Chapter 919: A coward, a tough guy

Chang'an City, Imperial Palace.

The gate of the forbidden palace had been smashed open, and Su Zhe rode in with his head held high, and behind him was a large number of imperial forest troops led by Xu Chu, who entered the imperial city.

Liu Bei abandoned the city and fled, and the palace had just received the news, and it had already become a pot of porridge, and the palace maids and eunuchs were scurrying like headless flies.

As for the 2,000 Han Imperial Forest Army left in the city, of course, they could resist the Wei army's troops, so they could only protect Liu Bei's concubines and princes and fled in a hurry.

Xu Chu led the Imperial Forest Army and entered the palace, and the enemy army who was too late to flee in the future was killed without leaving a piece of armor.

Su Zhe rode his horse with his head held high, and under the protection of the soldiers, he went straight to the Golden Palace.

Ascending the high steps, Hu Che'er flew up, and the hammer in his hand slammed into the closed temple door.

With the loud sound of cracking, the closed door shattered, and the golden hall with cups and plates in disarray came into Su Zhe's eyes.

Su Zhe instigated the Red Rabbit, entered the empty hall, stepped on the jade steps, and came to the dragon seat.

He turned over and dismounted, turned around majestically, and sat down on the dragon throne with his sleeves high.

Su Zhe, who was high above, looked out of the hall with cold eyes, and the entire Chang'an City was under his feet.

Hu Che'er immediately knelt down and congratulated excitedly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on recovering Chang'an." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on recovering Chang'anβ€”"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on recovering Chang'anβ€”"

Thousands of soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army knelt down in unison, and the tsunami-like roar of the mountains echoed in the golden hall.

Su Zhe enjoyed the greetings of all the soldiers, sat on the dragon seat that once belonged to Liu Bei, looked down on the rivers and mountains in Guanzhong, and his chest burned with endless happiness, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

The sound of killing in his ears gradually fell silent, and this heart-wrenching battle for breaking the city was also coming to an end.

The generals came one after another to report the results of the battle, and after the battle was fought, more than half of the Han troops in the city were killed and wounded, and less than 30,000 people escaped, and the remaining more than 20,000 people were either captured or killed.

As for the 40,000 Han troops at the Dutou Fortress in the north of the city, after learning the news of the loss of Chang'an, they decisively abandoned the camp and fled westward, and escaped from the pursuit range of the Wei army by luck.

After this battle, although Liu Bei was lucky to escape in time, his soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, and even the capital Chang'an also fell, which can be said to be a great defeat.

Su Zhe didn't plan to finish the battle, so he cleaned up Liu Bei here, and the attack on Chang'an City had completed his tactical goal, which could be called a success.

Su Zhe issued an order to stop the killing, and ordered the generals to quickly restrain their respective subordinates to prevent the soldiers from killing red-eyed, washing the entire Chang'an City with blood, and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

After all, Chang'an has been broken, and these former Han people have become his people, and he naturally has no need to kill his own people.

Then, Su Zhe ordered to take all the treasures of the Han Treasury and reward the meritorious soldiers of the three armies to comfort them for today's bloody battle.

In the treasury of the Han Kingdom, half of the wealth that Liu Bei transported from Yizhou was hidden, and the number was hundreds of millions.

Previously, Liu Bei, just in case, had secretly ordered these riches to be quietly transported to Liangzhou in case of accidents.

It's a pity that Chang'an City was broken too suddenly, Liu Bei only transported less than one-third of the wealth, and the city was captured by Su Zhe, and all these treasures that could not be taken away naturally fell into the hands of Su Zhe.

Su Zhe didn't spend half of his money, and used the money left by Liu Bei to generously reward the soldiers of the three armies.

As soon as the orders were passed down, Su Zhe ordered the soldiers to rest in Chang'an City for three days, eat and drink enough to recuperate their spirits, and continue to chase Liu Bei to the west, so as to recover Liangzhou and completely destroy the Han Kingdom.

Afterwards, Su Zhe called a banquet in the Golden Palace, and tonight he and the generals drank and carnivaled to celebrate this happy victory.

At this moment, Xu Chu, who was covered in blood, escorted the three captives and returned to the Golden Palace excitedly.

He bowed down and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the minister led the Imperial Forest Army to pursue Hanzhong in the palace, and met Ma Chao's two brothers, escorting Liu Bei's family to escape, and the minister slaughtered Liu Bei's two sons Liu Yong and Liu Li alive, as well as Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Tie, and came to present it to His Majesty's disposal." ”

Liu Bei's two sons?

