Wei Qing was unwilling to be captured, but after all, it was just in vain.

In the next three days, with the open fortress as a breakthrough, the Great Xia army attacked more than once, and soon reached the foot of the imperial city. In the next two days, the Han army was obviously unwilling to resist too much, and often raised their hands to surrender halfway through the battle.

This is something that Wei Qing can't control.

At this stage, no one can save the fate of the Han.

At this time, Han Xin, the rotating minister of the Great Xia Military Aircraft Department and the commander of the Southeast Theater, on behalf of the Great Xia court, issued a final announcement to the Han to surrender: "The Han Dynasty is limited to surrender to Great Xia within two days, and the King of Xia is merciful and promises to protect the survival of the royal family." If not, continue to resist stubbornly, and the Liu family will be completely eliminated. ”

As soon as the announcement of persuasion came out, not only the Han court was shaken, but the crown prince Liu Fuling couldn't sit still.

If you can't keep the Liu family's lineage, Liu Fuling is a sinner of the Han Dynasty, speechless in the face of the ancestors and ancestors, there is almost no hesitation, and there is no choice, the next day, Liu Fuling expressed his willingness to surrender.

Seeing this, Wei Qing was powerless to stop it.

On July 28, following the order of the imperial court, all the Han troops surrendered. Han Xin led the Great Xia army and quickly took over Luoyang City, guarding the important pass and the remaining granary.

The Battle of Luoyang came to an end.

Just when the Great Xia Army was busy taking over Luoyang City, a shocking news suddenly came out.

After the general Wei Qing returned to the mansion, he committed suicide and martyrdom in the secret room. In addition to Wei Qing, Zhang Qian and Sima Qian also committed suicide in their respective mansions one by one, vowing not to surrender.

They were not only martyred for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but also for the Han Dynasty, which is really regrettable.

The best people always wither in the best years.

Hearing the news of Wei Qing's suicide, Ouyang Shuo, who was sitting in Shanhai City, was speechless for a long time, this was his most important general, but he chose to defend the last glory of the Han army in such a way.

After a long time, Ouyang Shuo ordered: "Burial Wei Qing!" ”

Wei Qing's suicide caused an uproar in the Han army, and when he got the news, more than 100 soldiers committed suicide in the barracks on the same day and followed Wei Qing.

The style of the Han family has never withered.

…………

August 1, 6th year of Gaia, Luoyang City.

The square where the Wangcheng teleportation array is located, the Great Xia Army is under martial law here early in the morning, and the entire Wangcheng is blocked, and idle people are not allowed to enter.

On the square, Han Xin led a group of generals to stand on the left side, and Liu Fuling, the prince of the Han Dynasty, led a group of civil and military ministers, standing on the right side, waiting for the arrival of Ouyang Shuo and his party.

In the crowd, there was also the sword qi thunder of the [Listening to the Rain Building] building owner.

9 a.m.

Ouyang Shuo, with Jiang Shang, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Yi, the secretary of Honglu Temple, and other ministers, under the escort of Shenwuwei, drove to Luoyang City to officially accept the surrender of the Han court.

"Greetings to the King!"

As soon as Ouyang Shuo appeared, the people on the left and right sides saluted in unison.

Under the auspices of Zhang Yi, Liu Fuling, the former prince of the Han Dynasty in plain clothes, presented the jade seal of the Han Dynasty and the letter of state. Ouyang Shuo took it and motioned for Jiang Shang to announce his order.

Jiang Shang understood, and took out the edict that had been prepared a long time ago, "Liu Fuling took the order." ”

Seeing this, Liu Fuling bowed down again, "The criminal minister Liu Fuling took the order." When he said this, a trace of humiliation flashed in Liu Fuling's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he went from being the crown prince to becoming a prisoner.

The world is changing, and nothing can happen more than that.

