Chapter 51: The Rebel Army with High Morale

As soon as he thought of this possibility, Chen Wu couldn't help but grit his teeth and hate Chen Jinhui.

It was a perfect raid, and after capturing the West Gate and the Volunteer Battalion entering the city, he immediately blocked the four gates, which was enough to leave almost everyone behind. Who would have thought that just because of a few gold coins, Chen Jinhui's idiot would let go of so many people with status and a lot of wealth.

Just killed him with a knife, it's really cheap for him.

At this time, the leader of the rebel army who was in charge of leading the search rushed back, saluted and reported: "General, the entire Rong Mansion has been searched, and it is determined that no trace of Rong Shihao has been found, and his eldest son has also left." However, Rong Shihao's other family members are still there, and they are now locked up in the back garden. ”

"Well, then go ask them."

Chen Wu didn't have much hope in his heart, but after thinking about it, he decided to meet him. After all, that Mrs. Rong is still well-known in the game. Of course, it won't be a good reputation, but one of the few NPC ladies who can be hooked up with by players. According to the people in the game development team who got drunk, it was specially left for the welfare of the players?

Regarding this groundless but still spreading rumors, Chen Wu had no choice but to squint his eyes manually and make a funny expression.

Following the brick-paved path through the garden, Chen Wu entered the back garden under the escort of a group of rebels. Master Rong's concubines, maids, and the genuine Mrs. Rong were all driven here by the rebels. Because they didn't know what they would be treated next, these gorgeously dressed ladies turned pale one by one, and some even hid their faces and sobbed quietly.

"Where is the head of your household?"

Chen Wu glanced at them, and his gaze fell on Mrs. Rong, who was sitting in the center. Of these women, she is the only one who seems to be able to barely guarantee peace.

"Who are you?"

Mrs. Rong did not hide the anger and contempt in her heart, and asked Chen Wu rhetorically. It's just that a group of untouchables who should be hanged forcibly broke into the Rong Mansion, and they still talked to her with such a rude attitude, they simply didn't take her as a viscountess in their eyes.

"Bold, how dare you talk to our general like this!"

The rebel soldiers who were guarding had a lot of respect for Chen Wu, and they couldn't help but scold her loudly when they heard this.

Checkmate?

Mrs. Rong raised her chin and sneered disdainfully.

A thief who doesn't know which broken place in the countryside dares to call himself a general? It's a pitiful ignorance. Her hands folded in front of her lower abdomen, her brows furrowed, and her eyes had a pampered pride and even more bitterness—she didn't even pay attention to, or even look at, at the rebel soldier who scolded her.

"Madame!"

A lady next to her, who was good friends with her, called her worriedly, for fear that this lady would annoy these rude thieves, and the Rong Mansion was now under the control of others after all. In case these thieves get angry, they will be the ones who will suffer.

After being persuaded like this, Mrs. Rong, who had lost her mind a little, also realized that now the thief has the final say. pressed the gauze on his arm, turned his head sideways and shut up.

This attitude, which clearly looked down on them, made the nearby rebel soldiers ashamed. Chen Wu also has a little, but more of it feels strange. In the game, isn't this lady quite easy to hook up with?

However, this doubt was quickly answered by himself.

In the game, although the players entered Yicheng soon after leaving the novice village, few were able to enter the Rong Mansion. Only those who got the imperial title early can get in touch with Mrs. Rong relatively lightly. And in the eyes of this viscountess, even if the players have always had a bad reputation, they are still nobles, and they are of the same class as her. Chen Wu is now an out-and-out farmer!

Expect a noble lady from the Rong Mansion to speak well to a rebellious pariah?

Chen Wu suddenly lost interest, and turned his head to ask the same question to the lady next to him who reminded Mrs. Rong. This time, he got an answer. As guessed, as early as yesterday afternoon, Master Rong had secretly arranged to take a few henchmen out of the city.

"The news ......"

Chen Wu's face was a little cloudy.

This old man Rong has a friendship with the city guard of Longshan Mansion. As expected, he should have gone straight to Longshan after leaving the city yesterday. If you hurry up and go straight to Longshan overnight, I am afraid that at this moment, at most this afternoon, Longshan Mansion will be able to get the news that Yicheng has been captured by the rebels.

It was faster than he thought.

