In the Earth Temple in the county town, hundreds of people gathered here were extremely anxious at this time. They had already discussed yesterday to open the east gate while the bandits were attacking the city. But now the bandits and officers and soldiers are fighting fiercely, but Old Man Liu, who is the person in charge, has not shown up yet.
Some impatient people found Old Man Liu's home, only to find that his home was empty. They didn't know where the old man had gone.
"Folks, we can't wait any longer. Although Mr. Liu has not come, we can still act according to the plan." The speaker at the scene was blacksmith Tao Cheng, who was also one of the two principals elected yesterday. At this time, Liu Since the old man was not here, he had no choice but to stand up and speak.
"Brother Tao is right. If we are too late now, our chances of being exposed will increase a lot. We can't waste any more time." At this time, some people in the crowd responded.
This man's words were reasonable and were approved by most of the people present, so everyone quickly made a decision and took action immediately.
Due to the fierce fighting on the city wall, the officials and wealthy households in Yuhe County sent all the people they could mobilize to the city wall. Even the soldiers guarding behind the four city gates were mobilized. As a result, there is a serious shortage of troops here.
"Master, why are you here?" The little leader guarding the east gate had learned crafts from Tao Cheng before. When he saw him coming with a large group of common people, he hurriedly came over and greeted him politely.
"I heard that the war was a little tight, so I brought some people over to help you guard the city gate." Tao Cheng looked at the little leader, then at the group of strong people behind him, and said with a smile.
"Master, you came in time. We are very short of people here." The little leader did not doubt that he was there. He immediately moved the fence in front and brought Tao Cheng and the nearly two hundred strong people he brought behind the city gate. .
There were more than a dozen soldiers guarding behind the east gate. Seeing so many people coming to help them, their faces showed a relaxed look. However, the next moment they panicked because the people suddenly took out ropes and pulled out ropes. Put them on these soldiers.
Although these soldiers were not very powerful, they were still much more powerful than the common people. However, they were caught off guard, and each of them was held down by seven or eight common people, and soon they were tied up tightly.
"Master, what are you doing? Release us quickly." The little leader was also tied up like a rice dumpling, and he said loudly to Tao Cheng.
"What are you doing? What do you think I'm going to do? You guys know how to help the corrupt officials and unscrupulous rich people. We want to open the city gates and welcome the righteous bandits from outside the city to come in and divide the fields for us." After the soldiers were done, Tao Chengcai said to the little boss with a calm face.
Only then did the soldiers realize that they had been fooled, but there was nothing they could do. The people immediately swarmed behind the city gate, scrambled to lift the heavy bolt, and then released the huge bolt tied behind the door. With the iron chain, everyone worked together to quickly and slowly open the city gate.
A hundred meters away from the east gate of Yuhe County, Chen Gang was standing there anxiously with a group of people. Seeing the increasing number of casualties among the bandits on the city wall, he was extremely anxious, but had no other choice. Just when he was thinking that if the city gate could not be opened, he ordered to withdraw his troops, he saw the city gate slowly opening.
Seeing the open city gate, Chen Gang immediately turned from worry to joy. He immediately led a group of bandits and rushed into the city gate as quickly as possible.
"Tao Cheng, a small citizen, led more than two hundred people from the county to welcome the Flying Eagle Society volunteers into the city." Tao Cheng looked at Chen Gang walking in front and knew that he was the leader, so he immediately went up to meet him and said with a smile.
"Brother Tao, thank you for your hard work. After we capture the county, we will reward you for your merits." The excited Chen Gang quickly patted Tao Cheng on the shoulder and greeted several leading people. These people were considered helpful this time. His big favor.
Seeing that the leaders of the bandits were so polite, the people guarding the door were completely relieved. They were all secretly glad that they had done the right thing this time.
As Chen Gangzhong entered the city, there was no suspense in the siege. Seeing that the situation was over, the soldiers guarding the city had no intention of resisting desperately, allowing more and more bandits to climb onto the city wall from the ladders.
The county officials and wealthy households standing behind realized that the situation was not good and immediately chose to escape. But how could they escape in this situation? With the help of the people in the city, the bandits quickly captured all the officials and wealthy households in the county.
In the county prison cell, Liu Cheng finally found his father, Old Man Liu, who had been beaten black and blue. It turned out that Liu Cheng went out of the city late at night last night. Although he successfully escaped, his identity was soon found out. The Yuhe County Magistrate immediately sent someone to capture Old Man Liu and brought him into the county government office.
Old man Liu had been a soldier. Although he was older now, his bones were very strong. Although the county government officials tortured him, he did not recruit the people to prepare for a uprising and open the city gate. In desperation, the county government officials had no choice but to temporarily imprison him.
