Completely contrary to the panic in the palace of the Northern Han Dynasty, outside the palace city, the mixed queue of 5,000 pace, cavalry, and artillery of the Beiping army lined up in a neat phalanx, and the generals were full of energy and high morale, just waiting for a few commanders to rush in at the sound of an order, capture Liu Junsheng alive, and completely destroy this remote corner of the Northern Han Kingdom. In front of these phalanxes, eighteen 130mm siege guns lined up, and their dark muzzles pointed directly at the walls of Miyagi, two hundred paces away, ready to blow them to smithereens.

In fact, with the firing range of the 130mm siege gun, it was not necessary to erect it so close to Miyagi -- this distance was actually less than the minimum safe firing distance stipulated in the "Artillery Drill Code" of the "Flying Dragon Army". The main purpose of Zeng Zhilin, Wang Feng, Mutel and others to make such an arrangement was to let the people in the palace see the situation in front of them clearly and break the fighting spirit of the defenders in the palace and the emperor Liu Jun. If things don't go well, and if the siege guns really need to play a combat role, they will still be redeployed at a safe distance before firing.

It's just that Zeng Zhilin, Wang Feng, Muttel and others understand this truth, but the people in Miyagi don't know. The deterrent effect caused by the heavy barrels of the eighteen cannons at such a close distance was very ideal, and the artillery positions were arranged, and the eighteen siege guns were placed in place, and the original crowding on the walls of the palace city immediately changed. Those defenders or eunuchs who poked their heads out of the city wall for different purposes immediately disappeared without a trace, and the inside and outside of the palace city also became silent with the evacuation of the defenders and eunuchs, and all that could be heard was the hunting sound of the military flag being blown by the wind, and the Beiping army's persuasion team shouted to the palace city: "Listen to the people inside, go and report to the puppet emperor Liu Jun to hear the truth." My Great Zhou Beiping Army went south to exterminate the puppet Han court by the order of the official, and now the army has recovered Taiyuan City, and surrounded the puppet palace, limiting him Liu Jun and everyone in the palace to open the city and surrender within an hour. An hour later, our army will bombard the puppet palace, and there will be no chickens and dogs left in the palace. ”

The surrender team here kept shouting towards the palace city, and hundreds of crossbowmen over there shot headless arrows tied to the surrender book into the palace wall. Those who were forced or voluntarily to stay under the palace wall to listen to the movement outside the wall of the garrison or eunuchs heard the shouting and picked up the persuasion letter, and after hearing the persuasion letter, their hearts palpitated, and they did not dare to slack off at all.

Looking at the letter of persuasion in his hand and listening to the eunuch repeating to him the content of the Beiping Army's shouting outside the palace, Liu Jun felt both regret and hatred in his heart.

He regretted that he had messed up when the soldiers of the Later Zhou Army pressed the border, and he actually believed the lie that the Beiping Army wanted to be in the same boat with the Han court, forever ally allied, and resist the Zhou army, not only opened the entire territory of the Han Dynasty to the Beiping Army unconditionally, allowing it to go back and forth, but also wanted to make a relationship with the other party and become a brother. As a result, the tiger of the Zhou army had just been driven away in the front, but the Beiping army, a wolf that was far more powerful, fierce, and cunning than the tiger, was killed later.

He hated, hated the despicable villains of the Beiping Army who were sanctimonious, honey-mouthed, and treacherous, and hated them for not only destroying the foundation of the Han Dynasty, but also causing him Liu Jun to lose face and become the object of ridicule of the world. In Liu Jun's view, although it was the end of the country's ruin and the death of the family, he died in the hands of the Zhou State, which had always been inseparable from the Han Dynasty and had a common enmity, but because his strength was not good, his national strength was limited, and he was unable to compete with the powerful Zhou State. But in the hands of the Beiping Army, who still showed that he was like-minded and intimate with himself a few days ago, and wanted to call himself a brother and sister-in-law, it can only show that he is a faint king and fool who lacks foresight, has no eyes, and is gullible to others. …,

