After more than nine days, Liu Zhiyuan finally led the army and rushed to the city of Yedu, and the speed was not slow. The main force of the 50,000 forbidden army came violently, and the mighty and majestic division immediately gave a shot of strength to the besieging Han army, especially the emperor's personal arrival. The emperor who is high above can be on the battlefield in person, no matter when, it is a huge boost to the morale of the army.

Of course, if the emperor came in person, the war still could not make a breakthrough, and Ye Du still could not attack him, or even lost, then the result would be absolutely miserable.

But at the moment, no one in the Han army, from the generals to the pawns, will have such thoughts. Not to mention anything else, the weight of the elite of the 50,000 Tokyo Horse Infantry Forbidden Army is too large, enough to eliminate the unstable factors on all battlefields.

After receiving the briefing, early in the morning, Gao Xingzhou made preparations for welcoming in the army, adjusted the deployment, vacated the camp tent, and prepared hot food...... The movement was very loud, but it made the defenders in Yuancheng nervous, and once thought that the Han army was about to attack again, and when he was shocked, Du Chongwei personally went to the city to inspect. Naturally, he couldn't see why, but just ordered his henchmen to be vigilant.

There is no news in the city, so it is naturally unclear what the situation is in the outside world. Until a violent "long live" mountain cry suddenly broke out from outside the city, the sound was rolling, rushing straight to the dry clouds, and the city of Yedu couldn't help but shake, and the defenders in the city heard it, all of them changed color.

"Liu Zhiyuan is here in person?" After getting the report, Du Chongwei, who was hiding in the Jiedu Yamen, jumped up directly.

"No wonder there was such a big movement of the Han army outside the city before, it turned out to be preparing to meet it." After being surprised, Du Chongwei reacted and muttered.

Although Du Chongwei is not very good, he looks really good, his face is square, he has this long hair, and he looks majestic and majestic.

But at this time, the face was full of depression and extremely ugly, the pupils were constricted, and the eyebrows seemed to be staring at the dark clouds in cooperation.

"That groom actually came in person, it seems that he really doesn't want to give up, and his iron heart is about to be broken." Du Chongwei looked a little at a loss, and his voice trembled as he spoke.

Since his family knows his own affairs, after a lot of beatings before and after the siege, Du Chongwei has long lost the spirit he had when he started the army.

The battle was not fought, and Gao Xingzhou's old horseman was too difficult to deal with.

Escape, it's not that he didn't think about it, it's just that when the Han soldiers first came to the city, he was reluctant to give up the assets he had accumulated over the years, and now he has no place to escape if he wants to.

As for the Khitan father who was originally expecting, there was no shadow at all. But he didn't know that in the north, Yelu Ruan personally led the Khitan army, and he was also fighting with Zhao Yanshou under Youzhou City, tug-of-war.

After the siege of these two months, Du Chongwei is getting more and more frightened day by day, but the most terrifying thing is not the Han army outside the city, after all, it has not yet entered it. What really made him restless was the situation in the city, the army, the officials, and the people. Blindly tough measures and excessive accumulation methods can be calmed down for a while, but there will always be a time to taste the consequences.

Du Chongwei could feel the undercurrent in Yedu City at this time, and he was worried recently that if the Han army didn't come in, his subordinates would deal with him. Therefore, at this time, in the Yedu City, the most heavily guarded place is Du Chongwei's Shuaifu, although it is unpopular, but after so many years, it can always bring out some diehards. At the same time, for that Yan soldier, it is more and more important, and once it is supplied, it is better than the Ye soldiers, and it makes the army's morale scattered.

At the beginning of September, Gao Xingzhou could not withstand the pressure of the imperial court, launched an attack, and almost broke the city, but luckily, on the last day of the Han army's attack, it rained, and it returned in vain.

That gave Du Chongwei a little expectation, and after a period of time, he asked for peace with the court and expressed his submission. In his mind, it took so long, and the court probably knew that his strength was difficult to fight with Yedu, and if he continued to fight, he would lose both, as long as he was a little soft and gave the court a step, he would not come to the court to fight him for this town.

The wishful thinking was played well, but before it could be implemented, the Han Emperor actually came in person. No matter how sluggish he is, Du Chongwei can feel Liu Zhiyuan's determination here.

Han Ting's toughness was too much for him to expect.

"Marshal, what should we do now?" The general of the report looked at Du Chongwei nervously, with obvious fear on his face: "Not only is the Han Emperor here, but there are also many new troops, and it is estimated that they are the main force of the forbidden army in Tokyo." ”

A sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, Du Chongwei sat on the seat covered with mink cushions in a gloomy manner, noticed the fear of the general, rushed up in a breath, and scolded viciously: "What to do, how do I know what to do?" Idiot, what do you say? ”

When he was angry, the generals waiting in the hall couldn't help but bow their heads. Then, a person muttered very quietly: "Trapped in a lonely city, the soldiers are short of food, how can you hold the imperial army." Mo Ruo took advantage of the fish to die and broke the net, and surrendered ......"

If someone dared to surrender before, it is estimated that Du Chongwei would go crazy directly and kill people. But at this time, as soon as these words fell, Du Chongwei did not get angry, but subconsciously said: "Descend? If you hurt the court like that before, will the court accept it? ”

The few generals below were silent. However, in the silence, Du Chongwei felt an atmosphere that made his heart beat.

A little panicked, Du Chongwei waved his hand like a fly: "Ben Shuai should think about a way to break the game." Wait for you to go and command the troops first, restrain the soldiers, and defend Yedu for me, and don't let go......"

After the discussion was dismissed, two officers with armor uniforms that were obviously different from Ye Bing's colors gathered together and discussed quietly. These two people were Yan generals who were originally left behind in Yedu by the Khitans, and the general who took the lead was named Zhang Lian.

"General, the Emperor of Han actually drove the expedition in person, Yecheng must not be able to hold it, Du Chongwei's ship is about to sink, we can't accompany him to die!" The officer who followed Zhang Lian whispered: "Fang Caitang, looking at those generals, I'm afraid they all have the intention of surrendering, we have to prepare early!" ”

Listening to the words of his subordinates, Zhang Lian's rough face was also sad, and he replied casually: "Ready?" What to prepare? Surrender? ”

The officer nodded hurriedly: "This kind of thing, sooner rather than later!" ”

His subordinates spoke boldly, Zhang Lian couldn't help glaring at him, looked around weakly, and found that no one was paying attention to them, so he pulled them back to the barracks, and said, "Do you think Ben Jiang has not thought about it?" We clashed with the Han army before, and we also killed a lot of people, how to surrender? ”

"If we surrender, can the court still blame us for this? If so, will there be anyone who dares to surrender to the imperial court in the future? The officer replied with a big grin.

Zhang Lian couldn't help but take a breath, and his expression was still slightly hesitant: "But...... It would be nice if there was someone who referred you. ”

The subordinates still wanted to persuade him, but he was stopped by Zhang Lian waving his hand: "Don't worry, let's see the situation." Tell me to go down, and then let the brethren give me some alertness, for this is a fatal moment. By the way, don't give those mad dogs who are in charge of the war......"

"Yes!"

In fact, after learning that the Han Emperor personally led the army to the north, not only these Yan soldiers, but also other Ye soldiers also had all kinds of thoughts, and not many people were willing to follow Du Chongwei to fight the court to the end.

Even, Du Chongwei himself did not have the idea and courage to go all the way to the black......

If Liu Zhiyuan knew that just the news of his royal presence had made the situation in the city like this, he would probably be able to laugh proudly.
