…

In the early morning of this day, the streets of Yanjing City were deserted, no pedestrians were seen, and most of the residents were still immersed in sleep.

Then, at the suggestion of Guo Yaoshi, each army was divided into 1,000 men and horses, and 500 men and horses from each gate quickly went to seize the other seven gates of Yanjing City.

Hua Rong divided the army into two routes, Hua Rong and Xu Ning led the left road, and Yang Zhi and Yu Qi led the right road, and they marched separately to Miyagi, which was located in the southwest of Yanjing City.

- Their plan is to besiege Miyagi and capture the virtuous woman Xiao Pu alive.

Wu Yong asked Ma Ling's apprentice Wu Neng, who came with the army, to immediately use the Divine Movement Technique to inform Jiang Hongfei that they had successfully entered Yanjing City, and that reinforcements should be sent to reinforce immediately.

Li Gang asked Guo Yaoshi to send someone who was familiar with Yanjing City to quickly lead a team of people to meet Li Chuwen.

Chen Yu reminded Hua Rong that they must pay attention to military discipline, all soldiers are not allowed to move privately, not to touch the stitches and threads of the people in the city, and if there is anything, the civilian officials must go to negotiate, and reminded them that there are 300,000 people in Yanjing City, and there are tens of thousands of Khitans alone, which is a very big force, if they anger the Khitans, they join forces with other Liao people, organize and start street battles with our army, and obstruct our army, which may bring very terrible consequences.

Chen Kangbo reminded Hua Rong and other generals that all ministries were not allowed to enter the houses and offices, and if there was no special matter, they were only allowed to be in the middle of the road.

After Wu Yong, Li Gang, Chen Yu, Chen Kangbo and others emphasized the details, Guo Yaoshi said: "Now it seems that the Liao army in the city is likely to be concentrated in the area of the palace, as long as we can break through the palace and capture the Empress Dowager Xiao, everything will be done, it is best to persuade the Empress Dowager Xiao to open the city and surrender, not to fight with the Liao." ”

Before long, Chen Kangbo personally led 500 men and horses, posted notices along the streets and alleys, and shouted to the citizens in Chinese and Khitan: People in the city, regardless of military and civilian, regardless of Han Dynasty, if they surrender immediately, they will not kill a single person, and if they resist, they will be killed.

The people of Yanjing City were awakened by the sound of horses' hooves and shouts, and they soon realized that the Liangshan army had entered the city. They had known that there would be such a day, so they were not surprised.

The news that the Liangshan army had entered Yanjing City soon disappeared and gradually spread.

Some bold residents ran out of their homes and stood on both sides of the street to watch the excitement.

There was also a middle-aged man who walked straight to the middle of the street, stretched out his arms to stop Liang Shanjun, he said excitedly: "Generals, I am a Han people, named Ma Xianliang, when I heard the news that Wang Shi entered the city, we Han people were all overjoyed, and in order to show respect, we specially presented a poem: The general Xiao entered Yan, and the city was full of harmony. The oil ran for 3,000 miles, washing away the bloody flesh for 200 years. ”

The crowd burst into warm applause and lasted for a long time.

A group of soldiers of the Liangshan army listened to this poem that was very suitable for the occasion, and they all smiled politely and waved to the people, and Wu Yong, Li Gang and other literati even took the initiative to talk to Ma Xianliang, and later simply incorporated Ma Xianliang and other people who took the initiative to show goodwill to the Liangshan army, rewarded them with temporary official positions and spirit coins, and let them serve Shuibo Liangshan.

Seeing this, more and more Hermes-Epitek joined the ranks of the Liangshan Army.

Wu Yong discussed with Li Gang and Chen Yu, and then Chen Yu personally took care of these Han people who came to serve Shuibo Liangshan.

There are also some timid residents, who hide at home, close the door and block the window, lie on the crack of the door or window and peep out, not knowing what kind of changes the arrival of the heroes of Liangshan will bring to Yanjing City?

