Elaborating on the critical situation of the Jin army, the emperor was asked to come to Huazhou in person, send Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing to follow, and please send troops to guard Shanzhou and Heyang to prevent the onslaught of the Khitan army. Send the general Guan Xun to send the secret music to the emperor.

On the third day of junior high school, Shi Chonggui learned the news that the army of Lu Dao was stationed at Zhongdu Bridge. In the evening of that day, Guan Xun had rushed to Daliang.

On the fourth day of the first month, Dewey asked for more troops, and Shi Chonggui issued an edict to dispatch hundreds of people who were guarding the palace ban and rushed to Zhongdu Bridge. He also issued an edict to send 500,000 yuan of grain and grass to the military camps in Hebei and Hua, Meng, Ze, and Lu prefectures. Because the time for supervising the transportation is urgent, the urging is urgent, and the disturbance is boiling in various places.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Dewey sent his subordinates Zhang Zuo and others to report the emergency, and Zhang Zuo and others were captured by the Khitan on the way back. From then on, there was no communication between the Jin court and the Jin army.

Kaifeng Yin Sang Weihan believed that the survival of the country was in danger, and asked to meet the emperor and report the situation. Shi Chonggui is gone. Sang Weihan went to the ministers in power to make a statement, but the ministers did not agree. Sang Weihan retreated and said to those close to him, "The Jin Clan's temple can't be sacrificed!" ”

The situation of the Jin army in front was not good, and Shi Chonggui wanted to personally lead his troops to the north, but was stopped by Li Yan's persuasion. At that time, although Fu Yanqing held the position of the camp, Shi Chonggui left him behind and asked him to guard the Jingzhou Pass.

On the sixth day of the first month, Shi Chonggui issued an edict to return to the Dejie Du to make Gao Xingzhou deploy for the north, and ordered Fu Yanqing to serve as a deputy to guard Lanzhou together; ordered Xijing to stay behind Jing Yanguang to guard Heyang, and opened up the battle posture.

Wang Qing, the commander of Fengguodu, said to Dewey: "Now the army is only five miles away from Hengzhou City, what are you doing here!" The barracks were isolated, and the food was eaten. will surely defeat itself. Ask to lead 2,000 infantry as the vanguard and seize the bridge. Blaze the trail, and you lead the armies to follow closely behind. If you can enter Hengzhou, you will have no worries. ”

Dewey allowed it and sent Wang Qing and Song Yanyun to advance together. Wang Qing's battle was unstoppable, and the Khitan soldiers couldn't resist it and retreated slightly; The generals asked for a large army to be sent at once, but Dewey did not allow it. Song Yanyun was defeated by the Khitan and swam back to the shore by himself, saving himself from death. Wang Qing alone led his soldiers to fight the north bank of the river, and the two armies suffered casualties among each other; Wang Qing repeatedly asked Dewey for help. Dewey didn't even send a horse to help.

Wang Qing said to the soldiers: "The general has a heavy army, but he sits back and watches us and does not come to the rescue in the midst of the difficulty, he must have the intention of rebellion." We should repay the country with death! Everyone was touched by his words, and no one retreated, and at dusk, they still fought. The Khitan sent a new army to attack, and Wang Qing and his soldiers were all killed.

Since then, all the armies under Dewey's command have been filled with resentment and have lost their morale.

The eighth day of the first month. Yelu Deguang sent troops to surround the Jin army camp from a distance, and the Jin army was cut off from the outside world, and the army was running out of food.

Dewey, Li Shouzhen, and Song Yanyun began to plot to surrender to the Khitan, and Dewey also secretly sent his henchmen to the Khitan lord's tent. Ask for merit and seek great rewards. The Khitan lord lied to him and said: "Zhao Yanshou's prestige has always been shallow, and I am afraid that he cannot be the emperor of the Central Plains." If you can really surrender, let you be the emperor. ”

Get a reply. Dewey was so pleased with it that he drew up a plan for surrender.

Beginning 10. Heavily armed soldiers were ambushed around the tent and summoned the generals to come. Dewey took out the table and showed them the table and asked them to sign it. The generals were stunned and frightened, and no one dared to speak, only obeyed the order "yes, yes". Dewey sent Gao Xun to the Khitan with a table, and the Khitan lord sent an edict to comfort and accept them.

