As he learned more and more about the coup, Xiao Zhonggong became hesitant and did not dare to move forward. The current emperor has gone mad, slaughtering all sides in Beijing, and anyone who has the slightest connection with the coup d'état has been mercilessly executed. Although he has not had a deep relationship with Wan Yan Yong, he has been in Liaoyang City for a long time, and if he claims to know nothing about his 'rebellion', it is difficult to convince that neurotic in any case, plus he once sang praises to Wan Yan Yong in his reply to the imperial court for Wan Yan Yong to retreat from the enemy with water, at least it is true to know that he does not report it, and he must be classified as one of his parties.

As Xiao Zhonggong, who has experienced the political turmoil of the Jin State, he understands the power of rebellion, which is often used by those who seize power as a tool to eliminate dissidents, and often involves a wide range of people, and those who have nothing to do will be put on the hat of the same party and sent to the guillotine, not to mention that this time it is really put into action. Wanyan Yongyin was pushed as his successor by mistake, and he was definitely unable to escape death, and he was innocently involved, and he also became a traitor, and the road back to Beijing is likely to become a point of no return!

When Xiao Zhonggong was fighting, he suddenly heard that someone in the post house broke into and searched it, saying that he wanted to arrest the coup accomplices. Xiao Zhonggong, who already had a ghost in his heart, escaped through the window in shock, grabbed a horse and walked away. When he rushed out of the city but found that he had nowhere to go, he pondered for a long time that only Liaoyang City could temporarily settle down, so he turned his horse's head and returned the same way. In fact, the person who broke into the post house did not arrest him, it was only Xiao Zhonggong's hypocrisy that caused a misunderstanding, but it was an accidental event that changed the trajectory of history......

Along the way, Xiao Zhonggong did not take the small road, hid everywhere, and fled back to Liaoyang City day and night. After entering the city. He immediately asked to see the guard, saying that he had something important to tell him. Wan Yanyong was actually anxious, and was very surprised to hear that Xiao Zhonggong was back. Calculating the itinerary, even if he travels day and night, he has just been able to reach the capital. When he saw Xiao Zhonggong's unbearable appearance, it was even more strange, how could the dignified envoy of the Dajin Kingdom not see him for a few days, as if he had changed people. Ragged, dusty, and exhausted, it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

Wan Yanyong wanted to let Xiao Zhonggong take a bath and change clothes, eat something and drink some water before talking, but he couldn't wait to blast the people in the house out and tell him what he heard on the way. After Yan Yong listened to it, he was like five thunderbolts, and the whole person was stupid, and he saw Xiao Zhonggong's nervous appearance at the beginning. I thought that it might be that the imperial court accepted the conditions of the Southern Dynasty to cede Liaoyang Mansion, or that the imperial court refused to cede and send reinforcements, but I never thought that an unwarranted disaster would come from heaven and involve myself in a coup d'état, and the emperor would not become a rebel, and it would become a rebellion of the Dajin Kingdom.

"Dashuai, I guess that the Qincha sent by the DPRK must be on the way, and it will arrive in a few days, you still need to make a decision early!" Look at Yan Yong's panicked appearance. Xiao Zhonggong tugged at his sleeve and said.

"I ...... I immediately wrote to His Majesty and the Taishi to explain the truth, I have no intention of rebellion, let alone usurpation. I have always served the king loyally, and I also ask Xiao Xiang to testify for me. Wan Yan Yong grabbed Xiao Zhonggong's hand and shook it vigorously, and said with tears in his eyes, suddenly hearing the news, he who had always been calm was also confused.

"Great. In such a situation, I am afraid that His Majesty will not listen to your justification. Instead, it deepened his suspicions. Xiao Zhonggong shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"Why? His Majesty and I are called Junchen, and we are brothers in private. Treat me very kindly, how can you only believe the words of those traitors! Wan Yan asked anxiously.

"Dashuai, His Majesty is no longer the original Majesty, when we were besieged, His Majesty was beheaded only because of a rebel under the banner of the emperor's brother. Then he hacked the queen and the harem concubines below to death, and Zong Xian and others were afraid to plan the rebellion and involve the marshal. How could he listen to the marshal's self-defense when he was so crazy. Xiao Zhonggong said with a wry smile, secretly saying that neurotic even killed his own brother, let alone a brother like you.

"Taishi, Taishi must know my loyalty, otherwise he wouldn't let me guard Tokyo, he will definitely intercede with His Majesty Xià for me." Wan Yan Yong thought of his fourth uncle's vultures again, since his father died in Yanjing, he treated him as his own, and devoted himself to cultivating him to get ahead, how could he stand by and watch if he had something to do now!

"Dashuai, now it is the Taishi who is presiding over the counterinsurgency, but the rebellion has always been that he would rather kill a thousand people in vain than let go of one, even if the Taishi wants to help the Dashuai, he can't completely eliminate His Majesty's worries, even if he is not from death, he has to remove his title, exile him to a remote and bitter cold place, and live a life that is worse than death." Xiao Zhonggong saw that he still had illusions about Taishi, so he could only patiently analyze the shape for him.

"God, this is going to kill me......" The retreat is all blocked, and Wan Yanyong can no longer control his despair, and he can't help but let out a sad voice......

"Now that the Song army is besieging the city outside, and there are traitors framing inside, my Liaoyang Mansion has become a rebel, so let's discuss with everyone how to deal with it!" It took a while for Yan Yong to calm down, but there was no good way for a while, and he wanted to gather everyone to discuss this matter.

