Even if he is unwilling, Song Wangyan also knows that he can't keep it.

Even if Xiong Wuliang didn't play the 'Heavenly Fire' set, the disheartened Song army would not be able to hold Shangqiu.

King Song looked up to the sky and sighed.

Could it be that the widow really did something wrong?

The king's deeds and ambitions...... The great hegemony of the Great Song Dynasty......

In front of Xiong Wuliang, the ashes disappeared......

Song Wang Yan looked at the soldiers defending the city - they were all in rags, many of them were temporary strong men in the city, it is not difficult to imagine that in front of the fierce Chu army, these 'Song army' defending the city will collapse at the touch of a button.

As far as Song Wangyan looked, the soldiers at the head of the city all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the former.

At this moment, they were all frightened, and they didn't have the courage to fight at all.

To be honest, they were looking forward to Song Wangyan being able to 'open the city and surrender'.

Xiong Wuliang's 'Heavenly Fire' is really terrifying!

It is said that even stones can be burned to ashes - if this fire does burn to Shangqiu, then everyone will be wiped out!

It's all to blame the brutal monarch in front of him who believes in force, and he has to engage in that 'shooting the sky and whipping the earth', which attracts the hatred of the ghosts and gods, and gives Xiong Wuliang the ability to control the 'heavenly fire'!

It is said that although Song Wangyan is brutal and unkind, he is not a bad pen.

He could already see the fear of the soldiers.

He had no doubt that if he forcibly ordered them to fight to the death, it was very likely that this group of soldiers would rush up, tie themselves up and sacrifice them to Xiong Wuliang, and then Kaecheng would surrender.

Desperate!

Song Wangyan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and after a long time, opened them again.

He was noncommittal about the persuasion outside the city, and waved his sleeves, still looking strong: "Go back to the palace!" ”

……

Xiong Wuliang's bronze chariot was located in the middle of the south of the city, guarded by 10,000 Quyang New Army.

Zhong Hua, Zhao Hua and Xiong Wuliang rode in the same car.

Shaohu, the commander of the new army, stood in front of the chariot and stood with his sword. Just wait for Xiong Wuliang to give an order, and he will send troops to capture the city.

Wu Ben stood on the side of the bronze car, looking at Xiong Wuliang sitting on the car from time to time, his eyes were full of reverence.

Immediately behind the car, a huge Hou flag was waving in the wind, and Xiao Hei was holding a sword and shield, standing under the big flag.

At this moment, the morale of the Chu army is high.

Xiong Wuliang's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers gently tapped on the armrest of the bronze chariot - Song Guo will die today.

Song Wangyan, you assassinated Ben Hou, injured my henchmen, and ruined the results of Qi Nan...... Now, it's time for you to pay the price!

Just when Xiong Wuliang was full of murderous intentions, Zhong Hua suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed: "Lord, look!" ”

I saw that in the Shangqiu City in front of me, billowing smoke suddenly rose into the sky.

Well?

What's going on?

At this critical moment, can you also walk the water?

Could it be that the Song people are cheating?

However, the Chu army had already approached the city, surrounding Shangqiu, and its morale and strength also had an absolute advantage...... What else can you deceive at this time? In the face of absolute strength, any intrigues and tricks are useless.

Xiong Wuliang raised his eyebrows slightly, and was about to order the whole army to storm Shangqiu......

Just then, the gates opened......

Columns of Song soldiers raised their hands and streamed out from inside the city gate.

The soldiers playfully dropped their weapons and knelt obediently outside the city gates—for them, the war was over.

It wasn't just the soldiers defending the city who surrendered - many of the Song ministers, who had already been extremely disappointed by Song Wangyan's brutality, even walked in the forefront of these soldiers.

Shaohu was excited: "Lord, look—the Song people have descended!" ”

Xiong Wuliang breathed a sigh of relief: "Where is Song Wangyan?" ”

The ministers of the Song State who surrendered looked at each other and shook their heads one after another—obviously, they did not seek the consent of Song Wangyan, but opened the city gate privately.

