Chapter 168: The People's Heart is Available
"Brothers in Yuhe County, our Flying Eagle Club occupies the county seat, just to get rid of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, as well as the landlords and old rich people who have no conscience, so that all the people have land to plant, food and clothing, why do you want to help the abuse?"
"Everyone is raised by their parents, why should the children of those families be superior, no matter how hard we work, we can only be their servants, and our Flying Eagle Club is to break such an unreasonable system."
"Ladies and gentlemen, soldiers, do you know who you are protecting? They are all corrupt officials who bully the people, and they are all black-hearted businessmen who bully and dominate the market and exploit the people. ”
"You soldiers, those of you who work in the imperial court, how much do you get every month to support your family? Why take so little? They were all corrupted by these dog officials, but you are still so willing to work for them, is it worth it? ”
"Brothers, put down your weapons and join the Flying Eagle Society, our big boss is also from a poor family, and we know the suffering of the people best, let's break the framework of Daning together."
……
This time, the bandits came to the city wall of Yuhe County, but they did not attack the city wall, but organized a group of loud bandits and women, shouting hard at the city wall.
When they first heard these words, the officials, merchants, and soldiers guarding the city did not pay attention to them, but after a long time, many people were moved by these words.
Daning, which has a population of tens of millions, was actually bullied by the Northern Barbarians with a population of only a few million, and the main reason is that because the imperial court is too corrupt and the officials are too corrupt, most of the domestic assets have fallen into the hands of a few people headed by the six major families, and the common people are living a precarious life.
This time, in order to keep Yuhe County, these officials and families took out some belongings and distributed them to these county soldiers, errand officers, and family members, so that they could work for themselves. But everyone knew what these people had done before, and when they heard the shouts of the bandits below, many county soldiers, errand soldiers, and family members were a little moved.
"Don't listen to their gossip to confuse the people, but shoot them with my bow and arrows." Seeing that his soldiers were moved, the county magistrate of Yuhe County began to be anxious, and he gave orders to his soldiers loudly.
Other officials and wealthy families also began to desperately urge their men to attack the bandits under the city. In desperation, these officers, gendarmes and family members had no choice but to shoot arrows and stones at the city, but the bandits under the city had already taken precautions for this trick and soon ran out of the attack range.
The bandits stood in the distance and continued to shout at the city, which made the officials and rich people in the city so anxious that they had to order everyone to cover their ears and not listen to the "nonsense" of the bandits. But these soldiers under their command, although they made a look of covering their ears, were listening attentively to the various voices below.
On this day, the bandits did not attack, but the effect of the verbal attack was very obvious. Many of the soldiers in the city began to become listless, for they felt that the battle was meaningless.
The officials and wealthy men painted a lot of cakes for the soldiers defending the city, promising to give them many rewards when the bandits retreated. But these soldiers who had followed these officials and wealthy families for so many years, and knew their personalities very well, that such a promise could not have been fulfilled afterwards.
When night fell, the soldiers defending the city had to sleep on the city wall in their clothes in order to prevent the bandits from attacking the city at night.
However, there are many people in the city who can't sleep all night, that is, the common people who live in Yuhe County, and they all listen to the bandits' shouts during the day, and they are the ones who have been exploited the most by officials and rich families over the years, and every word of the bandits speaks to their hearts.
The benefits received by the people of Heishan County and Caoping County have long been heard by the people of Yuhe County, and they are envious of this. They had long expected the bandits of the Flying Eagle Society to come to Yuhe County, but now these righteous people who rescued them were stopped outside the city, so that they could not be in a hurry.
Hearing the shouts of the bandits outside the city, the people couldn't sit still, and when the officers and soldiers were resting at night, the people began to act. In an abandoned land temple in the city, a lot of ordinary people had gathered at this time, and most of the leaders among them were relatives of the Flying Eagle Society.
"Folks, the Flying Eagle Righteous Warriors are just outside the city, but these officials and rich people have blocked them out for their own interests, let's think of a way together?" A one-eyed old man stood in the middle of the field and said to the people present.
This one-eyed old man surnamed Liu, who had been on the battlefield during the Great War with the Northern Barbarians before, and his eyes were blinded by the enemy at that time, this old man surnamed Liu had a high reputation in the county town and won the respect of many people.
"Liu Ye is right, whoever prevents us from dividing the land now is our enemy, and we must not let their conspiracy succeed." After listening to Liu Laohan's words, a middle-aged man immediately said. He is a blacksmith in the city, and he often makes hoes and sickles for everyone on weekdays, and this person has always been anxious for justice and righteousness, and his popularity among the people is also very good.
"Yes, only by finding a way to release the righteous men of the Eagle Society into the city can we have a good life." At this time, someone said again in the crowd.
Next, many people spoke in the crowd, all of them expressed their support for Liu Laohan's statement, and wanted to think together to help the Flying Eagle Guild bandits enter Yuhe County.
In the end, the people present reached a consensus and jointly recommended Liu Laohan and the blacksmith Tao to become the leaders, and summoned people to find a way to help the Flying Eagle Society bandits outside the city enter the city. And this matter quietly spread among the people, and more and more ordinary people joined this operation.
