At dawn, everyone was almost frightened when they saw the appearance of Liu Yunzhang left behind in the Eastern Capital.

Liu Yunzhang's face did not have the slightest blood, the circles around his eyes were cyan, and his hair was all white, quite a bit of Wu Zixu's feeling of being white overnight, seeing Liu Yunzhang's expression, everyone's mood was heavy, and they knew that it was difficult to hold Luoyang City.

Liu Yunzhang did make the most painful decision of his life, he decided to open the city gate and surrender.

In doing so, his reputation may fall into the most unbearable situation, and even leave an infamy in history, just like the one he wrote about the nine breaks of the country and the eight sufferings of the people, it will instantly cause a sensation in the world, but this time the sensation is completely negative.

But Liu Yunzhang thought of the safety of the people of the entire Luoyang City, maybe the army and the people of Luoyang City would join hands to resist and be able to hold for a while, but sooner or later, the situation of corpses everywhere would appear, the capital had no way to send reinforcements, and the surrounding Jiedu envoys were all standing by.

What made Liu Yunzhang even more desperate and angry was the performance of the Shence Army, where can this be regarded as an army, it is inferior to the common people, if the capital relies on such a Shence Army to guard, it will fall sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Liu Yunzhang made a painful decision.

When the envoy sent by Shang Rang entered Luoyang City, Liu Yunzhang learned the news, and he made a decision to personally greet the envoy sent by Shang Rang to discuss the matter of opening the city gate.

The envoy sent by Shang Rang was a military general, and he didn't know how important he was, and even the officials who accompanied Liu Yunzhang were angry, but Liu Yunzhang still didn't have much expression on his face, and he faced the messenger sent by Shang Rang, and made it clear that he was willing to open the city gate to accept the army of Huang Chao.

The envoy didn't expect this to be the end, and he didn't speak for a long time, and when Liu Yunzhang once again emphasized opening the city gate, the envoy laughed.

The surrounding officials did not object, Liu Yunzhang decided to open the city gate and surrender, it was not a decision made by them, and they did not need to bear any responsibility, but Liu Yunzhang did this, their lives were saved, and they entered the Huangchao of Luoyang City smoothly, and they must also treat the officials and people of Luoyang City well, and there would be no excessive measures, in this case, how could everyone oppose the decision made by Liu Yunzhang, in their opinion, in the current situation, it would be very good to be able to save their lives, As for what is said to be loyal to the monarch and loyal to the court, it is better to put it in the back.

A matter of such great importance was decided in a very short period of time.

Liu Yunzhang, who was discouraged, did not think of secrecy, he also knew that this matter could not be kept secret, and he had other ideas, after all, it was a Hanlin bachelor of the Tang Dynasty, if there were people in Luoyang City who were unwilling to surrender, they also needed to let people live, so Liu Yunzhang asked that before opening the city gate and surrendering, if someone asked to leave Luoyang City, Huang Chao and the army under his command could not be stopped, correspondingly, Liu Yunzhang promised that the people who left Luoyang City would not take any property with them.

The envoy almost didn't think about it, and readily agreed, what is it to take a few people in Luoyang City, it is not a matter at all, the army does not need to fight, it can take Luoyang City, this is a great thing.

After the envoy returned to the camp, he immediately wanted Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang to report the outcome of the negotiation.

Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang didn't expect that Liu Yunzhang, who was left behind in the eastern capital, would actually open the city gate and surrender.

The two discussed urgently, and immediately drew up a fold and submitted it to the general Huang Chao, the first to enter the eastern capital Luoyang, it must be the general, and the rest of the people are not allowed to trespass.

As for the conditions put forward by Liu Yunzhang, Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang also agreed, this is not a big deal, even if Luoyang City leaves hundreds or even thousands of people, it is nothing remarkable.

The two would never have thought that it was this decision they made that left them with no chance to regret it.

Li Rupei learned the news that Liu Yunzhang was ready to open the city gate and surrender at the first time.

The scouts he sent had already entered Luoyang City, but after Shang Rang began to attack the Shence Army, the city gate was closed, and the scouts could not leave Luoyang City.

The Chinese military tent, Gao Chibang, Huang Biao and others are all concentrated here.

Everyone didn't speak, but they just obeyed Li Rupei's arrangement, Li Rupei was like a god, and everyone was convinced.

After being silent for a while, Li Rupei finally spoke.

"I have a hunch in this regard, but I didn't expect that Liu Yunzhang actually made a decision so quickly, opened the city gate and surrendered, Huang Chao led the army all the way, I am afraid I didn't think that he would not encounter any resistance, and he would be able to occupy the eastern capital Luoyang, a certain still can't understand, Liu Yunzhang doesn't even plan to resist, doesn't he understand, too weak will be looked down upon by Huang Chao."

