Chapter 28 Checkmate(2/2)
At this time, Hong Ya had lost his basic ability to feel and react. He only had one feeling, that is, it was too cold. His whole body was freezing. Then there was only one thought that lingered around until the last moment of his life.
...That is, if I mustered up the courage to scold the Jurchens in public, and accepted such merit, I dare not say that I would alarm the officials, but would I be able to offend my 'upline' Jingsai County Prince?
To judge a martyr, how about entering Yuetai?
"This matter ends here."
I don't know how long it took before Wu Shu spoke, and his face was still bitter. "Next, I have already discussed with Mr. Xi Yin, and I will ask the king to issue an order later... The matter of unauthorized entry into the palace today cannot be investigated.
The three families of Han, Zuo and Liu will only kill the chief culprit... After dawn, together with my eldest brother, we will call out the Yanyun clan in the city, and the two sides will share the weapons, gold and silver in the treasury equally... to avoid further trouble. "
At this point, Wu Shu felt a little helpless, but he still had to say: "This is something that can't be helped. The chaos tonight will definitely not be concealed. If the news spreads, I am afraid that the new troops from the outside will immediately switch sides and surrender... We
We have to leave as soon as possible...take the Gubeikou to exit the fortress! If we can't get along well with the remaining Yanyun clan at this time, the whole country will be destroyed."
Ta Lan withdrew his gaze from Hong Ya's corpse and shook his head repeatedly: "Even so, we can't negotiate for peace, and we will eventually be chased and beaten... Today we made peace with the Yanyun clan and escaped from Yanjing. What will happen when we get to Zhongjing Road tomorrow?
Only by being at peace with the Mongols can we get to Liao. Once we reach Liao, how can we be at peace with the Koreans? When we get to Huanglong Mansion, will we still have to be at peace with the Bohai people and the Khitans... But at that time, I don’t know how the Zhao Guan family
What kind of new condition is this? Are you afraid that even the leader of the country will die?"
"I know how serious this matter is." Wu Shu waited for the other party to finish speaking before speaking in a deep voice. "When the time comes, I will have an explanation. At least I can let the official draw a thorough path... No more cats.
Playing with mice.”
Talan shook his head, obviously not believing it.
Wanyan Yinshuke and He Shilie Taiyu also had their eyes wandering for a moment, not knowing what they were thinking.
Without the third force to fish in troubled waters, the chaos at night ended quickly. Just as everyone thought, the three families of Han, Zuo, and Liu seemed to have a lot of strength in the new army, but those people had no combat experience or generals.
Their quality is far inferior to that of the rest of the people led by Zan Lubu and others.
The arsenal was quickly recaptured. Although the ruler of the country was very dissatisfied with the deaths of Han Fang and Zuo Yuan, he did not dare to disobey his adoptive father and fourth uncle, as well as other officials including Wanyan Xiyin, another prestigious provincial deputy prime minister.
Almost everyone agrees.
Early the next morning, he issued decrees one after another, the first of which was to pardon all the rebels yesterday; then, with Wanyan Xiyin as the leader, he took charge of the national evacuation from Yanjing; at the same time, he opened the treasury and demanded that all those who had official positions in Yanjing but were unwilling to
The officials who accompanied the nation to the fortress came to collect goods and ordnance according to their rank... As for the remaining food, at Wanyan Xiyin's suggestion, it was simply distributed to the people in the city in the name of compensation for last night's chaos.
Of course, it is impossible to convince everyone with this arrangement.
On the contrary, under the so-called good relationship and good separation, there are various dissatisfactions that were forcibly suppressed by the military... Almost no one recognized this result.
The young king could never forget the death of his mentor. He did not even dare to ask afterwards whether it was He Shilie's group who did it or his adoptive father's good son who did it.
The eldest prince was particularly angry at He Shilie's actions, but facing the middle alliance between the fourth prince, Xi Yin and the king, even he could only suppress his anger.
He Shilie and others were obviously a little dissatisfied with yesterday's failure, and they were also worried about being settled by the Queen of Autumn.
As for the so-called national clan and the great clans of Yandi, they are not so smooth at this moment... I don’t know how many people in the national clan are unwilling to leave Yanjing. Some of them have even lived along the Yellow River further south for more than ten years. How?
Are you willing to suddenly return to some place with white mountains and black waters?
Not to mention, the Jurchen dignitaries left in such a hurry that they couldn't bring all the gold beads, ordnance, etc., so they had to divide it evenly with the Yan land tribes, exchanging goods and ordnance for vehicles and livestock, and this kind of division was incompatible with this hasty way.
Both parties are bound to feel dissatisfied with the deal they make.
But then again, under the political alliance of Wu Shu, the king of the country, and Xi Yin, the eldest prince was held on the left, He Shilie, Ta Lan and others were held on the right, and a few generals and Jurchens were held on the bottom.
They could barely maintain a behavior as a whole, but it allowed them to forcefully start the evacuation operation with a sharp knife and chaotic attitude.
Moreover, it won’t work if we don’t withdraw.
The turmoil in Yanjing City was spread to Zhuozhou by someone who was interested in that afternoon... There was no way, at this time, even closing the four gates would become 'evidence' of the turmoil in Yanjing, not to mention the news the night before?
After receiving the news, Fan Yang's new army camp, which was shaken on all fronts, immediately started an avalanche. With a large number of soldiers fleeing, the new army tried their best to put together a situation in the evening, and gathered seven or eight generals.
