Chapter 291: Sunset in the Kingdom
This side of the Imperial City is not the same as the outer city wall.
Those soldiers and horses of the Linyi Kingdom who retreated from the city walls retreated here to defend the imperial city.
Thousands of soldiers and horses, guarding around the imperial city, gave Liu Zheng some pressure on them, but these soldiers and horses were still not enough under the leadership of Xu Huang and others.
Half an hour later, the gate of the imperial city was breached, and Liu Zheng led a group of soldiers and horses to enter the imperial city and came to the palace hall.
Liu Zheng is a person who has been to Luoyang and has seen the magnificent Han Imperial Palace in Luoyang City, and when he saw the royal palace of Lin Yi Kingdom here, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised by the shabby of Lin Yi Kingdom.
But come to think of it, it is only a small southern barbarian country, and the level of the palace built is naturally not strong enough.
It would be good to be able to build a decent palace, so why expect them to be able to build an idea that surprised Liu Zhengdu.
Although the main hall is somewhat similar to the palace in Luoyang, on the whole, it is still far from the same, and it is a copycat version of the Luoyang Palace.
Entering the inner hall, King Fan Xiong was half-lying on a golden dragon chair, his face was cold and lifeless.
Seeing Liu Zheng come in, he didn't seem surprised at all, but just glanced at Liu Zheng lightly, and then said a word.
"You're finally here."
"Here, the time is just right, the ninth day, how about it, I said that I would definitely break the city within ten days. I didn't break my promise! ”
When Liu Zheng and Fan Xiong met, it was like two old friends, saying an agreement to each other, and it was not as easy as overdue.
The expression on Fan Xiong's face changed slightly, but now that it has come to this point, he also knows that it would be a fool's dream to ask for peace again, even if he opened his mouth, Liu Zheng and these people would not agree.
"It's me who is defeated, if you want to kill it, you can do whatever you want."
"Actually, I don't hate you, and even I don't hate you Lin Yiguo, because you really don't have any sense of existence, so weak that I haven't even heard of it, if it weren't for this time your son led the soldiers and horses to attack Rinan County, the news happened to be known by my people, maybe with the ability of those Jiaozhou assassins before, you could really occupy Rinan County like this."
Liu Zheng was not in a hurry to kill Fan Xiong at this time, and finally hit the palace, so he naturally wanted to have a good chat with Fan Xiong.
was so despised by Liu Zheng that Lin Yiguo had no sense of existence, but Fan Xiong was not angry at this time.
"If you want to blame your unsuccessful son, it was he who did what was inferior to the beast, and I am a patriot, and I am quite disgusted with the invasion of foreign enemies, so you just hit my knife, and I have to raise my knife and cut down."
"It's useless to talk too much, give me a good time."
Liu Zheng was talking energetically, but Fan Xiong didn't want Liu Zheng to continue, because what Liu Zheng said was nothing more than some things that slandered Lin Yi State, although Lin Yi Country was not established by Fan Xiong alone, but it was gradually grown in his hands.
was said to be so useless by Liu Zheng, he naturally felt unhappy.
"Okay, since you don't want to hear it, I don't bother to say it, anyway, the territory of this Linyi Kingdom also belonged to the Han Dynasty at the beginning, and I have made a contribution to recovering the lost territory for the court."
was interrupted by Fan Xiong what he wanted to say, Liu Zheng was not interested in continuing, put away the sword in his hand, turned around, and then turned his back to Fan Xiong.
"You are also the king of a country, although it is only a small country, but I, Liu Zheng, am also a person who knows how to be polite, you can judge yourself, I will give you some face. lest they be slaughtered by my men, and their heads will be in different places, and they will not be good-looking. ”
Liu Zheng glanced at the Fan Xiong on the chair, this is an old man in his fifties, if he does it, he can only be said to be an old man who is powerless, and he cannot be called a qualified opponent, Liu Zheng is naturally unwilling to compete with him.
Fan Xiong looked at Liu Zheng and never said anything, maybe this way of dying was the last explanation for him.
He did not refuse Liu Zheng's request, took the initiative to stand up from the chair, and then tore it hard, tearing off a large piece of his satin robe.
Then he brought a chair, tidied up his clothes, and hung the satin on the beam in the center of the hall, and walked up step by step.
Finally, taking a look at the people in this hall, Fan Xiong didn't have any nostalgia, and hung directly on his neck and committed suicide.
The sunset was slanting westward, accompanied by the remnant sun in the distance, shining on Fan Xiong's body, and his body was stretched long under the illumination of the sun.
The generation of heroes of Lin Yi Kingdom has come to the end of his life in this way.
Liu Zheng didn't have any sympathy for him, this world, or rather, the cruelty of the Three Kingdoms World was much more cruel than he imagined.
It's not a deceit, it's a fight between you and me, and he may be killed sooner or later, and at that time, who will come back to sympathize with him.
As soon as Fan Xiong died, Xianglin City was completely destroyed.
Liu Zheng did not stay here, he immediately led the few remaining soldiers and horses, and began to clean up the remnants of those Linyi countries in Xianglin City, and those people must be cleaned up in order to be able to truly control Xianglin City in Liu Zheng's hands in a short time.
And the city of Xianglin City was breached, which does not mean that this battle is over, Xianglin City is only the royal capital of Linyi State, close to the territory of the Han Dynasty, in the south, Linyi Kingdom still has the territory of more than a dozen county seats.
Those county seats, not too far from Xianglin City, and there are many subjects, since Liu Zheng has broken the royal city of Linyi State, then simply take the entire territory of Linyi State in one fell swoop, all of them will be returned to the territory of Jiaozhou, and Linyi Kingdom will be turned into Linyi County.
The huge Jiaozhou is not bad for this territory, although the territory across is very large and difficult to manage, but Liu Zheng is already working on the construction of the navy, and when Zulang's navy is established, the exchange between Lin Yiguo and Hepu will be convenient.
In the next few days, Liu Zheng did not continue to go south, but first stayed in Xianglin City to reorganize the soldiers and horses and recuperate.
After the offensive and defensive battles of Xianglin City, Liu Zheng's 9,000 men and horses lost more than 1,000 people, and only 8,000 people remained.
When they left Jiuzhen County before, there were more than 12,000 people in total, but now they have lost one-third.
Although the royal city of Linyi Kingdom was broken, there was still a battle to continue, and the entire Linyi Kingdom must be slowly incorporated into the command little by little, and civil officials from Jiuzhen County need to be transferred to govern it.
A few days later, the civil officials sent by Shixie arrived in Xianglin City.