"The marshal must not be like this, once they learn that the marshal has become a rebel of the court, there will be a lot of confusion in the hearts of the people, and it is inevitable that some of them will be unfavorable to the marshal!" Xiao Zhonggong hurriedly stopped.

"Hey, Xiao Xiang has a point." Xiao Zhonggong woke up Yan Yong with a word, and he immediately realized the Yan zhòng nature after the news spread. There are many Chinese military generals in the city, but not all of them are their own confidants, and when the Song army is under the city, the imperial court sends troops to conquest, not only can not catch him, but will be destroyed by the Song army. The only way is for the secret Qin to come here to select a person from Liaoyang City to stay behind, first cut his own rights and responsibilities, and then start to capture.

"For the sake of today's plan, the marshal should first send his cronies out of the city to intercept the secret envoy who sent the edict in Beijing, and then secretly summon his henchmen to discuss the matter, and cut the military power of those who have dissenting intentions, or simply get rid of them, so as not to leave future troubles for the use of the imperial court." Xiao Zhonggong took the opportunity to offer advice.

"What Xiao Xiang said is very true, but although he can ensure peace for a while, he will also completely turn his face with the court, what will happen next?" Wan Yanyong nodded and sighed again.

"What does the big marshal think about the current shape?" Xiao Zhonggong pondered for a moment and did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Today's emperor is mediocre and absurd, although the Taishi is strong, but he is terminally ill and will die soon, and most of the ministers of the court and the central government are corpse vegetarians, who just want to sing and sing every night, and satisfy their greed, which makes the people of the Jin country unhappy, complaining, and smoking." Wan Yanyong said with a gloomy face, obviously he was also very disappointed in the imperial court.

"Honestly speaking, this Song Army's Northern Expedition, what do you think the chances of victory are?" Xiao Zhonggong asked again.

"Alas, there is no chance of victory! The left and right marshal's mansions are the most elite divisions of our Dajin Kingdom, and they were all wiped out in more than a month, and now only the pro-army of the Suwei Jing Division has the strength to fight. But in the face of the Song army's sharp firearms, I am afraid that they will not be able to last two rounds, and now that the Song army is attacking in two ways, they are also taking care of one and losing the other, and it is difficult to take care of each other. And now the Khitans in various places have rebelled, attacking the state and plundering the capital, and the five national departments have also invaded the territory in a big way, attacking from all sides, and containing the troops of the state capital in the locality, even if the Beijing division is in trouble, it is difficult to rejuvenate the army of the king. Wan Yanyong sighed again and said, people suddenly looked like they were more than ten years old, obviously many things had made this young man's spirit collapse.

In fact, after the Song army bombarded the city, Wan Yan Yong had already found that the offensive strategy formulated by the Taishi to resist the Song army with a strong city had completely failed. Even if the city is built high, no matter how strong it is, it is difficult to defeat the artillery of the Song army, the artillery fire of that day not only destroyed the resistance of the soldiers and civilians in the city, but also shattered his confidence, it seems that the strong appearance is only for outsiders to see, in fact, his spirit has been on the verge of collapse, and today's 'rebellion' has become the last straw to crush him, and he has been able to confide his heart to outsiders for the first time.

"Well, there are three roads in front of Liaoyang Mansion now!" Xiao Zhonggong saw that the time had come to confide in the truth, stretched out three fingers and said, "First, sit and wait for someone from the imperial court to take over the city, and the handsome and the young family are escorted to the capital to punish the crime, and the handsome should know what the outcome will be; The second and ten-day deadlines came in a blink of an eye, and the Song army attacked the city on a large scale, and the people of Liaoyang City were destroyed, and everything was wiped out; Third, return to the Song ......"

"Surrender the city?! I have a common enmity with that Zhao Er, and I will never be a vassal to him. Wan Yanyong didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and immediately refused angrily.

"Dashuai, how can there be immortals in the war between the two countries, when our Dajin went south twice to the capital of Bianjing, and millions of people died. After entering the city, the royal family of the Southern Dynasty was captured and traveled north, and there were five or six dead along the way, including many of Zhao Er's brothers and sisters, but they captured Wanyan Xiyin, Tuhesu, Wanyan Zongqi and others were not killed, and they were also released back to China later. Even in the Battle of Yanjing, Lord Zongfu died in the city, Zhao Er still ordered someone to collect the body, let people return the Jin Kingdom with gifts, and also built a shrine in the city to pay respects, and there was no humiliation. Xiao Zhonggong said leisurely.

"This ...... There is some truth to this. Wan Yanyong hesitated and said, Song and Jin have been at war for more than 20 years, and his father is not alone in the dead and injured.

"Dashuai, the matter has come to this point, and when you continue to suffer from it, you need to make a decision early, otherwise it will be too late to regret it." Xiao Zhonggong saw that his tone had loosened and then persuaded, and he often traveled back and forth between the Song and Jin countries, and he had long lost hope that the Jin State would turn over.

"Xiao Xiang, I already know the truth and the reason, but this matter is not only related to my net worth and life, but also involves thousands of people and generals in the city, let me think about it carefully, you go down and rest first!" Wan Yan Yong's heart was in turmoil, and he sent Xiao Zhonggong away, he sat alone in the handsome hall without saying a word, thinking about where he would go, whether to break the net, whether to return to Beijing and lead the neck, or to defect to the Southern Dynasty......
