Chapter 169: The Banner of the Fierce Eagle Army

In the land temple in the county seat, the hundreds of people gathered here were very anxious at this time, and 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 have fought very fiercely, and Liu Laohan, as the person in charge, has not been able to show up for a long time.

The anxious people found Liu Laohan's house, but found that his house was empty, and they didn't know where the old man had gone.

"Folks, we can't wait any longer, although Liu Ye didn't come, we can still act according to the plan." Speaking at the scene was the blacksmith Tao Cheng, who was also one of the two principals who were elected yesterday, and at this time Liu Laohan was not there, so he had to stand up and speak.

"Brother Tao is right, if it's a minute late, the possibility of us being exposed will increase a lot, and we can't waste any more time." At this time, there were also people in the crowd who responded.

This man's words were reasonable, and most of the people present agreed with them, so everyone quickly made a decision and immediately began to act.

Due to the fierce fighting on the city wall, the officials and wealthy families of Yuhe County sent all the people who could be transferred to the city wall, and even the soldiers guarding behind the four city gates were also transferred a lot, resulting in a serious shortage of troops here.

"Master, why are you here?" The little boss guarding the east gate had learned the craft from Tao Cheng before, and when he saw him coming with a large group of ordinary people, he hurriedly walked over and greeted him politely.

"I heard that the war was a little tight, so I brought some people to help you guard the gates." Tao Cheng looked at the little leader, then at the group of strong people behind him, and said with a smile.

"Master, you came too timely, we are very short of people here." The little leader did not suspect him, and immediately removed the fence that had stopped him, and brought Tao Cheng and the nearly 200 strong people he brought with him behind the city gate.

There were also a dozen soldiers guarding behind the east gate, and when they saw so many people coming to help them, their faces showed a relaxed expression, but the next moment they panicked, because the people suddenly took out ropes and put them on these soldiers.

Although these soldiers are not too strong, they are still much more powerful than these ordinary people, but under the surprise, each of them was held down by seven or eight people, and they were tied up in a strong knot after a while.

"Master, what are you doing here? Hurry up and let us go. The little leader was also tied up like a rice dumpling, and he said loudly to Tao Cheng.

"What, what do you say I'm going to do? You fellows know that to help these corrupt officials and bad rich people, we must open the gates of the city to welcome the righteous bandits from outside the city to come in, and give us land and land. After finishing all the soldiers, Tao Chengcai said to the little leader with a calm face.

The soldiers knew at this time that they had been deceived, but there was nothing they could do, and the people immediately flocked to the city gate, lifted the heavy deadbolt with all their hands and feet, and let go of the huge iron chain tied behind the door, and 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 at the head of the city, he was very anxious, but there was no other way. Thinking that if the gate could not be opened, he ordered the withdrawal of his troops, but saw the gate slowly open.

Seeing the open city gate, Chen Gang immediately turned his worries into joy, and he personally led a team of bandits to rush into the city gate as quickly as possible.

"Xiaomin Tao Cheng, with more than 200 people from the county, welcomed the Flying Eagle Society bandits into the city." Tao Cheng looked at Chen Gang who was walking in front, and knew that he was the leader, so he immediately greeted him and said with a smile.

"Brother Tao has worked hard, and after we occupy the county, we will reward you for your meritorious deeds." Chen Gang, who was excited, hurriedly patted Tao Cheng on the shoulder, and greeted several leading people, who helped him a lot this time.

Seeing that the leaders of the bandits were so polite, the people guarding the door were also completely relieved, and 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 this siege battle, and the soldiers guarding the city saw that the general trend was gone, and they had no intention of resisting desperately, so that more and more bandits climbed from the ladder to the city wall.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the county officials and wealthy families standing in the rear immediately chose to flee, but how could they escape in this situation? With the help of the people of the city, the bandits quickly captured all the officials and wealthy families in the county.

In the prison cell of the county government, Liu Cheng finally found his father, Liu Laohan, who was beaten and bruised. It turned out that Liu Cheng went out of the city late at night last night, and although he successfully escaped, he was soon found out. The Yuhe County Commander immediately sent someone to capture Liu Laohan and bring him into the county office.

Liu Laohan was a soldier back then, although he is old now, but his bones are very hard, although the county officials tortured him, he did not recruit the people to prepare to open the city gate. In desperation, the officials of the county government had to temporarily lock him in prison.

Suizhou Yuhe County was captured, and the three county towns between Yunshan Pass and Shishou Pass were all taken into the pocket of the Flying Eagle Society. From now on, the Flying Eagle Society cannot be counted as bandits in the strict sense of the word, but can be counted as a local force that is divided.

