Chapter 153: Take over Jialing County and the people will be at peace!
Jialing County, Tongzhou City.

At this moment, the rebel army has surrounded Tongzhou, and the rebel army outside is surging like a tide, and it is unknown when they will attack.

At the same time, the city was filled with smoke, and the streets were filled with shouts and screams. The unrest was out of control.

Seeing this scene, the guard Yuan You standing on the top of the city wall had bloodshot eyes and a hideous look on his face. He clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, and he was heartbroken.

Why is it here?

You know, a week ago he was still a high-ranking general of a city, but just a few days later he was about to become a dead soul under the sword of the rebels.

The gap between before and after was hard for him to accept, and until now he still felt like it was a dream.

During this period, uprisings broke out in various cities in Jialing County one after another. The rebel army took advantage of this opportunity to attack the cities and capture the strongholds with great momentum. It can be said that they did not lose a single soldier.

Although there had been uprisings in Tongzhou City before, fortunately there were sufficient defenders in the city at that time, and he found the leader and killed him on the spot and suppressed the uprising.

But at that time he was far from realizing that the situation had deteriorated to this extent.

Now the entire Jialing City is almost falling into the hands of the rebels, except for his Tongzhou City which is still struggling.

However, his struggling efforts were nothing in the face of the rebels' overwhelming attack, and couldn't even cause a single ripple.

In his opinion before, Yangzhou was to the imperial court, and Jialing County was to Yangzhou, and the imperial court would never give up Yangzhou, the place where wealth was accumulated.

This is also the reason why he is still struggling to hold on until now. However, until now, there has been no sign of reinforcements.

In fact, when Tongzhou was the only city left in Jialing County that had not fallen, he already understood that the imperial court had given up Tongzhou City and the entire Jialing County.

Now, the densely packed rebel army outside the city completely cut off his hopes.

He stood on the city wall, overlooking the scene below. The rebel army was like an endless black tide, densely surrounding the city wall, with flags flying, swords flashing, and murderous intent.

Being surrounded like this, he has no way to escape. The only way left for him is the destruction of the city and the death of everyone.

No matter what, he could not be the one who abandoned the city and surrendered. If he died in battle, his family would be rewarded by the court and would not fall into decline all of a sudden.

Thinking of this, Yuan You's anger grew, and he shouted at the rebels below: "Kill!"

At this moment, he was defending the city not for the people, nor for the glory he had done, but just to maintain the rule of his family.

but--

Just as he finished speaking, a sharp feather arrow suddenly broke through the air, pierced through his armor and shot into his chest.

He groaned, his eyes filled with disbelief. He couldn't believe that this arrow didn't come from the rebels outside the city, but from inside the city.

Yuan You staggered back a few steps, and the scene in front of him became blurry. He tried to open his eyes wide, trying to see the situation around him clearly. At the moment he fell, he vaguely saw a steady stream of rioters rushing up to the top of the city wall, waving various weapons in their hands, with excited and angry expressions on their faces.

Then came a voice that made him die with regret:

"Everyone charge! The tyrant Yuan You is dead."

"Bah, that guy is finally dead. He has done all kinds of evil over the years. This is retribution."

"Brothers, open the city gates and welcome King Wu and the righteous army."

"Yes, let the righteous army kill all these corrupt officials in the court..."

……

The curses at this time even drowned out the noise of the battlefield and seemed particularly harsh.

Until the last moment, his eyes were still filled with shock. His shock was not because of anything else, but because he never expected that he would eventually die at the hands of the rioters whom he had looked down upon in the past.

Soon, the rioters rushed to the city wall and opened the city gate to welcome the rebels. Tongzhou City fell and became Lin Zhongyun's territory.

In fact, after Yuan You's death, most officers and soldiers gave up resistance, and no fierce fighting took place at all.

After all, even these officers and soldiers mostly came from poor families. If they had not joined the officers and soldiers, they would have long since joined the ranks of the rioters.

If they were not forced to do so, who would be willing to serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield? After all, those high-ranking officials would not want their descendants to die on the battlefield.

With the gate of Tongzhou city broken, the overall situation in Jialing County was settled.

