【184】Capture Yanjing

Zhou Yi followed unhurriedly at the back of the team, and when he passed by Xiao Gan's corpse, Zhou Yi paused for a while, which can be regarded as respect for a strong man. In fact, he thought that the knife in Xiao Gan's hand was very good, but he thought that the knife taken from a corpse's hand would be a nightmare to use, so he forgot it.

On the road he passed, there were people with all kinds of ways to die, including the Liao army and the Song army, and of course the Liao army accounted for the vast majority. At this time, Zhou Yi raised his head and tried not to look at the mess on the ground.

Soon after, he was less than fifty zhang away from the wall of glasses, on which the unique architectural art of northern architecture was vividly embodied, and the towering wall seemed to block the sky, no one could pass through here, this was the end of the world.

But Zhou Yi knew that this was not the end of him, but the beginning, Yanjing had been the territory of China since ancient times, but these nomadic barbarians foolishly took it for themselves. Now he is finally able to represent the Han people, represent China, and take back this great city.

"Yanjing, I'm here!" Zhou Yi shouted excitedly.

Fortunately, no one heard him, and everyone was hurrying to move forward. At this moment, the attack on the top of Yanjing City Tower had finally begun, and those stones and feather arrows began to shoot down. Song Jun consciously took off the shield that had hung on his horse and held it high above his head, these were all cast from the materials used to build the Shengli No. 1 cannon, and the degree of hardness was naturally undoubted, although it could not resist the stones falling from the city wall, but it was more than enough to resist those feather arrows.

The casualties of the Song army are increasing, but how can they fight without death. Zhou Yi can still afford this loss. He just wanted to be able to get into the city as fast as he could. Just go into the city. None of those Liao troops can escape.

Because the city gate has been beaten once by Guo Yaoshi before, the damaged and fallen city gate has not been installed yet, so there is no city gate to block it, and the soldiers inside are not the opponents of the Song army.

The Song army marched forward with an invincible attitude, and all the Liao troops encountered were not their enemies, and now the momentum of the Liao army is gone. Their high-spirited posture when they faced the Song army for a long time was gone, and now it was their turn to fight back.

Zhou Yi likes this way of fighting very much, of course, if Tong Guan knows about it, he will definitely like it, but Zhou Yi doesn't plan to let him know.

It only took two hours for the Song army to enter Yanjing City, and such a speed was definitely able to surprise people. The Liao army had no power to resist, of course, they could only choose to flee, and Zhou Yi ordered, all soldiers. No surrender will be accepted!

For this kind of person, Zhou Yi felt that there was no need to keep them in this world. In fact, everyone says that everything is the fault of the generals and those in power, which is true, but it is also wrong, sometimes there is one thing, that is, the whole nation and the race have it. For example, there is a Yamato clan far away, and the debauchery and cruelty there are rooted in the culture and character of the entire nation, and they will not change and will not accept change. Zhou Yi regarded Liao as such a place, although he had not heard of debauchery or anything, but the belligerence was the same.

So Zhou Yi's compassion didn't attack here, he looked at these people running around, and wondered in his heart, was that Liu Yanqing and them like these people not long ago, running in a panic?

He had no way to verify this, but what he saw was that under the attack of the Song army, the Liao army panicked, one person met with another, fell to the ground, and then before he could get up, he was shot by a sudden steel nail.

At this time, all of a sudden, a neat team came out from the direction of the palace, and it was obvious that this was the most elite Praetorian Guard in Liao, but I don't know what they appeared for at this time. This team was easily visible from the phalanx, with only 10,000 men.

Zhou Yi asked people to pass the order, and all the soldiers of the Song Army gathered under the Minzhong Temple, raised their heads, and looked at this special building, Zhou Yi had a lot of thoughts. The temple built for the soul of the martyr does not exude the radiance of Buddha nature like other temples, but has a heavy and sad atmosphere. Zhou Yi was speechless, maybe war has never been a moral thing, but it happens again and again, when will there be no more war?

Just when his mind was open, the Praetorian Guard had already come to them, and the soldiers of the Song Army were waiting for them, as long as these people had any trouble, they would be killed immediately.

But what is very happy is that they did not move, and now the Song army has an absolute advantage, and if they move again, they will find death. There was a palanquin in the middle of their ranks, and it must have been a member of the royal family.

"Is it the legendary general of the Song Kingdom, Zhou Yi, and General Zhou in front?" The people stood silently, and suddenly, a voice came from the forbidden army. The voice looked a little tired, but it was still majestic.