There is still a big disagreement among the leaders about 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, and there are even more radical ones, who actually persuaded Ye Ying to ascend the throne as emperor.

The other view is much more modest, they believe that although the Flying Eagle Society currently occupies the three counties, its strength is still very weak, and if Daning sends a large army, it is likely that it will not be able to hold this foundation. The leader who held such a view suggested that Ye Ying play the slogan "Qing Jun's side, except for the clan" and continue to regard himself as the people of Daning, which could greatly alleviate the hostility of the Daning Imperial Court towards the Flying Eagle Society.

There is even a point of view, that is, let Ye Ying send people to the imperial court to seek recruitment, so that once he succeeds, he can become a legitimate official of the imperial court, and there is no danger of being exterminated by the imperial court.

The leaders of all levels who held these views automatically divided into several camps, and they all tried to persuade each other with their own views, but no one seemed willing to give in, and the relationship between the various forces began to become delicate throughout the meeting.

For this situation, many leaders of this kind found Ye Ying, hoping that he could express his views as soon as possible and end this chaotic situation, otherwise it is likely to fall apart.

In this situation now, even the resourceful Zhuge Ying didn't expect that when talking to Ye Ying, he also expressed a lot of helplessness.

Ye Ying is also not satisfied with the status quo, when he was a child, he often listened to many stories told by the teacher in the village, and he had heard the topic of "it is easy to fight the world and difficult to defend the world", but he didn't expect to read it today.

The Flying Eagle Society has not yet conquered the world, and only occupies a few county seats, and such a situation has occurred. If the power continues to expand in the future, I don't know what kind of changes will happen, Ye Ying knows that it is time to find a way to end this situation.

"Are you done?" In a small farmhouse courtyard, Ye Ying slowly entered with Ge Gen, Ge Erniu and Gan Zhi, and said to a few women who were busy with a smile.

"See a big boss, there are still a few last corners, and it will be completed soon." Seeing that it was Ye Ying who entered the courtyard, several women hurriedly stood up and saluted him respectfully, and one of the delicate-looking young women replied.

On the platform in front of several women, a large blue flag was spread, and in the center of the banner was embroidered an eagle with wings spread and flying high, and above the eagle was a huge word "Fierce Eagle".

"This is the Falcon Banner, it looks so majestic!" The youngest Gan Zhi looked at the flag and said with some excitement.

"Yes, this is the Fierce Eagle Army Banner that killed the Northern Barbarians back then, and it is also the proud military soul of my Daning people, and it will be re-erected today." Ye Ying looked at this military flag, and said with some excitement and some heroism.

It has always been Ye Ying's wish to re-establish the Flame Eagle Military Banner, but he was a soldier in the Wild Lion Army before, and he couldn't disclose his identity. After that, the strength of the Flying Eagle Society is very weak, and if it rashly raises the Fierce Eagle Banner, it will become the target of attacks by all forces, and it will also discredit this heroic banner.

But now, Ye Ying decided to put up this flag and openly claim to be the son of Ying Shuai. In his opinion, since the name Ye Ying is used, 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 Eagle Army was raised high in the head of Montenegro County, almost everyone in the Flying Eagle Club had a heroic feeling in their hearts, the big boss was the son of the Eagle Shuai, and everyone in the meeting was a member of the Eagle Army.

Ye Ying re-established the Fierce Eagle Military Banner and disclosed to everyone that he was the son of Eagle Shuai Ye Fei. Another important purpose is to announce to the whole world that he is the people of Daning and will always be loyal to Daning. Like the eagle handsome Ye Fei back then, drive away any invaders who dare to covet Daning to fight the rivers and mountains.

At the same time, Ye Ying also wanted to tell the Daning Imperial Court in this way that the flame of the Burning Eagle would still burn, and all the people who framed the Burning Eagle Army back then would one day settle the account on their heads.

In addition to rushing to produce many Fierce Eagle military flags, Ye Ying also arranged for each county to start making military uniforms, although the resources of the three counties are still relatively scarce, but since the banner of the Fierce Eagle Army is played, this military uniform will still be gradually unified.

"Brothers, from now on, we are no longer bandits, we are soldiers, we are the most powerful Fierce Eagle Army in Daning, we will be like our predecessors, and defend the glorious title of 'Fierce Eagle' with our lives and blood." Ye Ying stood at the head of the county town of Montenegro and announced loudly to the generals and generals standing under the city.
