Chapter 499: Choice

When night fell, a group of soldiers galloped out of the north gate of Liaoyang City, and soon melted into the night, and no one knew where they were going, nor what mission they were going to perform. And the palace left behind in the imperial city does not seem to be peaceful, especially in this sultry night, which makes people feel uneasy and anxious. Wanyan had just fallen asleep, and suddenly came to report that he was left behind to summon the adults to come to the house to discuss matters. Now it is an eventful autumn, he didn't think much about it, got up and rushed to the left-behind mansion with his relatives, as soon as he entered the city, he felt a little strange, the city and the city were replaced by the handsome guards on duty, and the house was also three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry were heavily guarded.

"What's going on, don't you know this house?" As soon as he entered the second gate, he was stopped by the soldiers on duty, who asked him to hand over his saber and stop his personal entourage outside the door, which had never happened before, he held the hilt of his sword and asked in a deep voice of dissatisfaction.

"Don't blame me, my lord, the city has not been peaceful recently, and some people want to be unfavorable to the marshal, where the duty of the last general lies, please don't make it difficult for you!" A person flashed out behind the army, it was the commander of the Marshal's Mansion Guards, Wu Shi Taiyuan, who gave a salute and said with a smile.

"Well, you're waiting outside!" Wan Yan suddenly glanced around, and saw that there were archers lurking in the shadows, obviously they would not hesitate to release the arrows if they broke through, he took off his saber and handed it to Wushi Taiyuan, turned his head and said to his relatives.

"Your Excellency, please, the handsome man is waiting in the hall!" Ushi Taiyuan handed the knife to the soldiers behind him, and said out of the way.

Tu Hesu nodded and strode forward, but at this time, the strangeness in his heart had turned into uneasiness, there was a faint bloody smell wafting in the air of the Shuai Mansion, and there were still water stains on the stone paved road, which was obviously just cleaned. The soldiers on duty seemed to have their hands resting on the hilts of their swords at random, but the tensile tendons indicated that they were in a tense state of battle. You can draw a knife and fight at any time.

"Dashuai, what's going on. Summoned late at night? "Could it be that someone really broke into the Shuai's mansion and made the top and bottom so nervous! Seeing such a tense situation, Tuhesu pondered in his heart, although he felt ominous, but he had a good relationship with Wan Yan Yong, and he had been friends for generations and had no holidays, but he thought that there was an accident in the house, and walked into the handsome hall quickly, but there were only Wan Yan Yong and Xiao Zhonggong who should have been in the capital, he frowned and asked.

"Your Excellency. Something big has happened in Beijing, and Dashuai wants to hear your thoughts. Wan Yanyong didn't speak, and Xiao Zhonggong, who was sitting under him, replied.

"Oh, what happened in Jingzhong, did you agree to cede Liaoyang Mansion?" Tu Hesu asked in surprise.

"No, it's a big deal...... Xiao Zhonggong waved his hand and said, and then he told the series of events that had happened in the capital in detail these days, and told Wan Yanyong about his current situation.

"How so?" At this time, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he never expected that such a big change would happen in Beijing. Many clans and ministers were killed, and Wanyan Yong was also implicated, and Liaoyang City not only faced the attack of the Southern Dynasty, but also a massacre provoked by its own people could occur at any time.

"Your Excellency. What do you think should be done with this handsome? Wan Yan Yong, who hadn't spoken for a long time, looked at Wan Yan who was stunned on the spot and asked suddenly, all afternoon he was thinking about the three paths that Xiao Zhonggong pointed out to him, and he also made a decision.

It is too unjust to be tied up in the city, and this death is too unjust. It's too wretched; And sitting in the dangerous city is definitely not the best policy, and the Song army will launch a general attack soon. Either die here, or break out of the city. But now he is a rebel of the Jin Kingdom. The enemies of the Great Song Dynasty have no place for themselves when the world is so big; The only way left is to surrender the city, although it will be charged with treason, but it is not much different from rebellion, and he can be a city full of soldiers and civilians to avoid being buried in the army, which can be regarded as a good thing for the people of Jinguo in the end.

But it was not easy to surrender the city, Wan Yanyong conspired with Xiao Zhonggong again, and first got rid of the eyeliner placed by the imperial court beside him, so as not to leak the news. Then he sent henchmen to intercept and kill the imperial court and sent envoys to deliver the decree to buy time for his actions. The next person to deal with is the number two person in Liaoyang Mansion - Tuhesu, this person is the general of the Jin State, who has a reputation in the army, and is now in charge of Liaoyang government affairs, is the best candidate to replace him, and will also be the person who raises the butcher's knife to himself, so he can only strike first.

"This ......" Wan Yan Tu Hesu really didn't know how to respond at the moment, this is not only related to the survival of Liaoyang, but also related to his own life, especially if he doesn't understand Wan Yan Yong's thoughts.

"Ben Shuai has always served the king loyally and fought on the battlefield for the country, but he didn't expect to end up with a notoriety of rebellion, why is God so unfair!" Staring at the battle between man and god, the sudden convergence speed of his eyes flickering, Wan Yanyong gritted his teeth and said.