When the residents of the Khitan, Xi, and other ethnic minorities heard the news, they were deeply worried, and they were panicked, and even had a natural fear and hostility towards the Liangshan army.

Hua Rong said to Wu Yong and Li Gang: "The soldiers haven't eaten breakfast yet, let's see if you can let Yan Min make some breakfast for everyone?" ”

——Before coming, Jiang Hongfei explained clearly that the Liangshan army was only responsible for fighting, and after entering the city, how to act was up to the civilian officials.

When Li Gang heard this, he immediately asked Chen Yu to arrange this matter.

Chen Yu methodically arranged for the capable officials of Shuibo Liangshan and the Yanmin who came to serve Shuibo Liangshan to knock on the doors of various restaurants.

After knocking on the door of the restaurant, the capable officials of Shuibo Liangshan immediately took out a handful of spirit stones and handed them to the other party, and then asked Yandi Hanmin to tell the other party that he wanted the other party to cook some food for the soldiers of Liangshan Army, they didn't pick the style, as long as they could make the soldiers full, and they were sent over when they were done, and there was another reward, if the other party did not agree, they would never be reluctant, turn around and leave.

The soldiers of the Liangshan army were all concentrated in the middle of the road, they were dressed in armor, mounted on fierce horses, and were majestic, but they were forbidden to do so, showing both strong combat effectiveness and excellent military discipline.

There are things about the military discipline of the Liangshan army is particularly good, the people of Shuibo Liangshan are very amiable, and as long as they send food to the Liangshan army, they can make a lot of money.

First of all, these traders in Yanjing City who wanted to make money made a lot of money, and they gathered their friends, called friends, and made military rations and sent military rations to the Liangshan army.

And Chen Yu, who brought enough spiritual money, did not refuse to come, and all of them paid more spiritual money.

Seeing that the people of Shuibo Liangshan were really generous, not only the Han people, but also the Khitan, Xi, Zubu, Bohai, Jurchen, Murwei and other tribes later came to send food to the Liangshan army.

Chen Yu: They also treat people from these ethnic minorities equally.

Later, even if all the soldiers of the Liangshan Army were full, Chen Yu and they would accept it, and then told those merchants that they would send all the extra food to the refugees, and the whole scene would be paid by Qi Guogong.

The people in Yanjing City quickly confirmed that the soldiers of the Liangshan Army were very kind, and they did not compete with the people for profit, and they did not accept anything they gave them food for nothing, they had to give money, and the key was not to bully the weak at all.

The most direct impact of this incident is that the people in Yanjing City are not so afraid of the Liangshan army, and they do not block or interfere with the advance of the Liangshan army.

By the time Li Chuwen led many Liao ministers and 7,000 warriors who wanted to take refuge in Shuibo Liangshan to join the Liangshan army, the people of Shuibo Liangshan had basically stabilized the situation.

After the victory of the army, whether it was the people of Shuibo Liangshan, or Li Chuwen and other people who wanted to take refuge in Shuibo Liangshan, they were all greatly relieved.

Wu Yong and Li Gang immediately stepped forward to meet with Li Chuwen, Li Xineng, Han Fang and others.

As soon as Han Fang saw that it was Wu Yong and Li Gang leading the team, he immediately became more relieved, and he hurriedly introduced the two sides to each other.

Because Han Fang was in the center to introduce the needle, the two sides quickly merged into an army, and even the Han people who took the initiative to take refuge together became an army of more than 20,000 people, and continued to advance towards the imperial city.

The imperial city stands in the southwest corner of Yanjing City, and the scale is not large. But its walls are three feet high and one and five feet wide. Miyagi is an independent enclosed area, and in addition to the palace area, there are orchards, yao ponds, and golf courses. The main gate of Miyagi is called Mission Gate, which is connected to Yanjing City. Although the size of Miyagi is not large, the walls are very strong because of the towering and pheasant moats.

At this time, the gate of the imperial city had been sealed by the Liao people inside, and the Liao army was all hiding behind the wall, shooting at the soldiers of the Liangshan army who dared to approach the imperial city, and the arrows were like rain, so that the soldiers of the Liangshan army did not dare to move forward at all.