Although it is impossible for the Long Son Province to take immediate action after receiving the news, it will definitely take a few days to prepare for the counterinsurgency and investigate and collect information on the rebels, but in any case, the counterinsurgency officers and troops will arrive earlier than previously expected.

Chen Wu's original plan was to rectify it a little after capturing Yicheng. Seeing the response of Longshan Mansion, he raised troops to capture Lushan and Linxian, and then turned around to deal with Longshan Mansion. Now it seems that the second set of plans that he has made will be carried out. Based on Yicheng, the army first solved the first wave of the rebellion of the emperor, and then captured Lushan and Linxian.

There are two options, each with its own pros and cons. But since reality has helped him make a decision, there is no need to hesitate.

If done right, this plan may be better than the previous one.

"Let's go."

Chen Wu, who was anxious to go back to arrange, beckoned his subordinates and prepared to launch immediately after returning to the county office. After all, for the sake of his own black gauze hat, the city guard of Longshan Mansion will choose to put down the rebellion before the rebels make a big trouble. This means that there will not be a lot of time left for the rebels.

"General, they?"

Sun Tian next to him looked at Mrs. Rong and them hesitantly, and there seemed to be an inquiry in his words.

Chen Wu stopped in his footsteps and turned to look at him: "What, you kid has taken a fancy to you?" Also, they are already half a year old, so they should know how to find a woman. ”

"No, no, no." Being teased by Chen Wu, Sun Tian's face turned red all of a sudden, and he quickly denied his words, and said awkwardly: "I mean, doesn't the general need to ......?"

In the end, he is still thin-skinned, and the words behind him are just unspeakable, and he is sweating.

"Who taught you this?"

Chen Wu was a little funny, according to the memories he had received, Sun Tian definitely belonged to the kind of late-maturing and not very open to women, where did he hear these nonsense things.

"Listen to the nonsense of the people below...... Hey. ”

Seeing that Chen Wu didn't seem to be angry, Sun Tian scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Alright, don't think about it all day, and have the energy to put it on the men who trained you." Chen Wu reprimanded him lightly and patted him on the shoulder.

As for this Mrs. Rong, her arrogance and self-esteem can only last for a few days. As the rebels took away all the grain, gold and silver of the Rong Mansion, the Rong Mansion, which was only an empty shell, would sooner or later fall to the point of being at the same level as the broken settlement. Chen Wu wanted to know what kind of expression this noble lady would have when the Empire's counterinsurgency army was defeated, and this noble lady lost hope of maintaining her position and became a pariah who was once not regarded by her.

I guess it's going to be fun.

………

mastered the county government's treasury, coupled with the fact that he copied the big families in the county, so that Chen Wu had a considerable amount of wealth in his hands. If you change to an uninformed anti-thief leader and suddenly get such a large sum of money, you will be greedy and greedy. But as a player, Chen Wu had a great vision, and after completing the inventory of the Rong Mansion, he immediately sent the money down, fulfilling the promise made to the rebels before the siege - the infantry battalion and the horse team were rewarded with twenty gold coins each, the infantry army was rewarded with fifteen gold coins each, and the volunteer battalion was rewarded with ten gold coins per person!

These rewards alone used up seven or eight thousand gold coins, but they allowed Chen Wu to brush up on his prestige again.

For a time, the morale of all the units of the rebel army was high, and everyone was talking about the generosity and trustworthiness of General Tiangong. After all, everyone wants to follow a leader who will benefit them.

Being able to do this in a short period of time, Chen Wu can already say that he has done a very good job, but he is still a little dissatisfied. After a little silence, he ordered ten sets of leather armor and swords to be taken out from the arsenal. He was going to hold a reward ceremony and personally distribute these armor weapons to the rebels who had fought bravely in the previous attack on Yicheng reported by each team.

This ritual may seem cliché, but it is necessary.

What do the superiors rely on to buy people's hearts? There are many ways to do this, but the most intuitive and effective one is to show that you value and give out rewards. Needless to say, the importance of a protective gear and weapon to a soldier is not to be mentioned, after receiving this, and distributing it in front of everyone, with a sense of honor, these ten brave rebels will inevitably be grateful to Chen Wu and their loyalty to him will soar.

For this reason, Chen Wu not only prepared to do it, but also instructed Sun Tian to take charge of it, and the operation was more grand.