Surrounded by the crowd, Lin Zhongyun climbed up the city wall and looked at Jianghua County opposite, feeling very satisfied.

After he captured Leling City, only less than a week later he had already captured the entire Jialing County. This was a brilliant achievement that had never been seen since the founding of Daqian.

Even when he decided to attack Jialing County from Anshan County, he had never thought of such an outcome. He really ignored the role of human hearts in the past, but now, he deeply realized this.

However, he changed his mind and thought that if he had not accumulated enough power before and his military strength was known to the world, even if he launched a call, such a big turmoil would not have broken out due to the prestige of the court, and he would not have been able to capture Jialing County so easily.

All of this can only be said to be the result of long-term accumulation and a natural outcome.

At this moment, the system's cold voice sounded again:

[It is detected that the host has completed a suggestion: take over the entire Yangzhou (Yangzhou is an arsenal...)]

[Mission Difficulty: FS]

[This task is a rating task, do you want to complete it immediately? ]

Lin Zhongyun didn't hesitate at all and chose not to complete it.

You know, they have just taken over Jialing County, and there are four other counties in Yangzhou. They are still a long way from taking over the entire Yangzhou.

What's more, Jialing County is just the beginning, his goal is the whole world.

In that case, he would have to truly take over the entire Yangzhou. Only then would the system's mission evaluation be high, and the high-level treasure chests rewarded would be useful to him.

Then he called up the system video upload interface in his mind and selected a few photos from a bunch of live pictures.

The first picture is a photo of the rebel army surrounding Tongzhou City.

At that time, the entire rebel army was mighty, with the sound of thunderous hooves from the galloping horses, truly demonstrating what elite soldiers and a battle-hardened army were.

For the second picture, he chose the turmoil in Tongzhou City. The people in the city took to the streets with weapons in hand, dragging the corrupt officials through the streets for a parade. At that time, everyone's face was filled with anger.

Everyone tried to throw whatever they had at corrupt officials to vent their dissatisfaction and express their deep hatred for the court.

In the crowd, an elderly man holding a worn-out stick trembled as he walked forward and smashed the stick with all his strength on the head of a corrupt official. His eyes were filled with tears, as if he was recalling the relatives who were forced to death by corrupt officials.

Who would do this unless they were forced into a desperate situation?

For the third photo, he thought about it and chose a scene in Shanfeng City where the people lined the streets to welcome the rebels.

That was the turning point of the entire situation in Jialing County. It was also because of Shanfeng City that he realized that the world had suffered from Daqian for a long time.

At that time, the people finally showed their long-lost smiles on their faces, which were smiles from the heart. Children cheered and jumped on the shoulders of adults, and women had tears in their eyes, as if they saw the dawn of hope.

For the fourth photo, he chose the scene where Leling City was revived at that time.

On the long street, vendors came and went, smoke filled the air, everyone was doing their job, doing their work. In the shops on both sides of the street, vendors were busy greeting customers, and children were playing on the street, their faces no longer showing the fatigue and fear of the past, and there was peace and tranquility.

In fact, this is the photo he is most satisfied with.

The so-called common people don't ask for much. They just want to live and work in peace and have a happy family.

For the fifth photo, he chose the scene where the Ansan County volunteers defended the city to the death.

In the picture, facing the thousands of arrows fired by the imperial court, the rebels still looked resolute and guarded the city fearlessly, making it impossible for Chu Yun to capture the city for a long time. This was also the reason why he dared to attack Jialing County unscrupulously.

Although he has been in Jialing County these days, he has actually been keeping an eye on the developments in Anshan County through his control skills.

Until now, Chu Yun is still attacking the city, and each attack is more fierce than the last.

It was obvious that even at this time Chu Yun still did not intend to retreat and was determined to capture Anshan County.

So the question is, what should he do next?
It is true that Jialing County has been captured, but winter is approaching. If we continue to advance into Yangzhou, we will inevitably expose the problem of food and grass shortage, which will inevitably involve huge risks.

But if he went back to support Anshan County at this time, it would mean handing over Jialing County, which he had just conquered, to others, which was even more unrealistic.

What to do next was a question he had to think about.

