The city gate was wide open, and Zhao Yuan and Zhao Guang walked in front of the team and entered the city gate first. On both sides of the city gate, the surrendered Zhongshan soldiers fell to their knees, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. The so-called success and defeat, even so. According to custom, all soldiers who participated in the war were reduced to slavery and their property confiscated; The officials of the enemy countries in the city, especially the generals of the defending army, inevitably escaped such a fate. It is a reward for the victors and a punishment for the losers.

It is precisely because of this that when Zhao Yong entered the city, what he saw was the people kneeling on both sides and the surrendered soldiers, their heads bowed deeper, facing the winners, they were complete losers, and what was waiting for them was a sharp fate. Zhao Yong's heart not only had the pleasure of breaking through the city, but also unconsciously felt a little more depressed in his heart, and his brows were furrowed. Le Yi, who was a little behind him, seemed to know what he was thinking, took two steps slowly, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "Your Majesty, this is a move to show the prestige of the military, if you want to show grace, don't do it at this time!" ”

Zhao Yong glanced back at him, nodded, and had to walk towards the city guard mansion with this mood.

When Zhao Yong and the others left the sight of the people, the soldiers and people on both sides suddenly saw that at the back of the team, a huge stretcher seemed to appear in the field of vision, eight people wearing Zhao Jun clothes, holding this stretcher, with serious expressions, four people on one side, walking slowly. It seems that some kind of ritual is going on

There was obviously a person lying on the stretcher, but in the face of this scene of entering the city, he seemed quite calm, and never sat up, as if he did not have a trace of feeling for this grand scene. However, as these eight people slowly approached, the kneeling people raised their heads one after another, and when they wanted to see the true face of this person, they saw that it was none other than the previous Shiyi guard, Sima Chong, who was lying on this stretcher.

I saw Sima Chong's body, still wearing the armor of the Zhongshan Army, and the whole person seemed to be asleep, if it weren't for the shocking wound in his neck, I'm afraid everyone thought he was still alive. According to Zhao Yong's instructions, Zhao Jun not only cleaned up his body briefly, but also kept his body well. The most striking thing is that it is also covered with a Honghu totem flag of Zhao Jun.

Seeing this scene, the people who knelt down were still able to hold themselves, but some of the surrendering troops on both sides couldn't hold back their excitement and even cried. If it weren't for being escorted by the army of Zhao State to maintain order, I am afraid that he would have rushed out long ago.

Sima Chong may not be an outstanding general, but he was able to accompany this Zhongshan soldier and fight bloodily for more than a month to ensure that Shiyi was not lost, and it was this responsibility and courage that created this steely team. They may have surrendered, but they did not fail, and they were not losers in the face of the Zhao army.

If it is in normal times, Zhao Jun is also used to such a scene, anyway, if anyone cries, he will be whipped over, and sooner or later he will kneel honestly. The troops who came to surrender had their weapons confiscated, and they had no ability to resist. However, this time, they were repeatedly ordered that unless the Zhongshan people resisted, they must not be whipped, not even abused, which made the Zhao soldiers at a loss, and they did not dare to make a mistake. This makes this surrender ceremony, which was originally a demonstration of military might, somewhat sad.

In the city guard, Zhao Yong knelt and sat in the first place, Le Yi and Sima Chong stood on both sides, and the rest of the people stood on both sides in turn. Over there, the officials of Shiyi City, who had been prepared for a long time, began to report the Shiyi people's register, land register, and grain storage in the warehouse one by one. This is the basic step of surrender, as long as the roster and field register are granted to the enemy country, it is equivalent to surrender. What surprised Zhao Jun the most was that the grain reserves in Shiyi City had been exhausted five days ago, and even the people's homes did not have much food to eat. In the past few days, the resistance of the Zhongshan army has also been carried by starvation, and even most of the soldiers in the wounded barracks have been without food for more than ten days. The generals sighed for a long time, thinking that if it weren't for the Zhongshan army's lack of food, I am afraid that when this Shiyi city will be able to be breached, it is unknown, it seems that today's victory is somewhat lucky.

"Please show me." Wu Guang saw that the handover was over, so he asked Zhao Yong to arrange the next work.

Zhao Yong nodded, looked left and right, frowned, and said sullenly: "Why didn't you see the deputy general of the Shiyi garrison and come to see Gu?" ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other's side, and indeed they didn't find the Shiyi guard, it turned out that the officials of Shiyi City, you look at me, I look at you, I was uneasy, looking at Zhao Yong's expression, I am afraid that if this deputy general does not appear quickly, he will be killed by Zhao Yong. If it was because of this incident, Zhao Yong opened the killing ring, but the gains outweighed the losses.

Zhao Yong saw that everyone was just looking left and right, but no one answered, just a trace of pity for the Zhongshan defenders, suddenly turned into boundless resentment, maybe Le Yi was right, mercy for the enemy will only make him aggrieved, not to mention that he was able to break the city this time, and he really relied on a little luck. Then he relented and said coldly: "If he doesn't appear, he doesn't have to appear again!" ”

Everyone is a fine character, looking at Zhao Yong's expression and tone, they know that this "no need to appear again" is actually to let the other party die, and it is definitely not a simple matter of not meeting again. has a little more understanding of Zhao Yong.

