Your Majesty, Yan Zhao was released, the truce of the Song army, and even this handwritten letter is Zhao Kuangyin's annihilation plan, in order to separate our monarchs and ministers, Your Majesty is wise, and you must not fall for the enemy's annihilation plan. ”

Yang Ye knelt in front of the hall, kowtowed, and showed his loyalty sadly.

Liu Jiyuan, who was on the throne, looked at Yang Ye at the bottom of the stairs, with a suspicious and solemn expression, and seemed to be a little calm.

However, it was only a fleeting moment.

Liu Jiyuan stared at Yang Ye and said coldly: "You keep saying that this is the Song people's annihilation plan, then I want to ask you, why did you detain the letter of state that Zhao Kuangyin gave me before, and tear it up without looking at me?" ”

Yang Ye remembered that when he was the head of the city, he tore up the national letter of the Song people in front of all the soldiers, and he felt very chic at that time, but he didn't want to be suspicious of the Son of Heaven at this time.

At this time, Yang Ye suddenly felt a little frustrated that he couldn't wash away by jumping into the Yellow River, and Yang Ye had to say helplessly: "The minister thought at the time that the Song people's national letter was nothing more than persuasion. With His Majesty's heroic force, how could he give away the ancestral inheritance, and he would inevitably refuse categorically, so the ministers dared to advocate and tear up the Song people's national book, so as to inspire the soldiers to break the cauldron and swear to fight to the death. ”

Yang Ye's explanation did not extinguish the fire of suspicion in Liu Jiyuan's heart, but made it more and more intense.

The young lord of the Northern Han Dynasty suddenly slapped the case and shouted: "Even if it is to boost morale, it should be done by me, why should you do it for you, Yang Ye, do you still have the emperor in your eyes!" ”

The Son of Heaven was furious, and everyone in the entire hall was shocked.

Even if he was on the battlefield, Yang Ye, who drank blood without blinking, was trembling now.

Yang Ye looked around and saw that the armor soldiers in the hall all had hideous expressions, all holding weapons in their hands, and they looked like they were about to move.

"Could it be that Your Majesty has already given birth to the intention of killing me?" Yang Ye's heart suddenly flashed with such a thought.

Yes, the young emperor on the throne must have already moved to kill.

Otherwise, how could he have placed a heavy army in the temple and summoned himself into the temple alone to question.

Thinking that he had fought for the Northern Han Dynasty for decades, and had never had a trace of betrayal, but now he was now suspicious of the emperor, Yang Ye's heart felt like he was dripping blood.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more chilling he became, and suddenly he stood up with a thud.

Liu Jiyuan, who was on the throne, thought that Yang Ye was going to do something out of the ordinary, and his nerves tensed up, and his body shrank back.

The expressions of the armor soldiers in the hall also changed, and their originally fierce and vicious expressions became timid in a blink of an eye.

Yang Ye's martial arts are superb, all the way to the Yang family's marksmanship makes it superb, although hundreds of elites are difficult to resist, how great his ability is, no one present knows.

If Yang Ye really made a move, these people in the palace might not be able to stop him.

Liu Jiyuan was terrified, and secretly touched the sword hidden under the imperial case, and a drop of cold sweat quietly rolled down his forehead.

At this time, Yang Ye smiled bitterly and sighed: "The minister is loyal to the Liu family, and he wanted to shed the last drop of blood for the Han Society, but unfortunately His Majesty does not believe in the ministers. In this case, the minister will hand over the military power in his hand and ask His Majesty to find another person to guard the capital for His Majesty. ”

After saying that, Yang Ye put the helmet in the hall, and with a resignation, he turned around and walked away.

At this time, Liu Jiyuan, who wanted to ask the teacher for the crime, didn't know what to do, so he only watched Yang Ye leave in a daze.

It wasn't until Yang Ye's majestic figure disappeared outside the hall that Liu Jiyuan came to his senses, and his panicked expression was replaced by anger in a blink of an eye.

"Yang Ye, you-"

Liu Jiyuan wanted to angrily reprimand Yang Ye for not respecting the king, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back alive.

Now that Yang Ye has promised to hand over the military power, there is nothing to worry about.

Liu Jiyuan comforted himself like this, his mood quickly calmed down, and he was afraid that Yang Ye was just deliberately cheating, so he hurriedly went to monitor Yang Ye.

Half an hour later, the henchmen returned, saying that Yang Ye had returned to the mansion, returned all the seals and military talismans to the military department, and recalled all the sons in the army to the mansion.

After hearing the news, Liu Jiyuan's heart was completely settled.

It's just that next, Liu Jiyuan will face a new problem: who will defend the city for him?

Liu Jiyuan pondered and pondered, and among the remaining generals, none of them seemed to have Yang Ye's ability.

Moreover, with the current situation in which the country is in danger, even Yang Ye has a rebellious heart, and if he is replaced by other generals, he is afraid that it will be difficult to ensure their loyalty.

After thinking about it, Liu Jiyuan finally made a decision, he decided to come to the city in person and personally preside over the overall situation of defending the city.

Liu Jiyuan felt that no one could trust the current situation, and only by firmly holding the army in his own hands could he ensure the safety of Taiyuan City.

"Taiyuan City is indestructible, he Yang Ye can hold it, as the king of a country, can't he still hold it?"

Liu Jiyuan made up his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a confident smile.

Outside the city of Taiyuan, the big tent of the Chinese army.

When Liu Jiyuan was smiling confidently, Zhao Kuangyin outside the city was also smiling proudly.

There is indeed no shortage of people in Taiyuan City who want to surrender, but those people do not support Yang Ye, and it is these people who took the initiative to report Yang Ye's reduction of military power to Zhao Kuangyin for the first time.

