1144 The Night of the Fall

In the night in Yanjing City, two carriages slowly drove out of Chongxiao Temple surrounded by soldiers armed with torches, and walked along the long palace wall all the way to the Xuanyang Gate of the Jinguo Palace.

Entering from the Xuanyang Gate, the long passage looks a little dark, and the six departments and other government offices that were familiar in the past in the east palace wall are shrouded in thick night at this moment, while the Taimiao Temple and other places in the west are brightly lit at this time.

The carriage stopped in front of the Yingtianmen that really entered the palace, and the begging stone martyrs and Wanyan Shoudao slowly walked down from the carriage, although the Yingtianmen was still brightly lit, but after leaving only a few palace maids and eunuchs on duty in the entire palace, the entire Yingtianmen seemed to be extremely deserted, and even under the cover of night, it seemed a little lonely and tragic at this moment.

The begging stone lie gods and slaves turned around and looked at the Xuanyang Gate behind them, and along the Xuanyang Gate, they went straight forward, which were the Fengyi Gate, Jingfeng Gate, and Duanli Gate of the South City Gate, and outside the three city gates, there were tens of thousands of troops of the Song people, and they would attack the entire Yanjing City tomorrow.

I could vaguely see the torches on the city wall wandering, still patrolling the city walls around the entire Yanjing City, and Wanyan Shoudao's gaze slowly moved from far to near, and finally fell on the body of the begging stone martyr god slave.

The atmosphere between the two is a little depressing, and their hearts are also extremely heavy, the generals in the city have been assembled at the Taimiao, and now they are waiting for their choice, whether to abandon the city and surrender or hold on, and now the choice falls on the two of them.

"The palace has been ...... It's empty. Wanyan Shoudao said with emotion in the cold wind.

The begging stone martyrs nodded silently, even if the current saint Wan Yan Jing has already taken the imperial expedition, the majesty of the palace is still there, even if it is in this situation, they still have great respect for the palace in front of them.

Naturally, the fact that Wan Yan Jing took almost everything with him when he left the palace was enough to prove that the saint had obviously decided in his heart to give up the entire Yanjing.

"Abandon Yanjing and surrender to the Song people, rush to the aid of the saint, maybe the saint will treat us with a disrespect for the will." The begging stone spirits looked up at the calm and silent night sky, and he never expected the Dajin Kingdom to come to such a desolate state today, and even now, he still didn't understand why the Dajin Kingdom suddenly came to such a point step by step.

"Ye Qing's words must not be believed, the Mongolians are fierce and violent, and they have a deep grudge with my Dajin Kingdom for many years, although there are countless strong generals under the command of the Holy Lord now, but...... As far as the Khitan Liao people are against our Dajin, they are even more threatening to our Dajin foundation than the Mongols at this moment. Wujing Road is the foundation of my Dajin country, and I can't lose it. There is Wujing Road in hand, just like the Song people often say: Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. Wanyan Shoudao was also embarrassed in his heart.

Seeing all this in front of him, he will be taken over by the Song people tomorrow, and the taste in his heart at this time is naturally mixed, full of deep helplessness and emotion.

The two of them have now decided to abandon the city and surrender, not because they are afraid of the Song people, but because of Ye Qing's words, they have to think about the safety of the current saint who is far away in Zhongjing.

Ye Qing was willing to let them go, and even prepared enough war horses for them, although Ye Qing was by no means well-intentioned, but at the moment, for them, they couldn't figure out what ulterior motives Ye Qing had behind this move.

"I really want to burn all this in front of me and leave the Song people in ruins." The gods and slaves of Qishilie were unwilling, when the imperial court moved the capital from Shangjing to here, and after years of construction, although today's Yanjing is not as prosperous as Lin'an and other prosperous cities of the Song Dynasty, but after all, it is also a lot of hard work of their golden people.

"It's easy to destroy a city, but what should the people do?" Wanyan Shoudao sighed helplessly.

The gods and slaves of Qishilie sighed, after the defeat of Niangziguan, the Song people slaughtered the Jin people Now he knows, and even knows that if Yelu Yue hadn't stopped Yelu Yixue, I'm afraid the Song people would have slaughtered more of their soldiers.

And if he really burns down this Yanjing City now, I am afraid that the people here will also suffer, especially those Jin people who migrated here with the imperial court, and naturally they will bear the brunt of the Song people's anger.

There are a total of thirteen city gates in Yanjing City, three in the east, west and south, but only the back of the palace is four city gates, and now the Jin people are guarding the city wall, with Wanyan Shoudao and the begging stone martyrs have chosen to abandon the city and surrender, the east gate has naturally become the top priority of their investigation.

Whether there is a large army of the Song people outside, and whether there are Song people who will ambush them on the road they pass through, have become a question that the begging stone martyrs must be careful with Wanyan Shoudao.

And the spies on the city gate will also report to the two of them from time to time about the situation outside the east city gate, and even now there are spies who have begun to drive out of the city gate, taking advantage of the night to investigate whether there are any Song ambushes on the way from the east city gate Xuanyao Gate to Jizhou.

