Chapter 12 Entering and Occupying Yanjing

Yanjing City was indeed breached, and Yelu Dashi determined this matter as soon as possible.

When the gunpowder exploded, he commanded the enemy on the eastern wall, and when he heard the deafening explosion of the southern wall, he rushed over as soon as possible, and saw the scene of a mess inside and outside the wall, countless dead and wounded, and the city wall was broken.

He didn't say anything, just greeted the guards, and then rode a war horse and fled from the north city gate, even the Empress Dowager Xiao and the others in the palace didn't care.

The army entered the city, and the remaining Liao army either fled or surrendered, Fan Zhuoyuan ordered to settle the prisoners, comfort the people, and the whole army must not loot, otherwise the military law will be beheaded!

He had previously led the army to counterattack, organized an ambush, and commanded the siege of the city, and these three feats were not only victorious, but even Guo Yaoshi's 5,000 victorious troops were full of respect for him, and no one dared to disobey the general's orders.

Guo Yaoshi's department broke into the city yesterday, but was defeated by the people in the city and Xiao Gan's department, and had an enmity with the people of Yanjing City, so he was strictly forbidden by Fan Zhuoyuan to act at will.

They were originally the army of the Liao State to the Song Dynasty, with a low status, and they were guarded by Wang Yu's department, although they wanted to take revenge on the people in the city, they were helpless at this time.

Fan Zhuoyuan quickly watched the treasury, as well as guarded the palace, government and other key departments.

Ask all the people to go home, and if they are homeless, they will all be taken care of.

Those who participated in the defense of the city, according to the practice of the feudal army, usually slaughtered all of them, but Fan Zhuoyuan only asked that anyone who laid down his arms should be counted as surrendering troops and gathered together alone to take care of them.

After presiding over all kinds of military affairs, he entered the palace with Wang Yu and Guo Yaoshi.

Empress Dowager Xiao and the ministers of the Liao State were nervously waiting for the Song army to come in the main hall at this time.

Empress Dowager Xiao's real name is Xiao Puxiannu, and she is the wife of the Northern Liao Emperor Ye Luchun, in fact, the Northern Liao Emperor himself is not legal.

He was elected by various ministers in Yanjing City because the original Liao Emperor Tianzuo Emperor disappeared after being defeated by the Jin army.

Not long after this emperor became a prince, he encountered Tong Guan's first attack on Yanjing, and was defeated by Yelu Dashi, and then immediately declared himself a vassal to the Jin State, willing to be a vassal.

As a result, before Jin Guo could reply, he fell ill and died in June.

It was precisely because Tong Guan learned that this person was sick and died that he launched the second battle to attack Yanjing.

Xiao Puxian's daughter Yaozun Emperor Tianzuo's son Yelu was designated as the emperor, and at the same time managed the government herself to deal with the offensive.

Previously, after Yang Keshi invaded Yanjing and entered the palace, Xiao Puxiannu, with her intelligence and calmness, first pretended to deceive that she was willing to surrender to the Song State, and at the same time secretly sent an envoy to ask Xiao Gan for help.

In the end, the defeat was reversed, and the 200,000 Song army was defeated.

However, this time she faced Fan Zhuoyuan, and the same strategy was obviously useless.

When she saw Fan Zhuoyuan, Xiao Puxian and the ministers present trembled in their hearts at the same time.

She hurriedly bowed down and said, "We are willing to cling to the Great Song Dynasty, and I hope that the general will be merciful and not tyrannical." ”

Wang Yu turned his head and asked, "Brother Fan, what do you think?" ”

Pharmacist Guo snorted coldly, "This woman seems to be weak, but in fact, she is extremely scheming, it must be a disaster to stay, it is better to kill it with a knife!" ”

Fan Zhuoyuan shook his head and said: "Take care of them all, and wait for the Xuanfu envoy to come and deal with it, this is beyond our authority." ”

With a wave of his hand, a group of soldiers came up and wiped out the superstructure of the Liao State, all of which were guarded in one temple.

At this time, another 10,000-strong cavalry army of the Liao State had chased and killed the other Song troops to the city of Zhuozhou, and after showing off their might, and executing the prisoners in public, they suddenly learned that Xiao Gan, the king of Xi who had returned to help, was killed and almost the whole army was wiped out.

The main general was shocked and immediately decided to return to Yanjing.