He complained, complained that his adopted son Liu Jiye (Yang Ye) did not know people, and made such a group of scheming, insidious and cunning, and good at intrigue and intrigue friends, and became righteous brothers with one of them; complained that his most trusted courtier Guo Wuwei was mediocre and incompetent, he went to Ulzhou to negotiate with the Beiping Army before the war, and he was always the guest of Yang Xin during the war, and he dealt with Yang Xin and others almost every day, but he never noticed anything abnormal on the other side. This time, the Beiping army went south, but he was in Ulzhou but he didn't notice it, and until now he still hasn't sent back a single word to the imperial court about the southward movement of the Beiping army.

It's just that whether it's regret, hatred, or resentment, it's night to say anything now, because there is no regret medicine to take on this shijie. Now there is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by him, or there is only one decision that needs to be made by him, Liu Jun - surrender or war. In fact, by now, the Beiping Army has been outside the palace, facing the murderous Beiping Army and the black muzzle, Liu Jun has long had no choice. Although there was a palace guard general Mao Sui recommended himself to go out of the palace to negotiate with the Beiping army and persuade the other party to withdraw the army, but knowing that now that the general trend has gone, the Beiping army has already arrived in the city, naturally it has long coveted the territory of Taiyuan City and even the entire Han Dynasty, and it is impossible to persuade the other party to stop the siege war that has an advantage just by a few words here, and Liu Jun, who has returned the states and counties that have been obtained, did not agree to this proposal of his generals. After pondering for a long time, thinking hard and weighing for a long time, Liu Jun finally reluctantly decided to give up all resistance, open the palace gate, and surrender to the Beiping army outside the palace.

At the beginning of the unitary period, the four doors of the Northern Han Dynasty Palace were opened, and the Northern Han Emperor Liu Jun walked out of the palace wearing plain clothes and a rope on his back, and knelt on the ground on the left side of the avenue in front of the main gate. Behind him, there were several generals of the Yulin Forbidden Army in the palace who were also in plain clothes, holding the book and the seal in their hands - the civil and military generals of the Northern Han Dynasty who died when the Beiping Army raided the city gate, were wounded, and surrendered. On the right side of the avenue, more than 2,000 soldiers of the Yulin Forbidden Army in the palace took off their armor, abandoned their swords and threw their guns, and bowed to the ground like their emperors and generals, waiting for the Beiping army as the victor to accept their surrender.

Although he had won many battles before and had accepted the surrender of the enemy, this was the first time he had accepted the surrender of an honest emperor. Although the number of enemies annihilated in this battle - only about 20,000 killed, wounded, and captured - could not be compared with the previous year's Battle of the Clouds; The territory occupied by this battle -- that is, one prefecture and eight states -- was only half of the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the Beiping army after the previous year's Youyun War. But this time it was a war to destroy the country, a country in the true sense of the word, a regime that had been effectively running for several years, with the efforts and cooperation of all brothers and soldiers, it took less than a day to wipe it out, and such merit and glory were by no means comparable to the battle of the clouds in the previous year.

Therefore, looking at the Northern Han monarchs and soldiers kneeling on the ground in front of the palace from afar, it is conceivable how excited Zeng Zhilin, Wang Feng, Mutel and others were. It's just that in front of the soldiers under their command, they can't show their feelings too much, so they can only bury their joy in their hearts, and still strive to maintain the prestige and seriousness of the generals on the surface. It wasn't until they adjusted their emotions to the best state that the three brothers glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and then cooperated with the tacit understanding of shaking the reins, urging them to step off their mounts, and slowly walked towards the Northern Han monarchs and ministers with a steady pace and consistent pace, accepting the surrender of the other party.

In the fourth year of the Tianhui of the Northern Han Dynasty (the seventh year of the Later Zhou Xiande), the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar was the fifteenth hour, and the Northern Han Dynasty died.
