Chapter 15 Shenxiao Rebel Army!
  Under the leadership of Li Ping'an, the rebel army marched toward Qingpu County in mighty force.

People in Qingpu County were dumbfounded after hearing the news. Aren't the emotional rebels still on their feet? Didn't they invite squires from all over the country to negotiate?

Even if they couldn't reach an agreement, they wouldn't send troops to attack the city so quickly, right?
  However, when a group of squires received the news, they were all furious.

Because the rebel army has already sent troops, none of the negotiators sent by various families to negotiate in Pingdong Town have returned!
  What does this mean?
  This shows that the rebels are going to break up with them!
  At first, a group of squires could not believe that the rebels were so lawless.

But when the people sent out to explore the news came back and found out that the rebel army only had 5,000 troops, including many old, weak, women and children...

The expressions of all the squires changed and became very exciting!

With this little strength, how dare they?
  Didn't you think that such indiscriminate killing would cause the entire Chizhou Prefecture's squires to unite, making it difficult for the rebels to move forward?
  The squires felt insulted.

Several large landowners around Pingdong Town immediately united and prepared to teach the rebels an unforgettable lesson.

The squires who usually fight against each other and live for nothing have rarely reached unity on the issue of the rebels.

Those who had money provided money, those who had food provided food, and those who had people provided people. It didn't take long for them to arm a militia team of thousands of people.

The idea of ​​the squires is very simple. With these militiamen on the alert, they can immediately go to that city to provide support when the rebels attack.

The custody makes it difficult for these mud-legged people to move even an inch!

As the main battlefield, Qingpu County also received real financial support from local gentry.

With money in hand, the county magistrate mobilized a 3,000-strong city defense force within ten days.

The city defense troops and militiamen were gearing up, waiting for the rebels to arrive.

The boss said that as long as a rebel is killed, the court will award one tael of silver, and the squire will award another one tael of silver!
  The wages of avarice is death.

With their backs to the city, waiting for work, and dealing with a group of rebels who didn't even have decent armor, the money was no different than what they picked up for free!
  ……

With the eager anticipation of many forces, the rebel army finally arrived outside Qingpu City.

The Qingpu City Wall is eight meters high and thick throughout. Although the stones have weathered in many places, it is still very strong.

Li Anguo rode his horse and glanced at the Qingpu City standing not far away. He turned to Li Ping'an and said, "Ping'an, how should we attack the city? Should we stop first and make some siege equipment on the spot? "

Since becoming the leader of the rebel army, Li Anguo has often read some military books written by masters of military art in past dynasties.

Seeing that what he learned in the book was finally put to use, Li Anguo hurriedly volunteered and said: "It just so happens that I have learned how to make siege ladders, and there are many craftsmen in our team..."

"Why don't you lead a large army to camp and rest, while I lead a small team and take the craftsmen to the mountains to the north to cut wood and make engineering tools!"

Do you think siege is just about building a ladder and climbing a wall?

Li Ping'an felt a little slanderous in his heart, but he didn't say much and said calmly: "No need, I'll be right back!"

Li Anguo: "???"

He just watched helplessly as Li Ping'an jumped into the air and covered several thousand meters in just a few ups and downs.

The towering city wall that ordinary people would never dare to imagine seemed to not exist in front of him, and he could easily climb over it.

Not long after, a cry of killing came from the city wall.

The sound came and went even faster. After about a stick of incense, the rebels suddenly discovered that the closed gate of Qingpu City opened with a bang...

Seeing Li Ping'an standing on the tower waving to him, the entire rebel army went numb.

Recalling the previous experience of being surrounded and suppressed by the imperial army, they didn't even know whether they should cry or laugh at this moment. It only took one day for the rebel army to capture Qingpu County.

After entering the city, Li Ping'an ordered the rebels not to disturb ordinary people, let alone plunder by banditry.

Violators will be killed without mercy!

This order is difficult to implement for ordinary military generals.

After all, brothers follow you through life and death in order to conquer cities and territories, gain promotions, and become masters.

How can anyone conquer a city without making any mistakes?
  But the rebels did not dare to disobey Li Ping'an's orders.

Because strictly speaking, Li Ping'an captured the city single-handedly. All they did was to enter the city and end it without shedding blood or sweat.

In addition, the rebels have already seen Li Ping'an's unmoving and thunderous behavior. How dare they dare to violate Li Ping'an's actions under his nose?
  Because the rebels entered the city so fast, the wealthy households did not even receive the news that the city gate had been lost, and they were still dreaming of cleaning up the rebels!

When Li Ping'an appeared in the city with his army, they had no place to escape.

Soon, most of the wealthy households in Qingpu City who were on the list were arrested. Li Ping'an ordered them to be hung in the street, allowing the oppressed civilians around them to decide how to deal with them.

At first, the people didn't know what kind of medicine the rebels were selling in their gourds.

Therefore no one dared to stand up.

But after Li Ping'an beheaded the Huang family master who had oppressed the people and colluded with bandits and trafficked people in full view of the public, the crowd suddenly became indignant.

Countless people pointed at the rich and cursed.

The anger that burst out at that moment really made me want to eat his blood and eat his flesh.

……

On this day, the blood of the unkind landlords in Qingpu County almost stained the entire street red.

It’s really crowded!
  When the people of Qingpu City discovered that after the rebels entered the city, they not only did not plunder like other soldiers and bandits, but also killed the landlords who were oppressing them, which made them feel bad, and they immediately became interested.

But because the contact period was still short, the common people did not dare to deal with the rebels.

Li Ping'an is not in a hurry about this.

At this moment, he was listening to Cheng Yang, Wu Yong and others reporting on the results of this battle.

It's just a small county town. The money and food collected by the rebels from the wealthy households in Qingpu County is enough to recruit 5,000 rebels and expand it to 50,000!
  Hearing this number, Li Pingan nodded.

After occupying the basic base, the rebels had supplies of food and grass, and their morale was greatly boosted.

Li Ping'an didn't give them much rest time. On the fifth day after entering the city, he led his troops and horses to set off again, heading to the other two counties in a mighty manner.

These wealthy landowners are all extremely fat. If you don't act quickly and let them run away, you will lose a lot of money.

Half a month later, the Daqian court was shaken, and the world looked at him with suspicion!

Everyone was shocked to find that the Chizhou rebels, who had been almost extinguished, had grown like an inexhaustible wildfire. They not only occupied Pingdong Town, but also successively captured the three counties of Qingpu, Dahe, and Chixia, aiming directly at Chizhou. State capital!

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, and the age of Jiazi will bring good luck to the world!"

That is to say, in the same year, the rebels who had become so popular finally stopped keeping a low profile, held high the banner of rebellion, and called themselves the 'Shenxiao Rebels'!