Wanyan Shoudao and the begging stone lie gods and slaves in the city did not have the slightest sleepiness at all, how to appease the defenders and generals who were stuck in the city was what they had to do now, including all kinds of matters to leave Yanjing early tomorrow morning.

Similarly, Ye Qing outside the city did not feel much sleep, Yelu Yixue was going to Yuguan, Ye Qing had already informed Yelu Yue, Yelu Yue did not show any opinion on this, as if Yelu Yixue was no longer her person, but had completely become a general under Ye Qing.

"Dong Chao went to Xijing Road after Danzhou, although he didn't have much eyeliner outside the Guan, but he was able to find out some of the war between Wan Yan Jing and Temujin." Ye Qing looked at the map in front of him, because Yanjing City was in front of him, he still didn't feel sleepy at all.

Just like a person is about to get something he has coveted for a long time, Ye Qing's mood is still full of unbearable excitement and excitement at this time, winning Yanjing means too much to him, and the degree of success makes him a little unbelievable, even as unreal as a dream.

Ye Luyue next to her leaned over, looked at Ye Qing's markings on the map, and said softly, "Are you still very worried about Yan Jing's defeat to Temujin?" ”

"I'm not worried about him defeating, I'm worried that Temujin wants to capture him. Judging from Wan Yan Jing's personality and his simple decision when he left Yanjing, Wan Yan Jing has already made up his mind to live and die with Jin Guo. If he loses, he may still believe that he can turn the tide, and there may be a glimmer of hope in his heart, but if he is captured by Temujin, I am afraid that Wan Yan Jing will not be able to accept the reality that Jin Guo will be destroyed in his hands. Ye Qing said with some concern.

Ye Luyue's gaze wandered on the map, Yuguan, Jizhou, Danzhou, Ruzhou, Wuzhou and Yunzhou six places were specially marked by Ye Qing, and if the six places were connected into a line, you would find that these six places were like the first line of defense in the sixteen states of Yanyun, all of which were built on those broken Great Wall.

"You don't want to finish saving Yan Jing, do you?" Ye Luyue raised her head and looked at Ye Qing, who had thin cheeks and frowning brows, and asked.

Ye Qing was slightly stunned, looked at Ye Luyue and smiled: "Why do you think so?" ”

"Feeling." Ye Luyue shifted her gaze back to the map: "As expected, tomorrow morning, the begging stone martyrs and gods will surrender from Xuanyao Gate with Wanyan Shoudao, and then they will go to Zhongjing Road in the direction of Jizhou." Because since you have already taken the two prefectures of Danzhou and Ruzhou, you will naturally not let them rush to Dading Mansion on Zhongjing Road from here, but ...... But you can start from Danzhou and go directly to Xijing Road. ”

"Maybe." Ye Qing sighed and looked up at the top of the tent, now he didn't make up his mind, whether to save Yan Jing, because if he finished helping Yan Jing, it would be equivalent to starting a head-on conflict with Temujin.

He didn't know if Temujin would immediately retaliate against him once he participated.

Far away in Dading Mansion, 500 miles away, Wei Shao Wang Wanyan Yongji has always been guilty, the rebellion of the Khitan Liao people, he has always believed that it is inseparable from the policy of two households plus one household that he suggested, and this is why at the first time of the Khitan Liao rebellion, he immediately rushed to Zhongjing Road to assess the rebellion.

Now, whether it is Di Jier, Ji Sizhong, Du Thorn and others, they have won the victory in the assessment rebellion, and even once they were able to oppress the Khitan Liao people without any power to fight back, and they can only retreat one after another.

With the completion of the renovation of Wanyan Chengyu and Wanyan Silie in Dading Mansion, the popularity of the Jin people is getting stronger day by day, and according to the current situation, it is not impossible to quell the rebellion in a short period of time.

So at this critical moment, and now that Wan Yan Jing is already sitting in Zhongjing in person, Wan Yan Yongji feels that he should do something about it, instead of staying in Dading Mansion all the time and not going anywhere.

Li Shi'er personally brought hot soup for Wan Yan Jing, looked at the queen who was looking at him at the moment, and said with a slight smile: "What's the matter with the queen?" ”

Li Shi'er hesitated and wanted to speak, this was not her idea, but now with Wan Yan Jing's visit to Dading Mansion, all the armies have won successive battles against the rebels, and Di Jier and other generals have military exploits to Wan Yan Jing every day.

This made some courtiers above the court begin to look at the military exploits of Di Jier and others, and even disagreed in their hearts that the Yelu Liuge brothers are just like this, I am afraid that even if they lead their troops to suppress it, they can defeat the army under the command of Yelu Liuge and get some war exploits back.

There are many people in the court who have such thoughts, but now Wan Yan Jing has sent all the armies to the battlefield, but only the two armies of Wan Yan Chengyu and Wan Yan Silie who have just finished recuperating can be coveted by others.

