After hearing the news, everyone in Pingyin County was numb. The imperial army actually ran away. 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 arrive and directly loot them. After all, sometimes the imperial army pays attention to their food and appearance, but the rebels don't care about this.
The result is now good, the imperial army has escaped.
Some people in Pingyin County don't know what to do. As for resistance, they can resist for a while by closing the city gates. But how long this time will last is somewhat unclear.
After all, there is no army in Pingyin County, only county government officials and police officers, and the equipment for defending the city is also very crude. It is very difficult to resist the onrushing rebels.
And there is another problem. If they resist to the end, if the city is finally broken, then the entire Pingyin County will definitely be plundered.
Judging from the news coming from other towns, as long as there is resistance, the entire town will face the end of being burned, killed and plundered. This is how so many refugees were created.
If you don't resist and surrender directly to Kaicheng, the outcome may be better. But it was only a little better. Those rebels captured the city and did not think about management. The most important purpose was various resources.
Some people in Pingyin County don't know what to do. Both options are very difficult and both seem to be the word death. It's just that one died standing and the other kneeled.
Ten miles away.
"Have the imperial troops withdrawn?" Tan Zhenan asked, sitting on the horse and looking at the spies below.
"Yes, they have all been evacuated. In recent days, they have taken away a lot of supplies from Pingyin County." The spy lowered his head and reported.
"What a bunch of cowards. With such courage, they dare to lead an army in battle!" Hua Shizhong sneered.
"If it weren't for this group of people, how could we gain 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 accelerate forward.
Since the imperial army is not here, Pingyin County is already in their possession. As for whether Pingyin County resists or not, it makes no difference in his eyes.
Since he planned to plunder Pingyin County, Tan Zhenan had already made complete preparations.
While the people in Pingyin County were still wavering, the gates of Nancheng were opened. Seven or eight of the government officials who were guarding the city were killed, and then they all surrendered.
It doesn't matter if you don't surrender. A master in the Marrow Realm can really crush these government servants who are mostly in the Flesh Realm. I don't know when, there were rebels lurking in Pingyin County, and they exploded at this moment.
If the county government is determined enough to defend the city, it will naturally send heavy troops to guard each city gate. But with this mentality of looking forward and looking back, the defense of the city gate has naturally become a joke.
Chen Fei stayed in his courtyard, listening to the commotion outside, feeling a little irritable.
A few days ago, I thought that the rebels would not come, but now they appeared directly in front of me.
The medical center had been closed after receiving news of the arrival of the rebels. Chen Fei originally thought about whether to go to the Zhang family to hide for a while, but after thinking about it, he decided not to go.
When the rebels entered the city, their biggest targets were these aristocratic families. Hiding inside, Chen Fei could easily get hurt. Moreover, the Zhang family did not let Chen Fei go to the mansion, and they obviously did not want to protect Chen Fei.
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 take one shot for another.
At this time, the effect of the disguise technique is revealed, at least it will not be recognized by others.
"This disguise technique is probably still a bit flawed in the eyes of experts. If you have a chance in the future, you should find a stronger disguise technique and learn it."
With thoughts running through his mind, Chen Fei returned to the alchemy room, came to a washbasin, and buried his entire face in the cold water.
"Experience value of Qingxin Jue +1...Experience value +1..."
Washing your hair with cold water is not troublesome, but washing your hair all the time is a bit cumbersome. Finally, Chen Fei found a way to hold his breath and bury his head completely in cold water. After a period of time, his experience points will increase once.
Now, Chen Fei has practiced Qingxin Jue to the proficient level, approaching the position of perfection.
Under the influence of Qingxin Jue, Chen Fei's mood became calmer and calmer, and he could make decisions faster when encountering problems.
Of course, the biggest reason why Chen Fei is practicing so hard now is to think that if he can't stay in Pingyin County, Chen Fei will make a long journey to Xianyun Sword Sect.
I don't know whether he can join the Xianyun Sword Sect, but at least the stable environment there will allow Chen Fei to continue to practice and grow. And for such a big city, the level of elixirs and secret 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, looking at Tan Zhenan in front of him.
Unlike the imperial army, who were enjoying their time together, the people in Pingyin County seemed quite nervous and reserved when talking about Zhen'an.
"It seems that everyone is here, so I will say a few words."
Tan Zhenan looked at everyone, with a smile on his face, and said: "I think you all know what my purpose is here."
"We will do our best to meet General Tan's request." The county magistrate looked at Tan Zhen'an with a flattering smile on his face.
"With your words, I feel relieved, otherwise no one will be able to do it when the time comes, and they will say that we did not explain it in advance."
Tan Zhen'an glanced past the county magistrate and looked at the people from various aristocratic families, and said: "The Zhao family has one hundred thousand taels of silver and one thousand fine iron blades. The Li family has eighty thousand taels of silver and one thousand half-length rattan armor. Zhou Home……"
As Tan Zhenan reported the numbers one by one, the faces of people from various aristocratic families turned pale.
This is simply taking away all their old assets, leaving no room for them at all.
"My Zhou family has been improperly managed in recent years and cannot afford so much money. I hope General Tan will be accommodating."
"Yes, my Zheng family is just a small family. Where can I have..."
"laugh!"
The light of the sword flashed across the lobby, and before everyone could understand what was happening, they were covered in blood. The two people who just spoke have already separated their bodies.
"This is not a negotiation, it is an order. Whoever can't do it can say it now!"
Hua Shizhong slowly put the blade back into the scabbard, looking at the people from various aristocratic families with a joking smile on his face.
"Pay the money in two days, and the materials in ten days. Let's get over it." Tan Zhenan waved his hand and left the lobby. This conversation was indeed a process of giving orders.
People from various aristocratic families looked at each other, especially at the corpse on the ground, and couldn't help but shudder.
If they don't agree with each other, they will draw their swords and kill people without even saying any unnecessary words.
Everyone returned to their respective families to pass on the story. Now you are buying your life with money. If you are not willing to take the money, you will end up in the county government.
