Chapter 78: Take Control of the Yan Kingdom
At this time, Zang Cha came to the open ground from the side of the main hall, and was suddenly shocked, where is this rebellion, it was Zhao Jun who came over, and his subordinates were difficult to resist, and they were already overwhelmed.
"It's Zang Cha, that's Zang Cha!"
Zhong Liyang looked at Zang Cha and pointed his finger and spoke loudly.
Zang Cha also saw the enemy general standing at the palace gate commanding, and Zhong Liyang next to him. It turned out that Zhong Liyang, a traitor, lured the wolf into the room, and there was an abnormality in the west city gate, it was very likely that he opened the city gate and let it in, Zang Cha quickly thought of this.
"Grab Zang Cha quickly!"
Li Zuoche gave the order, seeing that he was about to break through the enemy's defensive line.
"You all give it to me!"
Zang Cha sent all the more than 100 people around him, and then slipped into the harem.
On the harem side, only a small number of guards remained here, and the chamberlains and palace maids and concubines were all panicked.
Zang Cha ran to the fence and said loudly, "Fetch me a ladder!" ”
He was to escape over the wall and lead the army of the city back to the palace.
Who knows, when he climbed the wall through the ladder, he saw that there were Zhao cavalry all outside the wall.
"Someone..."
Immediately, a cavalry archer shot an arrow at him, but fortunately he reacted quickly and lay down in time, and the arrow "swished" over his head.
The palace was surrounded, there was no way to go to the sky, there was no way to enter the ground, Zang Cha was completely desperate, so he had to run back to the bedroom, where his beloved concubine was still here, enjoying a moment of warmth before dying.
Outside the main hall, after a fierce battle, the Yan soldiers had been killed, and the rest finally collapsed and fled for their lives.
Li Zuoche left Qian Fan to guard the palace gate and brought a large team of people into the inner palace.
"Carefully, you must find out Zang Cha!"
"Arrest the palace maid and ask, see where Zang Cha is hiding!"
Li Zuoche was giving orders.
Some of the scattered guards of the Yan army resisted stubbornly, and some laid down their arms and surrendered.
The study and dormitory were the first places to be searched.
"Zang Cha is here..."
Li Zuoche walked quickly to the door of the bedroom, several soldiers and halberds were aimed inside, and there was a man and a woman in the room, Zang Cha and a beautiful woman.
Zang Cha clenched his sword, looking like he was going to resist to the end on the surface, but in fact he was panicked and frightened inside.
The concubine's delicate body trembled, and she was very frightened.
Zhong Liyang shouted angrily: "Zang Cha, you traitor who killed the king, I killed you to avenge King Yan!" ”
He drew his sword and charged in.
Suddenly, several soldiers moved together and captured Zhong Liyang with lightning speed.
Zhong Liyang turned to Li Zuoche and said in amazement: "Guangwujun, what is this for?" ”
Li Zuoche said expressionlessly: "Zang tea is at my disposal, and there will be no more Yan Wang in the future." From then on, the people of Yandi were all subjects of Zhao. I am on the king's orders to go on an expedition this time to seize the Yan Land. ”
After Zhong Liyang heard this, he was angry and angry, it turned out that he had been deceived, and the funny thing was that he was still fantasizing about setting up a new monarch just now.
"Hey, you bastard... He..."
He wanted to scold He Yan to vent, but he looked around but couldn't find He Yan!
When Zang Cha was captured, it was when Zhong Liyang knew the truth. Although it was to serve the king, He Yan had a clear conscience about what he had done, but he was unwilling to face Zhong Liyang, who was deceived, and hid nearby in advance.
"He Yan, you liar, you can't die well...."
Zhong Liyang scolded.
His angry scolding, He Xian could hear it clearly.
Li Zuoche walked up to Zhong Liyang and said earnestly: "General Zhongli, you have made great contributions, King Zhao and I are grateful to you, I hope you and I can work together to assist King Zhao!" ”
"Phew..."
Zhong Liyang spat at Li Zuoche and scolded: "I am a subject of Yan State, how can I work for other countries, you will not end well!" ”
"Kill..."
With Li Zuoche's order, Zhong Liyang was pierced in the throat by a sword and died full of anger.
If you don't kill Zhong Liyang, it will become an unstable factor, which Li Zuoche doesn't want to see, and he will kill him if he should kill it, and there is no ambiguity.
He Yan walked over and looked at Zhong Liyang's body, feeling deeply pity and a little ashamed.
Li Zuoche patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zhong Liyang has made great contributions to Zhao Guoguo, and people outside will only know that he died in battle, and the imperial court will reward the family members of the heroes." ”
He Yan immediately understood.
Li Zuoche returned to the door of the bedroom and looked at Zang Cha, who was stubborn on the surface but scared in his heart.
He said gently: "Zang Cha, give you a way to live." As long as the edict is issued, the entire Yan State surrenders to the Zhao State, and all the Yan troops and officials surrender, you will not only have no worries about your life, but you will also be a great hero, and the court will crown you as a 'king'. ”
This was discussed by Zhao Xie with him in advance, and there would be knighthood, but there would be no official position, let alone real power.
Immediately, he changed his words and said heavily: "If you resist, not only will you not survive, but you will also destroy the three clans, and you, a woman, will also be buried with you." ”
The concubine took Zang Cha's arm and begged, "King, shall we descend?" ”
With a "dang chang", Zang Cha's saber fell to the ground. If he could not die, of course he would not choose to die.
The soldiers rushed into the house and captured Zang Cha.
In the palace, all the chamberlains and maids were gathered in the open space outside the main hall.
Zang Cha was in the study, writing the surrender edict as required.
The movements of the palace were known to the Yan army in the city one after another, and some generals brought people to this side.
Outside the gate of the palace, a Yan army of more than 1,000 people arrived and confronted the peripheral Zhao army.
"All down your arms!"
This is Zang Cha's voice, Zang Cha, Li Zuoche and others appeared.
Zang Cha said loudly: "The widow has decided to surrender to the Zhao State, we will all be subjects of the Zhao State in the future, and we will quickly put down our weapons and surrender." ”
The morale of the Yan army itself is not high, even the master has surrendered, where will the soldiers go to fight with the Zhao army again, and they have laid down their weapons.
Zhao Jun quickly went up and surrendered his weapons.
Zang Cha went to the city gates and military camps one by one, and ordered the local soldiers to surrender, and within a day, the control of Jicheng fell into the hands of Zhao Jun.
Li Zuoche sent an order to speed up the soldiers who were still in the north, and sent an order in the name of Zang Cha to let the defenders from all over the country surrender and wait for the reorganization of the Zhao army.
At the same time, he wrote a letter and sent fast horses to the south, to report the good news to the monarch in time, so as to add joy to the sacrifice of the first year of the year.