Seeing this, Wu Yong came out of the ranks, and said loudly with a sound transmission: "Empress Dowager Xiao, you know, I am Wu Yong, a military advisor in Liangshan, my family, the Duke of Qi taught me to bring you a message, now you Khitan, has a corner, I Jiang Yan is willing to sincerely accept the remnants of Liao, I promise you, treat you Liao, whether it is Han, or Khitan, Xi, Divination, Jurchen, Bohai, Muwei, all treat them equally, you don't want to be stubborn and force me to kill......"

At this time, Xiao Puxian, dressed in military uniform, was standing on the tower of Xuanhe Gate City and personally cast arrows to reject the king.

Hearing Wu Yong's words, seeing more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians under the city, and seeing that almost one-third of the Liao ministers such as Li Chuwen had already surrendered to Shuibo Liangshan, Xiao Puxian was very conflicted in her heart: "Do you hold on, or surrender?" Hold on, can you hold on? Surrender, I'm really unwilling! ”

Then, several spies hurriedly ran up to the city tower and reported to Xiao Puxian, the performance of Liang Shanjun after entering Yanjing City, and Yan Min's attitude towards Liang Shanjun, knowing that the general trend had gone.

Zuo Qigong is an old stubborn, so he recognized the investment, so he gave Xiao Puxian a plan to delay the army, that is, to agree to surrender Shuibo Liangshan, but to negotiate with Shuibo Liangshan about the conditions of surrender, delay time, and wait for Xiao Gan, who lived in Yongguan, to lead the army back to help.

Liu Yanzong, the secretary of the Privy Council, said to Xiao Puxian: "Queen Mother, the enemy has more than 20,000 horses, and there are Li Taiwei and others to do internal response, and the palace guards are only afraid that there are people who want to sacrifice the city, not to mention that delay will undoubtedly defeat, and it will also harm the people of this city." ”

Giving Xiao Pu some time to react, Liu Yanzong began to persuade again: "Now our city has been occupied by the Liangshan army, and the imperial city is also surrounded by heavy troops. The only way out is to open the city gate and surrender to the Duke of Qi. The Queen Mother doesn't want to see the Khitans slaughtered by the Duke of Qi? I hope that the Queen Mother will make a wise decision and not miss this last opportunity, so as not to regret it. ”

Xiao Puxian is neither blind nor stupid, how can she not know the current grim situation?

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the hesitation and fear flickering in the eyes of many civil and military ministers and Liao army soldiers, and Xiao Puxian knew that if she behaved too stubbornly again, I was afraid that someone would force her to make a choice for her.

"Alas......" Xiao Puxian sighed, and finally made up her mind, "Open the door." Her voice, though calm, revealed deep helplessness.

After giving the order to open the door and surrender, Xiao Puxian wanted to go back to the palace first, and prepare for the worst - that is, suicide and martyrdom.

However, as soon as Xiao Puxian took a step, Liu Yanzong, Xiao Yixin and other civil and military ministers, as well as many Liao army soldiers stepped forward one after another, blocking her way.

Faced with this situation, Xiao Puxian said coldly: "I just want to go back to the palace to freshen up and dress up, and face the people of Qi Guogong with a better attitude, isn't this okay?" ”

Liu Yanzong bowed his head and bowed: "I beg the Queen Mother not to embarrass us." His words were filled with helplessness and pleading.

Looking at the faces of Liu Yanzong and others at this time, Xiao Puxian regretted in her heart, she regretted that she did not eradicate all these Han officials, especially Liu Yanzong.

Liu Yanzong is a native of Daxing Wanping. His distant ancestor Liu Yi was the envoy of the Tang Dynasty Lu Longjie. Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Youyun to the Liao State, and the Liu family was the official of the Liao State for six generations, and successively served as the prime minister. Liu Yanzong's father, Liu Xiaoguan, stayed in Zhongjing. Liu Yanzong was promoted to the second branch of the Shi Division. When Yeluchun ascended the throne, he promoted Liu Yanzong to be the left-behind judge. When Xiao Puxian took control of the government, she moved to the Privy Council.