But because of the surname Wanyan, others had to be discouraged, but this did not prevent the two younger brothers of the queen, who had always been the most favored by the saints, from coming to fight the idea of these two armies that had just finished recuperating, including Wanyan Yongji, who had come to the outside of Wanyan Jing's imperial study at this time.

Wei Shao Wang Wanyan Yongji signaled to the eunuch not to pass through first, and then heard Li Shi'er's voice from inside, under the begging of Li Xi'er and Li Tiege, the helpless queen Li Shi'er had to express to Wan Yan Jing euphemistically, her two brothers also wanted the army to quell the rebellion.

However, the queen is the queen after all, even if her two brothers asked for everything, but after arriving at Li Shi'er, the two brothers' request to take charge of a large army to quell the rebellion became a hope that they could follow Wanyan Chengyu or Wanyan Silie's command to serve the saint and relieve the king's worries.

Outside the imperial study, King Wei Shao Wanyan Yongji, heard the words of the queen Li Shi'er, and his heart couldn't help but relax, it seems that the queen is still very knowledgeable, and at this time, she did not completely beg for the saint from the perspective of fighting for the credit of her two brothers.

Under the help of the eunuchs, Wanyan Yongji, the king of Weishao, walked into the imperial study quickly, saluted Wanyan Jing and the queen Li Shi'er, and then sat down beside him, and said directly: "The minister came here tonight to ask the holy minister to make meritorious contributions...... ”

"Why does the imperial uncle criticize himself so harshly, the rebellion of the Yeluliuge brothers is not because of the fault of the imperial uncle, but because I didn't notice it and trusted the two Yeluliuge brothers too much, which caused today's situation." With the successive battles of the armies from all walks of life, Wan Yanjing's expression at this time also looked much more relaxed than when he first arrived at Dading Mansion.

Although the internal and external troubles have not been completely resolved, but now since he arrived in Dading Mansion, at least with the successive battles of the army, it can be regarded as a good start, and everyone has seen a glimmer of hope.

Similarly, it also made Wan Yanjing more confident than in the past, and he was more convinced that in less than a month, he would be able to completely quell the rebellion in front of him and stabilize Wujing Road again.

"Holy Lord, the minister knows that he is derelict in his duty, if it were not for the minister's proposal to add two households to one household, he would not have let Yeluliuge's thieves make trouble. Therefore, the ministers ask the Holy Lord's permission to allow the ministers to ...... Follow General Yan Chengyu or General Yan Silie, and go out together to sweep away all rebellions for the Holy Lord. Wan Yan Yongji got up and saluted Wan Yan Jing.

Yu Guang unconsciously glanced at the queen Li Shi'er on the side, and when Li Shi'er saw Yan Yongji's gaze at her, her heart instantly understood that the words she had just asked for the Holy Lord were obviously listened to by King Wei Shao word for word.

"Why does Uncle Huang have to take risks? Now that the armies of all walks of life have won successive battles and their morale is high, it will surely not take a few days to completely put down the rebellion. There are no eyes on the battlefield, if the imperial uncle is wronged because of this, I will feel uneasy...... Wan Yan Jing got up and helped Wan Yan Yongji up, and said in a sincere tone.

Wan Yan Jing has always had great trust in Wei Shao Wang Wan Yan Yongji, so he never complained about Wan Yan Yongji at all, and even when Wan Yan Yongji went to Zhongjing Road for the first time, he didn't agree very much.

But it was also in order to allow Wanyan Yongji to alleviate the guilt in his heart because of this, so he reluctantly agreed to let Wanyan Yongji come to Zhongjing Road, but he was never allowed to go to the battlefield in person.

Now that the army has won successive battles, if Wan Yan Yongji is allowed to follow the army and go to the real territory, Wan Yan Jing's heart is naturally very reluctant to take risks against King Wei Shao, not to mention that there is no need to take risks now.

Wanyan Yongji insisted on his own opinion at this time, because with the successive battles of the army, as well as Wanyan Jing's personal conquest, the guilt in his heart increased a lot, and now the officials above the court are talking in private, and all the spearheads are almost pointed at himself, so whether Wanyan Yongji is for his status and prestige above the court in the future, or wants to eliminate the discussion of other officials about him, he has to take this opportunity to excuse himself.

"Holy Lord, the guilt in the minister's heart ......." Wanyan Yongji continued to plead.

Wan Yan Jing sighed again and again, the queen's request for her two brothers, he hadn't thought about it for the time being, and now with Wan Yan Yongji's self-recommendation, it made Wan Yan Jing a little dilemma for a while.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and as the eunuch presented the recital to Wan Yan Jing in a panic, the faces of Wan Yan Yongji and Empress Li Shi'er involuntarily became solemn.

If it is a victory on the battlefield, in the case of successive victories of various armies, Yan Jing will never be disturbed in the middle of the night, unless there is an ...... in the battle ahead.

"Tun Ao and Yi Thorn were defeated by Yelu Kuobu...... Wan Yanjing's expression became solemn and deep.
