and Ragacamai were still a little chaotic, under the influence of the overall atmosphere of Zhu Wei's army, they naturally followed cautiously.

Of course, most of Zhu Wei's march this time was also on official roads, so as long as the army did not scatter into the surrounding fields, it would not damage the ripe wheat in the fields.

Therefore, Zhu Wei's army walked all the way, and he really showed no offense against the local autumn.

However, the local people did not know the discipline of Zhu Wei's army, so they were still afraid of the plundering of the army, and fled into the mountains to escape the disaster of war in advance......
