Chapter 493: Sunset
The guards in the Golden Tent dragged the corpse of Huangfu out of the tent, and the corpse was not mentioned on the gate.
Li Shouzhen was uneasy, knelt on the ground, and was about to ask for guilt, Yelu Deguang waved his hand, glanced at Du Chongwei, and said: "He is him, you are you, I am not confused, I don't know right from wrong, you get up." Next, Xuan Zhang Yanze, I want to see how many fierce generals like this in the Jin Kingdom!"
In one sentence, Du Chongwei's face changed suddenly.
Not long after, Zhang Yanze was brought into the tent, Zhang Yanze knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and intervened: "The last general will see Yelu Khan!"
Yelu Deguang frowned, and shouted with a calm face: "Zhang Yanze, raise your head, just now Huangfu met to see me, and instead of kneeling or worshipping, he blamed me, you and Huangfu met are both fierce generals of the Jin Kingdom, and on the battlefield, you killed a lot of good men from my Khitan, why do you want to bow down to me?"
Zhang Yanze raised his head, glanced at Du Chongwei out of the corner of his eye, saw that Du Chongwei's face was dark and very ugly, and he knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly replied: "Huangfu is Huangfu Yu, I am me, why does Your Majesty ask like this?"
Yes, at the beginning on the battlefield, the last general fought to the death, and there were countless Khitan soldiers who died under the sword of the last general, but it was two armies fighting, each for its own master, and the last general acted according to orders, so what's wrong?
I have heard for a long time that Your Majesty is a generation of wise kings, does Your Majesty think that the last general has done something wrong?"
The words were not humble or silent, and Yelude Guang couldn't help but be surprised: "Well said, a good sentence, each for his own master, obey orders! Now that you have surrendered to my Khitan, then I am your master, I will order you now, give you 2,000 fine horsemen, as the vanguard of my army, take Kaifeng, and take down the monarchs and ministers in Kaifeng City, can you agree?"
Zhang Yanze was ruthless, kowtowed to the ground, and replied loudly: "The master has a life, how dare the last general disobey?"
Yelu Deguang was relieved in his heart, and said: "Okay, now that the elite of the Jin Kingdom is wiped out, it is not difficult to take Kaifeng, you must capture that Jing Yanguang alive for me, I want to see who the general who claims to have 100,000 horizontal swords and provokes in vain is who he is!"
"The last general respects the order!" Zhang Yanze got up and took the arrow, and immediately left the camp to prepare.
Yelu Deguang also sent the general Fu Zhu'er as the capital supervisor to assist Zhang Yanze to take Kaifeng first.
Du Chongwei took a long breath, he knew that due to the crisis caused by the emperor's encounter, due to Zhang Yanze's appearance and the combined response, he had been safely passed. Compared with Li Shouzhen, Yelu Deguang probably values him a little more.
Zhang Yanze and Fu Zhu'er led two thousand elite horsemen, day and night, galloping, crossing the Yellow River Baimajin at night, and killing Kaifeng.
On December 16, when the news came, Emperor Shi Chonggui of the Great Jin Dynasty learned that Dewey and others had surrendered, and he was shocked. Li Song, Feng Yu, Li Yantao and other confidants were immediately summoned to the palace for deliberations.
The discussion came and went, and the discussion lasted until dusk, but no result was discussed. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, because she wanted to go north to the Khitan, even the soldiers and horses of Kaifeng City were emptied, there were no soldiers and horses, a huge Kaifeng City, less than 10,000 troops used to defend, evenly distributed to the city wall, one zhang is less than one forbidden army guard, not to mention that there are important places around to guard.
In such a situation, what is the use of even the most ingenious strategy?
At this time, another bad news came, Zhang Yanze had arrived in Huazhou.
Everyone was shocked, and now there are soldiers and horses, only Hedong, Shi Chonggui immediately issued an edict and ordered Liu Zhiyuan to raise troops to rescue the capital Kaifeng. However, Hedong is thousands of miles away from Kaifeng? Even if Liu Zhiyuan is willing to lead his troops to the rescue of King Qin, when he arrives, he is afraid that the daylily will also be cold.
Shi Chonggui has the heart to lead his ministers to go west to hunt Luoyang, but he is afraid that Zhang Yanze is led by cavalry, and it is menacing, rashly out of Beijing, I am afraid that before he has passed Tongguan, he will be caught up by Zhang Yanze, rather than that, it is better to sit in Kaifeng, at least the city wall of Kaifeng is tall, and tens of thousands of people are recruited, maybe they can really guard until Liu Zhiyuan's soldiers and horses come to help.
Who knew that before dawn on the 17th, Zhang Yanze had come to Kaifeng City, broke through the Fengqiu Gate and rushed into the city, and went straight to the palace to kill.
Li Yantao volunteered and hurriedly led 500 forbidden troops to meet the battle, but where could he stop it, he was defeated by Zhang Yanze in one shot, and Li Yantao fled in panic.
Zhang Yanze led the army to the palace, and did not attack the palace, but stationed outside the Mingde Gate.
At this time, the news of Zhang Yanze's entry into Kaifeng City has spread, Kaifeng City is in chaos, people are panicked, the soldiers of the Jin State either hide and escape, or surrender to Zhang Yanze, and the entire Kaifeng Xiongcheng actually fell into the hands of Zhang Yanze in one day.
"Hahahaha!" Shi Chonggui brandished his bloodstained sword and laughed, "It's over, it's all over!" I didn't expect that my Great Jin Dynasty only had ten years of national glory, which was inferior to Houliang and Houtang, let alone Han and Tang. What thousands of years, eternal inheritance, all lies!"
The fire in the Ningqing Hall was blazing, the hall was full of firewood and grass outside the hall, and the screams in the fire were endless, and it was more than ten palace relatives who were pushed into the fire by Shi Chonggui. The palace was even more chaotic, and the palace maids and eunuchs ran around like headless flies, as if in this way, they could escape from the palace that was besieged by Zhang Yanze.
"Your Majesty, no!" Zhang Quanzhong hugged Shi Chonggui's thigh tightly, and persuaded him hard, "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, the emperor is dressed in disguise, ten o'clock at midnight, I will wait to rush out, take advantage of the chaos to protect the emperor to escape from Kaifeng, and go to Hedong, Dajin may not have Zhongxing!"
"Bastard!" Shi Chonggui was furious, "you old dog, how did I treat you? How did you repay me? I allowed you to establish an internal affairs supervisor, and spent countless amounts of silver and food, what did you do?
Suddenly, the figure in front of him flashed, and Xue Chao, the commander of the Great Internal Forbidden Army, dared to come, grabbed Shi Chonggui's wrist, and saved Zhang Qianzhong's life at the last moment. Xue Chao shouted loudly: "The emperor can't do it!"
Shi Chonggui said angrily: "You dog slave dare to stop me? When the first emperor entered Luoyang, Li Congke, the late emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, was still able to self-immolate and martyr himself in the Xuanwu Tower, is it not in your eyes that I can't even compare to Li Congke?"
Xue Chao and Zhang Quanzhong hugged Shi Chonggui desperately, but they didn't let him commit suicide by throwing himself into the fire.
Shi Chonggui is a peaceful son after all, unlike Li Congke who has rushed to kill in the battlefield, setting fire to self-immolation is just a moment of blood, the courage of blood and gas is over, and then seeing the miserable appearance of people being burned to charcoal in the firelight, hearing the scream that is like coming from the eighteenth layer of hell, the heart is cowardly, "bell", the sword fell to the ground, his body was weak, he sat on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: "What should I do?
