Then a group of bandits dressed in various uniforms attacked.
No soldier thought of resisting at all. These garrisons had long been useless. The soldiers in the garrisons would report for duty every day and then go home to farm. Now they encountered the bandit army that killed people without blinking an eye. How could they have the courage to resist?
"Oh, oh, the noble family!" General Wang remembered that the noble family had private soldiers, and quickly turned his head and ran in another direction. Little did he know that the team of rebels looked at his fleeing back coldly, and then blew a whistle.
In Huaiyang City, the Ji and Sun families are the largest and richest. They both have people serving in the court, but they don't know that their nephews and nephews in the court have been beheaded by the Xuan Jing Division.
General Wang ran into the gate of the Ji family. Before he could explain what happened, a large number of rebels rushed in and the Ji family servants fell directly into a pool of blood without any preparation.
"The Heavenly King has commanded! Put down your weapons, hold your heads, and squat! I'll spare your lives!" someone shouted, followed by dozens of others shouting in unison. The sound spread throughout the Ji Clan. After killing several resisting warriors, the already wavering servants crouched on the ground. General Wang stared in amazement at the bandits who had just surrounded and killed a warrior. Something was wrong; their coordination was clearly the kind of military tactician one would find! General Wang looked again at their weapons. Although their attire varied, they all carried standard swords!
A terrible thought came to my mind.
Wang Shouhe opened his mouth: "Emperor..." Before he could utter the next word, a streak of blood appeared on his neck, and a shrill voice rang out in his ears: "General Wang, these people are collecting salaries without working, bullying men and women, and seizing land. We have been ordered to take your heads."
The last thing Wang Shouhe saw was a white-faced man in dirty clothes looking at him with a smile.
The Hu family also discovered the same thing. These rebels seemed to hate the aristocratic families and killed them as soon as they entered the house, but they only killed those who resisted. Then they plundered them wantonly. Finally, they were still dissatisfied and simply kidnapped the young masters of the Ji and Hu families, threatening to demand ransom from both families before releasing them.
These rebel armies were very fast at robbing. They seemed to know that the common people had little money, so they targeted the wealthy families in the city, looting their gold, silver and treasures and kidnapping their hostages, just like well-trained bandits.
Not long after they left the city, the imperial court's Feixiong Army arrived. They first arranged for people to take over the city defense, then posted notices to appease the people, and even distributed some money and food to them.
Fang Zhiyi looked coldly at the kneeling Hu Taishou: "Are you saying that when the enemy army came, you and Wang Shouhe were still drinking and having fun?"
Hu Taishou was sweating profusely: "General, you know, there has been no fighting in the South for several days. We really didn't expect..."
Fang Zhiyi gave a look, and someone threw Wang Shouhe's head in front of Hu Taishou.
Governor Hu was terrified.
Fang Zhiyi cleared his throat and said, "Let me ask you something. Which noble families participated in the enthronement of the King of Dai as emperor?"
