MTL - Cultivation Starts From Simplifying the Exercises-Chapter 38 Rebels enter the city
Chapter 38 Rebels enter the city
Hearing the news, all the people in Pingyin County went numb. The army of the imperial court ran away directly. As I said before, if the rebels arrive, they will rush to fight.
That's why the aristocratic families in Pingyin County contributed so many resources, because they were afraid that the rebels would come and loot them directly. After all, sometimes, the imperial army pays attention to food, and the rebels don't care about it.
It turned out to be good now, and the imperial army fled.
Some people in Pingyin County don't know what to do. If you want to talk about resistance, you can resist for a while by closing the city gate. But how long this time can last is somewhat unclear.
After all, there is no army in Pingyin County, only the county government officials and arresters, and the equipment for defending the city is also very simple. It is very difficult to resist the surging rebels.
And there is another problem. If they fight to the end like this, if the city is broken in the end, then the entire Pingyin County will be looted.
Judging from the news from other towns, as long as they resist, the whole town will face the end of being burned, killed and looted. So many refugees are produced in this way.
If you don't resist, just open the city and surrender, the end may be better. But it's just better. Those rebels attacked the city and seized the territory, and they didn't think about management. The most important purpose was all kinds of resources.
Some people in Pingyin County don't know what to do. Both options are very difficult, and they seem to be dead words. It's just that one died standing and the other kneeled.
Ten miles away.
"Is the imperial army withdrew?" Tan Zhenan sat on the horse, looking at the spies below and asked.
"Yes, all have been evacuated, and in recent days, they have taken away a lot of supplies from Pingyin County." The spies lowered their heads and reported.
"What a bunch of cowards, with such courage, they dare to lead the army!" Hua Shizhong sneered.
"If it weren't for this group of people, how could we have gained momentum. And if they fight us based on Pingyin County, even if we win in the end, we will suffer heavy losses."
Tan Zhenan looked at the looming city in the distance, waved his hand, and the whole army began to speed up.
Since the imperial army is not here, Pingyin County is already in their pocket. As for whether Pingyin County resisted or not, it made no difference in his eyes.
Since planning to plunder Pingyin County, Tan Zhen'an has already made complete preparations.
People in Pingyin County were still vacillating, but the gates of Nancheng City had already been opened, and seven or eight people guarding the city were killed, and all of them surrendered.
It is impossible not to surrender. A master of marrow training level is really a crushing existence for these yamen servants who have the most meat training level. At some point, there were rebels lurking in Pingyin County, and they exploded at this moment.
If the county government is determined enough to guard the city, it will naturally send heavy troops to guard the gates of the city. But with this forward-looking mentality, the defense of the city gate naturally became a joke.
Chen Fei stayed in his courtyard, listening to the noise outside, feeling a little restless.
A few days ago, I was thinking that the rebels would not come, but now it directly appeared in front of me.
The medical hall was closed after receiving news of the arrival of the rebels. Chen Fei was thinking about going to Zhang's house to hide for a while, but after thinking about it, he decided not to go.
When the rebel army entered the city, the biggest targets were these families. Hiding inside, Chen Fei could easily be harmed by Chi Yu. Moreover, the Zhang family didn't let Chen Fei go to the mansion, and apparently they didn't want to protect Chen Fei either.
As for whether the rebels will loot civilians, it depends on how high the lower limit of these people is. If it doesn't work, Chen Fei can only shoot one shot for another.
At this time, the effect of the Disguise Technique is manifested, at least it will not be recognized by others.
"In the eyes of experts, this disguise technique is probably a little flawed. If there is a chance in the future, I should find a stronger disguise technique to learn."
With thoughts turning in Chen Fei's mind, he returned to the alchemy room, came to a washbasin, and buried his whole face in the cold water.
"Qingxin Jue experience value +1...experience value +1..."
It is not troublesome to wash your hair in cold water, but it is a bit cumbersome to wash your hair all the time. Finally, Chen Fei found such a way, hold your breath, and bury your head in cold water. After a period of time, the experience value will increase once.
Up to now, Chen Fei has practiced the Qingxin Jue to the proficient level, approaching the perfect position.
Under the effect of the Qingxin Jue, Chen Fei's state of mind became more calm and calm, and he could make decisions faster when encountering things.
Of course, the biggest purpose of Chen Fei's hard work now is to think that if Pingyin County can't stay, Chen Fei will travel long distances to Xianyun Sword Sect.
Whether he can join the Xianyun Sword Sect will not be discussed, but at least the stable environment there allows Chen Fei to continue to practice and grow. Moreover, in such a big city, the level of pills and cheat books must be much higher than that of Pingyin County.
While Chen Fei was forcing himself to practice calmly, the yamen and aristocratic families in Pingyin County were gathering together at the moment, looking at Tan Zhenan in front of him.
Different from the happy and harmonious relationship with the imperial army, people in Pingyin County are quite tense and cautious when they are talking about Zhen'an.
"It seems that everyone is here, so let me say a few words."
Tan Zhenan looked at the crowd, with a smile on his face, and said: "I think you all know what my purpose is here."
"General Tan's request, we will do our best to meet it." The county magistrate looked at Tan Zhen'an with a flattering smile on his face.
"With your words, then I can rest assured, otherwise no one will be able to do it at that time, and they will say that we didn't explain in advance."
Tan Zhenan glanced past the county magistrate, looked at people from various families, and said, "The Zhao family has one hundred thousand taels of silver and one thousand pieces of refined iron blades. The Li family has eighty thousand taels of silver and one thousand pieces of rattan armor. Family…"
As Tan Zhenan reported the numbers one by one, the faces of people from various families turned pale.
This is simply taking out all their old backgrounds, leaving no room at all.
"My Zhou family has been mismanaged in recent years, and I can't come up with so much money. I hope the general can accommodate me."
"Yeah, my Zheng family is just a small family, how can there be..."
"Chick!"
The knife light flashed in the lobby, and everyone was covered in blood before they understood what happened. The two people who spoke just now have already separated from each other.
"This is not a negotiation, it's an order. Who else can't do it, you can say it now!"
Hua Shizhong put the blade back into the scabbard slowly, looking at people from various families with a playful smile on his face.
"Pay the money in two days, and deliver the supplies in ten days. Let's go." Tan Zhenan waved his hand and left the lobby. This conversation was indeed a process of giving orders.
People from different families looked at each other, especially at the corpse on the ground, and couldn't help but shudder.
Any disagreement is to draw a knife and kill someone, without even saying anything superfluous.
Everyone returns to their families and passes things on. Now it is money to buy life, if you don't want to take money, you will end up in the county government.
