Chapter 36 Breaking Luoyang
Chapter 36 Breaking Luoyang
In this way, a month passed, Cang Fei's strength improved again, and he felt that the time was ripe, or that his strength was enough.
That night, he gathered his generals and attacked the city directly.
The siege was so sudden that it was safe for more than a month, and the Mongols thought they would survive the night, but they were attacked.
And it was a strong surprise attack, a person flew directly into the city, killed the defenders, opened the drawbridge independently, and put the Tumeng army outside the city into the city.
This person, naturally, is Cang Fei, his strength has approached 10,000 enemies, launched a night attack, and immediately defeated those defenders, no matter how tight the defense is, he can't resist at all in the face of absolute strength, and he was directly crushed.
Luoyang fell, and Yelu Chucai and his family became prisoners.
However, in this battle, Cangfei's Tumeng army was extremely strongly resisted by the Mongol soldiers, and fortunately, Cangfei's personal strength reduced the losses, but the Tumeng army still suffered heavy casualties and needed to rest.
This made Cang Fei sigh lightly, after so many battles, the combat effectiveness of the Tumeng army was still far inferior to that of the Mongolian soldiers, and it was almost all his own strength to turn things around, could it be that the future battles must be like this, then he was really tired.
The prison in Luoyang has been taken over by Tu Meng's army, and Qin Wang Cangfei took Tu Meng's eighteen guards and was introduced into it by the jailers.
It is a number of generals of various ethnic groups who have belonged to the Mongolian Empire, as for the Mongolian generals, all were slaughtered by Cangfei, the Mongolian Empire is not only Mongolian, the territory it dominates is huge, it is rare in history, east to the Sea of Japan, west to the Danube, starting from the Mongolian desert, thinking about the east and west fast horses, it takes a year each, such a vast land was conquered, and the local people naturally became its people, recruited by it to fight.
The people of the Mongol Empire are divided into Mongols from the noble and low, the Semu people composed of various different races, and the lowest Han people, those Mongols are naturally brutal to the Han people, and those Semu people are even more serious to the Han people as dog legs, and most of the crimes are more than the Mongols.
Yelu Chucai's family is actually this kind of people, but they are Khitans, and the Khitans once established the Liao State to dominate the north, and they have been sinicized more, and their attitude towards the Han people is relatively gentle.
Yelu Chucai took the initiative to defect to Mongolia, he was originally a royal family of the Great Liao State that was dominant in the north and opposed to the Northern Song Dynasty, but Wanyan Agu rose in the northeast, led the Jurchens to defeat the Khitans, destroyed the Great Liao State, and established the Dajin State, and Yelu Chucai, a martyred nobleman, defected to Mongolia and chose to rely on Mongolia for revenge.
In the end, he succeeded, with the help of the power of the Mongol Empire, the Dajin State that had dominated northern China was destroyed, so Wan Yanping was not wrong to resent him, although even if there was no Yelu Chucai, the Mongol Empire's destruction of the Dajin State would not change, but Yelu Chucai did contribute greatly to the Mongol destruction of the Jin State.
Cangfei is now going to meet Yelu Chucai for a while, this outstanding talent of the Khitan people, who has read through the Confucian classics since he was a child, pays attention to the application of the world, is the patriarch of the three dynasties of the Mongolian Empire, and has played a lot of roles in the development of the Mongolian Empire.
During this time, Cangfei continued to recruit talents, there are still a lot of reckless men in the military, and he himself is one, but in the governance of the country, Cangfei can't find a suitable candidate, those old masters who defected to him, he is not very satisfied, and now this Yelu Chucai is in front of him, although he is not a Han person, but he can also use it.
"His Royal Highness King Qin has arrived!"
During the singing, the cell was quiet again, but it became noisy in an instant, some people asked Cang Fei to let him out, and some insulted Cang Fei.
Cang Fei frowned and said, "Let them all shut up!"
Suddenly, some sergeants entered various cells and punched and kicked those thugs of various ethnic groups who had wreaked havoc in the Central Plains, making them honest.
Cang Fei didn't care how these wicked people were punished, but entered a cell under the leadership of the jailer.
There are four people being held here, an elderly man, a middle-aged man, and a pair of young men and women.
The old man is Yelu Chucai, the middle-aged man is his eldest son Yelu Jin, and the young man and woman are his second son Yelu Qi and youngest daughter Ye Lu Yan.
Except for the shackles on their hands and feet, these four people were more decent, and their clothes were neat, which was many times better than the prisoners in the other cells.
This is because Cang Fei has long intended to surrender Yelu Chucai and deliberately give them preferential treatment.
"Yelu Chucai, I heard that you refused to surrender to this king, I don't know why?" Cang Fei asked.
After he broke through Luoyang, he sent an order that if Yelu Chucai surrendered, he would let his family go and entrust him with important tasks, but Yelu Chucai refused, otherwise Cang Fei would not have put their family in the cell.
"Mongolia is at its peak, His Royal Highness hits a stone with an egg, and it will soon be destroyed, and I won't live long if I defect, it is better to save the name and honor and live for a hundred generations, then Mongolia will remember the loyalty of the old minister in the future." Yelu Chucai said.
"Presumptuous, my Highness's heavenly resources will definitely destroy Mongolia and revive the mountains and rivers of the Han family!" shouted the nearby sergeants, their eyes were extremely angry, they were extremely pious to Cang Fei, and believed that Cang Fei would definitely be able to lead the Han people to destroy Mongolia and lead tens of millions of Han people to victory.
Cang Fei glanced at those sergeants, and suddenly all the sergeants were awe-struck in their hearts, and they didn't dare to snort anymore, but they still stared at Yelu Chucai indignantly.
Cang Fei said to Yelu Chucai, with a pleasant face: "Whether my Great Qin will be destroyed, and whether my Han people are really unable to fight against the Mongols, you have to see it with your own eyes to confirm." Why don't you temporarily commit yourself to my Qin country, and look at my Great Qin and Mongolia, who will kill the deer?"
Yelu Chucai said: "Since the beginning of the Song Kingdom, the Han people have been weak for hundreds of years, how can you change it in just a few years, Your Highness." ”
Cang Fei said: "There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts." This king was originally just a cloth cloth, loved by the people, Fang unveiled the rod and rose, and finally has today's achievements, now Luoyang has been decided, the Central Plains is in my Daqin, the people eat pot pulp to welcome, it is the desire of the people, since ancient times to win the hearts of the people to win the world, I do not believe that Mongolia with millions of people, can fight against my thousands of Han people. ”
Yelu Chucai didn't say a word and lowered his head.
Cang Fei said again: "Even if you don't care about your own life, don't you care about the lives of your children?