But his subordinates ran to dissuade him, saying that King Xiao Gan was sure to be dead at this time, and he didn't know the rest of the situation, whether Yanjing was safe, how many people and horses the enemy army had, whether he would surround the point and send reinforcements, and so on.

For a time, the whole army fell into a panic, and the opinions of all parties could not be unified.

The chief general gathered many officers to discuss for a long time, and after a long delay, he finally decided to look back.

After all, with 10,000 horses in hand, there should be a way to escape even if you are ambushed.

Therefore, the whole army went north, but the marching speed was quite slow, on the one hand, it was to chase and kill the Song army for a long time, wasting a lot of horsepower, and on the other hand, it was also because everyone had no bottom in their hearts, which led to a slow speed.

But in the end, they still came to the Sanggan River, and the scouts sent out reported that Yanjing City had been captured, the city was in order, the Song army had defended the city walls and gates, and there were cavalry patrolling outside.

Although one city wall collapsed, the Song army was ready for battle, and there were no flaws.

When everyone saw this scene, they knew that the general trend had gone, they had no supplies, and it was unrealistic to storm Yanjing City, so they immediately bypassed Yanjing and went north......

Soon after, when he arrived at Juyong Pass, he actually caught up with Yelu Dashi, who was resting, and completed the meeting.

Tong Guan's side, he saw the returning Mu Qingyan the night before the siege, and Mu Qingyan suggested that he go to Yanjing City together, even if he couldn't capture the city, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were in hand, and he was calm in advancing and retreating.

But Tong Guan was already scared by the Liao army, and refused to go to death, Mu Qingyan had no choice but to return to Yanjing City again, seeing that Fan Zhuoyuan blew up the wall of Yanjing City in an incredible way, he already knew that the overall situation had been decided, and returned to Tong Guan again.

Tong Guan repeatedly confirmed the details with Mu Qingyan, even if Mu Qingyan had a very good temper, he couldn't help but want to be angry, so Tong Guan led the rest of his soldiers to the north.

When he saw that the banner of the Song army had been hung on Yanjing City, he immediately burst out laughing.

"Youzhou has recovered! My long-cherished wish since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty has finally been realized in the hands of Tong! This is an immortal achievement! Immediately report such good news to Your Majesty! ”

Mu Qingyan frowned slightly, and she said: "Xuanfu envoy, the greatest credit for this battle should be that Fan Yuhou, you don't have to forget." ”

Tong Guan said with a smile: "Fan Yuhou is promoted by the wisdom of this seat, and he really did not disappoint this seat, and of course he is indispensable for rewarding meritorious deeds!"

Oh, by the way, I don't know how Liu Yanqing and them, hum, 200,000 soldiers and horses against 30,000 Liao troops, they were defeated without a shot! This seat will definitely participate in him and pursue his responsibility! ”

Mu Qingyan shook his head and said: "Xuanfu envoy, the most important thing now should not be to hold accountable, but to arrange defenses, and then continue to recover the sixteen states of Youyun to consolidate the border defense."

The Jin people lead the beasts to eat people, the alliance on the sea may not be reliable, once the Liao State is destroyed, the next one is very likely to meet them with swords, we must prepare as soon as possible. ”

Tong Guan was surprised: "Fairy Mu and that Fan Yuhou have seen the same, are they so distrustful of Jin Ren?" When the alliance was made at sea, I saw them as rough and simple, and they attached great importance to faithfulness. ”

Mu Qingyan said seriously: "Xuanfu envoy, you can't have the heart to harm people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, if you get along with people like this, how can you get along with countries badly?" ”

Tong Guan thought about it and said happily: "In short, since you have recovered Youzhou, it is not difficult to attack the surrounding areas and take the sixteen states of Youyun, haha, then let Liu Yanqing and them come over."

No matter how you say it, Liu Yanqing has also exterminated Fang La and other traitors of the Vegetable Eating Demon Sect with this seat, and he has made quite meritorious contributions, so it would be good to give him another chance to make meritorious contributions. ”

When Mu Qingyan heard that Tong Guan still wanted to reuse mediocre people like Liu Yanqing, his heart sank, and he rode his horse to Yanjing City alone.

Tong Guan was surprised, but he couldn't command the transcendent Cihang Jingzhai, so he asked his cronies to go to Zhuozhou to report the news.
