Chapter 130

Before the Xuzhou government office, a middle-aged scholar watched Especially Mi Zhu's figure, blocked him, and asked with a light laugh!

Especially Mi Zhu, having been stopped, glanced at the man and also revealed a smile!

"So it is Yuanlong!" After a vigilant glance at the newcomer, Especially Mi Zhu continued, "It was merely a family business matter; I went over to take a look."

"Haha, Baggage train, you truly jest. What kind of business is worth Baggage train going there in person!"

Chen Deng, who had arrived, scrutinized Especially Mi Zhu, as if he had already seen through him!

What so-called business!

It was nothing more than going to Jiangdu County!

And meeting that Lin Yang, Lin Ziyuan!

In the current Xuzhou, who does not know Lin Yang, Lin Ziyuan!

"Yuanlong, how do you have the leisure today to concern yourself with my family's business?"

Especially Mi Zhu did not respond to the other, but instead asked in return!

The Chen family was also a prominent noble clan of Xuzhou!

Chen Deng, Chen Yuanlong, was no simple character!

Furthermore, his father, Chen Gui, was also a famous scholar of the Great Han, born of a noble family, and his ancestors had even held the position of Grand Marshal!

Though this man was not as wealthy as the Mi family!

His reputation was even above the Mi family's!

Therefore, at this moment, Especially Mi Zhu was very cautious, avoiding letting the other see any clues!

"Nothing, just that at this time of the autumn harvest, I imagine those two in Guangling Commandery must be unable to sit still!"

After the autumn harvest, grain and fodder would be plentiful!

Whether it be Zhang Chao of Guangling Commandery or Lin Yang of Jiangdu County!

These two would inevitably mobilize their troops to determine who was superior!

Although Chen Deng's relationship with the Mi family was average, there was one viewpoint of Especially Mi Zhu's that he quite agreed with!

That was that Tao Qian was old!

Facing Dong Zhuo appointing Lin Yang as the Administrator of Guangling Commandery and concurrently Inspector of Xuzhou!

Tao Qian was actually indifferent!

Although Inspector and Provincial Governor were two different positions in the Great Han officialdom!

But ever since the Huang Jin Uprising, the Provincial Governor and Inspector were often side-by-side!

Tao Qian was previously the Inspector of Xuzhou, holding the title of Provincial Governor of Xuzhou!

This was an obvious seizure of power!

Yet Tao Qian actually let Lin Yang be!

This made Chen Deng sigh quite a bit!

Tao Qian was uncompetitive, a man who only knew how to guard his city!

In this way!

The future master of Xuzhou was something Chen Deng also needed to ponder!

Under the current circumstances, Chen Deng had not yet found a suitable candidate!

"Indeed, there may be war in Guangling Commandery, but I imagine it should not descend into great chaos!"

Especially Mi Zhu took up the topic, also sighing, and then spoke with exceptional firmness in his eyes!

If it were before!

He might not have had such great confidence!

But now!

He was very confident!

In the struggle for Guangling Commandery, Lin Yang would surely win!

With the six thousand warhorses he had sent, what did Zhang Chao have to fight Lin Yang in open field combat!

Plus the likes of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, and that Cheng Zhongde who was skilled in poisonous schemes!

Mere Zhang Chao was no match!

"Baggage train is quite confident!"

Chen Deng looked at Especially Mi Zhu in surprise, then guessed it!

The man before him had clearly already placed his bets!

Was he betting on Lin Yang entering Xuzhou?

Watching Especially Mi Zhu leave, Chen Deng stood in place and began to ponder!

If Lin Yang won, took control of the entire Guangling Commandery, and brought great order to it, it would not be impossible for their Chen family to welcome him into Xuzhou!

Thinking this in his heart, Chen Deng's gaze turned toward the direction of the Provincial Governor's mansion!

Alas!

Tao Qian was old, and his sons were all incompetent!

Otherwise, why would they be in this situation!

Xuzhou, Guangling Commandery, Guanglingcheng.

"My lord, the grain from the three counties has been harvested and will be transported here before long!"

In the main hall of the commandery office, Zhang Hong was reporting the situation of the grain!

Although Lin Yang had been appointed as the Administrator of Guangling Commandery!

Apart from Jiangdu County, the other county cities were not under his control!

They were still under the rule of Zhang Chao!

"Hmm, Ziyuan, how is the training of the soldiers in the army?"

He looked toward Zang Hong on the other side; he was the only great general under his command who could be put to significant use!

"My lord, the thirty thousand soldiers have all finished training, waiting only for your order!"

To deal with Lin Yang, Zhang Chao could be considered to have exhausted his military resources!

If he couldn't handle Lin Yang!

He would have to hand over his Guangling Commandery to others!

During this time, besides conscripting new soldiers, he had even borrowed five thousand soldiers from Zhang Miao!

Only then did he manage to gather the current force of thirty thousand!

"Good, once the grain and fodder are ready, the great army will immediately march on Jiangdu!"

Looking at the ready grain and troops, a sharp light appeared in Zhang Chao's eyes again!

The humiliation of the last defeat!

He must make the other pay it back!

"My lord, this is bad! Lin Yang has led his troops to within ten miles of the city!"

Just as Zhang Chao was waiting for the grain from the three counties, a small soldier rushed over and reported!

"What? Lin Yang has already led his troops to the outskirts of the city?"

Hearing this report, Zhang Chao's brows could not help but knit together!

During this period!

He had arranged scouts all around Guanglingcheng!

The purpose was to know the movements of Lin Yang's march!

Now, the autumn harvest had just begun!

Had Lin Yang's rice all been harvested?

The army does not move before the grain and fodder!

This was the rule of marching!

"Go, to the city gate!"

He shouted, and the next moment, Zhang Chao led everyone toward the city gate!

When Zhang Chao stood atop the city gate, he saw a cloud of dust rising from the flat ground not far away!

The figures of tens of thousands of soldiers were coming from afar in a mighty force!

This movement made Zhang Chao's brows knit tightly!

"Is this Lin Yang crazy? How could his grain supply keep up!"
