From the south gate to open the city, to the upper city of the slope to the head of the city, there is an hour between the appearance, and then, is a group of pioneers rushed to the east gate of the city, the soldiers opened the city gate bloodlessly. Immediately after that, the west and north gates were also opened.

By the evening, the Annan Economic Strategy Recruitment Division and the government office of the Annan camp had already settled down on the tower of the east gate. The four city gates of Thang Long Province, plus the two water gates, were all under the control of the official army.

The main forces of the army were also stationed in the city, except for the four city gates, where two commanders were stationed each, that is, the east gate was the main one, and a surrounding house was cleared out so that the officers and troops could be stationed in it. The Xidong barbarians who attacked the city were free to burn and loot, but according to the prior agreement, only the population was distributed to the barbarians, and the property in the city belonged to the officials and soldiers.

"They have enough to grab outside, and they still have to fight with the officials and soldiers at this time?" Some people in the lower part will be red-eyed, if it weren't for Zhang Dan, Han Gang, and Yan Da even issued a ban, some people couldn't help but rush out of the custody together*.

Li Xin had just returned from his inspection of the city: "These barbarians have a good point, and they are honest. No one in the city dared to move the people who hung peach charms and pasted spring stickers! ”

"If the officers and soldiers can't be one hundred, see if they will keep the agreement?" Yan Da shook his head, "The marshal, the deputy marshal, it's not okay for the children in the army to force it." Either neither, or both. Where can the barbarian department, the officials and the army sit and watch?! ”

"Around the imperial city, there are still Jiaozhi soldiers holding on, and the barbarians have not been able to kill them, those are the big ones. How many rich people are there for ordinary Jiaozhi? Zhang Dian completely turned into the tone of the cottage boss, "Not to mention that these barbarians still have to ask the court, where do they dare to swallow it too much?" ”

"Li Changjie has retreated to the imperial city now, this matter must be solved first!"

Due to the barbarian army of Xidong, the Jiaozhi soldiers and civilians in the city did not stop resisting, and from the captured prisoners, it was also learned that Li Changjie and a cadre of generals loyal to Jiaozhi returned to the imperial city in the north center of Thang Long Mansion with more than 2,000 soldiers and horses.

Han Gang felt that there was no need, the more he could be safer at this time, he turned to Zhang Dian and said: "In Han Gang's opinion, it is better not to attack the imperial city for the time being, first take the east gate as the core, clear out a safe area without Jiaozhi people, and repair the camp." Qiande Xiao'er and Li Changjie can't fly to the sky, as long as they guard the city gate and inspect the city wall, they will definitely not be able to escape. ”

"What Vice Marshal Han said is very true, but the inner city can't be ignored." Li Xian used a safe name for the imperial city of Jiaozhi, "As long as the inner city is not broken, the resistance in the city will not stop." And if Li Changjie and the king of Jiaozhi are not caught, this battle can only be said to be unfinished. ”

Zhang Dian groaned, Li Xian was against Han Gang's opinion, but now that he had occupied the Shenglong Mansion, the great merit of destroying the country could be said to be certain, and no one could take it away. Whether it is the queen mother or the king of Jiaozhi, they are just adding heads.

However, for the sake of future troubles - for example, like Di Qing, because he could not determine whether the body that died by self-immolation was Nong Zhigao, so the credit was discounted - Zhang Dan, who was also the commander of the strategic recruitment envoy and the head of the camp and horses, still wanted to send the culprit and the queen mother king to Tokyo City and let the court dispose of it.

"It's getting late today, and it's too late to attack the inner city tomorrow, but we also have to send people to watch the inner city gate to prevent someone from planning to escape through the gap." The overall situation has been decided, and more political matters must be considered. He paused, and then said: "Shoot the imperial court's inscription into it first, so that the people inside can know the tolerance of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court." ”

In the essay written by Wang Anshi himself on the crusade against Jiaozhi, it was clearly stated that Li Qiande, who was less than ten years old, would not be prosecuted for his crimes, and that after he was captured in Tokyo, he would be able to give birth to a good child. At this time, he reminded the people in the imperial city that Zhang Dian was thinking of splitting Li Changjie and Empress Dowager Yilan.

The rain had stopped, and the clouds still covered the entire canopy, but the clouds were much thinner, and even the red light of the setting sun could be seen. The air is still wet and sultry, which makes people very uncomfortable, and this kind of weather lasts for more than half a year, and it will not end until it is almost winter.

Zhang Dian and Han Gang stood on the tower of the east gate, not caring about the sweat on their bodies, just silently looking down at the Jiaozhi royal capital with a circumference of nearly fifteen or sixteen miles.

It is a Chinese-style city, with a cross street that runs from east to west, north and south to divide the city. The north-south and east-west streets and alleys divide the city into smaller parts.

Just as night was approaching, there was a faint mist in the city, and the streets and alleys near and far looked a little blurry. Simple bamboo houses, which are the areas where the poor live, and better like the houses of China, which are the rich in the city. If you go to the city, you can still see a large mansion, which is the residence of the official eunuch.

In addition, you can see high or low stupas everywhere in the city, and the Jiaozhi people who believe in Futu have violated the precepts of the multi-handed Buddhism, and it is not surprising that they have the end now.

The shouts of killing were heard, and it could be found that it was gradually going deeper into the center of Thang Long Mansion City, heading straight for the Imperial City.

No matter how stubbornly the barely strived Jiaozhi people planned to resist after retreating to the imperial city, their fate was already doomed.

