The moon hangs high, and the night is lonely. Only the sound of fighting scattered into Luoyang City with the wind.

Dozens of steps below the southern city wall are rows of the most humble barracks, which provide rest and residence for many young and strong soldiers who have been forcibly conscripted to defend the city.

In each of these cramped barracks, no less than ten ordinary soldiers lived, and most of them had fallen asleep at the end of the day's work, and the snoring was incessant.

But in one of the barracks, Zhang Laosan did not sleep, but leaned against the wall, and was carefully examining the leaflet in by a ray of moonlight from the slightly open window.

In the morning, everything came too quickly, and the people were too chaotic, and although the officers and generals took action in time to search for all the leaflets thrown in from outside the city, many of them were still hidden in private.

Zhang Laosan also studied in private school for a few years, and he can be regarded as literate and hyphenated, although this thing is still a little difficult to read. But at this time, he calmed down and read it slowly, and some things were understood by him, and at the same time, his mind naturally changed.

"Third child, what are you looking at?"

Suddenly, a voice in his ear made Zhang Laosan suddenly shake, and he almost tore up the leaflet. But he soon came back to his senses, and first replied, "No...... Nothing ......."

"But what is written on the paper that was thrown in from outside the city earlier?" This one didn't give up, and continued to ask, a pair of big eyes staring at Zhang Laosan.

And as he opened his mouth to ask, the other soldiers in the barracks actually half sat up and looked at Zhang Laosan curiously. Before, he secretly hid the flyer in his arms, but he couldn't hide it from these robed brothers.

After a little hesitation, Zhang Laosan finally whispered the contents of the leaflet he had learned: "It was the imperial court that asked us to make trouble inside, whether it was to help them enter the city, or to take down those wealthy families and generals who fought against the imperial court, as long as it was done, we could all be rewarded, and what kind of title could we give." ”

"Is this true? Can this thing be believed? At that moment, some people asked excitedly.

"There shouldn't be a fake, after all, this is a decree in the name of the emperor, and a jade seal is stamped on it...... What is the identity of the emperor, how can he deceive me and other small people? Zhang Laosan said, opened the leaflet again, and pointed out the mark at the bottom to everyone to take a closer look.

Looking at the vermilion, beautiful seal, everyone believed a little more in their hearts.

But they still have doubts in their hearts: "But today, some people in the city keep warning us that the contents of these leaflets are all deceitful, and it is the Vietnamese army outside the city who will think of using such tricks to confuse our army's ...... when they see that they can't take our Luoyang City."

In the echo and harmony of many people, Zhang Laosan said with a straight face: "I don't see it that way." Didn't you notice that in the past few months, the siege of the Vietnamese army outside the city has not been as fierce as imagined? Thinking about the previous battles, how terrible the Vietnamese army was, I don't need to go into details, right? ”m.

These words made everyone nod again, even if they had not personally experienced the previous battles, they had heard from other brothers about how dangerous the battles in Xingyang and other places were, and how fierce the Vietnamese army was on the battlefield.

"So I think what is written on this thing should be the truth, the imperial court...... The emperor really doesn't want us to die in battle, so he will always show mercy to his subordinates. ”

Zhang Laosan solemnly whispered: "But Luoyang is the capital of Dayue, and they must fight it, so ...... Now I can only use this method, I hope that we people will no longer act for the tiger and help Zhao Guangxiao and other rebellious things.

"What do you think? Are we really willing to be used by those who only oppressed and bullied us in the past and robbed us of our wealth and land, and went to work for them? The Wang family is too much of a thing, and to this day, they haven't sent us the promised benefits. ”

The previous statement didn't feel much to everyone, but this last sentence aroused everyone's resentment: "Yes, the Wang family is indeed not a thing, we defend the city for them, but we have not even given us any benefits." On the contrary, Sun Twelve and the others were killed by them because they refused to keep vigil and hid a little lazily......"

"Yes, if we continue to work for them, we will really get nothing, and we will have to put our lives into it. Compared to them, the imperial army outside the city is more credible, and the bad people have written things in black and white, which is much more reliable than the promises of the Wang family. ”

Zhang Laosan listened to everyone's words and me, and his thoughts were naturally more lively: "So, everyone also intends to do things according to the meaning of the above?" ”

Everyone nodded, but then they all wondered, "But what can we do?" There are only a few of us, and the weapons were confiscated by them when they went down to the city, can they still be the opponents of those soldiers and horses? ”

Zhang Laosan immediately excitedly said: "If we go directly to confront them, we naturally don't have the ability." But don't forget, this is a clear point, even if it is to help the soldiers and horses outside the city enter the city, it is also a great credit!

"And we may not have enough other abilities, but we know the situation near the gate best, and it's night again, so it's better to ...... It's better to secretly open the city gate and let the Vietnamese army in! ”

As soon as this strategy was said, everyone's minds became more active, and they were silent at first, and then they spoke: "That's it." Anyway, if we continue like this, we will be a dead end, so it is better to fight hard, maybe we can really make a noble person. ”

"That's what I thought too!"

"Count me in!"

For a time, the twelve people in this barracks were all unanimous and reached a decision to open the city gate at night.

These people have been considered military soldiers in recent months, and although they haven't learned much else, they have learned the characteristics of being vigorous and resolute and doing what they want.

The idea was set, and everyone did not hesitate any longer, and all went down to the ground to get dressed, and then carefully opened the door and walked out of the barracks.

At this time, the outside was still quiet, and there was not even a single patrol soldier, so naturally they were given the opportunity to get closer to the base of the city wall, and continue to touch the shadows, until they went to the side gate that was not too important.

On this night, whether it was the Vietnamese army outside the city, or the important people in the defenders of the city, or even people like Zhang Laosan, they never thought that the same situation would happen in every corner of Luoyang City.

Like their group of Luoyang people who are unwilling to work for the wealthy clan and Zhao Guangxiao, there are also people who hide leaflets at the city gate in all other directions, and then use this as a basis to suddenly launch tonight!

Some people died, but not completely......
