Chapter 1248: Lively Lantern Festival Night
"What about the armies inside and outside Tokyo? That's 200,000 people! ”
Yang Keshi hurriedly asked.
"Your Majesty and the Emperor Taishang are all in the hands of Sun Lei, what other army is there?"
Wang Yu shook his head and said.
Han Shizhong and Yang Keshi didn't know how to answer, they already knew what the situation was at that time, and they were afraid that they would have no other choice.
"The army stops!"
Han Shizhong ordered to the soldiers.
"What now?"
Yang Keshi looked at Han Shizhong, he was now the master of the six gods.
"General Wang, since Sun Lei has taken Tokyo, how did you get out?"
Han Shizhong looked at Wang Yu and asked.
Yang Keshi also reacted at this time, with a look of vigilance.
"I was released by Sun Lei, and he asked me to persuade the army outside the city to surrender, but I think it's more important to remind you.
"The army outside the city can reach the city gate before dark, and they will not act rashly when they see the situation in the city."
"And you can't get to the outside of Tokyo until midnight, the black light is blind, if you attack the city directly, it will kill Your Majesty!"
Wang Yu opened his mouth and said, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others have fallen into the hands of Sun Lei, and their first task now is to save the lives of these royal families.
"So what do we do? Siege is definitely not possible, sneak in? It's a big risk! ”
Yang Keshi let down his guard and became anxious again.
"Sun Lei is trying to force us to surrender!"
Yang Kebi said.
"He has a hostage in hand, if we go back, there is only one way to surrender!"
Han Shizhong's face was a little ugly, Rao is he couldn't think of any good way at this time, Sun Lei directly grabbed their lifeline, they either surrendered, or took the soldiers and horses to divide one side.
"Go fight him!"
Some generals roared angrily, almost all of them here are soldiers of the Western Army, they are used to fighting, they can't stand this dilemma, they would rather go to the battle and die.
"No, Your Majesty's comfort matters!"
Han Shizhong vetoed, they couldn't kill the emperor with a hot head.
"What then? Shall we surrender? The Western Army will never surrender! ”
The generals roared.
"Give me some stopping, I can't think of a way and I can't be impulsive!"
Yang Keshi saw that the soldiers of the Western Army were a little impulsive, and immediately stopped drinking.
Yang Keshi is a fierce general of the Western Army, and he has a high prestige in the army, and he suppressed those generals at once.
"In this way, General Wang and I will enter the city, General Yang, you will lead the troops to wait here, and you must not approach Tokyo City without news!"
Han Shizhong looked at Yang Keshi and said.
"You two into the city? It's too dangerous! ”
Yang Keshi immediately spoke, they had already lost too many people, and they couldn't afford to lose Han Shizhong and Wang Yu anymore.
"This can only be the case, the army can't get close to Tokyo, otherwise will you fight or surrender?"
Han Shizhong looked at Yang Keshi and asked.
"I ......"
Yang Keshi wanted to fight, but if Sun Lei showed the emperor and others, they would have no choice but to surrender.
"Most of the armies outside the city have already surrendered, and our army is the last soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, and we can't venture close to Tokyo anymore."
Han Shizhong looked at Yang Keshi and said.
"What about you?"
Yang Keshi looked at Han Shizhong and asked.
"Since Sun Lei chose to take down Tokyo like this, he doesn't want to go on a killing spree, I will be captured at most when I enter the city, and it will be fine!"
Han Shizhong shook his head and said, as long as you don't anger Sun Lei, everything is easy to say.
"General Wang, let's go!"
Without waiting for Yang Keshi to speak, Han Shizhong took Wang Yu and went to Tokyo.
"How this battle was fought!"
Yang Keshi said hatefully.
Han Shizhong and Wang Yu quickly arrived outside Tokyo, but what they saw in front of them did not know how to describe it.
"That's what you did when you left?"
Han Shizhong looked at the brightly lit Tokyo City, the city gates were wide open, through the city gates, you could see the pedestrians on the streets of the city, the streets were lit up with countless colorful ribbons, and the laughter and laughter were passed along the wind, where it looked like a city that had just been occupied, it was obviously a lively Lantern Festival.
"This ...... When I was in the city, the streets were cleared, and the people had gone back to their homes, and there should be no one on the streets. ”
Wang Yu was also a little incomprehensible, how long had he been away, and why had Tokyo changed? There is no trace of occupation at all.
"Now it's not that there is no one on the street, but that there is no one at the gates, and the gates are wide open, only the defenders are in the city."
Han Shizhong pointed to the city gate, there was not a single defender near the wide open city gate, and he looked like he was coming in and out at will.
"What does that mean?"
Wang Yu was a little confused, and he couldn't understand Sun Lei's behavior at all.
"I don't know, let's go in and find out."
As soon as Han Shizhong pulled the reins of his war horse, he rode his horse to Tokyo City.
"Just go in?"
Wang Yu was a little anxious, if he was misunderstood so close to the city, he would be shot by random arrows, after all, it was night.
Han Shizhong didn't speak, just rode forward, and Wang Yu could only follow.
The defenders on the city wall also noticed that the two were approaching on horseback, but they didn't care, and they didn't even mean to go down to the city for interrogation.
"Just into the city?"
Han Shizhong and Wang Yu were a little surprised, that is, if the defenders in the city didn't stop it, they would have to interrogate and search, but there was nothing, which was even looser than the usual Tokyo garrison.
The two looked at the pedestrian-like streets in a trance, and it was not obvious to look vaguely outside the city, only to find that it was really lively after entering the city, and the people were laughing and laughing at the lantern festival and guessing the lantern riddles.
"Let's go, let's go to the inner city!"
Han Shizhong got off the horse directly, there were too many people visiting the lantern festival on the street, and he couldn't ride a horse to pass at all, so he could only lead the horse away.
The two passed through the crowded crowd and finally arrived at the inner city, which was more lively than the outer city, and the people were looking at the lantern riddles under the lanterns and guessing, and the vendors who set up stalls occupied both sides of the street, and those who were tired of the lantern festival would go to buy something to eat.
After "wandering" along the way, Han Shizhong finally learned about the situation in Tokyo from the conversation of pedestrians, and also knew that Sun Lei was feasting the ministers in the palace.
Han Shizhong and Wang Yu went all the way to the gate of the palace, the palace gate was not closed, and they could see the feast on the square of the Daqing Palace.
"Who are you?"
Han Shizhong and Wang Yucai were stopped by the guards when they approached the palace, and there were guards at the entrance of the palace.
"I'm Song General Han Shizhong, this is Song General Wang Yu, I'm here to see Leader Sun!"
Han Shizhong reported his name.
"It turned out to be General Song, come with me!"
A soldier watched Han Shizhong and Wang Yu say a word and led them into the palace.
Entering the palace, Han Shizhong and Wang Yu knew that what Sun Lei's ministers said at the banquet was true, there were at least more than 1,000 people present, and the entire Daqing Palace Square was full of banquets.
"That's ...... Lee stays behind! Kind of old general! ”
Wang Yu saw the two tables of people sitting quietly at the edge, different from the laughter and laughter of other people, the people at these two tables were quiet, it was Li Gang and Seed Master Dao and others. (End of chapter)