And this Liu Laohan also has an identity, he is the uncle of Gui Sanniang, the leader of the Flying Eagle Club, and Gui Sanniang has been responsible for arranging the eyeliner of the Flying Eagle Club in various counties over the years, and this Liu Laohan is one of them.
At the fourth watch, it is the time when people sleep the most soundly, and most of the guards on the city wall who have worked hard for a day have fallen asleep at this time. No one noticed that at a corner of the city wall, there was a figure dressed in black, with the help of a rope, quietly sneaking down the city wall to the outside of the city.
"Someone escaped!" When the figure arrived at the city and ran in the direction of the bandit camp, the patrolling bandits spotted him.
At this time, the soldiers defending the city had no other way but to hurriedly shoot arrows down, but they couldn't see the figures clearly at night, and after shooting indiscriminately at the place where the figures fled, the guards on the city wall had to give up.
In the camp tent of the Flying Eagle Society bandits, Chen Gang, who was in charge of leading the troops, couldn't sleep all night, and when he was worried in the tent, he passed by his bandits to report that he had caught a spy from Yuhe County, and this person claimed to have an urgent matter to report to the leader of the Flying Eagle Society.
This incident came very suddenly, but it also aroused Chen Gang's curiosity, and he quickly got up in his clothes to see what was going on.
The man he caught was about thirty years old and very thin, but he could see that he was a very capable person. Dressed as a family man, with a long arrow stuck in his shoulder, and his clothes stained red with blood, it seems that he escaped from pursuit to get here.
"The villain Liu Cheng is the cousin of your leader Gui Sanniang, and he should report urgently when he came at night at the risk of death." When the weak man saw Chen Gang, he didn't care about the arrow wound on his body, so he anxiously reported to Chen Gang.
Hearing the words of this man named Liu Cheng, Chen Gang immediately became happy, and immediately asked a medical officer to find a medical officer to treat Liu Cheng's injuries. However, Chen Gang himself immediately summoned the leaders of the White Tiger Army to discuss the plan to seize the city overnight.
And the man named Liu Cheng who came out to report the news is indeed the Flying Eagle Society's own person, and he is also the son of Liu Laohan. Liu Cheng also has an identity, he is the family member of the Wang family, the largest family in Yuhe County, and with his kinship with Gui Sanniang, he has long been developed by Gui Sanniang into the eyes and ears of the cottage arranged in the Wang family.
After Liu Laohan successfully took advantage of the people's hatred for officials and wealthy families to organize some people, the next thing he did was to spread the news to the camp of the Flying Eagle Guild bandits outside the city.
This is a very troublesome thing, but fortunately, the Flying Eagle Society is currently very popular with the people, and these soldiers who defend the city always have a lot of people who are interested in the Flying Eagle Society, and Liu Cheng is one of them.
The last time the Flying Eagle Society was able to successfully obtain the disaster relief food hidden by the Wang family, Liu Cheng played a big role in it. Liu Yuanlai wanted to leave the Wang family and join the Flying Eagle Club directly, but because his identity was very helpful to the cottage, Gui Sanniang kept arranging for her to continue to work in the Wang family.
This time there was really a lack of soldiers to defend the city, and Liu Cheng, as the head of the Wang family, was sent to the city wall, and Liu Laohan handed over the task of delivering news to his son outside the city.
Liu Cheng was guarding the city on the city wall, he was originally a member of the patrol team, so he was very familiar with the rules of patrol patrols, he took advantage of the patrol patrol, sneaked from a hidden corner of the wall with a rope to the city, and rushed to the Flying Eagle Society camp under the cover of night to deliver the news.
When he rushed to the bandit camp, he was injured by the long arrows of the officers and soldiers in the city, but Liu Cheng knew the importance of this news, so he didn't care about his injuries, staggered all the way, and finally arrived at the camp of the Flying Eagle Club in time.
Early the next morning, the bandits surrounding the county no longer shouted under the city as they did yesterday, but began to forcibly attack the county seat.
In this siege, Chen Gang did not test again, but sent all the people under his command out, and did not even leave reserves. They surrounded Yuhe County and launched a fierce attack on the city wall from all sides.
Looking at the dense bandits, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly felt their scalps tingle. But they could not hesitate in this situation, and at the urging of the officials who supervised the battle in the rear, all the soldiers had to take up their swords and try to intercept the bandits who tried to rush to the city.
The battle became fierce from the beginning, and the bandits no longer spared, shouting and rushing desperately towards the city. Although the soldiers on the city wall wounded many people with bows and arrows, the bandits rushed to the top as if they did not see it.
"Resist it for me, repel their attack in this round, and the county order will be rewarded." Seeing that the situation had become very critical, the Yuhe County Commander stood behind and shouted loudly.
And other officials and wealthy families in the county town also began to make different forms of promises, so that everyone in front of them would work hard to kill the enemy. At this time, these rich people knew that once the city was broken, they would have nothing.
Looking at the two sides fighting fiercely on the city wall, and then looking at the bandits who kept falling from the city, Chen Gang's heart was like a knife, and he kept looking at the direction of the east gate of the county seat, and his heart was very anxious.
Last night, Liu Cheng risked his death to bring out the news, and the people in the city were ready to take advantage of the battle between the two sides to open the east gate and let the bandits enter, but the current battle has been going on so far, and there is no news from the east gate.