Xiong Wuliang pondered for a moment and waved his hand: "Send a team of 1,000 people to enter the city to investigate the situation." ”

"If you dare to deceive, Ben Hou will use the lives of the whole city to accompany the funeral of the thousand people sent out."

The Song ministers didn't dare to say anything, and the Hong Shi thousand-man team once again took the lead and stepped forward into the city......

There is no suspense, and the Song people's fighting spirit has declined.

The people of Shangqiu looked at the Chu army entering the city expressionlessly, without the slightest intention of resisting.

The degree of obedience surprised Hong Shi.

In fact, it is not surprising - Song Wangyan's 'shooting the sky and whipping the earth' to show off his force boosted the morale of the Song army and civilians, but it also had side effects.

That is, after the defeat, all the Song people would think that it was Song Wangyan who 'offended the heavens' and 'offended the ghosts and gods', which led to the collapse of the country.

Of course, these ordinary people did not have to go against heaven - therefore, their obedience to the conquerors was taken for granted.

Hong Shishi took over the defense of the city wall and collected all the weapons of the Song army—and after checking all the risks, Xiong Wuliang personally led the army to settle in Shangqiu.

The only question is where did Song Wangyan go?

"The lord - Ziyan is in the palace......" Hong Shishi came to Xiong Wuliang and hugged his fists and saluted, as if he was touched, and his voice was much lower.

Xiong Wuliang looked in the direction of the palace - thick smoke billowed and the flames were raging.

It is not difficult to understand - this is the Song Wangyan who knew that the general trend had gone, so he set himself on fire in the palace and died in Sheji.

The excitement on the faces of all the Chu generals disappeared, and they looked in the direction of the palace, all of them with relatives.

The Song State is a descendant of the Yin Shang royal family of the first dynasty. At the beginning, King Wu of Zhou broke through the court song, and the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin, burned the court song and set himself on fire in the palace...... Now, after 800 years, the descendants of Di Xin's Sheji have also followed the example of their ancestors and concocted the same method......

It's really embarrassing.

Xiong Wuliang also smacked his tongue - this Song Wangyan, although he was arrogant and arrogant, he also had a bit of a bandit temperament.

At least this courage to know himself with his own hands, Xiong Wuliang asked himself if he could do it.

"From today on, the territory of the Song Kingdom is the territory of my Great Chu." Xiong Wuliang announced in a deep voice——

"Therefore, the people of the Song Kingdom are the people of my Great Chu!"

"General Wu Ben, please pass on the words of the Marquis of Ben to the three armies - since Shangqiu is full of my Great Chu people, naturally we must treat them kindly, and do not slaughter innocents. Anyone who violates the order shall be subject to military law. ”

Wu Ben: "Obey the orders of the prince." ”

"Zhong Hua - send a pro-military camp to block the treasury of the Song State and count the books of the officials, there must be no mistakes."

Zhong Hua gave up his hand.

"Shaohu obeyed the order - from now on, the entire city of Shangqiu will be blocked, and no entry or exit will be allowed. Immediately escort the former courtiers of the Song State and the old generals of the Song State captured by our army to Yingdu and hand them over to our king for decision. ”

Shaohu scratched his chest hair and said in an urn voice: "The last general understands!" ”

Historical records - in July of the twenty-third year of Chu Wanghuai (306 BC), Houke Shangqiu, Quyang, Song Yan burned the palace and died, and Song Nai died.

In the 800-year-old Song State, the Sheji collapsed, and the strength of the rich Song State was short-lived, and then it was declared extinct - the Chu State naturally annexed the 800 miles of fertile land of the Song State, and the border expanded northward to the line from [Shanyang] to [Yinping].

Although the territory of the Song Kingdom is not large, only 800 li, it is a land of rich fish and rice, and the value of the more than 1,000 li barren mountain and forest land that annexed the Yue State is not the same.

This is the first vassal state to be conquered under Xiong Wuliang's personal command.

The news of the fall of the Song Kingdom spread all over the country, and the whole world watched it......