……………………

Li Changjie still does not hide the majesty of the general, and his gaffe in the city has now recovered.

He is not the character of the Yellow River, and even when he is at the end of the road, he will struggle unwillingly.

And Li Changjie feels that there is still a chance. The Song army was under-manned and unable to control the entire Thang Long province, and the barbarian army was unusable. As long as the Song guards in the city relaxed, they could try to escape from the city with Qiande. At present, the Song people let the barbarians go perverse in the territory of Dayue, as long as they wait for the opportunity and rely on the current Dayue Tianzi in their hands, a few years or more than ten years later, it is not a dream to restore the country.

He hurried to the Tianning Hall of the Son of Heaven's bedroom, and the Queen Mother Yilan was waiting in the palace with Qiande in her arms.

As soon as he entered the hall, Li Changjie knelt down, "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent and failed to defend the city!" ”

"Don't blame yourself, it's all luck." Yi Lan squeezed out a bleak smile, "The captain has not slept for several days, and the matter has come to this, so let's take a breath first." ”

Someone immediately offered tea, Li Changjie was dry, drank it in one go, put down the teacup, and said anxiously, "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, now that the Song people have not yet attacked the imperial city, they have to change their clothes, and the minister has arranged for loyal generals to stick to the imperial city to buy time for the Queen Mother and His Majesty." ”

Yilan hugged her son and didn't move, her expression was so indifferent that she didn't seem to hear anything.

Li Changjie was anxious: "We can't delay any longer." The minister knows that the Queen Mother and Her Majesty are difficult to part, but they leave now and can come back in the future. If you don't leave at this time, you can only die with the city. ”

Yilan shook her head again, Li Changjie was about to be persuaded again, when he suddenly felt a sharp cramp in his abdomen, staggered two steps, was puzzled, looked up at Yilan's indifferent eyes, and understood everything.

Looking at the woman who was supported by one hand, she suddenly turned against her, Li Changjie pinched the bones of his hands, and the fierce anger of the military general was about to burst out. It's just that the four palace maids with big shoulders and round waists suddenly supported him left and right, and firmly prevented him from moving.

Li Changjie gritted his teeth and struggled to ask, "What are you for!?" ”

"Isn't this Dayue Kingdom destroyed by the Taiwei? Why bother asking? Yi Lan said faintly, "If it weren't for Tai Lieutenant, you would have controlled the affairs of the military state, how would Da Yue have today's results." Disaster to the country and the people, Li Changjie, don't you deserve to die!? ”

Li Changjie's hideous expression calmed down, and his eyes were full of coldness, "Queen Mother, as long as the minister says a word, you can make your mother and son doomed." ”

"Who said that?" With a few screams, Zong Yan slowly walked into the hall with his hands in his hands, first saluted Yilan and Qiande, and turned to look at Li Changjie.

"Zong Kang......" Li Changjie's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of anger at Zong Kang, "The generals who have been to the territory of the Song Kingdom, the Song people will not spare them. Don't you think ...... I thought ......" was halfway through the words, but I didn't have the strength to continue.

"Don't think you'll be spared death if you surrender?" Zong Jian replaced Li Changjie to complete what he couldn't say, and he nodded, "Of course I know about this matter!" ”

A throbbing pain that almost penetrated deep into the bone marrow came from his abdomen again, but Li Changjie still glared at Zong Yan angrily, looking at what he could say!

"I'm also a Nongren, and I have relatives with Qiyuan and Guangyuan, and after surrendering, I'm dead, so I can keep the incense at home." Zong Jian was unusually calm, talking about his life, but as if he usually talked about military affairs, "Dayue is ruined, I have a share, and it doesn't hurt to die with the country, but the heirs of the family are worried!" Captain, this time, please take the first step, and after a while, most of the people in the next will follow. ”

Li Changjie pointed at Zong Yan, and He He made a sound, but he couldn't say a word. The colic in my stomach became worse and worse, and I don't know what kind of medicine I was given, and there were bursts of severe pain all over my body. Beads of sweat the size of beans came out of his forehead, his face was sallow and blue, and his eyes were bulging like fish, covered with bloodshots.

"Captain, you can go in peace!" Zong Jian stood beside Li Changjie, looked down at Li Changjie, who was already out of breath but not in breath, and sent a sentence peacefully. Bidding farewell to Yilan and Qiande, he turned around and walked outside the hall, no longer looking at Li Changjie.

Walking out of the Tianning Palace, Zong Jian came to the Zichen Hall in front of him, and said to Li Changjie and his cronies in the hall, "Taiwei is unwilling to be humiliated by the Song people after the city is broken, and has bid farewell to the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven, and committed suicide and martyrdom. The Queen Mother has a decree to open the city and surrender ......"

Hearing Zong Yan's words in his ears, several people looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know whether to believe or not.

"What? Want to disobey the Queen Mother's decree? Zong Yan's voice sank, and his cold eyes swept away everyone. Li Changjie has already died, at least at this time, he represents the Queen Mother and the Son of Dayue, and he has the heaviest weight to speak.

“…… Can't! "Their Taiwei Li must be dead, no matter how hard he is, he will follow Taiwei Li to Huangquan alone, but he is himself. Originally, they were reluctant to Li Changjie's plan, but they were pressed by his power and did not dare to object, but now it is different. One by one, they all rushed to kneel, lying on the ground and weeping, choking: "The minister's order!" ”
