Speaking of this, a cold light flashed across Zhou Xin's face.

"These people are all well-known surrender factions among the aristocratic families in the city."

"I recorded these few with pen and ink, but I tried every means to persuade me to buy grain at a high price from the merchants in Wu County. I suspect that these people have already had an affair with Wu County outside, or with Shanyue."

"Now it's a time of war, it's not easy for me to touch them."

"In the future, if Prefect Zhang Yan can successfully take over this Danyang County... then no matter who the future Prefect of Danyang is, please don't forget to liquidate these guys."

……

"These are the most hateful people who have tied their swords and rolled their armor, and bound their faces to their fate."

"If it wasn't for my stupidity and late discovery, I wouldn't have fallen into such a situation."

Chapter 24 Wanling

"In short, after you take over this Danyang..."

"I also hope that you can persuade Prefect Zhang Yan to do what the leader of Danyang should do."

"It's different from other places... the people in Danyang have suffered for too long. During the few years I was in power, the local population in Danyang not only did not increase at all, but was slowly declining..."

"Where is this something that should appear in a unified dynasty?"

……

"I... am a person who has no ability, no talent to govern the world."

"After all these years of experience... I have also seen myself clearly."

"It's just that your prefect Zhang Yan is different."

"Even if I am in Danyang, I can see the changes in Lujiang in the past two years."

"I hope you can do a good job, revenge if you have a grudge, repay a grudge if you have a grudge, and don't spread your anger towards Shanyue on the people."

……

"As for what you need, you can tell me."

"I will fully cooperate with you."

……

Such words came from a prefect, and Zhou Fan could naturally feel that his clan uncle, Zhou Xin, might have lost the last trace of energy in his heart.

From his point of view, it sounded like he was entrusting his funeral.

But before he could speak, Zhou Xin waved his hand at him, then took the cup and took a sip of tea.

……

"You don't need to talk too much, I understand."

……

Judging from Zhou Xin's appearance, it seemed that he was determined to make such a decision, so Zhou Fan stopped trying to persuade him.

……

"When this matter is over, I will use this reason to submit my resignation to Han Ting."

"If your prefect has a suitable candidate, you can tell me in advance, and I will recommend it to Han Ting."

……

From the point of view of a prefect and a local official, what Zhou Xin said at this moment is very obvious.

That is, he is willing to hand over this place to Zhang Yan's subordinates to take care of it.

In the future, he will no longer have anything to do with this Danyang.

……

Only this time, Zhou Fan shook his head decisively.

"Uncle, you don't have to do this."

Said something softly to the other party, Zhou Fan didn't care whether his uncle listened to it or not, and just said it on his own.

……

"It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. We are both from the Zhou family. How can we not know what's going on in Danyang?"

"Uncle, with this strength, you started from scratch, and it is already a remarkable thing to be able to gain a firm foothold in Danyang."

"Also, these things..."

……

Pointing to the letter, defense map, waist card, and list of insiders on the table, Zhou Fan pursed his lips, and then smiled at his uncle.

……

"With these things, it is enough."

"Uncle, you don't know. Not long ago, I was also a citizen of Lujiang and entered my own army."

"In the words of our Commander Yang, with these things, this battle, even if it is handed over to a three-year-old child, can be won."

……

Then, as if afraid of Zhou Xin's hesitation, Zhou Fan cheerfully put all those things into his arms.

"As for the resignation, please wait."

There was a gleam of light in his eyes, and Zhou Fan's expression showed a slight hint of envy.

……

"You are an uncle, and I am a nephew... I should not have advised you on your decision."

"But... you are not short of these two days, are you?"

……

"There is a big man who is also going out with the army this time. It won't be long before he joins several of our army formations."

"He said he wanted to see you."

……

"Who?"

Zhou Xin was taken aback subconsciously, and then asked a question.

"Could it be that you, the prefect of Lujiang, also went out with the army?"

……

"Hehe, um, who else..."

Zhou Fan smiled.

"Isn't that the prefect that our Zhou family serves?"

……

"If you resign or something, please wait a little longer."

"Wait until you meet Zhang Taishou before making a decision..."

……

In this way, soon, the Zhou family's uncles and nephews secretly reached a consensus, and passed on the situation of Danyang Shanyue through Zhou Fan, a junior.

Now, with news from within Shanyue... Even if the commanders of the two armies on the central line and the northern line are useless, facing Shanyue who is almost defenseless, this battle is extremely easy.

In the night of that day, an army of about 2 people traveled from the north to the south, all the way from the vicinity of Danyang County to kill Wanling. Inside the col.

Due to Shanyue's loose military discipline, it even led to a large army of 7 people, but no one discovered that there was an enemy army quietly stationed behind his buttocks.

……

This army is not an outsider, it is Yang Feng, the commander of the Lujiang Second Army and Horse Command Division who came from Danyang overnight, and his subordinates.

If it weren't for the fact that the army has a lot of luggage, and there are several guys with hundreds of catties that need to be carried with the army, maybe this army can go south faster.

Maybe it was yesterday, or even the night before yesterday, that they had quietly touched the vicinity of Wanling.

……

But now, it's not bad at all.

……

After ordering everyone under his command to set up camp in case of emergencies, several leading generals in the Second Army Ma Si, including Yang Feng, disguised themselves like this, and in the early morning of the next day, followed those who came in and out. The flow of people mixed into Danyang's administrative office, Wanling.

……

"Huh, this Wanling City doesn't look 'really small'?"

"I'm afraid it's half the size of our Wancheng, isn't it?"

……

At ten o'clock in the morning, walking with a few people on the street of Wanling, Yang Feng looked around at the scenery along the way, although his expression was serious, but there was also a hint of curiosity.

As a general from Hedong County in the north, Yang Feng has been in Yangzhou all his life, and the only place he has been to is Lujiang County.

Even when he was attacking the series of important towns in the north of Danyang, he personally led his soldiers to station outside the city out of consideration for the order of the army, for fear of causing any trouble to the people in the city.

It is precisely because of this that this Wanling is the second important town in the east of the Yangtze River that Yang Feng has officially entered besides Lujiang Wancheng.

And this person... always likes to compare.

It's no better than pouring...

Comparing it, Wanling suddenly had countless "unsatisfactory", which came into Yang Feng's eyes.

Chapter 25 The Last Years of the Dynasty, False Peace

From a rational point of view, Wanling County and Lujiang's Wancheng State are both nine horizontal and nine vertical, nine streets and nine alleys, and countless standard configurations of alleys. As a city, the size is not much different.
