Chapter 12 Rebel Army

Hearing Li Ping'an say that the rebels would come to their door tomorrow, Cheng Yang and Wu Yong had different reactions.

Because Wu Yong joined halfway, he didn't know much about Li Ping'an's style of doing things. He was completely confused when he heard these confusing words.

But Cheng Yang was different.

The two grew up together since childhood.

Cheng Yang knew very well how his junior brother behaved.

If you don't make a sound, it's enough. If you make a big splash, you won't fight an unprepared battle at all.

Therefore, no matter how incredible this thing is, it is still quite convincing when it comes from his mouth.

However, he thought quietly for a long time, but he couldn't figure out the reason.

The Chizhou River Rebel Army has been surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court many times. The current situation can be said to be extremely dangerous. If nothing else, there is a bandit-suppressing army stationed outside Pingdong Town. How can they take the initiative to run past and throw themselves into a trap?
  Li Ping'an didn't explain this either.

That night, he went alone to the place where Daqian's army was stationed outside the town. Half a quarter of an hour later, even in Pingdong Town more than ten miles away, blazing fires could be seen in the military camp.

Facts have proved that Li Ping'an was not aimless.

Before dawn the next day, the leader of the rebel army came over with five thousand rebel troops.

They say they are rebels, but in fact the majority of the team are still disheveled refugees with sallow faces and skinny muscles. Each of them holds tattered weapons and is prepared to fight to the death with the imperial court with the determination to die.

They received a tip last night that the Southern Army camp stationed outside Pingdong Town was on fire. After repeatedly confirming that it was not a drama staged by the court, the rebel leader immediately decided to take this opportunity to attack the camp.

After all, the rebels were almost out of ammunition and food under the heavy encirclement and suppression by the imperial court. They finally got a once-in-a-lifetime fighter opportunity, and there was no reason to give up.

But looking at the already dead silence of the imperial military camp, almost all the rebels had blank expressions.

The leader of the rebel army sent people to carefully enter the camp to investigate, but found that in addition to the scorch marks of the fire, there were messy footprints everywhere in the camp.

It looked as if...as if the soldiers in the camp had seen a ghost. The footprints showed that they were scrambling and running away in all directions.

what happened?

If there is a fire in the camp, shouldn't the first reaction after discovering it be to put out the fire?

You must know that Pingdong is really the throat of several surrounding counties. Even if 30,000 elite troops were transferred away before, there are still 20,000 left to guard it.

This is a total of 20,000 people. Even if it is just one person's spit, no matter how big the fire is, it can be put out.

How could he abandon the camp and become a deserter?

No matter how stupid the leader of the rebel army is, he still noticed something abnormal when he saw such an abnormal situation.

However, it didn't take long for his question to be answered... In the middle of the dilapidated camp, a young man with tightly tied hair and wearing a black robe was sitting cross-legged on the ground and taking a nap.

The young man does not look very old, but he is quite handsome and masculine.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that around him, there are hundreds of corpses lying in random directions, and in the center of the corpses lies a broken flagpole.

The leader of the rebel army recognized this thing as the flag of the southern army.

When seeing this scene, all the rebels involuntarily took a breath of cold air.

Young people, Taoist robes...

The combination of the two words reminds people of the young man who stirred up the world during this period.

Lord Shenxiao!

Thinking that the harmless-looking young man in front of him might be the legendary killer, the leader of the rebel army felt cold sweat breaking out all over his body.

However, after much hesitation, he still chose to bravely walk up to Li Ping'an, leaned down and bowed respectfully, and then said: "I, Li Anguo, have met Mr. Dao!"

Hearing this, Li Ping'an raised his head and glanced at him in surprise, and said, "Your name is Li Anguo? Who are you, Li Gui from Fengcheng County?" How does Shenxiao Daojun know his father's name?
  Li Anguo was doubtful, but he still saluted respectfully: "It's my father!"

Li Ping'an suddenly stood up and said: "Brother!"

Li Anguo: "?"

He was stunned.

Not to mention him, even Cheng Yang and Wu Yong who had just arrived were stunned on the spot.

Li Ping'an didn't show off, and said directly: "I am Ping'an!"

When he heard the word 'Ping An', Li Anguo felt as if he was struck by lightning. After a while, he said with a bit of disbelief: "Ping An... are you Ping An?"

Li Pingan nodded.

Li Anguo took two steps back, came to his senses, and rushed forward again. After looking at Li Ping'an several times, he said, "Brother, you are still alive!"

Li Ping'an also didn't expect that the leader of the rebel army in Chizhou turned out to be his own brother.

Of course, it sounds outrageous.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not completely impossible.

Li Ping'an glanced at the rebels behind him, then at Pingdong Town not far away, and said, "This is not the place to talk. Why don't you follow me to Pingdong Town and settle down before we talk?"

Li Anguo nodded when he heard this and said: "That's very good, that's very good!"

After taking two steps, he suddenly felt something was wrong, stopped and widened his eyes and said: "Wait... go to Pingdong Town to settle down?
  Li Ping'an nodded: "I heard that I am here. The army stationed in Pingdong Town ran away last night. Now we just need to take over!"

Li Anguo: "..."

He just felt dizzy. He never dreamed that he would one day go to the military town where the imperial army was stationed to settle down in broad daylight.

……

When the rebel army entered Pingdong Town, many people in Pingdong Town thought they were insurgent.

You must know that yesterday Pingdong Town was the most tightly controlled military barrier controlled by the Daqian court. However, just one night passed and everything was reversed.

The rebels actually entered the city through the main entrance with great arrogance?
  After many well-informed people made inquiries, they finally figured out the cause of this phenomenon...it turned out to be just because of one person.

If it were normal, I am afraid that both the common people and the Jianghu people would sneer at it. After all, how can one person shake the thousands of troops of the imperial court?
  However, when the person's name was found out this time, everyone was silent.

Because that person is called Lord Shenxiao!

It is the most popular martial arts myth recently.

On the way into the city, Li Ping'an also found out what was going on at home over the years.

It turned out that after sending him away, his father Li Gui was forcibly ordered to go to Chizhou Prefecture to build river embankments not long after. That was that year, because the court did not pay salaries to the civilian workers who built the river embankments.

Thousands of civilians took the lead in the strike.

Seeing this situation, the imperial court did not stop doing anything, and simply named them as rebels and killed them indiscriminately.

As a result of this killing, the desperate people who lost their livelihood really rebelled.

Cheap daddy Li Gui had already foreseen the chaos that might break out because he had read some books when he was young, and wrote a letter in advance asking his wife and children to come to Chizhou.

Anyway, if one person rebels, the entire clan will be implicated, so there is no way out if they get on this boat.

And Li Anguo also stepped into the position of leader of the rebel army with the guidance and support of his cheap father.

 Thank you for the recommendation votes of Muyu Risong, Hazy Future, Diverse Taixu... I still feel a little cold, please give me some data to slap you in the face!
