The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1608 Lower Weinan County
After the battle of Liyi Town, there were only four hundred soldiers left in the Baijin Army.The priests of the Dali Military Region were also wounded.

On the way from Liyi Town to Weinan County, although Ling Chengzhi and others kept calling on the accompanying civilians to join the army, they had little effect.

As most of them have family members who need to protect them, it is difficult to make a decision to join the ranks against the Yuan Dynasty.

Ling Chengzhi and the others had nothing to do about it.

There are more than [-] defenders in Weinan County.

In fact, it was not a good time to attack Weinan County, but they had no other choice in the face of the possibility that the Yuan army would catch up soon.

Now, both the soldiers of the Baijin Army and the common people urgently need a place to take root.According to Liu Zhuwen's previous meaning, Weinan County is the best place to station.

Before arriving here in Weinan County, Xi Gaoxuan and Xu Mukun had already dispatched a Shangyuan Realm priest to report to Lantian County.

With them here, it is not a problem to win Weinan County.However, it may not be enough to protect Weinan County.

Because the Yuan army already knew that they existed in the Baijin army, if they came to attack, there would inevitably be experts who were not weaker than them in the army.

Although the Green Forest Camp was injured when they followed Boyan and others to attack the Song Dynasty, until now, the background and strength are still quite strong.

If he wanted to defend Weinan County, he had to inform Liu Zhuwen to send someone to support him as soon as possible.And this was also Liu Zhuwen's original plan.

He was in Lantian, and the Baijin army was in Weinan. There was no need to cross the territory occupied by the Yuan army on the way, and it was still possible to wait and see and rush to help.

At this moment, the battle taking place under the head city of Weinan County is not earth-shattering, but it is quite eye-catching.

Because Xi Gaoxuan, Xu Mukun and other priests from the Dali Military Region were almost all dispatched.

After they and the Baijin Army arrived at the base of the city, Xi Gaoxuan led the Priests from the Shangyuan Realm to plunder the top of the city.Xu Mukun darted towards the city gate alone.

The defenders of Weinan County only had two hundred Shenlong guns, and they didn't even have a projectile launcher. They were intimidated by Xi Gaoxuan and Xu Mukun's artistic conception, so they couldn't pose any threat to these extremely fast priests.

Just when the battle started, Xu Mukun used the long sword in his hand to forcibly split the city gate.

Then his figure swept straight into the corridor.

The Yuan army behind the corridor was all shrouded in artistic conception, unable to move.

Xu Mukun rushed into the crowd and beheaded them wantonly.

"kill!"

Seeing this scene outside the city, Ling Chengzhi was very excited. He held up the dragon gun in his hand, and led all the soldiers of the Baijin Army to rush into the city.

Xi Gaoxuan, the head of the city, and others also spared no effort to eliminate those defenders.

In just a short time, the head of the general defending the city was held by Xi Gaoxuan.

He and all the Shangyuan realm priests stopped their hands one after another. The eyes of the remaining defenders were full of fear, and they didn't dare to have the slightest thought of rebellion. They all knelt down and begged for surrender.

The entire Weinan County battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour.

After the defenders surrendered, Ling Chengzhi ordered the soldiers of the Bai Jin Army to disarm the defenders.Then let the people outside enter the city.

The dusty people of Sanyuan City poured into the city head one after another.

The brief war at the top of the city did not even cause much trouble to the people in the city.

On the contrary, the commotion caused by the people of Sanyuan City entering the city was even greater.

For a while, the streets of Weinan County were overcrowded.

Some of the people from Sanyuan City had relatives and friends in Weinan County, and they rushed to take their families to join them.

Ling Chengzhi, Xi Gaoxuan and the others took the soldiers of the Bai Jin Army and escorted the soldiers to the government office.

The county magistrate of Weinan County obviously didn't know that Xi Gaoxuan and others were with the Baijin Army. When the Baijin Army broke through the city, he was still discussing matters with the officials of Weinan County in the government office.

In fact, it was a matter of discussion, but it was better to say that they were not completely sure that they could stop the Bai Jin army, and they gathered together to prepare to leave the city at any time.

But who would have thought that Bai Jinjun could break through the city in such a short period of time?
So when Ling Chengzhi and others led the army to Defu Yamen, they happened to bump into the officials of Weinan County who were about to leave in a hurry.

These low-ranking officials looked at the Bai Jinjun surrounded by the government yamen, as well as those dejected soldiers, and all of them changed their faces in an instant.

No one dared to take half a step out of the government office.

The catchers and soldiers standing at the gate of the government office did not dare to act rashly.

