Luoyang is the Xijing of the Great Song Dynasty, the largest city between Chang'an and Bianjing, and it must pass through. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

From Tongguan to Bianjing, along the Yellow River all the way to the east, it is almost a flat river, and there is no danger to defend. In this case, the status of Luoyang City has become more and more important, and it has become an important barrier in Bianjing.

But it was such a vital city, and Zhao Zhao, the king of Qin, took it in just one night!

The defender of Luoyang is Wang Gui, one of the ministers who Zhao Ji trusts in Xijing.

Wang Gui's position has also wavered, but because of his son, Wang Gui finally chose Zhao Zhao, and his attitude in the Wutai poetry case directly offended Zhao Zhao, and there is no possibility of changing.

So even if he saw that King Qin had a huge advantage, he could no longer be attached, and the Great Song Dynasty was an era of watching the Chinese popularity festival, and if he was two-faced and three-sworded, even he himself would despise himself.

Wang Gui could only stubbornly stand up, thinking that he had laid out Luoyang City as solid. If Zhao Zhao can't break Luoyang, it's no fun to attack Bianjing.

His son Wang Zhongyu was once proud, saying that the king of Qin was going to defeat Luoyang and returned with a feather.

However, in the evening of the same day, more than sixty percent of the officials and generals at all levels in Luoyang took the initiative to surrender to King Cheng Qin and open the city gate to surrender.

Luoyang went down without a fight, and when Wang Gui's father and son didn't react at all, they had already become prisoners.

It wasn't until Shao Yong stood by Zhao Zhao's side that Wang Gui's father and son also woke up to how deep Master Shao Yong had in Luoyang, and officials large and small in Luoyang had a relationship with them. Now it seems that there has been a collusion between them for a long time, and now they are working together inside and outside.

It's not wrong that I'm staying in Xijing. It also controls the strength and power of the entire Luoyang city defense. But he didn't pay attention to the inner abilities of the soldiers. It turns out. Wang Gui's father and son failed in twelve points, and they didn't even realize that there were many officials and generals under their command who had problems, so that they were not prepared at all.

When the inside and outside have already entered the city, there is news from their side.

Pathetic!

Wang Gui is just a small character, Zhao Zhao doesn't want to pay attention to it, his target is in Bianjing.

The Western Army quickly passed through Luoyang and headed for Bianjing.

……

News of the fall of Luoyang spread. The world is shocked!

Zhao Hao of Bianjing received the news that the five thunders hit the top, and he thought that Luoyang would block the Western Army for a period of time, so as to win them more preparation time and deal with the situation.

But it was only one night, and there was no time to react.

And the situation was very unfavorable to them, the Liao State suddenly marched south, containing the army of Hebei Road, even if Wu Chong had the heart, he could not draw the army south.

Originally, I was expecting the army of the King of Qin from all over the country to come to the rescue. However, the holy decree was issued, but none of the officials and generals of the state capital obeyed the holy decree and sent troops. It's obvious what you're thinking.

Isolated and helpless, at this moment they seem to realize what it means to "have more help for the righteous and little help for the unjust".

Now the distance between them and Zhao Zhao can only go down the last Bianjing city wall, the city wall is there, they are still the emperor, prince and queen mother of the Great Song Dynasty, even if they are still breathing. But if the city wall is broken, there is nothing left for the net worth.

The 300,000-strong army in Bianjing was their last hope, and Guo Kui, who had made meritorious contributions to the southern expedition, had been entrusted with the important task of commanding the defense of the outer city. The inner city is in charge of the palace in front of the palace Marquis Di Yong.

Only in this way can Zhao Ji on the sickbed be a little reassured.

His life had come to an end, and every breath he took was painful, and the frequency of his breathing was getting lower and lower. Maybe it won't be long before he closes his eyes and goes to another world, whether it's heaven or hell, Zhao Ji doesn't know. He didn't want to think about it anymore, and at this point, he didn't care anymore.

What he really cares about now is the safety of his mother, wife and children, they are still alive, they want to live, but how should they live?

Luoyang is broken, which is not a small blow to Zhao Ji.

Overnight, sixty percent of the officials in Luoyang openly surrendered to the King of Qin, and even Shao Yong stood up and said that the King of Qin was the destiny of heaven. The words of the super "god stick" are very contagious and convincing, and some officials and people who were originally wavering are optimistic about King Qin.

It doesn't matter by this time. The important thing is the morale of the army, and the attitude of the soldiers in the army is the most important, which is actually the desire of the 300,000 army in Bianjing.

Sixty percent of the people in Luoyang surrendered, but what about Bianjing? Now this situation is no longer as simple as people's hearts floating and ready to move. I don't know how many generals and officials have already made money with King Qin, and they have colluded with each other in private.

This is also what Zhao Ji is most afraid of, this kind of thing cannot be prevented. At this point, he no longer has any self-confidence to convince and restrain his ministers and generals. High-pressure measures can only be used for a while, not lasting, and the slightest carelessness may be counterproductive.

In fact, no matter what, you can only pay attention to most people, and there will always be fish that slip through the net. For them, as long as there is a loophole in Bianjing's city defense, it will be doomed.