Zhou Yi was very strange, when did he suddenly have such a title? But it looks pretty good, Legendary General, and it sounds very emotional.

With the sound of speaking, the sedan chair has come to the front of the team, this is a phoenix sedan chair, Zhou Yi can already guess that the woman in it should be the Empress Dowager Xiao.

In fact, there were at least two Empress Dowagers Xiao in the Liao State in history, one was called Xiao Xuan, the small character Yanyan, the original surname was Bali, and the Bali family was given the surname Xiao by Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan family, a famous politician, military strategist and reformer of the Liao Dynasty, during her regency, the Liao Dynasty entered the most prosperous period of 200 years in history ruling the Central Plains. He died in 109 A.D. And the one in front of her is very different from the previous one, and she was attacked by Jin Guo and Song Guo one after another, so it can only be said that she was born at the wrong time.

Today's Empress Dowager Xiao is not very old, maybe she is well maintained, anyway, Zhou Yi can't tell her age, she is wearing a red phoenix robe and a golden phoenix crown, which makes Zhou Yi complain, and she is not married, there is no need to wear so bright, right?

"Yo, it turned out to be the Empress Dowager Xiao, I have heard of the name for a long time, I can see it today, I am really graceful, why don't you wait for me to go to the palace to meet you, and let you deign to come out, I'm really embarrassed." Zhou Yi smiled and bowed his head slightly, looking like a shy big boy.

Empress Dowager Xiao also had a smile on her face, but Zhou Yi assured that she was absolutely not smiling, this expression was definitely an unconscious act caused by facial convulsions, I am afraid that she will not be able to cry if she is asked to cry now.

"This little young man is really good at talking, I'm old, but I still can't wait for you to enter the palace, so won't I be caught alive by you? Hey, I came out to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty sincerely, and I hope that the general can be fulfilled. ”

Zhou Yi had already noticed that what she was holding in her hand was a delicate brocade box, and now it seemed that it should contain something that was presented when she surrendered.

Looking at the imperial palace not far away, the Yanjing Palace at this time was far inferior to the one built by Zhu Di here, but it was at least a symbol of imperial power. If Zhou Yi accepted the surrender, the Liao State would officially be attached to the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhou Yi's eyes swept over these people in front of him, the Praetorian Guards were expressionless, and around them stood the people with timid expressions on their faces, and there were countless corpses lying on the ground, still bleeding. Such a scene may have been described by the ancients with the word "miserable".

"Okay, of course I accept your surrender, and I can still be the master to let you live, you can go wherever you like, but don't try to restore the country from me, this is impossible, since I can defeat you the first time, I can defeat you a second time. Next time, I won't be so soft-hearted. Zhou Yi forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a very calm tone.

Empress Dowager Xiao was silent, not knowing what she was thinking, and Zhou Yi was not interested in knowing, for him, now that the Liao State no longer exists, the rest will be the confrontation between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State, in history, the Song State lost, and it lost very badly, but Zhou Yi knew that this time he would definitely not lose, as if now, it was his legendary general Zhou Yi who stood here to accept the surrender of the Empress Dowager Xiao, not the general of the Jin State.

Now that the world has gone off track, it is better to let it go further.

Zhou Yi took the brocade box handed over by the Empress Dowager Xiao, and inside the brocade box was a jade seal symbolizing imperial power, as well as a surrender document. Since Zhou Yi took over these things, it also marked that this place has nominally become the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the sovereignty of the Liao State no longer exists!

Empress Dowager Xiao seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and her voice was already very low and hoarse. In fact, it is not difficult to imagine how good a person can be from the pinnacle of power to an ordinary person in an instant.

Then she turned and got into the sedan chair, then turned around and walked out of the city under the escort of the Praetorian Guards.

Zhou Yi took the jade seal in his hand and played with it, his hand was warm and moist, delicate as grease, it was really a good thing, whoever held this thing had the supreme right. But now Zhou Yi had to put it in the box and put it away with the surrender letter.

"Okay, there's nothing to do, the ten of you go back and let Guogong bring people to Yanjing, this is already the territory of the Great Song Dynasty." Zhou Yi said to a team of scouts.

Afterwards, he led the people into the palace. Naturally, this palace is extremely luxurious, and where it enters the eye, it is like a fairyland, Zhou Yi stroked those exquisite things, and sighed: "This fucking will really enjoy it." ”

Soon after, an Anmin notice was posted, and the content was identical to the previous Anmin notice posted in Ulju and other places. (To be continued......)