"Jialing County has been captured, and the imperial army has arrived in Yangzhou. Chu Yun still refuses to withdraw his troops from Anshan County. Should he continue to advance into Yangzhou, or should he hold on to Jialing County and return to Anshan County to provide assistance?"

After the input is completed, the video is uploaded directly.

In just a short moment, this video went viral, with the number of comments exceeding thousands and heading straight for tens of thousands.

It seems that the entire network is paying attention to his videos and the development of the battle.

"Jialing County was captured so quickly? And you still say it wasn't a blitzkrieg?"

"Brother, at this speed, can we still have a break? I guess I need to prepare some quick-acting heart pills next time."

"Jialing County is an important county in Yangzhou, and controls most of the mineral resources in Yangzhou. Now the pressure on the court and Chu Yun has been directly reduced."

"Hahahaha, it's so boring. I'm afraid the emperor will faint from anger when he hears the news."

"Well, I have to say that the loyalty of your rebel army is at its highest level. They are defending the city one after another."

"Yes, this is a team that has fought a hundred battles. Even if the head coach is not here, the combat effectiveness will not decrease. After this battle, these veterans have withdrawn and completed their transformation."

"Compared to the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, they are the so-called rotten fish and shrimp."

"Yes, the rebel army now looks like real imperial soldiers. But you still need to be careful. After all, Yangzhou is not far from Hanzhou, the capital of Daqian. The imperial court will definitely not let you do this.

Even if we have to mobilize troops from the border, we must completely eradicate the anchor, and the pressure will be great at that time."

……

Everyone was talking at once, some were analyzing the situation, and some were shocked by the bravery of the rebels.

at the same time.

[Shangguan Wolong: This is the effect of human hearts. Only this method can take over the entire Jialing County so quickly.

[However, the reason why people's hearts can play such a big role is because the righteous army was strong enough before, and there is already the example of Anshan County. Otherwise, it would not have such a good effect. ]

[I have the biggest head among all the turtles on the ground: That’s right, but Jialing County is already the limit, and the court will not continue to watch this. ]

[Cat Hair Processing Artist: Well, the imperial court will only send more reinforcements to encircle and suppress us. In addition, winter is approaching, so continuing to go deep into the enemy's territory is not a good option.]

[Lin Daiyu angrily beheaded Maitreya Buddha: This makes sense. In my opinion, the only way we can go now is to continue to advance. As you said before, the court will no longer tolerate the rebel army to continue to grow.

At this time, the imperial court will certainly gather troops and prepare to encircle and suppress the rebels. If we wait until their army arrives and everything is ready, it will be tantamount to a slow death. 】

[Pidan solo porridge: I wonder if you all know the saying that one strike is better than a hundred. The imperial court has been frightened by the rebels, and they will not take action until they are absolutely sure.

Only if we take over Yangzhou before they are fully prepared, we will have the initiative and advantage. 】

[Shangguan Wolong: Yes, until now people's hearts are still not available. More importantly, the rebel army has now taken over the entire Jialing County. It is at its peak, which is in sharp contrast to the court that has done nothing. At this time, if we can encourage people's hearts, the effect will be better.

Once we keep quiet, the psychological effect will be so good this time. 】

[Lin Daiyu angrily kills Maitreya Buddha: The most important thing for a large army to do in battle is morale. Only by taking down the entire Yangzhou in one go can the current dilemma be resolved. The most taboo thing is to defend the city, as that will only lead to decline and exhaustion.]

[I am confused: What about the food and grass problem? The more winter it is, the more important it is to ensure that there is enough food and grass, otherwise everything will be in vain. ]

[Shangguan Wolong: In the current situation, the rebel army is short of food and grass, but what about the imperial army? They will face the same dilemma as us, but we have already occupied Jialing County, and the food and grass we have obtained are enough to last for a while.

[As for the food and grass problem later, we can use war to support war. As long as we catch the imperial court off guard, everything will be easy afterwards.]

[The hair processing artist: Although it is very dangerous to go deeper, it seems that this is the only way to go at the moment. 】

[Pidan solo porridge: @满山猴My butt is the most popular, now is the time for you to come out, your whole day studying ancient Chinese texts will come in handy, come out and write a manifesto for the rebel army.

[This time, the people's hearts are not just in Yangzhou, but in the whole world. ]
