Jiaoping District.
"Don't worry. Speak slowly. You're a man. Why are you crying? You're so girly."
The leader of the Tsing Yi Army in Jiaoping District called himself General Pingtian. He was one of the leaders of the Tsing Yi Army.
When he received a message from a soldier saying that there were companions from Chengan District outside the district and they kept repeating the news of General Cangtian's death, he was horrified. He quickly asked his men to welcome the members of the Tsing Yi Army. At first glance, they were really General Cangtian's subordinates.
General Pingtian thought about it and hurriedly asked these people about the details of General Cangtian's death.
Who would have thought that as soon as he opened his mouth, these people were already crying their eyes out. Their faces were smeared with snot and tears. In addition, they hadn't washed themselves for many days, so their faces were stained with something. They looked very dirty and pathetic, and anyone who saw them would feel disgusted.
"General Cangtian … General Cangtian was killed by a group of people. They even snatched Chengan District and swaggered in. They drove our brothers out … General Cangtian died unjustly …" The crying leader of the Tsing Yi Army was the subordinate who had previously flattered General Cangtian. In order to escape, he could not bear to leave the good days of the Tsing Yi Army, so he could only seek refuge with his "accomplice".
Has Chengan District been breached?
Hearing the news, General Pingtian of Jiaoping District was frightened. He hurriedly asked for details.
"Brother, don't cry. Tell me first, which bastard killed Brother Cangtian? How many people did he bring? "
Chengan District was very close to Jiaoping District. It would only take a little more than a day to reach there on foot. Since the enemy had conquered Chengan District, it was hard to guarantee that they would not target Jiaoping District. If they turned around and waved their troops, he had to at least know the details of the enemy and be mentally prepared.
Hearing General Pingtian's concern, the leaders of the Tsing Yi Army, who had abandoned General Cangtian's corpse and fled, cried even more sadly.
They held the only emotional card firmly, hoping to get a good position here with the little favor left by General Cangtian.
They miserably described Jiang Pengji and her men as particularly abominable. They tried their best to beautify General Cangtian's noble image and described how the general sacrificed himself for others to delay the invading army, so that his brothers could have precious time to escape.
Hearing these compliments, General Pingtian secretly curled his lips in disdain. According to his understanding of General Cangtian, how could he not know his temperament? If he could abandon his subordinates in exchange for his own life, he would definitely do it by hook or by crook. How could he sacrifice himself for others?
However, it was not appropriate for him to say this out loud. He also revealed a rather moved and sad expression, matching the other party's acting skills.
After a long time, General Pingtian finally found out who had conquered Chengan District.
"Xiangyang District … This is not easy. That's a tough nut to crack. No one has been able to crack it for half a year."
The Tsing Yi Army only knows how to plunder, how would they know how to build?
No matter how good the cards were, when they fell into their hands, they could only play out the worst situation.
Chengan District had been destroyed to such an extent that they were so poor that they couldn't even find a grain of rice.
General Pingtian knew how to restrain himself. He did not drive the people of Jiaoping District to a dead end in one go. However, he still took advantage of them from time to time and plundered them again and again. The people were miserable and there were often people who wanted to escape.
General Pingtian did not know about other things, but he knew that there were no commoners in the district city. There was only the Tsing Yi Army left. In that case, how could he still be considered a general?
Therefore, he cracked down on any attempt to escape and captured all the commoners who had escaped.
However, life forced the commoners. Even if they risked being killed by the Tsing Yi Army, there were still commoners who tried to escape.
In the face of this phenomenon, General Pingtian was of course so angry that he gritted his teeth. At the same time, he was even more envious of the nearby Xiangyang District.
However, the district city was as tough as a tortoise's shell. It was not easy to go anywhere.
Hearing that Xiangyang District had taken the initiative to attack Chengan District, General Pingtian was extremely flustered.
"Do you know how many people they brought to Chengan District?"
General Pingtian was secretly anxious. He was afraid that Jiang Pengji's next target would be him. He had not enjoyed the prestige of being a general enough.
"About six or seven thousand … Maybe a lot more than that …" the leader of the Tsing Yi Army answered cautiously. Of course, he did not know the exact number. He only guessed based on his feelings. How could there be a small number of people if they could conquer Chengan District so easily?
Little did he know that it was precisely his nonsense that made General Pingtian develop greedy thoughts that he should not have.
"Six or seven thousand?" General Pingtian asked in surprise, "Are you sure there are so many?"
"There … There should be. There are too many thieves, so I can't distinguish them at the moment …"
The leader of the Tsing Yi Army secretly pinched the corner of his clothes. He was extremely nervous.
"Six or seven thousand … The total number of troops in Xiangyang District is less than ten thousand …"
General Pingtian's heart trembled. A bold idea shrouded his heart. He was so excited that he could not even hold his things steadily.
If the people in Xiangyang District really sent six or seven thousand troops to attack Chengan District, it meant that there were at most three or four thousand troops guarding Xiangyang District. It would be a fool's dream if they wanted to defend the huge Xiangyang District with such a small number of troops.
Perhaps … he could take advantage of it?
General Pingtian was very clear about the situation in Chengan District. It was a super big mess. It could definitely entangle Jiang Pengji and the others so that they would have no time to take care of the situation in Xiangyang District. In this way, the rear of Xiangyang District would be empty.
However, thinking of the losses that the Tsing Yi Army suffered in Xiangyang District last year, General Pingtian did not dare to let his guard down.
If he wanted to conquer the city as soon as possible, he had to have sufficient troops.
Taking advantage of the fact that the rear of Xiangyang District was empty and the main force was delayed by Chengan District, he could take a gamble!
Even if those people reacted, Xiangyang District would have already changed hands. When the main force rushed to the city, it would be of no help.
Thinking of this, General Pingtian's heart was burning. Originally, he only wanted to take 60% of the troops to raid Xiangyang District, but now he could not wait to take all the troops away and conquer Xiangyang District as soon as possible. He could not help but think of the shocked and resentful expression of Jiang Pengji's main force.
Thinking of this, he comforted General Cangtian's old subordinates with a gentle voice. He was in a good mood.
Although General Pingtian looked down on General Cangtian's fat body and stupid brain, he also wanted to annex the old subordinates left behind by General Cangtian. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. If he could absorb the Tsing Yi Army that was under General Cangtian's control, his power could expand again.
General Pingtian asked, "Apart from you, are there any other brothers who survived?"
The leader of the Tsing Yi Army answered miserably, "Only a few hundred brothers were lucky enough to escape. The rest were all killed."
Some of them fled to Jiaoping District, while the rest fled to Maolin District.
General Pingtian was shocked. He was afraid that the Tsing Yi Army in Maolin District would also think that Xiangyang District was empty and run to take advantage of the situation.
A sense of crisis arose.
He patted the shoulder of General Cangtian's old subordinate and said indignantly, "General Cangtian and I were comrades. He was killed by the traitors. How can I not avenge him as a brother? Don't worry. I'll summon the troops and destroy the traitors' lair! "