"King Xia's edict enshrined Liu Fuling, the former crown prince of the Han Dynasty, as the king of Han, and the former crown princess Shangguan as the princess of Han. The prince's mansion was changed to the Han Palace, and he was not allowed to leave Luoyang City without an order, he was not allowed to make friends with courtiers, and he was not allowed to raise soldiers. ”

"Thank you, King Shanglongen!"

Respectfully accepting the holy decree, Liu Fuling's eyes could not hide his shock.

Although it is said that the Han king has neither a fief nor real power, he is an idle king, but no matter how you say it, this is also the first king with a different surname in the Great Xia Dynasty, which is already a very great honor.

Liu Fuling just wanted to keep the Liu family's bloodline before, but he didn't expect such an edict.

Not only Liu Fuling, but even the former Han civil and military ministers who followed him also had a commotion, obviously surprised by Daxia's kindness.

Ouyang Shuo did this precisely to appease the old ministers of the Han Dynasty.

The old ministers he was referring to were not only the master father Yan, Sima Xiangru and Dong Zhongshu who stood behind Liu Fuling, but also the former Han ministers such as Xiao He and Huo Quzhi who served in Great Xia.

Treating the descendants of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, will obviously win the hearts of the people, and also show Ouyang Shuo's imperial mind. Moreover, there is an example of the Han royal family in front, and if other dynasties surrender to Great Xia, they will also do the same.

This is very beneficial to Daxia's future strategy.

After a simple ceremony, Ouyang Shuo was welcomed to a mansion in the city, he did not live in the palace of the Han Dynasty, in fact, the palace of the Han Dynasty was about to be demolished, and the governor's yamen was built on the same site.

It is very necessary to erase the traces of the Han in Luoyang.

After settling down, Jiang Shang came forward to represent Ouyang Shuo to appease a group of ministers of civil and military affairs of the Han Dynasty, Ouyang Shuo only saw two people, one was Han Xin, and the other was Sword Qi Lei Yin.

Seeing Han Xin, it is natural to learn more about the front-line battle report.

In addition to taking over Luoyang City, Han Xin also did two things, one was to take more than 100,000 Han prisoners of war into custody and wait for the reorganization of the Privy Council; The second is to send troops to take other cities one after another.

In the next few days, the cabinet will arrange for officials to come to the Central Plains Province to take up their posts.

"How long can the grain and grass in the army last?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

Han Xin understood and knew that this was the focus of the king's inquiry, so he didn't dare to hide it, "Although Luoyang City is taken, more than half of the grain in the burned granary has been rescued, and it can only last for twenty days at most." ”

Ouyang Shuo was silent, thought for a while, and said, "What if you go to the county to forcibly levy grain?" ”

According to the system, the Central Plains Province has been placed under the rule of Great Xia, and the people do not need to pay additional military rations except for paying agricultural taxes. Compulsory grain requisition is only applicable in times of war, and it is easy to lose popular support.

In particular, the forced requisition of grain as soon as the Central Plains Province was taken would make it difficult for the future governor Yamen to do so.

Ouyang Shuo didn't want to do this, but now that the Central Plains was in flames, after winning the Han Dynasty, Great Xia must not stop where it is, and must attack again.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are necessary.

When Han Xin heard this, he did not hesitate and replied: "If you really collect grain at any cost, with the wealth of the Central Plains Province, the potential is still very huge, and it will be no problem to support it for two or three months." ”

"Then let's levy it!" Ouyang Shuo made up his mind.

"No!"

Han Xin's eyes lit up, and he vaguely spied on the intention behind the king.

It stands to reason that after taking the Han Dynasty, according to the established strategy of the imperial court, the Leopard Tao army should turn from offensive to defensive, and defend the Central Plains Province for the imperial court.

At present, the king is in a hurry to collect grain, and obviously has other ideas.

Han Xin didn't want to continue to delve into it, he just cared about receiving orders, what he had to do was to take the entire territory of the Central Plains Province as soon as possible, and then let the Leopard Tao Army restore its peak combat strength.

He had a hunch that this great battle in the Central Plains seemed to have just begun.
