Wu Ting listened to Wan Yan Yunzhong talking to himself, although his brows frowned slightly, but he did not order Wan Yan Yunzhong to be forced.

Because when he took over Ye Yu to lead the Northern Expedition, Ye Yu once issued an order to ensure the safety of Wanyan Yunzhong and escort him back to Bianjing smoothly.

And just as he was waiting for Wan Yan Yunzhong to take the initiative to surrender, Wan Yan Yunzhong suddenly turned his horse's head and fled towards Jinzhou City behind him.

The more than ten horsemen who stayed by Wan Yan Yunzhong's side seemed to understand the master's intentions in an instant, and immediately did not need Wan Yan Yunzhong to give orders, and protected Wan Yan Yunzhong and desperately rushed out of a gap.

Because Wu Ting didn't plan to use force against Wan Yan Yunzhong from the beginning, coupled with Wan Yan Yunzhong's sudden and unknown move, the Song army on the periphery could not react in time for a while, so it was rushed open a gap.

As Wanyan Yunzhong suddenly entered the city, the Song army who reacted immediately chased after him, and then the gate of Jinzhou City was also opened by the Song army.

Wu Ting sent Xin Qiji to lead 50,000 Song troops into the city, and first went to take over the situation in the city, and at this time, all the overall situation was in the control of the Song army.

The remaining 200,000 troops were stationed outside the city, and a Song army was busy cleaning up the battlefield.

No matter how Fang Cai fought and hated each other, at the moment of the end of the war, everything was dust and dust, and there was no grudge against each other.

Each fights for its own survival, and when only the remains are left on the ground, they are just a speck of dust on the wheel of history.

He was an enemy in life, and he should rest in peace when he died!

The aftermath outside the city is being carried out in an orderly manner, and in addition to clearing the rebel army in the city, the most important thing is to search for Yan Yunzhong's whereabouts.

As the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Yunzhong's status and personal influence are immeasurable, if there is any omission and difference, his guilt is not something that everyone can afford.

When Wu Ting was worried about this matter, Wu Xi on the side suddenly raised his hand and said, "Father, look, there is a fire there, it seems that the fire is not small!" ”

With Wu Xi's exclamation, everyone also looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, they saw the thick smoke billowing from the north of the city and rushing straight into the clouds.

Wu Ting was thoughtful when he saw this, and then asked Song Bing beside him, "What is the place on fire?" ”

"Returning to the marshal, the place where the fire is soaring is the Golden Emperor's Palace in Jinzhou City, and the Xin system is already sending people to put out the fire. However, the fire is too big to extinguish for a while......"

Bao Tian sat on horseback, held the double hammer in front of his chest, stared at the fiery place in the distance, and said to himself mockingly: "Isn't this emperor's old boy playing with fire and immolating?" ”

"In my opinion, it's eight or nine ...... ten"

Wu Xi and Bao Tian were chatting, but Wu Ting, who was the commander-in-chief, was in his heart, because if this speculation was confirmed, then he would be guilty of dereliction of duty!

Previously, outside the city, he thought that Wan Yan Yunzhong's escape was because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but now the fire in the palace in front of him made Wu Ting suddenly understand that Wan Yan Yunzhong's move was not to be greedy for life and afraid of death, but to flee back to the palace and set himself on fire and die.

The magnificent palace was full of flames, and the raging fire had burned the entire palace to the point of collapse.

Located on the dragon chair in the center of the palace, Wan Yan Yunzhong calmly threw the torch in his hand to the side, then sat precariously looking south, and said softly to himself: "Son of Heaven, you have the dignity and death of the Son of Heaven, Ye Yu, you won......"

Although his tone is calm, he is still not a king's bearing, but this situation will inevitably increase the sense of desolation and end.

The Son of Heaven has the way to die of the Son of Heaven, and with Yan Yunzhong's proud temperament, how can he surrender to Ye Yu, even if he knows that he has a relationship with his sister, he can get a long life.

But so what, the great rivers and mountains of the entire Jin country are gone, and his life is even more uncomfortable than death!

Self-immolation is the last vestige of the emperor's dignity, and it is also the best way to preserve his body.

After the Song army's hard work, the fire in the palace was finally extinguished.

The scope of this fire was not large, but it was very violent, and it was obvious that a lot of dry firewood, straw, fishing oil and other materials had been prepared in advance, and it was immediately burned at one point, so it was very difficult to extinguish it.

Therefore, it is not so much that the fire was extinguished, but that everything that could be burned was burned out, and all the Song army could do was to prevent the spread of the fire, and as a result, after the fire was extinguished, several palaces on fire had been burned to the ground of rubble.

After the Song army searched the ruins, several corpses were found in the rubble, but all of them had been burned with a pile of dry bones like charcoal, and they could not tell their faces at all.

Wu Ting obviously regretted this uncontrollable result, but since the incident had happened, it was not time to regret the established reality, but to do the follow-up things well.

In order to be 100% sure that it was Wanyan Yunzhong who died next to the dragon chair in the palace, Wu Ting sent people to interrogate several dismissed palace attendants in a row, and the statements obtained were basically the same, so it can be confirmed that the charred corpse inside was the body of Wanyan Changzhi.

This result calmed Wu Ting's hanging heart a little, because whether he could bring Wan Yan Yunzhong back to Bianjing alive was obvious to Wan Yan Yunzhong compared to the mistake that caused Wan Yan Yunzhong to escape.

Not being able to escort Wan Yan Yunzhong alive to return to his life is just a crime of dereliction of duty, and if Wan Yan Yunzhong is allowed to escape cunningly, it will be a great crime!

So Wu Ting ordered someone to bury Wan Yan Yunzhong's charred body into a thick coffin, and at the same time immediately sent the process of seizing Jinzhou and the death of Wan Yan Yunzhong to Bianjing.

Shangjing is the last capital of the Jin Kingdom and the last base of the Jurchen people.

As the last line of defense of the Northern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom, Shangjing's significance to the Great Song Dynasty is conceivable, and for the Western Liao, its importance is even more significant.

Because Shangjing was the imperial capital of the Khitan, and it was the place of origin of the Khitan people. It's just that due to the rise of the Jurchens, the declining Khitan people of the Liao State were driven to the Xinjiang Plateau.

Now that the imperial capital of the past is in front of him, the mood of Xiao Weili, the commander of Western Liao, cannot be calmed for a long time.

Therefore, for the Khitans, they can make concessions on the occupation of the rest of the places, but for the land of Shangjing in Huining Province, they will not compromise under any circumstances.

Even if there are 100,000 Song troops under the city now, they will take the initiative to take the lead in Shangjing.

Therefore, at the same time that Wu Ting's army successfully captured Jinzhou, Xiao Weili had already led the army to attack Shangjing first, striving to enter Shangjing in front of Gu Xifeng.

All of a sudden, the originally tense Shangjing City suddenly entered a state of war full of gunsmoke, and when the soldiers approached the Song army camp at the foot of Shangjing South City, Gu Xifeng and Quan Guangwu sat opposite each other and drank a little wine.