On this day, Dewey ordered all the soldiers to line up outside the camp, and the sergeants were very enthusiastic, thinking that they were about to fight. Dewey himself told them: "Now that we have run out of food, we should work with you to find a way to survive." So he ordered the whole army to lay down their arms. The sergeants all hugged their heads and wept, and the cries shook the field.

Dewey and Li Shouzhen also preached among the people: "The monarch has no virtue, listens to trust, uses traitorous ministers and villains, and is suspicious of us." "There is no one who listens without gnashing his teeth.

Yelu Deguang sent Zhao Yanshou to the Houjin camp in an ochre robe to comfort the soldiers, pointing to the ochre robe and saying, "This will all be your thing." "Dewey's generals and then all went to the horses to greet them; Zhao Yanshou also put on an ochre robe for Dewey to show the soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty, but in fact, this was just a trick to fool them.

After that, Yelu Deguang appointed Dewey as Taifu and Li Shouzhen as Situ.

On the twelfth, Dewey guided the Khitan lord to the city of Hengzhou and told Shunguo Jiedu that Wang Zhou had surrendered, and Wang Zhou also went out of the city and surrendered. Yerod light entered Hengzhou. He also sent troops to attack Daizhou, and assassinated Wang Hui to open the city and surrender.

Originally, the Khitan army repeatedly attacked Yizhou, and Guo Xing resisted. Every time Yelu Deguang passed by the city, he pointed to Yizhou City and sighed: "I can annex the world, but I am strangled by this person!" Now that Dewey had surrendered, Geng Chongmei, the general of the Yelu Deguang faction, came to Yizhou to persuade Guo Xing's subordinates, but these people surrendered, Guo Xing stopped him, and was killed by Geng Chongmei.

Immediately afterwards, Yiwu Jiedu made Li Yin and An Guo stay in the rear, and they all surrendered to the Khitan. Yelu Deguang appointed Sun Fangjian as the envoy of the Yiwu Festival, Ma as the envoy of the Anguo Festival, and appointed Ma Chongzuo, the deputy envoy of the guest province, to preside over the affairs of Hengzhou.

Khitan Hanlin Chengzhi and Zhang Li, the secretary of the ministry, wrote to Yelu Deguang: "Now that Daliao has won the world, the Central Plains will be served by the Central Plains, and it is not appropriate to use the people of the North." If the decree is wrong, the people will not be convinced, and even if they get the world, they will still lose it. Jerod refused to listen.

Yelu Deguang led his troops south from Xing and Xiangzhou, and Dewey led his troops to follow. Yelu Deguang sent Zhang Yanze to lead 2,000 cavalry to attack Daliang first, and appeased the officials and people there, and sent the general Fu Zhu'er as the capital eunuch.

Huangfu Yu did not participate in the planning of Dewey's surrender, and when Yelu Deguang wanted to send Huangfu Yu to lead his troops into Daliang, he resigned; After retreating, he said to his cronies: "As a general, I can't die after the defeat, how can I bear to seek the monarch again!" When the soldiers reached the level, they said to the followers around them: "I have not eaten for several days, and what face do I have to go further south!" So he choked his throat and died.

Zhang Yanze galloped day and night, and crossed Baimajin at night.

On the 16th, Shi Chonggui learned that Dewey and others had surrendered. In the evening of the same day, he heard that Zhang Yanze had arrived in Huazhou, so he summoned Li Song, Feng Yu, and Li Yantao to the palace to discuss matters, intending to order Liu Zhiyuan to raise troops to rescue the capital.

On the 17th, before dawn, Zhang Yanze had broken through the Fengqiu Gate and rushed into the city, Li Yantao led 500 forbidden troops to meet the enemy, but could not stop it, Zhang Yanze garrisoned troops outside the Mingde Gate, and the city was in chaos.

When Shi Chonggui heard the news, he was desperate, so he came to the main hall, opened the mechanism left by Shi Jingtang from under the dragon chair, and took out the fire rope and lit it. (To be continued......)