Everyone looked at Li Rupei, and everyone didn't expect that Li Rupei was not reprimanding Liu Yunzhang for betraying the imperial court, but saying that Liu Yunzhang should at least resist.

"Liu Yunzhang made such a decision, it is also reasonable, Liu Yunzhang is not a soldier, just a civilian official, can not lead the fight against the Yellow Nest, rather than with the Yellow Nest to the end, it is better to open the city gate and surrender, Liu Yunzhang estimated the final outcome, that is, Luoyang City can not be defended, if it is fought to the end, Luoyang City may be destroyed in the end, in this case, Liu Yunzhang made the decision to open the city gate and surrender, but it is understandable."

Seeing everyone's incomprehensible expressions, Li Rupei suddenly thought that it was very inappropriate for him to look at Liu Yunzhang's decision to open the city gate and surrender with the mentality of a traverser, after all, the people around him lived in a different era, and such a big thing of betraying his ancestors could not be forgiven in the eyes of everyone.

"But understanding is understanding, making such actions and decisions is unforgivable, I remember that Liu Yunzhang is a bachelor of Hanlin, and he has the trust of the emperor, no matter what, in the face of the attack of the Huangchao army, he should lead the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist ......"

Li Rupei changed his words and began to criticize Liu Yunzhang, and at this time he found that everyone's faces began to soften.

Li Rupei can only smile bitterly, this is a fixed understanding, an understanding that cannot be changed.

The etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith advocated in this era are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if many festivals in the late Tang Dynasty are ready to move, but they dare not blatantly do it, even if the power of some festivals is enough to dominate the Central Plains.

Li Rupei quickly changed the topic, and the focus of what needs to be said today is not Liu Yunzhang's decision to open the city gate and surrender.

"The officers and men of the Iron Blood Army are ready to attack the army led by Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang in the middle of the night today."

Li Rupei stood up and looked at everyone with a very serious expression.

"Liu Yunzhang decided to open the city gate and surrender, Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang must be ecstatic, they will definitely report to Huang Chao quickly, Huang Chao got the news, just as happy, it must be a starry night, go to Luoyang, Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang will never dare to enter Luoyang City first, they will definitely wait for Huang Chao, so the iron-blooded army must seize the opportunity, the sooner they attack, the more they can grasp the initiative."

"Liu Yunzhang's decision is actually to help the Iron Army, I believe that the news of Liu Yunzhang's decision to open the city gate and surrender has spread among Shang Rang's army, which indicates that the sergeants do not need to fight brutally, and can easily enter Luoyang City, which means that the army led by Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang is not ready to fight, it can be said that the swords and guns are in storage, and the horses are put in Nanshan."

"At this time, the iron-blooded army launched an attack, which will catch Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang off guard, and they won't have time to make any reaction at all, the army is conquering, morale is the most important thing Suddenly relaxed, if you want to continue to raise morale, it will not be easy."

"A certain request for the Iron Blood Army to attack tonight is also the result of serious thinking, Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang, tonight should be the most relaxed and happy, from tomorrow, they will wake up, ready to welcome the arrival of Huang Chao, the two main generals relaxed, not to mention the sergeants below, maybe tonight Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang will allow some of the sergeants to drink and celebrate, that is the best opportunity for the Iron Blood Army."

"Huang Chao's action must be rapid, a certain conclusion, the day after tomorrow Huang Chao can arrive outside Luoyang City, the Iron and Blood Army will attack tonight, Huang Chao got the news, the earliest is tomorrow night, even if he is fast, it will take a night to hurry, so that the soldiers are ready, to wait for work, kill Huang Chao by surprise, so that Huang Chao's offensive can be completely stopped, and the task of the Iron and Blood Army to aid the eastern capital Luoyang is completely completed." ……

After the deployment was completed, everyone left, leaving Gao Chibang and Huang Biao in the Chinese military tent.

"General Gao, General Huang, you should know that the army under the command of Huang Chao is more than 200,000 people, the Iron and Blood Army wants to completely defeat Huang Chao, it is not realistic at present, it can only be said to defeat Huang Chao, to dispel Huang Chao's arrogance, a certain once said that the beheading operation, tonight's attack, the focus is on Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang, Shang Rang has both civil and military skills, once the camp is attacked, the first time will command the army to resist, Zhao Zhang is a strategist, must stay in the Chinese army tent, this is the opportunity of the Iron Army, must be in tonight's attack, took Zhao Zhang's life. ”

"General Gao, the two hundred people you have been training secretly will undertake this most important task, and the rest should not interfere, the attack of the iron-blooded army tonight is divided into two parts, General Huang led the army to attack the military camp of the Shangrang army and start a fight, General Gao led these two hundred people, went straight into the Chinese military tent, and killed Zhao Zhang."
