At the same time, they heard the shouting and the sound of battle from the Chongqing Mansion. It is clear that the Mongol soldiers have already entered the interior of Chongqing Prefecture.

"I'll go, it's only been about a month and a half, why was it attacked by Mongolian soldiers so quickly?" Yan Hanshui was very strange, and looked at the more than 1,000 people under his command, and he had to fight.

It's not just that Yan Hanshui can't figure it out, but it's also a figure that Tu Yu can't understand. To be honest, the Mongol soldiers were no more than 50,000, and Chongqing still had 15,000 soldiers. The walls of Chongqing Mansion are more than 10 meters on average, and even if they are attacked all the time, they will not fall within a month.

It started a month ago, of course.... That is, more than ten days after they left. He also cut off the passage between Chongqing and Shaoqing Mansion, and captured Shaoqing Mansion in more than ten days.

Shaoqing Mansion guarded Xianlong, Hubei sentenced Zhao Li and Zhao Youtai, the official of the department, all committed suicide, and the last adjacent state capital of Chongqing Mansion was lost. After learning that Shaoqing Mansion had fallen, Ye Su'er took the identity seal of Hubei Tixing Zhao Li and asked the spies of Chongqing Mansion to contact a person. This person is one of the three people in Chongqing Mansion who hold heavy troops, Zhao An.

Zhao An used to be a main battle faction, and even took the initiative to ask Zhang Junyu to come to Chongqing Mansion to defend. But as time went by, it became more and more believed that the Chongqing government could not hold on, after all, the facts were too cruel.

Although Zhao An fought with the Mongol soldiers every day, he had already begun to think of a way out. He knew the brutality of the Mongol soldiers, but what could he do.

Especially after Zhang Junyu took in thousands of people, Zhao An estimated that it would not be long before he would be eaten. If the Mongol generals could be persuaded not to massacre civilians, surrender would not be unacceptable.

So Zhao An asked his subordinate Han Zhongxian to secretly contact the Mongol army, and hoped that he could not kill a single person in the city. Lay down your arms and voluntarily end the resistance.

This condition will be in the next year, which is 1279. Wang Li of Diaoyu City surrendered to the Mongol/Yuan army for the same reason, and sometimes it was not that the generals could not fight, but that there was no hope at all.

If you resist, it will only take a year at most, and after eating up all the people in the city, you will basically perish.

After negotiating some conditions, Han Zhongxian brought back the seal letter and saber of Zhao Li, who committed suicide in Shaoqing Mansion.

And Su'er also got the crucial news, that is, the woman left. Yan Hanshui is in Chongqing Mansion, and they really don't dare to attack. Although it can be filled with people, I don't know how many people have to die.

But now that Yan Hanshui has left, if she takes this opportunity to occupy Chongqing Mansion, even if she comes back, she can only accept this result, otherwise? Ye Su'er sneered, and hurriedly promised Zhao An, and promised not to kill people at will.

After Han Zhongxian went back, he truthfully reported to Zhao An, Zhao An looked at his brother's saber, he knew that he would never be able to do this. After thinking about it all night, Zhao An decided to try to convince Zhang Junyu.

On the day when Yan Hanshui killed so many people, Zhang Junyu killed most of the horses, a full 3,000 horses.

But for Chongqing Prefecture, with a population of 50,000 or 60,000, it is only a few days' rations. Chongqing has long started to catch mice and dig up grass roots, and many people just drink grass root soup once a day.

Yan Hanshui had been gone for more than a month, and Zhao An asked Han Zhongxian to tentatively raise the issue of surrender at a meeting, but Zhang Junyu objected.

But when the situation is getting worse and worse, Zhao An gathered a group of people who supported surrender and proposed surrender at another meeting, as long as the civilians can be guaranteed to survive, and they will not be killed, as for whether the world is Song or Yuan, what does it matter.

The Great Song Dynasty has long been finished, and the latest news from the south that the Southern Song Dynasty court has firmly held Yashan, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed.

Even if you stick to Chongqing Mansion for a year and a half, what's the use? It is nothing more than starving tens of thousands of people in the entire Chongqing Prefecture to death, and finally leaving a reputation as a loyal minister.

It's 1278 now, and the cliff mountain that is less than a year old is gone...... In fact, in history, Chongqing Mansion fell almost at this time, and it was greatly delayed by about two months due to the appearance of smoke and cold water.

There are people from the two factions who support Zhang Junyu and those who support Zhao An. But Zhang Junyu sighed: "If any of you want to surrender and lead the troops out by yourself, I, Zhang Junyu, will never stop you." ”

"But I, Zhang Junyu, have received the kindness of the saints, and I will stick to Chongqing Mansion and die." Zhang Junyu arched his hand, and then led his subordinates to leave.

People on both sides have been fighting here for decades, and the final choice really can't be said who is right and who is wrong. In fact, many generals only plan to die to repay the king's kindness, and there is no point in arguing at such a time.

Zhao An and his men also returned to the camp in despair, and he said to Han Zhongxian, "Did we make the wrong choice? I think I have been in Chongqing for more than ten years, but there is a glimmer of hope, I will not surrender to those barbarians. ”

"He Zhang Junyu is willing to die, but all the people and civilians in Chongqing Mansion are my people, can't I let these 50,000 or 60,000 people be buried with him? Zhongxian ...... Go and tell Ye Su'er that we have surrendered, but we must not kill the soldiers and civilians of my Chongqing Mansion at will. ”

Han Zhongxian nodded: "General, this Junyu will achieve a good reputation, and we will definitely be scolded by thousands of people in the future." ”

"At least the people in Chongqing Mansion shouldn't scold too much...... Isn't it? Zhao An said with a wry smile.

On the other side, Zhang Junyu also returned to his mansion. First of all, he found his wife and children: "The Chongqing Mansion can't hold it, and when the city is broken, I will be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty." Help me prepare a poison, and I'll leave with dignity when the city breaks. ”

Zhang Junyu's wife and children also cried together, in fact, they all understand some things, but it is because they all understand that they are cruel.

Ye Su'er was very happy when he saw Han Zhongxian's intention, and promised to add an official to the knighthood, but Han Zhongxian's performance was very flat, after all, some things were just forced to happen, and he planned to live in seclusion after surrendering.

Late at night, Xiahou Lingyun found Shangguan Qing: "Brother Shangguan, looking at this situation, Chongqing can't keep it." Why don't we lead our men to the grass and hunt down the Mongol soldiers? ”

"Brother Xiahou, I have followed General Zhang for decades, if the city of Chongqing is broken, I will rescue General Zhang." Shangguan Qing said.

Xiahou Lingyun nodded: "Okay, what my brother wants to do, I will help." What's more, General Zhang is indeed a hero, and this kind of person should not die here. ”

After the two of them conspired, they led more than 400 people from the headquarters to Zhang Junyu's side. Once Chongqing City is broken, the two of them will definitely leave with Zhang Junyu.

After the wheel of history was ridden by a thousand in the smoke and cold water, it finally returned to the original script.

On the night of the late spring of 1278, Zhao An led his general Han Zhongxian to open the west gate of the town of Chongqing and surrender to the Yuan army.
