Chapter 38 Rebels enter the city

Hearing the news, all the people in Pingyin County were numb. The imperial army actually ran away. As I said before, if the rebels arrive, they will rush to fight.

The reason why the aristocratic families in Pingyin County contributed so many resources was 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. If they want to resist, 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 policemen, and the equipment to defend the city is also very simple. 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.

From the news coming from other towns, as long as there is resistance, the whole 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 the city, 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.

Pingyin County doesnt know what to do. Both options are difficult and both seem to be a dead end. 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"Have the imperial troops withdrawn?"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, and 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.

Different from the imperial army who were getting along harmoniously, the people in Pingyin County seemed quite nervous and reserved when talking about Zhen'an at this moment.

"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 Tans request. The county magistrate looked at Tan Zhenan with a flattering smile on his face.

"With your words, I feel relieved, otherwise no one can 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 wealth, leaving no room at all.

My Zhou family has been operating improperly in recent years and cannot afford so much money. I hope General Tan can be accommodating.

Yes, my Zheng family is just a small family, where can I

Tsk!

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 go." 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 corpses on the ground, and couldn't help but shudder.

If they don't agree with each other, they will draw their swords and kill without even saying anything extra.

Everyone returns 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.