So Zhao Ji is very aware of the fact that they can't hold out for long. He is already a dying man, and he is not afraid of everything, but what should his mother, wife and children do?

They have exhausted all means to stop Zhao Zhao, such as the Khitan invasion, Bianjing and Chang'an first shook hands and made peace, temporarily withheld the army, and unanimously went to the outside world.

But what's the use? Zhao Zhao didn't agree, and the condition given was that he would take the lead in this matter. The army and power of the Great Song Dynasty must be handed over to him, doesn't this mean that if he becomes the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?

Zhao Hao didn't care anymore, but his mother and Zhao Hao were unwilling to live or die, and they didn't give in to this matter.

So, everything fell apart again, and at this point, it was impossible to stop Zhao Zhao!

……

……

Just when Zhao Zhao was dying, Zhao Zhao had already come to the city and sent the so-called ultimatum.

An official sent the news on behalf of the King of Qin.

The content is very simple, that is, to ask Gao Taotao's mother and son to surrender immediately, abdicate in the name of Zhao Ji and make way for Xian, so as to preserve the safety of their family.

After all, the Liao State had already begun its southern expedition. Infighting shouldn't take too long. It is also not advisable to spend too much strength. If the Liao people are cheaper in the end, it will be greatly not cost-effective!

Zhao Zhao didn't want to be a sinner, and he didn't want to be criticized for this matter, in fact, the last thing he wanted was to affect his future plans because of this. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to let go of Zhao Ji's family, at least give them a good death and retain their dignity.

But the premise is that Zhao Ji's family must be interested and willing to give up. It's a pity that the conditions went out. Gao Taotao and Zhao Ji were unmoved.

was let down by hard work, and Zhao Zhao had nothing to say!

So, an ultimatum was given to Zhao Ji and Gao Tao, and the content was very simple. If they are obsessed and still stubbornly resist, then on the day of breaking through Bianjing, none of them will be left behind, and all their honor and dignity will be deprived, and they will be removed from history and left behind for thousands of years.

This is an ultimatum. If there is no result if the reply is made within five days. There will be a big siege of the city.

……

……

Gao Taotao received this so-called ultimatum and was furious, what is Zhao Zhao doing? Is it threatening?

"I want to see what he can do after he breaks through Bianjing. What a shame! Zhao Hao was indignant, and after a long time, he found that his words seemed to have loopholes, and hurriedly changed his words: "With their skills, they want to break through Bianjing?" Dream on!

He didn't know if this was self-confidence, but only by saying it could he be more comfortable on his lips and feel more or less stable in his heart. ”

Han Qi was very helpless, he couldn't say anything more at this time. It doesn't make sense to say anything, it's superfluous to say anything.

The matter has come to this point, everything is listened to Gao talking, what should the queen mother and the official family say? He can only go to the dark in one way, even if there will be stains in his life, but his integrity cannot change. Han Xianggong wants to die with dignity, and he doesn't want to die too humble, too wretched!

Regarding Zhao Hao's attitude, he is also completely blind to it, to be honest, he is a little considerate of Zhao Hao now, and feels that this official family is a little sad and pitiful!

After heavy breathing, Zhao Ji coughed continuously, as if he was suffocated in his heart and couldn't spit it out.

Life is coming to an end, and Zhao Ji knows that his life has really come to an end, and he may not be able to pass tonight.

He endured the pain and left his last words.

"Queen Mother, or abdicate, the matter has come to this, Bianjing will not be able to keep it sooner or later, and when the time comes, ......" Zhao Ji is not cowardly now, nor is he arrogant, he is just simply afraid.

Fear of loss, fear of a tragic fate for his wife and children. Is it still important for people to die, to be rich and glorious, and to build an emperor? In fact, it's a bit illusory like talking about people. It stands to reason that for an emperor, what he should worry about the most should be Jiangshan Sheji. But Zhao Ji knew that he had lost the country, so he had nothing to worry about.

The most important and reassuring thing now is his wife and children, especially his four young sons. Regarding the ultimatum put forward by Zhao Zhao, he was actually willing to accept it in his heart.

Zhao Zhao's words are credible, this is his intuition, and Zhao Zhao has to admire, Zhao Zhao is indeed above board.

What's more, if he abdicates, whether it is this kindness or formally, it will always be good for the Great Song Dynasty. His son should be able to save his life and status because of this, otherwise Zhao Zhao will be blamed and disgusted by the world, this is the power of public opinion.

But this matter is no longer something he can decide alone, and it must be agreed by the queen mother.

Zhao Ji is no longer discussing, to a greater extent, he seems to be begging!

"Can Zhao Zhao really spare them?" Gao Tao smiled coldly and said: "Don't worry, I will send your ninth son Zhao Ji to the private foster care, even if everyone has an accident, he will grow up safe and sound, leaving you a pulse of incense." ”

For Gao Taotao, since decades ago, this matter is destined to be no turning back, and it is impossible to change. A path to the dark is the responsibility and courage that a qualified conspirator should have.

Gao Tao got up and left, leaving only a faint sigh. At the same time, Zhao Ji slowly closed his eyes, and the last trace of brilliance floated through the heavens and the earth, and he didn't know whether he was worried or relieved to leave?

Gradually, it dissipated, and finally it was dim! (To be continued......)