It can be said that whether it is the successive emperors of Liao, or Ye Luchun and Xiao Puxiannu, they all value the Liu family and Liu Yanzong.

Who would have thought that the Liao State had just perished, and Liu Yanzong was completely exposed, and he didn't even want to leave a trace of decency to Xiao Puxian.

What's even more disappointing is that Xiao Yixin, an authentic Khitan, as the deputy envoy of the unified army whom Xiao Puxian trusted very much, and the military attache with the highest position and the largest number of troops here, actually betrayed her.

"The general trend has gone, alas, ......" Xiao Puxian's heart was full of helplessness and unwillingness.

However, Xiao Puxian has never admitted defeat, she despised Liu Yanzong, Xiao Yixin and others, and said disdainfully: "You people will never be worthy to dominate the fate of the mourning family!" ”

After that, Xiao Puxian began to tidy up her makeup in public, and at the same time asked inexplicably: "You say, how much beauty is left in the mourning family?" Won't the Qi Guild be fascinated by the mourning family? ”

As soon as Xiao Puxiannu said this, the people who reacted quickly immediately realized that the daughter of the royal family like Xiao Puxian Nu was often one of the best trophies of the King of Destroying the Kingdom, and most of them would be filled into the harem of the King of Destruction and become their collection.

And before Xiao Puxian married Ye Luchun, she did have the title of "the first beauty in Liao".

However, after marrying Ye Luchun, in order to avoid gossip, Xiao Pu Xiannu deliberately wore light makeup, and even deliberately wore old-fashioned clothes in order to be more harmonious with Ye Luchun. In addition, Xiao Puxiannu is stable and powerful on weekdays, which makes people gradually forget that she was the first beauty in Liao.

The point is that Xiao Puxian, who is not yet thirty years old, is actually the most attractive time for women.

The key point is that Jiang Hongfei once made it clear that he wanted to take Xiao Pu as a concubine.

In other words, even if Beiliao dies, Xiao Pu will definitely be fine.

And if Xiao Puxian's daughter is favored by Jiang Hongfei and gains power again, then for Liu Yanzong and those who have fallen into the ground, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Seeing that Liu Yanzong and the others were frightened by themselves, Xiao Puxian smiled disdainfully, and then was the first to walk to the gate of the imperial city and stand in front of the frightened eyes of everyone, ready to welcome the Liang Shanjun into the imperial city.

After reacting, Liu Yanzong lowered his voice and said to the other civil and military ministers of the Liao State: "The Duke of Qi is a first-class hero in the world, how can he kill a minister for the sake of a mere woman?" ”

After Liu Yanzong said this, others also reacted that it was possible for Xiao Puxian to be favored by Jiang Hongfei, but what Jiang Hongfei did to them was not Xiao Puxian's words.

Yu Zhongwen then said: "The Queen Mother is a strong woman, how could she do such a thing as Meixi, Daji, and Bao Xi to bring disaster to the country and the people?" Taking a step back, even if the Queen Mother wants to be the hero of that sister Xi, Daji, and Bao Xi, and the Duke of Qi, she will not be Xia Wei, Shang Xun, and Zhou Youwang. ”

Yu Zhongwen's words were recognized by the civil and military ministers of the former Liao State, and they came back to their senses one after another, and stood behind Xiao Puxian according to their ranks, welcoming the Liangshan army into the imperial city.

Not long after, the soldiers of the Fourth Army of Ma and the Twelfth Army of Ma entered the imperial city.

Then, Hua Rong, Xu Ning, Wu Yong, Li Gang, Li Chuwen, Li Mineng, Han Fang and other people in charge of Shuibo Liangshan and Liao Chen who threw water into Liangshan entered the imperial city together.

Soon, all the Liao soldiers and civil and military officials were armed, Xiao Puxian was put under house arrest, Zuo Qigong and other pro-Jin Liao ministers were arrested and sent to prison......

Yanjing City has changed hands!
