Shangjing is becoming more and more unstable, although the Song army did not attack the city at all, but under the psychological offensive of the Great Song Dynasty, the hearts of the people in the city are becoming more and more chaotic, and even many nobles and officials have secretly contacted the Great Song Dynasty.

Ten days later, at night, the south gate of Zhongjing City exploded into ruins with a bang, and this explosion was different from the previous ones, because it was divided into two sounds, and the inside and outside exploded together, and as a result, the strength of the Zhongjing City wall could not withstand this internal and external attack, and the tall south gate also collapsed.

And at this time, Cao Mata, who had been prepared for a long time, also gave an order, and the forward Song army also immediately entered the city, during this time, there were constantly ministers in the city in contact with them, and this time someone was finally willing to take action, so in addition to the inside and outside cooperation, even if the city gate was blocked in advance, it was still blown up, and the road was cleared for them to enter the city.

The people in the city had already been woken up by the sound of the explosion, and they quickly guessed what was going on, but thinking of the propaganda of the Song army in the past few days, as long as they did not resist, the Song army would not disturb the people, which made most of the people stay at home honestly.

After Yelu Zongzhen was woken up, he sent additional troops to defend and convened ministers to discuss the meeting, but what he didn't expect was that after these ministers received his summons, nearly half of them couldn't shirk it for various reasons, which made Yelu Zongzhen's face pale with anger, because he already knew the reason why these ministers didn't come.

After the Song army entered the city, the progress was also extremely rapid, many people in the Liao army have secretly taken refuge, and the rest of the people also knew that the general trend had gone, so the Song army was not hindered at all at first, and it occupied most of the Zhongjing City very smoothly, until they killed near the palace, they encountered relatively stubborn resistance, after all, compared to the miscellaneous army outside, the palace guards still retain considerable loyalty and combat effectiveness.

But this is only the last dying struggle of the Liao State, the imposing Song army quickly broke through the imperial city, and then entered the palace and captured Yelu Zongzhen alive, and when the Song army rushed into the main hall, Yelu Zongzhen was also very calm, it seemed that he had expected this day for a long time, and he didn't even resist.

However, Yelu Zongzhen is the emperor after all, and Song and Liao used to be brothers in the past, strictly speaking, Zhao Zhen still has to call each other a younger brother, so although Cao Yu caught Yelu Zongzhen, he didn't dare to humiliate him, but he had to send someone to take care of it, and even the concubines and children in Yelu Zongzhen's palace were all imprisoned with him, and no one was allowed to approach.

When Li Zhang came to Zhongjing, the dust had settled here, and many Liao ministers took refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, which also made Cao Mata take over Zhongjing very smoothly, and now the entire Zhongjing has been under the jurisdiction of the Song army, and Di Qing also occupied Shangjing, and the defenders of Raozhou heard the news, and they also heard the news, and now only Liao Guo Tokyo has not been defeated.

Liao Kingdom Tokyo was once destroyed in the Great Yanlin Rebellion, and later although it was rebuilt, the scale of the city also declined greatly, and there were not many garrisons, and Goryeo knew this before, so he dared to send troops to attack Tokyo, but was ambushed by the Liao army, and was destroyed by the Liao army in one fell swoop.

Although many Liao people took refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, there were still many people who were unwilling to surrender, and these people have now fled to Tokyo, with Goryeo as the support behind them, and they may not have the strength to fight with the Song army.

The first thing Li Zhang did after entering Beijing was to come to the palace of Liao, he wanted to see Yelu Zongzhen with his own eyes, speaking of which, when he was an envoy to Liao, he had seen Yelu Zongzhen, but at that time the Great Song Dynasty was weak, Yelu Zongzhen was also a high-ranking appearance, it is estimated that he would never have dreamed that one day he would become a prisoner of the Great Song Dynasty.

The imperial palace in Zhongjing is quite large, it is said that it is modeled after the Taiji Palace of the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately the Taiji Palace in Chang'an has been destroyed in the war, and Li Zhang has not seen it.

The last time Li Zhang went to Liao, he only stayed in Zhongjing for a few days, and soon went to the bowl, so he didn't have the opportunity to visit this imperial city at all, and he was not in that mood at the beginning, but now that the overall situation has been decided, Li Zhang also walked around the imperial city of Liao very leisurely, and finally came to the palace of Yelu Zongzhen under house arrest.

Cao Yu put Yelu Zongzhen under house arrest here, except that he had no freedom, the food and drink were provided as usual, and even Yelu Zongzhen's concubines could be arranged to sleep at night, but as a prisoner under the order, Yelu Zongzhen really didn't have such thoughts.

Li Zhang stepped into the main hall and saw Yelu Zongzhen sitting in the main hall at a glance, and what was even more surprising was that the other party was holding a book in his hand at this time, and seemed to be reading, and at this time, the general who was guarding also introduced in a low voice: "Master Hou, after Emperor Liao was captured, in addition to eating and drinking, he stayed here most of the time to read and write, and he was very calm. ”

Li Zhang nodded after hearing this, and then stepped forward, and Yelu Zongzhen seemed to have heard the footsteps, and turned his head to look this way, when he saw Li Zhang, he didn't seem to recognize it at first, after all, the two hadn't met a few times, but he thought for a moment and finally recognized Li Zhang, and then couldn't help but say with a sinking face: "Why are you, why didn't the emperor of your Great Song Dynasty come?" ”

"Hehe, you are just a prisoner of my Great Song Dynasty, with the respect of my emperor, how can I easily come to see you?" Li Zhang also sneered at this time and replied, although the other party was already a prisoner, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he had a condescending tone, which was really unpleasant, and even Li Zhang had the impulse to see Yelu Zongzhen for the first time, that is, he wanted to beat the other party hard!

"So, you're here to taunt me?" Yelu Zongzhen didn't seem to be angry when he heard Li Zhang's words, but put down the book in his hand and stared at Li Zhang.

"I can't talk about ridicule, it's just that the Liao State and my Great Song Dynasty have been opposed for hundreds of years, and I also want to see it when it collapses!" Li Zhang smiled faintly and said, Originally, when he came, he wanted to fulfill his wish to beat Yelu Sect back then, but after seeing the other party, he suddenly felt a little interested, and he was not interested in doing it at all.

Yelu Zongzhen's face was very ugly at this time, because from Li Zhang's words, he also thought of the hundreds of years of the founding of the Great Liao Kingdom, but the foundation of these hundreds of years was all destroyed in his own hands, so what kind of face did he have to meet his ancestors and ancestors in the future?

However, Yelu Zongzhen quickly adjusted his mood again, although Zhongjing had been broken and he had become a prisoner, he still left a way back for Da Liao, which was the only thing he could do for Da Liao.