Just as Zhao Yong was about to continue, he only heard the crying outside the door, as if he had encountered something extremely sad. But to the ears of Zhao Jun, it was as if Zhongshan was mourning that he had become a prisoner. Look at Zhao Yong again, if the cold expression just now was a little angry, then now, he is extremely angry, and he is on the verge of going berserk.

"Bastard!" Zhao Yong stood up suddenly, kicked over a few cases in front of him, pulled out his sword with a "cang" sound, pointed to the door and said: "Come with Gu, Gu really want to see if this Shiyi City is still so tenacious!" As he spoke, the murderous aura was already overflowing.

Zhao Jun and the others couldn't hold it back for a long time, Zhao Yuan and Zhao Guang hurriedly took the lead in going out, thinking that they wouldn't let those Zhongshan people who had not yet died assassinate Zhao Yong, and they would not be able to survive at that time. The two had just walked out of the gate and were about to look for the source of their crying, but they found that Nakayama's troops were tied hand and foot in front of the door, and many people were crying and surrounded the steps in front of the square. The surrounding Zhao Jun was obstructed by the order and was not allowed to beat and scold them, so they had to keep pushing and shoving them to leave.

Zhao Guang and the others didn't understand what they meant, so they hurriedly stepped forward and opened a path to look, but saw that under the steps, it was the body of Sima Chong who was placed by Zhao Jun. And right next to the corpse, a general wearing Zhongshan armor fell in a pool of blood, and above him, a blood-stained step was shocking.

No matter how stupid the two were, they knew what was going on, and they were about to ask for details, when they saw Zhao Yong coming out with everyone in the house, so they had to report it first. When Zhao Yong heard that someone was martyred, his resentful anger suddenly turned into surprise, and then when he heard that it was the deputy general of Shiyi City, he didn't know how, and he felt a wave of nausea in his heart. When he slowly walked to the two corpses, looking at the guard's eyes full of shame, a feeling of dizziness came to his heart, his throat was sweet, his steps were vain, and he took a few steps back. Xin Le Yi had been observing for a long time, knowing that Zhao Yong's mind had been up and down since he joined the army, and he had really been tossed a lot, but this time he saw that his expression was wrong, his face was like gold paper, and he knew that he had collided with his heart again, so he quickly dragged him down. Then he said: "Your Majesty, let's go back and rest for a while." ”

Zhao Yong nodded, and reluctantly walked back, but his hand dragged Le Yi, and he didn't dare to let go. Zhao Guang and the others also discovered the abnormality and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Zhao Yong pushed their hands away, as if he didn't dare to stare at the corpses of the two, and said word by word: "Restrain yourself." With that, he walked towards the house with Le Yi and the others.

Zhao Guang and the two looked at each other, and they both saw each other's nervousness. The two followed Zhao Yong all the way, and they didn't know how many times he had fainted, and they didn't know if it was a physical problem, or if the pressure on the battlefield was too great, but no matter which one it was, it made the two feel that it was not a good thing.

After a while, after the two of them reined in, they were about to resume their lives, but they saw Wu Guang hurriedly coming over, and the two hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Sima, does the king have a life?" Although both of them wanted to ask Zhao Yong how his health was, if it was too direct, lest it reach the ears of a third person and make Zhao Yong unhappy, so they asked euphemistically.

But Wu Guang didn't know what the two were thinking, and said with a faint smile: "After the king sat down in the hall for a while, it was no longer in the way. It's just that I arranged one thing for the old man, which is more urgent, so I can only hurry up. ”

The hall of the two said that Zhao Yong was fine, and the stone in his heart had been put down, but when he heard Wu Guang say that there was an order, he was a little curious, "I don't know what the king has to arrange?" If you have the strength to do it, you will definitely do your best to help Sima. ”

"Ugh." Wu Guang smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency has decided to personally preside over the funeral tomorrow and bury Sima Chong and the deputy general who has just been martyred!" ”

"Huh?" After hearing this, Zhao and Li were also surprised.

Early the next morning, the people of Shiyi City were still asleep, but they heard the sound of "wooing" instrumental music outside the window, and later, the heavy drum beat also suddenly sounded. Everyone thought to themselves: Could it be that the Zhongshan reinforcements are coming? So they got up to see what was going on.

Who knew that when he opened the window, he saw filial piety belts hanging on both sides of the street, and a team of Zhao Jun had white filial piety wrapped around his head and stood solemnly on both sides of the street. Just when he was puzzled, a group of people dressed in linen and filial piety appeared on the street, led by twelve people, eight of whom carried a coffin, and the other four carried another, slowly appearing in front of the whole team. When they walked in, they found that these people were actually Zhongshan soldiers who surrendered yesterday.

The twelve people in front, carrying two coffins, walked towards the City Lord's Mansion with steady steps, and the people of Shiyi who didn't know why also walked out of their homes and followed the funeral procession to the square of the City Lord's Mansion. I saw that on the square, the memorial utensils had already been prepared, and the twelve people placed the two coffins behind the incense case, and everyone saw that the coffins of the two were still covered with the banner of the Zhongshan Army.

Before the incense case, Zhao Yong stood there, not knowing what he was thinking.