Yuhe County in Suizhou was captured, and the three county towns between Yunshan Pass and Shishou Pass were all captured by the Flying Eagle Society. From now on, the Flying Eagle Society can no longer be regarded as bandits in the strict sense, but can be regarded as a separatist local force.
There are still big differences among the leaders regarding the current positioning of the Flying Eagle Society.
One view is that the Flying Eagle Society should now use its own banner and become an independent force. There are even more radical ones who actually persuade Ye Ying to ascend the throne as emperor.
Another view is much more moderate. They believe that although the Flying Eagle Society currently occupies three counties, its strength is still very weak. If Daning sends a large army, it is likely that it will not be able to hold on to this foundation. Leaders who hold this view suggest that Ye Ying should use the slogan "Qing Jun side, get rid of the clan" and continue to regard himself as a commoner of Daning. This can greatly reduce the hostility of the Daning court towards the Flying Eagle Society.
There is even a view that Ye Ying should send people to the court to seek recruitment, so that if he succeeds, he can become a legitimate official of the court and there will be no danger of being annihilated by troops sent by the court.
Leaders at all levels who held these views were automatically divided into several camps. They all tried to persuade each other with their own views, but no one seemed willing to give in. Throughout the meeting, the relationship between the various forces began to become subtle.
Regarding this situation, many leaders came to Ye Ying, hoping that he could express his views as soon as possible and end this chaotic situation, otherwise it would probably fall apart.
Even the resourceful Zhuge Ying did not expect the situation that emerged now. When talking to Ye Ying, he also expressed a lot of helplessness.
Ye Ying was also dissatisfied with the current situation. When he was a child, he often listened to many stories told by the teacher in the village. He once heard the topic "It is easy to conquer the world but difficult to defend it", but he did not expect that he should read it today.
The Flying Eagle Society had not yet conquered the world and had only occupied a few counties, but this situation arose. If the power continues to expand in the future, who knows what kind of changes will happen. Ye Ying knows that it is time to find a way to end this situation.
"Are you done yet?" In a small farmyard, Ye Ying slowly walked in with Ge Gen, Ge Erniu and Gan Zhi, and said to a few busy women with a smile.
"I see the boss, there are still a few corners left, it will be finished soon." Seeing Ye Ying entering the courtyard, several women stood up quickly and saluted him respectfully. One of them looked pretty The young woman replied.
On the stage in front of the women was a large green flag. In the center of the flag was an eagle with wings spread high, and above the eagle there was a huge word "Eagle".
"This is the Falcon flag, it looks so majestic!" Gan Zhi, the youngest, said excitedly as he looked at the flag.
"Yes, this is the Fierce Eagle military flag that made the northern barbarians fearful. It is also the proud military spirit of our Daning people. It will be erected again today." Ye Ying looked at this military flag, feeling a little excited and a little heroic. said.
It has always been Ye Ying's wish to re-establish the flag of the Fierce Eagle Army, but he was previously a soldier in the Mad Lion Army and he could not reveal his identity. Then the Flying Eagle Society was very weak. If they hurriedly set up the Eagle Flag, they would become the target of attack by all forces, and it would also tarnish this heroic flag.
But now, Ye Ying decided to raise this flag and publicly identify himself as the son of Commander Ying. In his opinion, since he uses the name Ye Ying, he must shoulder the responsibility of rebuilding the Fierce Eagle Army and clearing the grievances of the Fierce Eagle Army.
When the flag of the Fierce Eagle Army was raised high above the head of Heishan County, almost everyone in the Flying Eagle Association felt heroic in their hearts. The leader was the son of Commander Ying, and everyone in the association was a member of the Fierce Eagle Army. .
Ye Ying re-establishes the flag of the Fierce Eagle Army and reveals to everyone that he is the son of Commander Ye Fei. Another important purpose is to declare to the whole world that he is a citizen of Daning and will always be loyal to Daning. We must be like the eagle commander Ye Fei back then, driving away any invaders who dare to covet the territory of Daning.
At the same time, Ye Ying also wanted to tell the Daning court in this way that the fire of Lieying would still be burning brightly, and everyone who framed the Lieying Army back then would one day have their accounts settled on their heads.
In addition to rushing to make multiple flags of the Fierce Eagle Army, Ye Ying also arranged for each county to start making military uniforms. Although the resources of the three counties are still relatively scarce, now that the flag of the Fierce Eagle Army is used, the military uniforms will gradually be unified.
"Brothers, from now on, we are no longer bandits, we are soldiers, we are the most powerful Eagle Army in Daning. We must defend the 'Fierce Eagle' with our lives and blood just like our predecessors." This is an honorable title." Ye Ying stood at the head of Heishan County and announced loudly to the generals standing below the city.