When Zhao Kuangyin learned the news, he couldn't help but admire Shi Wei's cunning, and he was even more excited and laughed.

Subsequently, Zhao Kuangyin issued an order and immediately launched another rapid attack on Taiyuan City.

At dawn the next day, more than 100,000 soldiers of the Song Army, who had been recuperating for a few days, launched a rapid attack on Taiyuan City again.

The war resumed, and the fierceness of the siege was far greater than before, and every arrow shot into the head of Taiyuan City alone reached a million people.

Under the wild bombardment, looking at Taiyuan City from afar, it is like a giant hedgehog, and the situation is extremely terrifying.

The Northern Han Army, which lost Yang Ye, was greatly demoralized, not to mention that Liu Jiyuan, who personally commanded the battle, was far inferior to Yang Ye in command ability.

The decline in the combat effectiveness of his own army, coupled with the strengthening of the offensive of the Song army, after barely holding out for half a month, Taiyuan City finally showed signs of loosening.

First of all, Liu Jiyuan's cronies, Ma Jun commanded Guo Wanchao to cross the city and surrender, once someone set an example, those who surrendered came one after another.

At this time, Liu Jiyuan was sad.

He forcibly suppressed the fear from the bottom of his heart, and patrolled the city defenses under the escort of his cronies.

The group bypassed the mess everywhere and barely climbed the city, listening to the waves of shouting and killing outside the city, and there were two tremors on the left and right.

Liu Jiyuan leaned out and looked out, only to see the Song army on the cloud ladder outside the city swarming like ants, sacrificing their lives and dying to kill the city.

The Song army that rushed to the front was wounded by Yashi Zhi and fell in a pool of blood, but more people did not have the slightest fear, and they still rushed up to kill with angry eyes waving swords and guns.

Stone cannons roared inside and outside the city, arrows rained down, and the Northern Han soldiers on the city head fell under the battlements one after another.

Seeing this scene, Liu Jiyuan was terrified, and he knew that the fall of Taiyuan City was close at hand.

Just when Liu Jiyuan was frightened, he suddenly heard the sound of Jin Ming, and the Song army besieging the city was like a receding tide, and it was clean in an instant.

Seeing this, Liu Jiyuan suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart, and he even guessed that maybe Zhao Kuangyin suddenly fell ill and died, so the Song army retreated without a fight.

When Fang was secretly happy, a Song court attendant rode a fast horse to gallop to the city gate, fixed the war horse, and shouted to the city: "My great Song Emperor has the virtue of a good life, but when the city is broken, the soldiers will not obey the order, and the jade will be burned in Taiyuan City." Therefore, I will not attack the Son of Heaven, and give you half a day, waiting for your lord to surrender! ”

The chamberlain left the last disc, and immediately turned his horse back.

Immediately afterwards, in the formation of the Song army, they set off like a landslide and a tsunami-like "surrender!" Surrender! ".

Liu Jiyuan only felt that his eardrums were about to be deaf, his heart was like ashes, and his whole body trembled.

I don't know how long it took, the four places returned to tranquility, and the sky gradually darkened, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky.

Liu Jiyuan was stunned for a long time, before he dared to straighten his body, he looked far away, but saw that everywhere he could see, there were all the Song army barracks, how spectacular.

"The general trend has gone, the general trend has gone......"

Looking at the spectacular Song Ying, Liu Jiyuan's expression was gloomy, and he only repeated four words over and over again in his mouth.

……………………………… In September of that year, Liu Jiyuan, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, opened the city and surrendered, and Hedong Xiping.

The Battle of Taiyuan, which lasted for more than two months, finally came to an end, and the result was the same as Shi Wei expected.

Liu Jiyuan led the harem concubines, civil and military officials went out of the city to surrender, Zhao Kuangyin did not embarrass him, and after he was named the prince of Pengcheng County, he sent someone to move the Liu family to Bianliang in the starry night.

Zhao Kuangyin likes to collect kings from all over the world, long before the attack on the Northern Han Dynasty, he had built a house for Liu Jiyuan in Bianliang in advance, which had been vacant for many years, and now it can finally come in handy.

Liu Jiyuan surrendered, and most of the civil and military officials of the Northern Han Dynasty also surrendered, but Yang Ye did not come out of the house and did not come to the court to see his master.

Shi Weiyuan was also worried that Zhao Kuangyin was angry and killed Yang Ye in order to vent his hatred.

However, Zhao Kuangyin was very generous, and wrote off his previous grudge against Yang Ye, and asked Shi Wei to appease Yang Ye and persuade him to serve the new dynasty.

Obviously, Zhao Kuangyin loves and hates this Northern Han general, and now that the Northern Han has been destroyed, of course he can't wait to take Yang Ye for his own use.

Zhao Kuangyin's generosity really relieved Shi Wei, and after making the will, he immediately entered the city and went straight to the Yang family's mansion.

Walking through the depressed streets, Shi Wei came to Yang's Mansion.

His entourage called for a long time, but the big Zhu Gate was closed, and no one seemed to plan to kill him.

has already become a minister of the country, and he dares to be so arrogant, Shi Wei has not yet become popular, and those entourages have already become popular.

These tigers and wolves, even if they plan to call in the soldiers, go directly to the door.

At this time, Shi Wei stopped everyone.

He turned over and dismounted, walked to the door and said in a loud voice: "The medical envoy of Da Song Hanlin has come to visit Miss Yang Yanqi Yang." ”

The people on the left and right were puzzled, thinking that this Lord Shi was not called Yang Ye, but what was Miss Yang.

In a daze, the closed door creaked open.

The familiar figure who walked out of the dim courtyard was Yang Yanqi.