Pointed at by the soldiers of the Baijin Army with the Shenlong Gun, they were afraid that if they made any movement, they would be shot through their heads by bullets.

Ling Chengzhi walked to the front, shouted at the officials in official robes and asked, "Who is in charge?"

Chai Shang, the magistrate of Weinan County, is about 50 years old, with a small beard.It's hard to tell whether it's a good person or a bad person. It's not a big traitor, but it can't be said to be upright.

He should belong to the rather mediocre kind among Yuan Dynasty officials.

Seeing Ling Chengzhi with evil eyes ask this sentence, he took two trembling steps forward, and cupped his hands at Ling Chengzhi and said: "Chai Shang, magistrate of Weinan County, met the general!"

He seemed rather humble.Of course, this is purely out of fear.

The names of these people are all in the hands of Bai Jinjun.And whether Bai Jinjun will kill them all depends on Ling Chengzhi's will.

Chai Shang still had some sharp eyesight, and he could tell that Ling Chengzhi was the leader of Bai Jinjun.Because, only Ling Chengzhi was wearing the armor of the commander level.

Ling Chengzhi looked at him with his head held high, and said, "From now on, Weinan County belongs to our Baijin army!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

All the officers and soldiers of the Bai Jin Army shouted excitedly.

This made De Chai Shang and the others pale even more.

"Yes, yes, yes, from now on, the only general in Weinan County will follow the lead." Chai Shang didn't dare to be dissatisfied, and nodded in agreement like a chicken pecking at rice.

He obviously has a lot of fun.

Ling Chengzhi nodded in satisfaction, glanced at Xi Gaoxuan, and then said to Chai Shang: "Then you go and announce all the officials in the city to the government office immediately, the general has something to explain to them!"

These are what Xi Gaoxuan taught him.

Chai Shang didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, and quickly ordered the county captain next to him who was also preparing to leave Weinan with his family.

The county lieutenant beckoned a few arresters to run away, Ling Chengzhi motioned for a few Bai Jin soldiers to follow them.Then he and Xi Gaoxuan and others lined up a group of officials and walked towards the government office.

Chai Shang and the others were all downcast, as if they were in mourning, but they had no choice but to follow behind obediently.

In the main hall of Defu Yamen, Ling Chengzhi let Xi Gaoxuan and Xu Mukun sit at the top, and he himself sat at the bottom.

Chai Shang and other senior officials didn't even dare to sit down, they just stood awkwardly.

Their family members stood outside the lobby, not even daring to enter.

Ling Chengzhi looked at them, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Let your family members go back to their houses! Those gold, silver and jewelry will be used as military pay for our Bai Jinjun."

Looking at the big bags and small bags of Chai Shang's family, including a dozen or so carriages, Ling Chengzhi thought with his ass that there must be a lot of treasure inside.

However, the salary in the Yuan Dynasty was not high, so it is conceivable where these treasures came from.

This was an extremely common situation in the Yuan Dynasty.

Over the years of the Yuan Dynasty, the corruption situation was even more serious than that of the Song Dynasty.Officials in the DPRK and China have no beliefs, and few people become officials not for money.

Selling officials and nobles was also very common in the Yuan Dynasty.

Chai Shang and the others turned even paler, but they didn't dare to say a word.

Under their scolding, the children left in a hurry.Outside the lobby, many treasures were left behind.

Not long after, the county lieutenant also came in with some officials.So far, all influential officials in Weinan County have arrived.

As soon as he entered the room, Ling Chenghua shouted at them: "Don't kneel down yet!"

All the officials including Chai Shang knelt down in unison.

Someone cried: "General, spare your life! General, spare your life!"

Ling Chengzhi said quietly: "Don't worry, Ben has no intention of taking your lives. As long as you are honest and take good care of this Weinan County for Ben, and hand over all your greedy things over the years, Ben will save your lives Worry-free. Also, may I ask who is the magistrate?"

An old man raised his head and said, "General, I'm next."

Ling Chengzhi said: "I will hand over the situation of the bank and grain depots in the county to the general later!"

From Sanyuan City to here, he has not paid the soldiers of the Bai Jin Army yet.Now that Weinan County has been taken down, it is time to pay the soldiers.

Although these Bai Jinjun soldiers all followed him voluntarily, in the final analysis, an army that couldn't even afford military pay would definitely not last long.

Although Ling Chengzhi didn't know how long he could hold onto Weinan County, but no matter what, he had to get the gold, silver, food and grass in Weinan County first.

Anyway, they didn't snatch these from the people, and they didn't take them for nothing.