, wrote a letter asking for surrender, collectively surrendered to Han Shizhong in the Xincheng area to the south, and requested Marshal Han to come and receive the troops.
At night, I am afraid that the surrender letter from the Fan Yang camp in front has not yet been sent to Xincheng. The Liangxiang garrison behind, Old General Cheng Mucheng, who was born in a wealthy family in Yandi, learned about the news from the camp in front and decided to surrender.
The nearly seventy-year-old figure turned around and hung the prepared Zhao Song flag on the top of Liangxiang City.
Then he took the initiative to inform Yanjing of his ‘righteous act of changing the flag’.
In the middle of the night, news of Liangxiang reached Yanjing... Although the top leaders of Yanjing had long expected the collapse of the front line, they were still upset. However, it was already late at night, so it did not directly cause chaos in the city.
But that was it. At dawn, news spread rapidly and uncontrollably in the city. The local wealthy people began to mobilize again. The armored new army regained their courage and occupied and controlled some government agencies and key officials without any scruples.
There are also many local new troops patrolling the street entrances and lanes outside the road.
Then came the test and the conflict, and this time, the Jurchen soldiers and horses, who had no intention of fighting, were in a state of collapse.
Soon, even the most important arsenal was taken away by the local wealthy families in Yanjing, and no one tried to take it back again.
The night before, countless people racked their brains and planned hard, as if they were vying for something big. Only one day later, they were easily crushed by a flag that hung up on its own. It was ridiculous.
But to be honest, the Jurchens really couldn't hold on anymore, and soon the decree was spread everywhere... The king of the country left in the afternoon, and all the nationalities went with him. Officials from the Han area should accompany him as much as possible.
Those who wish to leave may not leave.
Zheng Xiunian chose to stay. He did not dare to try the excitement of the night before. However, Qin Hui, who had also escaped the night before, hurriedly packed up his gifts and went out with his wife Wang, as if he was preparing to go out of the country with him.
"Why does Qin Xianggong want to leave too?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as they exited the alley, Qin Hui and his wife were greeted by a blocker who was in his prime.
Qin Hui glanced at this man. Although he could not remember the specific origin, he vaguely felt that he looked familiar. He seemed to be a Han captive in Jingkang. He paused on his horse for a moment, and then sighed quietly: "If I stay, I will definitely die!"
"Is it true that because I was convicted of being the Prime Minister of the Jin Dynasty, I took the opportunity to change my name and surname and become an ordinary person?" The young Han man immediately became anxious. "Xiangong Qin, in the current situation, if the good people of the Song Dynasty don't do this, how can we become a woman?
Real person?"
Qin Hui still wanted to speak, but unexpectedly, the Wang family in the carriage behind him urged him directly: "Let's go, let's go! Do you want to lag behind others even when you are fleeing? Do you really want to be a poor person, eating chestnuts all day long?"
At this time, Qin Huizhi finally remembered the experience of the Han people who blocked him, but he just lowered his head and urged the attendants to move forward without saying a word... Behind him, there were seventeen or eighty vehicles, full of people.
He has received rewards and bribes from Jurchen nobles over the years.
But after he left, the Han man behind him who was pushed away by the attendants was still shouting anxiously: "Xiangong Qin, if you really go outside the Great Wall, I'm afraid you will die without a chance!"
Qin Hui only did it but never heard of it.
Since he was fleeing, there was bound to be no order... Qin Hui came up the street and wanted to look for the fourth prince's car-mounted honor guard to follow him, but he couldn't find it at all. He also looked for Xi Yin's family members, but couldn't find them either. He had no choice.
Next, you can only choose to wait beside the north gate road, and prepare to follow the king's carriage back north.
But this time Qin Hui waited for Wanyan Xiyin and the family members of Wanyan Xiyin and the fourth prince, but the fourth prince himself was not seen.
"Where is the Fourth Prince?"
Qin Hui was lucky enough to survive the night before, but he was very cautious, but he still couldn't help but be filled with doubts... If there was no fourth prince - Xi Yin - why the leader of the country did not balance the core of the Jurchen Alliance, he was afraid that he would suffer disaster on the road... So
Take the initiative to ask Wanyan Xiyin.
"I'll tell Xianggong Qin when I get to Gubeikou." Wanyan Xiyin's face was as dark as water and he answered calmly.
Qin Huizhi only felt that his scalp was numb, but he was helpless.
After walking hard all the way, people kept escaping. In the evening, after passing Gubeikou, everyone reluctantly took a rest. However, Qin Hui was still thinking about the whereabouts of Wanyan Wushu. After settling down his family for a while, he hurriedly came to ask Xiyin.
"After the news came last night that the Liangxiang was rebellious, the fourth prince immediately bound himself and headed south to seek peace with Zhao Guan's family!" Xiyin replied directly without any emotion. "I gathered all his family members for him."
When Qin Hui heard about it, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
PS: Thanks to slyshotn boss for his 13th cuteness and Maraka’s cuteness, this is the 227th cuteness.
Then he sacrificed two books as a routine, "Zhu Dao in the Heavens" and "Welcome to My Weird Website".
Finally, maybe take a leave... There will be a training event of the Chinese Writers Association today on the 9th. The standards should be relatively high and the discipline should be more serious. I don't know how intense the learning process is, and I don't know if I will be back on the evening of the 9th.