Su Zhe's eyes lit up, and he looked at the two richly dressed and panicked young men in front of the steps.

He vaguely remembered that Liu Bei had three sons, the crown prince Liu Chan, and the two princes, Liu Yong and Liu Li.

Unexpectedly, Xu Chu was really lucky, although he didn't catch Liu Chan, he captured Liu Bei's other two sons alive.

"Very good, Zhongkang, you have made a great contribution, and I want to reward you heavily." Su Zhe laughed.

Xu Chu waved his hand and said: "The minister doesn't want any heavy reward, Your Majesty can let the minister kill happily today, which is the greatest reward for the minister." ”

"You, you ......" Su Zhe pointed at Xu Chu, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Then, his gaze fell on the front of the steps, and the three captives had murderous intent in their eyes.

"You're the sons of the big-eared thief?" Su Zhe stared at the two teenagers and asked in a deep voice.

That Liu Li suddenly changed color, and scolded Su Zhe angrily: "Su thief, how dare you insult my father!" ”

As for Liu Yong, he stood tremblingly with his hands hanging down, not daring to squeak.

Su Zhe sneered: "It's a kid with backbone, at this point, he still dares to collide with me, but it's a pity, you are Liu Bei's son, if you are not, I appreciate you very much." ”

Before the words fell, Su Zhe's eyes suddenly condensed, and he shouted: "Come on, drag this Liu Li down to me and behead him, and hang his head on the head of Chang'an City, so that the officials and people of the whole city can see it clearly." ”

The order was passed down, and as soon as Xu Chu waved his hand, several Royal Forest soldiers rushed up, dragged Liu Li and walked out.

Liu Li was immediately stunned.

He obviously didn't expect that Su Zhe was not afraid of him, Liu Bei's son, at all, and he would kill him when he said it, and there was no room at all.

He was so confused that he was obviously not ready to face death, and he even forgot to resist and struggle, and was directly dragged out by the Royal Forest Sergeant.

"Third brother, third brother......" Liu Yong's face on the side turned pale, and he wanted to catch Liu Li, but he was helpless.

He could only watch his younger brother being dragged away by the Wei army and beheaded.

"How about it, Liu Yong, do you want to learn from your younger brother, be generous with me, and be brave and righteous, I can fulfill you!" Su Zhejian looked at Liu Yong, and his tone was cold.

Liu Yong was silent, cold sweat rolled on his forehead, his body trembled, and the word fear was all written on his face.

It seems that this Liu Yong is different from Liu Li, and he seems to be a soft egg.

Su Zhe's expression softened a little, and then he asked: "Liu Yong, I will give you a chance to live now, if you are willing to surrender to the minister, I will spare you death." ”

He wants to recruit Liu Yong.

You must know that although this Liu Yong is not a famous general, he is Liu Bei's own son and the prince of the Han Kingdom, and his identity is of special significance.

Just imagine, if even the grandiose prince surrendered to Su Zhe, how important the symbolism must be, and what a major blow it would be to those remaining Han resistance.

Many people will think, you see, even Liu Bei's son is afraid of death and surrendered to Wei, what is the need for us to resist anymore, wouldn't it be better to surrender to Wei together.

As for killing Liu Li, it is to give a bloody warning to those recalcitrant people who have illusions, and let them know what will happen if they continue to resist.

One kills and one lives, Enwei side by side, this is Su Zhe's way of kingship.

When Liu Yong heard that there was a chance to live, his eyes immediately lit up, and he opened his mouth to say the words of surrender.

The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them hard.

He still wants to have a face.

He knew his identity, if he descended to the Wei State like this, what a humiliating blow it would be to his father, Emperor Liu Bei, and what kind of contempt and spurning he would receive.

For a while, Liu Yong hesitated, and it was not to fall, and it was not to fall.

Su Zhe didn't have the patience to wait for him, and waved his hand impatiently: "I have already given you the opportunity, if you don't surrender, then go and die with your brother." ”

The order was issued, and as soon as Xu Chu waved his hand, several Royal Forest Sergeants stepped forward and wanted to drag Liu Yong to follow in the footsteps of his younger brother Liu Li.

In an instant, Liu Yong's face changed in shock, and all his reserved hesitation collapsed in an instant, shattering into pieces.

Plop!

As soon as his legs were weak, he knelt on the ground, bowed deeply, and shouted in fear: "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender to Your Majesty, please spare Your Majesty~~"