"As a descendant of Taizu, Da Shuai is deeply favored by the emperor, although he was involved in the rebellion case of Zong Xian and others, he should also write to His Majesty to make it clear that the lower officials are willing to testify for Da Shuai, and they should not impulsively do anything sorry for their ancestors." Wan Yan suddenly groaned for a moment and said, he also made his own choice. He had already seen the current situation, the two did not want to wait for the crime to return to Beijing to be punished, but wanted to rebel, but he had to take care of his family and clansmen who stayed in Beijing.

"Your Excellency should understand that now the faint monarch has already gone crazy, not only killing courtiers and brothers in vain, but also killing his own queen with his own hands, how can he care about our feelings, I am afraid that the holy decree will make me Liaoyang will be a chicken and a dog, please think twice." Wan Yanyong handed Tuhesu a cup of tea and said.

"Hehe, thank you for your good intentions, the old decay has passed the year of the Mandate of Heaven, the sword mountain is in the sea of fire, and the rain of guns and swords has died a few times, and I don't want to die with a rebellious notoriety." Tu Hesu stood up and smiled.

"In that case, don't blame Ben Shuai for being rude!" Wan Yan Yong took two steps back and waved his hand, and several sergeants poured out from behind the curtains, putting their knives on their necks, "Take Lord Fu Yin to the backyard to settle down, don't embarrass him." Wan Yanyong sighed, dodging the sudden speed of the eyes and waved his hand to order someone to escort him away.

"Dashuai, why don't you kill him on the spot? He has a prestige in the army, and he can gather thousands of troops with a single call, and there will be endless troubles after keeping him! Xiao Zhonggong said suspiciously, slightly dissatisfied with Wan Yanyong's gentleness.

"Tuhesu is a Jurchen hero, I can't bear to kill him, let him go after the thing is done, whether he can escape this catastrophe depends on his creation." Wan Yan Yongyan said.

As soon as the sudden combination was quickly controlled, the soldiers outside the door told Li Qiong and Kong Yanzhou that they had arrived. Of course, he was not as polite as he was to Suhe Su, and told them straight to the point that they were ready to surrender in Kaicheng. Li Qiong and Kong Yanzhou are both rebel generals of the Great Song Dynasty, and they know that they will not end well if they fall into Zhao Second, and of course they don't want to be caught, so they struggled to rush out of the lobby to meet their relatives, but before they could step out of the door, they had already been cut off by the hidden knife and axe hand.

After listening to Yan Yong's plan, those who hesitated a little were immediately beheaded in the hall, and the rest expressed their willingness to follow the commander to surrender the city under the sword and axe. And Wanyan Zhehe and Jiagu Wuli Bu were also suppressed by Wanyan Yong's iron-blooded methods, and they also knew that even if they escaped the artillery fire of the Song army, it was difficult to say whether they could survive the purge of the imperial court, so they also wanted to open, how could it be better to live than to die, and obediently obeyed the orders and waited for the ......

When the sun rose again, the generals of the various armies in the city were replaced by Wan Yan Yong's henchmen. And the team that went out of the city to intercept and kill the envoy also returned to the city, and the two opened the secret decree to see that as they expected, Wushu asked the envoy to convene the civil and military affairs of Liaoyang Mansion in the name of the decree, and then read the holy decree in public, and took down Wanyan Yong in public, and then took over the defense of Liaoyang City with Wanyan Tuhe, and temporarily took over the post of staying behind, so as to ensure that the team of Liaoyang Mansion could transition smoothly, and would not cause a large-scale resistance and give the Song army an opportunity.

But Wushu still opened the net, and did not order Wan Yanyong to be corrected on the spot, but was escorted to the capital to discuss the crime. Seeing that now whether it is Wushu loving him, or in order to stabilize the hearts of the military and people of Liaoyang, now Wanyan Yong has no way back, and can only go on according to the established plan. Things in the city must be done, and after Yan Yong ordered Xiao Zhonggong to go out of the city to negotiate with the Song army camp, but now his identity has changed from an envoy of the imperial court to his personal envoy.

Overnight, great changes have taken place in the city of Liaoyang, but most of the soldiers and civilians do not know the inside story, still counting the days with their hands, anxiously hoping that the Zuo Xiang who has just left the city can bring them back the good news of the strike, as for the Liaoyang Mansion belongs to the Song or Jin is not the most important, I just hope not to experience the tragedy of the past few days, the Song army is overwhelming, and the unavoidable artillery fire makes them no longer willing to resist.

And Wan Yan Yong in the Shuai Mansion is also restless, although he has decided to vote for the Song Dynasty, but the current shape is very different from before, in the past, he was a city guard and could bargain with Zhao Er, but now he has become a traitor to the Jin State, which is not tolerated by the country, and there is no capital to bargain. Zhao Erda can ask for a sky-high price, and he has to accept the conditions even if he is harsh, so his only condition is to ensure the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city, as for himself, he does not have too high requirements, he just wants to ensure the safety of his own children and end up in peace.

From the sunrise to the sunset, Wan Yanyong finally waited for the news of Xiao Zhonggong's return to the city, he hurriedly climbed to the top of the city and looked down the city, only to see Xiao Zhonggong smiling, followed by a long line of Song troops, but not heavily armed soldiers, but a convoy full of baggage. Wanyan Yong breathed a long sigh of relief, it seems that this bet is right, his choice is correct, Zhao Er is a true gentleman, a fake villain, and he is definitely not a man who will be revenged......
